CLUB, SOCIETY AND VILLAGE REPORTS
Great Mongeham Horticultural Society A goodly crowd arrived on 5th May to hear Richard Reynolds talk about ‘Guerilla Gardening’ most of us intrigued to know what that is!! Sadly, he never arrived and although rumours were flying around that he had been ‘ambushed by gorillas’, it turned out he had had a breakdown on the way to us. Meanwhile Chairman Keith reminded us of the great Potato Weigh In which takes place next month. Members were reminded to remove the green tops from their potatoes, to bring a clearly labelled bag or other receptacle for their harvest and to follow the committees instructions exactly. The reward for all their hard work will be a barbecue followed by the announcement of winners (and losers) in the hall. The raffle was drawn, refreshments were served before we all dispersed somewhat earlier than usual.
JB Saint Martin’s W.I Members discussed the resolution ‘Food must be labelled with the country of origin’ not just where it was packed or processed. The unanimous vote will be taken by the delegate to the Cardiff AGM in June. PSB . |

Great Mongeham Society What a meeting! Members welcomed PC Jenny Preston and her colleague Paul with their dogs. A brief introduction and history of Police working dogs then a demonstration of searching and finding drugs and money. Being a clear evening there was a demonstration outside of obedience, tracking and detaining. Many questions were asked and well answered. It was good to welcome many visitors to the meeting. PSB The Jan Anton Dance and Fitness Studio from Great Mongeham Village Hall were proud to have their little ballerinas pass Silver and Gold Cup classical ballet awards with Honours and Distinction. The children ranged from age 3 to 6 and all were praised by the examiner for their grooming, presentation and confidence. For the first time two of our special needs children also entered and passed their exam with Distinction. The examinations were held in Folkestone on Saturday, 8th May. The cups which are individually engraved with their names were presented together with the mark and comment sheets. The final certificate of registration honouring their achievement usually arrives with 3 weeks. These qualifications are part of the curriculum with the Council for Dance and Educational Training (CDET), and will be a part of their future education and entry into major Stage Schools if that is the path they choose in later life. The classes are fun, friendly and an incredible way to become fit and co-ordinated. We cover everything from classical ballet, gymnastics, mime and exercises to music with a bit of disco dancing thrown in for good measure. Youngsters from age 2 1/2 to 4 are held on Friday at 4 pm and 5 to 6 year olds at 4.45 pm to 5 pm. Special Needs Dance Club starts at 5.45 pm—all classes are £3.50. Keep Fit Classes for tums and bums are held on a Monday morning from 10.15 am to 1.15 am which is a great way to blow away the weekend and kick start your fitness. Ages range from twenties to eighties, all welcome— bring along a towel or mat.

With so much economic uncertainty, the district council has been re evaluating the corporate plan. This new report demonstrates how the council is meeting the challenges which it is faced with. Regeneration remains a key priority in both delivery of services and advocating investment by other agencies. Regeneration is seen as necessary to meet the demographic projections and health inequalities that face us. The financial pressures which are increasing lead the council on a path of more joint working with the other East Kent authorities so that we can turn aspirations into real delivery for the benefit of our residents. The report is available on the councils website at http://www.doverdc.co.uk/councillors/council_meetings/update/docs/agendacouncil190510a.pdf - its agenda item 17. Nick Kenton and Steve Manion
Traffic calming to go ahead in Great Mongeham At their meeting on 6th May, the Parish Council voted to go ahead with the pavement build out scheme at the Willows Road entrance to the village. This scheme was discussed fully at the Annual Parish meeting at the end of April and the council would like to thank all those parishioners who either took part in the discussion at the meeting or e-mailed their thoughts in advance. At the annual meeting there was a clear two to one vote in favour of the scheme and this was uppermost in the council’s mind when they took their decision. It is now hoped that the scheme can go ahead as soon as possible and that once it is implemented it will succeed in reducing both the speed and volume of traffic through the village. Terry Madgwick, Chairman, Great Mongeham Parish Council

The following E Mail has been received from Debbie Anderson—debsters@live.com I am researching my mother’s family—Brockman. Her grandmother Ada E Brockman moved to 1, White Bungalow, Great Mongeham around 1930, to be near her daughter Nellie who was married to Arthur H. Kemp. In 1946, Arthur and Nellie were at Sholden Bank House, noted from Ada’s death certificate. I was able to find names of children for Arthur and Nellie Kemp and wondered if any of their descendants still lived in the area?
Bernice Dance Group From Friday, 4th June Bernice will be in the Parish Hall with Sequence Dancing from 1.30 pm—3.30 pm every Friday except the fourth in the month. For further details telephone 01304 368020.
