So the holiday time is upon us. Hayden, our son, has gone to Grandma and Grandad’s for a couple of weeks up North. He could not wait to get in the car! When I called this evening and Grandma asked if he wanted to speak to me, his casual response was “No that’s fine”. I guess he is doing well then! Funny aren’t they. I can’t blame him… boat trips, steam engines, fishing, parks, games and undivided attention. That’s what Grandparents are for hey. We are very lucky. I hope if you are a grandparent that you get to see your grandchildren too. So — despite all the fun of the summer (and I do hope we get some more sunshine) do ta ke a look through The Southbourne Link and get some help in the house, get the electrics sorted, a full house clean, the garden maintained, take up dancing, or indeed get lots of things done that you haven’t gotten around to yet. All of the advertisers inside will be very willing to help. Please give them a call and do mention The Southbourne Link. ! I always love to hear that the local people are getting lots of calls. There are of course many articles from local organisations and clubs who would also love to hear from you. The very lucky winner of the Big Three at the BIC last month was D Harrington. Well done to you and we hope you have a great day out with the family. This month the prize is an organic beauty basket. Good luck. Steve and I wish you all a fabulous summer!! Very Best Wishes,
Debbie

VULCAN EFFECT SPREADS TO A SECOND DISPLAY Avro Vulcan confirmed for second Festival appearance Bournemouth Air Festival organisers have confirmed that the mighty Avro Vulcan will now be able to display twice thanks to the support of S&D Leisure, who are supporting Saturday’s display, and Bournemouth Airport, the appearance supporter for Sunday.
Jon Weaver, Bournemouth Air Festival director says; “What a great addition to an already great flying programme. We’re so pleased to have the Vulcan for a second display, so a big thank you to S&D Leisure and Bournemouth Airport for their generous contribution.”
Stanley Reeves, owner of S&D Leisure said; “We’re proud to support the Vulcan display on Saturday where she’ll be joining the Red Arrows and Tornado Role Demo for what I’m sure will be another great Festival ‘power hour’. It’s certainly going to get loud!”
The Bournemouth Air Festival will be taking place at Bournemouth seafront on August 18th to the 21st and boasts a line up that includes the Red Arrows and The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
Sally Windsor from Bournemouth Airport said; “The Vulcan is such a tremendous crowd-puller at every event she displays at, so the opportunity to bring her to Bournemouth was too tempting to pass up.” The imposing bomber is operated by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust, who are delighted at the opportunity to display a second time. CEO of the Trust Dr Robert Pleming said; “We have always said that Bournemouth is a real highlight for us. The flight path along the beach is glorious, the huge crowds very enthusiastic and the reception to the Vulcan is always extremely warm, so we’re very grateful to S&D Leisure for allowing us to extend the Vulcan effect to a second display”.

When did you last have your hearing checked? Now approaching their second year in Christchurch High Street, Clarity Hearing Solutions have become one of the fastest growing independent hearing healthcare specialists in the country. The experience and expertise offered by the Clarity team has helped many local residents rediscover the joy of better hearing over the past year. They have recently teamed up with Shelley Medical Centre in Beechwood Avenue, Bournemouth to offer a FREE drop-in hearing performance check on Monday mornings from 9am until 12pm. Director Heather Cowell says “It is a fact that one in six people in the UK have a hearing loss – that’s over ten million people, but many don’t take the opportunity to have their hearing assessed. This new
TSL August 2011 page 12
service at Shelley Medical Centre allows anyone who is concerned about their hearing to pop in for advice and a free hearing check “ Mr. P. B. of Christchurch, now a client of Clarity Hearing Solutions, recently wrote to say “ ..the difference in my hearing is dramatic, you exceeded my hopes….I am so pleased Mike recommended I consult you.” So, why not make Monday your better hearing day? Pop along to see Heather (right) at the Shelley Manor Medical Centre – you don’t even need to make an appointment.

Some Dorset Bones and Burials
G
rue s o m e pe r ha ps , b ut nevertheless fascinating, Dorset has some odd tales to tell about some of its burials. Take Mrs Perkins, for instance… She died in 1783, terrified of being buried alive, and so gave the strictest of instructions that her coffin should have a hinged lid. She wanted to be able to push it open if she suddenly woke up after her funeral. She also ordered that she should lie in a building with a special lock to its door that could only be opened from the inside. Imagining every awkward possibility, she even stipulated that the building should be near the school which used to be in St Michael’s Loft in Christchurch Priory – guessing that the kids there would hear her shouts if ever she managed to squeeze out of her coffin but be unable to get out of the building! If you go close to Christchurch Priory today, just beyond the east end, in the grounds beside the river walk you can find a weirdly puzzling building. It intrigues those who walk by, as there is no indication as to what it is. It is, of course, the building where old Mrs Perkins lay for twenty years after her death. It’s empty now, as she was taken to be buried with her
TSL August 2011 page 16
husband when he died. It’s an odd tale, but has a spice of adventure attached to it, because it may well have been used by Dorset smugglers as a hiding-place for their contraband goods. ——————————— And what about the story of the Dorset Saxon King whose bones were kept for years in an old cutlery-box in the vaults of the then Midland Bank in Woking! The King in question was the teenager, Edward the Martyr, killed by his wicked stepmother so that she could put her own son, Ethelred the Unready, on the throne. Edward’s bones were lost for centuries after Shaftesbury Abbey was destroyed by Henry VIII. Dramatically, they were rediscovered in the 1930’s. However, they became the object of a bitter quarrel between two brothers who both claimed ownership. While the brothers engaged in a lengthy legal argument, Edward’s royal bones were lodged with the Midland Bank in Woking. However, eventually they were given as relics to Russian Orthodox monks who now keep them in a shrine in Brookwood Cemetery. People come from far and wide to venerate them…

