Peter, or ‘Murf’ as he was more commonly known, served as the station Chaplain in the 1980’s when he was the vicar in Hythe, and a er moving to Lyndhurst for a time, he returned to the area around 2008 where he rejoined the crew. when he saw them coming back to station, would make his way down, in case it had been a tough job and any crew needed support. Often that support would just be to sit and listen, he viewed himself as a shepherd watching over his returning flock. Peter also had the pleasure of marrying members of the crew, as well as baptising their children. He also went afloat to administer the scattering of ashes until his health deteriorated, after which he trained crew to perform the task, whilst he participated from shore via radio.” Members of Murf’s family, plus friends, including members of his darts team, named e Improbablessaw attended the opening. Calshot RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager Jane Banting gave a speech, followed by a blessing of the room by current Chaplain Barry James, before retiring downstairs for refreshments. Of the room, Jane Banting said: “The room upstairs was tired and not very welcoming. With the money bequeathed, we have been able to transform it into a space that has regular use. The fact that its Murf’s Room is a fitting tribute to a wonderful man who did so much for not just Calshot RNLI, but also for the wider community. It is an honour and a privilege to have Murf’s name on the door and his picture adorning the wall in our station. We are also very lucky that his legacy lives on as Trish joined the crew as our Admin Officer.” space incorporates foldaway tables, large enough to accommodate the many charts that the crew uses, plus a new projector and screen to enable group training via the RNLI’s online training platform. Additionally, there are two comfortable chairs to allow crew time to sit and take a moment or two out or have a place to sit and speak on a one-to-one basis in a more informal setting. Murf’s widow, Trish said: “Whenever the pager went off, Peter would always check on the status of the boats and A er his passing in 2021, Shelley Wilson, the daughter of a friend of Murf set up a Justgiving page in his memory and the proceeds were donated to Calshot RNLI to use as they needed. It was decided that the upstairs space in the station was not being utilised e ectively and the money was used to convert the space into a training room. The new training Peter Murphy Calshot RNLI Station Chaplain (Photo Credit: Trish Murphy) HPHA HERITAGE DAY Hythe Pier Heritage Association’s (HPHA) Heritage Day is on Saturday 16th September, 10.30am to 3pm.

Harry Beckett, who previously attended Noadswood School, earned the top grades in Spanish, Law and Economics. He became uent in conversational Spanish a er his talent was spotted and nurtured by teachers Sally Platt and Ana Gaztanaga. Harry said: “The linguistics aspect is really important for me, and the course at Oxford seems to go into great detail – it won’t be easy but it’s exactly what I’ve been seeking.” Taking Spanish at Brock was an excellent choice. The course focussed on a combination of Spanish and Latin American culture and literature, which greatly improved all my skills in the language. My favourite parts of the course were the speaking sessions, which really helped with my confidence to speak and put my Spanish into practice, plus the focus on the culture of Spanish speaking countries, which allowed me to be knowledgeable when speaking with native speakers.” One of Harry’s strategies for learning success was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in Spanish from cover-tocover – an approach he calls ‘brute-forcing’. As well as Spanish, he can speak conversational Dutch and is now challenging himself further by learning Chinese. Spanish teacher, Sally Platt, said: “Harry has an extraordinary natural talent for processing linguistics, and it has been a real pleasure to nurture his gift and witness his speedy development. I’m really thrilled with Harry’s results – he has worked so hard to achieve his A*s and all his efforts have paid off. It’s a phenomenal achievement, especially as he hadn’t taken Spanish at school. We’re all so proud of him and wish him the very best as he takes his place at Oxford.” Harry Beckett Indoor Arts and Crafts Market Every Tuesday As well as the very popular Hythe Market held on the High Street, you will also nd an Indoor Arts And Cra s Market every Tuesday in St John’s Church Hall from 9am to 2pm. e indoor market has been running for over 30 years, o ering a wide variety of stalls from local cra ers and sellers. e regular stalls include handmade gifts for babies and children, leatherette goods, hair accessories, jewellery, wool, haberdashery, plants, homemade cakes, preserves and jams, greetings cards, wooden fairy doors and trinket boxes, wind chimes and more!

