This data is drawn down to the local authority level and mapped in a radius of the postcode of that facility. The calculations determine if there are enough courts available to meet the demand for public use of tennis. A positive number (green) highlights not enough court capacity to meet demand for tennis. This is calculated using the number of court hours available at peak times (late afternoon, evenings and weekends) multiplied by the number of courts available at the sites. Operational Models – Options As part of the LTA’s work with local authorities, we have encouraged and supported an operating options appraisal at an early project stage to understand what is the best solution to the administration of the courts. The needs of the Local Authority sit firmly in the centre of this process Four clear models have currently been tested; New Club/CITC Leisure Lone Workforce/ outreach Operator Operator Local Authority Operational Critical Success Factors Clear Data method of Collection access Technology Success Courts Online Presence Programme Ring- Online fenced Booking sinking fund System Customer Service Online Lead Presence Generation Mechanism Brand PEOPLE ClubSpark – A new spin on venue management Use of Access Technology • Person applies and pays online – sold per household £34 • Operator activates blank key or card via own computer • Collected or posted to customer • Key / Card will open gate – gate is self closing • Unlimited Tennis valid for one year from date of purchase • Clubspark (LTA CRM System) bookings /communication Visit Swindon Community Tennis to see in action • 12 sites in South West use this technology Moving from free to charged model.? • People happy to pay if facility and customer journey is good • Affordable pricing – per household per annum • Principal is to generate income to resurface courts in future • Alleviate future need for council to invest in courts • Safeguard facilities for the long term • 12 Sites up and running using this model in South West Region • Best to move from free to charged model when work is done to courts Bournemouth Parks Bournemouth Parks, Dorset • Shelley Park (3 courts) opened in 2011 – 300 fobs in Year 1 • Winton (6 Courts), Swanmore (8 Courts) – added in late 2013 • Redhill Park (3 Courts) added in 2015 • All in ‘residential area’ parks • Park Sites combined – 1000 Fobs sold, 2000 live in a household with a Fob. • Court Occupancy peaks in Summer, dips in winter. • Operated by a local tennis club who have paid staff. • Outsourced management, maintenance responsibility (10 Year). Facility Condition Audit – Part 1 Hayling Island Courts need a clean and paint and root damage repaired – 3 Courts around £15k. A full resurface of courts would cost around £35k Jubilee Park The courts need to be resurfaced in 2-3 years time at an approximate cost of £35 - £40k Emsworth Rec No work needed – courts in good condition Purbrook Heath The courts need resurfacing at an approximate cost of £35 - £40k Facility Condition Audit – Part 2 Havant Town The courts are currently non – porous macadam. To convert Centre to porous macadam (preferred surface) would cost around £60-£70k Bidbury Rec The courts need to be resurfaced at an approximate cost of Ground £35 - £40k Cowplain Rec The courts are in reasonable condition and could be fully Ground cleaned and repainted for cost of around £6k. We recommend installing a path to the car park at approximately £5k. Front Lawn Rec LTA is aware of project and supportive of principal. We would Ground consider investing as part of a Borough wide approach Options Appraisal – Initial Thinking A pilot in Hayling Island? • We would like to trial a project on Hayling this summer • Strong Community Group – who could operate technology • Self contained location, no competition for tennis • Small Capital Investment needed (£15k approx.) • We can fund technology / marketing (£10k approx.) • Gives us data and knowledge before looking at other sites Recommendations / Next Steps • Progress pilot project at Hayling • Expand options appraisal work / discussions • Investigate a pilot in Emsworth shorter term • Use the information from pilot work to. • ..form a strategic plan / vision for all sites in Havant. • Work up projects and measure the success.

