So what does this mean for you? 

Your usual collection service continues 

but your day may change 


Chelmsford is growing and new homes are being added all the 

time. To make sure our waste and recycling collection rounds are as 

efficient and reliable as possible, the City Council has changed some 

of its routes. These changes will make your collections greener and 

better value for public money. 

This is your new 2019-2020 collection calendar. It replaces your 

current collection calendar - please recycle the old one.

The Affair 

Friday 11 October 2019 7.30pm 

A hilarious and thoroughly uplifting new play about relationships, 

which has all the ingredients of a great comedy... clown, bouffon, 

vaudeville and slapstick! With a sprinkle of drama and a splash of 

tragedy, this cake... I mean pizza, is ready to eat. 

The Affair is a wonderfully funny play... a laugh a minute, simply, 

unmissable! 

Our casanova, Gustavo, is getting ready to ask a very important 

question, but not before he has checked everything on his ‘to do’ list. 

After Daffadowndilly’s arrival, what is supposed to be a romantic 

evening soon starts to spiral out of control; following a knock on the 

door all reason turns to mayhem, and we are faced with a scenario 

that leaves all three characters grappling for sanity. 

The Affair is a timeless comedy that depicts the highs and lows of 

relationships in a very funny way. With each character bringing a 

different light to the story, there is plenty for the audience to relate to 

and be amused by. 

Tickets: £14.00. PREMIUM seats £2.00 extra 

Venue: Cramphorn Studio 

In and Out of Chekhov's Shorts 

Friday 18 October 2019 1.00pm 

Chekhov is one of the great writers of the 20th Century and these 

tales, newly adapted and directed by Eliot Giuralarocca, remain as 

memorable and bracing as jumping into a cold plunge pool after a hot 

sauna! 

Performed by a company of five and featuring original live music and 

stylish ensemble story-telling, In and Out of Chekhov’s Shorts is an 

exhilarating, fun and accessible romp through some of the best of 

Chekhov’s short stories including The Lady with the Little Dog, The 

Chemist’s Wife, At a Summer Villa, An Avenger and The Bear. 

These wonderful hymns to the absurdity of everyday life, are by turns 

hilarious, romantic, poignant, odd and memorable. They hold the 

mirror up to the half-comic, half-painful experience of love and 

relationships and create a world in which the tender and the 

grotesque are inextricably linked. Ludicrous situations and larger than 

life characters abound in an afternoon that simply cannot be missed! 

Tickets: £10.50 

Concession: £8.00 

PREMIUM seats £2.00 extra 

Venue: Cramphorn Studio 

We are a small friendly club BUT would love to grow

HARVEST TIME AGAIN! 

Students have resumed their education as Autumn has 

arrived once more, nature making us well aware of the 

change of season! We are fortunate in our land that we have 

plenty in our shops to purchase for our needs; we are 

moved by the devastation of so many places overseas and 

the helplessness of so many people in those situations. 

We may not be able to help them in a practical way, but we 

can do something about the need in our own land. 

Harvest is such a time when we can think of others, even if 

we cannot assist at any other time of year by donating tins 

and packages of food for those who live around us. 

The Salvation Army in South Woodham Ferrers is holding a 

Harvest Festival Service on Tuesday 1 October at 2pm in 

the Evangelical Church (Hullbridge Rd.) to which you are 

invited. Members attending will be bringing items of 

grocery for the "Gateway" Foodbank run by the local 

churches at The Salvation Army Wickford community 

centre, and if anyone would like to contribute to this, we 

shall be most appreciative, as there is a constant demand 

for help. Of course, the local South Woodham Food bank is 

always grateful for items too, it is an all year round demand. 

(Clements Green Lane, New Life Church) 

Also, at our service, Major Brian Miller, who is part of the 

team that actually delivers the "Joy in a Box" gifts to the 

children in Romania, will be receiving items and giving an 

update on his visits, as he prepares for this year's delivery. 

The service usually lasts for an hour, which enables those 

needing to leave for school children, not to worry too much 

about the time. We are so thankful for what we do have and 

try to alleviate the distress of others if we can. Join us if you 

are free that day. God bless you all - and thank you.

This year we are again supporting the Gees Foundation, a 

registered charity, which has a shop on Warwick Parade 

selling donated goods at very reasonable prices. Over half 

of all the income generated is donated to good causes or 

groups within the geographical boundary of South 

Woodham Ferrers. The balance is used by the trustees to 

help young people enter sustainable farming, sustainable 

fishing and water management. 

