Dear ResidentsWelcome to the next edition of the East Grinstead Living.

With Halloween coming up see our article about tatalising tales of East Grinstead Ghosts brought to us by Simon Kerr, EG Tourism Initiative - and don’t miss Professor Skull’s Ghostwalk at the end of the month...

Most of us know about the plight of bees in this country so we bring you news of a local Trust who are making & helping others to make worthwhile changes to honeybees, see their article on page 10.

On our Charity Page we feature Operation Christmas Child for which the people of East Grinstead have contributed so much over the years. Please assist once again to bring presents to those children in poverty & in need.

We have the perfect Halloween treat with a mouth-watering pumpkin pie recipe. With so many pumpkins readily available, it’s worth a go....

Local author, Bonx Trigwell, is giving away 3 signed copies of his new book, “The Dorset Arms”, East Grinstead’s most haunted building, see the competition on page 18.

Finally we have various business features with lots of information about the services they provide. Plus many businesses from our area promoting their products and services, here to help you.

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.”

The Ghosts of old East GrinsteadAs October turns to November, listen carefully in the darkness of the night, and you might just hear low moans, unearthly howls and shrieks coming from the misty street below.

You could well spot a crowd of zombies, ghouls

and fiends passing by. Be afraid, be very afraid, because the sight

you are seeing may chill your blood - and you thought there was no such thing as a ghost?

But look a little closer and you will notice that most of these ghostly apparitions are wearing trainers, and there’s rather more laughter than screams of terror. For this is Professor skull’s famous East Grinstead Ghostwalk, now in its fourth terrifying year.

While i would not want to get on the wrong side of the Professor by revealing all of his best ghost stories - that would indeed be a bad move, you can rest assured that the town has more than one or two ghostly tales:

the phantom that lurked behind the scenes in the town’s old radio Centre Cinema, an evil nun seen at the old st agnes & st Michael’s school in Moat road and those mysterious footsteps heard at midnight in Judges terrace are just some of Professor skull’s secrets. He even visits East Grinstead’s most haunted building, the dorset arms, which has just been celebrated in Bonx trigwell’s new epic novel. the town has also featured in a short movie staring veteran actor Frank Finlay called the Ghosthunter, and one of our graveyards even inspired best selling author & former resident neil Gaiman to write the Graveyard Book.

Here is a story to whet your appetite…

Passing the buildings in Judges terrace at the end of the High street why not put your ear to the letter box if the midnight hour has already struck? For many people have reported the sound of footfalls descending the staircase, although the building is quite deserted. it is certain that this happens throughout the year but always without exception on the 6th of July. Why? We cannot tell but some say that it is the ghost of one of the judges who lodged there while the assizes visited the town. Perhaps wracked with guilt over the harsh sentences he dealt to the local population, perhaps just waiting to apologise.

Will you put your ear to the letterbox?... try it, if you dare…

Professor Skull’s Ghostwalks take

place on Saturday 30th October.

MathJogs, taught in small groups of four to eight children, is a programme of fun, creative maths lessons for ages 4 to 11. It is designed by educational experts to help your child think like a mathematician through enjoyable activities and group interaction.

MathJogs is part of the Mathriders programme. Mathriders, for ages �� to �8, should be available later in the year.

The Methodin the UK MathJogs is new, however it is one of the methodologies created by the Helen doron Educational Group that is a trusted household name in over �0 countries. HdEG has been established for 25 years and has taught over one million children worldwide.

How MathJogs differs from other forms of maths tutoringMathJogs lessons are fun and interactive. Each well planned lesson lasts 50 to 60 minutes and uses several elements to make the lesson fun, creative and enjoyable. these activities include brain jogs, musical activities, stories, songs, hands -on props and workbooks.

We teach in small groups of up to eight children to ensure that each child gets the right amount of attention. Group learning allows the child to express himself, develop his social skills and build his confidence. This confidence spreads to all aspects of life.

MathJogs teachers are specially trained in delivering this programme.

the six structured years of fun and learning is completely compatible with the national Curriculum.

Is MathJogs suitable for your child?The best way to find out is to call Lorraine on 01342 314117 / 07878 315901 to arrange a free demo lesson. the current venue is Forest row Community Centre. Lorraine can arrange a demo in your area according to demand.

