You can easily do your bit for charity this summer and have bags of fun while doing it!

The second Brackley Charity Zumbathon takes place between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday 7th July and is guaranteed (well almost!) to make the sun shine on Brackley town!

Zumba has taken Brackley by storm during the past 18 months! It’s a dance fitness program which features exotic rhythms set to high-energy Latin and international beats. Before participants know it, they’re getting fit and their energy levels are soaring! It’s easy to do, effective and for every shape, size and gender.

So, whether you are a Zumba expert or a complete beginner, the charity Zumbathon is the perfect excuse to get out and dance!

Quite simply, it’s a two hour Zumba party... go for it!

There’s no sponsorship money to find – you just buy a ticket, turn up and have fun!

Visit brackleycharityzumbathon.pixelhorizon.co.uk for more information.

Be quick though as tickets are limited and are selling fast! Adult tickets cost £10 and child tickets are £5 each – all the profits go to this year’s chosen charity, the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

When you're done with watching the Olympics, there’s plenty more to look forward to in Brackley this summer!

Brackley’s Music Festival is on NOW and there are so many performances to enjoy that you’ll be truly spoilt for choice.

Holiday Motoring If you’ve got a long car journey this summer, take a little time to carry out a few essential checks on your vehicle.

First, check your tyres’ tread depth and pressure, and look for signs of wear.

Make sure you check the spare tyre too.

Next make sure your brakes function properly and check your oil levels.

Ensure that your engine coolant is at the recommended level and that your cooling fan activates.

If your car does overheat during a journey, turn your heater on to full and start the air conditioning to relieve the situation.

Do you need removals?

New up and coming business...

Based in Brackley, Northamptonshire The Ginger Tea Company set out to supply local residents with high quality teas in both loose leaf and bagged forms. The company picked up pace within a matter of months and now supply to several locations

throughout the UK. A large part of this growth was down to participation in several local food markets. We are now booking in more local fêtes and fares, where we sell our teas by the cup and also in dry state.

Coming soon we will be offering our services at private functions, including tea parties and weddings. www.gingerteacompany.co.uk

Look the best you can!

If the Great British weather is getting your hair down, there’s a lady in Brackley who can work miracles that lasts for months!”

Sounds too good to be true?

We had to find someone who had given it a try – and we didn’t have to look too far before we found a very happy lady, singing Jo’s praises!

Barbara’s in her sixties, and has spent years trying to keep her very frizzy, naturally curly hair shiny and sleek.

She’s tried everything, with little success – until now!

“It’s the most amazing thing I’ve had done to my hair!” she enthused. “I can get my hair damp, or brush it, without it turning into a fluffy frizz! It’s so worthwhile – Jo calls at my house every 12 weeks or so, I have a trim and the Kebelo treatment, and then I can forget about my frizzy hair for months!”

Joanne Howe (JoJo) is a qualified hairdresser with 20 years experience; for the last 9 she has capably mixed motherhood with going Mobile – and now she is offering the great new Kebelo system – a 100 day celebrity–shiny blow dry – in the comfort of your own home!

With an illustrious local heritage JoJo spent 9 years at Richard Andrews and also a year with Paula’s Cutting Company both in Brackley – she has the experience and expertise to offer you the perfect style, Mobile.

PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELLING

PAT THOMPSON

MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, MBACP. •I am a registered Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience, the last 16 years being in private practice in this area.

•I work with a broad range of people from many walks of life including: - Some who are deeply unhappy, without knowing why.

- Some who cannot break out of abusive patterns of behaviour which are damaging to themselves or others.

- Some who are overwhelmed with powerful feelings, thoughts and emotions and cannot make sense of them.

- Some who have lost their way and a sense of who they are.

These different issues show up as:

STRESS, ANXIETY & DEPRESSION, EATING DISORDERS, RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS, LOW SELF-ESTEEM, PHOBIAS & OBSESSIONS,

to name a few...

•I believe that people’s present day problems are often rooted in the past and can be ingrained, I can help to resolve these and put them into perspective.

Olympic Secrets How do Olympians do it?

Mere mortals often find it difficult to muster enough enthusiasm for a trip to the gym or a quick jog around the block so how do the elite athletes keep going?

