Did you know we offer a great Print Management Service at Overt? Negotiating great print prices so that we can pass the saving onto you, our customers. So, what is print management and how can you benefit from it? I have worked in the print industry for the past 15 years as an Account Manager, working for some of the biggest blue chip clients in the UK. Managing their daily marketing campaigns from design concept, through to print and direct mail. In this article, I am going to give some tips regarding the Print Industry in general and want to advise why sometimes its better to go directly to a “broker” type agency rather than straight to the horses mouth. Firstly, Printers Print ….. that’s it. And they are really good at it too! Or really bad at it (well some are)! They are really not too fussed about WHY you want your product or what you intend to do with it once it’s been printed. Some printers will offer a design service, but this is usually done in-house by their MAC Operators and NOT designers. So usually the design is thrown together very quickly and with no thought process in mind. Example of this : If you want 100,000 leaflets printed one side only, with a blue background and a pink elephant drinking a beer sitting on the toilet (a bit random I know) – its very unlikely that the Printer will ask you why you want it, whether the design is right for the product that is being sold and what are you going to do with them once delivered.

Here at Overt Print – We do care! With over 50 years experience (collectively between Chris, Simon and I) in Design and Print, we can offer a print management service which will not only save you money but will create your perfect marketing material that will work for you. As a print management service, we are able to lock down great prices with several suppliers but are able to retain quality of design and branding at all times, throughout all of your marketing material. Thus saving you – our customer – time and money. The way we buy print and the quantity we order means that we usually beat most quotes from other print companies, but with more value added service.

• We care what your design looks like

• We care about saving you money

• We care about the “whys” and “whats”

• We care about customer service

Whatever Print projects you have in the future – whether it be 20 posters or 20,000 brochures – or just simply some business cards and letterheads, we will always act in your best interest – getting the most out of your marketing campaign so you get a return on your investment.

Come and talk to us about how we can help you. Contact Simon or Kimberley on 01535 275355 or pop in to see us at 143 Main Street, Wilsden. You are always welcome to come and visit us for a chat and a coffee. (and biscuits may also be thrown in free of charge!)

Editor’s Letter Welcome So, following three months of miserable weather blamed on a stuck jet stream pattern which has brought record breaking rainfall across the British Isles, I guess we are pleased to hear recently, that at last we may be able to enjoy a bit of sunshine! As I sit writing this intro, I have had to take my washing off the line, twice in one day and put it on the radiators (hasten to add, I have had to put the heating on…. In July???) So, it’s about time we had some of that feel good weather again! Out with the shorts, t-shirts, sunglasses and don’t forget plenty of sunscreen. I’m looking forward to getting out in the garden most of all, and as the school holidays are upon us; I am most excited about spending some well deserved time with my two children Lily-Mae and Theo. Albeit only one day a week, as I will be very busy putting the next issue together for September. We are very lucky to live in Harden Village, and don’t have to go too far to experience some amazing countryside – We have the Goit Stock Waterfall on our doorstep and the great St Ives Country Estate, with the ever popular wooden adventure playground for the kids … can just imagine, kids, picnics, ice-cream and sunshine! Hope you all enjoy yourselves. Since the start of My Community Hub, I have been ever so grateful to the “Community” in which we live. We have had a great response to various groups and organisations asking if they can be featured in the magazine to promote their community group. All I ask is to keep them coming in. We really do rely on you the public to make this “Your Community Hub”, and we will do our best to deliver our promise to the readers and our customers alike, and make this the best community magazine in the area. Remember … With this magazine, you are guaranteed to be able to pick it up and read interesting articles about YOUR area, and see what events are going on in the next month and beyond in our free listing’s What’s On guide. Well that’s all for now. Hope you all enjoy a sunny summer holiday. Until next issue Kimberley

Night of fun and nostalgia As part of Cottingley Cornerstone Centre’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, a Night of Nostalgia was held on Friday June 1st. For people who remember the 1970s the whole night was a real trip down memory lane! Whether you were an adult, flared trouser wearing teenager or just a toddler (like me!), quiz shows like, Call My Bluff and What’s My Line were firm family favourites. Guests of the night were treated to Cornerstone’s own version of the popular quiz shows and this is where pensioner Margaret Whyte struck gold winning two gold medals. So who knows what the definition of queach is? A malicious character, a fruit or a mini-jungle? Well nobody guessed correctly on the night. This word featured in an original episode of the quiz Call My Bluff and so I’m sure you remember the correct answer is a minijungle! The 70s theme was continued

