Dear Christchurch, Bargates, Fairmile, Iford, Burton, Mudeford, Somerford, Stanpit, Friars Cliff & Purewell!

Summer is here and we have actually had some good weather! Hopefully you have been able to get out and about, make the most of our wonderful beaches, had a coffee or two watching the world go by and even gone to a local show. I do love this time of year.

You should now be receiving The Christchurch Directory every other month. There are 8000 individual copies delivered to individual houses and businesses every month but we deliver to one area one month and the other, the next. 16,000 individual magazines in total, so let’s make sure you get your copy!

As a local resident if you have anything new or exciting happening, and would like to promote the good news, please let me know! We are here for you. The advertisers inside are also here for you, so please give them a call when you need their products or services, and do mention The Christchurch Directory!

I am delighted to introduce “Local Celebrity of the Month – Tell me All About It” Liam Openshaw, who I am sure we will be seeing in the Olympics. As a young 13 year old he is quite incredible.

Nellie took us on a family camp with the Scouts last month. How exciting was that. She loved it and so did we as you can read on pages 26 and 27. Next month Nellie is taking us to Exmouth in Devon, where Hayden will take part in the National Surf Life Saving Championships. We will be camping in a nearby campsite and I am looking forward to sitting on the beach with my coffee, ‘watching’ Hayden competing. The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Sheila Kirkham. Well done to you.

Here’s to a wonderful summer!

Very Best Wishes,

Debbie & Stephen Corney

Former Mayor of Christchurch hands out cheques to local organisations The Mayor of Christchurch for 2015-16, Cllr Frederick Neale, has handed out cheques from funds he raised during his Mayoral year to local organisations.

In total he raised £5,440 through a variety of fund-raising events and donations. The organisations to benefit are Age Concern, Christchurch who received £1,500, The Friends of Christchurch Station who also received £1,500 and Christchurch scout groups.

Four scout groups received £615

each – 1st Christchurch Town Scouts, Burton Scouts, Jumpers Scouts and Mudeford Sea Scouts.

Cllr Neale said: “It has been a hard year for charities fundraising so I’m surprised and pleased that I’ve been able to raise so much to go to local Christchurch organisations.

“I’m sure that the amount that each group is receiving will be enough for them to help them to do something significant.”

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing

company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the &KULVWFKXUFK area

DQG Panager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Turning the Tide: Marine Conservation Fund Dorset’s seas are amazing. They are home to a magnificent myriad of marine creatures – sturgeons, angel sharks and crawfish to name a few! However, some of these species are now rarely seen or are gone altogether.

Dorset’s fragile, underwater habitats are declining, with pollution, unsustainable fishing and climate change threatening these delicate ecosystems.

As part of our campaign, we are launching a seahorse adoption scheme, for a one-off payment of £20. Seahorses are an intriguing species who are masters of camouflage, and we want to find out more about them. As part of the Marine Conservation Fund, we’re hoping to be able to invest in equipment to help us monitor seahorses and other marine wildlife.

Dorset Wildlife Trust wants to save these beautiful, misunderstood marine environments before it’s too late… but we can’t do this alone. The Marine Conservation Fund is an exciting and important new initiative which aims to provide the vital funding required to secure a brighter future for our seas, which can then be enjoyed for many future generations.

As a gift to yourself, or someone special, you’ll get a seahorse cuddly toy, regular updates and a fact sheet. The first 10 people to adopt will get a free Seashore Wildlife Guide. Phone Jodi Hibbard on 01305 264620.

Two areas we aim to secure as Marine Protected Areas are Studland Bay and Lyme Bay. Studland bay is home to enigmatic seahorses, colourchanging cuttlefish and rare rays. It is also one of only two nursery grounds in England for the endangered undulate ray.

Lyme Bay meanwhile hosts a multitude of majestic marine giants including white-beaked dolphins, harbour porpoise and basking shark. By protecting these fauna hotspots we will give this marine wildlife the chance to survive and thrive into the future.

Local Celebrity of the Month

Local celebrity of the month...

Tell me all about it!

