Keith Williams becomes Rotary Hero & President

At the final Rotary Club of Becton & District meeting of the yearbecame a busy event for Milford on Sea resident, Keith Williams.
 
In addition to being awarded a Rotary Hero Certificate by outgoing President Terry Conner he was then elected to be the incoming President of the Club to serve from July 2020 to June 2021. 

Keith and his wife Christine proudly displaying Keith’s Certificate.

Keith's Rotary Hero Award was in recognition of his work with New Forest Sewing for the NHS where he coordinated the logistics associated with the manufacture and delivery of the following protective equipment for use by the NHS and other Care Providers: 
  • 5,000 Scrub Bags 
  • 1,000 sets of Scrubs 
  • 20,000 Gowns 
  • 1,500 Headbands 
Masks are once again very much in demand with already 1000 being produced and made available at various distribution points around the area. 

This work has meant both Keith and his wife Christine have endured repeated long days ensuring that supply and delivery kept up with the project volunteers who have done so much for the Community. 

Becton & District Rotary is a small friendly club serving the community in the wider New Milton area; if you are interested in becoming a Friend of the Club please contact Larry on secretary@bectonrotary.org.uk

MOSHRS Podcast: Milford in Domesday

Milford on Sea Historical Record Society have launched their latest podcast, this time the subject offers more stories relating to Milford in Domesday.

When William the Conqueror became king of England in 1066, he destroyed the Anglo Saxon aristocracy replacing it with 200 Norman and French barons. But what happened in Milford? Milford was in Rowditch, the southern-most hundred [district] in Hampshire. 

See the latest podcast to discover: 
  • Why King William gave the manor of Hordle, the most valuable in the Rowditch Hundred, to Ralph Mortimer. 
  • Why a third of the manors in Rowditch Hundred remained in Anglo Saxon hands. 
  • How Aelfric, the Anglo Saxon lord of Milford manor, built at Milford the church which was to become the centre of the Ancient Parish of Milford. 

MOSHRS would like to share the video with the whole village.

To view the podcast, please click here.

Village Masks raise £1000

Milford on Sea WI rapidly became part of New Forest Sewing for the NHS, organised by Becton Rotary, when the pandemic broke. WI members, together with friends and neighbours in the village have sewn scrub bags, headbands and scrub caps for use in our local hospitals and care homes. Approximately 2000 items were made and distributed. Ladies, and a few gentlemen, also ironed in excess of 3000 plastic gowns which apparently were better made than those obtained commercially!

Their latest achievement is to make in excess of 700 face coverings which are all recyclable. They have been available for anyone from The Pharmacy at Milford Medical Centre, Time and Tide and The Cave. 

Donations were asked for the masks in aid of New Forest Basics Bank. On Tuesday 23rd June, the total raised hit a magnificent £1000 which will be put to good use in the coming months. 

Face coverings are still available in a multitude of designs and fabrics. Please support this local initiative.

Huge thanks are due to everyone who has sewn all these items or donated for the masks.

A Funny Bike Ride

Anyone who has been to a Comedy Night at Milford on Sea Community Centre, or who watched the Milford Comedy Night on YouTube last Thursday evening, will recognise Stephen Grant.

Stephen is an established comedian and the regular host of the Milford on Sea Comedy Nights.

Yesterday he set himself a goal attempting to cycle for the whole day. Stephen explains; "And by that I mean, I’ll start when the Sun comes up and finish when the Sun goes down. No particular reason why, other than the fact that I can."

So, leaving his home in Brighton as the sun come up he set out to see how far he could go in daylight. 

He made it to Norwich! - That’s 200 miles (323km), and finally got home by car 23 hours after he got up.  During the ride he averaged over 15mph and burnt over 10,000 calories!

He managed a final comment before bed; "The sun has just gone down so It’s done, and so am I." 

Not sure I would have been able to speak at all if I had tried that arduous adventure!

To see Stephen's journey in pictures, please click here.
