Your Community News PUBLIC CONTINUES TO SHAPE RUSHMOOR TOWN AND LOCAL MASTERPLANS June saw the bold regeneration plans for Farnborough Town Centre strengthened after extensive consultation with residents and other stakeholder groups. Since the beginning of the year, residents, businesses and civic groups were invited to give their thoughts on the Farnborough Civic Quarter Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) at meetings and public exhibitions. Rushmoor Borough Council, working with architects, Allies and Morrison, had drawn up the SPD to provide a vision for the southern end of the town centre, which includes the library, leisure centre, community centre with the aim of attracting further new investment to the town and to contribute to the ongoing regeneration of the town centre.

In June the Cabinet adopted several key changes which include an option with which retains the Elles Hall Building, a water feature and cycling and walking routes. Councillor Roland Dibbs also expressed a wish for a small theatre to be included in the community centre. There is also a draft Local Plan under public consultation that looks at the town and district centres, housing needs, business and employment sites, open spaces and leisure uses, military and aviation heritage, Aldershot’s new Wellesley development and Farnborough Airport. The six-week public consultation started on Monday 8 June and runs to Monday 20 July. Consultation on the masterplan for Aldershot town centre is due to begin in the autumn.

BEE SURREY photo needed By Rich Lee Where would we be without bees? Seriously, take away our honey-hoarding, flower pollinating winged friends and there’s barely an eco-system around that wouldn’t face dire consequences from their absence. But while science keeps a careful eye on global bee populations, it’s through the efforts of local beekeepers practicing their ancient craft that colonies can thrive in any environment, be it countryside, town or city. With the help of Surrey beekeeper Andrew Halstead, Rich Lee asks ‘Show me the honey!’ and gets a glimpse deep inside the Wisley hives of this fascinating, and vital, insect…

I can’t remember the last time I was stung by a bee. If I was dangerously allergic, I’m sure I would. Today would surely be a bad day to find out so I’m fervently hoping that the bee suit Andrew loaned me is up to its task. I zip up, tuck my jeans into my socks, hope for the best and follow Andrew into the hives’ enclosure. Andrew Halstead was formerly RHS Wisley’s Principal Entomologist. Now retired, he manages three hives among a clutch of eight, tucked away down the far end of RHS Wisley’s huge acreage, hives that have been there since 1978. As he primes his trusty and well used smoker he warns me from getting too close to the nearest of the hives. “I won’t touch that one,” he says, “it’s bad tempered and they’re in the process of being ‘requeened’.” Requeening is a way of improving the temper of a hive. There could be a number of reasons why a colony could get itself in a tizz, he explains. “It could be a one off, but if they’re persistently nasty it’s usually down to the queen. She may be getting a bit old and maybe a bit crotchety and it tends to spread through the colony. Most of the time bees are fairly benign and well behaved, but in those cases if you replace the queen it tends to solve the problem.” I’m left wondering what kind of political dramas might be unfolding in the depths of that troubled hive. Was her ‘Ma j’ losing her edge and sowing unrest among her

seething subjects? Was there a larva in there with power on her insectoid mind? I gave them a wide berth. Andrew visits the hives every week to check their condition and to look for signs of swarming. This is when a new honeybee colony is formed by the queen leaving a colony with a large group of worker bees in tow, providing new queens have been raised to replace her. Good for the dispersal of bee populations, not so good for the beekeeper’s honey harvest. A few puffs of smoke to calm the bees down and he begins to dismantle the hive, removing the upper layers where the bulk of honey is stored, inspecting the honeycomb as he goes. He explains how honeybee society works. “In any beehive you’ve got one fertile female and that’s the queen. Then you’ve got the worker bees, up to sixty thousand, which are the infertile females who collect the honey, build the honeycombs, defend the hive and feed the larvae. And finally you have a few hundred drones, which are the males.” And what do they do, I ask? “Bugger all.” Well, bugger all apart from mating with a virgin queen. And they say nurses have it tough. As Andrew carefully disassembles the hive, the further down we go we find cells that contain the early larval stages of new queens, containing nourishing royal jelly for the girls to feast on during their larval stage. Other cells contain drone and worker larvae. We also find

cells packed with pollen, the bee’s favourite protein-rich food. Andrew says that finding the queen is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but as we reach the lowest level of the hive, his sharp, experienced eyes spot her royal highness amid the crowd. Slightly longer than the others and marked with a crafty dab of paint on her thorax - a beekeeper’s trick - the queen skitters busily about her domain very unlike the immobile egg laying machine I’d naively imagined.

