to February
What a mixed bag of weather to start this decade! Such extremes reported from around the Globe. At the time of writing, Australia are awaiting a much needed ‘5 day rain storm’ which hopefully will extinguish the dreadful bush fires. What an awful time they have been having, it makes me stop and think before I complain about our damp weather here. A few muddy dog towels is really nothing to worry about! So what is going on in and around Bookham at the moment; our What’s On pages have a collection of events for you to dip into, see pages 17-19 for information. We have a selection of events and groups that may be of interest including a Cruise Show, Art Classes, Concerts, and an invitation to join the green fingered locals who open their Garden this summer! If you have a ‘little one’ you might be interested to read what’s on offer at Bookham Baptist Children’s Centre. We are so lucky to have this facility in the village, so please do see page 24 for information. Bookham Wine Club invite you to join them this month when they learn about Australia’s ‘best kept secrets’ in the form of small family run vineyards. BRA’s February submission is worth noting, and if you are interested in the Village Plan see page 30 for info. Wishing you all a good month and a Happy Valentines Day on 14th! Best Regards,
Ros

Bookham Wine Club
reveals Australia’s Best Kept Secrets on Monday 10th February… BWC’s February meeting welcomes the return of Elliot Awin, ABS Wine Agencies, and Ed Herzog, ExCellar, the Ashtead wine merchant, when they reveal ‘Australia’s Best Kept Secrets.’ ABS have specialised in importing quality Australian wines for a number of years; as Elliot explains “we shine a light on exceptional wines produced by small, family owned growers whose wines are often not exported further than the region where they are produced.” Members will be invited to taste six wines carefully selected by Elliot, 3 white and 3 red. Sadly, as we prepare for our meeting, fires are ravaging
5
regions of Australia, and many vineyards are not escaping the flames! We do hope for better news when we meet in February. Our friendly wine tastings are held on the second Monday of each month in the Harrison Room at the rear of the Old Barn Hall … for details of the Club’s programme of wine tastings visit: www. bookhamwineclub.org.uk. If you would like to attend one of our monthly tastings, or would like further information, please contact: membership@ bookhamwineclub.org.uk

Rotarian Keith Slark presented with Rotary’s highest award
Keith Slark (right) receives Paul Harris Fellowship from Nick Garrett - Dec2019
Bookham & Horsley Rotary Club had a special award to present to member Keith Slark, who will take over as Club president next summer, at our recent Christmas dinner. Keith was presented with a Paul Harris Fellowship (named after Rotary’s founder), in recognition of his many years of service to the Club and wider Bookham community. Current president Nick Garrett commented: “Keith has given a lifetime of service to the community, ranging from being a scout leader in his early adult life, to playing a major role in developing the new Scouting Centre in Bookham, and being well-known over many years as Chairman and chief advocate for the Bookham Community Association. Since joining our Rotary Club some years ago Keith has been a constant voice of reason and source of energy, and has very successfully organised our Christmas collections for the last two years.

Bookham Open Gardens DAY SUNDAY 21ST JUNE 2020
For a great day out looking round gardens, do make sure you put the date in your diaries now. It’s the day after Village Day and we like to think that it is one of the highlights of the local social calendar. As ever, we are always on the lookout for new gardens. If you think you might be interested in opening and would like to share your garden with our visitors, you are most welcome to contact us for a chat. The joy is in the variety, from quirky to formal, productive to picturesque. Don’t worry if you think your garden is smaller than some of our usual gardens - sometimes it’s good to see what can be achieved in a small place. Opening is a great way to get to know people and feel part of the community. If you would like to open your garden or help for an hour or two in any other way, please contact Brenda Kent, 01372 453952, email bnb.selworthy@btinternet.com, on behalf of the Bookham Open Gardens Day committee. You can also check out and ‘Like’ our Facebook Community Page. Diane Poole

Many of you will know that lots of Children's Centres across Surrey are sadly closing due to funding cuts. This includes the closure of Leatherhead Trinity Children's Centre last year. The good news is that Bookham Baptist runs its very own independent Children's Centre during the week for local families. There has been a real increase in demand on the Centre with the closure of Leatherhead, so it’s fantastic that the Children’s Centre is able to offer so much for the local community. Families can access all kinds of information and support from the specialist staff at the Centre, including a Family Support Worker (Emma Usher) for any families who need a little extra care and support. Plus, in an average week at the drop-in groups the Centre sees: 2 new mums coming to Bumps & Babies for the first time for support with feeding, help with baby sling carriers and to meet other mums; 20 pre-schoolers playing with toys, playdough and craft and enjoying healthy snacks at Noah's Ark stayand-play toddler group; and

