Dear Neighbours, We had such a good time at the Bournemouth Edition 157 Air Show at the end of August! Hayden very excitedly told Nellie (now off the road totally after her really unfortunate accident) all about it, so do have a read. The Red Arrows pilots are so skilled. Goodness knows Stephen & Debbie Corney how Nellie would have reacted had she been able to meet them! Daichi, the Dashing Dude, the new Dorset Publications Campervan should be with us soon and we are really looking forward to him taking us out again! Watch this space as they say…

Happy Halloween to everyone. May you trick or treat and not overdose on sweets!

Have you started planning those changes to the house, before the winter months really do set in? A new kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom maybe? Perhaps a new colour on the walls, or those electrics fixed once and for all? There are many local trades and service people inside your little magazine who are here for you. They would love to hear your call or see you in person. Please let each know how you found their details as we are here to help them, help you… and we love to hear the advertisers are busy! It is what we are here for.

The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch this month was Prue Hedley. Well done! Who will be the next lucky winner?

It could be you…

Wishing you an optimistic October!

Welcome...

Understanding Hearing Loss The ear is made up of three parts. The outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear.

Sound is received by the outer ear and is channelled through the ear canal to the ear drum and the middle ear. The sound causes the ear drum to vibrate and results in the tiny bones in the middle ear tapping against each other, this vibration is transferred to the 30,000 tiny hair cells in the inner ear.

Types of hearing loss 1. Conductive hearing loss: sound is blocked in the outer or middle ear.

Causes could be • Excessive wax • Damaged ear drum • Ear infection or fluid in the middle ear • Stiffness in the bones of the middle ear Solution • Often can be medically treated • Hearing instruments can be very successful if unable to treat medically

7

2. Sensorineural hearing loss: damage to the inner hair cells or the hearing nerve impairs the transmission of sound signals to the brain.

Causes • Ageing • Noise exposure • Hereditary factors Solution • Cannot be corrected with medicine or surgery • Hearing aids can be extremely helpful If you have concerns about your hearing or are feeling hesitant about your next step, consider the vast improvements in quality of life experienced by people who take action.

Studies, and our clients, have shown that once they begin using hearing instruments they enjoy great improvements in social, emotional and physical wellbeing.

Make the first step today and call Clarity Hearing on 01202 478881 to arrange your free hearing health check.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing

company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the West Moors area

and manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Apprentice / Vocational Training Fund In recognition of the difficulties often faced by young people entering into apprenticeships or vocational training schemes, particularly in terms of costs incurred during that training, West Moors Parish Council have reserved funds to support residents of West Moors aged between 16 and 20 years to assist them with purchase of related tools and equipment essential to their training.

The parish council feel that many young people need support and that this fund will help to create a bond between young people and the local community and instil a sense of pride on both sides.

It also tries to ensure that every young person has the same opportunities to benefit from a vocational training course or apprenticeship.

Since July 2016, two grants have been awarded to residents of West Moors, Ben Watts and Charlie Hewitt, who have both used the grant to purchase tools essential to their training.

The most recent winner to receive £250 was Mr Liam Griffin who is embarking on a career in the plumbing industry.

Liam was presented with his cheque on Thursday 23rd August by the parish council chairman Councillor Mike Hawkes.

Cllr Hawkes said ‘It was a pleasure to contribute towards Liam’s journey and we wish him success for the future.’

The opportunity to receive this grant is still available. We would love to hear

from you and help you on your way with your career.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS An official application form is required to be completed and can be submitted anytime but applications will be considered 3 times a year in January, July and September.

If this is of interest to you or anyone you know please contact the parish office on 01202 861044, email office@ westmoors-pc.gov.uk or alternatively visit us at 4 Park Way, West Moors, Dorset, BH22 0HL or download an application form from the website www.westmoors-pc.gov.uk

Talking about Wildlife...

Red Squirrel Adoptions Red Squirrels are in need of help, so this autumn, treat yourself or a loved one to a special wildlife gift with a Dorset Wildlife Trust wildlife adoption.

This time of year, the red squirrel can be seen scurrying around the woodland floor collecting nuts for winter and jumping between trees on Brownsea Island, in Poole Harbour, Dorset. The popular red squirrel, a native species, has been in decline for many years, but Brownsea Island, owned by the National Trust, is proud to give a home to a population of 200 of these enchanting creatures.

The island is one of the few safe havens for the reds in the South West.

They can be seen by visitors for most of the year but are particularly active during the autumn as they prepare for winter. It’s the perfect time of year

to make a daytrip to the beautiful nature reserve, managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT) on Brownsea Island. By adopting a red squirrel for just £20, DWT can help ensure that the habitat which is so important for their survival on the island is maintained and managed for many years to come.