  • Warblington with Emsworth & Notes on Rowland’S Castle Warblington with Emsworth & Notes on Rowland’S Castle
    Warblington with Emsworth & notes on Rowland’s Castle Warblington with Emsworth & notes on Rowland’s Castle 1.0 PARISH Havant (formerly Warblington) 2.0 HUNDRED Bosmere 3.0 NGR 472900 105400 4.0 GEOLOGY Brickearth. 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Warblington is something of an oasis in an urban sprawl. Immediately to the north (0.5km) the expansion of Havant has been held in check by east / west route of the A27(T), and across wetlands to the east (1km) is the small town of Emsworth. The church and ruined castle occupy the highest ground (approximately 9m AOD) overlooking a stream just 200m to the east that drains into the nearby Langstone and Chichester Harbours (c. 300m south). 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4, & 5) Church and manor house 6.1.1 Church & manor house The core of the manor of Warblington is the Saxon parish church of St Thomas a Becket and, c. 150m north of it, the moated Warblington Castle. The moat is conspicuous on the Tithe Map of c. 1841 and all subsequent Ordnance Surveys. The remains of a substantial C16 gateway draw the eye but this was built on the site of an earlier moated manor. Moated sites (excluding castles) tend to be a feature of C12 to C15. There is also mention of a park at Warblington and VCH (3: 134) suggests that this might have surrounded the manor house. Moat, park, and the medieval new town at Emsworth (see Paragraph 6.2.1) are features that are quite consistent with the aspirations of the late medieval gentry, but this raises a problem.

  • The Real Natives
    ‘Real Natives’ A Study of the History of Oyster Fishing in Chichester Harbour for the Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority Dr Ian Friel MA, PhD, FSA © Ian Friel 2020 Oysters - a once-common food Poor food for friars ‘Give me then of thy gold, to make our cloister’, Quoth he, ‘for many a mussel and many an oyster ‘When other men have been full well at ease ‘Hath been our food, our cloister for to raise’ Geoffrey Chaucer, The Summoner’s Tale, c 1387-88 A Chichester bet In 1813 a man named Martin from Dell Quay Mill and another named Fogden from Donnington met at Chalkright’s fishmonger shop in South Street, Chichester, to settle a bet as to who could eat the most oysters: ‘in a short time each swallowed four hundred large ones’ until Martin called for a halt. Fogden agreed, as long as Martin paid for the oysters. They then went to the King’s Head for a glass of brandy, followed by an eel pie supper at Martin’s house. Ipswich Journal, 11 December 1813, p 1 The London Oyster Season opens: Billingsgate Fishmarket, August 1835: ‘At an early hour a scene of unusual bustle and confusion was apparent. Not less than 5,000 persons were in waiting to be served with the ‘real natives’, while the streets in the vicinity were blocked up with every species of locomotive vehicle to convey the oysters to the various quarters of the metropolis. There were no less than fifty sail of vessels in front of Billingsgate laden with oysters, chiefly from the Kentish coast.

  • The Birds of Warblington & Emsworth
    The Birds of Warblington & Emsworth A personal report for 2017 (with selected historical data back to 2013) Wryneck at Pook Lane By Peter Milinets-Raby (Published January 2017 – 4th Edition) The Birds of Warblington & Emsworth - a personal bird report This report started as a simple counting list to try and establish the number of species seen in the “patch” that I have started to watch regularly since 2013. It developed quickly into a summarised digest of my sightings and then an examination of trends relating to key species, such as Greenshank, Knot, Curlew Sandpiper and Bar-tailed Godwit. Wishing to learn more about the status of these species prompted me to explore the Hampshire Bird Reports as well as the Sussex Bird Reports. The vague lumping of sightings in these editorials for this niche corner of south eastern Hampshire gave me the final impetus to develop the report into a summary of my own records and an exploration of historical archives to try and establish as far as possible a definitive list of the area. Scouring Bird Reports is a thankless task and I have been as careful as possible to pick out the species and records that relate to the area of this report. I have only investigated back to the turn of the century via the yearly bird reports and searched through the Birds of Hampshire. I know from personal experience of watching a local patch that certain ‘wandering’ species will get seen at some point and some of these are clearly missing from this report. So please, if after reading this report if you know of any additions to the list then get in touch.
