  • Newbury Closed Championships Report
    NEWBURY CLOSED CHAMPIONSHIPS REPORT The biggest and best entry for several years from youngsters across West Berkshire took part in the Newbury Junior Table Tennis Championships held at Kennet Leisure Centre this weekend. The blue ribbon event the under 17 singles was won by top seed Sam Ricks from Pamber Heath who defeated Thatcham's Teifon Chamberlain the defending champion in the final. The standard of play was very high with both boys attacking well but Sam's greater consistancy saw him clinch the title in three straight games. The girls singles was won by Kennet School's Shannon Hillier who used her forehand topspin to great effect to beat Juno Randall from Tutts Clump. The Under 15 singles event was a family affair as Hermitage's Joseph Cornmell beat his younger brother Robert in the final. Robert had reached the final after squeezing past Aldermaston's Keiron Warre in five games in the semi. Robert Cornmell made up for this in the Under 13 singles as he retained the cup with Newbury's Tom Lewis the runner up. In the Under 11's Hungerford's Tom Kelly who practices at Inkpen Table Tennis Club emerged as the victor with Thatcham's Ben Haines the runner up. The doubles events were closely contested and there was an upset in the final of the junior doubles when Basingstoke's Michael Jones combined with Keiron Warre to defeat the favourites Sam Ricks and Sam Goodyer in five games after being 2 - 1 down. Warre also picked up the Langley Cup awarded by the tournament organiser for his positive attitude during the day.

  • West Berkshire
    West Berkshire Personal Details: Name: Dominic Boeck E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for West Berkshire Council Proposed Burghfield & Mortimer Ward Introduction I am responding in my capacity as ward member for Aldermaston at West Berkshire Council to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England draft recommendations for new ward boundaries across West Berkshire. LGBCE Draft Recommendations I am content with the proposal that the number of members elected to West Berkshire Council is reduced from 52 to 43. I consider though that the creation of three member wards, especially in the rural parts of the district, will diminish the effectiveness of representation presently enjoyed by residents and will not meet LGBCE’s expectations that a good pattern of wards will reflect community interests and identities and is based on strong, easily identifiable boundaries . The proposed pattern, especially in areas covered by such vast wards as the proposed Aldermaston and Bucklebury where it will be extremely difficult for members to be familiar with the unique local aspects and challenges across so many parishes, will not help the council deliver effective and convenient local government. Neither will the creation of large wards which combine substantial areas and population in both rural and suburban communities, such as Thatcham Central and Crookham and as Greenham which will bring its northern-most boundary into the heart of Newbury. Consultation response WBCA asks that LGBCE reconsiders its draft recommendations to make changes to the following wards, as suggested: • Aldermaston and Bucklebury • Hungerford and Kintbury • Basildon and Compton • Wash Common, Newbury Central and Greenham • Thatcham Central and Crookham • Purley and Tilehurst At the moment, Aldermaston ward consists of 5 parishes, three of which have monthly meetings, one has meetings every two months and one has two meetings a year.

  • Solent Thames Berkshire Mesolithic Draft
    Thames and Solent Research Framework The Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic of Berkshire Dr Catherine Chisham, Wessex Archaeology July 2006 1. Chronology Berkshire, and in particular the middle Kennet Valley, is known for its high concentration of Upper Palaeolithic to Early Mesolithic remains. The Final Upper Palaeolithic is strongly represented, with sites typified by assemblages with large backed blades, some showing heavy edge-damage or “bruising”, known as long blades or bruised blades (Barton 1986, 1989, 1991). Long blade sites include Avington VI (Froom 1970, 2005; Barton and Froom 1986; Barton 1989; Barton et al. 1998), Wawcott XII (Froom 1970, 2005) and Crown Acres (Campbell 1977; Barton 1986; Froom 2005). Mesolithic material has been found in the vicinity of all three, but was stratified only at Avington, where a Late Mesolithic horizon was found above the Palaeolithic. There is no known site in the Kennet Valley with a stratified sequence of Upper Palaeolithic to Early Mesolithic material nor transitional material specifically identified. However, there is some slight evidence for a stratigraphic and chronological split at Crown Acres, on the basis of past descriptions and the patination of liths characteristic of both periods, Barton (1986, p84) suggested that while both assemblages underlay the peat, the earlier material came from sandy marl, which at Thatcham, stratigraphically underlies the Mesolithic levels. The only absolute date for Upper Palaeolithic activity in Berkshire is for Avington VI, with an optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) date for the occupation horizon of 10,250±1,100 (Ox-1523b) (Barton et al. 1998). Dating of the Mesolithic of Berkshire has been focussed on a few large sites, and is summarised in [Table #1] , with a range from 10,365±170 BP (10,900-9,700 cal BC, Q-659, Wymer 1962) at Thatcham III to 5260±130 BP (4360-3780 cal BC, BM-449, Froom 1972) at Wawcott (Lobb and Rose 1996).
