(Submitted photo) Eighty drivers face £100 fines from crash site Police to prosecute M40 rubberneckers By Ben Lugg [email protected] FRIENDS who met at a local football club are cycling 400 miles across four countries for an ex-teammate who has cancer. Sam Canty, Joe Weston and Matt Wells — three of Matt Bates’ close mates — are riding from Central Ajax Football Club, in Warwick, to Ajax Amsterdam Football Club, in the Netherlands, after the 26-year-old was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of kidney cancer. The ride — dubbed Ajax To Ajax — will begin on Easter Monday, 28th March, after a football match at the Hampton Road club and ends six days later at Ajax’s Dutch League game with Zwolle. Along the way, the trio will also stop off at Wembley to watch England take on the Netherlands in a Euro 2016 warm-up match. Matt, from Whitnash, had successful surgery in October 2014 to remove an 11cm tumour from his right kidney as well as 11 lymph nodes. However, six months later the cancer returned and has since spread to his lung, spine and adrenal gland. He is currently undergoing immunotherapy treatment called IL-2 in Manchester. The football match will kick off at 11am and be open to the public with food and refreshments available, before the trio will set off on the ride with the help of three other friends in a support vehicle. They are aiming to keep people up to date on their travels via their Twitter account — @AjaxtoAjaxCycle — and Facebook page — Ajax to Ajax Cycle. Sam, 27, said: “We wanted to fundraise in a way that was memorable and special to everyone involved. It was the club that brought us all together again when we started coaching, so revolving the ride around Ajax seemed like an obvious decision.” Matt, a former journalist, who spent a short time working at the Stratford Midweek and Herald, added: “We will never stop looking for ways to beat my cancer — whether that be in the UK or abroad — and will try anything that can give me a half a chance. “To have the financial support to make that possible means a lot to both me and my family. Any money left over at the end of my treatment will be given to charity.” Mark Thomas Jewellers MARCH MADNESS EIGHTY motorists caught using their mobile the crash site on Friday, with some almost coming to a as they took pictures and videos, according to phones at the scene of a serious traffic collision on standstill police. the M40 last week are to face legal action. And Warwickshire Police has confirmed that they are The drivers were spotted using their phones while passing preparing a mass summons which would relate to drivers not being in control of their vehicles. The letters inform offending motorists that they may be summonsed to court, or face a fine of £100 and penalty points. Inspector Lucy Sewell said: “On Friday, 11th March, Warwickshire Police observed 80 drivers taking pictures of an overturned lorry that collided with the support pillar of a bridge at junction 16 of the M40. “We would like to remind people that it is an offence to use a handheld device such as a phone while driving, it distracts you and greatly reduces your reaction time. “In this case, it made the Saturday 26th March from 1-4pm step back in time and enjoy our home-made already severe delays even worse for drivers behind afternoon tea to include; tea or coffee, sandwiches, scones with them.

Trampoline arena set to create 70 new jobs SEVENTY jobs will be created when a trampoline arena opens in Warwick later this year. Jump In in Hermes Close on Tachbrook Park is the company’s second site, and is expected to open in May. The first opened in Slough last year with two more set to open elsewhere in the country in the coming year. As well as the trampolines for 150 people, the centre will have party and conference facilities. Trampoline parks have been described as the latest phenomenon to hit the UK. Warwick’s will have 3D Dodgeball, a kids’ zone, foam pits, tumble tracks, and a huge main court where people can jump freely between interconnected trampolines, and literally bounce off the walls. Gavin Lucas, Jump In’s chief executive officer, said: “Jumping is great fun and happens to be great for your health too “We place a focus on providing a safe, clean, affordable and family-friendly environment that set our parks apart, and keeps people coming back.” Police complete 47 Clare’s Law checks A LAW that was introduced to protect men and women from domestic violence and abuse has been used 47 times since being introduced two years ago by people questioning a partner’s past. The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (DVDS) is more commonly know as Clare’s Law, named after Clare Wood, from Manchester, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend in February 2009 whom she didn’t know about his history of violence against women.

