He’s behind you!!! Oh yes he is!!

Yes, it was panto time again and Bournemouth Pavilion did itself proud once more. Twenty two of us joined the thirty two prize winners from Dorset and Purbeck Publications on the press night (making ourselves heard when announced towards the end!).

Aladdin, this year’s story, was superbly directed by Chris Jarvis, who also played Wishee Washee. The production had everything we love about panto...

Jokes for the parents, fun for the kids and a great use of current chart hits adapted to fit the story.

Scott Maslen was the suitably evil, but quite sexy, Abanazar, trying his best to thwart Aladdin. Richard Vincent gave a stellar performance as Aladdin with outstanding vocals and high energy.

Jamie-Lee Mason was the beautiful Princess Jasmine and she too gave stunning vocal performances.

Bobby Crush as Window Twankey

Scott Maslen as Abanazar

There were great special effects with Aladdin fl ying all over the world on his magic carpet and the evil Imax instructing Abanazar how to get the power of the universe.

Bobby Crush gave a hilarious performance as Widow Twankey and even entertained us with his fantastic piano playing. Those of a certain age may remember him winning Opportunity Knocks with this particular talent.

The whole cast gave outstanding performances to make the evening magical. Pantomime really is the best way to get into the Christmas spirit.

There was fun and laughter for all the family and I am looking forward to next year’s panto already!

Partnership success for Health Promoting Hospitals initiative This year the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was involved in the launch of a new initiative to improve the quality of care for patients with long-term conditions.

‘Health Promoting Hospitals’ is a partnership between the Trust and other key providers of health and social care, including Dorset Healthcare, Clinical Commissioning Groups, Dorset Police, BH Live and Carers UK, and reflects how health care in communities is changing. Hospitals no longer just treat and discharge patients, but are involved in providing education and advice so patients can understand and manage any long-term medical conditions throughout their lives.

A high number of hospital readmissions and health complications can be prevented if patients are empowered to self-manage their long-term conditions and if providers of health and social care are fully involved in the process.

The Trust is now part of the International Network of Health Promoting Hospitals established by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Health promotion aims to improve the health of individuals and communities through education, behavioural change and environmental improvement.

Under the Health Promoting Hospitals scheme, the Trust provides a range of health advice which has not only had an impact on patients, but their families, staff, partner health providers and the wider community.

Activities included in the Health Promoting Hospitals initiative are: Community education programmes • Understanding Health events - these popular events are completely free to the public and give valuable insights into topics that may otherwise be difficult to understand.

• Health awareness seminars hosted in conjunction with other health care providers such as Carers UK, Stop Smoke and the British Heart Foundation.

• Health information available via the Trust website www.rbch.nhs.uk.

Patient health promotion programmes • Partnership with LV= Streetwise - the Trust has introduced a hospital ward scenario to the interactive safety centre, Streetwise, aimed at schoolchildren.

• Introduction of a new senior citizens tour at Streetwise - attendees take part in a two hour interactive session aimed at preventing slips, trips and falls.

• Move to Improve programme - patients from the Trust’s rheumatology and fibromyalgia clinics are directly referred into rehabilitation clinics for six week taster sessions offering techniques such as Tai Chi and relaxation classes.

The hospital ward scenario which forms part of the Streetwise interactive safety centre • Back Fitness Programme and Back Club - supporting patients with persistent back pain.

• Trust-led rehabilitation programmes offered at BH Live leisure facilities. The construction of musculoskeletal rehab centres based at the Littledown Centre and Pelham’s Park Leisure Centre are due for completion in spring 2014.

• Pelham’s Park Leisure Centre hosts pulmonary rehabilitation classes two times a week to provide support to people with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and chronic lung disease.

It is not only patients and the public benefiting from the Health Promoting Hospitals initiative. Staff now have access to a variety of programmes including fitness classes, walking groups, healthy eating seminars and immunisation schemes.

Trust Chairman Jane Stichbury said: “Working with other providers of health and social care as part of this initiative is extremely positive. As a Trust it is vital that we provide high-quality care and support to our patients - working in collaboration with others also enables us to enhance the health of our local community.”

