A 980 mile bike ride for Prostate Cancer UK
At 6.30am on 7th September, Mike Exworthy and 18 colleagues set off from Lands End on a 980 mile journey. Averaging over 100 miles a day, over 12 hours a day, they made their way across England and up into Scotland. Enduring wild wind, pouring rain, broken bikes, exhaustion, and plenty of self doubt along the way, they cycled as high as seven and a half thousand feet at times. On some days Mike found that he was in so much pain that he felt quite ill, but these were hurdles he had to overcome. For nine days they cycled and finally they arrived in John O’Groats. What an achievement. Mike tells us why he embarked on this difficult but epic trip … ‘There are some things that you really don’t want to ever hear, especially from your nearest and dearest. Unfortunately, two years ago, my Dad told me that he
22 Looklocal Magazine - November 2019
had cancer and in that moment my world turned upside down. My mind raced and I could think of only one thing; losing my Dad to this horrible disease. It took me quite a few days to get over the initial shock and then I wanted to find out everything I could about prostate cancer. This was when I had my first encounter with Prostate Cancer UK. I spent hours researching and reading through their website trying to understand everything about this disease; the treatments, expected recovery time, I read it all. Over the next 9 months, Dad’s treatment came thick and fast. First, the operation to remove the growth then the chemotherapy, and finally the radiotherapy. Dad always remained so positive, and as a result, I felt sure that he was going to get through this huge ordeal. His go to phrase, which always brought a smile to my face, was
LAND’S END TO JOHN O’ GROATS
“it’s only a pain in the arse”! I work for Camelot and one day at work I heard that the company was looking for volunteers to take part in a charity cycle ride. It sounded like fun and I like cycling, so without really knowing any of the details, I signed up. It wasn’t until a few weeks had passed that I realised exactly what I’d signed up for! The Deloitte Ride Across Britain. A 980 mile bike ride from Land’s End to John O’Groats, over 9 days, and climbing the equivalent height of one and a half times Mount Everest in the process. It seemed this would be my very own pain in the arse! But what a fantastic opportunity to raise money for the charity that had helped my Dad. Prostate Cancer UK had been amazing in supporting both Dad and my whole family throughout his treatment; it was my
way to say thank you. This epic journey wasn’t about me though. Prostate Cancer UK are the real heroes in all of this and I cannot thank them enough for the ground breaking work they continue to do. The research and raising awareness, and the support they provide to families like ours. In June, Dad got the news we’d all been waiting for. He got the all clear and I cannot begin to express the relief that we all felt. He had done it. He’d kicked cancer in the backside. Prostate Cancer UK saved my dad’s life and I’m so proud to say that our ride raised over £3,000 for them.’ If you’d like to make a donation to my Just Giving page, it can be found here - https://www.justgiving. com/fundraising/michael-exworthy Mike Exworthy

THE BOOKHAMS’ RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION
Mole Valley District Council
LOCAL PLAN
TIMETABLE UPDATE The MVDC Local Plan was due for public discussion by early summer but was delayed as there was a change of the political makeup of the Council with the Liberal Democrats taking control. A new date for October was agreed and this too has been put back because an election could occur in the middle of the Consultation process. The consultation date is now scheduled for 3rd February to 16th March 2020. Why does this matter? MVDC must be able to demonstrate they have a land supply for five years to build the number of houses each year required by the current plan. This they do not have, with just over two years land supply available. The impact means that developers can come forward seeking permission to build and may succeed where previously their claims would have failed. As with many planning applications, approval or non-approval is determined by a variety of planning regulations. Without a five-year land supply, Government has told Councils that any balance
28 Looklocal Magazine - November 2019
between approval or rejection should be “tilted” in favour of the developer. This is because Government want new housing stock to go ahead rapidly. Just last week the BRA attended an Appeal against a MVDC rejection of building approval when this argument was deployed. We now wait for the Planning Inspector’s decision to see the impact of this “tilting” argument. As we anticipate that when the MVDC Local Plan is published a significant percentage of the 2000 or more dwellings that MVDC say will have go on green belt land will be built in Bookham. There is concern that without a plan, proposals will come forward from developers before this plan is agreed. Because of this we have expressed our disappointment over the delays in publishing the Local Plan through our Councillors. Regular updates to the Local Plan are posted on our website: www.bookhamresidents.org.uk Peter Seaward - BRA Chairman