Pensioner wins two gold medals... well at a Cottingley Cornerstone Centre quiz night! with a supper of dishes inspired by the culinary tastes of the decade. Remember pineapple and cheese on sticks? Yum... come on we all loved them! Then the night was rounded off with the chance to dance through the decades of the 50s and 60s. The night’s organiser Clive Harrison felt the night was thoroughly enjoyed by all those who attended: ‘Everyone appeared to have a fantastic evening with the panel games bringing back memories of the 60s and 70s. It was a tremendous success, which will hopefully be repeated next year.’ It really was a fun night. Recession, Double-Dip - all was forgotten - at least for an evening!

Come along and take a look at the amazing work we do Formed in 1944, the Branch is part of the national network of the Royal British Legion. The original branch and social club were formed after being bequeathed “Lyndhurst”, in Hall Bank Drive, for the purpose of assisting service, ex-service personnel and their families in the Bingley area. The club enjoyed many years of success, but due to dwindling support, it had to close in 1995. When Falkland Court, Ferncliffe Road, was built in 1984, the Branch supplied furnishings for the Communal areas and Branch Officers became the Management Committee, running the complex for 10 years. In 1998 we moved into, our present premises at 20 Heath Street. June 2007 saw the Bingley detachment of the Army Cadet Force become affiliated to the Branch to help promote a closer liaison with the younger generation. At Poppy Appeal time, we have had the use of a vacant shop in the 5Rise Shopping centre enabling the branch to 8

have a high profile in the centre of Bingley and boost Poppy sales. An important part of Remembrance is the Parade and Service, which has now become a major event. The wreath laying is usually led by The Deputy Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire representing the Queen, followed by the local Member of Parliament, local Councillors, representatives of many other Bingley organisations and the general public. This year the parade will process through Main Street to the Cenotaph, led by a marching band. After the Service, the parade will return along Main

Street with the salute being taken by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant opposite the Old Library. The provision of welfare continues all year and ex-service personnel and their dependants in difficulties can request help at any time, when a confidential interview will be undertaken by one of our four qualified welfare case workers. Over the past five years we have helped many people in Bingley, providing financial assistance to 45, holidays to 24, as well as household goods and property repairs for others. Additionally, the branch has donated £39,000 towards the upkeep of the Poppy Homes. Why not come and join us to continue the wonderful work undertaken by the British Legion, one of Britain’s greatest charities, where only 1p out of every pound is spent on Administration of the Charity. Meetings are on the first Wednesday of the month at 7.00pm in 20 Heath Street. Further information from Mrs Judith Hill, Secretary (563155) or Jim Dowzall, Chairman (412243.)

Get set for a flower festival with a difference at Bingley United Reformed Church Prepare to walk through the wardrobe with Lucy and Edmund and find yourself in the magical world of Narnia! Bingley United Reformed Church are holding a Flower Festival with a difference on Saturday 25th August at 10am until 4pm, Sunday 26th August at 1pm until 4pm and Bank Holiday Monday 27th August at 10am until 4pm. Muriel Spencer-Wilcock and the members of Bingley URC had the idea that there should be an overall theme to their flower festival and chose the story of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C S Lewis. Muriel is a celebrated demonstrator, judge and teacher of flower arranging in this area and is organizing the church members and friends into putting together this amazing event. Muriel’s idea is to transform the Church into the winter in Narnia in one corner, a battle in another and Aslan’s Palace in another, all life size. The scenes will be decorated with floral displays. C S Lewis wrote the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe as a children’s book but it is widely believed by Christians to be allegorical, as Aslan gave himself willingly in Edmund’s place, so we believe that Jesus willingly suffered death on the cross, in our place. Just to tell you a little of the story we will be depicting: - The land of Narnia is a magical place where animals, and even trees, can talk. The rightful king, who has been out of the country for some years, is Aslan the 10