“My son attended Level 1 & 2 of the

MathJogs programme. Not only did he enjoy

the lessons,it reinforced the basics and logic

of maths. It showed how much fun it can

be. There is no doubt that the grounding

he received by completing both levels has

served him well as his strongest subject is

mathematics where he consistency receives

the highest grades.”

In recent years there have been

worrying colony losses worldwide

and the health of the honeybees has

been compromised due to a variety

of different factors, environmental

and otherwise. We asked the Natural

Beekeeping Trust based at Plawhatch

Farm, which borders the Ashdown

Forest, to provide more information:

The Natural Beekeeping Trust (Patron Carol Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate).

the trust’s aim is to promote awareness of ways of beekeeping which take as their starting point the nature and needs of the bees, rather than maximising honey yields.

Home to the natural Beekeeping trust, Plaw Hatch Farm is a co-operative biodynamic farm near sharpthorne, on the edge of the ashdown Forest.

the keeping of bees on farms makes good common sense, and Plaw Hatch has long upheld this tradition. We hear in the Usa of colonies being shipped from one end of the country to the other in their thousands. We have also seen the heart rending photographs of trucks overturned and the air thick with clouds of disorientated and distressed bees, many of which have to be destroyed…

Certainly on a mixed farm with varied forage and an absence of pesticides the honey bee can thrive, crops can be

pollinated, and as long as there is a surplus, we can share in the bounty of delicious honey and pure beeswax.

in this context the word ‘surplus’ is all important. there is no true honey surplus if we have taken the bees’ winter stores and replaced them with sugar. the fact that bees can, and have, survived on sugar feeding is no reason to suppose that it does them no harm in the long term. if we also consider the myriad manipulations which are regularly visited on bees by many beekeepers, a picture of something akin to factory farming arises. One unfortunate result of such practices has been the devaluation of honey into a sort of cheap flavoured sugar paste, rather than the precious

life sustaining substance it should be. the biodynamic method of beekeeping differs markedly from that of conventional and commercial

beekeeping. some of the principles are given below:

• the bees build natural honeycomb without the use prefabricated wax.

• the body of the hive is constructed of natural material.

• The queen is not confined to the brood box by a mesh panel, but is allowed to roam

throughout the hive. Her wings are not clipped and neither is she replaced systematically by the beekeeper. thus, the unique relationship between

the queen, the workers and the drones is honoured.

• Enough stores of the bees’ own honey and pollen are left in the hive for their use, and only in an absolute emergency is any sugar fed.

• the bees use their own pollen and are not stimulated into early colony growth by artificial pollen feeds, which, curiously, are usually made of soya and yeast

• the beekeeper takes all possible steps to maintain the vitality of the colony, using only biodynamically approved control measures against disease, and guarding against causing unnecessary stress.

the natural Beekeeping trust is devoted to the well being of the honey bee, and supporting methods of husbandry which are bee friendly and sustainable. We feel that this is the only way to ensure the recovery and long term health of the honey bee.

the trust also gives beekeeping courses and talks as well as representing natural beekeeping at various events (see website). to become a friend of the natural Beekeeping trust go to www.naturalbeekeepingtrust.org.

On Friday 8th October 2010 there will be a talk organ sed by the Trust entitled ‘A Better World for Bees – what can we do?’ 8pm at the Village Hall, Forest Row. Beekeepers and non beekeepers are welcome. article by Penny Crowder

Mary-anne Hunter at Muse Make up, started life as a consumer of semi permanent Make Up in the United states nearly seventeen years ago and the freedom, delight and satisfaction she experienced led her to train as a technician. Having trained extensively in all aspects and procedures, both in the United Kingdom and the USA she is a qualified Master technician and instructor.

she has worked exclusively in this area for 8 years and is known as an expert in her field and one of the top technicians both in this country and the Usa. Her success lies in her ability to fully understand her clients’ expectations and to help and inspire both clients and students to achieve and realise their goals. Mary-anne specialises in full face transformations and one to one training apprenticeships.

tally, from the East Grinstead Living team, went to interview her:

Tally: You call it semi permanent make up, so how long will it last for?

MA: this varies from person to person and depends on age, lifestyle and metabolic rate. Generally if you never had another colour boost it would last between �8 months-5 years before it was fully faded. Most people however come for a colour boost every year or so and this keeps the make up looking fresh and the good thing is that once you have had your initial treatments carried out most maintenance treatments cost around £��5 which you only need to have every year or so making it a very affordable treatment on an ongoing basis.