For further information about Health Promoting Hospitals, contact Michelle Burden on 01202 704956 or email michelle.burden@rbch.nhs.uk One community programme as part of the initiative is My Health My Way: A free support service giving education and coaching to people affected by a health condition. Health coaches can offer you one-to-one support, get you involved in group work, highlight online tools that could help you or give you support over the telephone.

Moors Valley Railway and Play Trail top public vote The Moors Valley Railway and Play Trail have been voted joint first in a poll to discover the public’s favourite activity at the third most visited country park in England.

Throughout the year visitors have been voting for the things they love most at Moors Valley Country Park and Forest near Ringwood. Their top 25 have now been announced marking the culmination of the Park’s 25 year celebrations.

Top of the list, Moors Valley Railway was the first attraction at the Park to be opened to the public and clearly remains a firm favourite more than 25 years on. It offers visitors the chance to enjoy a ride on an authentic steam train, travelling along the lakeside, through tunnels and over a bridge.

Tieing with the railway, in joint fi rst place, the mile-long Play Trail offers hours of outdoor family fun aschildren enjoy healthy activity and build their confidence scrabbling on its exciting wooden play structures.

Value for money also made it into the top five, with parking charges not deterring families looking for a great day out with no admission fees.

Countryside Interpretation Ranger Katie Davies said, “As we reach the end of our 25 year celebrations we are really pleased to know that people appreciate the family-friendly focus of the Park. It’s great to see a wide range of different experiences in the top 25, ranging from the ‘paying’ attractions like Go Ape and the Segways to more simple activities such as the lakeside walks and enjoying an ice cream.”

Looking to the future, 25 commemorative trees are to be planted around the Park’s newest play structure, the house of Baba Yaga. And the fun will continue in 2014 with lots more family-friendly activities, including the arrival of a very special visitor to Moors Valley Country Park in the New Year.

Please be aware that during the winter months Moors Valley Railway runs only at weekends and that other features may be closed for essential maintenance. The Visitor Centre and Tree Top Trail will be closed between 13th and 17th January 2014.

Talking about Wildlife...

New Year Resolutions for Wildlife It is traditional to begin the New Year with a set of resolutions to improve ourselves in one way or another. This year, if you feel like doing something a bit different, there are plenty of ways you can help improve wildlife, and wildlife can help improve you.

If you’re looking to get rid of the Christmas calories and get some fresh air, we have plenty of volunteering tasks on our reserves all around Dorset where you can get knee-deep in mud and up-close with nature! And below, we have listed some ways you can experience wildlife and help nature conservation in Dorset, which will bring you pleasure, comfort and satisfaction in 2014.

1. Treat yourself to a quiet walk at the weekend. The woods transform in the winter: pathways are covered in a thin layer of frost, which sparkles as the sun rises and sets; the trees stand firm like soldiers, bracing themselves against the biting winds; and their bare branches intertwine, forming wild, lopsided archways. This is truly a sight to behold.

2. If you have a family, spend three days a month in the local forest. Take a ‘Wildlife’ book, keep a record of what you find, and discover how the world changes.

3. Transform your garden into a haven for wildlife by setting up bird feeders, nest boxes, and log-piles.

The shelters you create will protect animals from the cold.

4. Clean out any existing bird boxes so that they are ready for the spring.

5.

6.

Top up bird feeders daily.

Don’t clear your garden too much this winter. Wild shrubs can be used by animals to shelter. Additionally, their seeds provide beneficial food for both animals and birds.

7. Sit back and enjoy the sculptural effect that wild seeds create.

8. Support local businesses and reduce your carbon footprint by regularly visiting farmers’ markets. These markets are abundant in fresh food, including meat, dairy produce, and locally grown fruit and vegetables.

9. Precycle rather than recycle; if you don’t need it, don’t buy it.

10. Ensure that litter is disposed of properly.

Thousands of creatures die every year because of litter.

For more information about our extensive volunteering events, please go online to www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/events or phone 01202 642788.

Adventures of Nellie

22

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Wow what weather we have had recently!

Nellie was all set to take us to The New Forest Wildlife Park, to see the deer and other animals, but the park was shut due to storm damage. We hope the owners have managed to sort everything out and we promise to visit in the near future. Not to be put off we decided that Nellie was still to have a run around the New Forest, after her stay in the garden over Christmas.

