A SUMMER OF MEMORIES This month’s editor’s note comes from me, Sarah. I work with Anne at Glos Directories and have done so for several years, so I thought it’s time for me to introduce myself to you, our lovely readers. My goodness, it’s August already! As the schools have broken up for their long summer break, I’m hoping we keep this lovely weather so us parents and kids can make the most of it. It can be hard to find things to do to keep children entertained, particularly if you work, but a planned day out is always great to have in the diary. How about the Winchcombe Country Show, for example? It takes place on the bank holiday Monday and makes for a great family day out. See page 11 for more information. When I was a child (a long time ago now!), I used to be sent out in the morning after
a hearty breakfast and was told not to come back until tea time. Oh, the things we got up to! Building dens, climbing trees and swimming in the river to name but a few. Many a time I would come home to my mum looking bedraggled with scratches on my elbows and knees. Those memories will stay with me forever. Whilst children today are often drawn to their Xbox or PS4, it really doesn’t take that much to distract them if there’s something better to do. Take a look at the What’s On section in the back of this magazine for some ideas on what you could do with your family this summer. We’ll see you in September when it’ll be nearly Chri… (no, I’m not going to say it!).

Short Story
Stanley’s Toenails By Jackie Brewster “Did you bring the sausages?” Peggy whispered, opening the caravan door. “Course,” Susan said, “are you going to let me in?” Susan was not in the best of moods. Her mum and Stanley were at the seaside for their honeymoon, and this was the third time she’d had to drive over to see them. “What’s up this time?” she sighed. “It sounded pretty urgent.” “It’s him.” Peggy nodded towards Stanley who was hunched over a jigsaw. “He’s got something wrong with his toenails.” “What sort of something?” Susan said. “They’re a funny colour.” Peggy lit the grill. “Are you ready for a sausage cob, Stanley?” “I was born ready,” Stanley said, rubbing his belly. “Let’s have a look at these toenails first, shall we?” Susan said, “Pop your feet up on the couch Stanley.” With much grunting Stanley obliged. At the sight of his toenails, Susan grimaced. Every nail was the colour of creosote. “That is odd,” she agreed. “Have you dropped something on them?” “I don’t recall. I woke up like this.” He wiggled his toes. “They don’t hurt or nothing.” Susan studied the toenails and frowned. She reluctantly gave them a sniff. She 6
touched one with her fingertip. It was sticky. “Thank you, Stanley,” she said firmly. ”Mother, I’d like a word in private.” “There isn’t anywhere private,” Peggy said. “It’s a static.” “Let’s step outside,” Susan insisted. Peggy tutted and removed her apron. “Are they going to drop off?” Stanley called as Susan shut the door behind them. Once out of earshot, Susan turned to Peggy. “Three times you’ve dragged me out here,” she said. “What’s all this about?” “That first time I’d forgotten my readers,” Peggy said. “And the second time?” Susan said. “When you thought there was a mouse?” “Just because you couldn’t find it didn’t mean there wasn’t one,” Peggy said. “Maybe,” Susan nodded, “but can you tell me why Stanley has got brown sauce on his toenails?” “Sauce?” Peggy feigned surprise. “I’m guessing you put it there,” Susan said. “Why would I do a thing like that?” “Is someone keeping an eye on the sausages?” Stanley popped his head out the window.
“They’re lovely Susan, from the butcher’s on the parade.” “Just give them a turn, Stan,” Peggy called irritably. “What does he mean – the butcher’s on the parade?” Susan said. “I brought those sausages just like you asked me to, like I’ve done every time.” “Hush,” Peggy whispered, “Stanley doesn’t know.” “Don’t tell me you’ve dragged me all the way out here just to bring sausages?” Susan folded her arms. “Don’t be cross, Susie.” Peggy patted her daughter’s hand. “When we got here I needed a bit of time to myself, so I went for a walk. And when I got back I said I’d been to fetch sausages. I didn’t want to offend him, you see. I just cooked up the sausages I’d brought from home.”

“So?” Susan said. “He liked them so much he keeps asking for more,” Peggy moaned, “and there isn’t even a butcher’s on the parade.” “Mum, you’ve got to own up,” Susan sighed. “He’ll think he’s married a compulsive liar,” Peggy said. Susan laughed. “He’d be right, wouldn’t he?” “I’ll tell him the butcher has sold out,” Peggy offered, “but what about his toenails?” “Have him paddle in the sea,” Susan suggested. “It’ll wash off and he’ll think he’s cured.” “You’re a lifesaver.” Peggy gave her daughter a squeeze. “I’d better get back to Stanley’s sausages.” “You’re welcome Mum,” Susan smiled. “Don’t forget to ask him if he wants brown sauce.”