Adopting a red squirrel this autumn for £20 each, will not only make a unique and wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one, but will contributing to conservation work in Dorset.

Each pack comes with an adoption certificate, soft toy, pin badge and information about the species. Buy online at www.dorsetwildlifetrust. org.uk/redsquirreladopt or ring 01305 264620 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm).

Providing the answers

to your legal questions

We are first time buyers and have just got our mortgage agreed and found a place to buy! We’re keen to move in asap so what can we

expect and how long does the conveyancing process take?

Buying your first home is such an exciting time but can also be very daunting as you enter the unknown of the conveyancing process!

Once you have found the property you want to buy, it’s a good idea to contact your local Solicitor to get a quotation for the legal fees and disbursements so that you can plan your budget in advance and also obtain appropriate advice regarding a mortgage to finance your purchase.

Your Solicitor will send to you various forms for completion and you will likely be asked for supporting documents like ID etc. and money on account. Make sure you return all the forms completed along with the other items requested promptly so that as soon as the papers arrive from the Seller’s Solicitor, work can begin.

Your mortgage offer should be issued once the valuation has been carried out and searches will also need to be applied for in respect of the property.

We would also recommend that you instruct a surveyor to carry out a survey of the property.

At this stage, your Solicitor will raise legal enquiries with the Seller’s Solicitor and you should have the opportunity to address any concerns you have as well.

Once all investigations and searches have been completed, and any enquiries raised about the property satisfied you will be fully reported to and then you should be invited to sign the documentation in respect of the transaction. You will also usually need to ensure you have adequate Buildings Insurance in place. At this stage you should then be ready to

‘exchange contracts’ and this is the point of ‘no return’! The completion date is fixed on exchange and you can start packing!

The day of completion is when the monies are actually paid over to your Seller’s solicitor and the legal title to the property is transferred to you. Once completion has taken place you should receive a tele-

phone call from you solicitor with the exciting news that you can finally get your hands on the keys to your new house!

Wills, Estate Planning and Lasting Power of Attorneys We discuss legal professionals’ and the benefits of home visits to clients.

We are often asked what is the advantage of using a member of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (SWW) over a more conventional solicitor?

There are many good reasons. Members of SWW are trained specialists in the field of will writing and estate planning. All are fully insured, regulated and adhere to the SWW code of practice.

After all if you contracted a serious illness you wouldn’t be treated by your GP you would be referred to a specialist. The same applies when you are deciding how best to manage all the things you have worked so hard for during your lifetime.

Will writers also provide clients with convenience by attending them in their own home, more often than not at evenings and weekends when both parties (if a couple) can be available.

The SWW is coming up to its 25th anniversary and has always stressed to its members the importance of dealing with vulnerable, elderly and single clients in their own home.

Taking instructions in the privacy and seclusion of the client’s home is not only about convenience.

Without such a service many people who need a Will and Lasting Power of Attorney’s would go without if they were housebound, elderly or frail..

As a member of The Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners, Dorset Wills has a totally transparent pricing policy. We offer various packages to make the whole process of getting your affairs in order both simple and cost effective.

It is estimated that 67 % of people in the UK do not have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney’s in place.

With almost 1 million people living with dementia and the total growing yearly, perhaps now is the time to call Dorset Wills on 01202 065953.

Do you want to protect your family and loved ones?

Probably the most important documents you will ever own.

West Moors Lunch & Friendship Club The West Moors Lunch and Friendship club meets in St. Anthony‛s church hall every Wednesday from 11.00am until 3.30pm.

Our lunches are cooked by a company and brought to us, the meals are then served by our helpers. We have been lucky to enjoy lovely lunches so far but have had to change suppliers in September, hopefully they will be as good if not better.

Having settled back after the summer break we continued our musical entertainment theme by enjoying a visit by a Ukelele group in September. We look forward to Ali and Music for Health and Simon, Mr. Piano Man, during October and more of our favourites before Christmas.

DEBBIE HAYNES

What my clients say...

“3 years ago a neighbour recommended Debbie to me and I have been delighted with the service she gives ever since. She is very professional, pleasant and has given me sound advice regarding foot care. Indeed, I have reason to be very grateful to her for recognising a potential medical condition. I can thoroughly recommend her. Thank you Debbie.”

Mrs J, Ashley Heath “Debbie has cared for my feet for several years now. The service she provides is always administered to a high and professional standard and is delivered in a friendly manner.

I feel that if my feet were showing any signs of health problems she would detect and advise accordingly. It is good to know that my feet are safe in her hands and that hopefully I will be mobile for many years to come.”

