RELIEF CARE STRETCHES AND POSTURAL EXERCISES
201
Now down to business! The purpose of these 'Relief Phase'
exercises and stretches is to get your body ready and able to start
doing the all important 'Correction and Strengthening' exercises
needed to compliment your care through 'Stage 1' and on to
'Stage 2'.
'Stage 2' covers Supportive or Wellness Care and the main reason
we want to get you to this stage is to help prevent you from
regressing back to where you sought our care in the first place. This
is explained in the introductory video on the Front Page. Once you
are on our 'Stage 2' programme, should you get an occasional ache
or pain, you will be perfectly placed for us to get you up and running
without delay. If you are on our Platinum Care Programme this will
also be at no extra cost to your basic monthly payment.
As you can see I have broken the relief care exercises into a couple
of simple groups.
STRETCHES AND POSTURAL EXERCISES
Both of these should be done at least three times a day with the
exception of the wall exercise which can be done as many times a
day as you like. In fact the more the merrier!
So you can now get started and if you are currently seeing one of our
spinal health care practitioners and have any queries or problems
such as pain whilst doing an exercise then please give the Centre a
call and your practitioner will help you through any issues you may
have encountered. Remember, that if you do an exercise and it
causes pain, due to the mild nature of these exercises, then I would
suggest booking a consultation at your earliest convenience as there
is obviously a problem that needs addressing.
As explained, it is imperative that all Centre members who are
enrolled in the 'New Patient Healthcare Class' always attend the
class and thus gain the maximum benefit from care.
DIET IS KEY TO GOOD HEALTH
A couple of simple changes to your diet can really make a big
difference.
You should really be looking at the following changes.
Reduce:
Sugar, Caffeine, and if possible gluten, soya products and cow dairy.
Increase:
Water, pro biotics and whole food nutrition.

BEAVER SCOUTS ARE BUSY AT THE
NEW HEADQUARTERS
The Scout group have spent the last month settling back into our
new HQ. It’s been a very busy month, with all sections
embarking on their badge programme – with many different
activities including making use of the new kitchen facilities!
Recently the Beavers were thinking about Remembrance
Sunday. They had a themed activity evening with parent helpers
helping them to sew poppies, make bookmarks and create their
personal challenge targets for the coming term.
It has been great to welcome all our sections back into the new
HQ.
If you are interested in joining our Scout group, please take a

RINGING REMEMBERS
When the bells rang out on 11 November 1918 they announced
the end of the most catastrophic war the world had yet seen. At
that time, bells were at the heart of the community, marking
events of great significance and as a means of communication
long before modern technology connected us. At the end of the
war, many people heard about the Armistice through bell
ringing.
1,400 bell ringers hailing from across the UK died during the
First World War and to honour their memory 1,400 new bell
ringers have been recruited this year. These new ringers will
ring together across the country on 11 November 2018 as part
of the national commemorations to mark the centenary of the
Armistice.
Nine new ringers are learning in Danbury, and following a series
of 10 lessons, they will join the existing bell ringers to ring
Danbury bells on 11 November.
The bells of St. John the Baptist Church in Danbury will sound
out across the village three times that day; for the service of
Remembrance in the morning, at 12.30pm and again at
7.05pm.

FLO AND JOAN ALIVE ON STAGE AT THE CRAMPHORN STUDIO (5TH OCT 2018)
What a lovely evening!
If you haven’t heard of
this duo yet, it won’t be
long I’m sure before you
do. Flo and Joan (real
names Nicola and
Rosie) are a talented
pair of sisters, Flo is the
straight man in this act,
always deadpan which
makes the one liners so
funny and unexpected
when they come from
her. She plays the
piano, with Rosie who
has all the chat, adding
her own musical
contribution with a
shaker and triangle.
There is something
really endearing about
these siblings with their
dry sense of humour and gentle rivalry, coupled with the breakneck
speed of delivery of their clever lyrics and the pleasing harmony of
their voices.
Their show began with a song detailing who was welcome in the
audience and who wasn’t, it set the tone of the whole evening and
had everyone laughing straight away with the girls aiming their jokes
at various recognisable sections of the community (Daily Mail
readers and people who wear Crocs, to name a couple). Having got
the audience in the right frame of mind to appreciate their humour,
there swiftly followed a brilliant song about ‘Lady Crisps’, taking a
‘pop’ at sexism and a very funny, tongue in cheek, number about
‘Carol, the Queen of Cracker Packing’. The complex and diverse
songs that followed had the whole audience laughing – the girls had
us in the palms of their hands. There were too many excellent
numbers to remember them all and the evening was interspersed
with excerpts read from several nasty comments posted on their
social media pages by men. They gave their appropriate response
to these by way of song, one dedicated to the young daughters of
one of their more offensive correspondents, intended for when these
little girls grow up to be women – oh yes ladies, that revenge was
certainly sweet for you and we loved it.
The whole act was peppered here and there with four lettered words,
none of which seemed to cause offence to the audience as actually
they were always used to add comedy value, not just as a cheap
way of making the audience laugh. It was hilarious to hear these
expletives dropped into the lyrics from the lips of such unassuming,
delightful ladies. Their material is young and fresh, clever and without
malice and bang up to date. The songs about sex robots and divorce
statistics were a stark contrast to the ones about the plight of the
bumblebee and their letter to themselves as children - ‘Dear Little
Flo and Little Joan’, which made a heart-warming finale. The show
stopper of the evening however just had to be the frenetic and
hilarious ‘Lady in the Woods’, sung as an Old English folk song,
unaccompanied and with just Rosie slapping out the rhythm on her
knee – priceless, it brought the house down.
This act has echoes of Victoria Wood and the Two Ronnies, this time
more edgy and modern but with that same appeal. I hope they go
from strength to strength because I most certainly would like to see
them again and I urge you to take a look at their website and take in
their show if the opportunity presents itself. They are refreshing,
they are young, watch out for them in the future.