Liam Openshaw and his brother Ryan who live in Poole are fantastic athletes, swimmers, life savers, and all round sportsmen. Liam recently won the British Schools Modern Biathlon Championships at Crystal Palace in March! He was then chosen for Team GB to represent Britain and went on to win the European round of the Biathle (run-swim-run) World Tour!

I am absolutely sure we will be seeing lots of Liam and his brother in the next few years, and I am delighted that he has written a piece about himself for you to read and enjoy. Here is Liam...

“How would I describe myself at the moment? I am a busy, happy, sporty 13 year old, squeezing in as many training sessions and competitions as I can into the week, and leaving just enough room to do my homework!

I am a member of Poole Swimming Club, Branksome Chine Surf Life Saving Club, Poole Athletics Club and Dorset Pentathletes. I train about ten times a week – more running up to key competitions – mostly in the swimming pool but also strength work in the gym, running on the track, and then my favourite – on the beach and in the sea. In my spare time, I play the drums (I recently passed my Grade 3 with Merit) and I go to Poole Grammar School.

I started Life Saving with Branksome Chine Surf Life Saving Club when I was eight and loved it from the start. I enjoy being out in the fresh air, powering into the sea for a swim and paddling a Race Board through the waves. Six months after joining the Club I was asked if I was going to go to the National Championships in Portreath, Cornwall. It sounded daunting and way above my ability, but I was assured that I would be fine, so signed up and went along. I was faced with waves over ten feet high - so big that I couldn’t paddle out through them on the Race Board, and ended up conceding the race from the wash at the foreshore. But I was hooked. And I have been to every National Championships since, eventually achieving

Liam Openshaw with his brother Ryan my goal and medalling last year – three times. My Club has also started competing at the National Indoor Championships, this year held in April, where I was so pleased to gain a further six medals – two of each colour. But my biggest achievement to date in the sea was winning the South West Open Water Championships, entitling me to swim at the British Open Water Championships in Sheffield, where I came seventh. I’m aiming to qualify this year and finish in the top five!

I had just turned nine when I entered the Poole and East Dorset Schools Swimming Gala, and to my surprise won the backstroke race. Although I had been learning to swim with Swalings School of Swimming since a toddler, I had not joined a competitive Swimming Club. After a trial, I started swimming with Poole SC a few times a week, where I developed my stroke technique. Four years later, I now swim up to eight sessions and cover 40 kilometres a week in the pool, plus a further session of Open Water training in the sea. I train with some of my best friends, and we always manage to find time to have a laugh after the hard work is done in the pool. We support each other, and any competitiveness in the pool during races, is gone when we are back on poolside. I love competing, because when I swim, I am not only trying to race well

15 for myself but also for my team mates and Club. But it’s not all easy! There are days that I race and I am slower than I could be – my brother, Ryan, is two years younger than me, but he is pretty good in the pool – he manages to squeeze out times just seconds behind mine. It’s then that I get determined to work harder and train better, to make sure I can stay ahead of him for as long as possible! I’m determined he won’t beat me in a head to head race – but then I think he is just as determined to try beat me (and it might not be too long before that happens)!

I’ve definitely learned that you have to make the most of every opportunity that is offered to you as you never know what it might lead to. Privileged to be nominated for a Poole Sports Council Award for swimming at the British Open Water Championships, at the ceremony last autumn, my dad noticed that one of the other recipients was a Modern Pentathlete. We did a quick bit of research, thought it looked interesting, and decided to have a go - I entered my first Biathlon at the South West Schools Championships last September – and won it. It has been a rollercoaster since, where I have been offered lots of exciting opportunities to progress in the sports that I love. This took me to Crystal Palace and Birmingham to compete in two British Championship events (so I started running with Poole Athletics Club to improve my technique), where

Liam with his trophy at the British Schools’ Modern Biathlon Championships

I finished first and second. I had become a British Champion!!! But I am very aware, that although I was the one that ran around that track, and swam down the pool, I couldn’t have done it without my family who pay for everything and drive me everywhere, and my coaches who train me to be the best I can be.

