Dear Poole Residents, We are coming to my favourite time of year, the summer. I love nothing better than to sit in the garden with a cup of coffee listening to our beautiful English bird songs. It is also great to be able to go out and see new places, visit friends and enjoy some space, whether it is by our amazing coastline with some of the best beaches in England, the New Forest in all its splendor and magnificent wildlife or in the countryside, we have it all here on our doorstep. Daichi, The Dashing Dude, our new Dorset Directories Campervan took us to the rolling hills of the Purbecks this month, to see Dinosaur Footprints! What a great day out that was. Good family fun at its best. I do hope you enjoy reading about our exploits, it is just for fun and we hope it gives you some ideas for yourself. We live such busy, hectic lives, it is good to balance it with some time out and good company.

Brownsea Open Air Theatre 2019 Brownsea Open Air Theatre’s compelling production of Shakespeare’s Richard III promises to be a memorable experience for audiences this summer. The military skills of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, have helped to put his elder brother, Edward, on the throne. However, jealousy and resentment cause Richard to seek the throne for himself, using deception, manipulation and multiple murders to achieve his goal. Through a series of twists and turns his plotting soon has tumultuous consequences, both for himself and for England… This breath-taking production has plenty of stunning and unexpected effects that will keep audiences gripped throughout the evening. A powerful and very experienced cast, lead by Tim Fearon, as the charismatic Richard, brings the highest quality theatrical experience to Dorset this summer. The Director, Neil Mathieson, won acclaim for his production of The Tempest in 2015 and his imaginative
invention soars to new heights in this depiction of one of Shakespeare’s most controversial creations. The magic of the evening begins as soon as you embark on the ferry trip from Poole Harbour to Brownsea island. Regular patrons relish the opportunity to picnic in idyllic surroundings whilst catching glimpses of the island wildlife – red squirrels, deer and peacocks. The professional raked auditorium provides excellent views from every seat and audiences are soon caught up in the drama that unfolds. At the end of the performance your journey home under the stars is a fitting close to a wonderful evening. Dates: July 24th – August 9th Venue: Brownsea Island, Poole Harbour, Dorset Tickets (includes return boat fare from Poole Quay): £25.00 Available at www.brownsea-theatre.co.uk Email:boxoffice@brownsea-theatre.co.uk Phone: 07845 782924

But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, 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. Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Poole area and
manager Justin Friel agrees that this 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 as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Thousands descend on Lulworth Castle for Dorset Blind Association’s annual Motor Show Thousands visited Lulworth Castle last month to support Dorset Blind Association’s annual Motor Show which took place on Sunday 12th May. This hugely successful and well attended event showcased over 180 cars in the motor display and welcomed over 3,000 general public visitors, raising an incredible £8,285.70 for the local sight loss charity! This prestigious event, now in its fifth year was held within the picturesque Lulworth Estate courtesy of James Weld DL, who is the charity’s President. The event set motorists out on a 20 mile tour around the Dorset countryside, following in convoy, before returning to Lulworth to display their beautiful motors at the Castle Showground. The event saw thousands of local supporters, holiday makers and car enthusiasts descend on the Castle throughout the day, creating an incredible community buzz. The Lulworth Castle Motor Show was open to the public free of charge and had something for all ages to enjoy; a range of local stalls selling handmade goods and local produce,
entertainment from the Gugge Band, a kids area with bouncy castle, face painting and an exclusive visit from the ever popular Peppa Pig! Attendees enjoyed relaxing in the afternoon sun with refreshments from The Fizz Tin, Hitch n Hop, The Heavenly Crepe, The Falafel Den and Dorset Catering Services, who also supplied the refreshments before the Dorset Tour to the car owners. Jan Jones, event attendee and owner of The Fizz Tin, said, ‘What a perfect day! We felt so lucky to be involved once again with this magnificent car show. An excellent turnout! The visitors seemed to love the new food and refreshment area too, enhanced by the beautiful weather and backdrop of Lulworth Castle. Incredibly well organised, with the friendliest charity staff and volunteers! Congratulations on a wonderful event for the most worthwhile of causes.’ To find out more information about Dorset Blind Association and future events, please visit their website www.dorsetblind.org.uk