RNLI Press O cer, Dan Poole, said: “It was yet another superb effort from competitors to helpers alike and we were absolutely delighted with the turnout, especially with the FIFA Women’s World Cup final on the same day.With 18 rafts competing, it is many years since we last had so many. There was a great atmosphere and I think people were just glad to get out again and enjoy themselves. Each year, our small team of volunteers work tirelessly to ensure the event goes to plan, so I am pleased it has paid off. With the money still being counted, it is too early to report the final sum, but we can be sure it was another successful fundraiser. Special thanks must go to our raft race secretary, Colin Thompson, who has been promoting the raft race, as well as our cause in general, daily, for several months on the raft race Facebook page he set up”. Also at the ra race was Cole’s Fairground, a burger van, Vibrant Forest Brewery, Blackwax Co ee, other refreshments, Souvenirs, and various other stalls. e Main Sponsor, TMT Legal Continued on page 11

Immediately welcomed into the newly opened Fort Climate Centre, members enjoyed refreshments including cream and jam scones (made with the centre’s own plum jam no less!) and were then treated to a presentation which explained how, since 1975, the centre has been used to educate people about the British countryside, rural life and farming. Rotarians then went on a walk around the centre including the farm and orchard, seeing the animals and the vast array of produce that is grown there. Before leaving for a local pub meal, immediate past President Ray Lewis, presented the CET with a Hythe & Waterside Rotary donation of £500 and wished them every success with their future events. Rotarians watch Ray Lewis present the cheque donation. Successful First Repair Café for Waterside They did it! The first Waterside Repair Café was a success and some very happy customers left with repaired items, given a new lease of life by the wonderful team of repairers. Customers were wating at the door from 10am ready for their 10.30am opening. The first repairs to leave the building were a set of 1970’s musical Christmas toys. Within 20 minutes a very happy customer was on her way home with singing and dancing toys, ready to hand down to her daughter. Other repairs included printers, blenders, lamps, cushion covers, a game controller and much more. They even took in a generator from the Hythe Fire Engine Charity, which when repaired will be donated to the Ukrainian Appeal. The volunteers repaired twelve out of seventeen items, saving 230kg of CO2 emissions. That is the equivalent to the emissions generated by watching 406 days of television non-stop. With funding from local Councillor Matthew Hartman, the organisers have been busy promoting the Repair Café and recruiting volunteers. Now, it is time to establish the café as a regular event on the Waterside offering repairs of small household items and textiles to local people. If you have an item sitting at home, not working, take it along on the last Saturday of each month. Their volunteers will do their best to repair it, and if they can’t they will advise you on the best way to dispose of it. The Repair Café takes place on the last Saturday of each month at Blackfield Baptist Church Hall, Hampton Lane, Blackfield. Doors open at 10.30am last repair checked in at 1pm.

Community assets (buildings and facilities such as Gang Warily, Jubilee Hall, and open spaces) can be in our ownership for decades and as times and community needs change some facilities become outdated or their original purpose is no longer valid. An example of this is Jubilee Hall; originally the core was built as a Community Hall, over the years there have been various extensions added to accommodate the communities needs such as the Council Chamber, a reception area, a series of rooms used for o ces, 2 Squash Courts with a viewing gallery, and toilets and changing rooms. Added at di erent times the result is a series of ugly structures that are rarely used or no longer suited to their original purpose. e time has come to acknowledge this and embrace the opportunity to change. There is no intention of demolishing the original Jubilee Hall but there are plenty of opportunities to consider better use of the site and/or building if some of the out-of-date extensions were removed. Attractive a ordable housing for young local people might be an option you would value? Old photos show that the land did originally have housing on it so it would not be out of place. Equally you may have ideas we haven’t even thought of. is consultation is about asking you as a community what you would like to see on the site: it is a unique opportunity to assess Fawley’s needs for the future whether it be housing, storage facilities, start-up business space, art and cra space, or something else? is is your chance to have your say in the future of your community. Links to the consultation can be found on: www. fawley-pc.gov.uk/whats-going-on/consultations/ or on Facebook: Fawley Parish Council or email: helen. bradley@fawley-pc.gov.uk Consultations will take place at Jubilee Hall from 4pm to 8pm on Wednesday 20th September and 10am to 1pm Saturday 14th October.
