One of the most common causes of complaint we hear about at the gym is backpain - it can be extremely debilitating, causing chronic tiredness, depression andirritability. Your back is a complex structure made up of bones, muscles, nerves andjoints, which can make it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the pain. In mostcases it is not serious damage but small muscle strains, sprains or pinched nerves –even so, these can be very unpleasant and the longer these small injuries are leftuntreated, the more likelihood there is of developing a chronic back problem.

Here are some of the most common causes and what you can do to help;

1. Commuting and Computing; your back is compressed when you sit for too longso try to move as much as possible during the day, and align your spine properlywhen sitting.

2. Overdoing it at the weekend; gardening or a game of tennis when your body isn’tprepared are two common culprits. The only preventative solution here is exercise.

3. Absentmindedness; picking something up from the floor, loading the dishwasher– it’s always the simplest of things. Prevent this by teaching your body to engage itscore muscles properly .

If you do find yourself suffering, the first step is to get things checked by aprofessional to rule out any serious damage. After that, a programme of stretching,strengthening and back maintenance can work wonders for long term relief. THEWORST THING you can do is NOTHING!

What role does exercise play in the management of PD?Exercise is an important part of healthy living for everyone. However, for people with Parkinson’s disease exercise is not only healthy, but a vital component to maintaining balance, mobility and daily living activities. Exercise can benefit in two ways: 1. Symptom management. 2. Possibly slowing disease progression.

At a cellular level, the theory behind how exercise benefits those with Parkinson’s disease is not through increasing levels of dopamine in the neurones, but by increasing the efficiency of how the dopamine is used. Research also found that exercise improves that efficiency by modifying the areas of the brain where dopamine signals are received – the substantia nigra and basal ganglia.

How can I get the most benefit from exercise? • Exercise consistently, make it a part of your life rather than a short term trial. • As your fitness improves, don’t be afraid to increase the intensity at which you exercise. The more you do the more you benefit. • Regardless of your condition, you should always warm up and cool down properly and exercise in a way that is safe for you, and know your limits. • Make your plan work FOR YOU – what suits one person might not suit another – keep a record and track how you feel.

Our therapy also uses highly coordinated movement patterns designed to reorganise the nervous system and help to improve lost function and movement patterns.

People who stay physically active throughout life reap the benefits and more. But what about those who slide into sloth once they’re too old for school sports? Can a late start make up for years of sedentary living? If you’ve spent a lifetime avoiding exercise, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s too late to start now. However, extensive research reinforces that starting exercise after the age of 50, even after a sedentary life, will decrease your risk of heart disease and other chronic health concerns. As people age, their arteries tend to constrict (narrow), reducing the tissue’s supply of oxygen-rich blood. Regular exercise is shown to improve artery health, as well as cholesterol levels, lower blood sugar, burn away body fat, strengthen muscles and bones, improve mood and sleep, and protect against type 2 diabetes, dementia, certain cancers, and especially heart attacks and strokes.Many of our members begin exercising following onset of an illness or injury. For a lot of them work took precedence over health for many years, possibly contributing to the conditions they now face. Exercise has shown to be a successful tool for helping to manage these conditions, but we still often hear, “I wish I knew then what I know now about exercise!”It’s never too late to start taking care of yourself, and it’s never too early, either. Whether you started early or later, keep going throughout life. Our trainers can advise you on starting a healthy exercise routine at any stage of your life, so feel free to take up our offer of a free assessment.

In this month’s edition . . .

We have six pages full of pictures of the towns, villages and hamlets where we deliver the magazines – the tricky bit is completing the answer sheet – where are they? And there are some really ‘yummy’ prizes to be chosen by our winners this month! NB. You don’t have to have a complete Answer Sheet to win a prize – so don’t think twice about sending in an incomplete Answer Sheet – you never know your luck!

With pages full of festivals and shows for August (and September) to drop into, it could be a very busy month. No excuses for boredom this month!

There are some interesting Planning items coming up too – and for readers living in Stow, there could be/might be . . . progress on the doctors’ surgery!

So, although we can’t guarantee you good weather, we hope you will have a really enjoyable August in this stunning part of the world – in our wonderful Cotswolds! Best wishes, Jenni

The new international report from the Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention and care, is the first to quantify ‘potentially modifiable risk factors’ for the condition from childhood to old age. One in three dementia cases could be prevented by lifestyle changes.Better education in early life and addressing high blood pressure, hearing loss, and obesity in mid-life, could reduce the rates of dementia by up to 20%. Whilst in later life, treating depression, stopping smoking, managing diabetes, increasing physical activity and increasing social interactions could reduce the incidence of dementia by a further 15%. Professor Gill Livingston (UCL Psychiatry), lead author of the study, said: “Acting now will vastly improve life for people with dementia and their families, and in doing so, will transform the future of society. “Although dementia is diagnosed in later life, the brain changes usually begin to develop years before, with risk factors for developing the disease occurring throughout

life, not just in old age. “We believe that a broader approach to prevention of dementia which reflects these changing risk factors will benefit our ageing societies and help to prevent the rising number of dementia cases.Dr Doug Brown, director of research at the Alzheimer’s Society, added that, “Though it’s not inevitable, dementia is currently set to be the 21st century’s biggest killer. We all need to be aware of the risks and start making positive lifestyle changes.

Dementia is not an ‘inescapable’ part of ageing

A LOCAL business has won the contract for the new Broadway station. Buzz Electrical, who previously completed work for the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (GWSR) at Toddington Station have secured the work. The company will commence the work in early August with the station being operational in March next year.The GWSR’s volunteers are currently building a brand new station on the old station site at Broadway and closely following the design of the 1903-built original. Steve Owens, managing director at Buzz Electrical Ltd said “The steam and diesel heritage railway linking Cheltenham with Broadway will be a huge asset to the area and one we are very proud to be associated with.”John Crawford, who heads the GWSR’s Broadway area group of volunteers who are building the new station, added: “We are building a station that is very similar to the original which was completed by the Great Western Railway over a century ago, although to modern standards. Where possible we have used local specialist contractors to help us complete this exciting project to the highest standards of workmanship and safety.“Evesham-based Buzz know and understand what we need and I’m sure that their work will help to enhance the experience for our future visitors.”

New Broadway station contractors and details announcedSebastian Richards

A £2.2 million community improvement fund launched by Great Western Railway is now inviting applications for the third and final year to support local communities and address areas of social need.

Launched in 2015, over 50 schemes have now benefited from a share of £1.5 million allocated over the first two years of Great Western Railway’s Customer and Communities Improvement Fund (CCIF).In the last year the fund saw the Cotswold Line Promotion Group awarded £109,956 for a new waiting room at Moreton-in-Marsh station. With match funding, the total investment for The North Cotswolds is almost £140,000.Designed to support the communities we serve, GWR is calling for ideas and bids of all shapes and sizes. They must show a link to the railway and address an area of social need or provide a community benefit. Funding is available from April 2018 and all schemes must reach completion by April 2019.