Talking about Wildlife...
The Underwater World Whether you’re one minute away from the beach or one hour, for many of us, living so close to the sea is one of the best things about living in Dorset. Already this year, our marine conservation team have been finding exciting and unusual things washed up on our beaches at low tide. The ‘furrowed crab’ was a great find with it being the first recording of this species for Kimmeridge. This crab is also a ‘climate change indicator species’ as we’re seeing them spread further north, in line with our seas warming up. Other seashore species which have been spreading eastwards into Dorset include the ‘toothed topshells’. These sea snails are common further west but have grown from none at all in the early 2000s to being a common find at Kimmeridge. The small cushion starfish has also become common at Kimmeridge since the first sighting in 2014, and the exotic-looking anemone shrimp that lives within the stinging tentacles of the snakelocks anemone, has also increased in number in recent years. This year, World Oceans Day is celebrating our oceans, encouraging everyone to get out and explore their nearest coastline. You could take part in a 2-minute beach clean, try some rockpooling, or even see what rainbow colour wonders lie in the gardens beneath the seas with DWT’s snorkel trail at Kimmeridge. You Cushoned Starfish Photo: Julie Hatcher

could take a special Fleet Explorer Cruise boat trip on 8th June, exploring the marine life living in the Fleet Lagoon at Chesil, or join us for a dolphin watch from the cliff tops at Kimmeridge. For DWT events: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/events For the snorkel trail and the Fine Foundation Wild Seas Centre at Kimmeridge: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/wild-seas-centre Top three things to look for this summer on the coast: 1. Seahorses: There have been an unusual amount of seahorses washed up on beaches this year. This could be a good indicator that we have a healthy population in Dorset. Let us know if you find one! 2. Cushion starfish: In rockpools, the cushion star glides along on its myriad tiny tube-feet, as if sliding on ice. This small relative of star fish feeds by everting part of its stomach through its mouth to digest dead and decaying animals and seaweed. 3. Flat periwinkle: Look for the flat periwinkle in seaweedy pools. They range in colour from sunshine yellow, through burnt orange to chocolate brown and are easy to spot amongst the sea wrack fronds they graze on. The yellow shells are particularly easy to spot, looking like discarded sweetcorn kernels! By Sally Welbourn

Wills, Property Protection Trusts and Lasting Power of Attorneys We discuss the difference between legal professionals and the benefits of home visits for clients.
We are often asked what is the advantage of using a member of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (SWW) over a more conventional high street solicitor. There are many good reasons, here are just a few: 1. Members of SWW are fully trained specialists in the field of will writing and estate planning. All have professional indemnity insurance, are regulated and adhere to the SWW code of practice. 2. Members also provide clients with the convenience of attending them in their own home and at a time that is suitable. 3. Taking instructions in the privacy of the client’s home is not only about convenience. In the absence of such a
service many people who need a Will or Power of Attorney’s would go without if they were housebound, elderly or frail and could not get to a high street solicitor.
As a member of SWW, Dorset & Wight Wills has a totally transparent pricing policy. Our prices are clearly shown in all our adverts and we will send you a full pricelist with confirmation of your FREE home visit appointment. We offer various packages to make the whole process of getting your affairs in order both simple and cost effective. It is estimated that 67% of people in the UK do not have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney in place. With almost 1 million people living with dementia and the total growing yearly, perhaps now is the time to call Dorset & Wight Wills on 01202 065953 or 01983 623900.
Do you want to protect your family and loved ones? Probably the most important documents you will ever own. Wills & Power of Attorneys - £140 each
Special Offers: Complete Lasting Power of Attorney package for a couple. Includes all FOUR LPAs. £530 (A saving of £30)
Complete Lasting Power of Attorney package for a single person. Includes BOTH LPAs. £270 (A saving of £10)

