Dear Southbourne, Tuckton & Hengsitbury Head! Wow what a great summer we have had! I can honestly say that we have never been down the beach quite so much and been able to make the most of our beautiful Dorset coastline. We have had cousins from Hull in the North East visit us and thoroughly enjoy our breath taking beaches as well as wonderful forestry that we have all on our doorstep. How lucky are we to live here. The Southbourne Link continues to be really popular and we receive hundreds of completed wordsearches each month. The lucky winner last month was Carol Sponselee! Well done to you. Please like us on Facebook. You can find us under The Southbourne Link. If you know of any local events, please let us know and we can promote those for you. We also have a new website www.dorsetpublications. co.uk. I will soon be starting a Nellie, the Dorset Publications Campervan, blog, so you will be able to follow her around and see what antics she is up to! Again if you have any suggestions as to where she could go, do let me know. She likes an adventure! The advertisers inside of our wonderful magazine would love to hear from you. Please mention us when making any calls or bookings. That is really helpful and keeps the magazine alive. The children have now gone back to school and started their next year. Some will have started school for the first time. Do you remember that? Those first few nervous days totally confused and daunting. Or did you embrace it with total confidence? Sadly I didn’t... I remember it well! Then years later I became a teacher. Funny how life is. Wishing you a fantastic September,
Debbie & Stephen Corney

First World War Memorial at All Saints Church, Southbourne
Like many churches, All Saints parish church in Southbourne, Dorset, has a memorial to members of the local community who died in the First World War, 1914-18. The memorial plaque is the focus of remembrance services every year. But what do we know about the names inscribed on it? Who were these young men who gave their lives for their country? Alice Miller has dedicated time to research each of the names on the plaque and find the story behind them. Over the next editions, we will feature one name and their story.
Bertram T. Collier Bertram was the son of Tom George and Annie Collier of Whitfield, Dorchester and was born in De’aar, Cape Colony South Africa. He had three sisters Muriel, Elaine and Beatrice. Probate records show that Bertram gave 17 Wentworth Avenue, Bournemouth as his home address in 1915. Bertram was a 2nd Lieutenant in the 31st Battalion, attached to 25th (Tyneside Irish) Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers. The Tyneside Irish Brigade were made up of 4 Pals Battalions from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and were mostly men of Irish descent. After training they embarked for France arriving January 1916 and headed to the Somme. Advancing to the British front line they had to march over no man’s land and through the German front line to get to their positions. In doing so they were utterly exposed to the enemy machine gun fire and suffered heavy casualties, killed or captured, before they even got to their own front line.
Dawn of the tank at Flers-Courcelette
On July 1st 1916 the Northumberland Fusiliers (Tyneside Irish) fought at La Boiselle. Again the attack led to little success with a very high casualty rate. As they advanced mines blew up increasing the death rate and decimating their division numbers. Bertram’s Battalion were attached to another Division and faced action again at FlersCourcelette (where tanks led the attack in battle for the first time) and other battles on the Somme, where they remained for the rest of the war. Bertram T Collier died on November 5th 1916, he was aged 19.

