n 1918, one man's visionary response to thetragedy and destruction of a World War was

to create an organisation whose aim was tofoster peace and understanding betweennations and peoples through the use of theEnglish language. Evelyn Wrench launchedthe English-Speaking Union on 4 July 1918and, almost a century later, its ethos and ambitions are upheld in branches throughoutthe UK and across the globe.

The ESU is an educational charity. For over 90years it has provided scholarships, bursariesand exchange opportunities to English-speakers around the world allowingyoung people, teachers, librarians and othersto develop their personal and professionalskills. It also promotes the skills of public oratory and debating to school and universitystudents worldwide by running speaking anddebating competitions in the UK and overseas(details of your local Southend on Sea competition are below).

Fun and Relaxed

At both national and branch level our 5,000members are tireless fundraisers, workinghard to help young people fulfil their potential. The good news is that most of thesefundraising occasions are also fun withlunches, garden parties, talks and visits athome and abroad providing a relaxed environment for members to meet, chat andvitally, support their local communities.

I The ESU also networks with a variety of cultural events across the nation and benefits from a beautiful national HQ at Dartmouth House. This Grade 1 listed building in London’s Mayfair has a restaurantand bar and hosts a variety of events open toall members. We were recently delighted to welcome Peter Kyle (previously CEO of theGlobe Theatre) as the ESU’s new DirectorGeneral.

The Southend-on-Sea Branch of the ESU hasan excellent programme of events, withlunches, talks, etc. in the Cliffs Pavilion atWestcliff on Sea interspersed with visits tolocal places of interest. These are excellent opportunities to catch up with oldfriends and to make new ones. We are alwayshappy to welcome newcomers and all members are encouraged to bring guests.

Achieving Aspirations

At our Christmas lunch on Monday 5th Decat The Cliffs Pavilion, our ever hardworkingBranch President, Sir Teddy Taylor, will make apresentation to Ben Gershinson, an outstanding local music student and the recipient of the branch’s 2011 Florence Warren Award. 18yr old Ben, educated atWHSB and with aspirations in the field ofconducting, is now reading music at Downing College, Cambridge.

A key part of the ESU’s educational effort isour acclaimed Public Speaking Competition

others appear older than their actual age. It’s notjust deciding to go grey, but how to do it to ensure you always look your best. Look in a mirror at your skin tone. If it is ‘cool’, in that pinks,blues and white suit you – you can rest assuredthat white hair will turn you into a silver siren. Ifyou look good in orange, brown or green, colouryour hair to look younger for longer.

Work out a plan with your hairdresser – be sureto see them regularly to monitor how the greying process is unfolding, they may suggestadding lowlights and/or glosses for definition andshine. Ensure your hair is regularly trimmed andwell cut, keep it well conditioned and use themost appropriate products for maintaining yourgrey hair.

Just one note of caution though, if you maintainflame red locks into your seventies, you could findyourself fully-booked for Halloween or Macbeth!

he need to turn on the heating signifies thearrival of the season of mists and mellow

fruitfulness. Just as summer inevitably gives wayto autumn, sooner or later, we all go grey.

Some of us accept and embrace it, whilst othersview going grey as something to dye for. Insteadof screaming "old", these days grey is becomingtrendier, sexy even. Grey glamour puss DameHelen Mirren is a wonderful role model and formen, George Clooney has to be the ultimate sil-ver fox.

To be factual, grey isn’t really a colour at all. Haircolour pigments range from shades of white, red,brown and black and this pigment comes frommelanin (located in hair follicles). As the humanbody produces less melanin with age, then hairbecomes grey as you grow older.

I am often asked, why do some people turn greyearlier than others? There are two answers. Firstly,heredity – it’s in your genes and there is nothingyou can do to change it. The second is stress andlife situations. Parents who blame their teenagedchildren for premature grey hairs actually have apoint. Stress hormones can interfere with haircells, making it hard for the pigments which maintain the original hair colour to survive. Some people look stunning with grey hair, while

Money Matters

Investing InInflationary Timesby Jacqui Moyies

by Jacqui Moyies

The question is where to start?Opportunities for attractive income still exist inthe corporate bond market, however investorsare having to be increasingly selective.

