Brackley Town Football Club... w w w.b rac k le y to wn fc .c om
Saints Marching On ...
The season is racing along with almost a quarter of the National League North season behind us and Brackley Town are finding their form. In the league Saints have put a formidable run of results together as the goals have started to flow freely and defensively the vital clean-sheets have become more frequent. In October Saints recorded their record win in any competition. The 8-0 score-line did not flatter Kevin Wilkin’s side against a poor Bradford Park Avenue team. Four goals in each half settled the record score-line and pleasingly the goals were shared among lots of players although Lee Ndlovu bagged a brace and unselfishly passed up a hat-trick chance to set up substitute
Dan Holman who rolled in his first of the season. The moment epitomised the team spirit in the side. As well as league success, the side made progress in the FA Cup with strong wins against Cinderford Town and Warrington Town before meeting former league side Hartlepool United at their Victoria Ground. With the FA Trophy due to start shortly there is no shortage of excitement and expectation around St James Park. While the stadium suffered the fire over the summer, the club has constructed a new covered area for spectators and a temporary outside bar so that spectators can still enjoy a drink. While the insurance pay-out for the destroyed clubhouse remains to be settled, the club has forged ahead drawing up architect’s plans for a new clubhouse and further ground developments
are underway and shortly to be completed with the addition of new covered seating along one side of the ground and further covered terracing at the cricket ground end. A campaign to add funds to the re-building fund, Stand Together, has organised lots of exciting events to bring the wider community together and raise money. Keep your eyes out via the club website for the events coming up soon.

C h o o s i n g a Fa m i ly L aw ye r Few people consult a family lawyer before they need to do so and, for that reason, the process of choosing one to support and represent you at a difficult and stressful time can feel rather rushed. Many of our clients come to us through recommendation from a family member, friend or work colleague, but a significant number will look for a family lawyer through local publications, organisations or the internet.
When choosing a family lawyer, we would recommend looking for one who can demonstrate experience and expertise of your specific circumstances, provide a clear indication of the likely costs involved in your matter, and be relied upon to communicate well and give regular updates on the progress of your case.
Divorce, separation and issues around children are often emotional, complex and can take time to resolve. This is why it is vital to choose a solicitor that you feel will provide you with the best level of service and support and one who understands your situation.
Spratt Endicott Solicitors offer clients a fixed fee initial meeting at ÂŁ95 (including VAT) at any of our four offices in Banbury, Brackley, Bicester or Buckingham. For more information please contact Sobiah Hussain on 01869 222320 or email shussain@se-law.co.uk.

With Bonfire Night just a few da With Bonfire Night just a few days away, it’s great to wrap up warm, enjoy the fireworks, toast marshmallows on the bonfire and wave a sparkler or two – so we have a few top tips to make it memorable, for all the right reasons!
• If you’ve built your bonfire pile before the night, check it thoroughly before lighting – look for small creatures, like hedgehogs and voles, which may have crawled underneath • Make sure your bonfire is well away from anything which could catch light and check the wind strength and direction won’t take sparks towards anything flammable
• Let the neighbours know in advance, if you’re going to be letting off fireworks in the garden, so they can shut any sensitive pets safely away in the house • Put your garden fireworks into a metal tin with a lid and take them out individually as needed
• Site each firework on a flat, non-flammable surface, light with a taper and stand back to a safe distance • Don’t go back to a lit firework which didn’t
Fed Up With Aches and Pains? Why not consult a chiropractor? Chiropractors treat:
• Never use petrol or flammable liquids to get the fire started – firelighters or scrunched-up newspaper work well outdoors • Have a garden fork handy, to rearrange any burning wood which slides down once the fire is alight • Although it’s tempting to have a good sort-out for the bonfire, don’t burn anything which may contain plastics, aerosols or batteries as they can become lethal when they are exposed to flames • Keep several buckets of water or a fire extinguisher handy, just in case 20
Your £60 assessment will include: ✓ A private consultation ✓ Postural & spinal analysis ✓ Neurological & orthopaedic exam ✓ Confidential report of findings Treatments last approximately one hour and cost £50 per session The above prices take effect from March 1st 2017

No Jobs November
I was listening to a gardening podcast and someone made the excellent point that all too often gardeners will talk about chores and jobs to be done. Imagine if we did this for any other hobby: empty all your kitchen cupboards and scrub them down! Thoroughly clean your brushes to remove all trace of paint! Arrange all your music into genre then alphabetical order!
Where is the art and happiness in this? November is always a tricky month for jobs anyway, the most people will do is plant tulips, cut back a few tired perennials,

gather some leaves. So this year I shan’t do “jobs” I will use it as an opportunity to engage with my garden. Putting down the mulch will be a chance to reduce the weeds and get up close to the plants for the first time in months, to notice how much clumps of plants have filled out. Doing a final pass over with shears of hedges and evergreens will be like icing a cake; the precision now will be a feast for the eye through the winter. For me, one of the biggest joys of gardening is making new planting and November means the bare root season has kicked off. I have plans for some clipped hornbeam cubes in a sea of wavy grasses.

The solidity of the cubes will provide structure and contrast of form and texture. I can make the cubes from several small bare root whips for ten pounds. It is great for the pocket as well as being
quicker to establish and reducing plastic waste. So this November don’t do any chores, just get out and soak up all the beauty of the season and enjoy whatever you happen to do.