Local Event
Winchcombe Country Show - Mon 27th Aug Bank Holiday Monday 27th August, 12 noon - 5.30pm at Winchcombe School Playing Fields, Greet Road
Tickets will be £5 for adults and £2 per child. Family tickets (two adults and up to 3 children) will be £12.
This year’s Winchcombe Country Show, now in its 69th year, promises to be a fantastic day out for everyone. The main event will be Parkour Live, an incredible team of athletes, who provide a showcase of what is humanly possible using body power alone. Think Ninja warrior, Spiderman and the James Bond stunt team - combine all three and that gives you Parkour Live!
All helpers are welcome, so if you would like to help on the day, please call Amy on 01242 300347.
The traditional Flower Show will have over 140 classes on offer, from cookery, arts and crafts, and photography to stunning flower displays and there will be entertainment throughout the day, including Punch and Judy, morris dancing, street entertainment, tango dancing, and many other activities. There will also be plenty of opportunities for your dogs to participate in the terrier racing, novelty dog show and the dog agility course.
On Sunday 26th August we will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of Run Winchcombe. There will be special commemorative medals to participants in the 10k Hill Climb, the Sudeley 5k Fun Run and the Kids 1k. Please check out the WCS website at www.winchcombeshow.org.uk for all show details.

KEEPING SAFE AT THE BEACH THIS SUMMER Most beachgoers will have an enjoyable and relaxing time when they visit the beach this summer. So when something goes wrong, who can help? RNLI Lifeboat Volunteers can respond within minutes, and often save lives close to the shore. But sometimes, at the beach, seconds count. This is where RNLI Lifeguards play a vital role, they can respond instantly if dangers develop. 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 visit a Lifeguarded Beach. Make sure you and your family have a safe and fun trip to the coast. If lifeguards are on patrol, then you’ll need to know your flags: RED AND YELLOW FLAG Lifeguarded area. Safest area to swim/bodyboard. BLACK AND WHITE CHEQUERED FLAGS 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. During offshore or strong wind conditions. Never use inflatables when the windsock is flying. 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. Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), a charity registered in England and Wales (209603)

ANDREW DAVIES – LOCAL VIDEO PRODUCER It is hard to believe that two years have gone by since I was deep in the production process of the DVD Winchcombe: A Cotswold Town. The year-in-the-life-of film seems to have been received well in the town and I would like to say a huge thank you to all those who took part in it, stocked it in their shops, or bought it. One result was being commissioned by Tewkesbury Borough Council to make a short promo film about Winchcombe for showing on the Winchcombe website. I was also introduced by local author Jean Bray to Lady Ashcombe, which led to me substantially revising the Sudeley ‘Welcome’ film. I was then commissioned to produce five more videos for the brilliant ‘Sudeley 1000’ exhibition. If you haven’t been up to the castle for a while, it is well worth a visit. Currently, and by contrast, I am working with another amazing Winchcombe company, Glosfume, who are world leaders in manufacturing clean-air filtration units for heavy industry. With over 1,000 installations in 60 countries, just think what a contribution they are making to cutting pollution levels worldwide. Most of my career has been spent working for London-based big companies, so it has been a great experience and honour to present the wealth of creativity, history and ingenuity we have here on our doorsteps. If you are interested in any of my company’s services you can find out more at www.cgvp.co.uk.

6 years of full-time broadcasting Radio Winchcombe has just celebrated six years of full-time broadcasting, and those years have been extremely successful. Not only has the station maintained a full programme schedule, it has also acquired an excellent reputation for the quality of its output locally and regionally. Over time personnel has changed, with a core of dedicated programme-makers still here from the start, and new presenters have joined the Radio Winchcombe team.

An ambition of Radio Winchcombe has always been to extend its on-air coverage which is dictated by its OFCOM licence. The opportunity to apply for this has come up and an application has been made. Should this be granted later in the year a second transmitter would extend our range towards Bishop's Cleeve. Watch this space, or should I say listen!
• Corns • Callus/Cracked Heels • Fungal Infections/Thickened Nails • Ingrown Toe Nails • General Foot Care/Nail Cutting

The varied programme includes shows such as the weekly Folk Show with Kevin O, which often sees the rather “cosy” studio bursting with performers and their instruments, or Jane Stovell's weekly Country Show, playing a range of Country music. One of the stations newest presenters is Lewis Nicholls who interviews celebrities and has an amazing access in all areas. Lewis came to us from Cornwall, where he did a similar show for Community Radio. Offers of further involvement are always welcome! To fully appreciate Radio Winchcombe's output, one should consult www.radiowinchcombe.co.uk where a copy of the weekly schedule can be found.
