SPEEDWAY

PIRATES

PIRATES - GRAB SILVER AND GOLD!

IN A REMARKABLE WEEK of frantic speedway action the POOLE PIRATES snatched the Elite League Championship title for the sixth time and became the second best club in the World. In just three days of October the beloved boys in blue and white reinforced their mantle as Britain’s top speedway team and the most successful side of this millennium. Having battled adversity on the track, even the weather turned against the mighty side as the traditional end of season play-offs were postponed three times in Dorset due to a rain soaked track. But when the racing resumed, for a grand final showdown between the Pirates and the Coventry Bees, it was the skull and crossbones that was hauled to the top of the mast. In a display of determination and massive commitment, Matt Ford’s proud septet took the top step of the podium on the final night of the season to retain the championship that they had boldly claimed twelve months previously. In between the first and second legs of the final, and just two days prior to that memorable night, the Pirates had travelled to Poland for the inaugural staging of the European Club Championship where they were to meet the league winners of the domestic competitions of Poland, Denmark and Sweden. The contest was a one-off final to decide the best ‘club’ team in World speedway. It was a time to dig deep for Ford’s men and in the final reckoning Pirates narrowly missed out on the gold medal on the day. But they still brought honour back to the UK, and the town of Poole, by securing the silver medal as runners up.

It had been a life-long dream for Promoter Matt Ford to see the Pirates competing on that International stage and, even though it was silver not gold, he wasn’t disappointed. Speaking immediately after the awards ceremony he said, “I am delighted with the result; it means so much to me to see the club win a world championship medal. This event has had its problems on the way, but at long last we have realised a dream. I was immensely proud to actually be able to field a team full of club assets and I can’t praise them enough. They pulled on those Poole colours and gave it their all; you really couldn’t have asked any more of them. Now I’d like to think that maybe we can go one better next year but right now I am going to savour this moment, second in the world is not bad.” After a dash back to base for his date with the Bees, Ford was cautious in his approach to the climax of the Elite Final.

score of fourteen points on the night. It was fitting that, when the moment came in the deciding race of the duel, it was Janowski who conjured up a magical pass on his opponents to snatch a 3 point victory to secure the title for Poole. The reaction was sensational, sending the Pirates fans into a celebration that might just last all winter! Ford summed up his feelings on a difficult year at the helm with a sigh of relief, “I am so proud of these guys. It’s been a really tough year but the lads have done what has become expected of them when they pull on a Poole race jacket. They have ridden their hearts out and to win back-to-back titles again is a great feeling. The lads did a professional job tonight and I can’t praise them highly enough. Adding this league title to the world speedway league runners-up has made the last few days something of a dream.”

“You will not see any singing or dancing from the Pirates with such a dangerous opponent visiting Wimborne Road. Our rivalry with Coventry is well known, and in manager Gary Havelock the Bees have a real winner at the helm and we must be extremely wary.” Despite Pirates having a three point lead going into their home leg on the 20th October they were well aware of the dangers of a Coventry fight-back. Earlier in the year the Bees had overturned a 12 point deficit in Dorset to win by a single point in May. Ford’s confidence in his Captain Maciej Janowski was well founded, however, as the pole star again responded to duty, leading the team with a faultless display to nett him a top

“THE 2ND XV HAD A GREAT WIN OVER WIMBORNE RECENTLY WHICH ONLY SHOWS THE STRENGTH IN DEPTH WE ARE SLOWLY ACHIEVING”

BOURNEMOUTH RFC BUILDING BLOCKS o, it is a quarter of the way through the season and after a difficult start there have been some real signs of progress. We have started to get some continuity in our play and with the forwards setting a strong platform, the backline has been able to gel. With several experienced players leaving in the summer, we knew it was going to be a stiff and sudden learning curve, however the players have worked exceptionally hard and over recent weeks are starting to reap the rewards of that hard work. We are however under no illusions that we have plenty to work on, but as we have said in several team meetings the building blocks are slowly falling into place. Off the pitch, there have been some changes. Unfortunately we have lost the services of Peter Short and Richard “Butch” Carrel. They have both worked exceptionally hard over the last couple of seasons and have been valued members of the coaching team. We wish them every success outside Bournemouth RFC and fingers crossed will see them return in the near future. To compensate this loss we have the return of Tim Collier and Dan Connelly. Both are stalwarts to the Club and their input and enthusiasm is very much respected. Tim has donned his boots and adds his vast experience, we hope it is only a matter of time that Dan joins him! We were fortunate enough recently to have Rob Elloway on loan from Cornish Pirates and I must take this opportunity to thank him for his professional attitude, he was invaluable to us both on and off the pitch. We are extremely hopeful of another signing in the next week where Mike Pope will join us again on loan. Those of you who have been supporting the Club long enough will remember what an outstanding player he was when he started at Bournemouth RFC first as a Colt and then an instrumental Senior.

WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK

Talking of the Colts, we are very pleased to announce that Ben Meadon has been selected in the Bedford Academy and likewise Charlie Morris-Mean at Bath RFC. It shows the incredible work and effort that the Junior and Colt coaches are putting in and we are truly blessed with such a first class setup. Ben was not only a strong Colt but also played 1st & 2nd XV matches last Season. We are very hopeful Charlie will be involved in the 1st XV squad over the coming weeks, having excelled at Colt level last Season. The 2nd XV had a great win over Wimborne last week which only shows the strength in depth we are slowly achieving. We have had a number of BU players and Brockenhurst College players sign in recent weeks which have not only bolstered the 1s and 2s but likewise the 3s & 4s who are still managing to field successful teams on a regular basis. The effort from players and those behind the scenes ensuring this continues, can only be commended. It was nice to be back at Chapel Gate last weekend after several long coach journeys and it is was a game we were very much looking forward to and the win was a bonus.

THE PERSONAL TOUCH

by sean burgess (msc) With the last quarter of 2014 now upon us, regurgitating the most obvious statement you will hear during this time of year is almost unavoidable. With the risk of losing readers straight away in mind, let me just say it quickly ‘Christmas is coming’; meaning for many the impending marathon walk around the high street shops is soon to become a reality. One behavioural pattern that I always find interesting to observe during this season is Christmas seems to be the only time of year that when hitting the sales, many, typically quite out of character, accompany each shopping day out with much more indulgent food and drink. Ok, so it’s not rocket science as they say to work out why this is, with the usual seasonal increase in marketing efforts from big and small business and, the general escalation of enticing food housed within the freshly placed market stalls it’s no great surprise that our eating habits change I suppose. Of course we all appreciate that eating a Christmas mince pie or drinking a mulled wine is generally not the healthiest nutritional choice, however many don’t often give a second thought about the consequences of consuming these seasonal novelties whilst moving around on the go. Right now you’re probably hypothesising in your own head where my next discussion point is going, if you guessed a short discussion on why it is bad to always eat on the move then well done. However, aside from just looking into why eating on the move is not great for your health, the rest of the article will additionally discuss the best ways to initially satisfy and then maintain your appetite when those all day credit card spending sprees do come around. I love hearing over exaggerated nutrition facts that are put out there to scare us - in an amusing conversation I had recently an individual said to me ‘I hear its bad to have too many sugar rushes in one day because you could get heart disease’, my response was ‘sugar rushes don’t exist, it’s a placebo effect which tricks the mind and body’. It’s true look it up; before you start screaming at the page, I did also recommend not going over the recommended daily sugar allowances for females (20 grams) as it can contribute towards heart disease. The point to my little story is don’t panic too much when I now tell you about why you shouldn’t eat on the move, most, including myself, do it every day we often have no choice due to very busy lifestyles. I can assure you now it is not the primary contributor to the countrys’ poor health or excessive weight gain, but for those who are trying to change their body composition and size it definitely does not help.

The driving factor behind why it’s bad to eat on your feet is your body metabolises foods better when you consume each meal or snack over a longer period of time, which commonly happens when we sit down to eat. Remember, foods or parts of a food that cannot be metabolised properly (typically unwanted fats and sugars) usually end up getting stored in the body’s cells and tissues. Consequently this internal storage naturally leads to weight gain and long term might hinder your lymphatic (waste disposal) system from working correctly, which itself leads to a cellulite build up, skin issues and many hard to shift fat stores emerging. This chain of events which can lead to a gain in body fat is particularly more prevalent for those with a slow metabolism, but this does not mean those with fast metabolism have nothing to worry about either. Physical symptoms such as cramps, bloating and an unsettled stomach can all be common amongst each demographic of metabolism group. Further on from the physical reactions there is also a common psychological and physiological consequence of eating on the move that applies to all populations, which is naturally an increased tendency to eat snack based foods. Why? Well, the obvious answer is most foods eaten on the go are often processed (simple) carbohydrates such as white flour baguettes, wraps, hot foods such as burgers or pizza slices (white bread) and smaller items such as cereal bars to name a few, all of which rank highly on the glycaemic index (GI). If you are unaware of what the GI represents it means that the carbohydrate content of these consumed foods will enter your bloodstream almost straight away rapidly raising your body’s blood sugar levels. In turn this often leads to a quick feeling of being full up, but within a short time after first eating due to a rapid drop in your insulin levels you are subsequently left with a feeling of hunger again, which is shown by studies to happen within 30 to 90 minutes. To re-balance this negative equation, it is important then that we keep our appetites stimulated for longer period of time, especially throughout those long shopping trips. Believe it or not, you can achieve this and not amass an increase in body fat! Yes it’s true but how I hear you ask, detailed are just a few simple tips to keep your scales looking friendlier this month.

