s usual it’s been a busy couple of months for the Life in Haslemere team. The annual Haslemere Food Festival, along with the beloved Beer Festival, treated us to a range of local delights. The first ever WineFest taught us about the wonders of local wine. And we were taken back in time with the Goodwood Revival, for a weekend of style and speed. Now as we enter the winter months, our thoughts are beginning to turn to Christmas. While for some this may seem premature, the months will soon pass and before we know it we will be having our annual Christmas crisises. So to avoid the traditional rush, we’ve put together a special early Christmas gift guide, filled with plenty of gift ideas to treat our loved ones to this year. For those feeling anxious about the approaching Christmas Parties, we’ve been talking to Haslemere’s experts discovering ‘dos and don’ts’ for the perfect Christmas do! But don’t worry, if you’d rather keep Christmas out of your mind (well for another couple of months at least!) we’ve also got features on how to get fit this fall, interviews with some of the area’s most talented artists and an indulgent range of dessert recipes to celebrate national dessert month. See you next issue!

Over 400 guests are expected at the official opening of the AppArt Exhibition on Saturday 6 October. The guests include all three local Mayors from Haslemere, Godalming and Waverley. The Exhibition will be opened by Councillor Tony Gordon Smith, Mayor of Waverley, a keen supporter of art events.

There will be over 600 works of art on display at prices that are affordable for those on modest budgets. Artists will be offering workshops and demonstrations to enthral visitors and these will include Roger Dellar, renowned international artist, who will hold a Portrait Masterclass Day on Saturday 13 October, with a demonstration in the morning, followed by a workshop for 10 aspiring artists.

Record breaking Revival A capped 146,000 motor sport enthusiasts and retro-fashion fans flocked to this year’s Goodwood Revival to join in the fun and celebrations at the world’s largest historic motor race meeting. The vast majority of the spectators came dressed in their finest 1940s, 1950s and 1960s fashions, with tweed jackets and pleated skirts abounding in the early autumn sunshine. On the track, a daily parade of cars associated with the distinguished motor racing career of American driver and team owner Dan Gurney was held, culminating in a colourful and emotional homage to the great man on Sunday, with Lord March paying tribute, as the marching band played. Gurney cars formed-up on the Goodwood grid, Mustangs displayed

under the supervision of leading consultants in Neurorehabilitation and a dedicated multidisciplinary team; making it a unique centre for rehabilitation. The Minister referred to the centre as a truly ‘state-of-the-art’ centre for excellence in rehabilitation and commented how wonderful it is to see people with disabilities being encouraged and empowered to live as independently as possible. Located in Bagshot Park ,the centre will cater for inpatient care for PCT patients from within NHS hospitals and private patients through private consultant referrals.

Seventh year of success This year saw the seventh Haslemere Food Festival. Launched at the Aga Shop in West Street the fun fortnight of events included the Haslemere Beer Festival, Supreme Sausage Competition, Tasting Trail, the Italian Market and the first ever Haslemere WineFest at Haslemere Museum. Over 250 people attended the wine festival organised by Haslemere resident, and wine supremo, Francis Gimblett of Taste of the Wine and Wine Navigator. 15 local wine producers from Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire came together to give members of the public a chance to sample an array of wines. Locally produced cheeses and breads were also on offer, as well as sorbet made from English sparkling wine. With the success of this year’s event and all proceeds from ticket sales and profit from wine sales being donated to The Teenage Cancer Trust, Haslemere Museum hope the WineFest will become an annual occurrence like the Food Festival.

