See their feature on page 12. A fond farewell was bid to two of our long serving retailers recently. After many years of hard work both have decided it’s time for pastures new… David Fuller and Keith Weston have both retired from their prospective businesses and a collection of their fellow retailers and local business buddies held a bit of do for them to mark the occasion.

Salut Spring!
It’s almost time to wave Winter goodbye and welcome the Spring! Hopefully weather conditions will make it a warm welcome, so why not head outside and give your garden a spring clean? Perk up your patio or driveway by power-cleaning them. Mulch borders, feed perennials and clear leaves and moss. Aerate your lawn, sweep in some sharp sand and add a good fertiliser to give it a boost. If your lawn is beyond reviving, it may be more time efficient and costeffective to replace it completely. You can update bare borders and reshape them at the same time. Complete your makeover with a new patio, or extend an existing one to create extra space for entertaining, dining and relaxing outside. Installing a BBQ or outdoor kitchen will help to get the most out of your garden and ensure you spend quality time outdoors. Don’t forget to refresh tables and chairs by giving them a good clean. You can take your furniture from shabby to chic in just one afternoon. Remove dirt and cobwebs from wooden or wrought iron furniture with a stiff brush, before cleaning thoroughly and restoring the finish to its former glory. Invest in some new cushions or accessories for an instantly stylish update. Hopefully 2020 will be a year of plenty. Plenty of good weather and plenty of good times in your garden!
Need ideas to update or improve your garden? Contact Boardman Gelly & Co on 01306 611231 or email info@boardman-gelly.co.uk. for a free, no obligation quote.

VISIT TO ZAMBIA IN FEBRUARY Bookham’s international education charity Aprender had a successful visit to Zambia in February working with a school in the city of Mongu, Western Zambia, next to the mighty Zambezi River. This was the second visit by CEO Phil Hawkins and Early Years Consultant Rachael Bannister as they continue to help build the capacity of the leadership team to improve the quality of education offered to the 600 children from very disadvantaged backgrounds. Using their model of development based on 10 years of research, Phil spent the week with the leadership team, led by newly appointed head teacher Mr Matengu Happy Kalaluka. Phil also led workshops on good teaching practice with their 8 teachers, completing phase one of the Aprender training. Rachael directed her attention and training to the new team of preschool teachers. Zambia’s government have decreed that all primary schools should have a preschool class by the end of the year. Aprender have the vision that the preschool that will operate in this school will be the best in the country and will go on to lead training in other schools around the country. That would be amazing!
Our very own Dawnay School kindly donated reading books to take with them to donate to the school. One of the highlights of the visit was the moment that the children were given their books – for many the first time they had ever been given a book! Can you imagine?! Their delight was palpable. Aprender (and the school!) are very grateful to the staff at the Dawnay for their generous gift. They head to Zambia again at the end of March for

the next instalment. Phil says of Bookham “It’s such a welcoming community, it’s great to be part of it and know that so many local people are supporting us in so many ways!” If your child’s school have any good quality books they would like to donate, do get in touch at admin@ aprender.co.uk. Aprender always have a waiting list of schools that would like help to help themselves but they need more funding to make that happen. If you or your child’s school would like to donate to Aprender, please visit the website at www.aprender.co.uk or get in touch through our email address.

HAPPY
Retirement! About 30 years ago Keith Weston joined Rawlings and Kensett butchers in Bookham High Street, and liked it so much he bought the business!! During his time the business came under many pressures: the expansion of the supermarkets, Mad Cow Disease that caused the European Union to ban the sale of beef on the bone, the unpopular (at the time) metrication that was to replaced imperial measures of pounds and ounces, although in practice the metric system rounded the weights up a little so customers in fact bought more! Foot and Mouth disease. The fuel tanker drivers strike resulting in an acute shortage of fuel, making it difficult for movement of stock and to travel to Smithfield. Closer to home one customer was so keen to get into the shop that they drove their car straight through the front of the shop one Friday afternoon, but it was business as usual by the following Monday morning, despite the rubble and the inconveniences to staff and customers. He has survived through thick and thin and served the people of Bookham with a big smile on his face, a kind word and his heart on his sleeve. We are pleased to report that Rawlings and Kensett will continue under the new ownership of Robert Punter. We wish Robert and his team every success. And now to David Fuller. Established in 1966/67 David Fuller in Church Road has been a family business throughout, ably assisted by Chris Quarton and Pat Sandy. They have stocked a
range of high-quality clothes for men from the world’s leading suppliers. In 1998 David expanded into Extra Large Sizes, in addition to catering for regular sizes. With the introduction of this new range, David Fuller’s went from strength to strength. Customers travelled from long distances to visit this rather special shop and the added bonus has been that many new people from outside of the area have been introduced to the delights of the Bookhams. A destination shop that has no doubt benefitted all the businesses in Bookham. A quieter character than Keith, but like him, David has also gone out of his way to ensure his customers and fellow business colleagues have been supported throughout his tenure. In later years he was treasurer for the Bookham Retail & Business Association, ensuring all the monies in and out were accounted for. He even managed to balance the Christmas tree monies. A feat in itself!! Sadly, David Fuller’s closed it’s doors last Autumn for the last time. A great loss to our village. On cold evening in January, local businesses came together to wish them both a warm farewell, celebrate their contribution to our wonderful community and wish them well for their retirement. We were especially delighted that Maggie, David Fuller’ wife was able to join us. There is no doubt that David and Keith will be missed. They have served our community well. Between them they have over 80 years of service in Bookham. Retirement is well deserved.

