Welcome to our festive issue of Look Local! Every year it’s the same, December creeps up on me and bang, another year is nearly over. Welcome to our festive issue of Look Local in Weybridge. Having enjoyed a mild autumn, it’s been a bit of a shock to feel the biting cold on my early morning dog walks recently; hats and gloves have found their way out of the drawer and Jack Frost has started to appear again, although he comes and goes, it seems. He obviously has other commitments, but that suits me fine! We are happy to share a selection of little features this month which I hope you will find of interest. And an update from the Chatterbus team...it’s always good to hear about this great local service which goes from strength to strength. Of course, this is the time of year for many festive events and projects, so we include a good selection for you to take your pick! Included also is a music quiz from the lovely David ‘Kid’ Jensen and a book competition kindly provided by Ted Macauley, our Look Local motoring expert. These are just a few things you can find within our pages this month. I do hope you enjoy thumbing our pages and that we have included something for everyone to enjoy. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas & a happy & healthy 2018. On a personal note, I am looking forward to welcoming my three sons from far and wide, Asia, Leeds and Reigate in fact! I can’t wait to have my gang back together for Christmas. We look forward to bringing you more issues of Look Local in the year ahead. Warmest regards,
Ros

Surrey Voices SHINE IN VALETTA, MALTA
195 members of three local choirs travel to take part in the 23rd International Choir Festival
Surrey was well represented in Malta last week, as three local choirs travelled together to take part in the 23rd International Choir Festival. An impressive party of 195 singers and supporters from Surrey Music’s two community choirs (Elmbridge Choir and Elmbridge Ladies Choir), together with Vox Mundi International Ladies Choir from Egham, enjoyed a five-day trip full of sightseeing and singing. The two Elmbridge Choirs have previously participated together in choral festivals and were delighted to invite the 16 members of Vox Mundi to join them for this trip. All three choirs were accompanied by Vox Mundi’s pianist, David Darby. As well as performing in parish churches in St Julian’s and Gozo, where each choir sang songs from their own repertoire, the choirs had the honour of leading the festival’s ‘Singing and Praying for Peace’ ceremonies in the magnificent St John’s CoCathedral in Valletta. The choirs’ musical directors, Cliff van Tonder (Elmbridge Choir), Christine Parker (Elmbridge Ladies Choir) and Jennifer Bell (Vox Mundi), were privileged to conduct 33 choirs, totalling 1020 choristers! ‘It was the most amazing experience, conducting our choir and a huge audience in such a stunning venue - a very special memory which will stay with me forever,’ says Cliff van Tonder. ‘Singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” in one of the most beautiful churches in the world was awe-

inspiring and highly symbolic!’ The choirs took part in the choristers’ parade, where all participating choirs took to the streets of Valletta, proudly waving their countries’ flags and singing songs in their own language - a sight and sound to behold! In addition, the Surrey choirs took their turn performing to cheering crowds from a splendid ornate bandstand at the Valletta City Gates. The choirs enjoyed sightseeing tours to Mdina and Mosta, the Three Cities, a full day on Gozo and a special evening dinner party in a fabulous restaurant, where Christine was presented with a gift to mark her first ‘official’ outing as Musical Director with Elmbridge Ladies Choir. ‘As their new Musical Director, I am so proud of them’, says Christine. ‘Their love of singing shines through in their performances as does their enjoyment of each new experience.’ Cliff was also presented with gifts from the choir members to thank him for organising such a wonderful trip. ‘Cliff has worked his socks off over the last eight months in planning this trip down to the last detail’, explains Debbie Groves from Surrey Music, ‘and we are all indebted to him for once again providing us with such fantastic opportunities and creating wonderful memories. It has been an absolutely amazing trip and we are proud to have been flying the flag not just for Surrey, but as the only UK participants, for Britain too!’

ASK BRUCE HOME ALONE
Look Local reader Mark has a two-year-old German wire haired pointer who hates being left alone. This doesn’t happen often, as Mark takes him to work every day, but on the odd occasion when he has to leave him, the dog becomes anxious and cries. Mark asks what can we do to help him and is a second companion dog the answer? Ultimately, this is a complex issue, and an experienced dog behaviourist is needed. Just like people, all dogs are individuals, which means their psychological needs should be assessed on a dog-by-dog basis. Your first step is to understand the root cause behind your dog’s separation anxiety and address it. Spending time establishing a cosy familiar den in the form of a dog crate can also help. Then, when you leave the house, he can enjoy being in a smaller much-loved space, rather than alone in an empty house which can feel daunting. If he isn’t currently used to a crate, this exercise should be undertaken slowly and over time, as he must not feel caged. Medication is available to assist but should be a secondary option once the behavioural issues are dealt with. A companion dog is definitely not the answer. The first dog may make the second dog anxious and you could end up with two distressed dogs! This is a tough one to tackle on your own. Feel free to contact us and we can recommend some excellent trainers experienced in dog anxiety who could help.

