From the Editor

Local Magazines Published by Glos Directories - connecting local businesses with local people

Dear Reader, Can you believe we are in August already! I’m really not sure where this year has gone and 2017 has certainly been interesting thus far. I hope you are enjoying the summer holidays and the long break isn’t proving too much of a strain on you or your purse. The summer holidays can be a worrying time for some parents, whether it’s trying to find childcare, thinking of things to do to keep the children entertained or just being mum's taxi! Why not take a look at the useful 'What’s On' section in the back of the magazine for some great ideas on places to take the children or indeed the whole family. One event to note is the Tewkesbury Classic Vehicle Festival which is held over the weekend of 19th August. It is sure to be a fun-filled weekend with a nostalgic 1950's American-style drive-in movie experience showing the 1978 film Grease. Gates open at 6.00pm with the film starting at 8.00pm. To purchase tickets please visit www.tewkesburycvf.org. On Sunday 20th August, the Classic Vehicle Festival opens at 11.00am, with more than 700 cars and 200 motorcycles on display along with over 100 market stalls selling everything from jewellery to jam! Both events are being held at Tewkesbury School. Finally, now that Wimbledon is over, take some time to relax in the garden with a nice cup of tea and read through the August edition of the Tewkesbury Magazine, because before you know it the school runs will be starting all over again! Best wishes, Vicky Muller

2017 Bredon Annual Boat Races Why not join us on the riverbank in Bredon on Saturday 2nd September for an afternoon of sporting action, adrenalin and fun? Yes, it’s that time of year again for the popular annual Bredon Boat Races. Watch the racing, enter the raffle and try your luck at the bottle stall. There will be teas, a cider tent and for the first time this year a pig roast, plus music from the hugely popular ReVIVals, and various stalls and activities for children on the bank. Spectator entry is £2.50 for adults whilst under 12’s go free. The fee to enter a crew of eight in the races is just £25, but please don’t leave it to the last minute to enter as last year we had a reserve list. The team to beat this year is last year’s victors Titanic HGS (pictured) so start training now. If you really want to win

the trophy, it’s tougher than it looks – bell boats are built for stability rather than speed, so serious paddling is hard going. The key is having a team that will pull together, literally. Clashing paddles make lots of splashes which is fun but slows you down. Why not set yourself up as Captain and recruit a team to represent your pub, club or workplace? Include your kids as every participating child gets a treat. Fancy dress and fun facts about team members are encouraged for use by the announcer on the day. To book your place just choose a crew name and email Amanda Bath for an entry form. Email: amanda.parishoffice@talktalk.net This event is kindly sponsored by Johnson Scotia and MT Training to

raise funds for the historic and beautiful St Giles Church. Registered Charity No. 1129909. Entry: £2.50, Under 12’s free Crews £25 for a team of 8 The Old Rectory Meadow, Dock Lane, Bredon, Tewkesbury, GL20 7LG

Tewkesbury works for business Tewkesbury Borough Council’s drive to support business growth and economic prosperity seeks to maximise the potential of its unique location and fantastic road, rail and airport connections. Its new economic development and tourism strategy puts employment land provision, for new and expanding businesses, and improving businesscritical transport infrastructure at the forefront of its commitment, along with providing practical help and support to promote business growth. Tewkesbury borough sits astride the M5, mainline railway connections, and one of the 10 busiest airports in the UK, giving unrivalled transport connections; excellent links to Bristol and Birmingham and a large part of the UK population within only 2 hours travel time. The borough is home to a wide mix of businesses, from small local enterprises to major international companies, from tourism and agriculture to internationally renowned engineering and aerospace with cutting edge scientific and technical expertise. Businesses trade locally, nationally and globally and we work to support these diverse needs in numerous ways, from farmers’ markets to events promoting trade with China. The new Growth Hub, setting up shortly in the Tewkesbury

public service centre illustrates that support, and will prove a real asset to local business people by offering free advice and practical help. The strategy is a result of extensive consultation with businesses and our local partners about their needs. It is supported by an economic study and employment land review undertaken by Bruton Knowles and AMION Consulting, incorporating their recommendations. The council are also working closely with the G First LEP (local economic partnership) promoting the M5 growth zone in order to attract investment.

