Dear Lyndhurst, Bank, Emery Down, Minstead, Brook, Bramshaw, Newtown & surrounding villages,
Welcome...
The Lyndhurst Directory Edition 54
Telephone:
We had such a good time at the Bournemouth Air Show at the end of August! Hayden very excitedly told Nellie (now off the road totally after her really unfortunate accident) all about it, so do have a read. The Red Arrows pilots are so skilled. Goodness knows how Nellie would have reacted had she been able to meet them! Daichi, the Dashing Dood, the new Hampshire Publications Campervan should be with us soon and we are really looking forward to him taking us out again! Watch this space as they say‌
Email:
Happy Halloween to everyone. May you trick or treat and not overdose on sweets!

Wildlife News
Free Will writing service for local wildlife lovers! Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust’s Will for Wildlife month is back this autumn and a number of local solicitors will be offering a free or reduced cost Will writing service to members and supporters. Trust staff member Steph Watson said, “I am the Fundraising Officer here at the Wildlife Trust and embarrassingly I don’t yet have a Will. I am not alone though. In fact almost 60% of people in the UK do not have a Will. If I die without one, I will have no say in who receives what from my estate. I can’t leave any of my loved ones a final gift, or pass on the few bits and pieces I have inherited. For example I have a brooch from my grandmother; it isn’t valuable but I wore it at my wedding and I know I would like to pass it on. “Personally I think that writing a Will can be a rather daunting task and it’s easy to put it off as other day-to-day jobs take priority. That said, working in the sector that I do I am aware that it is an important task that one should put aside time to. It will give me a chance to think about the future, how I might like to help family and friends and even to consider what sort of world I want for my loved ones. “Working as a fundraiser I also understand just how important legacy gifts are to charities. I have seen the amazing work that Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust has been able to achieve which simply would not have been possible without legacies. Nature reserves like Sandown Meadows on the Isle of Wight and Chappetts
Touching nature
Photo: Matthew Roberts
Copse in the Meon Valley might not exist at all and much of our essential conservation work would not have been possible. “The charities I support now are all important to me. When I do make my Will, I like to think I will leave a gift to them too. This is why I am thinking of taking part in the Will for wildlife scheme this October. It will be my way of investing in the sort of world I hope my family and future generations will be able to enjoy. After all, and to slightly rephrase the original Greek proverb, ‘A society grows great when people plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in’.” If you are interested in finding out more about leaving a legacy to local wildlife, or the Will writing offer then please contact Steph on Steph.Watson@ hiwwt.org.uk or look online at: www.hiwwt.org.uk/WillForWildlife

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST.

If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Lyndhurst area and
manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

The New Forest Centre has received an important collection relating to the history of the New Forest thanks to the family of a long line of New Forest Verderers, George Briscoe Eyre. The Crosthwaite-Eyre archive contains an extensive collection of deeds and estate records, including hugely significant correspondence of George Briscoe Eyre, a key figure in the struggle to save the New Forest from enclosure. Briscoe Eyre fought for the 1877 Act or ‘Commoners’ Charter’, which protected Commoners’ rights and reconstituted the court of Verderers. Briscoe Eyre topped the poll in the first ever Verderers election, whilst his daughter Dorothy became the first female member of the Court. Other material in the archive includes the cash books of George Eyre who purchased Warrens estate in 1789 and had a new house built there in 1800-1802. The books detail various aspects of his life including travelling, dress and housekeeping. There are also papers and photographs relating to cattle breeding and archives from Eyre and Spottiswood, Her Majesty’s printers, which was the family business for over 200 years. ‘Comprising over 50 boxes of material, this will be a large job in terms of conservation, cataloguing and ultimately digitising where possible to make it publicly available,’ said Ecademy Project Officer Dr Katharine Walker, who is based in the Christopher Tower Reference Library at the New Forest Centre and will be cataloguing the archive with help
from volunteers. ‘We are seeking grants to help with this process and are grateful for the initial contribution by the Crosthwaite Eyre family.’ Oliver Crosthwaite-Eyre, who served as Official Verderer for nine years and is Chairman of the New Forest National Park Authority said: “I’m so pleased that this archive is now in safe keeping at the Christopher Tower Reference Library at the New Forest Centre and is being expertly cared for. This means that the collection will be accessible to the public in perpetuity, as a valuable historical resource, rather than being locked away at home.”
Oliver Crosthwaite-Eyre and Dr Kath Walker examine some of the documents from the Crosthwaite-Eyre Archive

