Welcome to your June issue...

W

hat a momentous few days we’re about to witness as June arrives and all eyes will be fixed on Her Majesty the Queen.

Hopefully, the weather will be kind, for everyone to enjoy the spectacular range of activities and events which will be offered to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee.

The Yaxley Festival in May turned out to be a really enjoyable weekend, as we supported the Young Technicians Academy which offers valuable training in the live events industry, and which has made such good progress since opening last year.

Finally, love and Happy Father’s Day greetings go to my dad Bill, father-in Law Rich and husband Chris.

Claire x

This month will be dominated by celebrations surrounding Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Countless events have been planned for the occasion, both locally and nationally, and of course an extra Bank Holiday has been added to the calendar to mark this landmark.

Whatever your political persuasion and feelings about the monarchy in general, there’s no doubt HM the Queen deserves maximum respect for devoting her life to the service of the country.

The Queen has been the figurehead of the country for the past seventy years with most of the population being born during her long and illustrious reign, so let’s mark this historic occasion in the right way and unite to celebrate the second Elizabethan age…

Your Garden

SPONSORED BY THE SHED SHOP

une heralds the beginning of summer. Not only will your crops benefit from the longer, sunnier days, so too will the weeds! Here are a few tips for keeping them at bay:

• Hoe regularly and particularly when the soil is dry as the severed and exposed roots will die quickly. If you hoe when the soil is damp, remove the remains so that they won’t re-grow.

• Spread mulches such as garden compost, well-rotted manure, or bark chips, to suppress weeds or use lightproof membrane to kill more established weeds.

• Make sure that you don’t let weeds flower, you will only get new crops of weeds from their seeds.

Garden pests can have a devastating effect on crops and, with the latest concerns over chemical pest control, an interesting alternative is using food-grade “diatomaceous earth”, good for slugs and other pests as it dehydrates them. For more information, have a look at “How to Use Diatomaceous Earth for Organic Pest Control in the Garden” (soilseedandgarden.com) As the month progresses, thinning and planting out to final positions will start to overtake sowing as the main activity, as this month offers the last opportunity to sow many seeds. If the weather is dry, then water your seed drills well before sowing – this way the young plants will develop a good root system. It is also your last opportunity for sowing runner beans and main crop carrots. Sweetcorn can be planted out and as it is self-pollinating it is better sown closely in a block. Mark out a square

or rectangle and plant at about 35-40cm (14-18inches) apart in each direction.

Other jobs include: • Plant out vegetables that you have grown from seed but make sure you harden them off before planting out in their final position.

• Thin out seedlings and plant others in their final growing positions.

• Earth up potatoes and, towards the end of the month, harvest earlies.

• Protect strawberries by mulching around them with straw to keep mud splashes off, and keep birds off your ripening strawberry crop by covering your plants with netting.

• Cut down broad beans and peas just above the surface and use for compost but leave the roots in the ground as a useful source of nitrogen.

• Feed tomatoes with a high potash feed.

• Once you are sure that frosts are over, you can plant out the more tender crops such as aubergines, peppers, chillies, courgettes, marrows, and squashes.

• Succession sow beetroot, salad crops and carrots.

• Sow Florence fennel, traditionally after the ‘longest day’, June 21st, as it is less likely to bolt – sowing in succession is a good idea.

• Brussels sprouts, leeks, sprouting broccoli and the last of the summer, autumn, and red cabbages and the first of winter cabbages can also be planted.

• Protect carrots with insect proof netting and net brassicas to deter pigeons.

Remember to keep everything well-watered!

FIVE HABITS TO DEVELOP TO BECOME FINANCIALLY SECURE

A

s a financial advisor what I strive for is financial security for my clients’ future. So here are five habits to start developing on the road to financial security:

NAZ MILLER

1) Make savings a habit: Treat savings as a bill you must pay. Set up an automated transfer like a standing order every month on pay day. Get into the right mindset and see this as a necessity rather than it’s something nice to do or you will do it sometime in the future. Start small, say £30 a month, and once this becomes a habit you can always increase. Start small so it doesn’t break the budget until it becomes a habit and way of life.

2) Look at triggers for impulse spending: Analyse this. Look at your past impulse spending. Next time you see something you would like to buy think whether you need this item or not. Try to resist the urge to make a purchase without thinking about it. Give yourself twenty-four to forty-eight hours to think about it.

3) Save and invest for you and your family’s future: Have emergency money saved up for a rainy day – adequate insurance so your dependants are protected if the worst was to happen.

Make sure you have an up-to-date will in place.

4) Manage your debts: If you have unsecured debt like credit cards and personal loans, look at the interest rate you are being charged. Make a list of the highest interest rates and draw up a plan to make overpayment.

