Claire x

elcome to our June Issue and what a busy time we have had preparing this bumper issue for you! Firstly, I would like to introduce some new members of our team. Our new Editor is John Schwarz, whose recent retirement from his teaching career has not only enabled his Border Collie to become the most exercised dog in Bourne, but has given John the chance to help correct my minor errors and add a few features of his own. I hope you enjoy his sense of humour! Jilly Lunn is our new lady in Sales and Hilary Bloomer joins us as Events Co-ordinator. Bourne has a new Mayor, Bob Russell, and I had the great pleasure of meeting him on May 13th when he was presented with his chain of office. I would like to wish him every success in his new role and you can read his first article inside. In this issue we have some exciting competitions for you:

• Win £150 CASH in our Treasure Hunt, details in a special pull-out, centre section, for which special thanks

go to Bourne Academy for designing the front cover, The Larkfleet Group who sponsored the pages and

Fovia for printing the treasure.• Win a MEAL FOR TWO at Smiths in our special

Father’s Day Quiz. • And, during the months of June and July, when you shop in selected outlets in Bourne (minimum spend

applies) you will be given the chance to participate in the Summer Prize Draw; the lucky winner will receive a weekend break for a family of four to Barnsdale Hall Hotel, with great prizes for second and third place too. - All the more reason to shop in Bourne this summer

and support your local businesses. Read about “Pic n Pay” who have changed their name to “Perfect for the Home” and moved premises. Good luck Sue and Dave. Also, Eckfords celebrate 24 years in business in Bourne. Congratulations to you. Sergeant Rick Mosley will be writing for us each month on Police Matters and you can read his interview on page 32. We have lots of events happening in Bourne this month. Posters will soon be festooning the shop windows in the town for our Summer Carnival on Sunday 29th June in the Town Centre. Please come and support this event which promises to be a fantastic family day out (more details inside.) Huge thanks to you, our readers and advertisers for your continued kind words and support. Finally, Happy Father’s Day to my Dad and my husband, who are both amazing people.

“PIC ‘N’ PAY” ON THE MOVEPopular furniture store now in larger premises and

re-emerging as “Perfect for the Home”

Ten years on from moving into Bourne, “Pic ‘N’ Pay”, the very popular furniture store on Victor Way, will, from the beginning of June, be trading as “Perfect for the Home” from new, larger premises on Cherry Holt Road (opposite Branch Bros.) Sue Rock, who, with her husband Dave, is the driving force behind this exciting venture, looks forward to being able to offer an even better service to the public of Bourne and neighbouring area. She looks back on the time when just “flat-pack” furniture and catalogue returns were the order of the day. Having established a sound reputation for excellent customer relations and very competitive prices in what is a very cut-throat industry, Sue is keen to stress that the move is entirely one of “moving more up-market”. Her customer base is very strong and she is happy to be operating in this relatively affluent

area of the country. By being able to offer a larger range of products in larger premises, Sue is moving on with confidence. Besides stocking a wide range of all types of bedroom, dining room and lounge furniture and accessories, including rugs, mirrors and cushions, she is also proud to be offering high quality bespoke furniture, produced locally to order, to fit the customer’s specifications. “Perfect for the Home” may be a new name on Bourne’s retail landscape but their reputation for “good quality furniture at very competitive prices and a very friendly helpful staff”, developed by Sue, Dave and the team of three employees, will ensure that the future looks very bright.

Pay them a visit to see if Sue and the team can indeed prove to be “Perfect for your Home”!

ECKFORDS PROPERTY SCENE

wo and a half decades later, the internet has entered almost every aspect of our lives, the “Chunnel” has opened up the continent like never before, and ECKFORDS PROPERTY SCENE continues to occupy a prominent position, not just with its 1 Market Place address, but also as a key player in the Bourne and district residential and commercial property sales and rental industry. With a total of 6 employees, (3 full-time and 3 part-time), Eckfords can draw on a vast wealth of experience in valuing and selling houses. Furthermore, there is an impressive property letting and management section, centred on Bourne, but covering a wide area of South Lincolnshire, within a radius of approximately 10 miles. “The internet is now a fundamental part of the way in which houses are sold,” Rex says, adding how his recent sale of a property in the Lake District is evidence of how things have moved on, with time. Nevertheless, he is convinced that “the personal touch is always going to be vital, with the customer seeking and getting unbiased, professional advice” on a face to face basis. “The current property market is busy, both residentially and commercially”, he adds, “and what happens in Bourne is a good barometer as to what happens throughout the country”, regarding residential and commercial markets.

When asked what makes Bourne so special, Rex cites the attractive leafy entrance routes from north, south, east and west, with their imposing, well-maintained properties and gardens. “Oh yes,” he adds, “and the free parking!”

So, whilst 24 years may have passed since Eckfords appeared in Bourne (and that typical “three bed semi” has gone from £8,000 to over £150,000!) Rex is confident for the future, where his regular clients return, time after time, for sound professional advice and that friendly, personal touch.

1990 – The year in which the first internet web page was written, the year when English and French tunnelling engineers shook hands beneath the English Channel, and the year when husband and wife, Rex and Angela Eckford, established their independent estate agency in Bourne, having already spent fifteen years with a rival firm in the town.

T24 years young!

|Consumer Advice

WHO IS KNOCKING ON MY DOOR?Dear readers, does it worry you when a stranger comes to your door? A national Trading Standards Institute survey involving feedback from 9,000 randomly selected households showed that nationally 96% of people simply did not want doorstep cold callers, and none of those surveyed actually welcomed them. ‘Cold calling’ is when someone calls at your home without a prior invitation. It is normally carried out by traders or sales people trying to sell a product or service. Other organisations which cold call on the doorstep include charities, religious groups and political parties at election time. Cold calling is not illegal. Some people are happy to receive such callers; however, some find cold calling to be annoying, unacceptable and an invasion of their privacy. In addition, cold calling is also a known method used by rogue traders, bogus workmen, high-pressure sales people, and bogus officials whose aim is to con householders out of their hard earned money. There is a proven link between instances of cold calling and instances of burglary, particularly distraction burglary. A seemingly innocent doorstep caller may actually be checking things out for a return visit at a later date to carry out a burglary or they may be distracting the householder, while an accomplice enters their premises to steal. No one should feel ashamed if they become a victim. Research shows that older people are particularly vulnerable, especially those living alone. The number of serious doorstep crime incidents reported to both the police and trading standards services has grown significantly over the past few years. Incidents involving older people losing thousands of pounds are now not unusual, but even a crime costing its victim just a few pounds can have a profound effect on that person’s life and health because they feel that the security and safety of their home has been invaded.What you can do?Keep an eye open for suspicious activity in your neighbourhood. If you do see obvious cold callers in your street, you can choose not to answer the door if they call. If you feel that they may be suspicious, please report it by calling 101 so that the police can come out and check their details. In an emergency, where you believe that there is a risk to public safety or an actual fraud is taking place, please dial 999.