THE LEATHERHEAD & DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY
WHEN REGULAR BATHING RETURNED AFTER A 1400-YEAR GAP The Romans had a sophisticated system for bathing but it disappeared for well over 1000 years after they left Britain, Ian Betts, Museum of London archaeology expert, told an audience at the Letherhead Institute in September. Opening the new season of monthly lectures to the Leatherhead & District Local History Society, he explained that in Roman times, oil was applied to the skin and bathers went into hot and cold plunge pools to make them sweat before they were massaged. However, public baths were abandoned in the 5th century and the Anglo-Saxons who then occupied most of Britain only bathed in rivers, if at all. Queen Elizabeth I famously had a bath once a year, ‘whether she needed it or not’ in the 16th century. But by the Georgian era 150 years later, advances in ceramics and the delivery of cleaner water allowed the better-off classes to be more fastidious in bathing. The first modern baths were found in country houses such as at Carshalton and Claremont. Some had a single pool, others both hot and cold. In London, commercial bagnios, as they were known, were established around Covent Garden. They were aimed at the rich, with fine furnishings, high-quality tableware and steep prices. Many were actually just fronts for
30 Looklocal Magazine - November 2019
brothels but others promoted a more respectable image, with men and women admitted on different days and some catered for a whole family and servants. Spa towns developed separately. These involved drinking health-giving water as well as bathing in it. Bath, with its natural hot springs and rediscovered Roman bath, was an early example, followed by Harrogate, Leamington, Cheltenham and locally Epsom. The spa experience also involved eating, drinking and gambling. Sea bathing later became fashionable with the coming of the railways. The 19th century bought high-pressure steamdriven pumps and iron pipes to stand the resulting loads of water, and local authorities were empowered to supply all homes. Councils built public baths, wash-houses for clothes, and later swimming pools. Urban lower classes could keep themselves clean for the first time. The monthly lectures start at 8pm with drinks and refreshments served from 7.30pm. Entrance is just £2.

Former Chelsea footballer Dennis Wise boots local charity a big new bus
Photo: Dennis Wise presents a brand new 17-seater minibus to residents at The Grange at Bookham centre for people with learning disabilities
Bookham, 11 October 2019: People with learning disabilities at The Grange can now get out and about more thanks to a new mini bus donated by the Dennis Wise in the Community charity - including to local football matches. ‘When we asked people at The Grange what they would most like to see here in future, one of the requests was for a bus,’ says Grange Chief Executive, Eloise Appleby. ‘I can’t quite believe that the Dennis Wise in the Community charity has now granted this wish. We are enormously grateful to him and his fellow trustees.’ ‘Our donation to The Grange will be the 22nd minibus to be donated,’ says Dennis Wise. ‘We are very lucky to have worked with wonderful charities over the years as well as having some amazing supporters.’ One of the first trips will be to Dorking Wanderers Football Club for which The Grange holds several season tickets kindly donated by the club.
32 Looklocal Magazine - November 2019
‘Adults with learning disabilities generally don’t drive and are on restricted budgets,’ says Eloise Appleby. ‘This gift will open the door to new possibilities, enabling us to arrange more trips, holidays and activities and to provide affordable transport for those who find it difficult to access our services, including a planned Grange Exchange with a similar charity in France next year.’ The minibus was donated and presented by Dennis Wise in the Community with the support of Inland Homes and Stonegate Homes. The organisation aims to donate 100 minibuses to charities, schools and organisations. Any charities, schools and organisations who would benefit from a minibus are encouraged to email Dennis Wise in the Community for an application from. Anyone who wishes to make a donation to the charity please do contact us. Email: admin@dwcommunity.co.uk