lion. During Aslan’s absence the White Witch has set herself up as Queen and has brought permanent winter to Narnia; always winter, never Christmas. She is also aware of the prophecy that when four humans are enthroned at Aslan’s palace, her reign will be at an end. Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are evacuees in WWII. Roaming over the house where they were staying, first little Lucy, then Edmund and finally all four children pass through the back of an old wardrobe, through layers of coats, into the land of Narnia All four children have entered Narnia when the White Witch arrives at Aslan’s camp on the news of his return. She gloats as she reminds him of the Deep Magic which states that any traitor belongs to her: of course Edmund will be killed to prevent the prophesy coming true. After a private conversation with the Witch, Aslan assures the frightened children that the matter has been resolved. That night the girls can’t sleep so go outside the tent to find a very sad Aslan taking a solitary walk towards the Stone Table. The girls join him until he goes on alone to the White Witch and her awful army. To the girls’ horror he subjects to being bound, mane shaved and muzzled without any struggle. The White Witch kills him and leaves with her murderous rabble to finish off Aslan’s army and the children. The girls maintain a vigil over Aslan’s body and find a horde of field mice chewing through his bonds. As dawn comes up Aslan

comes back to life and the vast stone table cracks in two. He tells of a deeper magic, from before the dawn of time, unknown to the Witch, that if a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the table would crack and death start working backwards. Aslan, Susan and Lucy race towards the battle, aided by all the resurrected stone creatures from the Witch’s castle, to find things going badly. Edmund has eventually managed to break the witch’s wand and saves them from being turned to stone. With Aslan and the reinforcements the battle is eventually won. Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are crowned Kings and Queens of Narnia as prophesy foretold. Years later they find the first landmark they encountered in Narnia, a lamp-post in a wood, and this leads them back to a forgotten life, through the wardrobe – exactly at the same time as they entered it.

The church can be found in Dryden Street behind Lady Max hairdresser’s shop so pay us a visit over the Bank Holiday, there will be plenty of enjoyment for everyone. There will be a full itinerary explaining the displays and a quiz. Children will be most welcome. If they bring a drawing, painting or collage of the lion, Aslan, on a sheet of A4, these will all be put on display. Tea/ coffee and cake will be available. Sally Stephenson

Love your Local Market On Friday 29th and Saturday 30th June Bradford Markets held a Love Your Local Market weekend in Bingley as a community event. Children were treated to Face Painting and a Bouncy Castle and adults received Reiki and Massage treatments at reduced prices and cooking tips from Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food stall and cooking demonstration. Our Editor Kim and Alan Cattell our Local History writer paid for a stall at the market over the two days in support of the initiative. They were there to advertise the new My Community Hub magazine and to promote sales of Alan’s book Bingley and

Surrounds - Forgotten Moments from History. Despite the vagaries of the weather the stall attracted a lot of interest from market-goers. What impressed them was the warm welcome received from regular stall holders at the three times weekly Open Market. These hardy worthies turn up week after week in all weathers to sell their wares and provide a central attraction to Bingley Main Street. They carry on a long tradition of market trading dating

back 800 years... the Bingley Market Charter being the oldest in West Yorkshire having been granted in May 1212. Thanks particularly to Deano and Chris – The Clothes, TimThe Bread, Kevin - The Cheese, and Graham - The Fish and The Sweet Man for your welcome and support. Thanks also to Richard Ambler of Bradford Markets and his staff for promoting the Love Your Local Market weekend. Here’s hopefully to the next 800 years!!

Anglers look to build up fish stocks There are some very frightened fish in Coppice Pond at St Ives right now. Earlier in the year the fish were being attacked and eaten by some visiting Gooseander birds, who have now left the area and been replaced by some cormorants. These also see the resident fish as nice tasty meals. Bingley Anglers who pay a considerable sum to both fish at Coppice Pond and also stock the lake, are going to build three ‘Fish Refuges’ to give all their fishes a safe haven. These will take the form of open ended cages which will be planted with water plants along their top. This will provide not only more shelter but also add beauty to the pond. Apparently, fish quickly learn that they can safely live and spawn in these shelters and make themselves at home. The lake has also suffered from the ‘resident Geese’ destroying what was once a, beautiful beds of Water Lilies. There is some evidence that there are still some rooted under the water’s surface and we’re waiting to see if they emerge. It seems likely though that in any case, 12

