Prepare for Easter

Celebrating the launch of the new Give&Take Care scheme are, from left, Dr Gabriella Spinelli of Wargrave, Government Under Secretary for Civil Society and Reading East MP Rob Wilson, Prof Heinz Wolff, Wokingham borough Mayor Bob Pitts and Gordon Storey of Twyford Together Pictures: Allan Marques

By SUE CORCORAN news@wokinghampaper.co.uk A NEW scheme to tackle elderly people’s loneliness could help save the NHS and social services, claims its inventor, famous professor Heinz Wolff. Star of 1980’s TV show The Great Egg Race, Professor Wolff, 88 (pictured inset), waved his walking stick with passion, as he spoke at Give&TakeCare’s (G&TC)national launch in Wokingham borough, held last Friday. If the scheme succeeded books would say: “This place was the beginning of step change where society changes for the better.” He felt that G&TC could have major effects on the NHS and social services. The charity, starting as a befriending service, aims to solve the elderly care crisis. It says the care system is “chronically underfunded”. Care will be provided by volunteers, who will receive payback time when they are in need, rather than by paid staff. The charity is in talks with local councils about how it could

work as an alternative care system providing personal care. It says potential Government funding has been promised. Professor Wolff urged the 75 community, charity, local authority, university and political representatives at The Piggott School, Wargrave to back G&TC –he believes it can spread UK-wide. Cheering on the larger than life professor, was much-loved Twyford hero 91-year-old Dennis Shepherd. He appears with George Watts, 81, in a video promoting G&TC. Mr Shepherd has another claim to fame – he danced with the Prime Minister, Theresa May, at a pensioners’ lunch last year. Dennis helps set up lunches every day at Twyford Age Concern’s day centre in Polehampton Close. Give&TakeCare locality manager Sharon McConnell of Woodley, is piloting the scheme with Age Concern. G&TC encourages more people to support the elderly. Hours of voluntary befriending will be recorded. Later the care giver can use the “banked” support for themselves when they need it, maybe years later.

Care receivers will pay a £1 an hour admin fee. Professor Wolff said: “We have this astonishing challenge of people living much longer, a sudden multiplication of people needing care which is totally outside of government’s ability to meet.” Wokingham borough mayor, Councillor Bob Pitts, said he was proud the scheme was being launched in Wokingham borough and that health and social services could not cope by themselves. Two vital links meant Twyford is piloting the scheme. Gordon Storey, of village organisation Twyford Together, established links with Professor Wolff via an old friend. And Dr Gabriella Spinelli, of Wargrave, works at Brunel University with Professor Wolff. “The only reason this scheme can fail is if we as a society stop caring,” she said.

“We see this [scheme] as the only solution to the increasing numbers of elderly people,” she said. “Many housebound elderly older people are lonely, which leads to malnutrition and depression.” She added: “Human contact can also help stave off dementia, so by preventing these, this could save the NHS and social services vast amounts.” Government Under Secretary for Civil Society – and Reading East MP, which includes Woodley and Earley – Rob Wilson said: “I’m very encouraged to see Age Concern and Give&TakeCare as good examples of social action working alongside public service.” Brunel University’s Deputy Vice Chancellor Professor Geoff Rodgers said care homes were closing and funds were under pressure. n For more on the scheme, log on to www.giveandtakecare.co.uk

Hunt on for dangerous drivers who failed to stop for police AN APPEAL has been launched to trace the drivers of two cars who failed to stop for police just after school run last week. Police also want dash cam footage from any motorists who saw the dangerous driving. The incident occurred on Wednesday, February 8, between 3.50pm and 4pm on Nine Mile Ride in

Finchampstead. Thames Valley Police said that two silver Volkswagen Polos drove away from a police car, driving down the wrong side of Nine Mile Ride in the process. The vehicles then drove the wrong way around two roundabouts, first onto Finchampstead Road and then on to Barkham Ride.

The occupants then fled from the vehicles and ran down an alleyway on to Arnett Avenue. Police said that there were two men in the vehicles. One was white and was wearing dark coloured trousers and a hooded top. PC Paul Bentley based at Crowthorne police station said: “This incident

happened at a very busy time of day and other drivers in the area had to take evasive action to avoid a collision with these vehicles. “I would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed this incident and would particularly urge anyone with dash camera footage to get in touch. “Anyone with

information can contact me via the Thames Valley Police enquiry centre on 101. “Alternatively, information can be given to the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. No personal details are taken, information is not traced or recorded and you will not go to court.”

A CHURCH is planning its annual Lent course in the run-up to Easter. St Michael’s and All Angels in Spencers Wood will hold two sessions on Mondays from February 27 until April 3. Sessions will encourage discussion on issues relating to the Easter story. The afternoon session starts at 2.15pm while the evening session is 7.45pm. It will take place at the Basingstoke Road church. For more details, call the Revd Paul Willis on 0118 988 3799.

Fears over changes to short breaks for disabled children EXCLUSIVE

By GEMMA DAVIDSON gdavidson@wokinghampaper.co.uk CONCERNS over changes to the way short breaks for families with disabled children are funded will be addressed by the council next month. Following a review of the short breaks provision carried out during 2016, Wokingham Borough Council officers are recommending a new commissioning infrastructure which will aim to increase choice for families who use the service, while reducing any financial inefficiencies with regards to the commissioning of short breaks providers. The council currently supports around 200 disabled children within the borough at any given time through the Bridges Resource Centre, the council’s internal short breaks and early intervention resource, and the Disabled Children’s Team. Bridge’s offers overnight respite care as well as other forms of short break and family support services to families with disabled children, which include opportunities for children and young people with additional needs to participate in mainstream activities, as well as with bespoke facilities. The 2016 review identified what services were being purchased and how the commissions were arranged. Officers also spoke to disabled children, their carers and families about which services they use and would like to have access to, so that they could understand which services they found important, and identify any gaps in

the services provided. The review assessed the range of block contracts held between the council and short breaks providers, which total more than £244,000, but found that they were not being fully utilised, leading to a duplication in provision. As a result, a report put forward by council officers recommends a move away from the block method of commissioning providers, and rather allow families to choose which services they use, from a list of council-approved preferred provider list, using payments made directly to them. A further consultation on the report’s findings is scheduled to take place in March. Speaking at a meeting of the council’s Executive on Thursday, January 26, Cllr Charlotte Haitham Taylor, Executive Member for Children's Services, said: “The Council will be open to the views of parents on their preferences for how they access the short break services that are available and there is no pressure upon parents to move to direct payments. “I believe that many people will prefer to take a direct payment as they will see the benefits of more choice and more control. “Any arrangements adopted by the Council will enable both the Council and service users to purchase services from providers; in the event that people would prefer not to take a direct payment. “No-one will be forced to adopt direct payments and the council can continue to spot purchase for parents if they wish.” An official date for the consultation is yet to be announced by the council.

Man denies ill-treating care home patients A FORMER care home employee from Wokingham has appeared in court charged with the ill-treatment of three people in his charge. James Tutcher, 27, of Albert Road, appeared at Reading Crown Court on Tuesday where he denied three charges of ill-treatment of a person without capacity. Mr Tutcher was working at The Mount Nursing Home in School Hill, Wargrave, at the time the alleged incidents took place. Mr Tutcher pleaded not guilty to the three charges. He was released on conditional bail to appear at the same court in May for the trial.

My love is like a red, red rose… LOVE was certainly in the air at one Wokingham care home this week. Residents at Alexandra Grange Care Home, in Oaklands Drive, were treated to wooden roses by staff on Valentine’s Day to show them how much they care about them. The residents were also treated to lunch at The Wee Waif in Charvil. Lifestyle’s leader at Alexandra Grange, Adriana FernandesBowyer said: “We had great fun presenting our residents with roses. It was nice to remind them that even though they have a loving family that we are their family too and are there for them.” “We think our residents really appreciated the gesture and the roses will make a nice keepsake and reminder of the activity.”

Avnish Goyal, managing director of Hallmark Care Homes, which owns Alexandra Grange and initiated the idea said: “The aim of this activity is to make our residents feel special this Valentine’s Day, and let them know we are there for them as we care for them, and value our

Uni sees applications rise to record high APPLICATIONS to study at the University of Reading are at an all-time high, according to figures published earlier this month. Following the January 15 deadline for full-time undergraduate applications through UCAS, figures revealed the university received 20,185 applications, the third highest ever received, representing five applications per place across the 250 courses available. Despite a 1% decline in the UK 18-year-old population, rising tuition fees and the impact of the EU referendum result, the university has enjoyed record application numbers for the third year in a row. Sir David Bell, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Reading said: “The latest UCAS figures show that Reading has once again maintained its high number of undergraduate applications. "We saw a dramatic increase in 2015, but we were never going to maintain that sort of increase year-on-year, especially given the falling numbers of UK

18-year-olds and fewer applications from older students. “Overall, we have seen a steady upward trend in the last five years, despite the introduction of higher tuition fees. Furthermore, we have seen a sharp rise over the last three years, where we are way ahead of the national figures. “There is no denying it is a tough market for all UK universities at the moment. Universities are expanding so competition is fierce. Students have more choice than ever before and they are shopping around for the best deal. “It is encouraging to see that a rising proportion of high quality students applying to Reading are putting us as their firm first choice. Reading is no longer seen as the insurance option. Students want great teaching, world-class research, an award-winning campus and a high employability record all things they can find here. This doesn’t mean we can rest on our laurels though. We must continue to be innovative in our efforts to attract the brightest and best students.”

relationship with them. “Many of our residents haven’t received a rose in years, while others have never received a rose in their lifetime. We hope giving them a rose this Valentine’s weekend will bring a smile to their face and show them how much we care.”

Teenager picked for art contest final

A STUDENT from an Earley school has proved she has an eye for art after being selected for a national competition. Ria Mistry, who is in Year 10 at Maiden Erlegh School, in Silverdale Road, has reached the ﬁnal in a specialist art and crafts competition with her lively mixed media piece entitled Pinecone, pictured above. The talented youngster has won the chance to take part in an artist’s workshop day with Jenny Muncaster, a leading specialist in the ﬁeld of mixed media art materials. She has also received a collection of artistic materials to allow her to continue creating her work. Head of Art at the school, Katy Wragg said: “Ria is such a lovely girl and is very pleased to be invited to take part in the workshops with the artist.”

Schools funding campaigner asked to speak in Parliament By GEMMA DAVIDSON gdavidson@wokinghampaper.co.uk A WOKINGHAM mother’s campaign to secure fairer funding for local schools is taking her plea to Parliament next week. Annabel Yoxall (pictured) has been invited by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Education, Governance and Leadership (APPGEGL) to speak about school funding on Thursday, February 23. The minutes of the meeting will be submitted by the APPGEGL to the Minister of State for Education where

they are expected to form part of the evidence in the consultation of schools funding. Annabel said she will raise the issue of Wokingham schools asking parents for donations to fund core school activities. She said: “I understand why schools do this, but it is a disgrace that the funding crisis has reached this stage. “We do not want a one-off funding fix. Headteachers need to be able to plan and to have confidence they can recruit and retain staff. “At the moment, headteachers are trying to work out how many staff

they will have to lose. “Headteachers will be cutting teaching assistants and teaching staff to balance the books. There is a real worry that some heads will resign rather than cut staff, or move their school to a four day week. “There is simply no slack left in the system.” Annabel, who is a cofounder member of the national Fair Funding for All Schools Campaign, had appealed to her local MP, John Redwood for support, but

was told he is too busy to attend. She said: “We have spoken to local councillors and our local MP. We will speak to anyone who will listen. We will keep on speaking – and shouting – until our schools get the funding our children need. “We have overwhelming support in the community and we will be heard. “John Redwood has been asked along to the meeting but he is busy.

The campaign has organised a day of action in Wokingham on February 25 to coincide with other parent protests around the country. A petition urging Wokingham Borough Council to do ‘everything in its power’ to persuade the government to improve the level of funding for schools in the borough has been signed by nearly 700 people. The deadline for signatures is March 1. For more information on the campaign and to sign the petition search Facebook for Wokingham Borough Schools Fair Funding Campaign.

Parents angry over ‘secret’ plan to change school route n Continued from front page Under the new plans, instead of extending a route along Nine Mile Ride, the council is now planning to send pupils down Byway 18 – an isolated, narrow country lane alongside Hogwood Industrial Estate that is surrounded by ditches and vegetation. This week, we have been contacted by parents who are adamant that the route is not safe for their children to use and that they feel betrayed by the council over the U-turn. Originally, WBC had planned to create the cycle route along Nine Mile Ride and, at the Executive meeting of January 26, confirmed that the plans for road improvements would be completed by September this year. Now it is proposing that the safe route will connect the FBC Centre to Arborfield via California Country Park. Cllr Malcolm Richards, WBC’s executive member for highways and transport said: “This enhanced footway will give Finchampstead pupils a safe route to walk to the new Bohunt School and will give the local community a better footway to walk around Finchampstead.” However, the news about the change of plan was leaked this week by Cllr Ian Pittock (pictured), who represents Finchampstead South. He said he was furious with the council leadership for making this decision, calling on them to “reverse that decision immediately”. “They didn’t even think to discuss it with local members who are closer to local residents and can see both sides of the argument. They didn’t even phone me to discuss it with us - they left it to an official to tell us. “The decision was made by [leader of the council] Keith Baker and Malcolm Richards behind closed doors.” Cllr Pittock said that it was “absolutely essential that there was a safe route along Nine Mile Ride”, adding that he was concerned by the decisions made by WBC. “I feel stabbed in the back and let down by the leadership. This is just plain wrong,” he said.