Haslemere Beer Festival 2012 Words Sam Faulkner The second weekend of September saw the first night of the 6th annual Haslemere Beer Festival, with tickets swiftly selling out as real ale fans descended on Haslemere Hall in their droves to sample the best tipples local, and slightly further flung, breweries had to offer. In many ways, the hall is the perfect venue for a beer festival, with the large auditorium giving ample room for drinkers - although naturally the bar area tends to become relatively congested! The stage
8
Life in Haslemere
provided a welcome oasis from the crush, as well as offering a chance to nod along to the various musicians that add to the already convivial atmosphere. The festival takes the classic format of throwing in a souvenir pint glass with the ticket price, with a sort of bureau de change system selling beer tokens (at a very agreeable exchange rate), which speeds up the ordering (and drinking!) process. The tokens can also be exchanged for food, and while the smell of cooking sausages was a tempting one, in the name of hard-hitting investigative journalism we decided to check out the real star of the event - the beer. Faced with an intimidating selection of 42 beers and 11 ciders, the natural approach seemed to be to sample as wide a range of beers as was possible. With safer options readily available, the temptation should always be avoided to stick to one familiar beer, as discovering new flavours is really what this sort of evening is about. One of the scene-stealing beers on offer was Havant brewery’s ever-popular ‘Stopped Dancing’, a hoppy, summery fresh tasting treat that makes a second glass hard to resist. Moving into less familiar territory, Portsmouth’s Irving brewery supplied their dark, complex offering, ‘Captain B’s’. A sweet, spiced rum-flavoured beer, the strong notes and high ABV meant this was perhaps not a gateway beer, but one heck of a tasty pint all the same. Other unusual flavours that would make dedicated lager fans think twice included Titanic’s ‘Chocolate and Vanilla Stout’. Chocolate is a tricky taste to get right in a beer, but the brewery from Stoke have managed to create a seriously rich and tasty offering here. This was the kind of drink that makes
a dedicated real beer fan smile, and the sheer craftsmanship of all the entries is to be admired. Real beer is on the rise in this country, and the Haslemere Beer Festival is a great example of why. With the sheer range of drinks on offer, with ABVs going from as low as 3% to as high as 7.3%, and a range of flavours to make Heston Blumenthal blush, you simply don’t get this with a glass of the fizzy stuff. Roll on the seventh year - we’ll see you there! www.haslemerebeerfestival.co.uk

Marley Flowers is on the move - not far, in fact just next door! A combination of tough trading conditions over the last few years and the opportunity to remain in the High Street but cut overheads has given rise to this sideways shift. The business has been owned and run by Brian & Diana Howard for almost 40 years, with their daughter, Melissa King joining them about 20 years ago. “Whilst we may be relinquishing the most prominant site in town, we are gaining the chance to re-invent ourselves”, said Melissa, who plans to take over the town centre flower shop to let her parents take a well earned retirement. Melissa explained that “it is essential to evolve and alter your offering to reflect the changing market. We are very excited about the new challenges ahead and look forward to showing off our stunning new product ranges! We will formally launch our new brand of ʻGifts to goʼ as the doors open at the end of October on a new look Marley Flowers - Haslemereʼs one stop gift shop!”