Protect Up To £1 Million From Inheritance Tax Reduce Your Tax Bill By Planning Ahead Inheritance Tax (IHT) can take a huge bite out of your estate – 40 per cent. Most people would rather give their hard-earned savings to their loved ones instead. But you can use government tax reliefs to reduce your IHT liability. HMRC rules enable you to leave up to £1 million tax-free. You just need to plan ahead – and carry over any unused tax reliefs. How To Leave £1 Million Tax-Free You can leave £325,000 with no IHT liability. Add to that property relief on the next £125,000 (£150,000 in 2019/20 and £175,000 in 2020/21). That’s £450,000/£475,000/£500,000 free from IHT. Bequests between spouses are tax-free. So unused reliefs can be passed to the surviving spouse. That means you can claim two sets of reliefs up to £500,000 – a total of £1 million free from IHT.
More Tax Reliefs And Exemptions Various other reliefs and exemptions enable you to pass money to loved ones year-byyear without tax penalty: • Potentially Exempt Transfers (PETs) – but you must remain alive for at least seven years afterwards or they will be included in your estate • your Annual Exemption – £3,000 per individual per tax year (and you can carry forward an unused exemption from the previous year) • IHT-free gifts – within certain rules.

The Dorset Directories Camper Van Daichi, otherwise known as “The Dashing Dude”, our new Dorset Directories Campervan, sees himself as a young, playful yet rather debonair kind of guy, so when he decided to take us to see the Dinosaur Footprints in the Purbecks, we were rather surprised. How can anything be that old!? (I did not look in the mirror this morning…) How on earth can these footprints be engraved for so long in the hard Purbeck stone? What a feat of nature. Our Jurassic Coastline is packed with amazing history for us to explore and marvel at, and Daichi could not wait to get us there. Dashing along the country roads, bouncing over the hills with magnificent views over the rolling countryside, Daichi was in his element. He is so glad he travelled over thousands of miles of terrain to finally arrive on our beautiful English soil. The footprints can be found at Keats

Daichi serves up lunch... with a view! Quarry along the Priest’s Way on the Purbeck Coastline. Can you believe that these dinosaurs roamed our land some 140 million years ago! (Maybe I do not feel so bad about my age after all.) Yes, that long ago and we can still see their footprints today, fossilized in the rock. It is thought that this was a shallow lagoon where these brachiosaurs (translated as “arm lizard”) would gather to drink together. They were long necked plant eating dinosaurs, around 50 tonnes each, or five times the weight of a modern elephant, and measured more than 25 metres from nose to tail. Wow, that’s BIG! The environment was very different then too and shows the ever-changing climate that we live in. It is believed that this area was a sub-tropical wilderness of coastal forests and swamps. Over time, the footprints left in the soft mud were covered over by layers of rock and preserved as the fossils we

29 see today. Hayden had great fun trying to step from footprint to footprint, to literally follow in the dinosaurs’ footsteps. He finished up leaping (boys…) across at full stride, but even that was not enough. These dinosaurs were massive. Quarrymen Kevin Keates and Trevor Haysom discovered this amazing find in 1997 when the site was still being worked and Daichi is certainly glad they did. What a find! The famous Dancing Ledge is nearby and Daichi was all ears when he found out that this pool was blasted out of the rocks by a former headmaster of Dunford School, so that the pupils could swim in the summer. The school sadly no longer exits but its salty water pool enjoyed by thousands over the years is a playful legacy it has left behind. It so happens that Hayden, our son had been doing his Duke of Edinburgh Award with his school, and by chance he had done his expedition in the Purbecks with his friends. They had walked for two full days, carrying all their equipment, from the car park at the Sandbanks
One small step for a dinosaur... Chain Ferry to Corfe Castle where they camped for the night, then onto Swanage the next day. They looked pretty exhausted, but all were smiling when they arrived triumphant at their destination. I am sure the dinosaurs would have done this route in no time, with those powerfully long, yet graceful legs. It is fascinating to think that these boys and girls in 2019 took a very similar route to those amazing, extinct creatures of yesteryear, some 140 million years ago. Now there is a thought… Daichi was very proud he took us to somewhere we had never been before. That is his purpose, with his chirpy step and tooting horn. Where will he take us next, I wonder?

