A warm welcome to August 2013’s issue ...
Mansfield 1st!
Issue 10 August 2013 1st Mags Kay Yeates Mansfield 1st Paula Yeates (owner) Kay Yeates 01246 828074 / 07789 390124 01246 828378 kay@mansfield1st.co.uk www.mansfield1st.co.uk The Brambles Station Road, Bolsover, Chesterfield, S44 6BH ’s issue is Wednesday 21st August
A big hello again to everyone in Mansfield, the summer holidays are looming we need more sunny days! I hope you will over the coming months make good use of and enjoy your copy of Mansfield 1st! As we are still a new publication to Mansfield and I thought I would tell you a bit about us - I have a wonderful partner, Paul, a brilliant Dad, Rich, and five fantastic siblings aged from six to twenty-four - so am very, very lucky and fairly busy! Paula set up her 1st magazine as a place for my dad to advertise his business when they were struggling to afford a regular advertising campaign in local papers - hence our mags are great quality but low cost - we find that our readers also hang onto them until the next one drops through their letterbox. We found that many businesses agreed and loved the mag; this has resulted in our expansion over the last six years and culminated in the launch of this new issue. Now in 2013 we have seven mags being produced each month - ‘Chesterfield 1st’, 1st Mags Chesterfield South’, ‘Bolsover, Clowne & Barlborough 1st’, ‘Mansfield 1st’ (Kay Yeates), Worksop 1st’ (Nicky Fisher), ‘Dronfield 1st’ & from April ‘Sheffield 1st’. With the demise of local free advertising papers we identified a further gap in the local market for a low cost but good quality advertising service; we make no pretence that we are anything other than an affordable forum for local businesses, trades people, Clubs & Societies to let the local community know what they have on offer….. We are not a lifestyle magazine and do not report news, however, having said that if you have community / local news / events that would be of interest to your fellow Mansfield residents then please send it to us and we will do our very best to feature it - we also offer reduced rates for charities and non profit organisations. We are self funding and completely independent so our mags rely on the support of local businesses to facilitate their existence and I would like to take this opportunity to thank firstly our existing advertisers for supporting us with this new issue and secondly the Mansfield based businesses who have taken the plunge and supported us - we hope you are pleased with the result! 14,000 copies of ‘Mansfield 1st’ are printed and delivered and will reach around 49,000 local residents - it will also be available to view online at www.mansfield1st.co.uk along with our other issues. If you are a local business looking for a cost effective and productive way to advertise your services, then please check out our very affordable prices on page 23 or give me a call for a friendly tailored solution to your advertising needs.

Julie’s Travel Column Its that time of year, Schools are nearly out!, and families, couples, wanting to get away!! We might be into July already but there are still plenty of opportunities to get school holiday breaks, right up to the end of term and into the holidays as well!! - don't forget also different school holidays for different areas, so if you can choose other airports apart from the local, you may find the flights are cheaper!! There are still loads of people who haven't made their minds yet as where to go? - Is it this country? ( as I write this the weather has been brilliant), loads of breaks with Butlins. Haven, Hoseasons, We British know we can have fun what ever the weather! So book something with an Indoor pool area, or adrenaline loaded activities! Of course you can go abroad, great weather, great food, It can work out as cheap to go all inclusive as it is to go half board or self catering, depends what you like to do!, I personally like to go self catering so you can walk out, go to different restaurants each night, grab a chair sit have a drink and watch the world go by - Its different if you have children, they want drinks, ice creams, all throughout the day, and on the All Inclusive break they can have that whenever they want, and you don't mind that they have 2 sips and its gone flat, cause you know you can get another. I quoted a lady yesterday half board to Majorca for Aug at £729.00pp for 7 nights in Palma Nova, but then offered her All Inclusive for £865.00pp the difference was £19.42pp per day - could you get lunch, all drinks, (soft or alcoholic), Ice creams, for that price?? - she bit my hand off - another happy customer

As approaches its 30th year, it is generally considered that it’s future has limited potential whilst the words “Organ” & “Society” remain in its name, often giving a false impression to many people.

