Dear Southbourne, Tuckton & Hengistbury Head! We certainly have had a rather wet summer which is a shame. We always hope for sun and are well known across the globe for our conversations about the weather. It is so changeable after all! Nellie, The Dorset Directories travelling van, made the most of it for us and with our good old British attitude we did have plenty of fun. We hope you did too. For those of us with children and grandchildren it is ‘back to school’ for yet another year. Hayden has moved up to Upper School which is very exciting. We managed in all our activities over the summer to redecorate his bedroom and put in a new bed with a nice homework desk underneath, so no excuses now! Let’s see if that works. I am sure it will. Dare I say the nights will be pulling in soon and we will be wrapping up warmer and maybe even putting the fire and heating on. Now is the time to make sure all is in good working order, so do make those allimportant calls to the experts who can check it out for you. There are many trades people who could help inside so please do use them. They love to hear from you and it makes all our hard work worthwhile. The lucky winner of a meal for two at The Overcliff Pub was Mrs S Kemish. Well done to you! Do fill in this month’s wordsearch as you could be the lucky winner this coming month. Oh yes, Nellie has written a fun puzzle book with stories of some of her exploits. If you would like a copy please give her a call. The details are inside. Happy September! Best Wishes,
Debbie & Stephen Corney

First World War Memorial at All Saints Church, Southbourne
William George McKenna
William George McKenna was married to Cordelia McKenna, and they lived at 2 Cromwell Place, Seabourne Road, Pokesdown. In September 1914 Just over a month after the Great War began William McKenna enlisted in the 11th (Service) Battalion Hampshire’s. The 11th Hampshire’s was a Pioneer Battalion. The Pioneers were foot soldiers who marched in advance of an army or regiment, having spades and pickaxes to dig trenches and prepare the way for the main body. In 1914 when war broke out there were no pioneer formations in the British Army so when The British Expeditionary Force (BEF) left for France they were obliged to use French civilian labour provided by the French Government to unload their ships. It quickly became apparent that this workforce was inadequate and 300 labourers were sent from England. By Christmas 5 Army Service Corps each comprising 6 officers and 500 men had been established and sent to France to support the BEF on the Western Front. Much of the work of the Pioneers was designated as a ‘Fatigue’ routine. Although trained in rudimentary fighting skills the pioneers also had to dig trenches, install barbed wire entanglements, move supplies and munitions as well as other physical duties that arose. ‘Fatigues’ took precedence over the pioneers need to rest or undergo training so led to exhaustion and low morale in the corps. By 1916 the need for further pioneer and labour corps to support and feed the great armies in France and the Middle East meant that men previously designated as unfit to fight were drafted as pioneers and sent overseas. Women in Britain increasingly took on men’s roles on the land and in munitions factories to allow the men to serve on the front as pioneers
and labour corps. Especially favoured were men experienced in construction trades and labourers. Royal Engineers Labour Battalions were assigned to railway construction and transportation. William George was one of the earliest pioneers and enlisted in the 11th (Service) Hampshire’s Battalion raised in Winchester and moved to Dublin where they were attached, as Army Troops, to the 16th (Irish) Division becoming pioneers to the Division in December 1914. The Division landed in France on December 18th 1915 and spent the duration of the war on the Western Front at the Somme and Ypres where they suffered terrible losses. They suffered a baptism of fire in April 1916 at Hulloch, where the Germans unleashed one of the most concentrated gas attacks of the war. Although the enemy were beaten back by the Irish, the Division lost 570 officers and men killed and 1410 casualties of which 1260 were the victims of gas. September 1916 found the Division fighting on the Somme where they had great success by capturing both the villages of Guillemont and Ginch, although again suffering massive casualties. The 16th Irish Division’s fighting prowess was duly noted and it was selected to participate in the assault on Messines Ridge in June 1917 alongside their fellow Irishmen – the 36th ‘Ulster’ Division. In July 1917 as preparations were made for the Third Battle of Ypres the division were exhausted after 13 days of moving heavy equipment during heavy shellfire. Despite this Lieutenant General Gough ordered the Battalion to advance through deep mud towards well fortified German positions, which preparatory artillery fire had failed to weaken. The 16th Irish Division was decimated. William McKenna died on 31st July 1917 on the first day of the Battle of Passchendaele. Researched and written by Alice Miller

