Every year the Parkway Centre host a ‘One Great Day’ event. This special day is devoted to raising funds for Great Ormond Street and a second charity of their choice. This year the Parkway Centre Manager, Zoe France chose JPC Community Farm as the second charity.

Gossip - It’s what everybody’s talking about.

On Saturday 6th July, the JPC Specialist Motorsports Team and the MCC Biker Crew brought some amazing super cars and bikes along to get the day of fun started. There were lots of stalls to visit and plenty of activities to try, such as, Tummy Ticklers Face Painting, artisan food traders, Rustic Wood, a bouncy castle, ice cream and so much more.

The sun shone all day and the team managed to raise £2282 - half of which goes directly to JPC Community Farm!

Thank you to Zoe and the team at the Parkway Centre for choosing to work with us this year and thank you to all of our volunteers who gave up their Saturday to come down and support the day.

We can’t thank you enough, from all of the JPC Team.

Katie Park - Stylist

With a level 2-3 in hairdressing, my clients know they are in safe, well qualified hands. My favourite cut to do is a graduated bob - it is such a thrill to give clients a new look. Seeing them leave the salon with a surge of confidence is what makes me love what I do.

I love the friendly atmosphere of The Mane Lounge - clients feel relaxed and at ease. Meeting new clients and making each one feel special is what motivates me. I have a level 2-3 in hairdressing and my speciality is up-do’s. I can do them in a classic style or give the client something fresh and modern.

Seeing clients leave The Mane Lounge feeling better about themselves is what brings a smile to my face. I always get excited when a client wants a complete hair transformation - a new cut and colour can make a client feel like a whole new person.

I have a level 2-3 in hairdressing and a level 2 in barbering so I can do a variety of styles.

Choose your practitioner wisely; are they a registered Nurse, Doctor or Dentist? Beauticians may be cheap and easily accessible but they often do not have adequate, in depth medical knowledge to carry out the procedure safely or to administer treatment if there are complications.

Don’t be afraid to ask for registration numbers from their governing body and ask about insurance. Any practitioner operating safely will be happy to show these and be happy that you asked. Mine are displayed proudly in my clinic for all to see.

Ask to see examples of their work. Do they have a social media presence or a website showcasing before and after pictures?

However, be cautious that the photographs haven’t been stolen from another business.

3050

Visit us at: 139b High Street, Yarm, Stockton, TS15 9AY Tel: 01642 785583

Ask about the products that are being used and why they have chosen that particular brand. Research the brand to check that it is a medically recognised brand that has been safety tested.

Don’t be afraid to take control of your consultation. You need to fully understand and be confident in the proposed treatment plan. Ask your practitioner, what treatment do I need to get the look I want to achieve?

Most importantly, don’t go cheap when it comes to your face, no voucher offers or deals. The high quality work from a reputable practitioner speaks for itself. My main point would be to do your research, do not rush into undergoing a procedure, take your time to make the right decision.

Summer is coming to an end and autumn is nigh. Start putting away your floaty dresses and dust off your cosy jumpers.

A new season can be an ideal time for evaluating your look, your personal style may have changed since last autumn or you may want to step out of your comfort zone. Why not challenge yourself? Try a bold colour, a new silhouette or visit a boutique you’ve never gone to before.You will be surprised at how many gorgeous options there are available to you.

A new look doesn’t have to mean an entire wardrobe overhaul, even choosing only one new item can transform how you look, and most importantly it can change how you feel.

A chic bag can put a smile on your face, or a crisp white pair of new trainers can put a spring in your step. Start autumn by looking and feeling your best, let yourself indulge a little.

IN YARM

BARCLAYS, SUPPORTING YARM HIGH STREET

GOSSIP

Having had the privilege of managing Yarm Branch for almost 10 years, I have seen many changes in how a bank operates and the changes in public perception, both good and bad. However, the changes Barclays has piloted in Yarm Branch over the past few months have really blown me away. Yarm was one of only two branches nationally on an initiative that looks at how to support communities where Barclays is the last bank in town with all other banks having closed.

