Autumn Advertising

& Marketing?Testimonial:

“Allzones have now skillfully performed 3 build contracts for me over the last few years; covering a range of activities from roofing/hanging tiles/guttering to outdoor landscaping, log cabin erection, building a bridge and interior refurbishment including flooring. They are certainly very experienced, know what they’re doing, are excellent trouble shooters and won’t cut corners. Not only that: they are clean, tidy, polite and reasonably priced. They respect your home, have good attention to detail and provide a good standard of finish. I have no hesitation in recommending them and will be inviting them back next year to do the final stage of my restoration work.”

Is Vibration Training the fitness short-cut of the century?

Can’t find the time or bear the thought of battling the cold to get to the gym? Thankfully there’s an alternative.

Michael Wall of Hire Fitness

based nearby East Grinstead

brings the gym to you. Hire

Fitness is Europe’s largest

equipment provider with the

very latest and most popular

fitness models brought

straight to your home.

their most popular model,

the Ultim8 Vibration plate,

deceptively looks the

easiest to use apparently

exerting the least of your

effort. a feat of modern

engineering vibration plates

are specifically designed

machines that vibrate at

certain frequencies (normally

between �0 and �0Hz). the

user can perform a variety

of exercises on the vibrating

plate. it is claimed that a

minute of this is equal to �00

sit ups and that 20 minutes is

equivalent to a full work out.

i have also read that it can

slow the ageing process…

Most of the exercises involve

simply holding a pose on

the machine for between

�0 and 60 seconds while the

plate moves up and down

�mm with every vibration,

no jumping around, swinging

about, pulling, pushing,

etc. With conventional

training only �0-60% of the

muscle fibres are used,

vibration training uses nearly

100% which significantly

strengthens muscle mass

means a leaner, tighter

body that burns fat quicker.

the continual vibration

causes your muscles to tense

and relax up to �0 times a

second.

studies have shown that

vibration training stimulates

the muscular blood flow

and also has positive effects

on tendon tissue, bone

density, the nervous system

and hormone balance.

apparently Madonna is a

big fan of vibration fitness,

among others.

there is also a growing

acceptance within the

medical world that using

various types of vibration

machines can help with the

treatment of cerebral palsy,

osteoporosis, chronic pain

and back injuries.

Michael is happy to bring

the Ultim8 round for a

demonstration so you can

“see it in the flesh”.

Ultim8 client testimonial:

“After 12 weeks use of the

Pro Plate, I felt in much

better shape with noticeable

improvement in the toning of

my tummy, bottom and legs. I

haven’t felt so good for as long

as I can remember. Thank you

so much!!”

Julie from Thakeham, West

Sussex

In addition Michael also hires and sell treadmills, cross trainers bike and rowers.

GET FIT IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME

“Before I contacted Hire Fitness, I was not feeling good about myself, and was rather overweight. I am really busy and don’t have time to go to the gym. I hired 3 pieces of equipment for 3 months and Michael kindly threw in the

rower for free. It has been hard work but really satisfying to lose weight and to have a new outlook on life. Even my wife says that she quite fancies me, so that can’t be bad! Thank you Hire Fitness.” Jamie, Sussex

Michael Wall, established his Hire Fitness business 3 years ago & has built up a large portfolio of clients hiring & selling fitness equipment for use in the home He also supplies commercial equipment to gyms, offices, salons and studios.

MUSE Make-up

Have you Overplucked your Eyebrows?Can’t apply great make up?Lips lost their definition and thinning?Hate to be seen without your make-up on?

Which woman doesn’t want to look her best all the time?

Q: What’s the differencebetween a traditional tattooand Semi -permanent?

A-MaryAnne: A traditional tattoo is done to last, so inks are implanted deeply in lower layers of the dermis. Semi permanent Art be it make up or body, is worked only into the very upper layers of the dermis and with specially formulated pigments; it is a graze of colour and needs to be boosted annually or it will fade away.

