Where are your savings and investments and how are they doing? We can’t predict the future but there is likely to be market uncertainty both here in the UK and in the wider world over the next few months. We have just seen Local Council Elections, Police Crime Commissioner Elections and Mayoral Elections in some parts of the Country and of course the European Referendum is on the 23 rd June. In November we will see the American Presidential Election with Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump the two main likely Candidates. If there is going to be uncertainty then the question then follows ‘what should I do with my savings and investments? ‘Should I leave them in the Bank or Building Society or should I consult an Independent Financial Adviser to get Independent Financial Advice? The Banks and Building Societies are in most cases providing poor returns on your investments with many accounts providing rates of return below the rate of inflation. The only guarantee they can give you is that your money will be worth less in real terms in twelve months’ time. An Independent Financial Adviser will search the whole market to find the most suitable investment for you and your family, given all of your circumstances. Most Independent Financial Advisers have years of experience and have built up a wealth of skills and knowledge to try and help you make the most of your savings and investments. FSC Investment Services Ltd have been based opposite the Molineux Stadium, in Waterloo Road since 1997 and have become a well-established, well known and well respected local Company. We have four Independent Advisers and hundreds of Clients, based in the Midlands and throughout the Country. Why don’t you give us a call or take a look at our website www.fscinvestments.co.uk to find out more about us. If you would like an initial free, no nonsense, no obligation appointment with myself, Frank Cochran, Derek Baillie or Mark Mitchell then please give us a call or drop us an email. We will always try to place your money in the most suitable place, at different times to suit your personal requirements.

GREENSIDE BUNKERS This month we are going to look at how to get out of a greenside bunker Take up your position in the bunker, settle yourself in the sand and then flex your knees to give yourself a good solid base (make sure the ball position is in line with the left heel). Position your body alignment (shoulders, hips and feet) slightly to the left of your intended target. Open the clubface and then take your normal grip. The club will follow the line of the body, creating a feeling of an out to in swing path. As you make your backswing, hinge your wrists so that you create a steep angle of attack. In the downswing make sure you hit an inch behind the ball and let the bounce of the club glide through the sand and that will enable the club to lift the ball into the air. After the club has made contact with the ball in the sand, keep the club head moving along its path. (Don’t let the club head decelerate) REMEMBER: DO NOT GROUND YOUR CLUB BEFORE YOU PLAY YOUR SHOT AS THIS WILL INCUR A PENALTY

A Word From Gavin Williamson............... The past month has been a big one in terms of celebrating anniversaries in our community of South Staffordshire. I helped St Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church in Great Wyrley celebrate 50 years, joined Codsall Flowers celebrate 20 years of business and most recently I celebrated 1000 years of Staffordshire. I was delighted to be invited to help celebrate Codsall Flowersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 20th anniversary on their current premises. After meeting with the extremely talented staff, I was shown how many of their popular bespoke arrangements are created in this wonderful family-run business, whilst being acutely aware that my gardening skills were certainly not up to scratch. Staff at the shop also held a raffle with the proceeds donated to South Staffordshire First Responders who were also in attendance at the celebration. The group of volunteers, who with training from and under the control of the West Midlands Ambulance Service providing invaluable emergency life support until the arrival of the Ambulance Service. I was thrilled to hear that the proceeds from their raffle would be going towards the South Staffordshire First Responders. I know for a fact how hard they work and what a wonderful group of people they are, sharing an office building with them on Wolverhampton Road. The First Responders is an incredible organisation, whose dedicated supporters have saved countless lives. I cannot praise enough these selfless volunteers, who give so much of their time and effort towards helping others. I always really enjoy visiting our local businesses to find out more what they do and chatting to employees about issues that are concerning them. It is always wonderful to be able to visit and learn more about businesses in our local area and I am always so pleased to hear of their expansion plans, providing jobs, wealth, growth and apprenticeship opportunities to our area. I have no doubt that the Codsall area will continue to reap the benefits of local businesses in the years ahead and I am very much looking forward to the many events that will take place as the village and the surrounding area continues to blossom and flourish.