Ambitious husband and wife team, Sunny and Narinder Singh see their arrival in Abbey Road, Bourne as a natural progression in an area they love and one which they think will provide top quality food for the people of Bourne and surrounding villages – at a fair price.

Opening their “plaice” on May 7th, after a complete refurbishment of the existing premises, Narinder talks keenly of how this becomes their third outlet, having already established themselves in Lincoln and Sleaford.

Seventeen years of experience and “Quality Award” success in the trade have enabled the pair to create a very strong reputation. They feel they can bring to Bourne a consistently good product, coupled with friendly, efficient service, where seven part-time staff share the Singh’s enthusiasm.

The fish, all from fully sustainable stocks, is always cooked to order and the secret recipe that creates that delicious light, crispy batter will have you returning for more. Quality, locally sourced Lincolnshire potatoes make the feast complete.

There is a wide menu which includes kebabs, pies, sausages and a range of burgers, where vegetarians can find something tasty too. Lunchtime “specials” look to be a serious attraction and not just available to seniors either. Two healthy and very tasty meals for around a fiver makes a lot of sense! Why not go to Sunny’s Plaice on Facebook, add your “like” and be entered for the draw to win a year’s fish and chips?

A group of Bourne parents are calling on the local community to sign a petition to improve out of date equipment and uneven flooring at the Wellhead play area. The petition runs until 13th June 2014 and already has over 600 signatures, but 2500 signatures are needed if the petition is to be presented to the South Kesteven District Council scrutiny committee. You can lend your support by signing the petition at local businesses including Warners, Rollaway, Harpers Leisure Centre, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Tesco Extra, Wake House, Markey’s, Quentin Marks, Café 35, Select & Save, The End and Fovia or look out for the petition team at the Bourne Festival, 30th – 31st May.

Bourne2Play, the community group organising the petition, is also fundraising to make the Wellhead play area a facility the whole community can enjoy. Anna Rogers, chairperson for Bourne2Play, said: “The Wellhead is a beautiful park, but the play area lets it down. We can only go so far modernising the park with council money, we need local businesses and individuals to get behind us to make the Wellhead play area really great again.” Bourne2Play are working in partnership with the SKDC, Bourne Town Council and Bourne United Charities and are now looking at initial designs for the park.

Time for improvements to Wellhead play area?

ED’S EXCITING ECUADOR

ADVENTUREMeet fifteen year old Ed Schwarz, a Bourne Grammar School student who is set to undertake the challenge of a lifetime. For a month in the summer of 2015, Ed will be part of a group travelling to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, off the South American coast. He will be busy taking part in a range of local community and charity projects, such as helping to build new facilities, teaching young children and participating in wildlife support. As part of the challenge, the fund-raising, in excess of £4,000, is put into the hands of the students and, to that end, Ed has been launching himself into it with enthusiasm. He has distributed over 300 fliers to businesses and also to homes in his Mill Drove neighbourhood. He is offering his services in return for contributions to help finance the trip and these include grass cutting, fence painting, baby-sitting, dog walking and car washing.If you think you, or someone you know, might be able to offer Ed any assistance, however small, to help finance this fantastic opportunity, then please contact him on 01778 426094.


Yet another medal for Jade! Paralympic Star Says Thank You to Crown Jewellers

Record-breaking Bourne girl, Jade Etherington, was recently presented with a beautiful hand-crafted pendant from Crown Jewellers to commemorate her wonderful achievements on the snow in Sochi, earlier this year. She writes : “I feel honoured to receive this very thoughtful pendant from Crown Jewellers in Bourne. The customer service from Matt Powell, who helped design and make the pendant, and the rest of the Crown Jewellers team was very friendly and I will definitely be returning. I now have a nice token to wear every day, which is sophisticated, simple and goes

with everything I wear, including my G.B. tracksuit. It is beautiful to have something which signifies my achievements and is a lot lighter to carry around!”

Opening on Monday 2nd June, Little Bees is an independent group for new, expectant and existing parents, carers and guardians. Run in partnership with Busy Bees Nursery at their premises in Manor Lane, Bourne, the aim of Little Bees is to follow in the footsteps of its highly successful predecessor, Bambinos, in providing a support network for local families and fun activities, arts and crafts and free play for babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers and their carers. All of this is in a fantastic family friendly environment, where breast and bottle feeding are welcome.

Run by a team of local parent volunteers, we understand that things can sometimes get a bit tough and people don’t always know where to turn to for help. At Little Bees we offer and signpost support, we are (a few) pairs of (non-judgemental) ears to talk to, and we are simply somewhere to come along and meet new friends over a cuppa and a cake, while your children play, on a Monday or Friday morning between 10am and 12.30pm.

Throughout the year, Little Bees will be hosting a range of guest speakers and demonstrations on subjects relevant to our members, such as weaning, reusable nappies, baby slings, baby massage and yoga. Visit our website (www.littlebeesbourne.co.uk), follow us on twitter (@bees_little) or like our facebook page (www.facebook.com/littlebeesbourne) to keep up to date with our plans.

Pop in and say hello. We look forward to meeting you and your little ones soon.

Helen, Donna, Gillian, Jade, Katie and Ruth

Little Bees

Nine intrepid men and women from Bourne have seized the gauntlet and cycled the 320 mile from London to Paris May 2 - 6. The nine aged between 16 and 60 (ish) have been raising money for Lincs/Notts Air ambulance and have so far raised over £2000. It took four gruelling days cycling 80 miles a day. All had been in serious training for months. The most hardy braving the fierce winds and rains of winter to clock up the training miles. Luckily the weather was kind to them on the actual event. They cycled the official Avenue Verte route in glorious sunshine with no wind. All survived intact with only a few minor injuries and they are now avidly planning the next adventure. If you would like to sponsor them the just giving page at https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/sweetsensations is still collecting donations. All gratefully received!!

