Welcome to the Summer edition of the Westbourne Magazine. This is a difficult introduction to write; as the wind and rain batter the window and we’re here with the heating on! Hopefully by the time this edition comes out the summer will have started properly. In this edition we’ve got local news and events and a new member of staff to introduce. There’s a lovely summer jogging route, a rebrand of a well known Westbourne company, Olympics reads from The Westbourne Bookshop and a summery themed word search.

Grand Cinema Building One of Westbourne’s most iconic buildings is undergoing a facelift. The Grade II listed Grand Cinema building, built in 1922, is currently hidden behind scaffolding while essential work is carried out the exterior. The cinema opened as one of the first “super cinemas” in the UK and much of the original interior detail, including an elaborately ornamented proscenium, and exterior facade, remains intack. It was converted into a bingo hall in 1977. In addition to the bingo, there are a number of shops below the main canopy on Poole Road that are open for business as usual during the works.
Jubliee Party Raises Funds for Youth Cancer Trust Canford Chase on Western Road held a wonderful Diamond Jubilee Garden Party and they even got lucky with the weather. The well supported event included performances by a brass band, cream teas for everyone and a beautiful balloon release that brought tears to many an eye. The event was open to the community and it was a memorable occasion for all involved. A raffle raised a right royal £110 in aid of Youth Cancer Trust. Find out more about this Bournemouth based charity on their website at: www.youthcancertrust.org

Local Jogging Route
the local scenery and get fit this summer
Westbourne is the ideal location to start your local tour, be it jogging or at a more relaxed walking pace. If the beach gets too busy this summer, check out our local alternative route for your run below. Remember your run should start with a warm-up and end with a cool down. A good warm-up dilates your blood vessels, ensuring that your muscles are well supplied with oxygen. By slowly raising your heart rate, the warm-up also helps stress on your heart. After your run, a cool down keeps the blood flowing throughout the body. Stopping suddenly can cause light-headedness as your heart rate and blood pressure drop rapidly. Winding down slowly allows them to fall gradually. Coy Pond Central Gardens

COLLAGEN - the most abundant protein found in the body. Loss of COLLAGEN starts in our 20's and by the time we reach 45 we have lost around 30%. This causes dry skin, lines and wrinkles and can lead to joint pain. Boosting your collagen levels moisturises skin, can strengthen nails and hair and help with joint and tendon injuries. Proto-Col Collagen is available at Workout of Westbourne. ÂŁ20 for 1 month supply.

Save the Butterfiles Ellison
Are you sick of rainy days? Is it dampening your spirits and killing the social calendar? Is it threatening your species? If the answer to the last question is yes, then you are one of the butterflies that feature in this article, if not then you're like me - just another malcontent, fed up with British weather. Butterflies are one of the few decorative insects you can attract, and their variety of colours is astonishing, thus making them a welcome addition to any garden, but, due to last year’s wet summer, and the continuing trend this year, Britain has seen a severe decline in several species of butterfly. As most of us know, water and wings don't mix, particularly where insects are concerned. A heavy rainstorm is comparable to a blitzkrieg from a butterfly’s perspective and all this rotten weather has meant they've been less actively pollinating and breeding. The primary means of enticing butterflies into the garden depends on your planting, because nectar is primarily what will invite them. To ensure the most hospitable environment, you'll want a variety of plants that will provide nectar year round, so it is advised you have a balance of spring bloomers such as daisies, dandelions, pansies and primroses and to compensate their loss in late summer and autumn, a healthy dose of marigolds, knapweed and lavender. Shrubs that butterflies love include Buddleia, Hebes and Lilac and certain herbs also attract the insect, due to their scent. These include oregano, thyme and mint. It is important to remember that your butterfly population will be relative to your gardening variety i.e. the greater the number and mix and plants, the greater the potential for their propagation.

Local Business Gets Makeover Walkers Solicitors?
We met up with Kerry Slade from Walkers Solicitors to find out the company rebrand and her new role. Kerry explained, “Our firm now trades as Walkers Solicitors, we were previously Grenville J Walker & Co. Our Westbourne office is undergoing revamp to include new signage along with the new trading name.” “Our firm achieved Lexcel accreditation in April this year and is the only and smallest firm in Westbourne to achieve this. This accreditation means that we are have had to achieve a high standard of practice management and we are subject to annual checks ensuring a high quality service.” Kerry continued, “With our three branches in Westbourne, Blandford and Weymouth we can offer legal services to the whole of Dorset.” Rebecca Youings, Family Law Supervisor, said about the new brand and company name, “The new changes have given an injection of confidence and positivity for the future of the business.” Kerry, who started her new role this year, provides conveyancing services at Walkers. In addition the company provide Wills & Probate, Family Law and Divorce, Criminal Law and Commercial Services. Kerry detailed what working in Westbourne means to her, "I have been excited about working for a smaller, local, firm where I could see that the work I undertake directly contributes to excellent customer service for the clients. I have already seen evidence of this and could not have asked for a bigger welcome or a friendly team to work within. Although I live in Westbourne I have not had the opportunity to spend an awful lot of time in the vicinity as I had been commuting to outside the local area. I am very much looking to working closely with the local businesses in the community".
