dmiston Parish Newsletter Page Idmiston Parish Memorial Hall - New Plans

In an attempt to make the Hall more available to different groups who may wish shorter time slots, we would like to trial the introduction of a “lunchtime” session to run between 12 and 2pm at a cost of £20. It is hoped that with suitable marketing and possible “word of mouth” we can encourage some new regular clubs to use the hall at this time. We understand that there may be groups at Porton Down in particular who could make use of this facility during the working day, so please get in touch if you would like to discuss this further, or please feel free to pass on my contact details (below).

The plan is to have a number of gardens in each location for viewing on the day with afternoon tea refreshments and possibly a plant sale in the Memorial Hall. It would be great to have a broad cross section of styles, from herbaceous borders to patio pots, bountiful kitchen gardens to wild ower planting any sie or any style.

Mulepackers Country & Western Dance Club

Mulepackers CWDC recently held their big Summer Dance with artist, Ben Thompson. There were 97 of us line dancing and western partner dancing to live music. It was a fantastic evening and we were able to make a good donation from our raffle to the Stars Appeal, Amesbury Ward fund. We are now looking forward to our Autumn Charity dance. In addition to our club nights, we organise social dances regularly so that everyone gets to mix together and practise what we have been learning.

Have you ever thought you would like to dance, but are not sure if you would be able to learn, or you’ve given dancing a go but found it too formal? We are used to having people tell us that they have “two left feet” or that they’re slow to learn, but our emphasis is on having fun, and before you know it, you’ve got the bug. What we do now is give new people some private sessions (for a voluntary donation to our charity) teaching some basic steps and easy dances rst. hat makes it easier to come along to the classes without feeling “dropped in at the deep end”. In fact, recently we have had several people doing our partner dancing in this way and they’ve now joined us on a Monday evening at the hall at 8.30 pm. ie us a ring if youd like to gie it a go.

Our line dancing is 7 to 8.30 on Monday evenings at the hall.Our partner dancing is 8.30 to 10.00 on Monday evenings at the hall.

It was hard work and many found the change from previous campsites, (with showers and toilets), rather a struggle. Their plight was not helped by the weather, which was far from kind. A week can be a long time at camp though and by the end the scouts were getting into the swing of things - perhaps we need to camp for 2 weeks! The programme for the week included shooting, archery, a high ropes course, hiking cooking on open res and een a trip on Swanage ailway. he high ropes activity was particularly impressive, not least because the rain was coming down in buckets at the time and the scouts carried on oblivious. One group was a little more interested when we returned to the campsite and they discovered that poor drainage and heavy rain had created an indoor swimming pool in their tent, but we had a solution and they still managed to get a good night’s sleep. aking inspiration from Vs Pimp my ide our actiity entitled Pimp up Your Leader” made a reappearance on the programme.

dmiston Parish Newsletter Page Bonfires

PLEASE CONSIDER YOUR NEIGHBOURS AND THE ENVIRONMENT IPC receive a lot of complaints from parishioners about bonfires.

Please think about the effects on your neighbours and the surrounding environment and follow these guidelines from Wiltshire Council:

ALTERNATIVE DISPOSAL

arden bonres produce smoke and smells which can annoy neighbours as well as damage the enironment. arden trimmings that are still green and wet can gie o lots of smoke and materials like plastics and rubber create poisonous chemicals when they are burnt. Most garden waste can be easily composted, and larger amounts can either be placed in your reen Bin and taken away proiding you hae arranged a arden Waste ollection or taken to one of the household waste recycling centres in the county.

GUIDELINES

If you must have a bonfire to burn any waste that cannot be composted, then it is advisable to follow these simple guidelines. n Warn your neighbours this gies them an opportunity to close windows and doors remoe washing o the line and they are much less likely to complain n Ideally burn later in the evening when people are less likely to use their gardens n Only burn dry material n Neer burn household rubbish rubber tyres or anything containing plastic foam or paint n Aoid lighting a re in unsuitable weather conditions - smoke hangs in the air on damp still days. f it is too windy smoke blows into neighbours’ gardens and windows and across roads n Avoid burning when air pollution levels in your area are high or very high. You can check air quality at http://www.wiltshireairquality.org.uk/ or on 0800 556677. n eep your re away from trees fences and buildings n Warning Neer use oil petrol or methylated spirits to light a re - you could damage yourself as well as the environment n Neer leae a re unattended or leae it to smoulder - put it out

HOW DO I COMPLAIN ABOUT A BONFIRE?

n here are no byelaws restricting bonres in Wiltshires Area and there are no specic times of day restricting bonres. n oweer if smoke is caused by a bonre is creating a nuisance the council has powers to take action under the proisions of the Enironmental Protection Act . Priate indiiduals can also take action through a agistrates ourt. f a bonre is causing smoke to drift across a road please contact the police. n f you are aected by smoke we would recommend that you discuss it initially with your neighbour as they may not realise that they are causing a problem. Always try to be reasonable, otherwise your discussions may end up in further arguments and create unwanted future neighbour tension. Explain the details of your concern and try and agree a reasonable solution or compromise. n f the situation does not improe then feel free to contact the Enironmental Protection eam.

Our future programme has been re-arranged as follows:

n In October we have a talk on Stonehenge, which I look forward to reporting on later.

In November we have two dates planned.

n On 22 November Wiltshire Farm Foods will provide a talk and tasting afternoon.

POW WOW A chatty time when Brownies and Leaders shared stories about what each of us had been up to during the summer. Lots of us visited family and friends or to went stay with them. A few Brownies travelled abroad, others explored different parts of the UK. Many brought an item or a picture to show.

COMPETITON TIME Thinking caps went on at the beginning of September as we each came up with an idea for a hristmas card with some link to Brownie Adventures. ough drafts in pencil then colour added before embarking on the real thing. Two weeks later all designs were complete, some with felt tip here and there, others done in coloured pencil and een some budding onstables took to their paintbrushes. There were Brownie Elves, Santa at sleepovers, pretty bows on presents refoil decorated hristmas puddings, of course lots of snowballs and snowakes too. All were entered into the irlguiding Wiltshire South hristmas ard ompetition and we eagerly await the outcome of the judging.

SALISBURY REMEMBERS It was great to be able to take part in this fantastic community project. Each Brownie made at least one plastic bottle poppy and in the process learnt how to safely strike a match and light a candle. Hopefully some of us will be able to attend the launch event too.

POTATO FACES A spot of DIY on a potato sounds a bit strange doesn’t it? However it is a great way to learn how to safely use a hammer, a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. Snowy Owl was glad of her DIY experience when it came to describing dierent tool types and their uses including claw versus lump, crosshead vs posidrive and bull- nose versus long nose. Brownie artistic talent was in full swing again as faces or initials emerged using nails and screws of dierent sies and shapes.

COOKIE MONSTER Buard is a dab hand at making delicious cookies however as the picture shows these were not of the blue monster variety and they bite back!

We have spaces for girls aged 7-10 year old who want to have fun and make new friends. If you would like to know more then get in touch with Snowy Owl on 01980 862 662.
