Basingstoke & Deane Over 55s Forum NEWSLETTER – NOVEMBER 2018 Welcome to your final Newsletter of 2018; it's hard to believe that another year has almost gone! Unfortunately, our Newsletter editor, Marian, is unwell so Gerald and I have had to step into the breach. I did think the letter might be shorter than usual but I am pleased to say that we have come up with lots of information which we hope you will find useful. I hope you will all enjoy reading the Newsletter and that you will benefit from some of the information. Just a reminder that this is YOUR Newsletter and we do welcome any articles, poems, items of interest or even pictures that you think are interesting or amusing. We hope that you all enjoy our varied activities and find the Open Forum meetings informative and enjoyable. If there is a particular subject or issue you would like to be addressed, please let us know. We represent all the older people in the community, whether they are members or not, so please let us know if there is a particular issue you would like us to raise with the relevant authority. We still welcome visitors to our meetings but have to ask them to wait to be seated until after the members who are attending are settled. For health and safety reasons, we have to comply with the capacity number for the Carnival Hall. As you know, we had to place a limit on the number of members and, for the reasons explained, we will have to continue this limit in 2019. By the end of January there will be vacancies as we will know how many members have not renewed their membership. Just a reminder that, with Christmas rapidly approaching, the town is very busy so make sure you have your bags secured and go inside your bank to use the cash machines, it is much safer. Once again, we are appealing for members to join the committee. None of us are getting any younger and having additional support in our activities such as Minute taking and "under studying" other roles will help keep the Forum going in future years. If you would like to know more about what is involved, please speak to Graham or Gerald, we will be only too happy to explain what we do. MEMBERSHIP Don't forget that, if you have not already done so, you should renew your membership subscription by the end of January or your name will be deleted so that those on the waiting list may be offered a place. Also, if your membership has expired, it will not be entered into our monthly free prize draws. As the Forum's finances are still on a very sound footing we have not only been able to keep the subscription at £6 for a further year but have again reduced the fee to £5 for those members who renew before the end of December 2018. We are also happy to confirm that we will again offer a FREE coach trip in 2019 to all those members who had paid for 3 or more trips in 2018. For those members, who pay by cheque, it would be appreciated if you ensure it is only for membership and any payment for a trip or trips is made on a separate cheque. This does help with our accounts and makes life easier for our auditor. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2018 Once again, the AGM will take place at the February meeting so that our accounts will be up to date and the annual audit completed by our independent auditor. Copies of the Annual 1 Reports and Accounts will be sent to all members and will be formally presented to members at the meeting. FLU JAB REMNDER Marian did mention in our last Newsletter about booking your appointment for the flu jab and this is just a reminder for those of you who have not yet had it done. OCTOBER OPEN FORUM A summary of the October Open Forum meeting is attached at the back of this Newsletter. WELFARE & DONATIONS We have sent "Get Well" cards to Mary New - Douglas Wilson - Brian Stroud - Pat Neal - Marian Wilson - Rosa Barker - Wendy Green - Jean Davis - Jane Bechelet and Megan Lewis. Sympathy cards have been sent to the families of Jan Stones (several members of the Forum attended Jan Stones' cremation) - Ted Blackall and Sid Penney. Members have come back to Gerald to say that this is a wonderful idea and much appreciated by all those receiving cards. LINE DANCING You will recall the Forum's Line Dancing sessions had to be cancelled due to lack of support. Well, Gerald is pleased to report that the instructor who took our sessions has now started her own sessions at the Carnival Hall on Wednesdays, from 2pm to 3pm, at a cost £5.00 per session. If you are interested, please contact Sue Hughes on 01256 331046.

These are gentle exercises, suitable for all over 55s, so if you are interested, why not come along and give it a try. Cost to Members £2.50 and £3.50 to Non Members, which is really great value.