Last year the Festival raised £1,500 in support of their good 

works.

Breast cancer support group 

moves to Broomfield Hospital 

A support group for women who have experienced breast cancer 

is moving to Broomfield Hospital. 

The monthly group was previously based at the Helen Rollason 

Centre in Springfield but will now meet at its new permanent home 

at the hospital’s Breast unit (A104). 

The next meeting will be on 

Wednesday 18 September from 

7.30 - 8.30pm. The group will be 

joined by Julie Blanche of The 

Bra Consultancy who helps 

women who have undergone 

surgery find underwear that suits 

them. 

Subsequent meetings will be 

held every third Wednesday of 

the month. 

Heidi Barclay, clinical nurse 

specialist in breast care, wants to 

encourage as many women as 

possible to attend. 

“The group is for women who 

have either recently been 

diagnosed, are undergoing 

treatment or have finished 

treatment for a breast cancer. 

“Women that come to the 

support group can talk to people 

who know what it feels like to be 

told they have a cancer, who 

understand the anxieties that 

come with that, who have been 

through treatment and can give 

advice or reassurance on how to 

cope with those treatments. It’s 

peer-to-peer support.” 

The group is open to all, not just 

Broomfield patients, and there 

will be breast care nurses in 

attendance to answer questions 

and make tea and coffee. 

Heidi added: “Women are asked 

not to bring friends or relatives 

with them as we want them to 

be able to speak honestly about 

how they feel without worrying 

about their loved ones being 

upset about what’s discussed. 

TONGUE TWISTERS

But the thought I thought wasn’t the thought I thought I

PARKINSON'S - A POSSIBLE ADVANCE. Science Daily reports that 

" A drug used to treat enlarged prostates may also be able to slow 

the progression of Parkinson's disease." The drug is terazocin 

(sometimes known by other names such as Hytrin). 

S.D. goes on to say that "The surprising finding, published in the 

Journal of Clinical Investigation, is the result of an international 

collaboration involving researchers in China and at the University 

of Iowa that combines basic molecular biology with big data." 

Don't let the jargon put you off - senior study author Michael Welsh 

puts it more straightforwardly: "Current medicines can partially 

alleviate some of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. But today 

we have zero treatments that change the progressive course of 

this neurodegenerative disease. That's a terrible state, because as 

our population ages Parkinson's disease is going to become 

increasingly common." He adds (whist jumping up and down on 

the spot and grinning broadly): "I'm really excited about this 

finding because I think it has the opportunity to change the lives 

of people with Parkinson's disease (and possibly other types of 

neurodegenerative disease.)" 

The road to an effective 'disease modifying' treatment for 

Parkinson's is littered with failures. Parkinson's UK says of another 

big new idea: "Currently, there is no stem cell or cell transplant 

therapy available that has been shown to slow or reverse 

Parkinson’s, despite what you may read on the internet. But we 

are making huge strides towards this becoming a reality." 

This treatment is not here yet - but because terazocin is already 

out there, there is a lot of safety data so it's just a case of 

confirming aspects such as effectiveness. That said, I suspect men 

with Parkinson's who have big prostates that are symptomatic and 

need treatment may start hinting at their next medication review 

that they might like to try terazocin. The trouble is, they're not the 

only ones who've had this idea ... I imagine that, as you read this, 

the 'pharmaceutical adviser' who tells docs what they can and 

cannot prescribe 'on the NHS' is sending out a directive informing 

GPs that they can't use the drug for this purpose until it's licensed.

WE CAN PUT A MAN ON THE MOON BUT WE CAN'T CURE 

THE COMMON COLD is the usual put-down directed at us 

medics. Back in 2017, Nicola Davison wrote in The Guardian: "The 

common cold has the twin distinction of being both the world’s 

most widespread infectious disease and one of the most elusive. 

The name is a problem, for starters. In almost every Indo-European 

language, one of the words for the disease relates to low 

temperature, yet experiments have shown that low temperature 

neither increases the likelihood of catching a cold, nor the severity 

of symptoms. Then there is the “common” part, which seems to 

imply that there is a single, indiscriminate pathogen at large. In 

reality, more than 200 viruses provoke cold-like illness, each one 

deploying its own peculiar chemical and genetic strategy to evade 

the body’s defences. 

At long last it rather looks as if we may be on the verge of a 

significant advance. They say the way to stop people reading your 

stuff is to use technical gobbledegook. Bear with me, though, 

whilst I break all the rules ... 