Keep it small, say £10 to £20 a month, make it a habit and do it consistently and increase the amount as the habit becomes easier.

5) Keep on top of your bills: A good habit here is to pay your bills as soon as they come in.

This way you don’t forget and incur fines or penalties. Automate as much as possible to help you budget more efficiently.

I hope this helps and, for a more in-depth look, please contact me.

MALLETTS

is still making its mark in March

G

enerations of March residents have flocked to a Broad Street store to purchase jewellery, watches and giftware for themselves and their loved ones... and generations of the same family have been there to serve them.

Gary Richmond is the third generation of his family to work at the shop, following grandfather Douglas, father Roger and uncle Trevor, having taken over HR Mallett & Co in April. He is assisted in the store – now renamed Malletts – by his sister, niece and business partner Linzi, and two other staff, offering a wide range of quality products and services including rings, bracelets and necklaces, watches and clocks, gold and silver buying (recycling) and the sale of pre-loved items, as well as carrying out repairs, and alterations.

Gary said: “Everyone has been so pleased that the shop has remained open following the retirement of my dad and uncle. Linzi and I thought long and hard before deciding to take on the shop, but the reaction from the public has been amazing.”

He joined the business in 1984 and works primarily in the workshop, repairing and cleaning jewellery, fitting watch batteries and straps and servicing clocks.

Linzi, who is front of house, said Malletts is a member of the Company of Master Jewellers which enables it to source a wide and exclusive range of items that are not usually in stock.

She said: “If someone wants a specific item, like an exclusive watch or diamond ring, we are able to source it. We strive to provide not only a friendly customer service but also a professional one. We always aim to satisfy all our customers’ requirements.”

Next year marks the centenary of the shop being opened in 1923 by Reggie Mallett and Gary and Linzi are looking at ways of celebrating the milestone.

Malletts is located at 32 Broad Street, March PE15 8TG. Tel: (01354) 653162; Email: mallettsmarch@ gmail.com. Opening hours: Tuesday-Friday, 8.30am-4.30pm; Saturday 8.30-1.30pm (closed Sunday & Monday).

MAKE SURE YOUR BENEFICIARIES BENEFIT You can’t always get what you want... but with a Property Protection Trust, you can get what you need to keep more of your biggest asset in the hands of your intended beneficiaries.

You have homeowner’s insurance to protect your house from things like floods, fires, and burglary.

Do you have protection against unintended beneficiaries, care costs, and financial mistakes?

Property Protection Trust A PPT (or Property Protection Trust) is a trust built into your will. It can do three things for your beneficiaries: Prevent Step-Family Takeover At least as far as the house is concerned. You can designate your beneficiaries, and they will be the ones who benefit from the sale of the house that you own. And no-one else.

Remove Their Inheritance from Future Care Costs Calculation Get your PPT set up now and avoid seeing it used to pay for the future care costs of your surviving spouse. The local council will do an asset test.

Keep your portion of the house out of it.

Stop the House from Being Squandered If your partner struggles with making good financial decisions, it's best to take your half of the value of the house and put it into trust where both they, and their potential creditors, cannot use it.

Finance

How To Home In ON ALLOWANCES Are you making the most of your allowances on your income from your residential property?

If you receive income from letting a room in your property or renting out another property permanently or as a holiday let, there are various reliefs and allowances that can be applied to your income to reduce your tax bill.

Chris Goad, partner at our March office, examines the reliefs and allowances that you may need to consider when completing your tax return.

The Rent a Room Scheme The Rent a Room Scheme lets you earn up to a threshold of £7500 per year tax-free from letting out furnished accommodation in your home. This is halved if you share the income with your partner or someone else.

You can let out as much of your home as you want.

The tax exemption is automatic if you earn less than £7500. If you earn more than this you must complete a tax return and you can then opt into the scheme at any time if you are a resident landlord or run a bed and breakfast or guest house and claim your tax-free allowance on your tax return.

You can choose not to opt into the scheme and instead record your income and expenses on the property pages of your tax return.

You cannot use the scheme for homes converted into separate flats.

Property Income Allowance If you are a landlord earning rental income from your property you can get up to £1000 rental income taxfree each year from Property Income Allowance.

If you earn less than £1000 from rental income, you don’t need to do anything. However, if you claim the Property Income Allowance, you cannot claim any other rental expenses.

If you own a property jointly with others (spouses, civil partners, etc.), you can each claim this £1000 allowance – even though you divide the rental income between yourselves.

If you’re renting out a buy-to-let or a second property, usually your expenses are higher than £1000 a year, so only use this allowance if you can’t find your receipts or if in one year you somehow have just a few expenses.