Employment land planning that responds to the needs of businesses is critical, as are road and rail transport improvements, and the growth of the local airport, renowned for its commercial significance. Economic prosperity makes life better for everyone, and this is a clear strategy designed to focus our efforts on what works for business.” A full copy of the strategy can be found here: www.tewkesbury.gov. uk/strategies-and-policies

Housing and homelessness team achieves top 10% in the country

Keeping Safe at the Beach this Summer Two out of three people in the UK will head to the seaside at least once this year. Most beach goers will have an enjoyable and relaxing time. So when something goes wrong, who can help? RNLI Lifeboat Volunteers or Search and Rescue Helicopter Crews can respond within minutes, and often save lives close to the shore. But sometimes, at the beach, seconds count.

Tewkesbury Borough Council’s housing and homelessness team has recently been subject to a peer review by officers from other local authorities to consider how well it is delivering services to some of the most vulnerable members of our society i.e. those who are at risk of being homeless. The review examined various elements of the service and how they are delivered; it also considered how well the council works with its partners both internal and external as well as interviewing staff and partners involved with the service. The outcome of the review was received on Tuesday 11 July and the council is pleased to announce that the team scored 73% putting them in the top 10% of the country. 110 authorities have been audited to date and the next step will be to ’go for gold’ and apply to the Department of Communities and Local Government for entry into the ‘Gold Standards’ programme. Pete Tonge, Head of Community Services said “I am extremely proud of this achievement by the team, they work extremely hard and are serving our vulnerable communities well. I would also like to pay tribute to our partners who support us in the invaluable work.”

For the best chance of survival, you need someone on the beach who can see the dangers develop: someone who can prevent accidents before they happen and respond instantly if they occur. This is where the RNLI Lifeguards play such a vital role. Ninety-five per cent of a good lifeguard's work is preventative; many lives have already been saved by their vigilance. When you’re heading to a beach, we urge you to respect the water and visit a Lifeguarded Beach. On a lifeguarded beach there are trained professionals to help keep you safe – they’ll be on hand if something goes wrong, in or out of the water. If lifeguards are on patrol, then you’ll need to know your flags:

Red and Yellow flag Lifeguarded area. Safest area to swim, bodyboard and use inflatables.

Black and White chequered flag For surfboards, stand-up paddleboards, kayaks and other non-powered craft. Launch and recovery area for kitesurfers and windsurfers. Never swim or bodyboard here.

Red flag Danger! Never go in the water under any circumstances when the red flag is flying.

Orange windsock

VOLUNTEER DRIVERS NEEDED Come and join our team for one afternoon a month at Tewkesbury Baptist Church where we organise a social club for elderly visually impaired residents.

FREE TRAINING PROVIDED Contact Volunteer Organiser Christopher Chapman for an informal chat on 01684 293527 or mail@cchapman.co.uk

Indicates offshore or strong wind conditions. Never use inflatables when the windsock is flying. If the beach you’re at is not lifeguarded, please take extra care if you are going into the water. Remember a lot of beaches overseas do not provide lifeguards. During this hot weather you are reminded of the dangers of swimming in rivers, lakes, quarries, etc. The water is very cold and jumping in can cause “Cold Water Shock” which is a killer. - Fraser Gunn, RNLI Education Liaison Volunteer Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), a charity registered in England and Wales (209603)

Hyundai Gets Wacky A concept car is a good way for manufacturers to gauge public reaction to a design, prior to possible mass manufacture. One example is Ford’s Probe 3, which ultimately morphed into the Sierra. It may seem strange today but, in 1981, the public were initially reluctant to accept the jelly mould curves of the Probe, being more used to the square lines of the then current cars. How times and our expectations change. So they may seem wacky now but these concept offerings from Hyundai may eventually be accepted as the norm in our cars. • I.Guardian is a speed ramp that extends out of the side of school buses or taxis to slow traffic

as it passes. An interesting idea and anything that makes motorists adhere to those “20 is Plenty” signs outside schools is welcome in my book. • Moving Forest is a filter unit that sits on the top of Hyundai’s electric cars and cleans the air of dust and dirt. It looks like one of those ski shaped roof boxes and Hyundai suggest it could find a home in coaches and lorries. • Parents will relate to this idea - taking inspiration from kid’s finger painting on misted up windows, with Sketch Book, they now breathe on an interactive screen, do their doodling, which is then saved to the Cloud and can be accessed on other smart devices. Perhaps Sketch Book will keep the little ones so occupied that you in the front won’t hear from the back. “Are we there yet?” Time will tell. By Iain Betson