When to eat…

The primary tip: Eat something regularly every 2 to 3 hours to stop your body from becoming malnourished and breaking down. If you haven’t heard this one before where have you been living? It’s true not eating regularly enough will negatively compromise your physical and psychological capabilities as well as leaving your immune system open to attack. If you’re out shopping just breaking for 5 minutes to eat some fruit or a small meal will make a world of difference to your day out.

No matter what your goal is, try to remember that breakfast should always be your biggest most calorific meal of the day, as this is when your body is most malnourished following sleep. A slightly higher percentage intake of carbohydrates and especially protein in the morning really will boost your energy levels during the succeeding hours.

Drink water every time your thirst needs quenching, remember just being 2% dehydrated will result in a physical and mental performance drop.

What to eat…

Remember for optimal energy levels at every meal where possible your food plate should be broken down as 50% carbohydrates, 25% protein and 25% fats, vitamins and minerals.

Sounds predictable again but wholegrain or wholewheat foods (complex carbohydrates) are one of the best ways to provide a sustained source of energy, as they slowly release glucose into the bloodstream which prevents big insulin crashes and allows the body to continue burning fat. Good examples of whole-wheat foods include porridge oats, muesli, SPELT pasta and oat or rye crackers. Aside from wheat, natural starches (complex carbohydrates) and small amounts of essential fats omega 3 and 6 can also be found in seeds, nuts, roots (lentils, root veg), corn and potatoes.

As stated in previous articles the best source of proteins for boosting muscle recovery and your energy levels are ‘complete proteins’ which have all 20 amino acids. Good examples of complete proteins are meats such as chicken and beef, most fish and dairy foods such as eggs.

Remember a regular daily fruit and vegetable intake is essential however always buy organic where possible for greater health benefits still. Ok, so you regular Personal Touch readers are probably thinking what is this guy on, where am I going to find organic chicken with wholegrain pasta and vegetables when out Christmas shopping. The answer is you probably won’t and if your sweet tooth really is too weak, one crepe in town probably won’t do too much harm. Just remember the above article is directed more at giving you tips on sustaining your appetite so you can avoid a bit more of those seductive bad foods over the Christmas break.

MOTORCYCLING

PHOTOGRAPHY: IAN BOLDY

We’re speaking to local children and young people taking part in different sports across the area to ask about why they like to compete, what their goals are for the future and how others can give it a go in our ‘One to watch’ feature. Name Sport

Georgina Polden Motorcycling

i Georgina, tell us how you first got into motorcycling and how it came about? My Dad and Mum own a motorcycle shop, so you could say that I have been brought up with Motorcycles. My brother got me riding a PW50 and LT50 Quad as soon as I was able to ride a pushbike - I was around 4. I then progressed onto a Stomp pit bike and then when I was 10, I was bought a Kawasaki KX65 for Christmas and my Brother started taking me to Moto X. I progressed through the classes and took part in Weston Beach race when I was 13 on a Suzuki RM85 and managed to finish the race. At the end of 2012, I bought a Honda as I was going to take part in the GT Cup with my brother, I did the first few meetings but I wasn’t really enjoying it, so I asked my dad if I could try a Superteen Race. We chose Easter weekend 2013 at Donnington, it had snow on the edge of the track and it was really cold. In the second race I managed to get 3rd in the Nitro newcomers. I then had the decision to make Road Racing or Moto X and after speaking with my brother, I decided Road Racing was the path I wanted to follow. 2013 was a learning curve; my dad and brother would take me on track days to help with the corner speeds and I went to Spain on a track day with my brother just before the beginning of the season and everything fell into place from there. I started getting the results. I am still learning every race.

WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK

Your family are very much into the sport with your father and brother both racers…was this the main influence for your choice of sport that you wanted to pursue? I originally started off playing football in a boys team, then I got into a girls football team, but as I had started doing Moto X, I was finding it hard to do both things. Sometimes football would clash with Moto X meetings, so I had to choose and Moto X took preference. Congratulations on your recent win in the Aprilia Superteen Challenge, how does it feel to make history by becoming the first female to win this race? Sometimes it just feels so unreal that I have done this in such a male dominated sport, but when I am out on the track, being female doesn’t come in to it, I just give 110%. It’s something I enjoy and just want to succeed in. I feel proud of what I have achieved and hopefully it will encourage other girls to come into the sport. The Aprilia Superteens Challenge is a great series to start racing in with Thundersport GB Club. Where is your favourite race track? Favourite track is probably Anglesey or Assen which I recently rode for the 1st time with BSB, it is a fast and flowing track, which I love. Can you describe how it feels when you’re out racing? Words can’t really describe how it feels, it’s exciting knowing the speeds you can go around corners and a big thrill in getting your knee down and just racing. The buzz is just there every time I go out on the track, I enjoy every race. Which do you prefer, Motocross or Road Racing? I prefer Road Racing, I feel racing is closer and going at high speeds is a good feeling. I still enjoy Moto X, but I only do that for fun now. What other sports to you enjoy to watch or take part in? I enjoy cycling and going to the Gym. When I was at school, Badminton was always my favourite.

You’re a regular visitor to Poole and the surrounding area, where do you like to go when visiting? I love going down to the Harbour, especially on Tuesday nights in the summer when it is bike night. It’s fascinating to see so many different bikes. When I was younger, we used to go into Poole Pottery and paint pots and different plaques. I still have a plaque of a pig on a motorcycle that I painted there years ago. We would also go crab fishing on the Harbour. What are you training for next and what are your hopes and goals for the future? I’m training for next year’s season in the BSB Motul Motostar Championship. My hopes are to get a decent top 5 finish in the Championship and get a wild card ride in the Moto 3, Moto GP and then hopefully getting a full time ride with Moto GP. I have already had a podium finish in BSB at Thruxton where I finished 3rd In GP125 class. Finally, what would you say to other young people wanting to get into this sport? Get along to an ACU test course to get your road racing licence and then try the Aprilia Superteen class. I can guarantee that you will have so much fun. It’s a great series you can start at 12 years of age and the racing is so close. I always used to think that Road Racing was boring compared to Moto X until I had a go in the Superteens, now I look forward to every race. It’s hard to believe that 18 months ago, I just wanted to give Road Racing a try and now I have finished 2nd in the Superteen Championship and 1st in the girls Buff championship as well as racing in BSB in the Motul Motostar on a GP125 bike. If it’s something you have always dreamt of, whether you’re female or male, give it a try and I can guarantee you won’t look back. Thank you for talking to us, Georgina. We wish you continued success with your sport in the future. PHOTO: BONNIE LANE

TOUCH RUGBY

Female

FOCUS WE’RE SPEAKING TO LOCAL WOMEN INVOLVED IN DIFFERENT SPORTS ACROSS THE AREA TO FIND OUT THEIR MOTIVATION, PASSION AND STORY ABOUT THEIR DESIRE TO COMPETE Local touch rugby team, the Tena Ladies, joined the Oakmeadian’s O2 Touch section this summer bringing yet another fantastic team and opportunity for women to get involved with this popular sport. The Tena Ladies was formed in 2013 by a group of mums who wanted to enter the Oaks Touch Festival. They enjoyed the game and the camaraderie that comes from being part of a team so much that they continued to play and train together, growing in numbers and experience. Touch sessions are at Meyrick Park from 10 -11.30am on Saturday mornings for ladies of all abilities, from absolute beginners through to experienced players, where the emphasis will be on having fun and improving skills. The group will also be entering the newly formed league and local festivals. Team manager Chrissie said, “The Tena’s are really pleased to be part of Oakmeadian’s Touch, where we have always received such a warm welcome. We are all about fun and friendship and don’t care how good (or bad) someone is at catching a ball, as long as they are enthusiastic and have a good sense of humour. With the majority of our members being mums, we are sympathetic to family commitments and children are very welcome to come along and have their own play session while we train.”

WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK

Season update from Chief Tena, Chrissie ‘Drinkerbell’ Beatty

Since we joined Oakmeadian’s RFC O2 Touch section, we have been thrilled to see an increase in our numbers which has added to the value of our training sessions. The Tena Ladies have also been enjoying the social aspects that being part of a rugby club brings! We took part in a mini festival with other teams from Oaks, Bournemouth Touch and a touring side from Droitwich. This provided valuable game experience in preparation for the league matches we have coming up. In recognition of my work within women’s rugby, I was invited to attend the launch of the new RFU Ladies Initiative at The House of Commons. I met the England Women’s World Cup Team, fresh from their success at the World Cup, as well as ministers and RFU Officials and heard first hand of the plans to grow the game. The Tena Ladies would like to thank the local rugby community for all the support we have been given, and in turn, we are doing all that we can to support Dorset’s new Wheelchair Rugby Team, The Dorset Destroyers. If any ladies would like more information, they can contact Chrissie on 07914 867321 or via email at mimsyb@sky.com

Oakmeadians 02 TOUCH Update with Jason Cunningham In a recent update with Oakmeadians O2 Touch Coach, Jason Cunningham, Jason reports that Oaks O2 Touch have grown this September and have been very busy of late. Many new players have registered with the section this with a pleasant increase in the number of ladies. Recently, Oaks Touch held an ETA coaching day with England player and coach, Ben Powell for 40 players, as well as facilitated a training camp for the England Ladies team. Due to the Oaks’ close links with the councils Coastal Activity Park, they were able to secure beach training thanks to Bournemouth Council on Saturday morning, a ladies coaching session at Oakmeadians RFC, followed by matches. Sunday saw a secret training camp held at the Oak Academy & Leaf Studio school where use of their super new training facilities were put to good use including Britain’s only indoor beach volley ball courts.

DORSET FIT-TEST

BEST OF THE BEST

HELD IN SANDBANKS, DORSET

& SAVE £65 ON ENTRY

The Stour Course: Playgolf Bournemouth’s par-3 nine-hole short course is tucked away behind the main Bridge course and is a brilliant environment to sharpen your short-game across a variety of distances, angles, obstacles and green sizes, for only £6. The holes range from the 76-yard 4th to the 150-yard 2nd which allows the player to comfortably practice their approach play and pitching. The Bridge Course: Opened by European Ryder Cup legend Colin Montgomerie, the 18-hole par-72 Bridge Course has something for every golfer, whether a recreational , social player or a seasoned professional, from just £12 for 18 holes. Golfers are also able to navigate the course in style by hiring an EZ Buggy from just £12. Measuring at 5,902 yards on the white tees, the course consists of a mixture of open fairways and tight greens guarded by trees and bunkers, with the feature hole, the 9th, testing players’ mettle with a green protected by water on the left hand side and two bunkers down the right side of the putting surface, a rewarding par for all but the most ambitious of players. For the average golfer, the Bridge Course is a great place to improve your golf and the par-4s represent a chance to get some low scores on the board. More accomplished players will be on the hunt for birdies on these holes, particularly on the 8th, 10th, 13th and 16th. It has also been known for the 18th green to be driven in one, with one of the club Pros Dan Clark making a hole-in-one after cutting the corner of the hole by clearing the water hazard down the left. Regular players will also fancy their chances on the par-5s; the 1st, 6th and 12th. The course is in fantastic condition; the fairways and greens are in great shape and players need to keep their ball out of the challenging rough to avoid a battle to save par or worse. Bunkers around the Bridge Course are well kept and test players’ bravery and execution; the 252 yard par-4 13th, in particular, with a greenside bunker sitting in front of the short grass. Overall, the Bridge Course suits golfers of all standards; a great learning environment for inexperienced players as well as providing the opportunity for strong golfers to shoot some low scores.

The Kitchen Club Modern golf clubs are developing their clubhouses and facilities to cater for commercial usage and Playgolf Bournemouth is one of the front runners in Dorset with The Kitchen Club restaurant, complete with function rooms available for private hire. Diners are met with a pleasing view of the Bridge Course feature hole, the par-3 ninth, before browsing an extensive menu headlined by a choice of trademark pizzas made in their custom woodfired oven. The Kitchen Club caters for all meals of the day with a wide selection of snacks and dishes including; cooked breakfasts, pastas, meats, salads and sandwiches. The pizzas are traditionally prepared and boast a delicious blend of ingredients and toppings which complement each other beautifully. Stylish presentation will please your eyes before your taste buds are submerged by a wave of flavour and satisfaction. The Kitchen Club ticks all the boxes whether you’re visiting for a standalone meal or if you’re fresh off the course after a round. The Club Shop: Often the first thing you see when you enter the clubhouse of a golf course and Playgolf Bournemouth fits in to this trend, but their open reception area welcomes visitors without them having to duck and weave through equipment and clothing, a good first impression. The club shop itself stocks a variety of different equipment and clothing, including ladies clothing brand Nivo, allowing golfers to resupply and kit themselves out before heading out onto the course. Practice Facilities: Practice makes perfect and there a few better facilities to do so in Dorset than the Driving Range at Playgolf Bournemouth. A two-tier, heated, 40-bay centre allows players to practice hitting to a variety of distances and greens, with a number of targets to test all areas of a player’s game from wedge to driver. Srixon range balls are used in the facility and a select few of the practice bays are fitted with fully-functional, automatic ball machines to streamline practice sessions. The centre also boasts a well-kept, floodlit putting green allowing players to practice their putting and chipping from a range of distances.

Playgolf Bournemouth is one of the top golf centres in Dorset and it’s easy to see why. It offers the full package to its visitors and offers all of its services at competitive prices, representing outstanding value for money. The centre should be top of your list of places to go. 2020 WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK

The Modern Club The seeds were sown back in 1934/5 when East Dorset Rugby Football Club was formed. Unfortunately this club was rudely curtailed by the onset of World War II. It was not until 1948 that a reforming of the club took place under the Old Wimbornians supported by the Old Wimborne Grammar School. In 1950, after a meeting at the Griffin Hotel (now a block of flats) next to Wimborne Station (now a market), opposite Andys’ Cafe (now houses) it was decided to form Wimborne Rugby Football Club (incorporating the Old Wimbornians). This meeting was attended by a number of famous ‘old boys’ including Maurice Herridge, Ivor Hilliam, Bill Williams, Gunner Holman, Douggie Harrison (who went on to be the 59th President of the RFU) and others. The original minutes of this meeting showed that the club colours would be ‘all black’ with white collars and sock tops – this was done primarily because it was cheap. The logo depicted Wimborne Minster. Early fixtures were held at Merley Camp (now Flight Refuelling Social Club) and at the Hanhams ground (which became the town cricket pitch, and is now home to Waitrose). In 1963 the club moved lock, stock and barrels (!) to Leigh Park where the club remains to date. The club includes two bars plus a large function hall. The Harrison room is dedicated to Douggie Harrison 1911-1989.

SURFING / LEISURE

BOURNEMOUTH BASED LEGEND, SURFER AND CREATOR OF THE FAMOUSLY REFRESHING ‘JIMMY’S ICED COFFEE’, JIM CREGAN, TALKS TO US ABOUT HIS JOURNEY TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD AND HOW HIS EXPERIENCE IN TASMANIA FUELLED THE INSPIRATION FOR HIS DELICIOUS DRINKS BRAND. Name Jim ‘Jimmy’ Cregan Sport Surfing Hi Jimmy, thanks for talking to us. Tell us how you first got into surfing… Hey! Well, I grew up in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates so we had warm water all year round and being 5 minutes drive from the beach, it made sense to surf. The waves are small, but it was super fun. What made you decide to up sticks and go down under? Having a bad paying, directionless job in the middle of winter in the UK is about enough to make you do something different! Did you travel to some good surf spots in Tasmania? Yes. If I mention any, I’ll be killed. Okay, one…a left point called Tam O’ Shanters. That was fun.

WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK

How did your love for Iced Coffee start? At a petrol station in Adelaide. I saw it in the fridge, I bought it because it looked ace, and I took it outside and necked the lot. It was blimin’ brilliant! Can you remember when that love for the drink turned into a business idea? Once I had become addicted to the Iced Coffee, I thought, ‘Hey! This doesn’t exist in the UK, but it should!’ That’s when I tried franchising/licensing the brand I fell in love with, but they weren’t interested…. shame! Your cool product is now well established in some big chains and we’ve seen it more and more across the area, do you have any plans to expand out to more areas or launch new varieties? Hell yes! We’ve got our mocha samples arriving tomorrow (at time of interview) which we’re so stoked for and there’s been a great deal of demand for a strong version too. We’re looking at cold black coffee in cans, 1 litre versions and even Iced Cream. The list goes on, but it’s gotta be good! Do you find much time to get out on the water? In all honesty, not enough, but that does make you only go on days when it’s going to be really good. I’d rather have one epic surf in a month than 4 or 5 rubbish ones. Although, it’s never really rubbish… Where is your favourite spot locally to surf…and around the world? Locally there are heaps. I’d go Highcliffe or Southbourne as it’s not too crowded. In the world, I’d go back to Tassie. I like crystal clear cold water surfing.

