SUNNINGDALE HEATH GOLF CLUB | 2018 - 2019 CAPTAINS' CHARITY FUNDRAISING 

A cheque presentation ceremony was held in the Members' Lounge at Sunningdale Heath Golf Club, on Tuesday May 14th. Last year's Captains, Ann Devetta and Les Beard, presented a volunteer  from the Woking and Sam Beare Hospices, with a cheque for £5,000 - thanks to money raised by the Captains' Charities over the past year. 

The volunteer said that the charity is extremely grateful for this large donation, as they rely on charitable fundraising to do their vital work. Notwithstanding such generous support, they have recently had to request donations from patients in order to balance the books.  The Hospice - 80% of whose services he said, are provided in the patients' own homes, with a further 20% being for in-patients, provides support for those with life limiting illnesses and their families.  Over 360,000 people live in the area which benefits from the Hospice .

The current Ascot and Sunnings traffic chaos is an opportunity to find alternative routes which will reveal the charms of High Streets other than the main roads, says Colin Keating of Sapphire Estates.

Travelling around the Ascot area recently has been chaos. To say there are road works everywhere sounds like a bit of an exaggeration. But really there are - road works everywhere. It seems we must grin and bear it, while a cable is laid from Ascot substation to the new Longcross development.

The main problem is Ascot High Street. Recently, it was reduced to one lane, controlled by three- way traffic lights. A journey of half a mile to Ascot railway station could take forty minutes. People queued and fumed, and got very frustrated. Other roadworks compounded the problem.  And now Station Hill is closed altogether for a week, funnelling all the traffic down an already congested and accident-prone Ascot High Street and through traffic-calmed Sunninghill High Street ( though to be fair, official diversion notices lead traffic on down Blacknest Road). This could all be a taste of things to come-  if and when the massive housing developments in Ascot High Street and elsewhere start!

But what always puzzles me is this: There is another way! …

Ascot Racecourse is basically a triangle. Three roads outline this triangle so you can treat it as a huge roundabout if you like. Then there are all the other roads that will ultimately get you around. I feel like asking; have you found 'New Mile Road' to Cheapside? Onwards to Windsor, Sunninghill and Dale, or the reverse.

Ascot Dance School | 2019 Spring Show 

At the end of March, the Cordes Hall saw 65 pupils, aged from 3 to 15, and 4 adults of the Vanessa Gardner Academy of Dance perform their beautiful interpretation of the Nutcracker ballet: Nutcracker, Clara’s Dream, Fritz’s Nightmare! From tap dancing soldiers, to modern dance evil forest creatures and the classical ballet Waltz of the Flowers, the dancers of all ages performed with enthusiasm and pride. The audience were enchanted by the story of Clara, her naughty brother Fritz and the magical Nutcracker. Proceeds from the sale of show programmes, totalling £218.67, were donated to Marie Curie.

  Principal Vanessa Gardner said: "I'm so proud of everyone who performed, they delivered a beautiful and incredibly professional performance. I was so lucky to see them all dancing with such joy.”

Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals and InHealth celebrate 20^th anniversary of Cardiac Catheter Laboratory Service

April 1^st saw the 20^th anniversary of the InHealth Cardiac Catheter Laboratory Service at St Peter's Hospital which was celebrated by staff and patients. 20 years ago, invasive cardiology procedures were not common practice in district hospitals, and there were many questions asked by commissioners about the need and safety of these types of procedures. After a successful presentation, it was agreed that St Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey would be the first invasive cardiology centre in Surrey.

The service has developed and progressed over the years from a ground-breaking first joint partnership, from providing coronary angioplasty and simple pacing procedures to the expansive facility we have today - an all-inclusive, purpose built catheterisation suite encompassing a 10-bedded day ward and two fully equipped catheter laboratories with direct 24/7 ambulance access for heart attack patients. The InHealth Cardiac team is supported by Ashford St Peter’s Cardiac Physiologists and Cardiologists to deliver a seamless multidisciplinary team service.