Following the Champs, I was invited to join the English Talent Programme for GB Modern Pentathlon, which involves monthly training days where I have started to learn to shoot a laser pistol and to fence. This means that I can now compete in Modern Triathlons and Tetrathlons respectively. I still have a bit of work to do before I can do a full Modern Pentathlon as I will need to learn to ride a horse!!!

BREAKING NEWS!!! At the European Championships in Portugal last month, Liam came fifth in the Triathle and won the bronze medal in the Biathle. His GB Biathle team also won the gold team event. Ryan came 11th in the Triathle and then won the bronze medal in the mixed Triathle relay.

So Liam and Ryan have both qualified for the Triathle World Championships in Sarasota, Florida, in October 2016. They are due to attend the National Biathle at the end of this month which is the qualifier for the World Biathle Championships, also in Florida at the same time.

I’m just a normal 13 year old boy. I like my PS4, Instagram and iPad! But I am so lucky to have the opportunities to compete in sports that I love, with really good friends. Who knows how far I can go... But one thing is for sure – I’m going to keep working hard, trying new things, and most importantly, taking every opportunity that comes my way. I am so happy to be fit and healthy.

I would like to shout out to everyone that supports me, including my mum, dad and brother Ryan, Jan and Barry at Poole SC, Ian, Dave, Hamish and Gus at Branksome Chine SLSC, Paul and Mark at Poole AC, Mick at Dorset Pentathletes, and all my friends that make training and competing fun.”

Liam is looking for support for his sports, as all competitions are self funded. If you know of a business that might be able to help, please contact Sara Openshaw on 01202 389112 or 07815 289625.

You can also follow Liam’s progress via Twitter with @swimmer_liam. We wish him best of luck for the National Biathle!

In need of foot care?

My name is Rita Hallam; I’m a fully qualified Chiropodist wishing to offer my services to the local community having relocated from Buckinghamshire to Burton, Dorset.

Since the move in July 2015 I have continued to commute to my clinic in Knightsbridge London, but now hope to enjoy Dorset life and establish a new patient base.

Career history: Qualifying with the Islington School of Chiropody achieving the Licentiate Diploma, I started my career in April 1977, and in October 1984 I became a member of the Institute of Chiropodists and Podiatrists and still play an active part within this organisation.

During the past 39 years I have worked for the internationally known Dr Scholl initially in Reading for the first year before moving to Dr Scholl Knightsbridge. This lead to a role in the prestigious Harrods where I gave 11 years service before becoming a partner in a private practice clinic also located in Knightsbridge London.

Our professionalism, high standards and friendly approach has brought great success spanning over 21 years. As a thriving business I intend to retain our loyal patient base in London. This is in addition to establishing a patient base locally, Burton, Christchurch and surrounding areas.

My price list will reflect the local area, remaining competitive. Should you wish to enlist my services please do not hesitate to contact me.

Christchurch Letting Agency scoops Gold Award

17

Tenants of private rented property in Dorset have voted a local lettings agency one of the very best in the UK for customer care.

Belvoir Lettings, based at 22a Bargates in Christchurch has been awarded a Gold award in the National Estate and Letting Agent awards (ESTAS).

The ESTAS are unique in the property industry since winning results are based entirely on independent feedback provided by agency customers.

Belvoir Christchurch attracted almost 100 positive reviews from tenant clients, giving it an overall 95.4 satisfaction rating – the highest in the South West region.

Nationally, over 30,000 people completed an in-depth customer satisfaction questionnaire to nominate their favourite agent. It makes the ESTAS, now in its 13th year, the most influential and authoritative awards scheme of its kind.

Belvoir agency owner, Jeremy Clarke, said; “We do not normally enter awards and this is the first time we have won anything of any description.”

“The win is testament to the long hours and hard work that my colleagues Chris, Vanessa and Hayley have put in since we first opened the business in 2004 and we are all extremely grateful to all the tenants who took the time to provide such positive feedback.”

TV property guru, Phil Spencer, who presented this year’s awards, said: “For many customers, finding and moving into a new home can be one of the most stressful experiences of their lives.

