Hello Christchurch, Burton, Mudeford & Friars Cliff!

Wow, what a summer of events we have all had. Hasn’t it been great! We here at Dorset Publications and The Christchurch Directory were part of the Drug Free World campaign where we sponsored 1000’s of Truth About Drugs booklets given out in Weymouth during the Olympics and also at the Bournemouth Carnival. You can see some of our photos inside. The Jive Aces, the UK’s Number One swing band, were our fantastic entertainment for the day!

There has also been the famous Bournemouth Air Festival, Great Dorset Steam Fair and the Dorset County Show. Not forgetting last, but by no means least, the completely awe-inspiring Paralympics! I think the summ er has e nde d w ith a real celebration. Did you notice, as there was much less bad news expressed during the Olympics that the whole of Britain came alive. Maybe we can learn from that.

Anyway… Back to school for some now and back to work for the rest of us. Here in The Christchurch Directory there are interesting articles to read and of course our local business and trade’s people all ready to help you. During these interesting times it is really important to support each other. All of the advertisers inside appreciate greatly the work that you give them. Please do mention The Christchurch Directory when making any calls.

I hope you all have a fabulous September.

Best Wishes,

Debbie Sunday, September 02, 2012 23:14 Black Magenta Yellow Cyan

Curving In A New Direction!

Flying away on holiday as members of staff and returning as owners of a company is maybe the stuff of dreams, but that's exactly what happened to Carrie Mussell and Carole Warren this summer following their successful purchase of CURVES Women's gym in Christchurch.

"When we discovered that the owners were looking to sell, it didn't take us long to decide that we might have the attributes to take the club forward." revealed Carole. "Carrie and I are passionate about women's health, and we both have experience of the fitness industry."

Carole has been a swimming teacher in the local area for over 15 years, and Carrie has a degree in Sports Science.

The girls have worked part-time between them in CURVES Christchurch for four out of the six years it has been located at Wilverley Road near Somerford.

Carrie stated "We both have the drive, determination and enthusiasm to continue to look after this wonderful women's club and its members whilst making it our own.

We intend to quickly make several subtle improvements that we're positive our existing and potential

Talking about Wildlife

Talking about wildlife with

Walk for Wildlife On the 23rd September, join us for the Dorset Walk for Wildlife. This year, this annual fundraising event for walkers of all levels and ages returns to Purbeck by popular demand. There are three routes to choose from, ranging from 6 to 22 miles. They will all start from Leeson House, a beautiful manor house situated in the village of Langton Matravers near Swanage.

Each route will lead walkers along the coastline, giving everyone a chance to explore the famous Purbeck area: Dancing Ledge if you choose to walk 6 miles, St Aldhem’s Head if you choose 12 miles and Kimmeridge Bay for those who tackle 22. All walkers will pass through Durlston Country Park with its picturesque views and a castle, so make sure you take a camera! A little further down the road,

walkers will pass Anvil Point Lighthouse, which is built of local stone.

For those with children, there will be exciting and educational activities on your return. The grounds of Leeson House will also be open to explore, making this a fantastic day out for the whole family.

You can register and start fundraising today. Go online and visit the website dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/ walkforwildlife and you can use the links to set up an online charity sponsorship page. Alternatively, you can download a charity fundraising form. If you plan to walk in a group, you can set up a group page - you can even set one up for your canine friends! The money you raise will help us conserve Dorset’s wildlife.

Walkers can also register from 7am on the day at Leeson House.

Keeping the Jive alive!

The Jive Aces, regarded as UK’s No.1 Jive & Swing band, have been together for over 15 years and famously put BGT boss Simon Cowell “in a good mood” and had him singing along with their high-energy performance on this year’s Britain’s Got Talent. The band got into the semi-finals performing show-stopping versions of Jungle Book favourites “I Wanna Be Like You” and “Bare Necessities”, which was praised by their favourite judge Alesha Dixon who said “You are so joyful to watch, every single one of you, especially you on the piano. Great, great song choice, nothing obvious about it. You had fun so we had fun. That was world class!”. The Jive Aces lead singer said: “This was amazing we got this far on BGT, we made it all the way through from over 60 000 contestants down to the last 45 and we did it! We were surprised that a men’s band (as opposite to a boys band) got this far! This is probably the first time ever that a swing band got this fa r , s o w e a r e v er y p r o u d o f o u r achievement!”