What to do and not to do at your section header
Christmas do
Warning! Before attending any Christmas party ensure you read our Christmas party dos and don’ts carefully to avoid the traditional annual festive mishaps Before the party Nice nails
For perfect nails, Lyn Leggett at Lily- Marie Nail boutique says: • Do prepare your nails properly for the perfect paint finish • Don’t be afraid of colour - match or clash with your outfit! • Do have fun with colour - its all about Berry Hues this season • Don’t forget a base coat to protect your nails from staining • Do book your appointment early to avoid disappointment!
Happy feet Caviar manicure (3D nail art) by Ciate, Lily-Marie Nails
To avoid the typical end of night pains in your feet this year Hengelo owner Kate Payne advises: • Don’t get caught out in your heels, take a pair of Cocorose London foldable ballet pumps - a must have for every party girl!! • Do get an ice pack. If wearing heels are a must, banish the pain when you get home by using an ice pack of ice cubes wrapped in a towel, to reduce swelling and pain. Try elevating your feet by putting a pillow under them (even while you sleep) to help reduce inflammation.
Make up For flawless makeup, Lisa Huggins from the Luxury Gap recommends: Cocorose London foldable ballet pumps, £90, Hengelo 20
Life in Haslemere
• Do prep in advance: facials, waxing,
tanning etc should all be done at least 24 hours in advance in order to take effect or for any reaction to calm down, (e.g. The initial redness from waxing). • Don’t wax and tan within 24 hours of each other, again skin becomes sensitised by each treatment so it can increase the reaction if undertaken too soon. And don’t forget to sparkle, ESPA’s Body Silk Spray contains Inca Inchi oil to nourish, refining Rose Hip to soften with Pomegranate and Chia to work against environmental aggressors leaving your skin with a beautiful shine and a smell that’s divine. Makeup expert Jenna Wade, continues: • Do wear a statement red lipstick teamed with a liquid eye line ending in a 60’s style flick. The red lip will match your Santa outfit! To go that extra mile add a gold eye shadow. • Don’t go to wild with a black smokey eye AND bold lip colour, both are great but it must be one or the other! • Don’t wear lots of make up if you are wearing an ‘out there’ dress. Keep it simple with clear skin, pink blush and a lick of mascara. However, if you’re fed up of leaving the Christmas party with smudged eyes and worn off lipstick, then Jan Jordan at the Hartley Clinic recommends semi permanent make up.“You’ll leave the party looking just how you did when you arrived.Your lipstick won’t be left on your wine glass and your eye makeup won’t be down your face.” • Do: take your pick of lips, eyebrows and eyelash treatments for natural results that will leave you looking naturally flawless on your Christmas do. • Don’t: forget it takes a week for your treatment to heal before you can reapply makeup.
Issue 36 October / November 2012
At the party
Dessert • Do try topless mince pies or use filo pastry to make.
Arrive in style While it may be tempting to arrive fashionably late, Hannah at Old Thorns says:
After the party
Also, be weary of drinking too much before you arrive: It’s much better to pace yourselves so you can enjoy the delicious meal, and see the night through to the end.
If the party has been any good it is more than likely you’ll have a hangover, therefore:
• Do smile. Smiling is the most effective tool in a flirting toolbox - people like you more and think you’re more attractive if you smile at them. • Do lean in towards the other person. • Don’t stare at the ground. Take sideways glances - when you’re attracted to someone, you can’t help checking out their assets. • Don’t be too serious. Laughing can endear you to the other person.
Perfect dress When it comes to the outfit Ellie Jordan from Starfish suggests: • Do choose a dress that you feel comfortable in and flatters your figure. Then turn heads with an eye-catching print.
• Do try mirroring - people mirror each other’s body language when they’re attracted with similar gestures.
To enjoy the food at your party without the guilt, Carrie Ross at Grayshott Spa advises: Snacks & Nibbles
• Don’t be boring avoid the little black dress.
• Do go for vegetable crudités, low-fat dips, cold meat, cocktail sausages and unsalted nuts. • Don’t go overboard on the crisps, quiche, sausage rolls and salted nuts. Main Meal • Do choose smoked salmon as a healthy choice for a starter. • Do pick turkey over fattier goose or duck (but don’t have the skin) • Do choose chestnut, cranberry or apricot stuffing, instead of sausage.
Sandwich Clothing Dress, £105, Starfish
www.lifemags.co.uk
The hangover
• Don’t think the hair of the dog is going to help one bit. • Do hydrate! Most hangover symptoms are caused by dehydration as alcohol is a diuretic. It also eats up the body’s store of vitamins and minerals and reduces blood sugar levels - which might explain the throbbing headache. Water, and lots of it, is the best cure. In fact, following every alcoholic drink on a night out with a glass of water is said to help stave off a hangover. But if you’re still suffering the next day, a thin veggie-based broth (with bouillon) should help to replace your body’s lost vitamins and minerals.
Clova, 01428 653935
Festive food
While Heather Slater from Clova says: • Do add a bit of sparkle to stand out from the crowd!
• Do eat Christmas pudding with low-fat custard. Don’t have brandy butter or cream!
• Don’t arrive late. You risk missing the starter or even main course, as well as potentially missing out on that all important socialising with your colleagues.
For flirting success Dr Simon Moore says:

