NEW RESEARCH SHOWS CURRY 

IS GOOD FOR YOU 

Ok, so there is a touch of poetic 

license here, but I do love a 

curry, in fact other than my ex 

father in law I don’t know 

anyone that doesn’t! Going on 

that premise and the fact that if 

I can scientifically justify 

something with some good 

solid research I’m going with the title. As an aside, I’m happy to 

include one of my own recipes I use to get all the goodness in, at 

the end of the article. 

So what am I going on about? Well, In the immortal words of 

Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, 1826: 

“Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es.” [Tell me 

what you eat and I will tell you what you are]. Or putting it 

simply… “You are what you eat”! 

If you are suffering from inflammation; this could be arthritis, it 

could be an inflammatory bowel disease, it could be a case of 

non specific skin rashes, there are various foods that can help to 

reduce this inflammation around the body and thus help it to 

heal. 

We all know about omega three fatty acids found in fish such as 

sardines, herring and salmon, or in the case of the clinic the cold 

filtered pure omega three we sell to our clients, it’s one of 

biggest product sellers! But did you know about the “good 

stuff” in certain nuts and indeed dark chocolate! (Another 

fabulous justification as long as you stick to the dark stuff, the 

sugar in normal chocolate actually increases inflammation!). 

Alongside these three things there are 7 spices in particular 

which are amazing at reducing inflammation.

Black pepper or more precisely the active chemical “piperine” in 

the pepper, has also been demonstrated to be a great anti 

inflammatory, anti oxidant as well as having anti bacterial 

effects, especially in the early acute stages of inflammation. 

Cayenne pepper has been used as an anti-inflammatory for 

thousands of years. The active ingredients “capsaicinoids” are a 

powerful anti-inflammatory and have long been used to ease 

digestive problems, however more recent research has 

demonstrated its amazing ability to reduce the inflammations 

associated with arthritis and headaches.

Cinnamon is another spice that numerous studies have shown it 

has anti inflammatory properties and can help to ease swelling. 

Best of all it can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes. 

Cloves, which have been used for years as an expectorant, treat 

upset stomachs, nausea and inflammation of the throat and 

mouth 

Garlic has been proven to ease the inflammatory markers 

associated with arthritis, fresh is best but your friends and family 

may start to avoid you, is this is the case, try roasting it or adding 

it to your meals. 

Ginger in all its forms, powdered in teas, in cooking (Asian and 

Indian food) has again been used for centuries to treat 

inflammatory conditions such stomach upsets, headaches and 

infection. 

Turmeric, which contains “curcumin” and has been used for 

centuries to reduce inflammation, let alone treat wounds, 

infections, colds and even liver disease.

A ‘KIND OF BLUE’ PLAYS MJQ 

"Kind of Blue" (KOB), a local modern jazz group, are really 

looking forward to performing in the Bell, Woodham Ferrers, 

next Monday September 3rd, 8.30pm - 11.00pm. 

The Barns, Crows Lane

Among many tunes from the "Great American Songbook" and 

other jazz "standards" we will include numbers from the '50s 

and '60s "Modern Jazz Quartet" 

(John Lewis, piano; Milton Jackson, vibraharp; Percy Heath, bass; 

Connie Kay, drums). 

They played a form of music called "chamber jazz". 

John Lewis's philosophy in dealing with racism in America was 

not to fight it, but to rise above it (these ideas were promulgated 

by many other Afro-Americans-e.g. the authors and poets in the 

"Black Renaissance" in Harlem). 

Lewis was disgusted with the "slide" into drugs into which many 

of his contemporary jazz musicians were descending. 

In his eyes they were fulfilling the stereo typical views of the 

black man, held by white supremacists. 

The "Modern Jazz Quartet" (aka MJQ) took on the trappings of 

a "classical" chamber group: 

They mostly performed in concert halls, wore evening suits, and 

even did jazz variations of the works of Bach. They were out to 

prove that black American music could be just as sophisticated as 

white European. (Jazz had come a long way from the bawdy 

"speakeasies" of New Orleans). But despite this, they kept the 

essence of jazz, in that the MJQ really knew how to "swing". 