Parents have also been in touch to raise their concerns at the council’s change of heart. Lloyd Watkins, a member of the Bohunt Parent Forum who challenged the executive at the January 26 meeting, said: “It’s a rotten decision. “The [announcement] has not subdued my concern, it lacks detail on speed limits and traffic calming and lacks detail on road crossings. We need the answers to those matters before parents will accept that the Council has delivered the minimum standard for a safe route.” Jane Wu, who has a daughter at the Bohunt School, said: “It’s really disappointing. The buses are terribly unreliable. “We were led to believe the cycle path would be in place, we absolutely wanted her to cycle to school. “The greenway is not a safe route, it’s very isolated area with lots of undergrowth. It’s not safe for my daughter.” And Dave Bedford added: “Apparently, an hour's walk to school is considered acceptable, or children travelling in a succession of cars is deemed an acceptable situation for a town which already has congestion issues before all the additional houses are completed. “This is a huge concern. The school is intended to release the pressure on Finchampstead and be a main feeder school but will well be rejected by people

simply because of the decision made by WBC in secret without consulting anyone.” Criticism for the council has also come from opposition parties. Cllr Lindsay Ferris, the leader of Wokingham’s Liberal Democrats: “This is yet another decision taken in secret without consultation with local residents. It also breaks a promise made by senior Conservative Councillors that the cycle path along Nine Mile ride would be provided for the commencement of the Autumn Term in September 2017. Can they be trusted any more? “There will now be no dedicated cycle route to the school, instead youngsters will be left to the dangers of a busy road for a significant part of their ride to school. This is totally unacceptable and all measures possible should be made to provide this cycle path and pressure put on the individuals to change their decision. “I shall investigate whether this is one of those decisions where we may be able to ‘Call In’ this despicable act.” And independent councillor for Arborfield, Cllr Gary Cowan, promised to work with Cllr Pittock in challenging the decision. He said: “Sadly nothing surprises me. First no reduction in speed limits on the safe routes to the school but now reneging on conditions to provide a safe walking/cycling route along a rural road that will just get busier as the Garrison is built denies pupils their ability to enjoy a healthy environment and actually puts children’s lives at risk if they do walk or cycle to school is one step too far. “I am happy to work with Cllr Ian Pittock and Lloyd Watkins to have this decision overturned. Shame on you Wokingham Borough Council.” We asked the council to respond to the allegations that the decisions were made in secret by Cllr Baker and Cllr Richards, but they had not done so as we went to press. n WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE – ‘I was right,” says former Lib Dem candiate Jim May.

The junction of Churchill Drive from King Street Lane where a man was attacked on Monday night. Police are appealing for witnesses

Man’s face slashed in Winnersh A MAN had his face slashed during an attack in Winnersh on Monday night. Thames Valley Police said that a 27-year-old was assault by a group of men in the incident which took place at the junction of Churchill Drive with King Street Lane. They are treating the attack as one of GBH and said that the man was possibly slashed across the face with a knife. Comments on social media suggest that two men carried out the attack but this has not been confirmed by the police.

Two attacks in town on Monday POLICE are appealing for information following two attacks in Wokingham on Monday (13). During the first incident between 6.05pm and 6.20pm, two victims were approached by two men at the junction of Headington Road and Crutchley Road. An altercation occurred but the victims were not injured. One of the offenders was described as being white, short and tubby, aged around 16, and wearing a blue Nike hoody with large lettering across the chest, black trousers or jeans and possibly gloves. The second man was wearing a ‘NICEE’ black reflective jacket with

The victim was treated at hospital. The road was closed from around 9pm to just after midnight to allow police to investigate the scene. A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “We are investigating the incident and would ask anyone with any information to call us on 101. “If you do not want to speak directly to the police you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

One of the offenders was described as wearing a full black on white Nike tracksuit, while another was wearing ‘True Religion’ dark navy jeans, white All Star or Nike Air Force trainers and an unbranded black hoody. The other men were wearing hoods and balaclavas. Anyone with any information relating to either of the incidents should call PC Alex Moorse 2288 via the Thames Valley Police enquiry centre on 101.

Blue bags are on their way RESIDENTS in Wokingham started to receive their household waste blue bags for 2017/2018 this week. More than five million bags are being delivered by Wokingham Borough Council (WBC). It is expected to take five weeks to deliver 80 bags, in two rolls of 40, to every household in the borough. All bags should be delivered by the end of March to cover households from April, 2017 to March, 2018. Cllr Angus Ross, executive member for environment, said: “As you can imagine, delivering

more than five million blue bags to some 65,000 properties across the Wokingham Borough is a mammoth task and will take our waste contractor Veolia almost a month to complete. “Although this is the allocation up until the end of March 2018, and equates to one and a half bags a week, we ask residents to try and reduce their household waste where possible and recycle as much as they can by using the kerbside recycling scheme, household recycling centres and recycling banks available across the borough.”

After 53 years, pre-school plans to close in May Above: Lucy Hollis with Eva (left) and Georgie, who will be affected bythe planned closure of the Charvil PreSchool in May. Picture: Sue Corcoran

By SUE CORCORAN news@wokinghampaper.co.uk A PRE-SCHOOL given notice to quit its meeting hall by a church is being forced to close. Saddened parents struggled this week to bring themselves to vote for the closure. The pre-school has given hundreds of small children their first taste of education over the past 53 years. After May 26, unless there are quick and unexpected moves, there will be no pre-school or nursery for children under four in their community. Five staff will lose their jobs. Charvil Pre-School’s venue, Jubilee Hall, is owned by the parochial church council of St Andrew’s Church, Sonning, where Prime Minister Theresa May worships. Six hirers, including the pre-school, were told in November they must leave by December this year. Pre-school parents managed, after several requests by the pre-school chair, to finally take a vote on closure at the extraordinary general meeting on Tuesday. The reluctant vote to end the pre-school was unanimous. Present and past parents were encouraged to write to Mrs May, the Church of England’s Bishop of Oxford, Wokingham Borough Council and others, seeking help for pre-school or nursery education to continue in Charvil. Pre-School chair Johannes Burger said that since the notice to quit there had been a drop off in parents signing up for children to start, making the group not viable. As a charity it could not run in deficit and it currently had 11 children, aged two-and-a-half to four years old, on its books. The committee had spent two months searching for another venue, but the Village Hall and The Pavilion in Charvil were both heavily booked. Not only that, but it would cost £15,000 to make the Pavilion suitable with an outdoor play area – money that the pre-school did not have. Mr Burger said the committee, staff and parents had worked hard to get the pre-school from an Ofsted ‘Requires improvement’ rating to a ‘Good’ one. Treasurer Mark Donlan said the pre-school could pay the five staff redundancy and holiday pay. He said there was rent owing, but the church had offered a rent-free holiday. “Details are still being confirmed between us,” he said. He said three other local early years groups had closed recently and he predicted a shortage of places. “Children are not even being placed on waiting lists in some provisions now,” he said.

Mother Lucy Hollis, of The Hawthorns, Charvil, was devastated by the May closure. She said it was hard to find somewhere else for her daughter Georgie, two-and-a-half, which offered what the Charvil group would have done. Her other daughter Eva, four-and-a-half, had gone to the “very nurturing” pre-school. Charvil Parish Council chair Chris Drew said: “This is a very sad situation. My boys went through the pre-school, it was at the very core of the community. “Charvil Parish Council is keen to see a preschool provision within the community and will help any new providers.” There is a chance for the future. Lucy Humphreys of Lower Earley, a qualified early years teacher, said: “I am desperate to have a child care centre in Charvil.” She was looking into finance and planning for a log cabin or similar for an eco-friendly, green nursery. St Andrew’s church PCC chair, the Revd Jamie Taylor was away and not available for comment this week. Earlier he said projected losses for Jubilee Hall over three to five years from autumn 2016 were £8,000-10,000 a year. “That would undermine the work of the work of our church,” he said. Mr Taylor said then that no decision has been made about the hall’s future. “We want to be very transparent. Hirers have had a year’s notice. We are going to find a new future for that site. I don’t know what it will be.” The church council had said it would consider what financial assistance it could give to smooth the way at any new facility the pre-school were able to move to. Wokingham Borough Council has offered to help the pre-school find a solution. Cllr Charlotte Haitham Taylor, executive member for Wokingham Borough children’s services said: “The pre-school told us on 30 January they had been served notice to leave the privately-run hall, and we replied the following day offering to help them find a solution. We’re still doing this. “If the pre-school is forced to close, despite ours and their best efforts to find a new home, parents will be helped to find alternative childcare through our family information service. This service can be contacted on (0118) 908 8466 or visit http://www.wokingham.gov.uk/children-andfamilies/childcare/find-a-nursery-or-pre-school/ “ She added: “Our early years team can support any provider wishing to open a new early years setting.”

Every dog has their day at the library HALF term kicked off with a woof at Wokingham Library this week, as a pack of Guide Dog puppies popped in for a visit. Hundreds of excited children and their parents packed into the Denmark Street library on Monday morning to meet the pups, some as young as six-months-old, and to learn more about the charity that trains them. Twins Adam and Joshua Lloyd, six, from Earley had a great time learning a few words in Braille with their mum Ella, and couldn’t wait to

have a cuddle with labrador/golden retriever cross puppy Winnie. Community fundraiser for Guide Dogs, Denise Clark said the morning went really well, and she was delighted to see so many eager youngsters in the library. She said: “We have worked with the library before but it’s always so nice to see the children getting so excited. “The children have had great fun meeting the dogs, learning a bit of Braille, and trying on distorted vision glasses which gives them a

sense of what life could be like for someone who needs a guide dog. “We have done a bit of fundraising as well, but the main thing is raising awareness of Guide Dogs.” Guide dog user Margaret Reeves, who lives in Lower Earley, brought her dog Bree along to the event. She said: “Bree has been with me for five years, she really has changed my life for the better. Before her, I would go out with a white cane, but she has really boosted my confidence no end.”

MP makes visit to refurbished pub

PROPERTY PROPERTY INSIGHT INSIGHT

Wokingham house values will remain resilient for several reasons. Firstly, demand for rental property remains strong with con埅nued immigra埅on and popula埅on growth. Secondly, with 0.25% interest rates, borrowing has never been so cheap and ﬁnally the simple lack of new house building in Wokingham not keeping up with current demand, let alone ea埅ng into years and years of under investment – means only one thing – yes, it might be a bumpy ride over the next 12 to 24 months but, in the medium term, property ownership and property investment in Wokingham has always, and will always, ride out the storm.

Rob Wilson, Reading East MP, (left) with the team from The Waterside in Woodley

A NEWLY-refurbished Woodley pub received the political seal of approval when the local MP stopped in for a look around last month. On Friday, January 27 Reading East MP Rob Wilson dropped into The Waterside, in Fairwater Drive, formerly known as The Thatchers, to meet new owner Ted Docherty following the pub’s revamp and have a go at pulling a pint behind the bar. Public affairs manager

Jonathan joins Clifton THERE’S a new face at a local law firm. Clifton Ingram LLP has appointmented Jonathan Foulds as a Senior Associate in its commercial property department. Mr Foulds has over a decade’s experience of all aspects of commercial property matters, including commercial landlord and tenant acquisitions and disposals, head office moves and portfolio management. He also has extensive experience in a wide range of sectors including retail, industrial, office and development. Clifton Ingram managing partner Tim Read said: “We are really pleased to have Jonathan on board as his expertise dovetails nicely with our own and will enhance our ability to provide a high quality service on all aspects commercial property.”

Mario Creatura explained to Mr Wilson how Mr Docherty had worked with drinks brand Heineken to invest £450,000 in a complete refurbishment of The Waterside, as part of the company’s nationwide investment in Star Pubs and Bars to encourage growth in the pub industry across the UK. The pub reopened in November and has already received rave reviews for its international-themed menu,

which takes inspiration from the local cuisine of Ted’s homeland of South Africa. Mr Wilson was given a tour of the facilities and even tried his hand at pulling the perfect pint. Rob said: “The traditional British pub plays an important role in communities the length and breadth of Reading East; contributing to the local economy, generating employment and providing residents with places in which

they can relax and enjoy themselves. “I know that this is Ted’s vision for The Waterside, and I’m delighted that the pub has been able to beneﬁt from investment to refurbish the facility – maintaining the thatched roof, of course – and introducing a new menu to help attract Woodley residents. “I wish Ted and his team every success for the future.”

£50m investment helps IT firm to grow By GEMMA DAVIDSON gdavidson@wokinghampaper.co.uk

A WINNERSH Triangle-based IT company is looking to the future after securing a £50m investment. Timico Technology Group, a managed cloud service provider, announced last week that it has secured the huge sum from Lyceum Capital, a growth investor, to facilitate its evolution and fulfil its long-term strategic objectives. The deal will enable Timico to accelerate its ambitious plans for growth with further investment in systems, people and capability to make its mark in the managed IT service space. It will provide the necessary funds to finance selective acquisitions designed to bolster Timico’s skills and expertise in key areas and bring additional strategic service capability to the company. As a result of the deal, Timici has added to its senior executive, with Simon Hitchcock and Geoff Neville of Lyceum joining the team as new non-executive directors. Timico’s founder, Tim Radford, will remain on the board as a non-executive director. CEO Ben Marnham said: “Working with Lyceum Capital is a logical next step in Timico’s evolution, building on the foundations laid by Tim Radford and the team over the last few years. Lyceum have proven expertise in our sector and we share a very similar vision of Timico’s future within it.

