Editor’s Note Visitors will be coming from all over the world to watch the skies light up above Plymouth’s spectacular waterfront this month. An amazing display of over four tonnes of fireworks will light up the sky, as six of the country’s top pyrotechnics companies battle it out to be named the British Fireworks Champion 2014. Whether you are an avid goer of the firework championships or have never been before, it is set to be an exciting evening not to be missed (page 29).

Saltram are hosting an open-air family theatre on 17th August, with all the fun and excitement of Roald Dahl’s thrilling children’s classic. See page 16 for your local guide to what’s on in Plympton this month.

We are holding a Photography Competition for your chance to show off your Photography skills. The winner’s photograph will appear on the front cover! All you need to do to is take a photograph of an area in Plympton that you think would make a great front cover image and email it to us. Turn to page 23 to enter.

I hope you enjoy this issue, I’ll catch up with you next month.

New talent is on its way!

With Plymouth University Summer is almost over, and with September approaching Plymouth University are eager to welcome our new arrivals for 2014!

T

he Student Jobs team have already begun preparations for the many events that will occur this September, beginning with Arrivals Weekend. In 2013 we recruited approximately 400 Student Ambassadors for these September events. During Arrivals Weekend we had Student Ambassadors stationed at each of the Halls of Residence to welcome our new students, and to assist the families with moving in their belongings. We were very proud to provide the students responsible for ensuring that our new arrivals settled into their new home as smoothly as possible. And we are looking forward to having this privilege again for September 2014.

Welcome Week then follows this, where many events and activities are organised for the new arrivals, such as the Welcome parties for the different faculties. Within this Week again our Student Jobs team are responsible in the recruitment of the Student Ambassadors that help with the preparation of these events, help encourage new students to participate and to help supervise these activities. Additionally, the Graduation ceremonies will take place in September, in which our team will be responsible for recruiting students to work as the hospitality staff. Therefore, our new arrivals and returning students will have a variety of work opportunities that they can get involved with!

In addition to these opportunities, our students are keen to get in contact with local employers.

We encourage external employers in Plymouth to contact our Student Jobs team, as when the students return in September many will be eager to secure a part-time job! With one of the largest talent pools in the South West we can help provide you with gifted, enthusiastic and 10

hard - working candidates for your vacancies.

We aim to be that crucial link between our students and local employers. As from day one at Plymouth University we have a strong focus on employability, and will offer excellent support to students eager to build their CV’s and improve upon their future employability.

Student Jobs will gladly manage the entire recruitment process for you. Over the years Student Jobs has developed strong long term relationships with clients, and will always ensure that your business is fully understood before entering the recruitment process. Once we have all the necessary information we will advertise your part- time vacancy using our dedicated vacancy website. Additionally, we will circulate all opportunities through our Twitter feed - ‘@ PlymUniJobs’.

Furthermore, our team will happily manage the applications and create a shortlist of the most suited candidates. We have no fee, therefore we can offer you a prompt and efficient service that will lower recruitment costs and provide you with the perfect candidates!

As an employer or a student, if you are in need of our services or simply would like more information on our Student Jobs team – please contact studentjobs@plymouth.ac.uk or phone 01752 587722.

Plymouths local animal charity needs your help!

Gables Farm Cats’ and Dogs’ Home has been helping the region’s dogs and cats since 1907. We look after some 1000 cats and dogs every year. We either rehome or re-unite them with their owners and provide constant veterinary care and attention to all of them during their stay with us. We enforce a strict non-euthanasia policy, which means no healthy animal in our care is put to sleep unless they are seriously ill and suffering or too dangerous to rehome. Some dogs and cats stay with us for a long time but we never give up hope of finding them a new loving home no matter how much it costs! We rehome animals all over Devon, Somerset, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We receive no Government funding so totally rely on the generosity and support of the public through donations and legacies.

Reasons to smile at White House Dental Care!

Adult orthodontics or brace treatment as people often call it, has become increasingly popular as more and more adults realise braces can be fitted at all ages. Braces are often associated with children but with more discreet options now available, many adults are considering them, whether to improve confidence, to straighten teeth that had always irritated them or because of not knowing that braces could be discreet or even invisible.

O

ne such type of invisible brace is Invisalign and Richard Aldridge of White House Dental Care has treated numerous adult patients at the practice on The Ridgeway, Plympton.

Richard has been with the practice for over 7 years and, as well as Invisalign treatment, offers dental implants for missing or damaged teeth and even facial aesthetics (such as wrinkle reduction,

fillers and peels), along with a high standard of general dental care.

White House Dental Care is well and truly in the summer spirit and is offering not only £250 off invisible (Invisalign) braces, it is offering FREE tooth whitening (worth up to £300) with all Invisalign brace treatments. The initial Invisalign consultation with Richard is also free.

What’s more, the team at White House is opening its doors to brand new patients with a HALF PRICE initial consultation which includes a full examination and X-rays.

Together with their friendly reception team, Richard’s colleagues at the White House include Ailie Aviss-Monro, who has a special interest in nervous patients and children’s oral healthcare.

The distribution of Plympton Community Magazine has never been beaten by any other local competitor!

We have a dedicated marketing distribution company who deliver The Plympton Community Magazine through Plympton household letter box’s. The business was started by two companies who found it difficult to find reliable and economical distributors in the Plymouth and surrounding areas.

Our distributors are respectful of occupants wishes at all times and they will never deliver material where the householder/business owner has requested us not to, we always ensure that all material is delivered into the letterbox and pushed through for security purposes.

Our distributers use Full GPS tracking systems through mobile phones, this is a very unique system which enables us to view every step on every path, through every street, on every road and down every lane! This form of guaranteed tracking can also tell us how many distributers are working and how fast they are walking, this is then followed by spot checking to ensure they carry out the work as required to meet our very high standards.

