Welcome to Discovering March - February

Andrew Smith

March ell can you believe it, it’s already the second month of 2015. There’s an interesting fact I found out about February recently, it always ends on the same day of the week as October. For example, this year February and October both end on a Saturday; and even the addition of an extra day during a leap year doesn’t make any difference as next year both end on Monday.

This time of year always reminds me of a story one of my old PE teachers would tell during assembly. He would regularly visit the gym and used to say how during January you almost couldn’t move in there due to the number of new people attending hoping to get in better shape or lose the excess weight they’d put on over Christmas. However, come the first week of February he said it would be so empty it felt like he owned the place.

I’m sure he used to tell us this as a way of saying it’s easy to set a goal but hard to stick to it or as a way of conveying to us you need to show dedication in what you do, but I don’t think it quite had the desired effect because all it made me think was the first week of February sounds like a good time to start going to the gym.

In the magazine this month we have a lot of great things for you to look forward to. We have a new film page, courtesy of the Light Cinema, and you can see all the big releases to lookout for in February.

If you’re a coffee lover there’s a great recipe for cappuccino nutcake, you can journey back in time to when March was home to woolly rhinos. You can read about the bizarre rumour, or is it, that during the World War One a German spy was captured in Chatteris disguised as a banjo player, check out the array of events happening in March and the surrounding areas and much more.

Valentine’s Day - February 14thWhat’s That All About Then?

a In Ancient Rome, February 13th, 14th and 15th were celebrated as “Lupercalia”, a pagan fertility festival, seen as a basis for a celebration of love on this date.

a AD 289 - A Christian, Valentine of Rome, is martyred under Emperor Claudius. While in jail, this priest is said to have converted his jailer by healing his blind daughter's sight. He is later said to have fallen in love with the daughter, sending her a note saying “From your Valentine”, but this is apocryphal.

a AD 496 - Pope Gelasius declared February 14th to be “St Valentine's Day”, a Christian feast day to match the still-popular pagan festival of Lupercalia.

a AD 1382 - Geoffrey Chaucer writes his Parlement of Foules (or “Parliament of Fowls”), which is widely taken to be the first linking of St Valentine's Day to romantic love. Celebrating the engagement of Richard II of England and Anne of Bohemia, he wrote: “For this was on St. Valentine's Day/ When every fowl cometh there to choose his mate”.

a AD 1601 - St Valentine's Day has entered the popular consciousness to the extent that Shakespeare mentions it in Ophelia's lament in “Hamlet”: “To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day,/All in the morning betime,/And I a maid at your window,/To be your Valentine.”

a Mid-18th century - The passing of love-notes becomes popular in England, a precursor to the St Valentine's Day card as we know it today. Early ones are made of lace and paper.

Take a brief romantic stroll through the centuries, up to today’s commercial orgy of flowers, jewellery and chocolates.

a In 1797 – “The Young Man’s Valentine Writer” is published, suggesting appropriate rhymes and messages, and, as postal services became more affordable, the anonymous St Valentine's Day card became possible. By the early 19th century, they become so popular that factories start to mass-produce them.

a Mid-1980s - The commercialisation continues: noting the sales effect on chocolate, flowers and cards, the diamond industry gets involved, promoting St Valentine's Day as a time for giving jewellery and so the “tradition” takes off.

a AD 2015 - An estimated 1 billion St Valentine's Day cards will be sent worldwide this year, making it the second most card-heavy celebration, after Christmas.

| Food By Sue Lazarus

Fancy a Coffee? was 17 before I drank coffee. It was only when I went to college and offered free tea or coffee with biscuits at our morning break that I decided to try it. So began my long love affair with this drink and now I find it hard to function at work without a large black coffee to cope with my very early starts and occasional late finishes. As a chef in a busy kitchen you do need something to keep you going and staff know to keep my coffee cup full. The British were the first Europeans to fully embrace the pleasures of coffee with the opening in Oxford of the first coffee house in 1650. Its popularity spread throughout the 17th and 18th centuries with many more coffee houses in London at that time than exist today. Unlike today’s trendy shops a coffee house then was ‘crowded, smelly, noisy, feisty, smoky and jointly celebrated and condemned’. They were dubbed ‘the penny universities’ as it was said a man could gain more useful knowledge from a visit to a coffee house than a whole month of book learning; a penny being the price of a cup of coffee. If only that were the price today!