ROTARY AND INNER WHEEL CLUBS CONTRIBUTE TO MENCAP
Members of the Rotary Club and Inner Wheel clubs met at a joint
meeting to hear of the work of MENCAP by Marc Mcowens of the
branch in Southend, who gave presentation to the members of the
two clubs.
Southend Mencap is a registered charity, charity number 1078686,
and was formed in October 1955. The charity’s main aim is to serve
the interests and needs of children and adults with learning
disabilities, as well as those of their parents and carers, in the south
east of Essex.
Our two clubs decided to donate to the work that the Southend
branch was doing and the provisions that were made for the Children
and adults with learning disabilities. Many of the activiites are listed
below but more information is available on their website.
The photograph show the donation by cheque by President of Rotary
Terry Tilbrook on the left, Marc in the centre and Inner Wheel
Secretary Celia Ebrahimi.
An Independent Society
Southend Mencap is able to use the name Mencap by being
affiliated to national Mencap but that is where the link to them ends.
We are a completely independent society/organisation, are self
governed and self financed. We need to seek our own funding and
arrange all services and activities for the learning disabled ourselves.
There is no referral system to Mencap and they do not provide us or
any of the other local Mencap society’s with any income or funding.
Any funding raised by Mencap never gets passed down to the local
societys.
Service provision for people with learning disabilities
There are numerous projects, clubs and groups that are currently
running and these offer a wide variety to both children and adults
with learning disabilities. Our current service provision consists of:
• Advocacy Service – a full time advocate is available to help support
the needs of the learning disabled to ensure their voice is heard
when dealing with everyday issues.
• Family Support Worker – a part time family support worker who
provides information and support to the families of the learning
disabled e.g. accessing services, benefits information.
• Transitional Advocate – a part time advocate delivering the ‘Your
Choice’ workshops to children with learning disabilities in several
of the local special needs schools.
• Music Man – daily music provision for people with learning
disabilities as well as providing teaching resource and training to
other organisations looking to set up their own music service.
• Showstoppers – daily drama and theatre performance provision
for adults with learning disabilities.
• SMASH – a weekly sports club for adults with learning disabilities.
• TopCats Club – a weekly social activities club on Canvey Island for
adults with learning disabilities.
• Music School – separate weekly music schools for children and
adults with learning disabilities.
• M.O.D.S – a weekly drama group for adults with learning
disabilities.
• Family Play & Respite – a weekly sports and social club for
children with learning disabilities aged between 5 and 16 years,
plus places for any of their non disabled siblings too.
• 16+ Club – a weekly social club for young people with learning
disabilities aged 16 to 25.
• Friendship Group – a weekly social drop-in club for adults with
learning disabilities.
• Compatibles – friendship/relationship opportunities service for
adults with learning disabilities.
• TFC Mencap – in partnership with Trinity Family Centre, twice
weekly morning activity sessions for adults with learning
disabilities.
In addition to the list of projects and activities, we also run several
other events across a calendar year in an attempt to provide as
much variety as possible for people with learning disabilities.

