COMMENT

BEAT THE WINTER TIME BLUES

T

his edition highlights the huge diversity of events going on in the area. The Year of Culture plays a huge part and continues with an exhibition at the Horsham Museum and Art Gallery called ‘Heritage of the District in 100 Objects’ which covers everything from dinosaurs to ploughmen’s lunches, from Roman roads to postal services, from cricket to workhouses and much much more. The new temporary exhibition is on now until 12 October.

Its also that time of year when you need to book your Christmas panto! On page 30 you can read about the brand new production of ‘Peter Pan’ coming to the The Capitol - it will keep you hooked when it opens in Horsham on Friday 13th December until Sunday 5 January 2020. 2019 marks the 90th Anniversary that JM Barrie gifted the rights to Great

Ormond Street Hospital and The Capitol will be organising bucket collections after every performance with the donations going to the Charity.

And if you’re feeling active you can join the St Catherine’s Hospice on Sunday 13th October for a challenging hike through picturesque Sussex. Starting from the South of England Showground at Ardingly, a brand new venue for this year, the hike will take you through Sussex fields and past historic landmarks including the Balcombe Viaduct, Ardingly Reservoir and Wakehurst Place Seedbank. And will allow you to enjoy the changing colours of autumn whilst raising funds for your local hospice. So there’s no excuse for getting the winter time blues! oáÅÜ~êÇ=jáäÄçìêåI Editor E: ÉÇáíçê]ÜçêëÜ~ãéìÄäáÅ~íáçåëKÅçã

LOCAL FIRM NOMINATED FOR AWARD Horsham-based Indigo Tax & Accountancy are flying the flag for the town, having been shortlisted for the prestigious British Accountancy Awards to be held at the end of September, in the ‘Small Practice Innovation of the Year’ category.

I

ndigo provides accountancy and taxation advice and support for individuals and small to midsized businesses from all industries, from all over the Teresa Noon.

UK and even abroad, but they are perhaps best-known for the specialist service they offer for clients working within the entertainment industry.

The firm was born with a view to moving accounting away from the formal and business-like and making it more approachable. Managing director and founder Teresa Noon recognised a need for a transparent, clear and jargon-free accounting service for everyone in business, including those that generally had a limited interest in numbers and figures, but whose financial success in their chosen field required that they kept on top of their accounts.

From the get-go, Indigo flipped traditional accountancy on its head and, as a practice that has always been ready to embrace technology, Indigo is eager and ready to welcome the new ‘Making Tax Digital for Vat’ initiative, having been diligently establishing processes ahead-of-the-curve in preparation for the changes it will bring, to ensure a seamless transition for their clients.

Indigo has increased their focus on cloudbased software and apps and have undertaken extensive training to become experts in their chosen system, Kashflow, who have rewarded their efforts by awarding them Gold Partner status – Indigo is also involved in the Making Tax Digital for VAT pilot initiative between Kashflow and HMRC.

12

OCTOBER 2019

Indigo has grown to a firm of 15 staff and has been trading now for almost 20 years.

They hold Chartered status for both taxation and accountancy. Indigo looks after around 600 individual tax clients and 300 company clients, including many that have switched to them from the larger London firms, following personal recommendation.

Indigo prides themselves on clear communication and transparency. As such, all work is conducted on a fixed-fee basis, which includes all support and ongoing advice throughout the year.

To find out more, to speak to Indigo about accountancy or taxation, or to enquire about company formation and company secretarial services, please visit www.indigotax.com, call 01403 892683 or email info@indigotax.com.

LEGAL ADVICE

PRESERVING FAMILY WEALTH

M

ost couples hope that their estate will pass to their children and grandchildren eventually. But for many this will not happen, unless careful arrangements have been made to protect their assets from being taken towards the end of their life to pay care home fees. To help protect a coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estate, the solution may be a Will incorporating a Trust. A testamentary Trust can only be executed whilst both partners remain alive. Upon death of one partner, their Will specifies that their share of the estate is placed in Trust and names the ultimate beneficiary of this share, normally the children and grandchildren. But under the terms of the Trust the surviving partner has the unequivocal right to remain living in the property and to enjoy the other assets, for the rest of

16

OCTOBER 2019

their life. On the death of the other partner the Trust comes to an end and the estate passes to the beneficiaries. As the surviving partner does not own the deceased's share of the estate it is fully protected for the beneficiaries, so if the surviving partner requires care, or even remarries, this share of the beneficiary's inheritance is protected. If the surviving partner wants to move they can still sell the property and the proceeds be used to purchase a new property; the terms of the trust remain over the new property.