Timico CEO Ben Marnham with Lyceum’s Simon Hitchcock

“I am delighted we can now realise our plan to enrich our proposition and service portfolio so we can better serve our clients’ needs and fulfil our ambition to become a market-leading, end-to-end provider of IT and cloud solutions.” Simon Hitchcock added: “Timico is led by a highly capable and impressive team, with a very well-defined strategy to take the business to the next stage in its development as a Managed Cloud Service Provider. “It is clear that its clients, many of whom are long-standing, are firmly at the centre of its plans and can look forward to a very rewarding relationship with the business moving forward. “We are delighted to be supporting Ben and the team through this next, exciting stage of acquisitive growth.”

‘H

OW much would it cost to buy all the properties in Wokingham?” This fascinating question was posed by the 11-year-old son of one of my Wokingham landlords when they both popped into my ofﬁces before the Christmas break (doesn’t that seem an age away now). I thought to myself, that over the Christmas break, I would sit down and calculate the total value of all the properties in Wokingham… and just for fun, work out how much they have gone up in value since his son was born back in the autumn of 2005. In the last 11 years, since the autumn of 2005, the total value of Wokingham property has increased by 74% or £3.6 billion to a total of £8.46 billion. Interesting, when you consider the FTSE100 has only risen by 30.78% and inﬂation (i.e. the UK Retail Price Index) rose by 37% during the same 11 years. When I delved deeper into the numbers, the average price currently being paid by Wokingham households stands at £426,627.… but you know me, I wasn’t going to stop there, so I split the property market down into individual property types in Wokingham; the average numbers come out like this ..

Wokingham Property Market AVERAGE VALUE OF A … Detached Property

Semi Detached

Terraced/ Town House

Apartment

£620,896

£389,182

£409,494

£248,500

... yet even more fascinating, I multiplied the total number of each type of property by the average value. As detached houses are so expensive, when you compare them with the much cheaper terraced/town houses and apartments, you can quite clearly see how valuable detached properties are in terms of total pounds, shillings and pence, when compared to the value of the

terraced/town houses and apartments.

Total Value of all the Wokingham … Detached Properties £5,480,028,096 Semi-Detached £1,432,968,124 Terraced/Town House £1,058,132,496 Apartments £490,042,000 So, what does this all mean for Wokingham? Well as we enter the unchartered waters of 2017 and beyond, even though property values are already declining in certain parts of the previously over-cooked central London property market, the outlook in Wokingham remains relatively good because over the last ﬁve years, the local property market was a lot more sensible than central London’s. Wokingham house values will remain resilient for several reasons. Firstly, demand for rental property remains strong with continued immigration and population growth. Secondly, with 0.25% interest rates, borrowing has never been so cheap and ﬁnally the simple lack of new house building in Wokingham not keeping up with current demand, let alone eating into years and years of under investment – means only one thing – yes, it might be a bumpy ride over the next 12- to 24-months but, in the medium term, property ownership and property investment in Wokingham has always, and will always, ride out the storm.

Rotarians help Jackie get up the stairs

A SCHEME to get vulnerable young people into their own homes in Wokingham has been given the green light by the council. Earlier this month, Wokingham Borough Council’s (WBC) planning committee approved plans for a new affordable housing development in Reading Road submitted by Wokingham Housing Limited (WHL). The development will consist of seven bedsit rooms, two studio flats, a communal living area, a communal kitchen/diner, and a staff office which includes an overnight room. There will also be on-site parking bays, a motorcycle bay, cycle storage for up to ten bikes and a private garden area. The build will take place on council owned land following the demolition of a dilapidated house that was once used as council

offices. The project will be funded partly by a grant of over £300,000 from the Homes and Communities Agency, and it is expected that the first residents will be able to move in by March 2018. Bill Flood, Managing Director of WHL said: “I am delighted that planning approval has been granted for this development that will house young care leavers from the Borough. “What I am most pleased about is how quickly this scheme was progressed through the planning process by using a collaborative approach with the Council and our architects. We have achieved a first rate design that will sit really well within the local area, which through focussing our effort means we are able to benefit from a significant grant of over £300,000 towards building the scheme by being on site before the end of March.”

MEMBERS of a Rotary club in Woodley proved that they are full of community spirit when they came to the aid of a local woman in need of help. Jackie Philips, who suffers from Type 2 Diabetes, recently spent an extended period in hospital after her condition developed into a degenerative bone condition known as Charcot foot Syndrome, where her bones become so weak they could fracture at any time. The condition left Jackie unable to get up the stairs in her house so her friend, Jean Collin, helped her to get a quote for a stairlift to be installed and contacted local charity groups for help in funding the equipment. When Loddon Vale Rotary Club heard of Jackie’s plight, they quickly

agreed to offer £500 to help towards funding the stairlift, meaning Jackie could access her bed easily when she needed to rest. Community Service Chairman and former President of Loddon Vale Rotary, Bill Soane said: “It’s always rewarding to be able to help to make someone’s life better. Throughout the year Rotary Clubs are raising funds to help people like Jackie, you may have wondered where the money raised from activities like our Christmas float go. This, along with supporting local charities and good causes, is what Rotary is about.” n For more information about Loddon Vale Rotary Club visit www. loddonvalerotary.com.

Rotary helps pupils plan future careers

Strange new store to open in town centre

MORE THAN 400 students in Years 7 and 8 posed their questions on possible career opportunities to experienced professionals from the Rotary clubs of Easthampstead and Wokingham. The men and women represented a wide variety of careers in manufacturing, sales and marketing, the legal profession, flying and teaching to name a few, and several with international experience. The students were able to ask the panels why they chose their careers, what qualifications they needed, had they any regrets, how important was money, where were the best opportunities ... and many more.

A POPULAR town centre jewellers is about to open a new, improved store. Strange The Jewellers has moved to Bush Walk from its old base in Rose Street due to the town centre regeneration works. The store is about three times bigger than its previous location and gives the company an opportunity to showcase some brands that can’t be found anywhere else. It opens its doors for the first time on Saturday and owners Jo and Jason Hughes are looking forward to welcoming customers. Mr Hughes said: “We’re looking

Kelsey Armstrong, a Year 7 student at Bracknell’s Brakenhale Academy, said: “The day helped me find out more about what I could do in the future.” Brakenhale’s Careers Co-ordinator, Trevor Dale, added: “Students respond best to careers guidance from people with actual experience. Our guests were able to put a human face on a lot of professions. “Without volunteers from organisations like Rotary, we wouldn’t be able to offer such an event” Easthampstead Rotary Club also helped the Academy last year organising one-on-one job interviews with Year 10 students.

It’s a different shopping experience, but with the same personal service. “We have new display units which really showcase our jewellery. “Our new store is three times the size and we have new ranges such as the Fei Liu collection and Shaun Leane.

Viewpoints NELLIE I KNOWS T’S half-term and I have found a few extra hours in the day when I am not doing school run, washing uniform, watching over homework or waiting for someone to return from a sporting ﬁxture or hastily rearranging the day as someone has suddenly remembered something.

Hurrah for mobile telecommunications! I was chatting to someone about the internet and she asked what we did before the internet was here. I felt old! I explained that we heard the news at news time and not during the day, we shopped when the shops were open and there was no Sunday shopping, when we were in the pub in Bwlch I was telling my girls that the pubs didn’t always welcome children, they were often smoke-ﬁlled, food wasn’t a real thing and they closed during the day. I am sure they looked at me as if I was alien, sometimes I feel I am. I spend a lot of time on Social Media and regularly see people sharing too good to be true competitions to win a campervan, a year’s shopping at a supermarket, 1,000 loyalty card points and all you have to do is like, comment and share. That’s when I shudder. These are too good to be true for a reason, because they are too good to be true. If you were to delve deeper

Beware the scammers

Nellie Williams www.nelliepompoms.co.uk and look at the “pages” you will see that they have thousands of likes and yet there is never any big announcement as to who is the winner. Funny that. That’s because there is never a winner, it’s all about farming likes and gathering people. If you were to look at the page it has four, maybe ﬁve great big wonderful win this posts and that’s it. Do yourself a favour and don’t get involved or excited, just move on. So many times I get asked if they are true and I either check them out myself and ﬁnd they are not or I consult Hoax Slayer or Snopes which gives a comprehensive list of hoax scams. Familiarise yourself with these websites and step away from scams. The thing about being too good to be true is you are subjecting yourself to false hope, your details are being farmed, you are then spreading the misinformation and there are no winners.

How to reduce spam Another thing that I am regularly asked about is how to reduce all those emails that somehow you have subscribed to. It’s easy. Sign up to unroll.me and see your inbox transformed into a more manageable area. I was sceptical to begin with but I guarantee your time will be better spent once you have invested 15 minutes unsubscribing to a pile of unwanted emails. Of course, another way of not getting a ridiculous amount of emails is not to sign up to them and if you do then make sure you check the boxes which suggest either ticking the box for newsletters or unchecking the box. Very sneaky and one thing that irritates me is that when you order anything you are sometimes automatically signed up and then you have to opt out. E-safety is a big thing and I get so angry when I hear that someone has been sent an innocent looking email and

A few weeks ago I had a phone call from an international number so I answered it expecting it to be a family member who is overseas. This voice said hello it’s Sean and I knew it wasn’t. He told me he was calling from BT and there was a problem with my internet so could I switch my computer on. Alarm bells ringing I said yes and didn’t switch my computer on. He then said that’s good your broadband is working well. When I challenged him he turned very nasty and told me I was a liar, to which I replied and you are a scammer. He boasted that he had hundreds of these calls a day and gave a very sinister laugh. I went quiet and he became rude, obnoxious and obscene. The moral of the story is don’t believe it’s someone working for an organisation wanting to sort out a problem – they’ll just cause you more problems. I do worry for the elderly and vulnerable so please, please, please remind your folk that if they have a rogue call they should not give any personal details and certainly don’t get involved with them. I made the mistake of answering a quick survey and was bombarded with loads of calls, now I just say the person they are looking for has moved.

TONY JOHNSON Flying Tonight – ‘Noise Overhead’

EAR Minister, Until we get silent aircraft, we need regulations. The challenge is what and how much to regulate, especially when clearing up after your predecessors. The news from one of our Borough’s four MPs was welcome. Letting us know that your department’s on the regulatory war path – and that you’d appreciate our contributions.

Why should anyone care? When someone’s woken up by aircraft ﬂying overhead at oh dark thirty in the morning, they might want to use the extra time to a) complain; b) participate in the consultation; and c) complain again. Because while a) is easy, they’ll need to get up earlier to deal with b), because it isn’t. Ah. My apologies. They’re up already and probably feeling more insulted than consulted. Having spent 60+ hours trying to understand the context, the proposals and the questions, I now rate ‘war path’ as dangerously misleading. ‘Flight path’ would be better. Preferably strapped down. Here’s why …

The Heathrow Heart Attack There’s two main documents, the 2017 Consultation Document (CD) and the Impact Assessment (IA). Other than acknowledging that people are annoyed by the noise, they’re “rather quiet” as to the health effects. Luckily help is at hand. The World Health Organisation’s 2009 publication Night Noise Guidelines for Europe describes the unpleasant side effects of being deprived of sleep by noise. We all know that it can make you a bit ratty the next day.

HAVE YOUR SAY:

Not so many are aware that if it becomes chronic the behavioural, psychiatric, medical and mortality consequences can be rather unpleasant. Wait a minute, mortality – as in death? –and this wasn’t mentioned in the consultation documents? In 2013, The British Medical Journal (BMJ) published a report Aircraft Noise And Cardiovascular Disease Near Heathrow Airport In London: Small Area Study. It’s unequivocal about the risks of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease and strokes all increasing.

Sorry, we forgot to tell you that … Between them those two 2017 documents are 140 pages long. The footnotes refer to 114 other documents with over 5,500 pages. There’s footnotes about 25 documents which the public can’t even access. The CD says nothing about the consequences to human health and only refers to the 1999 WHO Guidelines For Community Noise. By contrast, the IA is better. It says “the situation is considered increasingly dangerous for public health, including an increased risk of myocardial infarctions”. That’s “heart attacks” to you and me. But it falls ﬂat on its face because instead of presenting the cost beneﬁts it says that health costs are “not presented … as it is not considered to be proportionate”. It’s pretty disproportionate for the affected individuals as well. Also for the NHS, so perhaps Jeremy Hunt’s department might be interested in this consultation, under the “polluter pays” principle.

Gobbledegooked over Gatwick and Semicomatose by Stansted

For those of us who can tell the difference between our decibels and our microPascals (one goes ‘ding’ in reception, the other is a very small French mathematician), this consultation’s a breeze. But only once you’ve read some of the 20-30 documents that “didn’t quite make it” into that group of 114. Cutting to the chase, the World Health Organisation guideline is 40dB or less. In this consultation the noise ﬁgures are 55dB to 70dB and they don’t look so impressive by comparison. As Michael Caine once said “you’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off”. Healthy this isn’t, and it was never easy to clean stables out either.

What else is missing then? Despite lots of charts showing the past, there’s no simple graphics to show the effects of the options for each airport. One only finds “the numbers” on the 138th page, but in table form. Putting them into chart format for comparison, one discovers that proposals which looked good when one first read them are … in my opinion, “brave”. Did I miss a trick? Quite possibly, but I did try going to those consultation questions before reading anything. Didn’t even understand them to start with, but the 60+ hours might have fixed that. There were moments of humour too. Particularly the official government guideline: ”Consultations should be clear and concise”. Quite. By way of appreciation, I’ve a digest of what I’ve discovered.