The Bakers Arms
Danbury
The Bakers Arms, "Danbury's community pub," has over the years not only been somewhere go to enjoy a pint but is also a great
place for family get togethers.
Many customers who frequent The Bakers Arms have also found it to be a perfect venue for groups such as ramblers, society meetings
and also larger functions such as Anniversaries, Christenings and Funerals. Each event is tailor-made to suit all requirements and
because the Bakers Arms is a family run concern they are not governed by fixed menus or big company targets therefore provide
flexibility to suit all tastes and budgets on a sensitive and personal level.
Everyone who uses The Bakers Arms knows the famous fish & chips eat in and take away are still very much at the top of the menu
which has now been established for many years. Also available is create your own pizza menu, a specials board with a variety of
alternative options and a lunch time lighter menu which includes sharing platters. Food is now being served all day every day and
Sunday lunches are now being served up to 16.30 which includes all the above plus a traditional Sunday Roast.
The Bakers Arms has also listened to their customers requesting more choice for non alcoholic hot drinks and now offer a very large
selection of different flavoured teas and coffees to suit all tastes.
The Bakers Arms is a traditional community pub with a friendly atmosphere, anyone visiting can enjoy the restaurant area which is
light and modern or the traditional side that is home to a welcoming log burner in colder months, daily news and plenty of good
humour. This side also welcomes dog walkers and their companions. It is simply requested that everyone remains courteous to other
customers (dogs are not permitted in the restaurant/seating area). There are also resident dogs that provide plenty of entertainment
too but should they offend in anyway simply ask a member of staff who will take them in as anyone who's seen them knows they are
not all the smallest dogs around!
Ian & Cayley at the Bakers Arms would like to take this opportunity to once again say a big thank you to all the customers and staff
for help and support though the year. Especially this year with their youngest hound who is rather mischievous and of course their
baby girl who is coming up for a year old, This all adds to the great family atmosphere, (also known as organised chaos!)
It is recognised & appreciated that it is a combination of all of the above that makes a great local pub that is enjoyed by many and is
a lovely place to work and live, Thank You!
And Finally...
A massive thank you and lots and lots of hugs and kisses for
Rebecca for being such a good girl, the perfect daughter and
so wonderfully helpful with her little sister Aspen.
Another big thank you to Matt and Rebecca for getting the
much wanted and now loved "Froggy".
Good luck to Prat Nav (AKA Tasmin) in her new Job. She will
certainly be a very much missed member of staff who is very
much appreciated and loved to bits.
Steve can officially add "cake" to “coleslaw" (obviously not
literately) and he is now our brand new excuse for weight gain.
Sooooo good !!!
Catherine has now moved on from prosecco, well sort of, and

