National Book Start Week

This year national Book Start week is between 6 – 10 June and the theme is under the Sea. Libraries will be celebrating the week with especially themed Baby Rhyme Times.

At Cheriton library this will be on Monday 6 June between 10.30am-11am. Please come along and join in, the group are very welcoming.

These sessions will be delivered in fun and entertaining ways. They will be a great opportunity for parents, carers and children to experience sharing rhymes and stories in a lively and relaxed environment.

Just ten minutes of reading with a child each day can have a really positive impact on a child’s life chances by introducing them to rich language, new ideas and making them eager to learn. It is also valuable to the child to get in to the habit of visiting a library regularly.

Kent libraries have a lot to offer families: • Library cards for children and adults are free, and you can use them as often as you want.

• Children can have up to 30 books at any one time on their card, with free ordering and no fines.

• Books can be borrowed from and returned to any library in Kent.

• We don’t charge for damage to books borrowed by pre-school children – we understand accidents can happen and want to encourage families to continue using our family-friendly services, sharing stories and rhymes together.

• Explore our board books and picture books, big books, simple information books, storysacks and stories on CD, all for younger children, as well as any items for older children, teenagers and adults too.

• We have many online services, including our entire library catalogue.

• You can order books online, check your own card, renew books and browse our other services 24/7.

• Use our free computers. Did you know children at school can have free printouts to help with homework (up to 5 per day) • Our libraries now have eBooks and eAudio books For more information visit the Library website: www.kent.gov.uk/leisure-and-community/libraries 6 CHAS03 Magazine A/W.indd 6-7

Confused about the EU Referendum?

i’m sure that i’m not the only one confused about the up-coming Eu referendum on June 23 and the pros and cons of staying or leaving the Eu. On the face of it, Britain leaving the EU and becoming an independent state with free trade and more control over its legislation, fishing, borders and future seems like a good idea.

The complexity of a Brexit might not be as clear cut, or as one sided as I thought. Like many people in the UK, I’m now frantically reading up and questioning both sides of the argument as the referendum draws closer. How we vote, and the long term affects will have implications for generations to come.

One of the major concerns and one that has undoubtedly forced the government to call a referendum, is the issue of immigration. As a member state of the EU, there is a freedom of movement of people from other EU states and one argument for exiting the EU would be that we, as a country would regain control of our borders and have more say about the regulation governing immigration.

10 CHAS03 Magazine A/W.indd 10-11

www.communityad.co.uk

There is a counter argument that thousands of Britain’s travel around Europe every year, whether it be on business or holiday, and this would not be as easy to do if Britain were to become independent. Do we also rely to some of these migrant workers to keep the cost of our manufacturing and agriculture cost down? If you were to look at a proportion of unskilled workers in manufacturing, farming, production etc are these migrant workers. So if we left the EU and tightened our immigration to the extent that some would like us to, would we see a shortage of workers? This shortfall could be taken up with English workers that would perhaps be demanding higher rates of pay and better working conditions.

There is also the question whether Britain has lost its identity and by leaving the EU would we begin to get this back. Are we “Great Britain” with our morals, history and patriotism or are we “Little Britain” a subservient state of the bigger European Union? There are concerns that the EU dictates so much of the bureaucracy and red tape in this country, agriculture, farming, fishing etc and it appears that we are paying £55 million a day in EU membership for the privilege. After a lot of searching through the internet, I’m struggling to see that we are actually gaining financially as a direct result of this. It seems there is still a deficit on our investment. The EU does fund some of the poorer communities with grants and subsidies, but surely we could just inject some of the £55 Million a day we pay in membership directly in to this?

The pro-Europe campaigners say that if we stay in the EU is we are viewed as a much more attractive investment for other countries, we get more of a vote of confidence for investment and trade and that by exciting the EU and going it alone. They feel that a Brexit could see us with years of economic uncertainty and that it’s better the devil you know.