So when you’re not surfing or running an extremely successful brand, what do you like to get up to? Where can we find you hanging out? Ha ha! Thanks. Well, I’ll be with my wife and boy walking along the seafront or taking a wee road trip into the forest for a belter lunch and a walk. I’m a big fan of Boscanova, Little Pickle, Urban Reef and Koh Thai. They’re all so awesome. What would you say to others wanting to try surfing and where do you recommend for people locally to get involved? Do it. Get to Sorted or Surfsteps at Boscombe and have a play. It’s ace. We do surf lesson volunteering too on the weekend for kids who deserve a chance at surfing and that’s super fun. If you’d like to get involved, check out The Wave Project. Finally, how did your ‘KYCU’ - Keep Your Chin Up strapline come about? On the drive over to our designers house, I was thinking that we needed a strap line and then wham, it smacked my in the face and I’ve loved it ever since! Thank you for talking to us, Jimmy. We wish you continued success with your delicious Iced Coffee and your surfing. www.jimmysicedcoffee.com FB/ jimmysicedcoffee INSTA/ @jimmysicedcoffee TW/ @jimmyicedcoffee #KEEPYOURCHINUP #KYCU

MEET THE PRO

WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK

Eat Sleep Train Repeat This month’s Meet the Pro interview is with up and coming female fighter, Molly McCann. We ask Molly how her love for her sport all began, her training and coaching at Jeff Lawson’s top MMA gym, Ippon and her ambitions for her future.

ell us a bit about your background Molly, how did you get into your sport? From a very young age, I was a very hyperactive kid and I could never settle so my mum literally threw me into every sport to try and relax me. I started off with Karate, then kickboxing then Thai and finally found boxing. I quit boxing to pursue a professional career playing football for Liverpool but injury stopped my career and I moved back to boxing. I boxed throughout Uni and when I left, I found MMA and have stuck with that ever since. What styles do you fight and which is your favourite? Obviously boxing is the big one as it’s my bread and butter but I’ve really started to get into wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. Tell us about your big wins… I fought at the Echo Arena in Liverpool which is a 20,000 seater stadium. It was on Cage Warriors, Europe’s leading MMA promotion. I’ve won a couple of British Titles; I must have just turned 18 when I fought in the seniors of the ABAs which is the National boxing competition and I fought a 31 year old in the final. As an 18 year old, it was my first senior competition I won; it was a big win for me. Which victory stands out the most? Most probably the ABA final which I’ve just mentioned. In the semi finals, you’re both on one after the other so I was on first and then I watched her fight after me. She stopped the girl in 7 seconds. I was taking my wraps off whilst watching her come into the ring. As I finished my wrap, I looked up and saw her stop the girl. Watching your opponent absolutely destroy someone and it being your first senior competition, was very nervewracking. She was 31 and the strongest she’d ever be. In the first round, I smashed her. I was 4-0 up in the second round. It was 5-4 in the last and it was like a Rocky moment when he fought Ivan Drago - I punched her and I saw blood and knew she could be defeated. I won the fight. I was the first female from our gym, the Golden Gloves, back in Liverpool. That year, 9 female scousers went to the tournament and 8 won. So, it was a really good year for female boxing in Liverpool. What brought you to Bournemouth and to Ippon Gym? I’d been to and fro between Liverpool and Bournemouth since a very young age. My family used to come down a lot for holidays and I’d stay for longer and longer and never really moved back properly. When I was 16, I moved back to Liverpool to further my football training and studies. When I finished Uni at 22, I had a bit of a tough time; it was a big test for me to stay on the right path. I thought I needed to come and live with my mum, who was living in Bournemouth and start afresh. I moved to Bournemouth on the Sunday and I started at Ippon on the Monday and within 4-5 months, I was full time training, personal training and coaching from here. The calibre of Jeff Lawson brought me to Ippon. The flaws to my MMA game were the grappling side and out of all the gyms in Bournemouth, Jeff is the crème de la crème of grappling. I had a look around the gym and it looked different to any others I’d ever seen. My coach at the time, Paul Rimmer, highly recommended Ippon.

WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK

MEET THE PRO Have you had many bad injuries from the sport? The fight I mentioned earlier at the Echo Arena left me with a broken hand and I had to fight 3 weeks later for a British title in boxing against a twotime European Champion. It was hard with one hand but I did the job and when the adrenaline kicked in, I didn’t really feel it too much. After the fight, I really felt it and it set me out for about 3 months. I used the time to work on my wrestling and Jiu Jitsu so it was a blessing in disguise really because I couldn’t punch for a few months and could focus on my weaknesses. Tell us about your football history and what made you turn to fighting? From 2006-10, I was playing for Liverpool Ladies. I had some really prestigious moments; I got to play at Anfield against Northern Ireland. I played at Goodison and all around England including Chelsea and Arsenal. My best season, I must have scored about 15/16 goals and then I injured my ankle and tore the ligaments. But, I rushed back too early. We were playing against Everton and I remember my friend, Faye McCoy was playing for Everton. I would normally be a midfielder or striker but they needed a left back and the first touch I had, Faye Mcoy, who is about 6’ 2” and 13 stone, went straight through my ankle and at that moment, I knew that was it. I kept trying to come back again and again but I wasn’t the same player. To know you’re never going to get that level again was heartbreaking. I’d always boxed and so I went back to it and within the year, I won the National Championships so it was clearly meant to be. When did you turn pro and what did that involve? An amateur or semi-professional MMA fighter will fight three x 3 minute rounds or three x 1 ½ minute rounds. You use 8oz gloves and you’re not allowed to do certain submissions so you can’t do heel hooks or elbows to the head. A professional MMA fighter will do three x 5 minute rounds so there’s a longer period that you’re in that cage and this time, you’re getting paid for it. You’re allowed to do more risky submissions and you’re allowed to throw elbows and be bit more destructive. Pro MMA can be a bit safer; you have to go through certain regulations and you have to have your blood done and have a medical once a year to make sure everything is in order. They don’t want to be putting people who are unwell into the cage. MMA is a young sport compared to other sports but the measures that are in place now is really making sure that people are safe. It’s a fact that people get injured more in football than MMA. Boxing is one of the safest sports in the world as long as you do it properly. It’s the shows that are just put together for money where the problems can happen.

You’re a coach at Ippon Gym, what do you teach? I teach the kids Thai boxing, boxing and strength and conditioning. How often do you train in addition to your teaching? When I’m in fight camp, my training programme is hard and strenuous which some people may not agree with but my programme is written by Kane Charig who is my personal trainer. Kane comes from an Olympic background so he knows what is right and what’s not. I’ll be training 6 days a week – four days we’ll train 3 times a day and two days a week will be twice a day. That includes lifting weights, plyometric training, conditioning training, MMA training, boxing, wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. I just do everything I can to win. Ippon owner, Jeff Lawson is a big name in his field locally and across the country, how much influence has he had on your success? Without him I wouldn’t be where I am. I get emotional after fights when doing interviews and talking about this. It would be very easy for someone like me to come into a gym with one skill set and for a coach to let that person crack on and learn on their own. But, from the moment I came to Ippon gym, Jeff and I had a bond. He’s like an uncle or a dad and he does everything in his power for me succeed. Everywhere I go and every training session I’m in, he’ll have something to say and tell me something to work on. I’ll arrive at the gym and there’ll be a ‘Molly’s to do list’ up on the white board. I think I’ve got a fire in my belly that Jeff can work with to get the best out of me. You’re also coached by your partner and Ippon fighter, Kane Charig. What is it like training with your partner? We just recently got engaged. It’s quite relaxed at the moment because we’re in that honeymoon phase following the engagement! But those days when its 5.30am and we’ve got to go out training or running, I’m not his best friend! It’s rewarding because he doesn’t want anything from me, he just wants the best for me. Knowing that I’ve got someone of such a high calibre training me to push me is great. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes we’ll scream at each other but I’ve never been fitter since he took over my conditioning coaching and since my body has been able to react to the demands needed for my sport, I’ve been able to go a lot further.

“EVERY COACH WE’VE GOT HERE IS A CHAMPION, THEY’RE TOP PEDIGREE.” Tell us about what Ippon has to offer and for what ages and abilities… From age 5 to age 16, we have Thai Boxing for kids and BJJ. From age 15 plus, we’ll do MMA. We’re a gym who doesn’t like to offer MMA for kids. We don’t believe that children should be getting hit when they’re on the floor and believe that kids should learn the arts separately before putting them together. For the adults, there’s Muay Thai taught by Bernie who runs a great class. Ben Dyson teaches beginner Jiu Jitsu, we’ve got ‘Magic’ who teaches Nogi , Greg Winters who teaches MMA strikes and the angles to hit – every coach we’ve got here is a champion, they’re top pedigree. Then we’ve got Jeff who has two black belts. Everyone is here to better themselves. Do you have a nickname and how did it come about? When I was a kid, my nickname was ‘The Machine’ because I was a bit of an animal! I never used to run out of steam. But, now it’s Molly ‘Meatball’ McCann. When I was at Uni in Liverpool and training in my MMA gym, I used to work in Subway and after a shift, I used to walk to the gym and people would be asking ‘what is that smell?!’ I’d answer; ‘it’s just the meatball subs!’ So that’s how ‘Meatball’ came about; it’s a bit different and no-one’s got it so I kept it. When you’re not fighting or coaching at the gym, what do you like to do for some down time? Eat! I love the Chicken Shack. Kane and I eat there three to four times a week. I also really enjoy a lie in which never really happens! Sunday is the last day of our ‘cheat diet’ so we’ll go and get some chocolate and enjoy it before the diet starts again Monday!