TAkING YOUR PET ABROAD IF THERE’S NO BREXIT DEAL
The information below has been copied from Gov.uk for those pet owners who
travel to mainland Europe with their pets.
“It’s the Government’s duty to prepare for all eventualities, including ‘no deal’,
until they can be certain of the outcome of the negotiations.
It has always been the case that as we get nearer to March 2019, preparations
for a no deal scenario would have to be accelerated. Such an acceleration
does not reflect an increased likelihood of a ‘no deal’ outcome. Rather it is
about ensuring the Government’s plans are in place in the unlikely scenario
that they need to be relied upon.
Purpose
This notice sets out how the arrangements that allow pet owners to travel to
and from the EU with pets (cats, dogs and ferrets) would change if the UK
leaves the EU in March 2019 without a deal. It explains what pet owners would
need to do to prepare their pets for travel, and what Official Veterinarians (OVs)
would need to do to ensure UK pet owners travelling with their pets continue
to meet the requirements of the EU pet travel scheme.
Before 29 March 2019
Under the EU Pet Travel Scheme, owners of dogs, cats and ferrets can travel
with their animals to and from EU countries provided they hold a valid EU pet
passport.
Before a pet can travel from the UK to an EU country for the first time, it must
be taken to an Official Veterinarian (OV) at least 21 days before travel. The OV
will ensure the animal has a microchip and rabies vaccination, before issuing
an EU pet passport, which remains valid for travel for the pet’s lifetime or until
all of the treatment spaces are filled.
On its return to the UK, the pet has its microchip scanned (to confirm its
identity) and passport checked (to ensure it corresponds with the microchip
and treatment requirements are met). Dogs returning to the UK from countries
that are not free from Echinococcus multilocularis (a type of tapeworm) must
have an approved tapeworm treatment administered by a vet between one
and five days before entering the UK.
After March 2019 if there’s no deal
If the UK leaves the EU in March 2019 with no deal, it would become a third
country for the purposes of the EU Pet Travel Scheme.
Pets would continue to be able to travel from the UK to the EU, but the
requirements for documents and health checks would differ depending on what
category of third country the UK becomes on the day we leave the EU. Within
the Pet Travel Scheme, there are three categorisations of ‘third country’, linked
to a country’s animal health status: ‘listed: Part 1’, ‘listed: Part 2’, or ‘unlisted’.
Third countries apply to the European Commission to be listed under Part 1 or
Part 2 of Annex II to EU Pet Travel Regulations. A small number of countries
and territories are Part 1 listed, which means they operate under the same EU
Pet Travel Scheme rules as EU member states. The majority of countries are
Part 2 listed, which means additional conditions, such as the use of temporary
health certificates. If a country has not applied or been accepted as a Part 1
or Part 2 listed country, it is an unlisted third country, and owners must take
some specific actions several months before they wish to travel.
We are seeking technical discussions with the European Commission to allow
the UK to become a listed third country on the day we leave the EU. We will
continue to press the Commission to discuss this option with us. However, to
allow effective contingency planning, this notice explains the impacts of all
three different types of third country status in terms of the EU Pet Travel
Scheme.
If the UK is a listed third country
Should the UK become a Part 1 listed country, there would be little change to
the current pet travel arrangements, with only minor changes needed to
documentation for travel between the UK and EU and no change for pet
owners from what they currently need to do in terms of health preparations.
Should the UK become a Part 2 listed country, there would be some new
requirements, but they would not be as burdensome as those for unlisted
status. There would be no requirement for a blood titre test, which would
remove the three month waiting period before travel, although pet owners
would still need to ensure rabies vaccinations were kept up to date. Before a
pet could travel from the UK to an EU country for the first time, it would still
need to be taken to an Official Veterinarian (OV) at least 21 days in advance.
The OV would ensure the animal has a microchip and rabies vaccination.
Pet owners would still need an OV to issue a health certificate confirming the
pet was appropriately identified and vaccinated against rabies, as in an
unlisted no deal scenario. This document would differ from the current EU pet
passport. It would be valid for ten days after the date of issue for entry into the
EU, and for four months of onward travel within the EU. Health certificates
would have to be issued for each trip to the EU.
On arrival in the EU, pet owners travelling with their pet would still be required
to report to a Travellers’ Point of Entry as set out above.
If the UK is an unlisted third country
Should the UK become an unlisted third country, pet owners intending to travel
with their pet from the UK to EU countries would need to discuss preparations
for their pet’s travel with an Official Veterinarian (OV) at least four months in
advance of the date they wish to travel. This means pet owners intending to
travel to the EU on 30 March 2019 would need to discuss requirements with
their vet before the end of November 2018.
Rabies vaccinations
Pet owners would need to prove animals are effectively vaccinated against
rabies before they could travel with their pet to EU countries. This would
require a blood titre test to demonstrate sufficient levels of rabies antibody,
which would need to be carried out a minimum of 30 days after any initial
rabies vaccination.
• Pets that have previously had a blood titre test, and whose rabies
vaccinations are up to date, would not be required to repeat the blood test
before travel.
• Pets that have not previously had a blood titre test, but whose rabies
vaccinations are up to date, would be required to have the blood test carried
out prior to travel. If the result shows sufficient levels of antibody, a three-month
waiting period before travel would still be required from the date the blood was
drawn to ensure no rabies symptoms develop. If the result shows insufficient
levels of antibody the pet will be treated as if the rabies vaccination were not
up to date as described below.
• Pets that have not previously had a blood titre test, and have never had a
rabies vaccination, or the vaccination is not up to date, would be required to
have a rabies vaccination before the blood titre test. There must then be a 30
day waiting period before the blood sample is drawn for the titre test, to allow
time for sufficient rabies antibodies to develop. Once a blood titre test shows
sufficient levels of antibody, there must be a three-month waiting period
between the date the blood is drawn and the date of travel.
In both the second and third cases, pet owners would need to visit their vet to
discuss health preparations at least four months before they intend to travel
with their pet.
The lifespan of the vaccination will depend on the brand of vaccination used.
The majority last for around 3 years. Provided a pet’s rabies vaccinations are
kept up to date once a test has shown a satisfactory blood titre, the blood test
does not need to be taken again.
Pet owners travelling from the EU to the UK would need to ensure their pets
had a satisfactory rabies antibody blood titre test to re-enter the EU. This would
need to be administered prior to leaving the EU but there is no requirement for
a three month wait period before travel.
Health certificates to travel to the EU
Once the rabies vaccination and (if required) blood titre test shows sufficient
levels of antibody, pets would need to be taken back to an OV, who would then
issue a health certificate confirming the pet was appropriately identified and
vaccinated against rabies. This document would be different from the current
EU pet passport. It would be valid for ten days after the date of issue for entry
into the EU, and for four months of onward travel within the EU.
Health certificates would have to be issued for each trip to the EU. For repeat
journeys, where proof of vaccination history and a satisfactory blood titre test
were available, the pet owner would only have to visit an OV and obtain a new
health certificate at some point within ten days before travel.
Arriving in the EU
On arrival in the EU, pet owners travelling with their pets would be required to
report to a designated Travellers’ Point of Entry (TPE). At the TPE, the pet
owner would be asked to present proof of microchip, vaccination and the blood
test result alongside their pet’s health certificate.
Further information
More information on the documents that would be required to enter or re-enter
the UK if the UK leaves the EU without a deal will be made available for pet
owners and their vets in due course. The documents required to enter or reenter