Hopefully, by playing compositions, such as "Django" and "Bag's 

Groove", written by the members of the American group, 

Woodham's "Kind of Blue" will also bring that quality to our 

work. Entertainment, entry and sandwiches are free, so see you 

there!

THE HOLLY CLACY FOUNDATION FUN DAY 

The Holly Clacy Foundation had its inaugural Family Fun Day in 

South Woodham Ferrers two weeks ago on the 4th August. 

Despite it being a hot day, the event was very well attended at 

the local Rugby Club in Ferrers Road. 

One of the trustees for the foundation, David Clacy, said “I was 

blown away by the volume of people that came. We opened at 

11am and there was a steady stream of families making their 

way throughout the day.” 

Among the attractions, covering three rugby pitches, were stalls 

selling crafts of all kinds, food, drinks, games and bouncy castles. 

“One of my favourite things, was the petting zoo,” said David. 

“They had a tarantula called Curly, and it was great watching 

people challenge their fears by holding him.” 

As well as the many attractions and stalls, the Foundation also 

had a display area set up, where local activity groups came to 

entertain the crowds with their presentations, and was 

compered by local singer, Rita B. David went on to say “We had 

everything from gymnastics and parkour, right through to 

dancing and even a bagpipe ensemble. During the evening we 

had a children’s singing competition in the club house, which 

was judged by the patron of the foundation, David Barnes from 

the TV programme The Voice. We followed that with live music 

from talented young artists, including Aaron Norman and Unify. 

In the end we raised over £1,000 even though the event was set 

up purely as a thank-you to our community for their support of 

my family and their generosity.” 

The Foundation was created after the death of David’s daughter 

Holly, aged just 15, late last November. A local business woman 

called Sue Colvill, helped start the initiative by offering to 

organise a fund raising event for the family. “Once Sue got 

involved and prepared that, the Foundation grew from there” 

said David. “We have many ideas that we’d love to push forward 

and we’re always looking for advice from healthcare 

professionals and volunteers to help us” 

The Holly Clacy Foundation can be found on Facebook and is 

raising money to help set up ideas to combat bullying via 

multimedia, running workshops to encourage young people to 

communicate their problems more effectively and even educate 

people to warning signs of emotional issues. “One of the things 

that came to me after Holly’s death was the use of the word 

‘mental’ when referring to people’s state of mind,” said David. 

“I would love the word ‘mental’ being replaced with something 

like ‘emotional insecurity’. It has a better connotation and is 

perhaps more appropriate given that a label of ‘mental’ in any 

capacity is more clinical in its diagnosis. I just feel it’s not 

appropriate particularly as Holly was always a lovely, bubbly and 

happy girl.” 

David said he would love to give his thanks to everyone who 

came, those that helped and those that took part and he went 

on to say, “There are just too many to mention, but Sue Colvill 

and Tina Williams were a fantastic help in setting up the Fun Day 

and booking everyone in. They continue to work with me to help 

drive forward our ideas. Ultimately though, none of the day 

would have been a success without the support of our 

community who put feet on the grass on the day. I remain 

indebted to everyone.”

SOUTH WOODHAM FERRERS LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY 

 

REASONS TO CELEBRATE: 

the Society’s 40th 

Anniversary and a reduction 

in membership fees! 

At its September meeting the South Woodham Ferrers Local 

History Society reaches a significant milestone when it celebrates 

the 40th Anniversary of the formation of the society. As its 

special guest speaker for this ruby anniversary meeting the 

Society is very pleased to be welcoming Lord Petre of 

Ingatestone Hall. 

Lord Petre will be giving an illustrated talk about the history of 

his family and in particular the period covered by the 7th, 8th 

and 9th Lords Petre in the 18th century when the fortunes of this 

ancient Essex family probably reached their peak. On the 

occasion of his last visit to the Society Lord Petre talked about 

his role as the Lord Lieutenant of Essex and we can safely assume 

that he will not have lost any of the entertaining and engaging 

manner, that he demonstrated then, when he covers this 

sometimes colourful period in his family’s life... 