Here are some of our customer testimonials:

“Just wanted to say how delighted I am with my eyebrows! They have settled down nicely into the perfect colour and shape. We went to Lanzarote

for a week and it was a god send to look made up by the pool with just my brows on! I feel like I have had a face lift at a fraction of the price and just look so much smarter and finished! I am a very happy customer and wish I

had done it years ago!” Caroline F

“I’m just dropping you a quick line to let you know all is well and I’m loving my new brows! You were of course completely right, my brows did need doing and the shape is amazing. The freedom of not having to wear

make-up and still looking ok is fantastic.” Heather K

“For years I struggled with drawing in my eyebrows and the time it took that I simply had to do something about it. I am so impressed with my eyebrows now that applying my make-up takes half the time and I look

great! Thank you MaryAnne.” Mimi P

Pretty permanent make-up addresses these problems giving you a beautifully groomed and defined look that can also take years off your appearance and solve your make-up problems.Plus It lasts from morning to

night, day after day, month after month!

This is a proven safe and easy way you can look better fast, without surgery. You can have more confidence and more time!

Potato, Leek & Carrot Soup

• Crush the garlic clove, trim the leek and use the white and pale green of the leek and wash thoroughly in cold water – drain.

• Heat the oil in a saucepan with a heavy base, add the garlic and leek and fry gently over a low heat until they have softened. now add vegetable stock – this can be done via your favourite vegetable stock cubes, boullion or your own – add bay leaf, cumin and then salt and pepper to taste. Bring to the boil, but keep stirring.

• add the potato and pop a lid on the saucepan and simmer for �0-�� minutes until the potato is soft when you place a fork into it.

• add the carrot, and continue simmering for another 2-� minutes. it is a good idea to re-taste

it to see if you need any more salt or pepper. take out the bay leaf. this is then ready to serve as a chunky soup.

• if you want to puree the soup - carefully (its very hot! so you can leave it to cool a little before you do this) place half of mixture in a blender, or food processor, and blend, pour into a clean saucepan, repeat process with the other half and put into rest of blended soup. add the milk and bring to the boil – taste again and add seasoning if required, then stir in the cream or crème freche before serving.

• Delicious with some granary or sunflower bread.

Enjoy – Kate & rick

so here comes the cold weather, which for me means starting to add soup to the weekly menu. soup is a great way to use up vegetables in the fridge, or to make a nutritional meal. it is also an easy way of bringing in the seasonal vegetables that are available in abundance from our local farms and producers. as the leaves begin to drop from the trees, it is a great feeling to place a large bowl of soup on the table with chunky pieces of bread , feel warm and ready to take on the long evening to come.

this soup can be served in two ways – either as a quick chunky soup, or pureed to make a creamed soup. For me soup is always better the next day, as the spices and herbs have a chance to really infuse, so maybe make it one day, leave it in the fridge and serve the next day.

Family Crest - Seal RingsSeal Rings have been worn by men of distinction for centuries. The signet ring was originally a Seal Ring - the “mark” of a gen-tleman. The name “Signet” came from the Latin word signator,the person who puts his seal onto a document.

The time taken on each ring and the lack of skilled craftsmenmeans only a few people have the opportunity to own a seal ring.

To purchase a seal signet, with a crest attributed to your family name, creates for you and your family an heirloom of great inter-est and beauty.

Many crest rings are sold as Graduation or 21st Birthday presentsand to couples for the gentleman’s wedding ring. Available in Goldor Platinum, plain orstone set, most rings arein ladies and gentle-man sizes. At GeorgeKnight Jewellers in EastGrinstead, you can viewyour heraldic familycrest along with a rangeof signet rings.

A man who is not proud of his ancestry will never leave afterhim anything for which his posterity may be proud of him.

Just a short trip to Forest Row

and you’ll have access to the

recently opened Riverview Dental

centre offering NHS Dental care.

Established at the end of last year

by Dr. Esmail Harunani founder or

Harunani & Co Group of Dental

Surgeries. The centre serves the

local communities of Forest Row

& surrounding towns & villages.

With modern decor, the use

of the latest equipment & a

high level of service, it boasts

facilities rivalling any private

dental surgery. Many local dental

patients have welcomed a new

local surgery offering NHS &

Private dentistry alike. This includes

treatment ranging from pain relief

to cosmetic treatment enhancing

the appearance of your smile.

Harunani & Co. Group of

Dental Surgeries was established

in 1986. With years of experience

& the latest training in Dentistry,

Dr Harunani oversees several

successful Dental Centres across

the South East, the Riverview

Dental Centre being the most

recent to open.