Little Baddow Parish Council
The lengthy meeting of the Council on 4th October covered a vast
range of matters of village life with both new councillors already
playing a very active role. One is determined to make the
speedwatch active again and is looking for volunteers. Also more
speed posters will be available to stick on bins around the village.
The item about road pot-hole repair made it clear that it was essential
for Essex Highways to be informed on line before action was taken
and a photo including a comparative object was helpful.
During the item on development it was stated that anyone having an
objection to a planning matter should now give the Parish Council a
copy of the statement sent to Chelmsford City Planners as otherwise
the Parish Council will not know as it is not now published. There
was no objection to large trees on The Ridge having their crowns
raised as the branches had clashed with the school bus. The new
community bus service was mentioned which is linked to Arrow Taxis
and is proving very efficient. One of the new councillors will monitor
the use so that figures will be available when the next consultation
on transport occurs early in 2020.
HEATHCOTE SCHOOL HARVEST
DONATIONS TO MALDON FOOD PANTRY
The children of Heathcote School recently celebrated Harvest with
a special school assembly and brought in donations for the local
Food Pantry at Elim Church, Maldon. Revd. Rob Sefton was
delighted with the donations of cans, jars and other items and
thanked the parents and children for the boxes and shopping bags
full of donations. The children also helped load the donations into
the car.
The Parish Paths Partnership Scheme will be investigated as it
provides training and a grant to renew way posts. It is hoped to
combine this with another grant to pay for a committed handyman.
The sound system loop in the Memorial Hall will be mended soon
and a new machine purchased which will be linked in. Meanwhile
there will be a large clearance of items under the stage and then
reorganisation of a secure system for items which must be stored.
The Council continues to pursue the problem of the hazardous
parking at Paper Mill Lock when the café car park is full and also
problems of the safety of users of ice cream vans on the bridge. The
flood warning signs are now at Spring Close junction and
Hammonds Lane and should operate automatically but this hasn’t
been proved! Council agreed to pay the final £300 of the £4,744
needed for Chelmsford Museum to purchase and display the gold
diadem found recently in a local field.
Details of items in this independent report can be obtained from the
Council. GH.

AUTUMN, A TIME TO LET GO
two Organs which correspond to Metal, the Lung and the Colon.
The primary function of the Colon is to let go of things that are
no longer needed, things that would be harmful if held on to.
The Lung has the function of taking in life-giving essential Qi
from the air, connecting us to the Qi of Heaven, to the more
spiritual aspects of life; the Lung is associated with new
beginnings and fresh starts. Both of these Organs need to be
functioning well and in balance with one another in order for us
to be able to grieve properly, enabling us to let go and
encouraging us to see new beginnings. If you stay in a state of
grief for a very long time it can start to affect physical health,
causing trouble with breathing or chest health, or trouble with
digestion and bowel health.
Chinese acupuncture is a truly holistic system and takes the
whole person into consideration, the physical health, emotional
health and the relationship they have with the environment that
they live in. Seasonal energy can have a subtle but noticeable
effect on our overall health and wellbeing. The seasonal energy
of the Autumn is Metal, the beginning of the yin phase of the
year. This is a time of release and contraction, a time to let go of
things that no longer serve us, a time to conserve and nurture
the important things. This is reflected in nature, trees change
their behaviour through the Autumn as an essential part of
preparing for Winter, which in turn puts them in the best
possible position to produce a strong response to the vitality of
Spring. The underlying Metallic energy of the season can bring
on a sense of unresolved grief; if this is the case, it is a great time
of year to seek out help from an acupuncturist.
Grief is something that we all feel at some point in our lives,
whether it is through the loss of a parent, a significant other, a
pet or anything that generates a long-lasting sense of despair
and overwhelm. Many of us will experience several episodes of
grief; each one can linger in the system, making subsequent
events more difficult to cope with. While not an easy process,
grief is an important part of our emotional landscape and not in
itself something to be frightened of. The processing grief has
two aspects, ‘letting go’ and ‘new beginnings’. I use the term
‘letting go’ in the sense of allowing yourself to feel your sadness,
not trying to bottle it up, not trying to ignore it, but also in the
sense of eventually being able to ‘let go’ of some of the pain you
have suffered on account of the loss. With regard to ‘new
beginnings’, Chinese medicine theories are based on cycles of
energy; as one thing ends, another will begin. Letting go of the
pain and the sadness means you can start enjoying treasured
memories without being overwhelmed by the pain of loss. This
signals the growth of a new relationship, a relationship forming
across time and space, one that can support you and sustain you
through the years.
Modern life rushes past at breakneck speed, and with that comes
pressure to ‘deal with’ grief quickly and efficiently, but properly
processing grief takes many months. After a significant loss, grief
is both an expected and necessary response; gentle, nourishing
acupuncture can help support someone through this difficult
time. Grief is not considered a pathological emotion for the first
year as we slowly adjust to the change in our circumstances
through the seasons. If a year has passed and you are still locked
tightly in the clutches of grief, you could benefit from some
acupuncture to help shift things. Autumn is a time of year when
such a treatment can be especially effective as we are able to use
seasonal energy to enhance the effects of the treatment.
A strong, balanced Metal energy is vitally important for the
processing of grief; this is best explained with reference to the
If you are feeling overwhelmed by grief, it is a process that can
be supported really well with a little bit of acupuncture – and
now is the best time to take that step.