When was the last time you had a bra fitting... or perhaps you’ve never had one? Lingerie is the foundation of any outfit, yet it is well known that 85% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. A perfectly fitted bra can alleviate health problems, accentuate your waist and even make you drop a dress size! It will not only change the way you look, we guarantee it will make you feel amazing too. Victoria’s Little Bra Shop in the heart of Dorking, Surrey (est. for 6 years) is the go-to place for all your lingerie, swimwear and nightwear needs. Run by mother and daughter, the duo recently won the prestigious award of Best Boutique Style Lingerie Shop 2019 in the UK. Established in 2013, Vanessa and Victoria attribute their growing success to their professional, friendly and
caring approach. Fiona, from Hello Dorking, visited the boutique for a fitting in their upstairs boudoir: “This beautiful award winning boutique, really is very special. The stylish shop feels like a bedroom with well coordinated decor, big beautiful mirrors, vintage wardrobes and velvet curtain changing rooms. As I try on a few lovely bit and pieces, we discuss the world of women’s lingerie. We agree that underwear should feel like a second skin and make us feel really confident and content with our body shapes. It is great to have such an amazing shop on Dorking High Street where we know that we’re getting the very best care and attention.” If you would like to be fitted, please don’t be anxious but pop in to see the girls, no appointment necessary, and they will be delighted to meet you with a warm welcome guaranteed.

South Bookham SPACE
SOCIAL SPACE is NOW OPEN!
First we had SPACE, then we had OUTER SPACE!! Now we have SOCIAL SPACE. This fabulous facility we have in Bookham just keeps going from strength to strength. Look Local went along recently to the official launch. The driving force behind it, Trevor Goul-Wheeker officially opened the new area and took the chance to thank all the people involved; planners, fundraisers, suppliers, promotors and cheerleaders alike. All local and all passionate about our lovely community. Too many to mention them all but here are a few; Architect Darryl Saunders, Benchmarx & Rohallion for providing the kitchen & security systems at cost. The London Marathon Charitable Trust, Mole Valley District Council, The Thomas Flack Trust Fund, Bookham Tennis Club, The Garfield Weston Foundation, BRA and Bookham and Horsley Rotary Club for their generous support without which SOCIAL SPACE would not have been possible. Bookham Tennis Club who raised a whopping £8,000. In addition, the surplus operating funds of SPACE from over the years, that have been held in the reserves added an amazing £50,000. To Jeremy, Fred, David, Martin, Rob, Ray, Martin 2, Justin and others who all
20 Looklocal Magazine - March 2020
got down and dirty for this project. A final mention should go to Trevor’s wife Francoise, who by his own admission has shared her husband with the third person in their marriage for the last two years!! Run by volunteers, all the SPACEs offer modern affordable venue hire, but ultimately, the future success of SPACE will depend on the people that use it and further extend the tremendous range of activities available in SPACE, Outer SPACE and now Social SPACE for local people of all ages and abilities; Social SPACE is large enough for social events of up to 20 people, seated meetings of 12 and small Pilates or Yoga style classes. It has its own kitchen, and a balcony overlooking the Outer SPACE multi-use games area and the Bookham Tennis Club courts. There is also stair-lift access and an audio loop, plus a Smartboard and projector making it ideal for coaching and education. A massive well done to you all. A great SPACE for Bookham and it’s neighbouring communities, for generations to come. For more information visit www.southbookhamspace.org.uk

