The team of inspectors, led by Julie Sackett, observed 27 lessons or partlessons, and received 75 responses to its online parent questionnaire. They also noted that the proportion of children achieving a good level of development in the early years had increased substantially since the previous inspection, leaving them well.

They make exceptionally rapid and sustained progress during early years. Headteacher Jacqui Kearney said: And it is of course, only the start. Bring along silver, jewellery, art, gold sovereigns, ceramics, oriental items, etc, without obligation Next auction: Audi A3, near the turning for the A The vehicle stopped at the scene but the year-old man from Maidenhead, sadly died.

The road was closed for several hours while Roads Policing officers and emergency services attended. Youth and school football referee Brian Wratten, who died on May 16 aged 82, had been admitted to the Royal Berkshire Hospital RBH presenting symptoms of pneumonia after years of cardiac and respiratory problems.

The inquest at Reading Town Hall on Tuesday heard how Mr Wratten, who lived in Windmill Close, Woosehill, developed fungal sepsis following his admittance on May 3 this year, and examinations of his abdomen revealed a blockage in his bowel caused by a previous hemicolectomy surgery. We were never given false hope and it all seemed to happen very quickly at the end. We were given plenty of guidance and treated with respect. What surprised us was when we heard there was going to be a post-mortem as there were discrepancies over the actual cause of death. He concluded that Brian John Wratten died from recognised complications of a necessary medical procedure, on a background of extensive natural disease.

Paying tribute to him shortly after his death, Dick Sawdon Smith, from the Reading Referee's Association of which Mr Wratten was president and former membership secretary and treasurer, said: Scrum on down and help charity RUGBY fans will soon be able to make a donation to charity while they enjoy watching their favourite sport thanks to a partnership between London Irish and a Woodley-based family charity. An eye catching pink bin will be seen popping up at home games and local events where people can drop off their high quality donations.

Its an exciting time, London Irish have a large fanbase with a family focus. Working with them will help us raise awareness about our services to those who need it, as well as gaining the support to continue the work we do.

House broken into during fireworks show A HOUSE in Wokingham was broken into while the owners were at a fireworks display last weekend.

Three houses in Sewell Avenue were targeted by thieves between Friday and Sunday, with one taking place while the occupiers were enjoying a fireworks display. During one of the burglaries, the offenders forced a panel in the back door before searching the property and stealing jewellery. Elsewhere, a garage in Church Road was targeted overnight Saturday into Sunday. The offenders attempted to break in by levering open the door, but they were unable to gain access.

Anyone with information regarding any of these incidents is urged to contact the Thames Valley Police enquiry centre on The finale will include a tribute to the popular Last Night of the Proms concert.

I have so many memories from when I was in the Armed Forces and Remembrance Sunday has always been a very important time of year for me.

When I was there in we all slept in wooden huts. I remember one night we heard the sound of planes flying over and all of a sudden there was this incredible bang really close by. The Germans had dropped a bomb on one of our huts and we had heard the explosion. There was nothing that could have been done to stop it. Everyone sleeping in that hut must have died. It was such a terrible thing but we all just went back to sleep and got up for work the next day.

You just had to get on with it. It was horrible to see shipmates go down with the plane. It will be such an honour to march again with other blind veterans to the Cenotaph. Many years later, when Charles was 71, he had a cataract operation which went wrong, and began to experience age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of sight loss in older people.

I loved watching the football and going to see my team play. You live a completely different life when you go blind. The staff at the centre were wonderful and helped me to give it a go again. Charles has a machine which will scan his bank statements and letters and read it back to him. He has also received a mobile phone that he can use to keep in touch with his family.

My specially adapted mobile phone is really important to me because I live alone. All of my children live really close but having the phone helps me to feel a bit safer. Injured soldiers who were well enough to be relocated away from the frontline were moved to Sindlesham to rest and recover from their wounds.

The mourners included family, friends and past and present staff. Mrs May, who lives in Sonning, called in to the Hurst shop last Friday to apologise for not being able to attend because she was to be in India on the day of the funeral, Monday.

Mr Jennings died suddenly at his Woodley home on October His widow Jacky said: It was a comfort with everyone there supporting us.

Peter and David took over the Hurst shop in about , building the new premises there in David and Jacky had been married for 32 years.

David Jennings was a member of Henley Golf Club for 40 years. Mrs May paid tribute to David: Especially when it came to discussing Manchester United or the Cricket, he was never short of something to say. It is truly a terrible loss for them and Hurst has lost a great friend. And now the hunt is on for small, local community groups, projects and charities across the UK who want cash awards to support their warm-hearted work.

Michelle Frost, spokeswoman for Galaxy Hot Chocolate said: Wokingham Borough Council has been filming its Shute End meetings and posting them on the internet for a number of years, but next week it is hoping to stream a debate about a local garden centre as it happens. A petition signed by more than 4, local people has triggered the debate, which takes place on Thusday, November 17 from 7. Due to the interest in the discussion, which revolves around an ongoing dispute between the council and Hare Hatch Sheeplands Garden Centre over planning permission, the council has made provision for the anticipated crowds.

Rob Scott, who runs the Twyford based garden centre, said: But just by being there our loyal customers can show their support. There will be 20 spaces in the public gallery above the council chamber and a further seats set out in the neighbouring David Hicks Rooms, where the debate will be screened.

Visitors should arrive between 7pm and 7. Seats are on a firstcome, first-served basis. Sheeplands said that its supporters will use the debate to back any proposal put forward to lift an enforcement notice which is currently in place. Doing that, they argue, would allow an independent Government appointed planning inspector to examine claims by Sheeplands that they are entitled to a certificate of lawful use. This could lead to a speedy resolution and bring an end to a time-consuming process. He took cash before leaving the shop.

