  <title>THERE&apos;S A FOREST IN THE WEST MIDLANDS</title>
  <description><![CDATA[They live next to a tower block - but a couple are in the news today - for when they gaze out of their window it's like they own a woodland cottage.<br />
<br />
Bob and Lucilla Barker have allowed their conifer&nbsp; trees to grow to a massive 40ft blocking any natural light to their home.<br />
<br />
For the last 20 years they have grown freely &amp; neighbours call it an eyesore - the last time they pruned them was to cut a hole thru the trees so they could reach front door!

  <title>Safety announcement with a difference!</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Lady Gaga and Katy Perry's music have featured in an airline safety demonstration with a difference.<br />
<br />
During a demonstration of how to use seat belts and life jackets, cabin crew on-board a Cebu Pacific Airlines flight danced to California Gurls and Just Dance. The performance was filmed by a passenger who posted the clip on YouTube.<br />
<br />
Spokesperson said we have always been known as a fun airline, we wanted to get the message across to our customers that flight safety doesn't have to be boring."This was an experiment that we hope to repeat and also a chance to showcase the talent of some of our cabin crew staff."<br />

  <title>Gillingham &amp; Shaftesbury Young Farmers</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Charlotte writes to tell us more about the young farmers ....<br />



<br />



The young farmers consist of around 25 members with a committed team of leaders and advisory members to give us that bit of guidance when it is needed.&nbsp; Club membership ranges from 10 to 26 and we are part of Dorset Federation of Young Farmers Clubs and the national federation of young farmers clubs.&nbsp; We offer a varied weekly programme covering sports, arts, farm tours, talks and social events.&nbsp; We host an annual ball and can tell you that there’s more to being a young farmer than getting drunk on cider and singing the Wurzels!&nbsp; <br />



<br />



As a registered charity we need to raise money for the club in order to keep it going.&nbsp; Of course there are member levies but all these do is cover the insurance!&nbsp; As a result, especially in these difficult economic times, we find ourselves delving deeper and deeper into the pot for bigger, brighter and better fundraising ideas.&nbsp; Including our current one; a naked calendar!<br />



<br />



Surprisingly many of our members didn’t need to be asked twice.&nbsp; We wanted to keep it to over 18 models and very tasteful and we hope that we have achieved this as all the photo shoots have now been done.&nbsp; The costs of the calendar are being met by our sponsors who have all been very generous with their money and time.&nbsp; The photography costs are minimal as they have all been taken by our very own photography student, Vicky Baxter.&nbsp; They are being printed locally too.<br />



<br />



So now we are faced with the difficult task of advertising the calendar.&nbsp; We have a promotional front page just ready to go to print to be put up at the Young Farmers tent at the Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show on the 18th.&nbsp; We also have some very snazzy blue t-shirts which we hope are going to get some attention next week!<br />



<br />



If you are attending the show we would love you to drop by and have a look at our shirts and the front cover shot.&nbsp; You never know you may even get to meet some of the models in real life!&nbsp; <br />



<br />



Finally I would just like to say we are taking pre-orders now!!&nbsp; <span style="font-weight: bold;">Phone/text on 07912983839 or 07875932703 or <a href="mailto:lotte_lizzie_lilley@hotmail.com">click here</a> to order your calendar!<br />
