Venturesabroad Winter Scene by Joy Tobin, Bookham Camera Club WINTER 2002 LOCAL NEWS FROM BOOKHAM COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION ISSUE 265 www.bookham.net REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 207429 VENTURES ABROAD On the 27th July 2002, 22 members of the 3rd Bookham Polesden Venture Scout Unit travelled to Interlaken in Switzerland for the unit’s first European summer camp. We set up camp just outside Interlaken and on the shore of the Thunersee, one of the large lakes which gives Interlaken its name. The following day we travelled on the Jungfrau railway up to the Jungfraujoch; the highest station in Europe at 3454m. At the top, we saw the amazing ice palace; a cave carved out of a glacier and containing many fine ice sculptures. There was also the chance to go outside onto the snow, and witness the magnificent view of the summits of the great Jungfrau, Monch and Eiger mountains. Over the next two days, it was the ventures themselves who climbed a mountain. By starting in Kandersteg, home of the International Scout Centre, and arranging to spend the night in two mountain huts, we were able to take all of the first day going up and climbed 1700m to a height of 2837m (9308ft). Towards the end of the climb the walkers had to contend with not only the exhaustion of walking all day with 351b packs in very hot sunshine, but also the reduced amount of oxygen in the air at the high altitude. This meant that every few steps you needed to stop and take breath, so just walking a short distance took ages. Another day was spent on water; firstly pedaloes on the lake and then white water rafting down a mountain river, which was an amazing experience and one of the highlights of the camp.. We were there on Swiss National Day, which meant parades and fireworks in Interlaken in the evening. The last day was spent “moon walking”: high altitude trekking, caving and climbing amongst some amazing terrain. Very soft rock and years of weathering had left the landscape barren and cratered, making it look rather like the surface of the moon. An experienced guide showed us many features and it proved to be a very worthwhile experience. On the way home, we managed to spend some time looking around Zurich before flying back to Gatwick after a week which everyone agreed was a great adventure and thoroughly enjoyed.

This is achieved by Bulletin encouraging organisations with various interests, managing the Old Barn Hall, publishing Bookhams Bulletin four 7IST YEAR ISSUE 265 times a year and organising the annual Village Day and Village Week.

I have enjoyed editing the Bulletin, but I feel it is time to hand over to someone with new ideas. With rapidly advancing technology, a personal DECEMBER computer is now an essential requirement. With a high proportion of our contributors sending their articles by e-mail or on a floppy, the work of the Saturday 7th Royal Marsden editor has changed and has enabled him to detail the layout of the Bulletin, Children’s Cancer Unit Christmas including photographs and drawings. This in turn has allowed the printer Bazaar - Old Barn Hall - 10 - 12 to devote time to upgrading the layout with their graphical expertise, as m idday. evident in the past few years.

As I have said in the article ‘Editing the Bulletin’, Martin Warwick has volunteered to take over as editor, but has asked me to work with him for the next couple of editions. He has been helping me with this one and I am sure he will be introducing his own ideas before long. FEBRUARY 2003 Thank you for your support and encouragement over more than five years.

  • 283 – September 2008 Meetings
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 283 – SEPTEMBER 2008 MEETINGS Wednesday 17 September 2008 – Meeting The Society extends a very warm welcome to this evening’s speaker, BRIAN SCOVELL. He is one of the game’s most experienced writers who has established a respected reputation as a ghost writer for some of the greatest names in the sport as well as a fine author in his own right. During his long career he was the man who wrote columns for such luminaries as Jim Laker, Sir Learie Constantine, Barry Richards and Ken Barrington. He has also written biographies in association with, or on, Laker, Trevor Brooking, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Bobby Robson and Brian Lara. Our speaker is also the only author to be nominated for two British Sports Writers’ awards in the same year; the books concerned were Jim Laker 19 – 90 and England Managers, both published by Tempus. Brian Scovell was born on the Isle of Wight. He left school at the age of fifteen with the ambition of becoming a sports writer. Like many journalists, he struggled early on. He served his apprenticeship with the now defunct Isle of Wight Guardian, before making his way via the Wolverhampton Express and Star, Norwich Evening News, Press Association to the Daily Sketch. He became their cricket correspondent in 1960 and remained in that post until that newspaper’s merger with the Daily Mail. He has since watched a vast number of Test matches and travelled extensively. This is our speaker’s second visit to the Society.

  • The Hamsphire Cricket Society
    THE HAMSPHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 351 – February 2016 MEETINGS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Society’s AGM will be held at Test Valley Golf Club prior to the next meeting on Wednesday 2 March 2016. The AGM will start at 7pm. Any resolutions and nominations for office on the Committee, duly proposed and seconded, should be submitted to our Chairman, Susanne Marlow, by Monday 22 February. An agenda will be available at the meeting. The speaker after the AGM will be Tony Borrington, the former Derbyshire batsman, who went on to pursue a career in education. Wednesday 3 February 2016 – Meeting The Society is proud to welcome James Tomlinson to this evening’s meeting. Both on and off the field, he has become a firm favourite among Hampshire supporters. They have much admired his diligence, whole-heartedness and skill as a left-arm pace bowler, and his bravery with the bat. Statistically, in the modern four-day era since 1993, only Shaun Udal and Dimitri Mascarenhas have taken more than his 366 wickets for Hampshire. He is the county’s leading wicket-taker in the 21st century. The tally could have been considerably higher. In recent years, no Hampshire bowler has beaten the bat more often or had so many catches dropped off him. His reaction to such incidents has always been outwardly stoical; histrionics are not part of his repertoire. He has been a phlegmatic cricketer accepting that the rough and the smooth are part and parcel of a bowler’s life.
