We’ve had a wonderful, yet difficult time picking a Winner from all the wonderful children’s competition entries that we received. A big big thank you to all the parents who have let their children enter. We really are very grateful. I hope you agree that the winner on the front cover is superb, a big well done to Jasmine Khan.

Don’t forget our Poetry Corner corner is being featured each month, so if you have or want to write anything please do so and send it in, we will publish as many as we can. I would like to wish Catherine (my Elf), all our 36 wonderful distributors, all our customers and you, our wonderful readers a very very Merry

Local Choir Celebrates its 150th Anniversary! The Rugby Philharmonic Choir has been proudly performing in the heart of our town since its formation in 1867. Supporting a varied and wide-ranging repertoire with a chorus of some hundred voices, the Philharmonic has been at the heart of Rugby’s artistic community for most of the last hundred and fifty years. It has always had a strong association with Rugby School and its concerts are regularly held in its spacious and impressive Temple Speech Room. Rugby Philharmonic Choir performing at The Temple Speech Room
The “Phil”, as it is affectionately known, was founded 150 years ago in 1867, under the first President the Reverend John Moultrie (Rector and Poet), where choir members paid a subscription of just 1 penny a week!
Over the past years, guest soloists including Janet Baker, Norma Procter, Kathleen Ferrier, John Shirley Quirk, to name but a few, have performed with the choir. The choir’s repertoire is drawn from a wide range of musical genres. They perform both Sacred and Secular choral works through to Opera and Musical Theatre. Rehearsals are joyous, hardworking occasions where increasing membership continue to ensure that the “Phil” moves forward into the 21st century, thus keeping its long traditions alive and intact for future generations of singers and musicians. Under the Leadership of their Musical Director, Mervyn Bethell, 2017 has been an exciting celebratory year for the choir for many reasons; they had the highly acclaimed composer and conductor John Rutter at a ‘Come and Sing’ event in April, in July they were invited to sing as a choir at Songs of Praise in Northampton - a wonderful accolade for the choir. Then a superb Summer Concert to capture the essence of the anniversary theme and lastly their grand finale of Handel’s Messiah to be performed on the 16th December. (TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE at £12.50 each - Details opposite in the advert)
John Rutter & Mervyn Bethell at the ‘Come and Sing’ event in April
Members of the choir are in the final stages of updating a book on the Rugby Philharmonic’s history which captures some wonderful events over the past 150 years, including details of Conductors, Musical Directors and Soloists. A book steeped in history which will provide an excellent inspiring read. Look out for this on their Website, Facebook or Twitter pages for further details and availability. As part of the Choir’s charitable status, they are donating £1867, (the year that the choir was founded ) to The Arnold Foundation – A Rugby School charity, enabling the lives of boys and girls from some of the country’s most deprived communities to benefit from boarding education at this prestigious School.

Bespoke Independent Financial Advice You Can Trust P J L F i n a n c i a l S e r v i c e s was established in 2011 by our manager Paul Loveridge who has amassed over 20 years experience within the financial services industry, having grown steadily since then and we are now a team of six highly motivated and trustworthy individuals. We are a directly authorised firm of Independent Financial Advisers and Mortgage Advisers based in the midlands. We offer impartial financial advice on many aspects of both personal and business needs with our bespoke financial planning service. Here at PJL Financial Services the client really does come first and we understand and respect the fact that financial planning is not a one size fits all product, which is why our team of highly experienced professionals are committed to providing the very best advice for each individual client and we can guarantee that any advice given will be part of a bespoke package specifically tailored to you and your needs. We provide advice on mortgages, buy to lets, savings and investments, all aspects of retirement planning (personal pensions, company pensions, drawdown pensions and annuities), life and critical illness planning, income protection, insurances and estate planning. We often find that people have old, out of date policies and pensions which have not been reviewed for many years which may not be providing the best value for money anymore and by simply updating to a newer cheaper plan or even just altering the investment funds within an existing plan the potential returns can be dramatically improved.
Mortgage Consultancy - Free Consultations - Access to whole of the market - Over 20 years of mortgage experience - Access to exclusive deals - Supply of solicitors at your request - Advice and guidance throughout, from application to completion With our help, your house buying/ remortgage process can be simple and stress free.
Financial Planning - Free consultations - Pre & Post Retirement Planning - Savings & Investments - Life/Critical Illness Cover - Income Protection - Inheritance Tax Planning With the help of our in house pension specialist you can be confident that all of your retirement options can be taken into account and advised upon.
If you need help or guidance with any area of your finances and plans for the future why not give us a call on 01 788 5 7112 2, we’ll be more than happy to discuss these with you and arrange a free, no obligation appointment either here at our Rugby based office or in the comfort of your own home.

