Welcome to the second edition

of Loci Pannum, and many thanks for

all the great feedback that we

received after our first issue.

It is definitely a busy period right

now what with the recent Queen’s

Jubilee Celebrations, the rain, the

football Euro 2012 Finals, the rain,

Wimbledon starting 25th June,

probably more rain... and then onto

the Olympics !!

By the time our next issue

reaches you, the Olympic Torch

should be passing through our area,

although blink and you might miss it.

Arriving in Reading on July 10th, there

will also be a chance to see the Torch

at an evening event being held at the

Madjeski Stadium at 3.30pm (tickets

required which are free - see the

www.london2012.com website).

The Torch arrives in Basingstoke

on Wednesday July 11th with a 12.30

start at Festival Place with Matthew

Pankhurst from Basingstoke being

one of the five torch bearers.

Starting a Business

The Richard

Branson Way

“It’s not about knowIng how to make a lot of money,

It’s about knowIng what people need and provIdIng It for

them.”

Wise words from Virgin boss Richard Branson at a recent

speaking engagement, and easy to say when you’ve already

made a lot of money, but with his track record of success, they

are worth heeding if you are planning to start up your own

enterprise, even on a small scale.

Where do you start? Not with huge profits in mind; that’s

the surest way of making none. Working out what’s needed and

finding the best way of delivering it is no guarantee of wealth

either, but it is the basis of good business in every sense of the

word.

CreatIve fundIng

Entrepreneurs are always worrying about where to get the

money to start a business, but Branson never had any. So to get

his first enterprise, a student magazine, off the ground, he sold

advertising space and got the money in up front to cover the

printing and material costs and get the magazine published.

be smart wIth Cash flow

With his record business, he set up a mail order outfit,

posted flyers outside the music venues and then went haggling

with other record retailers to get the discounted stock he

needed to turn a profit. Cash flow is important, but finding

creative ways of driving it is even more so, was the moral of the

tale.

dIsh out the dutIes

Don’t try to do everything yourself, was another nugget of

advice. Learn how to delegate and hand off to people who are

better than you at handling the various roles and responsibilities

that come with running a business. You have to be brave, find

good people to do your job, and step aside as often as you can,

which then leaves you free to plan your next business, he said.

you Can’t wIn them all

His ethos of shaking up the corporates by doing things

better worked for Virgin Atlantic and its challenge to BA, but not

for Virgin Cola, which came up against brand leader Coca Cola

who literally bought them off the shelves. That was another

tough business lesson to learn; some you win, some you lose.

do good busIness

While it’s true that Branson made his fortune by being just

as ruthless and determined than his competitors, from his

humble entrepreneurial beginnings to the creation of a

corporate empire, he never lost sight of his goal of business as a

force for good.

He says: “If you are just starting out in business, or are

running a small company already you have a great opportunity

to do business differently and put people and our planet at the

centre of what you do. It makes good business sense, and if you

do good, have fun, then the money will come”.

Fearlessness, resilience, self belief, and generosity, stood

Virgin’s founder in good stead, and if they take a leaf out of his

book, the next generation of entrepreneurs could be awesome.

Nestling in 73 acres of ‘stunning and striking’ landscape on

the Hampshire / Berkshire border is St Neot’s

Preparatory School, where Loci Pannum had the

opportunity to speak with the person using these adjectives; the

new Headmaster, Jerry Gear.

Jerry started at St Neot’s last September, and was attracted

by the opportunities he could see in the extensive grounds.

Having previously been the Head at two urban schools in

Hendon and Hertfordshire, Jerry feels privileged to be at the

helm of an academic institution with a unique position and

unrivalled site. It is hard to argue with these sentiments as you

travel along the tree lined drive to the old house which has been

there since circa. 1860

St Neot’s is not only a Preparatory School; it also has a

thriving nursery where children as young as 3 months attend

Tiny Tuskers before advancing on to Tuskers. Overall there are

330 pupils educated in the School including up to 36 weekly /

flexi boarders who enjoy their ‘extended sleepovers’ in the very

modern boarding house.

In the past year Jerry has overseen the introduction of a

mountain bike track which also encompasses a half loop

obstacle course. Continuing on the fitness theme, there are

plans to extend the existing adventure playgrounds, to include

low ropes, a zip wire and an assault course! Future ambitions

also include plans to erect a purpose built Sports Hall. For those

not quite so adventurous, the school hopes to introduce

chick¬ens to the campus, providing pupils with the opportunity

to care for them and to collect and sell the eggs produced.

While still promoting the value of team sports, over the

past couple of years the school has established a Sports

Enrichment Program for those who are more comfortable in non

team sports. Pupils have the choice of mountain biking around

Bramshill Woods, rock climbing, archery, fencing and even

shooting! There is something for everyone and no excuse not to

get involved in some form of activity.

