The St Albans Good Neighbour Scheme (SAGNS) has been solving this problem for over 35 years. Many of our neighbours live on their own and have nobody to call upon if they need extra help. SAGNS provide a phone line they can ring and they can then link those who need help with those who are happy to give it.

Volunteers are needed for: Duty Officers to answer the SAGNS phone from their own homes Practical People who can do little tasks such as fix curtain rails or shopping Drivers who can take people to hospital appointments Befrienders who can visit somebody on a regular basis It’s flexible, some volunteers help out a few times a year and others a few times a week.

It’s very enjoyable. Expenses are reimbursed.

Write or update your Will and support Rennie Grove Hospice Care Throughout February, a selected group of local legal experts from across the Chilterns are donating their time and legal expertise to write a standard Will in return for a donation to Rennie Grove Hospice Care.

Rennie Grove Hospice Care is a charity providing care and support for adults and children diagnosed with cancer and other life-limiting illness and their families. Every year through their 24/7 Hospice at Home service, their Family Support services and the range of Day Services at Grove House, St Albans they give thousands of patients the choice to stay at home, surrounded by their families and friends.

Making a Will makes things that little bit easier for those you leave behind; if you die without a Will, your estate will be shared out according to the law instead of your wishes and there is no guarantee that your loved ones will receive what you intended.

16

Rennie Grove is holding a free legal advice clinic about Wills and estate planning in collaboration with Sherrards Solicitors on Monday 15th January, from 1pm - 4pm at Grove House in St Albans.

To find out more about this session and for a full list of participating solicitors visit www.renniegrove.org/makeyourwill or contact Michele Poli on 01442 507344 or email legacy@renniegrove.org It will be a great opportunity to start 2018 by getting your affairs in order while helping local families with your donation.

Big Garden Birdwatch

18

27th - 29th Jan The world’s largest garden wildlife survey, now in its 39th year will see half a million people watching and counting their garden birds.

Just spend one hour watching and recording the birds in your garden or local park. Only birds that land should be counted, not those flying over.

The highest number of each bird species seen at any one time then needs to be sent to the RSPB. In 2017 more than 8 million birds were counted, the house sparrow remained top of the rankings, with the starling and blackbird in 2nd and 3rd place.

Daniel Hayhow, RSPB Conservation Scientist said: “The birds we see in our garden are often the first experience we have with nature...but some of our most-loved species are in desperate need of our help as their numbers have dropped dramatically. By counting the birds that visit your outdoor space, you’ll be joining a team of over half-a- million people across the UK who are making a difference for nature.”

Robins, with their average numbers at its highest since 1986, have climbed to number seven.

Daniel added: “With over half a million people now regularly taking part, coupled with nearly 40 years worth of data, Big Garden Birdwatch allows us to monitor trends and helps us understand how birds are doing. With results from so many gardens, we are able to create a snapshot; of the birds visiting at this time of year across the UK.” The RSPB also asks you to log other wildlife you have seen throughout the year such as badgers, foxes, grey squirrels, red squirrels, muntjac deer, roe deer, frogs and toads.

My Oven Looks Like New! I’ve just had my oven cleaned professionally by Ovenmaster for the first time, I’ve tried over the years myself and failed, but never thought it was something I would ask someone else to do. I can honestly say it now looks like it did when it came out the box. And I’m sure it works more efficiently, and definitely smells better!

I used to be embarrassed if we had people over for dinner, and made sure they weren't in the kitchen when I opened the oven, but now I show it off!

Alison did most of the cleaning in her van, and there was no mess in the house at all, it took about 1.5 hours and was such good value at just £52 for a double oven, I can’t sing her praises highly enough.

So, if like me, you thought you could do the job just as well yourself with supermarket products, I can tell you, and I’ve tried, you won’t come close to what Ovenmaster can do.

Thank you Alison, I will definitely be calling you again!

The Barn Theatre

84 Charing Cross Road 19th - 27th Jan The true story of two strangers with a shared love of literature, a writer in New York and an antiquarian bookshop supplier in London. Unfolding over 20 years, the story begins just after WWII when struggling writer Helene Hanff contacts Marks & Co bookstore. Frank Doel is the delightfully dusty supplier who seeks to fulfil Helene’s voracious literary appetite. Despite their transatlantic separation – and Hanff’s sarcastic wit – the couple develop an unlikely relationship and bond through their letters and a shared love of literature. £13 The Barn Theatre, WGC AL8 6ST www.barntheatre.co.uk

The Hat Factory Hanna 27th Jan 7.30pm £10 / £8 Being a young mum is supposed to be hard – but for Hanna, the only thing she’s ever been brilliant at is raising her beloved daughter Ellie. Until a DNA test reveals staggering news. Ellie is not Hanna’s child, and now her ‘real’ parents want to meet her.

