Karols Korner Christmas is coming!! For those of you that love Christmas it can be a magical time of year, but please remember that there are many people for whom Xmas is not a happy time, this may be a good time to chat to an elderly neighbour and make sure they have plans for the festive season or maybe even invite them to join you, giving of ourselves can be harder than buying gifts! If you are alone this Christmas, what about volunteering to help at a charity Christmas lunch? It gets you out of the house and I promise you will feel great for helping out. Scarlett, Gromit and Wally are off to the EuroDogshow in Belgium in November, my nails are getting shorter! Wish us luck!

BLACK FRIDAY & CYBER MONDAY: WILL YOU BAG A BARGAIN? It’s the annual online shopping frenzy, but not all bargains are brilliant. At the end of November the UK will celebrate a fairly new annual event: Black Friday. It’s an import from the US, where retailers kick-started the Christmas shopping season with big bargains, and now it happens here too. This year Black Friday falls on 24th November, but there will be deals for the week running up to it and in the days afterwards too, most notably Cyber Monday on 27th November. One of the biggest Black Friday players is Amazon, which extended the shopping weekend to what it called Black Friday Deals Week in 2016. Other retailers have followed suit, making Black Friday a week-long event that often carries across well into the next week. It’s mainly an online event, although some High Street chains take part too, and while the emphasis in previous years has been on electric and electronic items such as home electricals, computing and gadgets, the scope has been widening to encompass fashion, jewellery and other distinctly low-tech 1 items too. Are the bargains real? The short answer is “hmmmâ€?. Prices are often displayed on the basis of how they compare to the recommended UHWDLO SULFH EXW LQ PDQ\ FDVHV WKDW¡V Ă€FWLRQ LQ HOHFWURQLFV \RX¡OO RIWHQ Ă€QG 79V ZLWK DQ 553 RI thousands being sold everywhere for half that amount. If you’re considering a big-ticket item such as a television or other expensive electrical products, it’s well worth using sites such as PriceSpy to see what other retailers are offering or CamelCamelCamel to see what Amazon has previously been charging. For example, at the time of writing (not Black Friday!), Amazon is offering 6
a saving of £539 on the /* 8- 9 79 EULQJLQJ the price down from £2,099 to 2 £1,560 - but CamelCamelCamel shows that the highest price Amazon has charged was £1,699. It’s still a saving, but it’s not as big as it seems. That’s not to say there aren’t real bargains to be had. There are, but they’re in among a lot of endof-line stock and carefully negotiated deals with suppliers. The best deals tend to be on the things ZLWK WKH KLJKHVW SURÀW PDUJLQV VR IRU H[DPSOH LI you’re looking for a PlayStation 4 you’ll see bigger discounts on bundles - combinations of consoles, accessories and games - than on the console by LWVHOI EHFDXVH WKH SURÀW PDUJLQV RQ EXQGOHV KDYH more wiggle room. The trick to bagging a great bargain on Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the days before and after is to know what you want, know what you want to spend and know what the going rate for a particular product is - and to make use of the price checkers we’ve already mentioned. It helps LI \RX¡UH à H[LEOH WRR WKH OLNHOLKRRG RI D VSHFLÀF PRGHO RI 79 EHLQJ RIIHUHG DW WKH ULJKW SULFH LV TXLWH low, but if you’re willing to consider very similar models or models from other manufacturers you’ll RIWHQ ÀQG WKDW \RX FDQ JHW ZKDW \RX ZDQW IRU WKH price you’re willing to pay.