At around 9pm on the same evening, a man threatened a female member of staff at the Coral bookmaker in the same road. The man left with a quantity of cash. No-one was injured in either incident.

Got a business story? In particular, the rules around pensions and Inheritance Tax are complex and constantly changing. Simon Stannard, Director and Chartered Financial Planner at Financial Planning Hub, said that their approach is to first understand what clients are trying to achieve financially and why.

The networking meeting will once again be held at Bearwood Lakes in Sindlesham and will see like-minded business leaders and decision makers from across the borough gather for a light breakfast as well as collaborate, do business and gain insights. The meeting starts at 7. Of course, talking through these issues is a very personal thing to do and will normally need on-going reviews to ensure the plan stays on track with changing legislation.

Simon offers a fee free initial consultation to discuss the planning need, see if he. Financial Planning Hub offers a range of services ranging from a one off project to a full Wealth Management Service including a formal review at least annually.

Elisha joined seven other stylists from around the country to work with mentor and industry expert Jerome Hillion and photographer James Rutland. The result was an eye-catching portfolio of work that displays her creativity, innovation and talent to the full. HAD an interesting chat the other day with a Wokingham landlord. Now of course, this was all anecdotal but it made me think if similar things were happening in the Wokingham property market?

This is a really important point as I explained to this landlord, is knowing when and where the demand of tenants is going to come from in the coming decade. Just as important is knowing the supply side of the buy to let equation, as to the number of properties built in Wokingham, Wokingham property prices, Wokingham yields and Wokingham rents. In , there were 57, households with a population of , in the Wokingham Borough.

By , that had grown to 60, households and a population of , But, as my readers will know, there is always a but! My analysis of the Census results, using the most recent in-depth data on household formation i. There has been a seismic change in household formation in Wokingham between and It can be put down to two things; 1 increased international migration, and 2 changes to household formation.

There is evidence that migrants initially form fewer households i. There are also changes to household formation patterns amongst the rest of the population, e. So, what does all this mean for Wokingham Homeowners and Landlords? Quite a lot in fact. There has been a subtle shift to slightly larger households in the last decade, meaning smart landlords might be tempted to buy slightly larger properties to rent out — again good news for homeowners who will get top dollar for their home as they sell on.

But now with Brexit will household formation swing the other way in the next decade? Opinions express in this column are her own. As a result of growth and a need to expand, Timico Technology Services TTS made the move to the heart of the Thames Valley technology hub, moving into an 11,sq ft office space in the E2 building. The new office features a reception area, creative office space with dedicated collaboration zones, a modern kitchen area, a boardroom with state of the art conferencing facilities and parking for 49 cars. Managing director Nabeil Samara said: It is rare to be able to get all of those things in one place.

Our move to Winnersh. Triangle Business Park is a reflection of our business growth and is the ideal location to accommodate our future business evolution. It is the first of the big phone networks to open a branch and it will be situated in Market Place, in the home of the old Specsavers branch. It was vacated when the opticians moved into the former Cargo store in Denmark Street.

The company is one of the biggest mobile phone operators in the UK with more than 18 million customers. I look forward to bringing this to Wokingham. The children in Year 5 have been learning about the individual sacrifices of Service men and women killed in conflict. They discovered that thePoppy Appeal raises funds to support work for the Armed Forces and also learnt about some very personal stories of soldiers.

Year 5 were inspired to make their own small personal endeavours by crafting a poppy for every pupil in the school. Making over poppies in total, the children have been selling them to pupils and parents in aid of the Poppy Appeal. Waverley School pupils have been supporting the Poppy Appeal by making their own poppies to sell in support of the fund.

Wokingham, get ready to give! The idea is simple, but it sparkles with the true spirit of the season. You choose a tag from one of the many Giving Trees across the borough, buy the gift on the tag and return it unwrapped to the tree. Big-hearted volunteers then go to work to get the presents to local charities, which make sure they go to children whose stockings might otherwise have been empty on Christmas morning.

Last year, more than 2, tags were collected and hopes are high Wokingham folk will be even more generous this time around. The appeal matches presents to children who would otherwise do without at Christmas Picture: The appeal just gets bigger and bigger each year, with more venues wanting to host a tree. Any present will put a smile on the face of a child at Christmas. All shoppers need to do is choose a tag, buy the gift suggested and return it, unwrapped to the place where.

This will provide one-to-one support and workshops. This is a wonderful opportunity to get involved in helping people in your community. We would like your support.. Anything would be gratefully received. Alternatively you can donate by JustTextGiving. The firms hosting Giving Trees are: The charities The Giving Tree will help: Founded by local resident Sue Jackson, the aim of. Tree and has watched the appeal bring more and more Christmas cheer every year.

She told The Wokingham Paper: Choose Buy the Return Congratulations! THE new home for a bank that provides food rather than cash was officially opened on Saturday. Situated in the old Michael Hardy offices off Broad Street — and the former home of More Arts, which has moved into a Peach Street location for Christmas — the site is larger than its former premises on Rose Street.

The proceedings started indoors due to the cold weather. Ms McGee, who hosts her radio show on Sunday mornings, praised the people who helped run the foodbank, which provides emergency food parcels for people in desperate need. Moving back outside, the celebrity used special ceremonial golden scissors borrowed from Wokingham Borough Council to cut the ribbon and declare the new premises open.

Back inside, the Revd Anna Harwood, Chair of Trustees for Wokingham Foodbank, read a Bible passage before leading a prayer of thanksgiving for the new premises and for the volunteers, the donors and supporters and particularly for those who need to come to the foodbank for help. We hope to see you there. This type on Wednesday, October 26, but revealed after we of behaviour will not be tolerated and we will had gone to press last week, and a partial closure continue to work with partner agencies to tackle order was granted for another property in the these types of issues.

