Dear Neighbours, A very Merry Christmas to you all! We do hope Edition 148 that you are all prepared and are ready to put your feet up in front of a roaring fire with a glass of your favourite tipple in your hand. The thought is good but very often that is not the case. Stephen & Debbie Corney Last minute shopping, with our son Hayden cleaning the house before the parents, friends or family arrive. It can all get a bit stressful, let’s face it. Maybe it is time to stop worrying, let someone else help where they can and smile your way through. That would be Nellie’s suggestion! It works for her… I think I will try it. We have had a very good year with lots of travelling and fun outings. Now is the time to start planning the new 2018. How exciting! A new year, a new start, or maybe more of the same, but certainly a time to create a future. Stephen and I thank all of you for supporting the advertisers in 2017. All of your calls and bookings have made our work worthwhile and kept many businesses very busy. If you have a business yourself or know of one, please let them know of us. We would love to help them do even better and get many more calls. The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch was Mrs K Smith. Very well done to you. Here’s to a Wonderful Christmas Time! Best Wishes,
Welcome...

Charity Partnership raises over £11,000 for local young people The John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation was delighted to have been selected as Sainsbury’s Ferndown Local Charity of the Year for 2016/17. Sainsbury’s colleagues and customers have been great friends of the charity for many years, but no-one was expecting the incredible amount of £11,455.42 which was raised in store and donated by Sainsbury’s from carrier bag sales. Pictured below presenting a big cheque to Pete Thornton, Chairman of the JTYAF, is a group of Sainsbury’s colleagues together with Sainsbury’s Ferndown, Store Manager, Richard Lockett. The charity would like to thank Sainsbury’s Ferndown and all the exceptionally kind shoppers and colleagues who have contributed to this huge total. Thanks, must also go to the JTYAF Volunteers and particularly Royal Marine Richie Puttock and his team, whose Press Up Challenge alone, raised £3600. Working in partnership with Sainsbury’s for
the benefit of local young people really puts the charity at the heart of the community and has made a huge difference to the opportunities that can be provided to local youngsters. Store Manager, Richard Lockett, commented, “We have had a fantastic year working with the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation and we are extremely proud to have helped raise £11,455 over the year. Our colleagues have voted to support the Foundation for another year and hopefully we will have an equally successful year together.” So it is all set to continue! The JTYAF will be in store at Sainsbury’s Ferndown from the 15th to 17th December and shoppers will be treated to a bit of added Festive sparkle with the several choirs singing Christmas carols, including the fabulous Bournemouth Male Voice Choir. Why not put the dates in your diary? Christmas shopping will be much more fun with the JTYAF around!

Talking about Wildlife...
The violence of nature The deer rut is one of the most powerful and shocking displays nature has to offer. Deer have a reputation for being shy and retiring, but their character changes drastically when the rutting season begins in autumn.
The rutting season is a time for male deer to demonstrate their power and dominance to decide which individuals get to mate with the does. These highly charged displays of violence, noise and drama, can lead to death and injury, but are an essential part of creating the next generation. Hormone levels are the trigger for the stags’ assertive behaviour. The levels of hormones go from ‘flat’ to ‘surge’, bringing on the enormous bone growth of the antlers. You may hear a deer rut before you see it. Males bellow and belch to intimidate their rivals and warn Sika Stags at Holton Lee

younger males to stay away, creating what could be described as more of a bar brawl than a fight. However, when the physical violence starts, there will be pushing, shoving and the eventual lock of antlers. The hormones surging through their bodies is exponential at this point, but the rut is also exhausting for the males; only the fittest will survive. The best time to see deer rutting is at dawn and dusk during autumn. Often deer are so distracted and preoccupied with rutting, it will allow you to get closer than usual to witness their behaviour and take photos. However, be warned, for your own safety it is not advisable to get too close to them, and be sure to keep control of dogs – if deer are disturbed during a rut, this could affect the future paternity of an entire herd.

Free Christmas carol concert to bring patients and hospital staff together Bournemouth Hospital Charity invites the public to join them for a free Christmas carol service this December at Christchurch Priory. The special service takes place at the historic church on Wednesday 13 December at 7.30pm and will see hospital staff, patients and their loved ones join together to celebrate the Christmas story. The first ever hospital carol service features readings by patients, consultants and chaplains, as well as prayers and carols that all can join in. Special musical accompaniment will be provided by the Bournemouth Male Voice Choir and mulled wine and mince pies will be offered for all who attend this festive event. Events Fundraiser Karen Smith says Bournemouth Hospital Charity is delighted to hold the carol concert at the Christchurch Priory.

