Chinese visitors are ‘wowed’ by North Devon

North Devon could expect an increase in

Chinese visitors this summer following a visit by

the Chinese media. In April, North Devon

Council’s economic development team hosted a

visit by a team of five Chinese journalists to

promote the area as a tourist and English

language school destination.

The visit was funded by the South West Tourism Growth Fund, a

government initiative to attract more overseas visitors to the South

West.

The journalists, from publications including Shanghai Morning Post and

the Beijing Times, spent one of their five days in North Devon before

moving on to Plymouth, Bournemouth, Exeter and Bristol.

The group spent the night at The Habit boutique hotel in Ilfracombe

before taking in the harbour, Verity, St Nicholas Chapel and enjoying an

ice cream on the seafront. Next on the agenda was a trip to Country

Cousins language school in Bicclescombe Park and then on to meet a

host family. The group then moved on to Woolacombe and North

Devon School of English in Barnstaple, concluding with a town heritage

tour.

Councillor Pat Barker, Executive Member for Economic Development at

North Devon Council, said: “It’s really exciting to think about the impact

this visit could have on North Devon’s tourism. Their papers have huge

circulation in China and they have literally hundreds of thousands of

followers on social media. Everywhere they went that day, they were

taking photos and tweeting about their experience and our team

received some great feedback from them. I’m really pleased we were

successful in our request for them to visit our district and I hope they

tell everyone in China what we already know – that North Devon is

fantastic!”

Devon, visit www.country-cousins.com or www.ndse.co.uk

North Devon car park charges increased

Charges for North Devon Council owned car parks

increased in May following a district-wide review of

parking. The charges have been reviewed as part of

a strategy to ease congestion and simplify the cost of

parking across the district. The main changes are:

all car parks will be charged from 8am to 6pm

a 10p per hour increase in short stay car parks, rising to 20p per

hour increase after four hours

some car parks will no longer be covered by new long stay permits

long stay car park charges will increase by 10p per day

long stay car parks will be free on Sundays

North Devon Council Leader, Councillor Des Brailey, said: “Putting our

parking charges up is not a decision we’ve taken lightly. The charges have

remained the same for six years with the running costs steadily increasing

year on year.”

Hello Readers,

This month I am going to talk briefly about internet speeds.

I have covered this a little previously, but today we will talk about the

different types and how to check if you are getting what you pay for. So,

firstly, do you know what your connection speed should be? At work we

have Fibre Optic and at home we have ADSL, and we get simultaneous

upload and download of 100 Mbps. Your standard home connection

generally doesn't deliver that, eg you may get up to 20 Mbps and an upload

of 2. So when you run a speed test it should say 20 Mpbs download and 2

Mbps upload. How do you check? Go to www.speedtest.net and run the

test.

You can also check your local exchange to find out the different type of

connection you may be able to get, eg https://www.samknows.com/ click on

“UK Broadband availability” in the blue box at the top and then from the left

side “Exchange search” then type your town name and see what you get. If

you are not getting the speed you are paying for contact your provider and

ask for some help as they may be able to resolve it. However, be aware,

they often use the term “up to”. So you will get UP TO 20 Mbps.

Don't be afraid to change companies either. You can get some great deals

now for the internet but you will have to shop around. Check

http://www.uswitch.com/broadband/ for a better idea what you can get in

your area. Be careful about the contract length as they tend to try and push

an 18 month contract now which you may not want to be signed up to.

The best thing I can suggest is for you to ask your neighbours and friends

locally. They will probably have horror stories but you may also find

someone who is delighted with the service, speed and reliability. And don’t

be afraid to ask providers for more information, eg price guarantees, speed,

reliability and uptime promises. If you are having major problems, you have

made a complaint, and you still don’t have a solution, contact OFCOM

http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/complain/phone-and-broadband-complaints/

Next month I am going to talk about WiFi repeaters and how systems can

be improved to give better coverage. As usual, if you have any questions,

please send me an email, Andy at [email protected]

JUNE 2016 29 LEISURE AND COMMUNITY


Police Notes - June

Be aware Scammers are out Be suspicious of all

„too good to be true‟ offers and deals. Do not agree to

offers or deal immediately, insist on time to obtain

independent/legal advice before making a decision. Do

not hand over money or sign anything until you have

checked the credentials of the company or individual. Never send money to anyone

you do not know or trust, whether in the UK or abroad, or use methods of payment

that you are not comfortable with. Never give banking or personal details to anyone

you do not know or trust. Always log on to a website directly rather than clicking on

links provided in an email. Do not rely solely on glowing testimonials, find solid

independent evidence of a company‟s success. Always get independent/legal advice if

an offer involves money, time or commitment. Do not be embarrassed to report a

scam, because the scammers are cunning and clever there is no shame in being

deceived.