As part of the Society’s celebrations, and after many years when 

the membership subscription has remained at £12 per annum, 

the healthy position in which the Society now finds itself – with 

sixty members – means that it has been decided that the annual 

subscription should be reduced to just £10 per annum. This will 

give admission to all of the Society’s eight talks between 

September and May and with an interesting programme of 

subjects lined up for the coming year, including talks on 

Braintree silk making, Railway branch lines to Maldon, Essex

125th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS 

I am writing on behalf of The Salvation Army 

Corps at Jersey Gardens, Wickford, SS11 7AE 

which is celebrating its 125th Birthday this year. 

Already some exciting events have been held, 

notably the actual Anniversary being held in the 

marquee at The Quart Pot Public House, Runwell, 

where The Salvation Army held its first meeting in the district in 

1983. We continue with our regular public 10.30am Sunday 

meetings, but our next big celebration will take place at our 

Harvest Thanksgiving weekend to be held on the 29th/30th 

September in Wickford SA Hall. On Saturday the 29th, a Flower 

Festival, from 10am to 5pm, will be open for all to attend, with 

an exhibition on historic Wickford Salvation Army photographs 

being held in the adjoining hall. Tea/Coffee available. Some local 

companies are contributing to floral displays as well as Army 

activities being incorporated in displays by members. 

On Sunday the 30th, there will be a Harvest meeting at 10.30am 

to be led by former officer leaders, Majors Ellwyn and Carole 

Harries. We are happy to welcome anyone at any time, on any 

occasion, but visitors might like to make a note of this special 

‘birthday’ event, and come along; we shall be very pleased to see 

them.

MISTER GEES FOUNDATION UPDATE 

Following my recent successful appeal for help in the Focus last 

month I should like say a little more about what the aims of 

Mister Gees Foundation are and how the Warwick Parade shop 

fits into the picture. 

As somebody who knows just how much water it takes to make 

one bottle of wine or a pint of beer it always sat a little uneasy 

with me that whilst most of us imbibed freely there are millions 

of people who lack access to clean there are millions of people 

who lack access to clean drinking water and sanitation. The 

recent drought in Cape Town has highlighted that it is not only 

remote villages in third world countries that are facing this 

problem. 

The foundation aims to encourage the study of sustainable 

water management in UK universities and colleges in order to 

address future shortages caused by climate change. 

Fifty percent of the profit raised in the Foundation Shop helps 

fund this cause with the other fifty percent being donated to 

good causes in South Woodham Ferrers via The Village Group. 

Thanks to your support, over fifteen thousand pounds has been 

given to the village since last November. 

Full details of all local beneficiaries can be found on our 

website at www.mistergees.org

OVER TO YOU..... 

It’s so hot in here! A poem by Sophie 

Hi, Last night my daughter (Sophie 9 

years) came up with every excuse 

under the sun not to go to bed, which 

meant I couldn’t go to bed either her 

final excuse was she was too hot (like 

everyone else wasn’t) trying hard to 

keep calm I said to her why don’t 

you write a poem about it and I’ll 

send it to the Focus! This is what I 

woke up to this morning so I have 

now kept my end of the bargain 

and sent it to you. 

Zoe 

My bedroom is hot, hotter than yours, 

don’t sweat because I’m wet. 

Your duvet is thin, mine is thick, 

my window is open just like yours. 

Oh and I have closed my door, poor me. 

Should be in Spain with Popsie 

Chilling in his villa with air conditioning on full blast. 

And dipping in the pool after every hour but just to let you know 

it is blazing in here. 

from Sophie xxx 

P.S. What a special family we are. 

Thank you for stunning garden 

I would just like to say thank you and well done to the lady who 

has been tending the very large flower bed by the bus stop in 

Broughton Road, near Starboard View. It really looks stunning. I 

don’t know if it’s your own garden or a common area but I’m 

sure you’ve made a lot of people smile. Thanks. 

Maureen, Blackwood Chine. 

Shaw Farm 

It had been a long time since I visited Shaw Farm, so when my 

husband and I did last week we weren't sure what to expect. 

What we had, was a very friendly welcome from George one of 

the waitresses, followed by the same from Claire the Manageress 

for the past 5 months. 

Although it was just about 3 pm we were told that there is 

always a chef on duty, so Restaurant and Bar meals are always 

cooked fresh. 