In the last two years 53 people in Warwickshire have used their right to ask the police whether a new or existing partner — either their own or a friend or relative’s — may have a violent past and 47 disclosures have been made. Forty eight of the applications have been made by women and five by men. Detective Superintendent Steve Eccleston, of Warwickshire Police, said: “This is an opportunity for you to take back control and make the right decision on whether you are at any risk by staying in that relationship.” Warwickshire Against Domestic Abuse support line is 0800 408 1552. Shoplifting heads poll SHOPLIFTING in Stratford town centre and more patrols to deal with traffic offences currently lead a public poll that will set the priorities of the town’s Safer Neighbourhood Police Team. Also on the shortlist is anti-social behaviour in Windsor Street Car park, cycle thefts, speed checks on Evesham Road, crime prevention surgeries and parking issues in New Street, Tiddington.

It was taken by Simon Blinkhorne, from Stratford, using a quadcopter, and shows the boat club, cricket club, bowls club and much of the Rec and the children’s play area under several metres of water as the Avon peaked at almost four times its normal level. See www.stratford-herald.com for video footage also filmed by Simon before the flood waters subsided. AN elderly woman had to be rescued from her caravan on the banks of the River Avon in Stratford last Thursday evening as flash floods submerged parts of the district. Firefighters were called to the caravan in Tiddington where the home of the woman in her 80s was surrounded by rising water. A specialist boat crew was called in to pluck her to safety. She was checked by paramedics and booked into a local hotel. River levels returned to normal over the weekend following Tuesday night’s heavy rain, although Stratford Racecourse had to cancel yesterday’s preCheltenham race day.

Year in prison for car dealer CAR dealer conman Alexander Harvey has been sentenced to one year in prison and a mechanic he used, Amit Mistry, to six months after an investigation by Warwickshire Trading Standards into the sale of dodgy vehicles. Harvey, 28, formerly trading as Alex Harvey Specialist Cars, Priors Marston, had pleaded guilty at Warwick Crown Court to numerous charges that related to clocking and misdescribing cars, forging documents, failing to provide vehicles that were roadworthy, failing to respond promptly to complaints by unsatisfied customers and failing to carry out proper checks on the history of the vehicles being offered for sale Mistry, 38, of Timkin Way, Daventry, admitted to fabricating or altering vehicle documents. Cllr John Horner, Warwickshire County Council’s portfolio holder for community safety, said: “This was a very serious case whereby consumers, some of whom had saved long and hard to afford a car, were defrauded out of many thousands of pounds.” Market site housing up for approval A HOUSING development on the former Stratford cattle market looks likely to get the go ahead tomorrow night, Wednesday. Stratford District Council’s west area planning committee has been advised by planning officers to approve plans for 189 homes, including 58 available to buy on the open market, eight for shared ownership, and 21 through affordable rent. There will also be 102 independent living apartments for shared ownership and rent. Also on the site will be a play area, pocket park, café and retail unit. Work could start as soon as spring next year, if the planning application is approved. Tour looms THE countdown is well underway to the arrival of the Aviva Women’s Cycling Tour. Last Tuesday, 8th March, marked 100 days until some of the world’s best female cyclists race through Warwickshire. Stage two of the five-day tour ends in Stratford town centre on Thursday, 16th June.

The pub will be back open for business when it is recreated during the Easter school holidays as a precursor to Birthday Weekend Celebrations. Visitors will meet innkeepers as they go about their daily lives running the tavern’s drinking parlour and lodging rooms, and discover Tudor tavern ale-brewing techniques. Other special activities planned by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust include decorating their Easter eggs as a character from Shakespeare’s plays at Mary Arden’s Farm in Wilmcote. At Anne Hathaway’s Cottage in Shottery you can meet some of the Victorian descendents of Shakespeare’s wife and discover more about the characters who once lived in the cottage, home to 13 generations of Hathaways.

