4 Dear Neighbours, May, what a wonderful time of year. Gorgeous flowers, Edition 109 that feeling of anticipation of a good summer to come, maybe a holiday and time to get out in the garden with friends. Well that is what we all hope anyway! It definitely is a time for spring cleaning, throwing away those all Debbie & Stephen Corney unwanted items, tidying with our son Hayden up, replenishing, renewing and generally starting some projects. What better place than to look in your Ferndown & West Parley Directory to find someone who could help you? The little glossy magazine is full of local trades people and businesses with skills that could make your life a bit easier and take away the stress of you doing it yourself, giving you more time for you, your family and friends. As always the handy glossary at the back gives you all there is inside. If there is a trade not represented here, that you want to see, then please let me know. If you have a business and want to promote to the local community, just pick up the phone. I would love to hear from you. As you know we also like to promote local events and activities and we do this for free. If you have a club or society that needs some extra support or has an event coming up then please let me know. This month’s prize wordsearch is a meal for two at the King’s Arms in Longham. Do fill in your form, you may well be the lucky winner. Maxine Almond was the extremely lucky winner of the picnic bench! Out of over 600 entries she was picked. We wish her a great summer in the garden! We would also like to thank “Reformed Plastics” for their very generous prize. Wishing you all a really good month of May,
Welcome...

Community News
West Parley Neighbour Car 1,000th Trip On Friday 17th April, Elizabeth Chinn from New Road, West Parley was taken to the Salvation Army lunch club in Winton, where she enjoyed some company with like-minded people and a very appetising lunch. On her return home she was greeted by Kate Ward (Chairman), Clive Butcher (Co-ordinator and Derek Kearey (Treasurer) of West Parley Neighbour Car scheme to celebrate that she was the one thousandth trip undertaken by the scheme since its formation in September 2013. Elizabeth was delighted to receive a very pretty plant to mark the occasion. The scheme operates for West Parley residents only over the age of 55 who are unable to get out and about and provides a lifeline to take them to
hospitals, doctor’s surgeries and other health care services as well as social visits to clubs in the area. If you can spare couple of hours a week to become one of our drivers, we would like to hear from you. For further information about West Parley Neighbour Car contact Kate Ward on 01202 577319.

Here For You
when it matters most Getting Married
Care Fee Protection When an individual requires long term care, their home and savings may be used to fund it. We can help you understand this complex area and provide advice on what steps can be taken now to protect your hard earned wealth.
You’ll need to put plans in place to ensure your spouse is looked after should the worst happen. Any existing Last Will and Testament is probably invalidated by your marriage, so prompt action is recommended.
The Birth of a Child There’s plenty to think about when you become a parent, but high on the agenda should be reviewing your Will to include your child as a EHQH¾FLDU\ DQG appoint a guardian to look after your child if anything happens to you.
Losing a Parent
Getting Divorced
Along with all the personal issues a bereavement can bring, there are also a number of legal issues that need attention (Probate). The affairs of your parent will need to be attended to and we are here to guide you.
A divorce can be a life-changing event that requires your estate planning to be reviewed. It’s important to make provision for those you need to care for in the event of your death. Your Will isn’t automatically invalidated by your divorce.
Becoming a Grandparent
A Second Marriage
As a grandparent you get to enjoy all the good bits of parenting, but can hand the little bundle of joy back at the end of the day. It’s time to reconsider your planning to cater for the new family structure.
It’s vital you review your planning and make your wishes clear – you might want to plan using a trust to provide for your new spouse, whilst still ring-fencing the inheritance of your child from a previous marriage.
Planning for Mental Incapacity If you lose capacity because of accident or illness, solely AND jointly held accounts could be frozen. Without Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in place, your loved ones face a long, complex, expensive and intrusive court process to gain control of your affairs.