This is one example of how those in our community can help those in need. Produced by professional display company Sonning Fireworks, it was set to music and looked back on key events during the year. On Saturday — Guy Fawkes Day itself — a record number of people descended on the town hall to take part in the annual torchlit procession to Cantley Park.

The marchers were accompanied by the Saint Sebastian Wokingham Band, and headed up by Milly Allen, the winner of a drawing competition, and the borough and town mayors. The procession walked down Milton Road towards Cantley Park where they were able to enjoy a funfair and food stalls before the bonfire was lit and the fireworks were let off.

The event is teamwork between a host of local charitable organisations including Lions, Unicorns and Rotary Clubs and all profits go towards a mixture of local charities. The final total is not yet known but chief organiser Alan Rouse said it was likely to be a record amount. He told The Wokingham Paper: We had more people than ever before, raising more money than ever before. It was a continuous minute display and we were very pleased. People were rammed shoulder-toshoulder. To advertise advertise call call To advertiseTo advertising wokinghampaper.

We are looking for an enthusiastic hardworking reliable person to join our team.

Yes, Christmas is coming and with it a host of fun, feasts and fantastic and not-so fantastic presents. But what about those who do without?

Just visit a tree, choose a tag, buy the present on the tag and return it to the tree. Santa does his best to be everywhere, but sometimes even the best present givers need a bit of a helping hand. So, what are you waiting for? We love to hear from you! We will therefore leave the EU but not without parliamentary scrutiny and considered ie on the facts not party dogma or public opinion based on untruths decisions based on the terms negotiated. Putting it through by royal prerogative or statutory instrument is NOT democracy.

We should respect our independent judges and their decision for without them we the people will be the losers. Ruth Smith, via Facebook. Now I go there first for shopping, advice and a chat. Which shop, you may ask … Wokingham Decor, of course. Support your local shops… Glynis Ormsby, via email. Cyclists and cycle paths Given the amount of money spent on narrowing local roads and painting cycle tracks on roads around Wokingham, we still have the majority of cyclists illegally using the footpaths rather than either the road or designated cycle path. We regularly get the cry that motorists do not take care when there are cyclists on the road, but the problem for many people is not the cars but the bikes hurtling along the narrow pavements.

This is bad enough for the middle aged, but for young mothers with toddlers and for the elderly it is extremely frightening. Recently an elderly neighbour was struck by a cyclist along the Wilderness Road, she being knocked to the ground and the cyclist carried on without even checking to see if she was alright, thankfully several motorists, who saw what happened stopped to help, she is now very nervous when walking along the local roads. As the previous writer stated, when will either the local authority or the police deal with this problem?

Maybe it is time for legislation to compel ALL cyclists to be registered and be insured? Brian Wedge, via email. Pupils from Holme Grange School made special Mexican memory boxes, each one dedicated to a different person including loved ones and celebrities such as Victoria Wood. The church and the churchyard were also lit by candlelight.

The letter from Mr Bello letters, November 3 is interesting in that it is obvious that the gentleman has never looked at what many Councillors actually receive in payment from the Borough, in other words from us, the tax payers. The payments made to Councillors can be seen on the website at: While there are Councillors that are hard working there are others who are anything but. There is one Councillor who has nothing to do with his ward, seems to do little within either council, who ignores all emails and voice mails from residents Town and Borough and seems completely incapable of even acknowledging that he has been contacted, let alone do something about the problems.

I did it for the good of the community. Tony Kalisz, via email. What lovely pictures A thank you to The Wokingham Paper for publicly showcasing the artwork produced by the young people who entered the Wokingham Fireworks competition. Well done to them all! J W Blaney, Wokingham. John Redwood vows to vote for Brexit in Parliament On our website, wokingham. I think John Redwood going against his constituency is a selfish act and he should be removed from his position as MP… We voted to stay, he is our voice in parliament — so he should consider what the majority of his constituents want.

Redwood will NOT be getting my vote in the next election. The man if you can call him that does not speak for me! Im not leaving, via website Several things are wrong here: I can say the same at the meetings I attended only Remain voters turned up. I therefore guess only like minded people turned up at his meeting. I do not remember seeing any notices to say please come speak to local MP about the Brexit vote. As the representative of Wokingham he should be representing the opinion of the voters for this region which voted for Remain despite his personal opinion.

Therefore Mr Redwood is being unfair to his electors. The court case is not about stopping Brexit but ensuring that due process is performed. My conclusion is that Mr Redwood has a biased and blinkered view. Peter Dennis, via email. Our front page report last week looking at a report into the ongoing traffic issues on the Am caused quite a reaction from you. Here are some of your thoughts from our Facebook page: I think we all knew that without the benefit of a report!

It was blatantly obvious from the start to anyone with half a brain that making the motorway into one lane is going to bottleneck the traffic. The idea of sheltered lanes for the M4 is great, but only with an extra lane as well. They do it every single day! They are just too impatient to stay in the correct lane.

It was taking me an extra 30 to 45 minutes to get to Reading from Wokingham. Put it up for six months. Then people will drive properly. The signs that are there now give plenty of warning. People just ignore them because they think the traffic in the left lane is going to Newbury and they will have time to get over for London. Susan Chatterton, via Facebook I have regularly been stuck in half hour traffic jams trying to get from Coppid Beech to Winnersh turn off — it is so frustrating as it was obvious from the outset this would happen.

Adrian Roberts, via Facebook. We asked your opinions on our Facebook page: I think it just be food too. The rest of the shop is small and I can never get what I need. Edwina Nash, via Facebook Wokingham originally opened as a food store till it slowly brought in clothes and homewares. Maybe it should go back to what it had intended to be — food.

Susan Grindley-Smith, via Facebook. It really captures the joy of the event. We love receiving your pictures for this slot — send them to news wokinghampaper. It involves lying on a blanket for an hour listening to gentle music which is enough to relax anyone, while Niki does her thing and afterwards I feel relaxed but energised. Look her up www. Hope to see you there. The election of the 33rd US president was over.

