Perhaps it’s a sporting event like Wimbledon or perhaps the Trooping of the Colour or maybe it’s Strawberries and Cream that comes to mind! Every day seems a special day for something somewhere in the world. But here in the UK in June we have a number of designated weeks to particularly remember and thank certain groups of people: 1 – 6 June is Volunteers’ week 7 – 13 June is Carers’ week 7-12 June is National Intensive Care week 17 – 22 is Neighbours’ week These are all about relationships and helping others. They remind me that when Jesus was asked which were the greatest commandments he replied, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ (Matthew 22: 37-39) As we emerge from the pandemic, thank you to those who continued to volunteer, continued to care and to be good neighbours. By the way, did you know that June 29 is Camera Day? Don’t forget at this year’s fete we have a photographic competition, so why not take part. Best wishes Gale *************************** MacMillan Cancer Support Golf Challenge Alan, Jake, Ian and Graham will be participating in this event in June by playing 72 holes / 4 rounds of golf at Upavon Golf Club in a single day raising money for the charity. To support the boys in this challenge there will be a pop-up fundraiser (COVID conscious) at The Post House, High Street, Netheravon on Tuesday 8th June between 2-4 pm. There will be cakes, a raffle and good bric-a-brac on sale. If you would like to donate to the challenge you can do so at www.longestdaygolf.macmillan.org.uk and search for The Upavon Pterodactyls in the donate section of the website. Thank you and look forward to seeing you on the day. Alan and Sarah NETHERAVON IN BLOOM The Parish Council will be running Netheravon in Bloom again this year. The categories will be: Best Hanging Basket Best Front Garden Best Village Flower Tub Best allotment So now is the time to start thinking about what you are going to plant in your garden this year.

  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.

  • River Avon at Bulford
    River Avon at Bulford An Advisory Visit by the Wild Trout Trust June 2013 Contents Introduction Catchment and Fishery Overview Habitat Assessment Recommendations Making It Happen 2 Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust visit undertaken on the Hampshire Avon on the Snake Bend Syndicate’s (SBS) water near Bulford, national grid reference (NGR) SU155428 to SU155428. The visit was requested by Mr Geoff Wilcox, who is the syndicate secretary and river keeper. The visit was focussed on assessing the habitat and management of the water for wild trout Salmo trutta. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr Wilcox. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Catchment and Fishery Overview The Hampshire Avon is recognised as one of the most important river habitats in the UK. It supports a diverse range of fish and invertebrates and over 180 different aquatic plant species. The Avon (and its surrounding water meadows) has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC); however, much of the Avon and its tributaries have been significantly modified for land drainage, agriculture, milling and even navigation. 3 The Avon begins its life as two separate streams known as the Avon West and the Avon East, rising near Devizes and the Vale of Pewsey respectively. The Avon West is designated as a SSSI whilst for reasons unknown, the Avon East is not.