Greenway or the highway? PROMISES, promises, promises. They can be troublesome things, especially if you make them in public – and to parents. Just ask Nick Clegg in the earshot of any student paying their tuition fees. However you try and dice it, the news that the safe cycle route along Nine Mile Ride is now not going to happen as intended is not exactly the finest hour for our council. And some cynics are even saying on social media that the plan was leaked during half-term precisely so that the bad news could be buried. No longer a safe cycle route along Nine Mile Ride, the new route will take in an isolated, muddy and dark country path that backs on to an industrial estate. It’s in the middle of nowhere and, on damp, dark winters days, will give every parent second thoughts about letting their child use. We are promised that the pathway will be improved, new lighting will be put in and it will be fine, but try telling that to the parents worried about the dangers that could be lurking in the bushes, the ditches that lie either side of the pathway. And part of a proposed greenway is also rumoured to be a dogging spot (we might be investigative journalists, we’ll pass on checking this out). It’s a shoddy decision to change a previously announced plan – and, if it’s true it was made without referring to local councillors, serious questions need to be asked.

CHURCH NOTES

Who can be saved?

‘T

HE Ten Commandments? I’ve kept the Ten Commandments since I was a boy. “In fact, I’m great at commandment keeping. If you want to know about Ten Commandment keeping, I’m your man. I made such a great deal with the main man. Nobody’s got anything on me when it comes to coming up to scratch. Anybody who says anything else is just giving you fake news. They are failed – not like me because me and the main man – we’re going to make Israel great again. Let’s make Israel great again.” The small hands of a certain ruler waved energetically as he told Jesus all of this. So he was surprised, when Jesus said: “One thing you lack. Sell all your companies. Sell your golf resorts. Sell your hotels and give all your money to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven.” When he heard this, the certain ruler looked sad for the ﬁrst time since his executive order had been overruled, because he was very wealthy and he hoped to hand all his wealth over to his children. Those overhearing all of this, turned to Jesus and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Which remains the biggest question for all of us today. Dare we suggest that most people believe the same as the certain ruler which is that it’s all down to a deal between us and God: It’s all about what we have done or being as good as humanly possible. Jesus says, forget it, that’s impossible. We cannot save ourselves. Salvation is only possible with God and it starts with Jesus. Christ Church Wokingham will be looking at Luke 18:18-30 this Sunday morning. Mark Huddleston is minister of Christ Church Wokingham which meets at St Crispin’s school

Keep the scumbags out

Just what was secret about the Grazely plan?

OU know what this paper has been doing wrong all these years? It’s been thinking too small. It only thinks about Wokingham borough news. We need to think big. We have a circulation of just under 4,000. It could be bigger but it could be smaller. Who cares? We should be aiming for a million. Then we might get 10,000. If we make the news big again we’ll sell more copies. Trust me on this. Thank you for reading this newspaper. You’re doing the right thing. Not everyone does the right thing. They’re scumbags. But you’re not because you’re reading this paper. Next week is going to be good. No; it’s going to be really good. You’ll love it. You could be reading about care homes closing, primary schools closing, road works making it difficult for you to get to work or anywhere in or out of the borough. But that’s OK. That makes you tough. You have to think outside the box or is it the envelope or at least outside the A321. You know we have the best borough council in the country. We should appreciate them. They should put their advertising in this paper so the population of Wokingham can appreciate how good they are. It’s time to make Wokingham Borough great again. And we can all do this by advertising in this paper. The editor says I shouldn’t say this because this column should be neutral and not about political lobbying or advertising. But what does he know? He’s a scumbag too – some of the time. This paper’s policy should be Wokingham first, Wokingham first, Wokingham first. I think Wokingham’s problem is that the shops are too full. The roads are too full. We’re letting too many people in. We should build a wall around Wokingham borough and make Reading Borough Council pay for it. Maidenhead and Bracknell can chip in too. We should put turnpikes on the main roads into the borough so only residents get through Scott free. Perhaps that was the wrong word. It should be toll free. While I’m on the subject supermarkets in Wokingham should change the brand name of porridge oats. Own brand is OK. We shouldn’t be using names like Alistair, Duncan or Hamish. Bruce is also dodgy. I think Donald is OK. The guy who built a wall from the east to west coast in the north of England to keep scumbags out had the right idea. But he didn’t finish the job it and its falling down in places. Someone should complete it and maintain it. Private enterprise of course. Now that’s big news. News that comes from outside the borough. It’s good news because we can apply the principle and build our own wall. We should. We shouldn’t be too proud to learn from scumbags they sometimes have the right idea but not very often. That’s why they’re scumbags. And, you know, we should smarten up as a borough. We should all be wearing Ivanka Trump clothes. The editor says I shouldn’t say this. It’s advertising. And this column shouldn’t be promoting brands but what does he know. You should see his jeans. But Gemma our leading reporter is OK. She’s really smart. She’ll never be a scumbag. I like standing close to her. The editor says I shouldn’t say this either because it’s sexist but what does he know. Anyway never mind the editor – what you know. Let us know. Send your thoughts to letters@wokinghampaper.co.uk

May I respond to some of the inaccuracies and untruths that have recently appeared on your letters page concerning Grazeley and the possibility of houses being built there? Wokingham Borough Council is currently going through a lengthy process called the Local Plan Update. This plan considers many things, but in particular it looks at the number of houses to be built in the borough from 2013 to 2036 and where they should be built. Many councils are engaged in the same exercise up and down the country and the way it is done is clearly laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework produced by the government. We are legally bound by this guidance. The first phase of the update was to calculate our ‘housing need’, that is, how many houses we should try to build. The Council commissioned a respected consultancy firm and they calculated the figure of 856 houses per year. This is known as the Objectively Assessed Housing Need (OAHN). This exercise has been carried out by councils up and down the country, many using the same consultant that we used. All appear to have accepted that the procedure is mandatory and that the OAHN cannot be modified. But what if the OAHN figure were ‘challenged’ (whatever that means) as one of your regular contributors suggests? Quite simply, if we ignore the OAHN and just build out the current Strategic Development Locations and no more, we will reach a point where we are building insufficient houses to match the OAHN figure and then find that developers whose planning applications have been refused start winning their planning appeals. This would result in the same number of houses being built as if we’d followed the OAHN, but in unsuitable places in the borough and with much less money coming from developers for roads, schools and so on. Could there be a more idiotic policy? Well, actually, there could be and, guess what, it comes from the same contributor. I’ll come to this in a moment. What about Grazeley? Let’s get the idea that there has been secrecy over Grazeley out of the way for a start. The site at Grazeley, just like all the other sites in the Local Plan Update, was submitted early in 2016 and was made public in September of that year. If Grazeley was a secret, then so were all the other sites. Whether Grazeley eventually gets built or not depends on a lot of factors. It will need a great deal of infrastructure – roads, schools and so on. But there’s no denying that if 10,000 houses were built on the site in our borough, it would necessarily mean less housing for the rest of the borough, parts of which, as we all know, have severe traffic congestion. And finally, the Expression of Interest, a document submitted to the government which describes the infrastructure a development at Grazeley would need if it were to go ahead. How did this come about? Last July, the government contacted the Council and asked if we’d like to apply for a great deal of money to help us to build Grazeley as a Garden Village or Town, development which the government is rather keen on at the moment. The government required a response within days. What should the Council have done? If we don’t apply, nothing happens. If we apply and Grazeley is not subsequently built, nothing happens either. But if Grazeley goes ahead, we will get millions of pounds towards infrastructure, money which we couldn’t raise just through developer contributions. To decline to submit an Expression of Interest would surely be the most financially reckless measure a Council could possibly take. Yet that seems to be the line your contributor is taking. Cllr Christopher Bowring Deputy Executive Member for Planning Wokingham Borough Council

The housing tsunami The letter from Lindsay Ferris in your paper two weeks ago “Wokingham is at a crossroads over housing” made very disturbing reading, but Lindsay missed one

Councillors are here to serve the electorate

I had always thought ‘ya boo, tit-for-tat’ and ‘not me guv’ politicking was, in the main, restricted to the Palace of Westminster. It appears, however, to have spread to he not-so hallowed halls of Shute End (Greedy claim, The Wokingham Paper, February 9.

It would seem avarice and arrogance knows no political boundaries and that whatever their affiliation, local councillors, like their Westminster masters, are more interested in mudslinging, petty point scoring and self-serving nest feathering than what they are elected

key point when he refers to Wokingham building 856 houses a year up to 2036. Wokingham Borough Council’s starting figure will be 856 (a number secretly introduced by this Conservative council without any consultation). 856 is not the end game and I have no doubt the Local Plan Inquiry scheduled for Spring 2019 will increase this figure of 17,000 houses quite considerably and the Council will want that. When one also notes that last year the Conservative Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said the Greenbelt was sacrosanct but the new white paper although it suggests no to Greenbelt development it is shaded in grey in such a way as to enable Greenbelt development. Sad to say, but Wokingham's Conservative administration will just love it as at long last they will have the opportunity they crave for and that is to concrete over the Northern Parishes as well as the rest of the borough’s Greenfields. After he was found out about his secret plans to build 15,000 houses in Grazeley, the Leader of Wokingham Council, Keith Baker, supported by the vast majority of his Councillors, persists with Grazeley development supported by urban extensions as the answer to his massive house building intention for Wokingham Borough. (Watch out every parish/town and that includes Emmbrook). Keith Baker has also publicly stated that if land is not protected or in a floodplain then it can or could be developed. Add his and Councillor Mark Ashwell's public commitment to supporting the housing needs of Bracknell, Reading and West Berkshire, the future is bleak on the housing front for Wokingham's residents. This raises all sorts of questions as Wokingham cannot bury its head in the sand by having a cosy relationship with Reading, West Berkshire and Bracknell to help them build their housing shortfall without doing the same for Conservative run Windsor and Maidenhead which plans to build 7,000 houses in the greenbelt, of which 4,000 are in the Prime Ministers constituency. The Leader of Conservative-run Windsor and Maidenhead sacked a very senior councillor who had the audacity to inform the public of plans to build 7,000 in the Greenbelt and if even partially successful it will put enormous pressure on Wokingham's Northern Parishes. The reality is Windsor and Maidenhead cannot

and paid to do, namely and, just to remind them, serving and acting in the best interests of those they clamour to represent. My message to them all is simply this – grow up, get a grip and get on with it! J W Blaney, Wokingham

build their full quota in the Greenbelt then the pressure on Wokingham to take their shortfall will be acute and I am quite sure Keith Baker will say like he has to Reading, Bracknell and West Berks of course you can build on our Greenfields and Greenbelt. Alternatively, If Greenbelt development is permitted in Windsor and Maidenhead the ability of Wokingham to stop Greenbelt development in the Northern Parishes (which I do not believe they really want to do) will be severely compromised. Either way the Northern Parishes will pay the price. I am quite sure Wokingham will be champing at the bit to jump on that bandwagon and fulfil another of their real intentions which is a massive development (Strategic Development) in the Northern parishes on their Greenbelt, which is being actively and enthusiastically promoted by David Lee and other Wokingham Councillors. What is clear to me is that Wokingham Borough Council, by not seriously defending its green spaces, is in reality actively encouraging the building of as many houses as they can under the false impression it will solve all their financial problems. It will not solve the financial problems but the outcome will lead to the housing tsunami I keep predicting without the infrastructure to support it. Shame on you Wokingham Borough Council and its Conservative administration as the residents deserve better as do the residents of Emmbrook. Cllr Gary Cowan Independent Member for Arborfield at Wokingham Borough Council

Expenses double standards I was surprised to read Gary Cowan’s letter about additional responsibility payments in last week’s paper. I was particularly shocked that it did not mention how he forcibly and passionately argued to double his own payment as a director of one of the Council’s companies to a total of £18,000 when the companies were reorganised and his responsibilities were reduced. I note that he now says there is no justification for these kinds of payments - which is the complete reverse of his opinion from this time last year. Back then, he detailed the hours he had to put in and the risk he was taking, and how it would be unfair for him to be expected to take on this role without payment for his time.

PM is abandoning child refugees It is shameful that Theresa May has decided to renege the Government’s promise to bring the most vulnerable refugee children to safety in the UK. That the announcement was sneaked out by the Tories just before recess, is an absolute disgrace. The UK has taken just 350 lone child refugees which is nowhere near the 3000 originally proposed by Lord Dubs and is fewer than one per local authority in the UK. Any claim by the Prime Minister to be a compassionate Conservative is utterly undermined by the dereliction of duty to some of the most vulnerable people in the world. The Government should have been doing far more to support local authorities in helping provide the support and safety child refugees need so desperately. Only this week, a report by the counter-extremism organisation Quilliam revealed how thousands of vulnerable child refugees, abandoned by countries like the UK, are being left vulnerable to sexual and financial exploitation by human traffickers and radicalisation by groups like so-called Islamic State that are seeking to capitalise on Europe's wavering response to the refugee crisis. Citizens UK is a charity that witnesses first-hand the horrifying daily risks these children faced in Calais and just how desperate for safety they were. This is a national scandal, which disgraces us all. The Government should hang its head in shame. Britain has a proud tradition of welcoming those most in need. We stepped up to rescue 10,000 Jewish children from Nazi persecution. One of those children was Lord Dubs, who arrived in the UK as a child refugee on the kindertransport. Which is why I am joining Citizens UK and calling for the Prime Minister to stand by the country's values, reverse her decision and keep Lord Dubs' scheme alive. Keith Taylor, Green Party MEP

The National Health Service I specifically use the full title of the organisation – Readers will see why in a while! It is appropriate to use recent Press revelations on the current thinking by what are referred to as “Health Bosses” who think the financial stresses affecting the NHS should be curbed by reducing the service – at a time when it becomes ever more vital and required, given the increasing population etc. As appears to be the case in anything to do with government, the issues they are addressing, with the merging/sharing resources, are misdirected. While they are addressing some improvements such as efficiency – the key starting points need to be: (a) Is the organisation the right format? (b) What are the cost drivers in such a business? [By the way, what is efficiency in the NHS?] Returning to point (a), once we had a National service until “someone” decided to break it into a new network of empires called Trusts – yes empires is the correct word for these bureaucratic centres of top heavy non-productive staff (A lot of these are called “managers”), and overpaid executive level staff. How many I ask, have anywhere near the experience and abilities of our Matrons of old? A clue to one answer to question (a) – to get rid of Trust status and manage the NHS as one body with perhaps some regional centres to serve it. Point (b) is less easy to answer other we can suggest procurement and employment costs are among the prime cost drivers. Some of (b) on the matter of staffing costs will be influenced by getting the organisational disaster corrected, but on procurement, the major disaster of independent Trusts is that none can negotiate with adequate power, to reduce the frightening price they pay for medicines and equipment. Nationally that is far easier to do.