15th Newark Vintage Tractor and Heritage Show On 11 & 12 November, the largest UK show of its kind will be held at Newark Showground. This familyfriendly event attracts crowds not just for the hundreds of lovingly restored vintage machines on show but also for the wide variety of trade stands, entertaining demonstrations and educational displays of all things agricultural. As well as the nostalgic sight of the vintage machinery, there will be a collection of Rare and Native Breeds on display to both educate and inform the visitor. Located in the John Eastwood Buildings, ponies, sheep, goats and cattle will provide a unique glimpse into the UK’s farming heritage that has shaped our island. There will be demonstrations of hand spinning, wood carving and wood turning with items for sale, plus stick-making, and photography alongside displays of dairy equipment, a Shepard’s Hut, and horse drawn ploughs from bygone days. Santa will be taking a break from his busy preparations to welcome our young visitors and hear their ‘Christmas Wish Lists’ and Jenny Woodcock will be bringing the endearing Haughton Park Reindeer which were such a popular sight at the show last year. As part of the organiser’s new Education Project at Newark Showground they will be running several exciting free competitions with some super prizes including a grand prize draw where some lucky child can win two adult tickets (children up to 17 years go free) to the Nottinghamshire 20
County Show 2018. The show attracts a wide variety of indoor and outdoor trade stands offering opportunities to shop for products from country wear clothing, crafts and gifts, footwear, original paintings and prints, to sweet and savoury snacks, as well as items that will appeal to agricultural machinery enthusiasts. The website, www.newarkvintage tractorshow.com is regularly updated as is the list of trade stands attending. The Sunday morning Remembrance Service will be held amongst the vintage tractors displayed in the George Stephenson Exhibition Hall and is always well attended. Come early to be sure of a seat. The popular Sort Out returns on Sunday and Brown & Co will be holding the annual collective auction on the Saturday at 10am. Everyone is welcome to attend
the Saturday Night Do held at 6.30pm in The Cedric Ford with live music from a Gypsy Jazz Band. Tickets must be bought in advance and are great value at just £15 each for a twocourse dinner with a glass of wine. This year’s speaker is the highly entertaining and informative Mark Spencer, local farmer and MP for Sherwood.
If you are interested in sponsoring any aspect of this year’s show, please contact the show team, tractor@newarkshowground.com or see the website for further details.

And Another Thing... Tom and the Man Who Came to Dinner (Part 2) by Tom Hughes @groomsdaybook
Ken, my oldest friend (who had invited himself to stay chez Hughes), was trying to be as unobtrusive as possible.

After a week and a half into Ken’s three day stay, the novelty value of a house guest began to wear rather thin on Sarah (My Dearly Beloved), who became prone to tugging at my hem, pulling me to one side and saying, “Tom, we can’t just keep him here forever.”
“Anywhere nice, Sarah dear?”
“But, well you haven’t got a job and well, we thought by now, you see the thing is, my friend Barry has a building company and he’s looking for labourers and I’ve had a word and well, you can actually start tomorrow.” Aghast, Ken’s knees gave way as he leaned against the occasional table for support.

Three hours later and all seemed well with the world. Ken was in a good mood as we both became lachrymose, reminiscing about our salad days.

