Card Skimmer Found on Budgens ATM The Wendover Neighbourhood Policing Team is asking residents to be extra vigilant after a card skimming device was found on the cash point outside Budgens in the High Street Wendover

It is unknown how long it has been there for and Officers are working with the staff at Budgens to look through CCTV to try and identify the offenderoffenders

The device was in two parts One was above the screen pointing down towards the keypad This was a piece of plastic the same colour as the machine and it had a very small hole in it and a small camera behind The second part was a piece of plastic which was again the same colour as the machine with a card slot on it which had a small device in it which took the details from any cards This was stuck over the part where you put your card in

If you notice anything suspicious about any of the cash machines then please do not use it inform the shop and call Thames Valley Police on 101

No hands massage at the Belmore Centre The Belmore Centre in Stoke Mandeville has launched a new no hands massage where a specialist masseur masters the unique technique using the forearms elbows knees and even the top of the head to relax rejuvenate and kneed the clientrsquos body and alleviate any client injuries aches or pains

No hands massage is gaining momentum as an increasingly popular form of massage for both the masseur and client because of its reputation as a deeper massage for the client as well as reducing the common occupational injury of painful wrists and thumbs for the therapist The table is often slightly lowered to achieve the best angle whether itrsquos massaging the hips shoulder back or stomach

The Belmore Centrersquos specialist masseur Michelle Callan says ldquoWhat separates this from a conventional massage is the fact it reaches deeper into the muscle using slow movements so you can generally feel the benefits long after your treatmentrdquo

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

Congratulations to both schools - hopefully more pupils will be encouraged to scoot and cycle to school as a result of the Big Pedal event

The Big Pedal is funded by The Bike Hub (wwwbikehubcouk) a cycle industry initiative which invests in projects designed to promote all aspects of cycling

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Card Skimmer Found on Budgens ATM The Wendover Neighbourhood Policing Team is asking residents to be extra vigilant after a card skimming device was found on the cash point outside Budgens in the High Street Wendover

It is unknown how long it has been there for and Officers are working with the staff at Budgens to look through CCTV to try and identify the offenderoffenders

The device was in two parts One was above the screen pointing down towards the keypad This was a piece of plastic the same colour as the machine and it had a very small hole in it and a small camera behind The second part was a piece of plastic which was again the same colour as the machine with a card slot on it which had a small device in it which took the details from any cards This was stuck over the part where you put your card in

If you notice anything suspicious about any of the cash machines then please do not use it inform the shop and call Thames Valley Police on 101

No hands massage at the Belmore Centre The Belmore Centre in Stoke Mandeville has launched a new no hands massage where a specialist masseur masters the unique technique using the forearms elbows knees and even the top of the head to relax rejuvenate and kneed the clientrsquos body and alleviate any client injuries aches or pains

No hands massage is gaining momentum as an increasingly popular form of massage for both the masseur and client because of its reputation as a deeper massage for the client as well as reducing the common occupational injury of painful wrists and thumbs for the therapist The table is often slightly lowered to achieve the best angle whether itrsquos massaging the hips shoulder back or stomach

The Belmore Centrersquos specialist masseur Michelle Callan says ldquoWhat separates this from a conventional massage is the fact it reaches deeper into the muscle using slow movements so you can generally feel the benefits long after your treatmentrdquo

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

on 22 March and the DAMON SINGERS CONCERT on 29 March The fantastic amount of pound846 was raised to go towards buying a new vehicle for the mobile clinic which visits hundreds of men women and children in remote villages in Uganda Many people said how much they had enjoyed these events ndash so look out for them again next year See page 5 for details of events in May

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Card Skimmer Found on Budgens ATM The Wendover Neighbourhood Policing Team is asking residents to be extra vigilant after a card skimming device was found on the cash point outside Budgens in the High Street Wendover

It is unknown how long it has been there for and Officers are working with the staff at Budgens to look through CCTV to try and identify the offenderoffenders

The device was in two parts One was above the screen pointing down towards the keypad This was a piece of plastic the same colour as the machine and it had a very small hole in it and a small camera behind The second part was a piece of plastic which was again the same colour as the machine with a card slot on it which had a small device in it which took the details from any cards This was stuck over the part where you put your card in

If you notice anything suspicious about any of the cash machines then please do not use it inform the shop and call Thames Valley Police on 101

No hands massage at the Belmore Centre The Belmore Centre in Stoke Mandeville has launched a new no hands massage where a specialist masseur masters the unique technique using the forearms elbows knees and even the top of the head to relax rejuvenate and kneed the clientrsquos body and alleviate any client injuries aches or pains

No hands massage is gaining momentum as an increasingly popular form of massage for both the masseur and client because of its reputation as a deeper massage for the client as well as reducing the common occupational injury of painful wrists and thumbs for the therapist The table is often slightly lowered to achieve the best angle whether itrsquos massaging the hips shoulder back or stomach