IN BRIEF Council house first THE first new homes to be built for Warwick District Council this century have been completed. There are 21 properties in Great Field Drive on Taylor Wimpey’s Chase Meadow development, six of which are for rent by the council and 15 for shared ownership. All have now been allocated and the residents have moved in. Cllr Peter Phillips, the council’s portfolio holder for housing, said: “These homes are a great landmark for Warwick residents.” Raising funds for the needs of local children FORMERLY AT THE STRATFORD GARDEN CENTRE ARE NOW AT THE MALT HOUSE BARN BARTON NR BIDFORD ON AVON SATNAV B50 4NP TEL 01789 778188 1 MILE FROM BIDFORD ON AVON 25 YARDS FROM THE COTTAGE OF CONTENT PUB PARKING IS FREE www.alexanderandwhite.com • Clay & Block • Paving • • Tarmacing (red or black) • • Patios • • Brickwork • • Slabbing • Gravel T: T: T: M: Landscaping Fencing Property Repairs Roofing Repairs Driveway Maintenance (Pressure cleaning and sealing - weed free 0121 733 1463 01926 827 645 01789 270 869 07799 428 557 WE ARE FULLY INSURED TO WORK AROUND YOUR PROPERTY E: [email protected] W: www.dimensiondriveways.co.uk FIND US IN: LOOK LOCAL / YELLOW PAGES / THOMPSONS LOCAL 4200 WATERSIDE CENTRE, SOLIHULL PARKWAY, BIRMINGHAM BUSINESS PARK, BIRMINGHAM B37 7YN Tuesday, 15th March, 2016 Archie Emerson, six, and Natalie Page, eight, with Tommy the tortoise at Tysoe’s Messy Church.

He attracted a gathering of around 30 people to an afternoon of spring-themed crafts, Mother’s Day gift making, a talk from a local vet and outdoor play time in the forest school at Winchcombe Farm Day Nursery in Upper Tysoe. The Messy Churches have been a huge success in the village and have been organised by church and community worker Tanita Robson. The Reverend Dawn Saunders said: “Our Messy Churches have been very well received and we are hoping to run at least four every year — one in each season of the year. “It is for everyone — young and old alike — and it’s good to see so many people from the local community joining us for an afternoon of messy play, fun and worship.” Ambulance service jobs under threat WEST Midlands Ambulance Service has conceded that it may have to cut staff to deal with financial pressures it is facing. In 2015/16 the service has been required to find £8.8million in savings and in 2016/17 it will need to save a further £11.7million from its budget. No frontline staff will be affected, but compulsory redundancies elsewhere could not be ruled out, said Chief Executive, Anthony Marsh. He added: “We will operate within the financial restrictions placed upon us and planning is taking place to ensure patients continue to receive the high standards of service we are known for.” Mr Marsh said that consultations were underway with trade unions.

Since being established in 1986 more than £40million has been raised for charitable causes, with Sport Relief the official charity partner for 2016. Stratford Leisure Centre, Studley Leisure Centre and Shipston Leisure Centre are offering a range of distances and challenges to suit swimmers of all fitness levels. Individuals can choose from 1.5k, 2.5k or 5k distances. There are also team challenge distances of 1.5k and 5k. Teams can split the distance however they choose to cater for the strongest and weakest swimmers in the squad. Swimmers looking for a helping hand with their swimming technique or with putting together a swimming training plan can visit the centres where Everyone Active fitness motivators are on-hand to provide training advice leading up to the April event. On the day of the event the Everyone Active team will be out in force to encourage and support swimmers. Swimming is already credited to be one of the best total body exercises for health and fitness. Not only does regular swimming challenge the heart and lungs, it also helps with muscular strength and endurance. “We are delighted to support the Swimathon again this year,” said Everyone Active Contract Manager, Toni Gaskins. “People of all ages and abilities can take part and it’s a great opportunity to raise money for charity while BILL MOORE'S WINDOWS AND DOORS FOR A HOME IMPROVEMENT THAT'S UNIQUELY YOURS CALL Arched Top White Bay Window Rustic Cherry Woodgrain enjoying a fantastic workout. “Sport Relief is a truly worthwhile cause so we’re encouraging as many people as possible to set up a team, take the plunge and join in the fun.” Cllr Mike Brain, Stratford District Council’s technical services portfolio holder, said: “We are delighted to be involved in Sport Relief’s mission to use sport and leisure to change lives for the better through the Swimathon. “Our focus on improving the health and wellbeing of people in Stratfordon-Avon District fits in well with the ethos of this inspiring and important sporting challenge. “We encourage everyone to make a contribution as a swimmer, sponsor or volunteer.” For further information on the Swimathon and to register, visit or www.swimathon.org The Sport Relief Mile will take place at the Recreation Ground in Stratford on Sunday, 20th March.