Beauty Christmas Gifts
by Kate Duggan www.kateduggan.co.uk It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a few ‘smellies’ under the tree. If you’re stuck for the perfect giftset this Christmas, look no further. FOR THE INTREPID TRAVELLER Whether she’s constantly jetting off on mini-breaks, or just pulls the tent out at the slightest opportunity, treat her to Elemis’ The Adventuress set. The six travel-friendly bestsellers include Ultra-Rich Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream (which smells amazing) and Smart Cleanse Micellar Water. You also get a case to keep them in. The products are worth £86, so the giftset is pretty good value at £54 from www.elemis.co.uk. FOR THE MAN IN YOUR LIFE Origins Men’s Grooming Treats looks to be a good buy. For £40 you get the Blade Runner shave cream, Save the Males moisturiser, Modern Friction exfoliating cream and Clear Improvement charcoal body wash. All the products are between 50ml and 150ml, and you’re saving over £15 on the cost of buying them separately. Plus you get a free wash bag. The shave cream in particular is sure to prove a hit. It smells good, soothes irritation, helps to avoid nicks and leaves skin feeling moisturised. See www. origins.co.uk. FOR THE GREEN GODDESS Optiat’s founders decided they wanted to do something about the amount of used coffee grounds that are discarded every year. So they started buying the grounds and turning them 24
Use Locally - Issue 55 November 2017 into luxurious face and body scrubs. Now Optiat has several ranges, all featuring at least one ingredient that would otherwise go to waste. The 100% natural soaps include antioxidant-rich chai spices. The soaps are very gentle and help to boost circulation and leave skin feeling smoother. They’re also crueltyfree, vegan and organic. Individually, the soaps cost £6.95 each, but you could treat your ecoFRQVFLRXV IULHQG WR DOO ÀYH ZLWK WKH Soap Block Collection for £29.95 from www.optiat.co.uk. FOR THE PERFECTIONIST Clarins have some fantastic giftsets out this Christmas. It’s hard to choose just one, but the Precious Lip Collection (£20) is pretty high on the list. Four miniature lip products are included: Joli Rouge lipstick in 742, Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in Honey and two Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors. They’re all very wearable colours, and you save over £11. Plus you get the obligatory free makeup bag, making it a really attractive little giftset. See www.clarins.co.uk. FOR BUSY MUMS AND WORKAHOLICS Rest Lavender Bath Salts by Neal’s Yard Remedies should go down a treat. Made with French sea salt and organic lavender essential oil, the bath salts help to draw out toxins, calm the mind and aid sleep. They come in a pretty little drawstring bag and you also get a wooden scoop. It’s £15, from www.nealsyardremedies.com. FOR LUXURY STOCKING FILLERS Sets that can be split into individual presents usually work out better value than buying separate gifts. 3DFLÀFD·V 0LQL %RG\ %XWWHUV giftset is £28.99, so less than £6 per tube. Each butter is richly scented and packed with skinloving natural ingredients such as cocoa butter, aloe vera and jojoba oil. See www.naturisimo. com.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month
Around 44,500 people in the UK are diagnosed with lung cancer every year. It’s one of the most feared, yet preventable, cancers. Lung Cancer Awareness Month aims to foster hope with news of new treatments and alleviate stigma, reminding us that lung cancer can affect anyone. LUNG CANCER CAUSES Smoking Smoking is responsible for 90% of all UK cases and 6 million deaths, worldwide, each year. Tobacco smoke contains 60 carcinogens and also causes breast, bowel (colorectal), blood, bladder, liver, mouth, pancreatic and stomach cancer. Cannabis also contains carcinogens. Starting smoking when young increases lung cancer risk, but quitting reduces risk to that of a non-smoker in 15 years. Passive Smoking Non-smoking women living with smoking partners are 25% more likely to develop lung cancer than those with nonsmokers. Smokers should never smoke near others or in their environment, as toxins can settle on surfaces and be re-released or form toxic compounds. It’s now illegal to smoke in a vehicle carrying under-18s. Environmental Toxins These include radon, arsenic, asbestos, beryllium, cadmium, coal and coke fumes, silica, nickel, diesel fumes and high levels of nitrogen oxide (mostly from vehicles). 26
Age and Genes About 80% of lung cancers occur in the over-60s and a family history of lung cancer may increase risk. SYMPTOMS OF LUNG CANCER If you have any of these symptoms, DO see your doctor immediately but DON’T panic; they can indicate less serious conditions. Common symptoms: • A new, persistent cough. • A long-standing cough that changes or worsens. • Persistent/frequent chest infections. • Pain or blood when coughing/ breathing. • Persistent breathlessness/ fatigue. • Loss or change of appetite. • Unexplained weight loss. Less common symptoms: )LQJHU FOXEELQJ ÀQJHUV become more curved or thicken DW WKH ÀQJHUWLS • High temperature. 'LIÀFXOW\ RU SDLQ ZKHQ swallowing. • Wheezing. • Hoarseness. • Swelling of your face or neck. • Persistent ache or pain in the chest or shoulder. • Pins and needles/numbness in ÀQJHUV WRHV • Drowsiness, weakness, dizziness and confusion. • Breast swelling in men. • Blood clots. • Severe pain in the shoulder or down the arm. • In one eye: drooping eyelid and/or a small pupil. • Loss of sweating on one side of the face. DIAGNOSING LUNG CANCER Your GP will assess your general health and breathing. They may refer you for a blood test and/or X-ray. If necessary, they’ll refer you to specialist who may
perform further tests including scans (ultrasound, CT or PET), a bronchoscopy and a biopsy. TYPES, STAGES AND TREATMENT OF LUNG CANCER The more common non-small FHOO OXQJ FDQFHU LV FODVVLÀHG LQ stages 1 to 4. Stage 1 is the least extensive, while Stage 4 indicates lung cancer that has spread to both lungs or other areas. Treatment depends on your health and the type, stage and position of your cancer. Treatments include: • Surgery. • Chemotherapy. • Radiotherapy. • Chemoradiotherapy. • Symptom relief. If you’re in good health and the cancer is in one lung, surgery followed by radiotherapy is often chosen. In other cases, chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy will be recommended. Small cell lung cancer usually spreads more quickly. It’s FODVVLÀHG DV ¶OLPLWHG· LI LW KDVQ·W spread beyond one lung and nearby lymph nodes, and ¶H[WHQVLYH· LI LW·V VSUHDG EH\RQG this. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy is usually recommended. New immunotherapy and targeted treatments are improving outcomes, so don’t delay a visit to the doctor.