Marks & Spencer top the medal chart with 138 gongs: six Golds, 50 Silver medals and 82 Bronze medals for its wine range, continuing its 2013 success (when it was named IWC Supermarket of the Year). Two Spanish Sherries created for M&S were awarded Gold medals. Both the Marks and Spencer Manzanilla and Dry Old Palo Cortado cost less than £8. Marks & Spencer Champagne Charles Orban Blanc de Noirs (£30) also received a Gold medal. Sainsbury’s and Waitrose were both awarded four Gold medals, and delighting the judges with their great value bubbly. Sainsbury’s 2013 Taste the Difference Conegliano Prosecco Superiore Brut (£9.99) and Waitrose Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne (£19.99) both received Gold medals. Waitrose proved to be Champagne champion, with three Gold medal Champagnes, the Waitrose Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne, the Blanc de Noirs Brut (£21.99) and the 2004 Brut Special Reserve (£30.99). Sainsbury’s received 17 Silver and 38 Bronze, while Waitrose was awarded 7 Silver and 11 Bronze. Morrisons and Tesco received three Gold medals each.

Morrisons showed star quality with its Fortified and Sweet wines. Its own-brand Sherries, Morrisons Amontillado Sherry (£5.49) and Morrisons Signature Pedro Ximénez NV (£5.99) both received Gold medals. The supermarket also struck Gold with its sweet Morrisons Signature Alsace Gewürztraminer 2012 (£7.99). Morrisons also picked up 7 Silver medals and 21

Bronzes. Aldi produced the most reasonable Gold medal winner of the whole competition, receiving a Gold medal for its Aldi Caversham Cream Sherry, which retails at only £5.25.

To prepare1 Preheat your oven to 200ºC & light your BBQ

2 Slice the lemon grass sticks in half lengthways and bash them in a large pestle and mortar with the ginger, garlic and lime leaves. Add the cumin and the lemon zest and juice and rub it all over the lamb with salt & pepper to taste.

3 Place the lamb in a roasting tray and cover tightly with a double layer of kitchen foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes then take the lamb out of the roasting tray and drop it on the preheated BBQ. Move it around the grill to stop it burning.

How to reduce desk-related aches and pains

Many day to day aches & pains can be attributed to an ill-fitting ‘workstation’. We spend more hours than ever before behind various screens and yet we rarely take time to adjust our work surroundings. We wouldn’t start driving a car without first adjusting the seat and mirrors so why don’t we take the same approach when we sit at our desk?Tip 1 - Get ready for the day:Take a moment to think about your work posture and workstation layout. It will take less than a minute – which is nothing compared to the hours you’ll spend sat there. Use a post-it note to remind yourself each day.Tip 2 – Check your posture:• Does the chair’s lumbar support fit the curve of your back? If not, consider an additional ‘clip in’ lumbar support or try a rolled up towel placed into the small of your back. These can really prevent you slouching.• Adjust your chair and screen height so that the top of your screen is level with your eyes.• Make sure your feet can be placed flat on the floor. If not, get a footrest.• If your chair has arms, adjust their height so

that your elbows and forearms rest upon them lightly. (arm-rests too high will mean your shoulders will tend to hunch upwards and if set too low, the tendency is to slouch which will ruin that all important posture).Tip 3 – Organise your desk:• COMPUTER SCREEN - Should be directly in front with no need to twist your body or neck to look at it.• KEYBOARD - Should be directly in front of you and far enough away to allow most of your forearms onto the desk too.MOUSE - Should be in easy reach. Keep frequently used items nearby to avoid repetitive overreaching.• TELEPHONE - Should be positioned on the same side as your dominant hand to avoid over reaching. If you use a handset regularly, consider a hands-free kit and never clutch the phone between your ear and shoulder!Tip 4 – Give yourself a screen break!Try and drag yourself away from the screen for at least 5 minutes each hour. Find an activity (Photocopying / filing) that gets you onto your feet and moving about.Tip 5 – MotionIf you can’t get out-and-about, then try simple stretches whilst sat at your desk. Stretching is a low impact method of exercise which increases blood flow, flexibility, tone and your general performance – it will increase both physical and mental productivity and reduce those desk related aches and pains.

The effects of an enlarged prostate gland (BPH)can be miserable. The enlarged prostate presses on the urethra tube (the tube that empties urine from the bladder) causing reduced urinary flow, a constant urge to pee, post urinary dribbling and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Such symptoms are often worse at night, interrupting much needed sleep and leaving sufferers feeling exhausted.

Scientific studies show stinging nettle root, which is widely used in Europe, to be comparable to drugs such as Finasteride in relieving such symptoms and slowing the growth of certain prostate cells.

A herbalist will make up a personal prescription of herbs, taking into account your personal symptoms and other health concerns, that will not only relieve the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, but will also support the body to restore depleted energy. Herbal medicine, is safe and has no side effects. Before embarking on treatment with herbal medicine your GP should rule out prostate cancer.

REIKI COMING TO STILLWATERS

eiki” is Japanese for "universal life energy", and is also a word used to describe a system of natural healing. We live in a world of energy that nourishes and maintains all living things. When this energy flows in an uninterrupted way, there is balance and harmony within and around us, and we experience a sense of well being. However, when we have a disruption in the energy flow, we can start feeling a little "under the weather". The relaxing nature of Reiki can be very helpful to people, especially at difficult times in our lives. We can all feel overwhelmed or disconnected; sometimes there is a real sense of isolation, both emotionally and spiritually. Reiki treatments can bring feelings of peace and an ability to cope better with the challenges of life. Reiki can be beneficial in circumstances that are short term, but can also support people dealing with long-standing conditions, helping to bring comfort, acceptance and a more positive outlook. What do Reiki Treatments feel

like?Each person experiences Reiki differently, depending on their individual needs at the time. Clients may or may not feel sensations during a Reiki treatment. Benefits reported by recipients include deep relaxation, promoting a calm, peaceful sense of well being on all levels. Some people feel sensations of heat, tingling, or experience seeing colours, whilst others can have an emotional response, indicating that shifts are taking place, allowing harmony to be restored.

Reiki is comforting when life is tough, it can be supportive during pregnancy and can also be calming for children. In some cases, Reiki can be a great comfort and help promote a sense of peace and acceptance for the dying and their families.

