2021 Village Show - 7th Augut 2021
The 2020 Village Show has now been rescheduled for 7th August 2021.
Following the cancellation of the 2020 Village Show because of corona virus we are delighted to announce a new Village Show date of 7th August 2021. The show normally runs bi-annually so this moves it into the year we would normally not hold a show.
We plan to run the same programme as we were intending to run in 2020 so any preparation is not wasted! Watch out for more news in coming months as we prepare for the new date date.
We obviously do not know what the Covid-19 situation will be by then so we will undertake risk assessments in line with goverment guidance closer to the time.
Keep safe everyone
The Show Committee
See Village Show page for more information and the initial programme.
- The latest edition of the Courier magazine is available here and on the St Leonards page.
- The Somerley recycling centre now requires pre-booking before arrival. A time slot can be booked here, click the link
- How well does your Whitsbury broadband connection work?
- There have been reports of the line dropping out and the home hub box re-synchronising between 5 and 10 times a day - does that happen to you?
- If it does please let us know as we want to apply pressure to BT if there is a general issue. The more evidence we have the more compelling the case.
- If you are experiencing problems please drop a note to Geoff Dominey who is collecting information on local issues, please e-mail broadband@whitsbury.com
- We continue to receive complaints of some residents burning their waste on bonfires. We would ask that residents be considerate to their neighbours and avoid having garden bonfires at this time.
- Smoke from bonfires can aggravate health issues for vulnerable residents, cause additional stress to those trying to enjoy their outside space, and the risk from uncontrolled fires could impact on an already stretched fire service.
- If you are subjected to the above; then, to maintain good neighbour relations, you may wish to discuss the matter with your neighbour(s) or the manager etc. of the neighbouring premises if it is a business, as they may not be aware that there is a problem.
- NFDC advise residents to store their waste until it can be collected or composted. Should frequent bonfires which impact on another property continue to occur, residents may wish to make a formal complaint see http://www.nfdc.gov.uk/bonfires if it is a constant problem.

Village Show The 2020 Show was cancelled due to Covid-19 and will be run in 2021. Date to follow.
- Hampshire County Council are changing the ways that we are allowed to use Household Waste Recycling Centres such as Somerley. The centres will be installing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems which will automatically check the council database for your registration. There is a need to pre-register your car. If your car is not registered there will be a £5 charge per visit. The £5 charge will apply to all those not registered or visiting from outside the Hampshire catchment area.

Whitsbury Calendar
With the cancellation of the Village Show we will defer the calendar until 2022. The calendar will be for the calendar year 2022. So we would like to ask everyone in the village to get involved and submit a photograph or two taken around the village that encompasses something of the village feel, a village landmark or favourite village view. A flyer as shown below has been circulated to all houses in the village and a new e-mail account set up at calendar@whitsbury.com to send entries or ask questions.