More importantly, what advice would they give to encourage others to get fit and stay fit?

Most Olympians agree that a positive attitude is the key to success. Work out what you want to achieve from each fitness session and focus on that. Then think about how this will help you reach your long term goal.

Finding fun ways to work out will help you to keep going. Not everyone is suited to the gym so try dancing, martial arts, or netball.

Find other motivated people to train with as this will help you stay on track. Having a fitness buddy with similar goals will also make you push yourself harder.

Make sure you get enough rest. Your body repairs itself while you sleep and relaxation helps you to stay mentally strong.

Brackley Music Festival 2012 It’s back! The much anticipated Brackley Music Festival runs from 29th June until 14th July and promises to make the summer bigger and better!

Bringing together a wide range of musical talent – young and old, amateur and professional – the Brackley Music Festival reaches out to all those with an enthusiasm for live music. Whether you are a performer or a member of the audience, the Festival offers a varied programme of events for your musical pleasure.

Local talent showcased during the Brackley Music Festival includes the Brackley Band, conducted

by Jason Glynn, 5Ways Barbershop, Brackley Male Voice Choir and the Brackley Jazz Orchestra.

Page 23

From further afield, Brackley welcomes BAFTA nominated entertainer Richard Digance, a unique performer who combines music with song, stories, and comedy. Also appearing are Opera Anywhere, an ensemble company who make opera accessible to all through their lively, entertaining performances (sung in English!).

Look out for Jiveoholics - they take the tunes of the 1940s and the early 50s and give them some pizzazz resulting in a show that guarantees to make you want to move your feet!

One of the community highlights of the Brackley Music Festival is the Festival in the Park. Last year’s event was hugely successful and this year promises to be just as memorable, with amazing performers including some of Brackley’s finest young talent. The Festival in the Park will take place on Saturday 30th June between noon and 10pm and entry is by donation.

For further information on these and all the other Brackley Music Festival events, visit www.brackleymusicfestival.co.uk . Tickets can be purchased in advance via the website, at the Town Hall or Bliss Fashions.

Summer Survival If you are planning plenty of days out with the kids this summer, it’s a good idea to put together a small summer survival kit to help you deal with many eventualities!

Your kit should include: Wet wipes and Hand Sanitizer. There’s no replacement for washing your hands well with soap and clean water but if you can’t get to a sink, then wet wipes and an alcohol-based hand sanitizer will be a good start.

Wet wipes are also useful to refresh the face.

Sun screen is a must for both the kids and yourself.

Use a cream with an SPF of at least 15 and reapply regularly. A lip balm with SPF of 15+ will help prevent dry lips. If you do get mild sunburn, relieve the pain by cooling the skin (get out of the sun and have a cool shower), drinking lots of water, and applying an after sun cream with aloe vera.

Insect Sting Cream and Insect Repellent.

Use a good insect repellent for adults and children who tend to be popular with the little critters. Also carry a tube of insect sting cream to bring relief after stings. Keep antihistamine medicine in the car or cupboard.

Future Olympian Local girl Hannah Shaw has more reason than many to watch the Olympics this summer... she plans to compete in the 2020 Games!

Hannah swims with Northampton Swimming Club’s ‘Junior Olympic’ squad, a select group of talented swimmers who currently train six times a week in Northampton, often when most of us are fast asleep in our beds.

10 year old Hannah has swum competitively since she was seven and her abilities were spotted early on by NSC’s coaches. Recently she was crowned the Overall County Champion for her age group – a huge achievement!

Hannah takes it all in her stride and embraces swimming as a big part of her life but, like other 10 year old girls, she also enjoys other activities including Guides and dancing. While she would love to swim the Channel, compete in the Olympics, and be the next Rebecca Adlington, Hannah would also love to be an author and live in a lighthouse. We wish her the very best of luck!

Holiday Saves Heading abroad for a holiday this summer?

Here are a few tips to keep costs down...

Page 29

Brackley & Buckingham Dog Training Club

If you need to use your mobile phone overseas, then contact your network before you go to discuss the best way to keep roaming charges low. Some providers offer extras to your usual price plan. Texting while overseas is usually the cheapest option. Be careful not to surf the web or collect email too often on your phone as the costs do add up.