So, if you are feeling a little under the weather, having trouble dealing with those difficult times or feeling a little stressed and anxious, try a session of Reiki.

People with hypermobility are particularly supple and able to move their limbs into positions others find impossible. Many people with hypermobile joints do not have any problems or need treatment. However, joint hypermobility can sometimes cause unpleasant symptoms, such as joint and muscles pain. It can be quite unpleasant.

Living with joint hypermobilityJoint hypermobility can be very difficult to live with because it can cause fatigue (extreme tiredness) and long-term pain. It may also take time to receive the correct diagnosis due to the wide range of symptoms that joint hypermobility can cause. However, once diagnosed, joint hypermobility can be treated. Here at Pulse Practice we can help with a proven exercise programme to improve fitness and muscle strength which may also be effective at reducing pain and promote healing.

Causes of joint hypermobilityJoint hypermobility is often hereditary (runs in families). One of the main causes of joint hypermobility is thought to be genetically-determined changes to a type of protein called collagen. This can make ligaments and joints particularly loose and stretchy. As a result, the joints can extend further than usual.

How common is joint hypermobility?It is not clear how many people in the UK have joint hypermobility. There are estimates that up to 3 in 10 people may be affected to some degree. It affects women more than men, possibly because female hormones increase flexibility. Joint hypermobility is common in children. Children with joint hypermobility can bend into unusual positions (often referred to as ‘double-jointed’). I see many people every year with unusual aches and pain in both joints and muscles, which with proper advice and treatment can be eased.

Joint hypermobility |Your health

Joint hypermobility means some or all of a person’s joints have an unusually large range of movement.

|Father’s Day

FATHER’S DAY 15th JUNE But it’s not the only

day we can celebrate

You may already know that this year, Father’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday June 15th. It’s always the third Sunday in the month, ever since the idea was introduced in the USA in 1910. In the UK, we’d long acknowledged Mothering Sunday as the fourth Sunday in Lent, (March 30th this year), so it was only fair that Dads should get their treats as well.

But how many of you are aware of the huge number of celebration days there are in June besides Father’s Day? Read on and see just how quirky we humans can be and how it doesn’t take us too much to be in a celebratory mood and get those corks popping!

• June 2nd – National Rocky Road Day• June 9th – National Donald Duck Day

June 1st - National Dare Day. The time when you can challenge anyone to make a dare, be it a personal thing liking asking her/him out on a date, a challenge for them to achieve something special or just make a fool of themselves.

June 4th - Hug Your Cat Day. If you’re a cat lover, this is why you have your feline friend in the first place, but today’s the day to make more of a fuss than usual.

June 8th - Best Friend Day. For that really special person, here’s the chance to show them just how much you appreciate their friendship – send them a card or a gift!

June 17th - Eat Your Vegetables Day. The ideal opportunity to do as the experts are telling us – now 7 portions of fruit and veg. per day. (Alternatively, June 6th happens to be Doughnut Day!!!)

June 21st - The Summer Solstice. The longest day of the year so make the most of it now before the nights start pulling in – downhill to winter!

June 26th – Forgiveness Day. Alexander Pope wrote, “To err is human, to forgive, divine.” Three hundred years on it’s still true and today’s the day to forgive and be forgiven.

These are just a few of the days which can be celebrated in June, but how could you not raise a glass to the following beauties:

• June 13th – National Blame Someone Else Day• June 22nd – National Chocolate Éclair Day?


“Hi! My name is Ellie, I’m 35, from Stamford with three children, a husband and I work. I’ve had on- going issues with my weight and it’s made me feel pretty awful about myself. Hot and sweaty, out of breath, uncomfortable in clothes and depressed - I avoided people, I was very self- conscious and had zero confidence, although I tried to cover it up by being the life and soul of the party. I joined the gym, which I was terrified about and I actually lost weight, but then Christmas came the old habits came back and the scales went up and up! So I said to myself, “Come on Ellie, enough is enough, let’s get this sorted out properly.” Clearly, I needed help as this was something I knew I couldn’t tackle on my own – I’d tried so many times before. So I made some enquiries! I found Hayley and Freya. They work in a very different way and totally understood where I was coming from. I’ve learnt how my thoughts affect my feelings and I’m learning to handle my thinking differently, which is actually the key to managing my weight. I chose to lose my weight with partial meal replacements. I’m having one normal food meal, two food snacks plus three meal replacement packs per day which are delicious, with a massive variety to choose from. Unlike other diets I’ve tried and failed in the past, I never felt deprived or even really hungry; in fact, I couldn’t believe how much food I needed to eat and how simple it was to follow. The crucial part of the programme is the weekly meetings with all the other lovely ladies who are a superb support. “Why Weight” has changed my life completely for the better. My confidence is coming back and it’s a super feeling walking into shops, picking up clothes and knowing they will fit! If anybody out there is reading this and feels that they have had enough of being over-weight, then my hand is on my heart when I say, “Come and try it - you won’t look back.” Put yourself first - this is something I’m learning to do and I feel much healthier and happier in life”.

“Why Weight” is a unique support programme, designed to help you lose weight and maintain it in the long-term, by helping you break free from destructive cycles of dieting and over-eating. We are delighted to be working with Ellie, who joined us in February 2014 – here’s Ellie’s story

in her own words and pictures...

If you’d like to find out more about “Why Weight”, please contact Freya on 07872 665 421 or Hayley on 07961 001 616 or email [email protected] or visit our website www.whyweightuk.org.uk

Change the way you think.....And lose weight!

Ellie before.... ...and after

Ellie started our Fast programme in February this year, eating one conventional protein food meal per day, along with two healthy snacks and three meal replacement packs. The total cost of Ellie’s programme is £34.65 per week plus £10 group fee.

Rick Mosley is a Police Sergeant based in Bourne. He has served as a Police Officer for 14 years, having spent the first 11 years in Lincoln in a variety of roles from Response Officer, a Community Beat Manager for the West End of Lincoln, (including the University of Lincoln), a Crime Investigator within CID to Acting Sergeant, before moving down to Bourne where he now lives with his partner Melissa, two year old daughter Evie and Cocker Spaniel, Blue.

Q. Why did you want to become a Police Officer?I remember as a small boy sitting in a police car and, like most young boys, loved the idea of being a Police Officer. Having been in the Royal Air Force and really enjoying working in a disciplined, uniformed organisation, it was a natural transition to move to Lincolnshire Police. I like the fact that I really can make a difference to people’s lives by dealing with any incident I am confronted with, from anti-social behaviour to serious crime investigations.