Tuesday, 15th March, 2016 15 Midweek Herald The Easter egg: its history and origin EST. 30 YEARS EST. 30 YEARS WHAT comes to mind when you think of Easter? Church? Bunnies? Eggs? You might find it strange that chickens' offspring have come to be associated with the resurrection of Christ, but it actually makes sense. People have been celebrating spring and the renewal of the seasons with eggs for thousands of years, long before Christianity was an organised religion. Eggs symbolise fertility and new life, and the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Persians all used dyed eggs in their spring celebrations. It was only natural that the tradition be incorporated into the Christian holiday, which also focuses on rebirth and renewal. It's impossible to say who invented the chocolate egg, but these confections started appearing in France and Germany in the early 19th century. The first were solid dark chocolate eggs that tasted grainy, coarse and bitter. The truth is, chocolate wasn't really all that great back then. It contained around 50 per cent fat, which made it incredibly hard to digest. Confectioners were forced to add various starches and other ingredients to make chocolate more palatable. In 1866, however, the Cadbury chocolate company imported a revolutionary press that cut out half the candy's fat content, making a smoother, better-tasting form of dark chocolate. The press also allowed the company to easily mould its chocolate. In 1875, Cadbury released its first line of chocolate Easter eggs, which were hollow and filled with sugared almonds. It wasn't long before Cadbury's business was booming, and by 1893, the company had 19 different Easter patents — a lot in those days! Easter production went into overdrive in 1905, when Cadbury introduced milk chocolate Easter eggs. To say they were successful would be an understatement: The majority of chocolate Easter eggs sold today are made from milk chocolate. Cadbury's eggs are still incredibly popular, but the confectioner hardly has a universal hold on the market. Today, you can get chocolate eggs of all kinds from countless companies, whether you like them solid, hollow or filled with anything from flavoured crème to expensive, gourmet chocolate candies. The custom of giving eggs at Easter celebrates new life. Christians remember that Jesus, after dying on the cross, rose from the dead. This miracle showed that life could win over death. For Christians the egg is a symbol of Jesus' resurrection, as when they are cracked open they stand for the empty tomb. Eggs were always thought to be special because although they do not seem alive, they have life within them especially at springtime when chicks hatch out. Long ago people gave gifts of eggs carved from wood or precious stones. The first sweet eggs that were eaten were made in the last 100 years from sugar or marzipan. Since then chocolate eggs have become popular and these are given on Easter Sunday. In some countries parents tell their children the Easter Hare or Bunny has hidden chocolate eggs and they race to find them round the house or garden. Children in other countries decorate hard-boiled eggs at Easter time by painting or dyeing them. DID YOU KNOW? The word Easter is derived from Eostre, the name of a Saxon goddess. Early Christians applied the name to the holiday in an effort to help assimilate pagan converts into the new religion.

In Asia where Lantana comes form it is considered a weed! Watch out ! Iguanas about KEEP YOUR eyes peeled for our Iguana. He is a green Iguana from South America, he was donated to us about 6 years ago after becoming to big to be a pet. He likes to hide up high in the trees and on top of the heater where he can keep an eye on things. There are quite a few birds in the flight area, they have all been chosen because none of them are insectivorous-they like to eat seeds and fruit. We have colourful Budgerigars, two Indian Ring Necked Parakeets, a couple of African Mousebirds, and some Chinese Painted Quail that walk around on the floor, to name but a few. We welcome the latest additions to the birds of the Stratford Butterfly Farm, Mousebirds that originate in Africa. You will see these pretty birds, with their distinctive hairstyles, flying around and playing in the trees throughout the Flight Area.