Britain, is at the moment is one of the strongest economies in Europe and even the world, so would we be risking this if we left the EU? There have been benefits in being part of the EU, we have better working conditions, cleaner beaches and environment, but equally there have been the negatives of being dictated to by Brussels on what we can and can’t do in our own country and having to follow their rules and regulations.

We will all get to have our say in the referendum on June 23, so make sure you choose wisely with an informed decision.

T Unsung Heroes Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) is renewing it’s appeal to residents to have smoke alarms fitted on each floor of their homes and to test them weekly to ensure they will work when they are needed.

Most people tend to think that having a fire in the home is unlikely to happen to them, but fires can start without warning and when you least expect it, causing damage to your home and potential injury.

This spring, KFRS is supporting the latest National family-friendly campaign from Fire Kills, which encourages smoke alarms to be seen as the family home’s ‘unsung hero’, using smiley-faced smoke alarm images in it’s advertising materials.

Firefighters will be encouraging residents to make a pledge to test their smoke alarms weekly, and to link it to weekly activity that they carry out.

KFRS fire safety manager Martin Skeet said: “Working smoke alarms provide early warning in the unfortunate event of a fire, allowing vital time for occupants to escape from their home. Smoke alarms really do save lives, as we have seen on numerous occasions, so by getting in to the habit of testing them weekly you can make sure they will work when you need them most.”

He added: “I would also advise all households to make an escape plan and practice it with each member of the family so that everyone knows what to do in the event of a fire.”

If you discover a fire in your home, leave your property immediately, close the internal doors behind you where possible and call 999 for help.

Never go back inside, or try to tackle the fire yourself.

The Shorncliffe Trust Shorncliffe Garrison (above Sandgate and stretching back into Cheriton) will always be synonymous with Sir John Moore, and the training and development of the Light Infantry, as well as the Birthplace of the modern army. The mission of the Shorncliffe Trust is to preserve as much of the over 200 years heritage of the site as possible and use education to promote this. This is why the Trust re started the annual Shorncliffe Lectures in 2014 at Shorncliffe itself, but also publish these in the Shorncliffe Lecture series of books, each designed and written to bring something new or neglected to our shared history.

2016 is set to be a busy year for the Trust, once more promoting at home and abroad the shared history and story of the people who passed through the camp; a story which with the Royal Regiment of Gurkha’s is still unfolding. In 2015 we marked the 200th anniversary of the Gurkha involvement in the British army at the annual Sir John Moore Commemoration at Sandgate in January, honoured and acknowledged by a deputation from the Regiment by an honour guard of Officer, piper and bugler who played the last post. This began a closer relationship with the regiment stationed at Shorncliffe, which continued as our guests at the lectures and will be cemented in 2016 by joint community projects.

In a year of anniversaries, 2015 also saw the Trust welcoming various local dignitaries, including Damian Collins MP, the Mayors of Folkestone and Hythe, a representative from the Canadian Military and a deputy of the Lord Lieutenant of Kent, to a commemoration of the arrival of the Canadian Expeditionary Force 2nd Division to Shorncliffe

100 years ago; an upbeat event with The Shorncliffe Military Choir singing songs from the period.

2015 was also the bi-centenary of the Battle of Waterloo, fought on the 18th June 1815. The Trust represented the memories of the men from Shorncliffe and Kent who fought in that battle, both at home by providing guided walks, and at ceremonies at St Pauls Cathedral and in Belgium, laying a wreath on the battlefield.

On the cards for 2016 will be the fruition of a plan to return an original WW1 lorry to France on the first day of the Somme 1st July. Watch out for items on Operation Vincent.

For more information on the work of the Trust, to enquire after publications or to share personal anecdote’s on the Garrison, contact Chris Shaw (Chairman) chris. shaw@shorncliffe-trust.org.uk or Sue Law (Secretary) secretary@shorncliffe-trust.otg.uk Website www.shorncliffe-trust.org.uk

Folkestone Running Club Many members of Folkestone running Club were pounding the local streets over the winter months as they all took on the 26.2 mile challenge of a Spring marathon.

