Despite this restriction, a number of quite low scores have been achieved over the years making one wonder why so much stu is carried around most of the time. is year Wayne Niles pipped everyone to the post with an excellent nett 69 to win the Jack Langford Trophy and Steve Waterman won nearest the pin on hole 13. Division 1: 1st Chris Bennett 70 Jack Langford Trophy winner Wayne Niles nett, 2nd Mike Fawcett 72 nett (back 9=35, back 6=21), 3rd Steve Duckett 72 nett (back 9=35, back 6=23). Division 2: 1st Wayne Niles 69 nett, 2nd Colin Chatten 70 nett, 3rd Colin Bailey 74 nett. Pannage has Started - Be Mindful of Free-roaming Animals in the Road Advice from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary Hampshire Alert Many of the animals that roam the New Forest such as pigs, horses, sheep, cows and donkeys are owned by the Commoners. DID YOU KNOW? Under the ancient practice of pannage, pigs are released into the Forest to feed on fallen acorns, beechmast, chestnuts and other nuts. Green acorns in particular are poisonous to the ponies and cattle which roam the forest the majority of the year. The pannage season this year runs until Friday 22nd November. As the nights draw in sooner, and with free-roaming animals feeding across the Forest, there is a risk of drivers in particular becoming involved in a collision with an animal. It is an o ence to fail to report a collision with an animal under Section 170(8) of the Road Tra c Act 1988. e animals captured within this piece of legislation are horse, cattle, ass, mule, sheep, pig, goat and dog. On 29th September last year, a pig was hit and killed by a car on Stoney Cross Plain Road in the New Forest, and the driver did not stop at the scene. Following a number of enquiries, our dedicated Country Watch team were able to identify and track down the driver – a man in his 40s from Grimsby. He has been issued with a Conditional Caution, with a requirement that he pay the pig owner £300 compensation. In the event of a collision, it’s important to stop your vehicle, check on the animal if safe to do so, identify your location and report to the police by calling 999. It is worth downloading the What3Words app on your phone: https:// what3words.com/products/what3words-app this can help identify exactly where you are, and this information can then be passed to a police call handler to help track you down.