Some of the coffee houses were frequented by different groups of workers who became the king pins of society. ‘Jonathans’ in Change Alley was where stockbrokers met and formed the stock exchange. Ship owners would go to Edward Lloyds in Lombard Street, which became Lloyds of London. To go with your coffee you need some cake and this recipe is a good one, though I have to be careful when I make it that my husband does not devour it before I can get a slice!

Cappuccino nut cakeu 3oz plain flour u Pinch of saltu 1½ oz butteru 3 eggsu 1 tbs strong coffee essenceu 3¼ oz caster sugaru 4oz butter creamu Apricot glazeu Glacé icingu Coffee essence for cream and icingu Toasted hazelnuts or almonds

1. Heat the oven to 190oC.2. Prepare by sifting the flour and salt and warming the butter until soft and pourable. Heat a little water in a saucepan and place a heatproof bowl into it. Put the egg, sugar and coffee essence into the bowl and whisk until fluffy. The warmth has the effect of making the mixture light as well as partially cooking it.3. Remove the bowl from the water and continue whisking until the mixture has cooled. Fold in two thirds of the flour, then the melted butter and finally add the remaining flour. Turn into an 8’tin and bake for 30/35 mins. When cool, slice the cake into two halves. Spread the coffee butter cream over one half and then lay the other half on top. Apply a thin coat of apricot glaze over the whole cake. Add a teaspoon of coffee essence to the glacé icing and spread over the cake with the nuts. Irresistible!

| A word from - your Mayor Kit Owen

I must comment on the number of Carol Services your Mayor is invited to during the Christmas Period. Among those attended was that of the Chairman of Fenland District Council, at which I along with other local Mayor’s was invited to read a lesson. I’ve been ‘Away in a Manger’ so many times that I forget I’ve known the words since Dartford Road Infants School. No wish to imagine how often since.

The Mayors Carol Service, I thought went very well with readings from Jay Skoulding (son of the deputy Mayor), together with representatives of the Army Cadets and Air Cadets. I also had contributions from Cavalry School Pupils both choir and band, and the Burrowmoor Junior School choir. This Carol Service is always so very popular, that it is impossible for me to accommodate all the schools who wish to participate.

Many of you will know I had close ties with Maple Grove Infants and Westwood Junior School for many years, initially via Miss Wright (I never used her Christian name) and Grahame Coombes, both very respected heads of each school, at which I was at varying times either a Governor or Chairman.

The Town had the annual Christmas Lights switch-on at the end of November on March Market Place, at which I was ably assisted by Anna Hankins from Eddies in the High Street, to illuminate the Town. That switch-on and the number of people who attended, was such a contrast to that first one I did in 1983 on horseback.

I can let you in on a little secret, in those days when we worked with Eastern Electricity, all the Christmas Lights were connected to the street and footway lights. They were scheduled to come on at 4.30 p.m. Accordingly I arrived and placed my hand in the lamp column in Broad Street just before 4.30 and the lights came on. Amazing, as I was then able to remove my hand, remount the horse and ride off into the sunset. I never recalled pushing any sort of switch in that column but I guess I must have done, otherwise how did the lights come on. Rather than the thousands which turn out for the switch on these

days, there were just six; a mum with two children, the assistant Town Clerk, the owner of the horse and of course me.

Also during December, I was asked to attend the ‘graduation’ of 15 or so young people, including some from March, at a ceremony held at Wisbech Fire Station. That location enabled the team to perform their fire drill with fire engines, bells and whistles (or blues and twos), hoses and water. An excellent performance it was too. The course had lasted some three months for which each participant was carefully selected, as it was thought they could benefit from it. In their personal closing speeches and the opportunity to meet them afterwards, the benefits they had received were clearly apparent. It had inspired, matured and educated them as well as giving them the confidence they didn’t know they had, to get away from their X boxes and computers, out of their bedrooms and into the real world. The one in which you orally communicate with people and talk to them.

The town was pretty much closed down over Christmas, for two weeks, there was little else happening – something to do with the birth of Jesus. Why do so many kids think it’s to celebrate Santa’s Birthday?

My first outing in January was to the Great Hall of Trinity College Cambridge, courtesy of the High Sheriff for a reception. A place I never previously had the privilege to visit. It was pretty much as expected but there is a sense of occasion upon entering the establishment, with all the portraits of the famous on the wall. I noticed Henry VIII, not sure he went to Cambridge, but there were many who did.

