Ballroom Dancing Lessons for Beginners - at Chidham Village Hall
With all the recent excitement surrounding the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing on BBC TV, I would like to establish if there is any support and enthusiasm for Ballroom Dancing lessons for beginners  at Chidham & Hambrook Village Hall. I know a couple who are excellent instructors, Brian & Doreen Mitchell www.simply-dancing.co.uk Given sufficient local interest, I'm sure they would be happy to conduct a course at our Village Hall. Charges for an hour's tuition followed by 45mins practise are currently £6 per person. Practice is everything and once we have learnt the basic steps we could set up our own weekly Tea Dance (with the help of the WI?) to reinforce our skill and technique. I think a 10-12 week course would be very instructive. It would also be a great social occasion to meet up with other people locally and have fun!
If you agree with me, could you send me an email at johnwingrove@compuserve.com and express an interest. I will then invite Brian & Doreen to conduct the course. I need to know your preference Ballroom, Latin, Salsa, Jive etc?  Will you attend as a couple or an individual? Would you prefer evenings or afternoons? Thanks for your help and looking forward to a good response.
Regards, John Wingrove

Stray Dog - area of Scant Road West

We are concerned to find a white dog with a black patch over one eye is scavenging for food each morning in our garden in Scant Road West.  We think the dog is stray and we are concerned for its welfare.  We have tried to catch it to take it to a rescue centre to keep safe,  but we have not yet managed to, however  we will keep trying.  Has anyone else seen this dog and is having the same problem?

If this dog is owned locally please can you keep it in your garden to prevent it fouling in your neighbours gardens.
From a local resident.

Dog Mess and plastic bags - take it home!
Most dog owners are responsible about cleaning up after their pets. But there are a few who cheat, hoping not to be found out. These are the people who put the dog mess into a plastic bag, but don't dispose of it responsibly. When they think no one is watching, they put the bag in the hedge. If this is what you do, don't.
It's disgusting, anti social, and you should be ashamed of yourself. Dog ownership has its responsibilities and cleaning up after your dog is one of them

Let’s Make Chidham a Fair Trade Community

Fair Trade products guarantee a better deal for Third World producers. There are now well over 1,500 products and goods that carry the Fair Trade kite mark of which tea, coffee and chocolate are the most popular. If we made Chidham a Fair Trade community, it would mean that these and other Fair Trade products would be more freely available to those who wish to purchase fairly traded items. And there are easy ways to do this.

If there were enough people interested, we could have a number of Fair Trade points of contact throughout the community – maybe a Fair Trade point of sale in every road. At the moment there is a campaign in Chichester to make Chichester a Fair Trade Town . But we could be doing something much more local by making our own Chidham community area a Free Trade community.

If you like the idea, then why not contact me: philip.macdougall@btinternet.com

Volunteers - Litter clearance

Experience shows that voluntary effort can keep on top of the litter problem.
Volunteers in Chidham and Hambrook collect litter in their own locality. We just have to pick it up faster than they throw it down! This is not as bad as it sounds because in fact very few people throw down litter. Its just that if we don't pick it up it hangs around for a long time disfiguring our environment .
A 'picking stick' for picking up the litter is an essential tool, and makes an otherwise tiring and distasteful job a practical task that we can all do.
Alastair Woolley, a parish councillor, coordinates the effort and can supply picking sticks for people prepared to make a regular effort to remove litter from their locality.