In total 27 members successfully survived the challenge with one member, Stuart Sprinks completing two marathons in a fortnight! Stuart ran the Belfast marathon in a time of 3.24.32, just two weeks after completing Brighton in 3.17.50.

There were a record 17 runners that ran the London marathon, although it was Paris that was first on the racing calendar as Lloyd Worsley (2.53.43), Paul Bartlett (3.54.21) and Stephen King (4.14.14) set the ball rolling in the first weekend of April across the Channel. The following week, Simon Coffey ran the Manchester marathon in a time of 3.34.33, whilst in Brighton a week after this, there were runs from Darren Crew (3.41.02), Alan Fletcher (4.03.03), Aldous Hosking (4.04.50), Jo Peers (4.09.56) and Malcolm Gibbs (4.48.20).

Folkestone took a full coach of runners and supporters alike up to London on the 24th April and there were some fantastic times recorded in near perfect conditions. Veteran, David Weekes led the club home in 2.52.31, before he was joined by a cluster of runners who all had an amazing run.

14 CHAS03 Magazine A/W.indd 14-15

Please mention

Andrew Fletcher and Phil Hoyland coincidentally recorded identical times of 2.55.34, ahead of Peter Rider who superbly ran 2.55.49 and Kevin Newman who clocked 2.58.25 to also successfully run a sub 3 hour time.

Andrew Noble followed in an excellent time of 3.04.45 and behind him were Deborah Jeffery (3.11.21), Tim Warren (3.12.41), Chris Addison (3.22.58), David Smyth (3.23.23), Nikki Goodwin (3.32.10), Caroline Curtis (3.34.59), Chris Woolgar (3.36.09), Catherine O’Connor (3.41.14), Catriona Watts (3.54.14), Ray Johnson (4.12.50) and Julie Gibbs (4.16.43).

Many runners ran ‘good for age’ times this year, meaning they will automatically secure London places for 2017, which is great news for Folkestone Running Club. It is now time for their runners to sharpen up and run shorter distances over the Summer months as they move into the inter club relay and track season.

Folkestone is a club for all level of abilities and welcomes anyone that fancies having a go, meeting on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (6.30pm) from the Three Hills at the back of Folkestone Invicta Football Club.

Help Maintain Folkestone Cemetery It was a cold wintry day, drizzly rain in the air, and a small group gathered in a semi circle in front of the Machine Gun Corp. memorial. We were in the old Folkestone cemetery (Cheriton Road) and it was Armistice Day, 11th November 2015.

I was there as Chairman of Shepway and with a poppy wreath in my hand I joined the small damp group of people - veterans, families and Folkestones Mayor as we waited for the service to start. After the service and as we walked to the car I looked back over my shoulder at this Victorian cemetery and made a mental note to come back for a look around.

A week later my partner Richard and I parked up and took a walk round this lovely old cemetery. I noticed that there were many commonwealth war grave headstones and I started to look closer at the other headstones and handsome memorials.

As we walked round it was clear that this lovely Victorian cemetery contains so much of Folkestones civic, military and social history, albeit many headstones and memorials are so very overgrown, and I decided I wanted to do something about this.

With the help of a local historian Peter Anderson we started to identify significant headstones and memorials in this old cemetery.

Victorian cemeteries have been neglected across the country and that is true here too with many graves no longer being tended by families as they have moved out of the area or have died off.

After searching online to find out what happens in other areas - the solution appears to be that ‘Friends’ groups are formed who work with the

18 CHAS03 Magazine A/W.indd 18-19

Please mention

local authority to look after the cemeteries - so with that thought in mind I have been working on this idea (and the website).

