MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN - Summer 2012
Welcome to our Summer!
There
is
plenty
to
read
on
this
site
about
our
Jubilee
celebrations.
We
have
always
taken
pride
in
putting
on
good
quality
events
and
the
Jubilee
weekend
was
no
exception.
The
celebration
in
the
Village
Hall
on
Saturday
night
and
the
family
day
on
the
Sunday
were
both
very
different
and
it
was
great
to
see
so
many
people
attending.
We
are
very
fortunate
to
have
a
good
weather
venue
in
the
Winchfield
and
an
alternative
in
the Village Hall.
At
the
recent
Joint
Committee
meeting,
we
decided
to
concentrate
on
the
Village
Hall
this
year.
A
recent
energy
audit
has
underlined
the
need
to
fit
new
windows
and
improve
the
insulation
as
well
as
doing
some
other
work
to
keep
the
building
up
to
a
good
standard.
We
are
able
to
get
a grant to cover the majority of the costs but we shall also be doing some fund raising this year to make up the shortfall.
Another
big
change
over
the
last
few
weeks
has
been
the
resurfacing
of
the
road
through
the
village.
I'm
sure
we
all
appreciate
not
being
shaken
about
on
our
way
to
and
from
our
homes!
The
resurfacing
was
in
the
plan
but
could
have
been
any
time
in
the
next
three
years.
However,
a
petition,
the
engagement
of
the
local
Councillors
and
letters
written
by
a
number
of
individuals
helped
bring
the
need
into
sharp
focus
and
the
work was given a priority. Thank you to everyone who participated in the online petition or contacted the Council.
Finally,
I
know
many
of
you
use
the
website
to
look
at
the
newsletter
(if
only
to
get
the
images
in
colour!).
But
don't
forget
you
can
advertise
your
business
as
well
(
see
the
Village
Information
menu
item
above
).
If
you
are
interested,
use
the
'contact
us'
form
and
we
will
get
back
to
you
with
prices and specifications.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN - Winter 2012
I
n
the
Christmas
edition
of
the
newsletter
you
will
find
lots
of
information
on
forthcoming
events
as
well
as
reviews
of
recent
activities.
The
recent
“Call
my
wine
Bluff”
evening
proved
to
be
very
popular.
Once
we
had
all
got
the
hang
of
what
it
was
all
about,
everybody
seemed
to
be
enjoying
themselves,
but
then
who
wouldn't
after
sampling
all
those
wines!
The
money
raised
will
go
to
the
continuing
improvement
of
the
Village
Hall.
The
new
windows
and
heaters
have
made
the
hall
very
cosy
indeed
and
the
final
stages
of
improvement
will
be
to
paint
the
walls
and varnish the floor. The next fund-raising event is the “Auction of all Auctions” on 23rd March 2013.
This
will
probably
be
my
last
message
to
you
as
Chairman.
Carol
and
I
want
a
smaller
house
and
it
looks
like
our
sale
is
proceeding.
We
want
to
remain
in
The
Vale
and
looking
at
property
in
other
villages
has
reminded
me
how
blessed
we
are
to
live
here.
What
other
village
can
boast
a
Church,
a
Village
Hall,
two
great
pubs,
listed
buildings,
a
large
communal
playing
field
and
Parish
Field
of
Special
Scientific
Interest!
Many
of
these
features
need
active
management
and
I
would
like
to
thank
the
committee
members
past
and
present
for
their
support.
We
should
not
be
moving too far away and you will still probably find us in one of the pubs from time to time!