The Belmore Centrersquos specialist masseur Michelle Callan says ldquoWhat separates this from a conventional massage is the fact it reaches deeper into the muscle using slow movements so you can generally feel the benefits long after your treatmentrdquo

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

Congratulations to both schools - hopefully more pupils will be encouraged to scoot and cycle to school as a result of the Big Pedal event

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Card Skimmer Found on Budgens ATM The Wendover Neighbourhood Policing Team is asking residents to be extra vigilant after a card skimming device was found on the cash point outside Budgens in the High Street Wendover

It is unknown how long it has been there for and Officers are working with the staff at Budgens to look through CCTV to try and identify the offenderoffenders

The device was in two parts One was above the screen pointing down towards the keypad This was a piece of plastic the same colour as the machine and it had a very small hole in it and a small camera behind The second part was a piece of plastic which was again the same colour as the machine with a card slot on it which had a small device in it which took the details from any cards This was stuck over the part where you put your card in

If you notice anything suspicious about any of the cash machines then please do not use it inform the shop and call Thames Valley Police on 101

No hands massage at the Belmore Centre The Belmore Centre in Stoke Mandeville has launched a new no hands massage where a specialist masseur masters the unique technique using the forearms elbows knees and even the top of the head to relax rejuvenate and kneed the clientrsquos body and alleviate any client injuries aches or pains

No hands massage is gaining momentum as an increasingly popular form of massage for both the masseur and client because of its reputation as a deeper massage for the client as well as reducing the common occupational injury of painful wrists and thumbs for the therapist The table is often slightly lowered to achieve the best angle whether itrsquos massaging the hips shoulder back or stomach

The Belmore Centrersquos specialist masseur Michelle Callan says ldquoWhat separates this from a conventional massage is the fact it reaches deeper into the muscle using slow movements so you can generally feel the benefits long after your treatmentrdquo

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Card Skimmer Found on Budgens ATM The Wendover Neighbourhood Policing Team is asking residents to be extra vigilant after a card skimming device was found on the cash point outside Budgens in the High Street Wendover

It is unknown how long it has been there for and Officers are working with the staff at Budgens to look through CCTV to try and identify the offenderoffenders

The device was in two parts One was above the screen pointing down towards the keypad This was a piece of plastic the same colour as the machine and it had a very small hole in it and a small camera behind The second part was a piece of plastic which was again the same colour as the machine with a card slot on it which had a small device in it which took the details from any cards This was stuck over the part where you put your card in

If you notice anything suspicious about any of the cash machines then please do not use it inform the shop and call Thames Valley Police on 101

No hands massage at the Belmore Centre The Belmore Centre in Stoke Mandeville has launched a new no hands massage where a specialist masseur masters the unique technique using the forearms elbows knees and even the top of the head to relax rejuvenate and kneed the clientrsquos body and alleviate any client injuries aches or pains

No hands massage is gaining momentum as an increasingly popular form of massage for both the masseur and client because of its reputation as a deeper massage for the client as well as reducing the common occupational injury of painful wrists and thumbs for the therapist The table is often slightly lowered to achieve the best angle whether itrsquos massaging the hips shoulder back or stomach

The Belmore Centrersquos specialist masseur Michelle Callan says ldquoWhat separates this from a conventional massage is the fact it reaches deeper into the muscle using slow movements so you can generally feel the benefits long after your treatmentrdquo

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

on 22 March and the DAMON SINGERS CONCERT on 29 March The fantastic amount of pound846 was raised to go towards buying a new vehicle for the mobile clinic which visits hundreds of men women and children in remote villages in Uganda Many people said how much they had enjoyed these events ndash so look out for them again next year See page 5 for details of events in May

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Card Skimmer Found on Budgens ATM The Wendover Neighbourhood Policing Team is asking residents to be extra vigilant after a card skimming device was found on the cash point outside Budgens in the High Street Wendover

It is unknown how long it has been there for and Officers are working with the staff at Budgens to look through CCTV to try and identify the offenderoffenders

The device was in two parts One was above the screen pointing down towards the keypad This was a piece of plastic the same colour as the machine and it had a very small hole in it and a small camera behind The second part was a piece of plastic which was again the same colour as the machine with a card slot on it which had a small device in it which took the details from any cards This was stuck over the part where you put your card in

If you notice anything suspicious about any of the cash machines then please do not use it inform the shop and call Thames Valley Police on 101

No hands massage at the Belmore Centre The Belmore Centre in Stoke Mandeville has launched a new no hands massage where a specialist masseur masters the unique technique using the forearms elbows knees and even the top of the head to relax rejuvenate and kneed the clientrsquos body and alleviate any client injuries aches or pains

No hands massage is gaining momentum as an increasingly popular form of massage for both the masseur and client because of its reputation as a deeper massage for the client as well as reducing the common occupational injury of painful wrists and thumbs for the therapist The table is often slightly lowered to achieve the best angle whether itrsquos massaging the hips shoulder back or stomach