This funny, heartfelt world premiere from playwright Sam Potter asks what family means in a modern society, delicately weaving in questions of racial identity, economic privilege and the lottery of birth.

Exhibitions at Bletchley Park The Road to Bletchley Park until 1st Feb 9.30am Celebrating the pioneering achievements of those who waged a secret war, and how they paved the way for the Codebreakers of WWII. The story of signals intelligence in WW1 is an untold but crucial one, because a large number of those involved went on to work with the newly formed Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) in 1919, (which relocated to Bletchley Park in 1939). Sarah Ralph, Bletchley Park’s WW1 Exhibition Research Coordinator, says “Their efforts from 1914 to 1918 allowed the Codebreakers to hit the ground running at the outbreak of WWII.” The first phase of this fascinating exhibition, introduces the two separate codebreaking organisations working in WW1: MI1 (b), set up by the War Office, and Room 40, established by the Navy. They were each fighting a secret war, behind the scenes in London. Their work, each with their own hierarchies and objectives, was dependent on what was then new technology. One key exhibit is a replica of a Marconi crystal receiver listening set. Sarah adds “Both Allies and Central Powers used cable and wireless telegraphy to intercept messages and deduce enemy tactics and positions. Each side tried to break the other’s codes and gain valuable intelligence.”

The exhibition also delves into some of the key characters involved in codebreaking during both wars.

WRNS100 - The Wrens of Bletchley Park until 30th May 9.30am - 4pm Revealing the contribution of the Women’s Royal Naval Service to the signals intelligence work at Bletchley Park during WWII. By the end of the war over 2,500 Wrens were, designated ‘Special Duties X’. They operated codebreaking machines

32

such as the Colossus and Bombe machines, performed mathematical cryptanalysis, translated Japanese and German materials, and provided valuable administrative support.

High Spirits in Low Times until 1st Jan 2019 9.30am - 5pm Shift work often impacted staff’s health at Bletchley Park during WWII. So a welfare programme was set up, including sporting events, plays, cinema trips and US dances. Find out what activities the Codebreakers and their colleagues enjoyed on and off site.

Bill Tutte: Mathematician & Codebreaker until 15th May 2019 9.30am - 5pm Celebrating the centenary of Tutte’s birth, a Cambridge graduate, who unravelled the working of the Lorenz machine, a more complex system than Enigma used by the German high command.

Allowing Bletchley Park to decode some of the most top-secret messages sent during the war and paved the way for the creation of Colossus, the world’s first semi-programmable electronic computer. After the war, Tutte’s work in graph theory led to some of the key mathematical developments that have shaped the internet, such as the science behind search engines.

Secrecy and Security - Keeping Safe Online until 1st Feb 2020 9.30am Sponsored by Intel Security, this exhibition has interactive and audio experiences. Drawing a direct link with the data processing that happened in Block C during WWII and the ever-evolving cyber threat, the display will teach you how to safely navigate cyberspace.

All exhibitions free with admission Bletchley Park, Milton Keynes MK3 6EB www.bletchleypark.org.uk

British Wildlife Photography Awards 20th Jan - 25th March The awards celebrate both the work of amateur and professional photographers and the beauty and diversity of British wildlife.

The overall winning image, ‘Heathrow Roostings’ (pictured below) of a Pied Wagtail at Heathrow airport, is by Daniel Trim. Here, a single individual out of hundreds is silhouetted by the lights of Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport.

"I waited for a cold night when their numbers swell.

After about 30 minutes I hadn't seen a single wagtail, however, it wasn't long until hundreds were dropping in to the trees next to the terminal building, all calling away. It's an impressive sight to see and once the initial excitement was over I spent time looking for birds I could isolate against interesting background lighting. The birds soon tuck their heads under their wing to sleep which doesn't make the silhouette as pleasing, you have to get lucky with one waking up briefly to have a look around." Daniel Trim.