Charity calls for Rugby, Coventry and Warwickshire residents to open homes and hearts to care-leavers.. Barnardo’s is appealing for Rugby, Coventry and Warwickshire residents to open their homes and hearts to young people leaving the are system. While providers do not have the same responsibility as parents or foster carers, they are asked to be there in a supportive role while young people prepare for adulthood and independence. They provide a supportive and stable home environment while also offering help with education, job hunting, budgeting, cooking and other skills. Barnardo’s spokesman Michael Spillane said: “Care-leavers are one of the most vulnerable groups in society and sometimes don’t have the life experience to begin living independently. They may leave care with no qualifications or financial stability and they are at significant risk of homelessness. However, supported lodgings providers can make a dramatic difference to their prospects by welcoming them into their home, taking an interest in their well-being, and boosting their skills and confidence.” Applicants must be over 21 and need to have a spare bedroom and the use of a shared kitchen and bathroom. They will be provided with weekly payments for rent, food and other costs. Ongoing support, supervision and training will also be provided. Michael added: “Just about anyone can help a young person leaving care. Even the simplest things – such as having someone who will ask if you’ve had a good day, or returning home to a healthy meal – can mean so much to a young person who is alone and unsure of their place in the world.”
If you would like to find out more please contact Barnardo’s Supported Lodgings on t: 02476 372596 or email: BSLmidlands@barnardos.org.uk

With her high pay (£8.50 - £10), travel costs, holiday pay, pension, extensive training & personal support, Sarah prides herself on the superb reputation that she has earned as being a prestigious employer and provider of Care in Rugby & Lutterworth.
When a new client needs care Sarah pays special attention to the clients location, needs, likes & dislikes and matches the Caregiver to ensure that a suitable partnership can form, giving a happy client and happy employee.
CAREGivers complete City & Guilds Alzheimer’s training

They pride themselves on taking time with clients, making them feel important, valued and cared for. If you like the sound of this type of work but have no previous experience Sarah would love to hear from you as she trains you in full, therefore no previous care experience is necessary.

Looking after those garden visitors
• • • • • •
Keep lawns, borders and paths clear of fallen leaves. Once deciduous plants and climbers have cleared, repair garden structures. Dig over new borders. Plant evergreen shrubs if conditions are dry. Net your pond to keep the water clear of leaves. Prune bush roses down by half to avoid roots damage in winter winds.

•
Bird seed mixtures. These contain a range of different seeds, but the best ones include lots of flaked maize, peanut granules and sunflower seeds, so look out for those. Avoid ones which contain beans, dried rice or lentils as only large birds can eat these, which may deter smaller birds from your garden.
•
Niger (Nyjer) seeds, black sunflower seeds and peanuts are all great choices, as they all contain lots of fats or oils so will help birds to fuel up well. NO salted or dry roasted peanuts.
•
Food bars, ‘bird cake’ or fat balls are great for birds, especially in the winter months when they need extra fat. Make your own at home by using a mixture of melted fat (lard or suet), nuts, oatmeal, cheese, dried fruit and seeds, and set until hard. This detailed tutorial explains how to make fat balls. However, if you buy any of these treats, remember to remove any mesh bags before putting the balls out, as these can injure birds.
•
Dog & cat food (wet only, and in small quantities). During the summer, blackbirds will appreciate a little meaty dog or cat food, when earthworms are difficult to find.
•
Breakfast cereal. Living up to its nickname as ‘bird food’, breakfast cereal makes a great meal for our feathered friends!
Keep those Plants Warm - When winter bites, we can simply duck
indoors or throw on a woolly jumper - but some of our plants don’t have it easy. Plummeting temperatures, frost and rain can take their toll, causing roots to die or rot, Damaging foliage and killing the central growing point of plants. Good mulching around delicate plants, bubble wrap around pots can help. Protect the crowns of tree ferns and insulate their trunks by wrapping them in layers of fleece or hessian stuffed with straw. Cordylines and palms should be treated similarly, by tying their leaves into bunches, to protect their crowns.