Pigs: It’s Pannage Time!
During the autumn months, it’s not an uncommon sight to see pigs roaming the forest floor. The reason for this is one of pannage! Pannage is the practice of releasing domestic pigs into a forest (also known as ‘Common of mast’), and goes all the way back to the time of William the Conqueror, who founded The New Forest in 1079. The pigs are released onto the forest to eat fallen acorns, beechmast, chestnuts and other nuts; green acorns in particular are poisonous to the New Forest ponies and cattle which roam the forest the majority of the year. Up to 600 pigs and piglets will work their way through the forest eating the acorns and nuts from the forest floor. It is the only time of year that the pigs are allowed to ‘roam’ the open forest, the rest of the time they are kept in their smallholdings by the commoners. In the 19th century the number of pigs released for pannage was as high as 6,000. Pannage is no longer carried out in many areas of the country but can still be observed every year here in the New Forest National Park. Pannage lasts for a minimum of 60 days and is vital because acorns are poisonous in large quantities to cattle and ponies and can lead to cholic. Pigs however are believed to spit out the toxic skins and enjoy eating the acorns.
You can usually find the pigs roaming the forest floors from around the third week in September, or whenever the acorns begin to drop from the beautiful oak and beech trees. The exact Pannage dates are decided by the New Forest Verderers and the Forestry Commission based on seasonal variations. This years Pannage is due to take place between 10th September 2018 and 11th November 2018. During times of exceptional acorn falls, the pannage season is usually extended by the Verderers. New Forest pigs must also be fitted with a ring through their nose which still enables them to forage through leaf litter and surface vegetation but stops them from rooting into the ground with their snouts causing damage to the Forest. Some of the different breeds of pig that you can find out on the New Forest include: Tamworth, Gloucestershire Old Spot, the British Saddleback and the Wessex Saddleback. There isn’t a specific breed of New Forest pig. During the pannage season also keep a look out for the local artisan bakeries, farm shops and shops that sell piggy-shaped biscuits to celebrate this most ancient of New Forest practices.

Wills, Estate Planning and Lasting Power of Attorneys We discuss legal professionals’ and the benefits of home visits to clients. We are often asked what is the advantage of using a member of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (SWW) over a more conventional solicitor? There are many good reasons. Members of SWW are trained specialists in the field of will writing and estate planning. All are fully insured, regulated and adhere to the SWW code of practice. After all if you contracted a serious illness you wouldn’t be treated by your GP you would be referred to a specialist. The same applies when you are deciding how best to manage all the things you have worked so hard for during your lifetime. Will writers also provide clients with convenience by attending them in their own home, more often than not at evenings and weekends when both parties (if a couple) can be available.
The SWW is coming up to its 25th anniversary and has always stressed to its members the importance of dealing with vulnerable, elderly and single clients in their own home. Taking instructions in the privacy and seclusion of the client’s home is not only about convenience. Without such a service many people who need a Will and Lasting Power of Attorney’s would go without if they were housebound, elderly or frail.. As a member of The Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners, Dorset Wills has a totally transparent pricing policy. We offer various packages to make the whole process of getting your affairs in order both simple and cost effective. It is estimated that 67 % of people in the UK do not have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney’s in place. With almost 1 million people living with dementia and the total growing yearly, perhaps now is the time to call Dorset Wills on 01202 065953.
Do you want to protect your family and loved ones? Probably the most important documents you will ever own. Wills & Power of Attorneys - £119.99 each