I’m waiting for this queen’s retinue to kick off at our intrusion but they instead seem unaware or simply not bothered. The only time they appear to get at all agitated is when I clumsily stumble in front of the hives entrance, releasing a lively cloud of bees around my netted face, bees which I choose to assume are only curious and not ready to sting me from here to Bournemouth. Andrew, naturally, is far more at ease with his charges, having spent a lifetime working with them after his father first introduced him to

Bee Involved Beekeeping is a fascinating and challenging hobby that is very rewarding in many ways – It’s even said that bees endow keepers with a long life. Fortunately, there are many groups near you that can help you take up a pursuit that could well become a lifelong passion. We’re almost certain the bees would thank you if they could! The Surrey Beekeepers Association goes back as far as 1872 and are now comprised of eight divisions around the county. Over the border in Hampshire you’ll find the Fleet Beekeepers Association. Many of these fine associations appear at public events and offer practical courses designed to help you handle your very own hives.

beekeeping as a boy. For him, the lure is all in the challenge of keeping them in good health and obtaining a good crop of honey. “A good hive, in a good year can produce about 100 to 150 pounds of honey. In a bad year, nothing!” UK bees have few predators but can suffer occasional attacks by woodpeckers, wasps and hornets. Weak colonies are vulnerable to wax moth caterpillars that eat the combs. A ma jor problem is Varroa mite. “You can’t be a beekeeper who just lets the bees get on with it. If you did the mites would carry on sucking the juices out of the larvae and spread bee virus diseases. You can’t eradicate the mites but you can mitigate the damage.” Another threat to bees are pesticides, particularly the controversial family known as neonicotinoids. Fortunately, beekeeping has seen something of a revival in the last decade, which still surprises Andrew. “You would think with all the problems that bees have with Varroa, people would be put off. But it seems to have the reverse effect. People want to do something to help bees. They’re coming forward to become beekeepers which is the best way to look after them.”

Bees Uninvited? Often honeybee colonies can make their home where they aren’t so welcome such as chimneys, wall cavities and garden trees. When they do it’s time to call in a professional to deal with them. And it helps when that professional also happens to be a bee lover such as PGH Pest Control’s Peter Higgs. Peter and his awardwinning company removes the honeybees and honeycomb those places and structures using no insecticide, by taking the combs and honeybees out alive and re-hiving them into wooden hives. Peter and his team then re-locate them to on his apiary or passes them on to bee keepers. Pete tells us: Our service will exclude honeybees from colonising most places on your house but not only this it will also keep mice, rats and squirrels out, and many creepy crawlies too. Prevention is better than cure and here at PGH Pest Control we are passionate about reducing pesticide use by understanding and preventing pests.

SURSAR -JOINING UP

By Will Knowlton This month we look at how one goes about joining Surrey Search and Rescue as well as what to expect over the course of the training.

ust like any job, the first thing to do with Surrey Search and Rescue is contact them. I sent an email to the team asking when their next recruitment day was. To start with they took my details and asked when a convenient time was for a phone interview. A few days later, as arranged, I got a call from them and we had a short chat for about ten minutes or so about what to expect and if I had any questions. At the end of the phone call I was told I’d passed that stage and was invited to a fitness test the following month.