Seventy Years of Marriage The Queen and Prince Philip but, unsurprisingly, he was courting older girls. However, he visited Windsor often and was entranced by the family feeling of Christmas there with Elizabeth in 1943, which his own life so lacked.
On 20th November, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip celebrate seventy years of marriage (the longest of any British monarch). We look back over their 75-year romance. A QUEEN IN WAITING AND A HANDSOME PRINCE Born on 21st April 1926 to Albert and Elizabeth, the Duke and Duchess of York, Princess Elizabeth became heir to the throne when her uncle’s abdication in 1936 made her father King George VI. Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark was born on 10 June 1921 to Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg. An oftentragic childhood was spent in exile with relatives, mainly in England without his parents. His mother was taken to an asylum when he was nine. After boarding school, he joined the Royal Navy and served during WWII. (OL]DEHWK DQG 3KLOLS ÀUVW PHW at a royal wedding in 1934, but in 1939 Philip gave 13-yearold Elizabeth a tour around Dartmouth Naval College. She was instantly smitten
28
AN UNSUITABLE BOY? After his posting home in January 1946, Philip regularly visited Buckingham Palace, carrying a picture of Elizabeth in his bag while she made noticeably more fuss about her appearance! In a letter, Philip wrote that he had “fallen in love completely and unreservedly.â€? But despite Philip’s loyal service and royal connections, the courtship wasn’t welcomed by all. Philip didn’t have the ‘right’ education, clothes or money - and had sisters married to Nazis. However, Philip’s uncle, Lord Mountbatten, worked to change popular opinion. When Philip proposed in summer 1946, the King consented but LQVLVWHG RQ GHOD\LQJ WKH RIĂ€FLDO announcement until Elizabeth turned 21. Philip renounced his Greek and Danish titles and was merely Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten on their RIĂ€FLDO HQJDJHPHQW LQ -XO\ 1947. Before the wedding, however, he was made Duke of Edinburgh, with Elizabeth becoming Duchess on their marriage. MARRIED LIFE Elizabeth and Philip married at Westminster Abbey on 20th November 1947. A year later their son Charles arrived,
followed by Anne in 1950. But family life was soon disrupted. In February 1953, Philip broke news of the King’s death to Elizabeth while in Kenya, and abandoned his naval career to support her in her new role. They moved to Buckingham Palace and Elizabeth was crowned on 5th June 1953 at Westminster Abbey, watched by millions on TV. Andrew and Edward, born in 1960 and 1964 respectively, completed their family. GOLDEN YEARS Throughout the years, they have continued to show affection and support for each other, enjoying the ups (jubilees, the arrival of grandchildren and greatgrandchildren) and weathering the downs (long separations from their children, family VFDQGDOV DQG GLYRUFHV Ă€UHV their ‘annus horribilis’). In a thoughtful gesture, the Queen gave her husband the title of Lord High Admiral, titular head of the Royal Navy, when he turned 90. “Their marriage is a true love story,’’ said former Buckingham Palace press secretary Dickie Arbiter. On their Golden Wedding anniversary in 1997, they paid touching tributes to each other. “He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years,â€? said the Queen. “Tolerance is the one essential ingredient in any happy marriage,â€? said Prince Philip. “The Queen has the quality of tolerance in abundance.â€?