Cookies….. without the cream A couple of years ago the kind of governing body of the internet decided it needed to standardise on certain processes and be more open about what the website providers were collating. As a result most companies on the internet were encouraged to use a code of practice about what data they collect when you log on to their website. This is done through the use of cookies

For example, a session cookie would be working when the website you are visiting remembers what you have put in your shopping basket. Session cookies generally expire after a browser session ends. • Persistent cookies - these cookies are stored on your device between browser sessions. This is useful because it enables the preferences/actions of the user to be remembered across a website.

Third party cookies are set by a domain which is not the one being visited by the user. For example, if you visit a website and a separate company has set a cookie through that website this would be a third party cookie. • Tracking Cookies are a specific type of cookie that is distributed, shared, and read across two or more unrelated Web sites for the purpose of gathering information or potentially to present customized data to you...

Kia XCEED CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY
The motor car market is awash with bargains galore, and yet another wee treat has arrived to excite those who enjoy being seen in the latest offering. It is Kia’s brand new Xceed - a funky looking SUV, a sporting crossover and a distinct challenger to reigning rivals without it breaking the bank or failing to give value for your lolly. The Korean car makers are so confident they have designed a winner with stamina as well as style, they back their invasion on to the SUV scene with a staggering, unrivalled and unprecedented 100,000 mile/seven year warranty. Wow wee!!! In a recent reliability survey Kia finished sixth out of 31 manufacturers - just behind Toyota, but better than Skoda and streets ahead of Ford and Volkswagen, with that record breaking warranty - the best on any car. So what do you get for your hard-earned? A real treat in my humble opinion...a kerbside beauty that is both a pleasure to walk up to and to drive, whether around town or on longer motorway journeys, both of which it manages with panache and economy with 50-odd plus miles to the gallon. It revels in a softer setting with clever dampers, but
28 Looklocal Magazine - February 2020
loses nothing in its all-round ability to cope with bumps or silky smooth surfaces, while at the same time keeping drivers and passengers nice and comfy with an infotainment system that is a joy to listen to — the product of a treasure of a touch screen. The best bargain buy I reckon is the 1.0-litre petrol engined model with its low CO2 emissions and is cheaper to purchase than the 1.6 litre diesel. And that is welcome news for private buyers and company car users alike. Altogether the Xceed is powered by three engines - two petrol, one diesel, all six speed. The 1.6 litre diesel has a bit more mid range attitude, but it is slower in outright speed than its kin. Only high mileage drivers seeking to maximise on economy could be justified in paying its price premium. For me it ticks all the boxes and in its class, probably the toughest and most testing branch of motoring, the latest Kia is a sure fire winner. XCEEDingly good in fact.... My favourite: The XCEED 1.6 CRDI3. Engine 1.6 litre. Four cylinders.134 Bhp. Six speed. 0-60mph in 10.2 secs.Top speed 122mpg. Mpg 64.2. Price £25,345.

THE BOOKHAMS’ RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION
Wombling and LOCAL PLAN PUBLIC MEETING Do you Womble? We are very fortunate to live in a beautiful part of Surrey, where there is a strong community spirit. On the first Sunday of each month members of the Bookhams Residents’ Association and volunteers meet at the Lower Shott car park, to carry out a litter pick. Whilst every effort is made to keep the village litter free, we are proposing an additional scheme where residents can “Go Wombling” on a road near to their home, periodically clearing litter. If you would like to get involved and adopt a road, or part of a road, please get in touch with Margaret our Litter Pick Co-ordinator either via our message line 0300 030 9890 or via the BRA web site www.bookhamresidents.org.uk. Equipment can be provided if needed such as Hi-Viz gilets, grabs and rubbish bag hoops. If we know where “wombling” is taking place the litter pickers can concentrate their efforts in other parts of the village. (For those unfamiliar with Wombles they are fictional pointy-nosed, furry creatures created by Elisabeth Beresford and originally appeared in a series of children’s novels from 1968. They live in burrows where they aim to help the environment by collecting and recycling rubbish in fun and exciting ways. They had their own BBC TV show and Top Twenty novelty hits)
Mole Valley District Council Local Plan – Public Meeting Thursday 6th February 7.30 pm – Old Barn Hall MVDC will shortly be issuing their revised Local Plan and the consultation period will take place between 3rd February and 16th March 2020.

