Hursley Fete Thank you

Hursley Country Fete – Saturday 12th June 2010

Thank you to all of you who supported the fete this year  and thanks to all of you that took part in the Country Dancing (Class 1 and 2) and the Indian Dancing (Class 3) and the JK Crew.  I think everyone enjoyed the return of the Animalman and his array of animals and it was great to see the Premier Martial Arts Academy display. 

Thank you to all the boys who brought along their “toys” and not forgetting the return of the Morris Men and the Tug of War, which, combined with the weather meant that there was a fabulous attendance.  Thanks also to ProVision (www.pvprojects.com) for their sponsorship and to Simon and Helen Broadribb of Uptons of Bassett who supplied lovely burgers and sausages at a much discounted rate and, not forgetting all of you that kindly donated bottles, chocolate, homemade cakes, plants, toys and bric a brac. 

In addition, a massive thank you to all the Fete Committee who worked so hard to bring the event together but also to all the volunteers on the day without whose help this event would not have been such a success.  We think that we will have raised in the region of £6,200 which will be split 60:40 John Keble School:All Saints Church.  This money will help to purchase the extra equipment in the Wooden Play Area which was installed during the May half term.

Visit the hursleyvillage.info website to see lots of photos that capture the fun of the day!  Below are the winners of all the various activities – well done to you all!

Best wishes - Amanda Apps

World cup fever in Hursley!

World Cup fever hits Hursley - Dinosaurs defeated by Tadpoles. 

Sunday evening saw an eruption of World Cup fever on the recreation ground as the Tadpoles (average age 13) narrowly defeated the Dinosaurs (average age 45) in a closely contested game-of-two-halves in front of a capacity crowd (6).   The score was a nail-biting 7-all at the final whistle, blown by referee (aged 89) The result being decided by the final ball of a penalty shoot-out, which went in off the post.  The photo shows the relaxed and smiling victors, the exhausted Dinosaurs providing mutual support, and the Tadpoles’ team mascot modelling an item from her ‘Hand of Dog’ range of World Cup pet wear.

Note: If you have any comments we would love to hear them!

Dear Friends

I hope you have had a great half term break, enjoying the unusually hot days.  Let’s hope that the good weather continues into this second half of term so that we can have a successful fete, dry overnight camps and rain-free sports day!

By the time you are reading this, the new play equipment (bought by the Friends) will have been installed on the adventure playground…pop round and have a look at the fruits of all our fundraising efforts!

In the meantime, this half term is always a busy but fun time for us all. 

We kick off this Saturday 12th June with the Hursley Country Fayre (11.30-3pm, in the School Grounds).  Don’t forget to hand in sold raffle ticket stubs (together with the money) to the school before the day – we have some fantastic prizes to be won including 2 overnight stays at local hotels.  As ever, we need helpers to man some of the stands, so please do sign up on the boards outside school if you can help out for a few hours.  And remember non-uniform day this Friday, in return for cakes or cookies to be sold at the fete.  Most importantly, come along on the day to enjoy a fantastic family day out…fire engines and all!

Tuesday 29th June, 7.30pm - Friends Meeting – Hannah’s house

Lainston Houes, Hotel du Vin, Chewton Glen and Lime Wood charity events

Dear all,

I have organised two  ‘’Ready Steady cook style charity chefs’ challenge’’ the first at Ballard school in New Milton on July 12th and the second at Thornden school on September 30th Here are a few more details.

The Chewton Glen and Lime Wood hotels event is part of the Hampshire food festival program.  The Joseph Patrick trust ( a division of Muscular Dystrophy) and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance will be the beneficiaries.

I have a second charity event .  The same format but between Hotel du Vin and Lainston House (Winchester) being held at Thornden Hall Performing Arts centre in Chandlers Ford (just off junction 12 M3).  This is on September 30th. The event is in association with WAVE105 and will be promoted on air and on their website (already listed). WAVE105 Cash for Kids , Macmillan Cancer support and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance will be the beneficiaries.

These events were my idea and I have put them together as a volunteer, giving my time, energy and enthusiasm for free. I am not a professional fund raiser (I am a Beauty Therapist). There is currently a committee of 1 which is me!

I have created http://www.cookerydemo.co.uk to make up for the small committee. 

I have a total of 600+ tickets to sell so any publicity would be a tremendous help.

I hope that this might be of interest to the village.

With my very best wishes

Nursery School/ Day Care facilities at the Parish Hall

Nursery School/ Day Care facilities at the Parish Hall

Following the comments of John Quigley with regard to Montessori, I felt it would be timely to let you know that the Hall Management Committee are seeking to have a new provider of Nursery School/Day Care in place for the new academic year. We are near to completing hire arrangements with a nursery school and hope that they will be able to make an announcement in the next week.

We appreciate and apologise for the inconvenience this change will be to those of you from the Parish who have, or planned to have, children attending Montessori next year.

What's your news? *

I was very sorry to hear that the Montessori will not be reopening in September. From what I hear it was a very popular service (for over 10 years) and I was due to start using it next september for 3 full days for 1 child and an after school pick up for the other. I now find myself with a bit of a problem.
If anybody can recommend a child minding service that would also be willing to do a pick up from the school I would be very interested to talk to them.
My number is 775596.
