Dear Neighbours!

Well it has been all go in our house with Hayden settled into his new middle school. We are back to swimming lessons, brass band practice and homework!

All good fun and often a challenge, fitting everything in. Hayden is a pretty keen swimmer, swimming for the Swim Bournemouth Club which does mean some early mornings – starting at 5.45am on a Friday and 7am on a Saturday… That is early for me! I do take my hat off to those parents who have really sacrificed a lot to help their children become great sports people.

It takes quite some dedication by the whole family.

I don’t think Hayden will make the Olympics, but it is a great sport and one Stephen and I are happy to support him in. It gets him away from the computer for a while, which can also be a challenge…

We have had a good month putting the magazine together for you. There are some new advertisers for you to see. Do take a look and see who may be able to help you, and of course tell them that you got their details from The West Moors Directory.

This is the 102nd edition and I still love to hear that the local trades and businesses are getting calls and bookings from us! Webbs the butchers in the village has a fantastic offer on 8oz steaks, so don’t miss out on those – page 34. West Moors Youth Club also needs help or it will have to close! Please take a look at page 14 and if you know of anyone who can help, do contact Steve Hunt.

The lucky winner of the meal for two at The Tap and Railway last month was Mrs D Johnson. Well done to you!

We hope life is going well for you all and you are getting out and about. Nellie took us to Compton Abbas this month – very exciting. See pages 28 and 29.

Have a great month of October and keep warm.

Best wishes,

Focus on Francis Poole, the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch hospitals provide respected and highly regarded NHS care to hundreds of thousands of patients in east Dorset every year.

In national assessments and reports, these hospitals consistently perform at a high level against a range of key standards and quality indicators. Comprehensive surveys of patient views also paint a positive picture of how hospital care is viewed by those who receive it.

Achieving these high standards requires a continued commitment to quality from the board of directors to the wards, and a sharp focus on providing truly patientcentred care.

The tragic consequences of losing sight of these basic objectives were highlighted earlier this year in a damning report which examined the causes of substandard care provided by Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust.

The Francis Report, published in February, marked the culmination of a year-long public inquiry into the systemic failings at that trust, and sent reverberations throughout the NHS and further afield.

At the heart of the report, its author, Robert Francis QC, called for a re-emphasis on ensuring the needs of patients come first.

So how did hospitals in east Dorset respond to this report?

At Poole, the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch hospitals, it provided an opportunity to re-evaluate the fundamentals of how quality care is delivered and whether genuine emphasis was placed on each and every patient and their individual needs. In short, were they getting the basics right?

The report’s 290 recommendations were reviewed in detail as a matter of urgency in order to provide assurance that the failures identified at Mid Staffs could not be repeated here.

Each hospital also held a series of listening events, providing an opportunity for more than 300 staff working in a wide range of roles to discuss the Francis Report with members of both trust’s management boards.

In addition, patient and public involvement groups were

The West Moors Directory

asked to give their views on the report and the care offered at their local hospitals.

Understanding individual patient experiences and where care exceeds or falls short of expectations is vital, says Martin Smits, Director of Nursing and Patient Services at Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. “It is all too easy in the wake of the terrible stories which emerged from Mid Staffs to forget the excellent work taking place in the NHS,” said Martin.

“Locally, we know from national surveys that our patients rate both our hospitals highly, which is a huge encouragement to us and spurs us on to deliver even better care and service.

“What I believe is essential is peering underneath these headlines, to look at the factors that make an individual patient’s experience in hospital good, and where it could have been improved.

“We can only do that by listening to patients and our staff.”

Paula Shobbrook, Director of Nursing at The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, agrees. “No one knows more about what is happening at the forefront of patient care than those responsible for delivering it and those receiving it,” said Paula.

“These experiences and viewpoints - good and bad - are essential in order for us, as board members, to know how we are doing.

“Trust boards receive a vast amount of information on quality and performance. Coupling this with the views of staff, as we have done through our post-Francis Report listening events, and the experiences of our patients, provides invaluable insight.

“Our ‘putting patients first’ commitment is just that - it’s a highly visible declaration that our aim is to ensure that at all times our focus remains on our patients and nothing else.”

Martin cites Poole Hospital’s longstanding commitment to patients - the Poole Approach – as a key factor in ensuring standards at his hospital remain consistently high. “The Poole Approach may have been introduced more than a decade ago, but its central tenet has never been more true - ‘patient centred care with dignity and respect for all’,” he said.

Whichever way this commitment to the needs of patients is packaged, both Martin and Paula are in complete agreement on one issue - when it comes to high quality care, complacency is simply not an option.

