Guildford, Haslemere & Farnham Family Grapevine
Here it is - the first issue of 2012. And with it comes a new look Grapevine. There have been a few different ‘looks’ over the last 16 years, but since taking over Photo the Family Grapevine Group with Nikki (one of the of founders) mid way through last year, we have worked Editor hard to find something that will withstand the test of changing trends and take us through a good few years to come. Some aspects are still a work in progress, but we are happy with the result now and hope readers and advertisers are as well. So keep an eye on the main website (see above on the heading) which is progressing well and will have lots of information to compliment our printed publications in due course. If you have a good look through this issue, you will see quite a few schools have open days in March. There are also reader offers from a variety of businesses i.e. no booking fee applies if you quote a code for a babysitting service and win a subscription to rent books for your child. You can also use the lovely farm park advert for a discounted entry. There are more, so please support local businesses who are advertising to get their name out there and are working hard to supply you with a great service.

NEW ~ The Notice Board ~ NEW Looking for quality and quantity? Give your house an affordable makeover. When you’re buying new furniture and products for your home, have you ever thought about visiting a reuse organisation? The Surrey Reuse Network offers a wide range of good quality items at affordable prices. Made up of a group of six charities, the network aims to find new homes for donated furniture and kitchen appliances, as well as offering training and employment opportunities and helping local families in need. Buying reusable furniture and kitchen appliances is great value, good for the environment and you might just find a hidden treasure! You could pick up antique style armchairs for £60, a 4-piece table and chairs for £70, a sideboard for £25 and a tall lamp for just £5. Buying reusable items saves them from going to landfill, which is both financially and environmentally costly. To find your nearest reuse showroom call 0800 082 0180 or visit www.surreyreusenetwork.org.uk.
The Saturday Activity Centre, based in Leapale Lane, Guildford offers children between the ages of 5 -13 something different to occupy themselves on a Saturday morning.

The Centre is soon to celebrate its 45th anniversary and we pride ourselves on providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where children of all abilities come back year after year. For a free trial or more information please visit www.saturdayactivities.org.uk or phone 01483-502816
Does your baby use colour to recognise objects? Come to the Surrey Baby Lab and find out! The Surrey Baby Lab at the University of Surrey is finding out about the role of colour in infant object recognition. We show babies a series of coloured objects on a computer monitor whilst we record what they look at using a special camera. Parents are with their baby at all times and the session takes around half an hour. The study has been reviewed and given favourable ethical opinion by the University of Surrey Ethics Committee. If your baby is between the ages of 0-8 months and you would like them to participate or would like further information, please contact us: Dr Ally Clifford and the Baby Lab Team Surrey Baby Lab, University of Surrey, Guildford GU1 4QG Tel: 01483 682915 babylab@surrey.ac.uk www.surrey.ac.uk/babylab

www.unikgifts.co.uk Animal Breakfast Boards Is your child ready for solid food? Do you want to make the weaning journey more fun for baby & you? In Europe meals are usually eaten from a wooden platter. For children these are carved into simple animal shape shapes. Once your little one realises that they are sharing their mealtime with their favourite animal, the feeding process becomes fun and you’ll both forget any worries you had about weaning. Harder than plates to pick up and dishwasher safe, these boards are the essential weaning tool! Tried & tested by our daughter’s, recommended by us!

A mother of two autistic boys from Farnham, Surrey has published a new ebook aimed at helping other parents navigate their way through the special educational needs jungle. While there are other books about the SEN system available, this book, by the creator of the website www.specialneedsjungle.co.uk, Tania Tirraoro, takes a parent-to-parent approach, explaining in detail how to prepare an application for a statutory assessment of special educational needs. Tania said, “I’ve helped many parents with their applications and I realised that what they need is not an overview of the whole system, but a basic ‘how-to’, written in an accessible way. That is what I hope I’ve achieved.” “I’ve been through the process twice and my boys, who both have Asperger Syndrome, now have access to the kind of education they need to help level the playing field in their future lives. Because I had the ability to present their cases methodically, they got the help they needed. Why should other children not have the same as my boys?” The book is available in all ebook formats from Amazon Kindle and Smashwords.com. If parents do not have a Kindle, then Kindle for PC, ipad or smartphone can be downloaded for free from Amazon. co.uk. It makes this book accessible to every parent, instantly. Tania has kindly donated one hard copy of this book, to be given to any reader of The Family Grapevine who has specific need for this information.

Young people get some
HeadSpace A dedicated space for young people has opened at Farnham Library. The HeadSpace area has been designed by young people, and the library service is also encouraging young volunteers to promote the space, plan events and decide what books are stocked. Farnham library’s HeadSpace is inviting young people to read books, listen to music, study or simply catch up with friends over a drink or a bite to eat. The area is for the sole use of young people, aged 11-19 yrs, and is part of the library’s drive to cater for residents of all ages. Danielle Watts, who is one of the young volunteers said: “HeadSpace has changed my impression of what a library can be. I wouldn’t have thought I could enjoy myself in a library before, let alone be allowed to chat, listen to music, organise events and decide what books they stock. “I hope that other young people can enjoy the space I’ve helped to create.” Visit Farnham Library to take advantage of this new space. You can also find out more at: www.surreycc.gov.uk/libraries.

Shed those Winter Blues...and the pounds will follow! OK, so the nights have been long and the days dark...but spring is just around
the corner and brings with it a renewed sense of purpose.
If you have been hiding under those winter layers, then it's time to shed them, reach for the Lycra (yes, really!) and starting exercising!
For a real kick start to spring, Fitness and Weight Management professional, Rachael Elliott-Hughes, offers a complete exercise and nutrition programme that guarantees exactly that.
Called the 'Red Carpet programme', this five week plan will see you shedding body fat, toning muscle and increasing your energy levels.
Rachael will train with you, twice weekly, advise you on how to fit exercise into your life and will overhaul and monitor your diet to ensure you stay motivated and focused.
If you need any fitness advice, Rachael would be happy to help.

The focus of the Family Grapevine has always been to keep it as a local resource of services for families, concentrating on antenatal to 18 years. By the time children are in their early teens some of the information is no longer applicable to them, however I try to incorporate a reasonable amount for that age group. It may not be the teenagers who read it, but there could be something useful for mums and dads to read up on.

Surrey is set to gain greatly from the London 2012 Olympics. Two major Olympic cycling events will be powering their way through the county in July 2012 and teams from across the world are set to use Surrey's excellent range of 20 Olympic and five Paralympic accredited pre-Games training and preparation camps. In addition, the P&G Surrey School Games has given over 2500 young people the opportunity to take part in high quality sports competition across the county and the Olympic Torch is set to brighten the communities of Surrey, by hosting the last evening stop in Guildford before it travels through London. Finally, the Games will bring business opportunities for local companies, cultural and educational benefits for all our communities, and improvements to the health and well being of our residents. Explore http://www.gosurrey.info/ to find out Surrey's plans and achievements for the 2012 Games.
