Nathan Cook commented: “I’ve been working with Henry for two years now and he is an absolute pleasure to teach. He quickly moved through the levels on my junior programme and was the first to complete all seven stages at Dibden Golf Centre, which is some achievement when you’re competing against all ages up to 17. Henry now has an official handicap of 17 and is continuing to progress. I love working with him – to have so much understanding, talent and desire at the age of seven is very special. The most important thing is that he absolutely loves the game and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for him.” Over the coming months, Henry will be working on perfecting his technique and bringing his handicap down ahead of the world championships in 2023.

It has signi cantly reduced animal road deaths but there is still some way to go. e ponies have been named ‘Winnies’ by the WI as ponies ‘whinny’ and it uses the WI lettering too. e hope is the ponies will act as an educational tool, to show how di cult it is for animals to be seen in the shadows and as an aide memoir so the children will remind the driver to slow down when driving across the New Forest. PCSO Richard Williams said: “We could go out and ticket everyone speeding but we have found that educating speeding drivers travelling just over the 40 limit through the Operation Mountie campaign has a better response. We hope that the Winnie ponies that the ladies of Copythorne WI have kindly knitted for us, will aid us in educating people and spreading the word about the dangers of speeding in the New Forest.” Operation Mountie is a multi-agency campaign involving the Police, Forestry England, The New Forest National Park Authority, the Agisters and New Forest District Council all working together to raise awareness of the speed limits in the New Forest and to help to educate drivers who are travelling over the 40mph speed limit by showing them images of the animals and cars that have been involved in accidents to help them to understand the severity of speeding across the New Forest. A er the success of the national ‘Bobby Buddies’, which many Herald readers have contributed to, Copythorne WI were approached by local PCSO, Richard Williams, to see if they could knit New Forest Ponies with a ‘40’ in yellow on the side to represent the speed limit, to be handed out to the children of drivers pulled over as part of Operation Mountie. A pattern was found and the rst lot of ponies was delivered to the police and Forestry England in late September. Winnies Copythorne WI members Liz Hughes, Jo Chillcott and Sue Nisbett, present the first Winnies to the Police and Forestry England. Don’t worry, it’s not Christmas yet! However, many friends of the newly formed New Forest Sounds ladies choir have asked when the Christmas concert will be. Well it’s all arranged! e title is indeed e Night Before Christmas and the concert will be on Wednesday 7th December in St John’s Church, Hythe at 7.30pm. Tickets will be £8 to include refreshments and can be purchased from choir members or on the door. A donation will be made to charity. Do put the date in your diary. e choir hope to see lots of friends and supporters enjoying a lovely festive evening. THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

During the summer the trees were cared for by Barcham’s Nursery ahead of distribution at the start of the planting season in October. ese historic trees are now being gi ed across the UK. e Lord Lieutenants of each county, who are His Majesty e King’s representatives, have been championing the Queen’s Green Canopy locally and have selected the recipients of the special trees and pot. At the beginning of October the selected recipients Hope Street in Southampton, a pioneering residential community for women and children. In the New Forest a tree will be gi ed to e Cameron Bespolka Trust which was set up in memory of Cameron, who died in a tragic accident aged 12, to inspire young people to love and appreciate animals, in particular birds and their wider habitats. e Trust has renovated a cottage, Cameron’s Cottage, in the heart of the RSPB Franchises Lodge Nature Reserve in the New Forest, to create a sustainable place where groups of young people can experience and learn about the natural world. Sir Nicholas Bacon, Chairman of e Queen’s Green Canopy said: “We are proud to unveil this nationwide network of organisations chosen to become custodians of these special trees in Her Majesty’s name. In recognition of the positive impact that they have on their communities, the groups chosen represent the very best of Britain.