£ The Money Coach £
It’s our belief that the cost of investment is too high and must be driven down. In recent years investors have placed their trust in the established financial institutions but have been poorly rewarded. For example, homeowners have been unable to repay their mortgages because endowment policies failed to produce the returns they were expected to deliver. Borrowers have been encouraged to take on ever-increasing debts using credit cards and unsecured personal loans. And investors have taken stock market investment risks but have not been paid the full return for taking such risks. You could be forgiven for expecting highly paid, highly skilled fund managers would be able to easily beat the returns provided by the UK stock market as measured by the FTSE All-Share Index. The truth is shockingly different: No-one could reasonably object to paying higher charges if higher returns were achieved. But paying higher charges and getting lower returns just doesn’t make sense. The investor is
Are You Getting the Return You Deserve for the Risk You Are Taking?
paying too much and not getting rewarded for the higher costs being incurred. We believe the investor deserves more. Many investors are getting a very poor deal at the expense of commissions, charges, and expenses. It is time for change - it is time for investors to get the lion’s share of the profits and that means the institutions and fund managers should get less – much less. Consider this: The FTSE All-Share (1986-2003) has returned 8.99% per annum. The average UK fund manager has returned 6.80% per annum. The investor average return is just 4.10% per annum.
for higher costs usually involves higher risk. In our view, this simply does not make good sense. With the above in mind we will be hosting a FREE Financial Bootcamp seminar in September to help those interested understand the way of the Financial World. I can guarantee it will be time well spent! Register your interest by calling us on 01246 205016 or contact me directly at andrew.mackay@cheethamjackson.com
Clearly there is a major discrepancy between the published and the actual figures! How can this be? Typically, investors are told the Annual Management Charge is 1.5% per annum. But this is only part of the cost. There is more – much more. The truth is that extra costs – such as Total Expense Ratio and Portfolio Turnover Rate - add up to a much more expensive 3% to 4% per annum on typical retail funds… What this means is that your fund manager has to make the investments grow in value by the same amount as the charges, simply to maintain the original value of the investment. Aiming to achieve higher returns to compensate

www.johnsplants.com The most important thing this month is to enjoy your garden; heady scents, bright colours, an abundance of fruits and vegetables and hopefully more sunshine.The two most important jobs this month would be to ensure that your containers and baskets are well watered/ fed and deadheaded, feeding with a high potash feed once a week. Another essential job would be to remove all weeds from your borders as they compete against your plants for moisture. Container grown shrubs and perennials can still be planted but must be well watered until well established, a wide range of both are always available some in flower or bud to give a continuation of summer colour and fill gaps in borders and containers. Time to prune the wisteria by shortening all long shoots, which are growing out from the main branches back to five or six leaves Give herbs and lavender a light prune after flowering this will keep them compact. prune back all perennials that have already finished,Trimming of perennials and shrubs might also encourage a second flower flush especially
hardy geraniums, wiegelia, and roses. In the green house continue to make sure your tomatoes are adequately staked and the green house is very well ventilated , if you have around five trusses take out the tip of the plant so there is a good chance of development and allow for ripening before autumn. Pests and diseases usually flourish this time of year so take a walk around the garden and inspect for any problems, it is far easier deal with if caught early. One thing to remember is that if you have to spray try and do it late evening when there is less chance of killing bees and other beneficial insects. If you need any advice or quality garden plants and products then visit us at Doncaster road langold, or check out our web site, always happy to help.

Jack and Jill went up the hill…. On a journey of marriage that they expected to climb together, but what happens when the hill becomes too steep, and they just can’t face the incline anymore? The inevitable tumble – trying with all their might to avoid the breakages. It seems harsh, doesn’t it?, but that is exactly what the divorce process often appears to be for separating couples; what starts out as desire to reach the top together, ends up in a downward spiral, with a lot of heartache, loss of esteem and costs. The thought of dealing with the fall alone and unaided can be daunting, but the fear of costs can be even more overwhelming, leaving couples tempted to try to deal with the cracks themselves, and often ending up distraught. Recent press reports about the demise of legal aid, along with stories of high profile, big money divorces ending with costs of hundreds of thousands of pounds, have certainly done nothing to allay fears, sensationalising the divorce process and its costs, and leaving couples heading for the courts alone. However, the thought of dealing with divorce alone and unaided is equally daunting, and the results can be

devastating. Michelle Cooper, partner and head of Graysons WE’s family law department, sees every day the difficulties that occur when people do not get the right advice early enough. Michelle says “On many occasions I see people who have got themselves into a real mess by leaving things too long before getting advice, and trying to deal with matters themselves to ill effect. By the time they get advice the situation is either very bad and takes a lot of unravelling, and/or they increase their own costs because of the time it takes to sort out and reverse the difficulties they are in. The scaremongering in the press has not helped at all; the big money cases reported are exceptional, involving multi- million pound assets, and, despite what many people think, legal aid is in fact still available in some cases.

