ALL ABOUT HORSHAM MAGAZINE
All About AAH Magazine AAH (All About Horsham) is an independent magazine, owned and produced by Ben Morris, a life-long resident of the Horsham District. It is printed every month on high quality gloss A4 paper. Since the magazine was first published in May 2011, AAH has been renowned for its colourful features and superb photography by Toby Phillips. We believe that our editorial content is unrivalled in the Horsham District. Thanks to its “refreshing” tone and innovative ideas including the popular ‘My Story So Far’ and ‘One to Watch’ features, AAH has been a tremendous success, with circulation increasing by 100% in five years. From the outset, we have strived to highlight the best that Horsham has to offer. We do not publish crime or court reports. Instead, we focus on inspirational people, talented artists and musicians, successful businesses, popular clubs, local events and through our close association with Horsham Museum, the fascinating history of the area.

Advertising in AAH It is common practice for newspapers and magazines to cold call businesses with a sales and advertising pitch. At AAH, we do not do this. With such a variety of advertising possibilities in the modern world magazines, newspapers, flyers, radio, internet, social media, even roundabouts - business owners need to carefully consider their options. And we find that most are rightly vigilant when it comes to marketing. So we will not bother you with unsolicited calls or emails. We just put together the best magazine we can, and should you decide that AAH is a good marketing outlet, then we will do our very best for you. If you don’t have an advert designed, we can create one for you free of charge, and we place every sixth advert free of charge as well. With a high ratio of editorial content, combined with high-quality, A4 gloss printing, AAH gives excellent exposure to its many advertisers.

Teachers from a Horsham-based Cuban dance group were recently invited to Russia to teach a master class in the ‘Casino’ style. Having presented their first international workshop in 2015, Nick and Anya Woolley, members of the Guild of Professional Teachers of Dance, travelled to the town of Tambov to demonstrate Cuban Casino. Last December, the duo also gave a public dance demonstration in Havana, at the wonderfully-named Conjuncto Folklorico National de Cuba. www.dancecubano.com 9 99 99 9 99

These are investments that can be enjoyed… Nick: They can be. Cars such as the Ferrari F430 are something to enjoy at the weekend rather than an everyday driving vehicle. If you have the money and have dreamt of driving one, you can buy such a car with the comfort of knowing that it’s unlikely to decrease in value if it is well looked after.
Premier GT sell Range Rovers as well as supercars Presumably they don’t all increase in value? Nick: Certain new supercars will of course depreciate initially. Rather than being bought as an investment, this type of car appeals to somebody who wants the thrill of a modern supercar experience. Instead of buying a car and only taking it out for special occasions, they want a car that they can have some fun in, put some miles on the clock, and experience the pinnacle of automotive technology.
.
At least until another supercar catches their eye? David: We certainly have a few clients who change their cars every six to 12 months as they want a different experience. That is what car enthusiasts are like. Whether it’s classic cars or modern supercars, our job at Premier GT is to help them fuel their passion.

An awful lot of money and hard work goes into these productions and they need to be given time. But I do think theatres are more cautious now. They cannot afford flops so they’re not as willing to take a risk on the unknown. I enjoyed a spell at St George's Shakespeare Theatre, which focused on education and school parties. They would stage several Shakespeare plays in a repertoire involving lots of costumes, so I was working long hours. I did miss the buzz of the musicals, although I returned to St George’s for another season a few years later. That was a mistake, as it's never a good idea to go back to something you enjoyed first time around. Things as never the same.

I fell pregnant with my first daughter at around the time I went on tour with Philomena. It starred Joan Plowright and was one of the most star-studded casts I can recall, although most were just embarking on their careers, including Pierce Brosnan and Trevor Eve. From there, I worked on Blythe Spirit, starring Joanna Lumley, who is perhaps the most warm and friendly famous person I met in all my years in theatre. Theatres were starting to look for new ideas in their shows. One such production was The Black Mikado at The Cambridge, an update on Gilbert and Sullivan's opera with an all black cast. It was great fun, very visual with lots of colourful sequin dresses. A more unusual one was Trafford Tanzi, starring Toyah Willcox, which was set in the wrestling ring. I also worked on The Mystery of Edwin Drood, starring Lulu and Ernie Wise. It was Dickens' last book and was never completed, so .

savings account? David: People will always look for areas to confidently invest their money and by purchasing classic and modern classic cars, they have an investment that is not only going to grow faster than their money in the bank, but also they have something they can look at, drive and enjoy. A good condition, low mileage Ferrari Testarossa (1984-91) could have been bought for £60,000 a decade ago and would now be worth comfortably triple that amount. So, it’s understandable that people are putting money aside for classic cars.

divine, with chunky slices of lean meat soaked in a red wine jus, well complemented by the restrained flavour of the honey roasted carrots. I also enjoyed every morsel of the seared sea trout, a dish that had fantastic colour thanks to a bed of pak choi and a fruity balsamic fish sauce. Like the pork dish, light, subtle seasoning allowed the freshness and natural flavour of the ingredients to shine through.

It also took a while to scrape up the last of the butterscotch sauce with my finger. It was a fine way to round off a very good meal. With great food, great beer and the regulars providing a politely vibrant atmosphere, The Roger Tichborne is well worth a visit. Unlike its namesake, The Tich is the real deal.

As well as a selection of New Forest ice cream for £1.50 a scoop, The Tich menu offers cinnamon rice pudding, home-made pecan pie and cheesecake of the day for £4.95. Toby devoured his lovely raspberry cheesecake in a matter of seconds, whilst I spent a little more time enjoying each bite of my sticky toffee pudding, seeing as it had cost 55p more.