‘WE WILL REMEMBER THEM’ AT CHELMSFORD MUSEUM
On Sunday 11 November
it will be 100 years since
the end of the First World
War. In the run-up to this
landmark date
Chelmsford Museum will
be hosting a very special
exhibition, ‘We Will
Remember Them',
running from Saturday
29 September to Sunday
11 November.
For the last few months
school children from
Springfield Primary
School have been
working with Chelmsford
Museum and the Golden
Oldies Charitable Trust
to create an exhibition
that will explore
Chelmsford's links with
those who fought for and gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country,
and ‘We Will Remember Them' is the result.
Nick Wickenden, Senior Curatorial Consultant, Chelmsford Museum
said: " The children from the school have come into the museum to
look at some of the First World War artefacts that we hold, for
inspiration. During the exhibition we will be displaying several of
these items for the public to see". Nick continued: "Many men from
the Chelmsford area gave their lives during the First World War and
we hope that their descendants will be able to come to the museum
to see the exhibition".
Jacquelyn Pick, Headteacher at Springfield Primary School, said: "It
is vitally important that children of today understand the impact that
was made by those who
served 100 years ago.
Included in our project
has been the learning of
popular WW1 songs
which we will be
performing at the
exhibition opening. The
children's English and art
work this term has been
based on WW1 and they
have thoroughly enjoyed
finding out about the
uniforms, an individual
Essex Regiment soldier,
the role of women in the
war and lots more
beside".
The exhibition will focus
in on several individuals
from the Essex Regiment
(with help from
volunteers from the Western Front Association), and will feature
information from a lottery-funded exhibition put on by Lowewood
Museum in Hoddesdon, which researched a WW1 medic, Stephen
Warner. Also on display will be the poignant effects of two young
privates, Harry Carter and William Marmon, whose bodies were
only discovered in the Somme a few years ago and identified
through DNA testing.
Entry to ‘We Will Remember Them' is free and the museum is open
Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm, (closed Fridays in term-time),
Saturdays 10am to 5pm, and Sundays 1pm to 4pm.

BING CROSBY’S GRANDSON HEADS TO CHELMSFORD’S CIVIC THEATRE
FOR ONE-OFF Uk SHOW
Phil Crosby Jr, the
grandson of legendary
entertainer, Bing Crosby,
will be jetting in from
America and touching
down in Chelmsford for a
very special one-off UK
show at The Civic
Theatre on Friday 16
November.
Phil is a Los Angeles based crooner and musician who has
performed at top venues all over the world. Now Phil is making a
rare visit to the UK to perform just one UK show that will celebrate
and honor his grandfather, and many other classic crooners from the
golden age.
As the grandson of Bing Crosby, Phil grew up surrounded by
Hollywood royalty, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davies Jr,
Andy Williams and many more. Phil started his entertainment career
at the age of eight, starring in television shows and commercials,
and had formed a blues/rock band in his teenage years. However,
the pull of the Crosby genes was strong, and Phil soon began
performing songs from the great American songbook and early 20th
century jazz.
Ian Knowles, Theatre Manager, Chelmsford's Civic Theatre, says:
"Phil has made a name for himself as a stand out entertainer who is
continuing the legacy of American music and culture, for a new
generation of fans. In fact, Phil's passion is to share his wonderful
insight to this very special era of American music with younger
people and with those who already appreciate this great American
musical movement.
"It's a real coup to bring such a talented and internationally regarded
artiste to Chelmsford's Civic Theatre and we look forward to
welcoming him to our stage."
Phil Crosby Jr has been hailed "as lush as his impressive lineage
suggests" by the Hollywood FM Bugle, ‘A vital link to the heyday of
Hollywood" by the LA Times, and "A chip off the old crooner" by Daily
News LA Life. This UK exclusive concert is a fabulous opportunity to
hear, and come face to face with the direct lineage from one of
Hollywood's leading entertainers, as he performs songs made famous
by Sammy Davies Jr, Cole Porter, Perry Como and of course Bing!

