Dear Readers

Hi there, I hope you are all still enjoying the lovely weather. Good weather is always a double edged sword, the Sunshine helps to promote that feel good factor but unfortunately for the joy of having a few weeks of sunshine at the wrong time of year, causes our farmers and wildlife major problems. Crops dont grow, streams and rivers dry up or get very low, animals and birds, domestic or wild begin to suffer. Weve had some rain off and on lately, but not enough yet. Maybe we will have April showers turning up in June! Someone said to me once, It would be great if it just rained at night and let the sun shine through the day. Would that help, I dont know, it would certainly upset anyone or any animals who were out only at night! Since we are now into summer there are many local events taking place, keep your eyes peeled for dates on our notice board. Although not a weather pun, there seems to be a couple of clouds hovering over the area, we have the fight against the high speed train cutting across between Ladbroke and Southam on route to Birmingham and the wind farm proposed for Knightcote. Wind power is a good idea, however, I think that, as we are an island, surely it is better to build them a mile off the coast where people dont have to hear the swoosh of the turbine props at the end of their road. Take care until next time. Nicki

Down the Garden Path

- Summer should have arrived at last and gardeners can start to enjoy their gardens with much of the heavy work completed. Beware however, as there is still time for late frosts which can still harm tender bedding and vegetables early in the month. This month has the year's longest day and can be described as the flower garden month as roses, herbaceous plants and summer bedding really start to put on a marvelous show now. The downside is that weeds and grass grow just as quickly, making weeding and mowing one of the gardener's main activities.

Petes Piece
cape gooseberries, etc. All of these can now be planted in pots or growbags under glass.

June

to newly planted trees and shrubs now can cause plants to fail not only now but also later in the year.

Patio Pots and Hanging Baskets Now is the time to be planting those pots, tubs and hanging baskets for vivid splashes of colour throughout the summer. A full range of bedding and basket plants are in stock at Farnborough Garden Centre, together with a massive selection of pots and planters together with hanging baskets and liners in many styles and materials. The garden pond can be stocked or restocked this month with both plants and snails. Farnborough Garden Centre now stocks a full range of water plants and moisture-loving plants together with water snails and freshwater mussels. Planting containers and aquatic compost are also available. If you haven't room for a full-size pond, come and look at our water features and fountains to give that lovely sound of running water in the garden. Continue to plant vegetable plants outdoors such as cabbage, sprouts, leeks, onions, marrows, runner beans, French beans etc. If you don't have a vegetable plot, try mixing some of these in flowerbeds or containers for that extra special taste of home-grown vegetables later in the year.

Plants looking good now:Flowers and scent - Viburnum,

Lavenders, Roses

Monthly Reminders
Roses
- Pests and diseases now begin to attack in the warm moist conditions and checks should be made regularly to decide if spraying is required. The chemicals available have diminished, but some organic or biological controls are also available. Deadhead flowers as they die back to encourage new buds. - Prune deciduous flowering shrubs as they finish flowering to keep in shape and encourage new growth that will flower next year. Remove old and dead wood first, then trim to shape, etc. Shrubs to keep an eye on for pruning include: lilac, deutzia, philadelphus, weigela and kolkwitzia, etc. It is still a good time to plant container-grown trees and shrubs, but please remember to water frequently and copiously, especially during dry spells. Lack of adequate water

Flowers

Foliage - Japanese Acers, Conifers, Hebes,

Trees and Shrubs

Vegetables -

June is one of the most colourful months in the garden and a time when gardeners can spend time to appreciate their efforts throughout the winter and spring. There is still plenty of time to add to the herbaceous border or herb bed, etc and the stocks of plants and sundries at Farnborough Garden Centre are probably at their biggest at this time of year.
We hope to see you visit us soon if only to sample the farmhouse ice cream or choose a cuddly or collector's Teddy Bear.