New Chatterbus ON THE ROAD IN WEYBRIDGE
Further information: Anne Yeates 07803 609582
A smart new 16-seater Chatterbus has been plying the roads of Weybridge since mid-October, taking over from the aging converted minibus, and is already winning new fans. After only three weeks, passenger numbers were the best ever. Now with charitable status to its name, Chatterbus was launched in April 2015 after official reports and onthe-ground research had shown this part of Surrey to be in ‘transport poverty’, especially across the A3 between Weybridge and Cobham. Chatterbus Chairman Sir Gerald Acher said, “The service has proved more popular with the whole community than we ever imagined possible. We are now setting it up in a sustainable way to ensure its continued success.” Mothers with pushchairs in particular are finding the new low-floor Mellor bus far easier to board and many more are now using the service. The elderly and wheelchair users are also finding access much improved. Extra interior space leaves plenty of room for shopping trolleys, and the electronic destination boards make the Chatterbus weekday C1 and Saturday C2 services easier to identify. The reliability of the service will be even greater, with the new state-of-the-art-vehicle.

www.chatterbus.org.uk
What hasn’t changed, however, is the trademark friendliness of the service. As well as becoming a lifeline for those with no transport of their own to shop, visit friends and access vital services, Chatterbus has come to be a social focus for many: “Our drivers are the best in Surrey,” said Sir Gerald. “They make Chatterbus live up to its name with their good humour. They know many of the regular passengers by name and think nothing of going the extra mile.” Other services that have been maintained are the bus tracker and text alert to any delays. Links to both of these, as well as to up-to-date timetables and Chatterbus news can be found at www.chatterbus.org.uk. The purchase of the new bus was made possible by the grant of CIL money by Elmbridge Council, and the day-to-day running is underpinned by sponsorship from Surrey County Council, Chelsea Football Club Foundation and numerous small businesses, community groups and individuals. Sir Gerald said, “Semi-rural services like ours can never make a profit and we are forever grateful to our local communities and residents for their continued financial support.”

Making Your Money deprived during the term of the PPI policy and is taxable, like any normal bank interest. The bank may deduct basic rate income tax of 20% before paying you the simple interest. As a result, if after including the interest in your total income calculation, you are still a basic rate taxpayer, you should not need to complete a tax return, nor have any additional tax to pay on it. Interest up to £1,000 (£500 for higher rate taxpayers) may be tax-free if it is covered by the personal savings allowance. If you think tax has been incorrectly deducted from your interest, you may be able to get a tax refund. If the simple interest is not taxed and exceeds £10,000 or if you are not a basic rate taxpayer, there could be tax implications and you should confirm with HMRC whether they require a tax return from you. Conversely, if your income is under the personal allowance, you may be due a tax refund. From 13th January 2018, you will no longer be able to pay your self-assessment tax bill with your personal credit card, forcing taxpayers to use business credit cards or choose an alternative payment method. Alternative payment options include online or telephone banking, the Clearing House Automated Payment System (CHAPS), debit card, via your bank/building society, Post Office, direct debit or cheque. HMRC also plans to withdraw the facility to pay through a Post Office from 15th December 2017. The new rule scrapping personal credit card payments for self-assessment tax returns will come into effect on the same day as the Government introduces a ban on credit and debit surcharges in the UK. This means that retailers and traders will no longer be allowed to charge you for using your credit or debit card

Competition Time THE STORY OF THE CAR BY GILES CHAPMAN Once in a while, but nowhere near frequently enough, there appears on the shelves a book to captivate both the senior and junior members of the family equally, like a tasty verbal treat to be relished. And that has welcomely happened with a rather splendid and superbly written and illustrated hardback of no mean size, entitled: “The Story of the Car”, priced at £12.99 and written by veteran motoring journalist and broadcaster Giles Chapman, the author of 40 books. It is a fascinatingly total trace of our private transport, our pride and joy, from its lifechanging inception 140 years ago up to the present day, pinpointing the developments from scary steam-powered slow-crawlers to the sleek iconic electric and flash flyers of nowadays, giving us the latest treats, comforts and excitement on the move.