It’s Not Always Good To Be Green by Pippa Greenwood

Water features are great in a garden but the chances are that from time to time you will have been frustrated by the water turning green. Generally, this will be due to one of many different types of algae infestation, and will get worse during warmer weather, but what should you do about it? Blanket weed is long filaments of tangled algae, making a mass resembling a dense green blanket. Remove by pulling, raking or by using a stick or bamboo cane that you twirl into the algae, then compost it down in your compost bin. Surface floating pond weeds such as duckweed, which looks like lots of very tiny oval leaves floating on the water’s surface, can be a real nightmare too. It builds up very rapidly as a bright green surface layer and the best control is to regularly scrape the weed off using a good-sized kitchen sieve. Again it can be composted, but make sure you remove all of it or it will soon be back. Try to avoid the build-up of algae by creating your pond carefully and taking precautions with what you grow and keep in it. Avoid a Page 20

very sunny position, as lots of sunlight increases the algal growth. Bear in mind, however, that a pond close to trees will become clogged by leaves in autumn! Make sure that the pond is as deep as possible, as algal growth is much more likely in shallow water, and avoid putting in too many fish as their excreta raises the water’s nitrogen level, which encourages algae. Surface floating plants, particularly water lilies, will help to shade the water’s surface - ideal if the pond is in a fairly sunny site. You should also include a selection of oxygenating plants, available from your local garden centre or pond plant supplier. Some of these float in bundles in the water, others can be grown in containers, and all of them help raise the oxygen level in the pond and so decrease the algae problem. A spout or fountain will also oxygenate the water, but note that water lilies do not like water that is in motion. Note that if you keep changing the water in an attempt to keep it clear, the pond never gets the chances to create its own natural balance and the situation will not improve. Be patient and usually, provided

you try all the above, the pond will eventually sort itself out and clear water will return. You can use proprietary physical and chemical controls for algae, but make sure that whatever you choose is suitable and can be used safely around wildlife and your pond fish. Using barley straw to clear algae in ponds does work, but it is essential that the straw is from barley and no other cereal crop. If you can get hold of this, cram some into an old pair of tights and submerge in the water by weighing them down with several bricks. Alternatively, buy pads of barley straw (sometimes mixed with lavender stalks), and these will help do the job for you.

Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing at The Roses Theatre

MuchAdo Productions & Tewkesbury Arts & Drama Society Present William Shakespeare’s

Friday 18th August, 7.30pm & Saturday 19th August, 2.30pm and 7.30pm Created by Muchado Productions and Tewkesbury Arts & Drama Society, this production is going to be a thoroughly entertaining and accessible piece of Shakespeare. The original language has been maintained, but the story has been transported into the 1980s, complete with punks, new romantics, nods to blockbuster movies, and excerpts from a variety of 80's hits. The war is over and the 80s are in full swing. Duke Leonato is visited by Prince Pedro and his wingmen Benedick and Claudio. Claudio falls in love with the Duke’s daughter Hero and their marriage is agreed. Meanwhile, the Prince's punkish illegitimate sister contrives a malicious plot: Claudio is misled into thinking that he has witnessed Hero in a compromising situation on the night before their wedding...

Much Ado About NothiNg The Roses, Tewkesbury Fri 18 Aug 7.30pm • Sat 19 Aug 2.30pm & 7.30pm All tickets: £13.50

Will all be resolved in amongst the unfolding turmoil of 80's pop music?!