WEST MOORS YOUTH CLUB TO CLOSE West Moors Youth & Community Club WILL HAVE TO CLOSE its doors in December 2013 if new management committee members are not found to carry on the management of the club.

The management committee meet quarterly to oversee the running of the club with regard to building maintenance, fund raising and support to the Youth Leader.

The Club has been running for 55 years being an important part of the community for young people and their parents. The Club is situated in Bond Avenue West Moors and looks out onto Fryers Field where the young people can meet and chill out with their friends or play sport, use the bouncy castle and sometimes enjoy a BBQ. Inside the club the young people can enjoy music from the TV or bring their own, tournaments are organised in pool, darts, table tennis and badminton by older members or the fully qualified Youth Leaders.

The club has its own canteen for refreshments and a spot of cooking.

A room can be set aside for education with its own TV for educational videos.

Mondays nights between 7.30 and

9.30 is set aside for age group Year 9 and Tuesdays nights is set aside for age groups Years 7 and 8.

The club has been recently refurbished and is disabled access friendly, it can also be hired for young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday parties and special events.

It would be a shame for club to close as it is an important part of the local community and would be a great loss to the young people of West Moors and the surrounding area.

If you are interested in being part of our committee or feel you can help young people, please contact Steve Hunt, Chairman, on 01202 892172 or come along to out next committee meeting on the 25th October 2013 at 7.00pm in the Youth Club in Bond Avenue, West Moors.

Bring some elegance to your flooring This was one the premises behind the decision to open flooring elegance, not another ‘standard carpet shop’, but a place to really see what can be done.

The flooring studio doesn’t just display carpets, it displays inspirational ideas to guide you to the right decision. When you still can’t decide Anthony and Rob are there to guide you in the right direction.

Rob says, “With a wealth of knowledge and experience from over a decade each spent in the carpet and flooring industry, we thought it was about time we would show off our skills to the local area.

“Moving with the times is really important to us and with all the new materials and designs now available, we can really turn

your dreams into reality.

“We are passionate about providing value for money with that creative twist that will bring your room to life.

“Pop in to see us at John Browns Garden Centre or go online to our website, www.flooringelegance.co.uk, for a little inspiration.”

It’s Panto Time once again!

Oh no it isn’t... Oh yes it is!!

With just over 10 weeks to go, BH Live is already getting in the Panto spirit!

Glitter, glitz and glam were in abundance at The Terrace Bistro - Bournemouth Pavilion as guests flocked to celebrate the launch of Aladdin – The Pavilion Pantomime, sponsored by Aruba Restaurant and Bar. I was lucky enough to be able to catch up with Chris Jarvis and ask him a few questions...

Having been born in Romford, Essex, what was it that drew you to make Bournemouth your home?

It was actually pantomime... In 2002, we did Cinderella in Bournemouth with Ruth Madoc. I loved the people and the atmosphere. With family close by it was a seaside resort that we had also visited a lot.

With appearances at Butlins early in your career, had you always wanted to be in entertainment as a child?

Yes. I used to do impersonations a lot and try to make people laugh. I think it helped a little to not get bullied so much when other kids found it funny.

What was your “big break” to get into presenting?

I was doing a voice on the radio called “The Anorak” and got invited into the Broom Cupboard on CBBC. From there it led into other programmes.

Did you go to drama school?

No. There are two main routes into the entertainment business. One is drama school and the other is variety. I was lucky enough to do the latter through experience at holiday camps and other

With Chris Jarvis at the Aladdin launch such venues.

You have performed in pantomime professionally every year since 1995, what do you enjoy the most?

The variety of it all. Being able to do pretty much anything and generally being able to entertain audiences of any age. Also the ability, particularly here to make it very relevant for local people.

Who would you most like to star in panto with?

I think that Kelsey Grammer from Frasier would make an excellent pantomime villain!

You can see Chris and the rest of the cast performing at The Pavilion from Saturday 7 December 2013 to Sunday 5 January 2014.

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Nellie, the Dorset Publications travelling campervan took us through wonderful English rolling countryside to North Dorset this month. The views on route really are magnificent. Hayden would love to be a pilot he tells us, so we thought we would drive to the airfield and take a look at the idyllic setting of Compton Abbas. There is in fact a caravan site right there. You need to be a member of a caravan club to stay, and although we didn’t stay this time, it is certainly one we will revisit and make the most of in the future! Compton Abbas is set in Thomas Hardy country whose work was very much influenced by his rural surroundings. The airfield itself is 800 feet above sea level with 27 miles of gorgeous views on a clear day.

