Dear Bournemouth!

Well I have to say that this summer was a great success all round. The weather was good and from our point of view Hayden, our 9 year old son, was kept busy on a four day camp at Sixpenny Handley with the Viking Cub Scout Group, a week on the Isle of Wight with us and then ten days at Grandma and Grandad’s in Hull! Oh to be young and carefree again… You can read about our trip to the Isle of Wight with Nellie on pages 22 and 23. Of course we also had a great day at the Bournemouth Air Show! So, I hope you equally had a good summer and are getting ready for the autumn again.

We have some interesting articles this month. The Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospital has good information for you. A local lady holds a concert in aid of Asthma UK. Volunteers raise money for Lewis Manning-Manning Hospice. You can have a hearing aid trial at Clarity Hearing. Dorset Wildlife Trust has interesting data about wild life and plants and what is edible and what is not! There is a beginner’s guide to planting shrubs. 80’s Mania hits Bournemouth!

Local volunteer drivers are needed, and finally there is some good finance advice from Martin Lewis. This is all inside, so do use the Directory to support your local groups. Of course we have our very important advertisers. There is quite a selection so please continue to help us, help them, by giving the local businesses and trades people a call for their services.

The lucky winner of the two tickets to the Bournemouth Pavilion Wedding Fair is Lydia Bates.

Well done to you!

Wishing you all a good month of September,

Debbie & Stephen Corney

Local woman holds ‘breathtaking’ concert in order to raise vital funds for Asthma UK A Bournemouth woman has raised more than £280 for the charity Asthma UK by singing her heart out – but she couldn’t have done it without a little help from her friends.

Kate Jones, a member of the Sound of Soul Choir, knows only too well the effect that asthma can have on people’s lives, as her dad has been struggling with the condition since he retired.

So, with the backing of her fellow choristers, the 27 year old decided to hold a concert to raise money for the UK’s leading asthma charity.

Kate said: “When I told the other members of the choir about my dad and the medication he has to take every day, they were keen to help me with the concert and to raise money for Asthma UK.” The pop and soul choir, which has taken Dorset by storm since their launch last September, hosted a musical extravaganza at St Stephen’s Church in Bournemouth.

More than 150 people attended the concert, Let’s Get Together and Feel Alright, and were treated to performances of songs such as One Day Like This and We are Young.

Kate’s father, Vince Jones, even took to the stage to speak about his experiences of asthma and to talk about the work of Asthma UK. Kate said: “I was overwhelmed by the number of people who turned up to watch Sound of Soul and who also generously donated to this wonderful cause. It meant so much to me to raise money for this charity, as I feel that every little I can help, is one step towards helping my dad”.

Vince added: “Kate has recognised that asthma is a serious medical condition and has chosen to do something positive to bring it to the attention of the public.

The concert was a great occasion and hopefully the audience will now have a better idea of the problems faced on a daily basis by asthma sufferers. I’m really proud of her efforts and extremely pleased to have been part of this event”.

Asthma is one of the most common long-term medical conditions in the UK, affecting more than 5.4 million people.

Asthma UK is here for all these people, giving them support and expert advice when they need it and funding research to find better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. Three people die every day from asthma in the UK, but sadly most people regard the condition as a minor ailment and don’t realise how destructive it can be.

Nicola Seager, Community Fundraising Officer at Asthma UK, said: “The money raised by the Sound of Soul Choir will help us to provide support to people with asthma through our award-winning information and Adviceline, as well as helping us to continue funding vital asthma research. We are very grateful to everyone involved for all their hard work.”

High quality hospital care for all Patient safety, patient care outcomes and the patient experience are the focus for our activities; ensuring we are putting our patients first in all that we do.

Our Board of Directors hear first-hand about patient experiences and ensure a link between the wards and the decisions made. For example, each month our directors hear from a patient, or member of staff, about a recent hospital experience.

To tell us about your hospital experience contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Services (PALS) on 01202 704886 or email pals@rbch.nhs.uk.

The PALS office is in the main atrium of the Royal Bournemouth Hospital and is open from 9am-4pm, Monday to Friday.

Providing quality care means continually investing in our staff, equipment, environment and the patient experience. Here are examples of where we have been working hard during the last 12 months and planned improvements.

Investing in our front line Investing in staff is crucial to ensure we continue to provide high quality care.

• More than £1m has been invested in nursing staff.

• Some 59 newly qualified nurses have been appointed and will join the Trust in early autumn.

• Four additional doctors are to be recruited.

• Two further consultant acute physicians are to be appointed to provide greater consultant cover.

• An intensive care consultant will join the outreach team.

• Plans to recruit a sixth consultant for the Emergency Department.