One of the most efficient ways to beat inflationover the longer term is to invest in the stock market and take advantage of the dividends paidby companies. After a couple of leaner years inthe teeth of the recession, the earnings of UKcompanies are looking far more healthy. On theback of those profits the outlook for dividends ismore positive.

Diversification is also key in balancing risk and returns. Inflation also brings particular problemsfor people about to retire because even a lowlevel of inflation will seriously dent pensioners’fixed incomes over a number of years.

Inflation and uncertainty go hand in hand, but itis even more marked given the current economicturmoil. It is why investors are going to have toexplore all the options to make the most fromtheir savings and investment – and maybe takinga step up the risk ladder.

nflation can cause havoc for your personal finances as it erodes the real value of our

money over time. Inflation is creeping upwardsand could yet rise above the 5 per cent later in theyear.

If inflation ran at the Bank of England’s intendedtarget of 2 per cent, the sum of £100,000 wouldbe worth £67,297 in real terms 20 years later. However at 5 per cent the original sum of£100,000 would be worth just £37,689 in 20 years’time.

Basic rate taxpayers need to earn interest of 5.25per cent on their savings in order to make a realreturn on their money once CPI inflation is takeninto account. Higher rate taxpayers are in an evenworse position, needing returns of 7 per cent tostop the value of their deposits being shrunk byinflation. But with interest rates at rock-bottomlevels, accounts paying such high rates are veryfew and far between.

In inflationary times, when the real value of levelincome payments is eroded over a few years, it isimportant to find good and increasing sources ofinvestment income.

This is the big dilemma for many savers today.

Not unreasonably, they do not want to lose apenny of their hard-earned cash. But with increasing life expectancy and potential long-term care costs to consider, they will needtheir money to work harder for longer – and this islikely to mean taking on more risk.

risk losing their licence, so it is quite clear which isthe greater deterrent to speeding”, said Mr Hickman.

However, ACPO feel there is room for flexibility;"Clearly if someone is breaking the speed limitoutside a school at 3.15pm, it's a no brainer andthey would be punished. But at 3am when streetsare empty, there is a degree of discretion”, said thespokeswoman.

'Get-out-of-jail-free card?'Chief Examiner at the Institute of Advanced Motoring said that they supported the changes,"We don't feel it’s a 'get-out-of-jail-free card' asdrivers can only attend one course in a three-yearperiod, so repeat offenders will still be hit withpoints on their licence.” Essex Police were one ofthe 37 forces who have endorsed the new guide-lines, but the Metropolitan and City of Londonforces have not.

ost English and Welsh Police forces haveadopted new speeding guidelines that

could allow motorists to travel at 86mph - 10%above the limit, plus 9mph – whilst avoiding pointson their licence by paying for a speed awarenesscourse.

Previous legislation allowed 10% above the limit,plus 6mph, but 37 of the 44 national forces at a recent meeting of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) agreed to the changes.

Education, not punishment.An ACPO spokeswoman said "Evidence suggeststhat if people are sent on educational courses, ratherthan being punished with fines and points, they areless likely to reoffend in the future".

Courses could now be offered at up to 42mph in a30mph zone, a major concern for critics such as JoelHickman, from road safety charity Brake. "If you hit achild at 30mph, it's the equivalent of that childfalling out of a three storey building. Driving at42mph would give that child no chance of survival”,argued Mr Hickman.

Wrong message"It sends out a message that it's ok to speed, whichit certainly is not. It results in huge numbers ofdeaths and casualties, and speeding is a factor in aquarter of all crashes”. "Many people would ratherpay £100 for a course than accumulate points and

Remove and brush the base with a little of the eggwhite to seal it and return to the oven for 3-4 minutes until the base is crisp and golden. Setaside. Lower the oven to 160c/fan 140/gas 3

Place the milk, cream and sugar in a pan over amedium heat and slowly bring to scalding point.Take off the heat and stir in the chocolate untilsmooth. Lightly beat the eggs, then whisk into thechocolate mixture, then pour into a jug.

Peel and slice the bananas and arrange over thebase of the pastry case. Pull out the oven shelfhalfway and place the tart on the baking sheet.Carefully pour in the chocolate mixture and slidethe oven shelf back in. Bake for 35-40 mins untilthe filling is just wobbly in the centre(it will firm upas it cools).

