Hello Poole, Dare I say it but we are fast approaching that festive time of year… Indeed we are looking forward to taking our Hayden to see Father Christmas at Paultons Park for his Birthday this year. As he will be 9 I reckon this is my last chance!

Imagine my surprise a few weeks ago when I got a phone call from Father Christmas - it turned out to be a lovely local man who has played the part every season for over 60 years! I am sure I had that same ‘trip of the heart’ when he said who he was. Do we ever really grow up?

As you might be thinking of opening your doors to the family… or perhaps escaping to other parts… perhaps a few things need doing around the house or garden? If you are anything like us, ‘spare’ time seems to be getting less and less. Why not let someone else do the work for you?

You will find The Poole Directory full of local tradespeople who are more than willing to give you a hand to make this year’s special season a great success. From house/shed clearance to create more space in the house, fitted furniture to make the most of what space you do have, domestic cleaners to make things a little neater and tidier and painters to spruce things up a bit. There are also plumbers and electricians to ensure all your facilities are in shape, as well as places to go for young and old alike!

We also have a number of interesting articles this month.

There are finance tips with regard to credit rates on page 26 and some advice on what to look out for when buying funeral plans on page 22. If you are one for enjoying your cooking, there is a recipe on page 12 that sounds scrumptious!

The winner of the tickets to the Sensational 60’s Experience last month was Mrs V Buchan of Stokes Avenue. Well done to you!

Here’s to a good month of November,

Debbie

SAVE MONEY, BUT DON’T GET CAUGHT OUT WHEN YOU BUY FUNERAL SERVICES, URGES AGE UK BOURNEMOUTH With funeral costs on the rise in recent years, many people ask for a basic funeral quote in the hope that it will be the most costeffective option. Peter Kendall, Trading Manager at Age UK B o u r n e m o u t h s a ys , “ Be f o r e purchasing a funeral always ask for a written quote which outlines all the costs. Make sure that you clarify upfront exactly what is included in the price and that it covers all the services you require.

A cheap offer at first sight can turn out rather more expensive if you have to pay extra for additional items.”

“If you wish to protect yourself against future price rises you should consider a funeral plan now. It makes financial sense, as you’re effectively paying for your funeral at today’s prices. This not only means that the financial burden won’t fall on loved ones, but it also ensures that your own personal wishes will be carried out, which can be a great source of comfort for your family at an upsetting time.

PD November 2012 page 22

Age UK’s Funeral Plans enable people to fix the cost of their cremation funeral at today’s prices and remove the worry about rising inflation. They are designed specifically for those in later life and offer flexible plans and payment methods to suit different requirements. The Age UK Funeral Plan guarantees that the funeral costs covered by the plan are met in full and at today’s prices, meaning less worry and financial strain for all involved.”

If you take out an Age UK Funeral Plan before the price rise on 1 December 2012 you will also save up to £235. For further information please call Age UK Bournemouth on 01202 530575 or visit them at 700 Wimborne Road, Winton, Bournemouth BH9 2EG.

PANTO TIME: SLEEPING BEAUTY BOURNEMOUTH PAVILION THEATRE SAT 8 DECEMBER 2012 – SUN 6 JANUARY 2013

This year’s offering is once again brought to you by UK Productions following a record-breaking production of Jack and the Beanstalk last year.

Returning to once again write, direct and star is venue favourite and Bournemouth resident Chris Jarvis as Happy Harry, whose local gags, rapport with the audience and range of impressions always go down a storm with adults and children alike.

We’re also delighted to welcome back o n e o f t he be s t P a n to v i l l a i n s Bournemouth has seen in recent years, Su Pollard – last with us for the 2009 Panto season – as Carabosse.

Also returning from the cast of Jack and the Beanstalk is Wave 105 presenter Kate Weston as Good Fairy.

However, our all-star cast doesn’t end there, as they’re joined by Asa Elliott from ITV’s Benidorm as the Prince and of course, no Panto would be complete without a dame, with Nurse Nelly to be played by Colin Baker of Doctor Who fame.

PD November 2012 page 24

Running from 8 December 2012 to 6 January 2013, with a top cast and a great traditional story, Sleeping Beauty is sure to be another huge Panto hit at the Bournemouth Pavilion.

The Bournemouth Pavilion Pantomime is sponsored by Aruba Restaurant.

Official radio station is Wave 105.