Jon Egging memorial moved to new location The Jon Egging Trust (JET), was set up in memory of Red Arrows pilot Jon Egging, Red 4, who tragically lost his life on 20th August 2011 whilst completing a display at the Bournemouth Air Festival. The charity realises his dream of helping young people overcome adversity, identify their strengths and work towards their ambitions. The Trust delivers two key youth engagement programmes, Blue Skies and Inspirational Outreach, in conjunction with their partners. It operates in 15 counties, across 6 JET regions. Blue Skies concentrates on raising confidence and aspirations in young people who face significant barriers to reaching their full potential. 228 young people graduated on Blue Skies programmes in the last academic year across the country. Inspirational Outreach was launched in 2014 to reach more young people by offering bespoke support packages to schools based on their needs. Sessions include talks, assemblies, lessons and visits that connect young people to inspirational mentors such as the Red Arrows, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, injured service personnel and veterans, as well as individuals connected to aviation, engineering and science. Around 10,000 young people have participated in sessions since the launch. In the South West Blue Skies is run in conjunction with personnel from QinetiQ, MOD Boscombe Down, The Empire Test Pilots’ School, Southampton University Air Squadron, Defence Infrastructure Organisation, Wessex Archaeology, Farrow and Ball, The National Trust, Winchester University, the Tank Museum and Cobham Aviation Services. Dr Emma Egging, CEO of JET and Jon
Egging’s widow said: “The Memorial Sculpture has become such a recognisable gateway to the beach from the East Cliff, and a positive emblem representing who Jon was and I am so glad this can continue in its new home. Jon was passionate about unlocking young people’s full potential, and the charity created in his name gives young people the skills and confidence they need to be the best they can be. Inspiration is at the heart of everything the Jon Egging Trust does, and Jon was a hugely inspirational person who helped others to understand that if you reached high enough there were always blue skies. I was adamant that everything that Jon stood for should continue, and so with the help of our partners and 500 inspirational volunteers, the Jon Egging Trust provides support and mentorship to young people facing challenges in their lives. I’m immensely proud, and know Jon would be too, of the fact that in 2012 we started by helping 8 young people in Lincolnshire, and since then we have supported 10000, and expanded into 15 counties. To do this we rely mainly on donations, and we are so grateful for the tremendous support that we have received from the people of Bournemouth in the past 6 years.”

For the Joy of Giving Through Music At the moment Wessex Chorus community choir are riding high from their sell out concert which was held at the Barrington Theatre, Ferndown, on Friday 4th August, and raised £1300 for the Bournemouth Blind Society. Brief history The choir started 9 years ago. It was founded by the wonderful choir director Martin Arthur. Martin formed a choir (way before Gareth Malone) in order to raise valuable funds for the local Alzheimer’s society, ‘a sort of giving back’ after witnessing the care the Alzheimer’s group gave to his mother. He supported this charity for a 2 year period. TV appearance with John Barrowman Mike, Martin’s partner, applied for a place on Barrowman’s BBC show, ‘Tonight’s the Night’ which was televised in Glasgow for national TV. Martin became part of the show, with the choir – then around 15-strong – making a surprise entry to join him on stage to huge applause and success. This raised the choir’s popularity and its membership has steadily grown to around fifty, now.
promote their profile as a charity fundraising choir. Invited guests include representatives from local businesses, Bournemouth Rotary group, and the Bournemouth and Southbourne Lions club as well as Generous Traders and Sponsors who have supported the choir in the past. Charities supported include: • Bournemouth Alzheimer society (as then was) • Children’s Wish • Youth Cancer Trust (now nationally known) • Help & Care • Bournemouth Blind Society And Finally... In August 2018, Wessex Chorus will be hosting a 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner. The objective for this event will be to acknowledge the sterling fundraising work Martin Arthur has done through the choir and project this work towards the future. Donated funds will be divided between the above five charities. www.wessexchorus.org.uk