Wait for the tart to get cold, cut into wedges andserve with whipped cream.

his is quite a decadent dessert, but handy as itcan be made the day before, kept in the fridge

and then brought to room temperature beforeserving. The hazelnuts in the pastry give it a lovelycrunch and flavour. This is a large tart that serves atleast 12. If you want to make a small tart halve theingredients and use a 20cm/8in tart tin.

Enjoy!

650 mile smileTeam members : Nick Robins, Alison Robins, Neil Robins, Garry Nelson,Tracy Reschwamm, Chris Nelson, Andy Metcalf, Dan Garside, Clive Shiretand Mike Whistler.

n Saturday 1st October, 10 friends from theSouthend area will set off to ride 650 miles

from Southend (Scotland) back to sunnySouthend-on-Sea (Essex), their aim being tocomplete the ride in 8 days. The event has beenorganised to raise money for two very worthyCharities, Havens Hospices and The WillowFoundation.

Late last year the idea of doing a long bike rideinstead of another marathon was brought up.Wanting to do something a bit different and toend up in in our home town of Southend, a briefGoogle search uncovered another Southend onthe Mull of Kintyre, approximately 650 milesaway. After a few chats in the pub, a group of 10riders was gathered together to start organisingthe big event.

The team fly to Glasgow on Friday 30th September and start the ride the followingmorning on 1st October. Each day they will becycling 80 miles on average although day 2 is agruelling 90 plus miles, including the dreadedhill climb called "The Rest and be Thankful". Theroute takes them through Glasgow, on to Gretnathen across the Yorkshire Moors. On day 5 thegroup head down through Lincolnshire and onday 7 arrive in Cambridge. The last day, Saturday8th October, is a mere (!) 65 mile pedal homewith a final destination of The Pier.

At the time of writing this article, the group hasraised a total of £5000 towards their target of

O £20,000 which will be split equally between the2 Charities. One of the riders, Mike Whistler, isalso riding in aid of the RNLI to help raise moneyfor the new boathouse in Southend. If you wouldlike to sponsor them, please go to:http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserPage.action?userUrl=CycleSouthend2Southend&faId=126998&isTeam=true.

You can also follow their progress on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Southend- 2 - S o u t h e n d - C h a r i t y - B i k e - R i d e -2011/233870516651935

The riders would like to thank GreensHealthfoods and Richardsons Cycles, both ofLeigh-on-Sea, for all their help in organising theevent. We would also like to thank Linda Nelsonand Penny Shiret for looking after us with thesupport vehicles.

R-r-r-ip – is thata torn muscle?

Health & Beauty

01702 478924

By Sandy Tubby MSc, M.C.S.P., Grad Dip Phys

Sandy is a physiotherapist specialising in sports andexercise medicine. She has many years experienceworking in the NHS, private practice and withnational sports teams. Contact her via Shambhala

Sponsored by:

ou won’t hear a thing, but you’ll probablyfeel a twinge of discomfort or a sharp pain,

and the next thing you’ll notice is swelling orbruising, although depending on the kind andlocation of the tear there may be no visible bruising. Your skin in the affected area may feelhot, and you may notice that it’s red and tender.

You’ve torn a muscle, either by overstretching ormaking a sudden movement without havingwarmed up properly. It’s painful, but you candeal with this common problem straight awayby following the PRICE regime:

P = protection which means ensuring youdon’t repeat the movement that caused the tearin the first place.

R = rest: which doesn’t necessarily meanlounging on the sofa! It can simply mean tomove the muscle gently but make sure you don’task too much of it.

I = ice: apply an ice pack for 20 minutes everyhour. A bag of frozen peas works well and thecold can help to reduce the discomfort andswelling.

C = compression: apply supportive or crepebandage to the area if appropriate

E = elevation: keep the limb above the level ofthe heart for 20 minutes every few hours

If you follow this regime for 72 hours, you shouldbe on the way to full recovery though this naturally depends on other factors such as fitness state, your age, medical conditions anddrugs used.

For a minor tear you will probably be back to fullfitness within three to four weeks; a major tearcould take six weeks or longer.

A qualified physiotherapist may offer acupunctureto ease discomfort and a form of massage calledmyofascial release, which ensures tissue aroundthe site is not affected, followed by a graded rehabilitation programme to enable your returnto sport and everyday activities.