The yellow suited sextet feature songs made famous by greats like Louis Prima, Bobby Darin, Big Joe Turner and Sammy Davis Jr as well as some superb originals. An incredibly in demand sextet, they have worked with John Travolta, Van Morrison, The Proclaimers, Keely Smith and have performed for HRH Prince Philip. They also performed for the Queen at the occasion one of her Diamond Jubilee British towns tour in Bromley, where they performed a song they wrote for her “Diamond Jubilee” together with the nation’s loved Swingtime Sweethearts. The lyrics of the song are catchy had the crowd singing and dancing along repeating to HM “Diamond Jubilee, Everyone say Thank you Ma’am, it’s the Diamond Jubilee”.

As well as the mums, Fab Frocks can help brides and bridesmaids.

If you’re looking for a wedding dress but everything is just too fussy, then try our Simply Bridal collection. Getting the wow factor doesn't have to involve a long train or a big netted skirt or even the huge price tag. Our Simply Bridal range starts from just £186. All dresses come in Ivory or White but if you want to add a bit of colour to your special day, then you'll be spoilt for choice from the other 57 colours that many of the styles are available in.

Bridesmaids will also be spoilt for choice with a modern range of maids dresses available in up to 59 colours, a choice of lengths and a choice of fabrics.

If you’re a wedding guest, come and take a look at our range of dawn to dusk dresses, perfect for taking you from the wedding ceremony right through to the party in the evening.

When it comes to the festive season, Fab Frocks of Westbourne has one of the biggest selection of dresses on the south coast. For those daytime events in the run up to Christmas – drinks at friend’s houses or a lunchtime office bash – Fab Frocks has a brilliant selection of dressy daywear. Even better news, a lot of the day dresses and some of the cocktail dresses have sleeves – top on the wish-list for many women.

For black-tie functions, look no further. There is a choice of over 500 designer evening and cocktail dresses to suit all shapes, sizes and budgets.

They are supremely talented, a showbiz phenomenon and the best tonic the NHS could give the population. You'll be rocking and laughing as well as rolling.

The Jive Aces, the UK’s No. One Swing Band who recently got into the semi finals of Britain’s Got Talent were our fantastic entertainment and we won first place for the best dressed float! The Jive Aces are internationally known and regularly play at local venues here in the South. They are amazing! You can see them at www.jiveaces.com.

Find us online at www.thechristchurchdirectory.co.uk taking drugs. Here is what the Drug Free World organisation says about their App which can be downloaded for free…

The best solution to the drug problem is education.

Much of what kids hear on the streets about drugs comes from those selling them. The Foundation for a Drug-Free World provides educators with practical tools to give youth solid facts which enable them to choose to lead drug-free lives all on their own.

No one questions the severity of the drug problem and its devastating impact on youth. Academic results suffer and, even worse, drugs undermine health and destroy young lives.

The best solution is to reach young people with effective, fact-based drug education—before they start experimenting with drugs. Tweens, teens and young adults who know the facts

27

about drugs are much less likely to start using them.

This Truth About Drugs Education application is the ideal supplemental aid.

It fills the growing demand for practical tools to help the teacher, instructor or drug prevention specialist communicate the truth about drugs swiftly and effectively.

The application features full lesson plans, assignments and classroom activities that capture and retain young people's attention—and elicit their participation.

Students willingly read, view and, most importantly, use the information to make the right choices about drugs.

Whether you are a young adult, a teacher or a parent Stephen and I hope you take advantage of using this Drug Free World App if you have an IPhone or IPad or you can go online to www.drugfreeworld.org.

The data is excellent!

Christchurch skaters & bikers show off skills at Skatejam Skateboarders, inline skaters and BMX bikers showed off their skills at the third annual Skatejam organised by Christchurch Council’s Play Rangers and held at the Arena skate park at Two Riversmeet Leisure Complex.

Forty young people took part in skating, biking and skateboarding competitions along with, for the first time this year, scooting. They competed in two age groups for each category to win prizes from sponsors including a skateboard, a scooter, hoodies, t-shirts, kneepads and other equipment.

The Skatejam had been postponed from earlier in the year due to the bad weather

but this time the sun shone from blue skies providing the perfect conditions.

Sonia Mendonca, Senior Play Ranger at Christchurch Council, said: “We mount this event to provide an opportunity for the youngsters at the skate park to showcase their talent – and what talent there is!

“I was really impressed by the fact that there were so many backflips and other tricks performed but nobody was injured.

It was also really good to see the scooting competition for the first time at the SkateJam. With the sun shining, it turned out to be a great day with a fantastic atmosphere.”