CAMPAIGN TO TACkLE MENACE
OF FLY-TIPPING IN ESSEX
3. Check where your waste is going
Being a registered waste carrier means the person can legally
remove your rubbish, but you still need to check what is going to
happen to it.
A legitimate waste carrier should not object to you asking these
questions.
4. Protect yourself by taking care with your waste
Make a note of who you have given your waste to, their waste carrier
details and vehicle details.
On Monday 8 October, Love Essex, a partnership of Essex councils
and businesses, is re-launching its #CrimeNotToCare campaign to
remind residents they could be adding to the fly-tipping problem, if
they don’t comply with their duty of care to keep their waste out of the
hands of rogue traders.
By carrying out the correct checks before handing your waste
(anything from a sofa, black bags, mattresses, fridge freezers or
building waste) to someone else to get rid of, will reduce the chance
of it being fly-tipped.
Councillor Malcolm Sismey, Cabinet Member for Waste
Management and Recycling at Chelmsford City Council said:
“Fly-tipping across Essex is costing taxpayers’ money to clear up –
money that could have been better spent on vital services. Flytipping
is a selfish way to dispose of waste, blighting our environment
and we want to remind residents who are having a house clearance
to check that they are using a legitimate company who is disposing
of their waste correctly.
If you give your waste to someone else and it’s dumped, you could
end up with an unlimited fine and a criminal record.”
During the course of 2017-18, a total number of 20,567 fly-tips were
scattered across the county. In Chelmsford alone, there were 902
fly-tips reported.
Over the past year, residents have been prosecuted because flytipped
waste has been traced back to them.
Last month, one man in Loughton was fined £1560 in prosecution
costs and fines after pleading guilty to failing his household waste
duty of care at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court.
You should never leave any waste such as an old washing machine
or scrap metal on your drive or in the street for someone to remove.
They may not be a registered waste carrier, and could take the bits
they need and dump the rest.
You can donate good quality items to your local reuse organisation
or charity shop, or give items to someone who could make use of
them.
Protect yourself and help keep our county clean and green. Love
Essex – it’s a Crime not to care!
Visit loveessex.org for further advice
There are some easy checks you can carry out to ensure you protect
yourself and the environment:
1. If you use a trader to remove your waste ask to see their Waste
Carriers Registration Number issued by the Environment Agency
Ask for their waste carrier number and vehicle details and contact the
Environment Agency for a free instant waste carrier check.
2. Ensure that you receive a transfer notice or receipt before your
waste is taken away

kEEP AN EYE ON INTEREST RATES
than most advisers, around 20% for an investor with a reasonable
attitude to investment risk; i.e. not high risk or low risk but
somewhere in the middle, reasonable.
Written by Steve Dodge Dip PFS
from the
Independent Financial Advice Centre
You may have heard the expression “Physician Heal Thyself”, it
applied to me recently.
It’s understandable that after a day’s work many people when they
get home just want to relax and not do more of what they have been
doing all day!
Well I can assure you it’s the same for me; when I get home sorting
out my finances is the last thing I want to do! However, a couple of
events lately have spurred me into action.
Understandably people are concerned about the financial effects of
Brexit. Will the market tumble, collapse, is it Armageddon or will the
market go up! The reality is no-one knows. In the short term there
could be quite of bit of volatility; markets going up and down.
Over the last thirty years such a balance has proved a good hedge
against markets falling for whatever reason so our clients have
enough funds to see them through to better times. Our portfolios are
also spread globally so some investments will not be affected in any
event.
That said, for clients who are still concerned we have been slightly
increasing the amount of cash they hold, but this raises the question
where to put it? I have thus found myself looking closely at the best
deposit accounts and Premium Bonds.
In the thick of this research my tax return demanded completion and,
when gathering the information needed to complete it, it was clear
my deposit accounts were out of date earning less than a quarter of
one percent a year, £25 on £10,000 - I had to look after myself!
The moral of this tale is not to neglect your cash savings. Money is
the laziest thing you own; it will not look after itself and will not tell you
that there are much better accounts elsewhere. A few minutes
regularly checking that you have the best accounts for your
needs could produce fantastic results for you, your IFA will help if
you need it.
In my case I am now receiving six, yes six, times more interest on my
cash with immediate access and it only took ten minutes to change
accounts, I will look after myself much better in future!
For our Investment clients we tend to maintain a higher cash balance