EDUCATION BRA RECOMMENDS CHANGE TO HOWARD OF EFFINGHAM (HOE)
ADMISSIONS CRITERIA SEPTEMBER 2021 CONSULATION David Cox In accordance with requirements, the HoE consulted on the Criteria for Admissions for 2021 to which the has BRA responded. These concerns centre around the capacity at the HoE during the period prior to additional places coming on stream with the new school. The recommendations were in two areas, as follows: 1) Tie Break Within Catchment Nearest Alternative School (NAS) (regardless if places available) i.e. Therfield k/a NAS tie break.
Recommendation: Change to those closest to the school having priority. BRA commented: “As most of our residents’ school journeys are by foot or bicycle, we continue to have concerns about the use of the NAS tie break on procedural fairness, clarity and ethical grounds. Since this unusual tie break was introduced by two Surrey schools, many new parents are confused by it and even the admissions experts at Surrey CC have made administrative errors in applying the NAS tie break. Furthermore, the areas of the catchment
that are favoured by the NAS tie break have had two new secondary schools open in addition to their existing two secondary schools that are marginally further away than The Howard... With Climate Change declared an emergency at all levels of governance, and the importance of reducing carbon emissions now widely accepted, there is no justification for the continued operation of the NAS tie break. In contrast, the area of the catchment that is disadvantaged by the current NAS tie break (i.e. the eastern end near Eastwick School) has only one alternative school nearby and the actual journeys to it are substantially longer than journeys to the HoE. The vast majority of children who will be displaced by NAS will have no alternative but to rely on vehicular transport. Applying the NAS tie break means that children whose school journeys are currently carbon neutral would become carbon positive if they had to travel to any other school. Given these changes in circumstance since the NAS Tie Break was introduced, we recommend that the Tie Break is changed to give priority to those closest to the school.” 2) Catchment area
Recommendation: Review outer edges of North & North West of the catchment. BRA commented: Since the last Admissions consultation, there have been changes around the edges of the catchment area that mean a revision to the catchment area itself is needed to ensure “procedural fairness”. With the introduction of new primary and secondary school provision, the catchment area needs to be contracted so that children who already have an enhanced priority at their closest secondary school
Keep in contact at bookhamresidents.org.uk or Tele: 0300 030 9890 cannot be prioritised over children for whom the Howard is their closest school. It is not procedurally fair to force children in some parts of the catchment into the “all other applicant” category of their Nearest Alternative School by giving a higher priority to other homes in the catchment for whom the Howard is not the closest school.” The BRA Education team will be monitoring HoE Admissions Criteria consultation and will report back in due course.

match the black and gold litter bins was ordered. As luck would have it, the bins were changed to green and gold and when the planter eventually arrived it was white! As there was now no possibility of matching anything, we’ve allowed it to stay. Chandlers Building Supplies very kindly moved the planter off the pallet and The Vineries have subsequently planted it up. We now have plants at either end of Bookham’s shopping area helping to enhance the village shopping experience.
DO YOU WOMBLE? Margaret Lawson Litter Pick Co-ordinator On the first Sunday of each month members of the BRA and volunteers meet at 11.00 am 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 Lawson our Litter Pick Co-ordinator either via our message line 0300 030 9890 or via the BRA web site.