Local History

Market Hall on Main Street

Eight Hundred Years of Bingley Market In May 2012 Bingley celebrated the eight hundredth anniversary of being awarded its first Market Charter. The granting of the Charter elevated the status of Bingley to that of a Market Town with important implications for its subsequent growth and development. Bingley Market obtained its Charter before Bradford (1251) and before records show a market operating in Leeds (1258) In this article our historian Alan Cattell traces the key events and dates for Bingley Market Hall and Butter Cross since 1212. Alan has given permission for content from his book Bingley and Surrounds - Forgotten Moments from History to be replicated in the article. What was a Butter Cross? Originally market trading was carried out around a “butter cross” which was a type of market cross associated with English market towns and dating from medieval times. Its name originated from the fact that the cross would be located at a local market place, sometimes near a church or a manor where people would come to buy and sell locally produced butter, milk and eggs. In Bingleys case the original market is likely to have been held in the churchyard as was customary elsewhere (Dodd 1958 Bingley). The fresh produce would be laid out and displayed on the circular stepped base of the cross. 14

My Community HUB

Design of crosses varied from place to place, but they were often covered by some type of roof to offer shelter to traders and customers, although the roofs were mostly added at a much later date than the original cross that they covered. The 1966 Grade 2 listing of the Bingley Butter Cross states that although its actual date is uncertain, it was possibly 13th Century in origin. The roof was however added in 1753. The First Market Charter On 19th May 1212 King John declared “by the Grace of God know ye that we have granted and by this our Charter confirmed to Maurice de Gant that he have one market at his Manor of Bingley every week on Sunday. So nevertheless that the same market be not to the injury of the neighbouring markets. Wherefore we will and firmly command that the aforesaid Maurice and his heirs have the aforesaid market in the aforesaid manor of Bingley for ever well and in peace, freely and quietly with all liberties and free customs belonging to such market pertaining as is aforesaid.” The statement above was intended to do a number of things: 1. Establish the day on which the market would be held 2. Ensure that a new market town could not be established too close to an existing one. A limit, usually a day’s worth of travelling to

John Brown was paid sixteen pounds and six shillings for reconstructing them on site. The buildings would no longer be used as a market and would remain in the Park for as further 96 years. In respect of a location for the new market Dodd (1958) records “the suggestion of Myrtle Place (though in 1868 its use as a market place on Saturdays had been permitted) was rejected as it was the only outlet where boys could play and people hold meetings. Mr Ferrand offered a site opposite the Parish Church but this was also rejected. Market Bye Laws To ensure that the administration and running of the market would protect the interests of the “The Shed” community and of traders, in September 1895 a 2011 new set of Bye Laws in the Urban District of Bingley were written and introduced. So, in 2011 a market still exists in the centre of Bingley with the ancient market buildings beside The Bradford Observer of 27th November 1896 it as a historic reminder.

Budget dog food... Value for money or false economy?

A reasonable number of dog foods contain high levels of cereal based products, as this is a relatively low cost ingredient. However, cereal based products contain low levels of serotonin and this can have an impact on your dogs behaviour. Serotonin is a brain chemical which acts as a messenger operating between nerve cells. Correct levels must be maintained in order to balance your dog’s mood and behaviour. Serotonin is made from the amino acid tryptophan which is found naturally in chicken and fish. It is also present in smaller quantities of cereals, potatoes and rice. Cereal based products (in large quantities) have an inhibitory effect on tryptophan, therefore potentially causing behavioural issues. Am I Feeding My Dog The Correct Food? We can all tell if the particular 22

My Community HUB

food we feed our dogs is suitable by the overall condition of our dog, the levels of fitness, amounts of energy and also the toilet habits. A dog on a good quality feed should only go to the toilet 2 – 3 times per day and it should be of a solid consistency. Anything more than that and the likelihood is that the source or quality of protein isn’t suitable. The coat on your dog should be soft and shiny. If it’s dull and feels greasy, your dog isn’t getting enough essential oils. You can add various supplements into your dog’s food, such as Cod Liver or Salmon Oil to help the coat, but feeding a good quality dog food should be enough.