Parish Elections
Seven existing councillors have put their names forward to continue as Parish Councillors after May. As there are 11 places there will not be an election here. The vacancies will be filled by co-option from June. Cllr. John Cullen has been Chair of the Parish Council for the last 2 years but will be stepping down from May though continuing to give of his time and expertise as a member of the PC.
Annual Parish Meeting
This was held in the Memorial Hall on 24th April. Guest speaker Kate Ward spoke about the success of the Neighbourcar scheme and of the hopes that more volunteer drivers would come forward so that more members of our community will benefit in the future. The 50 people who attended raised some good points in the discussions that followed on from the Parish Council’s reports and a number of actions are proposed as a result.
Bournemouth 7s Festival
This year’s festival is from 22nd to 25th May. Organisers have made great efforts to minimise the impact on West Parley with additional policing on site and up to Parley Cross as well as local security and litter patrols so we hope that this year’s event will pass off without too many problems. We are dependent on the direction of the wind as to how many of us are affected by the noise from the music but if any residents have any problems with what is happening they can phone the event Control Room on 01202 611272 who will deal with any issues.
The Parish Council does get details of any incidents at the site and complaints are fortunately very few in number.
West Parley in Bloom
Good news for the front and back garden competitions; these will be judged during the week commencing 27th July. This is a couple of weeks later than last year and having advance warning should help all you gardeners with your preparations! Entry forms are available from Cllr. Pat Couper – contact details below. The S&SE in Bloom competition which the village enters, will be judged on 7th July so lots of volunteers are needed to make sure we are all spick and span for that day. Some additional blue boxes will be in situ ready for planting of our summer displays later in May. Could you adopt a blue box, just to keep it weeded and dead headed? If you have a suitable site near you the volunteers would be happy to make additional boxes.
Sharing our Heritage
Year 3 (ie 7 and 8 year olds) at Parley First School have been studying the history and geography of their local area. In their English lessons they drafted and wrote letters in a fairly formal style to ask the Parish Council questions that they would like answered. Their teachers also
Party in the Park
A wonderful social event, formerly known as the ‘Big Lunch’, is to take place at Parley Country Club on Sunday 7th June. Look out for information locally and online as timings and other details are not available at the time of going to press, but you can be sure of fantastic fun and great food for all the family!
DATES FOR YOUR DIARY invited a member of the PC to talk to the children so Cllr. Chrissie Davies, with invaluable help from Cllr. John Cullen, gave a presentation to each class in turn starting at the Stone Age and finishing about 100 years ago when New Road and the bridge were constructed (4500 years in half an hour!) It was clear that the children had done an excellent job of research and were quite knowledgeable but they were also very interested and full of questions as well as being most attentive audiences.
Dorset Partnership for Older People Programme (POPP) This scheme is designed to provide free, impartial and confidential information and help to any resident over 50 years of age. The contacts are called ‘Wayfinders’ and West Parley’s Wayfinder is Hilary Moody. She is ‘on call’ for a certain number of hours per week and can be contacted on 07920 650 603 or via email: hilary. moody@helpandcare.org.uk . If you prefer to ring a landline, there is a central contact number: 01202 946111. They have a huge list of contacts and can help with queries as varied as keeping your home warm, making sure you are receiving all benefits to which you are entitled, finding clubs of interest to join and ensuring carers have adequate support.

..providing the answers
to your legal questions
Every month the solicitors and lawyers at Harold G Walker will be providing answers to your questions about the law. My ex-wife has stopped me from seeing my children. I have been told that before I can issue an application at court to obtain a Child Arrangement Order I must enter into mediation. Is this correct?
If you attempt to make a family application without attending a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting and you do not qualify for an exemption your application will be returned by the court.
From 22 April 2014 under the Children's and Families Bill 2014 it became mandatory that before an individual can make a family application to the court they must attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAMS) unless they are exempt. Exemptions include domestic violence, child protection concerns, urgency, attendance at a previous mediation Information or assessment meeting, existing proceedings, disability, imprisonment or you live abroad and only in specified circumstances in each instance.
A Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting is usually conducted as a one to one meeting with a qualified mediator, your ex-wife will be invited to attend a separate meeting. The mediator will advise you upon the process of mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, they will also assess the suitability of your issue.
Jennifer Miles Family Lawyer
Mediation itself is voluntary, there is no legal obligation upon you to attend. However, you may find your legal representative and/or the Court will encourage you to do so. If you are entitled to Legal Aid the meeting and any subsequent sessions of mediation will be free to you.
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney and why is it recommended to have one?
Your attorneys cannot do whatever they like—they must follow the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (this includes helping you to make as many of your own decisions as possible. An LPA is a legal document which allows you to appoint They cannot presume you cannot make your own decisions just a trusted person(s) to run your affairs if you are because you have made an unwise decision etc). incapacitated due to illness or accident or for any other reason (non-illness related). You can appoint up to 4 You can only set up an LPA while you have the mental capacity persons and appoint replacements—these persons are to make decisions. If you become mentally unable to make your called your “Attorneys” and can be any persons of your own decisions, the Courts will appoint a Deputy to act on your choice. They are usually a friend or family member but behalf. A Deputy works very much can be a professional such as your solicitor. like an Attorney, but has the added complexity of strict Court oversight You can appoint attorneys to act on your behalf in and involvement (which results in relation to your health and welfare, and/or your the inevitable extra costs and delays property and financial affairs. You can include for you in the long run). restrictions and guidance for your attorneys. Nicola Lowe Wills & LPA’s