My husband ordered 8 oz medium rump steak plus all the 

trimmings and I had Sea Bass fillets. As a side we had garlic 

mushrooms. Everything was cooked perfect and just to our liking. 

My fish was yummy, so was his steak, best one for ages. So well 

done to everyone at Shaw Farm, we enjoyed our late lunch very 

much, I finished mine off with Creme brûlée, perfect!!! 

There is a very friendly feel about the staff, all enjoying their 

work. So I do hope that "Shaw Farm"once more become the 

venue we loved to visit, Good Luck Claire in your Shaw Farm 

venture.

Spirited Gardener 

This is an image of a strip of garden on Broughton Road, which 

seems to have been created by a lady gardener. It’s worthy of 

inclusion in the Focus (in my opinion) because the bit of garden 

can’t be seen from the inside of the property, it is only seem by 

those of us that drive past. I was thinking that a caption like 

“Piece of garden created by a public spirited lady gardener for 

people to see as they drive around the corner on Broughton 

Road”. 

All too often we see people not taking pride in the outward 

facing bits of their garden and this is a nice example of someone 

who has created something that the rest of us can enjoy!

SOUTH WOODHAM FERRERS WI AUGUST REPORT 

table. They were so popular that the 

Craft Club has been asked to make 

Christmas cards for the Christmas 

Coffee Morning in the WI hall on 

Friday the 23rd of November. Please 

put the date in your diaries! Thanks 

to the hard work of the Committee 

and the support of all who came 

along, we are delighted to say we 

raised £196 for a very worthy charity. The husband of one of our 

ladies very kindly made this up to £200 – a fantastic result. It was 

a fun afternoon and we are anticipating a reprise next year. 

The Afternoon Tea in aid of Breast Cancer Care was a great 

success. We were very pleased to welcome ladies from East 

Hanningfield WI and local visitors, as well as a good turn out 

from our own ladies. The response to the request for homemade 

cakes was overwhelming and we had a wonderful selection from 

bread pudding to fairy cakes and everything in between. Thank 

you to everyone who made/bought cakes – they were delicious 

and there were not many left at the end of the afternoon! 

There was a raffle, a quiz and a prize for the best decorated bra, 

won by Linda. The ladies from our Craft Club made lots of 

homemade cards for the event and these were flying off the 

Traditionally the August WI meeting is replaced by an outing and 

this year was no exception. It was an early start to visit 

Aldeburgh in Suffolk. Fortunately the A12 didn’t hold us up too 

much and we were there in plenty of time to start the day with 

coffee. The weather was kind (but not too hot) and one of our 

ladies braved the waves and swam in the sea. She said it was 

like a warm bath but the rest of us just took her word for that! 

Well done Viv. After a walk along the High Street, we enjoyed 

lunch in a very pleasant restaurant near the sea front. It was fish 

and chips (all served at the same time and piping hot) and a 

wonderful selection of desserts. The sticky toffee pudding with 

clotted cream was particularly delicious! After a walk along the 

sea wall, the coach brought us safely home, again without too 

much traffic. 

A big thank you to Shirley who organised a splendid day out, as 

she always does. During lunch she was given some suggestions 

for next year’s outing so sorry Shirley, you’ve still got the job!! 

SOUTH WOODHAM 




The Light 

Our future, whether in this town or on a global scale, will be defined by the children 

– of this town, of this world. We would hope that there will be children that we have 

raised or that we know that will make a difference. A difference to the environment, 

a difference to the health of people, to make a contribution to the wellbeing of the 

towns community or on a larger scale. 

When we look at our children, why shouldn’t our expectations be great for them. We live in a place and in a country that, 

compared to many other places, offers opportunities through education, employment and accommodation that provide some 

of the foundations. 

The questions for the community, the families, friends, and organizations that combine to support children is how to do it and 

what do we want for them? 

Children are shaped by their environment – home, school, where they play/hang out; they are moved forward by the relationships 

within these environments. From these relationships there is a Love that seeks to encourage, keep safe, listen, instruct and be 

consistent and provide a firm foundation; whether, family or friendships, we are social and grow through our socializing. 

It can be a difficult and challenging journey, but we have within this community other people that have chosen to raise children 

that can share concerns and celebrate the achievements. So, what do we want for them – good health, happiness, and to achieve. 