Track down the traffic jam from legendary Benz’s first motor wagon to the jet-propelled cutting-edge Thrust SSC… Sheer petrol heads and even the mildly curious will share the coffee-table-topper’s excellent and unfussy, uncomplicated and impressively illustrated offering that I forecast will be a firm favourite, a deserved success for awardwinner Mr Chapman. I have appreciated its company and unrivalled supply of revealing info and history, and would like to pass it all on as a prize to a family as eager to enjoy as I have been.

A Year To Remember THE CLASSIC 300 SERIES
Image: Ian Chandler (3rd from the right) welcomes 5 of the entrants at Brooklands
The Classic 300, a programme of “fun runs” for classic cars, motorcycles, military vehicles and PSV vehicles, culminated with the National Final at Brooklands in Weybridge, the oldest purpose-built race track in the UK. The iconic Brooklands Museum and Circuit were the hosts on Sunday October 1 where Ian Chandler, the Head of Surrey Freemasons, welcomed drivers, their passengers and spectators and when subsequently the entrants climbed the famous Test Hill. Built in 1909, this 352-foot hill starts with a 1 in 8 slope, quickly becoming 1 in 5 and finishing at the top with a 1 in 4 gradient – quite a challenge for some of the older cars to even get to the top! Photographs were taken at the Classic 300 Finish Arch and under the shadow of the British Airways Concorde, on permanent display as part of the unique history of this motoring and aviation museum. From the Lake District to Lands End, to many varied venues such as Brands Hatch, the Crich Tram Museum and the Isle of Man, The Classic 300 series ran from May to October this year as part of the nationwide commemoration of three hundred years of Freemasonry in England. The National Start was staged at The Long Walk in Windsor on May 21 with more than 100 classic vehicles in the line-up. The United Grand Lodge

of England’s Grand Master, HRH The Duke of Kent, waved off the participants on a 25-mile tour of the Berkshire countryside. This public event attracted many hundreds of visitors (and their dogs) who were able to meet the drivers, see the vehicles before they departed, enjoy the garden party atmosphere and listen to the music of a brass band. The numerous Fun Runs travelled to motoring venues in the North of England, The Midlands, the East of England, the South-East, the South and the SouthWest, carrying a travelling gavel (a con-rod from a racing Jaguar). This was passed around the country from vehicle to vehicle. It even managed to be on-board a marshal’s motorcycle during TT week on the Isle of Man course. One of the oldest motor sport facilities in the UK – Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb, in Worcestershire - was visited on July 9, a week after another Fun Run travelled from Bristol’s Ashton Gate Football and Rugby Stadium to Haynes Motor Museum in Sparkford, Somerset. Ian Chandler, Head of Surrey Masons, said, “This has been a fantastic year for The Classic 300 and a milestone year for the Tercentenary of Freemasonry in England. The public were invited to all these Masonic motoring events to share in the enjoyment of seeing these historic vehicles in action.”

Auntie Planty’s FESTIVE GARDENING TIPS
THE POINSETTIA PLANT
When it comes to choosing great plants for Christmas, I think that the poinsettia is hard to beat. And it should be no surprise that they’re also known as Santa Plants. Although there are now white and pink varieties, there is only one colour for me - bright red! Curiously though, the red parts of this plant are not flowers. They are called bracts: the flowers are the small structures right in the centre of the plant. The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is also called the Mexican flame leaf and is native to Central America, near southern Mexico. It was introduced to the United States in 1828 and got its name from Joel Roberts Poinsett. Poinsett was the first U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, with a passion for botany. If you give this colourful plant the care that it demands, it’ll remain looking great long beyond Christmas. If not, it’s sure to sulk, drop its leaves and look dreadful. Top tips include giving it a warm spot where the temperature doesn’t drop below 13C (55F), in good but not scorching light. It is extremely important to check that it is placed well out of draughts. Watering is important too, but you should wait until the compost is almost dry before watering. Misting the leaves frequently will be appreciated, especially where the plant is in a centrally heated room. And do take care when handling the plant, as the sap can give you a skin rash.
Poinsettias are short day plants, and it is only when the daylight falls below 12 hours a day that they will even begin to think about starting to flower. What most people mistake as flowers are in fact specialised leaves, or bracts. The small yellow flowers are found in the centre of the bract branches. So, when the daylight lengthens next year, then the plant will lose its red bracts and revert to green. Provided that you keep it alive and healthy, it is possible to make it flower again in time for next Christmas. But, be warned, it’s quite fiddly and you do need more than 8 weeks of a very strict regime to achieve good results! This will entail putting the plant into complete darkness during the night and bring it into daylight each day. If you are interested in trying this, do give me a call in September. Like magic, the red bracts and flowers should appear in time for Christmas. Valerie Munro is a chartered horticulturist.

