Hi there all,

May is such a fabulous month, not least because we have two Bank Holidays, with one to look forward to at the end of the month!

This month sees a new category within the pages of the Express, namely our ‘Family Announcement’ section. This can consist of anything you would like to announce about your family; from new arrivals to engagements, special occasions and parties to birthdays - it’s a great, affordable method of letting everyone know your news. See the new section later in the magazine, with just the beginnings of hopefully, a booming category.

Enjoy the sunshine!

COME FLY WITH ME Simulators Midlands ...With Flight

When Captain Chris Rigby retired from operational flying 2 years ago, he wondered how he could somehow utilise the flying knowledge that he had acquired over the last 40 years. With over 20,000 flight hours, mainly on the Boeing 737, and having worked for Britannia/Thomsons Airways, British Airways, easyJet and lastly Ryanair, he wanted to find something that would allow him to share that experience with everyone who was interested in flying.

from and the flight is over all too soon.

Highly recommended on Trip Advisor, this is an experience not to be missed. New simulators cost over £5million, so these are real boys toys.

Chris, who regularly lectures about aviation on cruise ships around the world and runs Fear of Flying courses, hit on the idea of buying and operating a flight simulator for the general public to live out their dream. He located a real motion simulator, a Boeing 737-800, originally owned by Sabena Airlines of Belgium, that was for sale. This was shipped to Coventry Airport last May and has since then it has had hundreds of wanabee pilots testing their metal in one of the most pressure environments in the world.

Just recently a Boeing 747-400, which was one of Aer Lingus’s training machines has been added to the fleet and is now ready for boarding. Most of the instructors at Flight Simulators Midlands are retired airline pilots who have thousands of hours in aircraft of all types and have flown the world.

Situated in the hangar of the Coventry Aeroplane Club, would be pilots first have a half hour briefing on how a modern aircraft flies and works. They then make their way past the real aircraft in the hangar before boarding the aircraft of their choice. Their instructor will make sure they are seated comfortably and strapped in and they are off, around the mountains of Salzburg or the skyscrapers of Hong Kong.

Guests can choose from a number of different airports, worldwide, to fly to and

Chris is pleased to offer through the Express Advertiser, a Spring offer of a full hours flight for the price of 30 minutes.

Please mention this article when ringing to book or get a gift voucher for the pilot of your dreams.

Chris told the Advertiser that many professional pilots have visited FSM to brush up their skills before going for interviews with airlines and all have been successful so far.

Chris’s Fear of Flying courses, held at the company’s offices at Coventry Airport also include a quick flight in one of the simulators. They have helped many frightened fliers back into the air and anyone wanting help to overcome their fear can contact Chris through Flight Simulators Midlands.

2 observers permitted in each simulator free of charge. Wheelchair access to the 747 for flying or watching. Minimum age for flying 14. See website T&C’s for other age restrictions.

overlapping of the skull bones and compression.

Some compressions are relieved spontaneously after birth as the baby cries or suckles however this un-moulding process is often incomplete, especially if the birth has been difficult. Babies who have experienced forceps delivery, a long labour or caesarean birth often require the attention of a qualified cranial osteopath.

Symptoms That Can Be Treated With Cranial Osteopathy Many midwives and health visitors are now recommending new mothers to bring their babies for an osteopathic check up shortly after the birth to prevent problems associated with cranial compressions. These include: • Discomfort whilst lying on the back • Excess mucous production • Headaches • Flat Head or Odd Shaped Head • Suckling/Feeding difficulties The secondary effects of unresolved cranial compressions are wide-ranging and can lead to: • Colic or Excessive Crying; • Regurgitation; • Sinus problems; • Sleep disturbances; • Unsettled restless babies

Osteopathy For Children In older children symptoms that can be treated with cranial osteopathy include headaches, postural problems and aches and pains associated with growing.

The longer a problem is left, the more complex the body’s

adaptation becomes and consequently, the more difficult it is to return the body to a state of wellbeing. Several of the conditions we develop in adulthood can be traced back to birth trauma that

has been left uncorrected.

How Does Cranial Osteopathy For Babies and Children Work?

Cranial osteopathy is very gentle, safe and effective. Specific gentle pressure is applied wherever necessary (not only on the head) to enable the inherent healing ability of the body to aid the release of stresses.