The Belmore Centrersquos specialist masseur Michelle Callan says ldquoWhat separates this from a conventional massage is the fact it reaches deeper into the muscle using slow movements so you can generally feel the benefits long after your treatmentrdquo

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

on 22 March and the DAMON SINGERS CONCERT on 29 March The fantastic amount of pound846 was raised to go towards buying a new vehicle for the mobile clinic which visits hundreds of men women and children in remote villages in Uganda Many people said how much they had enjoyed these events ndash so look out for them again next year See page 5 for details of events in May

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Card Skimmer Found on Budgens ATM The Wendover Neighbourhood Policing Team is asking residents to be extra vigilant after a card skimming device was found on the cash point outside Budgens in the High Street Wendover

It is unknown how long it has been there for and Officers are working with the staff at Budgens to look through CCTV to try and identify the offenderoffenders

The device was in two parts One was above the screen pointing down towards the keypad This was a piece of plastic the same colour as the machine and it had a very small hole in it and a small camera behind The second part was a piece of plastic which was again the same colour as the machine with a card slot on it which had a small device in it which took the details from any cards This was stuck over the part where you put your card in

If you notice anything suspicious about any of the cash machines then please do not use it inform the shop and call Thames Valley Police on 101

No hands massage at the Belmore Centre The Belmore Centre in Stoke Mandeville has launched a new no hands massage where a specialist masseur masters the unique technique using the forearms elbows knees and even the top of the head to relax rejuvenate and kneed the clientrsquos body and alleviate any client injuries aches or pains

No hands massage is gaining momentum as an increasingly popular form of massage for both the masseur and client because of its reputation as a deeper massage for the client as well as reducing the common occupational injury of painful wrists and thumbs for the therapist The table is often slightly lowered to achieve the best angle whether itrsquos massaging the hips shoulder back or stomach

The Belmore Centrersquos specialist masseur Michelle Callan says ldquoWhat separates this from a conventional massage is the fact it reaches deeper into the muscle using slow movements so you can generally feel the benefits long after your treatmentrdquo

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

Congratulations to both schools - hopefully more pupils will be encouraged to scoot and cycle to school as a result of the Big Pedal event

The Big Pedal is funded by The Bike Hub (wwwbikehubcouk) a cycle industry initiative which invests in projects designed to promote all aspects of cycling

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Card Skimmer Found on Budgens ATM The Wendover Neighbourhood Policing Team is asking residents to be extra vigilant after a card skimming device was found on the cash point outside Budgens in the High Street Wendover

It is unknown how long it has been there for and Officers are working with the staff at Budgens to look through CCTV to try and identify the offenderoffenders

The device was in two parts One was above the screen pointing down towards the keypad This was a piece of plastic the same colour as the machine and it had a very small hole in it and a small camera behind The second part was a piece of plastic which was again the same colour as the machine with a card slot on it which had a small device in it which took the details from any cards This was stuck over the part where you put your card in

If you notice anything suspicious about any of the cash machines then please do not use it inform the shop and call Thames Valley Police on 101

No hands massage at the Belmore Centre The Belmore Centre in Stoke Mandeville has launched a new no hands massage where a specialist masseur masters the unique technique using the forearms elbows knees and even the top of the head to relax rejuvenate and kneed the clientrsquos body and alleviate any client injuries aches or pains

No hands massage is gaining momentum as an increasingly popular form of massage for both the masseur and client because of its reputation as a deeper massage for the client as well as reducing the common occupational injury of painful wrists and thumbs for the therapist The table is often slightly lowered to achieve the best angle whether itrsquos massaging the hips shoulder back or stomach

The Belmore Centrersquos specialist masseur Michelle Callan says ldquoWhat separates this from a conventional massage is the fact it reaches deeper into the muscle using slow movements so you can generally feel the benefits long after your treatmentrdquo

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

Congratulations to both schools - hopefully more pupils will be encouraged to scoot and cycle to school as a result of the Big Pedal event

The Big Pedal is funded by The Bike Hub (wwwbikehubcouk) a cycle industry initiative which invests in projects designed to promote all aspects of cycling

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Card Skimmer Found on Budgens ATM The Wendover Neighbourhood Policing Team is asking residents to be extra vigilant after a card skimming device was found on the cash point outside Budgens in the High Street Wendover

It is unknown how long it has been there for and Officers are working with the staff at Budgens to look through CCTV to try and identify the offenderoffenders

The device was in two parts One was above the screen pointing down towards the keypad This was a piece of plastic the same colour as the machine and it had a very small hole in it and a small camera behind The second part was a piece of plastic which was again the same colour as the machine with a card slot on it which had a small device in it which took the details from any cards This was stuck over the part where you put your card in

If you notice anything suspicious about any of the cash machines then please do not use it inform the shop and call Thames Valley Police on 101