Using credit and debit cards abroad this year? What you should know before you go

Spending money abroad can be costlier than you think if you’re not prepared for the fees and ‘hidden’ charges. Whether you choose to take a debit or credit card, it pays to check the small print in your terms and conditions before you go - you could save a considerable amount in added interest and charges. Specialist credit and debit cards for overseas use only Rather than taking your ‘regular’ credit or debit card on holiday, look for specialist cards designed to be used abroad, as these are intended to reduce the cost of holiday spending. If you find one that’s suitable and your application is successful, however, just make sure you pay off the balance in full every month. The interest rates on these cards are extremely high if you don’t, which could wipe out any savings you’ve made. The best overseas credit cards generally offer much better exchange rates than local retailers. So if you use a credit card and you’re asked which currency you want pay in, choose the local currency as it’s likely to save you money – more on Dynamic Currency Conversion below. Credit cards for holiday spending are generally easier Page 24

to obtain than debit cards If your current bank doesn’t offer a specialist debit card for use abroad, you may have to switch your bank account to obtain one. Alternatively, you could just open a new account with the provider, but this might seem a little unnecessary when there is an easier alternative in credit cards. Be careful when you apply for a new card though - your credit file is adversely affected when applications are refused. The Money Saving Expert website offers an ‘eligibility calculator’ to give you an idea of your chances of acceptance, and help you narrow down the choices. Debit cards can be better if you’re going to withdraw mainly cash Although taking a dedicated credit card for use abroad has many benefits, if you intend to withdraw mainly cash, a specialist debit card will probably be cheaper overall as there are usually no added charges or fees for this. Be careful about card ‘cloning’ When you use a card abroad, or anywhere in fact, be aware of the danger of cloning. This can happen when the card is taken out of your sight, or even when it’s right in front of you if you aren’t taking notice. Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) Some retailers abroad will offer to convert your purchase into sterling when you pay by

card, so you can see exactly how much you’ve spent. This process is called dynamic currency conversion, or cardholder preferred currency. The problem is that you’ll probably lose out on the exchange rate by paying this way. Local retailers choose whether or not to offer this service, and in some cases may automatically convert your purchase to sterling without asking you. It’s a good idea, therefore, to check whether DCC has been used prior to signing a payment slip or entering your PIN. Avoiding the non-sterling transaction fee Although your bank uses the MasterCard, Visa and Amex optimum exchange rates, the charge for conversion adds a non-sterling transaction fee of up to 3% to your bill when you use a non-specialist card abroad. Finding the best card may take a little research, but your time and effort will be repaid via the extra holiday treats you’ll be able to enjoy. www.moneysavingexpert.com/ travel/travel-credit-cards www.moneysavingexpert. com/shopping/section75-protectyour-purchases www.moneysupermarket.com/ travel-money/using-credit-cardsabroad/ creditcards.moneysavingexpert. com/?travel&_ga=2.1383768 16.1530821389.1495096415200857501.1494082078 www.creditnet.com/Library/ Credit_Card_FAQ/How_do_ credit_cards_get_cloned. ccfaq_019.php

Home & Interiors Eco Chic at Home

Being an eco-warrior doesn’t have to be a battle. With a little thought and effort, you can decorate your home beautifully without harming the planet. Can ‘going green’ ever be stylish? Of course! While you might start with some basics, such as switching to LED light bulbs, insulating your loft or lagging your boiler, the end of your journey could be a chic, sophisticated home that’s filled with furnishings that are natural, sustainable and durable – in other words, minimising harm to the planet. From floors to ceilings, fabrics to accessories, small changes in your choices can create big eco-transformations. First, think about your priorities in terms of ways to help the environment. Should you aim to be low carbon, non-toxic or energy efficient? Renewable, fair trade, locally sourced, organic or simply ‘natural’? The answer is not always obvious but some simple research will help you weigh up your options. Page 30

By Katherine Sorrell

Look for labels, such as FSC to show timber has been responsibly sourced, or Goodweave that tells you a rug has not been woven by a child. Ask where things come from, what they contain, how they have been made. Buy from a specialist retailer with green credentials, look out for reclaimed, recycled or upcycled products, or buy antique or vintage pieces – they are often well made, good-looking and are certainly long-lasting; many would argue that they are the greenest of all, being the ultimate in recycling. Try to think less about what you think you need, and ask instead what you really don’t need. The three rules of green living are: reduce what you use; reuse what you can; and recycle as much as possible. So, rather than getting rid of things carelessly, consider how you could adapt them and give them another life. Perhaps you could re-cover an old sofa instead of buying a new one, clad the top of an old table with a thin sheet of marble, or repaint a kitchen chair, for example. When you do buy new, you may want to support local artisans or businesses (reducing your