Reactions to treatment are variable, often the baby or child is very relaxed afterwards and sleeps well. Others have a burst of energy after treatment, usually followed by a good night sleep.

Occasionally the child may seem unsettled and this is merely because treatment may take a few hours or days to complete. On

average, 2 to 6 treatments are sufficient. This varies according to the severity of the actual problem and the age of the child.

WHAT IS PARKINSON’S DISEASE? To raise awareness for MS awareness week between 29th April and 5th May Emma Thomas Specialist in Neurological and Stroke Physiotherapy is writing about the condition this month. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition which affects around 100,000 people in the UK. Most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20-40, but it can affect younger and older people too. Almost three times as many women have MS as men.

What is MS? MS happens because of damage to the nerve fibres in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Nerves enable the brain to communicate with the body; they are coated with a substance called myelin that helps messages to be relayed quickly and smoothly along them. When someone has MS their immune system mistakes myelin for a foreign body and attacks it causing it to be stripped partially or completely from the nerves. This causes the messages that travel along the nerves to be slowed down, distorted or lost altogether. The damage to the myelin is accrued over time and this is what causes the accumulation of disability in people with MS. No one really knows what the exact cause of MS is. There are a lot of theories but most experts agree that it is a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Research into the different theories of what causes MS is on-going.

Symptoms of MS Symptoms can occur in any part of the body and affect each person differently. Most people will develop a few of the symptoms, but are unlikely to develop all of them. The way the symptoms develop is unpredictable with some people’s symptoms becoming steadily worse (progressive MS) and some people’s symptoms coming and going (relapsing remitting MS).

• Balance problems – balance needs a good interaction between our eyes, parts of the inner ear and the sensory feedback from the body, the brain needs to process the information. A disruption to the nerve supply from any of these can cause balance problems.

• Sensory changes – changes can cause numbness or tingling.

• Spasms and stiffness – this is described as spasticity.

It is an increase in the tone, the resistance or tension, of a muscle. It makes muscles harder to move and harder to relax.

• Tremor – this is a rhythmical shaking that cannot be controlled. They can be small movements of large movements.

• Dizziness – the inner ear gives our brain information on how the head is positioned, if these messages become unclear it can result in dizziness.

• Difficulty walking – this can be as a result of a number of factors including muscle weakness, spasticity, poor balance, dizziness, fatigue and pain.

• Pain – pain can be musculoskeletal, from the muscles and joints or can be neuropathic, caused by the damage to the nerves.

• Poor vision – the first sign of MS for around 1 in 5 people is problems with the eyes. Problems can include reduced vision, colour blindness, involuntary movements of the eyes (nystagmus), and eye pain.

• Fatigue – this can be very difficult to explain to other people. It is an overwhelming tiredness that can fluctuate day-to-day, week-to-week and even within the space of a day.

• Cognitive problems – these are problems with memory and thinking. It can become difficult to remember recent events, to remember to do things and to solve problems.

• Reduced bladder and bowel function – this can cause incontinence or constipation.

• Problems with speech or swallowing – this can be problems with forming the words with the mouth and tongue or finding the right words. The ability to swallow can be affected.

• Mental health problems – it is quite common for people

www.express-press.co.uk t:01926 815935

with MS to have episodes of depression and also anxiety.

How can a neurological physiotherapist help with MS?

• Exercises to strengthen muscles, stretch and maintain flexibility • Improve balance and reduce falls • Teach how to get up if someone does fall • Reduce spasticity (stiff, high toned muscles) • Problem solve difficulties with day-to-day tasks • Exercise programmes for fitness and strengthening • Teach carers about the best way to move and handle you • Advice and support • Referral to other professionals Physiotherapy is very effective in treating some of the symptoms associated with MS and can be helpful at any stage in the disease process. Neurological physiotherapists have specialised training and experience in treating people with neurological problems such as MS. Emma Thomas has lots of experience in treating people with MS and has successfully helped people to regain independence and mobility.

She works with her clients to achieve their own personal goals. She is able to provide a comprehensive exercise programme for people to help them to maintain their fitness and strength and is very keen to try to help people to return to exercise that they enjoy and is meaningful to them. If you would like to know more, or think that Emma might be able to help you or a relative with any neurological condition please get in touch with her.