Since the last Open Forum meeting, it has been announced that tickets were going on sale for the "Dolly Parton 9 to 5 Musical". Gerald purchased tickets for the 19th June 2019 , and has tried to contact as many members as possible to advertise this Musical. If you are interested in going to the musical, please let Gerald know and he will try and get more tickets for another date. The price is £67.50 which includes all coach travel, show ticket and a 2 course Carvery Lunch at the Strand Palace Hotel. Gerald spoke to Richard Trueman (Truemans Coaches) recently who stated that he is purchasing 3 new coaches in early 2019 to replace the 2 old green and 1 blue coaches. They are the same model as the green and blue coaches but bring his fleet up to date. HAMPSHIRE HOSPITALS FOUNDATION TRUST Gerald attended a Council of Governor meeting at Andover on the 13th November 2018 and the subject was raised about the general public being members of the HHFT.

There is also a newsletter sent to you several times throughout the year, keeping you informed of what is going on etc . It is FREE. If you wish to join, ask Gerald for an application form, which he will gladly get or send to you He will also have forms with him at our December Open Forum meeting.

    Basingstoke Inns, Breweries and Public Houses 1600 - 2015

    BASINGSTOKE INNS, BREWERIES AND PUBLIC HOUSES 1600 - 2015 Basingstoke Inns 1600 – 1850 Basingstoke was an important trading centre and staging post from medieval times until the 19th century. Its position on the junction of the Great Western Road between London and the West Country and the roads from Portsmouth and Southampton to the North, meant that it needed several great inns to cater for the travellers, traders and customers who came to the town. The inns of Basingstoke provided overnight accommodation for those who were journeying over long distances, hospitality for those who came from afar to trade in cloth, and refreshment for the farmers and others who visited the weekly markets. There were many more ale houses which were smaller and probably served a more local clientele In 1622 a record of the amount of malt that was brewed in Basingstoke listed five inns - the Angel, the Bell, the Chequers, the George and the Maidenhead - and 15 alehouses that were brewing beer.1 In 1636, the Bell, Maidenhead and George were recorded in a London publication.2 The landlord of the Bell was John Crosse who died in 1625 in which year the Bell had seven main bedrooms, along with four other rooms which had beds in them, including the servants’ chamber. His goods included 43 oz of silver plate as well as pewter weighing 234 lb.3 In 1631, Thomas Miles, tapster of the Bell, paid a shilling to sit in the Tapster’s Seat in the Gallery of St Michael’s Church.4 The Bell was where the marquis of Winchester was kept after his defeat at the siege of Basing House before being moved to the Tower of London.

  • Public Health and Public Services

    Public Health and Public Services

    PUBLIC HEALTH AND PUBLIC SERVICES The Middle Ages and Early Modern Period In medieval and early modern Basingstoke, as elsewhere, the role of local government was extremely limited. The governing courts carried out a variety of roles, mainly concerned with regulating anti-social activities. Many were concerned with the smooth running of commerce, on which the everyday life of a town depended, dealing with small-scale debts, regulating the times and context of sales, the alehouse drinking hours, or dealing with violence.1 There were times when the court intervened in the condition of the roads, but not to take up general maintenance. Periodically, someone was presented for blocking the road with timber, refuse or even with a dead horse, or for having an adjacent ditch that was blocked and overflowing. Occasionally the state of a road meant that the whole tithing was ordered to repair it as with the road from Coppid bridge to the market in 1550.2 The steep slope up Church Street to the market place frequently became muddy during wet spells. When a causeway was built (probably for pedestrians), it was financed by a wealthy merchant, Sir James Deane, rather than the burgesses.3 Various people were given responsibility for the maintenance of the two bridges over the Loddon. Occasionally the tithing, the bailiffs, or an individual was required to repair one of the bridges as in 1560 and 1561.4 The river was both a natural source of water and used for drainage and refuse disposal. This led to regulations limiting the time in which dyers and leather workers could dump their effluent, restricting its use to the evening or the night time.5 In 1547, it resulted in the demand for the vicar to remove his latrine, which he built over the stream, ‘which is a great nuisance to all those who washed there’.6 Again this involved regulation rather than investment.