Greenhouses

- A wide range of vegetables for greenhouse use are now on sale at the Garden Centre including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, melons,

Southam Cricket Club

Despite heavy rain, Southams 1st XI fixture proceeded unhindered at Old Road on Saturday. Unbeaten pre season, Southam were confident of success despite visitors Four Oaks Saints being tipped as potential champions. The Southam bowlers struggled with an early onslaught from Hewitt(33) but inexpensive spells from Greg Neale, Jordan Calcutt and Tom Wilkins never entirely put the visitors in control. A most fortunate 77 from Baynes Ridgeway, clean bowled first ball by Pilgrim, only for it to be adjudged no ball, set the tone for the remainder of the innings. Four Oaks eventually fumbling to 233 for 8, with Coel Mahoney returning 4 for 39 from 8 overs. Southams reply was edgy and the early loss of both Wiggley and Calcutt at 12-2 had the home side wondering if it would be their day. Only Simon Heath (27) stood tall in the face of former Walmley pace man Hamza Nadeem. The ex Birmingham Premier League bowler was surprisingly inert in the afternoon sun and the arrival of Mahoney (49) steadied the ship. The arrival of leg spinner Khatkar, shifted the balance in favour of the vistors, his 3 for 25 leaving Southam in trouble at 145 for 7. A gritty 34 not out from Nelly (injured in the first over of the day) promised to see Southam to the losing draw figure of 174. But the re-introduction of Nadeem in the dark was too much for the Southam tail which finally succumed on the last ball of the innings, handing victory and 24 points to Four Oaks. Southams 2nd XI fixture was reduced to 45 overs apiece following heavy rain. Winning the toss and electing to field, the early combination of Horleys slow left arm and Henry Wilkins pace, consistently asked questions of the Four Oaks batsmen with only Beattie(26) and Fowler(35) finding double figures. Wilkins finished with an outstanding 3 for 44. Support from veteran Ian Ward (2-28), Adam Heath (2-16) and sharp fielding that included two run outs, left Four Oaks with a meagre total of 121, all out in only 42 overs. Southams reply faltered with the first three wickets falling for only 23 runs. The innings was steadied by skipper Tom Russell, building on his pre season form he eventually fell to Minhas for 60. Horley(22), S Jones and Ward finally scrambling to the total of 122 for 7 in the 34th over. A victory nonetheless over last seasons champions and the side is boyed for the visit of Walsall YMF.

Cardalls Corner - June

On June 2nd 1896, Marconi was granted a patent for wireless telegraphy and the age of radio began. To receive a transmission a great deal of apparatus was needed, such as loudspeakers, lightning conductors, headphones, crystal sets and gramophone horns. The wireless horn in the Cardall Collection was made in Rugby by British Thomas Houston - reputed to be pioneers of wireless technology. The Collection also includes a recording by the late Jim Fitchett relating how exciting it was when his school first acquired a wireless set in the early 1920s. Schoolmaster Mr Linley organised a collection to buy the equipment and the boys collected pennies and shillings until about 50 was raised. An amateur enthusiast made the set, but an aerial was needed, so Mr Linley asked the owners of Stoneythorpe Hall for some trees. Two classes of schoolboys helped with the work -

Listening to The Wireless by Helen Morris

they felled the trees and carried the tree trunks to the school, hoisted them up with ropes, fitted them into the holes they had dug and set them in concrete. To get the battery recharged, Mr Dencer the Headmaster made regular trips on his motorbike to the Cement Works with a boy riding pillion, holding the battery on his lap. Many local people had helped pay for the wireless, so on special occasions such as the Grand National, the school was opened up for anyone to come in and listen to the broadcast. The Cardall Collection contains many historic artefacts, documents and photographs relating to Southam and surrounding villages.

Warwick University Big Band will be back again, by popular demand, to play during the afternoon and the children from the school will give a Maypole Dancing Display. There will be a variety of stalls to tempt everyone including the ever popular bric a brac, books, cakes, bottles, toys, jewellery, country kitchen and plants. A drink from the Pimms bar will refresh you before you try all the other attractions from football to face painting, from 'hooking a duck' to finding the treasure, And, of course, delicious ice creams and teas with home made cakes will be available all afternoon.