The Brendon Sing takes place at the

Stag Hunters Inn on the

3rd Saturday of each month.

The Brendon Sing has become something

of an institution on Exmoor. It is not a club,

or a formally organised event, other than the

fact that it happens on the 3rd Saturday of

each month, and has done for more than 40

years. Local folk, visitors, and friends who

travel often considerable distances, come to

join in. Over the years many characters have

shared their wares with us, some sadly no

longer here, and the booklet which is for sale

will, I hope, go a way to keep alive a few of

the songs, and the memories. Thank you.

Martyn Babb

All the money from the sale of the songbook will go to

support the “BRENDON DEFIBRILLATOR

FUND” and The E.N.P.A. Trust “CAREMOOR”.

Production costs of the booklet have been met thanks

to the support of the Exmoor National Park’s Lynton

Pavilion Heritage Project.

Open from 17 May to 10 September Tuesday to Saturday 10.30am to 5.00pm

Pleasure Dome Theatre launches this

summer bringing exceptional open-air

entertainment to The Valley of the Rocks

Macbeth 2nd to 20th August

What do we want to do? The aim of Pleasure Dome Theatre is to bring exceptional

open-air entertainment to both the community and holiday makers of Exmoor. We are

an artistic collective who aim to utilise the dramatic and beautiful scenery of The Valley of

The Rocks near Lynton, making Exmoor a cultural destination as well as a tourist hub. We

will provide outreach programmes and will offer local opportunities to work within a

professional company to aspiring youngsters and enthusiastic older members of the locale

alike.

This is the first time that Lynton Council has given permission for a production of this

nature to be performed at The Valley of The Rocks. For our first production this summer

2016 we aim to use 7 actors multi-rolling to tell the story of Shakespeare's Macbeth, the

themes of which, specifically ambition and greed, have never been more timely.

The production will run from 2nd August until 20th at 7:30pm with no shows on Mondays

and Sunday matinees at 3:00 with concessionary rates.

The energy and enthusiasm radiated by James Tucker is enough to

power a small town. However, he has chanelled it into giving us a fantastic

week starting with the vintage car rally on the Manor Green on June 11. The

Town Hall is also hosting an incredible Pink Floyd tribute band: 'I Floyd' there

are still a few tickets left for this but they are going fast so rock down to the

'Studio' while they still have some left. But that's not all! Several venues have

some great bands lined up including the 'Crown', the 'Bath Hotel', The 'Village

Inn', the 'Cottage' and, of course, 'Old Geezer, Plays Guitar' who will be

busking all over the flippin' place. Rumour has it that spending the winter

playing with himself at home has resulted in him inventing mistakes in all bits

of his song. (He's revolutionising the busker scene by asking people to give

him money NOT to play.) He is hoping that he can raise a vast sum of money

by agreeing not even to appear in public with or without his guitar. Long

suffering wife, Ivy says 'I don't want him hanging around the house getting

bored' and suggests that he should be paid to play on Lundy where he will

doubtless cause the rats to hurl themselves off the towering cliffs in a

desperate attempt to escape their tormentor.

I hope I'm not going on too much about Razor down at the 'Village'

but I really feel he deserves yet another mention for the sheer hard work,

energy and vast amount of money that he is putting behind our amazing music

scene. Over the last few weeks we have been treated to some great bands

such as 'Lion Star Reggae','Reigning Dogs' and 'Old Number Seven'. He is

keeping up the pace right through the summer and has got some great bands

lined up for us.

I really enjoyed 'Old Number Seven' They are fronted by an amazing

girl singer who, together with a superb jazz influenced guitarist and an expert

rhythm section made every song sound fresh and exciting. They completely

contradicted those bigotted critics who think a song should be played as near

as possible to the original. They showed that a true artist uses the subject to

express himself through, and adding something to the song in the process.