Finally, the occasion of the Mayor’s Charity Ball will take place at the Braza Club on Friday 6th February. Tickets and further details are available from the Assistant Town Clerk at the Town Hall.

anuary and February were the last two months to be added to the Roman calendar, as the Romans thought of winter as a single period of time. February, the third winter month and the shortest, was named from Februa meaning a time of atonement and cleansing. Snowdrops were known as Candlemas bells, as they appeared around Candlemas the festival of light on February 2nd. In the fens a cold wet month brought the opportunity for skating on frozen flooded fields and washes. On February 17th, 1794 a wind cornmill in Norwood, March was to be sold by auction at the White Hart Inn, ‘with the cloths, boulting-mill, working-gears, and other appurtenances’, and one rood of land on which the mill stood. The premises were copyhold of the manor of Doddington and were in the estate of William Hudson. Also his adjoining freehold ‘messuage or tenement with an exceeding good oven and proper conveniences for carrying on the trade of a baker’, and its one rood of land. The purchaser would have immediate possession on payment and further particulars could be obtained from Mr. Barley, March attorney. (1) At March Urban Council in February 1915 Mr Truman remarked that two months earlier the Surveyor’s attention was called to the crossing near St John’s church and he said he would have it attended to. Nothing had been done and the crossing was a ‘brute’. Another opposite the Market Place was very bad. The surveyor thought it best to wait until spring and put in a ‘tar macadam crossing, taking up the granite sets’. Mr Ogden favoured taking up the sets but several

members opposed it. It was finally left to the Surveyor to do what he thought best. (2) Have you sent your Sixpence for a gift to a soldier or sailor? The Cambridgeshire Times Tobacco fund to enable readers to send free gifts of tobacco and cigarettes to soldiers and sailors ‘on active service at the front or on the seas’ had been very successful. The total of £106 13s 10d ‘reflects the greatest credit upon all who have responded to this appeal on behalf of those who are fighting our battles on sea and land, risking their all and enduring privations for the sake of their King and country and all of us at home.’ (3) A rumour circulated in March that a German spy had been captured at Chatteris disguised as a banjo player. It was claimed that when he was asked in a public house to play it he refused saying that he had broken the strings of the banjo. Onlookers became suspicious and immediately called the police. The banjoist was arrested, and a pair of pigeons was discovered inside the banjo. Attached to one bird’s leg was a message ‘March is unprotected’. It was unknown whether it was in German or English or how pigeons could have been hidden inside a banjo though it may have been a fake one. The story created quite a sensation, and it was not known how the story originated. (4)

When discussing the history of Fenland, an underwater marshland comes to mind. It is no secret that our beautiful landscape was once completely inaccessible unless via boat. This story of Fenland starts underwater, but it starts a little earlier than you might anticipate. It starts around 200 million years ago, when it would have been more common to see a T-Rex than a tractor. In the Jurassic period, when dinosaurs ruled the earth, Fenland was buried under the surface of the water and it wasn’t until the whole world froze, that it became a stomping ground for giant prehistoric beasts. Today the remains of these animals can be found on your own doorstep. Jamie Jordan, owner of Fossils Galore, recently acquired a woolly rhino skull excavated in the surrounding area. Woolly rhino (Coelodonta antiquitatis), now an extinct species of rhinoceros, were common in the last ice age. They shared the same thick coat as the woolly mammoth, and were much like the rhinos we know today. “This the fifth set of woolly rhino remains found in the area,” said Jamie. “We have had an archaeologist confirm that the skull is roughly 250,000 years old.” Woolly rhino have been referred to as a furry lawnmower due to their large appetite for grass. Grass is not something many people would expect to be present during an ice age, but according to Chris Faine, Oxford Archaeology, Fenland may have been woolly rhino paradise, he said: “The landscape immediately to the south would have been largely open grassland with permafrost in place, along with

wide river valleys.” The local produce could have attracted rhino, but without a time machine it’s hard to separate fact from theory. However, there are a few facts that we can be sure of thanks to imprints on the bones. Jamie, who found this key piece of the puzzle, said:”There are tool marks on the remains, which indicates the presence of early man. I doubt humans killed this beast, but it is possible they would have scavenged.” Professor Adrian Lister from The Natural History Museum, added: “If humans hunted them at all it would have been rare, more for bravado than anything else. “I doubt the rhino would have been prey. There is a good chance that humans would have scavenged off of carcasses by scaring off predators with things like fire, and they would have scavenged whatever they could.” A town that is fondly called ‘home’ by so many took a long time to emerge from the water, but once March surfaced it began to breathe, and giant beasts began to breathe with it. The discovery of this superb skull proves that March and the surrounding areas have a prehistoric story to tell. Some of those stories can be found at Fossils Galore. What story will you discover about March?

