    PRIORS DEAN VINEYARD FINE ENGLISH WINE www.priorsdeanvineyard.co.uk Information and sales. Pam Morley 5 St Mary’s Road Liss Hampshire GU33 7AH Tel: 01730 894147 Email: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2010 The year in the vineyard Definitely a disappointing year. It started well, with the pruning done in good time, and then a period of sunshine and light breeze when the vines were flowering meant they set a good crop. Then it all went downhill, the vines need to be sprayed at regular intervals to keep away the mildew, and just at the wrong time we had machinery troubles, which coincided with a period of hot humid weather. Result powdery mildew jumped in and none of the chemicals we are allowed to use will eradicate it once it is established. It became obvious we were going to lose two thirds of the crop. Although a few rows of Seyval escaped, the decision was made that it was not cost effective to pick. Every time we send a load to the winery it costs £400 crushing fee and then so much per bottle thereafter, If we were desperately short of stock it might have been worth it, but we have had two good years recently and have enough in store. So no 2010 vintage I am afraid. Many thanks are due to all who helped with the cold winter pruning, and the summer trim and sort out. Although there seems no tangible result this time the vines are always looking ahead and work done this year helps to form new buds for next summer’s fruit.

  • Starkie, Emily I Would Like to Submit the Following Comments on the Draft
    Starkie, Emily From: Charles Louisson Sent: 10 December 2017 11:54 To: reviews Subject: East Hampshire Local Government Boundary Review - response to Draft proposals - Cllr C Louisson (Ropley & Tisted ward councillor) I would like to submit the following comments on the draft proposals for East Hampshire District Council, published on 3rd October 2017. These are my personal comments and do not necessarily reflect the views of any parish within the current Ropley & Tisted ward nor any parish proposed to be incorporated into a new ward including Ropley & Tisted, nor do they necessarily reflect the views of East Hampshire District Council. Content of Draft proposals: I wish to correct for the record that the comments attributed to Ropley Parish Council in the draft proposals were submitted by myself, as shown in the list of representations, and represented my personal views which are not necessarily those of Ropley Parish Council. Comment on draft proposals: As a rural ward councillor I am pleased to see that the commission have assembled predominantly rural wards to exploit the synergy between those communities rather than using the smaller rural parishes to balance the numbers in urban dominated wards, which would have been an easy solution given the mainly numeric approach taken to this review. This approach allows the elected councillor the focus clearly on the rural issues without distraction by more urban issues. At a local level the commission have understood the synergy between East Tisted and Colemore & Priors Dean suggested in my previous representation and included that in the proposal for the Ropley and Tisted ward.

Pam Morley 5 St Mary’s Road Liss Hampshire GU33 7AH Tel: 01730 894147 Email:[email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2013 Good News for once! After all the lean – and wet – summers it is almost unbelievable to report a potentially good harvest. All the varieties are looking good. Even the Bacchus grape, which has been reluctant to produce much in the past, has branches with good looking fruit. After last summer’s disastrous weather we had hopes for this year but it looked as though this would come to nothing in the cold wet spring. The vines were reluctant to start growing and budburst was at least two weeks later than usual. Then everything changed, there was a bright breezy spell, which is what the vines need at flowering time and all three varieties set a good crop. Since then the weather has been good with plenty of sun and so far although there are traces of mildews most have been kept at bay. It could all change, there could be contiguous rain from now on, but even so we ought to be able to salvage enough to make a worthwhile vintage. The current estimate for the first picking is for the first week in October with the second two to three weeks later. Beech Hanger Gold wins award We haven’t been entering our wines for the National competition (UK wine of the Year) recently. We didn’t have much stock, and entering involves a fee and sending bottles up for specialist analysis, also at a price.
