Welcome to our summer issue! We have plenty for you to read and, I hope, enjoy in this our first double month summer issue. Have you heard about the pop-up restaurant in the village? Twice a month, Anoushka Lewis, the owner of Scoffers Deli in the High Street, opens the doors on a Friday evening to serve a delicious two or three course home-made dinner menu. It’s very exclusive, so you will need to book, but by all accounts, it is very good indeed. Read Cecelia John’s review! We have an insider’s view of the World Cup, written by ex-footballer Paul Hall. With over 70 international caps, Paul is currently the under-18 manager for QPR and he has played for Portsmouth, Torquay, West Brom, Coventry, Walsall and Sheffield United. This man knows his stuff! Ted Macauley drops a few impressive names, as he talks us through the delicious Porsche Cayman. Henry Turner visits the Great Cockcrow Railway sounds like he had a great day out, and if you like trains, you’ll love this. I enjoyed chatting to the lovely Stephanie Maddox about her passion for healthy living and how she is helping people to enjoy their journey to a fitter way of life. All this and more right here through your door!

Have a totally wonderful summer! (Village Day coverage will appear in the next issue) Warmest regards, Ros x

Introducing Uth Advanced Skin Matrix Rejuvenation Crème. ™

BE THE FIRST IN THE UK TO EXPERIENCE AN ANTI-AGEING REVOLUTION!

Uth contains glycans which activate a chain reaction of signals between cells and stimulate ™

Mannatech is the provider in the skincare market of plant-sourced glycans. We hold 60 patents worldwide for the technology that sources those glycans naturally. • Plant-sourced glycans are combined with a proprietary blend of plant-based ingredients, including wild pansy which stimulates the capacity for the skin to retain water. • The glycans and plant-based ingredients in are delivered in a different way to other skin Uth creams. This unique composition is then spun into a revolutionary new transdermal delivery system developed in France, called Microspheres. These can penetrate the deepest layers of the skin and ™

ingredients over 48 hours. The impact can be immediate and profound, restoring your skin to its smooth, youthful appearance (results may vary across individuals). •

Uth was recently tested in an eight week ™

clinical trial conducted in the US by global skincare product testing organisation Thomas J. Stephens and Associates. Participants saw a reduction in the

Anoushka, the owner of Scoffers Deli and Kitchen in Bookham High Street, trained at the Tante Marie Culinary Academy in Woking, which is co-owned by Gordon Ramsay, and started her own catering company nearly 5 years ago. She decided to open the Scoffers Deli 18 months ago to showcase what she did, and in March this year, she had the idea of having a pop-up restaurant there two Fridays a month from 7.30pm, bookable only, with a set menu of £20 for 3 courses. On a warm June evening, my friend Chris & I went along to give it a go. The starter for the evening, wild mushroom ravioloni with thyme beurre noisette, was full of flavour, with just the right amount of truffle oil. Fabulous. To follow, a trio of mini burgers - a beefburger, a pesto chicken burger and a Thai pork burger with triple cooked chips, coleslaw and green salad – each sat on their own little buns, one brown, one white and one focaccia. This looked wonderful with the different colours of the coleslaw, meat and salad, and was absolutely delicious. The final course was a dessert or a cheese plate. We chose the strawberries and cream shortbreads, huge bits of strawberry, layered between 2 heartshaped pieces of shortbread with a layer of cream. Soooo yummy, and a perfect end

to a meal. The cheese plate consisted of 3 cheeses, including an Isle of Wight Blue, with biscuits and carrot chutney, and also looked amazing. All this was served to us with great good humour by lovely Julia. Everything - and I mean everything - is homemade from scratch, including the chutney, the breads and the pasta, and how they do it all so beautifully in such a small place is beyond me. All produce is locally sourced: the fruit and veg from Layton’s, the meat from Keith at Rawlings and Kensett and the fish from Ron Fowler. They can provide a veggie option if you tell them in advance, and you bring your own alcohol, although a selection of other drinks is available to buy. The restaurant has proved very popular, with bookings already till well into July, and it can be also be hired for private bookings of 12-18 people. Space is at a premium, so if you go as a couple, you have to be prepared to sit on a bigger table with other people, but we liked this very much, as it meant we got to meet and chat to some very interesting and lovely people. Thank you so much, Anoushka and Julia, for such a fantastic meal and for welcoming us so warmly. We both thought it was an absolutely brilliant idea and we had a great evening. See p48 for more details.