We couldn’t manage without them. Set up in 2015, Norbury Park Volunteer Group have been fundamental in helping us care for the reserve. Richard joined the group about 3 years ago and wished he’d heard about it earlier. “Meeting on the 3rd Friday of every month is always a day I look forward to. We’re a mixed bunch, mostly retired, fairly active people. Always a good laugh, very friendly, it’s very satisfying to be out in the fresh air feeling you’re doing something useful with a nice bunch of people. There is no pressure and everyone is encouraged to only do what they can and want to... I love it!” Jane hasn’t looked back since discovering Surrey Wildlife Trust volunteer days: “I had some time on my hands and wanted to do something to care for the county and its wildlife. Little did I know just how much I would enjoy the experience and how much I would learn. Volunteering is now part of my regular routine.” Peter finds it rewarding knowing he is “helping to reverse
40 Looklocal Magazine - November 2019
the decline in butterfly, insect and bird populations which has been in the news lately. The activities are a suitable mix for all ages and abilities, tools are provided and the day is led by an experienced SWT staff member. Our group meets at an easy-to-find location and you’ll get to hear of other weekly activity days managed by the Trust as well. New volunteers are always welcome to join our friendly team!” Claire Courtier, Community Engagement Manager at Surrey Wildlife Trust, explained: “We are so grateful to our wonderful volunteers. At the end of each volunteer day, there is a real buzz where everyone takes a few moments to look and see just how much they have achieved. Thank you to all our fantastic volunteers!” If you’d like to get stuck into to some outdoor conservation and spend the day in beautiful surroundings, then there has never been a better time to get involved. Whether you can spare a few hours or a full day, the Norbury Park group meets on 3rd Friday of each month. If you would like to become a volunteer and protect Surrey’s wildlife please register a www.surreywildlifetrust.org/ volunteering, email volunteers@surreywt.org.uk or call 01483 795464 Go wild this autumn & join a practical conservation day at Norbury: 15th Nov & 20th Dec, 10am - 3pm.

HOME WANTED! Georgie
Georgie is a pretty, gentle, grey & white long-haired female aged 10. She needs to be an indoor-only cat, in a quiet home, no other pets and with someone around for a good part of the day; ideally someone who is an experienced cat owner to help her gain in confidence and feel secure. She loves to be stroked and brushed – which is great because she needs to be brushed every day. She also enjoys playing with a fishing-rod type toy, with catnip toys and using a scratch post. She is in care because her owner was no longer able to take care of her. She has been checked by the vet and is now ready for homing If you feel you can give Georgie her well deserved forever home please call 0345 260 1387 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

POEM CORNER RAIN Young faces gaze upwards, laughing, Eager hands stretch out in glee, Then the rain falls gently down, And the pavements have spots And the puddles patterns, People scurry, raindrops hurry In races down the panes, Umbrellas sprout and snails come out, The grass is green, and for a while, The world is clean again. Gaunt faces gaze upwards, pleading, Thin arms are raised in hope, Then down it comes in torrents Coursing down ravaged cheeks Like streams of tears Quietening fears of immediate death. Alas, to-day’s joyful coming of the rains Is a future furious flood Causing havoc and destruction Till only the stench remains. We see your destructive beauty, We hear your drumming beat, And love the earthy sweet smell, Of damp leaves beneath our feet. Tour cooling fingers sooth our brain, God’s creatures become alive again, We marvel at your power As in awe we stand, For the gifts of Life and Death Are cradled in your hand.

LOOKING FOR
DOG
LOVERS!
I am looking to add to my existing team of genuine dog lovers who enjoy looking after dogs when their owners go on holiday. This does not have to be a full time commitment. Some of my carers only offer weekends or school holidays. You must be at home during the day with no more than 1 dog of your own & no children under 6 years of age & have your own secure garden. Ideal for someone working from home, a school teacher or administrator, house person or retired.