Residential Finance Costs Relief for finance costs on residential properties is restricted to the basic rate of Income Tax. Finance costs include mortgage interest, interest on loans to buy furnishings and fees incurred when taking out or repaying mortgages or loans. No relief is available for capital repayments of a mortgage or loan.

When completing a tax return for income from a residential property it is possible to bring forward losses from previous years.

There are many things to consider when using a residential property for income purposes.

At Stephenson Smart we are experts in helping people fully understand their tax and finances.

Please get in touch if we can help you.

PLATINUM JUBILEE 1952-2022

A

ll of us at Vine Law would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Queen on her Platinum Jubilee.

There have been many changes in the seventy years of the Queen’s reign, including the increase in the average lifespan. When the Queen came to the throne in the 1950s the average lifespan in the UK was around sixty-five. In the 2020s the average lifespan is around eighty-one.

With the state pension age in the 1950s being sixty for woman and sixty-five for men, not everyone got to enjoy a long retirement.

It’s understandable, then, that there was no real process in place for someone to help you manage your affairs in later life. Only in 1985 did we see the introduction of the Enduring Power of Attorney, a document that allowed you to choose someone to help you manage your finances.

In 2007, the Enduring Power of Attorney was replaced by the Lasting Power of Attorney which allows you not only to choose the person or people who you wish to help you manage your finances, but also someone to make decisions about your healthcare if you aren’t able to make those decisions for yourself.

We feel that putting Lasting Powers of Attorney in place is as important as making a will and, in some cases, it can prove to be even more important.

Without a will, there are rules about how your estate can be divided and those rules might be fine for your family situation. Without putting in place LPAs no-one, not even your spouse, can manage your finances or make decisions about your healthcare for you.

• • • • •

We were contacted in late 2021 by a client who had decided that she wished to put LPAs in place for herself. She wanted to ensure that she could be looked after in the event she was unable to make her own decisions. She had discussed these with her husband, but initially he was reluctant to put them in place.

After her visit to our offices, she went home and discussed it with him again. She also gave him a copy of our leaflet about LPAs. With the benefit of the additional information she provided, he then decided that it would be sensible to get them put in place.

Unfortunately, since this visit to us late in 2021 his mental capacity has deteriorated to such an extent that the former software engineer now struggles with basic jobs on his own computer.

As the couple had maintained separate finances, without the benefit of an LPA his wife would not be able to help him manage his finances, nor, potentially, would she have any input about his long-term care if a time comes when he isn’t able to remain living at home.

If you’d like to book an appointment to discuss these in more detail or if you’d like a copy of our leaflet please contact Cath Collins or Kieren Cross on (01945) 898090 or email on cathcollins@vinelaw.co.uk or kierencross@vinelaw.co.uk

To mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we are offering a 20% discount on our standard fees for preparing Lasting Powers of Attorney.

PHISHING

couple of years ago, we wrote an article about phishing scams. In case you didn’t read it, or have forgotten, phishing is a way in which fraudsters attempt to trick you into providing your user names and passwords to a malicious website.

Most of these scams come in the form of emails, claiming to be from organisations such as internet service providers, banks, PayPal, eBay, Google or Apple.

The emails will look genuine with all the right icons, logos, and fonts that you’d expect to see and will ask you to log-in, via the link in the email, to the ‘secure’ page of the website with your email address and password.

This link of course will take you to a false destination, usually a page that requests you to enter sensitive information like credit card numbers, passwords etc.

The scammers use this page to harvest your inputted data and

then use that data to fraudulently pretend to be you.

Google has published a quiz that tests users’ abilities to distinguish genuine emails from phishing ones and helps them to learn to spot the differences. The quiz is quick, fun and was designed to take into account the latest and most sophisticated phishing techniques (it is based on security trainings held with more than ten thousand journalists, activists, and politicians from around the world).

In total, there are eight examples that Google tests you on, some representing legitimate emails and others phishing scams. Using the information in each example email, you choose whether it’s real or fake. After you choose, the quiz will inform you of the correct answer and then tell you why the message is a phishing scam or not.

Don’t be discouraged if you get a low score: in fact, that’s what Google wants. The whole point of the quiz is to show people how incredibly good scammers are at creating legitimate-looking emails and present you with tools on how to spot them.

To take the Google quiz, type https://phishingquiz.withgoogle. com/ into your browser address bar or simply search for Google Phishing Quiz on your internet browser.

Sadly, crooks will never let up on designing new ways in which to scam innocent users. So, it is up to us to remain aware and proactive.

If you do receive an email from a big-name company that looks suspicious, forward it onto their fraud team who will inspect it and try to stop the crooks from using that email server. But most importantly, NEVER click on any links to web pages.