Blessed with a great summer so far most of us have had more exposure to the sun than normal.Key tips for a radiant summer skin Hydration, we lose more water in the heat from our bodies. Good quality water is essential for every process in our bodies and the priority for our body is to keep the vital organs functioning efficiently so they will be high priority when we are dehydrated. The result is that our skin is low on the list to receive the water. Stress, exposure to UV, electromagnetic fields etc. also affect how our skin behaves and often cause us to use up minerals which hold water. The result of this can often been as fine lines and wrinkles.Appropriate sun care protection. Our bodies need a certain amount of sunshine for many good reasons. The benefits of sunshine help serotonin levels which enhance our mood and vitamin D synthesis etc. Sun protection creams and high factors are important and sensible when out in the sun, in the water, skiing etc. and UV rays are reflected on water and snow which doubles the effect of the UV. Keep out of midday sun, protect with hats and keep sensitive areas covered with natural fabrics.A good skin care routine with high quality products is the greatest thing you can do for your skin. Your face and skin is a reflection of what is going on nutritionally and emotionally. Using the right products for your skin type and concerns together with applying them correctly will give you the best results. Professional advice from a qualified beauty therapist is a good place to start rather than the confusion the shop shelves, magazines and internet can produce. There is a balance to be met between doing too little and too much. Correct

cleansing with a product that isn’t harsh and doesn’t strip the skin. A toner that suits your skin provides essential hydration externally, allows serums to penetrate more effectively and you will need less moisturising products on the skin. Toner should be a treatment for your skin not a process to finish cleansing. A good quality eye cream is important for the delicate skin around the eyes. Normal moisturisers are too heavy for this area and can cause premature lines and wrinkles. Serums are great for targeting specific skin care concerns and again professional advice

in this area will save wasting money. Our final step – moisturising. A good quality product that does the work your skin needs. We are looking for nourishment and protection against the external elements, internal stresses such as central heating and air conditions. Over treating the skin compromises it and can result in dehydration, broken capillaries and sensitivity. Many skin care conditions arise as a result of a routine and products that stress the skin and can actually cause problematic skins.If the heat is causing your face to sweat and shine and you feel your make up is sliding down your face, mineral make up powders work wonders here and can be used as foundations from giving a light coverage to a heavier made up look. Blushers and eye shadows are also available in this form.For a great natural look have eye lashes tinted, brows shaped and tinted.

Radiant Summer skin care tips

Opposite Hidcote isn’t it?… Whether or not you’ve ever been to Kiftsgate before, you should certainly go this summer. Always beautiful with its stunning views and rich plantings created by three generations of women gardeners, there are now not only new areas to explore, but from 19 August until 6 September this year there will be sculptures round every corner. Famed for the Kiftsgate rose, the largest in England, Kiftsgate is a series of interconnecting areas, each with its own character and secrets, from the calm stark beauty of the pool garden to the exuberant harmonies of the wide border. Anne Chambers,

whose grandmother started the garden in the 1920’s, has the watchword ‘Evolution rather than revolution’ so that she builds on the skills of her forebears whilst taking all that is best in contemporary garden design and plant varieties. The Oxford Sculptors Group, comprising both professional sculptors with work in countries across the world as well as gifted amateurs, will be showing nearly 100 varied pieces. Sculpture and gardens seem made for each other, each giving the other

an extra dimension. Go along and judge for yourself, and maybe find something for your own garden, as all the sculptures will be for sale. The exhibition runs from 19 August until 6 September, 2pm – 6pm on the garden’s usual days (August: Mon, Tues, Weds, Sat & Sun; Sept: Mon, Weds and Sun.)

Feeding the Ducks

The Moreton in Marsh Horse Pond

Delicious Duck Diet - keeps them quacking healthy. We are delighted to see you and your family feed the ducks on the Horse Pond but human food (especially bread) is not good for ducks or other birds as it doesn't contain sufficient nutrition for them and is the equivalent of junk food. They will really enjoy our special Duck Food, which you can buy for 30p a bag from the Council Offices in Old Town. You will also soon be able to buy the same Duck Food from the Break Charity Shop in the High Street. .

Geoffrey Clifton-BrownConservative Member of Parliament for The Cotswolds

10 July 2017

Abbey 900I was pleased to visit the Abbey 900 in Cirencester Abbey grounds after my surgery on Saturday and to chat to some of the participants and audience on a glorious summer’s morning. I was taken by Corinne Lamus, Festival Ambassador, to see the fantastic Lego model of the old Cirencester Palace in the Church and I was able to make a contribution to some of the bricks to start that construction of a new portal. I would like to wish the Abbey 900 Festival every possible success.

Stow-on-the-Wold Public MeetingIn my previous newsletter I promised to provide an update on the public meeting to discuss the provision of a new doctors surgery in Stow on 30 June. I held this meeting because the people in Stow were dissatisfied with the progress to building new premises since planning permission was granted in June 2015. The CQC have said that the current premises were not fit for purpose.

The meeting itself was extremely well attended by at least 160 people. The meeting heard from the Tall Trees development architect – Andrew Eastabrook – who said that negotiations for finance are at an advanced stage. In addition, a team are now working hard to discharge all pre-commencement conditions. Mr Eastabrook hoped to sign with the Stow doctors and to begin clearing and excavating the site by September this year.

The other applicant, John Nutbourne, also addressed the meeting. He has applied for a non-residential doctors surgery site and he hoped that this would be heard this month – we have recently heard from the CDC planning committee that it is likely to be heard in August. His application differs from the Tall Trees site in that it has access from the Oddington Road and has room for expansion on a single storey basis. Mr Nutbourne reiterated that as a developer he had ongoing finance for his developments and has a proven track record of building in the area.

On my part, I stressed that I did not favour either site, my whole impetus for calling this public meeting was to get a viable doctors surgery as soon as possible in order to provide the people of Stow and its doctors with a proper solution. I proposed the following motion:That this meeting calls on Cotswold District Council to expedite the John Nutbourne application as soon as possible. This was passed by 140 voters to 14. If passed there will be a competition to decide which site is approved by the doctors first.

I am not prepared to wait another two years for a new doctors

surgery in Stow. As a result I have provisionally booked another public meeting for January/February 2018 unless substantial progress has been made.

School FundingOn Tuesday (4 July) I spoke in the House of Commons regarding the ongoing debate over school funding (https://tinyurl.com/ycvxacbj) – this remains my primary concern at this time. All parents, governors and teachers should be reassured that I am doing my level best to ensure that the Cotswolds’ schools receive a reasonable level of funding. I will continue to campaign hard on this important issue.

Our manifesto promise that no school will receive less money is a welcome start, but I would like to see increased funding for all pupils in the Cotswolds.

