News in Brief Cover photo: Chris Slocock
Traders in Wimborne do not support the Folk Festival? Wimborne Folk Festival is claimed to be under threat as appeals are made for funding support. This year organisers Brian and Maria Bisp, who have been running the weekend since it began, are waiting to hear if their grant bids to East Dorset District Council £2000 and Waitrose have been successful. Wimborne Town council has agreed to its support as usual of £1000. However past appeals and letters to Wimborne traders asking for donations attracted only a two per cent response.
Dorset County Council to Make £22m Cuts Council chiefs are faced with a drastic funding shortfall, expected to total £48.6 Million over three years, or 17 per cent of the council’s budget. GMB union leaders have predicted 695 council job losses and council leaders are predicting the scaling or reducing of budgets across the board that will damage frontline services.
Car Parking Spaces in Wimborne may be under Threat The core strategy review has proposals for the centre of Wimborne including the loss of existing car parking spaces, Allendale Community Centre, Wimborne Market site being redeveloped for housing and ideas for other key land areas in the area including a sports village to the South of Leigh Road.

We are also highlighting the work of Rotary and The END POLIO NOW campaign! After 25 years of hard work, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of eradicating this tenacious disease, but a strong push is needed now to root it out once and for all. It is a window of opportunity of historic proportions. Working with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Health Organisation, Rotary is joint funding immunization campaigns in developing countries where polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them of their futures and compounding the hardships faced by their families.

TELL THE GOVERNMENT TO BACK OFF BADGERS! The ‘Give Animals a Voice’ campaign has been started by the RSPCA. The coalition government has announced a public consultation on whether a badger cull should go ahead and members of the public have been asked to respond. The RSPCA remains firmly opposed to any plans for a widespread cull based on current science, welfare concerns and practicality. Scientific evidence suggests that culling badgers in an area initially increases bovine TB infection in cattle in the surrounding areas, and achieves only a limited reduction within the area targeted. It concluded that “badger culling can make no meaningful contribution to cattle TB control in Britain”. The RSPCA believe that the government should listen to public opinion (the previous consultation on a badger cull showed 95% of respondents were opposed to a cull) and focus instead on the use of an approved TB vaccine for badgers along with other control methods. Please help the RSPCA to oppose this cull by registering your opposition.

Our Poor Soil Needs Feeding! It’s muck-spreading time – I’ve just taken delivery of 100 bags of mushroom compost and can’t wait to get started. I enjoy clearing up the garden and itch to get going ridiculously early. So many plants in this mild area are still flowering and that’s wonderful, but in autumn the soil is warm enough to move plants around and correct all the mistakes made last year, colour clashes and height problems. The little treasures get lost and the plants ‘friends’ gave you go rampaging all over the place. Lysimachia Firecracker for instance – what a runner! Good plant, very useful plummy foliage colour and pretty yellow flowers. (If anyone bought one from me at the Hardy Plant Sale, I apologise!) Actually it runs at surface level and is very easy to pull up, so I simply leave small patches of it – I wouldn’t want to be without it. Our poor gravelly soil desperately needs feeding and it’s worth adding as much compost and manure as you can lay your hands on, from any source. I have a friend who is using goat’s this year! Your plants will thank you for it – “The answer lies in the soil” – remember that? Barbara Gooch.

Controversial Plans for a large south coast offshore wind farm Plans for a 100-sq-mile (256-sq-km) wind farm off the Dorset, Hampshire and Isle of Wight coasts have been revealed. The proposed area, to the west of the Isle of Wight, is one of nine areas around the UK earmarked for large offshore wind farm projects. The Isle of Wight licence was won by Eneco Wind UK and has a potential yield of 900MW to power 600,000 homes. The first display is in Weymouth on Monday, followed by Swanage, Poole, Bournemouth, Lymington and Freshwater. Eneco would be developing about 30% of the 280-sq-mile zone (725-sq-km). Construction is set to begin in 2016, subject to planning consent and be fully operational by 2018. The winners of the licences at the nine sites around the UK have signed exclusive agreements with the Crown Estate, which owns the UK seabed.

