Welcome...

The West Moors Directory

Dear Neighbours, We are coming up to that all important, busy time of year, so I hope you are Edition 115 getting ready. I actually bought my first Christmas present a few days ago which is unusually early for me! So now is the time to put the house straight, have someone else clean for you, get rid of those stains in the carpets, buy new Stephen & Debbie Corney curtains, fix the washing and our son Hayden machine, treat yourself to a woodburner, have the loft converted, or even have the chimney swept? There are ideas for presents inside too...how about a new bike from Motabitz, or car parts for the hubbie? Don’t miss the Carols at the Petwyn on 5th December. I always look forward to that. There is the Bowie Experience at the Barrington. Our very own West Moors Drama Society presents the comedy, “Drinking Habits”. There is a charity concert at St Mary’s Church and you can share Christmas with those at the Pinehurst Community Church. The West Moors Social Club have all you need for a good night out or how about a family portrait for Christmas by Studio 5 Photography? Always a winner with the Grandparents. There are of course those services that can help you personally as well as many other trades all listed in our index at the back, so do take a look and see who can help you this autumn.

Ann Montini met Anton Du Beke from Strictly this month. Oh yes...

Nellie has had a few problems, so if you have a bit of a sense of humour and want a smile please have a read. All good fun. On page 51 is our prize wordsearch which was won in October by Mrs Sandra Cooper. Well done. Who is going to be the lucky winner this month?

Here’s to a great November and beginning of December!

Very best wishes,

. . . s r a t S e h t s t e e m i Ann Montin

This month’s star is

Anton du Beke Ann caught up with Strictly Come Dancing star Anton du Beke in London.

Ann – Which book do you keep returning too?

Ann – You’re busier than ever, but looking forward to the new SCD?

Anton – “Fred Astaire’s autobiography ‘Steps In Time’. He’s a hero of mine, which you may have guessed, and like me, not great looking, but boy he could dance, so who needs looks with that kind of talent.”

Anton – “As ever it’s a great show, super team and this year a big change...”

Ann – Ah yes, no Bruce?

Anton – “Really going to miss him, we all are, but, you know it has evolved, and I think the girls will do a great job to be honest.”

Ann – How did you land the famous job on the show?

Anton – “Basic audition really, got called back, and it just went from there, no one knew just how big it would become though. “ Ann – Who inspired you to dance at first then?

Anton – “The Band Wagon with Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse from 1953. Watching them dance inspired me, Brilliant film, and it just had everything really, and what is more it’s not dated at all.“ Ann – How would you like to be most remembered?

Anton – “I’m a Catholic, so at my end party, it would be in a church, and everyone would come in to ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’,

by Sammy Davis Jr. I’d like a tomb with a dressing room door, and a sign saying, ‘Do Not Disturb‘ .” (laughing)

Ann – You had your own cooking show ‘Step up to the Plate‘ any more shows like Bake Off maybe?

Anton – “I loved doing that show, and it was a huge success, but as yet my cooking skills are best left as a presenter, and I would not rule out ‘Bake Off ’ as it’s such a great format, but can I bake?”

Ann – Your golden rules for dancing?

Anton – “Well I don’t drink, I eat lightly, and above all else blooming enjoy it, or else what is the point?“ Ann – Many people thought you should have replaced Sir Bruce... thoughts?

Anton – “Oh that is so nice, and yes I would have loved the job, but who knows what the future holds, I mean I think the girls will do a terrific job. And for me I just can’t wait to see the new series take off once again.“

Ann – You danced with super model Jerry Hall. Good fun?

Anton – “She was great fun, and super fit too, with a wonderful grace that models have... its odd you see, because you honestly never know who you are going to get, and that is half the fun really.“

Preparing for Winter Winter is a particularly busy period for our hospitals, as our services come under increasing pressure while we support you with those health issues that worsen during colder months. We rely on you to use services wisely, in particular our Emergency Department (ED), so we can concentrate on those who really need immediate care. By going to the right place, it also means that you will receive treatment more quickly and in the most appropriate way and environment for your symptoms.