The test itself was a hike of ten miles, on which I was to cover the first 6 miles in under two hours. I later found out the Lowland Rescue national standard is 5 miles in two hours but Surrey like to push a little harder! The walk took in some lovely country side but it certainly wasn’t a ramble; we really had to keep pace! The 6 mile mark was on top of Gibbet Hill

near Hindhead so the last mile or so was pretty tough, but I liked the challenge. The next four miles was at a normal pace but along the route the team had set up team-building skills to see how we’d interact as a group. It was great fun and I had a real sense of achievement when I got an email later that week saying I’d passed. Then the real training began. There’s no real strict rules to it but my advice to anyone joining is to attend at least one training session a week. You’ll progress faster and also it will give you a good idea of the time commitment. Each session is in the evening so, if you work typical hours, there’s no worries about work getting affected. We trained in search skills (it’s more complex than you’d think) as well as first aid, map reading, understanding the statistics of missing people and how to work with dogs. Several of the people on my phase of recruitment decided to train

their dogs as search dogs. We all had to be police vetted as well, that’s something worth mentioning and you can’t go on searches for real until that’s done. All your qualifications are noted and once you’ve got them all it was off to a three day residential course in Wiltshire to bring all the skills together and be tested. This was a real challenge but a satisfying one - I was on air driving back from that! Once that was done I was made operational, and the funny thing is it doesn’t stop there. There’s still training every week, and the team become a bit like a new family which is great. I should say though it’s a big time-commitment; the calls can come at any time and your qualifications have to be renewed every few months so there’s no resting on your laurels. My first call out happened at 11pm just as I was climbing into bed…

HISTORY: COCKER NASH

“Each tale better than the last - honestly Bernard Cornwall didn’t have s*** on Cocker when it came to tales of the war.” Excellent.

t seems every generation has them. The old sweat at the bar, going on and on about past exploits, sitting on his stool, having the drinks poured for him first because he pays the landlord’s wage. Well, there’s an old tale of one such village stalwart and his name was Cocker Nash. He’s a good old local legend.

offensive at Salamanca, coming up with the idea of using Flanking in an Oblique order and telling Wellington, rescuing Spanish ladies from the clutches of the French and so forth. Each tale better than the last honestly Bernard Cornwall didn’t have s*** on Cocker when it came to tales of the war.

Now Cocker was a fish hawker from Farnham - kind of a travelling fish salesman. So you can imagine the look and smell of the man as he carted around fish caught from a sea that was several hours away with no refrigeration. Understandably he probably found it difficult being near himself, but that didn’t stop him popping into the pub after a particularly good day spreading Scombroid goodness amongst the local population. Anyway, who could begrudge a man a pint after a good day at the office? So, a pint of Midden Peculiar and a Jaeger bomb it was then.

“Nothing,” said the legend propping up the bar, “nothing could scare old Cocker Nash”.

Then as now, the standard was for everyone else in the pub to not pay much attention. Cocker Nash didn’t really give a toss anyway; “sod it, I’ll stay here get righteous and tell tales”. There were all the classics of the Peninsular War that of course featured him front and centre of the action. Leading the

Maybe it was because he had drunk his body weight in ale that saw him saunter off into the night, declaring love to a lamppost, taking 3 steps forward and 4 sideways by way of a particularly unyielding bush. Who knows, but it was a night with no moon. This may seem trivial now but before street lights and the neon loveliness of the modern high street, no moon made for a dark journey. When he looked up from the ditch he’d just chundered in he realised he was lost somewhere in Waverley woods. Cocker had cocked up. It was a little scary in the woods; A rustle of a dogger here, a snap of the twig there, the swoosh of the owl as it flies on its way to Hogwarts. All the training that had seen him through the war kicked in and he knew what to do:

By Will Knowlton “Man Lost” he called out “Oh Jesus Christ! Man Lost!” There was no reply and Cocker was starting to flap good style. He was going to have to spend the night under the trees. He’d never done that; he’d always been warm in the tent the Catering Corp used. All at once through the gloom he heard: “Who? Who?” Yes! Someone had heard him and was asking his name - he was going to get out of here! “It’s me!” he cried “It’s Cocker Nash from Farnham!” The apparent saviour had obviously not heard him; “Who? Who?” “It’s me, Cocker Nash from Farnham!” This guy really wasn’t listening “Who? Who?” Now Old Cocker boy was desperate and, with his voice cracking ever so slightly and releasing a small fart of fear he screamed back: “Cocker Nash from Farnham! Don’t leave me here, I beg of you!” Alas, Cocker was a d*ck. Cocker had not heard someone, Cocker had heard the pigeons calling out “Coo Coo…”

I just interviewed the amazing Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Nothing sounds like summer more than the hypnotic harmonies of South Africa’s finest. They’re coming to Woking at the end of July to perform Inala: a Zulu Ballet – I’m there for sure with bells and whistles.

