What have we been doing to improve the Village Hall?

In addition to applying for grants we have recently held the followingsuccessful events :-

1. The Vagrants Crew Social evening raising 495, saw the village hallpacked out with a lively crowd enjoying sea shanties and folk songs.

2. The Beetle Drive organised by the WI on behalf of the Village Hallraised 280. This was great fun and enjoyed by all who attended.

3. The fantastic Seacow Gig on 22nd May raised 155, and wasorganised jointly representatives from the Boardwalk group and theVillage Hall.

4. A recent donation of 300 from the Charity shop in Johnston Thanksto Mrs Mary Davies and Broad haven Chapel for.

Following these successes we, as a committee have been busy planning a varietyof events, to not only raise funds to improve the village hall but also to revive lifeback into the hall by using and enjoying this venue. Yes, it needs attention, we areworking on this; but it is still a viable venue and is a fantastic facility/ resource forour community. Please look at the list of events that we have planned and try tosupport us at some of these events or organise your own to help us fundraise. Itreally could be a case of use your village hall or lose!

Improvements during the summer holidays will include the hall ceiling beingreplaced and will be continued across the hall. Repainting of the hall will then followas soon as possible afterwards. The hall committee would like to thank Mr BrianHenderson for his help in working to secure funding and grants for the hall and inorganising and overseeing these recent improvements. Brian is leaving the areaduring the summer months and although the committee are extremely sorry to seehim leave, wish him the very best as he moves to North Devon.

Open letter to the Havens Community Council - Trafalgar Road Car Park

Before the extension to the Broad Haven school was started the CommunityCouncil agreed that half of the Trafalgar Road car park would be made availablefor the contractors to store equipment. In return the contractors would make adonation to the Community Council funds. No formal agreement was entered intoand no value was attached for the amount to be 'donated' by the contractors.

For the past twelve months work has been going on at the school and for nearlythe whole of that time not half the car park, but the total car park, has been usedby the contractors and there sub-contractors denying local residents and visitorsthe use of the car park. During that period I am not aware of any complaints fromlocal residents who have had to put up with noise, dust and and endless trafficdisruption, because we were pleased to see our school being modernised. Now,nearing the end of the work, the contractors have offered the Community Councilthe sum of two thousand pounds for the twelve months use of our car park. That isequal to the sum of 5.47 a day.

I hope that in the interest of the community, the Community Council will challengethis miserable sum and seek a much more realistic figure reflecting the disruptionto our community, for what would the contractors have to pay if the CommunityCouncil had not been so generous in allowing the use of the car park?LITTLE HAVEN SHORT MAT BOWLS

The Councilfully appreciated Jim's comments andasked the clerk to draft a reply. CllrLaurence Hughes fed back to theCouncil on the discussions held withAndrew Scott regarding thespecification intended to repair anydamage to the surface and was advisedthat a sub base would be laid down witha topping of clean stone. They had alsochecked the tarmac entrance and thiswas found to be in good order. Thefinish date for all work at the school isthe 10 August 2015 and it is hoped thatthe car park will be vacated by this date.

The Clerk agreed to feedback thecomments to the Diary Team.Vandalism It has been reported bya local resident that there had beenan incident in Meadow View duringwhich time eggs and other rubbishwere thrown at a house. Whilst noother residents had complained oneof the Councillors had noted thatthere was a large amount of rubbishtipped nearby at some time in the lastfew months which he felt might havecoincided with the eggs thrown at thedoor. The matter was reported to thePolice and the Western Telegraph.On requesting a recent update wewere advised that there had been nofurther incidences so far.Towards theend of June police and local residentspicked up information regarding a'rave in Broad Haven' beingadvertised on social media to be heldat the end of the GCSE exams.Local businesses were advised and alarge police presence in the Villageon the day in question ensured therewere no problems.Boardwalk Update The last of thesteel structure has been installedalong with the decking planks andwork was now starting on thehandrails which had to be purchasedby donations as it was not covered bythe grant money.

THE HAVENS COMMUNITY ALLOTMENTS AND GARDENS

Have you ever dreamt of having an allotment and of having the space to grow yourown fresh fruit and veg. and avoid supermarket prices? What about the fresh airand exercise that an allotment affords but are daunted by the prospect of turning apatch of meadow grass into a productive plot?

Others have done it so why not you in fact with three years experience of the sitethere are plenty of folk willing to share their exploits and ready advice to anynewcomer wishing to join the club. So why not set your sights on 2016 now andstart to plan your campaign to reap the benefits next year.

