NAME that room...with the pending relaunch of the Coach and Horses autumn Hampshire Fare menu, mine hosts Chris and Kelly are holding a competition to find a new name for the restaurant!

Suggestions can be derived from the pub's name, from Rotherwick village history or completely random. The winner will receive a free three-course evening meal for four people at the launch party, including a glass of champagne on arrival, £50 bar spend and the chance to have their name immortalised on the restaurant name plaque!

All entries must be submitted by this Monday, with name, legible contact details and the reasons behind your choice.

Check out the website for further details on www.coachandhorsespub.co.uk and get whip-cracking!

COME one, come all... to the fun of the fair! Can't believe it's that time of year again (doesn't time fly when you're having fun?) when the annual Rotherwick gift fair kicks off the Christmas shopping season.

Our tireless organisers have worked very hard to bring a host of unusual top London and country merchandise right to our doorstep next Thursday, October 2 (please note the change of day!) Doors open at 10am at Rotherwick Village Hall. Admission is £4, in aid of the League of Friends at Odiham Cottage Hospital.

Make your present list, bring a friend and join us for lunch!