carbon footprint in terms of import miles, too), or fair trade, co-operative or social initiatives overseas, which ensure fair pay and conditions for their workers. It is worth investigating eco choices for virtually everything around the house – from natural floorings such as sisal, cork, Marmoleum or wool carpets, to alternatives to cotton (which uses huge amounts of fresh water and pesticides) such as linen, hemp and alpaca. How much environmental harm does a product cause during production, and what toxins does it contain? Chemicals in paint, fabrics, synthetic carpets, plywood furniture and other man-made materials may ‘off gas’ for years, doing no one much good – another excellent reason to check the labelling. Lastly, bear in mind the beauty of natural materials, from oak and slate to bamboo and linen, in terms of both colour and texture. Subtle shades of browns, greys and off-whites, and tactile appeal that ranges from super-soft to satisfyingly knobbly – everything works together without your having to try too hard, and they will age gracefully, too, adding gentle good looks to your home for a long time to come.

Hospice launches appeal to refurbish county’s only inpatient unit A local hospice has launched a special appeal to help refurbish its specialist inpatient unit – the only one in the county providing specialist around the clock care for people across Gloucestershire with a life limiting condition. Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice based just outside Cheltenham has 16 beds giving expert hospice care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for people in the county living with cancer, lung disease, heart failure and neurological conditions. It is the only specialist unit providing palliative care for people from every corner of the county – from Gloucester to Cheltenham, from Stroud to Cirencester and from Tewkesbury to the Forest of Dean - and it is housed in a Grade II listed Cotswold manor house first purchased by Lady Ryder 40 years ago this year. To continue providing its specialist care in a home from home environment which meets the care standards of today the charity

RNLI.org

has an urgent need to invest in refurbishing the unit, but it estimates this could cost £110,000. That’s why the hospice has launched ‘The Big 40’ appeal to raise the funds needed for the work, without diverting existing funds away from the specialist care its team of doctors, nurses, specialists and volunteers provide. Elise Hoadley is Hospice Director at Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice. She said, “It was 40 years ago this year that Lady Ryder and a team of fundraisers, local businesses and volunteers from every corner of the county started their mammoth task of rebuilding and refurbishing the old manor house with the vision of creating a special place to provide compassionate care to people in the county. “That vision remains and as custodians of the wonderful legacy left by all those who were here at the very start, we have a duty to make sure we maintain this wonderful building in a way that retains its character whilst creating a bright and welcoming home from home for our patients and families.” “Refurbishing the unit by replacing flooring, completely redecorating, adding new electric points and

new bedside TVs and installing new hand washing facilities will mean we can continue providing a warm and welcoming place for Gloucestershire residents to come and receive our specialist care.” Mike Tague, Head of Hospice Fundraising at Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice added, "There are many ways people can support us in our Big 40 appeal, by making a donation or arranging a fundraising event to help raise funds towards our refurbishment plans - from coffee mornings to bake sales to sponsored events. £50 could install new electrical sockets with shaver points in a patient's bedroom, £200 could pay for a new bedside TV or £300 could completely redecorate one of our patient rooms making a difference to the welcoming environment we offer to those we care for." For more information on the appeal and to donate visit www.sueryder. org/leckhamptonbig40, email leckhampton.fundraising@sueryder. org or call 01242 246285. Any funds raised over and above the estimated cost of refurbishment will be used to fund existing projects or running costs at the hospice.

Thwarting the Hackers Reports of some big company being hacked and its users’ data compromised are almost daily news. It’s seems that it’s more a case of asking when a particular service will be hacked rather than if. That means taking precautions against the inevitable, the biggest one being to never, ever reuse the same password on more than one website. If you do, then if one website is hacked the baddies have the password for your other sites and services too. And while we’re at it, let’s make sure we don’t use easily guessable passwords either: the UK’s favourite password is currently 12345678. If you need to create strong passwords you’ll never remember, an online service such as 1Password or LastPass will do the remembering for you. Apple’s Safari can do the same on Macs, iPhones and iPads, although many third-party password services are available too.