Thank you PartyI hosted a very pleasant evening at my house on Thursday evening (6 July) for all those people that helped me during my General Election campaign. For all of those who were unable to attend, may I reiterate my sincere thanks for your valuable help that saw me achieve an excellent result in the Cotswolds.

Abbey 900I was pleased to visit the Abbey 900 in Cirencester Abbey grounds after my surgery on Saturday and to chat to some of the participants and audience on a glorious summer’s morning. I was taken by Corinne Lamus, Festival Ambassador, to see the fantastic Lego model of the old Cirencester Palace in the Church and I was able to make a contribution to some of the bricks to start that construction of a new portal. I would like to wish the Abbey 900 Festival every possible success.

Stow-on-the-Wold Public MeetingIn my previous newsletter I promised to provide an update on the public meeting to discuss the provision of a new doctors surgery in Stow on 30 June. I held this meeting because the people in Stow were dissatisfied with the progress to building new premises since planning permission was granted in June 2015. The CQC have said that the current premises were not fit for purpose.

The meeting itself was extremely well attended by at least 160 people. The meeting heard from the Tall Trees development architect – Andrew Eastabrook – who said that negotiations for finance are at an advanced stage. In addition, a team are now working hard to discharge all pre-commencement conditions. Mr Eastabrook hoped to sign with the Stow doctors and to begin clearing and excavating the site by September this year.

The other applicant, John Nutbourne, also addressed the meeting. He has applied for a non-residential doctors surgery site and he hoped that this would be heard this month – we have recently heard from the CDC planning committee that it is likely to be heard in August. His application differs from the Tall Trees site in that it has access from the Oddington Road and has room for expansion on a single storey basis. Mr Nutbourne reiterated that as a developer he had ongoing finance for his developments and has a proven track record of building in the area.

On my part, I stressed that I did not favour either site, my whole impetus for calling this public meeting was to get a viable doctors surgery as soon as possible in order to provide the people of Stow and its doctors with a proper solution.

Cotswolds Conservation Boardreviewing a year of looking after one of the nation’s important landscapesOver 50,000 hours of conservation and wildflower restoration work by volunteers, creating eleven new jobs in local businesses and engaging 1,500 young people with nature are just some of the success stories in the recently published Annual Review 2016/17 by the Cotswolds Conservation Board.The Cotswolds was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1966 in recognition of its rich, diverse and high quality landscape. www.cotswoldsaonb.org.ukThe Cotswolds AONB is looked after by the Cotswolds Conservation Board – an independent organisation established in 2004 which has thirty-seven members – fifteen nominated by local authorities, eight by parish councils and fourteen appointed by the Secretary of State.The Cotswolds is one of the largest protected landscapes in England after the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks and represents 10% of the total AONB area in the UK. It covers 2,038 square kilometres (790 square miles), stretching from Warwickshire and Worcestershire in the north, through Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, down to Bath and Wiltshire in the south.Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), along with National Parks, are considered to be the most special landscapes in the country and belong to an international family of protected areas. There are thirty-eight AONBs in England and Wales, and a further eight in Northern Ireland. For further details, visit: www.landscapesforlife.org.uk. For details of the fifteen National Parks in England and Wales visit: www.nationalparks.gov.ukOver 300 Cotswold Voluntary Wardens dedicate thousands of hours of practical conservation work every year across the AONB, as well as lead an annual programme of guided walks and undertake a range of promotional and educational work.You can view the Annual Review online at www.cotswoldsaonb.org.uk

• £390,000 allocated to Road Safety Partnership

• £100,000 allocated to TROs (traffic Restriction Orders). One is being put in place by Stow to reduce the speed limit from 40 mph to 30 mph on Maugersbury Road. It is supported by Police.

• £30,000 per county for local highways

• £9m for resurfacing

• Lengthsmen scheme – there will be dedicated teams for each area, including one for the Cotswolds. Cllr Moor asked Town and Parish Councils to give him details of items for lengthsmen to attend to.

• Gigaclear (internet provider) issue remains. Seemingly a commercial decision not to make its service available to all properties. Possible actions discussed: complaint to Ofcom, signing up with a non-fibre provider: Cllr Moor reported that other villages are happy with Wurzel.

• Road repairs – a step-change is planned, with £150m pledged. Additional contractors will be engaged and possibly an in-house team. Details to be announced in autumn.

• Patching (resurfacing) is scheduled across the area.

• Doctors surgery at Stow – Cllr Moor will support a new

application (submitted but not yet validated) by Mr Nutbourne for a surgery only, and will try to get CDC support.

• Alteration to Fosse Way traffic lights? Cllr Moor described the major commitments in this area:

• Diverting HGVs – but noted that Oxfordshire is pursuing a scheme whereby HGVs would be diverted away from Burford forcing them onto the Chipping Norton–Stow route

• a recent study showed 20,000 vehicles a day passing Stow cemetery on the A429 Fosse Way.

• officers have been asked to price a smart traffic light system for Stow, which would be responsive to traffic flow on all roads at an intersection

• additional bridge at Moreton using s.106 funds.

• The Police and Crime Commissioner withdrew from Road Safety Partnership. Cllr Moor explained there was a difference of views about use of funds from NDORS (National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme) courses. The courses are now being run by the PCC and GCC no longer has access to the proceeds.

• Sheep Street in Stow, pedestrian crossing?: Cllr Moor was not aware of any plans for Sheep St, but a related issue was the ineffectiveness of speed humps in Back Walls in Stow. Blocking it in the middle so it could not be used as a through-road was being considered. Suggestions from residents were to make it No Right Turn onto the Fosse Way, or introduce a ring road.

• Plans for the field in the latest surgery proposal. Cllr Moor understood nothing was off the table.

A Recent Query at Citizens Advice Cotswold District

I’m planning a long holiday and need to find travel insurance for a reasonable price. There’s a good deal from a Facebook advert but wonder if it might be a scam. How can I be sure if it’s legitimate?

You are right to consider the possibility of it being a scam, and you need to do some research on the company. Insurance is a financial product and the seller must be registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The financial watchdog’s register is online – register.fca.org.uk. If the company isn’t named the seller will not be legitimate. If they are listed, it’s still worth doing further checks on them.

• Start by comparing the price of the insurance deal with similar offers from competitors. Big discounts are often a tell-tale sign of a scam, but the policy could also be cheap because it doesn’t provide adequate cover.

• Ask for a copy of the full policy and check that it covers where you are going and what you’re doing. If the seller won’t provide one, or says they will only give it to you it after you’ve paid, don’t give them your business.

Once you know the seller is legitimate use a secure payment method, such as a money transfer service like PayPal, to pay for the insurance. Don’t pay with a bank transfer, and don’t go ahead if they ask you to pay that way.