LITTLE BADDOW WI REPORT FOR OCTOBER 2018
At our October 4th meeting we were thoroughly entertained by John Stirling and ably assisted by his lovely wife.
His talk was entitled “From Toy Town to Buckingham Palace”. John was practically born on stage, and has spent
his life in theatre, he played Noddy on stage and then went on to appear in television. Hew was a child star in
Dixon of Dock Green, but soon realised as he grew up, he would rather be working behind the scenes. He
produced and directed shows for the likes of Morecambe and Wise and lots more!
He and his wife now spends their lives rescuing Donkeys and working with Special needs children, the two going
hand-in-hand. They have run this for over 25 years now with the help of Dame Judi Dench. This work has drawn
lots of attention, even giving him a private audience with the Queen. One of the most interesting and entertaining
and funny speakers we have had for years and can highly recommend him.
And looking forward to our November 1st meeting, where we will hear from Seona Ford, Chair of the DLS Society, the Life and works of
the Fascinating Dorothy L Sayers. Dorothy was born in Oxford, bought a house for her mum in Witham, where she became a resident herself
for the last 28 years of her life. A renowned crime writer of books and plays, Dorothy also penned poetry. A Christian Humanist, she
concentrated the later years of her life Religious themes; translations and essays.
Our December meeting will be our Christmas Lunch (ticket only) event at Channels.
We hold our meetings on the first Thursday of the month, at the Memorial Hall Little Baddow from 2pm till 4.30pm We are a very friendly
group of all ages with a great committee to keep our WI full of fun and diversity, Coach trips to and Art & craft days, also a
Knit/crochet/sew/craft subgroup where you can help us with our latest charity project or just chat and do your own thing on the second
Thursday of the month.

Friends of St. Mary’s Church Woodham Ferrers (FOSM)
are delighted to announce a concert by The David
Pickthall Big Band on Sunday July 14th 2019 at 3p.m.
David Pickthall MBE and his Big Band only usually meet
up to perform four concerts for charity a year but have
very kindly agreed to make St. Mary’s an exception! Their
repertoire is drawn from the classic swing sounds of the
1930’s right through to contemporary ballads and film
themes. The full band with strings and vocalists coupled
with church acoustics makes for an incredible musical
experience. For more details and to hear some of their
recordings you can visit www.davidpickthall.co.uk
Friends of St. Mary’s decided to opt for an afternoon
concert to maximise accessibility. Tickets will be available
from January 2019.
They will be on sale at the church on Tuesday mornings
from 10 a.m. -12 noon or by calling Sharon on 07773
644326 . Tickets cost £11 Under 12’s and FOSM
members pay £5 and this price includes homemade
interval refreshments. All proceeds will go towards the
restoration of the Bell Tower. This promises to be an
exceptional occasion – we hope to see you there.

So here we are once again, the year is nearly through and we are
fast approaching Christmas. Before you know it the shops will be
heaving with people spending, spending, spending and looking for
those Christmas gifts for family and friends! As your local car buying
service, based in Rettendon, we could help you secure some extra
funds for Christmas and sell your unwanted vehicle quickly with no
advert and valet costs, no dealing with people who say they are
coming to buy your car but leave empty-handed. Also remember
the colder months are still approaching, why not sell your car to us
before the car battery gives up and engine problems start to occur.
We buy all types of vehicles, whether it be old, new, in good condition
or not, running or not, we can always help. We really do consider
anything and will come back to you with an honest realistic valuation
that has been looked at by a person (not a computer like all other
well known websites do!).
If you have an unwanted vehicle on your driveway or tucked up in
your garage, November is still the perfect time sell it to us, using our
services is a really fast way to secure some extra cash and get your
driveway and garages clear for those Christmas guests and visitors!
Please visit our website: www.SecureCarBuyer.com and enter your
registration details or call us on 01245 475100 - we would love the
opportunity to help you sell your vehicle quickly and securely, you
have nothing to lose.

Director, Secure Car Buyer