Mole Valley Runners recently organised their first community Plogging event in July and it was a very successful outing on the streets of Bookham. There were many volunteers attending and various members of their families, including children which is always great to see. Litter was collected as part of a fun run event from King George V fields, surrounding streets and on to Lower Road Rec. There was a great team spirit on the day with a strong purpose to clear the local streets and park of unwanted rubbish. You would not believe what can be found when you search far enough. Everybody who attended had great motivation and a common goal to clear rubbish in the local area as well as a run to help improve their overall fitness. In other news it has been a busy few months during the Summer for the Mole Valley Runners with various races completed including The Bacchus at Denbie’s Wine Estate which featured 12 of our runners dressed as vicars and nuns and the day catered for all types of runners over various distances so was fantastic. As the nights draw in we are insisting on head and waist torches being
46 Looklocal Magazine - November 2019
used as well as hi-vis clothing to stand out more in the dark. There are more classes being put on all the time as the numbers are growing steadily within the Group. We cater for all types of runners so please come along for one of these sessions and see how friendly and much fun running really is. We are currently focusing on the #RunandTalk program which encourages people to come and run or walk at least a mile and have a coffee or drink afterwards to discuss any issues they may have in confidence or via a run if it helps them. We have seen an expansion of the membership of late as we are a friendly accommodating group who love meeting new members and cover all distances of running from one mile right up to Marathon and beyond with a broad range of experience in these areas, it is great to see our members achieve their goals through their own focus and confidence as we encourage them how they can achieve these targets. Our Run Leaders are qualified and DBS checked. MVR is EA affiliated. We are on both Facebook and Instagram so please check us out and a web site http://www. molevalleyrunners.co.uk.
LEATHERHEAD LIONS
DONKEY DERBY 2019
Leatherhead and District Lions held their 6th successful Donkey Derby on Sunday 1st September at Polesden Lacey NT. Hosted by Lauren Milsom, Visitor Experience Manager. We are very fortunate to have access to such a great venue, right on our door step. There is free entry to the Historic House and Grounds on the day, together with free parking on site. I would encourage any Lions Club where a NT Property is close by, to explore the opportunities to work together for the benefit of the community. An estimated 6000 footfall is average attendance and we time the event to fall on the weekend just before the children go back to school, maximising the potential. Even the weather was kind to us! The event was opened this year by The Chairman, Mole Valley District Council, Councillor Mary Huggins and joined by our guest visitor David Butler OBE, District Governor 105SE. Lion President Geoff Underdown kicked off The Family Fun Day by thanking all our sponsors and supporters and encouraged all to have FUN and be GENEROUS! There was certainly something for everyone – young and old – from Donkey Races allowing a bet on the Tote, Donkey Rides, Steam Train Rides, Dog Show, Craft
Stalls, Children’s Fair, Bouncy Castles, Food Court, Bar and of course Ice Creams! We generally raise approx. £12,000.00 on the day (6 months’ work) and although the final accounts have not yet been completed my expectation is that we will do similar again this year.30% of profits is returned to Polesden Lacey, which is of course a charity and last year contributed to the refurbishment fund for the Steinway Piano. Our focus this year is to support Local Youth Projects as well as other needy causes in the community. The final satisfaction comes from the feedback from those attending: “We had a great day at Polesden Lacey. We’d been a few times before but this time we came because there was the bonus of the Leatherhead Lions event; it was the last weekend of our summer holidays and we wanted to see it off with something fun – and we certainly did! There was a great atmosphere with lots to see, and Lions members were very friendly. Highlights were the dog show and the donkey derby – oh, and winning the £100 prize! Thanks to the Leatherhead Lions for a super time – we look forward to returning next year!” Alex and Simon D. West London