Robins
Adorable in appearance and instantly recognisable by its orange-red breast and plump figure, the robin is a national favourite amongst our domestic birds.
Robins are widely found year round everywhere in Britain in woodlands, parks and gardens, where their warbling song can be heard throughout the day as well as night, but the robin in your garden may not be the same one all year round, as some British robins migrate south for winter and others arrive from continental Europe for our milder climate. Dorset Wildlife Trust’s exclusive new range of Christmas cards features a stunning image of a Bournemouth robin by local photographer Steve Maskell.

Despite their cute looks and friendly demeanour, robins are fiercely territorial with each other and rival species, defending their feeding and nesting areas with ferocity if necessary. The male and female hold separate territories until late December or January, when they pair up to construct their nest. Their songs are identical as well as their looks, with the red breast bordered by grey, and the back and wings being brown. The youngsters are a less conspicuous dull brown colour, without the red, until about 2 or 3 months of age. Robins normally breed twice a year, starting in March, each brood consisting of 4 to 6 pale blue, speckled eggs. Robins enjoy a vastly varied diet of small insects and worms, seeds, berries and fruits. They readily approach humans for food, sometimes even being tame enough to feed from the hand.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
The “Ode of Remembrance” is an ode taken from Laurence Binyon’s poem “For the Fallen”, which was first published in The Times in September 1914. The poet wrote For the Fallen, which has seven stanzas, while sitting on the cliffs between Pentire Point and The Rumps in north Cornwall. A stone plaque was erected at the spot in 2001 to commemorate the fact. The plaque bears the inscription For The Fallen Composed on these cliffs 1914 The poem honoured the World War I British war dead of that time and in particular the British Expeditionary Force, which had by then already had high casualty rates on the developing Western Front. The poem was published when the Battle of the Marne was foremost in people’s minds. Over time, the third and fourth stanzas of the poem (although often just the fourth) were claimed as a tribute to all casualties of war, regardless of state. They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