Q. Can you outline the scope of your role?My role is incredibly varied, dealing with a whole manner of situations and incidents, ranging from the very exciting, almost frightening, to the necessary paperwork that goes with each incident with which we have to deal. As a Sergeant on Community Patrol, I lead a team of Police Officers and Special Constables working a variety of shifts from days to full nights. When a call comes in for a police response, we are, in nearly all cases, the first to attend, dealing with the initial response before handing over to any specialist unit, depending on the nature of the incident. Quite simply, no two days are the same, which is what I love about the role.

Q. What initiatives have you brought to Lincolnshire Police?I do consider myself to be very innovative and constantly look for new ways of dealing with problems. I was the first officer in Lincolnshire Police to use Facebook to communicate with, and reach out to, the students at the University of Lincoln. Now, all policing teams within Lincolnshire use Facebook and, even nationally, it is commonplace to now use social media as a policing tool.

I also introduced the use of “Immobilise” in Lincolnshire, which is a free property database to which the members of the public may wish to sign. Once you have set up your profile, you can register all your valuable property on the database. If it is lost or stolen, then the loser can notify “Immobilise” which will update a property search engine called the NMPR, which all law enforcement agencies can access. Any item police come across in their duty can be searched for on the NMPR and, if listed as lost or stolen, can be reunited with their rightful owner. I would urge everyone to register with “Immobilise” (which can be found at www.immobilise.com), to protect your property.

Q. What did you have to do to be promoted to Sergeant?Promotion in the police is a lengthy, thorough process. From Constable to Sergeant, the first step is to take a three hour multi-choice exam on law covering four policing areas, namely roads policing, evidence and procedure, general police duties and crime. Following that, there is a second exam which is set around role play, as a Supervisor dealing with different situations. The next stage is a written application for the role of Sergeant. If successful, the applicant is invited to give a presentation on a subject that is given to them on arrival and for which you have only 30 minutes to prepare. Following this, there is an interview, testing knowledge and understanding, which lasts about an hour.

Q. How do you relax after a day at work?I really enjoy spending quality time with my daughter, who seems to be growing up so quickly. I also love cooking, walking the dog and running. I recently ran the “Langtoft 10k.” and am looking forward to running in more 10k. races and may even move up to half marathons!

“I knew it would be the last time I saw him...”

By Annabel Snape, age 15

knew it would be the last time I saw him. My deep brown eyes filled with fear. Beams of sunlight broke through the smothering clouds that fell delicately on his face, defining his features that made me warm to him even more. I desperately tried to tell him, “I had to get away, I didn’t fit in here.”

Holding my hand with unimaginable force like magnets clinging to each other, I gave a reassuring smile and broke the bond. My knees weakened as I hauled my rucksack over my shoulder. As I walked away I could feel the strain on my heart. Each step seemed to whisper through me, pushing emptiness within me.

The late night air was still while the stars radiated incandescently, shining like diamonds encrusted onto silk almost perfectly. I bathed in the hazy moonlight, feeling it slide seamlessly across my body. All my senses were wide awake. I contemplated whether to go back home, if my mother would come looking for me and if I had simply gone mad. Was I making the wrong decision? Almost at once the trees silenced. A violent wind slashed past my face, strong enough to spin disturbed nightmares. The obscure uptake in wind speed perplexed

me, causing my eyes to dart uncontrollably. My eyes fixated on a flicker of fire that ran up the trees rapidly. Fear ignited my body.

Billows of smoke engulfed me; stabbing my lungs with each breath of poisonous fumes. My eyes strained searching for a gateway of light, hoping to be the end of this living hell. The trees appeared to be groaning in pain, crashing down as their foundations began to weaken and as the fire sucked out their life; soon to be me if I didn’t snap out of this trance of fear...

New legislation came into force in September 2013, removing references to holidays during term time . The legislation now says that a leave of absence during term time will only be granted where an application is made in advance, to the school, and the school consider that the leave of absence should be granted, due to exceptional circumstances relating to that application.

Certain absences will normally be approved without any problems, for example attending a family funeral, hospital or medical appointments.

Each request should be judged on a case by case basis by the Head Teacher, but if the parents are claiming that a holiday abroad can only be afforded in term time or holidays have always been taken at a specific time of year, then these requests are unlikely to amount to an “exceptional circumstance” and it is likely your request will be refused. If your request has been refused, but you still take your child out of school, each parent will be liable to a £60 penalty notice for each child at school. The fine rises to £120 if not paid within seven days. Those who refuse to pay can face court action and, if prosecuted, a large fine and even a possible jail sentence may be imposed. Many parents believe that a week’s holiday will not affect their child’s learning and family time is so much more essential in the current working world. However, by taking your child out of school for one week per year , during their school life they could have missed, in

Make your bedroom a luxurious sanctuary

M

Image: House of Fraser

|Home & garden by Yasmin Chopin, local Interior Designer

These ideas will help you develop your interior design scheme and take it up a level:-

Soft textures: Deep buttoned headboards, quilted bed throws, upholstered chairs and ottomans all add a sense of luxury. The softness is organised, not totally informal, and this is what makes the difference between a luxe feel and a relaxed feel. So if you’d like to add a throw, or a pair of fluffy cushions, place them carefully rather than just anyhow.Glitter and shine: Mirrors, chandeliers, metallics and all reflective materials make the space feel glamorous and give it a touch of ‘Hollywood’. We are forever trying to bring more light into our rooms and mirrors are used freely, but be careful as too many hard surfaces can make a room feel unfriendly. Include fabric that has a sheen or a wallpaper with a metallic background - both give you shine without harshness. You can also add a romantic effect with artificial light by placing a mirror behind it; this works particularly well with wall lights and pendent lamps that hang close to a wall.

Generosity of scale: Wide picture frames, full fringes, large furniture, big patterns and lots of fabric in your drapes suggest opulence. If you can double the amount of anything do it! So, for instance, a single picture would be set with a minimum of two mount boards and a large fluted moulding for a frame. When thinking about the presentation of pictures or photographs, hang a group of smaller ones together to make a large display. Budget constraints often mean that the bedroom slips down the priority list so I hope I’ve encouraged you to spend a little time to create your sanctuary. You don’t necessarily need to spend lots of money to produce sumptuous richness, it’s more about making clever choices.