His retort was simple: By any stretch of the imagination that headline was a colossal blunder. Truman, traveling by rail to Washington, stepped to the rear platform of the train and was handed a copy of the Tribune early edition. He had as low an opinion of the Tribune as. Truman held the paper up, and photographers preserved the moment for history. The outcome hinged on Florida. The networks withdrew their declaration and Gore called Bush to retract his concession.

When the counting finished, the margin of victory was just — making a recount mandatory. Because of the way votes were recorded and counted, also because some of the voting. The recounts ground on. Missing ballot papers, alleged long after the event to have been found in the Gulf of Mexico, threw even more doubt into the minds of the electorate. But that was to come later, as the case of Bush v Gore was decided on December 12 in the US supreme court and George W Bush won the case, the state, the election and the country.

Immigration servers in Canada promptly crashed, allegedly due to the number of US citizens wanting to move north. The adults do daft things with an elf and then tell the children the elf did it. Then the adults have to tidy up whatever it is the elf has done. If you have not seen the video released by Thames Valley Police I strongly urge you to watch it. As harrowing as it is to watch I feel it is essential viewing to highlight how a moment can wreck lives. How did I get on the mailing list? It must be age alone. Anyway, this magazine that shall remain nameless has Celebrity in its DNA.

Keep your independent thinking in the closet and read celebrity-focussed magazines as a cover. Vicarious living Well here I am once again revealing my true colours. A curmudgeonly mean-spirited little man wanting to deny the readers of Wokingham a bit of fun and frisson between the pages of a glossy. I am simply making a one-curmudgeonly-man stand against all the values this magazine and magazines like it represent. I expect teenagers to be fascinated with celebrity but not me.

She has, in her own quiet way, served not just our country, but the Commonwealth too. As we gather on Sunday, wherever we gather on Sunday, we must all raise a toast to our Queen, sing the National Anthem with pride and celebrate this special occasion. Happy birthday Your Majesty. May you be long to reign over us. UNE should bring with it some good weather. June makes me think hopefully of long hours of daylight, warm sunshine, strawberries at their best and Wimbledon.

Early summer is perhaps a time to enjoy the good things of life. I love the long, light evenings that bring the opportunity to be outside long into the evening and summer weather also seems to make people more sociable and friendly. Those fortunate to go on holiday might be able to enjoy the seaside or amazing views from mountains, they might enjoy relaxing by serene lakes or being exhilarated by fast flowing rivers. Even if the only available outside space is a small balcony or patio, summer is a good time to slow down a bit and enjoy life.

A superb panoramic view from a hilltop or views of the vastness of an ocean remind me of how enormous creation is and how insignificant I am. The intricate beauty of a flower or an insect can show me of the beauty of creation. And the order and pattern in creation — how the seasons work and how the earth produces food for us to eat, tells me of how clever the created order is. I cannot see all this and fail to acknowledge the work of a creator.

So enjoy the long days and the summer weather and see if you can appreciate the hand of the creator. This is the first few months of the new service and we are constantly reviewing and managing it together with our contractor. We appreciate verges in urban areas should be cut and that there are open areas where children expect to have cut areas for ball games, etc.

We now also maintain grassland and wildflower meadows that have proved popular at Cantley Park in Wokingham, Ashenbury Park in Woodley, and on the Woosehill Spine Road. We have experimented with 13 different wildflower seed mixes and have successfully introduced a variety of wildlife habits and improving the look of several areas across the borough. We believe, and many support us, that these areas do improve local environments, but appreciate not every resident is comfortable with this approach. If any residents feel that an area has been missed or requires cutting, please do let us know by visiting our contact us page, emailing: They are a pleasure to see.

Further to your stories about grass cutting — in correspondence with Wokingham Council they state the grass not being cut is to improve biodiversity rather than saving money. The grass is not being cut at all around the Manor. I am a very proud father to four energetic girls. The dads feel it too. Not knowing if your child will ever get better, or knowing that they never will. The charity provides emotional and The new grass cutting policy has attracted a range of practical support wherever and however it is needed.

Our story about a women who took her bedlinen to Obviously, this is a cost cutting exercise and the Johnsons to be dry clearned, only for it to go missing drew council have to keep making cuts unless we all want some comments on our Facebook page: I have seen so many more washing machine in her own house?

Who even dry cleans flowers, which not only look beautiful, but which will their [spare room] duvet covers anyway? Regardless of cost, Johnsons had a duty of care and Gemma Alford, via email must cover the loss. If there is no receipt or credit card. The head of the department must remember the stock.

Kathleen Christie, via Facebook. You feel as if we are in a country where the economy is failing as you drive around and see all this unkempt verges! Is the council being lazy? Will we get a refund We should vote to leave, like John on our council tax????

It is a shame that we went in to the EU 40 years ago, Dan Gillmore, via email but now we know that it has never been any good.

Victor Rones, Bracknell As any parent can vouch, having children is a. Living in shared accommodation: The most common situation is that one of you asks for a connection. That person is entering into a contract for the supply and they will be legally responsible for the whole of the bill. Even if you move out, you could still be asked to pay the bill. In some cases, the supplier can hold other people in the flat responsible but only if they can prove that the person who made the contract did so on behalf of the other residents.

If an account has been set up using the names of all the residents, the supplier can legally chase anyone named on the account for any outstanding debts. The situation is different again if no one actually enters into a contract for the supply of fuel. You might just carry on using fuel that was already connected when you moved in.

In this case, any adult living in the property can be held responsible for paying for the whole of the supply. Phone bills The person whose name is on the account is responsible for the bill. Some phone companies will only allow one person. Other companies allow joint names. In this case each of the account holders is responsible and may be chased for payment. Council tax Usually you all have joint responsibility for the whole of the council tax bill.