The Plympton Community Magazine is the original magazine which has been providing local information and great discounts to the people of Plympton for over 3 years. For the past 12 months we have chosen to use this new age form of distribution to ensure Plympton Magazine is delivered on time, every time, with a guaranteed tracked distribution!

Your life: protect it, and enjoy it!

Some insurers are now offering fantastic lifestyle perks when you take out one of their life or health insurance policies, as Mike LeGassick, Independent Financial Adviser with Manning and Company explains.

Each year insurers pay out millions of pounds for life and private medical insurance claims.

Behind each claim is a personal story of loss or illness – the things that happen in life, which we’d all rather didn’t.

Some insurance companies are now recognising that happier, healthier clients mean fewer insurance claims. By teaming up with national brands, these insurers are now offering amazing discounts to encourage clients to enjoy a healthier and more relaxing lifestyle.

Benefits available include half-priced gym membership, and money off relaxing spa days, health screening and fitness equipment.

There are also discounts on WeightWatchers, Champney’s, and the National Trust.

With some policies you can enjoy free cinema tickets every week, and discounts for top UK attractions. It can be worth taking out the insurance just for the value of these benefits alone!

Remember, it’s important to take independent financial advice to make sure any insurance policy is right for your circumstances. So get in touch with me to find out if one of these policies could be right for you.

Mike LeGassick, Independent Financial Adviser, Manning and Company www.manningandco.co.uk

Childcare News BLOOMING GREAT TEA PARTY On Friday 11th July, as part of the Ridgeway Arts Week, students and staff at Ridgeway School hosted a Blooming Great Tea Party, in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Staff baked and decorated and students came and served the teas and coffees and provided entertainment to the guests. They raised a fabulous total of £172.11.

‘READING BETWEEN THE LINES’ Ridgeway Chamber Choir were invited to be a part of the Music of the Night Concert in Plymouth Guild Hall, musically marking 100 years since the beginning of The First World War. With music from the Music of the Night Concert Orchestra and Choral Foundation, solo performances from Soprano Kate Walker and readings and poetry, the evening was both entertaining and poignant.

The Chamber choir performed two original pieces, written by Simon Turley and Kristy Marcer, a beautiful, haunting imagined letter between a mother and her son, at the Front.

Their rendition of ‘Where Ever You Are’ (Paul Mealor) captured the mood perfectly but the delightful ‘Sing Sing Sing’ (Louis Prima) successfully lifted the audience.

Marcus Alleyne, MOTN Musical Director, was full of praise for the Ridgeway students and teacher.

‘Having been on the music scene in Cornwall and Devon for several years now, I 24

am still to find a school choir as competent, confident or as professional as the Ridgeway Chamber Choir. Musical Director Kristy Marcer has an incredible ability to draw the very best from her students, and as a result delivers some of, if not the best student choir within the region...’

Countdown to British Firework Championships begins Six of the UK’s best pyrotechnics companies are busy preparing for an explosive showdown when the British Firework Championships returns to Plymouth Hoe.

V

isitors from all over the world will be coming to see the skies light up above Plymouth’s spectacular waterfront on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th August.

Hosted by The Event Services Association (TESA) in partnership with Plymouth City Council, the Championships celebrate their 18th anniversary this year and are one of the biggest annual displays put on by professional firework companies anywhere in the UK. Tens of thousands of Plymouth residents and holiday makers will head to the Hoe for two evenings of family entertainment, each culminating in three spectacular fireworks displays. More than four tonnes of fireworks will light up the skies as the country’s top pyrotechnics companies battle it out to be named the British Fireworks Champion 2014.

Shellscape from Maidenhead in Berkshire will open the competition on the Tuesday, followed by Blitz Fireworks from Crewe in

Cheshire and Northern Lights Fireworks from Trowbridge in Wiltshire.

Entertainment will be starting from 6.30pm each evening, courtesy of Heart Radio. There will also be fairground rides and refreshment stalls and the first firework displays will start at around 9.30pm each evening as dusk falls.

Deputy Council Leader Peter Smith said: “The British Firework Championships is back and each year it seems to get better and better. Thousands of people enjoy this event and visitors come to Plymouth for a holiday specifically to see the fireworks.

“Plymouth Hoe is a perfect setting for this and everyone is guaranteed a great evening out. If you haven’t been to one of these firework shows before, this one is not to be missed.”

SPINNAKER STAFF HELP SECURE A BETTER FUTURE FOR WOODSIDE ANIMAL SANCTUARY RESIDENTS

U

nwanted pets that stay longer than usual at a Plymouth animal sanctuary can now look forward to a far more stimulating stay whilst they wait for a home. Spinnaker International Ltd staff chose the Woodside Animal Welfare Trust as their charity of the year raising £4,044 to help those pets waiting for adoption.

Woodside Founder Carole Bowles MBE, “When we take pets in, it’s for as long as they need us. Unfortunately, if they are elderly, sick or a type considered less desirable, their stay can be for many months. Avoiding boredom and stress is not only good for their health; it also enables these wallflowers to blossom, which in turn attracts the interest of potential new owners. This wonderful donation will enable us to enrich their living accommodation

and provide activity toys and other equipment.”

Saltash based Spinnaker staff raised the amount with various activities including weekly raffles and bake sales.

Anne Temple, Personnel Manager at Spinnaker said, “We are proud of our staff and how they embrace fund-raising with such enthusiasm. Everyone at Spinnaker has the opportunity to choose the charity for the company to support. Our Thursday afternoon raffles have now become part of Spinnaker culture.”