For further advice contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 03454 04 05 06 or contact Citizens Advice Cotswold District 0808 800 0511 or check for your closest office here: http://www.citizensadvice-stroudandcotswold.org.uk/stroud-cab-contact-stroud-district.php

The Corinium Museum An Exciting new opportunity to get involved with the Rural Life Collection at Northleach. (No prior experience necessary.)Volunteers are required to help give a new lease of life to an important Rural Life Collection. The Corinium Museum is working in partnership with the Cotswold Conservation Board (CCB) to preserve the Rural Life collection housed at the Discovery Centre in Northleach. A £4,000 grant from the Association of Independent Museums (AIM) and contributions from the Cotswold Museums Charitable Trust will fund the project.Volunteers can find out more or sign up during a registration drop-in event at the Discovery Centre in Northleach on Wednesday 6 September from 10 am until 2 pm. Free training sessions will then take place in September delivered by experienced conservator George Monger. The training will be designed to demonstrate safe preservation methods to clean and treat the Rural Life collection.At the heart of the collection is a group of twenty-three farm wagons and carts, one of the largest publicly-owned regional collections anywhere in the country. Of particular importance are the examples of Cotswold and Gloucestershire styles of traditional farm wagons. Made in village workshops, these reflect the topography and farming traditions of their area and are truly distinctive, including a fascinating mix of bow and box type wagons.James Harris, the Corinium Museum Collections and Engagement Officer, says:“Volunteers will be at the centre of this project. This is a chance for local people who want to offer their time, learn some new skills, and to meet others with similar interests, all working towards a vitally important cause. It is my aim to develop a project which will run for consecutive summers. No prior experience is necessary, other than a good level of fitness and a willingness to get stuck in.”Volunteers can sign up to the project online by visiting http://corinium.volunteermakers.org/ or by contacting James at the Corinium Museum [email protected]

Council Tax collection rates in the Cotswolds exceed 99% - We’re in the top five!

Cotswold District Council is thanking local residents after achieving one of the five highest Council Tax collection rates in the country. Latest Department for Communities and Local Government figures for 2016/17 show that CDC collected 99.3% of all Council Tax due – this means that we are in the top five out of 326 local authorities collecting the tax across the country. The Council also exceeded its own 99.2% Council Tax collection baseline target which was set in 2011/12. Commenting on this milestone achievement, CDC Leader Cllr Mark Annett, said: “We are very grateful that so many residents in the District pay their Council Tax on time. It means that we have prompt access to the funding that we need to deliver our full range of services. “I would also like to thank the CDC officers in our Revenues team who are tasked with collecting Council Tax. They are committed to achieving a very high rate and they continue to pursue outstanding debts beyond the tax year when necessary. We are not resting on our laurels and have recently established a counter fraud unit to target fraudsters operating in the district. We are keen to ensure that we provide the best value for money possible, and our most recent figures (2015/16) show that the overall cost of our services per head of population has reduced from about £110 in 201/11 to just over £82. This is one of a number of measures we use to gauge our efficiency and our most recent review showed that we are the third best Council in the country in this regard.”

Council contacts businesses that will probably qualify for rate relief

Cotswold District Council is writing to local firms that may qualify for business rate relief under proposals which were first announced in the March 2017 budget. The Council has identified businesses which are likely to meet the criteria, and is inviting them to apply for relief now so that they can receive benefits quickly once the scheme is finalised. The relief scheme includes support to small businesses facing large increases of over £600 a year. Up to £1,000 discount is also available for qualifying public houses with a rateable value of under £100,000. Additionally, there will be a discretionary fund to assist businesses with a rateable value of less than £200,000 and facing an increase of over £600 this year. Commenting on the initiative, the Leader of CDC, Cllr Mark Annett, said: “This is very good news for many businesses across the Cotswolds, and we are keen to get things moving. Once our Officers have received applications for relief, they will review eligibility criteria and decide on relief amounts as soon as they can. “As yet, we can’t say exactly when the relief will be applied as we are still waiting for the government to clarify all aspects of the scheme. Nevertheless, we are encouraging businesses to apply quickly so that we can award discretionary payments as soon as possible after that date. “We believe that we have targeted all the firms that might qualify, but please contact the Council on 01285 623000 if you believe that your business has been overlooked.”



We’ve been looking back at what happened and what we’ve done since to protect our county. Gloucestershire experienced one of the worst natural disasters in living memory due to extensive flooding. It was one of the wettest summers on record, two months worth of rain fell in just 14 hours.

• 5,000 homes and businesses were flooded.

• 80% of properties were affected and were overwhelmed by flash flooding.

• 48,000 homes were without electricity for two days.

• 135,000 homes (over half the homes in Gloucestershire) were without drinking water for up to 17 days.

• 500 businesses were affected. • 10,000 motorists were stranded on

county roads, including the M5 where many people remained overnight.

• 500 commuters were stranded at Gloucester train station.

• Flood water reached 7 feet in some vulnerable areas.

• The estimated cost to repair the county's roads was £25 million.

• Overall estimated cost to the county was £50 million.

Fire fighter, Rob McClean took Cllr Vernon Smith, cabinet member for Highways and flood out on the River Severn looking at the flooding hotspots from 2007.

Since 2007 we have worked with partners to reduce the impact flooding has on the county.

We have invested in flood alleviation schemes. Working in partnership with the Environment Agency and district councils, protection has been provided to an estimated 3,500 homes.

A scheme protecting 179 homes in Cheltenham has started and will be complete in early 2018.

10 years on from the 2007 summer flood

Top tips for staying safe during floods

- Think about flooding before it happens. Sign up for free flood warnings and create a personal flood plan.

- Try to avoid contact with flood water. Do not drive through flood water and do not let children play in flood water.

- Do not use petrol or diesel generators indoors to dry out your home. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which can kill.

- When cleaning up after a flood, wears rubber gloves, boots and eye protection, and wash hands afterwards.

S UNDS ALIVE SOMEWHERE OVER THAT RAINBOW

Nicholas JohnJudy Garland’s first live appearances in London were in 1951, at the Palladium where she topped the bill for a month. Six years later, in October 1957, she returned to the Dominion Theatre for another month-long season entitled “Miss Showbusiness” culminating in her appearance at the Palladium as part of the Royal Variety Performance on 18 November .

In October 1957, prior to the Dominion run, she recorded a session at EMI’s Abbey Road studios and, between 2 and 9 August 1960, she returned to record a further twenty numbers. My father, Michael John (1927-2003), then working as a singer for EMI, had fond memories of these sessions.

“I’d seen Judy Garland once before, at a dinner at the Dorchester and, to be honest, I hadn’t been that impressed, considering her newsworthy appeal and ‘star status.’ She was garishly dressed with heavy make-up, surrounded by showbiz disciples and appeared loud and brash. But then I was

contracted to be part of a four-piece backing-group for a session with her at EMI’s Abbey Road studios. The four of us were grouped behind our single stand microphone directly behind the vocal booth that she was to record in. I fully expected some Hollywood ‘airs and graces’ and I wasn’t surprised when, as we started to rehearse the first number, Judy stopped the recording by walking out of the booth, saying loudly that “this won’t do at all!”