On the planned day, upon waking, the sun was shining and it all looked perfect to see the wonderful sights of the open land and deep forestry so near to us. Unfortunately, as none of us in the family are particularly keen morning people, and taking such a long time to have breakfast and get ready, by 11.38am when we finally left the house, the sun had totally disappeared… in fact just as we set off the rain started to pour – again! Mum and Dad had come to stay with us for Christmas, so we all went, with Mum and Dad following in ‘The Matrix’, much like our holiday on the Isle of Wight in the summer.

Nellie was not perturbed by the rain and suitably stopped at the viewpoint just as you enter the New Forest from the A31 at Picket Post. It really is a fantastic view

New Forest pony enjoying a picnic

Nellie admires the views and if you ever need some space to relax, chill out or reflect, then this is a good place to go. It would be a great place to make those all important New Year’s Resolutions! Last summer we were at this very same point and a New Forest pony came along and started eating the picnic of a very frustrated family, as you can see in the photo! Since the weather was very different at this time, we continued on our journey, to Burley. Burley really is somewhere special. In the summer there is a horse and cart to take you through the countryside, but today there was not so much activity, though all the quaint shops were open. We just had to take a look in each of them of course. Hayden bought the most cute pair of Sloopers at The Old Shed (not slippers, no I didn’t make a spelling mistake, just in case you wondered…). They are very much like a pair of jesters’ shoes and anyone who has been to the house and seen them on Hayden’s growing feet, has remarked how much they like them. They were a bargain at just over half price. Hayden bought them himself with some of his Christmas money. Money well spent – and not on an electronic game! Oh yes I bought an

23

Hayden with his Sloopers from The Old Shed Elvis Christmas CD to play in Nellie on the way back. Sad but true I am afraid – it was the 28th December so I thought I could just about get away with it. After all the shopping excitement we went for lunch at The Burley Stores. Dad, who is a truly northern man and loves his sea food, opted for the breaded whitebait. He was not disappointed, the plate was full and thoroughly enjoyed! We all watched through the window as another downpour of rain soaked the village. (I couldn’t resist taking a photo of a place mat in one of the shop windows…)

I was determined that we would stop for a cup of tea in Nellie, so off we went, back to the viewpoint, and on went the whistling kettle. With the roof up, Hayden ‘upstairs’ and the front seat turned inwards, which is really useful, there was just enough seats

Sat snug and warm with a cuppa!

for all of us to enjoy a cuppa and admire, albeit in a way that we were glad to be under cover, the glorious, if rather damp looking views in front of us - with Elvis softly singing away in the background.

We would never have done this without Nellie, as a car is just not the same.

The van brings us all together no matter the weather and in true British style we enjoyed ourselves despite the rain!

We didn’t of course stay overnight in Nellie on this trip. I say ‘of course’ as we may well have been blown dramatically down the hill with all the high winds we have had recently. There are in fact many caravan parks and campsites in the New Forest area. Stephen’s parents will

Place mat says it all... be staying at Bransgore in their touring caravan at Easter. Stephen’s sister will also be staying in her new bright yellow VW Campervan named Jessie Phyllis after her two late Grandmothers. That will be a story to tell!

So Nellie, Hayden, Stephen and myself at Dorset Publications want to wish you all a really great 2014! Whatever you do, wherever you go, may you be happy and active. Where will Nellie go next? Find out in the next issue of The Queens Park & Talbot Woods Directory!

CONTACT THE ELDERLY We are looking for volunteer drivers in Bournemouth and Southbourne areas to take elderly people out one Sunday afternoon a month for a little ride and afternoon tea at volunteer host and hostesses homes.

The need is for more reserve drivers when the regular ones cannot come for two or three times a year and more volunteer host and hostesses to entertain up to six elderly people and two drivers once or twice a year. A downstairs cloakroom is a must.

Please ring Carolyn Dennis on 01202 424482.

Plant of the Month

Perfect for a splash of colour whilst the rest of the garden hibernates, the Primrose is one of the surest signs that spring is around the corner.

The name derives from the Latin prima rosa which means ‘first rose’ and this beautiful little flower bursts forth with low level blooms that brighten many a gardens corner. They prefer a damp environment which is why you’ll often see them in woods, verges and hedgebanks.

Divide these plants frequently and ensure that they have a well dug and fertile soil and you’ll enjoy these for many years to come.