What do you recommend to people thinking of giving MMA a go? When I was training in boxing at an MMA gym, I used to look at everyone thinking ‘what are they doing on the floor?’ I had tunnel vision just on my boxing and that was all that mattered. But, when I looked at what they were actually doing and the complexity of their training, I noticed that they weren’t a master of one trade. They were a master of ten. You’re constantly engaged and you can’t switch off even for a second. To learn five disciplines is an amazing feat in itself. As a human being, in life, I think it’s something you strive for… growth and knowledge. Doing this sport, you’re going to get really fit, improve as a person and make some great mates. Everyone is like a family here and it’s very female and child friendly for all ages. What are your aspirations for your fighting future? I’m very goal orientated and I believe I’ve achieved stuff in my life because I’ve set myself goals. I said to Jeff when I came here, two or three fights in and I’m going to be a pro. Two fights in I would have turned pro but was asked to do an amateur fight by Cage Warriors so I went pro following that third fight. I honestly believe that in the next two years, I’m going to be a World Champion. I want two World Champions from Cage Warriors before I go to the UFC and that’s not out of grasp. Describe your sport in 3 words: Complex, Challenging, ‘Ard! Finally, where are your favourite places locally to… Eat: Chicken Shack, best place to eat. Chill: My cabin, chilling out with Kane. Play: Eden, I love the manager there.

PART 2

WE WELCOME BACK STEVE TREWHELLA, LOCAL MARINE LIFE EXPERT, CONSERVATIONIST AND PROFESSIONAL MARINE WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER, TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE CAMPAIGNS HE IS WORKING ON IN THE PLIGHT TO CLEAN UP OUR COASTLINE. Hi Steve, thanks for talking to us again about some of the work you’re doing locally to help the wildlife. Can you tell us about a key project you’re involved with currently? There were around 50000 seabirds killed across Europe. Dead sea birds were washing up after the huge storms we had along with loads of debris and litter. As a consequence of these major storms, thousands of birds were washed up in unnaturally high numbers. When this happens, they’re often dismissed as storm wreck. It is often put down to the weather being so rough that they can’t dive and feed and look after themselves. Seabirds don’t really drink water, (some will drink freshwater if available) but most hydration comes from food. I was troubled by finding hundreds of auks, puffins, guillemots and razorbills and at the time, I wanted to do more. Some birds were tangled up in litter and netting, some were contaminated with oil and other chemicals but they were widely being written off as storm wreck. We were told there was nothing to be alarmed about; it was rough weather and a natural occurrence. But we were alarmed so with a few colleagues, we’re putting together an action plan to deal with one of these events if it happens again. If someone calls me up and says there are hundreds of birds on the beach, rather than immediately bagging them up, we’re going to weigh them, count them, look at their condition, dissect some of them to see if they have ingested plastic and record our findings. We want proper data.

How will this help for future extreme weather events like we saw last winter? My issue is that everything is in decline. The sea as a whole is in big trouble. Over fishing is a very real thing and is an industrial process which will mean the demise of pretty much every marine species on the planet. A lot of stories like this don’t make the news. Sharks are being driven to extinction and killed in the millions for shark fin soup in China. Whaling is happening in Norway, Iceland, Japan - everything is in trouble. The birds are suffering terribly because their food sources just aren’t there anymore.

WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK

There are shellfish living on the seabed that would have settled shortly after the death of Queen Elizabeth the First and it takes just one trawler to wipe them out. An event like the storms from last winter is just highlighting the bigger issue. Sea birds are perfectly designed to live their entire lives at sea. They come in to breed. They deal with rough weather and I can’t believe that one storm can wipe out 50,000 birds. Marine litter has increased the amount of debris out at sea. Single use plastics like plastic bottles and carrier bags are a relatively new pollution but it’s already making a huge impact.

What are the problems you are seeing with plastic and birds out at sea? We are so used to taking plastic everywhere we go. If you stood at a checkout, you would be shocked at the amount of carrier bags that go over that counter in just 5 minutes. We buy a bag of crisps which then will get put into another bag only to take it out then throw both bags away and they can end up in the sea. The wildlife then live amongst the waste in the sea. The animals can be attracted to debris. Birds then feed in and amongst the rubbish and end up being entangled or ingesting it. The other issue is that contaminates like oil is attracted to the garbage at sea creating another hazard for the birds. If you took the demand for plastics away, the outlets would stop producing it. Take, bottled water…We are one of the only countries in the world who have clean tap water that you can drink but we still have to go and buy water in a bottle. A picture of a mountain and an expensive marketing campaign that creates the illusion that it’s better for you than tap water, it’s very persuasive. I did a documentary with Panorama and it stated that 3 billion litres a year are sold in the UK which can cost up to 500 times the price of tap water. It’s a resource you can do without. Just don’t buy it. I’m not saying I’m some saintly figure pointing the finger and I’m not pretending I’m perfect, I’m just trying to do a little bit. All I do know is that we don‘t need to use all these plastic bags and bottles that end up floating around the country. I see the end consequence and it’s very sad.

All this storm did was highlight the bigger problem and it brought in already unhealthy, weak animals that were in trouble. It may not be what we are thinking and we may pick up 1000 birds with 800 of them the proper weight but unless we record our findings, we won’t know. It is very likely that there will be another weather event like this and we want to be able to give our report to the RSPB and show them the breakdown of all the birds we find.

Who do you work with on these projects? A lot of people are independent and are self funded. The RSCPA in many ways do a fantastic job but there are also people like me around who literally do this work for the love of it. There is a RSPCA unit at West Hatch in Somerset who deals specifically with marine animals, seals, oiled birds and they do sterling work, I have great respect for them. They usually come and collect what we find. But then there are people locally who are self funded. They may have a converted garage with heat lamps, they’ll tube feed the animals all at great personal expense. The work I do, along with a chap I often work with in Weymouth is to rescue. So we’re trained to rescue marine wildlife in difficult locations and conditions. That’s our contribution. Once they’re bagged up or boxed, they are passed on to the next team.

We’ve read a lot recently about the controversy around charity balloon releases. Can you tell us about the work you’ve done around these events? I’ve stopped five balloon releases this year. Balloon releases and races are a massive killer of wildlife. Turtles eat them because they think they’re jellyfish, birds get entangled in them. It’s legal littering. Hundreds of balloons are released, they pop and come down on fields where cows might eat one and a lot of them end up out at sea. If I walked to the end of Bournemouth Pier with a load of deflated balloons and threw them off, I would be prosecuted. But if you say it’s for charity and fill with helium, they’ll still end up in the water off our coast. We stopped five really big ones which would have equated to around 50,000 plus balloons that would have ended up in the sea. Twitter and social media is a very powerful thing. When you open people’s eyes to the harm that these kinds of events do to our coastal wildlife, it creates great power and spreads quickly. People realise that there are other far less destructive ways to raise money for charities.

How can local people do something small to help our immediate coastline? One little thing we can all do straight away is reduce your single use plastics. They are objects that use a huge amount of energy and resource to make but that are only used for a few seconds. Some places don’t even ask if you want them, they hand them out even if you buy one or two items. We don’t need carrier bags to carry a couple of items to our cars. It’s a bad habit that we’re used to doing. Just say no to plastic carrier bags! Get your local supermarket to realise that we don’t want a plastic bag just for one tube of toothpaste. If we

“AS INDIVIDUALS, WE CAN’T STOP PEOPLE CHOPPING DOWN TREES IN THE AMAZON BUT WE CAN REDUCE OUR USE OF PLASTICS EVERY DAY AND HELP THE WILDLIFE ON OUR COASTLINE.” stop putting litter in the ocean right now, we can try to reduce the impact that has already been made and slow it down. Our oceans just can’t spit it out any longer and we need to all do our bit to help. The other worry is that ultimately, the plastic is ending up in our food chain. We are already eating it. The plastic gets to a point where it can’t get any smaller. The marine life eats it and then we eat it. This is the legacy of 50 years of plastic. After just 50 years, we are already eating it. As individuals, we can’t stop people chopping down trees in the Amazon but we can reduce our use of plastics every day and help the wildlife on our coastline. Look out next month for another update about Steve’s work on our shores.

Steve’s images are available as prints and he is available for talks and presentations on local marine and coastal wildlife.