Improving loose skin and tricky jowling is normally the mainstay of expensive facelifts or over promising skin tightening machinery. However with the NEW 4D PDO threadlifts, which have been used in Korea and the Far East for 15 years and now available in Stratford Upon Avon, Dr Dan Dhunna can create enviable results with another simple but highly effective injectable procedure. Zeila Cabotine Ella Boo Izabella Steilmann PDO is a material commonly used as a dissolvable surgical stitch, but when injected in the skin of the face, neck and décolleté it stimulates the body to naturally produce collagen thereby tightening and rejuvenating the skin. The PDO threads are injected using fine acupuncture needles that act as a conductor for the thread, and the stitches themselves dissolve away over several months producing a network of collagen improving the look, lift and hold. 4D PDO threads have added anchors on them, which allows the skin to be pulled back thereby immediately lifting the tissues, improving jowls and laxity. They are also injected using cannulas, which limit swelling and bruising. Unlike other non-surgical threadlifts, PDO threads can be used all over the face to improve the skin including around the delicate eye area, around the mouth and the neck. Results typically can last 2-3 years.

GEM calls for an immediate commitment to reducing the limit, combined with increased police activity to enforce the law. The demand follows the publication last week of the new Fit to Drive report by the Parliamentary Advisory Committee for Transport Safety, showing that alcohol impairment continues to be a major contributory factor to crashes. Around 4.5 fatal collisions every week in 2013 (the most recent figures available) were related to drink-driving. GEM chief executive, David Williams, MBE said: “It’s believed that reducing the limit from 80mg/100ml to 50mg/100ml would save around 25 lives and 95 serious injuries every year. Additionally, there is excellent technology available to make simple, effective roadside breath tests a reality. After all, it is now 11 years since Parliament made provision for roadside evidential breath-testing, which would greatly increase the number of tests carried out by police officers, and reduce the vast burden of paperwork which accompanies every positive breath test. “Drink driving remains a significant threat to the safety of all road users, but there are effective steps to help reduce this threat. Reducing the drink drive limit should be the number one priority, as this would bring clear and significant road safety benefits. “Supporting this should be modern alcohol testing equipment that helps police officers do their job more efficiently. “The government needs to take a strong lead to help prevent the unnecessary death, injury and misery that’s too often a consequence of someone’s irresponsible decision to get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol.” JLR’s record February sales JAGUAR Land Rover reported its best-ever February retail sales of 37,494 vehicles — up 31 per cent on February 2015. The company, which has operations in Gaydon, sold 83,510 vehicles in the first two months of 2016 — 27 per cent up on the same period in the prior year. Retail sales for the month of February were up year-on-year across all regions: 84 per cent in the UK, 52 per cent in Europe, 27 per cent in North America, and 14 per cent in China. Other Overseas markets were up 13 per cent. Andy Goss, Group Sales Operations, Director, said: “Another historic month of sales is thanks in large part to the performance of the UK and European markets.” UsedSelection Fiesta THE 1.0 TURBO ECOBOOST ENGINE IS AS POWERFUL OR MORE THAN THE PREVIOUS 1400CC PETROL ENGINE 1313 FIESTA 1.0 ECOBOOST ZETEC 5 DOOR 22000 MILES COPPER PULSE CLIMATE PACK ELEC/PACK ALLOY WHEELS BLUETOOTH WITH USB MUSIC CON .....................................................£7,995 1515 FIESTA 1.0 T/BO TITANIUM AUTO 5 DOOR 9800 MILES DEEP IMPACT BLUE CLIM/PACK E/PACK TECH/PACK CRUISE CON.