My prescription for a good allotment and healthy back is little and often as somany people take on a plot and think that their dream garden will materialise aftera couple of intensive Bank Holiday work outs. There is nothing more demoralisingthan strimming or digging a patch of ground only to find that if left too long it is worstthan when you started. Achievable, thorough bite size chunks are easier to digest!Personally chemicals and rotovators are no substitute for digging a small patch,getting your hands dirty and weeding the ground by hand. Yes a 10m x 10m plotseems enormous but when broken down into beds of say 2mx3m everything seemsless scary especially if the area you cannot tackle is covered in a weed suppressantmaterial such as old carpet. The next bed after a few months becomes easier totackle and so on until you have dug the whole plot.

Autumn is the time to prepare the beds by weeding, rough digging and manuring inreadiness for winter to do its work as frosts break down the soil and absorb thenutrients from the muck. Ready for forking over in readiness for planting in earlySpring. It sounds easy but it does take commitment and resolve to keep at it so ifyou want encouragement we are there to cheer you along the way.

Other matters to consider, depending on what you intend to grow, are rabbit prooffencing (which is very effective when properly constructed); netting for brassicas,and even a shed if you do not want to bother carrying your tools with you every timeyou visit.

25 will buy you the best view inBroadhaven in which to relax, worksteadily without overdoing it, exercisewithout paying gym prices and have thesatisfaction that what you grow is yours, isfresh and is well worth the effort. So whynot give me a ring and book a plot nowand pay no more until 2017! DavidMeanwell Chairman 01437 781039PS The manure comes free with the plot!!

BIRD WATCHWelcome to this months Bird Watch.Im one of two Ambassadors for the British Trust for Ornithologys (BTO) GardenBirdWatch Scheme in South Wales. Each month I introduce you to a bird or otheranimal that you might see in your garden.

Bird of the Month: GoldfinchDont be surprised if your garden seems quieter than usual this month. Birds will behiding themselves away in order to replace their feathers through their annualmoult, and juveniles will be moving away in search of their own territories. One birdthats sure to brighten up a quiet garden is the Goldfinch, an exotic looking finchwith a distinctive red, white and black head pattern. Look very closely and you maybe able to separate the sexes the red on the males face extends slightly behindthe eye. Keep an eye out for youngsters that have recently left the nest they arestreakier and lack the red face of adults, but still have characteristic gold wing bars.Goldfinches forage in flocks (the collective noun is a charm), so theres a goodchance of you seeing more than one. A Goldfinchs bill is thin and narrow comparedwith other finches, allowing them to extract seeds from hard-to-reach spaces.Unlike our jaws which are designed to bite firmly closed, their muscular strength liesin opening the bill, which enables Goldfinches to enlarge tight feeding places so thattheir tongue can scoop out tasty seeds.

Did you know? The beak of a male is about 1mm longer than that

of a female. This enables males to extract theseed-heads of teasels, while females may focus onthistles instead.

In the nineteenth century Goldfinches were popularcage birds; unfortunately this tradition still

continues in some partsof Europe. Their Welsh name isNico.

How to attract them toyour garden: Feedingnyger seed from aspecialised feeder canbe one of the bestways, although many Garden BirdWatchers areseeing a change of allegiance to sunflower hearts.Dandelion seeds are also popular - the perfectexcuse for not keeping your garden too tidy!Female Goldfinch: Russ Myners

Male Goldfinch: Nic Forbes


Conservation status: Green (no cause for concern).

BTO Garden BirdWatch data show a large increase in the reporting rate ofGoldfinches using Welsh (and UK) gardens over the last 15 years as they takeadvantage of the supplementary food provided. The largest charm of GoldfinchesIve seen in my garden contained 22 individuals - what a fantastic sight!

Make Your Garden Count!If you enjoy watching birds and other creaturesin your garden, and want to help track theirfortunes, then BTO Garden BirdWatch couldbe perfect for you. Please contact me for afree enquiry pack or to book a talk (Swansea andsurrounding areas).

In September 2007 the Baptist Church in Broad Haven was asked ifit would wish to take over a charity shop in Glebelands, Johnston . Asyou will see from the regular adverts appearing in the CommunityDiary we have been operating it ever since. It is run by our unpaidvolunteers and as no-one is on a salary we have been able as a resultto donate in excess of 120,000 to support Christian and communityprojects at home and overseas.

Locally the Boardwalk Group and the Village Hall have received fundsand so have other Pembrokeshire groups working with the homeless,providing debt counselling services and foodbanks

Thanks to all who provide goods and support us. There is easyparking outside the shop , which is across the road from the newNISA store . If you would wish to volunteer a few hours each weekthen do get in touch.