I’ve been in the fitness game a long time. I took my first job in a sports centre in 1980, and that same year joined my first proper hardcore gym, Dave Prowse’s (Darth Vader) gym in Southwark, South East London. Dave had been a world class Olympic weightlifter and champion bodybuilder, and even though his competitive years were behind him he still bore an imposing figure, all six feet seven inches of him! A couple of years before I joined his gym

The women and men in Dave’s gym all trained the same and the ones that had been there a while looked great. What Dave told me to do is what any decent coach would have his pupil/ client do now, nothings changed. But there are still people, literature, and businesses trying to convince us otherwise, that actually we’re doing it all wrong and the way to get stronger, lose fat and gain muscle is something that has just been discovered – next step is to buy their book or pay for their time and they will fill you in on their secrets. From thousands of studies and hours of research it has been discovered time and time again that what worked fifty years ago still works, surprise surprise. The people that say it’s a minefield trying to find the correct way to train and eat in order to change body composition should avoid the hype and remember the key to gaining strength and muscle tone is, still, to simply attempt to lift progressively heavier in good form, preferably utilising free weight exercises. If you want a strong core forget the one leg bosu pistol squat or other such exercises that belong in a circus,

just squat, deadlift or clean. If you want to tone up your glutes (bum) squat, deadlift and lunge, and if you want to gain muscle mass or density squat, deadlift, chin, dip, row and press. And if you want to get leaner, again lift and also moderate your starchy carbohydrate intake while maintaining good quality protein and healthy fat intake. High volumes of aerobic work will initially result in temporary weight loss, but the weight lost will be both muscle and fat, whereas resistance work will maintain (and depending on the routine, build) muscle and increase metabolism meaning you burn more calories at rest and you can keep making progress. Keep it simple, stick to the basics and listen to the old timers who were and still are in good shape. We had it right in the first place, nothing has changed.

nd have you also noticed that Crossfit and generally spending more time weight lifting and less time on cardio contraptions is apparently the best way to change body composition for the better? Well leapfrog back 40 years and you will see that lifting weights while following high protein, moderate fat and lower carbohydrate diets were being utilised by everyone in great shape, from your average gym bunny to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Through trial and error coaches and athletes found it worked back in the 40’s and 50’s, and pioneers like Vince Gironda (there’s a name for you to google if you want to see how advanced principles AD ME were in the 50’s) were getting folks into REactually M FREE shape on Keto and Paleo diets; the same I’great diets as some folks think have only just been discovered.

15 YEARS OF SUCCESS WITH SOS! Julie Cook-Hughes, Managing Director & Founder of SOS recruitment

Julie Cook-Hughes, Founder and Managing Director of SOS recruitment was extremely proud on Thursday 9th October following ‘Celebration Party’. It was both a networking and celebration extravaganza with over 150 people attending the lunchtime party held at ‘reef and beef’ restaurant in Bournemouth and was a notable event on Bournemouth’s networking and social calendar.

SOS’S WORK ETHOS AND VALUES ARE EXTREMELY STRONG, A CLIENT IS NEVER TOO SMALL OR TOO BIG FOR THEM TO SERVICE AND THIS CAN BE EVIDENCED FROM THEIR CONTINUED SUCCESS YEAR ON YEAR.

WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK

Both the honourable ‘The Worshipful Mayor of Bournemouth’, Councillor Chris Mayne and the ‘The Worshipful Mayor of Poole’, Councillor Peter Adams and his wife, the Mayoress, Brenda Adams were honoured guests at this prestigious event held at the newly opened restaurant on Old Christchurch Road. Both of the Mayors were highly impressed with the number of local businesses who attended this local event with a representative from each industry sector in attendance. The guests enjoyed sampling the delectable canapés, steak and perfectly cooked lobsters served at the party and many complimentary comments were heard at the event about the mouth-watering array of food served. Businesses across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire enjoyed ‘mingling’ with each other – the cross industry sector of clients who attended were varied, including large corporate clients along with small and medium local businesses who year-on-year rely on the services of SOS recruitment to provide both temporary and permanent staff. The SOS team are proud to service these clients and take great pride and care when supplying staff ensuring the service is professional, efficient and timely – a winning combination to ensure success. KEY SPEAKERS AT THE EVENT: The Worshipful Mayor of Bournemouth, Councillor Chris Mayne. The Mayor, Councillor Chris Mayne toasted Julie and her team on their 15 years of successful trading and for their contribution to assisting local businesses with their recruitment needs. He was joined by his colleague, Councillor Peter Adams and his wife Brenda. Paul Kinvig – Dale Carnegie Paul Kinvig’s spoke about ‘Motivation vs Manipulation’ within the workplace. He received many nods of acknowledgement regarding its content and substance with businesses agreeing that there were certain areas within their own companies which would benefit from the implementation of key areas he spoke about. His natural ability to speak and influence people made an impact and gave many clients and guests serious thoughts as to how they could change staff behaviours/general concepts within their businesses along with implementing new initiatives with staff to enhance their businesses and workforce harmony. Blair Crawford – Shore Ideas Blair Crawford was another key speaker at the event and spoke about the exciting ‘Shore Ideas’ Social Enterprise project giving young people in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch the opportunity and encouragement to realise their true potential, become entrepreneurs and make a real difference in the local community. The programme is available to 13-21 year olds providing seed funding, resources and mentoring to execute these young entrepreneurs’ projects to benefit a chosen charity or beneficiary of their choice. Julie Cook Hughes is excited to announce she has become a ‘Lion’ on the

‘Dragons Den’ panel along with James Morby, owner of ‘reef and beef’. They are both extremely excited about contributing their business expertise to this exciting venture – watch this space! Maintaining, growing and developing a successful business year on year running a highly successful business starts from the leader who founded it. In this case, Julie Cook-Hughes, a unique, inspirational and energised individual started her career within recruitment at an early age but always had the desire to work for herself. Julie’s highly driven, passionate personality and hardwork ethic was the perfect combination to open a recruitment business. She started with a small amount of money, worked tirelessly to ensure she built strong relationships with local key clients and candidates and built her ‘empire’ to the dizzy heights of success it experiences today. SOS has gone from strength to strength and now has three divisions: Commercial, Workforce and the newly established Care Division – based across 2 office sites. Julie will also use her vision, tenacity and fearless manner to see obstacles as challenges to be overcome. Being positive and taking risks has been key to SOS Recruitment’s success. Julie’s investment in her staff is admirable, she takes the time to get to know what makes her staff feel valued and she will always reward staff – she is highly respected within the business and has a presence with her teams – Julie is loved by many. JOB MARKET CONFIDENCE We all appreciate a tough climate across many companies has been experienced during the height of the recession and here at SOS recruitment , Julie CookHughes is testament to why you shouldn’t ‘give up’ or ‘give in’ when times are tough. Recruitment, as an industry, suffered through the most recent recession with many businesses being forced to make redundancies rather than hiring new staff. This impact was two-fold for recruitment companies; they had personnel registering but a significant lack of job opportunities to offer them. However on a positive

note, we feel confident the job market climate has changed, certainly during the latter part of 2013 and 2014 with many industries now reporting excellent profits and an upturn in sales on their products and services. Here at SOS recruitment, we have been fortunate to win even more new business over the last 18 months which has resulted in recruiting even more staff ourselves. We currently have over 400 temporary staff working for us along with 100’s of candidates successfully being placed into new permanent roles across a range of industry sectors. We are proud to be 1st Tier Suppliers to two of the largest corporate clients based in Bournemouth and Poole with dedicated Account Managers looking after these clients. THINKING ABOUT BECOMING A RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT? SOS WOULD LOVE TO SPEAK WITH YOU! When you work for SOS recruitment in any role, whether it is a Consultant, Support Person or a Manager within any of the divisions, your career has only just begun with this fast paced, successful recruitment agency. You will be offered a competitive salary and benefits package, full training and on-going coaching and development within your role. The SOS model of business is unique, if you are striving to succeed within a recruitment environment you will not find a more focused and forward thinking company than SOS recruitment! Julie CookHughes has extreme vision in both her business and her people – take a look at her Management Team, they have 100 years recruitment experience between them! Working for SOS recruitment is like ‘running your own business’. The world is your oyster – success is in ‘hands reach’ and Julie and her management team will ensure you reach the dizzy heights of success in your recruitment career. Julie hopes you enjoyed reading about her recent celebration…hopefully our paths will be crossing soon whether you are client seeking new staff or looking for a new job yourself whether this is recruitment based or with one of our clients.

MISSION NO.25 PART. 2 PIERZIP, BOURNEMOUTH PIER We sent Jo to have a go at Rock Reef last month, Bournemouth’s top new all weather attraction. Also newly launched at the end of the pier, is the thrilling PierZip, Britain’s first pier to beach zip line. We thought it was only right that Jo tried this out too and report back on the experience! Find out more > www.rockreef.co.uk

Hi Jo, you clearly loved your time at Rock Reef last month, plans to go back there again soon? I’ve already been back! I couldn’t stay away and needed something to do with the children on a wet weekend so Rock Reef was the perfect option to have some great family fun inside, away from the rain! This month is another test of your nerves again at the Bournemouth PierZip wire. How are you with heights?! There are a few stairs to climb up to get to the top! I’ve been watching the build of the tower over the last few months and it looks pretty high up! I’ll try not to look down.

AFTER… That looked pretty good fun and we could hear your screams from the pier, how was it? That was brilliant, when can I do it again?! Seriously good fun and everyone has to give this a go! Tell us about the climb up?! That was probably the hardest part…the view from the top is beautiful but the spiral staircase is see through so you could see through the steps and out over the sea at the end of the pier. My bid to not look down didn’t work and about half way up, my legs were a little shaky! But, that’s all part of the thrill of the ride.