(FORMLY THE OLD LITTLE CHEF SITE) Tuesday, 15th March, 2016 29 Midweek Herald Rolling back the years at classic car show THE classic motoring clubs attending last weekend’s NEC Restoration and Classic Car Show gave visitors more than just some shiny cars to look at as the 120 clubs exhibiting offered demonstrations and live working on their stands at Birmingham’s NEC. With 700 cars on display, in all states of repair — from barn find to concours — there was plenty of inspiration for enthusiasts, as well as hands-on advice from specialist restorers and industry experts. Motoring celebrities including Wheeler Dealers’ Mike Brewer and Edd China; For the Love of Cars’ Ant Anstead; the original Stig, Perry McCarthy, and BBC Radio 2 travel reporter Bobbie Prior all appeared on the Live Stage to share their motoring experiences. The Lancaster Insurance Pride of Ownership saw a close battle between the 20 finalists selected from around 80 applicants. An emotional Stuart Turp, pictured on opposite page, lifted the trophy as showgoers voted his gold coloured 1969 Ford Capri the winner, with Jim Scott’s 1966 Cortina taking second place and Martin Healey’s 1964 Saab 96 2-Stroke in third. It was a blue 1989 Austin Metro City owned by James Cribb that won the Golden Spanner award and the title of Restorer of the Year. James’ late wife bought the car back in 1995 as her first car and James had lovingly Value Car & Van Hire Unit 1 Tilemans Park Shipston on Stour CV36 4GX Free local delivery and collection Tel: 07974 805485 restored it to perfection in her memory. But it wasn’t just the pristine cars winning awards. Dave Whiting’s 1953 Aston Martin DB2 saloon was voted the crowd’s favourite barn find out of the 25 diverse cars on display. Silverstone Auctions secured more high prices in its sale at the show on Sunday, with 69 per cent of the cars on offer successfully hammered away for a total sales figure of £1.5million. One of the earliest Land Rovers produced, a 1948 Series One Chassis #149, sold for £47,250, more than £20,000 over its lower estimate, and the highest price for a Series One in recent years. A historically-important and very rare car, a 1950 Land Rover Series I Station Wagon with coachwork by Tickford, sold for £38,250, a world record price. Dan Nwaokolo, Event Director, said: “This show continues to go from strength to strength. The effort of the clubs especially with the live working is amazing and the displays this year were outstanding. “Brisk business was done by the traders with great results and it was fantastic to see many new names on the exhibitor list this year. “The addition of the National Car Club Awards was the icing on the cake. It was a brilliant evening of celebration and recognition, and the feedback from the clubs has been amazing.” Four Ashes Garage Stratford-upon-Avon 01789 267208 Mobile: 07890 405498 06 56 MERCEDES

Masons Road, Stratford-upon-Avon @herald_sport on Twitter Don’t miss the Stratford Herald each Thursday for the best sports coverage Town punished as they fail to convert chances STRATFORD Town manager Carl Adams believes his side were punished for failing to convert their chances against Weymouth on Saturday. Ben Thomson struck twice as Weymouth came from behind to claim a 2-1 win at the Bob Lucas Stadium. Despite highlighting the positives from the display, Adams was ultimately left disappointed with his side’s inability to convert their opportunities into goals. “We got punished for our missed chances,” he said. “We had enough to have won three games let alone one, and although we put on a good performance we have come away with nothing to show for it. “They were more clinical in their finishing and that is what won the game. “It’s a hard one to take, but we will go again against Hitchin on Tuesday.” Town made a lively start and went ahead in the fifth minute. Jamie Sheldon was upended by Dean Evans in the area and Richard Gregory thumped the subsequent spot-kick past the Weymouth goalkeeper and playermanager Jason Matthews. The visitors missed a string of chances to double their lead and Weymouth made them pay on 62 minutes when they worked the ball in from the left and Ben Thomson stabbed it past Andy Kemp from close in. And in the 76th minute Thomson grabbed the winner when Town failed to deal with a corner from the left and the Weymouth striker drilled the loose ball into the net from eight yards out. Stratford have now taken only three points from their last nine games. Town take on fourth-placed Hitchin at the DCS Stadium on Tuesday night before another home game against play-off hopefuls Hungerford Town this Saturday.