Westminster Law assesses the circumstances of couples and arranges the trust that will provide the best protection for them, their family and their assets. Tel: 01483 256625 or visit www.westminster-law.co.uk

SUSTAINABLE GIVING _ó=gÉ~åÉííÉ=jÉêÅÉê

A

s you read this the nation will be entering the main gift buying season of the year.

Whether you’re someone who plans meticulously and buys in advance, or a confident last minute shopper, we’re hoping the environment will be high on everyone’s list this year!

Plan A little planning really does help - both in environmental terms, and with the accidental overspend so many families suffer at Christmas.

You don’t have to shop early if you don’t want, but a simple list of who you’re buying for and any ideas can be started well in advance. Knowing what you plan to buy saves the last minute panic and inappropriate buy. It also means you can group items being delivered from one company, and make shopping trips more efficient.

Buy local Buying local where you can cuts down the distance goods travel. Shipping plastic toys and novelties from half way across the world is the kind of thing we really need less of. You’ll also be supporting local businesses and their families.

Use or lose?

It’s a shame for your hard earned money to be wasted on something the recipient will never use.

If you’re buying perfume, potions or bathing products, try to find out what they like so you know it will get used. For eco-conscious family or friends look out for solid shower or shampoo bars, and natural or refillable products. Avoid ‘gift sets’ with unnecessary plastic packaging and extras that are just there to fill the box. I can’t count the number of plastic ‘shower puffs’ or body scrubs (neither of which I use) I’ve had in gift sets!

Encourage the makers and repairers Awareness of ‘fast fashion’ and the

18

OCTOBER 2019

importance of repairing what we already own, is seeing a reawakening of traditional craft and repair skills. For a teenager who’s into “vintage” fashion for example, ‘how to’ or inspiring books, threads, pretty buttons or even decent dressmaking or embroidery scissors may be the perfect gift.

Can you team up with other family members to put money towards bigger tools for the keen repairer or maker? The first sewing machine my husband bought me lasted over 20 years, and in that time it tackled everything from craft projects and cat beds, to making clothes and curtains.

Consider buying experiences instead of stuff Tickets to a show, lessons, memberships and subscriptions - they don’t have to be the prepackaged kind, a hand written card can explain the gift just as well. If you have a special skill or know that the receiver is very short of time, why not gift some of your time? A few hours babysitting, help with a garden or home project, may be exactly what they’d value most.

If your gift needs wrapping, avoid papers with foil or glitter, try reusable paper bags, or even fabric bags.

For more ideas on great gifts with less waste, find us on Facebook, Instagram or our website: www.kinderliving.co.uk

RECIPE

TOMATO CHUTNEY If you’re wary of making chutneys and jams start with this easy recipe Preparation time: 40 mins - 50 mins Cooking time: 50 mins Makes about 1.5 litres / 2¾ pints fkdobafbkqp=

1kg ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped 750g cooking apple, peeled, cored and chopped 375g light muscovado sugar 250g onion, finely chopped 250g raisins 1 green pepper, deseeded and chopped 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground ginger 350ml cider vinegar jbqela=

P

lace all the ingredients into a large pan and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.

Simmer the mixture gently, uncovered, for about 45-50 mins or until everything is tender and thickened. Cool, then transfer the mixture to a sterilised jar and seal.

It was always the sterilising that put me off. I thought you had to have heaps of special equipment, but actually it’s quite easy.

elt=ql=pqbofifpb=g^op=

W

ash the jars and the lids in hot soapy water. Rinse but do not dry them.

Instead, leave them to stand upside down on a roasting tray with a raised wire stand (to allow air to circulate) while they’re still wet.

Place the tray of clean, wet jars and lids into a preheated oven at 160-180ºC for about 15 mins.

The trick to jams and chutneys is that the jars and the chutney (or jam) should be hot. Ladle the hot preserve into a heatproof jug to make it easier to transfer the mixture into the hot jars. Be very careful not to touch or get any of the mixture onto the rim of the jars as this could introduce bacteria.