FOOTBALL

CRAZY ‘Grab every moment as if it were your last!’ ‘The World Cup will come and go in an instant, don’t let it pass you by, son!’ These words were spoken to me by someone who knew this as a truth and as a fact, a successful recipient of a World Cup winner’s medal, ‘You’re a lucky lad, you are.’ Alan Ball (R.I.P.). 16 years ago, the great man himself articulated his words of wisdom to me as I left Portsmouth, bound for the World Cup of 1998 in France to face Croatia, Argentina and Japan for the Reggae Boyz. I’ve been managed by Terry Venables, Jim Smith, Brian Little, Gordon Strachan, all of whom have imparted various nuggets of their great knowledge to me over the years. However, the advice offered by the diminutive, red haired Ball was without doubt the truest and most resonating. If I could offer any advice to any of the players who are off to their first World Cup in Brazil this year, I would simply repeat those words said to me. It came and went in a flash. As quickly as the first game arrived against Croatia, the second match against Argentina seemed like it was the next day, then came Japan in an instant. Soon the month was all over, and we were on the plane out of France for what seemed like a very quick adventure. It had passed me by. Playing in a World Cup is an unforgettable experience. Brushing shoulders with the

world’s elite and realising the opportunity to pit your skills and wits against the very cream of what football has to offer is truly an experience not many professionals will ever be able to boast about. I distinctly recall the time when our group was drawn, and reacting to the news that we would be facing 2 of the tournament’s favourites in our first 2 games. We were presented with an uphill task right from the word go. Croatia and Argentina didn’t disappoint. So who’s looking forward to the World Cup? I know I am! The spiritual home of football, as it’s known, is hosting the world’s greatest game. As the wheels of World Cup fever are oiled and are turning, I can’t help but join in with the excitement. England has a youthful look about the team and will travel to the South American continent with the hopes and wishes of a nation that continues to tot up the number of years since the last time the World Cup ‘came home’, 48 at last count. Although the expectation is not as elevated as previous years, I would like to believe that England could be a dark horse this year, and maybe surprise a few! After all, there is no point travelling all that way and not believing that you can do well. There is a whole host of teams who are expecting to be triumphant. Surely, any of the teams who finish in front of hosts Brazil, European and world champions Spain, and neighbours Argentina would like to consider themselves

ultimate champions. From my own personal experiences, the psychological pressures will be enormous. The demands will come from all sides; your teammates, the manager, the country’s supporters, the media, and your family, to name but a few! All of these pressures carry their own super-powers that can put you off your game, or give you strength and confidence at any time. If you can get over these psychological hurdles, then you’re ready to play football! The psychological impact of selection/non-selection is probably the most damaging or uplifting, depending on which side of the fence you are on. Playing in a World Cup is a dream that 99.9% of players will have as a youngster. How do you notify someone that they haven’t made the squad? How do you inform the player who has played well all season of the unfortunate news that he won’t be selected to play in the most important game of his life? Roy Hodgson and the other 31 managers will have put many players through this heartbreak. This will never stop for a manager, who will be experiencing his own pressures too. So you manage to get through the selection process, your family are all rooting for you, the media are beginning to whip up a frenzy in anticipation of the first game, your manager has shown you the belief you wanted him to. Then you have to line up against players who know you inside out, or who are simply better. These players know your every move. Veron, Batistuta, Prosinecki, Ortega, Simeone to name a few. Pressures again, but of a different kind! You still have to perform. You could say the pressures of our group were stacked in favour of Argentina and Croatia, and that Jamaica and Japan weren’t expected to progress any further and were there simply to make up the numbers. However, we had our own pressures, as it was our first World Cup and we wanted to give a good account of ourselves. I hold great memories of my adventure in the 1998 World Cup and will

be watching this competition in Brazil with great interest. Some of the world’s greatest players will go head to head to prove who will be returning to domestic football with the bragging rights. It will be interesting to see who will grab the chance to shine and not let this amazing opportunity for all to pass them by.

Paul currently is a Professional Development Coach at Queen’s Park Rangers Football Club. He also performs one-to-one football coaching lessons to develop players’ skills and game understanding, whatever the age. Would you like to improve your son/ daughter’s game with one-to-one coaching? Maybe your team needs a pointer or two to help it improve its overall game or fitness? Interested?