Parkstone Detachment: Dorset Army Cadet Force I’d like to take a moment to thank the Publishers of The Poole Directory for giving me the opportunity to share the news about Parkstone Detachment, Army Cadet Force. This month the ACF had a community week to give back and help our community. We hosted a ‘Heart Start’ first aid course at our Detachment which covered; first response, recovery position, CPR, choking and bleeding. This was a free course to the public to share life saving skills whilst also raising awareness and money for the ‘Meningitis Now’ charity. The charity acts as one loud voice to raise awareness of the disease to reduce the severity of the outcome and to provide aid and support to those already affected. Meningitis is an infection of the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord (meninges). It can cause life threating blood poisoning (septicaemia) and result in permanent damage to the brain or nerves to which its symptoms mimic the common cold such as high temperature, being sick, a headache and a rash that does not fade when a glass is rolled over it (but this will not always develop). This cause is close to my heart as I lost my older brother at the age of 4 years old to the disease so I became a Young Ambassador for the charity in 2012 to raise awareness to try and prevent people losing their loved ones. Tonight our invited guests completed the night with the knowledge to potentially save someone’s life and a certificate of attendance, Jo Daniels said “it was a short time well spent to have the potential to save a life” with another from Andrew Ward adding “it was a well-constructed course”. We also passed our new Basic Cadets on their first aid APC syllabus training which allows them to progress to higher levels of education within the Army Cadet Force. The evening was a success and we continue to fundraise for Meningitis Now. Also this month, our Cadets attended the week long Spring camp which involved blank firing, live firing, Fieldcraft exercises and spending a night out in the field. The three star cadre were also out in the field where they conducted
Cdt Sgt Erin Blake receiving her new rank slides in the field night recces, section and platoon tactics along with a platoon attack on the enemy positions which also involved smoke pyrotechnics to add to the realism and enjoyment. During the conclusion of the three star Fieldcraft exercise, Cadet Corporal Erin Blake was promoted in the field to Cadet Sergeant by the Acting Commandant, Lieutenant Colonel Garrett whilst also completing her three star APC syllabus at the same time. Blake’s promotion was well deserved and she has taken on more responsibility within the Detachment while she ventures into her four star training. This was the first camp since the merger of both C and D company to form East company and some started out with mixed feelings but all left united and with new friendships. Think what we do with our Cadets is great and want to know more? Want to get more out of life? Then join the ACF as a Cadet or as an Adult Volunteer.

