All HVI users,

The Hursley 10k is nearly upon us again. We have over 350 runners already signed up (no entry on the day this year) which is great.

Reeds Reins are one of the main sponsors this year, along with others, and we very much appreciate having them all on board. As in previous years we are looking for a few villagers that live on the main road to allow us to put a Reeds Reins notice board on the outside of their property. Anyone that is able to help with this please do let us know soonest as we are aiming to put boards up asap.

I am sure anyone else who can help out on the day will be more than welcome, just let us know your name and contact details and we will find a job for you J.

Thanks again for the villagers support in this year’s Hursley 10k

The 2011 Census is fast approaching and on behalf of the Office for National
Statistics (ONS), Capita is starting to recruit for part-time Community
Advisors to help it run smoothly.

They also will also be recruiting Census Coverage Survey and Non Compliance
staff in early 2011, so you can also register your interest for these jobs
on the website.

A short survey has been made available for Winchester District residents and
businesses. It will help to measure the level of demand for better
broadband. The survey asks for details of current internet speeds, and seeks
views on what you would pay for faster access to the World Wide Web. The
results will be mapped, and overlaid onto an existing map of not-spots - a
term to describe areas with very poor broadband access. This will identify
the areas which require higher speed broadband access.

The evidence that is gathered will be used to lobby internet service
providers, and those providing internet infrastructure, to provide a better
service to Winchester.

You can access the survey at http://www.ehampshire.org/winchester/c-339
which also has a tool to measure your current broadband speed. In addition,
you can email more general comments to Kate Cloud, Economic Development
Manager, at ecdev@winchester.gov.uk or telephone 01962 848 563.

A bracelet has been found in the park and handed into Janet at the post office. If you have lost it please do pop in and see Janet with a description.

When: Thursday, 30 September from 10.30am. Seats are limited, so it will
be first come, first served.
Where: The Screen Cinema, St. Cross Road, Winchester. Help with transport
is available for anyone who would like to come along. Please pass this flyer along to anyone over 55 living in the Winchester
District who might like to attend this free, fun event!
The event is being organised and hosted by the Winchester and District Over
55's Forum. This Forum is made up of volunteers from around the District
who have come together to help make life better for Over 55's in our
communities. If you have any questions, or you'd like to arrange transport for a group of
over 55's to attend the event, please contact me on 01962 848 497. I hope to see many of you there.

Fun for funds PR for Thornden.doc (608 KB)

I thought that you might like to hear about a fun and rather special fund
raiser;

Hotel du Vin v Lainston House in a 'Ready, Steady, Cook' style Charity
Chefs' Challenge on Thursday 30th September.
Welcome drinks will be served from 7pm and the show will commence at 7.30pm
In Thornden Hall performing arts centre in Chandler's Ford. It's a beautiful
theatre and there will be cameramen doing close ups on the Chefs and food.

Proceeds go to Wave 105's 'Cash for Kids' (50%) Macmillan Cancer Support
(25%) and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (25%).
This is a volunteer led event.  Unavoidable expenses will be kept to an
absolute minimum.

The show will be hosted by Simon Clarke from Wave 105's afternoon programme,

The emphasis is on fun, involvement and learning. As well as top class food
demonstrations, there's plenty of audience participation with Q&A
opportunities and some lucky people will be invited to sample the food at
the Chefs' table!  Everyone will vote and choose the winners.

In addition to a great raffle, there will be a charity auction. You can bid
for some fantastic 'money-can't-buy' experiences, such as Head Chef Andy
Mackenzie of Lainston House coming to your home to cook dinner for 8 people.
 A cookery lesson with Adam Fargin and champagne dinner for 2 at Hotel du
Vin and a day sailing on the Solent for 10.  Visit  www.cookerydemo.co.uk.

Dear All,
Just to make you aware a workshop on Southend Close was broken into between
09/05/10 and 14/07/10. At this time nothing is believed to have been taken.
Please could all residents be extra vigilant over the coming weeks so it is
made totally inhospitable for these people to commit crime in our village.
Kind Regards