Talking about Wildlife...
Wildlife in Autumn Whilst most of us might be dreading the thought of the seasons changing, autumn can offer up some exciting wildlife spectacles and activity for us to observe and learn about. As the days start to get shorter, wildlife in our woods and gardens gets busy. Autumn is a time of bustling activity; preparation of food reserves and nestling for winter, and, for some, for hibernation. Many a nature lover’s favourite, the dormouse, generally hibernates from October to April, in a hidden nest on the ground. Whilst this tiny creature gains weight from 25 to 40 grams in preparation for its long period of inactivity, this is an extremely vulnerable time for the species and not all survive it. For bird watchers, autumn is a wondrous time: due to its temperate climate, Britain is an internationally important destination for many migrant birds. As summer favourites such as swallows, nightingales and house martins depart, fieldfares, geese and waders, along with many others, arrive in their huge flocks on our shores, creating fantastic aerial spectacles. Brownsea Island at Poole Harbour is ideal for bird watching, and has an added

bonus of a population of red squirrels which can be spotted busily scurrying around the island, storing away their winter nuts and seeds. Don’t forget to check the woodland floor, too, for colourful autumn fungi. Looking after your garden with wildlife in mind at this time of year is crucial, and the good news is, too much tidying up is not a good thing! Hedgehogs, toads and minibeasts all need safe winter quarters; a pile of wood, leaves and sticks in a secluded corner of your garden equals a five star hotel for many wintering species. Be mindful to check November bonfires before lighting, though, for hibernating hedgehogs. Finally, it is not only fauna that can be enjoyed in the autumn; flora will be in bloom as well - join our wild friends and enjoy the many fruits of hedgerow harvest from blackberries to crab apples. Dorset Wildlife Trust’s busiest time of year for practical conservation work starts in the Autumn and Winter. If you’re interested in getting involved with volunteering, phone Susanna on 01202 692033 to find out what’s happening near you in Dorset. By Niina Silvennoinen

The start and finish is at Longthorns Campsite (next to Monkey World) where there is plenty of parking, and onsite catering plus free massages for riders afterwards. The event has so far raised in excess of £150,000 for Cancer Research UK and other charities. Although raising sponsorship is not compulsory we hope riders will raise funds for cancer and there are rewards and prizes for those that do, including free cycle jerseys and T-Shirts, plus 6 months membership to the Springfield Leisure club in Wareham.
Flapjacks, Corbens Estate Agent, Dorset Golf and Country Club, Monkey World, Harvest Fine Foods, White House-guardianships, Comax, Dorset tea and local supermarkets. The event is being organised though the Rotary Club of Westbourne with help from other local Rotary clubs. To enter go to www.dorset-bike-ride. co.uk or search for Rotary Dorset Bike ride. Entry fee in advance is £20 for 70-102 mile routes and £15 for shorter routes, children FREE for the 10-38 routes otherwise half price for longer routes, plus children get a FREE ticket to Monkey World if they pledge to raise at least £50 in sponsorship.

FREE PSA TESTING at St. Catherine’s Hill Community Hall
CHRISTCHURCH BH23 2RR Saturday, September 23rd. 9.00 a.m. - 12.00 A giant leap for Dorset men has been happening during the last 3 years! PCaSO (Prostate Cancer Support Organisation) in conjunction with the Lions Club of Christchurch believe in supporting a man’s right to choose whether or not to take advantage of a free PSA testing programme. Lions, Rotary, Masons, Sports centres and other enlightened charities are now claiming the moral high ground as the NHS and the UK National Screening Committee have advised against introducing a screening programme. We are not bound by official red tape that puts non-symptomatic men at an unnecessary risk of remaining undiagnosed. All tests are conducted by qualified phlebotomists, analysis is carried out at the Dorset County Hospital and results are sent out by our urologist. Over 47,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer annually. The disgrace is that over 20% of these have advanced tumours which, with earlier diagnosis, could have been more successfully treated (Cancer Research UK). To date, almost 4,000 Dorset men have been tested. Why not join them?