It was a pleasure to join Neale-Wade Academy for a visit from HRH The Princess Royal. The visit shows what fantastic progress has been made by pupils, teachers, governors and parents at the school; under the leadership of Principal Jason Wing. Princess Anne was treated to a tour of the Academy, meeting teachers and pupils, before giving a short speech and unveiling a commemorative plaque. It is great to see the Academy’s achievements being recognised on what was a very proud day for the town of March.

Residents can now take advantage of the refurbishments at the George Campbell Leisure Centre. A new pool lining and roof insulation have been installed as part of a £850,000 revamp of the centre, which is due to be finished in April.

Also on the subject of sport, we recently received the excellent news that Sport England are set to approve a quarter of a million pounds worth of funding to help increase sports participation in Fenland, including money for more coaching, after a series of meetings I held with the Sports Minister and senior officials. We are also working on capital sports bids including the much needed 3G football pitch in March. I look forward to updating residents on progress in this area.

Chemotherapy could be provided at units across Fenland thanks to the success of a scheme at a nearby doctors’ surgery. A satellite chemotherapy unit opened at St George’s practice in Littleport last May has proved successful for both patients and

Addenbrookes’ Hospital in Cambridge which provides the staff and expertise. Having raised this as part of the “Treat me Local” health campaign with NHS bosses, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group are now seeking approval from NHS England to extend the service into the other parts of the constituency. Suffering cancer is traumatic enough without people having to face long journeys to hospital for treatment when they are feeling ill. The satellite unit at Littleport has proved this service can be provided outside of hospital and we now need to ensure this new approach is more widely available.Fenland District Council has confirmed that

they have purchased covert cameras as part of their effort to prevent fly-tipping in the area. I recently found out that no prosecutions had been made in Fenland for the past seven years and arranged a meeting with the Council on behalf of local resident Lynton Webb. Fly-tipping is a serious issue and it is

right that every effort is made to capture those committing this crime. It causes great harm and cost to residents directly affected and also to taxpayers who pay for the clear up team from the council who do such a good job.

Immobilise is a national property database that allows you to protect your possessions by registering them for free. Any valuables that have a unique serial number, such as mobile phones, can be registered online. These details are searchable by all UK Police Forces and form an extremely powerful tool in helping to identify and return recovered, lost or stolen personal property to its rightful owner. Virtually any item can be registered, from your TV, bicycle and camera to your toaster!

What will I need to register? Simply go to www.immobilise.com to start the registration; you will need an e-mail address and the make, model and serial number of any property you wish to record. It only takes a few moments to create an account and you can add property at your leisure.How do I find my serial number(s)? Serial numbers can be different depending on what item you want to register. On a mobile phone it would be your IMEI number which can be obtained by either looking underneath the battery, typing *#06# into the keypad or by looking on the side of the box. On most other electrical items it would be on the back or underneath of the item, usually near a barcode. For bicycles it would be the frame number, which can be found in several locations on the frame.What happens once I’m registered? Should you lose or have any of your property stolen and the Police recover it, they can quickly establish who the real owner is and return it to you and, where appropriate, arrests can be made. The police have access to the National Mobile Property Register (NMPR) (www.thenmpr.com) which is the sister site of Immobilise. Second hand shops have access to the CheckMEND database (www.checkmend.com/uk) which provides selected information about an item, so they can check to ensure they are not receiving stolen goods.Can I highlight my property as stolen on my account?Yes, Immobilise has a feature for an owner to instantly update their property status on their account as lost or stolen. Remember, if you have had an item stolen it is vital to report it to the police straight away by dialling 101. Also, if it is a mobile phone that you have lost or had stolen, then also report it to your network provider as soon as possible, as they can block the handset so no one else can use it.

IS YOUR PROPERTY REGISTERED?

March ChamberWhat is a Chamber of Commerce for? Looking through some of the historical records for March Chamber – which stretches at least as far back as 1942 – makes it very apparent how much business in this town has changed as the world moves on. In the past, your local Chamber of Commerce was an important link to all sorts of information about business law; employment; new advances in agricultural machinery; Trade Unions; the rights of milkmaids and so much more! However, in this brave new world where virtually everyone can plug straight into the Internet on an array of hand-held devices, all the information you might need is easily and quickly accessible.

Due to this the Chamber’s role has been changing and moving with the times, so we are still important and relevant to today’s businesses. It is a great truism that “People do business with people”, nowhere more so than in a small to medium-size town like March. So much business is done on local recommendations, and this is the reason why networking has become so popular recently. The huge growth of social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter means that businesses need to have a viable Internet presence and keep refreshing and changing their content in order to attract new customers, as well as keeping the interest of existing ones.

