As the Continuous Insurance Enforcement law to tackle uninsured motoring reaches its one year anniversary, statistics show that there is still work to be done as there are an estimated 1.2 million uninsured drivers on our roads. Under the scheme it is an offence to be the keeper of an uninsured vehicle, even if it is not on the road.
You can find more advice and check if your vehicle is on the Motor Insurance Database by visiting www.askMID.com. You don’t even have to be driving to be caught. Stay Insured. Stay Legal.

Plant of the Year 2012 announced
Foxglove Digitalis Illumination Pink (‘Tmdgfp001′) is hailed RHS Plant of the Year 2012
Tropical-looking foxglove Digitalis Illumination Pink (‘Tmdgfp001′) takes the deserved title of RHS Plant of the Year 2012.
The peachy-pink flowered perennial was the overwhelming winner voted for by members of RHS plant committees. It was said to be impossible to breed this foxglove but Thompson & Morgan took on the challenge in 2006 and crossed Digitalis(Isoplexis) canariensis with Digitalis purpurea to achieve this exotic looking garden gem. The multi-branching spikes display flowers from June to November which are said to be a magnet for bees.
RHS President Elizabeth Banks will present the trophy to Thompson & Morgan on Tuesday 22 May at 10.40 at the Plant of the Year display in the Great Pavilion. (GPG 10).
Dianthus Memories (‘WP11 Gwe04′) from Whetman Pinks with its stiking white, strongly perfumed flowers and grey foliage took second place while third went to JS Pennings ‘De Bilt’ for its double-flowered dark blue Hyacinthus orientalis ’Royal Navy’.

Please make a donation – every penny counts – this is supporting a local charity for our local community
Karis May Darling Foundation
Our goals are to provide support and opportunity for under privileged children through performing arts and sports, provide local community professional coaching through the foundation, raise awareness of organ donation. Karis saved 5 lives and families from suffering.
Many people have and will continue to write that any form of activity be it sport or the arts develops people’s minds, character and provides an outlet that allows children to express themselves in a controlled environment. Sports and the arts provides discipline, camaraderie and respect amongst your team / class and any against the members of the teams etc you compete against. The Karis May Foundation is proud to be one that functions to show families that there is an opportunity to allow their child to begin his / her sporting career. This may well unearth hidden talents – you never know it could be your child.