This has now been rolled out to include ten other local branches.

Firstly, there was the change in appearance of the branch. Gone are the clinical bare walls; colour has been introduced with a bold green in the banking hall and in my office, new stylish furniture for customers to use. There’s an area where customers can relax, charge their phones or iPads and enjoy a cup of coffee and also have the opportunity to see an advisor in person or via video banking - whatever their financial need may be. Barclays Yarm can now help customers there and then with queries ranging from discussing their mortgage, current accounts, savings, lending needs - the list is endless.

Basically, if you need a financial solution, we have the facility to help you in branch.

The biggest and most significant change is how I now have more scope to operate within the community. The whole ethos around “Your Bank” is that it is a true and vital part of the whole community, making a positive and noticeable difference. I am a member of Yarm Business Forum which looks at how Yarm, as a whole, can be promoted as a Town and a High Street which has many independent, quirky shops and eateries as well as a plethora of beauty and hair salons. In a nut shell, you can come into Yarm, have your nails and hair done, enjoy a lovely coffee, have lunch and maybe finish off with a piercing, tattoo or even a face lift.

Our status as a bank is adapting and we now have much more of a role in helping local

page 16

businesses, so that we can support each other.

As the face of Yarm Branch, I make sure I am accessible to customers as much as possible, giving out our branch telephone number and my mobile so that customers have the option to phone straight through to get in touch.

So the face of banking is changing in Yarm for the better and this is only the beginning!

Catherine Harris, Branch Manager, Yarm

YARM HIGH STREET NOMINATED IN GREAT BRITISH HIGH STREET AWARDS 2019

My name is

Yarm High Street is in the running to win the award for “Rising Star” - a nomination which celebrates local communities who work to transform their town. The winning High Street of this category will receive up to £15,000 to use for community projects.

The community of Yarm has pulled together to organise events to improve the town, such as a Summer Fashion Launch Day to promote local fashion boutiques and a high street Easter competition with over £500 worth of gifts donated by local businesses.

On the horizon, there are plans for new heritage signs, a ‘Use My Loo’ campaign to encourage businesses to provide access to facilities and free dementia training for high street staff.

Yarm residents have worked hard to maintain the natural beauty of the area, creating ‘Knitted Bags for Life’, as well as doing regular local litter picks and weed pulls. The businesses and residents of Yarm work hard to keep their beloved High Street thriving; we spoke to Sara Fellows who supports Yarm Business Forum with High Street development & business engagement.

She told us, “Yarm Business Forum is thrilled to be short-listed for the Great British High Street Rising Star Awards. It’s been a real collaborative approach with YBF working with Stockton on Tees Borough Council, our local MP, the town council, the local businesses, residents and community groups; all working together to make the High Street look fantastic. Yarm High Street is in the final 10 in England and the only High Street from the North-East, so we hope everyone will get behind us and vote Yarm. You can vote once a day until 7th October and we find out the results at an awards ceremony in London in November. Keeping everything crossed” Visit www.thegreatbritishhighstreet.co.uk to vote for Yarm High Street.

Voting ends Monday 7th October 2019 To see our progress and updates on Yarm, please go to www.visityarm.co.uk or follow us on social media.

IN GOOD TASTE

THE DEVONPORT MIDDLETON ONE ROW The Devonport, located in the picturesque setting of Middleton One Row has changed a little from its 18th century hotel beginnings. It’s coming up to one year now since The Devonport underwent a full refurbishment, and they couldn’t be prouder to be the hub of the local community once again.

while having built a great rapport with local businesses and have provided accommodation for their corporate clients, providing a home from home. A lot of effort is put into making your stay, whether for leisure or business, something you won’t forget and that is demonstrated in their excellent ratings.

This historic venue is the fourth outlet opened in the last 10 years by the local award-winning restaurateurs behind The Bay Horse at Hurworth, Muse and Cena of Yarm.

Located between Darlington and Yarm it overlooks the beautiful unspoilt countryside and banks of the River Tees, it is a fantastic base to explore the area.