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot
Expanding your horizons Summer, sunshine and strawberries, June is a truly wonderful month! In this time of plentiful growth we take a look at making the most of your waste clippings by turning them into lovely rich compost to use next year, and also how to make the most of every inch of your space.
Jobs for June :-
• Take off the side shoots from tomato plants to avoid them becoming too bushy and overburdened with fruit. Water regularly. • Garlic that was planted in the Autumn should be maturing now. Lift when the leaves start to shrivel and leave to dry in a warm spot. • Keep planting - the moist soil, higher temperatures and long days are ideal growing conditions. French beans, courgettes and salad crops can all be sown now. • Watch out for pests! Think about protecting brassicas before caterpillars start to become a problem. Every year it amazes me how the plants respond so dramatically to the arrival of the warm weather. Anything sown or planted out in May seems to positively leap out of the ground and shoot skywards, in many cases quickly catching up with earlier sowings! Of course the lawn is no exception and if you don’t already have a composting system in place then why not set one up now and make use of some of those endless grass clippings? Ideally you want to have two (or even three) compost bins so that when one is ready to use for the garden you have another filling up and rotting down. You can buy allsorts of nifty looking, ready made, compost bins - some even have clever devices that make it easy to turn the whole bin to help the waste break down - but you don’t need anything fancy. You can just start a compost heap in an out of the way corner, enclosing it with old pallets, or wire mesh wrapped around four stakes if you want to keep it looking a little neater. So what should you compost?
Well any dead organic matter will decompose naturally but you should aim for a good mix of ‘green’ and ‘brown’ ingredients. Lawn trimmings, veg leaves and peelings provide the green element and you should add a reasonable balance of brown items such as shredded paper, straw, eggshells and even the contents of your vacuum cleaner bag. Turning the heap occasionally will accelerate the breakdown and covering with an old carpet when it is full will also help. Leave for several months and you should have some great compost! June is also the time of year when it is easy to start to run out of space on your plot. Everything puts on amazing growth spurts and you are suddenly left wondering where you are going to plant out those tomatoes that you’ve been nurturing in the greenhouse, or finding you’ve no room for the cabbages that you’d like to be eating later in the year. Time to expand your horizons and make full use of containers and of your borders. Look at the different varieties of lettuce and salad crops - many of these, along with cabbages, can add a splash of decorative, coloured foliage to your borders (and be eaten too!!!). Grow bags are wonderful for crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. They’ll be happy in a sunny spot on your patio but do remember to water and feed regularly. Larger pots can house courgettes and pumpkins, with the exotic looking flowers adding a bright splash of colour. Even hanging baskets can get in on the grow your own act! Look for suitable strawberries or tomatoes and you could be treated to a bumper crop of luscious fruit tumbling down from above.

Peter Wintle of The Royal Motor Yacht Club states: “We are extremely happy to have Axent as our sponsor for the Twilight Series. The club is constantly striving to gain new racers and this offers a good incentive as well as promoting an exceptional local business.” Axent will be exhibiting a selection of marine apparel on West Quay at the Poole Harbour Boat Show on 7th – 9th June. Alternatively, the company welcomes visitors to its showroom/workshop at Benridge Park, Poole.

Holmans Donate State-of-the-art Television to Forest Holme Hospice Holmans, a home appliance shop based in Wimborne & Ferndown, have donated a brand-new 65-inch Panasonic television worth £1499 to Forest Holme Hospice, Poole. As part of their community and charity engagement, Holmans have recently run a competition which saw Forest Holme Hospice receive one of Holmans’ latest 65-inch Panasonic televisions. Holmans encouraged local groups, organisations, clubs and charities to apply to win the television – specifying why they would benefit from the free TV. After carefully reviewing all of the organisations that applied, the Holmans team decided to donate the television to Forest Holme Hospice in Poole. Forest Holme Hospice provides end of life care and support to more than 1,000 people each year with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses across Poole, Wimborne and the Isle of Purbeck. The hospice has a team of specialist doctors, nurses, counsellors and care teams who provide support for adults and their families in a variety of settings.
Charlie James, Fundraiser at Forest Holme Hospice, said: “We’re very grateful to Holmans for this generous donation. I’m sure the patients will appreciate having a new television to watch films and TV series on – especially on such a big HD screen!” Michael Gray of Holmans, said: “Forest Holme Hospice was everyone’s favourite choice when deciding which charity the TV should be donated to and I’m glad to see it go to a good home. We hope it will bring happiness to the patients at Forest Holme.” As well as holding this competition for charity, Holmans also hold regular competitions for their customers to win the latest cameras, phones, audio equipment and home appliances for free, such as a Blomberg washing machine competition which was run as part of the recent Wimborne BID initiative, Discover Wimborne. For more information on Holmans, visit: www.holmans.uk.com
The new television donated by Holmans will be fitted in the lounge of Forest Holme Hospice where patients and their families can relax and watch their favourite programmes on a brand-new screen.