Our local area was no di erent, with RAF Beaulieu being the venue of four annual “Battle of Britain” air shows in the years 1945, 1946, 1948, and 1949. To gain access to the displays at Beaulieu Heath, visitors could buy tickets for just one shilling per person (about 5 pence today). Money raised was donated to the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund. In return, visitors could witness incredible sights on and over the huge air eld. ese included acrobatic performances of newly invented jet aircra , parachute displays, y pasts with mock air battles, helicopters performing funny routines, captured German aircra on view, and various games and stalls you might expect at a village fete. Whilst cameras were banned, it was intended to be fun for all the family. Children could climb into ghter aircra , go in the large hangars, enter buildings, play with model racing cars, and adults could get refreshments in the various air eld dining halls and messes. e last Beaulieu Air Display was in 1949 and this one was by far the biggest, with an estimated 30,000 people in attendance. To picture a similar attendance, this is Sikorsky helicopter based at RAF Beaulieu was towing a banner over Lymington to advertise the event. e banner was attached to a trailing steel cable. During a trial ight, a Spit re came too close and struck the weight on the end of the cable. Whilst the helicopter and crew were not harmed, Flying O cer Eastman who was piloting the Spit re, crashed, and died behind the Waggon & Horses pub (now the Ferryman) on Undershore Road. Tragedy would again strike the Beaulieu Air Display in the following year. On the day of the 1946 show, Squadron Leader Robin Palmer undertook a risky spin manoeuvre in front of the spectators. He lost control and crashed his Supermarine Sea re (a naval version of a Spit re) on the air eld, losing his life in front of a horri ed audience. Despite these two accidents, the Beaulieu Air Displays continued to go ahead each year until the nal event in 1949. e only exception was 1947, when no show was organised. e Air Ministry would eventually relinquish control of RAF Beaulieu in late 1959. Buildings and tarmac were pulled down and torn up. No aircra or huge crowds would ever be seen again on this piece of New Forest land. If you have any memories of local history like this, or just want to get in touch, please do email me on mheighway@hotmail.com the type of numbers who attend a Southampton versus Manchester United game at St. Marys stadium in the modern day. Walking on Beaulieu Heath now, it’s hard to imagine not just the buildings and runways that used to be there, but also air shows like this occurring, with so many people turning up. e Beaulieu Air Displays will have stuck in the memory of many a small boy and girl who went in the mid to late 1940’s, and who will still recall those magical sights to this day. However, tragedy would strike the Beaulieu Air Displays on two occasions. e rst incident was August 1945 in the lead up to the rst annual September show. A The “circus ringmaster and elephants” routine practice. This was at the 1949 display and had a ringmaster with helicopters dressed as elephants doing silly stunts! Example programmes

Staying with the social scene in 1875, this time we’ll visit Count and Countess Batthyany, just down the road at Eaglehurst. Edmund Gustavus, 6th Prince BatthyanyStrattmann, to give him his full title, was the son of a Hungarian nobleman. Born in 1826, he was a noted lover of the sporting life, particularly fond of yacht racing. Plainly the family knew how to throw a good party. In January 1875, the Hampshire Advertiser reports: New Year’s Festivities at Eaglehurst. The close of the old year and the coming in of the new year was celebrated at the seat of the Count and Countess Batthyany by a ball, given to their establishment and the servants of the neighbourhood, the guests numbering around sixty. A bountiful supper was provided by the Count and Countess, great praise being due to Mrs Fisher for the magnificent style in which it was served. Also to Mr Spieshanger and Miss Smith for conducting the same, and for their artistic skill in the decorations. Every effort was made to render all happy and comfortable. Dancing commenced at 10 o’clock, and was kept up with great spirit till a late hour, every one having thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Three cheers were then given for the Count and Countess, and Madame Moselle de Bornemann, and wishing them all a happy new year. This brought a very pleasant entertainment to a close, every one feeling grateful for the kindness they had received. On 29th May, their residence at Eaglehurst, the Count’s steam launch ‘Blunderbuss’, and his sailing yacht ‘Flying Cloud’, moored at Calshot, were all dressed with ags, in honour of the Count’s father’s racehorse winning the Derby at Epsom. In mid-August the same year, the Advertiser records: Garden Party at Eaglehurst. On Saturday the Count and Countess Batthyany gave a garden party on an extensive scale at Eaglehurst. The grounds were tastefully decorated with flags, etc., and the 1st Hants Artillery Volunteers, under Bandmaster Crook, attended, and played a capital selection of music in the afternoon. We may say that the grounds presented a most animated and pleasing appearance, especially when viewed from the Solent, and although these and the castle were not illuminated in the evening, yet the fireworks were of the most brilliant character, exceeding even those of last week. Several fire balloons were also sent up. ere follows a list of over a hundred of the great and good in attendance. Next time, we’ll revisit another of the social occasions in 1875.