This means if the whole of the bill is not paid, the council can decide which of you to take action against. You will need to fill in an exemption form. If you live in an HMO your landlord is liable for the council tax, by they may pass on the cost to you in their charges. TV licence If you all live together as one household you only need to pay for one licence. This is the case even if you have TVs in your individual bedrooms.

You normally agree to share the cost equally. If you only have a TV in a communal area, such as a shared lounge, only one licence is needed. He was capturing nature at Longmoor Lake in California Country Park a couple of weeks ago and, while doing so, caught this wonderful moment of a gull flying across the lake.

Out of the public spotlight, away from his work at REME, the AA and the Territorial Army, his contribution has continued in much the same quiet, methodical and self-effacing way.

His activities have ranged far and wide from supporting the disadvantaged — young and old alike; collecting, researching and publishing books on military history; helping and sponsoring charitable organisations; wider and deeper knowledge than Google on all matters Wokingham; writing books on one make of car; supporting minorities; did I say books already?

Going back to his political roots when he was councillor in the late s and early 70s, one of his political colleagues had this to say: Coming to the present day and one of his. His kindness and concern for others has always been huge. His political opponents very much admire him too — itself also a rarity. This is partly due to his having rescued the old factory records when they were being chucked out in the s. His book collection literally has to be seen to be believed.

His love of books has made him a valued contributor to the Library Working Group which has helped increase footfall and borrowing at a time when closures are being experienced elsewhere in the country. His advice to local charity shops helps sift the interesting from the ordinary when it comes to raising funds from books. After a sunny week in West Wales yes really, all week, beach at 9. Hay was a fantastic treat at the end of a beach week though it took some encouragement to put on regular clothes and shoes but we managed it and got there in good time to have a wander around, bumping into Tony Robinson, before seeing the lovely Kate Humble and her dog Teg who was full of character.

We then had a spot of lunch and another mooch around before sitting down to hear Michael Morpurgo who I can only describe as heartwarming, witty, serious and spellbinding. Michael Morpurgo spent the first half of his talk on the war after warning the younger audience that it would be hard to listen to in places but would be jolly by the end.

He certainly delivered both. My favourite toy as a child was a DUKW my Godfather bought me from some museum and Barbie had no place in our house that was firmly an Action Man zone. Being at Hay and listening to Michael Morpurgo I also had a touch of Nellish hay fever but nobody looked at me as I scratched my tears away, no children tutted and rolled their eyes, nobody saw because all eyes were on stage and the stage was owned by Michael Morpurgo.

The queue for his book signing was massive but sadly we missed out. The book signing was in The Town Hall, the ice creams were at the Fire station, the loos were at the Bingo Hall and the strawberries were in Rose Street. Then I had a touch of panic until we were reunited. David Walliams is another one of those authors whose books captivate and leave you thinking at the end.

I can appreciate wanting to make changes to schedules but Home Fires was good, decent and honest Sunday evening viewing, allowing those watching it to sink bank in the sofa and lose themselves in a time gone by with communities that taught us so much and for whom we should be grateful to. Bless you for reading. See you next week. HE previous generation expected to get on with life and cope with the knocks but now it seems we are encouraged to worry about everything especially our children and young teenagers.

There is, for example, a statutory requirement for schools to provide compulsory anti-bullying assemblies. The problem is when we focus on a discomfort the problem seems to become bigger and more unpleasant. One strategy is to focus on important goals and do not let problems overwhelm you. Maybe help someone else who is struggling with a similar problem. Life becomes a tedious existence. Which brings me to the Referendum. When it comes to unravelling the torrent of information and statistics that is currently aimed at us I am utterly confused — juggling a thousand different scenarios.

I have come to the conclusion that we may be slightly worse off economically but better off politically if we leave and one of the great benefits of living in the UK has been political stability mixed with a reasonable amount of democracy. Just another bully on the block trying to intimidate me. Give me the facts if you can.

Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results. The thought occurred to me when watching flexible Novak Djokovic dance his way around the raw fire power of Andy Murray. When you reflect on life it seems we were designed to cope with the unpredictability of life. This makes us creative. Better not to know what is always waiting for you around the corner. To be alive we must embrace uncertainty and thrive in it. What do you think? Should we stay, or should we go? The editor would love to hear your views for the next issue.

Send your thoughts to letters wokinghampaper. Wokingham people Signer of the times Spencer— or Spenny — Collins is a man with a mission. Born profoundly deaf, he knows all about the problems those with hearing difficulties face, but he is passionate about breaking down the barriers. He is running free classes for hearing people to learn how to sign and communicate better with deaf friends and colleagues — and his dream is the idea will spread and make the world a better place for all.

PENNY cites two examples of situations that are minor hitches for those of us lucky enough to hear, but so much more of a struggle for him. The first is if your car parking ticket fails on the exit barrier — the instruction is to press the button and talk to a member of staff. The second is sorting out something with the bank. He has wanted his mother to speak for him on the telephone, but this has not been allowed because of the Data Protection Act. He has to get in his car, pay for the petrol and go to the bank to do something that is much more straightforward for most of us.

It makes you think. But this inspirational year-old is convinced if everybody knew more about communicating with deaf people, everybody would benefit. There is no charge, even the coffee is free, and people from Wokingham, Bracknell, Reading and even Fleet are learning to sign and lip-read and break down that barrier.

The group is called Make A Difference and that is exactly what the founder is determined to do. I have got mothers. My dream is it will sweep across the country and it is all about helping others make a difference. He was born into a hearing family and says he mastered lip-reading from the word go. He is now an art consultant his family had a gallery in Leeds , matching up buyers with the right works of art and dealing with lawyers over the sales.