The best ever jazz singer, Ella Fitzgerald, always performed songs written by

other people. One of the greatest and most prolific songwriters, Cole Porter,

once said that he had never realised just how good his songs were until he

heard Ella sing them.

As a Marie Curie Nursing team member in Bristol and Somerset I am grateful

for the fundraising efforts of your readers which enable me and my colleagues

to help more people living with a terminal illness, and their families. I want to

ask if your readers will continue this support by hosting their own Blooming

Great Tea Party for Marie Curie between 20-29 June.

To date, Blooming Great Tea Party events across the UK have raised over

£4.5 million since the campaign started in 2008. By hosting a Blooming Great

Tea Party this summer you will be helping Marie Curie Nurses like me to

provide more hands-on care and vital emotional support. With your backing

we can do more, for more of the families who need us.

Please register to host your Blooming Great Tea Party at

www.mariecurie.org.uk/teaparty or call 0800 716 146. Share your ideas and

photos on social media using #Blooming Great. Thank you for your support.

The next event to be held at the Centre is a Spring Activity

Afternoon on Thursday 2nd June from 12:00 till 3:00 when there will

be a variety of activities for children to enjoy, including pony rides for

anyone age 4 or above. If the weather is not friendly, everything will take

The ponies are preparing for lots of promotional events throughout the

summer: pony Tom started his offsite duties on Saturday 7th May when he

joined author Victoria Eveleigh to launch her new book, Katy’s Pony

Summer, at South Molton Library to the excitement of many children.

Some of you may have seen on local TV news that a man called Michael

Woodcock, a retired solicitor, is planning an ambitious feat for this

summer. Having sat on a pony for the first time at the age of 69 at the

Exmoor Pony Centre, he decided to learn how to ride and aims to take

part in the Exmoor Pony Society’s Working Hunter Class at Dunster

Country Fair on Wednesday 27th July when he will be 73. He has a

page on Facebook: Michael Woodcock -Exmoor Pony and importantly a

Just Giving page where supporters can donate:

www.justgiving.com/michael-woodcock-exmoor-pony or you can find the

link through the website www.moorlandmousietrust.org.uk Do support

him and the ponies if you possibly can, either in advance or on the day

North Devon Hospice benefits from recycling scheme

The North Devon Crematorium has secured a

donation for North Devon Hospice, thanks to its

role in a national recycling scheme. The hospice is

set to receive £4,444 from the proceeds of the

scheme, which enables metals from cremated

remains to be safely recycled. The scheme is run

by the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management and is only

carried out with the consent of the bereaved. As well as generating funds

for charitable giving the scheme also helps to reduce harmful pollutants

being buried in the ground.

North Devon Hospice is a local charity providing specialist care and

support to patients and families affected by cancer or other life-limiting

illnesses. More information about the charity can be found on their

website.

Hayfever Season Yes it’s that time of year again when, for some, the suffering begins.

However, you don’t need to see the doctor for hayfever symptoms or for medication

prescriptions. Pharmacies are able to give advice and many treatments are available over

the counter for little cost.

Ticks Ticks carry a bacterial infection that can lead to Lyme disease, although this is

very rare. Be aware of symptoms of Lyme disease as it can be serious if it is left

untreated. If you have been bitten by a tick, it should be removed as soon as possible.

Symptoms of Lyme disease can be present up to a year after the initial contact. If you

have any concerns then please phone the surgery or see our Minor Injuries Unit.

Updating our Records We are currently reviewing our patient contact information in

order to improve the way we communicate. When visiting the surgery we would be

grateful if you could provide us with any mobile phone numbers and email addresses you

have so that we can ensure our information is correct. We are looking to use text

messaging and emails for health promotion and reminders so please let us know if you

DO NOT wish us to contact you in this way.

Photographs We now have the ability to attach a photograph to our patient records

which can be extremely helpful in ensuring the correct patient is sitting in front of the

Clinician, particularly when patients have similar or, in some cases, the same name. This

facility has been hugely successful in areas where patients are not as well known to their

GP in reducing fraudulent access. We are still exploring how we can facilitate obtaining a

photo but if you would like to lead the way you can email a photo of yourself to

[email protected] as an attachment along with your name, address and date of

birth.