“Here we go,” I thought, “another temperamental star!” But she announced

that she couldn’t hear us very well, smiled a wonderful smile and told the producer that she would like to sing with us, not in front of us. Screens and mics were moved and then, as everyone prepared for a first full take, she turned to me and asked for the note to check her pitch. I was captivated in that moment and spent the rest of the session in a daze, with Judy Garland singing close to my right ear.

A month later, I found myself at the most famous theatre in the world, the London Palladium, for the 1957 Royal Variety Performance. The bill included Mario Lanza, Vera Lynn, Count Basie and His Orchestra, Tommy Steele and, of course, Judy Garland, who we were backing live. After a long, orchestral overture, she walked onto the stage and the theatre erupted. I had never seen anything like it. We were at the back and this tiny figure, alone in the lights, mesmerised the audience, holding them in the palm of her hands. I had never seen a performance of such strength and charisma – the sheer power and personality that poured out of her was astonishing.

In August 1960, we were again at Abbey Road, with more singers this time. Studio One was large enough for a full orchestra (conducted by Norrie Paramor), and Judy led them with tempo and rhythm and working with us on harmony and volume. At one point, someone suggested to her that we held a note so we’d all stop at the same time. She looked at the four of us and smiled, “I don’t stop – I hold it through to the very end!”

There is an interesting clip on YouTube entitled EMI recording with Judy 1960 in which Joan Coulson, now an author who has written extensively about Judy Garland, recounts her own memories of one of the August sessions at Abbey Road – well worth a watch.

Judy Garland once addressed the London Palladium thus: “I believe in the idea of a rainbow. I’ve spent my whole life trying to get over it!”

Chipping Camden School is celebrating winning an award at a ceremony marking the best of school farm learning.As part of the School Farms Network Education Alliance Conference (SFNEA) held at the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester, the awards celebrated the best of school-based farm learning.Chipping Campden school’s triumph came in the School Farm Enterprise and Innovation Award 2017 category.Sally Greenwood, engagement manager at educational organisation Applied Inspiration, and a judge for the awards, said: “Chipping Campden stood out as the school has made official their enterprising activities by setting up a Community Interest Company (CIC).“This is an almost unique move by the school farm to ensure that profits from the school farm are used to specifically benefit the furthering of land-based education of the school and the local community.“The judges were impressed by the business plan behind the school farm’s operations, including the engaging of the local business community to support the company as directors, and integrating this within the study of business at the school to fully reap the benefits of the company for the curriculum and the links made with local outlets to sell their produce.”The awards were presented by well known farmer and television presenter Adam Henson, director of the Cotswold Farm Park in Kington near Cheltenham.The Campden Society and Campden Business Forum have worked together to set up a ‘CIC’ – a Community Interest Company.The fruits of these labours, apple juice, apple crisps, hand-made lamb burgers, sausages, free-range eggs and honey made on local flowers will soon be available to buy online.John Sanderson, principal, said “We are pleased and proud that giving these students this really fantastic ‘plot to shop to plate’ experience has been recognised, and that the school is playing its part in supporting the rural economy and helping to give these students training for a job sector that has a shortage of young people which should stand them in good stead for their futures.”

Chipping Campden School celebrates award for innovation

Dormer House School in Moreton has achieved a Gold Artsmark Award from the Arts Council UK in recognition of their commitment to an enriching arts curriculum. The community outreach

programme available in the Cotswolds has been instrumental in their success, for example by providing theatre costumes for local schools to borrow for their shows, arranging for performing at local care homes, running an arts award club for local children and an annual community Shakespeare Day. The specialist drama, dance, music and art teachers at Dormer House School are thrilled that their work has been recognised on a national level. Head of Drama is Emily Scates: “There is a fizz and a buzz about the arts at Dormer. The curriculum is presented from a creative perspective, drawing in all our pupils.“Life is expecting much of them, and achievement in the arts gives children confidence and the self esteem to tackle academic subjects head on.”The Community Outreach Programme gives students the opportunity to get involved in community service on a regular basis, with projects to choose from almost daily. Projects are student-led and are offered at a variety of nonprofit agencies.

BOOK LAUNCH WITH DEREK TAYLORWe are delighted that once again Derek Taylor, popular local author of A Horse in the Bathroom and Magna Carta in 20 Places, has asked us to supply the books for the launch of his new title, Who Do the English Think They Are?, at the Masonic Hall in Stow (next to the Borzoi) on Tuesday 12th September at 6.30pm. All welcome.

AUGUST HIGHLIGHTSA relatively quiet month before the deluge of Autumn new titles! Philippa Gregory turns her attention to Lady Jane Grey in her new period novel, The Last Tudor (£20, 8th August). We thoroughly recommend The Sixteen Trees of the Somme, a family story of epic scale by Lars Mytting, author of Norwegian Wood (£16.99, 10th August). Rebecca Tope continues her Cotswold mystery series with Peril in the Cotswolds (£19.99, 24th August). New to paperback are Pachinko by Min Jin Lee (£8.99, 3rd August) and Breaking Cover by Stella Rimington and Cartes Postales from Greece by Victoria Hislop (both £7.99, 10th August).

The stand-out historical biography is The Curious World of Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn by Margaret Willes, an intimate portrait of two pivotal Restoration figures (£20.00, 22nd August). Barney White-Spunner, who has previously written about the Household Cavalry and the soldiers at Waterloo, turns his attention to the story of Indian independence and the creation of Pakistan in 1947 in Partition (£25, 10th August). Other 20th century histories cover the Russian Revolution and the Cold War.

Stealing a march on his rivals is Jamie Oliver, whose latest cookery book, 5 Ingredients: Quick & Easy Food, is published on 24th August at £26; it accompanies a C4 series,

For our younger readers, about 7+, we suggest The 91-Storey Treehouse by Andy Griffiths, the 7th in this popular series (£5.99, 24th August, 7+). Ideal for reluctant readers! If you’re a bit older, The Explorer by Katherine Rundell sounds very exciting. It’s an adventure story about four children fighting for survival in the Amazon after their plane crashes (£12.99, 10th August). Or there’s Winston and the Marmalade Cat by Megan Rix, which finds Harry taking a special birthday present to none other than Winston Churchill (£5.99, 3rd August). If you’re about 11 and you like World War II stories, why not try Wolf Children by Paul Dowswell, which is set in post-war Berlin – and survival is not a game (£7.99, 24th August)?

Finally, who could resist Woof by Anouska Jones, a book of happiness for dog lovers with lovely photos and quotes (£8.99, 3rd August)?