No hands massage at the Belmore Centre The Belmore Centre in Stoke Mandeville has launched a new no hands massage where a specialist masseur masters the unique technique using the forearms elbows knees and even the top of the head to relax rejuvenate and kneed the clientrsquos body and alleviate any client injuries aches or pains

No hands massage is gaining momentum as an increasingly popular form of massage for both the masseur and client because of its reputation as a deeper massage for the client as well as reducing the common occupational injury of painful wrists and thumbs for the therapist The table is often slightly lowered to achieve the best angle whether itrsquos massaging the hips shoulder back or stomach

The Belmore Centrersquos specialist masseur Michelle Callan says ldquoWhat separates this from a conventional massage is the fact it reaches deeper into the muscle using slow movements so you can generally feel the benefits long after your treatmentrdquo

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

Congratulations to both schools - hopefully more pupils will be encouraged to scoot and cycle to school as a result of the Big Pedal event

The Big Pedal is funded by The Bike Hub (wwwbikehubcouk) a cycle industry initiative which invests in projects designed to promote all aspects of cycling

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Card Skimmer Found on Budgens ATM The Wendover Neighbourhood Policing Team is asking residents to be extra vigilant after a card skimming device was found on the cash point outside Budgens in the High Street Wendover

It is unknown how long it has been there for and Officers are working with the staff at Budgens to look through CCTV to try and identify the offenderoffenders

The device was in two parts One was above the screen pointing down towards the keypad This was a piece of plastic the same colour as the machine and it had a very small hole in it and a small camera behind The second part was a piece of plastic which was again the same colour as the machine with a card slot on it which had a small device in it which took the details from any cards This was stuck over the part where you put your card in

If you notice anything suspicious about any of the cash machines then please do not use it inform the shop and call Thames Valley Police on 101

No hands massage at the Belmore Centre The Belmore Centre in Stoke Mandeville has launched a new no hands massage where a specialist masseur masters the unique technique using the forearms elbows knees and even the top of the head to relax rejuvenate and kneed the clientrsquos body and alleviate any client injuries aches or pains

No hands massage is gaining momentum as an increasingly popular form of massage for both the masseur and client because of its reputation as a deeper massage for the client as well as reducing the common occupational injury of painful wrists and thumbs for the therapist The table is often slightly lowered to achieve the best angle whether itrsquos massaging the hips shoulder back or stomach

The Belmore Centrersquos specialist masseur Michelle Callan says ldquoWhat separates this from a conventional massage is the fact it reaches deeper into the muscle using slow movements so you can generally feel the benefits long after your treatmentrdquo

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

Congratulations to both schools - hopefully more pupils will be encouraged to scoot and cycle to school as a result of the Big Pedal event

The Big Pedal is funded by The Bike Hub (wwwbikehubcouk) a cycle industry initiative which invests in projects designed to promote all aspects of cycling

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

No hands massage at the Belmore Centre The Belmore Centre in Stoke Mandeville has launched a new no hands massage where a specialist masseur masters the unique technique using the forearms elbows knees and even the top of the head to relax rejuvenate and kneed the clientrsquos body and alleviate any client injuries aches or pains

No hands massage is gaining momentum as an increasingly popular form of massage for both the masseur and client because of its reputation as a deeper massage for the client as well as reducing the common occupational injury of painful wrists and thumbs for the therapist The table is often slightly lowered to achieve the best angle whether itrsquos massaging the hips shoulder back or stomach

The Belmore Centrersquos specialist masseur Michelle Callan says ldquoWhat separates this from a conventional massage is the fact it reaches deeper into the muscle using slow movements so you can generally feel the benefits long after your treatmentrdquo

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

Congratulations to both schools - hopefully more pupils will be encouraged to scoot and cycle to school as a result of the Big Pedal event

The Big Pedal is funded by The Bike Hub (wwwbikehubcouk) a cycle industry initiative which invests in projects designed to promote all aspects of cycling

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

The Petitioning Period has arrived 29 April to 23 May The HS2 Hybrid Billrsquos important Second Reading which despite all the evidence against is expected to be passed by a large majority as all three main parties are whipping their MPs is scheduled for on Monday 28 April It will be very interesting to see how our MP David Lidington votes and whether he considers that his position as a Minister in the Government is the most important factor in how he votes

The Wendover HS2 Action Group has already held five public meetings about Petitioning and hundreds of residents organisations and businesses in Wendover Dunsmore and Halton have indicated that they will be Petitioning against the Hybrid Bill The period in which Petitions have to be delivered to the House of Commons is from Tuesday 29 April to Friday 23 May For businesses the period ends on Friday 16 May

Petitioning is the method by which anyone ldquodirectly and specially affectedrdquo by HS2 can send in a written Petition to the House of Commons and it will be considered by the Select Committee considering the Bill If you havenrsquot yet considered Petitioning please do so now and please ask your neighbours to do so This is your last chance to get a better deal for Wendover Halton and Dunsmore That better deal is a bored tunnel right through the Chilterns AONB