Our ED is incredibly busy, seeing on average 234 patients a day and should only be used for lifethreatening emergencies. If you are not sure if it’s an emergency call 111 for advice.

Feeling under the weather?

We are also supporting the NHS winter campaign, ‘Feeling under the weather?’

The campaign urges those who are over 60 (and those who look after an older friend, neighbour or relative) to seek early advice from their pharmacist for minor illnesses this winter.

If you’re over 60 a minor illness can get worse quickly. The campaign encourages people feeling under the weather with a bad cough, trouble breathing, a cold or sore throat, to pop down to their local pharmacy for quick health advice.

What we are doing to help We are already working with our health and social care partners to develop a plan that maintains essential services through the busy winter: • our Ambulatory Emergency Care Clinic (AEC) will extend its hours and will be supported by additional nurse practitioners • we will be opening additional beds, and recruitment of extra staff is already underway • we have supported funding for additional doctors, pharmacists, discharge key workers and therapists to help our patients get back home quicker You vs Flu Many of you will already have had your flu jab and we are also encouraging our staff to be vaccinated against the flu virus in order to protect you further if you come into one of our hospitals.

We have launched our ‘You vs Flu’ initiative which has already seen more than 2,000 members of our staff given the free immunisation.

The West Moors Directory

Consultant for Elderly Care, Divya Tiwari, says: “I get my flu jab regularly every year as I am in constant contact with patients and more prone to getting the virus. It is vital we all get vaccinated.”

Here are our top 10 tips for keeping safe and well this winter: 1. Stay warm – ensure your heating is working and have your boiler serviced before cold weather.

The temperature in your main living room should be between 18-21 degrees (65-70F) and the rest of the house should be a minimum of 16 degrees (61F) 2. Eat well - have at least one hot meal a day 3. Wear layers – remember to wrap up 4. Keep active - move about in your home every couple of hours to maintain your body temperature 5. Have your winter flu jab – to reduce the risk of you getting a serious bout of flu 6. Be careful - don’t go out in icy weather, or when it is dark and you can’t see so well 7. Stay safe - if you live alone, consider getting a bleep alarm that you can press if you need help 8. Be prepared – keep your cupboards stocked with long-life foods ensuring you have plenty to eat in case you are unable to get out 9. Ensure you have plenty of your prescribed medications 10. Ask for help and advice: from Care Direct (Social Services): 01202 454979, Age UK: 01202 530530 or Help and Care: 0300 1113303

 Carols at the Petwyn  West Moors Carols at the Petwyn will take place on Friday 5th December 2014, starting at 6.00pm.

This event is organized by the West Moors Youth Club, supported by the Churches, the Parish Council, local schools and local businesses.

Station Road will be closed for the evening from 5.45pm at the junctions of Glenwood Road and Moorside Road with a diversion route in place.

As usual, carols will be sung at the Petwyn following the arrival of children from the village walking from the United Reform Church carrying parcels of presents to be collected and sent to the children around the world who are less fortunate than ourselves. This project is organized by Samaritans Purse Inter national Relief (see www.samaritanspurse.uk.com) and is often called the shoe box gift as the gifts are Christmas wrapped in a shoe box and collected by the organizers, who in turn forward them on.

In addition, this year there will be a ‘Special Santa Surprise’ during the evening, which you will not want to miss!!

The community is invited to join in this event with local community groups and traders running stalls in Station Road and the traders of the village are opening in the evening.

The proceeds from this event go towards the running costs of the West Moors Youth Club and we would like to thank all those who support us in this event. In addition to the Council and Churches, we would like to thank

local businesses who have provided significant support, in various ways.