We all enjoy privacy when it comes to our garden, but what happens when overgrown trees or high hedges cause problems? Complaints of overhanging branches and conifers blocking out the light are all too common and 15:38 may create ill feeling between neighbours. Try to resist taking matters into your own hands, so discuss the issue with your neighbour first.

Advice: 1) You have a common law right to cut back tree branches that overhang onto your property. The law states that any branches cut off belong to the person on whose land the tree originally grew, so you should ask your neighbour if they want them back, or if they are happy for you to dispose of them.

2) Don’t just throw trimmings back over the boundary – this could constitute 'fly tipping'.

3) When it comes to fruit on trees; even if they are growing on branches which overhang your property, the fruit still belongs to your neighbour. You are therefore effectively stealing if you pick these for yourself without your neighbour’s permission.

4) Be careful to check if any trees are subject to a preservation order – your local authority will be able to tell you this. If you cut down a tree with a preservation order, you will be guilty of an offence.

5) A tree belongs to whoever owns the property upon which the tree trunk originally grows. The owner has a duty to maintain this tree so that it does not cause a hazard. Therefore, if branches are broken and hanging precariously, the owner should remove these.

6) If you choose to cut down overhanging branches, or trim trees, you will have to pay for the cost of doing so yourself. Try speaking to your neighbour, however, as you may be able to reach some sort of agreement in relation to any gardening work required, though they are not obliged to contribute to this cost.

If you are considering this course of action – or even have trees on your own property which need attention – it may pay to call in the experts if the project is something you don’t feel confident to tackle yourself. Find out tried and tested tree surgeons at www.safelocaltrades.com JUNE 2022

MADAOS IS WORKING ‘9 TO 5’ There’s still time for local music fans to get tickets for the MADAOS show ‘9 to 5 The Musical’.

It is packed with great tunes written by “Queen of Country”, Dolly Parton, and has a fast-moving and engaging story.

CELEBRATE THE FENS DAY ‘Celebrate the Fens Day’ returns this year on Saturday, June 18th and will form part of ‘Celebrate the Fens Weekend’ on June 17th-19th.

The aim is to bring people together to take part in various events and activities taking place across the Fens of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Lincolnshire and Suffolk, to celebrate everything about the Fens.

The celebration was created by Fascinating Fens, who believe in bringing people together to explore and promote the Fens through creativity, heritage, nature, wellbeing and accessibility.

If you would like to stay up to date with activities and events happening and for more ideas, please follow the group’s blog, or on Twitter and Facebook. More information can also be found at www.fascinatingfens.com

Starring Claire Lilley as Violet, Amy Carter as Judy, Eleanor Pettet as Doralee, Hannah Furlong as Roz and Stewart Bettles as Hart, there will be a huge amount of talent on stage, supported by an ensemble of on and off-stage singers. The show is also full of movement, dance and humour.

The performances will be at the MCC, Station Road, March from Wednesday, June 22nd to Saturday, June 25th at 7.30pm, and a matinee on the Saturday starting at 2.30pm.

Tickets are available at www.ticketsource.co.uk/ madaos, and cost £12 (plus a £1.01 booking fee), or on the door.

ACCESSIBLE TOILETS SET FOR BROAD STREET Two state-of-the-art accessible toilets are set to be installed in Fenland after Fenland District Council successfully bid for £160,000 from the Government.

The toilets, called Changing Places toilets after a campaign which began in 2005, are intended for people with a range of severe and profound disabilities who need specialised facilities when they are out and about.

Larger than standard accessible toilets, the Changing Places toilets provide extra equipment such as hoists, curtains, and adult-sized changing benches, and space for carers, to enable people to use them safely and comfortably.

The council will add the new facilities to new toilets that will be built in Broad Street, March, as part of the March Future High Streets Fund regeneration work and the new Community Pavilion being developed for Wisbech Park.

JORDAN FIGHTS FOR PROJECT HOME Plans to expand a successful community youth project by Fenland’s very own European Featherweight Boxing Champion, Jordan Gill, are gathering pace.

The Chatteris boxer, who sensationally knocked out former European champ, Karim Guerfi in February to take home the belt, set up his Jordan Gill Next Generation foundation in 2019 to inspire, motivate and positively impact the next generation through boxing.

The Henson Road oriental garden

MARCH GARDENS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Local people are being invited to visit Mr and Mrs Nielsen Bom’s garden at 45 Henson Road, March and help raise funds for the NHS on Saturday, June 11th and Sunday, June 12th, from 10am-4pm.