Under the title: "Enterovirus pathogenesis requires the host 

methyltransferase SETD3" we read in the journal 'Nature 

Microbiology' that: "Enteroviruses (EVs) comprise a large genus of 

positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses whose members cause 

a number of important and widespread human diseases, including 

poliomyelitis, myocarditis, acute flaccid myelitis and the common 

cold. How EVs co-opt cellular functions to promote replication and 


spread is incompletely understood. Here, using genome-scale 

CRISPR screens, we identify the actin histidine methyltransferase 

SET domain containing 3 (SETD3) as critically important for viral 

infection by a broad panel of EVs, including rhinoviruses and nonpolio 

EVs increasingly linked to severe neurological disease such 

as acute flaccid myelitis (EV-D68) and viral encephalitis (EV-A71). 

We show that cytosolic SETD3, independent of its methylation 

activity, is required for the RNA replication step in the viral life 

cycle." 

OK - so far so good - that's the easy bit - but how do they do this? 

The boffins go on to explain in their own special language: "These 

data suggest a role of the viral 2A protein in RNA replication 

beyond facilitating proteolytic cleavage. Finally, we show that 

SETD3 is essential for in vivo replication and pathogenesis in 

multiple mouse models for EV infection, including CV-A10, EV-A71 

and EV-D68. Our results reveal a crucial role of a host protein in 

viral pathogenesis, and suggest targeting SETD3 as a potential 

mechanism for controlling viral infections." 

Got it? No? Me neither ... although I imagine the word ' cleavage' 

will appear in the Sun's version of the story. 

AN OCTOPUS makes an ideal comfy non-slip bathmat. Simply 

scoop out any annoying unwanted bits and fix the tentacles to 

the base of the bath. Steve Jefferson (VIZ) 

The BBC's James Gallagher does a better job when it comes to 

making this advance comprehensible: "Scientists think they have 

found a way to stop the common cold and closely related viruses 

which can cause paralysis. Instead of trying to attack them directly, 

the researchers targeted an essential protein inside our cells which 

the viruses need to replicate. The approach gave "complete 

protection" in experiments on mice and human lung cells. 

However, the US-based researchers are not ready for trials in 

people." 

Let me have a stab at explaining this. Because there are so many 

different types of cold viruses and because they are so clever (they 

constantly change their disguises in order to fool the body's 

immune system and develop resistance to drugs) researchers are 

now looking at ways of making them unwelcome visitors. JG takes 

up the story: " This has led to the idea of "host-directed therapy" 

- essentially making our bodies inhospitable for the cold viruses. 

An individual virus does not have everything it needs to replicate. 

Instead, it is dependent on infecting another cell and stealing some 

of the parts inside." So the theory is that, if you fiddle about with 

the innards of the cells (i.e. the basic units which make up the body) 

- starving the viruses of the essential components they need - you 

can stop them in their tracks. In practice when they tried this out 

in genetically modified mice, they found that ALL the viruses were 

unable to replicate inside cells which had the instructions for a 

protein (called methyltransferase SETD3) switched off. In other 

words ... SUCCESS! 

They are not planning to manufacture genetically modified humans 

- but there is a wheeze that might - just might turn this into a 'cure' 

or (more likely, given that these viruses are so fiendishly clever) a 

'partial cure' for what we laughingly call 'the common cold'

ACTION ON SUICIDES AMONG UNI STUDENTS: Former Health 

Minister, Sir Norman Lamb, was on the Today prog this week 

calling for a university mental health charter. ITV News reports: 

"Students at the University of Bristol wait three times longer to 

access mental health services than the national average, according 

to new statistics.

South Woodham Focus 21 

A Freedom of Information (FoI) Act request revealed that many of 

the 110 universities which responded said they did not record all 

relevant key statistics, such as their budgets or waiting times. 

Bristol, for example, came out badly but Cambridge University 

came out very well. The universities rightly pointed out that they 

can't deal with the issue of mental health alone - they need the 

backup of the NHS which, as we all know, is often lacking when it 

comes to adequate mental health facilities. 