Wind Turbines
Local MP Jeremy Wright has been on a fact-finding trip to a wind farm in Cambridgeshire which has made him even more determined to fight plans for a similar development at Knightcote. Mr Wright, whose Kenilworth and Southam constituency covers Knightcote, visited a 12-turbine site near Huntingdon. One thing is inescapable, he said after the visit, These turbines are huge structures which utterly devastate the immediate landscape and, because they move and because of their colour, they draw the eye. Finding the right location for wind turbines is not just about the amount of wind available but also about the damage they do to views of the spectacular countryside. In general, I believe that wind turbines should be offshore, not inland, where visual impacts are less and the strength of the wind greater. The company wanting to build the wind farm at Knightcote, Broadview, has already won, on appeal, permission to erect a 60-metre high measuring mast. Local action group Feldon Residents Against Wind farm Turbines (FRAWT) is fighting

Volunteer Services, Voluntary Action Stratford-on-Avon District (VASA) We are in urgent need of volunteer drivers in Southam and surrounding villages. This vital service helps mainly older people, with a genuine need for transport to attend their appointments at Hospitals, Doctors, Dentists , Opticians and Day Centres. We average around 3000 passenger trips a year in the Southam area and this service is very much appreciated as the people would often not be able to get to Hospitals in Coventry, Warwick, Rugby, Birmingham etc., without our assistance. The local appointments are equally important especially in isolated villages. Volunteer drivers can help as much or little as they would like and we work around what they can offer even if it was on an occasional basis or half day a week. The mileage rate is 45p per mile for authorised journeys. Our Southam Office is based at The Grange, Coventry Road, Southam and we have an excellent volunteer office team that covers the office 5 mornings a week. We work as a Team and welcome new volunteers. Wheel Chair Short Term Loan Service We also hold wheel chairs at our Southam Office up to one months loan, free of charge, but do appreciate a donation. Our Southam telephone number is 01926 817525 - A.M. only. If you require any further information I would be pleased to have a chat with you.

Southam of Yesteryear
My article last month in which a mention was made of Southams Town Band; has resulted in further information that I think warrants mention. I had been told that as a young chap Stewart Pittom was in the band, so when I met Stewart out side the Co-Op, it was a golden opportunity to find out more about the towns musical past. Although it carried the town name, its members were not all Southam folk, they coming from the surrounding villages. Some Southam members he mentioned were the three Lea brothers who lived up Abbey Lane, and Mr. Priest; perhaps living in Old Road. Within five minutes of leaving Stewart, I met a lady who was in infants school with me, now Mrs. Gillian Flowers but formerly Gill Usher. She had just come from Southam Office Supplies; where the Advertiser is compiled and produced, after having a photograph of the band re printed. Within that photograph was her dad who I think was standing next to Mr. Ron Cleals dad; whom I mentioned in last months issue of the Advertiser. During my chat with Stewart, he could not speak too highly of the band master Mr. Thomas Whites musical abilities. He, Stewart, said that their was no musical instrument he, Thom; could not play, many of which had no place in a silver band, they, being instruments of the orchestra. Mr.Cardalls Blue Ping Band being the closest Southam ever came to having an orchestra. Stewart recalled that at one Southam band concert; Thom entertained those listening, with a violin number, played on a carpenters saw. Stewart also said that those who could play an instrument and who wished to join the band, were auditioned in Thoms stone masons shed that stood in his stone masons yard. It being close by to the Napton Road bridge, and on the town side of the River bank. After a telephone chat with Stewart two days later; he recalled the following band members of the early 1950s. Mr Peter Hewer whose father kept the flower beds in good order down Coventry Street. Now under tarmac and grass, and used as little more than an extension to the foot path. If Mr. Hewer saw you put a foot on his pride and joy, he would chase you with his broom, shouting, I know who you are and I will tell your dad. How things have changed. Mr. Bernard Rawbone was also a band member. His dad, Len, who worked for Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft at Baginton; were I did my apprenticeship; was the head man, collecting the fairs for Mr. Aston of Marton, whose coaches took us and many others from villages around, who worked at AWA. The workforces when I started being around 11,000. Mr.Vic Hodges was a band member, Victor Hodges House being named after him. A Mr. Jack Baldwin whos nickname was Killer and I believe resided on Tattle Bank. A Mr. Hodges who I believe was a rope maker, whose son Ken was a car salesman with Soans of Leamington Spa.