Pilgrimages from West Parley On the left doorpost of the Saxon entrance to All Saints Church in West Parley there is a faint impression of a large cross carved in to the stone. It has been suggested that this has been carved by Christian pilgrims leaving from and returning to the Church. A pilgrimage is a journey to a holy place or shrine undertaken as a spiritual quest to obtain supernatural help or as a form of penance for sins. The first pilgrimages, during the Crusades, were to the Holy Land but it was common for later medieval people to make a pilgrimage close to home, visiting sites associated with Christian Saints and martyrs, holy relics or places where there had been apparitions of the Virgin Mary. One of the most popular destinations in the medieval era was to Walsingham, in Norfolk. Many took a pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral, to visit the site of the murder of Thomas a Becket in 1170. This journey was immortalised and popularised in Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’, written about 1390.
St. Martha Hill on Pilgrim’s Way by Colin Smith. Licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
All Saints Church, West Parley The Dissolution of the Monasteries in the late 1530s effectively ended the custom of pilgrimage in England. A pilgrim leaving West Parley on the route to Canterbury would cross the open heathland north of the village and use the bridge at Palmers Ford to journey via Burley and Cadnam on to Winchester and along the tracks close to the North Downs all the way to Canterbury. Though the paths are now called the Pilgrims Way, this name is only found on maps from the 1850s. The journeys were difficult. Not only were the road conditions awful, but pilgrims were known to carry money and were easy prey for local thieves so they often set out in groups for protection and travelled short distances from village to village with others. Until the mid C16 there were only about 100 people living in West Parley and Dudsbury hamlets and it is very likely that Poole, being by far the largest local town, was the start point for many pilgrims whose journey passed through West Parley on their way east.

Adventures of Nellie
38
The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Nellie loves Poole! We have so much to do on our doorstep here in Dorset. There are plenty of exciting activities for all ages, as well as miles of glorious beaches, just around the corner, in our beautiful town of Bournemouth! Poole Quay is a vibrant place. There is much history, fantastic old buildings and many good restaurants and cafes for a coffee break, or even a full seafood meal. So yes, Nellie loves to travel to Poole. She knows that many of you will be very familiar with the sights and sounds of our wonderful seaside location but she wanted to tell you of her recent exciting trip out and all that she saw. The Sunseeker boats! Oh boy do they look magnificent. We are lucky enough to have Sunseeker based right here in Poole. It is in fact the flagship dealership for new and pre-owned Sunseeker boats and luxury motor yachts. These yachts make Nellie’s mouth water. They give the whole place a sense of wealth, extravagance… and how the other half live! Oh well, maybe not this lifetime but they are great to see anyway.
Nellie spots another old girl by the quay...
Nellie loves Sunseekers! The Pleasure boats! Now these are more like it. Nellie can afford this. Though she is rather too large to actually step on board. (She really does need to go on a diet… again!). Brownsea Island is where these boats take you, as well as some trips to Wareham, Swanage and Old Harry Rocks, so for anyone wanting to have a pleasurable trip around the harbour, take in our glorious scenery, have a coffee on board and generally ‘while away the day’, this is for you! It is also for children as they usually love the sea and it is pretty exciting to watch the land move further and further away. Brownsea Island, which is magnificently set in Poole Harbour with spectacular views over the Purbecks is owned by the National Trust. Lord Baden Powell’s statue salutes you as you set off for ‘his scout’s island’. Our famous, rare, red squirrels can be spotted here so those with a good camera could get some amazing photos. There is also a café as well as a hotel, but only those lucky enough to work for the John Lewis Partnership can stay here, as it is owned by them. The data I have is that there is a long waiting list!
39 Back on the Quay, there are haunted pubs! The King Charles Pub dates all the way back to the 1300s when it was a wool house! Incredible. The Custom House, now a wonderful place to sit and have a coffee or meal, is famous for the smuggling episode some 250 years ago when 30 ‘savage’ smugglers forced there way in and stole 2 ton of tea. Those were the days… There is even an old prison, called Fish Street Gaol. Can you find it? Continuing past the Georgian House, Hotel du Vin, there are some very old Almshouses (a house founded by charity, offering accommodation for poor people) dating back to Henry V. In fact, if local history is your interest then the Poole Museum also houses the Local History Centre. It is based in the historic Town Cellars, where you can learn more about the history of Poole and it’s people. It is a fascinating place to visit, all free of charge and Nellie highly recommends it. For children on the quay there are amusement arcades, an illuminated pirate, crazy golf course which is indoors, above the amusement arcade, so ideal if the weather is not so good… and plenty of ice cream sellers!
The Almhouses from Henry V’s time
One of Poole’s haunted pubs! We love Banana Wharf for lunch. The views are perfect, whether the weather is good or bad, so do mention Nellie to the manager there and give him a big “Hello” from Dorset Publications! One last thing, the shops. Nellie loves “Pavers”, the shoe shop, and has more shoes than she needs, or even her cupboards can store, but hey that’s girls for you. We are well known for it! There is also the nationally and even internationally famous Poole Pottery. The large, open plan shop is great to look around, buy Birthday presents, gifts with “Poole” on them for those out of town, or just a special something for yourself. There is also a place for children to paint a pot themselves. Ideal for Grandma or Grandad. So, do take a day out to our wonderful town of Poole. It has a lot to offer for all ‘shapes and sizes’, all weathers and any time of the year. Nellie hopes you find something new and exciting. Where will Nellie go next…? By Debbie Corney