In order to help local businesses to better understand this medium, we are delighted to announce that Hazel Cottrell of Creative Content Company is to be our guest speaker for our evening meeting on Monday February 9th at the Oliver Cromwell Hotel. Members and guests can enjoy a light buffet and soak up Hazel’s top tips for Social Media marketing, with a free draw for a one-to-one consultation with Hazel up for grabs! To book your place for this event, please contact our Secretary, Michelle Pegg at [email protected]

award at the star studded Sun Military awards (Millies), where on the night they narrowly missed out to a deserving Army Children’s Charity. The Millies are an annual awards ceremony which honours members of the British armed forces and civilians involved with the forces, and were created by The Prince of Wales. The awards

are organised and sponsored by The Sun newspaper and the award trophies are designed and hand-made by British Silversmith and porcelain designer Kerry O’Connor.

More recently it has been announced that the team’s first and longest standing injured rider, Murray Hambro, has been nominated on behalf of the whole True Heroes Racing team for the “Sporting Endeavour” award at the 2015 Soldiering on Awards, to take place in April at a celebrity awards ceremony in London.

True Heroes Racing play a supporting role to the British Super Bike events that take place all over the country and abroad, and the team travel around the country to all British Super Bike events. Chris and her family can be found volunteering with True Heroes Racing most weekends and Adam is the only able bodied mechanic on the team. Chris is assistant to the hospitality and catering part of the team (generally know as the Galley Slave) and, along with Terry, looks after the boys in general. Chris is very proud of her team family.

Chris Shroff has worked as a legal secretary with March solicitors Fraser Dawbarns for eight years, and being a local lady is a familiar face around the town. Chris, along with her husband Terry and son Adam have volunteered and worked closely with True Heroes Racing: www.trueheroesracing.co.uk.

True Heroes Racing is the brain child of a serving Royal Navy sailor who has been lucky enough to return from several tours of duty in Afghanistan uninjured. After working with a large number of injured UK Service personnel on motorsport charity events, it was decided to try and use competitive motorsport as a way of restoring a sense of direction and focus for injured UK Service personnel, and in 2012 “True Heroes Racing” was formed.

In December 2014 it was a real honour for True Heroes Racing to be nominated by the general public for the “Support to the Armed Forces”

| Pet’s corner By Best Friends Veterinary Group, 3 Upwell Road, March PE15 9DT

Reducing the Cost of Preventative Pet CareThere is often a preconception that vet bills are very expensive, even if a visit is required simply for a pet’s annual vaccination booster. But why is that, is it because vets actually are very expensive? Is it because we have free healthcare for humans and so have nothing to reference the cost of pet care against? Or is it because a trip to the vets always results in a lump sum needing to be paid in one go? Most of us pay for the things we know we’ll need throughout the year in monthly payments, things like insurance, utilities and taxes. So why not apply this to the cost of preventative care for your pet?This is exactly what Best Friends Vets Practices are now doing by offering our clients the option to pay a set amount by direct debit every month, which covers the cost of their pet(s) basic preventative care for a whole year. So what is a years’ worth of preventative care? This depends on the type of pet you have; check the guide below to see what your vet will normally recommend for basic preventative care once your pet has had its initial vaccination course.

Cat’s: - Preventative flea treatment given monthly

- Worming treatment given every 3 months- Vaccine booster against Flu, Enteritis and Leukaemia every year

Dogs: - Preventative flea treatment given monthly- Worming treatment given every 3 months- Vaccine booster against Distemper, Canine Hepatitis, Adenovirus, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza and Leptospirosis every year

Rabbits: - Worming treatment given every 3 months- Vaccine booster against Viral Haemorrhagic Disease every year- Vaccine booster against Myxomatosis every 6 months

Preventative care schemes vary in what they offer and cost, they will also usually be reflective of not just species but of the size of the breed. Some also have added benefits such as discounts off non-preventative treatments and products, like a loyalty bonus for signing up to monthly payments, which can be of great benefit if your pet has an ongoing condition. So why not see what your local practice is doing and make vet bills that little bit less scary.