In particular, we would like to thank our main sponsor Brewer & Brewer and the following businesses:The Blue Barber Shop, The Co-op, Dixon Kelley, The Elephant & Castle, Handsome Hounds, Leanne’s of West Moors, The Local Epicentre Coffee Lounge, Moors Pharmacy, Selby Butchers, Tesco, Three Wishes Card Shop, Waves Hair Salon and The West Moors Directory.

If you would like to take part in the event, either as a trader, community group or helper please contact Kurt Hallam 01202 896367. We look forward to seeing you during the evening

Beautiful Poole Pottery Poole on the lovely south coast of Dorset is famous for many things and none more than its Poole Pottery.

Many people ask me and are under the wrong impression that Poole do not produce pottery any more. The pottery has had a lot of changes in recent years, moving production from Poole 2uay to Sopers Lane and then to Stoke on Trent, the home of pottery. Most of these changes were due to financial problems and different owners hoping to make their mark and fortune. They are now owned by the Denby pottery group,and production of table/ giftware is at Stoke, whilst high end studio pottery is still made at Poole Quay, employing UXP potters and UISFF paintresses doing work of exceptional quality.

There is a Poole Pottery Collectors Club of which * am the Treasurer.

If you would like to join, the annual subscription is ÂŁ27 for that you get access to our website, which is full of information and photos UXP club magazines a handmade and decorated piece of pottery invite to annual local gala day, with chance to listen to and meet celebrity guest speaker, some form of pottery related activity informal bi-monthly get together of members CVU best of all JT B 15% discount on Poole Pottery Studio Items.

Law Spot ...providing the answers

to your legal questions

Every month the solicitors and lawyers at Harold G Walker will be providing answers to your questions about the law.

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney and why is it recommended to have one?

It is a sad fact of life that we all know someone who has been seriously ill during their lifetime. This is why most of us insure our lives and probably our incomes. However, have you thought about the practical consequences of getting ill? If you get ill you may suffer some unintended practical, legal and financial consequences. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a straightforward way to deal with these issues.

A LPA is a legal document which allows you to appoint someone to run your affairs if you are incapacitated due to illness or accident (or indeed to simply act on your behalf when you cannot act for yourself for any other reason). You use the document to appoint a trusted person(s) to act on your behalf – you can appoint upto four persons and replacements. These persons are called your “Attorneys” and can be any persons of your choice. They are usually a friend or family member but can be a professional such as your solicitor.

There are two different types of LPA via which you can appoint attorneys to act on your behalf in relation to your health and welfare, and/or your property and financial affairs. You can include restrictions and guidance for your attorneys in the LPA (ie that they cannot act on your behalf until they have medical evidence that you no longer have the mental capacity to look after your own financial affairs).

Your attorneys cannot do whatever they like – they must follow the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (this includes helping you to make as many of your own decisions as possible. They cannot presume you cannot make your own decisions just because you have made an unwise decision etc).

You can only set up an LPA while you have the mental capacity to make decisions. If you become mentally unable to make your own decisions, the Courts will appoint a Deputy to work on your behalf.

A Deputy works very much like an Attorney, but has the added complexity of strict Court oversight and involvement (which results in the inevitable extra costs and delays for you in the long run).

You can cancel an LPA at any time, provided that you still have the mental capacity to make decisions on your own.

I believe everyone over the age of 18 should set up a LPA – consider it an insurance policy with the cost incurred being a one off insurance premium.

Once completed you can keep the LPA in a safe place and fingers crossed you will never need to look at it again.

However if your health does decline you can rest in the knowledge that someone of your own choice, someone you trust, will be looking after your affairs for you.

Hear better and enjoy family time this Christmas Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for those who have a hearing loss.

Not understanding what is being said in a busy or noisy environment can be isolating and make it very difficult to join in family conversation.

What are the signs of hearing loss?

• Do other people seem to mumble rather than speak clearly to you?

• Do people often have to repeat things for you before you understand what they say?

• Do you have difficulty understanding what is being said in noisy places, such as pubs or restaurants, even though other people manage to have conversations?

• When you are talking to people in a group, is it hard to keep up with the conversation?

