The AGM of the Idmiston Parish Memorial Hall committee took place on 2nd May, it was an opportunity to set out the achievements of the past year and outline some of the plans for the future. It was also the occasion to thank the outgoing chairman, David Creswell (who has stepped down due to ill health) for his hard work and wish him a speedy recovery; we also said thank you and farewell to Steven Cocking who has been the committee secretary for the past 18months. We are pleased to welcome Valerie Creswell as the new Chairman and Deborah Harris as the new Secretary; Rebecca Adams remains as Treasurer and Katherine Wilford as Bookings Secretary.
t has been another busy and pro table year for the hall used by many local groups as a enue for clubs as di erse as painting lacemaking country western dancing badminton and Short at Bowls as well as regular meetings of the local W O er s Scouts Bea ers and others oddlers group. Bookings for pri ate parties continue to bring in regular income whether they are children s parties complete with bouncy castle birthday parties for th th with a mobile bar dancing christenings wedding receptions funeral teas or ust an ad hoc meeting we ha e been able to accommodate them all. O er the past year we ha e also hosted the illage ui es a screening of the Secret Spit res lm teas for the open gardens last summer and ha e functioned as a polling station for elections. The main hall and entrance hallway have received a new coat of paint and we hope the rest of the hall will be completed this summer.
Plans for the future are currently being drawn up. he committee are looking to impro e the facilities at the hall following consultation with regular hall users. Some of the ma or factors under consideration are the need for increased storage better insulation for the hall as a whole and potentially a more eco e cient heating system the possibility of additional toilet facilities and a small kitchen for use by those in the small hall and increased parking. An architect has been engaged to put some of these ideas on paper which can then be presented for wider consultation at a public meeting we can then formulate a business plan and look into fundraising options rants Section monies and funds from the ommunity nfrastructure Le y . his is ery much in the embryonic stage and is iewed as a long term pro ect.
he committee of olunteers are working hard to maintain this ital community asset for the bene t of parishioners in all three villages and we always welcome volunteers and ideas from within the community. As for Club or private renting, if anyone would be interested in seeing the facilities in the all please contact the Booking Secretary who can arrange a visit

Dear local friends,
I’m writing to invite you to our meetings at the Idmiston Memorial Hall in Porton. We are a club whose members are model makers, and like-minded folk. We meet at 7:30pm on nearly every third Wednesday of the month throughout the year, and you will see from our programme that we have a lively range of subjects that our visiting speakers and members talk to us about (not just model engineering), and you certainly don’t need to be a model maker to attend our meetings ( I’m not a model maker (;<)) ).

With spring on the way, well it was the week before I am writing this report, it seems strange to be reporting on the Group’s Christmas activities so I won’t go into great detail! However, I must just say a BIG THANK YOU to Everyone who supported the Scout Christmas Postal Service in any way. We, here in the valley, sold 4,104 stamps and delivered 3,492 cards and somewhere in the district the 1,000,000th card since the postal service in this district started, was delivered. You never know it may have been yours! Quite an achievement for a voluntary organisation and it’s all due to all our wonderful leaders, children and supporters, we couldn’t do it without you, so THANK YOU again.

How Porton has changed over the last century! Thanks to the Bourne Valley Historical Society, who have the most amazing archives, we can look back to very different times in Porton and all the surrounding villages. Over the next few editions of the Newsletter I hope to show you what the villages used to be like and perhaps residents may have memories themselves that they might like to share in the Newsletter. The BVHS is always looking for more information to add to the archives and are more than happy to share what they already have.
Chapman’s Corner’s name was adopted from r. hapman s shop which was at Winterslow oad and this is possibly the shop shown in the picture with Caroline’s hairdressers which probably dates from the s. he Blacksmith s premises were on the other side of the road going up Gomeldon Hill. They had moved from a site on the road to Porton Down and were near the railway bridge. he blacksmith was called red and was a well-known character in the village.
At Winterslow oad is Porton ouse. It was once a general shop trading as Hall and Selway. Previously it had been called Pro idence and was owned by r idwell who ran a Post O ce and af . he picture of Porton Cafe probably shows it under the ownership of all and Selway.

dmiston Parish Newsletter Page West Gomeldon Windmill
Having recently joined the Bourne Valley Historical Society and attended some very interesting talks, when I volunteered to help with the Idmiston Parish Newsletter my first port of call was to the Archives of the BVHS. Angela Armstrong is the archivist and is going through all the material and is slowly digitising it. She let me borrow some material and in amongst it I found an article written in the Spring 1995 Idmiston Parish Newsletter. I was intrigued as I was unaware that there had been a windmill in West Gomeldon.
THE WINDMILL AT WEST GOMELDON (Extract from “The History of Winterbourne” by Charles H. Bray - Secretary to the Society when it was founded in 1948 . “The windmill at Gomeldon was brought from Wallop at night in 18 wagons and rebuilt on its present site. It appears that the owner of the land on which the mill stood at Wallop refused to renew the lease. During his absence, practically everyone in the village gave a helping hand and completely demolished the building and then lent their horses and wagons to transport it to Gomeldon during the night. The date is uncertain, but it was between 1860 and 1870. The mill was four stories high with a domed wooden roof, painted white and was a well- known landmark. The sails, which were about sixty feet in length, were automatically kept in the wind by a fan wheel which was on the opposite side of the roof. If the wind changed its direction, it caught the fan wheel which turned the rood round and brought the sails into the wind again. When the wind was blowing directly into the sails, it could not operate the small wheel because the roof formed a protecting screen and the wheel was sideways to the wind. The mill had three pairs of stones and machinery for cleaning the corn. It was last used in 1884 when the miller and part owner, George Bray, died, although it was run for a few months by Silas Porter. The road leading to the old ruin was made by the miller and the trees on either side were planted by him.” e-Published by kind permission of the BV S www.bourne alleyhistory.co.uk Secretary aureen Atkinson .