Visitors will be able to view a large collection of bonsai and unusual plants and trees in an oriental garden, with water features and a pond, described as having a relaxing and peaceful feel. Anyone interested in visiting the garden should contact (01354) 656185.

Entrance fee £3, coffee and cake £2.50.

In addition, if you’re looking for another afternoon out then come and enjoy a trio of beautiful gardens on Saturday, July 1st from 1pm-5pm. Each garden is different in character but open in aid of good causes, namely East Anglian Air Ambulance and St John’s Church. All are within a five-minute walk of each other at 86 and 141 Elliott Road and 129 West End. There will be stalls and refreshments at each.

A £5 programme gives entry to all three, available on the day or in advance. For further details or programmes email rcvoss@hotmail.co.uk

ENERGY REBATE FOR RESIDENTS

The not-for-profit venture is already delivering numerous sessions at schools and community centres across Fenland but plans are in the pipeline to expand the project further so even more young people can benefit.

Partners, including Fenland District Council and Cambridgeshire County Council, are working with Jordan and the team to find a suitable venue in the district for a permanent Next Generation facility, where even more activities can be delivered.

Jordan, who is also WBA International Featherweight Champion and has won 27 of 28 professional fights, said: “The foundation isn’t just about boxing.

It’s about building kids’ self-esteem, building communication skills, playing games, teaching discipline and respect, building aspirations, and supporting them to follow their dreams.

“Our immediate goal is to get our own facility and we’re working with Fenland District Council and partners to try and make that possible.”

Fenland District Council leader Cllr Chris Boden said: “It’s very apparent that the work Jordan and the Next Generation team are doing in Fenland is already having a huge impact on the lives of young people. We are looking to support them wherever we can to help them go from strength to strength, including helping to find a permanent facility.”

Fenland Council taxpayers have begun to receive their £150 energy rebate to help with the impact of rising energy costs, with the first payments landing in bank accounts.

Fenland District Council has been rolling out the Council Tax rebate scheme to households across the district, after the Government announced it would be funding the support package in February.

Households in Council Tax bands A-D which were liable for Council Tax on April 1st, 2022 are eligible for the one-off payment, including those who receive Council Tax support and certain exempt dwellings. The rebate does not have to be repaid.

WILD ABOUT MARCH

HERE BE DRAGONS

By Joan Munns, of March Wildlife Group & March & District Woodland Group

B

y June there should be dragonflies on the wing and they are fascinating insects. Fossils of dragonfly-like creatures more than 300 million years old with a wingspan of nearly one metre, have been found. There are twenty-seven species in Britain of which some are migrants. In addition, there are seventeen species of damselflies that we will look at another time.

Dragonflies spend up to four years living in water as larvae before emerging as adults. They are voracious predators. They project their mouth parts forward out of their bodies to grab a food item that foolishly thought it was a safe distance away.

Dragonflies mate with the male gripping the female and attaching his abdomen to her thorax. They will fly around coupled and the female will deposit her fertilised eggs in the water. Some species attach their eggs to underwater vegetation.

They can fly at speeds of 35-60mph and change direction so fast watching them can be frustrating.

They can move wings independently allowing them to hover and reverse making them appear like mini helicopters. On warm sunny days they will often settle, always with their wings stretched right out, sometimes allowing close observation if you approach very slowly and do not cast a shadow 30

D I S C O V E R I N G

March

Dragonflies are harmless to people having no bite or sting but they are amazing insect predators tackling even something as large as a butterfly. They have two huge compound eyes each with thousands of lenses plus three eyes with simple lenses.

This gives them vision beyond our imagination If they see a flying insect, they calculate its direction and speed and fly to intercept it. Their success rate is well over ninety percent so, for insects at least, they really are dragons; but they don’t breathe fire!

As long as it is not raining, Gault Wood Bug Hunt is on Saturday, July 2nd, from 2pm. Nets will be available and we will have books to aid identification.

Please don’t try to catch dragonflies, just admire them from a distance, they are wonderful.

Next Gault Wood work party is on Saturday, June 11th at 10am.

If you'd like to support our work at the wood as a volunteer, please contact the Woodland Trust using this email: volunteering@ woodlandtrust.org.uk Alternatively, you might like to support the Nature's Calendar project, which focuses on phenology, which is the study of plant and animal reaction to climate change. Nature's Calendar (woodlandtrust.org.uk) JUNE 2022

Illustration: Larva

The larvae do not go through a pupal stage; when ready, they climb up some waterside vegetation and the adult emerges. If you look at the line drawing of a larva you will notice it has vestigial wings. When emerging as an adult the dragonfly is at its most vulnerable. It is a fairly slow process because the wings have to be fully inflated and set before the insect can take flight. As adults they can live from a week up to about eight weeks.