Cheap v Expensive? I can’t deny that there is a clear difference in cheap dog foods of that to more expensive ones. However, some dog food retails at £50.00 per bag upwards, and personally I feel that no dog food is worth that. Veterinary practices tend to promote two certain brands of dog food that fall into that price bracket, and will also make it clear that they can supply you with that food! I have fed my dogs a wide variety of foods over the years, and there are some I would use again, and some that I will never go back to. If you would like to discuss your dog’s dietary and nutritional requirements, I am always more than happy to do so. Contact: Andy Thompson on 01535 274 431.

Cat’s Corner mmunity Hub is nthly feature, My Co ing In our continuing mo you up to date news of what is happen pleased to be bringingWe are pleased to be working with such r e. at the homing centr ich helps re-home unwanted cats in ou wh ty, ari ch tic a fantas region.

Don’t forget me in your plans... We have a high volume of calls and emails from people who tell us they need to rehome or ‘get rid’ of their cat. More often than not they are expecting us to take in their pet straight away because they are moving or even emigrating the following week! This expectation is simply not realistic. Like other animal charities, we operate under tremendous pressure with limited space and few staff, relying heavily on volunteers to help run the rescue. Rehoming the cats at our centre takes time. For some a new and loving home is found in a matter of days but for the majority this process takes weeks and, in some cases, many months. Some cats need time to adjust before homing, and some require a course of medical treatment until they are fit and well. Others, especially those over 6 years old, are regarded as ‘too old’ by many people seeking to adopt and for those over 12 their chances of being homed quickly are significantly reduced. We can only take in more cats after we have freed up pens by successfully homing former residents. The longer it takes to home a cat, the longer it is before we have an empty pen so that we can take in another pet or stray from our waiting list. We have only 17 cat pens - if we had more we could look after an increased number animals at any given time and respond more immediately to calls for help. Thanks for our foster care network for pregnant and nursing cats, and orphan kittens, we manage to take in far more animals that we would be otherwise be able to and are equipped to handle these situations more quickly. But with 400 callers on our waiting list of several months (currently at least 6 months) the situation is critical. So, if you think you may be heading towards a life change which could mean your cat is potentially homeless the first step is to pick up the phone or send an email and get him or her on our waiting list. Better still, try and make alternative arrangements in any event to avoid the stress of your cat coming into a rescue. By taking action well in advance, you have allowed a reasonable time for us to work down our waiting list and get to your cat. If after several 26

My Community HUB

months you no longer need our help because your plans did not go ahead, or you have successfully homed your cat yourself, simply get in touch and we will remove your pet from our waiting list. At the time of printing we have 126 cats in our care – 32 at our shelter and 94 in foster care. Not every event can be planned for, but at least you can help yourself and your cat by preparing ahead for those events that you know may be on the horizon.

Gardening

A matter of taste One of the main reasons for growing your own fruit and veg is the great taste you get from your own produce and August is certainly the month of plenty! Harvesting is now the order of the day and if the heavy rains earlier in the summer haven’t caused too much damage, all your vegetables will be in full flow. Your peas, beans, carrots, beetroot, onions, potatoes, courgettes, tomatoes & cucumbers should all be ready to pick now. Harvest regularly to encourage the plants to produce even more and once a plant has finished cropping, dig it up and remove any plant debris (such as fallen leaves). This will help to prevent a build up of pests and diseases and will also expose any weeds. Don’t be too hasty though, some crops like french beans will often give a second smaller harvest. Tomatoes are always a family

favourite and feature in many great recipes. Unlike the thick skinned, tasteless ones sold in some of the supermarkets, the taste and texture of tomatoes you’ve grown yourself is pure delight.. stimulating your taste buds and giving an eyes-closed mmmm! moment. The Baildon Horticultural Society Tomato Championship at the show on the 2nd September is all about taste not size! A good old fashioned tip, recommended by one of our more seasoned growers, is to plant tomatoes straight into the ground and feed with sheep manure – usually freely available in this county on a moor or farm near you! This recipe is a great way to use all the different varieties of tomatoes you may have grown. Try mixing whole cherry tomatoes on the stem with juicy slices and wedges of larger tomatoes, and use as many colours as you have available.