The Adventures of Nellie
The Hampshire Publications Camper Van Hayden went to see Nellie, The Hampshire Publications Campervan who had an accident a few months ago. She is now at the Old Van’s Home and like all good Grandparents she was keen to find out what her 14 year old ‘grandson’ had been up to over the summer. Hayden was very excited to tell her… “Well Nellie, I got to interview Red 10 at the Bournemouth Air Show!” He exclaimed with a big grin, nearly as big as Nellie’s silver shine. “I got to do this because I was asked by the Blue Skies Team. Blue Skies is a programme to help young people with their communication and leadership skills organised by the Jon Egging Trust. The Blue Skies Programme has helped me build up my confidence.” Hayden continued, “Before I was shy in asking people things, but now I have more self-confidence to talk to people: even those I don’t know, like Red 10!” The interview went like this… Hayden - What is your role within the Red Arrows Team? Adam (Red 10) - I’m the supervisor of the team. In the winter workout period I am the supervisor of the practices, looking at the display patterns and liaising with the authorities about the displays we are putting together. During the summer display season, I
Hayden gets interviewed himself
Hayden and Squadron Leader Adam Collins am on the road with the team flying the spare aircraft and then supervising the displays and commentating about the displays. Hayden - What motivated you to work with the Red Arrows? Adam - It’s a unique opportunity and a unique job that when the opportunity came to apply for it, I couldn’t really turn it down. When the Red 10 job came up it was something that really appealed to me. That is why I am doing it. Hayden - What’s the best thing about being a Red Arrow? Adam - It is such a variety of things that we do. We have had such good weather this year, so we have done lots of full shows. I love meeting the public (like you to be honest) and the commentary. It is an honour to be the face of the RAF and also representing Great Britain when we go overseas. It is a unique job. Hayden - What is most challenging thing about being a Red? Adam - The variety, as we are constantly going from one thing to another. This weekend for example we have 5 or 6 Displays up and down the country so we are on a very tight timeline between displays. We do PR and media bits in between and it is really finding that balance
To advertise in The Lyndhurst Directory, please call: 023 8065 9309
27 to do everything to the standards that we expect of ourselves, being able to switch from task to task and then to focus on it. It is quite tiring, you just have to manage that carefully, but really the best bits are the hardest bits as well. It really is one of the roles that is unique, you are always working hard, but it is always rewarding. Hayden – What has been your favourite time with the team? Adam – This is my first season so the whole season for me has been amazing and I shadowed my previous predecessor for couple of months last season. But really going to events like this, it is the reaction of the crowd when the jets arrive, and we start the display. It is that feedback from the crowd that is the real buzz. Hayden - What would you say to someone aspiring to be a Red Arrow pilot? Adam - I’d say to them that we all started somewhere. One of the aims of our RAF 100 this year is to inspire the next generation and really with our Shows that is what we are trying to do. All of us at the Red Arrows were at school once. We went to college or university, we did exams, we were doing revision and that kind of thing and it really is a step by step approach to then join the Air Force and go through flying training and ultimately join the Red Arrows, so my message really would be just to work hard and take it one step at a time. We all made it, so there is no reason why anyone else can’t!
Hayden – For my last question, what would you say to a young person who is struggling, to be the best they can be? Adam – Really it is that message that we have all started somewhere, we have all struggled at some point, be it through school or through education or going along through training and flying training. Keep persevering, take it one step at a time and all of sudden through struggling through something it becomes a great success. You are not going to get there instantly, so it is just working your way through it and having the right attitude, working hard and then eventually you will get there. Thank you. Great to meet you! Hayden turned back to Nellie, “Once I interviewed Red 10, I then got interviewed on the interview, by Bournemouth Air TV! It was quite a surprise. It made me really use all the skills I have learned from Blue Skies and I think I did ok, considering I wasn’t warned! Finally, I also got to meet the rest of the Red Arrows and other display teams. “I even had my photo taken with the pretty Wingwalkers (Nellie raised her wiper), as well as the Tiger’s Parachute Display Team from the British Army, Sally B’s pilots, the stunt pilot Rich Goodwin, the Strikemaster Pair and the new Team Raven were all there. How exciting was all that!” Nellie was super impressed with Hayden’s recitings and she hopes you had a great summer too! By Debbie Corney