Back to the Future... Hello Southbourne, Walking along a very busy Southbourne Grove a few Saturdays ago it appeared to me that every other person I passed were using a mobile telephone, something that I could only dream about when I first joined the old Post office telephone service in 1956, also I have often wondered what ever happened to the good old red GPO telephone boxes? Technology has certainly moved on over the years, and it still is, which is a good thing . Along the Grove I came to a building that many people walk past each day little knowing that it was built in 1927 for the Post Office Telegraph Service, the building was once our local Southbourne telephone exchange. In the early days of the telephones, you would lift up your handset to be asked “number please” by the operator who would then put you through, my wife was a part- time GPO telephone operator during the 1960s at Christchurch telephone exchange in Sopers Lane, the building is still there but the exchange has long gone. The old telephone exchange in the Grove holds many memories, as during the 1960s/70s I was employed there as a telephone engineer and covered many telephone exchanges in our area, from New Milton, West Moors, to Swanage, so you can guess that I have seen a few changes over the years including the birth of the Bournemouth International Centre etc. It can be a funny old life at times, as in the 1990s the Southbourne telephone exchange was sold and converted in to eight flats. In 1995 I completed a full circle in my life, when I purchased one of the new flats, so I had returned to where I once worked, you can see that I really do live in the past every day! Here is an example, my bedroom was the place where every day I would have my lunch break, it was once our staff canteen! Of course the old building has changed a great deal, mind you there are one or two things that remind me of the old days, like the front door, the stairs (no carpets) and the iron stair rods. I did venture down to the basement one day to look at the old cable chamber, which did bring back a few memories. It was very dark and just a little bit too creepy for me as I felt that I wasn’t alone, so I didnt hang around! The whole of the ground floor was once the main “Battery Room”, the power supply for the exchange, which is now in use as well known food outlet chain “Subway”. Also at the front of the building facing Southbourne Grove is an iron gate, at one time this was the main enterance to the telephone exchange, there is also a rear enterance from New Park Road. Sadly over the years many of my mates who I worked alongside in the exchange are sadly no longer with us, I have often been asked if the old building is haunted, I just wink and reply “what do you think”? (that’s another story!) As a matter of interest the old Southbourne telephone exchange is now St Michaels Court!
There is also another building not too far away, where back in 1921 just a few years after the end of first world war, twelve ex-servicemen got together and purchased a plot of land in Stamford Road for just one “Uncle” Ron at 21! hundred pounds, to erect an old secondhand wartime Nissan hut, to form a social club to help them get over the horrors of war. On that site in Stamford Road now stands the “Pokesdown and Southbourne Ex-Service Mens Club”, where I have been a member for twenty five years. It’s handy and not too far for me to crawl home after a good night out, only joking. Seriously though there is so much to do, skittles, snooker, golf and fishing sections plus a good food menu which is very reasonably priced. People are unaware that don’t have to be an ex-service person to join the club, pop along and have a look in if your passing. For me the social side is great as there is always plenty of entertainment going on. I first went to the club in the late 1950s with my wife and her Aunty and Uncle one Saturday night to go to a dance. We had a lovely night out, we were staying with them for the weekend, and one good thing was that they only lived a few minutes walk away from the club in Cranleigh Road. The other day I went to revisit the house where we stayed over that weekend, I had a good idea where their house was, but for the life of me could not remember the number. I did recall that directly across the road was once a huge laundry, where I was told they did the washing for the troops in the second world war. My wife’s cousin worked there, again its long gone! The old fish and chip shop was still there, alongside many other shops, and is a busy little shopping centre. As I continued my walk my walk along Cranleigh Road I came to Stourfield Infants school, this did bring back a few memories, it is much bigger today than it was in the 1950s, then of course I was little aware that three of my grandchildren would attend that very same school in a few decades time! I carried on past the school walked under the railway bridge and came to their local pub the “Cranleigh Hotel” a pub that has seen many changes since my first visit. It is now the “Hungry Horse” and as its name refers apart from beer it also serve food, as many of the old pubs do nowadays! It alsohappens to be is one of my daughters “local” where we often meet for a meal. Next month I shall take a short walk to a place where we purchased our first business , little knowing at the time it really would change the course of our lives. Yet another trip down memory lane to Southbourne Crossroads! “Uncle” Ron Hands

Talking about Wildlife...
Love Your Local Heathland Sometimes we can take precious things for granted until we are threatened with losing them. Now is the perfect time of year to stop for a moment and take notice of our heathlands, the seemingly permanent landscape that surrounds us and comes into beautiful bloom at this time of year. With heathland, all is not as it seems. It is not permanent and it does not surround us any more. The historic Great Heath did truly surround the people of south-east Dorset around 200 hundred years ago but over 80% has been lost since 1800. It has been formed by nature and man living in harmony over thousands of years but, if left to itself, would revert to pine and birch woodland. That would mean the end of the rare wildlife that has made heathland its home.
Common and are set to tackle 3 km on Ferndown Common this summer, including waymarking, removing faded posts and clearing vegetation, so that we can balance conservation needs with public use of these special places. Our thanks go to the site owners Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust, Erica Trust (both sites), Dorset County Council and Christchurch and East Dorset Councils (Parley Common). Why not join one of our guided walks to discover a local heath? Coming up: 21st September Wildlife of Lytchett Heath. Or help to protect them? The Great Heath volunteers meet for practical conservation tasks or to help survey wildlife on Wednesdays throughout the autumn.