CAR REVIEW

C AY M A N honoured Newman’s dream on behalf of the German automotive geniuses. The newcomer then, now in a third-generation settled phase, is a triumph of engineering, excitement and economy, rolled into one desirably superb package. It is called the Cayman. And for my money, quid for quid, it is the best sportscar of them all. Forget the Ferraris, Maseratis and Aston Martin wallet-busters: the much, much cheaper Cayman is priceless in its worth as an object of desire, and just as quick and racy as any of them. I hope I’m not sounding over the top, but my view, I know, is shared by fellow motoring journalists worldwide. Why? It rides beautfully and safely at flat-out speed, is quiet,r oomy, comfy, smart inside and has a kerbside profile befitting a superstar. Push it. Coast it. It takes all in its faultless stride. I prefer the 2.7 to the more muscular 3.4 S version because I fail to see the point of paying thousands of quid more for an extra spec or two, another split-second off the 0-60mph time or a sports exhaust system. Trophy Wife, a competent and quick driver, is fussy over fashion statements on wheels and an avowed fan of style on the move. She and I enjoyed the car so much on a try-out that we bought one. Perhaps, and hopefully, one day she’ll let me drive it.

Specification: Porsche Cayman S. Engine : 3.4. Top speed: 176mph.0-60 mph 5.0secs. 30Fuel: petrol. Mpg 32.1. Price 3.4S: £48.783. 2.7 : £39.694.

By Ted Macauley

Travelling down Memory Lane, the road to nostalgia,can be a trip to savour, especially for shameless name-droppers like me. Here we go. The scene was a ritzy restaurant in Arizona. Paul Newman...yep...THE Hollywood movie heartthrob...was at my table, sitting on my left, and beside him was Nigel Mansell...yep... THE Formula One world champion. I was covering for a national newspaper Mansell’s debut in Indycar racing in the USA. Newman had rented a private jet in Miami,where he was filming, to watch our mutual pal warming up for his first race in Phoenix. I had no clue that, when Mansell told me we would be joined for lunch by a fan of his, it would be Newman. Imagine my shock when I walked to the table and he was sitting there.We spent the whole week dining together. And the talk was all about cars.Newman’s favourite subject. Porsche in particular. His dream machine. He had raced them spectacularly in the terrifying Le Mans 24 clash and had been a winner and a four times US champion. “One day, I would bet any money, Porsche will produce a road car that will be every sports car fan’s desire to own,” he forecast. ”The ultimate pleasure.The perfect mix of performance and panache. And affordable. Take my word.” He must be spinning gleefully in his grave right now because two decades or so on, Porsche

SUMMER

RECIPE

NAUGHTY BUT NICE EXOTIC ZINGY ICE CREAM! INGREDIENTS • 2 limes

• 140g golden caster sugar

• 125g punnet blueberries

• 200ml carton coconut cream

• 284ml carton double cream

• extra blueberries, to serve

METHOD Finely grate the zest from one of the limes and squeeze the juice from both. Put in a small pan with the sugar and heat gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the blueberries and simmer for 2 minutes, just until the skins start to split. Pour the blueberry mixture into a bowl and stir in the coconut cream. Leave to cool. Whip the cream in a large bowl until it just holds its shape, then gradually stir in the blueberry mixture. Put the bowl in the freezer for about 1 hour, until the mixture is set about 3cm in from the edges. Remove from the freezer and mix it all together using a whisk. When it’s fairly smooth, return to the freezer for a further hour, then repeat the whisking one more time. Transfer the ice cream to a rigid container, cover and freeze until firm, or for up to a month. Before serving, move to the fridge for 30 minutes to soften. Serve with extra blueberries scattered over.

GARDENING MATTERS The world is your oyster with the species names of plants (always lower case). People, animals, habitat, you name it, they are named after it. Let’s start with compass points and places…. Plants grow where it suits them, they’re clever like that. Some grow in several continents and their names often show where in the world they are from. Borealis describes plants from the north and are bound to be hardy: eg Phlox borealis is from Alaska and can survive temperatures of -45C. Betula borealis (Northern birch) grows across North America and can survive similar temperatures. At the other extreme, we have australis, meaning ‘south’ and not just ‘from Australia’: eg Cordyline australis is from New Zealand. However, not all plants with this name come from as far south as that: Baptisia australis from the eastern US has this name because it grows at the southern extremity of the range of that particular genus. Confusing, eh? Orientalis, meaning ‘eastern’, is one of the most common names, and it tends to mean simply ‘east of Europe’ – in other words, the Orient, a rather old-fashioned word now. It conjures up mystery and riches, and many plants with this name, such as Papaver orientalis, the Oriental poppy, are well worth growing. In addition, there is occidentalis, meaning ‘western’, as in Thuja occidentalis, the white cedar, and centralis, meaning