| March RNA By David Lazarus (www.marchrna.org)

he annual Royal Naval Association (RNA) March Branch Christmas party took place on the 11th December. We were entertained by the Peterborough based barbershop style, singing group ‘Hereward Harmony’ and enjoyed a delicious seasonal buffet provided by Sue and David Lazarus. The RNA is all about Unity, Loyalty, Patriotism and Comradeship and outside of our regular events this ethos was exemplified when one of our branch members became ill during the holiday period. The selfless dedication of our welfare officers who stepped in was inspiring and is a measure of what our March Branch is all about. On Christmas Eve one of our shipmates – George, an 84 year old veteran – attended his local hospital in considerable pain. He was diagnosed with a collapsed lung. Astonishingly he was then discharged and sent home to an empty house with no concern whatsoever given to his circumstances. His granddaughter, who lives a considerable distance away, became aware of his distress and contacted Len Baynes, one of our volunteer welfare officers. On Boxing Day Len visited George and found him still in the chair where, the previous day, he had been left by the ambulance crew when sent home, struggling for breath and in great despair. Len called the emergency services and a paramedic examined George expressing his astonishment that he had been discharged from hospital and subsequently arranged for an

ambulance to return him there. After some time being moved from bed to bed, he was finally diagnosed with Pleurisy and Pneumonia in addition to the collapsed lung. Len and his wife maintained close contact with George throughout to try and ensure he was looked after but once again, on New Years Eve, George was sent home still very ill and without any apparent consideration being given to his home environment. Our welfare officers stepped in once more. No help was available from the local GP during the holiday period and social services seemed not to have been contacted by the hospital. Len and his wife, Jan, cooked meals and shopped for George in addition to monitoring his condition and tirelessly trying to make sure he received the professional treatment he should from both the health and social services. As voiced on this matter by our Chairman, Terry Shad, we feel greatly concerned about this incident and trust it is not an indicator of the treatment any of us can expect to receive from our health service in our old age. Due only to the care and concern of volunteer Branch members, George is now, hopefully, finally receiving the right hospital treatment and is on the mend but it is a worry that it had to be fought for. This event is also testament to our volunteer Welfare Officers Len and Jan Baynes who, we believe, saved George’s life over Christmas through their selfless concern for a shipmate.

Many of my clients know they can secure a guaranteed income if they are sick or suffer an accident in exchange for a regular monthly premium. They under-stand the financial security that this provides them and their families, knowing that basic expenses can be met even if they are unable to work. How would you manage financially if the main bread winner was unable to work for three months or more?

I came across another example recently where a client has a significant pension benefit to look forward to at their normal retirement age, they know that they can take this pension earlier but there is a reduction in benefit of about 4% for every full year it is taken early. So in simple terms a £20,000 p.a. pension taken 10 years early reduces that benefit by 40%. The problem being, even if the remaining pension increases, it is unlikely to catch up to the amount it would have been if taken at ‘normal retirement’ time.

The reason pension providers reduce benefits for early payment (younger clients) is the expectation that they will have to pay out for

longer than they expected. Unsurprisingly those wishing to gain access early are the ones that are penalised, so it is important to have a financial safety net in place in order to ‘keep your powder dry’.

When people are asked why they might want access to their pension earlier, it came down to the possibility of not being able to work. So another benefit of an Income Protection Plan could be the preservation of pension benefits that are scheduled to last a lifetime. If you want further information on cash flow analysis, speak with an independent financial adviser; contact me for a free initial consultation.

| Local Fishing Round Up with Bob Fitzjohn

Town River Xmas Match Will Help Light Up March

The last match of 2014 fished on the Old Nene through March saw 90 anglers line the banks, and the river lived up to its reputation as being one of the best winter fishing spots in the country. 28lb was needed to win and the top 35 anglers all put more than 10lb on the scales – I must have been 35th as I had 10lb 4oz. The winner, Rob Wotton from Leicester, sat one peg below the bypass bridge and steadily caught Roach for five hours – the first two on punched bread and the other three on hemp. Second place went to local rod Rob Hewison from Ramsey; he was sat on Nene Parade and caught 24lb of mostly Roach with the odd Skimmer using pinkie on the hook fished over ground bait. This match was the March clubs open fur and feather match and saw the top 15 anglers all receive a prize, with £100 being raised for the Christmas Lights appeal. An angler who has made the most of where he lives during the Xmas break was Paul Wing, landlord of The Ship Inn, who only has to step out of his front door to find himself on the bank of the Old Nene. In a two hour session using a new Lure Rod he landed six Perch to 1lb and a small Zander, all caught in the shadow of the town bridge.