We hope that they will encourage people Upton Heath Photo: Nicky Hoar to enjoy the amazing and vulnerable wildlife that lives on our heaths and play a part in protecting these special places. They also feature new links to public bridleways that aim to balance horse and mountain bike riding enjoyment while protecting sensitive areas of the heath.

Helping elderly couples stay together for longer When the health problems that so often come with old age rear their ugly heads, most people find that despite their best efforts, they cannot stay in the homes they love and instead are forced into residential care. As a nation, we don’t talk about the devastating effects that separating elderly couples can have on both parties. Fighting against what they feel is an unacceptable status quo, a local business is championing people’s right to receive the care and support they need whilst remaining at home with their loved ones. Mark Muller runs Promedica24 in Bournemouth, the New Forest and surrounding areas. The business offers 24 hour, live-in care services as an alternative to residential care homes. “Normally, elderly couples try to carry on without help until they simply can’t cope. Forced into care, one person leaves behind a safe, familiar
environment, treasured possessions and, of course, the person that they love. It’s heart-breaking. But it can be even worse for those left behind. The void left behind and the sense of guilt at not being able to support their loved one can be physically and mentally damaging. We’re helping people to not only stay at home, but stay together,” explains Mark. Promedica24 is already helping around 30 families in the area. The company’s core value ‘there’s no place like home’ continues to make a very real difference in the lives of those they serve. For more information on the help and support Promedica24 can offer to you and your family, contact Mark Muller on 01202 618400.

Money Saving Tips
Martin
LEWIS :DOOHW :RUNRXW
Go grab your purse or wallet. You need it next to you during the five minutes it’ll take you to read this. However, it should be lucrative. Our wallets are a treasure trove of financial information. One of my party tricks is to take a look at someone’s and save them £100s in minutes – and now I want to do it for you. This is my wallet workout, a self-inspection of contents to save you cash. 1. Pull out your debit card – do you have a winner? A debit card reveals where you bank; and mistakes there are a plenty. Do you pay a monthly fee? If so, work out its annual cost (£15/ month = £180) and then ask yourself if the ‘extras’ the bank gives are worth this. If not, cancel it. Plus, if you were flogged it or told you had to have it, you may be able to reclaim all packaged bank account fees (see www.mse.me/reclaimpackagefees). Does your bank make you happy? If not, then www.FirstDirect.com is worth considering switching to. It’s a fee-free account (as long as you pay in £1,000 a month), pays switchers £100 and has a linked 6% savings account. It’s won every service poll I’ve ever done, with 92% of its customers rating it ‘great’. Or www.Co-operativeBank. co.uk is giving £150, plus up to £5.50 if you qualify for its Everyday Rewards scheme, and 70% of its customers rate it ‘great’. Are you overdrawn? Debit cards can be debt cards too, and sometimes costlier than credit. For small overdrafts, you can switch again to www.FirstDirect.com which gives a £250 0% overdraft, and the £100 switch bonus will help clear some of it. Or the www. Nationwide.co.uk FlexDirect gives a 0% overdraft for the first 12 months. For larger amounts, you can use special 0% credit cards to clear it - see www.mse.me/moneytransfers Do you have savings? If so, use your bank account to max the interest, as some now pay by far the highest interest on savings. The top picks are www.Santander.co.uk’s 123, which pays 3% on up to £20,000 and www.LloydsBank.com’s ClubLloyds, which pays 4% on £4,000-£5,000. There’s also the www.Tsb.co.uk Classic Plus, which pays 5% on up to £2,000, plus up to £5-a-month cashback on contactless purchases. 2. Pull out your photo driving licence – is it valid? A whopping 2.2 million licences have a picture that’s out of date. To check yours, look at section 4b on your photocard licence, it’ll show the expiry date. If you don’t and it’s expired, you risk a fine of up to £1,000. You can renew it online at www.gov.uk/renew-drivinglicence or at the post office. 3. Got a credit card(s) that you pay interest on? STOP It’s possible to save £100s or even £1,000s a year by getting a 0%
balance transfer credit card – that’s where the new card pays off debt on old cards for you, so you owe it instead, but at 0%. This means more of your repayments clear the actual debt rather than just paying the interest, making you debt-free quicker. There’s up to 40 months 0% available with a fee, or 24 months 0% fee-free. My full best balance transfers guide at www. moneysavingexpert.com/bts includes a free eligibility calculator which gives card-by-card odds of which you’re most likely to get – so you can home in on your winner. Savings can be huge, as Victoria tweeted me: “I got my fiancé to transfer his credit card balances to a 0%, saved £1,500 interest.” 4. Do you have a donor card? It’s a big decision, but joining the Organ Donor Register could mean you save or improve up to nine lives. If it’s for you, sign up at www. organdonation.nhs.uk or call 0300 123 23 23. 5. Got a credit card and always repay in full? Make it PAY YOU Every time you use a card, the retailer pays the card firm a transaction fee. With a cashback card, you effectively get this put back in your pocket. As new regulations have cut these fees recently, cashback’s been cut too, yet Amex cards are mostly exempted, so still pay a good whack. The fee-free www.AmericanExpress.com Everyday pays 5% cashback (max £100) for the first three months, then tiered up to 1.25% after. The best non-Amex is http://money.asda.com Mastercard which pays 0.5% cashback (1% in Asda). As Anna tweeted me: “@MartinSLewis Glad I read about Amex cashback card: I’ll get over £200 paid.” Yet only do this if you’ll set up a direct debit to repay IN FULL each month or you’ll pay 22.9% (Amex) or 18.9% (Asda) rep APR interest, which more than wipes the cashback gain. 6. Sign up for a myWaitrose card for FREE daily tea and coffee Get the www.waitrose.com loyalty card – then in most stores you can get a totally free takeaway hot drink, every day from the selfservice machine without buying anything. 7. Not got a credit card…? You’re less protected Pay using a credit card and you get extra protection under the ‘Section 75 law’ – which means buy something costing between £100 and £30,000 on a credit card, and pay for any of it (even 1p) on it, and the card firm’s jointly liable with the retailer for the entire amount. This get-out-of-jail-free card is hugely powerful if the retailer goes bust or won’t play fair, as Michelle found. She tweeted: “Successful Section 75 credit card claim, refunded £125 for non-delivery of phone order, used template on your website, thanks.” P.S.: If you’ve been burnt with credit cards in the past, or have little financial discipline, then ignore this point. Better safe than sorry.