Recipes From Three Bistro G t s a

Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter
As we approach the new year and the one year anniversary of ‘three’ it is time to reflect on just how fabulous I, or we (there’s no ‘I’ in team they keep telling me!) have been. Every year my only wish for the next year is that I can be even better, as a man, husband and…so on and so forth... Those that have been to ‘three’ will have noted that it is quite minimalist and we’ve tried to carry this through to our food. We try and create dishes with three main elements such as a spicy lamb, sweet potato mash and mange touts. We try and bring the best out of each of these elements to make the dish sing as a whole rather than over complicate each one. When cooking, as with life, you always have to ask yourself whether adding something is going to improve it, which is even more poignant when it comes to arguments or heated discussions with your partner! Now having said that, this month’s recipe is a bit of a faff so that you can see we aren’t just making excuses because we can’t cook anything more complicated!
The Ingredients Chicken leg or thigh and drum: It’s just too easy to overcook and dry out a breast and even the best cooked breast just doesn’t have the taste or succulence of the leg Butternut squash: The straighter the better as it will be easier to cut Red onion: Fresh and…er…red Garlic & Herbs: It’s in the title so it has to be in! Cumin: The highly versatile spice makes an appearance Lardons: Not a vegetable but thickly cut bacon pieces Charlotte potatoes: They’re petite, they’re not Jerseys or Pipers Broccoli: Again, the fresher the better The Method Drizzle the chicken with oil and season with salt, pepper, herbs and finely chopped garlic and set aside. Skin and cube the butternut squash and roast with chopped garlic and cumin till soft. Slice the potatoes long ways with the skin on and place in an oven dish. Skin and cut the onion in half and place with the potatoes. Sear the chicken in a frying pan till the skin has some colour. Place the chicken in the same oven dish dousing the potato slices and onion with the oil from the pan. Roast the chicken, potatoes and onion in the oven for about 25-30 minutes at 160 degrees. While these are making themselves beautiful in the oven turn your attention to the green bit of this recipe, the broccoli. Slice each floret into thin slices and blanche in salty water before plunging into iced water before setting these aside. Once the chicken is ready cover with foil and allow to rest. Next, make a roux in a saucepan by melting some butter and stirring in some plain flour vigorously to avoid lumps. Dissolve some chicken stock in some boiling water and add to the roux once it has cooled a little. I like to add a little Dijon mustard for old times sake. Take a frying pan and throw in the lardons before adding the broccoli slices. Sear for a few moments till the lardons look scorched. Blend the butternut squash and swirl on the plate that exercises some of your creativity. Place the chicken on top in a pleasing fashion and nestle the onion somewhere warm, preferably around the meat. Place the potato slices around the meat before decorating this like a Christmas tree with the ‘baubles’ of broccoli and lardons. Then dress with the gravy. Enjoy with some crisp white wine or your wife or mistress or indeed Mr. Whatever you do, you have yourself a very merry Christmas before I see you again on the other side when we’ll all be a little older and possibly wiser.