Auto Biographies Motoring
Renaut Koleos 2017 By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk
The Renault Koleos won’t rock your world, but it’s a decent enough SUV. It looks a bit too like many other SUVs out there – most noticeably the Skoda Kodiaq, but it’s an impressive car, nonetheless. I got behind the wheel of the flagship trim level – the Signature Nav, which has a generous amount of Kit, comprising big 19-inch alloy wheels, a sat-nav, a touchscreen and leather-bound seats. The car’s infotainment system, accessed via the touchscreen is easy and selfexplanatory to use, and the Renault is practical, offering cubby holes and four USB slots. What’s more, the Koleos is endowed with good quality soft-touch plastics and the hide wrapping the seats and steering wheel is top notch. The top-of-the-tree 2.0 dCi 175 AWD X-Tronic Koleos I drove really is the bee’s-knees, in terms of out-and-out technology and cabin refinement. The layout is well thought out for driver and passengers, and room is more than respectable. The wheelbase is the same as the X-Trail’s at 2,705mm – and this equates to awesome legroom. Better still, the Koleos’ load area is 29 litres bigger than the Nissan’s – measuring 579 litres. Alas, take a tape-measure to the similar-looking Skoda Kodiaq and the Czech-made car’s boot is 630 litres. Oh well, you can’t have everything. Strangely the Gallic car brand isn’t providing the Koleos with a seven-seat option, though. This could be a deal-breaker as Skoda’s Kodiaq does. Renault gets away with it, however, by explaining that you can always go for the Grand Scenic if you need all those seats. On the road, the Renault Koleos is well-behaved and easy to like. Zero to 62mph arrives in 9.5 seconds and the top speed is 125mph, so the car has plenty of ‘go’ for motorway commutes or for overtakes on lesser roads. The Koleos has 174 horses under its ample bonnet to provide such power,
and this helps tug the car along, even with five-up and a fully laden boot. The auto ‘box isn’t bad, even though it’s a continuously variable transmission (CVT). This means the transmission shifts through a constant range of ratios. Alas, CVTs don’t always work as seamlessly as they should, resulting in a rather jerky driving experience. Nevertheless, I’m pleased to report Renault has stuck an advanced CVT into the Koleos that uses technology to copy a sequential ‘box. This makes the car painless to operate. The Koleos’ride is super comfy, with its soft suspension making you all but forget the existence of potholes. But the squidgy springs don’t wreck the handling; if anything, the French SUV comes across as predictable and steady. The Koleos I drove had all-wheel-drive, so I also tested it off-road. Because the car has good ground clearance I could drive it over stones and hummocks without fear of ripping bits off the underneath of the Koleos. Furthermore, the Renault grips well in mud and anything not resembling tarmac. It’s no Land Rover, but it’s a great asset to have if you live in the sticks, or you plan on lugging a tin-tent to a grassy caravan park or suchlike. The Koleos is a car that is roomy and well-appointed. It also flies the luxury SUV flag for Renault. This means it could attract fresh customers to the brand who are looking for an SUV with a bit of French flair..

Do you drive an automatic car? The majority of car manufacturers recommend changing the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) on automatic gearboxes every 40,000 miles. We have invested and are now equipped with the latest ATF exchanger machine, which runs flushing detergent through the gearbox, thus ensuring a 100% exchange of the total fluid capacity, unlike traditional methods.

With their eye for detail and focus on ensuring the highest quality finish, the company has its own factory for the manufacture of all its units. To achieve the full final product, all the installers and fitters are employed by the company, not sub-contractors. All the images here are of completed
installations in the local area. The quality of workmanship is clear to see and you can also visit the showroom to view some more examples of how you can make the best use of the space in your home. There are amazing designs showing how you can maximise even the smallest of corners, right up to a full room.
With their friendly and helpful approach, you can be sure of a personal, bespoke service that is tailored to your needs. The designers even produce full CAD drawings of how the finished product will look like to ensure that everything is true to your dreams, even before the installation work is begun. “We are delighted with the finished product, it has all gone in extremely well. As you will know this is the fifth occasion that Select have completed work in our home. 3 bedrooms, a utility room and now our kitchen; testament to how pleased we have been. The man who made it complete was Paul. You can spend a fortune on units only for poor fitting to ruin the job, but Paul’s workmanship is the best of any tradesman who has ever completed work for us. He was efficient, thought things through, nothing was too much trouble and does the work as if it were for his own home. He is a credit to your company.”