Community News
New Forest Art Society News The New Forest Art Society has once again enjoyed hosting their annual summer exhibition at Lyndhurst Community Centre. The exhibition subcommittee, under the leadership of Alli Goddard, Vice Chair of the Society, did a sterling job in organising the exhibition and along with other members, managed the hanging of nearly 200 framed paintings and the display of unframed work, miniatures, 3D works and many greeting cards. The diversity and quality of the art for sale was frequently commented upon. The society aims to be inclusive and therefore has artists who work across the spectrum of art styles and mediums; all to a very high standard.
The private view, on the first Saturday evening, was a very warm affair with many members, family, friends and invited guests having an early opportunity to view and purchase art works. The Society was delighted to welcome Clare Mitchell, Curator of Art at Southampton City Art Gallery, to open the exhibition. Clare’s choice of best in show went to Julie Walker for ‘Old Friends’. The exhibition subcommittee’s choice went to Sandy Poynter for ‘On the Turn’. And the coveted public choice went to Shandy Simmons for ‘Sunset on the Ganges’.
Lyndhurst footfall through the exhibition was good and the society is very pleased with the sales, which validates our members’ hard work and allows the society to continue to offer our members the opportunity to exhibit and sell their art. The next opportunity for this will be at the October 20/21st Art and Craft Sale, where members man their own ‘stalls’, and thus are present to discuss their work, at our usual venue of Lyndhurst Community Centre. The society is also pleased to announce that Brenda Molynuex, a long standing member, won the Art Society Competition Award, run by the Art Pavilion at this years New Forest and Hampshire County Show, for her painting ‘Early One October Morning’. New members are still welcome to join the Society, for the latter part of the Society’s calendar year, at a reduced price. Attendance at monthly meetings as a guest (small entry fee) is also an option. The full programme can be viewed on our website (www. newforestartsociety.weebly.com) or on the society’s notice board inside Lyndhurst Community Centre. The Chums, By Carol Mileusnic
This year there were three raffle prizes. The society thanks well-known professional artist Jamel Akib for donating a pastel painting, Rachael Smith (chair) for donating an acrylic painting and Teresa Rogers (secretary) for donating a voucher for a half-day printmaking workshop.

Tastes so good...
PULLED PORK SANDWICHES
As the temperature drops, we find ourselves wanting more easy to make, comfort food. Not only is this dish simple to create is also tastes delicious. Perfect for quiet Autumn nights in.
Ingredients for 12 servings 1 medium onion (chopped) ½ cup of ketchup ¼ cup of packed brown sugar ¼ cup of tomato paste 2tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1/3 cup of cider vinegar 2tbp. sweet paprika 1 ½ tsp. Salt 1 ¼ tsp. ground black pepper 4lb boneless pork shoulder 12 buns or ciabatta rolls
Equipment: Large slow-cooker, large bowl, forks Method: Mix together the onion, ketchup, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, paprika, mustard and then add the salt and the pepper. Once you have done this, pour the sauce mixture into the slow cooker pot and add the pork, making sure to also coat it in sauce. Pop the lid on top of the slow cooker and cook the pork. Do this on a low setting (one which the manufacturer recommends). Cook until the pork is tender for between 8-10 hours. When it is finally cooked, move the pork from the slow cooker into a large bowl. Change the temperature setting on the cooker to ‘high’, cover the pot and then cook the sauce. Do this until boiling point is reached to make the mixture thicker. Pull the pork apart into shreds (you can use 2 forks for this). Then put the shredded pork back into the slow cooker, mixing it into the sauce. Cover once again and cook on high. Finally, once warmed through, spoon mixture into buns and serve.

Gardening Tips
a beginner’s
GUIDE Ponds
If you are lucky enough to have a pond, large or small, at this time of year check all the pond plants and remove all dead and dying growth.
If you have a pump to run a fountain or waterfall, now is the time to clean and service it and store it until Spring. Feed the fish before Winter hibernation.
Cover the pond with netting to stop leaves from falling into the water and sinking to the bottom. Too much rotting vegetation in the water will create methane gas to the detriment of fish and other wildlife as well as a disgusting, smelly layer of sludge in the bottom that you will have to deal with, sooner or later!
If we have a severe winter, be ready to cover the pond completely during really freezing weather, or at least try to ensure fish can get oxygen by keeping a small area ice-free by using a ball or floating bowl. If the pond is covered with a sheet of ice, pour boiling water into the bowl until it can be lifted out.
In early Autumn, if you have clumps of marginal and bog plants, they can be divided and cut back the leaves of waterside plants.
Having said all that, I've actually seen goldfish frozen in solid ice for weeks, only to start swimming around perfectly happily when they thawed out - so what do I know?!
