There is a variety of teas available as well as hot chocolate and all it costs is £1.00 per cup or £2.00 per mug.

Catch up with all the latest details of forthcoming events as well.

Acupuncture is a healthcare system based on ancient principles that go back nearly two thou- sand years. It looks at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance – the overall aim of acupuncture is to restore the body’s equilibrium. Ros explained how acupuncturists are trained to use subtle diagnostic techniques when treating their patients; understand that physical, emotional and mental health are interdependent and that each patient is unique. Two people with the same western diagnosis may well receive different acupuncture treat- ments. Traditional acupuncturists believe that underlying principle of treatment is that illness and pain occur when the body’s ‘qi’ (pronounced ‘chee’ i.e. vital energy) cannot flow freely and that by inserting ultra fine needles into specific acupuncture points they seek to re- establish the free flow of ‘qi’ to restore balance and trigger the body’s natural healing re- sponse. Ros gave us an interesting resume of her life leading to her eventually becoming a practising acupuncturist..... so much studying and so many qualifications. Acupuncture can be used to help many conditions (from joint pain, anxiety, migraines etc.) and can be highly effective but Ros was keen to stress that it was not a replacement for western medicine. It was obvious from her talk that Ros was passionate about her work and thoroughly enjoyed her every mi- nute of it. She certainly inspired many of us and I can see several members seeking her advice and treatment for their health problems. Our next meeting is on Wednesday 4th March at 7.45 in the village hall when our speaker will be Jim Gunter who will be giving a talk on ‘The Ridgeway’. Ladies why not come and join us? The Fate of the Fête . is in your hands! An Open Meeting will be held at 8.00pm at The Crown Inn on Tuesday, 24th March to discuss the future of the Village Fête. In June last year, we witnessed the 75th Anniversary the D Day Invasion. A number of those who have been heavily involved in the Village Fete were born around then and, as our ‘Dad’s Army’, they wish to retire! Basically, the Fête needs a new Team Please do come to the meeting to hear what is involved! The key is just a few people prepared to take over the running of one element such as the Tea Tent, the Bar and BBQ, the Publicity, the Games and Activities, the Raffle and the erection and dismantling of the site. The retiring Fête Team have compiled a booklet that explains how recent Fêtes have been organised and they would be very willing to help the new Team, particularly in the first year. All the equipment is available in storage. New ideas and changes by the new Team would be welcomed and appreciated.

In case you don’t know, I’m Kate Marshall and I write this regular monthly BHVH update. The request tells me several things: 1. It seems you don't know who is on the BHVH committee to ask us directly. 2. You may not know about the BHVH website; all the information is there. Some of you still prefer paper, and that’s fine, it’s all here in the Local News too. The E-Newsletter Every month I send out a BHVH e-newsletter. The information in it is more up to date than the Local News. When the Parish Council give me information such as road closures, I include this in the e-newsletter too. If you’re already on the list, if you don’t have [email protected] in your address list, the emails may be going to your junk folder. If you haven’t asked us to send it to you and you’d like us to, email me at [email protected] and I’ll add you to the list. The Website broadhinton.org.uk Is maintained, edited and administered by the Broad Hinton Village Hall trustee committee.

  • Open Downland

    Open Downland

    8. LANDSCAPE TYPE 1: OPEN DOWNLAND Location and Boundaries 8.1. The landscape type encompasses a number of distinct downland blocks from the Marlborough Downs (1A) and Horton Down (1C) in the west running through to the Lambourn Downs (1B) and Blewbury Downs (1D) in the east. Boundaries are mainly defined by topography and the Upper Chalk geology, and in the north relate to the top of the Scarp (landscape type 5). To the south, the edge of the chalk similarly forms a distinct boundary. Overview The Open Downlands are the remote heart and core of the North Wessex Downs, with the dramatic landscapes created by the underlying chalk rocks being one of the defining features of the AONB. The subtle curves and undulations of the landform are revealed by the uniform clothing of cropped grass or cereals creating a landscape with a simple and elemental quality, accentuated by vast skies. The open, expansive views are punctuated by distinctive beech clumps crowning the downland summits, forming prominent and highly visible landmarks. Sparsely populated, the downlands possess a strong sense remoteness and isolation. Predominantly in arable cultivation these are landscapes of great seasonal variation, with muted browns and greys of the chalk and flinty soils in the ploughed autumn fields, giving way to fresh greens of the emerging crops in winter and spring and sweeping yellows and golds of summer. The characteristic close-cropped springy downland turf of the surviving herb-rich chalk grassland provides an important habitat and this landscape type contains the largest areas of designated chalk grassland in the AONB, with 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