• Do you find it tiring to listen to conversations because you have to concentrate hard?

• Do other people think your television or music is too loud but you cannot hear it properly if they turn it down?

If you experience any of these situations, you may have a hearing loss.

Did you know that in the UK nine million people have some level of hearing loss?

– So you’re not alone.

The truth is that living life to the fullest includes hearing well. If you’re not hearing all that you should, Clarity Hearing Solutions can help you take that most important step in reconnecting with your world.

Call them today on 01202 820638 to arrange a free hearing evaluation.

Adventures of Nellie

38

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Only those with a sense of humour are invited to read... Poor Nellie has had a rough time of it this last month. Old girls need attention as the body does start to feel the signs of old age and ‘parts’ begin to slow you down and cause you trouble. We all know what that is like don’t we! It started with a blow out tyre going to see a friend in Swanage. What a let down. We were all fine, but Nellie’s laddered stocking needed a man to sort her out. Her rather large posterior with long skirts to cover it up just wouldn’t let our jack go beneath. Who can blame her!

The RAC man was fantastic and came to the rescue. Nellie smiled, in a relieved sort of way, once he got her back on her feet with a temporary new high wheel to

Nellie’s undercarriage gets an inspection

How do we get that under there?? get her on the road again. The owners and staff at The Halfway Inn were such a welcome sight for me and Hayden who had a nice cup of tea and packet of crisps while we were waiting. Not a bad place to break down actually!

As if that wasn’t enough. Just a few days before her MOT Nellie developed what I can only describe as rheumatoid arthritis.

She was in pain, juddering as we were going along, she was just not happy at all. She stalled a couple of times, out of breath and panting. Hopeful as we were, we thought she would make it to the MOT. Not the case. The very day of the MOT Stephen and Hayden were in Ferndown delivering the magazines to our distributors. Nellie was working hard.

Approaching the traffic lights at a busy crossing Nellie collapsed in complete exhaustion. Oh no, heart failure! It wasn’t a good place to stop and drivers were flashing at Nellie, hooting their horns.

Not only was she ill, beat with overwork, but now people were telling her off too.

It was all a bit much. (I have given her

39 some counselling since then and she is doing much better.) A very nice man, who is a mechanic himself, stopped to help with another helpful man, and together they were able to push poor Nellie (they must have been pretty strong as Nellie is a whopping great 2 tonnes) into the side street. Lost, forlorn, deflated, Nellie was not going anywhere. “Aaahhh” I hear you all say. Nellie’s alternator, otherwise know as her heart, was broken... As I was not in the van, Hayden called me on the phone to give me the traumatic news, “Nellie has broken down Mum!” He sounded so distraught. We have such an affinity for Nellie, she is part of the family, as you can see! Again the RAC man came to the rescue. (I hope our premium doesn’t go up...) He managed to resuscitate her enough for Stephen to drive her to ‘the car and van hospital’ at Longham Motor Engineers. We have known Ian and his ‘gang’ for a long time and if anyone could bring Nellie back to life, it would be him.

They worked on Nellie all day, put her on the ramp to get to a good look at her under carriage, gave her a pace maker (alias new alternator), a blood tranfusion (diesel fuel conditioner) and a few new light bulbs to make her shine. Let’s face

Hurrah... Nellie is back on the road!

The West Moors Directory

Nellie having her brakes serviced it what girl doesn’t like a bit of bling and even her name in lights! She also had her brakes cleaned so she can stop easily if she gets over excited and three new high wheels from Bob at Tyres of Ferndown, to really show off her voluptuous figure.

Hayden and I were waiting nervously, wondering if Nellie would make it. Pacing the floor, tense conversations, it was all very stressful. Then Ian called and declared, “Nellie is ok!” She would live for at least another year... she had made it!! We were utterly relieved, exhausted ourselves and totally over the moon.

All I can say after this traumatic experience, is please do not let anything really serious happen in the Corney household!