Home & Interiors Scandi Winter Trends
By Katherine Sorrell games; a log burner. You get the idea. Overall, it’s not about spending money, but trying to be kind to yourself; hygge is when there’s nothing going on to worry or annoy you, and you’re able to take great pleasure from simple things.
If you thought lagom was a kind of bean and gluggavedur a creamy Christmas tipple, don’t miss Katherine Sorrell’s guide to the Scandinavian interiors trends that will see you (and your Instagram feed) through the winter.

HYGGE The best known of our Scandi set, hygge (named a word of the year 2016 by the Oxford dictionary) was massive last winter and it looks like it’s here to stay. Pronounced ‘hoog-uh’, the Danish word is not directly translatable into English, and can be a noun, verb or adjective, but the overall concept stands for cosiness and contentment, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, and enjoying good times with friends and family. When you recognise that special moment – it’s the feeling of hygge. It’s
well known that the Danes are the happiest people on the planet, and maybe it’s all because of hygge, which is an integral part of the nation’s culture and psyche. The high season for hygge is winter – it helps make long, dark evenings more bearable – and, especially, Christmas. Key elements? Home-cooked comfort food such as porridge or stews; eating with family or friends; candles (the Danes burn more candles than any other European nation) or pools of warm, well-positioned light; reading in front of the ÀUH RQ D UDLQ\ GD\ VTXDVK\ sofas and armchairs; a cup of warm cocoa (or tea in a china cup, or freshly brewed coffee, or home-made mulled wine); sheepskins, knitting (especially Fair Isle and hand-knitted socks); hot water bottles; piles of throws and cushions; board
LAGOM The lagom trend hails from Sweden, and it roughly translates as ‘not too little, not too much’ – in other words, just the right amount. It’s applied to everything, from drinking coffee to buying a house, and its aim is fairness and contentment (you know how well-adjusted the Swedes are). Apparently, while hygge is a momentary state of happiness, lagom is more to do with an overall approach to life. And this sense of moderation and balance extends naturally to home design – functional, unfussy, minimal and well-made pieces are key, with an emphasis on durability and sustainability. Remind you of anyone? You’ve guessed it – Ikea has created a LIVE Lagom project, in ZKLFK WKH 6ZHGLVK ÁDWSDFN superstore ‘supports customers and co-workers with products, workshops, bespoke advice and an active community to help save energy and water, reduce waste and promote a healthy lifestyle.’ How else can you incorporate a sense of lagom in your home? Well, keep things simple, declutter, tidy and organise your storage,

reduce your carbon footprint (time for LED light bulbs, for a start) and choose furniture and accessories that are pared-back and practical, stylish without being showy. Incorporate a palette of neutral colours and natural materials and away you go. Just right. GLUGGAVEDUR It seems it’s not possible to go six months without another Scandi trend taking hold, and the latest is gluggavedur, this time from Iceland.

Make the most of snuggling up in the comfort of your living room or bedroom and looking out on a cold, sunny day by enhancing your window area – beautiful curtains or blinds, perhaps with a pretty tie back or a tactile blind pull; maybe some wooden shutters, a window seat with a comfy cushion and a throw, and even some plants, candles or carefully selected art works nearby.

A Busy November by Pippa Greenwood
It is time for the seasonal slowdown, as your garden and most of the plants and animals in it start to prepare for the colder months ahead. But, of course this doesn’t mean to say that you can start snoozing! There are lots of jobs which, if done now, could end up saving you time and money later on in the season or when the garden comes back to full life next spring, so I thought it’d be a good idea to take a look at the top November gardening tasks that you should try to get to grips with.
Flower beds and borders are likely to have a lot of deteriorating plants in them now. Cut back or pick off 42
Rabbits can be a menace at the best of times, but over the next few months their natural or wild food supplies are likely to dry up. This means they will be on the lookout for some tasty meals from your garden.

That’s what you’ll need to be doing if there is a sizeable tree near your lawn.

Mound dry chipped bark or other mulch over the area in which they are planted.