Gary, please stop reporting false facts about us! I have been watching your papers involvement with Cllr Cowan over recent weeks and am amazed at the space you allocate to him every single week. He appears to be “on the staff” now and gets about three times the space of your regular contributor Nellie! I have not responded before now but as he has now started making things up which are totally false I felt it was appropriate to correct them in one go. I challenge him to provide the written evidence on any of these “false facts”. I hope you will give equal prominence to my letter as you have each week from the contribution from Cllr Cowan. I am sure there will be another letter in this paper as well. Twice now he has stated that a proposal for retrospective support for the Expression of Interest for Grazeley development was made by me and supported by Shinfield Councillors. This never happened. This is “false fact” as your article and the letter from them in the letters page indicate. You also published an accusation that Wokingham were taking houses from Reading, Bracknell and West Berkshire councils. Again totally untrue. There has been no discussions or debate on doing this and Wokingham [Borough] Council has not been approached by any of them. Another “false fact”. Cllr Cowan was a member of the Conservative Group for 20 years, as he likes saying.

A large part of that he was a member of the Executive making decisions. Not once did he ever raise the issue about allowances or special responsibility allowances. If it was as evil as he now suggests why did he not mention it? Why did he not resign in protest? After all as a senior member of the Executive he had a significant influence. When the previous Independent Remuneration Panel resigned under David Lee’s leadership over additional allowances for Deputies he had a great opportunity to resign then. What happened – SILENCE. So why is he now complaining? Is it because it took him 20 years for his conscience to stir or was it because he was not selected as a suitable candidate for election in 2018? Readers should note that this “conversion” to this cause happened after he failed the interview not before. I wonder what would have happened if he had passed the interview? Based on previous experience I guess it would have been SILENCE! More “false facts” emerge in his latest, nearly full page article (sorry I mean letter), about the distribution of allowances. First of all remuneration for nonexecutive directors is not a council matter. These are properly legally constituted companies, registered at Companies House, with a Board of

I do not have to remind readers that we have many examples of highly successful “trading” organisations, ably led perhaps by Amazon, with the brilliant John Lewis company and Supermarkets – especially Lidl and Aldi demonstrating their power daily to our benefit. I would therefore propose that such a commercial organisation advise the government on what to do to achieve what is second nature to them. Perhaps actually to provide the service for us. Such central procurement and distribution would even benefit all suppliers and especially the

investment in high tech equipment, because of the totally different market visibility they would have. These few notes are to encourage thought on a highly complex organisation, but I need note are not intended to suggest any privatisation of the core services. I need note specifically, judging by my now quite broad experience of the Royal Berkshire Hospital and my local Surgery – which I will not name as everyone will try to sign on – over the past four years, that the medical staff including Surgeons. Consultants, Doctors, senior Nurses and Secretarial etc. are excellent!! [I cannot retire to the country

VOLUNTEER CORNER  Elevate is part of Wokingham Borough council. It helps bring together organisations who help young people and adults to find employment and training by providing careers advice and guidance, IT support, workshops and work experience. They are looking for Job Shop Volunteers to help a young person or adult to look for job vacancies, education and training opportunities. This may include the Elevate website, the internet, local papers, business websites, shop windows etc. The volunteer will need good communication and mentoring skills, a non-judgmental approach and enjoy helping people. Ability to use the internet and a PC is a must. Some understanding of CV

Directors. As is standard to all companies these non-executive directors are paid roles of which Cllr Cowan is one of them. That payment comes from the operational costs of the company and not from the council. Any councillor who sits on more than one board can only claim one payment and that has not changed and won’t under my leadership. Interestingly Cllr Cowan, was a director of one company where he was paid £6,000. When a new subsidiary was created he became chairman of that company resigning from the first company. As that new company involved less work the starting payment was £3,000. After six months he asked for it to be raised to £6,000 as that is what he had before and the increase was agreed. Not sure how that fits into his commentary on payments to Councillors? Maybe he should ask for it to be reduced again? I am sure the company would have no problem agreeing to such a request! Much has been made around councillors receiving multiple special responsibility allowances (SRA). Over those 20 years of Cllr Cowan’s participation, all councillors, except the Executive, have been able and indeed received multiple allowances. Not a single comment from Cllr Cowan on how bad this was – this cannot be because he was “gagged”

for 20 years. Given his regular letters readers must find it difficult to believe such a vociferous individual could ever be gagged! So what is the truth here? Well, only three councillors receive more than one SRA and none of them are Executive Members. The total sum involved is £5,750 and would have to be paid as the role requires doing so there is absolutely no increase in the budget. As Leader I have reduced the cost to the council of these payments by 14.3% by abolishing a number of SRA paid posts and it remains a priority of mine. I have also made a public commitment to move to a position where no councillor receives more than one SRA. Finally, I note Cllr Cowan agrees with Donald Trump! I think that is a great insight into his character and says it all. Donald Trump continually makes up “false facts” which has been well trailed in all the media. Clearly Cllr Cowan has graduated from one of Trump’s Academies where he cannot differentiate between fantasy and reality. Maybe he would like Donald Trump to come and address our council as I think he may now have a spare slot if the Parliamentary Speaker’s views are carried through.

CANTLEY PARK may have been cold, but it was full of action on Sunday as thousands of runners gathered for the 31st Wokingham Half Marathon. Some wore fancy dress, others were using the 13.1 mile course around some of Wokingham’s nicest countryside as a warm-up for big race meetings in the weeks ahead. But all had one aim: to master the course in the quickest possible time. Although no course records were broken this year by serious runners, it is thought that a camel costume worn by brothers Simon and Fred Manning will have taken a world record. The pair ran the course in1:38:55 – the previous record was 1:42:47. They are awaiting verification from the Guinness World Records. The first runner home was Coventry’s Toby Spencer. His time of 1:05:48 was almost 40 seconds faster than second placed Peter Newtown, who came in with a time of 1:06:29. The first female runner home was Joanne Harvey from Aldershot, Farnham and District AC, who had an impressive time of 1:18:10, just 18 seconds ahead of Samantha Amend. Mr Spencer said: “I’m pretty happy today, the course has been really fast. It’s my first halfmarathon of the year and it’s been a brilliant atmosphere.” He is planning to return to the course next year to defend his title. And for some of the fun runners, the event was an opportunity to raise money for charity. Keith McDaniel ran the race for the me2 Club. He said: “I’ve lived in Wokingham for 20 years and my two girls have enjoyed access to many great facilities in the area, including Guides, Netball, Dance and Duke of Edinburgh. “I decided I wanted to help young people with additional needs to be able to join in and benefit from mainstream groups, and so with my 50th birthday coming up in March I set myself the target of running a marathon whilst fundraising for Me2 Club. “I’ve been using the Woodley Parkruns as part of my training and then on Sunday I joined in with the Wokingham Half Marathon. “It was a great experience for me, everyone was so friendly and the support all the way round was brilliant. I’m less nervous about the full Brighton marathon now – I’m telling myself it’s only twice the distance!” To support Mr McDaniel, you can visit www. justgiving.com/Kevin-McDaniel Race organiser Peter Evans was pleased with how the day’s event went, with the race streamed live on The Wokingham Paper’s website giving armchair sports fans a chance to watch the action without heading to freezing Cantley. Mr Evans said: “We had a few problems early on, with some volunteers going sick, but it wasn’t a problem in the end – we had a contingency. “On Saturday, it was snowing as we put the

markers out, but thankfully it didn’t come to much.” “The turnout as a percentage was certainly quite good. We had 2,400 entries, but 1,800 started. The world record today was the camel, but that was it, we didn’t have a course record.” But there’s no rest for Mr Evans and his team: first, they will be finishing this year’s admin. He said: “We’ve got to wrap this one up, that will probably be April, and then we’ll have two months off and then we’ll start again.”  The main sponsor is David Cliff Estate Agents, other sponsors are Herrington Carmichael Solicitors and Freeborn Motor Group.

HEALTH MATTERS

Personal fitness with Chris Hunt with Nicola Strudley

Get a drinking habit… Want to be a success? Here’s are six easy tips, writes CHRIS HUNT –and you’ll be amazed at how straightforward they can be to implement

ALFWAY through February and I cannot believe how quickly the first six weeks of 2017 have gone. An update from last week firstly, the Stag Do was awesome, Bournemouth got taken over and my brother-in-law Matt got a good sending off. To cap off an amazing weekend, England beat Wales in the rugby and also my beloved Liverpool got the three points off Tottenham to secure the VICTORY and keep us above Manchester United. Now on to this week which has been fun due to the children being off for half-term and it is also my wife’s birthday. It would be rude to also not mention one of my longest serving clients Darren, who also shares the same birthdate with my wife which is today, February 16. All I am going to say to you Darren is I have a treat waiting for you at The Hub and it won’t be the cake variety, so please look forward to that. As I am in a GREAT mood this week for the reasons noted above I also want to share some little gems of knowledge / habit ideas with you that will put a smile on your face. Start implementing some or lots

of the tips and I GUARANTEE your body will thank you for it. So why wait any longer? Check out my birthday inspired list of a few habits that are from my book to be released very, very soon. Long lasting POSITIVE HABITS are essential so start forming them today. I truly believe my six pillars of change model is a GAME CHANGER so I have listed one from each pillar category to get you going now, today: n Set aside one hour every Sunday evening to look at your week ahead. This one hour could be worth up to 10 hours of your time the following week. n Create a personal mission

statement for you and your life. This mission statement will help guide you through the good and bad times. n Once per week, try and wake up when the sun rises. This natural process will give you energy and drive and will seriously improve your productivity. n Be proactive and not reactive. If you are constantly waiting for something to happen rather than shaping your life so that you are in control then you are doing it wrong. Own your life and your environment. n Drink one litre of water for every 23kg of bodyweight you have daily.

For me this is around three litres per day and for you it may be slightly less or slightly more. Being hydrated will keep your energy levels high, your focus spot on and your skin feeling smooth and revitalised. n Finally tip six… If you struggle with habit formations, forming routines and creating a plan of action, find a coach like me who can help. The benefit of having a coach far outweighs the cost involved and I promise you won’t regret it. So there you have some simple tips and habits that you can start implementing today. Why wait? Pick one right now that you can implement. Go and drink a pint of water and start upping your hydration, set an alarm for tomorrow morning for the sunrise which is around 07:15am, block out an hour in your diary for this Sunday…it’s completely up to you. Action is the foundational key to all success. The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn’t like to do. And finally a quote from a mentor of mine… Warren Buffet (a slightly well-off investor from the US): “Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.” Get habit forming, feel the love and energy you have already this week due to all the exciting things going on in your life. Take ownership and reap the rewards instantaneously. Happy THURSDAY…

New faces will boost cancer treatment centre A REVOLUTIONARY cancer treatment centre which is being built in Shinfield has been strengthened by the announcement of two senior executive appointments. Proton Partners International, which is building its third cancer centre at the Thames Valley Science Park, has appointed Lis Neil as chief operating officer, formerly operations director of diagnostic and specialist services at Nuffield Health, and Dr Ian Barwick as chief scientific officer, formerly chief operating officer at the Life Sciences Hub Wales. With 25 years of senior healthcare experience, Lis will be responsible for daily operations, such as commissioning new facilities and ensuring the quality, efficiency and safety of services offered by Proton Partners. As chief scientific officer, Dr Ian Barwick will play an integral role in driving patient-led research to ensure Proton Partners makes a

valuable contribution to the future of cancer treatment. Lis said: “It is an honour to join Proton Partners at such an exciting time for the company. “Not only is Proton Partners at the forefront of bringing proton beam therapy to the UK, but it is also becoming one of the fastest growing oncology companies in the world.” Ian said: “The company’s

investment in technology and research will go a long way to developing our knowledge of proton beam therapy in the treatment of cancer.” Mike Moran, chief executive officer of Proton Partners International, said: “Lis and Ian both have decades of experience in health and scientific research, and I am delighted they have joined our team.

“Research is central to our work. “Ian’s experience in analysing data and engaging with the NHS will be essential in ensuring our goals are translated into clinical reality. “Proton Partners is focused on offering the most cutting edge cancer treatments available, as well as carrying out extensive research programmes to drive discovery and improve understanding of proton beam therapy in treating cancer. “This data will not only be useful for our purposes but we hope to share it with our clinical partners and stakeholders. “Through our centres, we aim to develop a world-class cancer service as well as contribute to the broader research effort to improve cancer care for patients. We are currently building three UK centres, but we have plans for two more, and therefore Lis will be leading a team of staff to ensure the company’s goals become a reality.”