On asking what he feels

Riverview Dental Centre, being

an NHS Dentist, can offer clients

he comments:

“We have experienced

ethical dentists who explain the

treatment options clearly and are

transparent with their explanation

of costs.

“Even though we are treating

patients on the NHS we have

set up a modern state of the art

surgery, fully compliant with the

appropriate health and safety

and decontamination guidelines.

We have made the practice

patient focused, which aims at

making the dental experience

pleasant for all patients. Our

waiting rooms are designed to

be friendly. We have a plasma

screen showing before and after

photos that we have carried

out. The surgeries are equipped

with live cameras and screens

in which patients can view the

state of their teeth real time.

Patients have found this to be an

invaluable tool which helps them

understand the condition of their

teeth.

“Clients have commented on

the time the dentist spends with

them explaining the different

treatment options in a transparent

manner. This has given them

informed choice.

“We are dedicated to quality

and excellence and have

management systems which

ensure that we deliver quality

service consistently.”

There are currently 2 full time

dentists at Riverview Dental

Surgery:

Dr Edita Wallace & Dr Willis

Kabambe & a patient-friendly

administrative team to help you

break down the jargon & reassure

anxious patients.

an NHS Dentist, can offer clients

he comments:

“We have experienced

ethical dentists who explain the

treatment options clearly and are

transparent with their explanation

of costs.

“Even though we are treating

patients on the NHS we have

set up a modern state of the art

surgery, fully compliant with the

appropriate health and safety

and decontamination guidelines.

We have made the practice

patient focused, which aims at

making the dental experience

pleasant for all patients. Our

waiting rooms are designed to

be friendly. We have a plasma

screen showing before and after

photos that we have carried

out. The surgeries are equipped

with live cameras and screens

in which patients can view the

state of their teeth real time.

Patients have found this to be an

invaluable tool which helps them

understand the condition of their

teeth.

“Clients have commented on

the time the dentist spends with

them explaining the different

treatment options in a transparent

manner. This has given them

informed choice.

“We are dedicated to quality

and excellence and have

management systems which

ensure that we deliver quality

service consistently.”

There are currently 2 full time

dentists at Riverview Dental

Surgery:

�8 • GardEninG tiPs

VegetablesContinue preparing beds for the spring. Leave ground roughly dug as this allows the winter frosts to help break down the soil clods.

Bulbstulip bulbs may still be planted up until about the middle of the month. Lift tender bulbs and store in a cool, dry, dark place after first frosts.

Shrubs and Herbaceousthis is a good time to transplant trees and shrubs. When lifting established plants get as much of the root ball as possible and get them planted back into the prepared ground as soon as possible to prevent drying out. Large trees and shrubs will require staking to avoid them moving during

winter storms. Continue to lift, divide and plant herbaceous. Prune evergreens to shape.

LawnsGive your lawn a good raking to lift away accumulations of debris. Keep leaves raked from the lawn. they should be composted.

Rosesrose foliage can harbour insects and diseases, both on the shrub and on the ground. Pull off any rose leaves that are still hanging on, and rake up fallen leaves. Mulch around base of established roses with well rotted manure.

East Grinstead’s Community Play, ‘Matters of Chance’, written and directed by Jon Oram of Claque Theatre Company, will be performed over twelve nights from 29th November - 11th December 2010 at Sackville School.

Celebrating the lives, culture and history of East Grinstead, the play examines how small decisions can lead to us being caught up in huge events; events that have profound effects on our lives. all the characters in the play are based on real people, and their stories are taken from over one hundred interviews recorded during the ‘talk of the town’ project. Jon sifted through these to write the final play, during which he recognized common threads running throughout: memories of the war, the bombing of the Whitehall Cinema in �9��, and Mcindoe’s ‘Guinea Pigs’. thus the play is set during the war years �9�9-��.

it includes a cast of 90 local people from East Grinstead and the surrounding areas, but other volunteers are participating as musicians, stage managers, technicians, set builders, costume fitters, etc. Local schools, clubs, associations and

business groups will also be involved in the project.

noah nicholson, head of music at sackville school, is in charge of the music, which will comprise of traditional �9�0s Hollywood songs. Jon wrote the lyrics to four of the original songs, with the music composed by sackville students.

directorial assistant, allison Pattison, said, “everyone who walked through the door got a part. no one is turned away, and we are still welcoming people who want to volunteer to work with the professional designers, making props and costumes.”

the whole point of a community play is to get everyone involved, after which a legacy is left and people tend to stay together afterwards. it’s a very organic process, and encourages people to learn new skills and to pass these on to the different generations within the community and who knows what doors our younger members will be inspired to open thereafter.

as part of the community project, local people will be able to drop in to the design workshop anytime at 2�a Birches industrial Estate, East Grinstead, to see props

and costumes being made, as well as to have a go themselves.