THE LEATHERHEAD & DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY
COMMANDER ALASTAIR GUTHRIE DENNISTON (1890 - 1961) The world of historical espionage is on your doorstep as you will hear if you drop in at the Letherhead Institute on Friday, 21 February when Lorraine Spindler, former curator of Leatherhead Museum, gives the latest monthly lecture on Spies and Trained Assassins - How events in Mole Valley changed the direction of WW2. Surrey’s historical links to spying and undercover activities included crossword clues, secretive bank managers, and six Special Operations Executive (SOE) training centres. This talk follows on from the December lecture when L&DLHS chairman John Rowley told the story of Commander Alastair Guthrie Denniston (1890-1961) who lived in Ashtead, founded what is now GCHQ, and secretly served his country during both world wars. In the first he played a crucial role in bringing about American involvement on Britain’s side by translating a decoded German telegram revealing a proposed invasion of US territory from Mexico. Shortly before the second war he led a delegation to Poland to see a code- breaking device whose principle would be developed for the Enigma machine. He also established Bletchley Park as Britain’s intelligence headquarters and recruited Alan Turing among others whose work made victory possible over the Nazis.

The L&DLHS monthly talks are on the third Friday of each month throughout the winter. They are always at the Letherhead Institute with refreshments served from 7.30pm and speakers getting under way at 8pm. Nonmembers are always welcome and the entrance fee is just £2. The Society’s Annual General Meeting will be held there Friday, 20 March, the 73rd since its foundation in the 1940s. Member Simon Ritchie will then talk on Ordnance Survey Trig Points - Industrial Archaeology Hiding in Plain Sight. Trig points were used for producing maps before the days of GPS so nowadays are no more than historical relics. Recent talks have included real eye openers. The one in January was entitled Photographs, Pen Pals & President Trump’s Mother. A few years ago Leatherhead artist and author Cathy Brett discovered five faded photographs of her grandmother Agnes’s pen pal, Mary Ann MacLeod. Lengthy research followed, culminating in a TV documentary entitled The President’s Mother and a graphic memoir exploring the lifelong friendship of Agnes and Mary Ann, mother of US President Donald Trump.

Gardening Matters WINTER CARE
The Big Chill. Who knows when it will strike, but if you’re anything like me, a mixture of laziness, optimism and inattention will catch you unawares. The Sunday papers or winter walks are so much more alluring than getting stuck into the garden in winter, but there can hardly be anywhere that didn’t suffer losses during The Beast from the East. Plants can be expensive to replace, so let’s get going before the weather gets worse. Terracotta absorbs water, which expands when it freezes, causing cracks and breakages. Even pots claiming to be frost-proof have been seen off in recent winters, so try wrapping hessian around them to minimise the risk of cracking. Grouping pots together will provide protection, as less surface area is exposed to the cold. Raise them onto ‘feet’ to ensure good drainage, which will also mean their roots aren’t sitting in a pool of chilly, root-rotting water. In an ideal world, everyone would have a heated greenhouse where they could move tender plants. If your tender plants are in the ground, lay a thick layer of straw or bark around the roots as a mulch, or cover them securely with horticultural fleece. Cover your veg crops with fleece or cloches for protection, but remove cloches on warm days or the plants will bake. Remember to replace them before the evening chill. Do we ever lag outside pipes and taps and bring in the

hoses? Do we??? It is SUCH a bore, and they often survive perfectly happily, but really, how long does it take to drag a hose inside to stop it splitting, or to wrap some bubble wrap round a tap? Probably less time than it takes to find a plumber to deal with burst pipes. And hoses are expensive, so you’ll be kicking yourself. I know. I still have the bruises. Turn off fountains and water features, and if you have fish in a pond, keep a small area ice-free by floating a children’s ball in it so that toxic gases don’t build up underneath. Floating electric heaters will keep a hole clear too, but you need an electricity supply and a ball is WAY cheaper. The birdies are greatly in need of food in winter, when natural supplies run out. Hang feeders away from areas where cats linger, keeping them replenished while the weather’s grim. Try to avoid removing seedheads on plants such as sedum and honesty for as long as possible. Encouraging birds into the garden also helps us as gardeners because they eat insects and pests which would otherwise demolish precious plants. Cut back any whippy stems on roses so they don’t have to battle the wind, and tidy up fallen branches/escaped compost bags/watering cans/food bins… oh dear, you now have a picture of how my garden looks. Shameful. I’m off out there… after I’ve just finished this coffee.