The BRA continues to try and resolve the villages’ many historical drainage problems through the Bookham Flood Forum (BFF), where they meet with SCC Highways (SCC), Thames Water (TW), and Mole Valley District Council (MVDC). The last BFF meeting was held on 6th January 2020.The next will be on 6th April 2020.
Bookhams Residents’ Association Newsletter: March 2020 The main drainage problem in the middle of the village remains the Lower Road between East Street and The Squareabout. Further investigations were carried out in November 2019 by SCC, who are currently analysing the information gathered and identifying feasible solutions. The results will be will be reported to the BFF in April. With regard to the critical state of the foul and surface water drains in the west of the village, notably in Water Lane and Little Bookham Street, BRA continue to make representations to Guildford Borough Council and Thames Water with regard to the future routing of drainage from the new Howard of Effingham School and 300 plus houses proposed for the Effingham Lodge Farm site, to try and ensure that any outfall is not directed towards Bookham. In addition, with the issue of the draft MVDC draft Local Plan and major proposed developments in the west of the village at Preston Farm and Bookham Fields, BRA will be making their concerns with regard to drainage known to MVDC and Thames Water. Highways Under SCC’s Project Horizon the reconstruction/resurfacing of Eastwick Drive is still scheduled to be carried out by April. Most of SCC's highway works come under their Integrated Transport Schemes (ITS) programme. This Financial Year a scheme has been included to improve pedestrian movements at the junction of Lower Road with Rectory Lane and Little Bookham Street. The scheme will provide for the removal of the existing speed bump on Lower Road west of the junction and construction of a raised table on the eastern arm of this junction, nearer to the mini roundabout at the end of the north side footway. This will make it safer for www.bookhamresidents.org.uk
pedestrians from LBS going towards The HoE school and Effingham. The BRA will continue to press SCC for the need to improve Rectory Lane, to provide a footway on the east side of the road from The Grange south to the A246 and widening of the carriageway to a consistent width. However implementation is dependent on land being acquired from the fields east of the road, as well as a funding becoming available for construction. In the meantime discussions have been held with SCC and The Grange to improve safety at the crossing of Rectory Lane immediately north of The Grange entrance where the public footpath from Effingham to Bookham crosses. Funds for a study are being sought. About The Bookhams Residents’ Association (BRA).

THE LEATHERHEAD & DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY
CATHY BRETT: TALE OF TEENAGE PEN PALS The first lecture of 2020 was given by local resident, the author and illustrator Cathy Brett, who told a tale of teenage pen pals. One was her grandmother, Agnes Bentley of Dundee. Cathy inherited her photographic archive and diaries when she died in 2001. Fifteen years later she discovered seven tiny snaps showing Agnes’s teenage pen pal friendship with Mary Anne MacLeod
Agnes
Mary Anne
from the Isle of Lewis who would later give birth to no other than US presidential candidate Donald Trump! Cathy posted the pictures on FaceBook. Journalist Torcuil Crichton was working in London as correspondent for Scottish newspapers. Cathy met him and in August 2016 his article about the pen pals appeared in the Daily Record. Back in 1926, Agnes, age 14, had won a painting competition and appeared in the Dundee Courier. She had received a letter from a Mary Ann MacLeod, also 14, of Tong, near Stornoway who suggested they become pen pals. They started exchanging photos. Mary Ann’s father was the village postmaster and most of Lewis consisted of crofts
36 Looklocal Magazine - March 2020
and poor fishing villages. In Dundee, Agnes lived with her parents in a poor tenement but was bright and secured a high school scholarship. Mary Ann wrote, complaining of loneliness when all of her nine siblings emigrated. In early 1930 she wrote to Agnes saying she was also leaving to join her sister in New York. Age 17, the two girls met for the first time in Glasgow before Mary Ann sailed off to America. Agnes was then at St Andrews University. They continued to write and exchange photos and gifts even after Agnes won a scholarship to a German university. In 1933, she moved there but met Mary Ann in Glasgow a second time the following summer as both girls prepared to settle abroad. They spent the day shopping and Mary Ann bought a gift for her new boyfriend, Fred Trump. They parted and would not meet again for over 60 years as the letters stopped during World War 2. Agnes married a student in Germany, had two children and remained there until the war ended. She then returned to Britain, remarried and settled in London. Mary Ann meanwhile married Fred and gave birth to Donald. In 1995, Agnes spotted Mary Ann in a late night TV programme showing her living in Trump Tower, New York. She wrote to her old friend, got a swift reply and met Mary Ann at London’s Dorchester Hotel. Their third and last meeting. Neither lived to see Donald Trump become US President.