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Directories Camper Van Well Nellie has been really busy this summer. We did think we might have to fit sails to her as there was so much rain but us Brits have a resilience with the attitude of “the show must go on no matter what”. We did just that. Do you remember those holidays long ago hearing the raindrops on the caravan roof, playing cards with Mum and Dad as it was too wet to go out? We had intended for quite some time to take Dad to Norden Farm near Corfe Castle to fish the carp lake I was so excited about some time ago. Thursday Mum and Dad arrived from Hull all raring to go. Friday morning, the set-off day… and the heavens opened! Stephen and I decided, no way, we will never camp in this. Dad however had a different idea. (I think Nellie had had a word with him…) “Let’s get the stuff in the van Deb and see what it’s like when we get there.” He said determinedly. Stephen and I looked at each other. Were we mad? Poor Mum looked confused.
Grandad really means business!
Grandma catches the rare rays by Kombi So, Nellie who is an all-weather girl, grinned like a Cheshire cat as her engine sparked into life and she sprung into step. We were off. When we arrived, the rain had stopped. In fact, it didn’t rain the whole time we put up Kombi Ex, the awning. Result. Dad was smiling. He was also itching to see the pond (fishermen are like that you know, you can’t hold them back), so off we went to see what the water was like. Now, having had rain like that, the pond was very murky, chocolate brown and that doesn’t help the catching of big carp. Oh dear. Dad was still not to be disheartened and out came to rod...and everything else! Not a bite. We did see a few carp floating very slowly on top of the water but I think they were gasping for air actually, through the muddy liquid, and they were not at all interested in eating. As soon as the bait got anywhere near them, they casually swam away. They knew what game we were playing, and they were totally nonchalant about it. Time for us to eat instead then. Nellie took us into Corfe Castle where we had a great pub meal and then, as I did say

29 we are mad, a walk around the outside of the castle in the pouring rain which had started again. There was something really satisfying about that, as if we were defiantly disagreeing with the weather, with sheer determination to enjoy ourselves despite it. That is so British… and I love it! Nellie is Japanese, but has lived here a long time now and has totally adopted this crazy firmness of purpose. Hayden even got creative with his camera on his phone, focusing in on near objects with the castle in the background. With the mist around the castle, it was all very mysterious and peaceful. It is amazing what fun you can have if you ‘go with the flow’ and look at what can be done as opposed to concentrating on the problems, or stops. Nellie is a big believer in that. The next morning was glorious… until 11am. Nellie’s whistling kettle came out, the bacon sandwiches were delicious (if I say so myself) and we sat in wonderful sunshine hearing the birds singing and a few children playing nearby. Nellie was in her element and was fully satisfied with herself, as without her we would never have been there. Dad tried again with the fish, but got the same response. Complete rebuff. Very disappointing for him, but he is a long-term fisherman, now in his 83rd year having started fishing at a very early
Hayden’s artistic castle shot
It’s never too wet for ice cream! age, and has seen it all with regards to fresh water fishing. He is quite a pro, still fishing in matches up North where they live and regularly catches 30-70lb of fish. Just not on this occasion unfortunately. Later we met my sister and her hubby and we went into Swanage to have good old fish and chips. It rained again but umbrellas and coats have their purpose too. Games back at the campsite were hilarious. We played snakes and ladders! With today’s technology it is easy to forget the simple things and boy did we laugh. Nellie tooted her horn and it all got quite competitive. The last day we went for a drive. In fact we did a rather large circle, going into Wareham to have lunch by the river, then to Poole, across the ferry over to Studland (Dad was hoping we would go to the nudist beach, but Mum did hold him back this time) and had dinner at the very popular Scott Arms in Kingston. Another wonderful day. So, I suppose the moral of the story from Nellie is look at what can be done and keep that British determined attitude to have fun, no matter the weather! Where will she take us next? By Debbie Corney

