Village Hall Committee – AGM Notice

Dear Neighbour

Stourpaine Village Hall and the adjacent playing fields are a great asset to our village in many ways. There are regular clubs and activities held there as well as events like the Jubilee and Coronation events and The Annual Garden Club Show. The Big Breakfasts are a lovely social gathering held a few times a year. It is home to the Tennis Club and used by many people for informal recreation and is available for football games. There is always potential for developing more activities and facilities. The hall and pavilion are also available for hire for family parties, weddings, art shows, poetry events, yoga retreats, etc. etc. The hall rental forms the main income source of funding for running and maintaining the facilities.

The Village Hall and Playing Fields are managed by a management committee of volunteer trustees. This is where I am asking for your help. Most of the volunteers have to leave the committee this year, either because they have served the maximum term allowed by our scheme of governance of 6 years, or for other personal reasons.

Horse Riders Beware

logo_bhs_blacklogoNot the happiest first entry of the New Year:

“a rider parked at Okeford Hill. When they returned to their trailer, they were unaware that whilst out riding, someone had put broken glass in with the shavings, in the trailer. The resulting injuries are too horrific to detail. The horse after stepping on the glass, reacted as you would expect but given the confines of a trailer, injured itself extensively. It is luck that the owner was not also seriously harmed. Please be aware and check your trailers before loading your horse, if it has been unattended. The police have been notified. “

Environment Agency – Flood Guidance Statement

Flood Guidance Statement

15:00hrs Thursday 13 February 2014

Abstract from the statement for Dorset:

HIGH flood risk for Dorset for coastal flooding on Friday into Saturday.
Significant and locally severe disruption from coastal flooding is also possible across most of the south coast of England on Friday and Saturday, most especially along the Dorset coastline.
Larger and slower responding rivers such as the Dorset Stour, the River Dee in North Wales and the Great Ouse continue to react to recent rainfall. Impacts may include disruption to transport, flooding of parts of communities.

Coastal / tidal
On Friday and into Saturday, another area of low pressure will bring gales, large waves and a positive surge to the south coast of England. This brings a HIGH flood risk to parts of Dorset, with a high likelihood of severe coastal flooding impacts particularly around Chiswell and Preston Beach. In places coastal beaches and defences remain degraded from recent storms.

Groundwater
Groundwater levels are exceptionally high (at record levels in parts of Wiltshire) across much of the south of England and further rainfall over the coming days is expected to exacerbate disruption from groundwater flooding.

In south Wiltshire and parts of Dorset (communities of Tilshead, Shrewton, Orcheston, Berwick St James and Around Cranborne Chase) localised groundwater flooding is already occurring and there is a low likelihood of significant impacts from groundwater flooding today, bringing a LOW flood risk overall. From Friday onwards, groundwater levels in these areas are expected to rise again in response to recent rainfall, with a medium likelihood of significant impacts in Dorset and Wiltshire leading to a MEDIUM overall flood risk. Impacts may include further flooding to properties and roads in the area, specifically the A35 at Winterbourne Abbas, leading to significant travel disruption.

Surface water
On Friday and Saturday, further heavy rain and bands of showers will fall on very saturated ground across much of England and Wales. In southern parts of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and western parts of Dorset, there is a medium likelihood of significant impacts from surface water flooding on both Friday and Saturday.
