West Moors Bowling Club News Back in April West Moors Memorial Bowling Club embarked on a program to attract and encourage young people into bowling. Coaches Cathy and Peter Hunter, with the help of Joy and Sid Steele from Blandford Bowling Club, where there is a thriving Junior section, held a couple of taster sessions for local uniformed organisations and we are delighted that, following on from these we now have sixteen children aged from six to sixteen registered with us.
Every week throughout the summer, with the invaluable help of a few of our club members, we have run coaching/fun sessions which have been a great success and there are already some very talented youngsters among them who are doing their best to dispel the long held myth that bowls is an old persons game. One of our boys, aged thirteen played very competently in a couple of Bournemouth & District Saturday Triples League matches at the end of the season and we are determined to ensure that he and our other children continue to develop their skills next summer.
we are hoping that once we are firmly established, and with the aid of some sponsorship, we will be in a position to purchase, in particular more junior bowls thus enabling us to return the Dorset Youth Academy equipment so that another club may have the benefit of its use. To bring our first outdoor season to a close we held a bowling skills competition on Saturday 15th September which was a great success, and it was very rewarding to not only see the children trying so hard to win but have their proud parents looking on as well. Afterwards we all adjourned to the clubhouse for some light refreshments and presentation of certificates and medals to all the children who took part and cups to the competition winners. To help maintain their interest during the winter months we are also fortunate to be able to offer them the opportunity to try short mat bowling and we look forward to welcoming them back in April 2019 for another season outdoors.
In recognition of our efforts we were also honoured to be the first club in Dorset to be presented with some junior bowls and various pieces of equipment by The Dorset Youth Academy, which Carol Williams from Poole Park, this years Dorset Ladies President, has set up as her nominated charity. This equipment has been a huge help to us and

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the West Moors area

BLUE PLANET II - LIVE IN CONCERT Community News
BOURNEMOUTH INTERNATIONAL CENTRE - WEDNESDAY 13 MARCH 2019 BBC presenter Anita Rani has been announced as host for Blue Planet II – Live In Concert, ahead of a 13-date UK & Eire arena tour in March 2019. A highly-respected TV personality, Anita Rani is a household name as one of the presenters of the BBC One series Countryfile, and regularly appears in and presents the BBC’s One Show. Anita has also presented programmes including Bollywood: The World’s Biggest Film Industry and Watchdog. In 2015 Anita was also a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing. Rani said of narrating Blue Planet II – Live In Concert: “I am really honoured to have the role of host on the Blue Planet II Live In Concert arena tour. The TV series was such a fantastic and enlightening show and has really empowered society to view our oceans and environment with a great deal more care. I can’t wait to stand on stage with an 80-piece orchestra and huge screen showing some of that incredible Blue Planet II footage, it should be an amazing experience!” Accompanied by the original immersive television music score by Bleeding Fingers Music, composed by Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea and David Fleming, the concert will be performed live by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, and conducted by Matthew Freeman. Hans Zimmer said of composing the music for Blue Planet II – “The idea is to depict the abundance of life as well as the movements and vibrations of the ocean. By using the orchestra in an unconventional way, we wanted to create ‘living’ chords that ebb and flow throughout the series”. Bringing the wonders and mysteries of the planet’s oceans and its inhabitants to the UK arena stage, Blue Planet II – Live In Concert will present a selection of incredible visuals from the BAFTA Award winning BBC One landmark series, highlighting the amazing natural
wonders of our blue planet in breath-taking detail, projected on a giant state of the art 4K Ultra HD LED screen. The concert will feature exciting visuals from the show including the now infamous Tusk fish, the Crab and Eel rock pool chase and the ‘folklore-turned-reality’ Sea Lion tuna hunt, to mention but a few. The Blue Planet II television show was the most watched TV programme of 2017 in the United Kingdom, reaching 37.6 million viewers. The UK & Eire arena tour are committed to reducing environmental impact. All of the arena venues have long term goals to reduce the use of plastic, lower carbon footprints, reduce energy consumption and improve awareness. During the filming of the Blue Planet II television program, film crews embarked on 125 expeditions, travelled to 39 countries and spent over 6,000 hours of deep sea diving armed with the latest state of the art equipment. Take a deep breath and discover a whole new world hidden beneath the surface of the sea. Hosted by Anita Rani, the Blue Planet II – Live In Concert will allow the audience to share an enjoy this voyage of discovery in an epic live audio-visual experience unlike any other.