Fill the jars not quite to the top, leave a 1/2cm gap at the top between the preserve and the lid.

While everything is still hot, cover the jars with their lids or top with wax paper and a piece of cellophane secured tightly with an elastic band.

Your chutney should keep for about 6 months in a cool, dark place, though different recipes vary slightly.

MUSIC OF FREEDOM AND DESTINY

C

hrist’s Hospital Choral Society are delighted to invite you to their autumn concert.

Titled Music of Freedom and Destiny, the performance will feature three main pieces.

The combination of his seaside holiday location and a poem inspired Brahms to compose the beautiful Schicksalslied (‘Song of Destiny’) but it took three years before he found the perfect ending. It is considered to be amongst Brahms’ best choral works.

John Rutter’s Feel the Spirit is quite different in style, but this contemporary composer/conductor/producer gives a dynamic swing to the seven brilliant spirituals in this piece.

Finally, Verdi. Many readers will know, if not love, Verdi’s rousing Va Pensiero, perhaps better known as The Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves. In

DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL MAKES A SPLASH St Catherine’s Hospice annual Dragon Boat Festival returned to Tilgate Park in style yesterday (Sunday 8 September), for a fantastic day of free family fun!

T

housands of people turned out at Tilgate to watch 34 teams, made up of local businesses, battle it out to be crowned Dragon Boat Champions 2019.

This included Horsham businesses; Coole Bevis, ERG (Air Pollution Control) Ltd, Fisher Clinical, Forza Doors and Thakeham based in Billingshurst.

Speaking on the day, Trevor Pratt, Group HR Manager at ERG (Air Pollution Control) Ltd said: “ERG (Air Pollution Control) Ltd is delighted to support St Catherine’s again through our participation in their Dragon Boat Festival. The staff at St Catherine’s do such dedicated work, and this year’s race has even more poignancy for us as one of our colleagues unfortunately passed away at St Catherine’s in February.”

Those on the shorelines tried their luck at traditional fête games like hook a duck and tin can alley, whilst younger visitors sprung into action on giant inflatables. And people made sure they looked their best with face paint and glitter, before posing in a photo booth. Visitors also tucked into tasty food from onsite vendors and enjoyed refreshing drinks

from the onsite bar. The bar was provided by Sussex Event Bars, who donated a percentage of profits to St Catherine’s.

On the lake, teams showed true team spirit as they raced across the water in Chinese Dragon Boats.

After a full day of races, in a tightly fought final, FFGS Golf Society powered through and were crowned champions, with a winning time of 52 seconds, which was five seconds faster than last year’s winners.

St Catherine's Dragon Boat Festival is one of the hospice's biggest fundraisers. And by supporting this event, local people have made sure that terminally ill people in their community can receive care and support when it matters most.

Suzanne Davis, Corporate Fundraiser at St Catherine’s, said: “We’d like to thank everyone who supported or took part in our Dragon Boat Festival.

Your efforts take us a step nearer to reaching everyone who needs us. We hope you all enjoyed the day as much as we did!”

TAX TO PAY ON PENSION SCHEME nrbpqflkW=

I

am concerned that I might have tax to pay because I have contributed too much into my pension scheme. I have not received any details from my pension provider. What should I do? ^kptboW

I

f you have contributed more than a particular threshold you would be subject to an annual allowance tax charge.

• Your contributions means both your input, your employers and any final salary (defined benefit) top up.

• The relevant threshold varies from person to person between £10,000 and £40,000 depending on your specific details • If the annual allowance charge applies this would trigger additional tax which can either be paid directly to HMRC or in some cases via a “scheme pay election” in which the tax is taken directly from your pension scheme.

In order to assess and calculate whether you have exceeded the threshold, full details of your contributions would be required. A pension statement is a summary of such details.

The circumstances under which a pension scheme administrator must issue a statement to a scheme member are quite limited: broadly, where the member’s pension input amount for the tax year exceeds the annual allowance.

However, each scheme administrator will only be looking at one particular pension arrangement in isolation. This could be problematic if you contribute to multiple pension schemes.

Please mention SOUTHWATER Life when responding to adverts

Further, since 2016/17 it is possible that the full annual allowance is tapered down to as little as £10,000 if your income is sufficiently high. The pension scheme provider may not be fully aware of all of your income streams so it would not be possible for them to know whether the tapered allowance applies to you or not.

