LOOKING FOR SOMEWHERE FREE TO TAKE THE KIDS?

By
Looking for somewhere free to take the kids next weekend? The Waterlooville Summer Fete is on Sunday 20th August. Entry is free and whilst there are commercial activities such as a funfair, Bouncy Castles, Bungee Trampoline etc.. there are also lots of things they can do for FREE.
They can learn the Samba drums or Circus skills, Play laser quest with the Peter Ashley activity centre, Pet the animals in the mobile farm, create giant bubbles, try virtual reality with O2 and ...much more.
We have plenty for the whole family with 75 stalls, a full programme in our arena, a Dog show (run by Downlands vetinerary practice - with all proceeds to Hounds for Heroes), Classic cars and Solent Renegades.
Come and stay for the day we have plenty of food options - Burgers, Ice-cream, Hog roast, Jacket potatoes, Donuts, Wood fired Pizza and pop up tea room for tea and cakes. We even have a bar!


I would be surprised if you could find a free event in the area with as much going on and so many free activities.
Do come along for a great day out!

VANDALISED XMAS LIGHTS IN WATERLOOVILLE

By
Who are the 'low life' who hate Waterlooville so much that they don't want festive lighting in the precinct? The volunteers from the Events team have spent a lot of money and time to try and make Waterlooville look festive but having seen what some 'people' think about it makes you wonder why we bother. Today we went to change the batteries in the tree lights as some were not working. The reason was that the battery casings had been torn/cut off so the lights no longer worked. Councillor Mike Sceal went into the tree by Nat West to locate a connection further up and managed to connect another casing in the tree, but the lights in the tree by Lloyds bank could not be fixed. If you see something untoward or if you see the lights not working let us know. We had hoped to put battery lights in all the trees in Waterlooville precinct next year but if they are to be vandalised is it worth it??

FESTIVE LIGHTS, NONE FOR WATERLOOVILLE!

By
Some of you may have read previous blogs as I have tried to work my way through the bureaucracy of licensing and installation for festive lights in the town centre.  In fairness the paperwork has been easier (was started in JUNE!) mainly because a lovely lady called Katie in Havant Borough Council has been helping me. So why am I saying there will be no festive lights in Waterlooville this year?  Scottish and Southern Electrics SSE!!   We have to get permission to hang the motifs from their lighting columns (also know as lamp posts!)  To do that we have to get an installer approved by them!! Our installer from last year retired and we had to find a new one.  To hang, plug in and flick a switch on  8 motifs, put the lights in the Xmas tree, plug in and flick a switch, and also hang some battery powered lights in the trees (and remove)   Our first quote COST £3500  Which we felt was excessive. We did find a local installer, Cl...