Tickets are £12 for adults or £8 for children and can be bought from former Wickenden’s sweet shop, High Street. For more information visit the Community Play’s website on www.egplay.org.uk

Dick Whittington

is this year’s chosen Chequer

Mead pantomime and on taking a closer look the real life Dick Whittington’s legacy actually lives on in this area…

‘dick Whittington’ is the only pantomime character to be based on a real person, richard Whittington, the son of an alderman who was actually born in Gloucestershire sometime in the mid ��th century.

Contrary to popular belief, dick Whittington was not a poor, ill-treated orphan who managed against all the odds to work his way up to Lord Mayor. Coming from a wealthy family, he was sent to London to train as a merchant and became very successful, dealing in luxurious silks and velvets from the orient, some of which would have been transported in a cargo boat, also known as a ‘cat’. Whether this was the inspiration for his fabulous feline friend we can’t be sure, but he did become Lord Mayor of London three times and he did marry alice Fitzwarren.

He made several huge loans to the King and in true philanthropic

style also financed major public projects such as drainage systems, almshouses and hospitals including at Highgate, where legend has it he first heard the sound of bow bells calling him back to the City.

amazingly, sir richard Whittington’s charitable bequests are still benefiting people today. the almshouses were entrusted to the management of the Mercers Company who still administers them. originally they were built on College Hill in the City of London. in the �9th century they were moved to Highgate and then in �966, the almhouses were rebuilt in Felbridge, where Whittington College provides �6 houses and apartments for elderly ladies and married couples.

the charitable bequest has grown so much over the centuries that in �822 the work of the trust was extended to cover paying an allowance to people on very low incomes. The beneficiaries of these out-pensions, as they are known, now number �00.

Even if the legend of dick Whittington is a mixture of fact & fiction, perhaps the truth is even more amazing. richard Whittington survived

as a prominent City merchant through turbulent times. Even more astounding, the charitable trust he created nearly 600 years ago is still helping people today.

it was said that the greatest sadness of his life was not having any children so he would be delighted that today so many of them are having such a good time following his adventures on the stage.

Dick Whittington and His Amazing Cat’ set off on their magical trip to Olde London Town and Morocco from 18th to 30th December at Chequer Mead, East Grinstead so don’t miss your chance to cheer the goodies and boo the baddies by calling the Box Office on 01342 302000.

As with all community plays it’s the volunteers that make it happen...take fifteen year old Carmen Langridge who is currently in year eleven at Sackville Community College.

Carmen has been coming along to the Workshop space since the beginning of september. “i enjoy sewing and i like to volunteer and all the things we are making are fun. My favourite item i’ve made so far is ‘Jim’! a traditional teddy bear”, Carmen tells us.

Carmen’s enthusiasm to be in the play was evident the moment she stepped into the Workshop where she auditioned for a part in the play. she explains how her character shelia roberts witnessed the Whitehall bombing, in which her sister (isabella) died while her character was working at the Post Office across the road from the cinema . “it’s upsetting and sad knowing that my character saw what actually happened. Knowing that her younger sister was inside the cinema.”

For Carmen the East Grinstead Community play has opened up a new door way of meeting different people...“i’ve met lots of nice new people and made some new friends”. Carmen goes on to explain that alice Killick who plays isabella goes to the Michael Hall school with a mutual friend of hers and they have other common interests. “i wouldn’t have met Alice if it weren’t for the play”.

this is just one of the many examples of what the community play can give back to the community.

’Matters of Chance’ ( running from Monday 29th november until saturday ��th december) not only takes place in the play but in real life too!

Carmen will be making her own costume with the support of the Design Team, but they need yOUR help! Please do come along and get in contact with either Laura, vicky, April or Sarah on 07757 553 115