The annual show is widely regarded as one of the biggest and best Steam, vintage and countryside events in the UK and features thousands of vintage transport from classic cars, tractors, commercial vehicles, vintage bus and coaches, motorcycles, scooters, traction engines, miniature steam, industrial trucks, military vehicles, model flying displays, caravans to emergency vehicles.The show has grown year on year, and this year in no exception. The show organisers have had to close the display entries early, due to the record number of exhibitors confirmed. Martyn Slater, Chairman of the Stroud Vintage Transport and Engine Club said ‘Our goal has always been to give the best value for money family day out in Gloucestershire, with something for all of the family to enjoy’.The popular Countryside Arena features a dog show (yes all fury four-legged friends welcome!), ferret racing, rare breeds, animal conservation, horse logging, falconry displays to sheep dancing and reptiles!The event is packed with curiosity stalls, trade stands, models tents to craft marques, plus a large vintage fun fair with the popular Fairground Organs, ‘electric yachts’, waltzers, big wheel, Punch and Judy Shows, steam-driven ‘gallopers’ and traditional penny arcade games, plus smaller visitors can hitch a ride on ‘Chuffy the train’.There are plenty of food outlets onsite, or you can pack a picnic. One of the popular places is the vintage tea room which hosts regular music

sets and 1940s Lindy Hop dancing (both days). Songstress Betsy Harmony will be performing a delightful selection of 1940s songs from Andrew Sisters to Vera Lynn, to a right old ‘knees up’ singalong plus there will be regular sets by the ‘Steamed Up Brass’.Taking to the skies above the showground is the iconic Battle of Britain memorial Dakota (both days – weather dependent) plus Jump4Heroes, The Royal British Legion Extreme Human Flight Team parachute display team who will descend into the arena on all three days of the event.The event actively raises awareness and

thousands of pounds for both national and regional charities. Over £150, 000 has been donated in recent years. Whilst the show has evolved a lot over the past 40 years, the mission remains the same – to inform, educate, entertain and celebrate our unique transport history and the preservation of historical vehicles.Come and have a fun-filled great day with the family; what’s more all the money raised benefits both national and regional charities. The show opens daily at 10.00am and finishes at 5.00pm, with a free vintage bus service operating around the perimeter of the show site, and to and from Kemble railway station throughout the show to connect with selected First Great Western Trains.

The Rotary Club of the North Cotswolds

Great ideas to share - Spend time with Rotary and good things happen

Chipping Campden and District Rotary Club

Membership IncreasingThe Club was able to report to District Governor, Alan Hudson from the Hereford Wye Valley Club, that membership is increasing following our earlier efforts, when he visited the club on 13 July at the beginning of the new Rotary year. He gave an interesting ac-count of his career and involvement with Rotary. Alan also said he intends to support clubs which are trying to make Rotary attrac-tive to younger people. This is particularly relevant to Chipping Campden club, which has begun to recruit younger members.

The Club’s vision this year is to continue to concentrate on local issues and institutions in Chipping Campden and district, while not neglecting Rotary’s wider international responsibilities for disaster relief not least the End Polio programme.

Rotary’s Polio PledgeRotary International and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have announced a new commitment of up to $450 million to sup-port the eradication of polio. To an audience of nearly 40,000 Rotary members attending the Rotary Convention in Atlanta, Bill Gates and Rotary International President John Germ, renewed Rotary’s longstanding support for ending polio in a keynote speech.

“The vision of eradicating polio began with Rotary, and its sup-port of that effort has been unwavering for more than 35 years,” said Gates.

Rotary International along with its partners has reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide.

Local EventsThe Club is planning a full list of events for local issues and insti-tutions during the coming year - in particular, a Welsh Choir recital and a further Race Night for Campden Area Home Nursing, which provides invaluable support for the final care of terminal patients and their families within a radius of twelve miles round C Camp-den. The Club also aims to continue the successful Tree of Light and popular mulled wine stall at the Christmas Fare.

Youth SpeaksPlans are under way for a primary school public speaking com-petition in spring 2018. This event has been organised for over twenty five years and provides valuable educational experience for young pupils. The Club is also considering entering a sen-ior school team into a Rotary District Youth Speaks Competition, thus strengthening its links with the wider Rotary movement.

New Pattern of MeetingsThe Club now normally meets for a dinner meeting on the second and fourth Thursdays in the month.

New members and enquirers are always welcome at our meet-ings at the Cotswold House Hotel at 6.45 for 7 p.m. Membership is open to women and men.

Email: [email protected]. Tel. 01386 841163 or 01386 840990.

James R Anderson 17 July 2017

April 2018 marks the Centenary of the formation of the RAF 1918. David Brook is finalising the Concert in thtb Church with the Churchwarden and others; Keith Moule has arrangedfor the Shipton Town Band to play for us. The Exhibition at Stow on the Wold is being finalised, including an inventory of the memorabilia we plan to display. John Griffiths is organising a Jazz Concert in the Shool for September 2018. I sincerely thank those involved for their support.

Ian Campbell, the local District Supprt Officer, has explained what financial support is available and what it exactly covers. I have written to Cotswold District Council, reference funding available to assist us in our activities, and also to Edward Tyack, son of Jerry, to see if his father’s museum has any artefacts we could borrow, All grist to the mill. In August Tracy Khan, our District Welfare Officer in Birmingham, will advise us how we can be of greater assistance to one another.

Meetings are on the 1st Wednesday every monthat the Lygon Arms Hotel, Chipping Campden, at 6pm, with a short business meeting at 6.15pm in the months of May to August, and at 11am in September to April. These are followed by a Branch Social, Spouses, Partners and close adult relatives are always welcome

PRESIDENTS NIGHT – Friday 23rd JuneColin Gatenby hosted his President’s Night at the Wyck Hill House Hotel on Friday, 23 June. During a most enjoyable evening Colin handed over the presidency to Peter Boxall.Paul Harris Sapphire awards were presented to Brian Honess for all he has done with the District Young Musician competition over many years, and to Bob Hadley for his work with Rotary Youth competitions at The Cotswold School.

It’s summer holidays for many, a time to forget about work, go off somewhere nice & not have a worry in the world. It’s okay for some but for the self-employed it’s not always possible to take a break in the summer

and for many it’s impossible to take a break at anytime during the year. Many self-employed people work extremely long hours just to standstill and yet our dear Chancellor is still thinking about aligning national insurance or at least closing the gap between what the self-employed pay and those that are employed under PAYE. On the face of it it seems a reasonable idea but let’s not forget that self-employed people don’t get the benefits of employment, the holidays, sick pay, pension or any form of security if things go wrong.

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again, isn’t it about time we got rid of the ridiculous 5th of the month? How many people work to a month beginning on the 6th & ending on the 5th? There is no reason why tax months and the fiscal year can’t be aligned with the calendar year. It would make life simpler for everyone & may even help the workers at HMRC who have problems putting payments into the right months & sometimes in the right years!