Reserve ramblings

Looking ahead to changes on the Reserve By Steve Warrlliow Denso Marston Nature warden Summer is now well under way, despite the rain, we trudge on. We should be used to it by now, or is it that we have been spoilt in recent years. The rain has had a major impact on the insects on the reserve. Yes, we have large numbers of gnats and mosquitoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buzzing around everywhere. But the larger insects, butterflies, moths and dragonflies have suffered very badly. Its only now as we enter the slippery slope towards autumn that we have just started catching something like a decent catch of moths, so have caught such delights as Poplar Hawkmoth, Barred fruit tree tortrix, Heart and dart, to name but a few, all these species including several others have been in single numbers. Even one moth the Large Yellow Underwing which normally we catch big numbers, not as big as some, this year we have had one and I cheered! Butterfly numbers have been right down too, this has been worrying because if there are no butterflies and moths, where are the caterpillars? Birds have been seen nesting throughout the reserve we have seen a few fledglings including our first ever Jay nest. We have also had a good number of nest boxes being used by both Blue and great tits but again we have seen few young. Has there been enough food around for them. The ladybird survey is plodding on, with as expected numbers of Harlequin ladybirds increasing, though we have recorded 3 species of our native species, 7 spotted ladybird, 2 spotted ladybird and cream spotted ladybird. I have now started recruiting local brownie troops to have a look out for the ladybirds, younger eyes can see more. And this has proved to be very popular. Hopefully as summer progresses things will get busier on the insect front. With coming into August, we have a new (ish) walk on the 18th Life in the Hedge; we will be looking deep inside our hedges looking for bugs and a few other surprises. This walk will start at 10.15am and we will meet opposite the lay-by up from St James Church Charlestown. No matter what the weather throws at us, we will be continuing recording the insects on the reserve, If you want more information about events please contact me on 07919525913 30

Health Matters Dr Simon Gazeley from the Canalside Health Centre, Bingley has just spent 3 months of his time out in Malawi, here he tells My Community Hub readers about his story so far…..

Saying a fond farewell to Malawi We have now had to say goodbye to Malawi, our time in Africa is up. It has been an amazing experience, both professionally and for our family. The day we left was very sad, saying goodbye to the staff at the clinic, our new neighbours and friends, and to the dozens of children that came to our house each day to play. The work at the clinic has been fantastic; many challenges, some hard times, but also an amazing opportunity to give health care to a village that otherwise would have none. I’ll really miss the no-nonsense approach to illness and medicine. Compared to the rest of Malawi, the clinic was incredibly well stocked and well staffed, and did a great job of looking after the villagers. Up until the clinic was built, there would be 3-4 deaths in the village a day, but since the clinic started up there were perhaps 1-2 per week. But compared to the UK, there is still a long long way to go. Consultations were as short as 1-2 minutes after a 3 hour wait; drugs were limited and often ran out, there were very few tests that could be arranged, and no high-tech hospitals to refer sick patients onto. Patients often died simply due to lack of resources. Yet there were no complaints from patients, and they were just very happy that everyone at the clinic was just trying their best with 32

My Community HUB

Dr Simon Gazeley shares more of his experiences of Malawi

limited resources. We also saw a very different set of illness to the UK. There was lots of malaria, HIV and sexually transmitted disease. Interestingly though, there was hardly any diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, or lung disease. Perhaps this was partly because people died from other things. But a big part of this was the lifestyle. People had little or no money, so ate small portions of healthy home cooked food, didn’t drink much alcohol, didn’t smoke, and led very active physical lives. It was very unusual indeed to see anybody overweight, and it was very obvious how our lifestyles in the UK directly impact on our health. The children are really going to miss Malawi too. It has also been fantastic for them, and they really integrated into the community. Language seemed to be no barrier to making friends, and the lifestyle for them here was so relaxed compared to England. They have seen ‘proper’ Malawian life, going to our next door neighbour’s house for Nsima and fish, eating with their hands, and playing with all the local children. They’ll really miss having the freedom to go off and play, swimming in the lake, going fishing or helping at the local veg stall. It has been a really safe place for the kids, with no cars and the friendliest people you’ll

meet anywhere. Every single person in the village smiles and says hello, how are you, and wants to stop and talk.