This month I can happily say... Where will Nellie go next...?

A Solar Photovoltaic Panel System has never been more affordable.

While still qualifying for a 20 year government grant in the form of the Feed in Tariff (FIT).

Prices have reached their lowest point as manufacturing requirements cap further reductions.

To take advantage of a 50% reduction in electricity costs and government payments before they run out, the time is right to end the misery of energy price rises and reap a 10-12% return on your investment.

Enphase Micro Inverters as Standard on all NGPS Systems A breakthrough in solar technology has seen the use of Enphase Energy UK micro inverters increase in recent years.

With a 25 year warranty, Enphase micro inverters are our preferred solution for optimised energy generation to speed up payback on your solar energy investment.

Looked at solar before? Enphase is the answer for small roofs and those prone to shading or dust.

Do you generate excess Energy from existing Solar Panels?

For just £375 we will fit an i-Boost to your system, diverting excess energy into the generation of FREE hot water.

Renewable Energy Heating & Hot Water With the launch of the government’s Renewable Heat Incentive RHI grant, payable over 7 years, there has never been a better time to replace your boiler with renewable energy options such as Air Source, Ground Source or Biomass Heating. These highly efficient systems will outlive a traditional boiler several times and offer the most intuitive and highly efficient solution for 24/7 heat and hot water.

Solar Thermal Install one of the oldest renewable energy systems in the UK - Solar Thermal, for nine months FREE Hot Water.

Why customer’s have put their trust in us for over 20 years We provide local support. We operate under strict code of conduct for the electrical & renewable energy industry.

West Moors Lunch and Friendship Club

The West Moors Lunch and Friendship Club meet on a Wednesday in St Anthony of Padua church hall, Pinehurst Road.

Members arrive in time for a chat and a look at the table sale of greetings and Christmas cards, books and donated items before lunch.

Following lunch members have an hour of table games or entertainment, afternoon tea & cakes, some of which are regularly made by one of the helpers.

Lastly we finish with bingo.

We all enjoyed our anniversary with entertainment by the Indigo Duo and a cream tea, the scones being made by another of the helpers. Looking forward we have exercises with Kim, a song and perhaps a dance with Paul Spencer and a wildlife talk by Brian Petit.

Club contact: Joan on 01202 891519 Supported by:

WEST MOORS ART SOCIETY Have you an interest in painting and drawing?

Why not join the friendly group who meet in the West Moors Memorial Hall on Monday mornings. You will be very welcome.

There is an ongoing exhibition in the local Library of members work for sale so why not add to this.

A demonstration by a professional artist is enjoyed on the second Monday in each month with members, always happy to help each other, meeting for untutored workshops on all other Mondays.

Ali Lindley will be with us on November 10th to demonstrate “a freestyle use of paint” using watercolours which should be interesting and very informative.

This is the final demonstration this year!

Money Saving Tips

Martin

LEWIS Train Prices Train ticket prices are to logic what reindeer are to scrabble. In other words, they’ve nothing in common. If you want to save money on the train, take the logic book and throw it out of the window. While travelling by train can be cheap, efficient and easy, the pricing system is a mess. So to really hone down the cheapest priced tickets you need to understand and combine first the simple tips, then the bizarre…

Book 12 weeks early for cheaper fares Most people know if you book early you’ll get cheaper advance train tickets. Yet it’s important to understand these are generally sold in tranches, in other words there’s a set number of each type, so the aim is to buy them before they go.

The key time to look is around 12 weeks before you want to travel, as that’s when the timetable is set so most operators launch their advance tickets then or within a couple of weeks giving you maximum choice. So if you know you’ve got something pencilled in you need to travel to, diarise so you can be ready to pounce.

Grab a (discounted) railcard There are more national railcards available than there used to be.

These normally cost £30 (though often there are codes to discount this check on www.mse.me/traindeals) and reduce all fares by a third. Therefore if you’re likely to spend over £90 even on a oneoff trip it’s worth it.