Investment in senior medical staff is a priority within the hospital at night and at weekends.

Innovation We are one of the first hospitals in the south to purchase a surgical robot for use in the treatment of prostate, head and neck cancers. Robotic surgery is less invasive than normal surgical procedures for complex cancer urology and is performed through small ‘keyholes’, resulting in shorter recovery times, reduced hospital stay and the potential for enhanced quality of life outcomes for patients.

Enhancing the healing environment for patients with dementia Funding has been approved for a range of ward improvements, including: • New reception with patient seating area • Colour coding for bathroom facilities and pictorial signage • Use of orientation boards • New nurse stations on bays Investment in the dementia ward environment is designed to reduce patient stress and anxiety, promote independence in day to day activities and reduce falls.

High quality patient information Providing high quality patient information is an essential part of the patient experience and consent process; ensuring patients are fully informed about medical procedures.

Awarded the Information Standard quality mark for the patient health and care information produced, patients coming to our hospitals can be assured the information they receive is of the highest quality.

Our award-winning patient films also support the patient experience. A range of films have been produced to help patients and their families understand what will happen when they come in to hospital for a particular procedure. Films have been produced for orthopaedics, prostate cancer, cardiology to name a few, and they can be found under the ‘Patient and Visitor’ area of www.rbch.nhs.uk To keep up to date with developments at the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch hospitals why not become a member? Call 01202 704246 or email us at ftmembers@rbch.nhs.uk.

Sun shines on Air Festival spectacular!

Nellie, the Dorset Publications campervan, took us to see the Air Festival on the Saturday. The weather could not have been better.

With clear blue skies and glorious sunlight, the planes and helicopters dazzled above the glistening sea!

Our 9 year old son, Hayden, in between running in and out of the sea, enjoyed taking photos of the displays. He managed to get a great shot of the Lancaster over the Pier Theatre as you can see here!

We have also put together a small selection of our favourites from that days performers.

A big thank you to all the organisers, pilots and supporters!

Talking about Wildlife...

Foraging for food It It’s hard to imagine a life in which foraging for food is essential. Today, food shops and supermarkets provide us with a constant supply of food; we can even have food delivered to our door.

However, these food outlets were not an option 10,000 years ago. In order to secure a meal, our ancestors had to scout the land, foraging for plants and seeds and hunting for meat and fish. It was a full-time job and communities had to work collectively.

We could not live from wild foods alone in 21st Century, but it seems that in Britain, an interest in foraging has grown in recent years. Some forage because of environmental concerns and the cost of food, whilst others are drawn in by the opportunity to uncover a wealth of nutritious, seasonal and free ingredients.

Before you raid nature’s larder, make sure you know how to forage safely. Remember, some plants and fungi are poisonous; a deadly fungus may have a similar appearance to an edible mushroom. Do not eat anything unless you are 100% certain that your identification is correct. You should also avoid foraging in an area where agricultural sprays have been used, as these can contaminate produce.

If you want to learn about how to forage safely, visit Kingcombe Centre on Sunday 15th September and take part in Hedgerow Harvest.

Revel in the local landscape at the Kingcombe Centre, which is surrounded by nearly 1000 acres of nature reserve and learn about Kingcombe’s abundant supply of wild plants with expert and River Cottage regular, John Wright. There will be an opportunity to forage through the meadows and woodlands before you discuss and taste what has been gathered. John will also teach you how to identify plants, including those which are poisonous, and will introduce you to the law of foraging.

We also have a Fungi Foray event with John on 16th November, where you can enjoy a brief introduction to fungi, followed by a guided walk with discussion and identification, and perhaps a taste if you’re lucky enough to find some edible fungi!

For more information about events and courses at the Kingcombe Centre, please visit: www.kingcombe.org.

GUIDE Container Shrubs

Late summer to autumn is the main period for planting shrubs in containers, although container grown shrubs can be put into ornamental pots at almost any time.

based compost as shrubs are likely to stay in their containers for a few years and any grown in peat based compost will need frequent feeding and will dry out more quickly than loam based ones.

Choose a container that is the right size for the shrub. If the container has been previously used, scrub its inside surfaces thoroughly.

However, you should use ericaceous compost for lime haters such as rhododendrons, pieris, camellia, conifers and heathers.

Put heavy containers into position before planting up, or risk a slipped disc!

Stand the container on blocks or bricks to allow free drainage.

Put broken crocks over the drainage holes and if you have something like coarse gravel put a 1 inch layer to help with drainage.

Place some compost next and then arrange the plant centrally. Pack more compost round the edges making sure there are no air pockets and allow at least 10 cms below the rim to allow for watering and mulching.