If you are given the choice of paying for goods or a meal in either sterling or local currency, it’s usually better to choose the local currency as the conversion rate used in shops and restaurants is generally unfavourable.

?

Buy suntan lotion before you fly as it is often cheaper in the UK than abroad.

Book airport parking well in advance to save money.

Save on holiday car hire insurance by buying independent cover before you fly.

Brackley European Association A resounding success that was! At last, after months of fundraising, planning and sheer hard work, all done by volunteers, it happened – our fantastic weekend, 18th – 21st May! 25 French visitors came from Pavillons-sousBois, to celebrate 40 years of continuous twinning.

We began with an English teatime reception on Friday with home baked scones, jam and cream and anniversary cup cakes. We progressed on Saturday, some of us, to an afternoon tour of Broughton Castle, followed in the evening by an energetic Barn Dance at Brackley Bowls Club – the instructions were called in both French and English and the confusion was total!!

Sunday began with a guided walk up and down the High Street led by members of the Brackley History Society. This time the spoken information was only in English but the French visitors were given an illustrated booklet, written in their own language, to give them an introduction to some of Brackley’s history.

The Morris Men danced for us in the Piazza, at the end of which, our new Mayor, Chris Cartmell, in full regalia and attended by the Town Clerk and the Mace Bearer, led the

assembled company into lunch in the Upper Town Hall. There were Town Councillors, County Councillors, two Mayors, two Deputy Mayors, a throng of BEA members, our French visitors and special guest, Andrea Leadsom, our MP. The food provided by the Red Lion was excellent; the wine flowed; a celebration cake was cut; charters signed, gifts exchanged; toasts and speeches made. It was a really great occasion; new friendships made, existing ones deepened.

And now, it’s all systems go as we plan for our visit in September to Montabaur, our twinning town in Germany but before then, there’s a barbeque on the evening of June 28th, a wine tasting evening on July 26th and our usual monthly meeting on the last Thursday of the month in August.

So come and join us; it’s a lot of fun and new members are always very welcome.

Jubilee Concert Success!

What an evening!

Brackley Male Voice Choir and Friends celebrated the Jubilee in fine style on Monday night. After a very wet Sunday and a cold day forecast for the day it was decided to move the concert into the Magdalen School Chapel.

The concert was opened by the choir who were in fine voice. The first of the evenings soloists was Jonathon Heslop (Tenor), the youngest choir member in his debut solo performance. 14 year old Gabriel Furse then performed three trumpet pieces before the female soloists took to the stage! The first half was rounded off with beautiful vocal performances from Tess Jones, Jean Parker and Kayleigh Manley along with three memorable Cello pieces from Jenny Hubble (who, along with Stuart Hubble, also accompanied some of the soloists).

The second half kicked off with two lively pieces from the Choir’s talented accompanist Jacob

To complete the evening, the Choirs Musical Director Trevor Jones first rocked the Chapel with two solo Saxophone pieces before picking up his baton again to conduct the choir in their rousing patriotic finale songs and the National Anthem.

Family Fun Chris and Brigitta Swallow started growing more than twenty years ago, just outside the pretty village of Mixbury.

With much help from family members and loyal staff, we now occupy two acres and are still growing! Propagation has developed too: taking cuttings in a cold polytunnel with babies watching from a pram has now moved on, with a nice warm barn and team of two.

‘Roses grow on you’ Hundreds of different roses are grown at Swallows, from the cutest little ‘patio’ roses to ramblers that will cover a house. If we don’t have the variety you’re after, we can always recommend one of ours to fit the bill.

We also grow many other types of plants, including a full range of shrubs, climbers (inc. clematis), conifers and trees. Herbaceous perennials are increasingly popular and we add new varieties every year.

The Garden in July Fruit or flower?

Fruit and ornamental trees are vital in many ways and every year we sell thousands.

These can be in the form of native whips for hedging/woodland or as trees of all sizes for gardens or other projects Traditional winter planting can be extended through the year with our range of container grown trees and fruit bushes.

Growers’ prices and zero ‘plant miles’ Because we are growers, we offer the majority of our plants at prices substantially less than garden centres.

So, go on, give us a try. We are all about personal attention and advice that you can only get from a small local business.
