My in-box tells me that Christmas is not that far away! Details of a whole collection of seasonal productions & events from groups & organisations like the The Yehudi Menuhin School as well as a selection of local Christmas Fairs and markets, have all made their way to my computer screen, which after last year, is very exciting indeed and I am delighted to share details with you in this issue... The Cobham Area Foodbank, were recently delighted to welcome Sir Stephen Lamport GCVO DL, Vice LordLieutenant of Surrey and his wife Lady Angela Lamport. The Lieutenancy presented the team with a certificate in recognition of the outstanding contribution made in support of the local community, particularly during the recent Covid pandemic. See details on page 18. We had a fabulous response to our Cash Draw Competition last month so we have decided to run it again! It is very easy to enter, and remember, you’ve got to be in it, to win it! See page 19 for the details… Last month’s winner can be found on our Index page, 38. Of course, November is also the time when we commemorate the fallen on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday which this year is on 14th November. At the moment the Royal British Legion are working towards “business as usual” for the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in London and to have collections for the Poppy Appeal return to our local communities. Do support them if you are able. There will of course, also be local services of remembrance. Please take special care of your pets this month, bringing them inside during the evenings. Fireworks can start early, and go off frequently, during this month. Whatever November has in store for you, please stay safe and stay well. Until next time,

Which buildings or landscapes make Elmbridge special? Residents in Elmbridge are being asked to offer suggestions for the ‘local heritage list’, a selection of buildings and landscapes in Elmbridge highly valued by the local community.
What’s currently on the list?
For Elmbridge a few locally well-known places are on the list, including, Molesey Boat Club, Foley Arms, Claygate, & Lilliput Children’s Centre, Hersham. Buildings of course can be recommended; however, other suggestions can be: statues, memorials, sculptures, walls or pieces of street furniture. Parks or gardens, or other examples of designed landscapes. Nominations will be assessed against a set of selection criteria with draft lists compiled for consultation in early 2022. Once the list has been approved by the council, it will be used to inform planning decisions and the heritage assets on them will be added to the Surrey Historic Environment Record, managed and maintained by Surrey County Council. The nomination process closes at 5pm on Tuesday 16 November 2021. To have your say go to:

12 Looklocal Magazine - November 2021
This month we caught up with Preston, a forward thinking teenager who invests in property! Preston born and bred, Hamza was in a school run car accident at just 11. After a drawn out investigation, further complicated by Covid, his fiscal compensation was finally awarded when he was 18. Immediately advised to invest in a pension. Hamza sought counsel from his parents who encouraged him to look at property up north – they were familiar with the neighbourhoods and could even be his tenants. Hamza wasn’t so sure, and after a swift consultation with Mr Google up popped Buy to Let Hunter. Hamza met Adrian and Alex and found them relatable, trustworthy and they spoke the same language. Hamza tentatively asked for some advice and with some sensible guidance, he investigated all of his options with his new chums. “I was sold.” He sighed with relief. There were a few struggles finding a mortgage broker, a scuffle with solicitors but eventually a loan was secured, an offer made and accepted, walls painted, furniture purchased and his two-bedroom semi was ready for the first guest. Buying his little house in Hitchin was a great move for Hamza: “I realised that I don’t want to buy up north: the returns are too low.” His father argued that the money Hamza spent in Hitchin would buy him a mansion closer to home – but Hamza Advertising feature
stayed strong! Hamza feels confident in his decision to eschew a pension and take his place on the property ladder instead. “I can always sell it in a few years if my situation changes – or if I get married…” he added, eminently sensibly, understanding the flexibility of his choice. Hamza felt very supported throughout; a student studying PPE, Hamza plans to use the income from his property to help pay his tuition and living expenses. It will enable him to go on and pursue a master’s degree in environmental consultancy. “Working with the BTLH team was a very positive experience. I cannot imagine doing this on my own – but look! Now I am on the property ladder and a lot of the credit goes to Adrian and Alex!” Unlike most of us twice his age, Hamza has a clear view of his future, and has eschewed the usual options for a young lad with money in his pocket. We are so proud to have assisted him and can attest that Hamza is the very embodiment of aspiration; is this the beginning of his empire? Can BTLH help you find the perfect property?