There hasn’t been much good news lately but two things can be highlighted, one is the consistent numbers of people in employment and the second are the continuing low interest rates (except for those who rely on interest on savings). This coupled with some good news about higher exports can only help the economy get back on its feet in the longer term. The other good news, especially for our area where tourism employs so many people, is that the weak pound is encouraging more tourists to come to this country. Since the referendum tourism has increased by over 20% & it is predicted to go even higher.

If you’re in business and you need help, either speak to your accountant or give me a call, I will be happy to help in any way that I can.Robb Eden is based in Moreton-in-Marsh. He can be contacted via e-mail at [email protected] or by telephone 01608 651802.

Where is that? I know where that is! Where was that taken? I’ve seen that before . . .

LOOK UP – LOOK DOWN – LOOK BEHIND YOU!

Inside the August editions of the Cotswold Times are a set of numbered photographs, all taken recently, one in each of the communities where we deliver the magazines every month. But – these are not average picture postcard images, and you may need to look carefully!

The Challenge . . .To identify the communities where the photos were taken. You will need to get out and about in our stunning corner of the Cotswolds and look for something or somewhere which is on our doorstep – and which you might not have noticed before! And EVERYONE can have a go!

There will be LOTS of winnersfor the most correct answers of course, and for the youngest/oldest entrant, the best family entry, the best local business entry, the best pub or club entry and more.

TimetableThe Competition runs for the whole of August. Answer sheets must be received by the Editor by Monday, 4 September . . . Please don’t be late! The winners will be notified early in September and sent a voucher to claim their prize. Check out the potential list of prizes this year – there is a Prize Box on page 54 . . . the first winner has first choice.

NB. Only 2 of the Cotswold Times team know where the photographs were taken – so everyone can join in!

That includes our contributors, our deliverers and editorial team, and everyone who has contributed prizes too. No-one needs to be left out! So,

• make up a team, or

• organise the family to get out together and look,

• talk your partner into getting involved, or

• enjoy a day just for you, to potter around the area

A perfect excuse to spend time looking around our gorgeous villages and towns andSPOT WHERE THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN

COTSWOLD TIMES | 55

Why aren’t people being told that what they are eating is killing them? How come there is no operating manual, that tells us how this wonderful body of ours works? How do we do the ‘preventative maintenance’ that will enable our body to go for 200,000 miles without blowing its engine? How do we keep the fuel lines from getting clogged up? Why is it that most people don’t even know the proper kind of fuel to put in the bodies fuel tank?When Peter had the latest scan on his carotid arteries, and they told him that he now has adequate flow on both sides, we were overjoyed.Following a series of strokes, and an operation to clear the one artery that was dangerously blocked, a scan last year told the sad tale that the artery had now blocked completely! Medications were increased, and Peter started doing some research. He found that the only thing on the web that claimed it could reverse atherosclerosis, was a fat free vegan diet. So, with some scepticism, and trepidation, we bought some cook books and got started – after all, what had we got to lose? I know – this goes against everything we currently understand about nutrition! And many experts will disagree with it profoundly. We have found that this way of eating is very satisfying, we feel lighter and have both lost quite a lot of weight. We started the eating plan just before Christmas last year, and Christmas, therefore, was quite interesting – but even with families who demand traditional fare, we kept reasonably successfully to the plan. We have recently been travelling, visiting several different countries with broadly different food cultures, and have found it hard to avoid fats and fish. Eating fats produced stomach cramps and bathroom difficulties, but eating fish was a pleasure that we decided to keep for special occasions. We have been reading a lot, and have discovered a growing movement of people eschewing the Standard Western Diet in favour of Plant Strong meals, and the logic is quite overwhelming and irrefutable.There is a documentary to be found on Netflix, or on DVD, called Forks over Knives (also a book) It details the health stories of people who have reversed chronic conditions such as T2 Diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart disease, IBS and other stomach complaints, not to mention arthritis, joint pains and other life limiting complaints. It also discusses the effect on the greater environment of the livestock industries. For instance, we use more land to feed our livestock than would be required to feed an extra 3 billion people!! You might think that the fat free vegan way would be boring. You would be wrong!! Prawns, bacon, eggs, chicken, fillet steak, butter? All consigned to the bin for us – do we miss them? Not at all! In place of these things we eat whole grains, pulses, potatoes, bread, pasta, any kind of green, red, orange vegetables, fruit. Plants all the way. Plants with spices, herbs, more plants. Chilli beans, curried chickpeas, black beans and rice, baked potatoes with hummus

and salad, sandwiches, salads with fruit, porridge with fruit and nuts and seeds, home made vegetable soups with bread and marmite. We make a cheese flavoured sauce using nutritional yeast, cheese like substances from nuts (very tasty!!!). And to drink? Lots of water, flavoured with lemons, cucumber etc, a cappuccino made with almond milk(unsweetened), an occasional glass of wine or beer, fruit and herb teas.Protein? We tend to eat too much anyway, but plants provide all that we need in the form of beans, lentils, whole grains, peanuts, oats, cashews, potatoes etc. Carbs? Well, that’s obvious. Fats? Plants provide fats – and enough for the requirements of our bodies – nuts, seeds in particular, though all plants seem to have a 4% fat composition, which is just about perfect for us. Cholesterol is present in plants too as all organisms need it for cell wall health, but the form that plant cholesterol takes does not appear to stick to our arteries. Vitamins, minerals etc? Calcium is present in plants in greater proportions than in animal products. B12 and D3 are the only potential worries, and these can be supplemented for. D3 in the winter, and B12, if you feel you are not getting enough. Marmite, mushrooms and nutritional yeast are all good sources. In short, animals eat plants in order to provide meat, and although we are designed to be omnivorous, we too can live on plants.The bottom line for the health of our bodies, and our environment seems to be to eat the plant strong way. The important message for the future is that we need to keep a clean healthy planet for our grandchildren, so that all they have to worry about is the takeover of AI, the appearance of little green men, or an asteroid from deep space.Watch the documentary, read anything by Caldwell Esselstyn, Colin Campbell, or John McDougall. You will be very surprised!! Judy Dean

Tour of Britain, 2017Stage Seven of the Tour of Britain Starts in Hemel Hempstead at 10.30 am on 9 September. The world’s top professional cyclists race through the Cotswolds passing through Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh on their way to the finish in the historic spa town of Cheltenham. A distance of 186 kilometres.

Within the stage are intermediate Sprints and the King of the Mountains finishes. These are separate classifications which happen in parallel with race to be the overall leader. For the King of the Mountains several positions along the course are nominated for a King of the Mountains points prize and the riders race to win the points. The points leader from the previous days wears the King of the Mountains jersey. Similarly there are intermediate sprints to win points prize for the Sprints jersey.

The OVO Energy Green JerseyAwarded to the rider leading The

OVO Energy Tour of Britain overall, the Green Jersey is what every rider in The Tour

seeks to pull on. The Green Jersey is easily identifiable in the peloton, showing you who is currently leading The OVO Energy Tour of Britain.