RICH LEE | WRITER, RESTAURANT BOTHERER Honestly? I’m still mourning GuilFest. I love festivals but I’m also incredibly lazy, so if Surrey can deliver it to my doorstep, I’m there! Fortunately, we’ve got Godalming’s two day festival Staycation at the start of August to look forward to, and this month’s Party in the Park in Woking’s always good for a laugh. You’ll find me near the food stands where I’ll be… conducting ‘research’.

ROBB GRANT | SALES, PUN LABOURER Im looking forward to Secretts Thai Festival (29-31August), because I herb it’s always good! No, it’s because in the height of summer there’s no way it will be chilli! Oh and it’s near my pad! ouch! Plus I can’t make it to Thailand this year, but Milford is doable, I’ll be sure to be up at the crack of prawn s as not to miss it... am I fired yet?

JAMES PARKER | SALES, TIPPLER Having recently got married, and having just come back from my honeymoon in the Philippines, I need to save some money. Well, a lot of money if I’m honest. So I plan to have a very quiet time, enjoying the local taverns and in particular the cider festival at the Royal Oak in Knaphill. Okay, that might not be quiet or cheap!

Every month we hit our county’s high streets to find out what our fellow citizens feel about all manner of topics, be they fun or serious. But for this issue, we thought we’d give residents and readers a little respite from our benign brand of questioning and turn it on ourselves instead. Just like you we’re all cock-a-hoop and fizzing with joy that the glorious English summer has well and truly arrived. So with that in mind, just how is the irrepressible pirate crew that peddle this perky publication going to spend it?

JOE PAYNE | WEB EDITOR CONTENT KING I’m looking forward to the G Live beer festival and the prospect of maybe seeing Surrey’s Kevin Pietersen play in the ashes and a dip in the Lido pool as well. I’m not looking forward to my 30th, however, which represents both the end of summer (September) and my youth.

So many outdoor cinemas around at the moment but not one compares to the rooftop cinema in Camberley. Five evenings of legendary films 100 feet up in the air? Done!

TALKING TO…

JOLIE PAPILLON By Alexander D’Arcy When did you first get into burlesque dancing? I started 5 years ago. I auditioned for numerous shows as a dancer and then I literally found this company who were looking for dancers for their burlesque show. Later I heard from them and they wanted to me to be part of their show for New Year’s Eve. I said yes and then a few days later I was opening a burlesque show in London and from then on I’ve never stopped. What does Burlesque mean to you? To me it means expressing my creativity, my femininity. How did you feel the first time you performed to an audience? Very nervous actually, even though I’ve performed since I was quite young as a dancer, it was such a new thing for me. Not so much because of the strip-tease elements, but because for the first time it was me on my own delivering my own creation. So I was nervous but really excited at the same time. Previously I was always part of a group or company doing cabaret or musical theatre. I’d always been given things to perform or have had to be the choreographer for the whole team but not just for me as an artiste, so coming up with a burlesque routine was a new thing for me. What can people expect from one of your performances? Lots of energy, fun, interaction and I think a different burlesque style to what people have seen before. Quite different I think. I think most of my performances are really quite passionate so hopefully that will come out.

The Hundred Watt Club has been taking Surrey, Hampshire and beyond by storm over the past couple of years. For their date at Aldershot’s West End Centre on the 11th July, we caught up with the headline act; international, award winning Burlesque Artiste and Showgirl extraordinaire Miss Jolie Papillon. Do you feel there has been or is a resurgence in burlesque dancing? I always seem to see events here, there and everywhere. Why do you think that is? I think because ladies especially want to celebrate their femininity in their own ways. They’re really trying to find a way to be more confident in life in general. I think that’s what Burlesque does, it’s really celebrating women in all forms and shapes. And it helps you to feel free from many of the social constraints and agendas, like how society will tell us we need to look a certain way to feel good about themselves. It’s all about empowering women.