COBHAM AREA FOODBANK RECOGNISED FOR ITS INVALUABLE CONTRIBUTION DURING PANDEMIC
On 12th October 2021, the trustees and volunteers of Cobham Area Foodbank were honoured to welcome Sir Stephen Lamport GCVO DL, Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Surrey and his wife Lady Angela Lamport to their Distribution Centre. On behalf of the Lieutenancy Sir Stephen presented the team with a certificate in recognition of the outstanding contribution that Cobham Area Foodbank has made in support of the local community during the pandemic. Sir Stephen spoke warmly of the work of the Foodbank over the last eighteen months: “On behalf of The Lieutenancy, we wish to thank Cobham Area Foodbank for the outstanding dedication and support you have made for those in crisis in your local community during the pandemic. Thanks to all the efforts, generosity and commitment of Cobham Area Foodbank, its army of dedicated volunteers and its supporters, you have provided a lifeline to the most vulnerable and needy people in your Community during this unprecedented time”. Christina van Roest, Trustee & General Manager, explained “Since the start of the Pandemic, we have been able to help families

who come to our Centre at the Cobham United Church. We have heard stories of misfortune, loneliness, being out of work, being cooped up because of lockdown with kids not knowing what to do anymore, worried about income and trying to cope with daily life during all the restrictions”. She continued, “No wonder that causes mental health problems for many, including children.’ Although the worst of the Pandemic appears to be over, the future is still uncertain, worrying and unpredictable. The Foodbank will continue with its efforts to help as many people as possible who come through its doors or contact them. PPE and the precautions that were enforced from the beginning of the Pandemic will continue to be adopted, because otherwise many people would be disadvantaged and hurt if the Foodbank had to isolate and shut down. Anyone who would like to help can donate food at the collection points and ‘bins’ at the churches and various shops – a full list can be found at cobhamarea.foodbank.org.uk or donate financially https://cobhamarea. foodbank.org.uk/give-help/

Looklocal Magazine - November 2021 23
Book Reviews NOVEMBER 2021 ‘A Slow Fire Burning’ by Paula Hawkins (Hardback £20.00) Having read her previous books I was interested to see what this one had to offer. I found it to be the best one to date. The cast of characters connected in a complex relationship kept me engaged and intrigued. The three women are in turns pitiable and unlikeable; all could have been responsible for the death of the young man. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will happily read her next book. ‘The Wolf Age: The Vikings, the Anglo-Saxons and the Battle for the North Sea Empire’ by Tore Skeie (Hardback £25.00) Norwegian historian Tore Skeie has the gripping narrative skills of a thriller writer. The raw material is exciting already, with relentless years of Viking raids and desperate Anglo-Saxon kings countering with battle and bribery. Skeie also connects these events with the tumultuous changes throughout early medieval Europe, from the Norwegian fjords to Muslim Andalusia. His fresh perspectives and skilful use of the source material such as poetry, sagas, the furious preaching of Wulfstan, artworks and maps add to the sense of what it must have been like to live in this terrifying, innovative and exhilarating age. ‘Dinner Party: A Tragedy’ by Sarah Gilmartin (Hardback £16.99) Kate Gleeson hosts an annual memorial dinner on Halloween in honour of her twin sister Elaine. Kate’s life has been shaped and marred by the tragic accidental deaths of her father and separately her sister. The rest of the family are emotionally bound together in a twisted almost tortuous embrace. Their mother is a manipulative, emotionally and physically abusive woman. Kate and her brothers each try to escape her control in their adult lives. Over time, and with the benefit of counselling, they come to a place where they can begin to forgive and heal their fractured family. A worthwhile read! : 01932 862903 : info@cobhambooks.com : www.cobhambooks.com : 12A Anyards Rd, Cobham, KT11 2JZ