Outstanding success for Moors Valley Country Park at Dorset Tourism Awards Staff and volunteers at Moors Valley Country Park and Forest near Ringwood are celebrating a third year of success in the Dorset Tourism Awards having taken Gold in the Large Attraction category. The Park was also awarded Silver in the new Artistic, Cultural and Learning Experience category, and Communication Ranger Katie Davies received a personal award for Outstanding Customer Service. Go Ape, which provides tree top adventures at Moors Valley also received a Silver award in the Active and Sporting Experience category. “To win one award is amazing, but to come away with so many is simply fantastic!” said Clare Gronow, Team Leader at the Park. “Delivering that special Moors Valley experience would not be possible without our team of incredibly dedicated staff. Their combined talents play a huge part in making sure all our 750,000 visitors enjoy their time with us, regardless of age or ability, so I am really delighted that those efforts have been recognised across so many awards this year.” Jointly owned and managed by East Dorset District Council and the Forestry Commission, Moors Valley offers a unique combination of outdoor play, working forest and wonderful wildlife for everyone to enjoy in a safe outdoor environment. One of its core objectives is to provide opportunities for visitors to experience, understand and learn about wildlife and wider environmental issues and the Park’s
environmental education and creative art and craft programme currently reaches over 10,000 people every year. A packed programme of family events runs throughout December and Moors Valley is looking forward to another great year in 2018 as it celebrates its 30th anniversary. The latest Dorset Tourism Awards bring the number of tourism accolades won by the Park in the last three years to 11. In the 2015 Dorset Tourism Awards, Moors Valley won Large Visitor Attraction (Gold) and Access and Inclusivity (Silver) as well as being named Winner of Winners. In 2016 the Park carried off Gold in both the Sustainable Tourism and Access and Inclusivity categories. In the regional South West Tourism Excellence Awards it achieved Silver in the Large Visitor Attraction category in 2015/6 and Bronze in both the Sustainable Tourism and Access & Inclusivity categories in 2016/17.

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Well Nellie was rather proud of herself this month as she was invited to be the guest of honour at the prestigious West Moors Horticultural Society yearly awards ceremony at the West Moors Memorial Hall. Not only that she had to present the 113 awards to all of those very talented people! She could hardly contain her excitement. All raring to go one fine Saturday morning, she tooted her horn, off she skipped and we certainly arrived in style. What is really amazing about these clubs and societies is that they are run by very dedicated, local people who literally spend hours of their own time having meetings, followed up with minutes and reports and then of course there are all the preparations for each event. Arriving in the hall we were well looked after by Peter Dunning who was all smiles.
Beautifully decorated table ready for lunch
The VIPs arriving in style!
There were tables and chairs set up for over 60 people with a full lunch all neatly covered over with foil for each attendee. “Custom Lunches” had prepared the wonderful ham salad. It was fresh and tasty, and highly recommended! Nellie loved it. The committee had done a fantastic job led by Sue Hamlett. The table decorations on each table were beautifully presented and immediately showed the talent we were surrounded by. Then there were the desserts superbly homemade by Sylvia Barrett! Oh, how tasty they were, all freshly cooked. Stephen had two different desserts and Nellie - well, I think she lost count! About those thighs… is there any wonder? The wine was flowing at the bar and spirits were very high.

The presentation of the awards was a sheer delight. We do hope you enjoy looking at our photos page! One gentleman won seven different cups! How talented is he. We all know it is the taking part that counts… but winning is such fun, let’s face it! There were prizes for flower decorations, vegetable growing, cakes, crafts and all sorts of flower growing. Everyone in the room deserved a medal for taking part and creating such a great team event. In today’s modern world of TVs, computers and high-tech phones it is so refreshing to see these clubs thriving. This Horticultural Society has 470 members which is incredible! What Nellie realised is that it is down to the individual committee members who keep the flame alight and enthuse people to take part. It is good to know that these clubs very much still exist, and it is up to us to find out what is available locally and have the confidence to go and take part. When you do it is a lot of fun. You meet like-minded people, have a

Thank you to Sue Hamlett for the lovely flowers and the bottle of wine
laugh and learn something new. I do believe that the Horticultural Society is looking for some younger members too, so don’t be shy. For more information contact Sue Hamlett on 01202 871536. Nellie loves to communicate, enjoy herself and make sure others do too. These clubs provide coffee mornings, outings and shows, so Nellie says, “Go on take the plunge and join a club near you!” It could be this club, a sport’s club, flower arranging, cycling, singing, amateur dramatics, the Lunch Club or the knitting club. There is something for everyone and you will not regret it, if you take a look. Nellie wishes you a truly magical Christmas and hopes that 2018 brings you much laughter and activity. Where will she take us this coming year? By Debbie Corney

