Transport to vaccinations

Community First New Forest is using its minibuses to transport passengers to the Milford on Sea War Memorial Hospital for their vaccinations. 

You would be collected from your home, and the driver will wait while you have the jab and take you back home afterwards. 

Only one person is taken at a time and the size of the vehicle is such that social distancing can be maintained. All drivers are DBS checked. 

The fare is £3.00 and donations to the charity are welcome. There is now a bus located in Milford on Sea for these trips and after every trip the bus is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

The contact number to book a trip is the Community First New Forest Office on 01425 482773. 

Please note: There was an article in the Lymington Times last week about the service but the paper inadvertently published the incorrect fare.

Something to make your day...

Fancy seeing something really uplifting?

What would you do if you had four kids and stuck at home during Lockdown? 

Well, The very talented Marsh family have added some brilliant lyrics to well known songs. They are not only joyful and amusing, they are also almost guaranteed to brighten your day.

I'm not sure; it might be their creativity, it might be their enjoyment, or it might simply be seeing a family together during Lockdown that might just bring a tear to your eye.

Sponsor the Milford School Leavers

A message from Milford on School PFA:

------------------------------------------------------------

Sponsorship opportunity - Milford-On-Sea Primary Year 6 leavers celebration

Please help us to make this school year memorable for the right reasons!

There is no doubting that the last year has been tough for everyone. With schools closed for large periods of time, many children have found themselves isolated from friends and their learning severely interrupted. This has perhaps been felt hardest by children in Year 6 – a critical year to develop social skills and consolidate academic achievements before the big leap to secondary school in September.

With this in mind, we are launching a campaign to support Year 6 children at Milford-On-Sea Primary school. We want to try and help them end their last primary school year on a positive note. But to be successful we really need some help! So, we are on the hunt for some amazing supporters from the local community who can help us make this happen.

Leaving primary school is an important milestone in every child’s life. At Milford-On-Sea Primary School this is usually marked by creating special activities and items for the Year 6 children including a yearbook featuring every year 6 child. In normal times these would be funded by proceeds from events set up by parents throughout the year – cake sales, raffles, etc. However, this is no normal school year and it has not been possible to support the year 6 children by raising money in this way.

This is where we are asking please for some much-needed support in helping us to give these children something positive to remember about this difficult school year, and to create some happy memories with them as they progress to the next step.

We are looking for a series of sponsors from the community. Those who understand how important this time is and would be kind enough to donate towards the costs of a yearbook, and a series of events (physical or virtual depending on restrictions) for the year 6 leavers.

Support like this would make such a difference and we would be incredibly grateful. In return we would ensure that your donation is well promoted. All sponsors will be recorded in the yearbook, shared on social media posts from the school and the PFA, and shared within the entire school community via newsletters etc. Sponsors would also be featured in news about the campaign shared with local media.

We are looking to raise around £100 from each sponsor. If you feel you would be able to help us reach this target and would like more information about how to get involved and support this campaign, please contact Kerry Wills at thebigbash@yahoo.com

With thanks from all of the Year 6 Parents at MOSPS!

Your thoughts on the Christmas Decorations

As it is just 3 questions, could you find the time to provide your feedback on this year's Christmas Decorations:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The volunteer organisers of this year's Milford on Sea Christmas Decorations would like to find out whether Milford was more Magical this Christmas?

Now that all of the Christmas decorations have been removed from the village, both Diana Brushwood and Tracy Haupt would very much like to hear your thoughts and comments on what worked well, what wasn’t so good and what you’d like to see this coming Christmas. 

The feedback is very important to this year’s planning, so please spend a few minutes completing the survey (Just 3 questions) by clicking here or if you prefer, email your comments and ideas to: tracyhaupt01@aol.com

and dianabrushwood@gmail.com.

Planning for Christmas 2021 decorations will commence soon. For those who feel it’s too early for us to be having these discussions, please understand it all takes a lot of time, planning and discussion with many organisations, to get such an event organised. 

Thank you in advance for completing the survey – Diana and Tracy hope this year will be very different to last year and that we’ll all be able to enjoy a normal life very soon.

Do you like your jam naked?

Local jam maker, Jen Williams normally supplies her range of fine jams and marmalades to boutique hotels, bed and breakfasts and delicatessens across the New Forest. Most are currently closed due to the lockdown, so Jen is now offering her lovely preserves online at naked-jam.co.uk/shop. 

If you enjoy something tasty on your bread or toast the range is certainly worth a look.

----------------------------------------------------------------

About Naked Jam: The story so far…

Naked Jam was inspired by my sister, and by the confidence of winning an award at marmalade awards, 2011. I like to use seasonal local fruit and more often than not it’s foraged. ( I have been known to fall out of trees!) I love to develop new taste combinations, combined with traditional cooking methods.

