Dear Swanage! We have another full magazine for you this month with several articles of interest. There are also some great events coming up… with “The Southwest Over 50’s Lifestyle Show” which is happening on 18th April. Don’t miss the Rock Around the Sixties Show on May 5th at the Mowlem Theatre. There is a superb Kingston to Kimmeridge Jurassic Jaunt for those feeling fit and wanting to get out in the fresh air. The Purbeck Chess Club is looking for more players from amateur to expert and there are many other Purbeck events listed on pages 20-21. There is a lot to see and do, in and around our beautiful town of Swanage! Inside The Swanage Oracle there are of course all of our local trades and business people who would love to hear from you. Categories range from granite stone kitchen tops to computer services and carpenters, to domestic cleaners and car MOTs and exhausts, from blinds and electricians to fitted furniture and animal feed. All can easily be found in our useful index on page 22. There are some editorials too which give you more information about the services some of the companies provide. This is an ideal little booklet to keep by the phone, after you have read it. You never know when you may need some help! Stephen and I enjoy putting the magazine together for you each month. If there is anything you would like us to add that you feel would be beneficial, please feel free to call or email. We look forward to hearing from you! Very Best Wishes,

Sunday 5th May 2013 - PB Entertainment present
Rock Around the Sixties featuring The New Honeycombs and Walk Right Back
The Honeycombs burst onto the pop scene with the worldwide hit number one “Have I The Right” in 1964 followed by another Howard and Blakely composition “That’s The Way” followed by other hits “Is It Because” and the Ray Davies penned “Something Better Beginning”. The New Honeycombs have toured with one of the founder members and now are on tour in their own right in The Rock Around The Sixties Theatre Tour recreating authentic live music sounds of the Sixties and reflecting The Honeycombs hits. The current line up is: Angela Rose (lead vocals) carrying on the tradition started by Honey Lantree of an attractive female in the band. Paul Bonner (drums/lead vocals) formerly with singles/album band Katch 22 and also worked with the Easybeats, Wayne Fontana and was Smokie’s booking agent in the 70s. John Quinn (lead guitar/lead vocals) formerly with Mersey Band The Fourmost. John brings musical excellence, a Liverpool accent and a touch of humour to an event. Jeff Malin (bass guitar/vocals) has played as a session musician on many hits and has also backed stars such as Dusty Springfield and Lulu. In Walk Right Back, A Tribute to the Everly Brothers, we are pleased to be able to offer this celebration of the songs of the Everlys. The vocal talent of Alan and Stuart recreate the haunting vocal harmony that was the brother’s trademark. All the bestknown hits are included in the show, which is sure to bring flooding back, the dance party atmosphere of 60’s America.

A man of experience on the merger Robert Talbot, Poole Hospital’s Medical Director and experienced surgeon, explains how the proposed merger of the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals and Poole Hospital NHS foundation trusts will provide even better healthcare in Dorset. “Should the merger go ahead, we will not only sustain vital services for patients but provide even better care. There are increasing expectations for consultantled care, seven days a week, which are not sustainable on both sites. The merger will allow us to unify or centralise some services that we currently duplicate, while providing as muc h as we can on both sites so that patients don’t have to travel unnecessarily. “We want to provide the best emergency care to patients with urgent surgical problems, by giving the surgeons sufficient dedicated time, and the necessary support services, to treat patients with an acute surgical need at any time of day or night. There is good evidence that patients have a better outcome after some complex operations if their team carries out the procedure frequently.
hope that our patients – and their families – will understand these benefits even if there is a need to travel further for some parts of their care. Any proposed changes will not be developed until after merger, and with engagement from patients and clinicians and full public consultation. “In the years to come I would like patients to say that they would recommend the new trust to family and friends.” You can read more from Robert Talbot and about the proposed merger at: http://213.106.147.101/future/?page_id=440 If you have a question about your local hospitals, let us know. We will try to answer the most common ones over the coming months. You can email us at: communications@poole.nhs.uk or communications@rbch.nhs.uk Find out more at www.poole.nhs.uk or www.rbch.nhs.uk
“Into the future, we would want to maintain routine surgery, outpatients and diagnostic tests on both sites, so most of our patients will continue to go to the same hospital for all or much of their care. “If the proposed changes mean improved access to specialist care and better outcomes, we

How to get there: - Grid Reference; SY 943793. The walk starts at the car park at the entrance to Encombe Estate. Head up into Kingston by turning right just after Corfe Castle village and turn right at the sharp left-hand bend at the Scott Arms. Park in the car park at the end of the tarmac road after (2/3 mile). Information:- No toilets here but there are in Kimmeridge at the Clavell’s café/shop and at Kimmeridge Bay. As you leave the car park, do not go left through the entrance to Encombe House but carry on up the track. Continue to bear left along the track and onto the grassy path until you go through the large metal gate and reach ridge the top of the Ridgeway. You are now at Heaven’s Gate and this is written on the small gate to your left. Turn right here and proceed along the Ridgeway until you drop down to the road (1 mile).

Turn left, through the gate, and follow the coast path, past the ‘Nodding Donkey’ oil extraction site and follow the path onto a large expanse of grass with Clavell’s Tower ahead Proceed to the right corner, along the path and past the toilets on your left to meet a tarmac road (250 metres).

At the top you will pass the new Clavell’s Tower, moved 80 feet back from the cliff edge to avoid it falling into the sea. Follow the coast path for 1 ½ miles until meeting a stile to your left at Rope Lake Head. Go over this stile and head up to Swyre Head, taking take to keep left to follow the signs and not turn right along the track. This is quite a steep climb at the end but it is the last one and the views are worth it! You are now at Swyre Head. Proceed straight ahead towards the wall with the woods to the left and follow the path down to the car park (2/3 mile). Jurassic Jaunts

Money may be a bit tight sometimes but that doesn’t mean that the fun has to stop. Indeed it can mean the complete opposite. Think of the times you’ve had in your life that have been great. Have they always been the ones that have involved money? Not necessarily. Read on for some simple ideas that you can do alone or with your friends and family that cost little or nothing but could bring a great deal of pleasure. Dig out some cards or board games. When did you last sit down and play draughts, or crib? Traditional games are just that - traditional because they stand the test of time. Google the rules if you don’t know how to play - there’s no excuse! Don your wellies, make a little flask of tea and go out for a good old stomp across the beach or if you’re not lucky enough to live near the coast, a local field or nature reserve. There are always places to walk. Get the wind through your hair and aim to be out for a good part of the day. You should sleep better at night too. Check out local galleries and museums. Often these are free and they can hold a good range of interesting exhibits. When the weather gets nicer, stick a tent up in your garden and ‘go camping’ for the night! Grab some pencils or paints and just draw for the pleasure of it. Even if the end result isn’t going to be put into the Tate just the act of putting pen (or brush) to paper is rather therapeutic.