What advice would you give to budding burlesque dancers out there? Research, study and try to find your own unique way of expressing yourself. I think formal dance training can help even if it’s for a short period of time. Ballet dancing or theatre school. I’ve actually just come from a Japanese Dance class as part of my research for a new act I want to perform. So hard and work and research are always important to me. Head to the Hundred Watt Club which will be at the Aldershot West End Centre on 11th July to catch the wonder that is Jolie Papillon.

WHERE TO EAT: The Foresters, Church Crookham

“

I fell on a handsome bronze slab of pork belly sat atop rich clouds of mashed potato jacked up with black pudding…

”

We went down to the woods one day and found more than a few surprises at this inviting country pub and restaurant… If a grizzly bear had ambled past our table window, or a ma jestic bald eagle had landed in the beer garden outside, I doubt I would have been all that surprised. Sheltered in the Fleet woodlands, such was the spell that the Foresters and its leafy surrounds cast on us. With its log and timber decor and quasi-colonial façade; let your mind drift for a moment and it’s hard to tell if you’re in a country pub in Hampshire or a hunting lodge in the foothills of the Rockies. In any case, such first impressions make a great start to a lunch and hint heavily at why the Foresters Country Pub outside Church Crookham has been such a draw for locals and visitors alike for years, lured no doubt by the peaceful, natural surroundings and cabin cosy interior. Making our way through the pub, we weaved past comfy snugs, booths and bays to take a table in the bright and busy restaurant that features a remarkable log frame construction as its centrepiece, suspending a wood burner for the colder months. Service came with an easy smile and in no time we were pouring over a menu that offers unpretentious, yet no less appetising, homemade food. Seeing bubble and squeak on any menu always puts a smile on my face. Add a

poached egg, oozing over crispy Parma ham such as this starter and you’ve as good as won me over already. Other than a sad, water-thin hollandaise, this simple, happy little dish was all kinds of spot on. If crispy duck dumplings don’t exactly scream English country pub, these delicious orbs of stringy, sweet and earthy duck meat coated in a light, crisp, golden tempura batter, as well as hoi sin sauce, cucumber and yoghurt, shouted with smart flavours all the same. Mains brought quite a superb dish of pankissed fillets of sea bass atop a tumble of cherry tomatoes, red onions and new potatoes. With smoky chunks of chorizo thrown in and the waft of lemons over everything, this plate hummed with more than a little Mediterranean sunshine. Flying the flag (I’d like to think) for those who like their pub grub on the heartier end of the spectrum, I fell on a handsome bronze slab of pork belly sat atop curly kale and rich clouds of mashed potato jacked up with black pudding. This favourite pub standard was given a tantalising Moroccan twist, with the golden crackling lifted with the bright spice of fennel seeds and cumin. A welcome point of difference from many pubs, every dish is neatly paired with a wine from the pub’s extensive list which, among several excellent Chilean and New Zealand wines features a notable presence from celebrated Australian winemakers d’Arenberg. With my vision swimming ever so slightly after such a spirited encounter with good

pork, desserts lightened things up with a smooth and silky pannacotta draped in ginger, berries and roast pears. In fact, we learned that our visit came just as the pub’s menus were taking a seasonal turn towards lighter dishes in general. But this glimpse of the kind of filling, satisfying pub fare offered by the Foresters outside of the summer months left us with autumn and a return visit on our minds.

FIRE IT UP!

e in Britain all know and love our barbeques - those lazy summer days outside in the garden,beer in hand, lads around the grill and the kids running around like loons. Well, we’re definitely not alone in this world, and our cousins over the pond have a few bright ideas in the old barbeque department. So I thought I’d share, as I feel it’s time for us lot in the UK to take it beyond carbonated sausages and dry chicken legs. How did we start Barbequing? Generally historians believe that when landing in the Caribbean, the Spanish used the word “barbacoa” to describe the way the Amerindians slow-cooked meat. Fast forward to the 19th century, this way of cooking had spread across the American South. Now, pigs were prevalent in the region and this meant pork became the primary meat at barbecues. In the south the climate is warm and humid, which meant wheat was prone to fungal infections, so corn bread became the side dish of choice. Our Texan cousins like rubs (no, not like that). Rubs are various herbs and ingredients that are (surprise, surprise) rubbed onto whatever particular meat you decide to cook. The infusion melts into the meat giving it an amazing flavour and coupled with a slow cooking time, makes it super tender as well. So take a leaf out of their book and try this on for size a spot of smoked Barbeque brisket. This is a traditional brisket rub and probably one of the most common in the Lone Star State. It’s amazingly