We shall be holding a further Drop-In Session at Wendover Library from 2-4pm on Saturday 10 May For help with Petitioning or more information email us at wendoverhs2btinternetcom go to website wwwwendoverhs2wordpresscom or phone 07922 532598 Alternatively contact Antony Chapman on 01296 623730 or at chaphalevalleywanadoocouk or

Ancient woodlands are irreplaceable The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report on High Speed 2 (HS2) calls for the Government to do much more for wildlife and habitats such as ancient woodlands which will be severely damaged by the project Responding to the report Matt Jackson head of conservation strategy at the Berks Bucks amp Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) commented ldquoIt highlights many of the issues wersquore concerned about in the way HS2 is being pushed ahead In our submission to the Environmental Statement BBOWT pointed out all the gaps in the assessment of ecological impacts Now the EAC states HS2 Ltd must carry out outstanding environmental surveys on the 40 of the route yet to be examined In spite of this lack of information MPs are being asked to make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the project when the Hybrid Bill has a second reading on 28 Aprilrdquo

HS2

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

on 22 March and the DAMON SINGERS CONCERT on 29 March The fantastic amount of pound846 was raised to go towards buying a new vehicle for the mobile clinic which visits hundreds of men women and children in remote villages in Uganda Many people said how much they had enjoyed these events ndash so look out for them again next year See page 5 for details of events in May

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

The EAC is also critical of the confusion and states ldquoThe HS2 Environmental Statement must be revised to distinguish clearly between lsquomitigationrsquo and lsquocompensationrsquo measures in respect of biodiversity and to explain the factors determining in which cases these should be applied If biodiversity loss is genuinely unavoidable and also cannot be mitigated compensation should be applied to the fullest extent possiblerdquo

If the Hybrid Bill proceeds a select committee will be formed to hear petitions from members of the public or organisations concerned about specific aspects of the proposals

BBOWT will be petitioning the select committee in respect of the two nature reserves Calvert Jubilee and Finmere Woods which will be directly impacted by HS2 and the wider issues of wildlife and habitats affected along the route

Protecting the Chilterns is number one Minimising the impact of HS2 on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was the greatest single issue of concern to people who responded to the HS2 Environmental Statement says a report by the assessors Golder Associates

The report which was being sent to MPs before the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill on 28

April says that tunnelling was the highest rated issue raised by the 21833 respondents and in particular a demand for a full tunnel under the entire Chilterns AONB

Chiltern Society urged all MPs to stop and think before agreeing to the Second Reading of the Bill which if passed will determine the London to Birmingham route of HS2 across the Chilterns AONB The Society has written to all 650 MPs saying the Bill sets a dangerous precedent for all protected landscapes in Britain The HS2 Environmental Statement paid little or no heed to the fact that AONBs are protected landscapes that require special consideration said Society HS2 spokesman John Gladwin Now the response to the Environmental Statement has shown that protecting AONBs is at the top of the agenda among people concerned about the environmental impact of the railway Parliaments Environmental Audit Committee took on board a number of points raised by the Society and other groups about HS2 proposals Committee chairman Joan Walley concluded The Government needs to show real commitment to dealing with the impact that HS2 will have on our countryside and wildlife Ancient woodlands and other hard to replace sites of natural value should not be subordinated to crude economic calculations of cost and benefit

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

on 22 March and the DAMON SINGERS CONCERT on 29 March The fantastic amount of pound846 was raised to go towards buying a new vehicle for the mobile clinic which visits hundreds of men women and children in remote villages in Uganda Many people said how much they had enjoyed these events ndash so look out for them again next year See page 5 for details of events in May

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

Congratulations to both schools - hopefully more pupils will be encouraged to scoot and cycle to school as a result of the Big Pedal event

The Big Pedal is funded by The Bike Hub (wwwbikehubcouk) a cycle industry initiative which invests in projects designed to promote all aspects of cycling

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

Congratulations to both schools - hopefully more pupils will be encouraged to scoot and cycle to school as a result of the Big Pedal event

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

on 22 March and the DAMON SINGERS CONCERT on 29 March The fantastic amount of pound846 was raised to go towards buying a new vehicle for the mobile clinic which visits hundreds of men women and children in remote villages in Uganda Many people said how much they had enjoyed these events ndash so look out for them again next year See page 5 for details of events in May

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Wendover Youth Forum As readers may be aware the youth forum was commissioned by the Local Area Forum to carry out a local priorities survey The full results can be found on the Wendover News website and Facebook page

The Youth Forum is led by Dave Rollins of Aylesbury Vale Youth For Christ and gathers together young people from the Wendover Deanery Anna Zoe Gavin Sarah and Zac all got involved with the Youth Forum originally through the help of Paul Hammett to help raise funds for the Amazing Donkey Youth Club and for their own personal development