Larkfleet Homes offers first-time buyers a helping hand Larkfleet Homes understands the stresses and strains involved in purchasing a home – especially for first-time buyers who are new to the entire process.Larkfleet’s dedicated sales teams are on hand every step of the way to offer first-time buyer advice – from the initial sales office enquiry to a personal visit by one of the directors to check that all is well once buyers are moved in. Larkfleet has extended its opening hours during the week at key developments, making it easier for buyers to visit a sales office

outside their own busy work schedules.

The government’s Help to Buy scheme is available at several of Larkfleet’s developments (Abbeyfields and The Garage in Lincolnshire and Leighfield Park in Rutland). Each development

offers a range of properties to suit a variety of homebuyers, including ideal

starter homes for young couples and professionals. Larkfleet also has several independent financial incentive schemes to further help first-time buyers.

At Larkfleet’s Glen Grange development in Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire, the housebuilder offers its own equity share scheme, which allows homebuyers to potentially own a new home but only pay 75 to 85% of the total cost.

The equity-share scheme is perfect for young couples who are looking to purchase their very own home but can’t quite afford the full purchase price. It is also available to growing families who are looking for a little extra room and wish to take their next step on the property ladder.

The legal and financial aspects involved in buying a home can seem daunting and complicated. Larkfleet’s own recommended financial advisors and solicitors offer very competitive rates and are familiar with the properties on offer – enabling them to provide a fast and efficient service for first-time buyers. Energy-efficiency and sustainability are built into all Larkfleet properties and, dependant on the age, size and type of an alternative property, the energy-efficient nature of Larkfleet homes could save buyers up to £600 a year in fuel bills – making buyers’ first homes a great investment for the future.

A new Larkfleet home offers first-time buyers the perfect start on the property ladder. Each Larkfleet property is a ‘blank canvas’ which buyers can personalise to make their own and, if they start their discussions early enough, everything from paint colours to the choice of kitchen units can be specified. Carpets, kitchen appliances and other fittings may also be included in the purchase price.

Larkfleet Homes offers first-time buyers all the assistance they could need to ensure a move into a new Larkfleet property is as simple and stress-free as possible.

Bourne has been extremely successful with achieving awards such as ‘Silver Gilt’ for the town in general since 2008, but with marks improving steadily. On top of the general award we have also gained ‘The Least Littered Environment’ in the East Midlands’ in 2009, special awards for the Allotments, The Willoughby School and many other areas. The committee has been working on further improvements to the environment and has managed to secure sponsorship for 5 large planters to be placed adjacent to the 4 main roads leading into Bourne and one for the archway of the Town Hall for the 2014 season. These planters are being sponsored by Warners Midlands plc, Bourne Prepared Produce (part of Bakkavor), Larkfleet Group and Delaine Buses. A further scheme is being investigated at the moment. If successful in gaining support, this

scheme would provide more colour in the town centre. A number of individuals and organisations continue to do litter picking in and around the outskirts of the town. Bourne Town Council is able to lend litter picking equipment to individuals and groups that are interested in helping to keep the area clean or tidy up an identified grotspot. Although many councils no longer support funding for schemes such as this, Bourne Town Council felt that certain aspects of the town had improved notably since entering this competition and that the budget of £1,200 designated to this cause was money well spent.

epartment stores in England date from the 18th century although the first did not come to Bourne until 1860 when it was opened on a site overlooking the Queen’s Bridge in Eastgate by John Branston and selling a wide range of goods including household linen, curtains and fabrics, boots and shoes, men and women’s clothing, candles and groceries. It was an immediate success even though the population at that time was less than 4,000.

Over the next 40 years, it became the biggest store in Bourne and when his son, Thomas Elmore Branston, took over, he built new shop premises with a grand opening in 1909 and a stone plaque on the front recorded the date together with his initials TEB while the name Branston was picked out in mosaic in the front doorway.

Thomas sold out in 1913 to George Bett, a man with wide experience of the retail trade who expanded the business even further and within a year he was selling everything except uncooked meat, fresh fish and alcoholic drinks which he refused to stock because of his commitment to teetotalism. A trade advertisement from 1930 said that “the shop by the riverside sells almost everything at rock bottom prices” and there were also plenty of customers because by this time the population had risen to almost 5,000.

His motto was: “Come in and walk round. You are not pressed to buy” while all larger purchases were delivered free by their own vans, distance no object. In fact, stock was so varied that the store soon gained a reputation as an Aladdin’s cave filled with most things anyone would need.

George Bett ran the business for 33 years, becoming one of the town’s leading citizens, and when he retired in 1946 the store was sold to Messrs L and H Hayhurst who remained there until it closed in 1970 when it became a showroom for the furniture retail business known as Kinnsway but that shop closed in 1985 when they moved to South Street.

The Eastgate property became an antiques shop but in June 2008 planning permission was granted to turn the premises into a private house and it remains a spacious and stylish building, the biggest retail outlet in the town until the supermarkets arrived, while the present owner has retained many of the original features as a reminder of Bourne’s first department store.

|A word from your Mayor Bob Russell

To give you just a little of my background, I am a Scot, who started

work in the “risk protection field” with a UK national company in Glasgow. Further stints followed, in Bradford, Hanley, Manchester and the City of London. On taking early retirement, I needed something challenging to keep my brain active, but wished also to give something back to the community, so, when we moved to Bourne to be close to my expanding family, I was quickly drawn into local council work as a District

Councillor, then as a Town Councillor.

I am looking forward to representing Bourne during the coming year. I know I won’t get everything right, but you can be sure I will do my best at all times.

It is customary for Mayors to raise money for charities during their term and my chosen charities will be, nationally, Cancer Research and, locally, a fund to support Bourne Youth.