New ownership has brought about many changes for the former coaching inn with a delightfully contemporary but traditional look design and a delicious menu of traditional British pub food.

The menu serves classic pub dishes with a modern twist and food is locally sourced where possible with seasonal specials. A favourite is the fish & chips which is an excellent take on a simple classic and can be ordered for only £15 Monday to Friday. On Sundays they offer an extended, relaxed lunch service with roasts including Robin Hirst of Neasham’s roast beef.

As if that wasn’t reason enough to visit the Devonport, the team have developed a packed calendar of events so you are sure to find an excellent reason to go and take a look for yourself.

be treated to the smooth sounds of Jazz with performances from The Joseph Carville Trio. Whilst this is a free event, booking for dinner is essential to ensure you are fed and watered before the band starts at 7:30. Make a night of it because they also have a stress-free Sunday dinner, bed and breakfast stay including a bottle of wine for £99 - this offer is available every Sunday.

Alongside their stress-free Sunday deal there is also an amazing dinner, bed and breakfast offer for only £120. This offer gives you £50 food allowance for dinner.

I mean, why would you not take them up on this offer? This is available on Friday and Saturdays.

Another reason to get yourself over there is their Classic Car Wednesday 3070

meets which are held on the first Wednesday of every month throughout the summer. This regular event brings a whole host of Classic and Vintage cars together for an evening fit for any motor enthusiast.

Including The Devonport’s very own classic beetle named Betty, the meetings start at 6pm and the event draws crowds from all over.

Coming into the winter season, we can expect a whole host of special events that are designed to get you into the festive mood with the likes of a charity quiz in aid of St Teresa’s Hospice and Festive Wreath Making Workshops to name a few.

Already fully booked for Christmas Dinner, the team have arranged a special New Year’s Eve celebration for those who’d like to see in the New Year in style. More details about how to book will be announced on their Facebook page shortly.

But before we get to Christmas, do you have plans for November 1st? Make sure you are here as the owners would like to thank everyone for supporting then in their first year of trading.

Food is served until 8pm and the DJ starts at 8:30pm so you’d best be in the partying mood.

What’s not to love? Eating great food, dancing and then falling into a luxurious bed at the end of a beautiful evening.

My name is Over ÂŁ22,000 raised for local charity with a Motorsports Event and Peaky Blinders themed evening ball.

GOSSIP

IN GEAR

JPC SPECIALISTS MOTORSPORTS IN THE DRIVING SEAT

The highlight of the event was, of course, seeing some special guests enter early as VIPs where they got to access the fair rides for free thanks to Crows Fair and see the cars before the crowds came in which, we are informed, is essential for many of their special guests who would ordinarily struggle at an event like this.

The team at JPC Specialist Motor Sports and JPC Community Farm have had an amazing weekend at Wynyard Hall for their third year with the Prestige and High Performance Motors Event.

They welcomed an unprecedented volume of attendees who have given some amazing feedback about just how special the day was for them, getting up close to some of the finest cars the motor trade has to offer.

They saw fantastic displays from the very best dealerships throughout the North East, which included the LFA from Lexus Teesside and the DB11 from Aston Martin Newcastle. Plus Gibson Motorsport displaying their McLaren P1 GTR and the All new McLaren Senna.

Loyal Privateers also came out in force and displayed some beautiful vehicles, allowing visitors to sit in their cars and start their engines. This year saw the first display of Motability vehicles which is hugely important to the charity for people with special and complex needs - they told us they wanted to show the huge range of vehicles available for adaptation as not many people are aware of just what is on offer in this sector.

DriveNation headed up a thrilling 45 Super Car Parade into the show field and welcomed a number of special VIP guests as passengers.

The fun-filled day ended with a fabulous Peaky Blinders themed ball in the Grand Marquee which was organised by Sleek Events with proceeds going to the charity. Between the day and evening events. A member of the charity told us, “Between the day and evening events, we are thrilled to announce that just over £22,000 was raised for JPC Community Farm. Thank you to everyone who attended both our day time and evening events”. If you’d like to follow their progress, you can follow them on Facebook.