NEED A NEW MACHINE?
What to look for when buying a Computer As Windows 7 has now come to the end of the line, you may be looking for a suitable replacement. We provide new and used Windows and Mac based solutions. When buying a Computer or Laptop there is a whole heap of jargon that people throw at you with an expectation that you should know what they are taking about - SSD’s, Ram, MHz, Wifi, HDMI and so it goes on. We have always felt this a very rude way to treat your fellow man, so yes, we can talk jargon with you but we can also talk in finest English to ensure your needs are best met. Initially, we will discuss with you what your needs are and what you want to do with the computer, and if there are any things you would like to do but are currently unable to like photo editing or creating that family video you have been promising. Here are a few pointers that you might appreciate knowing about, before you buy your new machine. The key componentsThe Processor or the CPU is the engine that powers the PC. It is advisable to buy the best that you can, as CPU’s are costly items and are not efficient to change or upgrade at a later stage. If your needs are for basic Word processing and Excel type work, plus some Internet browsing and email handling, a basic Intel, Core i3 CPU or AMD Ryzen 3 CPU would represent a good choice. If you are looking for something a bit more capable, a good all round home machine, we would usually advise either an Intel Core i5, i7 or i9 CPU. Being still more powerful, reflecting a similar numbering scale, Ryzen 5, 7 and 9, with the 7 and 9’s often reserved for more intensive power hungry activities like Virtual reality, Graphics or game play. There are model variations with in these CPU’s - but let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Memory or Ram - The more the better, but this can usually be retro fitted. 4Gb of Ram is considered the bare minimum, going beyond 8Gb is often unnecessary for everyday use. The latest, fastest DDR4 memory is today’s standard fit and moves the performance of the machine on significantly, when compared to its earlier
counterparts, and will offer solid performance for years to come. Hard drives - TThe conventional mechanical hard drives have been using the same technology for around 20 years. They are very economic, have huge storage capacity but can be slow. Upgrade to a Solid State Hard Drive (SSD) and the performance is phenomenal. They work at 1520 times faster than the mechanical drives, they are more reliable (as they have no moving parts), but they cost more and have less storage capacity than the older type hard drives. If you need to store loads of data, a great solution is to have both in a machine. The SSD runs the Operating System and Programs and the mechanical drive stores your data. Graphics cards - Game players, photo and video editors and graphics users are better served by having a dedicated graphics card installed, in some cases the graphics card can cost as much as the computer. In most cases, using the onboard graphics is sufficient and should you wish to upgrade the graphics this can sometimes be retrospectively added into a PC, but unfortunately rarely on in a laptop. Operating System - Windows is the dominant system here, with Windows 10 being the preferred choice, as it works in a very efficient manner and is the industry dominant product. Unlike earlier versions Microsoft have stated that Windows 10 will be the operating system of the future, with the program being revised via updates rather than a distinctly separate new version. To date, we are on the 9th major version with a new edition being scheduled for the first half of 2020…. and yes, the updates are free of charge. Should you be using a version of Office, we would urge you to buy a new version of Office, if your current version is earlier than Office 2016, as Office 2013, 2010 and earlier have all come to the end of their mainstream support. Many customers think that the only way to purchase the new version is via an annual rental scheme, but this is not the case. We have the perpetual version for sale, and usually this provides a more economic solution.

Bookham Wine Club
Wines from the Languedoc - from plonk to perfection … On Monday, March 09, Pippa Hayward makes a welcome return to Bookham Wine Club, when members will enjoy her selection of wines from the Languedoc region of France. In the bad old days Languedoc was dominated by co-operatives (often badly run) and cheap wine factories producing indifferent wine; but in recent years the situation has changed dramatically. The Languedoc has been the single most responsive region to EU inducements to overhaul its viniculture, and with the arrival of a new wave of energetic and passionate ‘first generation’ wine producers, the region now offers an increasingly sophisticated range of superior and delicious whites

Two years ago I was invited along to the inaugural meeting of the newly formed Bookham Bees WI. Established to fulfil the demand for a new WI within the vicinity of Bookham. I liked it so much I joined! My Mum still can’t believe I did! I’m not her idea of a typical WI member! Not a jam and Jerusalem sort of person, more a Gin and Tonic to be fair! Well, here I am 2 years later. Still a member and loving it. Why? I have made some new friends, real friends, not just friendly acquaintances. People, who I know, in time of need, wouldn’t hesitate to help. And have! But that’s not the only reason. It opens up the opportunity to learn about or be involved in things I wouldn’t normally try. This group, like all WI’s has a regular monthly meeting. We have regular speakers, who are always interesting, plus a whole array of sub groups and activities outside of the main meeting that anyone can be involved in. There is a gardening group that visit interesting gardens, hold plant swap days at members homes and so forth. The Theatre Group arranges theatre and film trips, with some amazing

and reds, at remarkably attractive prices. If you would like to join us to hear Pippa tell the full story, get the ‘inside track’ on what wines to buy, and what to avoid; and discover how little you can pay to buy the best wines - and taste six of her carefully chosen wines, you will be made most welcome. Simply contact membership@ bookhamwineclub.org.uk. Our friendly wine tastings and presentations are held on the second Monday of each month in the Harrison Room at the rear of the Old Barn Hall … details of the Club’s activities, including the programme of wine tastings for 2020 can be found on our website: www.bookhamwineclub.org.uk.