...what’s on in the local area?

Women’s Group Seeks New Members Banbury National Women’s Register (NWR) is hoping to set up a second group and is looking for new members.

NWR is a national organisation with a network of local groups, and members meet in each other’s homes for discussions on a variety of topics, speakers and social events.

There are already several women interested, including Jenny Drake who recently moved to the area. Jenny says “I went to NWR meetings in Salisbury, so I was keen to join a group here and meet new people. I have

been really welcomed and am looking forward to seeing this new group get off the ground.”

Each group plans its own programme, and recent topics in Banbury, where the group meets on a fortnightly basis, have included The Greatest Elizabethan, 101 things to do before you die, and looking at a newspaper cutting of the day.

For more information ring Val on 01295 369244 or Heather on 01295 254758.

Middleton Cheney Art Group The Middleton Cheney Art Group will be holding

us a subject, which will usually last for the five

this year. It will be at Limes Farm at Farthinghoe

ally start with a demonstration and then we try to

their annual Art Exhibition at a change of venue until Wednesday 29th May. There is plenty of

parking and can be reached on the 500 bus from the village. It will be open from 9am to 5pm on Mondays to Saturdays and 10am to 5pm on Sundays.

The class was set up in 2007 so has been in

existence for 6 years We meet once a week for three hours for painting, drawing and chatting.

The class is run by our tutor Caroline Chappell,

who teaches mixed media, drawing and painting techniques and also holds occasional one or

two day workshops during the year. Caroline has

recently won the reward for best newcomer in the Art 2 exhibition and was rewarded by her own exhibition at the Art College in Banbury.

The year is split into sessions of five weeks, with

sessions, with the first one as drawing. We generemulate Caroline, but even with help, some of us struggle, although we have a good laugh trying.

It is a small friendly group, who also socialise for lunches and outings. Coach trips to exhibitions are occasionally arranged and are usually very enjoyable with good attendance. The last one was to the Manet and Hunter exhibitions.

We hope that our loyal fans will visit as usual and hope that we can encourage new visitors. We

would like an opportunity to show off our work, including unfinished ones and you might see

something that you would like to buy, as some will be for sale.

If you are interested in joining the group, there will be information available at the show.

GARDENING ADVICE FOR MAY...

May is a capricious month, one day lulling you into a sense of security with balmy temperatures and sunshine, and then next day surprising you with a sharp frost. However tempting it is to get all those plants you have lovingly grown (or bought) planted outside, this is a time when you need to be cautious. Frosts have been known in this region as late as the end of May so be prepared and have fleece at hand to tuck round sensitive plants when the forecast looks dodgy.

shortages we should all be diligent in using water as economically as possible.

Mulching exposed soil with decorative bark will prevent precious moisture evaporating. Try cutting the bottom off a plastic drinks bottle and up ending it in the ground at the base of crops like courgettes so the water goes directly to the roots where it’s needed. Only water at night so the plants get a chance to take up the moisture before the sun starts evaporating it. And use as much ‘grey’ water from washing up etc as you can.

Winds can cause havoc with taller plants or those with heavy blooms, and now is a good time to establish your supports for the plants to grow through. Using canes, twigs or purpose made support structures will ensure any inclement weather doesn’t ruin your herbaceous displays. Peonies have particularly striking, opulent blooms and benefit from being supported so you can get the benefit of their romantic beauty.

Finally, choose plants which respond well to drier conditions. The lovely peony, for instance, is surprisingly drought tolerant once it’s established. Lavenders, Hebes, Perovskia, Nicotiana, Geraniums all thrive in dry conditions.

If there’s one thing young plants need, it’s the right irrigation. In view of current water

Other jobs to do in the garden: When tying in climbing roses try to get the stems to go as horizontal as possible to encourage more blooms.

Apply a liquid fertiliser to bulbs to a

store up energy for next year’s flowering.

Earth up potato plants as they grow.

Roses are prone to all sorts of problems and will benefit from regular spraying against pests and diseases. Timetable a fortnightly application to ensure top performance.

Advertising with The Express has brought me so much business, I am not having to do any further advertising in papers or magazines.

My business has flourished as so many of my ladies have seen my ad here. I am so grateful to them and would recommend their friendly, professional and effective service to any businesses wanting to advertise their services.