Tally: Does the treatment hurt?

MA: i think managing pain control is a very important aspect of what i do. i don’t like pain myself and don’t want to inflict it on others so I have concentrated on finding effective ways of keeping pain to a minimum. i picked up some seriously good tips and tricks on my last visit to the Usa. i also make sure i don’t rush a procedure but allow plenty of anaesthetic time. so to answer your question whilst it isn’t a relaxing massage it really isn’t very painful as a procedure and the benefits are really worth any discomfort one might feel.

Tally: What would happen if someone didn’t like their makeup aren’t they then stuck with it?

MA: some times i am asked to remove or correct work by done by other technicians. i am fully trained to do this and i can remove it in the same way that i remove other tattoos. semi permanent is just much easier to take off which is why i recommend semi permanent body art before you go for the real thing. all the up side with none of the down.

Tally: What made you choose this profession?

MA: i had been working as a managing director of a large company in a very stressful environment. One day i just decided that i wasn’t going to have anything in my life that i didn’t enjoy doing. i have always loved make-up and beauty and i am an artist at heart. after having semi permanent myself in the states i’d thought it was such a great treatment... i personally always looked so much better with a bit of make up on and after all which women doesn’t want to look her prettiest all the time? it was a great decision; i love my Job and my clients!

Tally: What is the most rewarding aspect of your work?

MA: Some people might consider what I do trivial but i see the difference that it makes to people lives; the way they feel about themselves. although self esteem can take a knocking as you get older too as everything seems to be heading south and definition and colour is fading; so to be able to help both women and men look and feel more vibrant and youthful again without having to go anywhere near a knife is very rewarding. also helping some alopecia sufferers, young and beautiful people, who have no eyebrows or eyelashes and people who have or are overcoming cancer, helping them to feel normal again, is also extremely rewarding.

Maryanne supports both alopecia and Cancer patients with a �5% discount

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.

There is a hire- to- buy scheme where clients can try a machine prior to making a purchase. The Power Plate is his most popular model, it can burn 350 calories in 10 minutes.

Pumpkin Pie

Preheat the oven to �80 degrees C or �50 farenheit. Peel, de-seed and cut up the pumpkin and/or butternut squash and weigh out 1lb of the flesh. If you prefer you can roast the flesh as this caramalises the sugars and adds extra flavour to the pie. Pop it in for 20 – �0 minutes, take out and puree in blender.

Sweet shortcrust pastry:-

You can buy it or quickly put it together with half fat to flour i.e. 250g flour, 125g butter, 25g fine caster sugar and � tablespoons of water. Put flour and butter in bowl and mix with your hands until it is like breadcrumbs, add the sugar and slowly add the water until it is the right consistency, roll it into a ball and cover with clingfilm and put it in the fridge – you will need approx �00 - �50g of chilled pastry

The filling:-

Mix � eggs, �00g muscovado sugar, 2 tablespoons of plain flour, half teaspoon of grated nutmeg, ground ginger and ground cinnamon. Put the puree into the bowl and gently mix together and then slowly add the milk. Put aside.

roll the pastry out large enough to fill a greased 23cm x 2.5cm dish. Gently lower the pastry into the dish, making sure it covers it well, then cut around the dish with a knife or pinch together with your fingers to give the pie a good finish.

Pour filling into the pie, brush the pastry with some milk, this will give it a lovely brown colour.

Pop it into the preheated oven ��0 degrees C (��5 farenheit) for �0-�5 minutes, check half way through, if necessary put foil around the pastry edges (very hot use oven gloves). You are looking for the filling to set.

Fabulous with cream and a dusting of icing sugar.

East Grinstead Town FC was formed as far back as 1890 and are now one of the biggest sporting organisations in the area, offering football to the community from the age of six upwards.

Until the mid-sixties the club was based at West street where they shared the ground with East Grinstead’s cricketers. Founder members of the sussex County League, the club’s halcyon days were after the war when crowds of over 2,000 regularly watched matches.

the cricket club turfed their tenants off in ��6� and the club spent five seasons at King Georges Field before they moved to their current home at East Court, which has been their base since ��68.

the club’s best ever league finish came in 1973 when they finished third in the County League but fortunes dipped after that and they dropped into the second division for the first time in their history in 1979.

since then the club have only spent seven seasons in division one but after winning a relegation battle last season they feel ready to establish themselves at this level and perhaps push on up the non-league football pyramid in future.

during the last decade the club have undertaken a staged

development of their facilities, starting with the installation of floodlights.

improvements to the drainage followed and then the club embarked on an ambitious programme which has left the club with arguably the best ground in the division. there is seated accommodation for more than �00 spectators as well as covered standing accommodation and hard-standing around the pitch. On the field, extensive irrigation and drainage work means the club now boast one of the best playing surfaces in sussex.