Another band member was Mr . Joe Best who lived on Welsh Road East at the Gas House. This being the gas works managers house when Southam was producing its own gas. Joe running a coal coke and general haulage business from there. Two other Southam men were given to me as Mr Morgan and his son Ken ; they I believe lived on Banbury Road on the left as you pass over Browns Bridge. Not all Southam town band members were from Southam. I understand that Mr. Jim Rathbone from Southam was a member as was two of his family members from Napton. A Mr. Jase Windsor from Long Itchington who was a special constable and ran a small musical group in Long Itchington is the last man that I know of. Before continuing, I should mention that the Long Itchington cement works, when owned by Mr. Lister Kaye had its very own band, as did Bishops Itchington. Some information has come my way from a Mr. Kenneth Owen, who is a member of the Leamington History group, and is in the process of collecting information on

Continued from page 16
Warwickshire Bands for a forthcoming book. Starting in 1955, the following account is given. In the course of 1955 the band lost two prominent members, Mr. Sidney Cooper who passed away in the Warnford Hospital at Leamington Spa in the first week of June; and then Mr. Phil Hope aged 48. Both men having been active band members over many years. Phil Hope lived close to us at the mill; he living at Teviot Lodge as still does his daughter Dorothy. She in the passing of time is now Mrs. Dorothy Warner. Her husband Rex being a member of the Warner family that I think have lived in Stockton for many generations. At a meeting held in the Black Dog on Tuesday November 29th; under the watchful eye of Mr. J J Brown, presiding in the absence of the band President Mr. C. Borne; the band secretary Mr. Hall, most likely Mr. Phil, said that the band had not met since May. This as a result of the death of band members, and several having moved to pastures new. An effort had been made to seek help from member of the Bishops Itchington band, but this proved to be a complete failure. With reference to the Bishops Itchington band; as I know nothing about it, I am in no position to write any details, other than to give it a mention. At a band meeting at the Black Dog , the treasurer Mr. G Timms, reported a balance in hand of six pounds three shillings and four pence. This in present day currency

would be six pounds and seventeen pence. Due to inflation this would now be worth one hundred and seven pounds and forty eight pence. There had been neither incomes from engagements or dances, neither outgoing on music or instruments. A suggestion was made to holding a dance in January 1956, to supplement the cash in hand; this then moved on to the sad thought of closing the band down. At that point, it was decided to leave this major decision for a future date. I guess they were hoping that the passing of time would see a change in the bands fortunes However, the passing of time proved this was not to be. At that time, the bands major concern was to find a new band master. It was also decided to try and locate all the ex band members that were still in possession of uniforms and to have all instruments brought to a general meeting to be held in the near future. Officers elected for the forthcoming year were; President Mr. C.W. Bourne, Vice presidents Rev. R T Murray, J.J. Brown, and Mr. A.V. Hodges. Joint Bandmasters were Mr. S. Rathbone and Mr. Alan Reading. Secretary was given as Mr. G. Hall and Treasurer Mr. G. Timms. With reference to Mr. G. Hall; this may have been Mr. Phil Hall as he was one of the main stays of the band. His son Gerald was also a band member, but as of then he would still be a young man. Maybe he was the Secretary, but as Mr. Phil was the office secretary for Brewster Bros; my thoughts are that he was the most likely candidate for that position. Early in January, on Saturday the twelfth, the much respected Mr. Thomas Charles Frederick White past away at the age of 81 years. His funeral being on the