I feel really lucky to have had the chance to go away and help in one of the poorest countries in the world. Yet we have got so much out of it ourselves as well. It was a little scary dragging the family off into the unknown. We had no idea what we had let ourselves in for, how safe it would be, what sort of house we’d be living in, what the food and water would be like. Everyone adapted very quickly, and none of this was a problem. I would definitely want to repeat this experience again in the future, and if anyone reading this is in two minds about doing something similar, DO IT!!!

Health

Be prepared for your holidays The focus of this feature is to highlight that many minor conditions in the community can be treated by seeing your local pharmacist who can help to manage your condition or any problems. Pharmacists are a good source of advice and information regarding many conditions and health issues in the community and across the world. Holidays and Travel Going for holidays and travelling abroad is an exciting feature for many families every year. But with all the excitement and anticipation, the basics of health and safety are often neglected. Millions of people travel abroad every year and most have a safe trip, but some suffer ill health, have health accidents and some may need medical attention while they are away. Being prepared is the best prevention. So here’s what to think about before travelling for holidays with regards to your health. Travel Vaccinations and Malaria Try to prepare for your trip 4 to 6 weeks before you go. Check the latest health advice for the country you are travelling to using the National Travel Health Network and Centre website

My Community HUB

(NATHNaC) and also check the travel safety updates from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office website. Make sure your travel vaccinations are up to date and check whether you need any extra travel vaccines for your holiday. Malaria may be a risk in certain areas and you may need to start malaria protection in advance before your holiday. You can check all these with your pharmacist or book an appointment with your travel nurse as they will have up to date information. Travel Essentials It is ideal to take a kit of travel health essentials for your holiday, which will be useful for wherever you go. Travel Checklist • First aid kit – antiseptic cream, plasters, etc. • Sunscreen • After sun lotion • Insect repellent • Antihistamines – tablets and creams for allergies and insect bites • Anti-diarrhoea pills • Rehydration sachets – to help replace fluids lost from diarrhoea, vomiting and too much sun

Sun Protection Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK today and protecting the skin from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can help prevent these cancers. Wherever you are you can simply protect yourself by following the Cancer Research UK’s Sun Smart messages: Spend time in the shade during peak sun hours Make sure you never burn your skin Aim to cover up with a t-shirt and hat Remember to take extra care with children Then use factor 15+ sunscreen Always take extra special care of children’s skin, keep them covered up and keep them in the shades. Travel Insurance Wherever you go you will need to make sure you have the right travel insurance. Make sure your policy covers your destination of stay and for the duration of stay. Try to ensure medical cover is included in your travel insurance, especially for those who have medical conditions such as diabetes or heart conditions. When travelling in Europe, make sure you have a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), as this will entitle you to free or reduced cost medical care. This is ideal for those who have medical conditions. DVT on Flights To reduce the risks of deep vein thrombosis, especially on long haul flights; get up from your seat and walk around and stretch your legs as often as you can. Drink regularly and avoid alcohol. There is also evidence suggesting that wearing compression stockings can help to reduce risk of developing DVT.

Movie Reviews Diary of a wimpy kid, starring Zachary Gordon, Robert Capron and Devon Bostick. Directed by David Bowers, will be released on August 3rd 2012.

Family fun is sure to entertain you During his summer vacation, “Wimpy Kid” Greg Heffley, the hero of the phenomenally successful book series, hatches a plan to pretend he has a job at a ritzy country club -- which fails to keep him away from the season’s dog days, including embarrassing mishaps at a public pool and a camping trip that goes horribly wrong. Greg continually makes the wrong decisions at every possible moment, which creates rifts between himself and his friends. The movie takes the animation style from the book and mixes it with live action and animation which blends in perfectly on the big screen, and never feels distracting or overdone. Diary of a Wimpy Kid doesn’t attempt to be something other than what it is, it knows it’s target audience and is guaranteed to have the kids laughing out loud.