“behind the scene” outings that you wouldn’t normally be able to access, such as the Globe Theatre. We have pub nights, craft evenings, morning coffee meet ups to name a few. We also have a Walkie Talkie group. What started as one morning a week, is now three. A brisk, 40 minute walk and talk, rain or shine on Bookham Common at 8am, so people like me can go and still get to work. Sometimes there are 10 or 11 of us, sometimes 4 or 5, and sometimes 2, but there is always someone and I never walk alone. That’s probably the greatest underlying principle of our group (we should adopt the song). Whoever you are, whatever your age, whatever your interests, whatever time you have, be it a lot, or very little, there is always someone or something for everyone, and rest assured you will NEVER walk alone.

Do You Enjoy Getting Lost In A Book But Can’t Get To A Library? There are few things that compare to the joy of getting lost in a really good book, or chatting about what you have just read. But what if age, ill health, mobility problems or caring responsibilities make it difficult for you to get to a library? Library Direct can help. Surrey Libraries and its dedicated volunteers work hard to make sure the library service can reach everyone, by allowing individuals to once again select their own books, and have volunteers deliver them right to their door. It is a free service for those who struggle to access their Surrey Library and comes with additional benefits such as extended loan periods and no overdue charges or fines. This offer also extends to audiobooks and large print books. All that clients need to do is let their volunteer know what they would like to borrow and then sit back, relax and wait for the books to be brought to them. In addition to having complete access to library stock, this services also helps to combat isolation by providing companionship. Volunteers will often stop for a drink and chat, and in many cases, form friendships with the people they are visiting. The service has helped change the lives of countless individuals. One Library Direct client says, “I can’t get out very much so the service is invaluable to me.” Another says, “I have always been a great reader so I am grateful to still have access to books.” As well as supporting individuals in their homes, we offer an opportunity for a variety of ‘community settings’ such as care homes, nursing homes, long term in-patient wards and rehabilitation centre, to provide a library service to their residents. This works with the setting choosing a variety of books online and then collecting them from an agreed Surrey library. We currently have volunteers looking for more clients in the Mole Valley area! If you think Library Direct is suitable for you or someone you know, you can now register for the service online. To register for Library Direct, or for more information, visit our webpage www.surreycc.gov.uk. Alternatively, you can call 01483 543 599 or email libraries@surreycc.gov.uk.

Gardening Matters COMPOSTING
Recently, I provided several sacks of lovely home-made compost to someone on Freecycle, which handily gave me an idea for this month’s article, hooray. So, composting. There is absolutely no secret to good compost but it must heat up to work properly: one of the main reasons why compost-making fails is lack of heat which it won’t get from a tiddly little heap. You can buy selfassembly wooden bins, or indeed you can make your own with fence posts and wooden planks for the sides, but aim for a cubic metre as a rule of thumb. You can go bigger if you like but not higher because in wooden bins, compost needs to be layered. Choose a level area for your bin and put a layer of coarse material, not too woody, at the bottom for drainage. Spread about 6 ins of well-mixed garden waste over that, then dampen it, as this aids the rotting process. Keep layering up the heap, putting a few spadefuls of soil on top of each new layer to act as a starter, remembering to water the heap if it looks dry. Cover it each time with an old piece of carpet to retain moisture and heat. When it reaches 1 metre in height, finish with a layer of soil, cover and leave for 6 months. If you make your heap in spring, the heat of summer will rot it down more quickly than if it’s started in autumn.

Much less labour-intensive – and the method I use because I’m lazy – are the black domed compost bins provided by the council for a small fee. They also need to be on level ground but don’t need layering: just bung stuff in, mix it up and dampen it if it’s dry. You needn’t add soil if there’s some on the roots of your garden waste but do mix it up from time to time and add a bit of water….the contents of a vase of flowers is perfect. Fill it to the top, making sure you put the lid on to keep the heat in. Simples. What to put in? Annual weeds, old bedding plants and flowers, veg peelings, dead leaves, soft prunings and shredded woody stems, egg shells and boxes, teabags, shredded junk mail (so satisfying) and paper, cotton and wool fabrics. Don’t add cooked food, meat, bones or bread - they attract vermin - or anything too woody, diseased or with seed heads, perennial weeds, dog and cat waste (although guinea pig/rabbit waste is fine). Why does compost fail sometimes? Firstly, too big a pile of lawn mowings makes compost slimy and smelly unless you layer it with other garden waste. Secondly, if it’s slow to rot, maybe the material is too woody or the stalks too thick. Cut everything up small or do as I did and buy a shredder which is soooooooo much fun to use. Lastly, it needs to be damp and warm at all times.