Talking about Wildlife...
There’s something wild about Brownsea
Dorset Wildlife Trust is launching a new and exciting project called Wild Brownsea designed to bring people in Dorset closer to nature and needs your help to secure the future of a unique island.
Over the next three years we will look to upgrade the visitor facilities on the island’s nature reserve, while reducing the impact of visitor numbers on the fragile island habitat. By recognising the islands full potential as the perfect place to offer a richer wildlife experience, we will inspire future generations to protect our precious wildlife and wildplaces. But we need to reach our fundraising target by January 2019, for every £1 you donate the wildlife of Brownsea gets £10. For such a small island Brownsea has had an eventful past and now looks to play an equally important role in the future of wildlife conservation in Dorset. It has been gifted by Kings and Queens, set alight and bombed by the Luftwaffe in WWII and even hosted the first Boy Scout camp in 1907. It’s a wonder it’s survived to tell the tale. Luckily for us it has endured and offers Brownsea Island Lagoon

such a biodiverse habitat for wildlife to flourish. Nicki Tutton; our Brownsea Island Engagement Officer talks passionately about the project “Having worked and volunteered on the island for so long, I can see its amazing potential to inspire the public, as it inspired me, and to make the most of the opportunity to encourage future generations to care about wildlife and conservation.” With our fundraising deadline fast approaching we need your help in reaching our target before January 2019. The total project costs are estimated at £1.2million, we have already managed to secure 90% of the funds, but we simply need your support to reach the final target. Through working in partnership with The Heritage Lottery Fund, the wildlife of Brownsea will get £10 for every £1 you donate! Please help us realise our vision for the Brownsea Island Nature Reserve, by supporting our Wild Brownsea project www. dorsetrwildlifetrust.org.uk/wildbrownsea By Sally Welbourn Communications Officer

Exclusive 100th Birthday Celebration raises thousands for Dorset Blind Association Dorset Blind Association, a charity helping blind and partially sighted people across Dorset to live happy lives, held their exclusive Centenary Ball took place on Saturday 13th October at the Hilton Hotel, Bournemouth. The prestigious 100th Anniversary celebration raised a phenomenal £22,705 on the night: an incredible amount and also the most that the charity has ever raised in one event. The event, which was kindly sponsored by long-running supporter Blue Sky Financial Planning, saw over 160 guests put in an appearance to celebrate an impressive 100 years of Dorset Blind Association, with guests arriving in their finest dinner suits and posh frocks to a red carpet welcome complimentary glass of champagne, followed by a three-course dinner with wine and coffee. The Centenary celebrations were thoroughly embraced by the guests, who tried their hands at the Viva Las Vegas Casino, danced the night away to the fantastic sounds of Swing Unlimited Big Band and participated in the accompanying raffle and auction. To get the guests up and moving after dinner, a fun and thoroughly entertaining game of Heads or Tails was played to music. Guests had the opportunity to meet the charity’s patrons, Lord and Lady Julian and Emma Fellowes, and DBA President, James Weld. On display was an exhibition of Dorset Blind Association’s extensive history, featuring a timeline of the most important milestones in the past 100 years of this local charity. Jonathan Holyhead, Chief Executive Officer of Dorset Blind Association, said:
“The evening was a wonderful, happy way to help celebrate our centenary. I am absolutely thrilled by the amount raised and I cannot thank people enough for their generosity. This money will go towards the provision of future services and support for blind and partially sighted people across Dorset, so a great many people will benefit from it and on their behalf I want to say “thank you”, again, to everyone who helped make the Ball such a huge success.” The charity have now held their annual Ball for 4 years, and will be returning with their Masquerade theme next year on Saturday 26th October. Get the date in your diary now so you won’t miss out on this spectacular evening. Dorset Blind Association receive no statutory funding, relying wholly on the kind support and goodwill of the local community to keep their vital services going. As part of their Centenary Celebration, the charity are running their 100 Club campaign; a simple but effective ask for 100 people to donate £100 to celebrate 100 years of the charity. If you would like to donate or find out more about Dorset Blind Association, please visit their website at www.dorsetblind.org.uk.

