APRIL ISSUE 2013

The aim of the monthly Brackley In Business Magazine is to support businesses in order that the local community can flourish. www.brackleyinbusiness.co.uk inbusinessmagazines@gmail.com Office: 0844 6933228 Home: 01386 861478 Mobile: 07899 757473 ADVERTISING Kate Martin FEATURES EDITOR Jen Oakton NEXT ISSUE COPY DATE 17th April 2013 © 2013. All artwork and copy appearing in this publication is copyright and may not be reproduced without written permission from the publisher.

The sun has been out and shining on Brackley (I definitely saw it!).

It’s time to get out in the garden, fill your lungs with fresh air and make a start on preparing the borders for summer colour. If you are feeling especially full of the joys of Spring and inspired by being outdoors, why not think big and enter the Brackley in Bloom competition this year?

If gardening is the last thing you want to do, consider employing a local gardener to do the hard graft for you. Look inside for contact details.

If, by the time this magazine hits the doormat, the sun has disappeared again, then treat yourself to a ticket to see Oliver!, the first musical to be put on by BrackleyPAC (Performing Arts Company). Tickets for the performances to be held at Stowe School on Saturday 13th April can be purchased at MacIntyers Estate Agency in Brackley.

Until next month…

Now that the weather has turned a little warmer, it is time to give your car a little TLC. The harsh cold months may have taken their toll so start with a thorough clean to reduce the risk of any long-term damage.

The underside of a car can become covered with mud and salt and this can

Don’t ignore the inside of your car – this may have been damp throughout the winter months and needs some attention to ensure it stays in tip-top condition.

If your car is not yet due a service, it’s wise to have a seasonal check to make sure all is well. Local garages often offer a low cost springtime check that will highlight any immediate or potential problems, and offer reassurance that your vehicle is fully roadworthy for the months ahead.

Protect your home

As there has been a recent spate of burglaries in this area, take a moment to consider the security of your home.

Burglaries tend to be opportunist crimes so by removing the opportunity, you significantly reduce the likelihood that your home will be targeted.

Start by taking steps to ensure that your home always looks occupied.

Use automatic time switches to turn on lights and the television or radio while you are out.

Install effective external lights.

PIR ones are ideal as they come on when movement is sensed. Think about the areas around your home that give natural cover – ensure that these areas are lit by outside lights and also trim back any hedges or trees that might act as cover.

targeted by a burglar. Fit internal window locks throughout your home.

Keep the area around your home clear of items that could be used to force entry. A householder’s own garden tools, wood, bricks, and ladders are often used to gain entry to the building.

You might wish to invest in a security alarm or other system. Even a dummy alarm box or cctv camera can act as a deterrent to an opportunist burglar.

Pay extra attention to the security of your garden sheds and garages. These are particularly popular targets for thieves during milder weather due to the high value of their contents and the low level of security usually found on them.

Just in case the unthinkable should

Check the security of all your windows and doors. Single glazed windows, windows that are regularly left open and flimsy doors are all easily 26

happen, take photos of all of your belongings and list them with serial numbers and any identifying marks. Keep the receipts for all major purchases together to make insurance claims quicker and smoother. Make sure all computers are password protected as this can buy you time to inform your bank etc.

Brackley Wine Festival Brackley Town Hall – 27 April 2013 The 4th Brackley Wine Festival will provide the opportunity to taste and buy wine from a huge world-wide range and also support local charities The festival will be held at Brackley Town Hall on Saturday 27 April between 12.00 noon and 6.00pm. Stallholders will include Members of the Association of Small Direct Wine Merchants and local independent suppliers. The festival gives the opportunity to taste new wines, guided by experts, where quality and flavour take precedence over brands and mass production.

The festival is being sponsored by Direct Legal & Collections of Brackley and it is organised by Brackley Rotary Club. The event organiser,

Rotarian Trevor Davies, said, “Following the success of previous years’ events the festival provides a tasting opportunity for wine lovers to discover and buy new wines without the risk of the wine not being to their palate.”

“Proceeds from the entrance fee of £5 will benefit Rotary charities. The 2012 festival raised over £900 for Brackley MIND and other charities supported by Rotary.”

The Gardening APRIL

There is no finer sight than a Cherry tree in full flower. Ornamental forms include Japanese Cherries which bear a profusion of fragrant blossoms in pink or white, and many have good autumn colour. Perhaps the most stunning are those varieties with spreading habits and stunning displays of white flowers, such as ‘Shirotae’ and ‘Shirofugen’ Pulmonarias (lungworts) are good under

Grant Award Confirmed Four consecutive Photographer Brian Martin wins followed by consecutive defeats marked a rollercoaster mide-season period in February and early March as Brackley strove to maintain a position in the play-off places come late April. The visit of Boston United was another milestone in a season of great moments. Boston were a league club until 2007. Visits to other clubs competing at the top promise an exciting few weeks leading up to the final fixture of the season at Boston United, The Pilgrims, on 27 April. By then top side Chester FC will have been crowned champions, so superior has the Cheshire side been all season.

sp

Away from the pitch, the completion of the new clubhouse, new floodlights, terracing and other works have transformed St James Park into a stadium that meets the ground grading requirements for top level football. It has been a monumental effort by many people, first to get the funding in place and then to beat the weather to get the work done on time.

In early March a further piece of news just added to the excitement at the club as the Football Foundation confirmed its grant award of £238,000 for the provision of an artificial grass pitch at the club to support football at all levels in Brackley.

These are grand times! Support The Saints!

We have a team to be proud of!