I spent my childhood in Wales, where my mother was a Cook to a retired Colonel. They had an extensive kitchen garden and a hot-house supplying exotic fruits year-round, so that my mom could cater for the royal and overseas guests who sought the Colonel’s wise counsel.

I learned how to forage for flowers and fruits in a way we would now label ‘sustainable’. Whether collecting rosehips, sloes, blackberries, or rowanberries, we harvested only what we could reach easily – everything else was for birds and animals. At Christmas, I made gifts of jams, jellies and chutneys using ingredients from the garden and hedgerows, bottling and labelling as I went and learning that you can only make the best with the best.

My mom is my inspiration, a woman intent to get the best out of food, to give us the delight of her pallet and her cooking. She not only passed down her cook books but a love and passion for food, working with seasons and wild fruit.

It’s these fruit seasons that inspire my taste buds to dance, from oranges in January to autumn raspberry’s that capture the last of the summer sun. As I pick them from the bush I can imagine tasting that fresh burst of sunshine in a layered cake in November.

But ultimately I am inspired by my taste imagination capturing a season in a jar. The fruit changes as the seasons unfold so I channel my imagination and I use them to create unique recipes.

MOSHRS Podcast: Did Dr Who visit Milford?

Milford on Sea Historical Record Society have launched their latest podcast, this time the subject is: Did Dr Who visit Milford?

But, what happened if the vicar never turned up? In 1820 Milford’s vicar was Dr George Thompson but he was never here! Find out more in our latest video podcast.

Staycation boost holiday hopes for Shorefield

An interesting article by Lorelei Reddin in the Daily Echo highlights that an anticipated increase in the Great British staycation this summer from which Shorefield is hoped to benefit.

Treehouses at Shorefield

To encourage people to book now, Shorefield Holidays are offering a Covid guarantee and 20 per cent off all breaks reserved before the end of the month. To find out more please click here.

To read the full Daily Echo article please click here.

The History of Shorefield

Shorefield Holidays was formed on the 4th July 1958 by the late Dr Robert Pollock. When he was unable to find a touring pitch for the family’s annual holiday, he purchased a small caravan park next to a worked-out gravel pit at Milford on Sea and so the company was born.

For the first eighteen years, the business was run by Dr Pollock as a sideline to his main career as a General Practitioner in Bedford. The Doc, as he was known, used to drive the 260 miles every Wednesday to visit the park. His evenings were spent paying the bills and collecting the site fees. When he retired from medicine, Dr Pollock moved to Milford and spent many hours listening to his customers and staff, whilst walking the park with his dog.

Dr Pollock’s children, the present Directors, joined the business in the 1970s bringing with them new skills. The family-run company has gone from strength to strength and now consists of eight parks all situated within Hampshire and Dorset.

Lytton Lawn Touring Park was purchased in 1988 and eight years later Oakdene Forest Park was acquired. Forest Edge Holiday Park was bought in 2001 and in 2005 Priestway Holiday Park, later renamed as Swanage Coastal Park was purchased. Merley Court Holiday Park was bought in 2006, and New Forest Lodge Retreat, formerly Kelston Holiday Park was purchased in 2017. Wilksworth Caravan Park, near Wimborne, is the latest acquisition bought in 2018 and is a fitting way to celebrate our award-winning 60th Anniversary for our parks and our staff.

Coastal defence restored at Milford on Sea

The Dredging Today website has reported that phase one of the coastal defence work at Westover on Milford on Sea seafront is now complete.

The construction commenced in August 2020. Since then, 12,000 tonnes of Norwegian granite has been put in place over a distance of 268 metres. In addition to this, steel sheets and girders have been installed to reinforce the seawall behind the newly constructed rock revetment and repairs have also been undertaken to a number of timber groynes along the beach.

More Hearts from Volunteer Knitters

Becton Rotary Club, which has a number of members in Milford on Sea, has seen resurgence in the demand for their knitted hearts. The hearts, previously provided to local hospitals and care homes, come in pairs with one given to the isolated person and the second retained by their family. It has been found that the emotional comfort this scheme creates eases the trauma caused by enforced separation. 

Following a recent appeal for volunteer knitters to help meet the new demand Becton Rotary has received offers of help from Milford on Sea, New Milton, Barton on Sea, Hordle and Ashurst. A truly wonderful response from so many community minded volunteers. Particular thanks go to the members of Milford on Sea Women’s Institute for their support. 

Project Coordinator, Rtn Terry Conner said; "It is heart warming to see so many people volunteering to help with this project and by providing these knitted hearts bring emotional comfort to patients and their families during these difficult times."

"Totally blown away today, I was out to pick up provisions for a friend who has just returned home from hospital after being treated for cancer and decided to get some cakes from the new bakers in Milford when I explained I didn’t want cream cakes as my friend had stomach problems from the treatment they were so helpful and then wouldn’t take payment and the lovely girl who served me wrote a card for the box ! Fantastic staff and cakes, in tough times like this it’s great to see a small start up business like this doing so well and supporting the community."