Adventures of Nellie

38

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Hayden went to see Nellie, The Dorset Publications Campervan who had an accident a few months ago. She is now at the Old Van’s Home and like all good Grandparents she was keen to find out what her 14 year old ‘grandson’ had been up to over the summer.

Hayden was very excited to tell her…

“Well Nellie, I got to interview Red 10 at the Bournemouth Air Show!” He exclaimed with a big grin, nearly as big as Nellie’s silver shine.

“I got to do this because I was asked by the Blue Skies Team. Blue Skies is a programme to help young people with their communication and leadership skills organised by the Jon Egging Trust. The Blue Skies Programme has helped me build up my confidence.” Hayden continued, “Before I was shy in asking people things, but now I have more self-confidence to talk to people: even those I don’t know, like Red 10!”

The interview went like this…

Hayden - What is your role within the Red Arrows Team?

Adam (Red 10) - I’m the supervisor of the team. In the winter workout period I am the supervisor of the practices, looking at the display patterns and liaising with the authorities about the displays we are putting together. During the summer display season, I

Hayden gets interviewed himself

Hayden and Squadron Leader Adam Collins am on the road with the team flying the spare aircraft and then supervising the displays and commentating about the displays.

Hayden - What motivated you to work with the Red Arrows?

Adam - It’s a unique opportunity and a unique job that when the opportunity came to apply for it, I couldn’t really turn it down. When the Red 10 job came up it was something that really appealed to me. That is why I am doing it.

Hayden - What’s the best thing about being a Red Arrow?

Adam - It is such a variety of things that we do. We have had such good weather this year, so we have done lots of full shows. I love meeting the public (like you to be honest) and the commentary. It is an honour to be the face of the RAF and also representing Great Britain when we go overseas. It is a unique job.

Hayden - What is most challenging thing about being a Red? Adam - The variety, as we are constantly going from one thing to another. This weekend for example we have 5 or 6 Displays up and down the country so we are on a very tight timeline between displays. We do PR and media bits in between and it is really finding that balance

To advertise in The West Moors Directory, please call: 01202 894397

39 to do everything to the standards that we expect of ourselves, being able to switch from task to task and then to focus on it. It is quite tiring, you just have to manage that carefully, but really the best bits are the hardest bits as well. It really is one of the roles that is unique, you are always working hard, but it is always rewarding.

Hayden – What has been your favourite time with the team?

Adam – This is my first season so the whole season for me has been amazing and I shadowed my previous predecessor for couple of months last season. But really going to events like this, it is the reaction of the crowd when the jets arrive, and we start the display.

It is that feedback from the crowd that is the real buzz.

Hayden - What would you say to someone aspiring to be a Red Arrow pilot?

Adam - I’d say to them that we all started somewhere. One of the aims of our RAF 100 this year is to inspire the next generation and really with our Shows that is what we are trying to do. All of us at the Red Arrows were at school once. We went to college or university, we did exams, we were doing revision and that kind of thing and it really is a step by step approach to then join the Air Force and go through flying training and ultimately join the Red Arrows, so my message really would be just to work hard and take it one step at a time. We all made it, so there is no reason why anyone else can’t!

Hayden – For my last question, what would you say to a young person who is struggling, to be the best they can be?

Adam – Really it is that message that we have all started somewhere, we have all struggled at some point, be it through school or through education or going along through training and flying training. Keep persevering, take it one step at a time and all of sudden through struggling through something it becomes a great success. You are not going to get there instantly, so it is just working your way through it and having the right attitude, working hard and then eventually you will get there.

Thank you. Great to meet you!

Hayden turned back to Nellie, “Once I interviewed Red 10, I then got interviewed on the interview, by Bournemouth Air TV! It was quite a surprise. It made me really use all the skills I have learned from Blue Skies and I think I did ok, considering I wasn’t warned!

Finally, I also got to meet the rest of the Red Arrows and other display teams.

“I even had my photo taken with the pretty Wingwalkers (Nellie raised her wiper), as well as the Tiger’s Parachute Display Team from the British Army, Sally B’s pilots, the stunt pilot Rich Goodwin, the Strikemaster Pair and the new Team Raven were all there. How exciting was all that!”

Nellie was super impressed with Hayden’s recitings and she hopes you had a great summer too!

Mini Print Exhibition in Swanage Over 500 mini works of fabulous, affordable and original art by more than 150 printmaker artists are on display in a mini print exhibition not to be missed.

The vast range of inspiration, subject, technique, style and price is astounding and indeed the only theme running through this exhibition is the size of each of the works; just 10cm x 10cm. All works are for sale and the prices range from £25 - £300.

Curated and presented in the most ingenious and yet simple format, it’s little wonder that in just its third year that organisers Red Dot Art has embarked on a UK wide tour visiting galleries in East Anglia, The Cotswold, Leeds and Oxford over a 6 month period from September 2018 to June 2019.

