DAVID Moss has proved that age is no
obstacle to sporting success.
The 64-year-old may be a veteran in sporting Noel Parsons and David Moss proudly
terms but he has rolled back the years to achieve a display their signed licence books after
prestigious black belt in karate. the 3 hour grading
David attends the Handbridge Shotokan Karate
Club, which meets at Queen’s Park High School. He and his younger colleague Noel Parsons
were among 150 brown belts who were attempting to take the step up to black belt at the Karate
Union of Great Britain (KUGB) grading recently.
David, a builder and plasterer, began karate training in 1972 but had to give up due to work and
family commitments four years later.
He resumed training in 2000 after a 24-year break just to keep fit. Club instructors Mike
O’Connor and Syd Fisher had been telling him for years that he should attempt his black belt.
So David decided to do it for the granddads!
He said: “The training at Handbridge is at such a high level that you think you’re not so good
untill you attend these Black and Brown belt classes and realise 6th Dan tuition does prepare you
so well. and that you’ve improved far beyond your dreams” “I am normally working Saturdays but
I thought just this once “
“That’s not to say the grading was easy - anything but - what I am saying that your dojo training
shows when the pressure is on. In the fighting stage I fought a man in his early 50’s and he was
impressed and strongly congratulated me afterwards which again was very nice.”
Noel Parsons, a chef, at 32, returned to the sport in 2007 after a six-year hiatus and fought to
get back to fitness.
he said: “I know what David means when he says you dont realise the standard that a senior
class gives you but it would be like a normal footballer playing with a premier team - without
realising it that level pulls you up.
“At Handbridge you are just one of the class all training at a level of one of the KUGB’s highly
respected 6th Dans. When you come on the National Black and Brown Belt Course there are
hundreds from all levels of instruction. Some are very good but we felt we were up there and
once complicated moves were introduced we were in our element.”
Both Mike and Syd, from Handbridge, were very proud of the effort put in and congratulated all
who passed so convincingly.
The club meets Mondays and Thursdays at the Gym, in Queen’s Park High School, from
7-8.30pm. Visit HSKC.org.uk for more info.

Improvements
Running a busy estate or farm is a demanding, time-consuming challenge. And estate owners
and farmers are invariably so busy working in their business that they have too little time to
spend actually working on it.
In some ways, the financial situations of farmers and estate owners are unique because they spend
most of their lives investing their earnings back into the farm or estate. But it is always wise to diversify
any wealth that has been harvested, and there are a number of financial planning opportunities which
can be pursued.
Probably the most important is estate planning, in particular taking into account a person’s likely
exposure to Inheritance Tax (IHT). And there is no time like the present for dealing with this, as
increasing numbers of people are being drawn into the IHT net.
With IHT running at 40%, it is essential to pursue some of the legal ways available to ensure as much
of your estate as possible passes to your chosen beneficiaries and stays away from the grasp of Her
Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
In doing so, three decisive steps have to be taken. Firstly, a Will should be drawn up, carefully planned
to save the maximum amount of tax. Secondly, assets should be transferred through the shrewd use
of gifts. And finally, an IHT-efficient fund needs to be set up to help beneficiaries to meet the tax liability
without having to disturb the family wealth built up on the estate or farm.
All these are important considerations in retirement and estate planning for farmers and landowners.
So are Asset Preservation Trusts, which can protect death benefits from IHT on the death of a surviving
spouse. They can also make sure death benefits are not assessed as capital of the surviving spouse if
he or she needs long term care, and can guarantee that death benefits go to the children rather than a
spouse’s new husband or wife if he or she remarries.
Long term care is another area that needs early attention. Estate owners and farmers are no different
from other people – many of us are now living longer, and therefore more people than ever before will
require nursing or residential care in their later years, a prospect that is causing increasing concern.
Most people are largely unfamiliar with the costs and issues involved. But under current local authority
means tests, those with assets of more than £23,250 (2010/11) are given no help at all with care costs.
And with figures showing that it costs more to keep someone in an average care home for a year than
the annual fees to send a child to Eton, planning for long term care is essential.
Farmers and estate owners are key people in their businesses, responsible for making them work
successfully and creating the wealth. Without them at the helm, a lifetime’s work could be lost if not
properly protected. Key person protection plans can provide death and disability protection, while
critical illness plans cover against a whole range of serious medical conditions.
Then there is the question of sale or succession of the farm or estate. All business owners should
have exit strategy plans, allowing them to leave in the most efficient way possible and with the
maximum cash in hand after taxation. Whether you sell your business or not, having a plan in place
gives confidence to your colleagues and family, as well as your bank.