Charity Bowls Evening Monday 11th May Organised by Rotary Club of Parley Fancy rolling up to the Knyveton Gardens Bowling Club (KGBC) after work on Monday 11th May? If you do, you’re assured of a great evening out with a little mild exercise (some bowling), a bite to eat (buffet meal included) and perhaps a drink or two (completely optional); the KGBC licensed bar will be open to nonmembers. Never played bowls before? Not a problem. You’ll be made very welcome and even given some basic instruction in ‘how-to-bowl’. All this is part of a charity fund-raising event organised jointly between KGBC and the Rotary Club of Parley. It’s to help Lewis Brimble participate in the World Transplant Games later this year. So who exactly is Lewis Brimble...? Lewis, now 14, was diagnosed with MPGN Type 2 and kidney failure four years ago. He has undergone treatment for his condition ever since, including a kidney transfer from his Mum. As well as playing bowls to a high standard, Lewis is a Multi Medal winner at the UK Transplant Games and has been selected to represent Team GB at the World Transplant Games in Argentina this August. But he has to raise a total of £6,000 towards making this trip. To help Lewis get there, KGBC has adopted Lewis as their President’s Charity for 2015. The Rotary Club of Parley has already made a pledge to support Lewis and has now joined forces with KGBC to run this event to add to their donation. You can be part of this good work for the astonishingly low contribution of £12.50.
This includes your bowling (6pm till dusk) and your buffet meal afterwards. Any beverages you consume are extra, as you would probably guess. Who knows? You might enjoy your evening of bowling so much that you would like to give it another go later this summer. A whole new, and healthy, leisure experience awaits you... You’ll find Knyveton Gardens Bowling Club at Frances Road, Bournemouth, BH1 3RY. The evening’s play starts at 6pm. The closer you can arrive to that time, the more bowling you will get in. For more details or to book your place, just contact Martin Brierley – Tel: 07759 115959. Email: mbrierley12@gmail.com. If you can’t come along that evening, but would like to help Lewis and Team GB compete, you can make a donation at www.justgiving.com/lewistransplant Lewis Brimble (left)

Let us help put the sparkle back! Block Paving
Paving has become a popular choice with many homeowners, as it not only enhances the appearance of your driveway or patio but increases the value of any property. However, most of these surfaces will hold varying degrees of moisture and this makes them particularly vulnerable to weed infestation and the spread of algae and moss. Our treatment includes: • Pressure washing • Re-sanding • Double coat of sealant
Tarmac
Also introducing...
Distinctive Custom Driveways Resin bonded surfacing for easy maintenance
Tarmac offers an attractive, versatile and cost effective approach to any property. However, as with any other external surface, over the years, the colour can start to fade and the surface can dry out, causing the tarmac to crack. We can restore tired and faded tarmac driveways to look like they have been newly laid. Our service includes: • Pre-treat surface growth and oil stains • Professional pressure clean • Small holes and cracks repaired • Two coats of tarmac restorer applied