For either or both of these reasons, it is perfectly possible that your total pension contributions have exceeded the available annual allowance without triggering an automatic issue of a pension input statement from any of the schemes that you are a member of.

Despite no pension statement being provided to you automatically, it is entirely reasonable for you to request one from each of your pension scheme administrators. When making your request, you may wish to cite Regulation 14B SI 2006/567 and or the Revenue manual PTM167300.

Annual allowance and tapering computations can be complicated, if you’d like help in assessing and declaring the tax charge once you gathered the pension statements, please contact us for a quote.

Tax Adept offers a range of services which are specifically designed to help you and your business. You can find further information on tax-saving measures in the Resources section of our website: www.taxadept.co.uk. Please contact via telephone on 01403 750046, or visit our website.

HOSPICE HIKE RETURNS Calling all walking enthusiasts and nature lovers! Join St Catherine’s Hospice on Sunday 13 October for a challenging hike through the picturesque Sussex countryside.

S

tarting from the South of England Showground at Ardingly, a brand new venue for this year, the hike will take you through Sussex fields and past historic landmarks including the Balcombe Viaduct, Ardingly Reservoir and Wakehurst Place Seedbank. And will allow you to enjoy the changing colours of autumn whilst raising funds for your local hospice.

The full hike is 13 miles, but there are also 9 and 6 mile walking routes available, and a 3 mile nature trail, making this a family friendly event. Even suitable for the dog!

There will be plenty of parking on the day, and you’ll be greeted with hot food, entertainment and delicious cakes to celebrate at the end of your hike.

Sophie Peckham, Community and Events Fundraising Manager at St Catherine’s said: “We’re delighted to host Sussex Landmarks Hike for a second year. This autumnal hike follows a stunning route through the Sussex countryside and is great fun for all involved.

We hope lots of you will join us, along with your family and friends. Your support will help us be there to provide end of life care for more local people when they need us most.”

St Catherine's is hoping to raise £35,000 from the Sussex Landmarks Hike by asking walkers for a donation or to raise sponsorship. This will allow the hospice to offer expert care to even more local terminally ill people in the future. At the moment, the local hospice can only care for one in three people who need them, but with your help and support, they’re determined to care for everyone.

Advance registration is £8 for adults (£10 on the day) and £5 for children. On the day registration is open from 9am at the South of England Showground at Ardingly. Ready to make your steps count? Gather your walking buddies and register online here: www.stch.org.uk/SLH or call St Catherine’s Events Team on 01293 447364.

HORSHAM MUSEUM

HORSHAM’S TOP ONE HUNDRED

04 Square miles, at least 100 million years, and only 100 objects to explore and explain the rich and fascinating story of Horsham District’s Heritage. If Neil MacGregor can tell the world’s history in 100 objects, surely telling the District’s heritage with the same number of objects should be easy? But it isn’t for many of the District’s stories have lain hidden in plain sight, known to a few.

Now as part of the District’s Year of Culture, Horsham Museum and Art Gallery is unearthing the stories and revealing in the full glare of public gaze the District’s compelling heritage which covers from dinosaurs to ploughmen’s lunches, from Roman roads to postal services, from cricket to workhouses and much much more. The new temporary exhibition, Heritage of Horsham District in One Hundred Objects is at Horsham Museum & Art Gallery and is on now until 12 October. An accompanying book is due to be published and launched at the beginning of October.

OCTOBER 2019

Working with the Horsham District Heritage Forum, the Museum asked the member organisations to nominate their 10 most interesting or important cultural objects. The replies revealed a heritage that makes the District such a fascinating place in which to live. The selection could be seen as quirky, but every object represents a part of the District’s heritage. Who knew that Bramber has a Coaching wall that was built to stop coach travellers peering in to adjoining gardens? Or that Henfield has a musical instrument- a Change eight-bell set-, a one off, that is recognised as nationally significant. Or that Henfield has a Union Jack flag that was used to drape over one of the four “unknown warrior” coffins, ready for the selected one to be interred at Westminster Abbey. Or that stoolball was a local game that took off after World War One, only to decline in popularity in the 1930s, and then to be resurrected in the 1970s. The 100 objects are like points in a compass, directing the visitor across a broad heritage landscape. The exhibition, with its Please mention SOUTHWATER Life when responding to adverts

strong visual images and outline, is in effect a visitor centre to the District’s heritage, and the forthcoming book, on which it is based, will be the travel guide.