Fenland charity is hosting summer events to fund free debt help for local people

By Lin Stanton, Centre Manager for Fenland CAP

Christians Against Poverty (CAP) is being helped by local churches to keep their Fenland Centre open and help local people out of debt.

F

enland’s Centenary and Wisbech Baptist church have partnered with Christians Against Poverty (CAP) for the thirteenth year, helping local people break free from crushing debt.

Lin Stanton, CAP’s Fenland Debt Centre manager, said: “Over the years, we’ve met so many people who have taken the brave first step out of debt by calling us; we know this takes a lot of courage.

“Our friendly CAP team are able to provide local people with the practical support they need to start their journey out of debt, plenty of emotional support and encouragement, and point them towards agencies that can help with providing them with any emergency aid they need.

“CAP is only able to provide this service free of charge because we are funded through a number of generous individuals across the Fenland area – many of whom belong to local churches. We don’t take it for granted that we can only do what we do because local people are happy to support CAP out of their own pocket.”

However, in spite of this, the CAP’s Fenland Debt Centre still needs to fundraise to stay open.

In particular, to have the resources they need to welcome new clients

that they expect to see as a result of the cost-of-living crisis.

As a response, both CAP’s Fenland team and their supporting church/es took part in a quiz afternoon last month, where they surpassed their expectations and raised £350! It gave them the boost they needed to think about how they could continue fundraising to help keep Fenland’s CAP Centre open and support people out of debt.

CAP’s Fenland team are now preparing to host their next fundraising event, a floral High Tea surrounded by foliage and flowers at a local nursery on June 23rd, at 3pm-5pm. Tickets are £10 and available from linstanton@capuk. org 07787 204359.

Lin said: “We’ll be absolutely thrilled if we can raise our target of £300 as this really will help us support people in debt. We want everyone in March and Wisbech who find themselves in debt to be able to access our service completely free of charge, now and in the future.”

debt help, money management education, life skills courses and jobs clubs, all through local churches.

CAP is also the UK's largest provider of adult, face-to-face financial education through the CAP Money Course. This takes place through more than 800 affiliated churches who follow CAP’s tailor-made course.

CAP is committed to its services being available to all individuals regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.

Local History

Saved

From Drowning

By Richard Munns on behalf of March & District Museum

O

n the morning of Tuesday, October 9th, 1883, John Coyne, an eighteen-yearold postal parcels courier for the Post Office, was crossing March town bridge when there was a commotion with a number of people running down Well End (Nene Parade). He decided to follow them to see what was happening.

A little earlier, The Griffin Hotel omnibus, driven by the hotel boot boy named Christmas, had collected Mrs Charles Vawser from High Street and then had driven to pick up Mrs Appleyard and her four-year-old daughter from a house in Well End. At this point the road was very narrow with no railings and a steep slope down to the river. While attempting to turn the omnibus, despite assistance from Mrs Appleyard’s father, the horse began to go backwards and the bus careered down the bank, somersaulted into the river and began to sink.

A number of men working nearby managed to reach the vehicle with a ladder and Mrs Appleyard and her daughter were rescued quite quickly.

However, the bus continued to sink in the river and it was at this time that John Coyne arrived on the scene.

Quickly realising that Mrs Vawser was in danger of drowning, he plunged into the river and swam to the omnibus. Barely alive, Mrs Vawser clutched at her rescuer but he broke her hold, dived down and managed to open the door of the vehicle and drag her out. Those on the riverbank then dragged her to the bank and to Mr Munden’s home, where she recovered sufficiently to return to her own home shortly afterwards. The carriage stood in the middle of the river until it and its contents were retrieved by a number of men with stout hawsers.

Unfortunately, the horse was still attached to the carriage and had drowned.

Mr A J Gage, proprietor of The Griffin Hotel, began collecting contributions towards an award in recognition of Coyne’s courageous actions.

42

D I S C O V E R I N G

March

On the evening of Tuesday, November 20th, at the hotel, John Coyne was presented with a valuable engraved silver watch in a mohair protection guard and a manuscript praising his actions. He was also awarded the Royal Humane Society Medal in recognition of his bravery in saving Mrs Vawser’s life.

In 1985, the medal and watch were purchased from a Kettering market stall by Mr Mick Gray of Corby and brought to March where George Brewin, great-grandson of the original supplier, was pleased to see that it was still in working order.

Will anyone join the Jubilee name game?

Parents of a newly born daughter in 1887, in a demonstration of patriotic fervour, christened her Kate Victoria Jubilee Brundell.

Alas, Kate did not reach maturity and died on November 15th, 1893, aged just six years. She lived in Station Road and was buried in Station Road cemetery.

