John, The next issue is :- June 2014 (editor) 3 LETTERS ETC. MOBILITY SCOOTERS These mobility scooters have come in for some adverse comments in both the local and national press recently. Here in Valley Park in my opinion it is not a major problem on its own but added to the attitude of some of the other walkway users (cyclists) it can mean pedestrians need eyes in the back of their head. For those who are unfortunate to have lost their mobility it is a lifeline to getting out and about. The drawback is that it would appear that some of the users forget that is like any other machine and when in collision can cause much damage to human body parts. We do not need more regulation just some thought for everyone else. Name & Address supplied ADVANCE NOTICE As in keeping with the past the Valley Park Community Centre will be used as one of the Polling Stations for the forthcoming EU Elections. This will mean that the main hall at the centre will not be available for the regular users on Thursday 22nd May. The meeting rooms 1 & 2 will still be in use as usual on that day. The VPCA are sorry to our regular users for any inconvenience caused by this. HELP TO DELIVER THE VALLEY PARK VOICE Our regular deliverer Julia who has tirelessly delivered the VP Voice in Catmint Close for many years will shortly be stepping down from this role. We are looking for a new volunteer to take over. What it entails is to drop off a copy of the Voice through letterboxes in Catmint Close (59 houses) at the beginning of each month. (Not January or August). If you live in Catmint Close or close by, and are able to spare 20 minutes once a month to deliver this useful local community magazine then please contact John (editor) by email at [email protected] or telephone on 02380 263956. 4 NOTICES ETC. VPCA Notice The caretaker position at the Valley Park Community centre has now been filled. Mr Steven Wall will start his duties in May and can be contacted via the Centre office. CARS STOLEN IN BURGLARIES Police are advising people not to leave vehicle keys in obvious places in their homes after two recent burglaries where cars have been stolen. It did not happen in Valley Park but in an area not too far away. Burglars broke into the home through a patio door. They then stole a set of car keys before using them to steal a Mercedes CLK 220 parked on the road outside. The vehicle is worth a considerable sum of money. Another similar burglary took place overnight and the thieves stole the key cars for an Audi A6 from the home and then took the vehicle from the drive. Officers are advising residents to make sure keys are hidden away and also to make sure they lock doors and windows at night and also double lock UPVC doors. Knightwood & St.Francis School Holidays Summer Half Term Holiday Break up on Friday 23rd May, Back on Monday 2nd June Summer Term finishes on Wednesday 23rd July Autumn Term starts on Tuesday 2nd September Autumn Half Term Holiday Break up on Friday 24th October, Back on Monday 3rd November Christmas Holiday Break up on Friday 19th December, back on Monday 5th January 2015 For all school holidays visit web site: www.hants.gov.uk/education/schools/holidays.php also www.knightwood.hants.sch.uk & www.stfrancisceprimary.co.uk/ 5 DIAL-A-RIDE Friends of the Parks May task is a return to Skys Wood copse to remove some more of the invasive Sycamore on Sunday 11th May. People will remember being fascinated by the “helicopter” seed pods of the Sycamore, which, if left unchecked will establish thickets of saplings which then outcompete other tree and shrub species to form a dense canopy excluding light from the woodland understory. This then inhibits germination of other seeds, including those of native trees. This could lead to an alteration in the established woodland habitat affecting species dependent on native trees and other vegetation. On Sunday 8th June we will be assisting Test Valley countryside Officers to repair the boardwalk running across Little covert. All are welcome to attend the above events at which all tools, gloves, training and refreshments will be provided.

  • The Middleton Estate
    WELCOME TO THE MIDDLETON ESTATE Dear Angler, Welcome to the Middleton Estate! By now I hope you are settled and are relaxing with a cup of coffee. Here is a summary of the fishing and what to expect; have a lovely day. THE RIVER TEST The River Test has a total length of 40 miles and flows through the Hampshire downlands from its source near Overton, 6 miles to the west of Basingstoke, to the sea at the head of Southampton Water. The river rises in the village of Ashe, and flows west through the villages of Overton, Laverstoke, and the town of Whitchurch, before joining with the Bourne Rivulet at Testbourne and turning into a more southerly direction. It then flows through the villages of Longparish and Middleton to Wherwell and Chilbolton, where the Rivers Dever and Anton contribute to the flow. From Chilbolton the river flows through the villages of Leckford, Longstock, Stockbridge and Houghton to Mottisfont and Kimbridge, where the River Dun joins the flow. From here the village of Timsbury is passed, then through the grounds of Roke Manor before reaching the town of Romsey. On the western edge of Romsey, Sadler's Mill, an 18th Century watermill, sits astride the River Test. South of Romsey, the river flows past the country house of Broadlands, past Nursling that was once the site of a Roman bridge, and between Totton and Redbridge. Here the river is joined by the River Blackwater and soon becomes tidal, widening out into a considerable estuary that is lined on its northern bank by the container terminals and quays of the Port of Southampton.

    07 Cunliffe 1686 13/11/09 13:48 Page 161 ALBERT RECKITT ARCHAEOLOGICAL LECTURE Continuity and Change in a Wessex Landscape BARRY CUNLIFFE Fellow of the Academy THE WESSEX LANDSCAPE with which we are concerned is an area of some 450 sq km of chalkland situated in the centre of the chalk uplands of southern Britain (Fig. 1). Its central position gives it a special character. It is, above all, a route node where the east–west ridgeways from the North Downs, the South Downs, Cranborne Chase and the Marlborough Downs converge with the north–south river routes, the Avon and the Test, which provide access, through the forests and heathlands of the Hampshire Basin, to the waters of the Solent beyond. But there is an ambivalence about the region. While open to influences from all direc- tions, this very openness endowed it with a strategic significance well understood by those who, in the past, wished to control the movements of peoples and commodities. As we will argue below, the region became a frontier zone for much of the latter part of the first millennium BC, dividing east from west. This block of downland was chosen for detailed study partly because of its commanding position in the landscape of central southern Britain but also because previous archaeological activity has provided an exten- sive database invaluable in developing a detailed research strategy. Most notable among the earlier work were the pre-war excavations of the Cunningtons and J. F. S. Stone focusing on Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements in eastern Wiltshire and the campaign of hillfort excavations Read at the Academy 23 October 2008.