Vauxhall CORSA CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY
In the helter-skelter, bumper-to bumper jam-packed daily journeys you just have to make so uncomfortably to and from the office in the city, London or elsewhere, the dire need for some aid and ease on the wallet is crucial. And that’s where Vauxhall come into play. The just released fifth generation all new five-door Corsa city car is weeny and stylish, fun to drive and a welcome relief from the worrying demands on the pocket as well as being pretty good looking, a stand-out among the over-populated mini car masses in what is a hotly contested market. In short : it is a new dawning...Even for the leggy likes of six-footer me the cute Corsa is a comfy advantage, lighter, quicker, economical and not so much a handful as many of its rivals. Safety-first is a Vauxhall essential. And that’s why they have fitted as standard a forward collision alert and adaptive headlights. And that’s not the lone benefit the forward planning technical backroom boys in their think tank have programmed into the newcomer’s welcome new dawning. The interior has been totally redesigned to offer a sportier driving position and with a bit more space for passengers and their luggage. And that means it is a fair match for its principal rivals, the Ford Fiestas and VW Polos. Initially, as intros to the updated, uprated range of
52 Looklocal Magazine - March 2020
Corsas there is a 74bhp, 1.2litre three cylinder petrol engined version and a turbo-charged 1.2 boosting it 99bhp plus a 99 bhp 1.5 litre diesel. In every one of them the cabin benefits in the newcomer have been boosted with a more intuitive touchscreen, a sportier driving position and a sooper-dooper infotainment set-up. Overall you get the feeling the innards have been solidly constructed. All in all this petite hatchback shapes up as the heralding of a value for money mode of transport to keep you cool, calm and collected in the frustratingly irritating daily commuting crawls into the city. And every Corsa is now fitted with alloy wheels as standard helping to lighten the car’s weight. For my money the pick of the range is the turbocharged 1.2-litre three cylinder petrol user giving you 99bhp. It is perky and responsive and with enough boost to keep you in the melee whether at snail-pace in town or needing to overtake on the motorways. Only time will tell whether or not the revamped debut challenger will shake up its well-established rivals. My bet is that it will... Specification: 1.2 100SE.

Whenever we are faced with a crisis in any area of life, reactions tend towards hype, then hysteria, with panic not far behind and all sense of perspective so easily gets lost. The undeniable trend to a warmer climate provides a clear example, with almost every weather event viewed with alarm. It sometimes seems that there is a belief that we never used to get ‘extreme’ weather. The link to extreme weather from a warming climate is at best tenuous. Floods have made the news this winter, but these are extremely common events in this country. Some of the worst include those of spring 1947 (when days of heavy rain following a snowy winter led to catastrophic floods over a wide area), September 1968, when older readers will no doubt recall the severe flooding from the River Mole following a weekend of torrential rain, and the very wet autumn of 2000 when large areas of the country were underwater for days. There are numerous only slightly less severe examples from earlier years. And we should remember that changes in land-use (including building on flood plains) are present-day factors - not to mention a media looking for every hint of such events when some earlier ones received little coverage.