This month, the exhibition will be hosted

by L’Artishe Gallery & Studio in Swanage and will be open to browsers and purchasers alike from 10am - 5pm each day from Friday 12th to Monday 15th inclusive. L’Artishe is owned and managed by Sharon James who opened the doors for the first time 2010 to showcase the breadth and range of artists working in the area.

Gardening Tips

a beginner’s

GUIDE Ponds

If you are lucky enough to have a pond, large or small, at this time of year check all the pond plants and remove all dead and dying growth.

If you have a pump to run a fountain or waterfall, now is the time to clean and service it and store it until Spring. Feed the fish before Winter hibernation.

Cover the pond with netting to stop leaves from falling into the water and sinking to the bottom. Too much rotting vegetation in the water will create methane gas to the detriment of fish and other wildlife as well as a disgusting, smelly layer of sludge in the bottom that you will have to deal with, sooner or later!

If we have a severe winter, be ready to cover the pond completely during really freezing weather, or at least try to ensure fish can get oxygen by keeping a small area ice-free by using a ball or floating bowl. If the pond is covered with a sheet of ice, pour boiling water into the bowl until it can be lifted out.

In early Autumn, if you have clumps of marginal and bog plants, they can be divided and cut back the leaves of waterside plants.

Having said all that, I've actually seen goldfish frozen in solid ice for weeks, only to start swimming around perfectly happily when they thawed out - so what do I know?!

Celtic Music Concerts in Ferndown Northern Ireland’s Maurice Dickson has been writing and performing his songs for almost 30 years. He has played in rock and blues bands around Belfast before forming his own band in 1976. Three years later he turned professional and continued to learn his trade in Europe and North Africa absorbing the cultures and the rhythms.

Catherine Ashcroft plays the Uilleann Pipes and Whistles with breathtaking speed and virtuosity. Although born in the North West of England she has had a passion for Irish music since childhood and growing up in a musical home she started playing the whistle at an early age before getting her first set of Uilleann pipes in her mid teens. Self taught, Catherine regards her early influences as Planxty, The Bothy Band, Lunasa, and Paddy Keenan.

Maurice and Catherine met in 2008 when Catherine recorded her first CD “Take Flight and Follow” at Maurice’s studio in Cumbria. This led to them collaborating and Maurice invited her to guest on his forthcoming European tour.

A great success they soon formed the duo “Mochara”. Taking the name from the Irish meaning of “My Friend”. The pair have since performed at various festivals, folk clubs, theatres and music venues throughout the UK, Ireland, Holland, Germany, Denmark and Norway. They have also released 3 albums, “In Your Blood” in 2010, “Spirits and Dreamers” in 2013 and more recently the fabulous “Live at the Island” in 2015.

Performing a dynamic mix of original and traditional Irish songs and tunes, the duo promise audiences a night of spellbinding music and entertainment.

Looking ahead...

Calan bring together the remarkable talents of 5 young musicians giving a fresh and vibrant sound to traditional Welsh music. With a contemporary and lively approach they breathe new life into the old traditions through their sparkling melodies, foot tapping tunes and spirited and energetic performances of Welsh step dancing.

They will be playing Ferndown Village Hall on 10th November. See the website www.celticfolk.net for more information.

Jean Ware Legacy Award 2018/19 LAST CHANCE TO APPLY! - Deadline is November 30th There is still time to apply for the Jean Ware Legacy Award 2018. West Moors Parish Council are urging people to apply now. This money is for you and we are here to help.

In recognition of the commitment and hard work of the late Councillor Jean Ware the Parish Council renamed the Legacy Award in her memory in 2016. The award was set up in 2012 after The Olympics to inspire a generation.

It is an award of up to ÂŁ1,000 for a young person aged between 11 and 17 years and who is a resident of West Moors. West Moors Parish Council would like to ensure that every young person has the same opportunities to develop their talents. Are you, or do you know of an aspiring young person with one or more excellent abilities.

Do you or the nominated person need financial help with travelling, equipment and coaching or training costs? We would like to support applicants who excel in Sport, Design, Drama, Music, or The Arts.

Even if you have won before, why not try again? What have you got to lose?

Previous young residents of West Moors we have supported have

been, Abi Bedford, a netball player who won two years running in 2014 and 2015, Callum Crockard, an aspiring football coach in 2016 and most recently in 2017 was Charlotte Ayton, a long jumper.

All were awarded with an engraved glass trophy which they will keep indefinitely to remind them of their achievements.

The application process is very easy and forms can be downloaded from: www.westmoors-pc.gov.uk or collected from the parish office on 01202 861044. The closing date for applications is 30th November 2018.

We look forward to hearing from you.