The young people didnrsquot fully realise quite what was involved at the start as their journey took them from speaking to their peers canvassing opinion on youth activities to presenting to Wendover Parish Council At a Produce Market they found the courage to approach a variety of people They all processed the results of the survey together

Becky Murgatroyd the Wendover Youth Centre and St Maryrsquos church youthworker recently caught up with two of the young leaders from Amazing Donkey Youth Club to find out how the process was for them Anna and Zoe found the prospect of meeting with

Parish Council quite daunting whilst feeling very privileged to be invited to present As they completed the different tasks they grew in confidence and awareness of community needs When meeting the girls they talked about the process with excitement and there was a real buzz as they conveyed their experience They felt like had been involved in something bigger than them Both girls really benefited from the process and were glad to make a difference in their community

Wendover Youth Centre WYC held their AGM on 31 March and revealed some exciting new developments

Tony Playle welcomed a healthy number to the proceedings at the Youth Centre and announced that a huge amount of progress had been made since last yearrsquos AGM at which he was inaugurated as Chair of the Trustees

ldquoLast year we announced that Bucks County Council had withdrawn financial support and that we at WYC must stand on our own two feet or face closure We also announced an aspiration to employ a Youth Leader to spearhead the care for Wendoverrsquos youth and we are now two months into Beckyrsquos tenure which has breathed life into the Centre and put flesh on the bones of the Trusteesrsquo vision

ldquoThis has only been made possible by the people of Wendover who answered our plea for support and I would like to thank the LAST LAF Parish Council St Maryrsquos church those who have become lsquoFriends of WYCrsquo Kings Farm and the Shoulder of Mutton and the people of Wendover for contributing to our campaigns and eventsrdquo Following the financial report Tony introduced new Youth Leader Becky Murgatroyd who in turn introduced some of the young people she has been working with Mark Anna and Sarah spoke enthusiastically about the Duke of Edinburgh Award training and the many other activities that their three respective youth clubs allowed them to experience After a presentation from Premier Sport who now base themselves at the Centre and run beforeafter school activities and holiday clubs a further appeal for sponsorship was announced to build upon the success of the last year - please contact martinwyccomuk or call 07742 689930 WYC have announced that they will be throwing their doors open on 25 May for the day of the Wendover Celebrates event so if you are planning a party why not pop in and see if the Centre fits your needs

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

Congratulations to both schools - hopefully more pupils will be encouraged to scoot and cycle to school as a result of the Big Pedal event

The Big Pedal is funded by The Bike Hub (wwwbikehubcouk) a cycle industry initiative which invests in projects designed to promote all aspects of cycling

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

The Big Pedal 2014 After reading about The Big Pedal in a recent edition of Wendover News Get Wendover Cycling decided to find out how well local schools performed The Big Pedal is a national competition designed to encourage children to scoot or cycle to school Information on the organisers website shows that in their category (primary schools with more than 150 pupils) the John Hampden Infant School scored 23147 points and was the top school in Buckinghamshire and 127th nationally Wendover C of E Junior school having fewer pupils were lower down the table but with a magnificent 18197 points

Congratulations to both schools - hopefully more pupils will be encouraged to scoot and cycle to school as a result of the Big Pedal event

The Big Pedal is funded by The Bike Hub (wwwbikehubcouk) a cycle industry initiative which invests in projects designed to promote all aspects of cycling

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

on 22 March and the DAMON SINGERS CONCERT on 29 March The fantastic amount of pound846 was raised to go towards buying a new vehicle for the mobile clinic which visits hundreds of men women and children in remote villages in Uganda Many people said how much they had enjoyed these events ndash so look out for them again next year See page 5 for details of events in May

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

could be encouraged in Wendover ndash at the same time as making Wendover a safer place for everyone For example it would be helpful if the High Street had a 20MPH limit combined with traffic calming (A survey conducted by GWC indicated strong support for this) Some time ago the John Hampden School supported by the Junior School prepared plans for a boardwalk across the canal hence providing access to the school campus via Victory Road This would have enabled cyclists scooters and parents with buggies to avoid Wharf Road In the April issue of the newsletter there is a request from the schools to parents and carers to park away from the school entrance and not to drive onto the campus There are plans to implement this regime The schools like GWC want to encourage walking and cycling We would be pleased to welcome as members anyone who wishes to support us in striving to achieve these objectives

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

That Headache Can Ruin Your Life Doctors estimate that between 17 and 4 of the worldrsquos adult population spend half their lives suffering from a headache Most of us donrsquot undergo such extreme discomfort but we all get them sometimes while migraines tension and cluster headaches in particular can make life difficult to bear The standard treatment is to take an analgesic and soldier on but this doesnrsquot address the root cause

ldquoMany people who suffer from persistent headaches can be helped by a whole range of undervalued treatments ranging from lavender essential oils to stopping chewing gumrdquo says Julia Simms a local practitioner of the McTimoney method of chiropractic body alignment ldquoMany of my patients find that trigger point therapy reduces headache pain and recent research suggests an astonishing 71 benefit The study also indicates that patients experienced a 59 reduction in neck pain symptoms as well as improved range of motion and muscle functionrdquo