“It is the job of agents, such as Jeremy and his team, and other property professionals, to make the journey as smooth as possible, by guiding them through a detailed and sometimes complex process.

“It’s great to see the best in the industry being recognised for their efforts.”

Dorian Gonsalves, Managing Director of Belvoir’s nationwide network of over 160 franchised offices, said: “I am incredibly proud of the achievements of Jeremy and his team in Christchurch.

There is no greater accolade than to be acknowledged by customers for providing really great service and I congratulate them on their success.”

Belvoir Christchurch property manager, Chris Buse, holds the gold ESTAS award, alongside accounts Call in and see Jeremy, or email him at clerk, Hayley Constantine and owner, Jeremy Clarke jeremy.clarke@belvoirlettings.com.

Council looking into constructing fence around the improved play area at Christchurch Quay Following concerns about dog fouling at the new play area at Christchurch Quay, and for greater security for young children playing there, Christchurch Council are looking into constructing a fence around it.

Although a play area has been on the Quomps at Christchurch Quay for many years without fencing, the new improved play area has attracted many positive comments from people and suggestions that a fence could be installed to make the offer even better.

There have also been reports that people have not picked up after their dogs which has meant that children have been put in danger of playing in the mess.

Cllr Bernie Davis, Portfolio Holder for Community at Christchurch Council,

said: “As the site is in a flood plain we have needed to obtain permission from The Environment Agency for a fence, which must be of a particular type to allow water to flow through.

“We are now looking to get a fence similar to the one at the nearby splash park and are waiting for prices and designs from contractors. In order to construct the fence we would need to close the play area for a week and we of course would not want to do that over the summer. We will therefore be looking to install the fence in the autumn at the earliest.

“It is appalling that dog owners are not picking up after their dogs, particularly as there are dog bins at the Quay. We are looking to step up our dog warden patrols in the area to see if we can catch the perpetrators who will be fined.”

..providing the answers

to your legal questions

Every month the solicitors and lawyers at Harold G Walker will be providing answers to your questions about the law.

I am selling my property and the Buyer’s Solicitor has asked for a FENSA Certificate. What is a FENSA Certificate and am I required to produce this?

FENSA stands for the Fenestration Self-Assessment scheme and ensures all installers and buyers of replacement windows and doors comply with improved energy efficiency requirements.

All window and door installations are subject to approval by the Local Authority Building control Department prior to undertaking an installation, unless arrangements have been made for self-certification by the installer by registering with a Competent Persons Scheme such as FENSA. Where windows or doors are completely replaced as opposed to repaired, in existing dwellings, they must comply with the new Building Control requirements.

FENSA registration does not apply to conservatories, porches, commercial premises or new build properties or extensions. In these instances you are I would like to try mediation but I find it hard to speak to my partner and I think they might try and bully me. Is mediation really appropriate?

It is important in mediation that you are safe and do not feel threatened. If there are significant imbalances between people, mediation may not be the right option. However an imbalance does not of itself mean that mediation is not an option, our team of experienced mediators are trained to be able to deal with these situations. A series of techniques can be used to equalise the position and if the mediator believes that the dynamic is unworkable, they can stop the mediation.

There is also a possibility of Shuttle Mediation which allows people to sit in different rooms and the mediator shuttles between them. In shuttle mediation you do not need to see

the other person at all, ensuring you feel safe and your views can be communicated.

required to go through the Local Authority Building Control process to obtain a Building Approval Certificate.

If you live in a flat then planning permission may be required before replacing your windows and therefore it is advisable to check with your Local Planning Authority and your Landlord before commencing any work. If planning permission is required a FENSA registered company can register the installation for certification purposes.

If you live in a property which is classified as a Listed Building and you wish to replace windows or doors this would fall under the jurisdiction of the relevant Local Planning Authority and in this case cannot be registered with FENSA. For more information about FENSA registration please contact a member of our Conveyancing team.

Mediation aims to promote open communication and can be particularly effective in matters involving family disputes and family law. Often in cases when there are family disputes, communication breaks down and trust is lost. When traditional litigation and lawyers are added to this mix a downward spiral can occur. Mediation can therefore be a welcome alternative to resolve matters of finance or children.

