Gazette Issue 63 KENT PETANQUE ASSOCIATION ISSUE No.63 SEPTEMBER 2011 All roads, and petanque players lead west for the an- PONTINSPONTINS————BREANBREAN SANDS nual Inter-regional Championships at Pontins Brean 2011, SOMEWHERE AT THE Sands Somerset, the weekend of 17/18th Septem- END OF THE RAINBOW ber. The ownership of Pontins Brean Sands has changed hands and is under new management, not that you would know, because the new owners have kept all the old atmosphere of Pontins including fun, posters and markings. So….nothing has changed. For those readers without knowledge of this annual petanque knees-up, an explanation. Throughout the sum- mer all Regions/Counties of England run qualifying tri- ples competitions to establish their top teams to repre- sent the Regions at the National Regionals Competition. The weekend of competition is grouped into the follow- ing six separate competitions, all triples matches…… - Championship Division 1—Championship Division 1 Jun- iors—Championship Division 2—Championship Division 2 Juniors—Challenge Cup Division 1—Challenge Cup Divi- sion 2. Kent Teams faired as follows for this year…. Kent 1 finished 4th in the Championship Div.1 Kent Juniors finished 7th in Champ. Div.1 Juniors Kent finished 1st in Challenge Cup Division 1 In a field near bye, gives some indication of the weather for the Brean weekend. Kent 2 were the top team of Challenge Cup Div 1 Nice sheep. Kent 5 were the best team of Championship Div. 1 Top team in Division 1 of the “CHALLENGE COMPETITION” with most wins and points Kent Team ALAN CREGEEN, BRIAN KING, MICHELLE CREGEEN And RICHARD KING KPA GAZETTE Page 1 The Kent Team coming top of Division 1 of the Challenge Competition - Back Row L to R—Alan Cregeen, Brian King, Mags Yates, Trevor Gordon, Mike Capelin, Peter Isles and Charlie Shrimpton—Middle Row L to R—Michelle Cregeen, Diane Bryant, Joyce Nash, Irene Gibbs, Debbie Capelin, and Diane Isles—Front Row L to R— Martin Edwards, Mark Cooter and Richard King There were around 600 players from around England and Wales taking part in the Na- tional Regional Triples Finals. Kent will normally have just over 30 teams from clubs around Kent playing in 5 Regional Triples Qualifiers to establish which teams will represent Kent at Brean Sands. This year the qualifying competitions were held at Tovil Workingmen’s Club, Star Meadow Sports and Social Club, Lordswood Sports Club and two competitions at Hartley Country Club. So the big weekend arrives with most of the Kent players driving down to Somerset in time the quench their thirst from the four hour drive with a jolly good drink on the Fri- day night. The Kent Teams were managed by CORINNE COOTER for the main Kent Team, MARK COOTER managed the Challenge Cup Team and JENNIFER COOTER managed the Juniors. On the Saturday the games started at 8:30 am with all the teams playing seven games, and the last game of one match finishing in the dark at around 8:30 in the evening by the light of mobile phones. Sunday was a bit more leisurely with five games starting at 9 am and finishing around 5:30. It is very impressive to witness 600 players all playing to- gether, all playing in team strip. The weekend is expertly managed by the E.P.A., Mike Pegg and his helpers, including a group from the Isle of Wight who helped layout the terrain. The umpires were Tim Black- moor, John Thatcher and Bob Parker. The overall winners of the Main Competition was the Chiltern Region.