THE LEATHERHEAD & DISTRICT TWINNING ASSOCIATION
The Friends of Triel have been busy in the last 6 months promoting our twinning with Triel-surSeine. One highpoint was a weekend exhibition in the Letherhead Institute when visitors were welcomed to Café Triel where they could relax with a cup of coffee or enjoy cheese and a glass of wine while learning more about our twin town. Our social life has included lunch and a guided tour around Wisley. Wisley is a great favourite with the Triellois when they visit us and next time we will be introducing them to Wisley’s very own teenage dinosaur! 14th July is the French National Day and we celebrated with our “Quatorze Juillet” Garden Party, enjoying a delicious lunch while listening to the jazz melodies of “Moodswing”, a local band who are keen to support our twinning. Our French twinning has led to friendship with the German town of Seligenstadt, a beautiful old town on the banks of the River Main. A group of
48 Looklocal Magazine - November 2019
us joined their 4 yearly Geleitsfest which celebrates their history with an extraordinary custom of drinking wine from gigantic spoons! We now have a regular French conversation afternoon, chatting in a relaxed way over tea and cakes. Hopefully our rusty French will improve! We are now taking bookings for our 2020 visit to Triel from 21st to the 24th May. The cost is only £210 to include executive coach travel, full board while staying with French families as well as visits we make to places of interest. We ensure that even if you speak no French you will be welcomed by English speaking hosts. We welcome families and anyone under 18 only pays £160. Please contact us if you are interested either via our website www.friendsoftriel.com where you will find membership and booking forms, or phone 01372 452845 for more information.

Gardening Matters ROSES
So……roses. If you’re to get the best out of them, you should know how to prune them, so here’s a gallop through, as it’s November. Pruning creates a better shape and an open centre for air to circulate, encouraging a healthier plant. Dead/ diseased/damaged/very old material is cut away, along with unnecessary parts, so that energy is concentrated on increasing flower production. Firstly, remove all suckers down to the ground. Then, remove all dead, diseased and very old wood. The removal of the latter will encourage new growth from the base. Next, remove crossing branches which can rub against others, causing wounds and encouraging disease. Then you can begin to shape the plant. Usually, roses are pruned down to 2-3 leaf buds. This sounds savage but I’ve rarely had casualties from this method. Choose an outward-facing bud to encourage a good shape, otherwise it will grow in and cross with other branches. Prune as close to a leaf bud as possible without nicking it with the secateurs and at a 45° angle to allow rain to fall off, reducing the risk of water-loving fungal diseases. Just to be awkward, different types of roses need slightly different treatment. With shrub and ground cover roses for the 1st few years, cut out old and weak growth after flowering (with shears for ground cover roses). Then, cut out ⅓ of the old wood to the ground each year.
Cecelia John: 01372 200 000

Climbers have 1 good-sized individual flower at the end of each shoot, with repeat flowering. After the 1st year, prune out the soft growth and the top of the branches to 2 buds in late autumn/early spring. The aim is to retain a permanent framework of branches, so train in new shoots horizontally, not simply to replace the older branches but because roses flower better horizontally. Prune back sideshoots to 6ins. or less, according to vigour. With an old established rose, start at the bottom, cutting out the 2 thickest, oldest stems. Prune the rest back as described. Ramblers have a mophead of individual single flowers in one flush. Prune all flowered shoots immediately after flowering in summer to a 2nd bud, take old wood out at the base, train in and tie up new shoots. Hybrid teas have one good-sized flower on each stem. Leave for 1 year, then cut back the old wood to 4ins. above ground level in early spring. To renovate, cut out the old wood to ground level. Floribundas have clusters of small flowers. Cut back to 6-8ins. in late winter/ early spring. The shape of the crown of standard roses should be maintained. Cut back to the 2nd bud of each flowering stem and give extra foliar feed because it has a long way to go down. Lastly, cut patio and miniature roses down to 2ins. in late winter/early spring each year. But don’t worry too much about the niceties, I regularly butcher roses and they always seem to come back, bless their little rosy hearts. Happy November.