We should aim high. We may think that he or she hasn’t got the ability or there are financial restrictions upon ourselves: but 

there may be a desire within that young person to do something, create something, change something that, with support and 

encouragement, will happen because they want it to. There is a drive to grow as an individual within us from birth, and that 

growth will look different for each of us and is not always measured through material wealth, but also individual achievement. 

Jesus is an important companion in the journey described. He is a strong foundation, He is the love when received into our lives 

through how we then look at this world, and a guiding word for all supporting the children when times are challenging.

ABORTION PILLS AT HOME. Women in England will be able to take 

abortion pills at home by the end of the year, the government has 

announced. Kat Lay, writing in The Times, goes on to say that: "At 

present they must make two visits to a clinic to take the medication, in 

the form of two pills, mifepristone and misoprostol, ideally between 24 

and 48 hours apart. They will now be allowed to take the second pill at 

home." 

KL adds: "Campaigners say that the need for a repeat visit has placed 

insurmountable barriers to healthcare for some vulnerable women, who 

may struggle to arrange childcare or days off work. Some women begin 

to miscarry and bleed heavily while on their journey home after taking 

the second pill." 

She explains that: "Under the 1967 Abortion Act, pregnancies can be 

legally terminated only in a place approved by the Health Secretary - but 

by the end of the year 'home' (where suitable) is likely to be designated 

as such a place." 

So, if you get a knock at the door and you open it to find the Health 

Secretary standing on your doorstep, let him in and show him round - he 

only wants to inspect your home to ensure it meets NHS health and 

safety standards in case it should ever be needed as a suitable site for 

primary healthcare needs. Who knows, if he's really impressed by the 

facilities you may be able to rent out the spare bedroom for use as a leg 

ulcer clinic or a base for the incontinence service. 

"What do colour blind people do when they are told to eat their 

greens?" - Flo and Joan 

This is not the first example of a move from hospital to home. When the 

first treatments for erectile dysfunction were made available 'on the 

NHS' patients had to be dealt with at the local hospital. This was long 

before Viagra - and the drug had to be injected into rather a sensitive 

part of the body. Patients were not thought to be capable of this - so 

gentlemen with this problem were told to turn up at the hospital clinic 

wearing a "baggy overcoat." Presumably they were also expected to 

have a getaway car revving up outside (together with a police escort in 

case they encountered a traffic jam on the way home.) Judging by the 

law of averages, there must have been some of those treated in this way 

who arrived home to find a note from their 'other halves' saying: "Just 

popped out to Bingo - your dinner's in the oven." 

"I think love is like central heating. You turn it on before guests arrive 

and pretend it's like this all the time" - Laura Lexx 

SURGE IN HEART DISEASE & STROKES PREDICTED. BBC reporter Alex 

Therrien writes: "Heart attacks and strokes in England are set to surge in 

the next 20 years as diabetes cases linked to lifestyle increase, a charity 

has warned. The number of diabetics is projected to rise by one million 

by 2035, largely driven by more cases of type 2 diabetes and increasing 

rates of obesity. This could lead to a 29% rise in heart attacks and strokes 

linked to diabetes, the British Heart Foundation said." 

The problem is that the people most at risk have yet to get the message 

and so the likelihood is that they will sleepwalk into catastrophe. There 

are currently attempts to pick up patients before they have developed 

'full blown' diabetes in the hope that they (and the NHS) will be spared 

the consequences. Even this, though, is, to an extent, acting too late. 

One way forward might be to put the advice where it's most needed - for 

example, the supermarkets where people buy most of their food. If you 

watch 'at risk' people piling junk food into their trolleys it's clear that 

they haven't yet realised that, if you buy it, you're going to eat it - and, 

if you eat it, you're going to pile on the pounds. Having a dietician 

offering advice at this stage might just get the message across. 

On the other hand, no commercial enterprise is going to antagonise its 

best customers so it's hard to see this idea taking off. I can't say I look 

forward to being led shamefacedly into the 'ASDA Biscuit Addiction 

Centre' to be told in no uncertain terms: "physician heal thyself!" So 

perhaps it's as well to leave things as they are. 

