The judge, Sue Sibley, loved the image by Malcolm Richardson and said that it showed fantastic imagination. Brian Whittaker took second place with
Left Behind and third place went to Jean Dalton with
Dawn at the Beach. Both of Malcolm’s other entries received Seals of Merit; another of Brian’s entries received a Seal; Roy Lambeth received two Seals and further Seals of Merit were awarded to Ian Whatmore, Margaret Cooper, Mary Gardiner and Peter Wood. In the primary category John Allen took first place with
The Deep Hull; the judge said that the colours on the side or the building were beautiful due to the good timing of the lighting.
A MOVEMENT that started in mainland Europe, was piloted in 1992 by local historian Lesley Burton and the Gosport Society has mushroomed nationally and led ultimately to the launch in Winchester of a new organization, the Hampshire History Trust (HHT). Spearheaded by Nicky Gottlieb and Becky Brown, it started five years ago as the Winchester Heritage Open Day (actually growing to 10 days), which was so successful that it has now triggered a much more ambitious plan to create a county-wide, history-based organization. HODs originally began by offering free visits to places that people might not normally visit – such as museums and galleries – and others that are not normally open. The aim was to showcase and present new ideas to communities, so, anyone could be a ‘tourist for a day’. Since then, it has developed into much more, with guided walks and visits, talks, exhibitions, workshops, and children’s activities.
Romsey Festival is returning for 2021
ROMSEY residents can still look forward to the town s festival this year. The 2021 Romsey Festival will open with a flag raising ceremony at the Abbey on Friday July 2, with a full programme of events running from the Saturday. Normally held every three years, this is the twelfth to be organised by an all-volunteer team of local residents. Due to UK Government extension of Covid regulations there needed to be some changes to our extensive programme. Concerts and free exhibitions in Romsey Abbey are not affected as access is organised on basis of current regulations, using half the buildings capacity to ensure appropriate distancing between different households attending concerts.