‘central’, unsurprisingly. Many plants are restricted to a continent, but are not necessarily widespread: they merely come from that continent, as opposed to another. On the whole, the names are obvious: europeus, asiaticus and americanus shouldn’t be surprising. Africa isn’t quite so easy to identify: along with africanus, there’s also afer (usually Northern Africa) or aethiopicus, as in the wonderful arum lily, Zantedeschia aethiopica (with an ’a’ at the end because it’s a feminine noun in Latin). The other continents, India – indicus – and Australia – australiensis – aren’t difficult to identify, but beware of australis (see above). Naming plants isn’t particularly easy, but giving them the name of origin is a slightly simpler solution, although plants don’t respect boundaries, and so they may be found in a neighbouring state, even if they’re named after a specific country. In most cases, it’s easy to guess the country: italicus, germanicus , arabicus, hungaricus are all obvious. Some have been Latinised but are still understandable, eg novae-zelandiae for New Zealand. Some are a touch more obscure but can be worked out: amicorum is a direct translation of the Friendly Isles (Tonga). Others are trickier: sinensis is ‘from China’, but anyone who has sat through a history lesson at school on the SinoJapanese Wars will recognise this. And I expect you’ll all recognise japonica, meaning ‘from Japan’, as in Fatsia japonica, although many give this name to a thorny shrub with beautiful flowers and hard, apple-like fruit, whose full name is Chaenomeles japonica. Nearly up to the word count now, but next time, regions and also towns and villages. So many possibilities with the species names, so little space……

GREAT COC

Steam locomotives and railways may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Chertsey, but with the arrival of summer, one of Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more novel family attractions has opened its doors. The Great Cockcrow Railway, a scale-model railway built on land owned by Ian Allan OBE, sits near the village of Lyn and offers rides to visitors. Built to â&#x2026;&#x203A; scale, the site consists of well over two miles of track, two train lines and is operated by a team of volunteers. The locomotives themselves are owned by individual contributors to the railway. Many were and continue to be painstakingly built and maintained, with the oldest dating from 1913. Visiting earlier last month on a rather warm and sunny day, I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see what the line had to offer. I bought a ticket for the red line from the ticket office and proceeded to wait for a train with various other visitors. Waiting with me were various young families, among whom the young boys seemed

enthralled by the trains as they entered and departed the station, each locomotive running off steam just like their larger counterparts. The station itself, the most active out of the several on the railway, consciously harkens back to the days of steam, prior to the nationalisation of the railways, and sports the livery of Southern Trains. The station consists of two platforms, a signal box for the fully functioning signals system across the railway, a working turntable for reversing the locomotives and a maintenance workshop. When the time eventually came to board, we were shown to one of the small box cars. Sitting upon planks on either end, adults have a tight squeeze to fit both their feet in, which for we tall types led to a rather awkward bowlegged pose. The strength of the locomotive when it finally got under way was quite a surprise, and it gathered a steady pace as it pulled its six laden passenger cars into the light woodland ahead.

KCROW RAILWAYS

as they steam about the site. The drivers must pay attention to their instruments exactly as their counterparts in history would have. Most of the engines themselves were built from kits by members, at a cost of great time and expense, but maintaining them is clearly a community effort. Though those getting their hands dirty were evidently exercising a niche enthusiasm as far as hobbies go, it seemed clear that the magic of railways themselves has a broad appeal. The kids that rode seemed to love the experience, in spite of the long wait, and the excursion constitutes a good excuse to enjoy the sun. Perhaps then, Cockcrow is a great destination for families looking for a good broad base of appeal. And, for the voyeurs among us, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the opportunity to watch your family have fun whilst nursing a cup of tea on the sidelines.

WORDS BY HENRY TURNER

Bridges, tunnels and some odd stuffed animals decorate the route, which twists and turns past signal boxes, other stations and even past the M25. After my ride, I was able to speak with Chris Bishop, a senior volunteer at the club, who showed me some of the maintenance work being done on the locomotives. Chris is one of the few volunteers who was present when the railway was moved from a private garden, the owner of which had died, to its present location in 1962. The railway is now run as a commercial operation. Among the old hands, the number of young volunteers who were working on the machines was quite encouraging. It seemed reassuring to see new blood showing an interest in history and technical skills. I was also shown around the storage shed where many of the locomotives are kept under tarpaulins. The engines, it was explained to me, work in exactly the same manner as their full-scale counterparts.They burn coal and require water top-ups from scale water towers

MEDICAL MATTERS!!