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie
The Dorset Publications Camper Van Good old Nellie. Well she was really excited this month to be taking Hayden to his first ‘Nipper’ Ocean Championships. This a life saving competition in the sea and on the beach for children aged 8-13. We had decided to make a holiday of it and camp for the whole week, down in Exmouth, Devon. So off we set. Everything, including the kitchen sink, all packed in Nellie and totally surrounding Hayden, quite literally, in the back. I love the journey to Devon. Once passed Dorchester I really feel like I am on holiday. A short lunch stop at Lyme Regis and we were truly on our way. Prattshayes National Trust Campsite in Exmouth was where we were heading. On arriving and seeing our ‘plot of land for the week’ we realised we hadn’t booked a space big enough for Nellie’s huge derrière as well as Kombi, Nellie’s rather imposing awning. In fact it is worth noting, that the older campsites, designed some years ago, do not allow space between each plot. In our case the caravan next door had positioned themselves right up to the very outside of their line. In addition to that their canoe was carefully placed

Nellie enjoying the view from the seafront on the opposite side, right at the edge of that line. This was clearly someone who wanted it known... that this was “their land.” We soon realised they were also from ‘the opposition’ of the competition and obviously not to be reckoned with! It was going to be an interesting few days. Due to the position of ‘the caravan next door’ we did get settled but had to have Nellie’s back to the campsite instead of facing everyone, looking like she was sulking! Still girls have their moments as we all know... The staff of the campsite were extremely friendly and helpful. There was a huge barn which was licensed to sell alcohol, had free Wi Fi, some food and Hayden’s favourite, “pick n mix” sweets! Sorted. The first day of the competition was a bit daunting. Hayden was quite clearly stressed with curt comments and long silences. I remember being like that myself, but I have no idea where he gets it from. Even Nellie couldn’t cajole him into smiling much. The “Branksome Chine Surf Life Saving