"Trump said he'd build a wall but he hasn't even picked up a brick. He's 

just another middle-aged man failing on a DIY project" - Justin 

Moorhouse. 

BETTER CARE FOR LONG TERM CONDITIONS. Back in 2012 the BBC 

reported: "The health system in the UK cannot cope with the rising 

number of under-65s with long-term medical conditions and needs 

"radical change", says a study in The Lancet. A team of researchers 

analysing 1.75 million people in Scotland found that nearly a quarter 

had two or more chronic diseases. Their care was often co-ordinated 

poorly and inefficient, the study said. The team wants a more personal 

approach to patients with complex problems." 

The article went on to say: "At present, healthcare services, medical 

research and the education of medical students are dominated by a focus 

SOUTH WOODHAM 


FOCUS ON HEALTH 

on individual diseases. Yet rising numbers of people are living with more 

than two long-term disorders, called "multimorbidity", which could 

include coronary heart disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke and depression. 

In general, people with multimorbidity are more likely to live in deprived 

areas and have a poorer quality of life. Their care is fragmented because 

they see a number of different specialists." 

Our problem in SWF is that 'multimorbidity' is NOT confined to those 

living in deprived areas such as Little Baddow. We see a large number of 

cases here in SWF - but because the NHS has discovered we're all richer 

than Croesus, we struggle to cope due to the fact that the funding here 

is insufficient for the need. 

In March of this year, Cambridge University's School of Clinical Medicine 

put out a newsletter in which we were told that: "Over 14 million people 

in England have multiple long-term health problems and over a third of 

those have a mental health condition, according to a new analysis of 

data from over 400,000 patients in England. More than half of GP 

consultations are now with patients with multimorbidity, say researchers 

in the new study, published today in the British Journal of General 

Practice. Dr Duncan Edwards, Amelia Harshfield, Professor Simon Griffin 

and James Brimicombe provide an up-to-date and comprehensive 

description of multimorbidity — where patients have two or more 

currently active, long term conditions. These conditions include those 

heavily influenced by lifestyle factors such as coronary heart disease, 

diabetes or cancer." 

The article goes on to say: "As multimorbidity rates climb, demands on 

health services are increasing and the number of GP consultations, 

prescriptions, and stays in hospital are all rising steeply. Younger patients 

may have complex physical and mental health problems, while clinicians 

may find it difficult to manage the number of comorbidities that older 

patients are experiencing. The information in this study may make it 

possible to target areas of the health service where training or resources 

are needed to handle this increasing burden." 

Dr Duncan Edwards is quoted in the article: "It may be that we need to 

think about a drastic restructuring of services: no longer will people be 

seen in ‘single disease’ services but in new multimorbidity clinics designed 

for the future." 

This is what used to happen in the old days, of course, before the arrival 

of the 'super-specialist' ... these days it's not unusual for patients to see 

three or four different consultants (and communication between them 

all too often isn't what it should be.) 

"Why are they calling it Brexit and not The Great British Break Off?" - 

Alex Edelman 

This week there's news of an initiative that could make a difference. 

NHS England announced on the Today programme that GP will be 

encouraged to look for signs of mental health in those with long term 

organic (physical) health conditions as the two often coexist. For 

example, most people can put up with aches and pains that last a day or 

two, but severe pain that goes on month after month, year after year, is 

likely to result in depression. Even the stoics amongst us will eventually 

succumb. Furthermore, there will be additional funding for trained 

clinicians whose job it is to deal with the patients we flag up as having 

mental health problems. My concern is that, as usual, there will be far too 

many patients and far too few suitably trained clinicians - but at least 

it's a step in the right direction. 

"I've got a new job collecting all the jumpers left in the park at the 

weekends, but it's not easy. They keep moving the goalposts" - Darren 

Walsh 

NOT WHAT DRINKERS WANT TO HEAR: The Lancet has conducted a 

massive study concluding that "Alcohol use is a leading risk factor for 

death and disability." It goes on to say: "Alcohol use is a leading risk 

factor for global disease burden and causes substantial health loss. We 

found that the risk of all-cause mortality, and of cancers specifically, rises 

with increasing levels of consumption, and the level of consumption that 

minimises health loss is ZERO" ... in other words, there is NO safe limit. 