DIABETES & DIET P A R T

T W O

As discussed in the previous issue, diet is the cornerstone for management of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), but it is often said that it is not rocket science and really should be seen as a balanced healthy diet which we should all be following. It should be as straightforward as that. However, there are the potential red herrings or pitfalls along the way. Processed foods can prove a challenge, from ready meals to cereals to take-aways. Labelling can sometimes be a little misleading or confusing, such as ‘low fat’ and ‘no added sugar’. Ready meals and take-aways can have a lot of hidden sugar (and salt which is not great for blood pressure), so it may be best to avoid, or at least minimise, the amount of these foods that are consumed. Processed foods which are ‘low sugar’ can be high in fat (this is what makes it taste nice!) which is also not helpful for diabetes. If in doubt, avoid! Fruit can also prove difficult to get right sometimes. Fruit is good for us! However, it contains a natural sugar, and if eaten in large portions, it can send blood sugar levels too high. The golden rules with fruit are : *Avoid multiple portions of fruit at one sitting much better to be spread over the day. Avoid very sweet fruits altogether *’The sweeter the fruit, the smaller the portion’, so with grapes or strawberries, for example, which are usually quite sweet, a small portion that fits in the palm of your hand is about right.

ENSURE YOU ARE

SAFE & SECURE... There has been much publicity concerning a major security issue affecting your computers, data and your online presence. The government has taken the unusual step of a public notice campaign and a dedicated website, detailing the online risks. The website is www.staysafeonline.org. So, what is the need for this new level of awareness? There have been a couple of particularly sophisticated hacking attacks; one is called Gameover Zues, the other is Cryptolocker

WHAT ARE GAMEOVER ZEUS AND CRYPTOLOCKER? Gameover Zeus is used by cybercriminals to intercept transactions during online banking sessions. Cryptolocker is a form of ransomware, which works by encrypting files on your hard-drive, then demanding payment for the key to decrypt. To date, there are very few reliable methods of decrypting your data once Cryptolocker has attacked, apart from restoring from a previous backup. So be warned.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF Having an operational, updated quality internet security product, such as Bullguard, will dramatically reduce the risk of infection, as they are already protecting against versions of Gameover Zeus and Cryptolocker. However, here are some tips: • If you receive an e-mail with an attachment, do not open it unless it’s expected • Do not click on website links to download files unless you have requested them • Make sure your security software is updated to the latest version to protect against Gameover Zeus • Run regular full viral and malware scans of your computers • Ensure you have all data backed up Use strong passwords: to check out the strength of your password, go to https://howsecureismypassword.net Some of the results here are quite revealing.

Subscribe to our Total Care Support agreement, and we will protect your machine and your data. If you become infected, we will resolve the problem, free of further costs. Further information can be found on the opposite page… This guide was written by Les Beer from TecRes, which has been providing computer solutions since 1989. How can we help you?

Junior Golf at Effingham Golf Club Effingham Golf Club boasts a thriving junior section (up to 18 years) of boys and girls, providing a progressive programme from new starter to accomplished player. The club has hosted the British Open qualifying rounds, and in May 2014 was the chosen venue for the Southern Qualifier for the Brabazon Trophy, the English Men’s Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship. The course boasts fantastic views and is considered one of the best downland courses in England. Effingham Golf Club is one of the few local clubs accredited with the prestigious England Golf Mark Award, a national scheme that identifies and recognizes junior and beginner friendly golf facilities. The three key areas within the golf club which are assessed are: • Coaching & Playing • Club Environment (including sports equity & ethics) • Child Protection & Duty of Care (a copy of

the EGC Safeguarding Policy is available by request) Junior Membership invitation to local young golfers The club is keen to extend the opportunity of junior membership to existing young golfers in the local area. Much of the coaching is subsidised by the club so as to make it affordable to all. As well as regularly monthly competitions, there are inter- club matches. There is no joining fee for a new junior member but there is a modest annual subscription of £100 (under 13 yrs) £205 (13-18 yrs). Junior Golf for Novices and New starters If you are either a complete novice or interested in just giving golf a go, the club is keen to help you with its junior golf development scheme. Many winners of the junior trophies at the club came through this process with some having started as young as 8 years old and then working up to junior membership.