FIAT PANDA CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY
Who could fail to love a Panda? No wonder they are so popular and stir such admiration and affection. They have a rare appeal, mainly because they are engaging, attractive and are relatively inexpensive to maintain. My emphasis is focussed on the little joys manufactured by Fiat. Their Panda, not the newest brand on our highways and byways, is a surefire winner in the hotly contested small city car market where value for money is a premium factor. Producing small cars is a Fiat stronghold.Their Panda was revitalised for an eagerly welcomed relaunch in 2011 - and the Italian masters of the small car have continuously and painstakingly updated and improved its performance and kerbside appeal. It may not be as super sophisticated as its foremost rival, the Volkswagen Up, but on the road, where it really matters, its response to one’s demands is very satisfying. It is safe and sound. As nippy as needs be on just about every hectic and threatening trip into the city from the suburbs. And, as an essential safety-first extra, the latest Panda
50 Looklocal Magazine - November 2019
offers an ‘imminent collision detection’ device which slams on the brakes automatically if it feels a prang threatens. How about that for considered concern? Basically, not too much has changed over the years, and it still prefers practicality over pompous style. It is a tad taller than other city cars and its five doors offer easy access, even to the most stiffly backed among us. In the cabin the high mounted gear lever is rather sporty, the dashboard is a clutter of essential info and the wise buyer can choose from half-a-dozen interior colours to match with at least 10 exterior shades. So you may personalise it to your individual fancy and the same goes for the excellent 500- model. There is also, a ‘DualDrive’ button to take the weight off the steering and for ease of parking. Things just get better don’t they? All in all, to my mind, the Panda is an enjoyable and popular little eye-catcher. Just like it’s four legged, fury namesake... Specification: Two petrol, one diesel.Warranty 60,000 miles. Prices range from £9,800 to £18,300. My choice: 85bhp TwinAir Easy 4x4. Mpg:37.7. Speed 0-62 mph in 12 secs. Cost £14,865.

Not Sure - Don’t Open the Door! NEIL CLARKE, 13362 CRIME REDUCTION ADVISOR EASTERN DIVISION
This is the advice offered by Surrey Trading Standard to anyone who receives unwanted or unsolicited callers at their homes and this is endorsed fully by your local policing team. There are several different types of “cold calling”, ranging from people offering products or services, to people trying to gain access to a person’s home in order to commit a theft. Mole Valley has been designated as “No Cold Calling” zone for several years and this has had some impact, in terms of reducing the number of cold callers, as well as empowering people to exercise their right not to deal with unsolicited doorstep callers. Most households should already have stickers to display, advising people that you do not respond to cold calling. If there is anyone who would like a new sticker, or a replacement for their old one, then these can be obtained by contacting either your local Safer Neighbourhood Team or Trading Standards. In recent months we have also seen a spate of door-todoor selling of various household items by people who are “dropped” in a particular area and then go out trying to sell their products. Often these people state that they are trying to do something to earn a living having just come out of prison. That may well be the case but, in order to sell door-to-door, they must have a current “Peddlers’ Licence” issued by the Local Authority from the area in which they normally reside. No one should feel pressured into buying goods in this way and any concerns should be called through to police on 101. If, of course, the caller behaves in such a way as to cause
56 Looklocal Magazine - November 2019
you fear or distress, then you can always call us on 999. Similarly, never let anyone into your home without establishing that they are “genuine”. Sometimes people claim to be from the water company, dealing with a leak down the road and asking if they can come in to your home to check your supply. This is a common “distraction burglary” technique, where the home owner is asked to monitor the flow of water in their kitchen whilst the “engineer” checks upstairs, using the opportunity to steal items in the process. Genuine utility companies and their representatives will never mind your keeping them waiting while you check their details. It is also worth mentioning that many utility companies also offer a “password” scheme. This is where you register a preferred password with the company and anyone calling at your door has to give the correct password before the resident will grant them access. Never accept doorstep quotes for work to be done on your home. Ideally, check out and compare companies for yourself. Also, personal recommendation can go a long way towards preventing your becoming a victim of a rogue trader. In the past, people have often believed that using a door chain before opening the door is a good way of dealing with unknown callers. It is true that this offers a barrier but, once the skilled “salesperson” has managed to engage a resident in conversation, it can be very hard to terminate the contact. Far better to follow the advice from Trading Standards – “Not sure – don’t open the door!”