Find us online at www.southbournelink.co.uk Do you remember Robin Day, the TV presenter and interviewer? He was the Jeremy Paxman of his time, and cabinet ministers were terrified of being quizzed by him. His grave is in Whitchurch Canonicorum, where the headstone declares: In loving memory of SIR ROBIN DAY, THE GRAND INQUISITOR. ——————————— When you next see Old Harry Rocks, think of the novelist H. G. Wells, whose War of the Worlds more or less gave a kick-start to the entire genre of science fiction. After cremation, Wells’s ashes were cast into the sea next to Old Harry. ——————————— And in Halstock you can find a tombstone commemorating John Pitt, whose astonishing long life enabled him to live in three centuries! He was born in January 1799 and died in January 1901. He lived in the reigns of four monarchs – George III, George IV, William IV, and Victoria. If only he’d managed to survive just two more days he would also have lived in the reign of Edward VII! ——————————— These stories and many more can be found in David Hilliam’s most recent book, The Little Book of Dorset, (£9.99 from most bookshops). David is a local writer and lecturer, and is

August’s Gardening Tips From Paul Chatfield of Chatfield’s Garden & Property Services Always give your plants good thoughts! Trees and Shrubs Some trees and shrubs that have flowered can now be pruned. They should be pruned after flowering. If bearing fruit, prune after cropping.
Climbers and Wall-Plants Clematis shoots are now in vigorous growth, if training regularly secure them to their supports. Wisteria can be pruned back to four or five leaves now.
Roses If there are two few new canes one or two of the oldest strong ones can be kept; cut back their side shoots to between four and six inches (ten to fifteen cms).
Borders and Beds To keep up the vigour of flowering plants they should be watered well and fed fortnightly. Give a good mulch afterwards. Always pick flowers regularly.
Bulbs and Corms Daffodil bulbs that were lifted after flowering and placed in store should be planted towards end of month, or any spring bulbs.
Fruit As soon as the last fruit has been picked all su mmer-fru iting raspberries & blackcurrants should be pruned before the end of the month.
Vegetables All spring vegetables should be sown in the first two weeks of August e.g. cabbage, radish, parsley, winter spinach.
Greenhouse and Frame Cyclamen tubers rested during the summer may be started into growth again, knock them from their pots and replant them in potting compost.
House Plants While away, to keep plants well watered place them in a large clear bag with a little water in the bottom, blowing up bag and tied tight.

Rock Gardens and pools Old flowering stems should be cut down to prevent from unwanted reseeding. Be sure to keep pools filled to make up for loss by evaporation.
Lawns To make a new lawn or fill in bare patches seed should be sown before the end of the month.

THE REGENT CENTRE – 80 YEARS YOUNG! The Regent celebrates 80 years of entertaining the Borough of Christchurch
Bingo Returns to the Regent for the first time since 1982! Having first opened its doors to the public on Boxing Day 1931, the Regent Centre is celebrating its 80th birthday this year. As part of the celebrations for 80 successful years entertaining the Borough of Christchurch, there will be a series of period films, shows, talks and activities to reflect the history of the Regent. On Monday 5 September at 7pm in the Studio, there will be a chance for cineastes, movie moguls, film fiends and silver screen searchers to shine at the Regent Centre 80th Anniversary Film Quiz. The Bar will be open, just in case your Box Office returns are a disaster and there will be prizes for the winners. Advance booking highly recommended. Turkeys need not apply! The weekend of Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 September will be devoted to the Regent’s 80th birthday. A real highlight will be a series of classic period feature films from the 1930s. Entry to these will be just 80 Pence per feature film – that’s just 1 pence per year of the Regent! On Saturday 10 September at 10.30am the Regent will be showing one of the best British films of the 1930s, The 39 Steps (1935) (U). This is Alfred Hitchcock’s brilliant adaptation of John Buchan’s gripping thriller, in which Robert Donat finds himself pursued by the police from London to the Highlands of Scotland for a murder he did not commit. The 39 Steps will be shown with two animated shorts: The Cat Concerto (1947) (U), which won Tom & Jerry the Oscar for Best Short Film and One Froggy Evening (1955) (U), a Warner Looney Tunes classic about a singing frog. On Sunday 11 September at 2.30pm there will be a chance to see what was almost certainly the first winner of the Best Film Oscar ever to be shown at the Regent. Grand Hotel (1932) (U) stars Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Lionel Barrymore and John Barrymore. On Sunday 11 September at 7.30pm, the ultimate Busby Berkeley musical, 42nd Street (1933) (U), gets a welcome revival at the

Regent, starring Ginger Rogers, Ruby Keeler, Bebe Daniels and Dick Powell. This film is full of show stopping choreography and songs. On Saturday 10 September at 1.30pm it will be eyes down for a full house as Bingo returns to the Regent for the first time since February 1982, the year that Mecca finally left Christchurch and closed the Regent. Then on Saturday 10 September at 7.30pm, Regent Rep present 80 Years of Musical Theatre at the Regent. A galaxy of stars from groups such as Highcliffe Charity Players, Milton Musical Society and Theatre 2000 will perform songs from Broadway hits and West End award winners to bring those memories flooding back. Everyone is welcome to join The Family Church on Sunday 11 September 10.30am for their weekly service, which is always informal and fun. The 200 strong Family Church has made the Regent their home and meet every Sunday throughout the year at 10.30am. The Regent is 80 years young this year and looking forward to a bright future as the hub of entertainment in the Borough. The new What’s On brochure covering July – November is now out, so do pop in to the Regent to pick one up and see the full line-up of attractions for the Summer and Autumn 2011.