Lordswood P.C. KPA GAZETTE Page 3 Kevin Spillet and Dave Lavelle from Alex Spillet from Meadow P.C. and Jake Colin Senneck and Peter Bryant from Meadow P.C.. Mannering from Lordswood P.C. Hartley Country Club P.C. Was it him...or was it not him. Was it BRIAN STOTE appearing on the “BBC Antiques Road Show” on Sunday night 25th September at Charlecote Warwickshire…...wearing an old BPA black sweat shirt that was worth a lot more cash apparently than the antique Royale boxed tea cup that he proudly presented to the antique expert. The tea cup was an excellent antique with a picture in the bottom, and a very nice box with original wrappings, valued at the measly sum of £40…...must be worth more than that ?As well as being an antique cup holder…...Brian is the Chairman of the EPA Coaching Commission. Bits of a story coming together, not 100% sure of the facts. Recently there was a friendly Petanque match at the Walnut Tree Maid- stone, between a Maidstone Rotarians Team and a Walnut Tree Team. Playing was the Mayor of Maidstone, Brian Mortimer, ex-petanque player associated with Maidstone Clubs and the original Maidstone Winter League, and along with his father, were both one time active members of the S.E.Region, including being founding members of a number of Clubs. Also….It is proposed that the Summer League and the KP.A. combine for a common Annual General Meeting…..and the Mayor of Maidstone, Brian Mortimer might be asked to pre- sent the Trophies. Don’t be disappointed...enrol to play in the Kent Classic at Lordswood Sports & Social Club Sunday 23 October. An excellent International competition for all standards of play...should not be missed. See the KPA web-site for pre-registration details. Heard that the recent competition at Nord Maritime was a success. If you attended and would care to provide a few notes, and maybe a couple of snaps...the Gazette would take pleasure in publication. KPA GAZETTE Page 4 According to eagle eyes Jack Milner, and his trawling round the net…..a Kent success story of April this year has gone unreported in the UK, namely the “Jersey Open” of April this year. The winners of the main event were PAUL COLLINS and JACKIE SELLING of Tovil P.C. and JOHN HINES also of Tovil P.C. was one of the winners of the “Men’s Melee”. A belated well done to the Tovil trio. A select band of players, making just seven triples teams, turned out in the sunshine for the annual Courage Cup Triples competition at Seal’s Under River club at The White Rock on Sunday 11 th September. Fears about the tail end of Hurricane Katya came to nothing and all had a great day and a good competition. Even the White Rock’s land- lord, Frank Scott, played in his first open competition and showed promise making it into the semi-final with Seal’s Howard Sandom and Michael Webster. Eventual finalists Bob Gaywood, Martin Eggleton and Jean-Louis Guiot from Hartley won a close fought match to beat Chris Watkins, Gary Atkinson and Dave Chalkly from Lords- wood. Dave Martin, Chairman of Seal PC , said “ We were rather disappointed with the low turn- out but those who came all said they had a great day and enjoy coming The White Rock. Next year we’ll see whether we can hold the Courage Cup earlier in the season to encour- age more entries to this long standing event which dates back to 1977.” REPORT BY HOWARD SANDOM Mike Pegg convened a meeting at Brean Sands for all the Regional Presidents who were on site. Second and third hand info suggests…...that the meeting was held to inform of a proposal from a reputable holiday tour company (with Petanque experience) to organ- ise next years Regional Triples at another site other than Pontins Brean Sands. The pro- posed new venue will be at Mill-Rythe Hayling Island ( see http://www. mill-rythe.com). The event would be over a weekend “inclusive” of breakfasts and evening meals and eve- ning entertainment. Accommodation would be an option of 4 and 6 birth chalets with a nearby overflow caravan site also available. The location and size of the petanque playing area is not yet known. The “base” cost for the weekend will be around £130 per person, however “actual” costs will be different for the Regions dependent on the amount of subsidies. As a comparison, for Kent players at Brean Sands….. they are subsidised to the value of around £35 per player which covers accommodation only, players then buy all food and drink. Other Re- gions are not subsidised. The proposal is for the event to take place at a similar time of the year. In time….opinions of the Kent players will be sought by the KPA, at which time the exact details of the proposal will be clarified. At this stage…...there would appear to be advantages and disadvantages for both options. KPA GAZETTE Page 5 At Lordswood Sports & Social Club on a nice early autumn day, play- ing under the trees with Lordswood’s own micro-climate. Mick Weston and Eric Hat- field and their helpers had put in some early morning work to pro- vide the very good petanque venue that we have now come to expect. Ryan Rudden manned the bar-b-que with some “buttie” supervision from Mick. This annual competition is intended for those players who entered the Regional Triples Qualifiers but who failed to qualify to play at the National Championships at Brean Sands.