Wills, Estate Planning and Lasting Power of Attorneys Do you know when you should update your will and check your Lasting Power of Attorneys are in place? A recent survey has revealed that over half of people have not updated their will or organised their Lasting Power of Attorneys. An online poll indicated that while people had started to recognise the importance of consolidating their final wishes, they were unaware of the need to review them. Whilst writing a will is important, the need to review and update them regularly should not be overlooked, particularly after a significant change in circumstance. The results of the poll suggest that many people are unaware of the need to check their will, not to mention the impact which legislative and familial changes can have on the distribution of their estate. Nigel Skilton of Dorset Wills commented. “Any change in circumstances can have a huge impact on your will. Marriage is the big one. There are a lot of
couples out there that made a will together before they married, perhaps when they bought a house together, or had children, and they don’t realise that getting married automatically invalidates any existing will. “As estates fluctuate in value, people need to make sure their will is consistent with their finances. As wealth increases, so does the impact of inheritance tax, which means careful planning is needed to take advantage of available exemptions and allowances. “And no one in this modern age should be without Lasting Power of Attorney’s. A properly constructed will ensures your wishes are met when you are no longer with us. Your Lasting Power of Attorneys ensure your wishes are met while you are still with us but unable manage your own affairs either due to an accident or disease such as Dementia or Alzheimer’s.” There is never a better time than now to check your will.

West Moors Lunch & Friendship Lunch The West Moors Lunch and Friendship club meets in St. Anthony‛s church hall every Wednesday from 11.00am until 3.30pm. Our brains were taxed with a general knowledge quiz one week, our five teams became very competitive. Everyone enjoyed the visit by Ali and Music for Health, a combination of singing and seated exercise to music, another week. It is always good fun. We have two musical afternoons coming up, Simon as ‘Mr. Piano Man‛ and the singing of Paul Spencer. In the intervening weeks between our visiting entertainers we play board games such as cards, scrabble, dominoes etc. There is usually something different going on at each table so it is easy to join in something you really like.

DEBBIE HAYNES
What my clients say...
“I have been going to Debbie for 6 years now. Having thickened toe nails made my feet vey uncomfortable but over time with care and patience and ongoing care I no longer get any pain. With advice on how to control the hard skin on my feet and various other minor problems I feel like I have new feet!” Mrs S, Ferndown “I have been a client of Debbie’s for 4 years. I find her to be friendly and professional always giving me good advice about the care of my feet. Her knowledge of podiatry is really helpful when determining the best treatment for my feet and ensuring they remain comfortable between visits. My feet definitely benefit from regular treatment and with Debbie’s attention (even checking my pulse) they are ‘trouble free’ feet that I don’t have to worry about.

39 and walk with the tress in this warm, humid envelopment. Quite an experience. We even had a neck and shoulder massage from a therapist inside. How wonderful was that. In the treetops There are also educational talks for the youngsters and adults alike, so you can learn as you look. Now, I was there with two active ‘boys’. One my husband and one our 14 year old son, so this wonderful calmness I was experiencing was not going to last long. No. Mum there is an exciting, fast and exhilarating life to lead out there, after-all, there is the adventurous “Hangloose” Zip Wire and colossal Swing to fly on! Oh dear, it had to be done. Hayden and I did go on the huge swing which literally falls from a great height and hurls you into the valley above the tree tops,
Yes, let’s!
...whose bright idea?
Up, up and away... screaming away. It was a far cry from my blissful wander with nature. Fun though I have to say, but shush, don’t tell the boys that! Stephen and Hayden had a thrilling ride on Zip Wire, while I looked after the bags (a rather good excuse…). Stephen, who does not like heights, tried to get off rather quickly at the end and looked a little white, but I think he enjoyed it! Actually, both he and Hayden were grinning from ear to ear. It gave them that adrenaline rush these boys so yearn. Oh for that cup of coffee… The whole day was truly enjoyable. Tim Smit wanted to create a “symbol of optimism where ordinary people working together could do the nearly impossible.” What an amazing purpose. Nellie was truly impressed when we recounted our day to her. Ever optimistic herself and always happy when we have a family day out, she also grinned from headlight to headlight. If you want to become a member of the Eden Project please go online to www. edenproject.com. I am sure they would love to hear from you. Where will we go next and will “Daichi, the Dashing Dude” be here to take us…? Find out next month. Debbie Corney