The River Welland in the middle of Spalding has also been fishing well during the winter months. Martin Roper of Wisbech won a five hour match with 35lb of Roach to 12ounces, and the following week Whittlesey angler Lee Klimczuk needed 22lb of Roach to take top spot. One club that has not given up on lakes in the area is March club Townsend Angling who, over the past month, have fished over at Decoy Lakes a couple of times. One match was on Elm Lake where Brian King caught 109lb of Carp to 4lb for top spot. I was lucky enough to draw the peg opposite Brian and helped myself to 91lb for second spot. The other match, fished on Horseshoe Lake, on a very cold and frosty morning saw Micky Smalley take the honours with 25lb; closely followed by Mick James with 24lb. Elsewhere on the lakes Westwood near Boston still holds matches during the winter as do Townsend Lakes near Upwell. Hopefully by the time you read my next report the weather might have warmed up a bit.

Tight Lines!

Buying or selling a property

| Legal Corner by Susan Pearson – Managing Partner

When buying or selling a house it is most important the information you provide is accurate and true. Most people are of the view that the information which is provided on the property information form is not very important, however that is far from the case. If a buyer enters into an agreement to purchase a property and has relied on the information provided as being true; if they subsequently find out that information is untrue, and had they known the truth it would have influenced them in going ahead with the purchase, then the seller may be liable and the buyer may have an action for breach of warranty and be entitled to compensation. A further concern is where the substantive details about the property are not true. This can usually be seen where a conversion or new build is being sold and the property does not comply with the planning permission or breaches the council building regulations, but is being portrayed as doing so. Under these circumstances, and if the breach is a material breach and has been

relied on to the detriment of the buyer, then an action – dependent upon the circumstances – may arise for negligent or fraudulent misrepresentation, which may result in the buyer being able to set aside the transaction and or obtain damages.

If you think you have a claim under these circumstances it is important to act quickly and take legal advice on what action is available.

Youth

Shannon - looking out for the youth and events right here in March

So much is available for young people, check out www.cambridgeshire.net or see what 20Twenty Productions.co.uk are up to.

Hi Y’all, I can officially say a happy new year now! Just wow, a whole one has passed. Back to the books for most of us after a Christmas break. Although everyone I speak to seems to have been ill through Christmas, myself included. But let’s not dwell on that, exams are approaching fast! I’m just giving a small update as the year has barely begun.

Firstly I’m going to start with a tiny bit of self-advertisement. I am currently running a project with a friend, Reece. Our aim is to investigate how music has influenced fashion in certain eras; we shall be exploring the 50s and 80s. The project will run from February half term and then on May 27th we will host a fashion show at the Town Hall to showcase our designs.

The clothes will be made from thrift clothes and we’ll cut them up, accessorize and produce our own lines. We are looking for young people with an interest in fashion to take part in this project. No experience with machines or sewing necessary. It’s an exciting project and a little holiday fun. For more information about the project you can email me at: [email protected].

Neale-Wade Academy was well prepared for the royal visit of Princess Anne on January 21st. I personally felt it was such an honour to have such a respected figure coming to our small town to indulge in the work of the children and teaching staff. The visit was based upon the improvements seen at the Academy over the past few years. I think we can safely say we are on a positive path and doing our country proud.

Cambridgeshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Sir Graham Bright, will be holding a surgery in March on September 22nd from 2pm-4pm –

venue to be confirmed. Appointments are for 15 minutes and are on a first come first serve

basis, although they must be booked in advance. To make an appointment call 0300 333 3456 or email:

[email protected]

I hope everyone is enjoying their new year, with prospects of snow... what more could you ask for? I wish all year 13 students good luck with their UCAS applications. I hope you all get the offers you are hoping for.

20Twenty Productions have been a music hub to ‘The Big Music Project’ for a year now, and recent news shows the dedication of the young people is paying off. In February four young people are performing at the 02 Arena to showcase their achievements whilst being a part of the music project. They are planning to do a parody of a current pop song and change the lyrics. Also because of the links made there is rumour that two of our young people may be performing at Glastonbury this year. From March to marvellous? Hey sounds fantastic to me.

| Community news

Second Crop and Vocal’ize came together in February 2014. Their music is from all periods, from the 60s right up to present day. Genres played by the group include: Motown, Pop, Reggae, Jazz and Rock. All the music is arranged and produced using MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) files by Alan on the keyboards; with the vocal harmonies giving the group a unique sound. Their gigs since forming include performing at local public houses – all day to a packed audience at the back of the Black Bull Inn, Whittlesey, on Festival Day, Yaxley Beer Festival and various other local community events.

BackgroundSecond Crop started as an idea in 2008/9 when Keith and Alan were talking about forming a vocal group. In the 1960s and 70s they were former members of a Whittlesey band called The Mayze which rehearsed and performed the occasional gig at The Ram in Whittlesey.

