Welcome...
October ISSUE 2014
....After the glorious Indian summer we have enjoyed in September, it’s all downhill for temperatures from here! October heralds crisp frosts, crunchy leaves underfoot and our wardrobes take on the cosier hues of autumn. The first chilly evenings and darker mornings make me think longingly about switching on the heating – but there are a few safeguards before you prepare to get those radiators chugging! Boilers need to be serviced every year, to ensure there are no dangerous gases seeping into our homes and to keep them working efficiently to keep the costs down. Solid fuel heating – whether a wood burner in the living room or cooker in the kitchen – needs the flue swept about now, before the cold weather gets underway, and may well need regular sweeping throughout the winter, depending on what you’re burning. Speak to your friendly local chimney sweep about the best maintenance plan for your home, to keep the fire crackling nicely and your family cosy and warm all season long. Until the November issue our warmest wishes to you all!

Tax Disc – the Remix! From October 1st, vehicle tax goes digital, with the familiar Tax Disc on display in your windscreen no longer a legal requirement. Here is our five-point checklist for everything you’ll need to know: • You’ll still have to tax your car, but there’s no disc to display • You’ll still get reminders when you need to renew your tax • You can now pay by monthly Direct Debit, to spread the cost • When you sell a car, the tax stops – the buyer has to re-tax it immediately and the seller gets a refund of any whole months of tax remaining • There’s all the advice and info you need online - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/vehicletax-changes

Ten Years Loyal Service to The Car Celebrations were the order of the day at The Care Bureau in Leamington Spa for Gill Hardwick, Emily Wainwright and Julie Brown. Directors John and Georgine Dunster presented the three staff with gifts, in recognition of their commitment and loyalty to the company for the last 10 years. Georgine Dunster commented “this is the third year in a row that we have celebrated 10 year anniversaries with members of our staff, we hope there will be many more, our staff are our greatest asset�. Gill Hardwick joined the company as an administrator and has witnessed many changes, playing a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth running of the office. Having witnessed the growth of the company from two to eight branches, Gill oversaw the training of Managers, Supervisors and Admin

Staff, contributing greatly to the development of The Care Bureau.
Gill, now a Senior Administrator, is always on hand to answer questions from other staff at Care Bureau offices needing advice. Emily Wainwright gained experience working in
Hospitality and Nursing homes before choosing a career with The Care Bureau, when she joined as a trainee Recruitment Consultant. “I loved the variety, each day was different. In those days we did most things manually, today it’s all computerised which is much easier!” Emily now leads her own team of recruitment consultants. “I would not have been able to continue with this role without the fantastic support of my staff and Lorraine, my Manager, this presentation was a lovely gesture.” Julie already had 8 years’ experience working in a hospital when she joined The Care Bureau. Julie chose The Care Bureau because she was able to work hours to suit her childcare responsibilities. “The Care Bureau has helped me maintain my employment while bringing up my children and through some serious health issues; they are all fantastic and very supportive. I remember when I joined, the training I got to do was brilliant, Georgine helped us all reach 100% of our ability and it’s still the same today.”

Online education – get a qualification from the comfort of your sofa!!

With distance learning courses, you are assigned a tutor who will discuss the course with you, mark your assignments and help with any concerns or queries you may have.

Brackley Town’s tough star
Email: info@winwoodroofing.com
Brackley Town's tough start in Vanarama Conference North continued as manager Jon Brady took his side to Chorley in Lancashire and entertained photographer B Martin pre-season favourites Guiseley from Leeds. Exciting games brought only frustration for Brady and his players as the process of re-building the team tested everyone's patience. "We have three or four players from last season otherwise it is an entirely new squad and this will take some time. It does not happen overnight and our young players have a lot to learn. It is all about consistency and you do not achieve this overnight," said Saints' manager now in his fifth season at the club.

Following this run of defeats Brackley won at St James Park against Hyde FC from Tameside in Greater Manchester to give his side heart ahead of a further challenging run of games and the start of FA Cup games. Saints made it to the second round proper last season and will enter the qualifying stage full of hope of another good run to bring interest, excitement and added funds into the club and into Brackley. Nobody would forget last season's live televised Round One game at SJP when Saints beat Division One Gillingham! Who knows what lies ahead if Saints can navigate their way through the early stages this time around.

The Garden in October Sunshine again
A fine early summer, a pretty average August and a good start to the Autumn. Can it continue? Maybe so but does that mean another wet mild winter like 13/14? Late bloomers There are plenty of late flowering plants looking stunning at the moment, with frosts holding off and warm sunshine to enhance the flowers. In fact some blooms actually look better in autumn when the hottest sunshine (which can fade petals) has passed. For example the shrubby Potentillas are looking particularly good, with flowers in all shades from white through creams, yellows, orange, red, and pinks. Japanese anemones are flowering profusely as are many of the late-flowering herbaceous perennials. Hardy plumbagos add a touch of electric blue, in compact form and pretty autumn leaf shades
Seedy grasses More popular in recent years are the ornamental grasses now available in a fantastic variety of species and forms. Many really come into their own at this time of the year, as the late colours intensify and dainty seed heads sway in the lightest breeze. Try planting in poor soil, maybe through shingle, such as the fun Stipa ‘Pony Tails’ with their cute floppy seed heads. A real show-off is a form of the elephant grass Miscanthus ‘Flamingo’. Give this one a little space and drool over it’s fine foliage and iridescent silvery pink seed heads. Leave the grasses to stand into the winter; some will be cut back by frost and others will look superb with a dusting of ice crystals after a clear night. End of winter, cut back hard for fresh spring foliage and a perfect shape Jobs in the garden Once plants are cut back, some decent weather will allow you to add organic matter to the soil. Good garden compost or well rotted manure can