West Moors Parish Council Fryer Field New Play Area is Back in Business! After much anticipation many families of West Moors are excited at the installation of colourful new play equipment at Fryer Field park, designed to appeal to children under 12 years of age. The new artificial grass surfacing should make playtime for the children a more pleasant experience. This £98,000 makeover was funded by West Moors Parish Council and East Dorset District Council. It was also assisted by a Tesco Bags of Help grant. It has always been a well used park but now it is an up to date asset that the village can be proud of. This long awaited refurbishment was due for completion at the beginning of August in time for the Summer Holidays unfortunately due to reasons beyond the control of West Moors Parish Council, the delays continued and work was completed on Friday 13th October, just in time for the Half Term. On Thursday 19th October, children from Oakhurst Community and St. Mary’s C of E First Schools joined various Parish, East Dorset District and Dorset County Councillors to declare the park officially open. The students present had the chance to enjoy a special playtime after the ceremony. West Moors Parish Council hopes it will be enjoyed by all and thanks you for your patience. A special thanks goes to East Dorset District Council for their generous contribution. Left to right: Cutting the ribbon are 2 children from Oakhurst and 2 from St Marys’ C of E First School. Chairman of West Moors Parish Council Cllr Penny Yeo by their side. In the play area are Mr White, Deputy Head teacher of St. Mary’s; EDDC Cllr Alex Clarke, Dorset County and EDDC Cllr David Shortell Continued: Cllr Jim Lewis, Cllr John Bartley, Vice Chairman of East Dorset District Council Cllr Toni Coombs, Cllr Mike Hawkes, Matt Reeks (Community & Open Spaces Manager at Christchurch and East Dorset), Cllr Carol Holmes, Cllr Jayne Lovegrove and teacher at Oakhurst Community First, Cllr Rob Smith, teachers from Oakhurst and Cllr Pete Holden

Gardening Tips
52
On Your Plot Scarves at the ready
December is perhaps the one month where, in the build up to Christmas with roaring fires and shorter days, even the hardiest of gardeners may struggle to get out there and do the necessary for their plots. December often means hard frosts and you need to harvest your winter cabbages, celery and cauliflowers this month. Parsnips and swedes are pretty hardy so if you are a bit overrun with your crop you can keep these in the ground until you need them. If bad weather is forecast then keep some straw handy to cover them over and stop the ground from freezing thema in. Make sure that you check your stored crops for any sign of disease and remove any that look problematic. If the ground isn’t too sticky then this is also a great time to get out your hoe and work between your vegetable crops. Look out for any plants which might have been lifted by frost and press them gently back into the ground. Keep an eye on your Brussels too - these should be starting now so try cooking them in different ways in your meals before the ‘big day’ (adding a spot of garlic can make all the difference) until you find something suitable to go with the bird. You don’t just have to eat them on Christmas Day you know! Be mindful of any snowfall this month or in future weeks and help out your plants and shrubs as best you can by brushing off any settled snow. This helps to prevent any damage with branches breaking under the weight. Just make sure you if you have small children they don’t take this as an opportunity to flick snow everywhere otherwise your quiet gardening time could suddenly turn into an impromptu snowball fight! Birds at this time of the year need all the help they can get too. There are some great plants that you can introduce to help them as well as popping out the traditional feeders. These
include hawthorn, holly, beriberi and indeed your holly can double up as a craft project for indoor decorations over the festive season. If you are planting these types of shrubs for our feathered friends then do try and put them somewhere quiet in the garden where the birds won’t be frightened off. Sit back at your window and watch them feed contentedly whilst you enjoy the view. Why not get out a few gardening books, grab a cup of tea and imagine how you’d like your garden to look next summer? More or less vegetables? Bigger shrubs, more colour? Whatever you choose, pat yourself on the back for all the hard work you’ve done this year and think how green your fingers really could be!
Jobs for December:-
• Continue collecting falling leaves and put them in a leaf mould cage ready for next year. • Take hardwood cuttings of soft fruit. • Cover your compost bins • Pop some more manure into your digging efforts. • Keep an eye on any slugs trying to get at your potatoes • Keep your bird feeders topped up, especially if there is ground frost or snowfall. • Keep mice away from your harvested produce. • Cut back any creepers that have become a bit excitable during the year