Aside from the sports activities, the school provides an

excellent all round education for pupils of mixed ability, along

with a huge amount of pastoral care. Over the last 6 years pupils

have attained 64 scholarships in academia, art, music, sports and

all round abilities, with 50% of all pupils going on to Wellington

College, Bearwood College, Bradfield College and Lord

Wandsworth.

Holiday care is provided for 50 weeks of the year from Tiny

Tuskers and St Neot’s have just teamed up with Super Camps

(www.supercamps.co.uk) to provide multi activity day camps for

4-14 year olds throughout all the school holidays. If you would

like to see St Neot’s for yourself the next Open Day is 29th

September - all children are welcome and a crèche will be

available. Alternatively contact admissions on 0118 9739650 to

arrange an appointment with Jerry and a tour of the school.

This is very much a school on the move, in more ways than

one – it believes the important things are to ensure that pupils

are motivated to learn and to help them find the right secondary

school for their skills and strengths. Jerry sums St Neot’s up in

three words; Happy, Caring and Exciting.

We live in interesting weather, to misquote the proverb,

from drought to flood and back again within weeks.

In March we rushed out with our shorts on only to

rush back in again in search of the waterproofs with April’s

soggy arrival. Many areas were flooded as rainwater ran off

hard ground into rivers.

Such weather extremes are predicted to become more

common in our climate. As the current hosepipe ban shows at

the same time as demand for water is growing its supply cannot

always be guaranteed. It’s clear that we need to think

differently about how we use and manage water both in the

house and the garden.

Planting for drought has become fashionable and will

certainly reduce the amount of water needed but many gardens

don’t have the right site conditions and we don’t all want

lavender and rock roses. Another option is to consider a ‘rain

garden’. Nigel Dunnett’s garden at the Chelsea Flower Show this

year shows that such gardens can look amazing as well as being

functional. The idea is that the garden captures, channels,

diverts and soaks up water rather than letting the surplus run

off into the drainage system. Typically it could include a number

of components, such as:

• storm-water planters (above-ground plating containers

that intercept water from the roof)

• green roofs (layers of living vegetation installed on the

roof that reduce water run off)

• rain barrels and water butts for above-ground water

storage

• rain harvesting reservoirs for below ground water-

storage

In the garden....

Come rain, come shine

• ponds/pools

• gullies and rills

• porous groundcover, such as gravel, which helps

absorption of rainwater

• planted sunken infiltration areas (where the water can

seep away and be taken up by plants).

In periods of low

rainfall some of these

components will be dry

and the planted areas

will look no different

from any other area of

the garden but in wet

periods the whole

system comes to life

with running water.

You don’t have to

involve the whole

garden to make a

difference and not all

elements have to be

included; budget, site, soil conditions, runoff levels and how you

want to use the garden all need to be considered. But even one

or two elements can help and combining two or more multiplies

the benefits. You could simply disconnect your downpipes

and channel the water into storm-water planters that overflow

gradually into gullies, or install a green roof on the shed.

Planting is key in any garden but the more diverse the

plants in a rain garden, the better it will work. A well-designed

rain garden will not be submerged for long periods and even in

long drought periods there will be some moisture still available

deeper down so there

is a wide choice of

perennials, grasses,

shrubs and trees that

would cope with such

conditions.

Unlike some eco

friendly schemes,

creating a rain garden

need not be that

complicated; there can

be a lot less hard

landscaping involved

and expensive water

features are not

needed to enjoy the

movement of water

through the garden.

Best of all, with a rain

garden you can feel

good about doing your

bit while the garden

does the work for you.

on getting the best from your garden contact Jane Jordan on 07879

What are your

strengths? A

simple

enough question and

one which we either

find difficult to answer

in any meaningful way, or we talk about what we are good at.

It could be argued The Curse of Mediocrity is all around us. In

our education systems, we see it in the perennial quest to have

every student being good at every subject. They are not. At work we

see it in the flatlines of competency models, where everyone is

expected to be good at everything. They are not, and this being so,

we then focus on what is wrong or not working and try and fix the

weaknesses.

But strengths

coaching is about

identifying what you are

good at, what energises

or de-energises you and

which you use frequently

or not so much. The

energy part is crucial, we

can still be good at doing

something but it may be

de-energising. For

example, you may be very

good at completing forms

and documents because

this has been part of your

job for years, but

completing all that detail

may not be enjoyable or

energise you.

These strengths are

known as ‘learned

behaviours’ and like

anything we have learned in life we can change our thinking. Recent

studies in neuroscience have demonstrated that neuroplasticity of

the brain exists and we can, with help and coaching, change long-

held beliefs.

The really exciting part for clients is the discovery of their

‘unrealised strengths’. These are the areas which provide energy, are

performed well but just not used frequently enough. These are the strengths

which, when developed, will propel an individual forward, whether they are

pursuing a personal goal or looking to improve in a business environment.