Sir Norman is quoted as saying: "Clearly some students are being 

failed by their universities. The lack of appropriate mental health 

provision at some universities is intolerable. When the prevalence 

of mental ill-health among students is increasing, it is completely 

unacceptable that some universities are cutting funding. We should 

be seeing sustained increases – after all, mental health support has 

historically been way underfunded" 

The BBC reported the sad case of Ceara Thacker, "who took her 

own life in May 2018 while studying at Liverpool University after 

her mental health deteriorated. She had struggled with it earlier 

in her teenage years, and attempted suicide in the February before 

her death." Her parents had seemingly not been informed of her 

failed attempt. She was over 18 so I imagine the university had to

Graffiti Classics at the Cramphorn 

Studio (15th Sept 2019) 

Review by Cheryl Jennings 

It was a pity that this event wasn’t better supported as I estimate 

there were only around forty people in the audience, they suffered 

at the hands of the band leader who mentioned it quite a few 

times, blaming the lack of advertising in the theatre. Again, I’m 

not sure how serious he was, perhaps that’s down to his Irish sense 

of humour but it was a glorious late summer afternoon outside so 

I’m sure that didn’t encourage people to spend it sitting in a 

theatre. 

This show is billed as an ‘all singing, all dancing musical comedy 

cabaret show’ and I think at just an hour long, cabaret is probably 

its true home, it would certainly be a novelty style of string quartet 

to see at a wedding. I’m not sure about it being a ‘brilliant dance 

show’ to quote the publicity material but it was worth seeing for 

the music alone. 

If you have recently had a fundraising 

event, don’t forget to send in a report 

and let us know how much you raised 

and send in any photos to accompany it. 

The Focus is the magazine to be noticed 

in, going out to over 7,000 homes and 

businesses. 

Graffiti Classics was founded in 1997 by an Irishman, Cathal O’Duill 

who still performs as the band leader and double bass player in 

most of their UK shows. His aim was to bring classical music to 

everyone, making it fun and anything but boring. This show is now 

performed all over the world in small and large venues, private 

functions, festivals and on cruises. There is apparently a team of 

thirty experienced musicians, all fully trained in the act, so the cast 

can change from venue to venue performing the same show. 

The cast comprised a string quartet of two violins, a viola and a 

double bass. On this occasion played by musicians from Lithuania, 

Japan, England and Ireland and they were without doubt 

accomplished and skilled in their art. The music was certainly 

varied and lively, often played at breakneck speed which was very 

impressive. They presented everything from Bach’s ‘Air on the G 

String’ to ‘Lord of the Dance’, interspersed with humorous chatter 

from the band leader who was keen to get the audience 

participating whenever possible. He had everybody clapping in 

time at appropriate moments to the ‘Can Can’, ‘The Devil Went to 

Georgia’ and most other familiar pieces. He even taught the 

audience how to pronounce and sing the lyrics to the Jewish folk 

song ‘Hava Nagila’. This man worked hard all through to include 

the audience, sometimes seeming at the end of his tether as they 

continually got the simple clapping and responses wrong, the 

audience took it all in good part. 

The cast danced cleverly to many pieces, if not quite with abandon 

– playing instruments at the same time was quite a feat. They even 

attempted some singing which was brave of them and appreciated 

by the audience although this was obviously not their forte. There 

was an unusual moment when all four musicians ended up lying full 

length on the floor and then managed to get back up to standing 

all done elegantly whilst still playing – impressive core strength! 

My favourite piece was without doubt ‘What Shall We Do With The 

Drunken Sailor’. This began beautifully with the haunting sounds 

of the strings portraying the wind in the rigging, the creaking of 

the sailing ship and even the cry of the gulls, all brilliantly done to 

great effect and finally morphing into the song itself which was 

enthusiastically sung by the band leader accompanied by the 

audience. The other musicians executed a hornpipe as they played 

and I really enjoyed this number.

Weekly News and Results Roundup 

U7's Squads U8 Panthers SWFU Boot Exchange 

Our U7 Sharks continued their 

campaign with a draw this week, 

followed by Sausage and chips at 

club sponsors, The Curlew. 

Thank you Russ and Lou! Our 

Wolves continued their 

impressive start with another 

win, and our U7 Eagles chalked 

up their first league win. Well 

done everyone! 

The Panthers travelled to 

Sandon to take on a strong 

Baddow Spartack team today. 

The boys battled hard and never 

gave up, with some great 

tackles, creating chances. The 

boys tried everything to get back 

into the game with Baddow 

proving the eventual winners. 

The Panthers showed a great 

attitude from start to finish. Well 

done boys. 

