Welcome...

NOVEMBER 2018 ISSUE

November’s here, with its glorious palette of crunchy fallen leaves, sharp frosts hinting that winter is just around the corner, and Remembrance Sunday to remind us all how much we owe to those who gave their lives for our country.

Bonfire night brings excitement and community spirit at firework displays, whilst we’re looking towards Christmas and planning fabulous festivities without breaking the bank.

Whatever you’re up to this month, stay cosy!

Until next time……..

How can mediation reduce the cost of divorce?

When a couple reaches the difficult decision to separate, it can be hard to see how best to deal with the breakdown of the relationship. For example, there may be children to consider and financial matters to discuss.

advice at any stage during Mediation, if necessary.

At the end of the mediation process, a document can be drafted detailing the agreements that have been reached. This document can then be taken to a solicitor who, in some circumstances, can prepare a binding agreement for approval by the Court.

Mediation is an alternative process to Court proceedings for resolving family disputes. It helps couples make decisions together and retain control over those decisions instead of handing them over to a third party.

Mediation tends to be a cheaper alternative to parties using solicitors to negotiate and is generally required before an application to Court can be made.

Spratt Endicott has a team of dedicated family mediators who are experienced in dealing with these matters.

Mediators are impartial and help couples to talk through their issues and consider all options available to them, then come to a consensus that can benefit both parents and children without the pressure and expense of Court proceedings.

Couples can consult their own solicitor to take

Brackley Computer Repair & Support

The response to our computer repair & support advertising in Buckingham has been overwhelming and we now have lots of new clients on our books, many of whom have signed up to our monthly, remote support cover.

Below are just some of our clients’ thoughts on our services: “I was delighted with your initial response to my request for help.

Unlike many others in your ‘trade’ you were very prompt in

diagnosing and providing a permanent solution to my problem at a very reasonable price. Furthermore you were very patient in dealing with minor questions once the software system had been rebuilt. I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone in a similar position to myself.”

Nicholas Reynell, Brackley “I must say how much I appreciated your help in bringing my computer back to life. I really thought it was going to need replacing but you came and fixed

it in a short space of time at an extremely cost effective price and also extremely quick – it was 3 days I think. I would certainly recommend you to any person with a computer problem. Many thanks for a prompt, efficient and rapid service.”

Bryan Trinder, Brackley “Thank you very much for your e-mail. I am very happy with the work PChelp4U did to my computer.

It works like a dream. Once again thank-you. If needed I will call again for help.”

Brackley Town football Club...

www.brackleytownfc.com After a rather stuttering start to the new season losing 3 of the first 4 games, Saints got into their stride putting together a 9 game unbeaten run and really beginning to look the part.

The run included an FA Cup win over Nuneaton Borough before Northern Premier League Marine put in a powerful performance in the 3rd qualifying round to end Saints’ run.

The National League North is as competitive as ever and any one of a dozen sides could finish top or fill the play-off places. Chorley began like an express train and still lead by a handsome margin but there are signs already that the lead will

come back down over time. Sitting in 7th place Brackley have every chance of finishing in the top places in what is a really even, wellmatched battle.

The club was delighted to attend a special celebration of the FA Trophy Wembley win at the invitation of the town mayor and Brackley Town Council. The re-opening of the splendid town hall was marked by an evening reception attended by players, officials and invited supporters. It was memorable and a fitting tribute by the town for the club’s achievements, not only

Top scorer Lee Ndlovu celebrating again at Wembley but for its work in the wider community.

The season draws on with much to play for. Your support will be welcomed if you can get along to St James Park in Churchill Way or follow the team on the club website.

Gardening this month November in the Garden T he warm dryish weather has held for the first part of October, but autumn rains have finally arrived. This is good news for farmers and growers who need some moisture back in the soil. Does this mean we should expect an early cold snap? Hard winters seem to come in clusters, so be prepared for some proper winter weather before too long. When the real frosts start, it will be a shock for us, and of course particularly for the less hardy plants.

LOOKING GOOD!

Shrubs to grow for autumn leaf colour are numerous. One group that should give a reliable show is the Spindles. Their stems develop curious corky wings and many types give brilliant red hues.

A CHORAL CELEBRATION FOR ARMISTICE DAY

For its next concert, our Brackley Jubilee Choir is making a change from its usual concert dates.

Saturday, 10 November, in St Peters Church, Brackley, sees the choir, with the Cherwell Orchestra, conducted by Stuart Hubble, performing two main works, both marking centenaries.

1918 was the year that Leonard Bernstein, composer of West Side Story, was born. To celebrate this remarkable composers life, the choir will sing the Chichester Psalms, commissioned for the Three Choirs & Festival (Chichester, Salisbury and Winchester) in 1965.

Armistice Day and the ending of World War One will be remembered as the choir sings the popular The Armed Man, a mass for peace, by the Welsh composer, Karl Jenkins. This work was commissioned by the Royal Armouries Museum for the millennium.

The programme begins at 7.30. Tickets are £12 with under-16s free.

Every Saturday during term time 10.30-11.30am Creation Club with Ken and Estelle.

Thursday 15th November - 7pm-7.30pm The Brackley Library Cinema Club showing of “Edie”. CERT U. £5 per person, book your seats at the library.
