The show features displays from aviation history ? including displays by the WWII Hawker Hurricane and four-engined Lancaster, mind blowing performances from the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Red Arrows ? great by day, hours of flying fascination and enchanting by night with fabulous hospitality and entertainment throughout. www.bournemouthair.co.uk

The New Forest Show?s 90th Anniversary
The 90th 2010 New Forest and Hampshire County Show was held at New Park, Brockenhurst, right in the heart of the New Forest.
A fantastic milestone in the Show?s history, providing events, entertainment, and all the traditional country pursuits that agricultural Shows are famous for. This was also an opportunity to reminisce over past years, with a marquee full of memorabilia from back when it was a one day show and all the animals competing were tied up along a line of ropes! Now of course the annual country show, (one of the top 10 agricultural shows in the country) has over 1500 classes for livestock including many prestigious national and international events alongside thrilling displays, and delightful refreshments. www.newforestshow.co.uk

Explore the academy, which was the first venue to be completed for the 2012 Olympics, and was also short listed for the 2010 Sport Industry Award 'Sport Venue of the Year'. Make yourself at home in the restaurant or café and be sure to spend some quality time on the deck admiring the stunning scenery ? even perhaps after a day on the water!
Why not try sailing at the 2012 sailing venue? A two-day course = adult £180 and child £170.

THE MILL AT GORDLETON
Everything is home-made, and awarded the New Forest Marque, the Mill is charming. Do book for Sunday lunch as it's somewhat of a local passion! Alfresco dining is encouraged by the staff but not necessarily by the weather. Game, fish and red meat in equal proportions with a well positioned wine list. Delightful.
www.themillatgordleton.co.uk
URBAN BEACH AND URBAN REEF
Both in Boscombe, Bournemouth, and both respected leaders in this market – i.e. surfy and casual propositions. UB, a worthy menu with cocktail bar, funky staff and rooms. With views of the controversial surf reef, good food, fun service and both sit well in this market and have contributed significantly to local regeneration. Stylin'.

COMPETITIONS - THE RULES
1. These terms and conditions (“Rules”) apply to all competitions, prize draws, games, votes, promotions or any other similar commercial offering (“competition”) by or on behalf of Eastwick Publishing Ltd (“we”, “our” or “Eastwick”). By entering into a competition, each entrant (“you” or “your”) is deemed to have read the Rules and to have agreed to be bound by them, together with any special rules, prize descriptions or instructions expressly stated to apply to any particular competition (“Special Rules”). In the event of any inconsistency between the Rules and Special Rules, the Special Rules shall prevail. An entry for the purpose of these rules includes making a vote.
2. Except where stated otherwise in Special Rules, our competitions are open to residents of the UK aged 18 years or over at the closing date of the competition. If Special Rules allow entry by persons below the age of 18, permission from a parent or guardian must be obtained.
3. Competitions are not open to our employees, the competition sponsors or anyone else connected with the competition, or the immediate families or agents of the foregoing. We have the right to verify the eligibility and identity of any entrant, including by means of a passport or driving licence and utility bill.
4. Entries must be made only by the methods allowed in Special Rules. Only one entry per person (or per telephone or mobile number, email address, household or postal address as appropriate) is allowed, unless otherwise stated in Special Rules. Where entry to a competition is by premium rate telephone call or text, details of costs will be given.
5. Entries must be legible (or audible as the case may be) and correctly spelt, and must be made on the official form, if there is one, or the official page of the relevant website. Entries must include the entrant’s name, address, email address and telephone number where requested. By entering the competition, you confirm that all information submitted by you is true, current and complete. We may reject any incomplete, illegible, altered, corrupted or multiple entry or any entry which is otherwise in breach of the Rules.

7. We shall appoint the judge(s) of any competition. Where required by law or regulation there shall be at least one independent judge. The guiding principle is fairness: if the judge concludes that there has been unfairness, deceit or misinformation in an entry or the conduct of the competition, entries may be declared invalid or adjusted, the competition may be voided or the Rules and Special Rules changed, in any such case to achieve fairness. If no entries reach a required standard, prizes may not be awarded. In the event of any error affecting the competition, whether printing, technological or otherwise, the judge shall have discretion to continue the competition as if the error had not occurred. In all matters, including tie-breakers, the decision of the judge(s) or Eastwick (as the case may be) shall be final and unchallengeable. No correspondence or discussion shall be entered into.
8. If the competition requires the collection of tokens or vouchers, only originals are valid. No tokens or vouchers will be redeemable for cash. If payment is required for entry, each entry must be accompanied by the appropriate entry fee or proof of purchase, as appropriate.
9. The winner(s) will be chosen in accordance with the Special Rules, subject to the exercise of the judge’s residual discretion. A competition draw shall take place on the date as stated in the Special Rules and the winner(s) shall be the first entry(ies) drawn at random from all qualifying entries. Otherwise, where appropriate, the judge will examine all entries and award the prize to the entry(ies) the judge considers the best. A tie breaker may be conducted to determine an outright winner where necessary. If for any reason, whether foreseen or not, there are more winners than there are prizes, the judge may conduct a draw to choose the final winner(s).
10. Where we are unable to contact a winner within a reasonable period, or any prize cannot be taken up or is declined or returned undelivered, a substitute winner may be drawn or chosen (as the case may be) at our discretion without further notice to the original winner, and the original winner shall cease to be eligible for the prize or any alternative and shall have no claim against us, the judges, the competition sponsor or their respective agents.
11. Eastwick and any competition sponsor may publish or broadcast your name, details and/or photographs for promotional purposes in any medium and you are required to co-operate with any reasonable request to take part in publicity for the competition, your entry or the prize. The names of winners may be published by us (including online at the website address given in the Special Rules) or will be available on request by writing to the postal address in the Special Rules, specifying the competition and including a self-addressed and stamped envelope. Prize winners shall not without our prior written consent make public or disclose to other media representatives any information in connection with the competition or the prize.
12. A substitute prize of similar or greater value may be given should any prize become unavailable for a reason beyond our control. Cash or credit alternatives will not be offered and prizes are not transferable. Dates, destinations and other specific prize details are subject to availability.