Last summer the club signed a three-year ground sponsorship deal with GaC Logistics and East Court was re-named the GaC stadium. GaC Logistics are joint main sponsors with the rydon Group, who have been supporting the club for 20 years.

the club is a registered Community amateur sports Club and an Fa standard Chartered development Club. with FA qualified coaches. It runs youth teams from under-�s to under-�8s as well as four senior teams.

They are always looking for new players at any age group and further details can be found on the club’s website www.egtfc.co.uk

What do you like most about what you do?

Working with such a variety of people and groups and no two days are the same.

What do you like least about what you do?

some of the big egos that come with people who work in the arts!

What’s the highlight of the year so far?

Becoming centre manager of Chequer Mead.

Favourite play/musical/show of all time?

Favourite play is Peter shaffer’s ‘the royal Hunt of the sun’, - favourite musical is ‘Les Miserables’

Why did you decide to work in this area of the community?

to encourage people, particularly young people to become involved in the arts and their community.

What’s the best thing about living in this area?

Friendly people and half way between the sea and London

To those who are not theatre-goers, what would you tell them to inspire them to change their minds & see a show at Chequer Mead?

You will be surprised – in a good way! Our programme is developing all the time with mainstream award winning shows, musicians and artists – a value for money night out on people’s doorsteps. From a West End transfer of the Vagina Monolgues last year, to last weeks sell out the Full Monty to an exhibition on tattooing with seven sins tattoo studio next year, we are not what people expect!

What’s the most annoying expression?

‘i just didn’t see you there’, - as a biker, often heard from careless car drivers who pull out in front of you!

What’s your favourite song?

‘Blink’ - Ben Onono

What’s your favourite film?

the Godfather.

Who or what is biggest inspiration in your work?

the venues, organisations and individuals i work with – arts funding for many others is at an all time low and yet the UK arts scene is recognised as one of the most vibrant and envied in the world because of the passion and dedication of those involved – i think that is something truly to be proud of and valued.

Operation Christmas Child celebrates its 20th Year this year. Back in 1990 a group of people got together to send aid in the form of a simple gift filled shoebox to children affected by the Chernobyl Disaster. The Shoebox Appeal, since then, has gone from strength to strength bringing Christmas cheer to children who are victims of war, poverty, persecution, famine, disease and natural disaster.

In the UK alone last year over 1.9 million shoeboxes packed full of gifts and goodies were wrapped, packed and sent to children in disadvantaged situations by children and adults in the UK.

These shoe boxes contained small gifts which we, in this country, take for granted. Soap, for example, is often too expensive for them to buy and in some remote regions impossible to obtain and many children in Eastern Europe can only attend school if they can supply their own paper, pens and pencils.

Once again in 2009 the residents of East Grinstead rose to the challenge and over 1000 boxes were collected from churches, schools, playgroups, youth organisations and individuals in the area. From there they were taken to the local warehouse in Horsham where they were packed in to cartons and subsequently sent to the Ukraine and several other Eastern European Countries.

Again we are asking you the residents of East Grinstead and nearby, if you will help us to ease the suffering of some of these children by wrapping a medium sized shoebox with some bright and colourful wrapping paper and then filling it with a variety of small inexpensive items

from each of the following categories –

Hygiene – soap/flannel/toothbrush/paste /comb/hair ties

Stationery – notebooks/paper/pens/pencils/colouring pens or felt tips

Toy – tennis ball/jigsaw puzzle/yoyo/dominoes/cards/car/game/ ball/skipping rope/soft toy

Other Items – hat/gloves/scarf/sweets (no chocolate)

The gift filled box should then be taken along to your nearest drop off point between the 1st and 18th November together with a donation of £2.50 to cover the transportation.

Further information and details of local drop off points can be found by login on to www.operationchristmaschild.org.uk or by calling either the helpline on 0870 011 2002 or local contact on 07763 944914.

Please help us put a smile on the face of a child in Eastern Europe this Christmas. Thank you.