JUDGE JANE... . I’m just in the middle of a “loyalty” storm – by which I mean I am being forced to consider what the word really means in all sorts of environments to which I am connected. For example I went to buy dog food from a large pet store and was asked if I would like to have their VIP loyalty card. When I enquired what value this represented to me it was explained I could expect to take advantage of certain offers only made available to those with this card. I am more than aware its real value is to the retailer and said as much when I declined. I know they would use the card to plot my purchasing behaviour and determine whether I react to “offers” in the shop, on the internet or both. In other words am I going to be the type of customer they want and if so can I be persuaded to spend more? It’s all very cynical and a long way from the days when I called at a local shop to buy only what I needed from people who I knew lived locally and to chat about unimportant things like births, marriages and deaths while we engaged in the sale process. In the latter I didn’t need to be offered a card to prove their loyalty to me it was evident in everything they did. The pressure put on companies large and small to establish brand loyalty is enormous. Last month I discussed the issue of gas and oil production and how many of the big names spend millions disguising their unsafe practices. They do this using a variety of means including sophisticated advertising campaigns as well as involvement with “good causes”. The organisations challenging them are r egularly made out to be “oddball” groups full of strange, hairy people with weird dietary habits. These negative portrayals are used to place pressure on people to
modify their views and opinions for fear of being seen as “different” or “abnormal”. It’s a form of bullying and should not be seen as anything else. I was listening to a radio program recently that told the story of how Coca Cola is involved in healthcare in rural Africa. What price does brand loyalty bring in this environment one asks? Its representatives apparently show individual members of local communities how to spread the word about various medicines and health practices and gain financial reward at the same time. In societies where individual survival is often dependent on the kindness of strangers it should be of concern to everyone to discover that the pursuit of profit is being made more appealing than loyalty to one’s community. I found it difficult to comprehend how a company with so many bad production practices and which has played a part in the western obesity epidemic can be permitted to get involved in delivering very lucrative healthcare products and medicines in developing countries. Closer to home I had a call from a business contact today. At the age of fifty nine and after forty years with his employer my contact found himself being sold along with the business to new owners. His hard work and loyalty as an employee has enabled his former boss to build wealth sufficient for a comfortable retirement. My contact has always been on minimum wage and has never earned enough to do other than pay his bills and enjoy small occasional luxuries. After the sale was completed his old boss disappeared without saying either goodbye or thanks for all his loyalty. The new owners in their turn took what they needed from him and then made him redundant. I could only
JJane listen and attempt to show that I understood why he felt so disappointed. It may not seem obvious to you when I say my loyalty is to him not his former boss but, my view is that without the hard work and commitment of this man my former client would not have had the business that paid me for my work. Loyalty is an important part of our commitment to each other both socially and personally. It oils the wheels of daily life and enables us to respect those close to us and to trust that we will treat each other with regard. Big business cannot extract our consistent loyalty until such time as it treats us as individuals to be respected not things to be exploited. Small business needs to remember it will never achieve anything without the support of others and to recognise it cannot place a value on the loyalty it gathers from the local community. If you have a story to tell about how your life is being impacted by the cuts, corporate greed and/or mismanagement of public/private services you can email me with them at jjjustmyopinion@gmail.com
It’s just my opinion!

Grown Ups 2
The Lone Ranger
Coming from Disney Studios and director of Pirates of the Caribbean Gore Verbinski this is set to be a big budget outing hoping for some of the popularity and profits they experienced with Pirates. They even have Jack Sparrow himself in a starring role. First appearing on a radio show in 1933 and then a popular TV series from 1949 to 1957, The Lone Ranger is instilled as a cultural American icon. Even if you haven’t watched anything to do with these characters, everyone knows the characters of The Lone Ranger, his American-Indian friend Tonto and his horse, Silver. Who doesn’t know the phrase, “Hi-Ho, Silver! Away!”? Armie Hammer ( ) takes the lead as the title character and Johnny Depp
( ) is his trusted side-kick in this offering. The film follows the duo as they try to bring justice to the American Old West. Not usually far from Depp in a feature film, Helena Bonham Carter is in a supporting role along with Barry Pepper ( ) and William Fichtner ( ).