You can find out more about joining Junior Golf by contacting our PGA Professional:Lee Boxall: lee@effinghamgolfclub.com or call 01372 452203 (golf inquiries – pro shop)

News from The Meeting Place Our café mornings on Saturdays and Mondays continue to be as popular as ever: the homemade cakes from The Grange and the freshly brewed coffee are obviously a big draw, but so also is the opportunity to chat, meet up with friends and make new ones. Our visitors span all age ranges, some are regulars and some just pop in occasionally, but all are made welcome. We are always happy to link up with other events taking place that morning, whether it is large scale, such as the Rotary’s “Know your Blood Pressure” day, or a smaller committee meeting that can be accommodated in a quiet corner. The café is open on Monday and Saturday mornings, 10am-12noon. We have been pleased to welcome volunteers from The Grange onto the weekday team, and on Saturdays have been able to offer volunteering experience to two Duke of Edinburgh Award candidates. We have recently launched our Language Hub, which enables us to reach out to a potentially isolated group in our community. The Meeting Place Language School offers reasonably priced English language classes led by trained TEFL teachers, and we have been pleased by the uptake for these so far. Classes are in blocks of six lessons, each spanning approximately half a term. Our latest venture is one that has been central to our thinking from the beginning, and in fact, runs through all that we do: that is, to develop the idea of a Help Hub. We already have links with the other churches in Bookham, and team members are willing and able to signpost those in need to sources of appropriate help. Recently, some of the team have worked locally with Besom (www.besom.com), some have volunteered as befrienders with CAP (Christians Against Poverty), and several volunteer with the Trussell Trust Foodbank at Leatherhead. As you can see, we certainly keep busy. We held an Open Morning in June to recruit some more volunteers, but if the sort of activities we get up to fire YOUR imagination, it is not too late to join us. Do pop in to either café session for a coffee and to meet the team, or use the contact details below.

SURREY POLICE NOTICE

Neil Clarke, 13363 Neighbourhood Team Co-ordinator Over the past few years, officers & specialists within your Safer Neighbourhood Team have been very grateful to be given the opportunity by Ros to pass on (what we hope is) some practical advice & guidance on how to minimise the risks of becoming a victim of crime. As the person who has taken responsibility for submitting this advice, I drew heavily on the long-standing expertise from colleagues who have many years of experience working on the “front line” of policing. Now, it’s my turn to be the Crime Reduction “voice” of Surrey Police, as, from the beginning of May, I changed job roles & have now assumed the responsibility of Crime Reduction Advisor for the boroughs of Mole Valley & Epsom & Ewell. This is a big challenge, but one that I hope to grasp proactively & develop over time as I gain practical experience, following some pretty intensive training with the College of Policing. I believe very strongly, however, that nothing can beat practical experience and so I intend to build on my past six years of working as a Team Coordinator within Surrey Police. During this time, I often worked closely with my predecessor, Mike Bessent, who was the main contributor for many of the articles that were submitted previously. I also hope to draw on my experience working as a Special Constable across Mole Valley, to provide realistic, cost-effective & appropriate advice on a wide range of issues that can affect Surrey residents. Whilst I have this opportunity to speak on a more “personal” level, I am aware that there remains some general public confusion about exactly what a “Special Constable” is, in terms of their function, responsibilities, training etc. This is in spite of the

fact that the “Specials” have actually been around longer than the regular police force! “Specials” are volunteer police officers, which is a totally different role from Police Community Support Officers, or PCSOs. “Specials” are required to give a minimum time commitment each month to provide policing support alongside their regular counterparts. They normally hold down other full-time paid employment (like me) but have received full training as a police officer in their own time (often during evenings and weekends) over many months, which includes on-going assessment as well as passing a written examination which is accredited to the same national standards as required by regular officers. Specials also have to complete all the “refresher training” that is required of regular officers, including the annual fitness assessment, personal safety training & first aid. Once “sworn in” by a magistrate, Specials then have to work alongside qualified tutor police constables to demonstrate their competence across a wide range of policing practices. Over time, they have to submit evidence of their competence in a variety of different situations until they reach a point where they are assessed by senior officers to be “occupationally competent”. At this point, they are confirmed as substantive officers & can then patrol independently and are expected to deal with any incidents that may arise to exactly the same standards as their regular counterparts. It is great, from a personal perspective, to be able to combine my specialist role within Surrey Police with being able to provide practical “hands on” policing support to your local Safer Neighbourhood Teams.