Just before Christmas I visited the cemetery with Shepways Burial officer so that we could discuss some of the issues (rabbits undermining headstones, etc.) and my historian friend Peter Anderson and I have started to identify significant graves (x3 VC’s, CWG’s, children who were killed in the Tontine St. air raid, etc.). To get started on the work clearing brambles and unwanted shrubs Shepways Crime Prevention officer has already held three Green Gym sessions (working outdoors and keeping fit) and they have made a great impression on areas in the cemetery, clearing weeds and huge self seeded buddleia.

But there is lots more to do, lots and lots - so here is the call to action....if you are interested in finding out more about Folkestones history, if you want to help care for this lovely place, if you want to work outdoors doing something very useful and keeping fit too then please do get in touch and I can tell you how you can get involved.

Finding Aefre

w

If you didn’t already know, Aefre, meaning ‘forever’ in Old English, is the name of our Anglo Saxon skeleton, excavated from the Dover Hill burial site in 1906/7 and housed in the museum ever since.

Many of you will be familiar with the skeleton having visited as children or now with your own children and grandchildren. She has long been an object of fascination for visitors and she will take centre stage in the new museum. We know the skeleton is that of an early Saxon woman, aged about 30-40, however, there is much we do not know about our star exhibit and we have now embarked upon an ambitious project to find out more about our elusive ancient lady by performing a series of scientific tests.

The skull is currently with the Natural History Museum for DNA testing. This will enable us to find out whether she is more closely related to the ancient Britons or Anglo Saxons, suffered with any hereditary diseases, if any dietary adaptations

were present, and even hair, eye and skin colour (if we are lucky).

In February we took out a second molar to send to the British Geological Survey for strontium

and oxygen testing. Fortunately, it took a lot less time than the hour it took the BGS to remove the teeth of Richard III. We also took fragments of rib for carbon and nitrogen testing. The test on the tooth will tell us if she grew up locally or was a migrant. The test on the rib will indicate whether she subsisted on a marine or terrestrial based diet: surprisingly it’s not a given that she ate fish even though they were coastal dwellers.

A further piece of rib (about 0.5g) will go to Chronos in Belfast for carbon dating. We know that she was an early Saxon due to her grave goods but the time frame for her is still quite wide (410660 AD). This will enable is us to pinpoint more accurately in which period she was living.

We will get the tooth back with a tiny piece of enamel removed (so her near perfect set of teeth

will remain so - no sugar in her diet!) and will lose a small fragment of rib, about 1.5g, as this needs to be powdered for the testing.

Skin should be protected from strong sunlight by covering up with suitable clothing, seeking shade and applying sunscreen.

Sunscreen is not an alternative to covering up with suitable clothing and seeking shade, but it does offer additional protection if applied correctly.

When buying sunscreen, make sure it’s suitable for your skin type and blocks both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation.

The sunscreen label should have: • the letters “UVA” in a circle logo and at least 4-star UVA protection • at least SPF15 sunscreen to protect against UVB Make sure the product is not past its expiry date.

Most sunscreens have a shelf life of two to three years.

Tips on applying sunscreen: • To be most effective, sunscreen should be applied liberally. The amount of sunscreen needed for the body of an average adult to achieve the stated SPF is around 35ml or 6 to 8 teaspoons of lotion.

• If sunscreen is applied too thinly, it provides less protection.

• If you’re worried you might not be applying enough SPF15, you could use a stronger SPF30 sunscreen.

The sun protection factor, or SPF, is a measure of the amount of UVB protection. The higher the number,

Don’t spend any longer in the sun than you would without sunscreen. In the UK, the sun is at its strongest from March to October, especially from 11am to 3pm. Try to spend time in the shade between these times. You can still burn in cloudy conditions, even if it is not warm.

Find out your skin type and your sensitivity to sunlight on the Cancer Research UK website.

Water washes off sunscreen, and the cooling effect of the water can make you think you’re not getting burned. Water also reflects UV rays, increasing your exposure. Sunscreen should be reapplied straight after you’ve been in water (even if it is “waterresistant”) and after towel drying, sweating or when it may have rubbed off.