HOME WANTED! Benji
Adorable Benji is around 7 yrs old. He came into our care as his owner passed away. Benji was traumatised when he first came to us but is now really beginning to settle and show his very sweet personality. He is quite shy so would benefit from an understanding owner prepared to give him some time and space. Once he gets to know you he is a very gentle cat who is really loving. He is long haired and loves to be brushed; he now greets his foster carer with a little meow and a kiss to say good morning! Benji needs to be the only pet in an adult household to give him the quiet and relaxed environment he is looking for. If you feel you can give Benji his well deserved forever home please call 0345 260 1387 or email adoption@epsom.cats.org.uk Epsom Ewell & District Branch http://www.epsom.cats.org.uk If you cannot adopt a cat but would still like to help us please go to https://www.justgiving.com/Epsom-CatsProtection

ROTARY GIFT FOR HOSPICE CARE AT HOME

A huge brunch date for 130 guests raised a hearty £1,000 for Princess Alice Hospice. Members of Bookham and Horsley Rotary Club enjoyed the mid-morning get-together in November, to highlight and support the Hospice’s care for people in their own homes. When Rotary President Nick Garrett and Treasurer Terry Driscoll visited the Hospice to hand over the money, Nick said the club had been inspired by his account of the Hospice’s care for his wife, Carol, who
42 Looklocal Magazine - February 2020
died earlier this year. He said: “It was such a relief to have Hospice nurses come out to care for my wife. We really appreciated it.” Accepting the cheque, Partnership Fundraiser Eilís Kiernan said: “Donations are the lifeblood of the Hospice - without which we could not continue to provide outstanding care. “The Rotary club’s funding represents several visits from a nurse - a relief for patients who wish to stay in their homes, and a lifeline for their families and carers.”

Crime Reduction NEIL CLARKE, 13362 CRIME REDUCTION ADVISOR EASTERN DIVISION
Back in 1829, Sir Richard Mayne, wrote, “The primary object of an efficient police force is the prevention of crime; the next that of detection and punishment of offenders if crime is committed. To these ends all the efforts of police must be directed.” End of lesson!! You can probably tell that my training as a Crime Reduction Advisor remains fresh in my mind, hence the need to share! What is interesting, however, is that this quotation from the longest ever serving Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police states that the “primary object” is the “prevention of crime”. Of course, there is an understanding that victims of crime want to see the offenders identified (detection) and punished but it does provide an indication of why I feel that crime prevention is a vital part of the role of the police within communities. My rather simplistic view is that it is impossible to prevent all crime - but that so much that can be done by all of us to deter it. From a crime reduction perspective, putting obstacles in the way of a would-be burglar can have a significant deterrent effect. It won’t prevent the burglar from carrying out their intentions but they can be made to think twice before targeting your home and property. Most deterrent measures are so simple and straightforward but they often get overlooked as we become complacent and focus on other aspects of our lives. Obviously, the importance of locking all doors and windows when your home is unoccupied is the first rule. From there, it is about putting in place measures that deter criminal activity. Having a good line of sight
44 Looklocal Magazine - February 2020
from the roadside to the front of your home is the first measure; lowering high hedges and creating a level of “natural surveillance” which will prevent a burglar being able to work without being observed. Having some low-level exterior lighting which illuminates the front of your home also helps to remove pools of shadow where a burglar could be hidden and unobserved. The next is to remove things that could aid a burglar to gain access. This can include moving wheelie bins that could be used as a climbing aid to get over a side gate to the back of your home. Also, not leaving ladders or tools where they could be used to climb or to target your doors and windows is a sensible precaution that often gets overlooked. Having some timers within your home to bring on lights when you are not there is also a good idea. The best way to do this is to set the lights to come on in a staggered pattern, mirroring as much as possible your normal routine when at home. The most effective deterrent will always be a visible intruder alarm system but I accept that not everyone subscribes to this view. At the very least, however, I would always recommend registering your property online via the secure Immobilise.com database. It’s free, very simple to do and you can create an inventory of absolutely anything you own. Anyone who would like me to carry out a free and impartial home security survey can contact me on 01483 630 809 or by email to Neil.Clarke@surrey. pnn.police.uk to make an appointment.