These are the x-factor which will movesomeone from average to A*.

In addition to looking at the individual strengths, we will also

look at the strength families and whether there is an imbalance

between them. For example, the ‘communicating’ family will

distinguish how best to communicate with your family, friends,

colleagues or clients. If your strength is ‘Spotlight’ your best way of

communicating is probably verbally to a group, if it is ‘Scribe’ then

you are stronger at

writing or emailing.

Strengths Coaching is

all about the old maxim

‘play to your strengths’, it

helps individuals identify

what their strengths are,

which ones energise them

and which are not being

utilised enough and to

plan how to use them

going forward. This

enables the individual to

perform better, increase

their own well-being and

those around them. In a

team environment this is

magnified when all the

members are utilising the

strengths they are not

only good at, but really

energise them as well!

Just imagine the business performance levels.

In addition to Strength identification, we will have the

opportunity to review your areas of weakness. However, whilst it is

advisable to work on these it can only be in addition to working on

your strengths and not instead of.

If you are interested in moving from the Curse of Mediocrity to

A*, or would like me to undertake a presentation of Strengths

contact Mike Peates via www.mjpcoaching.co.uk

With Heston Blumenthal following in the footsteps of Constance Fry and Rosemarie Hume and creating

a cold chicken dish fit for a Royal celebration, it seems appropriate to share the variation that I make.

The spiciness of the curry is complemented nicely by the tangy lime marmalade and as those who have

ever eaten cold takeaway curry will attest, the flavour enhances as it chills.

You will need:

4 chicken breasts (in strips)

1 chicken stock cube

(dissolved in 450ml water)

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

1 tbs vegetable oil

1 small onion

1 clove of garlic

1 tbs curry paste (mild or medium)

1 tbs tomato puree

2 tbs lime marmalade

6 tbs mayonnaise

200g virtually fat free fromage frais

Toasted flaked almonds

To make it, place the chicken, chicken stock and lemon juice in a casserole dish and bring to boil. Simmer

for 5-10 mins until tender. Drain, reserving ¼ pint of stock. Chill the chicken. Heat oil in a separate pan and add

onion and garlic and fry gently for 3 mins; add tomato puree and curry paste and cook for a further 1 minute;

add marmalade and reserved stock and simmer until well reduced. Chill. Fold lemon zest, mayonnaise, fromage

frais and chicken into stock mixture and finally garnish with almonds.

Games at workAdvertisement

Most people are either employees or employers. Those who are

not are often share homes, family ties or friendships with

those who are. Like it or not employment law impacts

upon us all.

This year we are hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games from

27 July 2012 to 9 September 2012. Large shops will be able to open for

extended Sunday hours during the Games.

who do you know who runs a shop or works In a shop?

The Sunday Trading (London Olympic Games and Paralympic

Games) Act 2012 suspends restrictions under the Sunday Trading Act

1994 on large shops' Sunday trading hours during the Games. It

therefore applies for eight weeks, from Sunday 22 July to Sunday 9

September 2012 inclusive. The effect of the Act is that certain shops,

which are currently only able to trade for a limited period on Sundays,

will not be subject to those restrictions during the Games.

There was concern that shop workers in shops affected by the

2012 Games would not have time to opt out of Sunday working before

the Games started. Therefore, the 2012 Act amends the Employment

Rights Act 1996 to temporarily reduce the usual notice period for opting

out of Sunday working from three months to the longer of two months

or the period from the date notice is given until Saturday 21 July 2012.

If a lesser period is referred to in the employment contract the lesser

period will apply.

A "shop" is defined to include any premises where any retail trade

or business is carried on, including barbers, hairdressers, auction

houses and hire companies (except those that hire to trades or

businesses).

Under the 2012 Act:-

• If an employee already has the right not to work on a Sunday

then that right is unaffected by the Act, unless the employee

wishes to opt-in to working on Sundays.

• For other employees who work on Sundays or may be required

to work on Sundays there is the right to apply to opt-out of

unrestricted working hours.

• It is not possible for a person who only works on a Sunday to

opt out of Sunday working.

Where a worker has the right to opt out of Sunday working, the

employer must give them a written statement explaining the steps they

must follow to serve an "opting-out notice" to establish the right not to

work on Sundays. This statement must be given within two months of

the worker becoming entitled to opt-out and must be in a prescribed

form. If the employer fails to provide this statement, then the period

between the worker serving an "opting-out notice" and it taking effect

is reduced to one month.

In general

Employers anticipate that during the Games there will be an

increase in requests for time off, and in sickness absence, and that this

combined with disruption for those travelling in and around the city will

reduce productivity and cash flow.

Considerate employees and employers will need to plan ahead.