Wear clothes that provide sun protection, such as: • a wide-brimmed hat that shades the face, neck and ears • a long-sleeved top • trousers or long skirts in close-weave fabrics that do not allow sunlight through • sunglasses with wraparound lenses or wide arms with the CE Mark and European Standard EN 1836:2005 BRICKWORK DRIVEWAYS n LANDSCAPING n ROOFING

Painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, will ease the pain by helping to reduce inflammation caused by sunburn. Sponge sore skin with cool water, then apply soothing after sun or calamine lotion. If you feel unwell or the skin swells badly or blisters, seek medical help.

Yes. Take extra care to protect babies and children.

Their skin is much more sensitive than adult skin, and repeated exposure to sunlight could lead to skin cancer developing in later life. Children aged under six months should be kept out of direct strong sunlight.

From March to October in the UK, children should: • cover up with suitable clothing • spend time in the shade (particularly from 11am to 3pm) • wear at least SPF15 sunscreen Apply sunscreen to areas not protected by clothing, such as the face, ears, feet and backs of hands.

Consider sunscreens that are formulated for children and babies’ skin, as these are less likely to irritate their skin.

Some sunscreens may aggravate eczema. Check the label for any ingredients that you know your child is allergic to. Test any new sunscreen on a small area before applying it to the whole body.

Put on your child’s emollient and steroids first, then put the sunscreen on 30 minutes later. Remember to put more sunscreen on regularly throughout the day and especially after swimming.

Heat exhaustion occurs when the body cannot lose heat fast enough. If it’s not treated quickly, it can lead to heat stroke, which is a much more dangerous condition. Signs of heat exhaustion include faintness, dizziness, palpitations, nausea, headaches, low blood pressure, tiredness, confusion, loss of appetite and hallucinations.

Get them to rest in a cool place – ideally a room with air conditioning. Give them plenty of water.

Avoid alcohol or caffeine, as this can increase dehydration. Cool their skin with cold water. Use a shower or cold bath to cool them down or, if this is not possible, wet flannels and face cloths in water and apply to their skin. Loosen any unnecessary clothing and make sure that the person gets plenty of ventilation. Monitor their condition closely.

If you have lots of moles or freckles, you’re risk of getting skin cancer is higher than average, so take extra care. Avoid getting caught out by sunburn.

Use shade, clothing and sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 to protect yourself.

Keep an eye out for changes to your skin. Changes to check for include: • a new mole, growth or lump • any moles, freckles or patches of skin that change in size, shape or colour Report these to your doctor as soon as possible. Skin cancer is much easier to treat if it is found early.

Dover and Deal Decorative and Fine Arts Society If you enjoy listening to excellent speakers talking about a wide range of topics within the scope of decorative and fine arts, then you should join us on the first Tuesday morning of the month (except July / August) at The Guildhall in historic Sandwich.

Our society is under the umbrella of a national association (NADFAS), a registered charity since 1972, which has over 360 member societies in the UK and mainland Europe, all run by local volunteers. There are over 300 accredited lecturers, with over 4,000 lecture titles between them. These professional men and women have to meet strict criteria and attend a competitive selection process to ensure the ongoing high standard is maintained.

We also receive an excellent quarterly magazine, the NADFAS Review that reaches an audience of over 92,000.

Our meetings start with coffee being served from 10:15, which is a great opportunity to catch up with friends and meet new members. The audience is entertained by outstanding lectures giving digital presentations on subjects such as the Impressionists, Paula Rego, Freud to Hockney, William Hogarth, the Wallace Collection, Tracey Emin and many more. The programme is of interest to both men and women and is of a very high standard. The hour-long lecture whistles past as we are transported to different eras, viewing diverse talents and skills that have left their creative mark.