following Wednesday. Thomas as previously mentioned, had been a member of various bands all his life; many of those being as Band Master of Southams Town Band. He retiring from that post in December 1953. His retirement would appear to be the start of the bands slide to oblivion. There was no further reports of the band after 1956. In 1959, it was mentioned at a Parish Council meeting that they were having problems finding storage for the instruments of the former town band. At a meeting on Thursday 26th of November; it was reported that there was sufficient storage available at the library, and that the librarian was agreeable to the storage. The library then was in what are now shops to the left side of Budgens; with the Court House door facing you. An application was made to the Magistrates Court Committee, to obtain there permission. At a meeting of Southam Parish Council on Thursday 30th June 1960, it was reported that a letter was received from the County Civil Defence Officer. This granted the Council their permission for the use of a room at Southams Civil Defence Headquarters for the storage of instruments of the late Town Band; since the Band\s disbandment. It was resolved that a letter of thanks be sent to Mr. L.E. Amor for his help in finding storage for the late bands instruments. That would appear to be the end of the band, and my last post blowing my own trumpet on its demise. I wish to express my thanks to Mr. Kenneth Owen, for information incorporated in this article. As previously mentioned, he is collecting information on Warwickshire Bands for a future book. Should anyone have information that would help him; he can be contacted at Leamingtons history group; or through me via the good offices of the Southam District Advertiser within Southam Office Supplies. Now having a rest, before deciding what to write about next month Regards to all. Bill Griff.

Pet Corner
Behind the Scenes
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in a modern veterinary surgery? One of the most common comments we have when we show people around the surgery is Wow its just like a hospital! And of course that is exactly what it is. A modern small animal veterinary centre will have a team of qualified nurses and support staff who look after the specialised areas of the surgery to ensure that the vets have everything they need at a moments notice to treat the wide range of medical condition and pets that come in every day. A fast and accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment and vets match their skill and experience with high tech diagnostic tools such as Digital x-ray, ultra sound, endoscopy and a variety of blood and urine laboratory tests. Having the equipment on-site means that results are available fast. The surgery will have a Prep room where pets are anaesthetised prior to surgery and small operations take place. Major surgery is performed in a separate and sterile theatre under strict hygiene protocols. You will see vets wearing surgical gowns, clogs, hats, gloves and masks and as with human surgery you should expect a newly autoclaved sterile surgical pack of drapes and instruments to be opened for each procedure. Just like on TV the nurse monitor pets vital signs throughout their surgery using electronic equipment and their skill and experience. Modern pharmaceutical development has meant that the drugs and anesthetics used are more specific and pets have a quicker, more comfortable recovery.
In the recovery kennels a nurse will be doing observations rounds throughout the day, taking heart and respiration rates, temperatures and monitoring behaviour. The kennels are small to discourage sick pets from too much activity but are warm and secure and the kennels nurse spends much of her time ensuring that each pet gets plenty of TLC. Like a hospital maintaining hygiene is vital.

4 The Cobalt Centre, Kineton Road, Southam CV47 0FD Tel:01926 812826
Each surgery gets through a mountain of laundry each day and has to follow strict procedures for cleaning equipment and disposing of waste. Veterinary staff do a lot of cleaning! On a day to day basis you will generally just see the waiting and consult rooms but most vets are happy to show you around provided your visit wont interfere with ongoing surgical procedures and practice open days are an ideal opportunity to find out more of what your vet offers. The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) who govern veterinary practice in the UK operate a Practice Standards Scheme to inform pet owners of the quality of their local veterinary surgery. Participating practices undergo a thorough inspection every four years and are awarded accreditation if they achieve the high standards set. If your surgery displays the RCVS accreditation you can be confident that your pet is getting the high level of care you would expect from your vet both in the consult room and behind the scenes.