Living with macular degeneration

E all reach an age where our sight stops being perfect. Macular degeneration (MD) develops when the part of the eye responsible for central vision (the macula) is unable to function as effectively as it used to. Macular degeneration is the most common cause of visual impairment in older adults. In the UK, it is estimated that over a quarter of a million adults suffer blindness because of it. As yet there is no cure. Healthwatch asked the local Macular Degeneration (MD) support group to capture stories of those living in Wokingham Borough with the condition, to find out about the ease of accessing information and services locally. Fifteen people were interviewed, living with varying stages of the condition, from recent diagnosis to significant sight-loss. Nine were registered as partially sighted. Reaction to diagnosis was varied. Some respondents accepted the situation with calm resignation; for others, diagnosis was a shock leading to acute anxiety relating to the impact of their condition, their ability to cope in the future and deep depression regarding impending sight loss. A source of anxiety was fear of being misunderstood. Loss of central vision results in an inability to see faces clearly. Chance encounters in the street could go unnoticed, reducing opportunities for socialising, and respondents were concerned that they would be considered unfriendly. Reading was often cited first when respondents were asked about which were the most significant challenges to their daily-living activities. All were familiar with the difficulties of struggling with text and those registered with impaired sight were no longer able to read standard text at all. Reading labels on food packaging, often in small print and on a poor background made shopping a frustrating experience. Mobility was a big issue. Once driving was no longer possible, walking or using public transport became the alternative unless friends and family offered lifts. A loss of confidence was consistently quoted by respondents. For the most severely affected, cooking became a safety issue and had to be stopped leading to increased reliance on spouses or more simple methods of preparing food. The study shows that the experience of MD is one of losses, with many of these losses leading to increased social isolation. All those interviewed had made many adaptions to their daily-living activities and sought to find a way round difficulties in order to maintain as much independence and pleasure in life as possible. To read the study go to healthwatchwokingham. co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/MacularDegeneration-Report-Feb-2017.pdf Visit your GP or optometrist if your vision is getting gradually worse. If your vision suddenly gets worse, images are distorted or you notice blind spots in your field of vision, seek medical advice immediately and book an emergency appointment with an optometrist. If MD is suspected, you’ll be referred to an ophthalmologist for tests and any necessary treatment.

Help needed to make Progress A VOLUNTEER-led theatre in Reading is hoping to celebrate a milestone anniversary with a big boost in funds. Progress Theatre is celebrating its 70th birthday this year, which makes it the oldest producing theatre in the area, but it depends on funds raised through its diverse programme of events and the generosity of its patrons for its continued existence. Last year, the theatre started a fundraising initiative to raise £20,000 needed to resurface its car park, which suffers from flooding during the winter months. After raising an impressive £6,000, the theatre is making another push for donations. One of the initiatives taking place will be a tandem skydive in June, with volunteers coming from a range of backgrounds. One of the lucky ten who will be jumping for Progress Theatre is Andrew Spindler, who is hoping to overcome his fear of heights, as well as raise lots of money. He said: “I think it’s important that this volunteer-run organisation provides not only an opportunity for local talent but providing entertainment for the community. “I am also keen to overcome what feels like a middle-aged fear of heights!” Theatre member Steph Dewar, who will be joining Andrew in the jump, said: “I love Progress: it is a truly magical space where truly magical things happen.” n For more information on Progress Theatre and how you can help with the fundraising initiative, visit www.progresstheatre.co.uk/fundraising.

Jess Glynne, Pet Shop Boys, All Saints, Goldie and Chaka Khan … the sounds of the summer at Henley Festival

Entries wanted for Wokingham Arts Trail

It’s the most glamorous festival around … and big names are queueing up to appear. GEMMA DAVIDSON finds out more

HE LINE-UP for the swankiest festival in the music calendar has been announced. Henley Festival, which won Headline Performance of the Year at the 2016 Festivals awards, will take place over five days this July to the sounds of Pet Shop Boys (middle left), Goldie, Chaka Khan, All Saints (middle right) and Jess Glynne (main pictured) as well as many other top acts. The glamorous boutique festival, which operates a strict black-tie dress code, takes place annually on the banks of the River Thames, and has hosted headline acts such as Paloma Faith, Will Young and Elton John in previous years. This year, Grammy award-winning singer songwriter Jess Glynne will open the festival on the iconic Floating Stage on Wednesday, July 5, while the Pet Shop Boys will perform the following night. Friday night’s entertainment will be provided courtesy of the Queen of Funk Chaka Khan, while the father of

UK Drum and Bass Goldie will present an orchestral version of his ground-breaking album Timeless on Saturday night. Closing the festival on Sunday, July 9 will be one of the most successful girl groups of all time, All Saints. But music is not the only entertainment on offer at the festival, as top comedy acts such as Andy Parsons, Seann Walsh, Russell Kane and Sara Pascoe will be tickling plenty of ribs throughout the duration. Festival-goers will also be treated to performances by the legendary Ronnie Scott’s All Stars while sipping on cocktails in a cabaret-style setting by the river, while the Bedouin Tent will be grooving to the sounds of global world music and home-grown folk acts.

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

ICE HOCKEY

Play-off blow

Hit it further and straighter in 2017

Swindon Wildcats 6 Bracknell Bees 5 (after penalties) BRACKNELL BEES’ slim play-off hopes were dealt a severe blow as they suffered penalty heartbreak against rivals Swindon Wildcats. The two sides could not be separated throughout with the scores level at the end of each period as Shaun Thompson (2), Alex Barker, Carl Thompson and James Galazzi all found the net. But it was Swindon who grabbed the extra point, winning 2-1 in the shoot-out. With eighth placed Sheffield Steeldogs picking up two points for overtime victory over Guildford Flames, Bees desperately needed to follow suit, but they lost out in a thriller. Although they claimed a point for the eventual defeat, Lukas Smital’s men are now 10 points behind Sheffield, the only side they could still catch, with nine games remaining. Bees started the game on the front foot and took an early lead with less than two minutes on the clock when Carl Thompson slotted home. And just 90 seconds later, the advantage was doubled as Barker finished well to beat netminder Stevie Lyle. This forced Wildcats into an early time-out to try and salvage the contest. But despite having a five on three advantage following a slashing penalty for Matt Foord and boarding minor by David Gaborcik, Swindon could not find a way through. Back up to their full complement, Bees came forward again but missed a close range chance. Wildcats rallied and did level up at 2-2 before the first break, scoring first on a power-play when Martin Pavlicek was sent to the box for a hooking call, allowing Robin Kovar in to score. The increasingly feisty contest was levelled as Tomasz Malasinski spun a fine backhand around Harvey Stead and into the bottom corner. Both sides started the second stanza slowly but it was the visitors who went back ahead when Galazzi and Barker combined with the former notching his fourth goal of the campaign. Olegs Lascenko came a whisker away from putting the Cats two behind again, firing just over the bar, but the hosts instead equalised when Stephen Whitfield turned in. Tempers continued to flare with Galazzi requiring treatment for a cut above the eye and the hosts took the lead for the first time when Kovar got his second. But back came Bees to make it 4-4 heading into the final period with Shaun Thompson grabbing his first of the evening, firing high into the net. Wildcats missed a glorious chance to go back ahead when the ball bounced off the boards into the path of Tom Rutkis for an open goal, but he inexplicably missed the target. Both outfits were wary of conceding during the start of the third, but on 44 minutes Bees did get their noses back in front. Luka Basic wound up a shot which Shaun Thompson cleverly turned in off the post giving Lyle no chance. The game was sent into overtime when Rutkis made amends for his earlier miss. Penalties were required to separate the teams and Bracknell were up first, but Basic could not convert. Jan Kostals also failed to light the lamp for Swindon as his shot was saved by Mettam before Shaun Thompson gave Bees the early shoot-out advantage. Jonas Hoog quickly restored parity and after misses by Bees duo Barker and Gaborcik, Kovar took the chance to seal victory.  Bees face a busy weekend with a trip to Peterborough Phantoms on Saturday (7pm) and a home game against Swindon on Sunday (6pm).

CROSS COUNTRY

Pupils to race in national ﬁnal TWO pupils from a school in Wokingham will be representing their school in a national cross country ﬁnal after storming home in the regional heats earlier this month. Monty Neave and Maddison Scott, from Holme Grange School, in Heathlands Road, came 7th and 8th respectively in their classes at the Independent Schools Association (ISA) London West Regional cross country event on February 3. The event, which saw hundreds of pupils from schools from across the

region compete, took place at Sherfield School, in Hampshire. Holme Grange was represented by a total of 18 students, ranging from Year 3 to Year 8. Monty and Maddison will now go on to fly the flag for Holme Grange at the national finals at Princethorpe College, Rugby, on March 4. A spokesperson for the school said: “Each age category had approximately 120 runners, so it was a very competitive field. All of our pupils performed brilliantly.”

HOCKEY

Sam is hat-trick hero Men’s

SAM FOX-HARVEY bagged a hattrick as South Berkshire 1s got back to winning ways in MBBO Division 1. Berks lost 6-2 last time out, but goals from Neil Bennett and Will Simpson, as well as Fox-Harvey’s treble, earned a 5-3 win over OMT 2s. Fox-Harvey, who now has 20 goals for the season, and the rest of the Berks side can still harbour hopes of promotion with six points between them in fifth and the top two places. In the same league, SOUTH BERKSHIRE 2s had a nightmare afternoon to forget against runaway leaders Witney 1s. Berks, who sit second bottom, were annihilated 16-0 with the league’s top scorer, and the only man to have scored more than Fox-Harvey, Ben Wells netting a hattrick. Rory Heaslip (5), Dan Wallis (3) and Jacob Deacon (3) also flourished in front of goal. SONNING 2s remain third bottom after a 5-0 home loss against Ramgharia 1s. Up in Regional 2, Ian Gallagher found the net as SONNING 1s drew 1-1 at Eastcote 2s. Will Haverlange scored for the hosts to leave third-placed Sonning now 10 points off the top two. In Division 3, a Tom Scott brace could not prevent SOUTH BERKSHIRE 3s from losing 6-3 at home to Wootton Wanderers 1s. Duncan Clarke also scored for the hosts, but defeat drops them down to fourth.

SONNING 4s and SOUTH BERKSHIRE 3s played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in Division 5. Jamie Haworth, Matt Price and Chris Roberts all scored for hosts Sonning but strikes from Paul Kaplanski (2) and Matt Taylor earned the visitors a share of the spoils. Elsewhere, SOUTH BERKSHIRE 5s beat Banbury Piranhas and SOUTH BERKSHIRE TERRIERS eased past Wallingford 5s.

Women’s

Lorraine Sellwood’s goal could not prevent SONNING 2s from losing 2-1 at Oxford 3s, dragging them into a relegation scrap. Sonning stay eighth in the Trysports Premier 1 table, but having played more games than anyone else, their three point advantage over the bottom two looks increasingly precarious. At the top end, SONNING 1s moved eight points clear with a 4-0 thrashing of Oxford Hawks 3s. Holly Bentley and Katie Oliver were on the score sheet as SOUTH BERKSHIRE 1s drew 3-3 at Wallingford 1s, a win which keeps them third. SOUTH BERKSHIRE enjoyed mixed fortunes across the leagues with the 2s drawing against Wallingford 2s in Premier 2, the 3s losing 3-1 to Henley 3s and the 4s beating Reading 4s. SONNING VETERANS lost 4-0 at home to Wycombe 4s.

S golfers around the country prepare themselves for the season ahead, we are all looking to gain a few yards off the tee. Every golfer loves the feeling of striking their driver sweetly and seeing it go past their playing partner’s Sunday best. If you are looking to gain some yardage off the tee, give the tips below a try.

Posture As you address the ball, ensure that your spine feels straight and let your arms hang freely. If you are rounded in the shoulders (appear to be hunched over the ball), you simply cannot achieve the amount of shoulder rotation that you can with a nice straight spine. Feel as though you are standing tall with your shoulder blades pulled back. Notice how this affects your body language. You will feel tall, powerful and conﬁdent! This is a great way of increasing clubhead speed and it can also cure that dreaded slice!

Visualisation As you prepare to hit your Tee Shot pick a point in the distance, perhaps the top of a tree that catches your eye. Allow yourself to visualise a great strike and see a powerful ball ﬂight ﬂying straight at your target. If you

stand on the tee seeing your ball slicing off towards the water, you can almost guarantee where your ball will go. Be positive and trust your swing.

Custom Fitting This week myself and my Senior Assistant Dan Ball were lucky enough to spend time testing Mizuno’s new driver with their Tour Truck Operations Manager Alex Thorne. As we moved the weights in the head and tried various shafts it was incredible how much distance and accuracy we gained. One of the key points we look at when we fit drivers for golfers of all abilities is an optimum launch angle with low spin. If the ball is spinning at the desired rate, the ball will not only fly further but straighter as well. Most club golfers hit the ball with a descending blow which creates more spin. Try to feel yourself hitting your driver with a slightly upwards strike and launching the ball into the air. We can then fit you with a driver which achieves the correct spin rate. The end result is driver tuned for your swing, maximising distance and accuracy. Give these tips a try and let me know how you get on. If you would like any more information on club fitting please get in touch with us at Bearwood Lakes.