  • The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken(
    ...................... - ..................................... = .................................................................... The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken( By DENNIS BAKER I HE home market was at least six times as valuable as the overseas market during the first half of the eighteenth century. The ratio could have been T much higher and one contemporary estimate even puts it at 32 to ~. Throughout the early modern period the vast bulk of this traffic concerned agri- cultural produce, for in I75o England was still a predominantly agricultural economy. 2 Marketing, nevertheless, remains one of the most neglected aspects of agri- cultural history? There is a dearth of suitable source material. We know much about the management of crops and livestock in the field, little about their journey beyond the farm gate. A thorough exploration of the various outlets leading from farm to consumer is a rare venture. More frequently we seek shelter in some terminological cul-de-sac like 'commercialized agriculture' or 'farming for the market'. Admittedly, in some regions the market outlets were few or fraught with hazards; such, for instance, was the difficult position of those who farmed the Midland clays, ill-drained and intractable. But others, more fortunately placed, could choose from a wide range of marketing possi- bilities; this held true, for example, over much of the eastern and home counties. The farmers of north-east Kent possessed a number of competitive advan- tages, but none more valuable than proximity to the markets both local and in London. This fertile belt of Kent stretches from Rainham in the west to the eastern extremities of Thanet, a distance of about 35 miles; it averages 8 miles or more in width.

CLIFFE 1VIARsllEs.—During excavations for mud for cement- making purposes, in the marsh adjacent to the Nine Elms Cement Works, which are situate on the banks of the Thames about three miles from Cliffe-at-Hoo, and nearly opposite East Tilbury Church on the other side of the river, the workmen cut into several Roman graves, which yielded many interesting objects, all of which came into the hands of the writer, who handed them over to the Roches- ter Museum. The various articles were put aside when found, but unfortunately few details were to be obtained of the number of the graves, or the disposition of the remains discovered in each grave. All that can be done, therefore, is to record them, and furnish the necessary description of the objects as follows, the measure- ments being in inches :— Height. Diameter. 1.

Following the club’s final meeting with the RFU, we both agreed that it is in all our interests to move on from the eye incident. We are now putting a firm line in the sand. Looking positively forward I have some very good things to report. On the playing front we had a very commendable season. This is down to the efforts of new Director of Rugby, Andy Foley and his team. Everyone just wanted to play rugby, after all this is what we are, a rugby club. Andy has exciting plans for next season. The new flood lights have been to the benefit of all those that have been training and we have increased the playing area at the back of the first team pitch for the junior tag-rugby section.

    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 65 1952 THE ROMANO-BRITISH SETTLEMENT AT SPRINGHEAD By W. S. PENN, B.Sc. THE existence of a Romano-British, settlement at Springhead, South- fleet, near Gravesend, has been known for many years, and One Tree Field at Springhead is marked on the Ordnance Survey Map as the site of Vagniacse,1 mentioned in the Itinerary of Antonine, Iter II. In spite of this, no systematic investigation of the site seems to have been conducted, although there must have been sporadic excavations (mainly unrecorded) at intervals over the past fifty years.2 A full discussion of the contention that the site is Vagniacse (and the evidence is not conclusive3) and of other finds in the district does not belong to this summarizing report, but will be considered in the detailed report of the recent excavations to be published later. The Excavations Committee of the Gravesend Historical Society decided to conduct a series of investigations on the site and several trial pits were dug in One Tree Field during the autumn of 1950. Coins, pottery and other finds, including flint footings, indicated a fairly inten- sive fourth-century occupation so that it was decided to carry out as systematic an investigation as possible, considering the limited time available on agricultural land. After much work of this nature it became possible to excavate fully during the 1952 season, through the courtesy of the Tenant, Mr. Bartholomew. The relatively limited amount of Avork so far completed has indicated several well-defined features of the occupation, but it should be stressed that any conclusions are only tentative since a vast area requires to be excavated.