Volunteers must be a qualified counsellor or in the final year of a Diploma course or equivalent that leads to being a qualified counsellor OR to be a qualified therapist or in the final year of a Diploma course or equivalent that. Spenny Collins wants to open your eyes to talking by sight — he runs free weekly communicating classes for lip reading and sign language on Mondays and Tuesdays. But he is convinced if people in the business world communicated better with the deaf, their return would increase. With Helena Badger leads to being a qualified therapist.

Placements would include an induction course, regular supervision with a qualified, experienced supervisor and ongoing training. All volunteers must have a satisfactory DBS check. They are looking to recruit a new Treasurer to join their board of trustees. The role includes reporting income and expenditures and processing wages and other accounting activities.

They are a membership organisation with a network of local branches and groups throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. They have a really exciting opportunity for people who have experience of arthritis whether personal or via family and friends — AND for those willing to learn — to provide peer support to others living with arthritis. The role is a Community Champion. Volunteer and commitment is for a few hours each week — or less regularly if required.

The volunteers will be helping with the drop-ins in Wokingham. Volunteers should have experience with arthritis whether personal or via family of friends and must be friendly, helpful and approachable.

Here now is a summary of our moving hills and contributions to making date and a few ideas on flowing lakes and the next round of articles. And why in the UK.

What would you think if I told you that GPs are in decline and at risk of being a dying breed? In a few years time it will be the exception, not the norm, to see a GP. Wokingham Medical Centre received almost 2, calls between 8am and 9am one morning in March. Their phone system crashed as a result.

Many GPs are so stressed with the profession that they are leaving either through planned or early retirement, emigrating and a large number are choosing to work part-time. Some surgeries have almost 4, patients per doctor. Wokingham Borough surgeries are repeatedly advertising for new staff but receiving no applications. Being in an area with a high cost of living and just outside London weighting does not help the recruitment crisis. Surgeries are having to think creatively and are now utilising a skilled workforce mix; for example, a phlebotomist or Health Care Assistant can take blood samples, a Practice Nurse can carry out pre-diabetes clinic tests and checks, a prescribing nurse can give vaccinations and immunisations and a prescribing pharmacist can undertake medicine reviews.

Wokingham Medical Centre has just embarked upon an apprenticship course, in conjunction with Southampton University to train Health Care Assistants Primary Care will not survive unless patients begin to make radical changes. Entire generations have learnt to turn up to the NHS at the first sign of a symptom. We have gotten used to seeing the medical profession as experts and we respond as passive recipients of advice, therapy and treatment.

So how do we use the system more efficiently? Well, if you are not sure but think something is urgent a good starting point is to call NHS who will triage you and direct you accordingly. There is increasingly strong evidence that patients who understand, take responsibility for and are involved in managing their conditions and involved in decisions about their care have better health outcomes.

So just before GPs become extinct we must all pull together and take this opportunity to create a society where self-care, from managing minor ailments through to taking greater control of long term conditions is the norm not the exception. How to contact us: Nicola Strudley works two days a week as the manager for Healthwatch Wokingham Borough. Opinions expressed in this blog are her own. The trio of swimming specialists visited Carnival Pool and Loddon Valley Leisure Centre to offer training and life saving tips.

Fast Swimmer James Goddard, water polo expert Rosie Morris and synchronised swimmer Vicki Lucass all competed in the Olympics and were at the swimming pools to coach the youngsters in their sports as well as teach them basic lifesaving and CPR skills. The event ended with the youngsters enjoying a swimming race against one of the trio before posing for pictures with the stars.

The ladies from Tesco, in Finchampstead Road, donned pink T-shirts to tackle the 5km course, a task which was made all the more. But for one man from Wokingham, and his colleague from Reading, there was nothing leisurely about their latest bike ride. Jon McCann and his friend Dom Onions, who both work for local charity Get Berkshire Active, tackled the gruelling mile London to Paris ride last weekend taking on cold temperatures, high speed and lots and lots of rain along the way.

Having never properly cycled before, the pair were dubious as to what to expect, but the thought of raising money to enhance sporting opportunities for local disabled people kept them. You really feel like you earn the donations, it was a very tough challenge but once complete it was thoroughly enjoyable.

Dominic left and Jon after completing the mile ride. The pharmacy team at the Royal Berkshire Hospital received good ratings for its work at the Reading-hospital. The year-old is tackling a route usually undertaken by cyclists. En route, he has tackled deep snow and searing heat, earning huge blisters on the way and also walked through heavy traffic. Supporters told The Wokingham Paper that he has kept his spirits high throughout. Chris began his journey on Friday, April 15 and has so far completed miles at an average of over 19 miles each day.

The reason that Chris has been walking is personal: Chris has lost a number of family, friends and associates to blood cancer culminating in the passing of his sister-in-law Ruxi last year so he has chosen to fundraise for Cure Leukaemia.

And, as a Governor of the Holt School, Chris is keen to help the school build a new sixth form centre hence the support for their charitable trust. I have met some amazing people along the way and been touched by the great messages of support I have received. Whilst this challenge is tough, I know I am doing it for three wonderful causes, and that has kept me going. Given the personal experiences he has had with blood cancer I am sure his story will strike a chord with the public.

One in eight women in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some stage of their life. We believe prevention is possible. The money Chris raises for us will be used to campaign for improvements in public health policies and raise public awareness about the links between exposure to harmful chemicals and breast cancer.

The national charity grants the wishes of children living with life threatening illnesses and is appealing for local schools, nurseries, businesses and communities to take part in the scheme, helping to raise funds for a magical trip of a lifetime for seriously ill children.