RUGBY

Rams walkover Barnes Barnes 22 Redingensians Rams 36

Rockets’ captain Danny Carter

BASKETBALL

Rockets win keeps them in title chase READING ROCKETS kept pace with the NBL Division One leaders after a brilliant brace of victories. Rockets, who have now won their last 13 matches, were pushed hard by Team Solent Kestrels on Saturday before triumphing 88-81. And Manuel Pena Garces’ men returned home on Sunday night, welcoming Bradford Dragons to Bohunt School and thrashed them 108-85. While still third in the table, Reading (14-3) now have an equal record to second-placed Manchester Magic and are only four points off Team Northumbria (16-3) with two games in hand. And Rockets will be strong favourites to make it 14 wins on the spin when they travel to face Westminster Warriors (0-15) on Sunday afternoon, a side they beat 79-55 just two weeks ago. “Last time against Westminster, although we won comfortably in the end, we did not give the performance we wanted,” said head coach Pena Garces. “We will be looking to change that this time around. “Getting the win will be the most important thing of course, but that will come through performance and that’s where our focus will be this week so we don’t slip up against a team that is fighting for their lives in the division.” Rockets’ winning streak was put to the test on Saturday when they travelled down to face in-form Solent. Kestrels took the first quarter, cruising into a 15-8 lead which led to an early time-out called by Pena Garces to try and arrest the slide. And it worked with captain Danny Carter leading the charge with 11 points and a number of key blocks and interceptions to haul his side back into contention at 20-18 come the first break. But Rockets stepped through the gears in the second period with a steal and score from Paulin Jardim setting the tone before Carter fired in the visitors’ first treble of the evening. Chris Hooper then began on a 10-point personal trail during the

second stanza and with Ibu Demba Jassey’s slam dunk, Rockets led 44-39 at half-time with Carter (18) and Hooper (13) the leading away scorers. There was still very little to separate the two sides by the end of the third quarter with Rockets 65-63 ahead, but Reading stormed away in the fourth with American star Craig Ponder taking control with 11 points. Carter ended the day with 29 points, followed by Hooper (23) and Ponder (19) in the 88-81 success. And Reading stepped things up again in front of their home crowd on Sunday. Facing one of the three sides to beat them in this campaign, Rockets shot out the blocks to lead 13-2 against Bradford Dragons, and went on to score 108 points, a record high for the season. Dragons rallied to trail by just 21-15 at the end of the first, but with a 50-33 lead at half-time, the contest was effectively already won. Carter again led the scoring charts with 24 while Hooper and Ponder (both 23) also contributed well. “I am really proud of my players after this weekend’s performances,” said Pena Garces. “We showed great character in both games and played some great basketball but most importantly came out of the weekend with two wins. “We are not thinking about anything yet other than keeping the momentum we have going, continuing to put in good performances, but crucially continuing to be better every time we are together. “We are really happy but nothing is won yet so we want more and the players are working so hard to hopefully achieve something special this season.” One piece of bad news for Rockets is that shooting guard Joel Keeble is likely to miss the remainder of the season. Keeble had expected to return after four to five weeks following wrist surgery, but complications are set to rule him out for longer.

REDINGENSIANS recovered from a shocking start to storm back and beat Barnes to cement their top half position in National League 2 South. Rams, who came into the game on the back of two straight wins, would have fancied their chances against struggling Barnes, but two Alex Crane tries in the first five minutes threatened to derail the visitors. However, Mike Tewkesbury’s men rallied with skipper Tom Vooght, Stevie Bryant, Ben Henderson, Jordan Souter and replacement Miles Lloyd all scoring tries to round off a memorable comeback. Rams were stunned early on as Crane first profited from a James Hersey kick before a fumble in the midfield allowed Barnes to break clear with Crane scoring in the corner again. But after winning a penalty on their own try line, a fine Jacob Atkins kick earned Rams some territory, from which they reduced the deficit

to 10-5 as Vooght slid over. However, back came the hosts, going 17-5 up after two collapsed mauls following some dogged defending. Another Atkins kick sparked the second revival as he fired past the try line and Bryant was there to latch onto it and dab down for his third try in as many games. And when Crane was sent to the sin-bin and Atkins converted Henderson’s try, Tewkesbury’s charges moved

ahead for the first time at 1917 going into half-time. That advantage was soon extended after the restart as Bryant broke through the lines and teed up Souter to score. Barnes did offer some resistance, especially when Anthony Marris was sent to the bin, but Rams held firm. And the win was all but sealed seven minutes from time when Lloyd went over in the corner.

The hosts managed another try of their own, but it was too little, too late with Rams running out 36-22 victors. Eighth-placed Redingensians host Bury St Edmunds on Saturday (2.30pm). REDINGENSIANS: Foxley, Rossiter, Bryant, Souter, Corrigan, Atkins, Illingworth, Marris, Henderson, Steadman, Hoy, Thompson, Taylor, Vooght (c), Crame. Reps: Baker, McDonnell-Roberts, Nightingale, Amor, Lloyd.

NATIONAL LEAGUE 3 SOUTH WEST

Bracknell make a point with win Dings Crusaders 16 Bracknell 17 PECELI NACAMAVUTO scored Bracknell’s only try and they came from behind to edge out title-chasing Dings Crusaders. Daniel ap Dafydd’s men have begun to find their feet after a slow start in National League 3 South West with this their third win on the bounce. Chris Laidler got the ball rolling with an early successful penalty to break the deadlock but the hosts responded with two kicks of their own from Steve Plummer to take the lead. Solid defence and carries from the likes of Lachy

Valentine, James Ingle, Kim Plant and Daniel Carpo kept Dings at bay before tempers flared with no less than three yellow cards handed out following a scuffle. Another Laidler penalty levelled the contest at 6-6 going into the break. Dings started the second period well, but it was Bracknell who would soon cross the whitewash. Nacamavuto (pictured) intercepted an attack from the hosts and charged a full 60 metres to dab down in the corner. A close-range Dings score under the posts, which

was converted, put the hosts 13-11 ahead, only for Laidler to quickly swing the balance again and give his side a slender 14-13 advantage. But back came Dings and, with 15 minutes remaining, fly half Mark Woodrow lined up a drop goal to put the second placed side back in front. The Stags were handed the chance for a quick response, but the odds looked long on Laidler making a kick from around the halfway line. However, he was up to the task and smashed the ball between the posts.

The win was not seen out without some drama as Dings missed two late penalty kicks of their own, but Bracknell ground out victory to stay ninth. They host Hornets on Saturday at Lily Hill Park (2.15pm). BRACKNELL: Williams, Miranda, Mirza, Goodison, Plant, Valentine, Carpo, Ingle (c), Franklin, Laidler, Bayliss, Nacamavuto, Sanderson, Burch, Slade. Reps: Challenor, Hadad, Yates.

n CROWTHORNE’S threegame unbeaten run came to an end at the hands of Swindon College Old Boys. Swindon sit top of Berks, Bucks and Oxon Premier with 13 wins from 13 and they eased past mid-table Crowthorne 27-12. The Crows take on Chesham on Saturday.

CHAMPIONSHIP

Exiles plans to return to London take a step closer LONDON IRISH’S hopes of a return to the capital have moved a step closer. The Exiles have made no secret of their desire to start playing rugby in London again, having played their home matches at Reading FC’s Madejski Stadium since 2000. Irish have been in talks with Brentford FC over a potential groundshare with the west London club in their new Brentford Community Stadium, which is planned to open for the 2019/20 football season.

And Hounslow Council have now approved proposals to allow the venue to be dual-use for both football and rugby. “The council’s decision is very encouraging news for London Irish,” said Exiles chief executive Bob Casey. “It is a further step towards a return to our roots in London. “The ability for professional rugby to also play at the new Brentford Community Stadium has always been a desire of the football club.

“London Irish share common values and a community ethos with Brenford FC which augurs well for a future commercial relationship. “We now look forward to taking our discussions with Brentford FC to the next stage so that all can look forward to the stadium’s completion and opening by the 2019/20 season.” n Irish’s scheduled game against London Welsh this weekend has been cancelled after Welsh pulled out of the Championship due to financial reasons.

Late strikes give Royals the win

CHAMPIONSHIP

Frustrating point in the snow Reading 0 Barnsley 0

Get in! Roy Beerens watches Danny Williams score in a game that saw Royals come back from 2-1 down to beat Brentford 3-2 at the Madejski Stadium Pictures: Steve Smyth

Reading 3 Brentford 2 By ISAAC FARNWORTH sport@wokinghampaper.co.uk READING scored twice in the last 13 minutes to notch a crucial win against Brentford in a highly entertaining game at Madejski Stadium. Late strikes from Danny Williams and Roy Beerens sealed the victory for the Royals after Brentford had fought back from a goal down to lead 2-1 with 25 minutes remaining. John Swift gave the hosts an early advantage but a quick-fire double from Jota and Lasse Vibe completely swung the contest. But back came Jaap Stam’s charges with Williams and substitute Beerens capping a memorable night in Berkshire. Brentford were the first to threaten when forward Sergi Canos fired wide from 20 yards after cutting in from the left. Lewis Grabban then put the ball in the net for Reading but was judged to have collected Tyler Blackett’s through ball in an offside position. Shortly after Jordon Mutch went close for the Royals following a swift counter-attacking move which saw the Crystal Palace loanee force an impressive save from Bees keeper Daniel Bentley. Garath McCleary also took aim from range as Reading dominated early on but the Jamaican’s driven shot was off target on his weaker left foot. Reading were rewarded for their dominance in the 22nd minute when Liam Kelly set McCleary off down the right with a neat pass and the forward’s cross was turned onto the post by Brentford defender Maxime Colin. However, Royals playmaker Swift was first to react and struck in the opener for his eighth goal of the season. The Royals almost doubled their lead immediately when Liam Moore met McCleary’s inviting delivery but the defender headed just over

Clockwise from left: Chris Gunter gets physical, Jordon Mutch heads away, John Swift celebrates, Garath McCleary breaks clear

the bar. Grabban, in search of his first goal for the club, missed a great opportunity when he fluffed his kick and let the ball go through his legs from McCleary’s low driven cross. Down the other end multiple blocks from Moore were required to keep Vibe from equalising for the Bees. Chances then followed in quick succession for the away side with Canos shooting wide and Vibe having yet another effort blocked before Yennaris was denied by a fantastic stop from Royals keeper Al-Habsi when he seemed destined to score. A glancing header from Vibe flashed narrowly wide as the first period drew to a close with the hosts struggling to keep possession and the Royals could count themselves fortunate to go in at the break with their lead still intact. Play resumed in the second half in a similar vein with Brentford

on top with Canos cutting in and hitting the side netting from the edge of the box. Reading threatened with free kicks prompting Bentley to punch clear from McCleary’s in swinging cross before Royals left back Jordan Obita drilled in a set piece into a crowd of players but the Bees keeper made no mistake with the catch. Brentford continued to come forward in numbers with Yennaris volleying first time but Blackett managed to come across and deflect the effort out for a corner. The constant Bees pressure soon paid off when Brentford sub Florian Jozefzoon carried the ball 40 yards before cutting it back to Jota who slammed home from 10 yards on 63 minutes. Just three minutes later, goalscorer Jota played Vibe through down the right and Vibe’s shot deflected off Royals defender Chris

Gunter and into the net to put Brentford in front and spark the away fans behind the goal into a frenzy. Stam reacted quickly making a triple substitution and there was to be a grandstand finish as McCleary received the ball from newly introduced Yann Kermorgant and he got away down the right to provide a pin point cross for Williams to sweep in from close range with 13 minutes remaining. Suddenly the momentum changed on 81 minutes as goalkeeper Dan Bentley came charging out of his area to clear a loose ball but could only pass it straight to the chasing Kermorgant, who took aim towards goal and another Reading sub Beerens was there to turn it goalbound and turn the game on its head. Brentford desperately searched for an immediate equaliser and they almost found one when Jozefzoon was played through on goal. The winger’s shot was initially saved by Al-Habsi but the Brentford player got to the rebound and fired it hard across the face of the goal and the ball just snuck by the far post and out for a goal kick. The Bees continued to search for a equaliser until the death and five minutes added on time made for a nervy end but Reading held on to take all three points.

JAAP STAM cut a frustrated figure for the second week in a row as his Reading side could only manage a goalless draw against a resolute Barnsley, writes Isaac Farnworth. The Royals boss admitted his disappointment at the result, but accepted that the visitors defended well. Reading would have to settle for only a point on a chilly afternoon at Madejski Stadium as neither side could find the quality required to produce a winner. Barnsley had a shot come back off the post in the second half while Reading had attempts blocked from close range from Liam Kelly and Roy Beerens. Consecutive draws see Reading drop to fourth in the Championship table after Huddersfield Town held on to win away at QPR. The state of the pitch was a recurring cause for concern come the final whistle amongst the Reading players and the manager. “I don’t want to use it always as an excuse but if you look at the pitch and how it is, the state of it and how you need to play and how you want to play, it makes it very difficult to play your own game,” said Stam. “To create chances, which we did, and we could have scored goals, that (pitch) doesn’t make it easier. “Second half we did better, in terms of movement, the runs in behind, in between, passing the ball. “You deserve a bit more if you look at the chances. (We) had one or two more chances than them and a lot more possession.” It was Reading who applied the pressure early with Yann Kermorgant firing over the bar when the ball broke to the French forward following Kelly’s corner. Shortly after, Kelly went close from 20 yards and the young Irishman also had a shot blocked from close range. Marley Watkins posed a serious threat down the right for the Tykes and it was he who squandered the best chance of the first half when he was played through on goal by a swift counter attack after a Reading corner routine didn’t find its target, but his shot was tame under pressure from Royals left-back Tyler Blackett. As the first period drew to a close, both sides fought to produce some quality to move in front but neither a leaping Kermorgant header for Reading or off target effort from Tom Bradshaw could prevent the scoreline remaining goalless. Reading began brightly in the second half as they forced a corner straight from the restart but Kermorgant again headed over. Barnsley’s Bradshaw saw a stunning 25-yard looping volley land on the roof of Ali Al-Habsi’s net before Kermorgant’s thunderous shot was smartly saved by Tykes keeper Davies. Barnsley were inches away from taking the lead when Watkins’ poked effort came back off the post but the Reading defence were able to clear the rebound away. It was then Reading’s turn to go close when McCleary’s cross was scuffed by Danny Williams and the ball fell to Beerens but a superb block by Tykes defender Jones stopped a goal. Barnsley survived the wave of Reading attacks and penalty appeals including a Williams shot that was tipped over the bar late on and held on to frustrate the Royals and make sure that the points were shared.