Forthcoming titles include: • Life and Art of Sofonisba Anguissola • Georgia O’Keefe and New Mexico • Grayson Perry - lecture by Ian Swankie • Vintage Fountain pens - lecture by Mark Hill The Society organises an Annual Special Interest Day when a speaker will give three lectures on a subject interspersed with coffee and lunch. We have just had a very insightful and enjoyable day learning about the Arts in Japan as compared to those in contemporary Europe. In addition, our 2015 outings included a three day visit to Oxford and its environs, a day trip to Small Hythe, Ellen Terry’s house, Lamb House in Rye and a fascinating day in Hampstead.

Our summer event was at the Pines - a delightful 26 CHAS03 Magazine A/W.indd 26-27

afternoon listening to a local a cappella trio followed by afternoon tea and access to the grounds. Our 2016 programme includes a three day trip to visit the Historic Houses and Art of Norfolk and Suffolk which promises to be a real treat.

NADFAS has three volunteering arms: - Church Recorders, Heritage Volunteers and Young Arts.

We work with many other organisations in the arts and heritage fields, including The National Trust, English Heritage and The Art Fund. This summer we will be a sponsor supporting selected school children to attend a project run by the Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate.

Do please contact our Membership Secretary on 01227 728518, if you would like to visit or join our Society. The current Annual Subscriptions are £45 for a single membership and £80 for a couple. The visitors’ fee is £5 per lecture. We also hold a get-together coffee morning for new members so don’t be shy!

1 July 2016

Military Cemetery, Shorncliffe The Canada Day Service commemorates the 305 Canadian soldiers who died during WWI and are buried in the Shorncliffe Military Cemetery. A memorial service takes place each year on or near Canada Day at the Canadian Servicemen’s graves at Shorncliffe, which is attended by local civic dignitaries, representatives from the Canadian High Commission and Canadian Provincial Governments, the local British Army Command, War Graves Commission, Veterans and Old Comrades Associations.

Children from several local schools attend and are positioned by Canadian graves and while the adults are laying their wreaths on the memorial, the children lay their flowers on the graves.

This tradition started in 1919 and the Mayor of Folkestone in 1927, stated that as far as Folkestone was concerned, the ceremony should last as long as it was in the power of human beings to do so.

This statement is strongly endorsed by all who participate in the ceremony today.

The service will be held at the Cemetery on Friday 1 July 2016 at 11:30hrs. The Worshipful Town Mayor of Folkestone, Councillor Martin Salmon, will be attending the service and will be accompanied by the Councillors of Folkestone Town Council and representatives from the Canadian High Commission.

Members of the public are welcome to attend.

Registered with Produced in Kent, The Kent Farmers Market Association and Big Barn. Visit us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com Cherry and Jenny retire at the end of March after 13 years at the helm of the Farmers’ Market. The village hall committee is pleased to confirm that Deborah Ovenden is taking over as manager and Mike Vines will be helping with Facebook and internet issues which will make a big difference.

We are sure everyone will support them, particularly during the changeover. Debbie will report directly to the village hall chairman Brian Wilson. There are several exciting ideas so more will be shared as soon as details are available.

Please continue to visit and let us know what else you would like. The hall is a community asset given to local residents to use, so keep Tuesday morning in the village hall in your diaries.

The village hall committee and local community value the market immensely. We would like to thank the founders Cherry, Gwyneth, Jenny and Michael, all our volunteers, stall holders and customers for the support and work over the years. Long may it continue.

Capel-le-Ferne Farmers’ Market Jenny and Cherry reminisce about the last 13 years.

Jenny moved into the village in May 2002,

by September she was on the village hall committee! The committee had been discussing starting a Farmers Market but did not know where to start. Jenny suggested contacting the Kent Farmers Market Association and it went on from there. The original working committee was Cherry Jenny, Mick Marshall and Gwyn Spooner and in April 2003 the market opened. Gwyn retired from the market a few years later leaving Cherry and Jenny running it with Mick offering vital support every week. We all knew our own jobs and worked well together.