In the late 60s the band signed up with a big UK agency, which brought work all over the UK; including Rebecca’s Night Club in Birmingham where most of the household names you hear today started their musical careers. The band split-up in 1970 after supporting acts such as: Desmond Decker, Mac Arthur Park, Mungo Jerry, Eddie Flanogan and many others. In 2012 with Keith on vocals and Alan on keyboards/vocals Second Crop was formed. After trying to find a female vocalist in January 2014 Vocal’ize responded to their advertisement on a local web site for musicians. Vocal’ize started singing together in 2013. Made up of Lady Ska (Sharon), Cem’ize (Clare) and Ms T (Trudy) who all come from a variety of singing backgrounds including: Jazz, Reggae, Ska, Soul and Gospel. Between them they’d previously supported acts such as: Blazing Squad, Selector, Bad manners, Laurel Aitken – The God father of Ska.

Fifty Shades of Grey

February is set to be a great month for quality film, with some exciting releases to look forward to. The one everyone is talking about has to be Fifty Shades of Grey; the big screen adaption of the erotic novel by EL James first published in 2011. Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson take the lead roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. Ana is a literature student

whose life changes forever when she meets the charismatic and handsome billionaire Christian Grey. However, Grey is tormented and driven by a need to control everything around him. Fifty Shades of Grey is released on Friday February 13th, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Don’t miss your chance to see the film that will be on everyone’s radar this spring. Another eagerly awaited February release is The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. The first film, released in 2012, was a surprise box office hit grossing nearly $137million worldwide. The sequel returns us to India where the unusual retirement home has been growing from strength to strength. Plenty of familiar faces return, including Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy, and there are some fresh additions to bolster an already great cast, including Richard Gere. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is released on February 26th. Other releases to lookout for this month include sci-fi epic Jupiter Ascending and Martin Luther King biopic Selma, both of which are released on February 6th. Selma, which stars David Oyelowo in the title role, has received lots of attention as America recently celebrated Martin Luther King Day. Jennifer Aniston stars as a woman with a chronic pain condition in Cake – released February 20th – and there is time travelling drama for the teens in Project Almanac – released February 13th.

Broken or Damaged Windows?Faulty Hinges, Handles or Locks?

Want The Latest Energy Saving Glass?All Glazing Backed By Our

5 Year Manufacturers Guarantee

Priority Freephone 0800 61 21118

...we make saving money perfectly clear...

STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING?Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Mark Sherwood feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have

struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Whittlesey, Eastrea & Coates areas and Mark is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal

satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much

a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Mark a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

March Badminton Club

| Spotlight on clubs By Andrew Smith

In its 68th year March badminton club has a great sense of tradition. Current Chairman Shona Kent has in her possession the original minutes from the very first meeting of the club, held at Ye Olde Griffin Hotel on Wednesday October 29th, 1947. In pristine condition the minutes set out the rules of the club, nights of play, how members were to be charged a subscription of 10 shillings, the number of members was to be limited to 25 and that Mr J H Burn would become the clubs first Chairman. Membership of the club today stands at 30 and Shona explained how the club has updated its subscription policy to better reflect the times, she said: “We’ve modernised the club when it comes to membership. “We always used to pay an annual subscription, and you paid for the year. But because things are changing now and you get a lot more people working shifts and so on, we decided to introduce the idea that you can be a member but pay as you play. “It’s about encouraging more people to play and it means if you don’t play much you’ve not wasted an annual subscription.” There is a varied range of ages and abilities at the club and members play socially as well as having the option of joining one the clubs league teams. Committee member Fiona Denchfield explained the set up of the clubs competitive

teams, she said: “We’ve got two mixed teams and two men’s teams (an A and B team for each). “We play in the Hunts and Peterborough League, and the matches are from October to April. “The number each teams plays depends on the number of teams in the division. For example, I play on one of the mixed teams and there are only four teams in our division, so we are playing six matches this year; three home and three away.” March badminton club holds its match nights on a Friday at the Neale-Wade Sports Hall, although match times can vary when they have to travel. In addition to league matches the club hosts an annual inter-team tournament, the Burn Cup – presented by Mr J Burn, the clubs first chairman – which has been contested since 1958. The club holds its social club night every Tuesday during the season at Neale-Wade Sports Hall from 7-9.30pm and if you want to join, Shona explained how you can, she said: “They can call me (number below) or they can come up to the club any Tuesday from 7pm onwards. “We always welcome new members and people can just come to a club night or ring up and we’ll arrange to meet them. It is a club for people who play badminton or played in the past who want to play socially and possibly competitive badminton – it’s not a class.”