The Great British Barbie season is upon us, with the warmth and sunshine (or not) compelling us to don aprons and grab the tongs ready for a summer of great al fresco cook-offs.

easy to make and has everything you need to make a delicious piece of brisket. The rub gives the meat a perfect balance of sweetness and the saltiness. Added to all this, brisket isn’t sold that often in butchers so the meat will be quite reasonably priced (try Fulk Brothers in Pirbright). Preparation time? About 10 minutes, so nice and easy. But you’ll have to leave it overnight to let the rub soak in. This is a recipe for a party barbeque, not an impromptu quick one with mates. You’ll need a BBQ with a lid and you need to get up in the morning to light and get the barbeque going. The meat needs to cook “slow and low” so start in the morning and your brisket should be ready by mid-afternoon

TEXAS BBQ DRY RUB INGREDIENTS Æ 113 grams cup paprika Æ 75 grams brown sugar Æ 3 tablespoons garlic powder Æ 3 tablespoons onion powder Æ 2 tablespoons oregano

PREPARATION:

Æ 2 tablespoons salt

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.

Next, score the meat and work the rub gently into the surface of the brisket, especially over the exposed meat.

Wrap the meat in foil and leave it overnight to let all the goodness soak in. If you don’t use all the rub it stores really well; just throw it in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dark place like your dry food cupboard - a fridge is probably a bit too chilly.

Picnic Perfection To make sure your picnics go off without a hitch we’ve pulled together some tips and inspiration to help you go al fresco this summer. TRAVEL LIGHT

o less than cookery legend Delia Smith says: “I feel many people go wrong by trying to transport the sort of meal they would eat at home: it just doesn’t taste the same on squashy paper plates with plastic knives and forks in sizes fit only for four year olds. “For me, real plates, cutlery and glasses are infinitely preferable to anything in the plastic line. We also have some thick chunky glasses, which may not look very sophisticated but are far nicer – especially if you’re drinking wine – than paper cups.” A few indispensable extras include pepper and salt, corkscrews, bottle openers, wet wipes, a sharp knife and – for true authenticity – a throw out blanket, preferably with a waterproof back

OF FOOD AND DRINK

ilda Leyel, author of the 1936 book The Perfect Picnic, sagely observed that “the art of arranging meals is to choose dishes that are better cold than they would be hot.” Think salads, both veg and pasta types, pies, cheese, crusty bread, charcuterie like parma ham and salami, ripe plum tomatoes, cheese, chutneys, olives, fresh strawberries and cream, cupcakes and, of course, all the wine you can carry. How the Victorians would have envied our modern wine coolers. ). Be cautious of dishes made with mayonnaise or other ingredients that may spoil in the heat. Go for vinegarbased salads and spreads, which keep well in a cooler and save a few calories too. Fruit punches are great carried in thermos flasks and are a better alternative to sugary soft drinks for the kids (providing they’re not laced with booze, of course.)

LOCATION, LOCATION

eauty spots abound in Surrey but the great thing about picnics is that not only can they make a perfect excuse to get out for their own sake, they can

be brought with you on a visit to virtually any place of interest (providing there’s adequate green space, of course). So think historic homes and castles, theme parks and zoos and festivals to name just a few. If you’re truly venturing into the countryside though, a few light supplies won’t slow you down, but a significant al fresco banquet is best enjoyed close to the car park you arrived at for no other reason than who wants to haul hampers and cool bags for miles? Truly savvy picnickers will often choose a spot near to a hospitable pub, just in case the weather turns. And for beer.