FOOTBALL

Sumas end on top in fierce ba Wokingham and Emmbrook 3 Finchampstead 2 By TOM CROCKER tcrocker@wokinghampaper.co.uk

YOUTH FOOTBALL

Teens move step closer to Wembley A TEAM of U13 girls from a Woodley school will represent Reading Football Club in a regional tournament next month after beating their rivals in a fiercely fought competition. After a sticky start finishing sixth in the first round of games, the girls team from Waingels College fought back in the knock-out stages of the EFL Girls Cup tournament on January 13 to secure their place in the next round. The team faced Coventry City in

the quarter-finals, before moving past Wycombe Wanderers in the semis and seeing off Portsmouth in the South Area 2 final, landing them a spot in the regional final alongside Bristol City (Gordano School), Brentford (Waldegrave School) and Luton Town (Queensbury Academy) at Swindon Town FC on March 1. The victorious team from the South Regional Final will go up against the winner from the North Regional Final at Wembley on April 2.

UNDER 11s

Wokingham thrash Swindon 8-0

HARVEY GOODE fired in four goals as Wokingham District Under-11s thrashed Swindon 8-0. Goode started and finished the scoring, netting another two in between, with Ben Harris (2), Scott Morgan and Max Smith also getting their names on the score sheet. Although Wokingham only travelled with a squad of nine and no substitutes, they were expected to see off bottom-of-the-league Swindon and so it proved. Goode’s long-range effort into the top corner broke the deadlock before Harris quickly made it 2-0 with a low shot. The visitors were dominating possession and made it count with

a third before the break. Despite a string of brilliant saves from the Swindon stopper, Harris notched his second following a goalmouth scramble. Goode matched Harris soon after the restart before teeing up Morgan for 5-0. Brandon Kingsbury was causing problems and smashed an effort off the crossbar before another one of his efforts was followed in by Goode for his hat-trick. Kingsbury was involved again for the seventh goal, being fouled for a penalty which Smith tucked away, and a wonderful Goode strike wrapped up a dominant win.

COMBINED COUNTIES

Boar draw ends losing run Eversley and California 2 Chessington and Hook United 2 EVERSLEY ended a run of two straight defeats with a draw against high-flying Chessington and Hook. The Boars, who sit sixth in Combined Counties Division One, welcomed a side still hoping to muscle their way in on the title race

and got off to a nightmare start as goalkeeper Lewis Robson was forced off through injury. But Eversley rallied, twice coming from behind to draw including a goal deep into second half stoppage time with Ben Hutchings and Manny Obodo on the score sheet. EVERSLEY: Robson, Allston, Brown, B. Hutchings, S. Hutchings, Lusty, Miller, Obodo, Osler, Rose, Smith. Subs: Exton, Maslen, White.

WOKINGHAM AND EMMBROOK ended a wait of over two months for victory with a thrilling 3-2 win over neighbours Finchampstead. Sumas finally got out onto the pitch for the first time in 2017 following a string of postponements and picked up maximum points having lost three and drawn one since their last victory way back in November. Matt Booth gave the hosts the lead before Ben Broadhurst doubled the tally. A Jake Bailey own goal after the restart gave Finches hope, but Sam Lawrence’s free-kick put the Sumas back in control. Richard Thomas pulled a goal back with the last kick of the game, but the day belonged very much to Wokingham. Finches made just one change from their hard fought win over Bicester Town the previous weekend as Matt Wright returned in place of the unavailable Kylo Atkinson. The visitors started well with Jon Malone forcing goalkeeper Sean Woodward into a good save. But Sumas shook off any early rust and began to put their stamp on the contest. They took the lead on 19 minutes when a brilliant 40-yard run by Elliott Rushforth led to the forward teeing up Booth, who beat Neil Griffith in the away goal. Chace Jewell tried his luck for an immediate equaliser, but Woodward was equal to the task. And Sumas moved 2-0 ahead before the break when Broadhurst followed in a saved effort to tuck the ball in on the half hour mark. Finches captain Adam Barnard was the first man to test Woodward after the restart before the game was put back in the balance when Bailey inadvertently

turned the ball into his own net just two minutes into the second period. Rushforth came close to restoring the two-goal cushion almost instantly, but his effort cannoned back off the post. But Clive McNelly’s men did grab the next goal in some style on 68 minutes when Lawrence brilliantly curled a freekick into the corner. Freddie Barron had a shot saved as Finchampstead tried to set up a grandstand finish and by the time Thomas headed in, there was no time to go in search of an equaliser. Sumas climb up to 11th in Hellenic

Division One East with this win while Jon Laugharne’s Finches stay in fourth. McNelly’s men switch their focus to the Reading Senior Cup now as they host Woodley United on Saturday (2pm) while Finch also have a local derby with a league trip to Sandhurst Town (3pm). SUMAS: Woodward, Carter, Goddard, Duffelen, Day (c), Bailey, Gibbs, Lawrence, Booth, Rushforth, Broadhurst. Subs: Wheeler, Skidmore, Best. FINCHAMPSTEAD: Griffith, M. Wright, Dunn, Green, Thomas, Barnard (c), Barron, Malone, Swabey, Blatchford, Jewell. Sub: Winship. Attendance: 96

ROUND-UP

Powell hits the net eight times DAVID POWELL scored an astonishing eight goals as Finchampstead Reserves moved top of Thames Valley Division Two with an 11-2 win over Goring United. Powell dominated throughout, breaking the deadlock after just eight minutes and he wrapped up his hat-trick before half-time. But the second half was even better as Powell incredibly notched five in a 29-minute spell to cap an outstanding personal display. James Payne, Jason Baverstock and Nick Payne also scored in the rout, but the day belonged very much to Powell. In the same league, a Jake Shelley brace helped BARKHAM ATHLETIC to a 2-2 draw at WARGRAVE. Ben Carter and Michael Few scored for the hosts as the two top half sides shared the spoils. HURST still have just three points at the bottom of the Premier Division after losing 4-0 to Unity with Prince

Massaquoi helping himself to a brace. WOODLEY UNITED RESERVES slipped to 10th after losing 2-0 to leaders Reading YMCA with Ashley Searle scoring twice. In Division 3, BERKS COUNTY RESERVES incredibly matched the feat of Finchampstead Reserves by also winning 11-2. WOODLEY UNITED A were the unfortunate victims as Jack Kennedy (2), George Lloyd (3), Oliver Lawson (3), Sam Clark and Connor Banks (2) ran riot for the hosts. Consolation strikes came from Asa Povey and Ryan Tye while Lewis Doe and Alex Ray were both sent off. Ashley Lamb’s hat-trick came in vain as HURST RESERVES lost 4-3 at home to Rotherfield United Reserves while in Division 4, Jack Fowler’s strike could not prevent HARCHESTER HAWKS RESERVES from losing 2-1 at Taplow United A.

TWYFORD AND RUSCOMBE completed a remarkable late comeback to beat BERKS COUNTY ROVERS 4-2 in the BTC Junior Cup. Richard Cumner and Christopher Searle scored for Berks but three goals in the last five minutes from Sean Kelly, who also scored in the first half, Richard White and Anthony Smith completed a memorable victory. HURST A are also through to the next round after a 3-1 win at WARGRAVE RESERVES thanks to goals from Blake Brown-Koroma, Ryan Hawley and Christopher McLean cancelling out Adam Hawkins’ strike. WOODLEY UNITED B are out after extra time defeat to South Reading. Martin King’s goal for Woodley forced the additional 30 minutes after Brett Rann had broken the deadlock. But strikes in the extra period from Liam Goddard and Rann earned Reading a 3-1 win.

BERKS & BUCKS SENIOR TROPHY

ttle against Finch Six appeal gives Moles a final Newport Pagnell Town 3 Binfield 6

Danny Blatchford is brought down during the local derby between Sumas (orange) and Finchampstead Picture: Steve Smyth

“SOMETIMES when you don’t expect a lot, you get the opposite.” That was the reaction of Binfield boss Roger Herridge as his side surprised many by thumping six past Newport Pagnell Town to set up a Berks and Bucks Senior Trophy final against rivals Bracknell Town. Herridge had previously played down the Moles chances of toppling Newport, a side who will compete in the quarterfinals of the illustrious FA Vase this weekend. But despite missing key players Mo Nyamunga, Jon Bennett, Gary Smith and Harrison Bayley (all cup-tied), Binfield stormed to victory with goals from Liam Ferdinand (2), Luke Hayden, Sean Moore, James Knight and Grant Kemp. “We were just brilliant from start to finish really,” Herridge told The Wokingham Paper. “We lost the spine of our side but we started very, very well and just got better as the game went on. “In the first half there was only one team in it and we were good value for our 2-0 half-time lead and probably should’ve been further ahead. “They’ve got a big Vase quarter-final this Saturday but this is a game they wanted to win. If you’d heard their manager in the changing room pre-game and at half-time and full-time, that was a competition they saw a great chance of silverware in and they’ll be disappointed to be out. He continued: “It was one of those days where everything went right for us.

MATCH PREVIEW

Woodley out for revenge MICHAEL HERBERT says his Woodley United side have revenge on the mind as they prepare to face Wokingham and Emmbrook on Saturday. The Kestrels go into this weekend’s Reading Senior Cup clash on the back of a brilliant week of results which saw them progress in two cup competitions and earn a valuable point in the Hellenic One East title race. The run began on Wednesday night with a 2-1 win over Royal Wootton Bassett Town in the Floodlit Cup before seeing off Risborough Rangers on penalties on Saturday to book their place in the Berks and Bucks Intermediate Cup final. And a stoppage time Jake Nicholls equaliser earned Woodley a point against second placed Headington Amateurs in Monday night’s league clash. The league takes a back seat again now with United taking on Wokingham next, one of the few sides to have beaten them this season. “It’s another big cup game and another local derby,” Herbert told The Wokingham Paper. “It’s got a bit more on it because they beat us 4-3 in the game before and we were disappointed because we felt we were the better side that day. We defended poorly. “We’ve got a bit of a point to prove against this lot. We’re really looking forward to it and we can’t wait to get there on Saturday and show them that last time was a blip.” For many sides, being handed a tricky schedule of three difficult games in the space of three days would cause some frustration.

But Herbert insists he never looked at it like that. “We look at it as a challenge and that’s what we’re here to do,” he said. “We want to challenge ourselves as much as we can and we want to play against the best teams possible and see where we’re at. “I think we’ve got a very good team. We’re obviously brand new and we just want to see where we’re at. “The challenge was good for us and the boys did brilliantly. “To be unbeaten was the aim and to do that was fantastic - especially playing opposition in the league above in one of the games and then a tough semi-final. “We are really happy with the outcome.” After playing the Sumas on Saturday, Woodley go back to the Floodlit Cup with another game against Premier opposition in Lydney Town on Tuesday night. And while Herbert admits they are currently a bit of an unknown quantity, he has full belief his side can be competitive. “I don’t know too much about them,” admitted the manager. “We’ll try and find out a little bit about them before that game. It’s good for us. “The games keep coming thick and fast and that’s what we want. “We’ve got a really good squad and it enable us to use that squad and we’re really excited. “We’ve gone to Wootton Bassett and got a good result so we’re more than confident we’ll be able to match Lydney.”

“We worked really, really hard and I told them before the game that we needed everybody to be a 9 out of 10 and we certainly got that and probably a 10 out of 10 from three or four players. “If you perform like that, you’ve always got a chance. “I think the majority of people would have probably written us off before we got there. “Sometimes when you don’t expect a lot, you get the opposite.” Binfield wasted little time in taking the lead as Moore fired in with just two minutes on the clock. That lead was doubled shortly before the restart thanks to talisman Ferdinand. And when Kemp added a third five minutes after the restart, it appeared to be plain sailing. But Newport quickly pulled one back, only for the Moles to go straight down the other end and make it 4-1 thanks to Knight. The hosts would not give in and scored twice either side of substitute Hayden’s goal to keep their chances alive at 5-3. However, Ferdinand was on hand again on 82 minutes to tuck home his 30th goal of the season and seal victory. Focus now turns to a big league double-header for Binfield with a home clash against Royal Wootton Bassett on Saturday before the cup final warm-up against Bracknell on Monday night.

“It’s a squad game and I’ve got some decisions to make,” said Herridge. “But I’d rather have tough decisions like that than some of the ones I had during that period when we were on a bad run in October, I had the opposite ones then. “We certainly want to finish a few places above from where we are at the moment (8th) so that’s an important three points for us against Wootton Bassett. “I watched them play last Wednesday against Woodley, so I know what we’re going to face.” He added: “We’re looking to get three points on Saturday, have a rest of Sunday and try and find a way of stopping Bracknell Town on Monday night. “I suppose you can call it a dress rehearsal for the County Cup. “Bracknell Town are a very good side and the reason they’re near the top of the league is not a coincidence. “We’ve had two close games with them already this year, we’ve lost both of them so we need to find a solution to that. “We won’t be turning up just to make the numbers up that’s for sure. Our plan on Monday is to make it as uncomfortable a night as possible for them. “We’ll see what happens, but it’s a game we’re looking forward to.” BINFIELD: Vaughan, White, Luis, A. Walton, Brown, Broome, Dean (Whyte 86), Knight, Kemp (Davies 85), Moore (Hayden 45), Ferdinand.