Recent Winners: Steve Cummings, Edvald Boasson Hagen, Dylan Van Baarle and Sir Bradley Wiggins

SKODA_KoM_JerseyThe SKODA King of the Mountains Jersey

Awarded to the best climber in the OVO Energy Tour of Britain, riders battle for points at designated SKODA King of the

Mountains climbs on every road stage of The Tour.

Ranked in one of three categories according to their difficulty, the first riders across the summit win points

with the rider who has accumulated the most points wearing the SKODA King of the Mountains jersey.Recent Winners: Xandro Meurisse, Peter Williams, Mark McNally and Angel Madrazo

Eisberg_SprintsJerseyThe Eisberg Sprints JerseyEach road stage of the OVO Energy

Tour of Britain features three intermediate Sprints, where points are awarded towards

the Eisberg Sprints Jersey.

Highly popular with fans, riders battle it out to be first across the sprint line to claim points, and also bonus seconds to be taken off their overall race time.

If the overall lead for the OVO Energy Tour of Britain is tight, expect the battle for the time bonuses to be intense, just as in 2007 when an intermediate sprint helped decide who won The Tour overall.Recent Winners: Jasper Bovenhuis, Peter Williams, Sebastian Lander, Angel Madrazo

The cyclists do not pause when they pass these finish lines but carry in order to win the stage. Usually there is a relaxation of the pace, although occasionally an opportunist seizes the chance, as the pace slows, to launch an attack and break clear on his own.

For Stage Seven there is a Sprint finish in Bourton-on-the-Water, another in Moreton-in-Marsh and a King of the Mountains finish at the top of Bourton on the Hill. Plus further afield there is another sprint finish at Winchcombe and a King of the Mountains finish on Cleeve Hill. These can be seen on the map for Stage Seven.

Council SupportCotswold District Council is actively supporting the event and Cabinet Member for Enterprise and Partnerships, Cllr Chris Hancock, is very pleased that Stage Seven is shaping up so well:

“It’s great to see that three of the main tourist locations along the route have been awarded the additional privilege of hosting specialist sections of the race. I am sure that the crowds will love seeing the riders fighting it out to the line for points in either the Skoda King of the Mountains challenge or the Eisberg sprint stages. It all adds to the excitement on the day.”

Moreton Town Council is also making the most of the occasion, according to the Media Officer Kit Havelock-Davies:

“We are hosting a splendid vintage bike ride on the same day that the cyclists come through the town, and a Beer Festival will also be taking place at the Moreton Cricket Club grounds.

Anyone who wants further information or would like to get involved should contact the town clerk, on 01608 651448, who will be happy to provide the relevant contact information.”

North Cotswold Tri & Run Event ReportNCTRs Lucy Walmsley was crowned British Ladies V45 Ironman champion as she smashed it on her debut at the Ironman UK event in Bolton. This fantastic result now qualifies her for the 2017 World Ironman Championships in Kona Hawaii later this year in October.

Ironman UK - BoltonIt was a damp start at the UK Ironman Championships at Bolton but this didn’t put off the 2000 competitors about to enter the lake at the start of their Ironman journey. The pro’s started first with a constant stream of amateur competitors following and soon the lake was full of swimmers

as far as the eye could see. An inspirational and emotional sight! When Lucy Walmsley exited the 2.4 mile swim, she was placed twenty-third lady overall in a time of 1:06:13 and went through the all important first transition in a very quick time of four minutes ten seconds.The tough two lap 112 mile bike course saw Lucy move up to eighth lady overall but more importantly she was now well clear of the other competitors in her V45-49 age category. Her bike time was an outstanding 6:04:15 going into the second transition which she nailed in three minutes fifty-thrtee seconds helped by the many times she’s practised it in training and only

beaten by the top two professionals! After such a tough bike ride the marathon was always going to be a matter of survival but Lucy showed her many years of running experience and strength by completing it in an amazing time of 3:32:15.

Her total event time of 10:50:43 was only bettered by four professional athletes and one other amateur athlete from a much younger age category. It also annihilated the rest of the competition in her age category with the second placed V45 a massive 1:22:08 behind her. More importantly the result secures her place in the GB team for the World Championships in Kona, Hawaii later this year in October.

Thirty, five to eight year olds, took part in the England and Wales Cricket Boards initiative to introduce cricket to the next generation. This was embraced by all at North Cotswold Young Cricketers and huge thanks go to the keen initiators who ran the exciting sessions each week. On the last night after the final session all were presented

with a medal and certificate before a enjoying a picnic.

Every Friday evening was a buzz of activity at the Club with the regular coaching for our young players taking place in the new net facility alongside the All Star Cricket and these sessions will continue as long as there is demand throughout the summer.

All Star Cricketers and Coaches celebrate the presentation of their Medals and Certificates The Ladies Team at the Wellesbourne Tournament

Moreton in Marsh Bowling Club

May, June and July have been busy months for the club. With friendly matches being played around the district plus matches in the Kineton League and North Cotswold League. On 24 June we entertained visitors from Heanor in Derbyshire, and on 25 June our friends from Enderby in Leicestershire came. This is an annual match, and we return to their club on 13 August. Both days are looked forward to and enjoyed by both clubs. We have had a mixture of results but the enjoyment level has always been good.

The club has also hosted a number of matches for our member, Clive Bennett, who is Gloucestershire President this year.

On 31 May Moreton hosted a match between Gloucestershire and Worcestershire Bowling Associations. Gloucestershire came out the winners. On 11 June MBC were hosts, at Gloucestershire President’s Club against Three Counties. The visitors were victorious on this occasion. On 2 July it was the turn of GBA Men v GBA Ladies. It was a hard fought match with the men being the eventual winners. Then, 5 July saw GBA Ladies v Warwickshire which resulted in a close win for Gloucestershire. All these matches were enjoyed both by players and spectators alike and our hardworking members in the kitchen provided, as always, a splendid meal for the players after the match.

In August we have two more GBA matches. On 9 August GBA Men take on West Glamorgan and on 19 August GBA Men will be playing against MBC. Spectators are more than welcome at these matches.

Congratulations must go to Rita Gerry, who has secured a place in the County Two Woods singles competition to be played at Tewkesbury Bowls Club on Saturday, 22 July. She will also

be competing at Leamington Spa, in the National Finals on 15 August. Congratulations Rita from everyone at the club.

We are a friendly club, always welcoming to new members. If you feel that you might like to try please do come along and have a go. We have Club Night every Monday from 6.00 pm when there will be coaching available. Or come along and watch a few matches if you prefer.

There are two County matches in August at which spectators would be most welcome. They are:

Wed, 9 August at 2.00 pm – Glos Bowls Assn v West Glamorgan.

Sat, 19 August at 2.00 pm – Glos Bowls Assn Men v MBC.