The role of a mediator can help parties communicate and compromise to reach a solution they can both accept.

For further information about our Mediation services tax please contact a member of our Family Law team.

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie

The Dorset Publications Camper Van Family Camp with the Scouts, Cubs and Beavers! Well this was one Nellie didn’t want to miss. After all, despite her advanced years, Nellie loves running around, making a lot of noise at times (remember that exhaust…) and she loves the outdoors, so what better way to spend a weekend than with friends, learning lots of new skills and having fun. Nellie couldn’t wait.

Stephen got everything ready. He is good at that you know… it is a man’s job isn’t it? Nellie was packed with chairs, sleeping bags, blankets, Kombi, the awning, cutlery, plates (we didn’t take the kitchen sink, as Nellie already has one) and of course that all important whistling kettle and coffee. Off we set into the rolling English countryside to Sixpenny Handley which is home of 1st Woodcutts Scouts.

First things first, we had to set the awning up… so I made the coffee and supervised… You can see I have a very hands-on approach to all of this.

In fact, one of the ladies commented

The leaders do an amazing job

All set! Kombi and Nellie ready for camp

on how important my role was. I think that is what she said… The boys, alias Stephen and Hayden, did a fantastic job. We were all set up!

The leaders. Well I take my hat off to them. They do such a great job and it is all voluntary, done in their own time, to help others. There are many, many good people on this planet. There was in fact coffee and tea permanently ready and all the food was supplied so we had nothing to worry about but relax and enjoy ourselves.

The first evening was very straight forward… no challenges yet. The next day was a different story. I have to say I have never been a scout or a girl guide, so this was all new to me.

Hayden has been a member for a few years now and loves it. The skills they learn, you don’t get from anywhere else these days, so I am always impressed with what he does. However, what I didn’t realise is that on family camp… you all take part! This was new to me and Nellie really didn’t know if she

would manage. Being blindfolded, led by a young leader in the forest and detecting what was hanging from a rope, was definitely a new concept. I thought the foil was a pine cone, but that’s a mistake anyone could make, isn’t it? Then there were the knot challenges, making a tent from string, building a large catapult, drawing on a neckerchief and putting Lego together to show something from the camp.

The best part was making “smores”.

Have you ever done that? Yummmm… delicious. You melt a marshmallow on a stick over the open camp fire and then place it between two chocolate biscuits, so the chocolate melts and smothers it. How good is that! The name comes from the fact… you want s’ more! That was a challenge I could do again and again. It didn’t help the diet, but I had to do it as I didn’t want to be seen to be not taking part. You can understand that can’t you? Nellie would have eaten them all, but she wants to keep her slightly figure. I refrained from commenting.

The men did get very competitive on the catapult challenge. All that man power, wanting to catapult the furthest. It was great fun and although

Singing around the campfire

We want s’more!

we were the best (after the first go…) we were sadly beaten.

In the evening there was the traditional camp fire led by a young leader in full song. Love it! Then we all took part in horse racing. This was inside the camp hall on a projector screen attached to a computer. How exciting!

We all chose tickets hoping it was the winning horse and shouted like we could have won millions.

Getting together, having time for our own children, as well as meeting other families is just so good. With our busy lives these days we don’t do enough of it. The whole weekend was fantastic.

Nellie left in great spirits and would highly recommend scouting. Beavers start as young as six, then its Cubs form age 8 and Scouts from 10½. If you are an adult and want to help, meet others and learn new skills, why not go and be a leader, or helper. I am sure you would be welcomed with open arms.

Nellie is loving the summer and we hope you are too!

Where will she take us next…?

Gardening Tips

34 34

On Your Plot Hoarding

It’s hard to remain excited when you’ve had courgett.e.at.every.meal.for.a.week,.and. marvellous.though.raspberries.are.there.is.a. limit.to.just.how.many.you.can.eat.at.once...Take. a.bit.of.ti.me.to.store.your.harvest.and.you.can.be. enjoying.home.grown.right.through.the.winter.

