Havant Thicket Visit

A visit by Havant Rotarians and guests to view and have updated information on the Havant Thicket project. Havant Thicket Reservoir is first and foremost an environmentally-led project. Its purpose is to protect some of our country’s rarest chalk streams – the River Test and the River Itchen. Southern Water, which supplies our neighbours in West Sussex and Hampshire, is taking steps to protect these rivers by reducing the amount of water it takes from them. This means it needs to find new sustainable sources of water to maintain water supplies to its customers in the Hampshire region. Portsmouth Water is in a position to help with this major challenge. This is because of the large number of natural springs in the Havant area which provide 30 per cent of the company’s water. These springs deliver a high quality, sustainable supply of water all year round and are thought to be the largest individual source of spring water in Europe.

Visit To Stan and Mary’s Garden

The Homestead

Once again Stan and Mary Pike have invited us to a Tea Party in their beautiful garden. Parking will again be in the field behind the house with entry to the field being through a gate opposite the Langstone Hotel. It will be clearly marked. Stan and Mary will provide tea and cakes but if you also wish to provide cakes, this would be be most welcome. This event will be run as previous years with donations being for the National Gardens Scheme. This organisation supports several charities including Macmillan Nurses and Marie Curie Nurses. Last year NGS raised £3.1M from over 3500 garden events. A donation of £10 a head would provide a reasonable sum to send to them.