Annual Honey Show – Save the Bees! Beekeeping is becoming an ever-more popular past time in the UK at the moment – but you really do need the help and support of your local British Beekeeping Association.
The Bournemouth & Dorset South Beekeepers’ Association has existed since 2008 and its members form a group of friendly people who have an interest in bees. The aim of the Association is to promote beekeeping, encourage new beekeepers and raise the awareness of the importance of bees in the natural world. The Association provides: • A body of expertise in beekeeping • A forum for discussion • Weekly summer meetings at the Association Apiary • Winter meetings for talks and lectures • An Apiary for demonstrations and education • An annual Honey Show • An extensive library • Arrangemeents for insurance • BBKA beekeeping classes • Talks to other groups (scouts, schools and other associations and societies) • A supply of honey for sale Even if you’re not thinking of keeping bees yourself, you have probably read about the plight of the honeybee in the modern world, as it is threatened by new pests and loss of habitat. The annual Honey Show is a great opportunity to meet your local beekeeping community, learn about the amazing world of bees, come and find out more about the
wonderful things they produce, benefit from the health properties of natural honey and, of course, support honeybees in their work pollinating our food. And maybe, even buy some delicious, local honey! The Bournemouth and Dorset South Beekeepers’ Association

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Herb Gardens
Nature tends to dictate what we do in the garden and sometimes it’s just too late to plant those seeds, too early to prune that bush and incredibly you are already on top of the weeding. So what can you do to fulfil that urge to work the land? Why start a herb garden of course!
Jobs for September :-
• If you are growing pumpkins for Halloween, you need to support the fruit as it swells and raise it up to keep it off the wet ground and deter slugs. Restrict each plant to no more than three fruits. • Clear up finished crops, clean and store any supports or netting for future use. • Keep planting winter lettuces for a supply of fresh leaves right through autumn. • Fancy fresh strawberries next year? Now is a good time to get new plants established. • Add support to Brussels sprouts by drawing up earth around the stems, or using canes. Most activity on your plot is tied to the seasons, but this month we take a look at one project that can be started off at almost any time of the year - your own herb garden. As we’ve taken to growing more and more of our own food so we have found ourselves getting increasingly interested in trying out new recipes to make the most of all those lovely fresh flavours. Recipe books abound in our kitchen and they all have one thing in common - the use of herbs, and what a variety of them there is! Whether you’re looking for a sprig of fresh mint, a handful of rosemary, or some chopped chives what could be better than being able to choose and harvest them right outside your own back door? Choosing the right site for your herb garden is important, and outside your back door is often a good place to start! Planting near the kitchen makes it easy to pop out for a few fresh leaves when you are cooking, and many of us have a patio which can easily become home to a variety of container grown herbs. Herbs can make an
attractive, fragrant and tasty addition to your borders, or you may prefer to opt for a permanent herb bed. If this is the case you will need to give some consideration to containing the growth of some of the more vigorous varieties. This can be done by dividing the bed (a cartwheel design made with bricks is very attractive), or by using pots sunk into the ground. Herbs comprise of both annual plants, that germinate, grow, flower and die within the year, and perennials that will grow on from one year to the next. Whatever you plant, you will need to find out which type it is and the conditions that it favours. The more hardy perennial types such as thyme, rosemary or mint may be happy outside all year round. One of the advantages of using containers is that tender varieties can be moved under cover during the worst of the winter and even tender annuals like basil can have their season extended by lifting plants to pot up and keep on the kitchen windowsill as autumn approaches. Most types of herb can be raised from seed, but for a quicker start browse the farmers market, garden centre, or even car boot sales for plants that are ready to go. One of the great things about a herb garden is that it can be continually evolving. Look upon it as just the start of a collection, that will grow with time. Adding a new variety can be as simple as picking up a plant that takes your fancy on a trip out and adding a new pot to your collection. As well as using herbs fresh from the garden, you can dry leaves by hanging in bunches and then storing in an airtight container, or use ice cube trays to freeze chopped up leaves with a drop of water. Store the cubes in polythene bags, great for adding to a stew in the middle of winter!