The History of Chocolate By Catherine Rose
Our favourite confectionary, chocolate dates back four thousand years to Central America where indigenous Indian tribes produced an antecedent very different to todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Although debated, the word chocolate is said to come from the Mayan term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;xocalatlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meaning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bitter waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Retirement: Time To Call In The Builders? by Kate McLelland
When Saga Home Insurance conducted a poll of UK residents who had retired or were just about to retire, it found that many of the people questioned had decided to undertake major household renovation projects, spending ÂŁ17,000 on average to improve their homes. If you are going to spend more time at home, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural to want to make improvements. But before you start browsing the latest trends in glossy interior design magazines and booking a builder, it may help if you stop for a moment to consider the practicalities. HOW LONG DO I WANT TO STAY IN MY PRESENT HOME? If you want to stay on in your home for another twenty years, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisable to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;futureproofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; it by making it as energy HIĂ&#x20AC;FLHQW DQG DFFHVVLEOH DV possible. The changes you make now will avoid the need for disruption when you are older and less able to manage household renovation projects. Eco-friendly improvements such as modern insulation and solar-panel heating can make a big difference to your annual energy bills and increase your 54
propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value in the long run. Other improvements - designed to support you as you age - might include adding larger, double-glazed windows that let in more light, replacing garden steps with a ramp, or putting in grab-bars to help when getting in and out of the bath. HOW MUCH SHOULD I SPEND ON THE RENOVATION? If it seems likely that you will move on in the not-so-distant future, then you should avoid spending money that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to recoup when you sell. For example, there will be little chance of recouping the cost if you put a ÂŁ25,000 bespoke kitchen into a terraced house valued at ÂŁ150,000. According to Ideal Home (idealhome.co.uk), one of the best ways to add value to your home is by building an extension or conservatory. The cost of adding a singlestorey extension can increase the value of your property by 5%, a new en-suite or second bathroom can add a further 5%, while a new kitchen with plenty of storage can add up to 4% to your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value. Estate agents can be a valuable source of advice on
property trends in your area, so call your agent for some local insights. HOW CAN I FINANCE HOME IMPROVEMENTS? From April 2015, UK residents aged 55 or over have been able to access the money in their state pension pots, spending or investing it as they wish, so this might provide a useful source of income for any home improvement projects. Taking up an equity release scheme is another possibility if you are over 55. This arrangement is similar to a mortgage, but your loan and interest are only paid back to the provider when you die or go into long-term care. Recent events, including the Brexit vote and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general election, have led to a more cautious, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wait-and-seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attitude in the property market, so this is a good time to explore ways of creating more value in your current home. If you can resist the urge to spend, spend, spend whilst taking time to research the kind of refurbishment jobs that will really enhance your propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s YDOXH \RX VKRXOG Ă&#x20AC;QG WKDW that your investment will go on SURYLGLQJ EHQHĂ&#x20AC;WV ZHOO LQWR WKH future.

Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Automatic Africa Twin Is A Commuterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream by James Baggot
+RQGD KDV Ă&#x20AC;WWHG DQ DXWRPDWLF '&7 JHDUER[ WR LWV $IULFD 7ZLQ HQGXUDQFH PDFKLQH -DPHV %DJJRWW UHSRUWV RQ OLIH ZLWK WKH FF FRQWLQHQW FURVVHU Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Africa Twin has gained a cult following â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and rightly so. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a do-it-all enduro bike thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only comfortable, but incredibly capable too. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been riding the Ă&#x20AC;UP¡V ODWHVW PRGHO ZLWK WKH revolutionary automatic DCT transmission for a few months now and soon discovered itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a staple commuting tool. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already a fan of enduro-style bikes, the seating position and handling characteristics will be very familiar. The relatively small screen does cause a bit of buffeting, but the sit-up-andbeg style riding position works brilliantly in town. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ridden the 998cc parallel twin cylinder machine to London and back to the South Coast six times now and found that the seat does get a little uncomfortable after an hour or so â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;4â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I am just a little too big for the Honda. However, that said, when the VWRS VWDUW WUDIĂ&#x20AC;F ELWHV WKH $IULFD Twin makes for a brilliant gapĂ&#x20AC;QGLQJ WRRO 7KH OLJKW VWHHULQJ and automatic gearbox in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; setting transforms it into a 56
scooter-like commuter, darting for gaps. The test bike has the optional KDUG OXJJDJH Ă&#x20AC;WWHG ² ERWK WRS box and panniers at a cost of ÂŁ920. Sounds pricey, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re impressively capacious, thought they do make the Africa Twin rather wide. On the road, the Honda handles neutrally. Leaning over hard might make you question the available grip; however, that could be down to the tyres. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also noticed the standard forks on the front dip considerably under braking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to BMWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telelever setup on the GS, this bikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main rival, it takes some getting used to. The engine develops 94bhp and 98Nm of torque which feels perfectly punchy enough. The real talking point is the DCT automatic gearbox though. For those of you unfamiliar with the setup, the Africa Twin in this guise has no gear pedal and the lever for the clutch isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the clutch at all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; instead it operates a handbrake, and is positioned sensibly far enough away that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end up pulling it unintentionally. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon be enjoying the break your left arm and foot get. As a hardened biker I never thought it would be something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d enjoy riding quite as much as I do. There are a few niggles though.
Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found the fuel tank a little on the small side. At just 18.8 litres itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not nearly enough for a bike capable of long distances, and frustratingly wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me the 160 mile round trip to London and back without refuelling. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also found the centre stand a little precarious. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get your motorcycle boot-clad foot between the frame and stand to push it down sturdily enough. That might have something to do with my big feet and correspondingly large boots, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still annoying. Those minor gripes aside, ,¡P Ă&#x20AC;QGLQJ WKH $IULFD 7ZLQ to be a brilliant companion. Its combination of solid build quality and capability in a variety of circumstances makes it the perfect bike to tackle our congested roads in pretty much all weathers. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doubting that automatic transmission â&#x20AC;&#x201C; give it a try, you might just like it as much as me.

Minster School Sixth Form Open evening Wednesday 8th November The Minster School Sixth Form Open evening is taking place on Wednesday 8th November at the Minster School in Southwell, from 79pm, and students and parents are welcome to join us to see what the Sixth Form offers you in the next stage of your education. We welcome applications not only from those who are already a member of the Minster School community but also very much encourage others to consider whether the Minster School might be the best place for post-16 study. Every year a large number of students who have not attended the Main School join us for their post-16 education. The Minster School has a distinguished history, with an ancestry stretching back over a thousand years. Originally founded as the choir school for the choristers of Southwell Minster (a role the school continues to fulfil to this day), the Minster School is a Church of England school, a National Teaching School and is designated as an outstanding provider by OFSTED. Such heritage brings tradition and solid foundations upon which the school continues to build, always focusing on developments to provide students with the best possible education. Our examination outcomes consistently support students to meet and beat their aspirations. In 2017 85% of our Year 13 students went on to study for degrees at university, with 35% going to Russell Group institutions and 7 students taking up places at Oxbridge. However, we encourage you to excel beyond the
curriculum in music, in sports, in community activities, in the Duke of Edinburgh award, in student leadership, ensuring you are prepared to succeed in life as fully as possible. As a Minster School Sixth Former, your experience is so much more than A Levels alone and our enrichment programme
enables you to develop in leadership roles and participate in clubs, overseas visits and listen to visiting speakers. Our great results reflect our motivated students and highly skilled teachers in each of our wide range of subjects. Teachers enjoy working with you and sharing their expertise and consider exactly what you need in order to do well in your exams. As a large Sixth Form we are able to offer over 30 level 3 courses and can enable you to study almost any combination of subjects. As you would expect from a great Sixth Form, we have high expectations and our skilled tutor team will help you meet these; both looking after your needs, and helping you to overcome challenges to achieve your ambitions. We run a comprehensive UCAS and apprenticeship application programme beginning in Year 12, and our team of specialist tutors have expertise in assisting you to gain places on the courses and pathways you are interested in, including specialist applications such as medicine and law. The Open Evening on 8th November is a chance for you to visit our outstanding facilities, including dedicated Sixth Form spaces such as the study rooms and Post-16 dining area. You will also get the chance to find out more about the courses in subjects you are interested in and meet the teachers you will work with for the next two years, as well as many of our current students.
If you would like to find out more about the Minster School Sixth Form or would like to request a prospectus please contact Miss Toms, the Sixth Form Administrator, on 01636 817333, or r.toms@minster.notts.sch.uk