Chiropractors use trigger point therapy to relieve hyperirritable spots of pain located in taut bands of skeletal muscles And todayrsquos sedentary lifestyles in front of computer screens make those conditions increasingly common Of course itrsquos important to speak to your doctor about these treatments if yoursquore suffering from

persistent headache but a chiropractor can effectively use spinal adjustments along with other drug-free complementary therapies to ease headaches safely But headaches are not the only conditions chiropractic can help ldquoMost people have the idea that c h i r o p r a c t i c i s exclusively about the spinerdquo says Julia ldquobut t h i s i s a misapprehension While correct alignment of the spine is a key aspect of the treatment it goes much further than that promoting not just absence of pain but a positive sense of physical emotional and mental wellbeing The more balanced the body is the better it will cope with the stresses of daily living as well as handling any unexpected traumas that inevitably come our way Also as well as relieving pain conditions a growing body of research suggests spinal manipulative therapy can improve immunity by increasing the production of tiny cells called leukocytes which support the white blood cells in fighting off a threatrdquo Julia Simms is a McTimoney Chiropractor based in the Wendover area She can be contacted on 07922 600004 or email jsimmsmailcom See advert on page 17

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

on 22 March and the DAMON SINGERS CONCERT on 29 March The fantastic amount of pound846 was raised to go towards buying a new vehicle for the mobile clinic which visits hundreds of men women and children in remote villages in Uganda Many people said how much they had enjoyed these events ndash so look out for them again next year See page 5 for details of events in May

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

on 22 March and the DAMON SINGERS CONCERT on 29 March The fantastic amount of pound846 was raised to go towards buying a new vehicle for the mobile clinic which visits hundreds of men women and children in remote villages in Uganda Many people said how much they had enjoyed these events ndash so look out for them again next year See page 5 for details of events in May

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Wendover Theatre Society AGM The annual general meeting of Wendover Theatre Society will take place on Monday 12 May in Wendover Memorial Hall at 800 pm As this may be the last meeting of the Society you are strongly urged to attend

At present the Committee of the Society feels that the Society is unable to continue due to a lack of a full production team for the next pantomime The pantomime is the lifeblood of the Society as it brings in funds to support other productions throughout the year I understand

that there were informal offers of help with the pantomime from a number of people who attended the recent one act play performances on 4 amp 5 April It is vital that they make themselves known to me by email and the role(s) in a production team they would be happy taking on prior to the AGM whether they are able to attend the AGM or not We have had volunteers for several roles but we desperately need a Director Other roles we would like to fill are Lighting Designer Sound Designer Properties Manager Publicity Manager Administration Manager Choreographer Singing Coach If anyone requires further information on what each role entails they can contact me on 01296 613469

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

on 22 March and the DAMON SINGERS CONCERT on 29 March The fantastic amount of pound846 was raised to go towards buying a new vehicle for the mobile clinic which visits hundreds of men women and children in remote villages in Uganda Many people said how much they had enjoyed these events ndash so look out for them again next year See page 5 for details of events in May

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Introducing the Directors of

Emma Carroll Emma helped to set up Wendover Celebrates back in 2011 as a representative of Wendover Parish Council She has been a Director of the company from the start believing that ldquoWendover has a thriving community culture Wendover Celebrates is a showcase of what Wendover can achieve when everyone works togetherrdquo There is still time just to book in your team of Lords Knights or Ladies for itrsquos a knockout wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml Emma juggles voluntary commitments with the Parish Council Wendover Junior School and Wendover Celebrates with the demands of two small children (and a husband)

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

David Honeyball David Honeyball was recruited as a director of Wendover Celebrates in late 2013 having cut his teeth with fork and tongs manning the barbecue at the first Wendover Celebrates event This year he is responsible for two of his loves ndash food and drink As Club Welfare Officer for Wendover Cricket Club he thanks the committee and members of the club for supporting Wendover Celebrates again Wendover Celebrates is only possible thanks to all the volunteers who get involved on the day If you are able to help us at this yearrsquos event please email volunteerswendovercelebratesorguk and wersquoll be in touch

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

Robert Duggan Robert Duggan has lived in Wendover for over thirty years and remembers with fondness the carnivals of yesteryear Raising funds for charitable causes is something Robert feels strongly about He is a Governor of the South central Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust and current chairman of Wendover Parish Council so his support for Wendover Celebrates and Emma and the team is without question In 2012 one of his main responsibilities was the magnificent Parade and he would like to better that this time If yoursquod like to take part in the 2014 parade please contact paradewendovercelebratesorguk for full details

