New Defibrillator

By | Village News | No Comments

The observant amongst you will already have noticed the brand new defibrillator on the external wall of the Coop. Our thanks go to Postcode Publications for providing us with the defib and to the Coop for agreeing to mount it on their wall. We, of course, hope that there will be no need to use the defibrillator but, if there is, I am told that there is a very straightforward set of instructions to be followed. However, to ensure that we are confident about this, training is to be provided by the South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust. Watch this space.

Hampshire Farm Meadows Community Orchard

By | Village News | No Comments

About two years ago, Greening Westbourne planted the first fruit trees at Hampshire Farm Meadows. The community orchard has now grown to 53 trees and, alongside apple, now boasts pear, cherry and plum trees. The most recent planting took place on Saturday 10th February and was well attended by members of the Community Orchard Group as well as sponsors of the ten new trees.

Of particular poignancy to Greening Westbourne, was the planting of a Fiesta apple tree by Helen Barlow, in memory of her husband Jim, long-time webmaster of the Westbourne Village website and founding member of the community orchard. Jim lost his brave battle against Motor Neurone Disease in April of last year. Alongside the tree for Jim was one celebrating the achievements of local astronaut Tim Peake, whose request for an apple tree was linked to the fruit which is said to have alighted on the head of Isaac Newton in 1667.

Westbourne Spring Clean Day – a date for your dairy

By | Events, Village News | No Comments

Our annual Spring Clean Day will be taking place this year on Sunday 8th April. Ours is a lovely village but is too easily spoilt by litter, much of it thrown out of the windows of passing cars. Join us in this community event, which sees us take responsibility for our immediate environment and also provides us with an opportunity to meet and socialise with fellow villagers. Further details will be found in the April issue of the Westbourne Magazine: all you need to know now is that we meet at 2.00pm in the Square.