Spring activities at Southam Gymnastics

Southam Gymnastics has had a very busy Spring Season.
On 3rd April a display team of 12 gymnasts entered Gymfactor, held at the Sports Centre in the Walsall Campus of Woverhampton University. The Event was open to Clubs throughout the West Midlands for display teams in all gymnastic disciplines & accross the full range of ability . Special effects including coloured spotlights, mist & dramatic music did not phase Brittany Lowe, Chloe Tamana, Bethanie Abbott, Savannah Palmer, Rhiannon Hawthorn, Chloe Brown, William Eadon, Ciara-Ella Askew, Summer Calcutt, Ben Leahy & Abbie Belcher who performed brilliantly. The music We Dont Speak Americano was selected by Chloe Tamana & expertly choreographed by Head Coach Karen Edwards. The Southam display proved to be so popular that it was the only performance with audience participation in the form of spontaneous clapping to the beat. Club Founder Member, Marion Childs said We didnt really know what to expect but Im so glad we entered, it was great to see our older gymnasts supporting our 6 & 7 year olds & the atmosphere was amazing. I received so many thank yous from parents that we will definitely enter again. The following Sunday saw gymnasts, coaches & volunteers from Southam Gymnastics hard at work again; this time hosting an InterClub Floor & Vault Competition at Southam College. The Competition attracted 151 gymnasts from 7 Clubs, Southam, Rugby, Leamington & Warwick, Daventry Phoenix, Harbury, Flix & Star Gymnastics. For many gymnasts it was their first opportunity to compete & there were just too many notable performances to describe them all. Congratulations to everyone who took part because for any child performing a vault & a floor routine individually in front of a judge takes a lot of courage & skill particularly if you are only 6 year olds Southam Medal Winners were as follows; 7 Year Olds B Routine Abbie Belcher Silver Medal - Total Score = 17.4 8 Year Olds B Routine Emily Harrison B Routine Gold Medal - Total Score = 17.5 8 Year Olds A Routine training more than an hour each week.

Southam United Bowls Club

May as always has been a very busy time. We began the season with a Bowls Drive blessed with good weather; the eventual winner was Fran Padbury who also won the opening spider. Heather Tredgold was second and our new member from Napton, Doreen Cole, picked up the booby. Two friendly matches resulted in losing to Byfield and winning against Warwickshire County Council. Thank you Roger and Mal for undertaking to organise the first few friendly matches. The Courier lads have had a poor start, losing 8 nil at home to Shipston Sports, obtaining a draw at Fenny Compton and losing again at home to Norgren. The Ladies have played three matches, winning against Wellesbourne but lost to both Lillington and Rugby Thornfield. We began our Kineton League campaign at home to Wellesbourne where we shared the points, a very good 8 points resulted in our first trip to Chipping Campden, but we were only able to gain 2 points on our visit to Fenny Compton. The National Competitions are now underway in the Two Fours the men had a very good win against a strong Little Compton team and now travel to Welfordon-Avon. In the Mens Top Club we played Snitterfield away, Kevin won his Singles, Dave and George won the Pairs, Aubrey Ted and Roger were successful in the Triples. Richard Denis, Brian and Pete were one behind in the Fours but the opposition then conceded knowing the result of the match was beyond them. Ken lost a very close 2 Wood. We now play Leamington Spa in the next round. On Sunday the 15th our Football Section ran a fundraising day for Help the Heroes. The Bowl Section organised two fun competitions on the green. Thank you Heather and Ken for helping Chris and George with this event. At 50p a go we were very pleased to raise 66. Ken recently played Bill Port from Leamington in the Champion of Champions; he unfortunately lost a very close game 21/17. We have two sad occasions to report, our founder member Ron Shippey recently passed away, Ron had been our President in 1989/90/91 also Club Captain in 1993. A good number of our members attended his funeral. A long time member Margaret Waterhouse also sadly died in early April again a good number of our members attended the service. Plaques for both of these long serving friends of the Club will be placed on our Memorial Bench. On Friday the 20th and 27th of May we held two open evenings and hope to be able to report next month that these were successful. We again appeal to anyone of any age to come and join in this pleasant pastime.

Southam United U11s

We are looking for sponsorship for next season...................
Southam United U11's have competed in the 'A' Division of The John Bryan Coventry Minor Football League for several years now, and after improving on their league positions every season, the management now feel it is time to test the players even further. This sterner test will be The Midland Junior Premier League. Testing their ability against teams from the Birmingham, Redditch, Leicester, Gloucester and possibly the Nottingham and Derby areas. The majority of our talented squad have been with the club since they were five years old - a fact that we're very, very proud of. We are looking for sponsorship which will cover a variety of things as we aim to make the team feel more professional with the step up in class. Sponsorship would go towards things such as tracksuits, mini bus hire cost cover, cover the cost of match/training fees, pre-match warm up t-shirts. If you are interested in being a part of an exciting new venture for Southam United U11's, please don't hesitate to contact myself on 07960 412347 / lee.constable@ btinternet.com