I am Councillor Bob Russell and, on Tuesday 13th May, I was privileged to be appointed as the Mayor of Bourne. I took over the reins from Councillor David Hicks, who did sterling work in the post over the past year.“ “

Add a traditional Start Button to Windows 8

There are a number of applications that bring the old START button functionality back to Windows 8, my favourite by far is the free to use Classic Shell. To be fair Microsoft have made a token effort in Windows 8.1 to provide a form of Start button, but it is very basic and requires right clicking on it to do anything useful (a fact which many people are unaware). If you want to work with a familiar traditional style Windows interface, then I’d thoroughly recommend installing Classic Shell.To download Classic Shell go to www.classicshell.net and click on the Download Now button. After downloading, click run to install and Classic Shell will load.

|Technology Corner by Taff Lovesey, Lites PC

Configuring Classic Shell On first run you will be prompted to configure your settings. You can select XP style Classic, or 2 column or opt for the more recent Windows 7 style. Similarly you can choose whether to show a Start Button (recommended) and what icon to use. In Basic Settings you can choose other options related control. One setting that I always make is to set the Windows Key to open the Windows 8 Metro Start screen. There are also two settings that are set automatically but worth checking. These are the last two on the settings list. The first is to automatically load Classic Shell for the current user and the second is to force the system to skip the Windows 8 Metro screen and jump straight to the Desktop on boot.

This means that you can easily drop back to the new Windows 8 Metro app interface at any point with a single key press. After all, the Windows 8 Metro screen is awkward for mouse/keyboard users but it does have many positives too. Finally, by clicking on Skin you can select the visual aspects of Classic Shell and the Windows 8 desktop If you are not prompted to make these settings on first use, or if you want to change them, you can do so by right clicking on the Classic Shell icon and clicking on Settings.Once installed Classic Shell will remove a lot of the frustration of learning the new Windows 8 interface. It is so effective and reliable that I now load it on every Windows 8 that I sell and/or configure for my clients. As you can see from the image below, the Start button will now have a familiar look and feel (example shown is the Classic 2 column view). The Start Button allows users to quickly come to terms with their new system and to be able to learn the intricacies of Windows 8 at their own pace should they so wish. I hope this helps alleviate the frustrations of using Windows 8 and/or Windows 8.1 for you or your friends.


Farewell “Residence and Contact” Orders!

n 22nd April 2014, the most important reforms in family law for a generation according to Lord Justice Munby, President of the Family Division, came into force. By virtue of the new Children and Families Act 2014 the terms “residence” and “contact” disappear, to be replaced by “a child arrangement order”. At first sight this looks like very good news because the old terms (a lot of people still use custody and access of course) can be emotive and divisive. But on closer inspection, when you come to defining what the child arrangements are, there will still be reference to where the child shall live as well the contact the child shall have with the other parent. There is scope for using more neutral terminology such as “the child shall spend time with the father…” in place of the much abused term “contact”, but the changes are not as far-reaching as family lawyers had hoped for. There is also a new Practice Direction requiring applicants to children cases to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting

(MIAM) before they can come to court. The other parent will be invited to attend but doesn’t have to and the Applicant parent can avoid mediation for limited reasons, such as a history of domestic violence. Mediation is meant to sift out all but the most intractable cases from the court process, and give the court some breathing space from the flood of litigants in person resulting from the ending of legal aid. But because it is not compulsory for both

sides, the Practice Direction is unlikely to have much impact. Getting the arrangements for your children right on separation must be one of the most important things you can do in a relationship breakdown and instructing a family law specialist, even at a cost to your pocket, is going to be worth the investment.

O

...the changes are not as far-reaching as family lawyers had hoped for.

Q: I have heard that mortgage lenders are going to be stricter about lending – would you be able to give me details about this?

MMR is now officially in place and this means a number of changes for Lenders. Stricter lending criteria will also mean that the process of obtaining a mortgage will prove to be more difficult for some borrowers. In the past, some lenders (such as Northern Rock), offered 130% mortgages, which was a ridiculous situation in the end , and there are still several people in a negative equity situation because of this. The Mortgage Market Review (MMR) is a comprehensive review of the mortgage market, which started with a Discussion Paper in 2009 and culminated into a Policy Statement and final rules in October 2012. It is designed to ensure that the property and mortgage crisis of 2007 would not happen again.The MMR package of reforms is aimed at ensuring the continued access to mortgages for the great majority of customers who can afford it, while preventing a return to the poor practices that we saw in the past. Mortgage lenders’ watchword is now “AFFORDABILITY” and the MMR gives them the excuse and power to delve in detail into customers’ personal and financial circumstances and whether they can afford a mortgage. Holidays, pets, children, childcare, lifestyle, gambling, wine consumption are all going to

come under close scrutiny. With immediate effect, the majority of borrowers must receive advice from qualified mortgage advisers based on their affordability. This means that even when your existing mortgage deal comes to an end you will now need to obtain the appropriate mortgage advice (even if you decide to stay with your current lender). We would therefore recommend that anyone whose mortgage deal is due to end within the next 2-3 months starts the process early.

Q. Paul, someone told me I can use my pension pot to buy a commercial property – is this true?

It is true. As one of your options, a pension plan provides the opportunity to buy and invest in UK commercial property directly. This is potentially beneficial if you are self-employed and want to use your SIPP to help buy your business premises. However, the property does not need to be connected to your own business. Also, you and others can pool the funds in your SIPPs to buy a commercial property as a joint investment. This means that a property can be bought jointly by borrowing up to 50% of the net value of your combined Retirement plans.


If you want a skilled mechanic, with over

20 years’ experience in the motor trade, whose emphasis, according to his web-site, is “a small family run business with family values”, and who stresses

his very competitive labour costs and

“the cheapest tyres in Bourne”, then Nigel

Petler is your man – at NP Autos.

After 15 successful years at nearby Fossitt and Thorne, Nigel, with wife Debbie as business partner, started his new venture in January, in premises off South Fen Road, (behind the

NP AUTO’S BOURNE LTD Not just another garage!

Snooker Club) and has been inundated with work ever since! He offers a wide range of automobile services, “everything from a bulb to an engine re-build!” NP Autos will supply and fit any tyre to any vehicle, all at the most competitive price for miles around. Sharing the garage premises with his friend Elliot Newman, whose firm, “Porkaparts” specialise in Porsche 924 and 944 models, gave Nigel the chance to help prepare and service a “clutch” of five Porsche 944s for a sponsored expedition to the Arctic wastelands, an amazing planned 2,896 miles in 84 hours, which sets out on June 18th. This will be to raise money for “Help for Heroes”. Ambitious stuff from an ambitious mechanic!

Give Nigel a call on 0778 440891, even if you might not have a Porsche of your own!