Look out next month for another ‘Have a go hero’ challenge. 42

WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK

Tell us about the zip wire back to the beach, what was it like? At the top, I took a few moments to catch my breath from the climb up. I was hoping my heart rate would slow down a bit but the excitement of then getting clipped onto the wire took over and I was nervous! Once you’re all ready to go, it’s just the small matter of stepping off the ledge, but when you do, all I could do was scream as I whizzed down past the pier out over the sea. …and how was your land?! Um, not that graceful but the way the ramp is built at the end, means you have a fairly smooth landing! I just kept saying that I wanted another go! What were the staff like? Excellent, calming and professional. You felt really safe from the briefing at the bottom to the encouragement at the top. They reassured me that you’re 100% safe and just to step out off the ledge and enjoy the view on the way down, which I absolutely did. Would you recommend the PierZip to locals and visitors to Bournemouth? You must try it, it’s such good fun. I’ve actually bought a couple as Christmas presents for people as I know they’ll get far more enjoyment from it than the boring pair of socks under the tree! Children can do it too and my daughter went down with me (there are two wires so you can go down in pairs). She loved it too and has told all of her friends at school to give it a go!

SURF SKI

PHOTOGRAPHY: STEVE COOMBES

Name: Lewis Kirkton Sport: Surf Ski

i Lewis, when did you start paddling surf ski and what got you into it? My route to surf ski and ocean racing hasn’t been the archetypal progression into the sport that you’d normally observe. Usually people have served their time in another paddle sport like marathon kayaking, or have come from the surf life saving culture as it’s already on their radar, through word of mouth and the media. Surfing is my background, I’m an ok cyclist, and have done my fair share of years life guarding the beaches of West Cornwall. These things - in a round about way - developed a skill set and outlook that are well lent to surf ski and in particular the racing side of it. Not to mention I live in St Ives and there are some pretty heavy hitting watermen, water-women, and actively creative people right on my doorstep, so inspiration to work hard at the things that light you up is never too far away. But to speed this up for you a little, my dad is into surf ski and his friend that just so happened to be Glenn Eldridge (one of the watermen I’ve mentioned) who is a big driving force of surf ski and ocean based sport in the UK. Without these guys I wouldn’t

WWW.THEGAMEMAGAZINE.CO.UK

be doing this. In conversations between them it’d been said that “my boy would be good at this” and following that I (the boy), seized an invite to train with Team Ocean Sports. I was awful at first but it was so much fun to go that fast across the water so far out to sea, and I was still riding waves! It all just clicked that this was something to run with. And now I’m in the team! Where do you train and can you tell us what your training sessions involve? A ten-minute walk from my house puts me pretty much in the water at Carbis Bay Beach, St Ives. The team train from here because of access to the beach and sheltered access to the water. Carbis Bay is nestled away from the wind and swell but really close to the exposed areas that we want to get amongst, so that’s where we get to work! Training has a rhythm through the year with a specific goal being the point when you want to be the strongest, fittest, fastest and not miss a beat. So working back from that goal (which will more often than not, be a specific race) we’ll plan the year.

No one session will give you everything you want to achieve, so you break it down day to day, week to week, month to month. For example if you need to be able to work harder for longer, that loosely translates to “I need to be able to hurt more for longer,” so you will go and do some form of lactate tolerance session in which you will “hurt” but “hold on” to your form and speed. You may need to be stronger to move the boat faster, so a gym session or four might be thrown in to make some gains in that area. In short it is about creating a recipe of sessions that deliver the results, but importantly this has to be repeatable. There is no point in wasting yourself one week and not training the next because you are broken. In light of this need to be consistent we will do anywhere between 6 and 10+ sessions a week with varying intensity and length (less sessions leading into a race, more sessions in the off season), with a recovery day thrown in. This way the workload is constant so the body must change to rise up to the demands, and not simply be destroyed! I’ve learnt that the hard way! Training is split between paddling, cycling, the gym, running, and swimming. It’s good to keep yourself guessing and balanced by having varied challenges. I surf so I’ll do that when there’s swell. It can’t replace a session so it’s always extra, so I suppose the 10 sessions get exceeded and I break the rules a bit but it keeps me sane! Can you tell us about any good competitions or wins you’ve had? For the last two years I’ve managed to place 2nd in the GB Ocean Ski Series, so that’s probably my biggest achievement, considering I’m still such a newbie. It’s more down to consistency through the year and being in the top end of the race every time. So I haven’t actually won a race yet but if it were that easy everyone would be doing it! I have had a few second places and podiums at races that were hard fought battles. One of the best things in the sport for me is the fact that everyone is willing to fight all the way to the line for their place, so wherever you end up, you know you earned it the honest way. As an extremely competitive person it has been a learning process to see the

success in my development and not the number on the results table. If the latter were my primary concern then I’d be limiting myself to the achievements and abilities of others, so I watch the clock. To give that some more context, I’ve got faster throughout the year so I know that I’m doing something right in training and that win is getting closer every day. It takes an awful lot of losing to make a winner in this game! I almost forgot, Glenn and I won the UK doubles championships last year and came second this year. We were also placed in the top ten at the 2013 Ocean Racing World Championships, which we were both happy with. What is your favourite spot locally? Surely the best spot is where all your friends are? In light of this I’d have to say Carbis Bay is one of the best spots at home as it’s becoming the paddling hub for the area through the efforts of Ocean Sports, the athletes putting in the time, and water lovers that club together down there. Beach cinemas, drinks and BBQs after being on the water are a regular occurrence; it’s not all blood sweat and tears! But to suggest a favourite run to take in my little boat, I’d have to unveil the Cornish Millers Run. It’s between Porthleven and Newlyn down here in West Cornwall. Where you start and end up is dictated by whether the wind is in the East or West. You see paddling down wind from A to B is the quintessence of surf ski. To master the rhythm of the water and your relationship with it as you speed on to a different shore, I’m not sure I can adequately put across the sense of adventure and exhilaration this brings. Lucky for us on this South West peninsula, there’s a multitude of options that measure up with varying wind and swell options. …And around the world? I’ve surfed and paddled in a multitude of places around the world but I couldn’t pick a favourite. To be honest – and keeping it to surf ski - I have had my best “down winds” at home. Maybe The Celtic Crossing is potentially one of the best; it’s definitely the biggest of its kind in Europe. It’s from the Scilly Islands to Sennen Cove on the mainland, or the other way around (as the wind is in charge). 50 kilometres of downwind from land mass to land mass, it’s a bit of a leviathan but such a distillation of the sport that maybe it is my favourite even if it is a big undertaking.

“OK SO LET’S BE CLEAR, A SURF SKI ISN’T A SEA KAYAK. A SURF SKI IS LONG, SLEEK, FAST AND AGILE. THEY ARE MADE FOR SURFING WAVES ON THE OPEN OCEAN”

Tell us about the equipment you use… Ok so let’s be clear, a surf ski isn’t a sea kayak. A surf ski is long, sleek, fast and agile. They are made for surfing waves on the open ocean (whether it be wind chop or ground swell), hopping between them to navigate quickly across the water, using the water. We have rudders and sea kayaks have skegs, you sit in a sea kayak and sit “on” a surf ski (you sit deep in an ergonomic mould, but you are not inside the boat like a kayak). The paddles we use are foiled to create lift as you pull on them, so they kind of look like wings, with a deep-scooped shape. The boats are made in a multitude of ways, but they are hollow, have a stringer (like a surfboard) in the middle, and the best ones are mostly made with carbon fibre and other advanced materials. The lighter ones can be close to 9 kg, and the heavier ones up to about 15 kg. We move the rudder using foot pedals (carbon fibre of course!). And in the interest of safety we race in buoyancy aids and wear leashes, it’s a long swim back to shore when there’s 30 knots of wind and you’ve lost your boat, so we try to avoid it. You can easily be 2 kilometres off shore on a regular down wind so you do have to take precautions, like telling HM Coastguard and taking a phone or VHF radio. These things are standard in this sort of sport for a reason. Do you take part in any other sports? As I’ve mentioned, I do surf and have done for most of my life, so that’ll always be with me. It’s not really a sport, it’s a culture and one that is best experienced away from a competitive framework. My cycling opened up the floodgates to training and endurance events. I’ve cycled from John O Groats to Lands end a few times with lunatic friends, the quickest attempt taking us 6 days. Maybe one day I’ll have a crack at the record for that one. These three are the core group I suppose but like most of the guys and girls I’ve grown up surfing with I like to skate when it’s flat, but not so much now I’m training with goals and have rent to pay like everyone else. A broken wrist doesn’t help with that!