Purse Theft NEIL CLARKE, 13362 CRIME REDUCTION ADVISOR EASTERN DIVISION
The theft of bags and purses and mobiles from unsuspecting people whilst shopping is an ongoing issue, which also affects residents of Mole Valley from time to time. The general presumption is that elderly ladies are the main targets for this type of crime. If this is your view you would be wrong - everyone is a potential target. As a resident of Mole Valley myself, I regularly do my shopping in local stores and shops and, wearing my Crime Reduction Advisor’s hat, have researched the risks that I have seen on a fairly regular basis. The following are just some of my observations, built up over the past month when I have been out shopping with my wife and seen for myself how easy it is for the would-be thief to get some easy pickings. A gentleman walking down the aisle in a supermarket with his wallet protruding from the back pocket of his trousers is an “easy picking” - even for a bad thief. Even better for a thief, if the gentleman also keeps his mobile in a back pocket!! Two mums engrossed in conversation, their babies playing happily. Both of the mums I saw had their bags perched on top of their trolleys - open and with purses on full view. Yet another easy target. If they must leave their bags in the shopping trolley, I just wish that they were zipped up or closed properly - perhaps with the chain from the trolley wrapped around the strap several times as this would make is very difficult to steal without being noticed. Then I see an elderly lady struggling to reach a box of washing powder on the top shelf, but can’t see her bag. Where is it? I offer my help and get the washing powder
56 Looklocal Magazine - March 2020
down for her from the shelf. I then see that she has her bag over her shoulder and close to her body with the clasp facing inwards. This is great to see as it would prove much too difficult for a thief to bother trying to steal, particularly when there are easier targets around. This got me imagining a scenario that could have occurred. One of the mums with her baby goes through the checkout with her shopping and finds that her bag has been stolen. Her purse was in the bag so she has no means to pay. She then goes to the car park to find that her car has been stolen, because the keys were in her bag. She’s carrying her baby, because the baby’s pushchair was in the car. She can’t call her friend to pick her up, because her mobile phone was in her bag and so was her address book. When she finally gets home, she can’t get in. Yes, you guessed it - her door keys were in her bag. I know that seems a bit extreme but it could be a possible outcome if a bag is stolen. Add to this the inconvenience of stopping bank cards, contacting insurance companies and changing door locks and you can then see the importance of looking after your personal belongings when out and about. I hope that this gives some of you food for thought? Email: Neil.Clarke@surrey.pnn.police.uk Telephone: 01483 630809 Call 101 for all non-emergency policing matters. Call 999 if you have a genuine emergency requiring the attendance of the police (e.g. a crime is in progress or someone is in immediate danger). Call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you have info about crime and don’t want to leave your name.
ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2019
CHRISTMAS CHARITY POST Thanks to all concerned As always my thanks goes to all concerned with the CCP, from the Committee, to the stamp sellers, both door to door and from shops, the leafleters, sorters and deliverers who turn out in all weathers. Once again we have maintained the policy since our start in 1984, of providing three deliveries during December. Our deliverers often have to contend with poor addressing of the cards but luckily they have an intimate knowledge of their areas and the people who live there and can get 99.9% of the cards delivered without problem.
What will the funds raised this year be used for? The Committee have agreed that this year £3000 will be distributed to three charities for their work in ongoing projects : • £1,000 to Practical Action for their ‘Turn the Tables’ project to provide pragmatic solutions to climate change in Sudan. Practical Action plans to work with farmers to rebuild dams, capture the rainfall and irrigate the soil. They will help villagers plant trees and grow community forests, see https://www. ukaidmatch.org/news/practical-action-looks-to-turn-the-tables-on-climatechange-in-sudan This project is being matched by the UK Government, thus £1000 becomes £2000. • £1000 to Rotary for their worldwide campaign to end polio, see https:// www.endpolio.org. Money donated will be tripled by the Gates Foundation, thus £1000 becomes £3000. • £1000 to the YMCA in Jordan for their work with Syrian refugees in Jordan. Dental care is restricted for the refugee families from Syria and Iraq and a portable dental unit, which does not need electricity, has been purchased. This is aimed at treatment for children in an area where there are many refugee families. Thus the £3000 being distributed will actually have a final value, with matching, of £6000, a truly wonderful amount.
Keep up the good work The CCP Team are a very dedicated group who keep raising significant funds for people living in developing countries who are unable to work their way out of poverty without being given a helping hand. Their continued efforts help them to do just that. However, without the residents of Bookham, Fetcham and Effingham buying stamps, we would achieve nothing. So please go on buying stamps next year. One last thought. The Committee and their helpers are all getting older and could do with some young blood. If you know of any of your younger neighbours who might be able to help, please try and enlist their help for next year.

BOOKHAM LIBRARY
Thursday 5 March 2020 is World Book Day. This is an annual celebration of authors, illustrators, books and reading. Organised by the Literacy Trust, it encourages reading for all. During World Book Day week, come into Bookham Library and take part in our Children’s trail. “Wally” the popular children’s book character from “Where’s Wally” will be hidden around the library for you to find! Also children who visit us on Thursday 5 March dressed as a book character will receive a small prize. Look out in April for our World Book night (23 April) event for adults - more details to follow. We are keen to welcome people to our new Reading Groups to meet at the library during the day, so do get in touch if you are interested in joining a library based group.