New Forest Ponies
When you visit The New Forest there are a group of about 5,000 locals that you can’t but help noticing. They have been hanging around for about 2,000 years and what they don’t know about the forest is not worth knowing. We are talking about the wonderful New Forest Ponies of course! All of the ponies found in the forest are wild in the sense they can roam freely but in fact they are owned by New Forest Commoners. The commoners have the right to graze their ponies and cattle on the open forest throughout the year. It is the animals’ grazing which helps to keep the New Forest’s landscape and rare species which you can enjoy today. The ancient tradition of commoning dates back from before the days when William the Conqueror made this area his private hunting reserve and imposed strict laws on the locals. In return for this, the locals were given the rights to graze their animals on the ‘common’ (this being the land which is now known as the New Forest). Think of the New Forest as one large farm! If you have ever wondered why the grass is so neat and tidy here in the New Forest it is thanks to our ponies and cows! In fact, their grazing and browsing supports rare plant species including wild gladiolus and chamomile. This in turn helps the wider ecosystem and encourages other species to thrive here including the Dartford
warbler and the southern damselfly. In fact, the southern damselfly lays its eggs in the water-filled hoofprints of ponies (and cattle) nearby to the streams that pass through the New Forest. Each year, the ponies are rounded up in what are called drifts. Over thirty of these drifts take place during the summer and autumn each year giving the commoners a chance to check the health of their animals and wean and handle the foals.. You will find New Forest ponies dotted all around our National Park. With around 5,000 of them, it won’t be too long until you spot one. There is plenty of nutritious food available for the ponies and you will often find them grazing across the open moorland in small groups. You may see some of our ponies have silver collars on them. When the ponies are rounded up as part of the drift, some of them have these reflective collars put on them to help make them more visible at night time. However, not all of them are caught and some are good at losing them! If you are driving at night and see a reflective collar on a dark road then take it as an indication that there are animals about, some of which you may not be able to see so easily, so please drive with caution.

Gardening Tips
a beginner’s
GUIDE
Spring Flowering Bulbs
Many bulbs, such as crocus, daffodils and snowdrops will increase naturally in most sites and with different flowering times there will be a succession of interest. If planted in your flower beds, the dying foliage will be hidden by growing herbaceous plants and shrubs. Bulbs are best planted in groups of similar colour and a wonderful show will be created if they are combined with flowers of contrasting colour that bloom at the same time. Try tulips planted with forget-me-nots or wallflowers.
Under trees with no leaves, bulbs will get any available sunlight so will grow happily and give a welcome splash of colour when nothing else has yet woken up. Bulbs can be planted in grass - perhaps in the lawn or a grassy bank - as long as the foliage has time to die down before the first mowing. Grass protects bulbs from mice and squirrels. Try Anemone blanda, chionodoxa, crocus, fritillaria, daffodils (narcissus). Some bulbs are best lifted each year such as tulips and to make this easier you could try planting them in large pots and sinking them in the ground. After the leaves have died down, lift the bulbs and let them dry out. Store somewhere cool and dry and replant in October/November for a spring display. If buying new bulbs, plant as soon as possible and before they start growing. For instance, most daffodils will start producing roots by late summer and other bulbs by midautumn. One exception is snowdrops. These are best bought 'in the green' which means the leaves are already growing and they are then planted and left to spread. Bulbs should always be planted with, at the very least, 2-3 times their own depth of soil above them or even more if the soil is very light. If bulbs become overcrowded, lift them in the dormant season after the foliage has died down. Clean off the soil, leave them to dry then store in paper (not plastic) bags to await replanting.