Movers and shakers….. We are in an industry of rapid change and are aware that today’s “new boy” is tomorrow’s “yesterday man”. We thought it would be beneficial to highlight some of the new products that are hitting the streets and what their impact might be for you. Windows 11- Released on the 5th October, Microsoft have detailed a minimum system spec it requires. Whilst there are no major surprises from a performance requirement, there is one item Microsoft are making a mandatory component, which is something called TPM v2. TPM (Stands for Trusted Platform Module-if you have it) is built into your motherboard/processor of the machine. It provides hardware to carry our crypto-graphical operations to make your machine tamper resistant and protect your machine against malicious software. In many cases the TPM functionality is disabled. To enable TPM can be quite a tricky as you have to go into the core machine settings, an area called the Bios- which is the basic firmware for your motherboard. Windows 11 offers improved connectivity to external monitors and devices, a newer cleaner look and appearance and the big plus is its ability to run many Android written Apps that you may have on your smart phone. Windows 10 will continue in support until 14 October 2025, so you do not need to jump to Windows 11 right now, but it will be worth considering this in 2022. We are seeing a significant increase in the sale of large monitors. This may be fuelled by the home working need and the reduction in price of the larger displays; currently a 32” display is being sold at what was the price of 27” monitor, which is being sold at what was the price of a 24” monitor. So many monitors have shuffled down in price point. For example, we have this very attractive Hannspree 32” monitor for just £285.00, a great performing monitor and very slick looking too. Stocks of Notebooks and desktops have, and continue to be, a challenge. Although we are well stocked, we have noticed a fall in the sales price of many units, so it is a very good time to buy and all PC’s we sell will be fully Windows 11 compliant. Many software problems we are encountering have been caused where the Windows updates are blocking some of the older applications from running or performing properly. If you are using Office 2013 or earlier, you really should be considering an upgrade to your Office package as this may be causing you problems as it is no longer in support. Office 2016 for a PC will cease support on 14 October 2025. This guide was written by Les Beer, from Tecres in Leatherhead, who have been providing computer solutions since 1989.

Range Rover
CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY
Talk about cars and mention RR and I would bet any money that Rolls Royce springs instantly to mind. Not any more! Well, not to my way of thinking. The world recognised initials RR have taken on a competitive new identity in the superior shape and performance of the upcoming Range Rover, the splendid result of 50 years of research and painstaking development by the finest of the UK’s motor minds. I dwell in 4-by-4-land, with probably more of the auto biggies in the home counties, and around London, than anywhere else in our blessed land - and the numbers are certain to be accelerated with the wonderful RR newcomer, the flagship of the company, early next year. I am told orders have already been placed before its official appearance. Much of its detail, and the pinpointing of its rumoured improvement in all sectors, remains stowed away in the imaginative minds of its developers and engineers, even if its basic design remains pretty much the same as its predecessors. I can say that the new model will feature a slightly gentler design in terms of the box shape of car. In addition the lights and wheel arches will be binned to give it a more up to

date appearance. The company describes the changes as “a mild redesign“. We shall see... Nevertheless, I trust the flagship beauty will be a pinnacle of luxury, inside and out, as it expands its status in a really hard-fought market of estates and four-by-fours. It is destined to be the fastest of them all. Not only that, the sofa-like and sublime comfort on its innards, with five lounge-type and unbelievable comfy rear seats and legroom a plenty, will assure passengers. Plus, they will have plenty of headroom, so the pricey hairdos and curls of the grateful lady guests do not get flattened and wrecked. Nor will the bowler hats of their hubbies. The latest result of the company’s careful planning and plotting is rumoured to be powered by a V8 two-litre turbo and a 141 BHP electric motor. The result? The performance? Still secrets....but you can bet it will be value for your hard-earned. I can’t wait for the final revelations! And I would guarantee I am not alone. As for “the other” RR? One of my very, very favourite modes of the poshest and superb expert examples of the best of British workmanship, I shall give it another thought if I win the National Lottery!
LATEST VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES November 2021
A wonderful opportunity to make a difference to the life of an older person
A commitment of one hour a week to visit an elderly person in their home for a cup of tea and a chat can put an end to isolation and loneliness. Many volunteers build up a friendship that sees both parties benefiting from the experience.

Whether it is delivering meals, taking people for hospital appointments, dropping clients to groups and clubs. Using your own car or driving a minibus or van for an organisation, we have a number of organisations looking for drivers in a variety of roles. These can be a regular commitment, ad hoc or flexible to suit your availability.
Use your admin skills to help the local community