The main cards are…

Family & Friends Railcard. Two people can be named on this, and then a named person and up to three other adults can travel and get 30% off the fare, providing you’re travelling with between one and four kids, who get 60% off.

Two Together Railcard. This one’s relatively new. It gives two named people on the card providing they’re travelling together a third off. If you often travel with different people, you could be named on more than one card to cover the combinations.

Senior Railcard. This gets over 60’s a third off.

16-25 Railcard. Also a third off, though it’s often cheapest to buy the 3 years card (and worth remembering to do it before your 24th birthday to give you maximum time).

Get advance discounts late Never assume that you’re too close to travel to book an advance or discounted fare. Walk on fares are often far costlier than those even booked a day or so in advance. Always check via the rail companies own site. Check via sites like www.redspottedhanky.com, www.takethetrain.co.uk, www.eastcoast.co.uk and www.nationalrail.co.uk.

Singles can beat returns Lots of top deals are only available on one-way fares and cheaper fares are often available for two single tickets, but not the return.

Do a quick search for both options and work out the difference in price before you finalise your booking.

Split tickets, not the journey Now it’s time to really throw the logic book out of the window to

make some really big savings. Instead of buying tickets for the whole journey, instead bizarrely buying tickets for its constituent parts separately can slash the price – even though you're travelling on exactly the same train, at the same time, possibly in the same seat.

It's perfectly allowed within the National Rail Conditions of Carriage and the only rule is that the train must call at the stations you buy tickets for. I’ve built a tool www.mse.me/ticketysplit that searches for variants for you to see if you can save.

One of the best ever examples I’ve seen of this was on a direct London to Durham return when the cheapest ticket was £301. Yet buying four singles for the same journey: London to York, which was one of the stops, York to Durham, and then in reverse, was £82 for the same train at the same time - possibly even the same seats. However, it’s important to understand that this is an example - the savings vary train by train. Even an hour later the same split may not work, so you need to check each time or use the various web tools available to find your split.

Look for hidden promos Lots of train companies have hidden promotions buried on their websites – which you won’t find if you’re going through a ticket booking website, such as TheTrainline.com or Redspottedhanky.com. For example, at the time of writing East Coast has 10% off some advance online fares and 50% off selected super off-peak tickets to London, while on Southeastern up to four kids can travel for £1 off-peak with an adult. For a full list of hidden promos go to www.mse.me/traindeals.

Buy rail tickets when not travelling by train to get discounts This sneaky trick sounds bizarre but it works. National Rail offers 2for1 discounts on a host of attractions across the UK – you just download and print out a voucher and present it with a train ticket. Attractions include Ascot Racecourse, Alton Towers and Madame Tussauds. For example, if you wanted two tickets to London Zoo, as an adult ticket costs £24, providing the train ticket is less, it’s worth buying one even if you won’t actually go by train (just pop to a station on the way). Though of course it’s an even better saving if you’re actually using it.

Know your train refund rights You may be entitled to money back for delays over 30 minutes, every operator has different rules. Technically the delay or cancellation needs be the operators fault, such as train or signal failures. Yet even when not, such as weather, strikes or maintenance work, some firms will pay out if you claim (as for a claim form when you arrive). More help in www.mse.me/ traindelays.

WEST MOORS FLOWER GROUP

Our very friendly group meets at the Memorial Hall at 10am. Visitors and new members are always welcome.

At the October meeting Irene Hickson was the demonstrator and she produced a number of very colourful arrangements based on a "Celebration" theme. Jean Allcroft will be at our meeting on 19 November when her title will be "Swirls and Curls" which sounds very intriguing. The competition for the month will be "Firework Night."

Following the Area Show in September it is clear that men are continuing to make their mark in ower arranging in this area. New members are always welcome at our meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at West Moors Memorial Hall 10am and we would be particularly pleased to see any men who would like to come along .

An example of our work!

Any enquiries to Catherine Jenkins on 01202 876441.