Films Coming to the Cinema during December Star Wars - The Last Jedi: Release Date: 14 December 2017 The Plot: In Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the Skywalker saga continues as the heroes of The Force Awakens join the galactic legends in an epic adventure that unlocks age-old mysteries of the Force and shocking revelations of the past. Stronger: Release Date: 8 December 2017 The Plot: Stronger is the inspiring true story of Jeff Bauman, an ordinary man who captured the hearts of his city and the world to become the symbol of hope following the infamous 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Jeff, a 27-year-old, working-class Boston man who was at the marathon to try and win back his ex-girlfriend Erin (Tatiana Maslany). Waiting for her at the finish line when the blast occurs, he loses both his legs in the attack. After regaining consciousness in the hospital, Jeff is able to help law enforcement identify one of the bombers, but his own battle has just begun. He tackles months of physical and emotional rehabilitation with the unwavering
support of Erin and his family. It is Jeff’s deeply personal account of the heroic journey that tests a family’s bond, defines a community’s pride and inspires his inner courage to overcome devastating adversity. Filled with raw emotion, humanity and humour, Stronger is the inspirational real-life story of the man who became the living embodiment of ‘Boston Strong.’ The film also stars Academy Award nominee Miranda Richardson and is directed by David Gordon Green. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle: Release Date: 20 December 2017. In the brand new adventure the tables are turned as four teenagers in detention are sucked into the world of Jumanji. When they discover an old video game console with a game they’ve never heard of, they are immediately thrust into the game’s jungle setting, into the bodies of their avatars, played by Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan. What they discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji –Jumanji plays you. They’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they’ll be stuck in the game forever...

What Like did the recent budget announcement us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter mean for your mortgage?... The Bank of England has raised its bank rate recently for the first time in a decade - but we’re here to cut through the jargon and answer, what does this mean for you and your mortgage? I’m on a fixed rate mortgage Generally speaking, if you’re on a fixed rate mortgage, you won’t see a difference in your payments. For those of you who still have a while left on your fixed rate mortgage i.e. 3 or 4 year fixed, you won’t notice any difference in your payments now. However, if you’re close to the end of your term, please bear in mind that when your term ends, you’ll fall onto the lender’s variable rate which could result in a rise in your payments. I’m on a tracker mortgage If you have a tracker mortgage which tracks the Bank of England bank rate, this means that you will see a change in your monthly payments. This is a common mortgage type for many landlords, and according to the Bank of England, 43% of homeowners are currently on variable or tracker mortgages too, so if you’re included in this figure, then you may notice a slight increase in your expenditure each month going forwards now. I’m on a standard variable rate mortgage If you’re on a standard variable rate (SVR) mortgage, you’ll need to check what your lender has changed its rate to. The lender’s decision will impact the extra amount you will have to pay each month. In light of this, now could be a good time to consider remortgaging. This way, you could potentially switch to a better rate, or move to a fixed rate mortgage to give you the stability of regular payments. If you’d like to speak to a mortgage adviser about the bank rate and what implications this could have for you, please feel free to get in touch with us now.
For further information call Ritesh Chawda on: 01788 225 562 Email: Ritesh.Chawda@mab.org.uk or visit: mortgageadvicebureau.com Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. There will be a fee for mortgage advice. The actual amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is 0.3% of the amount borrowed.

SEE WHAT KBC CAN CREATE FOR YOU Kitchen & Bathroom Creations has been established now for just over 6 years, starting in a small showroom in Hinckley, quickly expanding into the unit next door to double it's size and more recently opened showrooms in both Warwick and Rugby. As the name suggests, they specialise in creating quality but affordable bathroom and kitchen renovations. Offering a full renovation package from design to completion, they take care of all plumbing, electrics, plastering, tiling etc and use only qualified tradesmen with the back up guarantees on all goods and labour supplied. The Company is family owned and run by the Director, James Holland, his wife Victoria and father Paul, who ran his own successful furniture retail outlet for over 30 years. The Hinckley showroom has recently been refitted, now with 6000 sq ft of retail and warehouse space with over 20 bathroom sets, and our complete new range of kitchens and bedroom sliding wardrobes on display. After 6 years of trading, James feels the time is right to expand the business further to bring the successful formula of quality but affordability to other areas, and shortly in addition to Hinckley, Warwick and Rugby, will be opening branches in other areas shortly. James would also like to point out that over the past 6 years we have successfully completed over 1000 renovations, and this year particular emphasis will be placed on the growth of our kitchen range with the four best selling lines, Gloss Slab, Traditional Shaker, J.Pull Gloss, and the True Handless range being heavily promoted. James says " We are already cheaper than all of the big D.I.Y stores but by increasing our sales volumes, our prices will come down further, giving our customers even better value for money". KBC offer a free, no obligation planning service for your kitchen and bathroom and will either just supply your goods or fully manage all or part of your renovation project. If you just want to freshen up your tired kitchen, they also offer a door change service with many styles and colours to choose from.