Even a glass of wine a day increases a woman's chance of developing 

breast cancer ... and, though there those in whom a glass somewhat 

improves their cardiovascular health, this is far outweighed by the 

increase in other risks you run. It's a huge problem in the young too - 

motor vehicle crashes (often alcohol related) are the leading cause of 

death in people aged 15 to 20 - and other accidents (such as drowning) 

are also frequently linked to alcohol ingestion. Liver specialists are seeing 

more cases of cirrhosis in the young (resulting in death in some and the 

need for a transplant in others.) The list goes on .... 

It's not what we want to hear, is it? Sadly, though, the evidence keeps 

piling up. The killjoys are winning the argument!

Students and staff of William de Ferrers School are celebrating the superb successes of our students who 

continue to achieve excellent results. A sense of joy was clearly evident as so many young people met or 

exceeded their expectations enabling them to successfully continue on to the next stage in their education. 

The headteacher Mr Applewhite said “we are particularly delighted that 66% of our students achieved a 

grade 4 or higher in the new more demanding science courses. Far more students took triple science this 

year and we are extremely pleased with their successes: 84% of students achieved 9-4 in biology, 83% in 

chemistry and an impressive 86% in physics. Both maths and English departments continue to perform 

highly with over 70% of results graded 4 or higher with English achieving 64% at 5 or above. 

We are also very pleased with our performance of our arts subjects, which are highly valuable to young 

people but under continued external national pressures under the current curriculum climate. Our drama 

department achieved an impressive 27% 9-8 grades with 40% achieving grades between 9 - 7”. 

There were some outstanding individual performances for example Jack Bunyan, Brijesh Patel, Will Rean 

and Samuel Bridge who all achieved 4 or more subjects graded 9 and at least 5 other subjects graded 7 or 

higher. In a truly remarkable performance and a special credit should go to Holly Letts who has 8 subjects 

which were graded 9 and 2 others graded 7 or higher. 

We are very proud of the results achieved by our students and look forward to welcoming many back into our 

sixth form in September.

WOULD YOU ADAM AND EvE IT 

"It’s a must-see: friendly, frenetic and so funny that the person 

next to me was crying with laughter throughout. Before anyone 

had even spoken, the show’s most distinctive element was 

already obvious: the props. A whole array of objects were set at 

the back of the stage, on a hat-stand and table, teasing the 

audience as to what might happen next – what could a toy 

plastic boat or a President’s portrait possibly be useful for? Every 

couple of minutes, the two actors would go to the back of the 

stage to take out their props for the next part of the sketch – 

before long, confusion was morphed into laughter. This motif 

gave a wonderful impression of spontaneity: it was slick enough 

to seem funny but not so polished as to seem blandly rehearsed. 

It gave plenty of scope for improvisation, made each joke as 

surprising as the last, and created an atmosphere of warm, 

genuine humour. The show’s welcoming feel was also helped by 

the way the actors sparked off one another, and included the 

audience in their daftness. At various points in the show, 

someone would be required to fill a role – often one which two 

male actors couldn’t quite do – and so someone would be 

plucked from the audience, handed their prop and told what to 

say. This kept the audience on their toes, and built upon the 

fantastic rapport between the two actors: one younger and 

energetic, full of witty asides, the other more mellowed and 

measured, keeping everything moving. Though there were only 

two of them, their enthusiasm easily filled the whole church. 

Remarkably, in amongst all the mayhem, we were given a clear 

and concise overview of the whole of Genesis and Exodus. The 

show was true to the Biblical narrative at every twist and turn, 

but also wallowed in the bizarre and brilliant details: look out for 

the introduction to Joseph and all his brothers, and re-enactment 

of Moses and the Burning Bush. Typically, an adaptation has to 

compromise on either accuracy or humour; in this case, however, 

the two were seamlessly and superbly combined"

SWF CC U15s vs BROOMFIELD CRICKET MATCH 

BROOMFIELD 74 ALL OUT, SWF 75 - 5 

The U15s returned to action for the final game of the season, 

away to Broomfield. Both teams fielding a number of players 

who had also played against each other the previous day for 

their respective adult teams. That game had been a defeat for 

SWF, so revenge was on the agenda. 