The club have set up a boot 

exchange scheme, where used 

and outgrown boots can be 

reused. On Saturday Helen was 

at the 3G to lanch this 

programme which saw fantastic 

support from our members. For 

more information on this great 

new scheme please visit our

SOUTH WOODHAM FERRERS 

BOWLS CLUB 

In the past week or two there has been a lot of information about 

keeping healthy – to eat well and do some exercise, appearing in 

national newspapers and our own Focus - Dr. John! One of the 

suggestions for over-65s – but suitable for all ages I can assure you 

– was playing bowls, a gentle exercise that helps maintain good 

balance to reduce falls in old age. 

FOCUS ON SPORT 

SOUTH WOODHAM RUFC 

London 2 North East - South Woodham Ferrers RFC 32 - Saffron 

Walden 15 

Saturday 14th September 2019 

South Woodham Ferrers made the perfect start to their London 2 

North East season with a bonus point home win against Saffron 

Walden. A dominant display saw the lads score four tries against 

a team that had beaten them in the four previous encounters. The 

game was notable for the return of Stewart Whatling playing his 

first game for the club in eight years and an off the bench debut 

for Jake Knowles. 

In the late summer sun, the game started brightly for the home 

team with an early trademark score under the posts for Liam 

Searle; Jamie Cox adding the extra 2. Sevie Hurrell could have 

added a second score soon after but managed to drop the ball 

when seemingly clean through. More home side pressure resulted 

in a second score when they were awarded a penalty try following 

a high tackle by the last defender on man of the match, scrum half 

Kieran Ballinger. The tackle also brought about the first of five 

yellow cards in what was never a dirty game. 

SWF Bowls Club is testament to this; we have members of all ages, 

from early forties with at least five or six regular players in their 

late eighties –still showing the younger ones how to do it! 

FINALS DAYS 

At the end of a very enjoyable and successful competitive season, 

playing all around the Chelmsford District, we came to our own 

Club Finals – Mixed Pairs, Ladies’ and Men’s. 

First was the Pairs – a true battle of the sexes with Grace Allam 

and Helen Williams playing against Graeme Letch and Graham 

Stables. It was a game of two halves – half in reasonably pleasant 

weather and half in torrential rain – but on they played. The men 

winning narrowly by 6 points after a very enjoyable match. Well 

done the Boys! 

Despite being a man down the visitors then enjoyed a period of 

attacking dominance during which the ref evened up the teams by 

yellow carding Jamie Cox for a shoulder charge. In their second 

visit into the Woodham 22 Saffron Walden scored the first of their 

two tries. Soon after the visitors were awarded a penalty which 

was converted following Jack Reeve’s yellow card, for not 

releasing. 

With home side down to 13 men you might have expected Saffron 

Walden to draw clear but as the half drew to a close it was 

Woodham who scored next with a converted penalty from Terry 

Stiffell. In the closing minutes of the half Woodhams forwards 

began to take full control of the game as they began to boss the 

set piece with fine scrummaging. 

Half time came with the score at 17 point to 10 in favour of the 

home side. 

In the second half Woodham showed some real promise with some 

fine running play behind a dominant pack. The ball was allowed to 

do the work as Woodham stretched the Saffron Walden defence 

allowing Jack Reeve to run in Woodhams third try of the day. 

A missed conversion and shortly after a missed penalty could have 

seen the home side home and dry early in the half but it was the 

visitors who scored next. Saffron Walden were awarded a penalty 

against the run of play and capitalised by kicking deep into the 

Woodham 22. They scored a well worked push over try from the 

resulting line out. 

Another day and beautiful autumn sunshine for the Ladies’ and 

Men’s. Again two very good games between Helen Williams and 

Chris Wood, Ian Hennessey and Glen Williams. Chris took the 

Ladies’ trophy and Ian the Men’s. Congratulations to all for 

getting to the finals. 

Although the competitive season is over, we continue to use our 

green for club games and will do until bad weather stops us, so if 

you are thinking of giving bowls a go, do get in touch.

01245 324833 

Woodham were soon back in control with two further scores; a 

penalty converted by Alex Baker and a fine try from close range 

from Tate Holliday. 

The final period of the game was notable for two further yellow 

cards. The first, a high tackle, for Saffron Walden and the second 

for Neil Gittos who was unlucky to have a tackled player fall into 

him, being pinged for a no arms tackle!! Neil had just enjoyed 

making his annual pass of the season. 

The final whistle was blown with the home side on 32 points and 

the visitors well beaten on 15. 

Woodham showed some real promise in the season opener and 

with a strong squad they must be looking forward to more success 

in the months to come.