Regional fundraising manager, Nicola Brien, said: We encourage everyone to either donate or be sponsored when taking part in the laps — to help raise as much as they can for the Lapland trip. It also gives parents a break and a chance to see their children smile, creating precious treasured memories which last a lifetime. The information pack contains: More than 80 students from the all-ability day and boarding school are leaving this summer, some having been at the all-through school since they were four, attending junior and senior school there before completing sixth form, and celebrated with a day that summed up the variety of an LVS Ascot education.

Students, parents and teachers then made their way across to the Harte and Garter Hotel in Windsor for a grand leaving ceremony that included presentations and awards along with afternoon tea before some tearful goodbyes. The special Royal Birthday Cake was then cut and enjoyed by all. Smooth sailing for Rough Crossing Life on an ocean wave has never been funnier, thanks to Woodley Theatre. With a shaky Act 2 still a work in progress, they struggle not only with the writing, but also keeping their composer Adam Ada, and stars Natasha Navratilova and the intellectually-challenged Ivor Fish, happy during the crossing.

When the married Ivor declares his love for Natasha, who is already partnered with Adam, all hell breaks loose, and the playwrights, along with the hapless cabin steward Dvornichek, have to hold it all together and convince their colleagues that the declaration was all part of the play. The play opens on the two writers halfway. Curtain up is at 7. To book call Can you offer these adorable animals a loving forever home?

Each week, we team up with the folk at Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre in Nelsons Lane, Hurst, to try to find new homes for the animals currently in their care. Although she is very sweet and a good little dog, she is also quite shy and tends to hide behind other dogs so nobody notices her. She was spared a grim fate when a rescue worker stepped in to look after her until she could come to DBARC.

Two-year-old Lydia will need a calm and loving home to help her rebuild her confidence, and would do well with another dog to bond to. She is very sweet and cuddly once she gets to know you, but as she is quite timid we would not want to place her in a home. He would make an ideal addition to a loving family. At years-old, this is quite an upheaval for a lady of her age so we are hoping she finds her new forever home very soon.

Can you offer this little darling the loving home she deserves? The day will feature a dog show, with classes for Best Puppy, Best Rescue Dog, Happiest Dog and many more, a dog scurry, cake stalls, tombola and lots of fun and games.

PLANS to install a new defibrillator in Wokingham town centre have moved a step closer after the Town Council launched a bid to purchase an old red telephone box. The kiosk, outside the Post Office in Broad Street, has been designated as low usage by BT, who have removed the telephone equipment and are transferring ownership to the Town Council.

As the kiosk is a listed structure, planning permission to convert its use needs to be sought. Once granted, a defibrillator will be installed. The Town Council said that the equipment is being donated by The Wokingham Community First Responders, who will also provide a vandal proof casing and offer year maintenance. The defibrillator will be simple to use and available to any member of the public who attends a medical emergency involving potentially life threatening cardiac conditions. Councillor Mark Ashwell, chairman of the Amenities Committee, is pleased that the equipment is being installed.

Each year, the town council looks for individuals living or working within Wokingham who deserve recognition for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the town.

The Chancellor, George Osbourne, set out the direction for the party in his address on Monday. Elsewhere, the business rates plan could cause the most mischief to a borough being regenerated. In his speech, Mr Osborne set out plans to allow local authorities to set their own business rates and keep all the money. At the moment, firms pay a rate set by central Government. The plans could create confusion and potential cartels. Big Store Inc could, in theory, launch a bidding war between the two boroughs, with the potential to create a race to the bottom.

RAVELLING back from France last week, I had to pass through Calais, and could not help feeling a pang of guilt as I passed the migrant camp by the side of the road — worsened as I was in the warm and dry in the company of a loved one, while it was pouring with rain outside. Hunger and deprivation is common despite the fact we live in an abundant world with plenty to go round if we shared. Syria is a long way off, and surely there is little I can do, I mused.

Make your views clear on importance of education The Chancellor, George Osborne, will announce the outcome of the Spending Review on 25 November. The Government has only promised not to cut funding for the NHS, schools and international aid. Meanwhile, education and training for 16 to year-olds is not protected, leaving this age. As a member of the Association of Colleges AoC , we are coming together.

Call them and they will advise you on what to do. Some companies have a dedicated number to call for this. You could also consider changing your number.

If you receive a particularly threatening call you should report it to your local police by dialing The police can authorise the phone service to trace malicious calls.

If the person who is making the calls is prosecuted, you may have to give evidence in court. Silent calls are normally caused by automated caller systems used in call centres.

This stops you receiving calls from UK numbers that have been withheld. They have a directory enquiries service online and over the phone. They also produce a phone book with numbers and addresses listed.

You can sign up to the Ex-Directory scheme, which means your details will not appear anywhere.

To sign up to either scheme or contact BT on RITING about the change in the seasons the other week, one observed that Winter was coming, so it was time for the warm jumpers to be taken out and put on.

However this is Britain, so instead of getting colder and windier, a week of sunshine and warmth followed and we went back to T-shirts and light tops. Especially in print, as reality makes you look silly. So by way of an apology for my mistake, weather forecasts are being handed back to Michael Fish and his successors. While other countries have climate, here we have weather. By contrast, changes in politics, religion or sport can be much touchier subjects. So it was interesting to listen to her views on the contrasts.

Not only between here and Oz, but also between the borough today and the one she recalled from some years back. We love printing your pictures but we wanted to bend the rules to bring you this shot of Beech Hill dusk on Monday. He added that there are no special effects used in this picture, it was just a natural shot. We love to showcase your photos in this space, so please send them in!

She also commented that the average speed along the Reading Road is fast in comparison with Australian main roads. Some of his musings on the difference between the US and the UK are hilarious and printed here with my observations in brackets: The pubs close too early has Scott been to Arkansas at all? The reason they drive on the left is because all their cars are built backwards but at least our dashboards are dashboards and not just 36oz fizzy drink holders Everything is generally older, smaller and shorter but we love Her Maj despite that!