The BMW i3

oday heralds a new era of premium car ownership with the launch of the all-new BMW i3. This revolutionary car offers zero emissions in a premium car package, yet at an affordable price. The BMW i3 is the world’s first premium car designed from the ground up to be powered by an electric drive system. The result is a vehicle that embodies BMW’s commitment to driving pleasure without compromise. The electric motor generates an output of 170hp, with peak torque of 250Nm on demand instantly. This allows the BMW i3 to sprint from zero to 37mph in a mere 3.7 seconds and zero to 62mph in just 7.2 seconds, while the lithium-ion battery gives a range of 80–100 miles in every-day driving. This rises by approximately 15 per cent in ECO PRO mode and by the same again in ECO PRO+ mode. For customers particularly conscious of ‘range anxiety’, the BMW i3 is available with a range ex-tender engine, powering a generator to maintain the charge of the lithium-ion battery at a constant level while on the move. The range extender in-creases the car’s maximum range in day-to-day

The BMW i3 |Motoring

Born to be electricdriving to around 180 miles on one tank of fuel.Both BMW i3 models include a three-year, unlim-ited mileage vehicle warranty and an eight-year, 100,000 mile battery warranty. The battery is also included in the price of the car negating a separate lease charge for battery, as is the case for other electric vehicles. The manufacturing procedure and lifespan of the BMW i3 has been carefully considered, with sustainability at the forefront of thinking. Regen-erative energy is used at all four BMW i plants across the globe, with 50 per cent less water consumed and 70 per cent less energy than in a conventional automotive facility. The carbon fibre required is produced at the BMW SGL Moses Lake plant in Washington State, which is com-pletely powered by hydro-generated electricity. Construction of the CFRP architecture at Land-shut, general assembly at Leipzig and recycling at Wackersdorf (all in Germany) are all powered by 100 per cent wind turbine energy.

OutstandingCompetition Success

Year 6 children at Bourne Westfield Primary Academy were delighted to hear the results of this year’s Bourne Rotary’s Writing and Art competi-tion with two pupils achieving success. Peter Reid received first prize for his writing and went on to represent the District on 17th May in Market Harborough, where he received a certificate of participation coming 8th overall from over 1,000 entries in the junior section of the competition. Peter wrote a very moving story based on his great grandfather who served as one of the desert rates on the African front line in World War II. Cora Downing was awarded second prize for her lovely art work in the style of L.S. Lowry. Peter and Cora were presented with their prizes at a ceremony at Morton Village Hall. Later the same week we were contacted regard-ing three further poetry prizes, and were delighted to learn that Bourne Westfield had swept the board with three amazing poetry entries. 1st prize went to Chantelle Kelly with second and third prizes going to Rebecca Fielding and Lucy Cowell respectively. The children received their prizes in a special as-sembly. Head of Year 6, Gillian Goodwin, commented: “It was lovely to see the children celebrate their suc-cess – they have worked extremely hard and their finished work reflected this.”

The Club was first Chartered in 1967. Rotary International is divided into Districts and our Club is part of District 1070, which has 87 Clubs from parts of Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Rotary is an international organisation with 1.2 million members in over 200 countries. Rotarians are part of the Rotary Club of Bourne; they are also members of Rotary International.

Club successesThe activities of the Club have been varied and successful in their approach and in their support of “making a difference”. There are many different schemes overseas in which the Club has taken part, such as Polio Eradication. However, the Club concentrates most of its activity mainly in the local area, in and around Bourne. Examples are:Support for Meals on Wheels at Christmas, The Butterfield Centre,The Bourne branch of the British Red Cross, The British Legion,The Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Respite Care Trust, The Willoughby Respite Fund,Baldock’s Mill Project,Bourne Outdoor Pool,Bourne and Thurlby Scouts and Guides, The Evergreen Trust,The Calvert Trust. We have also been involved in the promotion of local children at Rotary educational competitions such as Youth Speaks, Young Musician, Young Writer, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards and, more recently, Young Artist. However, as part of Rotary International, the

club has been involved in international projects, such as :Aqua boxes and Shelter boxes, Mercy Ships,Water Aid,Leonard Cheshire Disability,Farm Africa,The Jaipur Limb Project,The Uganda Motorcycle Ambulance Project. The majority of the projects listed above happen occasionally, with the possible exception of the youth programme which is carried out annually. We respond to the needs of disaster projects, such as the recent one in the Philippines, by providing Aqua and Shelter boxes. Both of these programmes were started by Rotary clubs in response to emergency situations. The club meets every Tuesday at 1pm, except when there are five Tuesdays in the month, when we have a guest evening and the opportunity to socialise as a group. We have guest speakers at many of our meetings and this gives us the chance to hear from various individuals about their interests and their jobs. There is also a very active social programme of events throughout the Rotary year. We are always keen to have new members and, if you think this is something you might like to take part in, please go to our website at www.bournerotary.org. There is a membership link button in blue on the right-hand side of the website and, if you click the button, you will be put in touch with a club representative who will be happy to discuss Rotary with you. The club would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have helped us over the last 45 years by way of donations and sponsorship. Without your generosity we would not be able to deliver our programme.

|Event diary: June 2014

There will be a terrific line-up of vocal talent, in the form of Lola Lamour, Paul Casper and Ian 'Rosie' Rose, along with demonstration dancing by the Blitz Dancers and Charlie and Jayné. The event will be officially opened by Peter Austwick, portraying the legendary Winston Churchill.

The main military re-enactor group is the 379th Bomb Group, with an interesting and varied display of US Army vehicles, weapons and equipment. Additionally, there will be individual re-enactors, authentically dressed in period civilian costumes and uniforms, including The Land Army, The Home Guard and The Civil Defence. A variety of vintage military and civilian vehicles will also be proudly on display.

Other attractions include a radio tent, where children can learn Morse Code, a Dambusters display and a 1940’s hairstylist who can create an instant period look for the ladies. As a memento of the day, a photographer will take, print and mount your picture, literally while you wait. Trade stalls will be selling vintage clothing, craft items, second hand books, bric-a-brac and health & beauty products.There will be a strong Army Cadet presence from the local detachments of Bourne and Market Deeping, who will be putting on a variety of displays and activities.

To help make the event a family-friendly day out, a funfair, pony rides, the Lions Bus and a secure picnic and children's play area, complete with bouncy castle, will be provided.To top it all, an excellent variety of catering, including a fully licensed bar, all with generous seating areas, will be yours to savour. Don't let inclement weather deter you as there is ample undercover seating, to enjoy the entertainment in comfort.The low admission price of £5 per adult (free for under-16s and a concession for seniors) is intended to make the event very affordable for families.