We had three main objectives:1. to raise money for the village hall, 2. to support our local farmers & producers and 3. to provide a service for the community.

And we are so proud to have achieved all three.

In fact the amount raised for the village hall exceeds £100,000!

Our many successes over the 13 years, include Taste of Kent Best Farmers Market Award 2004 and Finalist 2015, Kent Technology & Enterprise Award in 2004 also. In addition to these ‘accolades’ we have been interviewed on Radio Kent several times, and also featured on Countryfile and Street Doctor.

Over the years we have held many events including Christmas specials (with Carol singers from the W.I., Fancy dress and Santa’s Grotto), Easter Specials (wearing Easter Bonnets, Easter

Egg Hunts, Easter Bonnet competitions for children and also some baby animals on view), Harvest specials, Cookery demonstrations (one live on Radio Kent) Pancake races in the car park, Wear it Pink Day (for Cancer Research), St. Georges Day, a Smoothie Bike in the car park (cycling to make a smoothie!), and to cap it all Jan Leeming coming along to open our 10th Anniversary special.

We were asked even to do a presentation at the Produced in Kent Conference in 2007, which was quite daunting!

We have worked tirelessly to make the market a success, and there is a lot of work goes on behind the scenes, it is not just a Tuesday morning affair!

We have had to deal with stallholders enquiries, e mails, phone calls, advertising, setting up the Facebook page and Twitter, organising the events & Weekly Draw, refreshments and volunteers, collecting the money, keeping the paperwork up to date etc. We always insisted on public liability insurance, health & hygiene certificates and kitchen registration documentation which has all been kept up to date and on file. We have been checked by Trading Standards, and Dover District Council who have both given us 5* rating. It has all been quite time consuming, but at the same time fulfilling to see the hall full of stalls and customers.

Since we began we have had many stallholders come and go, but we still have Kevin (Bessborough Farm) and Heather (Heathmore Jewellery) who have been with us since the first day.

Cherry and I will miss the ‘banter’ between everyone, but we will still be around as ‘volunteers’.

We wish Debbie all the very best for the future success of the market, with Mike (running the Facebook page), Brian and Jayne ‘in tow’, we feel sure it will go from strength to strength, and hope it continues for another 13 years – sometimes it’s good to get new blood in who will have new ideas.

Jenny & Cherry PS they formally ‘retire on 5th April at 12.00 Please note: The products for sale are produced (in the majority of cases) by the stallholder, in Kent, unless clearly marked otherwise. We should point out that we ensure our producers hold the relevant certificates i.e. a public liability insurance and, where necessary, health and hygiene certificate and kitchen registration documents.

Walking For Health Only a third of adults in the UK are active enough, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Walking for Health is England’s largest network of health walk schemes, helping all kinds of people to lead a more active lifestyle. We’ve done this with great success for over 14 years now, improving thousands of lives.

Our walks are led by friendly, knowledgeable people, specially trained for the job. Along with fellow walkers, our walk leaders provide all the advice and encouragement a new walker needs to build fitness at a pace that’s right for them. In just a short time, a small amount of regular exercise can significantly improve a person’s health, well-being and confidence. From what our walkers tell us, there’s also plenty of laughter to be heard on our walks.

Together the Ramblers and Macmillan Cancer Support run Walking for Health. By sharing our walking and health expertise, we support hundreds of local schemes across England to offer short, free walks.

Our aim is to help more people – including those affected by cancer – discover the joys and health benefits of walking.

To find out about your local walks visit the Walking for Health website and enter your postcode into the walk finder. www.walkingforhealth.co.uk/walkfinder

The society occupies the Old Fire Station in the High Street – one of over 120 Grade II listed buildings in Sandgate – with an extensive archive of local documents and memorabilia which are often the subject of research requests.

The archive team also put on exhibitions to commemorate special events, such as the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.