How AIDA may help you
01202 870196
Q How do I create a marketing piece that works?
charliehaddon@actioncoach.com A In last month’s article, we talked about the importance of getting to the correct target market with your advertising, then making them a great offer. Remember the importance factors we gave to target market (10 out of 10), the offer you make to them (5 out of 10), and then the words in the piece (or the copy - only 1 out of 10). This still doesn’t detract from the fact that the ad needs to be involving to make sure the reader actually reads it ! That’s where AIDA comes in - Attention, Interest, Desire and Action. Attention: We need people to read our marketing - so we have to grab their attention. Usually that comes through a powerful headline - for example, by appealing to your market: “Business owners: Discover the five ways to grow your profits by 61% this year!” would grab the attention! Interest: Once the reader is involved through the headline, we need to build their interest. Use your USP (unique selling points) and demonstrate how you stand apart from your competition. These should address F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F and allay fears of your F prospective customer, F and clearly convey the F F benefits of your product F or service.

~~~~~ Oakley Butchers ~~~~~ Ian Butler I am 46 years old and have been a Butcher all of my working life; I started Butchering in Wimborne in 1982, training at Wilson & Sons. I was made Manager in 1997 & was made a Partner in 2000. But sadly, due to the ever increasing costs that all small traders face we could make it pay no longer, in 2004 the shop that had been a butcher’s for 350 years closed. We opened Oakley Butchers in Oct 2004 and decided to go the Free-Range route. In Feb 2005 we took our first delivery of Red Devon Beef from Horton. In Oct 2005, because of our reputation for stocking local meat, we were approached by Richard Harding of Knighton Farm 2 miles from the shop to sell their Canford Magna Lamb. The trio is completed with the arrival of the outdoor free-range Saddleback cross landrace pigs. This fantastic pork is born and raised in Sturminster Newton and delivered direct to the shop by the farmer. Since we opened in Merley the shop has gone from strength to strength, fuelled by demand for local naturally reared free-range meat, and we opened another shop, on Broadstone Broadway in October 2008; the shops have a real family feel to them, where nothing is too much trouble. My Wife Mary & Son Leon, also work in the shops. We offer a free local delivery service. I regularly visit the farms and select stock from the field. All of the farmers that we use are members of the countryside stewardship. All the animals are naturally reared and are free from antibiotics and growth promoters. Lastly over the past six years, as we buy from local suppliers we have had NO PRICE INCREASES FOR CHRISTMAS MEAT & POULTRY. We also do not put our day to day cuts up for Christmas, if you buy a gammon or beef today it will cost you no more at Christmas!

In our community Keith Perryman Cast your mind back to January 2008 and that splendid procession we had through Wimborne of the Roman Soldiers led by Keith Perryman when he launched his Book “FAREWELL ROME”....

Great Santa Fun Run Once again the Wimborne Rotary has organised an exciting family event for Sunday 12th Dec for a “Great Santa Fun Run” which will take place at Badbury Rings, Wimborne. Last year lots of children and adults took part and raised £6000 for their nominated charity. The entry fee is £10 for adults and £6 for children aged 8 to 14, which pays for a Santa Suit to compete in (which each contestant keeps) & helps to defray expenses. The balance will go to the Naomi House Charity. Everyone taking part in their Father Christmas outfit together with a white beard and red hat provides a real spectacle for spectators supporting their families. “Santas” warming up for the 2009 event
Adults and children over the age of 8 will be able to select which course they want to walk, jog or run. They range from 1 mile to 4 miles. Individual Entry Forms can be downloaded from www. santawimbornerotary.org.uk . There is a “warm up” session at 10.40; the run starts at 11am. This is a real chance to have fun and participate in a local community event. If you have any questions then you can contact Rotarian Roy Salmon at info@santawimbornerotary.org.uk
Dear Editor... Otter sighting! It was on Sunday 25th July that I was in Mill Lane, Wimborne when my attention was drawn by a family looking into the Mill Stream just under the archway. I asked what was on as they were looking so intent...the lady replied we have just seen an OTTER. It had apparently just come back up the river and under the Bridge from which we launch the ducks and gone in underneath where all the works have just been completed. I dashed to my car for the camera and with my wife Christine watching from the other side by Ken Busby in case the Otter showed up there, we waited. I was rewarded by a brief sighting as it re-appeared from whence it had gone in...sadly not enough to photograph but enough to say I had seen it. Although we waited a little while the Otter did not re-appear and we had to leave. It was the first time in our 34 years in Dorset that I had seen an Otter in the Town let alone the County. Best wishes, Anthony Oliver MBE To advertise ring Chris Slocock at The Advertising Hub on 01202 882277

Photography - Winter Shapes
Winter is not an excuse to put your camera away. Quite the reverse, there are many opportunities to capture outdoor events as well as images of the environment. Daylight hours: In winter days are short and the sun is low in the sky. This puts dawn and dusk scenes at reasonable times of day so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to get up very early or miss evening mealtime to experience these events. Lighting: The low sun gives excellent lighting and dramatic effects when there is partial cloud. Cold, cloudless days have wonderful visibility because of the lack of atmospheric haze due to low humidity. This means clear sharp horizons and detail in the distance. Mist and fog: Occurs when humidity is high and again can lead to interesting, atmospheric images where objects appear out of the gloom creating a sense of
mystery. Shooting directly into the sun is also easy when there is mist enabling you to capture strange shapes, silhouettes and long shadows. Simple graphic images: have the most impact, whether in town or the countryside. Consider viewpoint: Instead of taking photographs from normal eye level, why not photograph from low to the ground. The world looks very different from that height and can give your photos more impact. By getting close to a subject from high or low viewpoint can also result in images that grab the attention. So get out with your camera and enjoy winter walks in parks, woodland areas, by the river, at coastal locations or even built up areas.