I wonder if anyone these days will christen their new-born Elizabeth Jubilee?

Food & Drink

By Trevor Langle y

BEERS FROM THE TITANIC BREWERY

Why not sink a few?

Multi award-winning Titanic Brewery was established during 1985 in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

T

heir first beer brewed was named Titanic Premium.

This beer is continued today, with the name changed to ANCHOR (4.1% vol) and is very popular with many beer drinkers.

The complete range of beers from the Titanic Brewery are all distinctive, having ‘devotees’ for a good number of the productions. Their ‘Beer of the Month’ has numerous followers and can include selected pale, traditional ruby, plum porter, and others, which are carefully chosen, each month. I found something for all tastes, amongst Titanic’s beers.

PUB IN A BOX is extremely popular. Whilst being a splendid treat to enjoy at home, it is an obvious great gift idea too. The box contains various bottled and canned beers, a Titanic Brewery pint glass, plus snacks and beer

mats. A personalised gift card, with a message of your choice, can be included for a small charge. Different boxes – if a preference is required – can be for a Titanic Dark Ales Box, Titanic Light Ales Box, Mixed Can Cases, and others.

STEERAGE (3.8% vol) Pale Ale has a good floral and hoppy aroma with a dry, refreshing mouthfeel and palate experience. ICEBERG (4.1% vol) is an American Pale Ale that was one of the first UK beers to use US hop varieties, and is citrusy and zesty.

CAPPUCCINO STOUT (4.5% vol) has a good aroma of coffee, which follows through to the flavour admirably. CHOCOLATE & VANILLA STOUT (4.5% vol) has chocolate and vanilla scents, leading enticingly to the smooth, creamy taste. WHITE STAR (4.5% vol) I found to be golden and

March

crisp, with an excellent aroma, evoking thoughts of honey and hops. An excellent fruity, malty ale. RASPBERRY PALE (4.7% vol) has raspberries on the nose, then a light, fresh mouthfeel and palate sensation. PLUM PORTER (4.9% vol) is deep red, with plum flavours in abundance – splendid! CAPTAIN SMITHS (5.2% vol) is traditional, malty, and strong – a firm favourite.

The website has all information, including details about the range of beers, plus pubs, shop, tours, events, loyalty programme and more.

75 th Anniversary

GER to celebrate

The GER Sports and Social Club is celebrating the 75th anniversary of its opening.

T

o mark the occasion there will be a weekend of events on August 12th-14th, including a 1940s dance, family fun day, evening with Shaun Perry, Sunday carvery and grand draw.

The club will also be hosting a ‘March Has Talent’ competition which is open to all and there will be a display showing the club’s history during the weekend including original documentation and personal stories.

The GER was founded in 1947 by a group of railwaymen hence the name, The Great Eastern Railway Sports Club. The land on which it stands was purchased in 1921 and a bowls club was formed in 1922. On the land the railwaymen of March decided to build a clubhouse to create good relations between themselves and March townsfolk.

When the work was finished and the club opened in 1947 it was said to be the best in the country.

It features an underground 14ft square cellar (although not used now). While it was being dug the workmen hit an underground spring and a water pump

D I S C O V E R I N G

had to be fitted which is still used today to keep the water away. Buried in the cellar is a time capsule containing a bottle of Light Ale, a bottle of Brown Ale and coins of the realm.

The club is now a private members’ club which is CIU affiliated, opening seven days a week and stocking a wide range of drinks. The hall is available for members to hire and also hosts several teams including darts, dominoes, crib, pool and outdoor bowls. It is also home to the Cambridgeshire County Darts team.

President Tony Barnes said: “I am honoured to be club president for these 75th celebrations, which I hope everyone enjoys, and I look forward to being a member of this club for many years to come.

“We have a great family club in the GER and we have a committee and secretary that wants only the best for its members now, and the members of the future, and we will always do our best to achieve this and I am sure whoever comes after will do the same.’’

June Movies To Enjoy!

Top Picks

Jurassic World: Dominion roars onto our screens from June 10th. The third instalment completes this exciting trilogy. Taking place four years after Isla Nublar has been destroyed, dinosaurs now live – and hunt – alongside humans all over the world.

This epic film has breathtaking visual effects, and sees Laura Dern, Sam Neill, and Jeff Goldblum reunite for the first time together since the original blockbuster came out in 1993. Can humans remain the Apex predators on a planet they now share with history's most fearsome creatures?

