  • The Idsworth Church Friends Trust 3 AGM – Wednesday 24 April, 2019
    The Idsworth Church Friends Trust 3rd AGM – Wednesday 24th April, 2019 1.Apologies: Dinah Lawson, Jennifer Oatley, Rebecca Probert, Deborah Richards, June Heap, Jill Everett, Tom Everett, Mike Driver, David Uren, Cllr Chris Stanley, Cllr Marge Harvey, Alan Hakim. Attendance: 35 Confirm Minutes of the last meeting (19th April, 2018): These were made available to all Friends via the website. Proposer: Andrew Fisk and Seconder: Simon Hartley 2. Chairman’s Review of the Year: ‘It is incredible to think that, a year ago, we were sitting in the church on the new pew cushions purchased by The Friends and, I am pleased to say, they have proved to make life very much more comfortable for those attending church services, concerts, social events and even AGMs! In April, 2018, Mr Tobit Curteis of the Courthauld Institute was commissioned to inspect the church environment and advise on the condition of the wall paintings. His report was subsequently included in the application to the Heritage Lottery Fund. The last twelve months has been a very busy time for the Friends’ Trust. So what have we achieved during the course of the last year? Well, ten events took place in 2018 for a start: Despite a very hot summer, the weather deluged for our Dark Skies Event in April and we were confined to activities in the church – a great pity as we had a number of families attending and, supported by the team of experts from Clanfield observatory, there was no opportunity to star gaze through their telescopes due to the heavy rain.

  • DITCHAM PARK SCHOOL Past Staff Association Newsletter Email: [email protected]
    DITCHAM PARK SCHOOL Past Staff Association Newsletter Email: [email protected] June 2018 Dear Friends, I am delighted to be writing to you for the first time as the new Co- ordinator of the Ditcham Park School, Past Staff Association. Some of you will already know me, but for those who don’t my name is Alison Chapman and I was the Head’s PA/Office Manager/Secretary at the school from September 1997 until March 2017. During that time I was privileged to work for Paddy Holmes, Kathryn Morton, Andrew Rowley and Rob Connolly and can say in all honesty that working at Ditcham was the best job I had in my entire 40 year career. There is something truly special about the school on the hill and the fact that the Past Staff Association now boasts almost 70 members, is testament to the strength of feeling that we all have for it. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and to keeping everyone in touch, not just with each other, but also with what is going on at the school. I would like to start however, by thanking Pam Richards for all her hard work over the past 18 years. From small beginnings in Paddy’s front room, the Association has grown and grown and she has done sterling work arranging the annual lunch, distributing the newsletters and keeping everyone in touch. At the recent lunch at The Brookfield Hotel in Emsworth, attended by around 25 members, Paddy paid tribute to Pam and presented her with a gift of thanks.

  • The History of Lasham Airfield
    GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE A HISTORY OF LASHAM AIRFIELD Author Glyn Bradney Description Lasham airfield in WW2 and how it became a major gliding centre Date 28th April 2015, version 1.) INTRODUCTION The articles I’ve written for the Gliding Heritage Centre website to-date have been intended to fulfil the educational remit that the GHC has through being a registered charity. Given that the GHC is based at Lasham, which is one of the very largest gliding organisations in the world, it seems appropriate that I should write something on the history of Lasham itself. However, I’m not going to go into huge detail in covering every single one of the airfield’s many facets, there are other sources which I will reference should the reader really wish to “dig deep” into its evolution and past in particular areas. ("Lasham Airfield" by fr:Utilisateur:Steff - Personal picture ex Wikipedia, taken during a London Stansted-Dinard flight, May 2006, looking SE. Lasham village is at “3 o’clock”, the ATC maintenance facility at “5 o’clock”.) Lasham airfield, pronounced as “Lash-am” throughout the gliding world, was built by McAlpines in 1941/1942 using Irish labourers and Italian prisoners of war. The usual airfield naming convention was used, namely that of the nearest significant habitation, in this case Lasham village. The history of Lasham village itself goes back a long way. It’s recorded in the Doomsday All rights Reserved | The Gliding Heritage Centre, Lasham Airfield, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 5SS| GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE book of 1086 as being of “2 ½ hides”, at that time called “”Esseham”.