27 27 Club” which Hayden is a member of, is a great team. I am really impressed with their supportive attitude and winning spirit. After rather a bad board race for Hayden, Dave the coach took him off for a man to man talk. That helped a lot. The following day was better all round and really exciting. Liam Openshaw got a gold, his brother Ryan got a silver and several other medals were won too. Hayden got to the semi finals and then the finals of the sprint and came 6th overall. Not bad at National level. I have to say that running on soft sand is not easy! In fact the 1K run was quite a challenge and many children fell in a heap at the end of that one. Its a good job that Nellie didn’t try as we would have needed mouth to mouth resuscitation! I was out of breath just watching. But we know how fit I am, I do like my chairs and a sit-down afterall. Then there was the Beach Flags race... gradually wheedling down to just two runners to see who is the first to grab the pole out of the sand. Boy that is tough! The most exhilarating part for us was when Hayden took part in the Surf Relay at the end. Liam Openshaw was the swimmer. He had to swim right out
You couldn’t miss the Branksome Chines
Boys lining up for the board relay race to a buoy against the tide, across to another buoy and then swim back in again, some 1000 metres in total. It is quite something to watch. Then Kieran Duffy was the board paddler and he had to paddle for 1500 metres around the course! Hayden was the sprinter at the end and he took his team to the bronze medal position! What a crescendo to finish on. You can imagine the noise... or maybe you don’t want to? It was an amazing two days. Branksome Chine came 8th out of 30 clubs in total! We beat some dedicated Cornish teams (I wonder if any of them were in ‘the caravan next door’?). Dave the coach was ecstatic. Did I spell that right? The children were just incredible and every one of them quite rightly were given a medal for taking part. We spent the next few days a little more relaxedly on the beach, bodysurfing in the waves (Hayden and Stephen that was), playing crazy golf, putting, taking a boat up the River Exe to Topsham and taking a train back to Exmouth, having meals overlooking the beautiful sea and generally having fun. Nellie had a whale of a time. Do forgive the pun! Where will she take us next…? By Debbie Corney

Brass on the Beach:
Vintage Brass comes out to play
High summer in Bournemouth: so Vintage Brass joined holiday makers on the beach at Fisherman’s Walk on Monday, for some sun, sand and sea. Heavy instruments were brought down in the famous cliff top lift which took them back up, after the Band’s seaside frolics. Bournemouth Lifeguards are an important feature of Southbourne, providing a safe area for swimmers between the coloured flags. Brass players were tempted into the sea… but advised of freaky currents by watchful lifeguards, not too far! It was good to know that on future visits to the beach they could swim under the watchful eye of the guys in red and yellow. Band members gathered for coffee later at Café Riva, enjoying wonderful views of Studland and Old Harry Rocks. Vintage Brass took a break from gigs in August: their only holiday in the calendar year, so a good time to ‘come out to play’... August isn’t the best time to travel abroad, so the Band opted for ‘a stay-cation’. Where better than their home town of Bournemouth? At other times the Band gives concerts in aid of Cancer Research UK and local charities, playing in Southbourne churches, Christchurch Priory, Wimborne Minster and Pinewalk Bandstand.

Bournemouth Hospitals, Cherry Tree Nursery, Julia’s House, the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance and Alzheimer’s Research, to name but a few.
As part of the annual Friendship Month campaign, throughout September the local branches will be hosting special events, giving people the opportunity to come together, have fun and try something new.

The Oddfellows is also offering a chance to win a luxury afternoon tea for two and £100 spending money in a free prize draw on its campaign website at www. friendshipmonth.com.
The Oddfellows’ Friendship Month events are open to everyone. Friends really do make the good times better and the hard times easier. Friendships often begin as a result of sharing experiences together, so our events hope to provide opportunities to make new friends in a really enjoyable, relaxed way. Based in Bournemouth and Poole, the Society’s members regularly get together to enjoy social events such as talks and trips out, lunches, quizzes and coffee mornings. We do our best to improve the quality of people’s lives through friendship, care and charity. In recent years we have supported numerous local charities including Forest Holme, Macmillan Caring Locally, Poole and