VW Polo OUR FESTIVE CAR REVIEW By Ted Macauley
Next month (January) will herald the arrival of Volkswagen’s latest and boldest bid to cash in and unnerve their rivals in the highly competitive and big business small hatchback SUV market. And it comes in the petite shape of the Polo Mk6, the sixth generation of the marque and what to me looks like a surefire winner. All new and more grown up than ever before, it has improvements on its predecessors, including the abandonment of the three-door version for a five-door replacement. VW…Veritable Winners… which has amassed 14m sales worldwide, and 1.4m in the UK since 1975, has opted to lure younger buyers. Hence the updated, uprated Polo’s sharper looks and dazzling interior, oh-sobright and colourful, compared with its previous rather sombre appearance. Now it is aglow with a neatly integrated wow of an eightinch touchscreen infotainment system designed not only to be easy on the eye but uncomplicatedly convenient to the fingers, even for the ham-fisted among us. In contrast to its older relatives, the re-thought and extended wheelbase offers the distinct advantage of a more generous underbody which consequently benefits those on board, with more space in the cabin, adequate

leg and headroom and a superior driving position with a clear view. Boot space, too, is 25% more generous than before. There is also a fresh range of engines, taking in five 1.0 litre petrol versions as well as 1.5 litre and 2.0 litre petrols and a twosome of 1.6 diesels. It is all fine evidence that Volkswagen is chasing really hard, with so many rivals scrapping so intensely to command the SUV sharplybuilding supply chain. The Mk6 price is reckoned to be about £13,500, a whole deal dearer than, say, the equivalent Ibiza, and certainly a bigger wallet-emptier than its Polo predecessors. But as neat and tidy and economic all-rounders go, this new kid on the cylinder block will hold its own, I am sure. Setbacks? Few. It can be a wee bit noisy and harsh at certain rev levels, but that’s something you can put up with when you allow your thoughts to be overtaken by the vast benefits that accrue from this advanced and tasty mint Polo. Specification: VW Polo 1.0 TSI 95. Engine 3cylinder, 999cc turbo. Petrol. Top speed 116mph. Accleration: 0-62mph 10.8 secs. Price around £13,500 (on sale in January).

Counting the day? COACHING WITH INSPIRATION
Are you one of the many who are counting the days at this time of the year? Whether eagerly popping out chocolates from an advent calendar, humming The Twelve Days of Christmas while preparing the Christmas pud, or muttering ‘how many days till it’s all over?’, many of us are counting the days at this time of the year. It could be with anticipation of fun times, panic that there won’t be enough time to get everything done, or the detached efficiency of one who knows exactly what needs to be done in each minute between now and New Year’s Day, and everyone had better stay out of the way. Whatever your take on the counting process, one thing is pretty sure: most of us are getting through our days rather than savouring them, regardless of the time of year. How much are you enjoying the moments with your nearest and dearest? And how much are they enjoying shared moments with you?? If we move our attention away from getting closer to, or beyond, some event in the future to actually making each moment count now, squeezing the most life, the most joy, the most goodness out of each day, we have the opportunity to create something special with our lives. How often do we stop and think ‘what do I need to do in order to make today the best day possible, both for myself and for the people I interact with?’ When we shift the focus from ‘what can this day give me?’ to ‘what can I do that’s going to make it a better day for having had me in it?’, the feeling we end up with can be hugely satisfying and empowering. Of course, at this time of the year, things have to be planned, done, arranged, achieved. A happy family Christmas gathering or New Year’s Eve party isn’t going to happen on its own. But if the damage caused in the run-up to the event, either to our own or to others’ wellbeing or to our relationships, is greater than the
enjoyment and connection we create at the event itself, it’s just not worth the effort. So how can you make this Christmas and New Year, in whatever way you celebrate them, a time to deepen relationships instead of taking them for granted? A time of appreciating everything we’ve received from each other and from the planet that is our home, instead of taking advantage of them? A time of looking at what we need to do differently in 2018 to increase our contribution to the wellbeing of those we know, those we don’t know, and, of course, to ourselves?
Happy Christmas, Happy New Year & Happy You!