The Broomfield ground is a picturesque and compact arena but 

still managed to accommodate a crowd that looked to be several 

thousand strong with plenty unable to get in. Admission was 

again free and parking at a premium. 

Tom lost the toss (again), and Broomfield chose to bat in the late 

summer sunshine. Dan and Ben took the new ball and kept the 

Broomfield openers under control with some tight and accurate 

pace bowling, supported by excellent fielding. 

Ryan and Josh then came into the attack, and between them 

bowled a devasting spell of 6 overs in which they took 7 wickets 

for 21 runs (Ryan 4 for 16, Josh 3 for 5 !!), reducing Broomfield 

to 42 for 7 from 12 overs. 

Marcello, Adam, Luke and Nathan then bowled the remaining 8 

overs between them, with Adam, Luke and Nathan taking a 

wicket each. Marcello unlucky not to pick up a wicket despite 

some good balls. 

Alongside the superb bowling the fielding and catching from 

SWF was exceptional, with Dan and Ross taking 2 catches each, 

Nathan and Josh 1 each, and Tom 2 catches and 1 stumping. 

Every chance was taken and very few runs were given away in 

the field, well done everyone. 

Broomfield were bowled out in the 20th over for 74, the first 

time the U15s had bowled another team out in less than the full 

20 overs. 

With summer turning swiftly to winter during the break the 

temperature dropped several degrees, and the wind and the rain 

began howling through as SWF commenced their innings. Dan 

and Ben opened the innings and started steadily against some 

rapid bowling, with the ball increasingly skidding through low in 

the wet conditions. Then both openers fell in quick succession, 

caught out trying to lift the run rate. 

With the total at 28-2 Tom and Ross were together at the crease. 

Tom looked to accelerate the run-rate before he fell, and Ross 

looking to take advantage of a short ball fell to a catch in the 

outfield. William batted sensibly until he too was out, and SWF 

were 42-5 from 12 overs, and looking in danger of losing a game 

they should be winning. 

But Ryan and Nathan were now at the crease and the game was 

back under control, with Nathan in particularly scoring freely 

with Ryan in support. A flurry of 4s from Nathan tied the scores 

after 15 overs, and then the winning run took SWF to a first 

victory of the season. 

A fantastic team showing today, with everyone contributing, and 

a great way to sign off the Colts season. Special thanks to Tom 

and Amy for all their hard work, and to all those parents who 

have helped out. Now the winter break / football season and 

then we look forward to seeing the Colts again next year 

building on this season’s performances.

Secure Car Buyer Will Consider Buying Any Type of Vehicle..…. 

So Now Summer is Here It is A Good Time To Sell Your 

Unwanted Car To Us 

BATHROOMS & PLUMBING 

Do you need some extra summer holiday spending money? A good 

way of obtaining some extra funds would be to sell your unwanted 

vehicle. Perhaps you have a car cluttering your driveway outside, or 

you no longer drive, or perhaps your old car doesn't even start any 

more! Now is a very good time to organise the sale of your unwanted 

vehicle and turn that car into some much needed cash. There are 

many reasons why you may turn to a car buying website like us at: 

www.securecarbuyer.com . We are a local business and offer a safe, 

reliable and honest service to all of our customers. Using us is 

certainly a lot less hassle and a lot quicker as opposed to selling 

your vehicle privately. We can come to your doorstep, inspect your 

vehicle and make you a very good offer and even secure funds to 

your bank account before we leave. We price all vehicles individually 

and independently, and on their own merit- we do not rely upon 

unrealistic system generated quotations, you will get the best value 

for your vehicle. 

It is well worth remembering we can buy any non-runner or nonroadworthy 

vehicle as we can come directly to you. We can also 

buy your vehicle if you haven’t owned it long, if you have lost the log 

book or service history or are selling on behalf of someone. We will 

still buy vehicles with less than 6 months MOT or if it is a CAT C or 

D insurance write off. Other websites will not purchase your car if 

any of the aforementioned issues apply, remember we will consider 

any type of vehicle! With all the above in mind we will be pleased to 

hear from you. Please visit our website or give us a call to make a 

step in the right direction to sell your 

unwanted vehicle today.