They eat with their forks upside down manners, oh no You put vinegar on them they are CHIPS and we like our vinegar with our crisps Obama is considered a hero, Bush is considered an idiot because that is true Radio is still a big deal. The BBC is quite good because they are both good and your telly is awful, Netflix excepted Cider alcoholic is quite good the only cider is alcoholic, your drink is simply apple juice.

We were in the middle of an Indian summer and were quite warm enough thank you. She pointed out that Brisbane was as far south of the equator as Cairo is north of it. I have to say, like Mary Berry, it brought a tear to my eye when Nadiya won. What a lovely gracious lady with a beautiful family. But crying over cakes? I really need to get over it. Will we get a northern view? But you simply cannot allow an American to get away with criticising our manners! I missed the northern lights on a trip to Iceland a couple of years ago which was devastating mainly because I found Reykjavik expensive, unfriendly and dull.

Even the small ones. Plus, they cost a lot less, in absolute terms as well as relative to earnings. Considerate people, of above average income, able to afford more expensive housing in order to live in an area where children can be better educated. Like all comparisons, this too is subject to change. Tony Johnson is a student of writing, drawing and art history.

He has led and managed change in technology companies to drive growth and profitability. Once a week he joins a team to tidy the gardens of half-a-dozen or so elderly or disabled people — and it gives him so much pleasure. The group helps with gardening chores across Wokingham. If you can play pool, you can be a volunteer! The role involves phone and computer work as the volunteer will be scheduling drivers. They support around clients per.

They are looking for a new Committee member. For a full role description, please get. The commercial break was dominated by a charity unknown to me appealing on behalf of children in some part of Africa. The images were distressing; kids surviving at subsistent level and I was watching them with a cup of tea and slice of cake. I was surprised by this unexpected display of benevolence. My luxurious life not the tea and cake but the benefits of living in a politically stable liberal democracy with all the checks and balances , was being exposed and juxtaposed to these defenceless children who might at any moment be coerced to fight in a civil war.

I asked if she had a strategy for supporting good causes but she did not and this was a spontaneous response to a short distressing appeal. I subsequently spoke to the director of a national charity enabling youth to take purposeful gap years in Latin America and he said this was an excellent tactic for boosting funds and attracting future donors if you can afford to televise your cause.

Charities need to survive too. But I am suspicious. Is it good enough to shell out a small sum if it is simply an emotional response to a manipulative film? The year-old software engineer loves being outdoors and one of his projects has been to make everything in his garden lovely — and now he is helping to do the same for others. He is a founder member and joint co-ordinator of the Holt Copse Conservation Volunteers. They work through the winter months to keep the wildlife haven, on the edge of Joel Park, beautiful for all to enjoy. The scheme offers a basic gardening service for elderly or disabled residents of Wokingham Borough who cannot maintain their own properties, lack a support network to take on the job and lack the financial resources to employ commercial companies.

The services they offer range from grass cutting, strimming, weeding, leaf clearing and pruning. They are looking for a volunteer to help with activities. The volunteer will be required to help run and join in with sessions, such as arts and crafts, IT, playing pool.

It has been shown to slow the normal deterioration expected in mild to moderate dementia. Around 30 local charities will be there to tell you about the fantastic work they do to make Wokingham Borough a better place to live — and how you can get involved.

These are just three of the roles we are recruiting for, but we have more than different roles on our books. I am amazed at this philanthropic dynamic but how will the average family manage if they follow this example? Will they become friends with a guest family sharing the kitchen and other facilities? Even if you house a cardiac surgeon and his family or a lawyer and her family how easily will you adjust your lifestyle to accommodate strong cultural differences?

If this sounds heartless how much more pain will be caused if these differences lead to an acute breakdown in relationships? It is interesting to compare the party speeches of Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May with regard to the realities of what Britain should do. Who is being the most honest with us? I suspect it is much more meaningful to be involved where effort has been made to build trust and commitment in advance. So what do you plan to do? Established for over 25 years, we offer a personalised service with excellent facilities and a dedicated team.

They want you to give up smoking this month — offering support materials to help you reach the day goal.

Fun superheroes gave out gifts of fruit as alternatives to the evil weed, while children received balloons.

This year, it is expected the campaign will welcome the millionth sign-up. This month, the country is being asked to give up cigarettes in favour of a healthy lifestyle — and the borough is playing its part too.

Surely all surgeries should be able to deal with all patients right from childhood up to old-age? Last weekend I found out. I felt like I was a guest at a family reunion. The patients that crossed over between going in for their vaccination and coming out, often recognised each other and stopped for a chat in the waiting room. What struck me was the warm caring friendly environment. It acted as a great tonic for emotional health and well-being.

The atmosphere was contagious — I left Parkside family practice with a smile on my face and a warm sense of contentment. People being genuinely friendly to one another is good for the soul.

She is well-behaved and easy to live with, although can be a little timid at first.

She is not yappy or naughty, and gets on really well with cats and other dogs. Fawn has never lived without the company of other dogs, so preferably she would be home with one of her companions at the shelter, or into a home with an existing dog. He is a cross of two quite lively, feisty breeds, so naturally he is quite a live wire! Buddy is a good boy, but he is still quite young so could do with some more training classes to continue his education. He has not lived with young children or cats before, but is good with other dogs. Buddy is a lovely dog and we are sure he will find his forever home soon.

The set design transforms the performance space into a beautiful garden scene. Complete with trailing roses, stainedglass windows and dusty old flowerpots, the setting transports the audience to the back garden of a tranquil Sussex home. Picturesque on the surface, but with a few weeds lurking beneath, maybe it could be seen as a metaphor for the relationships of the characters. Classic Alan Ayckbourn at his hilarious best, Round and Round the Garden leaves the audience wondering what could possibly be going on in the other two parts of the trilogy, set in the living room and the dining room.