With perfectly-cast stars, spectacular songs, and extravagant style, Baz Luhrmann’s jukebox musical biopic Elvis is a big screen spectacle that’s sure to leave you all shook up from June 24th. Austin Butler steps into the blue suede shoes to become the King in a transformative performance that captures Elvis’s style, famous southern drawl, and iconic singing voice. Tom Hanks co-stars as Elvis’s notoriously controlling manager Colonel Tom Parker as the film follows them across two decades and showcases how success can – and does – come with a price.

Event Cinema

Get your tickets now for the George Michael Freedom Uncut screening on June 22nd. The documentary, narrated and co-directed by Michael, provides a behind-the-scenes look into his private and public persona allowing unprecedented access to his extraordinary life both on and off stage. It also shows interviews with many of his collaborators

including Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Ricky Gervais, Liam Gallagher, Jean-Paul Gaultier, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista. The legendary singer, who died on December 25th, 2016 at the age of just 53, can be heard talking about his legacy. He says: “I want to leave songs; I believe I can leave songs that will mean something to other generations.”

Family Favourite

Before he became the most-wanted toy on Andy’s and every other kid’s wish list, Buzz Lightyear was a real space hero, and this is his story. After being stranded on an alien planet for a whole year, Buzz sets out to search the stars for a way home. But in a galaxy with infinite possibilities, getting home won’t be quite as easy as planned. Chris Evans takes on a new role as the voice of Buzz leading a new team of Space Ranger recruits in what promises to be a bumpy ride. Lightyear launches us on an adventure to infinity and beyond from June 17th.

With so many films to choose from why not sign up to our Infinity membership and watch all the 2D and 3D films you can handle for just £15.99 per month?

Our members also receive 25% off favourite cinema treats, all day, every day (excluding alcohol), discounted Event Cinema tickets, and invites to member-only screenings. To find out more head to our website or ask a team member for details.

A MONTH OF LOCAL LANDMARKS

By Steve Barclay MP

F

amily businesses are a key part of our local economy, and seventy years of trading is worthy of celebration. So, it was a pleasure to join one of our area’s leading agricultural businesses, family-run, Dalton Seeds, and in particular Peter Fox and Mathew Dalton and their team, to mark this landmark.

homeless and, thanks to great work by the Ferry Project, he has rebuilt his life working through their services from volunteering to employment and finally becoming the manager of Jubilee Place. It will make such a difference to those facing hard times to be able to speak to John and get support knowing he understands their issues first-hand.

Another business expanding and attracting new talent is high precision engineering firm PCML, which has a head office in March alongside operations on five Cambridgeshire sites. I heard about how they played a key role during the pandemic in the ventilator challenge and are now well placed to take advantage of the growing funding for NHS diagnostic equipment as we deal with COVID backlogs.

I’m pleased to see the £5 million full fibre network rollout by CityFibre that will allow access to fast, reliable broadband is progressing well in March and is on track for the first homes to go live later this year. Much of the work that involves digging past homes in the south-east of the town is now complete and workers have moved into new areas. CityFibre’s new futureproof network means residents and businesses will be able to access Gigabit-speed broadband from a choice of Internet Service Providers. I’m delighted that planning is also underway to look at Whittlesey later in the year.

Regular readers will know a personal priority of mine is promoting school literacy, including with our annual Read to Succeed campaign. So, it was fantastic to learn that Benwick Primary School was one of just six schools in the country to have received a new children’s book library worth £20,000 and including one thousand new books. I joined the children for an inspiring talk and animation drawing masterclass by Cressida Cowell, author of the book series How to Train Your Dragon, a favourite of my children. It was a real joy to see the fun students are getting from experiencing their new library of books and discovering new authors.

I also recently joined pupils at Wisbech St Mary’s School Environmental Savers Club to help plant trees as part of the Queen’s Jubilee Green Canopy Project. Donated by The Woodland Trust, each tree has a tag with a number on it, so the 208 pupils feel they have ‘their’ own tree, which in the years to come will help them remember this scheme and their specific tree.

One of my highlights this month was joining John Heathorn at the official opening of Jubilee Place, a new project providing six new homes for the homeless. Twelve years ago, John was

I have updated you many times on my campaign against proposals to build an enormous incinerator in Wisbech. Despite the objections of the community, the developer has persisted in progressing its proposals, although it is still at pre-application stage.

However, the developer has previously said he would be submitting his twice-delayed application for development consent to the Planning Inspectorate in Q2 2022. I wanted to reassure residents I will be keeping a close eye on developments. If an application is made, the Planning Inspectorate has up to twentyeight days to decide whether the application meets the standards required to be accepted for examination. As previously stated, I am concerned that the developer has not complied with the required consultation process with a failure to provide key information to the community. I remain convinced this proposal is wholly unsuitable and will continue to fight against it on behalf of constituents.