“WE RECOMMEND” FRIMLEY LODGE PARK

Martha, intrepid explorer aged two years & 7 months, visited Little Street in Camberley with mummy to see what community spirit is really like in the land of the little ones. First Impressions Visiting Little Street was an incredibly calm experience, almost serene when considering the venue is essentially a toddler paradise. The attending children interacted very well, both in group situations and when playing independently of other children, within the shared space. Occasional melt downs over access to certain toys / play areas did occur, but again these seemed to be shorted lived and swiftly dealt with by parents. The Streets are Alive with the Sound of Children The play zone is essentially split into numerous scaled down versions of every day environments. There is a café, hairdressers, doctor’s surgery, mini supermarket, building site and fire engine, plus a dressing up room and performance area equipped with musical instruments. As well as the dedicated dressing up zone, many of the areas of play have costumes to accompany the activity – doctors & nurses uniforms in the surgery etc. A huge amount of detail has been included in each area – a fact which I am sure results in very engrossed play from the attending children. Martha’s Favourite Area Martha immediately gravitated towards the doctor’s surgery and mini supermarket. I was the lucky recipient of a full medical courtesy of Martha and another little girl she befriended and, other than a somewhat over-zealous ear examination, I left the surgery in one piece……! To be honest, both areas were so well fitted out that I fear for the doctors / members of staff we encounter in Sainsbury’s in the future. I am sure Martha now believes she is fully equipped to work in either environment!

Is Parental Input Required? Basically, yes! There is a coffee shop and seating at one end of the venue and parents did make use of this area during the session. However, if you are not with your child/children all the time, I would say regular check-ins are advisable. The children really did interact very well together, but little squabbles are hard to avoid and much easier to defuse with a parents close by.

Ideal Age Range? The venue primarily targets under 7’s, but does not exclude older children. From my experience today I would say it is ideally suited to preschool children. Extra Info There is parking immediately outside the venue in the National Rail Car Park and parking is £1 for the day. Both adults and children must wear socks. Each children’s ticket admits one adult, but additional adult tickets can be purchased. Between sessions the venue shuts to allow staff to put each play zone back together again! As such, if you arrive early the venue will not be open. The café provides a range of ‘fun’ snacks (crisps, biscuits, fresh cake) plus hot and cold drinks. Overall Experience Excellent!

VISUALLY IMPAIRED CRICKET: GARY DUNFORD Are you visually impaired or know someone who is? Do you/ they want to play cricket? Good, we’re on the same page. Frimley Green Cricket Club has, since 2010, been running a Visually Impaired Cricket Club that’s come on leaps and bounds in recent years. We spoke to General Manager, Gary Dunford, on how it all began and how it’s different to the traditional game. Gary, how’d Frimley Green VI Cricket Club come about? “Well, my daughter is visually impaired and she’s always enjoyed cricket. However, all I knew of at the time was Blind Cricket, so I did some research and found a few Visually Impaired Cricket teams in Hampshire and Maidenhead – these being the closest to us in Surrey. “At the time I was part of the board at Frimley Green CC, so I contacted Surrey CCC and basically asked them: “What are you doing about this? Why Don’t Surrey do this?” and that’s how it began.”

Visually Impaired England team and three of our girls are in the England women’s set-up too. So we’re certainly giving players an opportunity they previously didn’t have.”

How does the game differ from the traditional game of cricket? “The game itself is similar. There are two types of VI Cricket: there’s the domestic game and the international game – they differ slightly. “The domestic game includes

with slight changes. “The International game is a little different. The ball that’s used is the same size as a traditional cricket ball - again with ball bearings inside it. However the stumps are the same. There are different rules depending on how impaired your vision is, but that’s something people can learn.

And how do people get involved? “We’re always looking for new members and if people do want to get involved or just give it a try they just need to contact me. It’s a matter of spreading the word really. We’re always growing and it doesn’t matter how old or experienced you are, everyone should give it a go”

“we’re giving players an opportunity they previously didn’t have”

How’ve you found participation since its creation in 2010? “At first, as you can imagine, it was a slow process. We were getting the word out there and that wasn’t easy. We gained around eight members within the first few months and it’s grown steadily from there. “One of our male players has been called-up to the Men’s

slightly taller and wider, white stumps and the ball that’s used is a size three football with ball bearings in to create a noise when in motion. “There are four different sight classifications for players, for which the rules slightly differ depending on their sight. It’s almost exactly the same as the cricket you and me know, but