Jobs for August :-

• Water regularly - try to water either in the evening or early mornings.

• If you are growing main crop potatoes, watch out for signs of blight. Brown patches on the tops and edges of leaves are usually a first sign.

• Pinch out the tops of runner bean stems that are outgrowing their supports.

• Keep harvesting those courgettes!

• Sow turnips and oriental salad plants such as Pak Choi and Chinese Cabbage • Strawberry runners that were potted up in June to produce new plants can be planted out now.

If all has gone to plan (that’s a big if!) then August should be a very satisfying month on your plot, with your hard work being repaid by ample harvests of a good range of fruit and veg.

The reality tends to be that the excitement of seeing your crops grow and ripen is initially followed by much enjoyment of the first fruits of your labour which can soon be replaced by a panic stricken ‘What the heck do I do with all these’! Certain crops (courgettes and tomatoes spring to mind) can almost guarantee this sequence of events!

Sharing with friends and neighbours is great but very often they will have a glut of exactly the same thing at just the same time. What is called for are some simple ideas for storing and preserving your produce. It may be a long time before you are harvesting fresh peas or raspberries again but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be enjoying your home grown produce throughout the winter - it just takes a little planning and now is the time to do it.

Onions (and garlic) that have been lifted and

left to dry can be plaited and hung in a cool, dry place. Net bags, or tights, also work if you don’t fancy plaiting. Potatoes can be stored in boxes or paper sacks in a dark, dry building but you should check them regularly, removing any that show signs of rotting.

A good size freezer is a real boon for making the most of your produce. Blanching and then freezing works for loads of vegetables. Key to success is to cool quickly after blanching so have a bowl of cold water at the ready and don’t forget to label what you are freezing!

Another option, and one that can work well for all those tomatoes, is to find a good recipe that you can cook, freeze and use later (how about a wonderful pasta sauce with your own tomatoes and home grown basil?). Even ‘difficult to freeze’ veg such as courgettes can either be incorporated into a sauce, or blanched, frozen and then added to a stew at a later date.

Cooking and freezing can work well for fruit too - apple or rhubarb are good stewed and frozen all ready for use in a crumble or pie. If you have a truly wonderful fruit crop then why not arm yourself with a good recipe book and get started on some jam making? It’ll be delicious on your toast in the morning, and what better gift than a pot of homemade raspberry jam?

It’s amazing how many books there are that tell you how to grow your fruit and veg, but how little information there is on just how to store it all! One wonderful little book, that deals with just this question is ‘How to store your garden produce’ by Piers Warren. It’s packed with information about how to store just about anything and a great addition to any gardeners library.

Happy harvesting!

Tastes so good...

Food & Drink

MINI PIZZAS

With these Mini Pizzas you really have the chance to make them your own. Cover them with tomato and cheese and then pick from any number of topping choices: Pineapple and ham, pepperoni or even chicken and sweetcorn. Alternatively create your own unique toppings.

Ingredients 450g strong white bread flour 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 7g sachet fast-action yeast 350ml warm water 2 tsp. salt

Equipment: Large bowl Oven: 240C, Gas Mark 9, 220C Method: In a large bowl, mix together the yeast, flour and 2 teaspoons of salt. Once this is all mixed together, create a well in the middle. In a separate jug, mix together the oil and the water and then pour into the bowl. Then, work the liquid into the flour mix to create the dough. Leave the bowl to one side for 15 minutes. Create a well-floured surface and put flour on your hands then begin to knead the dough. Do this for about 2 minutes until it is soft and even. Put the dough back in the bowl and cover it with oiled cling film. Leave it once again to one side (preferably in a warm place). When the dough has risen to double its size, heat the oven and place a baking sheet on a high shelf. Then dust another sheet with flour before splitting the dough into 8. Roll 3 balls thinly into circles and put them on the floured sheet. Use a thin layer of sauce on top with some seasoning and cheese of your choice. Bake for 12 minutes until golden then add fresh toppings of your choice and use the rest of the dough to create more!