The exhibition will feature over 30 of the 100 objects including cricket stumps that formed a shop- sign, a great introduction to the sporting heritage of a game first recorded in the District nearly 300 years ago.

Or the Horshamosaurus, a dinosaur named after the town, portrayed through a specially commissioned painting of the creature.

Also on display will be a silver inkstand, a reward for breeding Merino sheep in the middle of the Napoleonic wars, when agricultural innovation was going hand in hand with the war against France and the District’s Commons were being enclosed.

This is a must-see exhibition that will both surprise and inform, and also reveal just how special is the District’s heritage. www.horshammuseum.org Please mention SOUTHWATER Life when responding to adverts

leas are small, brownyblack, blood-sucking insects that jump onto dogs, cats and rabbits and even bite humans. Adult female fleas lay up to fifty eggs per day; these hatch into larvae that feed on flea faeces and develop into pupae, which survive in the environment for up to a year and with warmth and vibrations become adult fleas.

Fleas are often detected due to scratching and hair loss. If flea dirt is present, brushing the coat onto white paper will reveal specks that turn reddishbrown when moist. Unfortunately, some animals are allergic to flea saliva resulting in skin disease. Ingestion of fleas during grooming may cause tapeworm infection, making it necessary to worm your pet.

Young animals can develop life- threatening anaemia due to flea infestation.

Myxomatosis, a deadly disease in rabbits, is also transmitted by fleas.

Treating fleas can be challenging; many different formulations are available (collars, tablets and spot-ons). Contact your vet to discuss the most suitable product for your pet. It is very important to use a species specific product, as permethrin-containing dog spot-on products are extremely toxic to cats. Treating the environment (floors and soft furnishings including the car) with a household spray is vital, as 95% of the flea life cycle is completed here. Wash pet bedding and toys at high temperatures and tumble dry if possible. Regular vacuuming is encouraged but remember to empty the vacuum after every use to prevent the life cycle continuing inside it.Tel: 01403 791011. www.maltmancosham.co.uk Please mention SOUTHWATER Life when responding to adverts

KITCHENS

KITCHEN RENOVATION ADVICE Alexander have been designing and installing stunning kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms since 1976. With showrooms in Horsham and Worthing they are ideally located for renovations in the West Sussex area.

F

or this edition weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve caught up with Alexander managing director Phil Beechinor who has over 35 years industry experience. Phil (pictured right) has shared with us some of the most frequently asked questions for anyone considering a kitchen renovation.

Do you offer a complete service?

At Alexander we offer a free design and quotation service with one of our experienced designers who will also visit you at your home.

They will discuss with you your personal requirements and preferences before presenting you with a 3D design and fully itemised quotation. This will include all ancillary work and installation to be carried out by our fully employed installation and project management teams.

How much do your kitchens cost?

Obviously clients have varying budgets for their projects. At Alexander we can usually come up with a package to suit most budgets, although we usually suggest that 5% of the value of your home is a suitable figure. This of course is dependent on the appliances chosen, number of units, worktop choice and installation.

What about the quality of your kitchens?

All our British and German kitchens are rigid built and made from the best quality materials and offer comprehensive guarantees. When complemented with durable German appliances and accessories you can be sure that your kitchen will stand the test of time.

What is on trend at the moment?

A really popular concept at the moment is handleless kitchens. There is a huge variety of Please mention SOUTHWATER Life when responding to adverts

door colours, textures as well as different handrail colours to complement different shades. For an ultra-modern look add quartz worktops, vibrant glass splashbacks and the latest specification of appliances and storage solutions.

What is the most important thing for customers to remember when buying a new kitchen?

Go to an independent kitchen retailer instead of a larger national company. Independent retailers are certainly more customer focused and offer a better service as their reputation depends upon it. They can also be more price competitive than you think as well as offering a better service, employing local tradesmen and offering more choice.

If you require further information regarding a kitchen renovation visit one of their showrooms in either Horsham or Worthing. Call 01403 721086 or visit www.alexanderhorsham.co.uk