Making sites more accessible across Dorset and the South West The South West is full of wonderful heritage places to explore, from caves to historic houses and sweeping landscapes. According to the Papworth Trust, disabled adults in the North and South West report the highest number of life areas (education and leisure) where participation is restricted. Despite the efforts of museums, galleries and other leisure attractions, feedback from disabled and Deaf people suggests there is more that can be done to make these places more accessible. The Heritage Ability project, delivered by charity Living Options Devon and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund has a clear vision - to break down barriers at these heritage places, unlocking the South West for everybody to enjoy. Over the next three years, the Heritage Ability team will support a variety of unique places across the South West to help them improve the experience for disabled and Deaf visitors. From the West tip of Cornwall all the way to Gloucestershire, the team will work with over 19 sites to deliver accessible interpretation, from BSL (British Sign Language) clips, to visual stories and easy read documents. Many sites will also benefit from an all-terrain scooter or ‘Tramper’, which will enable people with limited mobility to access the countryside like never before.
Four heritage places are taking part in Dorset. These are Moors Valley Country Park, Lulworth Cove, Durlston Country Park and RSPB Arne. As part of the project, Heritage Ability are looking for disabled and Deaf volunteers with a passion for heritage to help spread the word, become advocates for the project and help their sites on their ongoing journey. They also need your help to conduct some mystery visits at the sites and provide feedback which the team can use to help the sites improve. If you’d like to be involved, take a look at the website at www.heritageability.org. You can email the team at heritageability@ livingoptions.org or call 01392 459222. You can also send a SMS to 07958 517919.

Auto Biographies Motoring
VW Passat GTE By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk
The GTE badge was first ushered in with the VW Golf and it eventually made its way to the more conservative Passat. Bolting a plug-in petrol-electric propulsion unit to a model that is best known for its diesel pulling power was perhaps a brave move for Volkswagen. But it seems to have paid off with the Passat. Like the Golf, the VW Passat GTE’s looks are characterised by C-shaped LED lights accommodated in its bumper, and the blue bar that stretches across the headlights and grille. It’s a restrained fine-tuning of the Passat’s tailoring, although, given the intense hue of blue, the use of which even expands to the car’s brake callipers, the GTE model is simple enough to distinguish from diesel Passats. The battery capacity and output have been given a bit of a boost, but the petrol-electric set-up is fundamentally the same as in the VW Golf GTE’s. The 156PS 1.4 TSI petrol unit and 115PS electric motor combine to make 218PS, giving a 0-62mph sprint of 7.4 seconds. Top speed is 140mph, but unless you’re on a German autobahn, you’re unlikely to risk finding out what that feels like. Step into the cabin and the Passat GTE houses a few understated touches, such as blue piping, blue stitching, aluminium trim and GTE emblems. Other than that, the switchgear and seats are the same as in any other Passat. And, as with all Passat saloons, space is generous. Even with the car’s lithium ion drive battery beneath the rear seats, the VW has good room and a boot that is big enough for a family’s needs. The Volkswagen’s electric charging time is easy to cope with. Plugging the car’s seven-pin charge cable into a 16A wall socket, I got the 9.9kWh battery from a quarter charged
to 100 per cent in under two hours. The GTE runs well on electric-only juice, with a possible range of 31 miles on zero emissions. In Hybrid form the VW saloon responds admirably, even when the petrol engine has closed, which it’ll do at moderate motorway speeds. The power unit restarts effortlessly when it needs to, while the car’s cruise control allows it to store its own impetus and cruise economically. The Passat GTE’s handling is as good as its performance. You can thrust the saloon through bends and its tyres will dig into the tarmac strongly. There’s very little body roll, and the steering, while not delivering that much feedback, is precise. Here’s the important bit, though. VW claims the Passat GTE will do 156.9mpg on the combined cycle. But, as with all cars, this model’s economy will depend on what your driving is like. On a 60-mile run, beginning with a fully charged battery and driving on a mix of roads, I achieved 80.1mpg. Volkswagen’s Passat GTE is, without doubt, a talented car and an attractive vehicle in a wider sense than a conventional high-performing, fully loaded volume-marque. By blending large car pragmatism with a sophisticated plug-in hybrid system, VW has produced one of the greatest reasons yet to think about swapping from a standard oilburning business saloon to an electrically powered one.