Gardening Tips
34 34
On Your Plot Herb Gardens
Nature tends to dictate what we do in the garden and sometimes it’s just too late to plant those seeds, too early to prune that bush and incredibly you are already on top of the weeding. So what can you do to fulfil that urge to work the land? Why start a herb garden of course!
Jobs for September :-
• If you are growing pumpkins for Halloween, you need to support the fruit as it swells and raise it up to keep it off the wet ground and deter slugs. Restrict each plant to no more than three fruits. • Clear up finished crops, clean and store any supports or netting for future use. • Keep planting winter lettuces for a supply of fresh leaves right through autumn. • Fancy fresh strawberries next year? Now is a good time to get new plants established. • Add support to Brussels sprouts by drawing up earth around the stems, or using canes. Most activity on your plot is tied to the seasons, but this month we take a look at one project that can be started off at almost any time of the year - your own herb garden. As we’ve taken to growing more and more of our own food so we have found ourselves getting increasingly interested in trying out new recipes to make the most of all those lovely fresh flavours. Recipe books abound in our kitchen and they all have one thing in common - the use of herbs, and what a variety of them there is! Whether you’re looking for a sprig of fresh mint, a handful of rosemary, or some chopped chives what could be better than being able to choose and harvest them right outside your own back door? Choosing the right site for your herb garden is important, and outside your back door is often a good place to start! Planting near the kitchen makes it easy to pop out for a few fresh leaves when you are cooking, and many of us have a patio which can easily become home to a variety of container grown herbs. Herbs can make an
attractive, fragrant and tasty addition to your borders, or you may prefer to opt for a permanent herb bed. If this is the case you will need to give some consideration to containing the growth of some of the more vigorous varieties. This can be done by dividing the bed (a cartwheel design made with bricks is very attractive), or by using pots sunk into the ground. Herbs comprise of both annual plants, that germinate, grow, flower and die within the year, and perennials that will grow on from one year to the next. Whatever you plant, you will need to find out which type it is and the conditions that it favours. The more hardy perennial types such as thyme, rosemary or mint may be happy outside all year round. One of the advantages of using containers is that tender varieties can be moved under cover during the worst of the winter and even tender annuals like basil can have their season extended by lifting plants to pot up and keep on the kitchen windowsill as autumn approaches. Most types of herb can be raised from seed, but for a quicker start browse the farmers market, garden centre, or even car boot sales for plants that are ready to go. One of the great things about a herb garden is that it can be continually evolving. Look upon it as just the start of a collection, that will grow with time. Adding a new variety can be as simple as picking up a plant that takes your fancy on a trip out and adding a new pot to your collection. As well as using herbs fresh from the garden, you can dry leaves by hanging in bunches and then storing in an airtight container, or use ice cube trays to freeze chopped up leaves with a drop of water. Store the cubes in polythene bags, great for adding to a stew in the middle of winter!

Julia’s House launches Dorset Chip Shop Challenge Chips with everything - including fundraising! Throughout September Julia’s House is encouraging Dorset chip shops to sign up to its Chip Shop Challenge and donate 5p for every bag of chips sold. Ten chippies have already pledged to support the Dorset and Wiltshire children’s hospice charity. Participating shops will display a poster in their window so that customers will know they are helping to raise money for local families caring for a life-limited child. Fred Capel, owner of Chez Fred in Westbourne said: “‘We thought it was a great idea and are delighted to be able to support Julia’s House.” Other shops joining the challenge are: The Fish Place, Marlboro’s, Fish and Fritz, Bennett’s and The Seagull in Weymouth, Chuckles Chippy in Poole and Christchurch, Fish Tales in Boscombe, Relentless fish and chip van and Skate
fish and chips of Poole. Jacqui Greenhaf of Julia’s House said: ”We have had a great response and want to say a big thank you to the shops taking part. We hope more will come on board and spare a few pennies a portion to help us.” Julia’s House is dedicated to providing practical and emotional support for families caring round the clock for a very poorly child. Its nurses and carers are there for the whole family offering frequent and regular support in their own homes in the community or at the Julia’s House hospice in Corfe Mullen. The charity is due to open a second hospice in Devizes, Wiltshire in spring 2017. Any shops who would to take part in the Chip Shop Challenge should ring the community fundraising team on 01202 644220. For an updated list of shops taking part, go to juliashouse.org.