Tapper Funeral Service brings home gold for its state-of-the-art crematorium Tapper Funeral Service’s Harbour View Woodland Burial Ground and Crematorium has received the gold award and the overall winner’s prize for the cemeteries and crematoria category, at the South & South East in Bloom Awards 2018. The annual competition received fewer than 300 entries from community gardening groups, villages, towns and cities from across the south, hoping to receive a special recognition for their commitment to horticulture and environmental conservation. Judges praised Harbour View and deemed it ‘a most impressive site’ and went on to say: “Out of all the cemeteries and crematoria visited by the judges over the years, Harbour View is an outstanding example of design, layout, maintenance, and customer service. There are no areas of improvements to be made, therefore Harbour View should continue to deliver the current service on offer, at these very high standards.” Steven Tapper, joint managing director at Tapper Funeral Service, said: “We are so proud to have won the overall crematoria category and to achieve gold for Harbour View. The team is committed to working tremendously hard to maintain the high standard of the facilities available for people during their time of need and this accolade affirms this. “It was important for us to design a crematorium which has a spiritual identity and meaning by linking the building to the natural surroundings and wildlife which lives at Harbour View. It is fantastic to see that the judges picked up on this and it is
reflected in their outstanding comments after their site visit.” Harbour View Crematorium is the first crematorium to open in Dorset for more than 30 years, and has seen a £4million investment in the county. It is only the fourth crematorium to open (with Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth being the other three). The crematorium is located within Dorset’s ancient woodland in Lytchett Minster, creating a peaceful environment with panoramic views of Poole Harbour and the Purbeck hills. The 70-acre site presents a unique offering by bringing all the facilities required to conduct a funeral under one roof. The Purbeck Tea Room is the crematorium’s private on-site refreshment space which can be used after a funeral has taken place. Families have the opportunity to plan the funeral they want and will be given the time needed to say goodbye to their loved ones. Harbour View is also more flexible in terms of service options, including enabling funerals to be held at the weekend.

SAFER DRIVING IDEAS DASH CAM
Fully Fitted from only
£65
with this voucher
If you’re a safe, conscientious driver, a dash cam helps protect your no-claims bonus, as well as guarding against dangerous drivers, road rage incidents, ‘crash-for-cash’ scams. Already fitted in over 3 million UK vehicles Motabitz can now offer a Fully Fitted service making this worthwhile addition to your driving an easy no fuss option. For as little as £65 we will supply and hard wire fit (no wires trailing or blocking your cigarette lighter) a Ring Automotive Dash Cam into your car. We’ll advise on location, show you fully how it works and the model supplied has the following features:• The 120° degree lens captures the action - providing evidence if there is an accident, reducing your risk of insurance fraud, and, in some cases, even cutting down your insurance costs. • The device automatically turns itself on when you start your car, and off again when you stop the engine – meaning it won’t drain your battery once you’ve parked up. • Loop recording continuously captures footage, overwriting old files with no manual changes to make. No need to worry about important files though – you can choose to lock the ones you want to keep. You will need an SD card for storage of the footage. We can supply if you don’t have one. We also offer more sophisticated models with viewing screens, parked recording initiated by movement or models with excellent night time recording modes. Just ask us. Our team really are here to help.
REVERSING SENSORS
Parking has become increasingly more difficult and if you have never experienced the joy of parking sensors fitted to the rear of your car you don’t know what your missing. They really help provide an easier parking solution, improve peace of mind and help get you parked safely. They do come with an irritating beep though! For as little as £99 we will supply and fit 4 reversing sensors to the rear bumper of your car and provide an audible warning as objects approach. The audible warning beeps get faster the closer you are to an object. We also offer options to colour code the black sensors to the colour of your car and models with both visual and audible warnings. Talk to us as some vehicles are more complicated to fit but we always give a fully fitted price and stick to it before we start any work.

Naturally good... This is similar to the classic cauliflower cheese but has the added kick of wholegrain mustard which pairs really well with the mature cheddar cheese. The recipe uses a small amount of corn starch/corn flour to thicken the sauce rather than using a traditional roux, this reduces the carbohydrate levels while still making a smooth creamy sauce.
MUSTARD & CHEDDAR BROCCOLI BAKE Ingredients for 4 servings: 1 large head of broccoli 4oz (120ml) heavy cream (double cream) 3 oz (85 g) mature cheddar cheese (extra sharp cheddar cheese) 3 tbsp parmesan cheese (shredded) 1 tsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp corn starch (corn flour) dissolved in 1 tbsp water Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Method: Preheat the oven to 200°c
First prepare the broccoli by cutting it into even sized
florets. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the broccoli. Cook for approximately 3 minutes to slightly soften the broccoli, but not cook it through. Drain and rinse under cold running water to cool. Set to one side while you make the cheese sauce. To make the sauce, place the cream and mustard into a saucepan on a medium low heat, heat the mixture and once it comes to a simmer add the cheddar cheese and stir through until melted. While stirring add the corn starch mixture and continue to cook for a further minute or so until the sauce thickens, add salt and pepper to taste. Make sure that the broccoli is well drained - pat the broccoli dry with paper towels to remove any excess water. Place the broccoli into a baking dish and spoon over the cheese sauce; make sure the broccoli is well covered. Sprinkle over the parmesan cheese and a pinch of paprika if you wish. Place into the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