On the way there we passed Horton’s Tower, which is a folly built in 1750. A folly is literally a building built by the rich for no purpose other than to look at and admire! This tower is 140 feet tall and was built by the Lord of Horton

Nellie with Horton Tower behind

‘Phesant Alley’ - we saw about 10 all told Manor who was an architect and also an MP for Dorset between 1745 and 1786. Nowadays I found out, the tower is used by Vodafone to hide mobile phone masts! At least the folly has finally been put to use. It is also a way to help preserve the old building. You can see Nellie here with the folly in the background.

Continuing on our journey to Compton Abbas we drove through tiny lanes, that Nellie’s thighs could only just manage. One lane Stephen nicknamed ‘Pheasant Alley’ due to amount of pheasants crossing the very narrow road! You really are ‘out in the sticks’ and I have to say I like that after a busy week working.

On arriving at the airfield I thought we wouldn’t see many planes taking off as the weather had been pretty mixed, but to our delight the sun started shining and we did indeed see about 10 planes take off and land.

It is really exciting! There are many different types of small planes and I

Nice spot for a lovely cuppa!

The restaurant’s outdoor viewing area

suggest you take a look at their website www.comptonabbasairfield.co.uk to get a full flavour of all the men and women ‘in their magnificent flying machines’… We have some photos for you here to give you an idea.

We had a great day out. Stephen is looking at treating Hayden to a flying lesson for his Birthday (shush…don’t tell Hayden!). To our surprise we learned you can be as young as 7 to fly your own plane… with a trained pilot of course! This will either make Hayden more determined to become a pilot, or maybe he will decide to take a different career after all. I wonder which?

There is a restaurant at the site which has a great reputation for home made food. You can go for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. Wine is also on the menu.

Group bookings can be taken and, with fantastic views of the countryside and the runway where the planes take off and land, it would be an ideal place for a special occasion! In fact on this trip we saw someone having a 50th birthday celebration.

As always we enjoyed our picnic in the van with the whistling kettle… it wouldn’t be the same without it. So where will Nellie go next? See in next month’s issue of The West Moors Directory!

WITH VERWOOD CONCERT BRASS WEST MOORS MEMORIAL HALL 7.30pm SATURDAY 19th OCTOBER

Verwood Concert Brass’s heritage dates back 149 years to 1864 when it was known as the Verwood Temperance Band. Members of the band are therefore looking forward to celebrating the 150 year anniversary next year but it is unlikely to be emulating its roots by being a totally temperate affair.

The organisation has come a long way since its early beginnings and is proud to boast that it has not one band but three! For many years Verwood Concert Brass has recognised the value of nurturing new players through running a training band but in 2009 it was apparent that there were now so many players that a second main band could be formed. This is the Verwood Concert Brass B Band, which will be performing for us.

The musical repertoire of the brass band is wide and varied so expect to be entertained with music from the movies, something for the classically minded, some foottapping traditional marches, a chart topper or two and maybe even a Eurovision Song Contest winner.

Tickets are £8 for adults and £4 for children which includes refreshments, available from Chris Wilson 01202 890098, Peter Dunning 01202 871616 or Jim Selby Quality Butchers.

Talking about Wildlife...

Some Facts about Bats Revered and feared, but rarely understood, bats have left few cultures indifferent during their millions of years of existence on earth. With their unusual anatomy – they are the only true flying mammals – silent flight and mythical reputation, bats have inspired many a folk story across the globe.

In Britain, there are 17 species of breeding bats of which the pipistrelles, the brown long-eared bat, the noctule and Daubenton’s bat are the most common. All British bats restrict their diet to insects only, devouring up to 3000 insects a night, from midges and moths to mosquitoes and beetles. Their massive appetites are necessary to sustain energy for their nocturnal adventures. Although bats are far from blind, they do not rely on their eyes for hunting but locate their prey using a sophisticated system known as echolocation.

Bats often live in close quarters to humans, but can be hard to observe, since the sounds that they make are too high pitched for the human ear.

They don’t build nests but roost in a variety of habitats, from hollow trees and caves to houses and churches, even tunnels. They often use different locations at different times of year, depending on their roosting needs.

Female bats produce only one pup a year, around June. As winter approaches, bats get

ready to hibernate, and in the colder months, you may find yourself co-habiting with a bat that has chosen your loft for its winter retreat. Please remember all bats are legally protected and must not be disturbed.

If you find an injured bat or need any other help with bats, ring the bat helpline on 0845 1300 228. For more information about the lives of these fascinating creatures and how to help them, go on Bat Conservation trust website on http:// www.bats.org.uk/.

On Thursday 31st October at the Kingcombe Centre, West Dorset, come along and have a go at using our ‘bat detector’, with a chance to explore nocturnal wildlife through remote camera traps, and try something tasty at the Kingcombe Café! For more information, please visit: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org. uk/events.