A loam based compost, such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nutrient richâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is better than a peat

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Nellie, who got her name from the Nissan Elgrand that she is, and who also happens to be rather large, wearing her long, black skirts to cover her ‘oversized thighs’, is the Dorset Publications travelling campervan! This summer she took us to the Isle of Wight.

She had friends with her too. “Lady J”, the rather posh Jaguar belonging to my sister and her proud husband and also the “Matrix”, my Mum and Dad’s new automatic Hyundai car. The latter was especially bought for the occasion as Dad is having a few difficulties with his knee. These are the same knees which won the 100 yards East Yorkshire Sprint Championship in 1949 at the age of 14! Dad even came 3rd in the whole of the Yorkshire Championships.

It seemed to be running in the family as Dad’s grandfather was the 10 Mile Yorkshire Champion. He was only 4’ 11” and told that he was too small

Lady J & Nellie, by Martin Budden

Lady J, Matrix & Nellie at Dinosaur Isle

Family breakfast on clubhouse verandah for rugby, so took to cross country running instead. Unfortunately, with my Dad, that is where the sportsmanship era ended, as both my sister and I will now tell you that walking to the nearest coffee shop is what we do best!

Anyway, Nellie with my Mum, Dad, sister and my brother-in-law in Lady J and the Matrix all set off in convoy for the Isle of Wight for a week. We lost ‘Lady J’ at the first hurdle, as Nellie and the Matrix both managed to get on the early ferry, by chance, leaving Lady J standing at the port as we sailed away!

We were not to be floundered and took a slow drive around the Isle until we all met up again and then made our way to where we were staying - Rookley Country Park in the centre of the Isle of Wight. Sue and I had chosen it, as much to our Mum’s ‘incredulity’, it had a fishing lake for Dad and a swimming pool for Hayden. The youngest and eldest were therefore well catered for.

Mum has had a lifetime of fishing with Dad. In addition to his running skills, and having also played football for Hull

Grandad and Hayden show off their catches City Boys, Dad has been a keen angler from a very early age. Twice he fished for Hull in the National Championships where 1200 anglers took part. Many a weekend when we were young was spent fishing - so Sue and I thought this was perfect.The two lakes at Rookley Country Park are very well stocked and I recommend them to the new and very experienced fisherman alike. There is a carp lake where you can catch carp up to 40 pounds in weight. Dad did catch some good sized fish in the smaller pond with Hayden who had fun catching small rudd and carp – 29 fish was his best afternoon’s catch! Take a look at our photos to prove it… Great fun. We ladies had a fantastic spa day at Liz Earle’s in Ryde whilst the boys were fishing. We all came back thoroughly refreshed!

Picnic time at Carisbrooke Castle

The week was a total success, except, as my sister put it, the ‘orchestra of snoring’ in the caravan that we all stayed in! All in all I think we visited most major towns of the Island with a visit to the Needles, taking the chair lift to the sea and a boat ride to see the Needles themselves. Dinosaur Isle was fun with lots of fossils and life like dinosaurs to give you a real flavour of how it used to be on the Jurassic Coast many many years ago. The Garlic Farm was also interesting and I now have a challenge to grow one of my own…

Carisbrooke Castle was fascinating and, although this was not our best day for weather, we still had great views of the Island walking around the ramparts.

For those that don’t know, it is where Charles 1st hid from his enemies before he was then kept as prisoner and later executed for Treason. Nothing like a bit of history to get you thinking!

So if anyone is wondering where to go, that is not too far away, yet you feel that you are, the Isle of Wight could be just what you are looking for. Nellie did great and the picnic at Carisbrooke, with the whistling kettle made it all the more fun!

Where will Nellie go next? See next month’s issue of… The Bournemouth 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.

Susie is looking for a new home Hi, I’m Susie and when I came into WTR I was very pregnant, but thanks to all the helpers here I was looked after very well and gave birth to two healthy puppies, Lenny and Summer, they are now with their new families and I would love to have a new family of my own. I am a very good girl in the house and I soon settle down in a car, I will need about two hours exercise a day and am good on a short lead but still need some work, I will also need lots of work on recall when off the lead as I have only been let off the lead in a secure field.

I am a very loving, friendly and responsive little girl, but as I came from the pound no one knows much about me, so I need lots of training to help me fit in and be an asset to the right family, preferably with no small children or other pets.

To talk to Waggy Tails Rescue about adopting 4 year old Susie or any of the other animals in our care, please call us on 01202 875000 or come along to one of our presentation days held at the West Parley Memorial Hall, Christchurch Road, West Parley (near Hurn Airport) on the 1st Saturday of every month at 9.45am.

You can also contact us on the above number if you would like a member of our team to come and talk to your school or group about the work we do, we are now taking bookings.