What are your hopes and goals for the future? Over the next few years I’d like to win the GB Ocean Ski Series and do it convincingly, that’s my next step on the ladder, to be dominant on the domestic scene. Next would be to establish myself further on the European circuit, achieve some podium positions working toward the wider international series. I want be the British guy to make an impact in this sport overseas. It’s a tall order and it’s going to take some time but with my peers and the UK depth of talent constantly developing and pushing for more, it is just that, a matter of time. Further to that I want to help the growth of the sport through contributing to the wider community (more races, more people!) and youth development, surf ski has been noticed by the IOC so let’s not be forgotten! What would you like to say to others reading this that may want to give it a go? Do just that, give it a go! There’s a multitude of boats to choose from so you can jump in something stable but fast and get an idea of what to expect. There are demo days and plenty of races outside of the winter months, but distributers are committed to the growth of the sport and they’ll usually do whatever they can. Search on Facebook for GB Ocean Ski paddling, and the website www. oceanski.org.uk has all the updates you could need. Glenn Eldridge at Ocean Sports has a stock of boats in the South West and provides coaching at all levels in multiple disciplines. Getting down to your local surf life saving club is usually a good way of getting information or finding someone with a boat. In Dorset you’re looking at Branksome Chine SLSC, they’re a good bunch and they’ll point you in the right direction. Thank you, Lewis for a great insight into your sport and good luck with your future.

THE WHITE CHRISTMAS DIP IS AN ANNUAL CHARITY CHRISTMAS MORNING SWIM HELD ON THE BEACH NEXT TO BOSCOMBE PIER IN BOURNEMOUTH ORGANISED BY TOM BAKER AND FAMILY. EVERY YEAR THE DIP BEGINS ON THE BEACH, JUST TO THE RIGHT OF BOSCOMBE PIER, AND FINISHES IN THE SEA! THE CHRISTMAS MORNING SWIM IS A FANTASTIC EXCUSE FOR A FAMILY OUTING AND SOME HEALTHY SEA AIR ON CHRISTMAS DAY. Not only is it great fun for the swimmers and spectators, the event also raises much needed funds for Macmillan caring locally supporting the Macmillan unit at Christchurch hospital, which is a specialist palliative care unit for patients in the local community. We caught up with founder of the White Christmas Dip, 25 year old, Tommy Baker who organises the dip every year. Property manager at Gale Homes & Investments, Tommy manages to find time in his busy schedule to arrange what has become a major annual event with hundreds of locals taking part to raise money. We asked Tommy about his motivations behind setting up the popular fundraiser on Christmas morning.

Hi Tommy, thanks for talking to us. Tell us how the Christmas Dip came about… We started the dip back in 2008 when my uncle, John White, was diagnosed with cancer and he decided that if he only had a few Christmases left, he wanted each one to be memorable and suggested that we join the Spartans on their famous Christmas Day Swim. We turned up and found no-one there, but a hardy bunch joined in on the spur of the moment which made me think this had the potential to become a great annual event. When was it that you realised you could turn it into a charity event and what made you choose Macmillan Caring Locally as the beneficiary? After the second years dip, we had a small group join us and approximately 25-50 took the plunge, I thought that we should do something for the local community differentiating us from the Spartans. I researched local charities and Macmillan Caring Locally seemed like the perfect choice. Especially as they are one of the few charities which let you choose where you would like your donation to be spent. What does your role involve with the event? In 2013, we decided to make this Macmillan’s only officially endorsed event and as the work load grew, it became hard to fit this around my job. Getting Macmillan Caring Locally involved allowed us to approach companies to sponsor the event which has helped with the growth. Despite the further involvement from Macmillan Caring Locally, I still play a vital role in the organising of the event and it’s my personal goal to make it one of the country’s largest with the potential to raise £100,000 a year! I really enjoy organising the dip and would love to find something similar for the summer, let’s see what the future brings…

How many years has it been going now? This will be the 7th year that we charge into the sea at 10:30am in fancy dress, raising both awareness and much needed funds for this local charity. I have to say we would not have got to 7 years without the help of everyone involved who have helped out on the day and during the build up, so thank you to you all! What has been some of the best fancy dress you’ve seen over the years? As I’m sure you can imagine, over the years we have seen so many fancy dress outfits, ranging from Father Christmas to a bunch of grapes! My friends and family have made a big effort to ‘think outside the box’ when it comes to outfits and ensure that each year is different. How much have you raised roughly so far since the launch? Year on year we have smashed our target of raising more, with last year’s total reaching over £25,000! The amount the event has raised over the 6 years roughly stands at a fantastic £38,000! How many people do you think you’ll have this year? Our target is to raise over £35,000 and to have between 500/ 600 participants charge into the sea with us, with the aim that in the near future, we will be the UK’s largest Christmas Day Dip. Where can people find out more and register to take part? We have a website that has been kindly donated to us by Cracking Media which features photos, the history of the event and more information about Macmillan Caring Locally. Signing up takes only a minute and in return we ask each participant to donate a minimum of £5.00 to Macmillan Caring Locally and to try and get sponsorship from others on the run up to the event. Entry is available to absolutely everyone and spectators are welcome to cheer us on from the promenade! Thanks for telling us about this unique event and The Game team look forward to seeing you down the beach on Christmas Day. The mulled wine will be ready to warm us up afterwards!

CHERRIES KEEP UP TO DATE WITH THE HIGHS, THE LOWS AND LATEST NEWS FROM AFC BOURNEMOUTH

AFCB v Brighton – Once again, it’s a bit of a local derby. It’s going to be televised live on Sky as it was last season which ended in a 1-1 draw. We performed very well last year but they’ve got good quality in their squad. I predict we’ll win the game but it will be close.

AFCB v Ipswich – A team who have

tough away fixtures coming up in four days of each other. I do think we can get something from these games. If we pick up 4 points between the two games and stay undefeated, that would be a magnificent effort from the team. Middlebrough v AFCB – So, another long trip to play a tough team. I watched them live recently and they’re a hard team to break down. A point at Middlesbrough would be a good point.

done well of late - Mick McCarthy has got them firing and they’re another hard nut to crack. If we can carry on our form that we’ve had of late, we’ll have a chance of a win but it’ll be a close encounter. AFCB v Millwall – They’ve started the season a lot better than the last; they’re more organised and disciplined. It will be tight but I will be hoping we can replicate last season with three points.

#ASK FLETCH Question of the month We pick a question for Fletch each month direct from the fans.

From Steve Dominey via twitter @ domo13afcb Do you think if you were playing still, you could have the partnership with Callum Wilson as you had with Defoe? Jermain Defoe was a one off. We’ve had some fantastic strikers at AFC Bournemouth, but you only have to look at what Jermain has achieved for club and country after that loan spell to show the quality he possesses. He went back to West Ham, then to Tottenham and played for England. That’s not to say Callum won’t follow in Jermain’s footsteps because he can and that is what he’ll be striving for. I think Callum has the potential to score goals in the Premier League and hopefully that will be with us. If Callum was up front with me 14 years ago, we would have hopefully scored a lot of goals. I think we could have struck up a good partnership.

ASK FLETCH

GAN

FLETCH’S PREDICTIONS We have another tough month coming up with the November fixtures and we’re playing a few teams in the top six…what are your thoughts ahead of this month’s fixtures?

few teams. I do believe we’ve got the quality and do think we can make the play-offs but there are a lot of things that can happen along the way in an unpredictable division. Eddie Howe is now pushing on the door of being in the top 20 longest serving managers in the country and is currently the 2nd longest serving in the Championship, how important is that to the club? First and foremost, it’s crazy to think the manager has only been here two years and he’s the second longest serving in the division. That just goes to show how cut throat this business is. I would love to see the statistic from 10 years ago and I am sure it would show longer amounts of time that managers stay at clubs but that’s the nature of the beast. The gaffer is quite unique. He loves the football club and wants success as much as everyone else involved. The gaffer sets the bar at a high level for everyone to follow and reach and when you’ve got that, the club will only go in one direction and move forward. You need the backing and help to achieve that and we have that with our owner, Maxim Demin who has been fabulous supporting the manager.

MOR

There have been a few really good results recently, how important has it been to put a good run of wins together? It’s massively important. This is probably the most unpredictable league out of all the divisions in the country. The Championship is unforgiving at times and you can never rest or think a game is going to be easy because you’ll get punished for the slightest mistake. You can never guarantee anything in football in general but it couldn’t be any truer than here in the Championship. It’s imperative that we put a few runs together but it’s only the start of what we’re trying to build. Last month’s front cover, Callum Wilson, netted a few good and important goals in the last few games…he seems to have settled in quickly, don’t you think? Once we knew Lewis Grabban was leaving the football club, the manager came to the scouting department

and told us that we needed to find a player to fill the void left by Lewis. It wasn’t a case of finding a player like him, but one we felt confident would fit into our style of playing and would hopefully score goals. With Callum, we had monitored him closely and done our research and despite being untested in the Championship, we felt he could make the step up. We passed on what we found to the manager, and then the negotiations began. He had offers to go to a number of other clubs, some of which were big, ex-Premier League clubs, but he chose us which was a massive coup. He has done magnificently so far this season and now the big test is for him to produce this form for the remainder of the campaign. Once again, we look to be holding our own in this league; as you said earlier, its early days but at this stage, do you think the play-offs are realistic? I don’t like to predict things too much. We all hope and pray at the beginning of the season that we’ll be in and around the top few. In my own heart, I do believe we’re a team that can be there but there are many factors to take into consideration. We’ve given ourselves a little chance over the last couple of weeks and now we’ve got to try and stick around the top