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

New Yearrsquos Eve Rebuttal In your February edition on the Wendover Parish Council page the Council says ldquoIn a meeting with Thames Valley Police and AVDC it was highlighted to the Parish Council that the New Yearrsquos Eve Anti-social Behaviour problem is worse in Wendover than in Aylesbury and seems to be increasing each yearrdquo A Freedom of Information request has elicited the following numbers of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour on New Yearrsquos Eve Aylesbury Town Wendover 200910 18 3 201011 15 2 201112 15 3 201213 18 2 It would seem from this that neither of the above comments are true as the problem is not worse in Wendover and the figures are not increasing

Antony Chapman Reply from Wendover PC The Council has spoken to TVP about the original statement they made in the meeting and they stand by this opinion adding ldquoRecorded incidents are not always a good indicator of what is actually happeningrdquo

Bega kwa Bega News A very big thank you to everyone who supported Bega Kwa Bega at the BARN DANCE

on 22 March and the DAMON SINGERS CONCERT on 29 March The fantastic amount of pound846 was raised to go towards buying a new vehicle for the mobile clinic which visits hundreds of men women and children in remote villages in Uganda Many people said how much they had enjoyed these events ndash so look out for them again next year See page 5 for details of events in May

Cycling on Footpaths I refer to the two letters in the April newsletter Cycling on footpaths is not legal if the paths are not signed as shared Pedestrians and cyclists need to be considerate to each other On shared paths pedestrians need to be aware that cyclists may overtake them and allow for this while cyclists need to exercise due care when overtaking

It is important that cycling should be encouraged in Wendover so as to reduce car use as far as possible ndash this would be of benefit to us all and is the sole aim of Get Wendover Cycling There are a number of ways in which cycling

Ami Lewsley I feel very honoured to be involved in such a big event Last time I was a Committee Member which seemed full on but now as a Director it is very stressful and many hours of hard work go into it but I know when the day comes it will all be worth it I grew up in Wendover and Irsquom bringing up my children here too I feel itrsquos definitely a place to celebrate Itrsquos amazing what we can create with the support of the community and local businesses and I cant explain how grateful we are to those who support us Itrsquos great that there are more tickets for the evening event this year wwwwendovercelebratesorgukticketshtml

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested

View From The Chair As we near the end of the Parish Year I would like to thank all staff and Councillors for their support and help not forgetting the two Councillors who resigned We have achieved many positive things over the last year and one of the best was the appointment of our clerk Charlotte I would like to publicly thank her for all her hard work and endeavour

The Clock Tower repairs are underway and the plan is for all works to be complete by Wendover Celebrates on 25 May

Many congratulations to Dolly Saville I hope that Dolly enjoys her day as much as everybody has enjoyed preparing for her very special celebration

Car parking is still high on the agenda Constructive discussions have been taking place with AVDC and will continue

Plans for commemorating WW1 are also underway An open meeting will take place on 30 April and as soon as plans have been firmed up they will be published

The Parish Council has decided on the points it wishes to emphasise for the Petition against the HS2 Hybrid Bill currently going through Parliament Discussions continue with the Wendover Society Halton PC and Action Against HS2 the Petition will be submitted shortly

Robert Duggan Chairman

Dolly Saville Freeman of Wendover Dolly is the first person ever to be given the status of Freeman of Wendover and everyone Councillors and staff would like to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday Dolly was presented with the ldquoKey of Wendoverrdquo which was lovingly made by our Chairman during her Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 19 April We were pleased to put out the flags for the wonderful celebrations

Happy Birthday Dolly

Councillor Co-option We still need another Councillor but unfortunately the two people who did not win the election have not put themselves forward for co-option Everyone has the right to call an election but should be aware that the cost to the Parish Council was pound348782 We hope to have more interest from individuals for a co-option in June currently we only have one candidate Please consider joining us we are a dedicated group of local people working for the Community

Hanging Baskets Last year the flower baskets in the High Street were a great success hopefully to be repeated this year They should be put up in May once there is no further risk of frost

Clock Tower Progress Now that the scaffolding is erected the builders and conservation experts have been able to thoroughly inspect the damaged structure for the first time and the news is good Much of the damage can be repaired using tried and tested methods that donrsquot require the drastic dismantling that was at first thought necessary This means that the project will proceed to schedule and that budget over-runs should be avoided In fact we might find a small saving results from this new approach

There was a concern that we may have bats in the belfry which could have delayed the start of the work but that has proved to be unfounded

The Clerk has now relocated to a small office above Twist should you need to visit please telephone first and make an appointment The phone number is the same The CIO office has relocated to the Library

Defibrillators There are a number of defibs already in Wendover apart from the two being installed at each end of the High Street If you know of any please tell us their location so we can produce an up-to-date list

Allotments With the allotment year just beginning now is an ideal time to get started Three allotments have become available please contact the Clerkrsquos office if you are interested