October is national dessert month, so to celebrate, the sweetest tooths in Haslemere have been sharing some delicious dessert recipes that even the strictest dieter won’t be able to resist… Pudding picks Did you know, according to a survey by Gaviscon Double Action, it was found that Britain’s most popular dessert is apple crumble and custard? What are your favourite desserts? Let us know on our Facebook page and Twitter @lifemags.
Mississippi Mud Pie
Base • Shortcrust pastry for a 23cm dish Filling • 300g soft brown sugar • 50g butter • 6 eggs
• 1tbs golden syrup • 150g good quality dark chocolate • 1tsp good quality vanilla extract
Topping • 350ml whipping cream
• Grated chocolate shavings
Food facts… The word dessert originates from the French derivative of desservir which means to clear the table. The Oxford English dictionary defines desserts as a dinner course – not to be confused with desert!
Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a 23cm pastry dish with the shortcrust pastry, cover with greaseproof paper and baking beans and blind bake for 10 minutes. Put chocolate, butter and syrup in a glass bowl over simmering water and melt. Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract until well combined. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly then slowly beat into the egg mixture. Pour into the slightly cooled pie crust and bake for 35-40 mins. It should be firm to touch with a very slight wobble in the centre. Check regularly every few mins after 30 minutes. While the pie is baking, whisk the cream until it forms soft peaks. Once the pie has cooled, top with the whipped cream and decorate with chocolate shavings. Yours Tastefully, www.yours-tastefully.co.uk 22

health
Fit in
the fall Your tan has faded, the evenings are getting darker and the only thing left from your summer holiday is your credit card bill. It’s easy to get down as we leave summer behind. But autumn is the perfect time to take a closer look at your general well being and create a new healthy you! Here we’ve been hearing from Haslemere’s health experts about how we can ‘fall’ into a healthy new lifestyle this season Balancing act
According to acupuncture expert, Simon Casciano BSc MBAcC, in autumn the lifegiving force of the sun begins to wane and consequently it is a time for us to gather our energies and live more resourcefully. “Trees shed leaves and squirrels gather nuts to focus on essentials and we too should ask the essential question: Is my body well enough to look after me over the long winter months?” Simon explains. “An acupuncture treatment might therefore be something worth considering.” Simon believes acupuncture balances the body and fosters improved functioning on all levels - in a way that is appropriate to the season. This is why acupuncture is typically received four times a year as ‘preventative’ medicine in the Orient. Acupuncture Health Centre, 01428 643015
Stay connected
Another method used to restore the health’s natural balance is reflexology. Samantha Hardwick from Timeout Massage says, “Reflexology is a gentle therapy which encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance. It may help to strengthen your immune system as we enter the autumn/winter months.” This alternative therapy is based on the principle that the reflex points on the feet 24
Life in Haslemere
or hands are connected to corresponding areas throughout the body. In this way, the feet or hands can be seen as a ‘map’ of the body. Pressure point techniques on the feet or hands are used to help release tensions and encourage your body’s natural healing processes to boost general health and well-being. Samantha continues, “It may help to restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium and with: back pain, headaches, fertility issues, digestive disorders, sleep disturbance, sports injuries, hormonal imbalances and stressrelated conditions.” Timeout Massage, 07974 682525
Get physical
The dark, cold mornings and evenings are more likely to turn your thoughts to duvets and log fires rather than lycra, but Rachael at Uniq Physique gym believes we shouldn’t let the new season discourage us from exercising. “Exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, whatever the season. You should still aim to do physical activity for at least 30 minutes on five days of the week. Chose an activity you enjoy doing or join a club/ gym to keep you motivated.” Rachael advises exercising regularly to maintain your energy levels and boost your body’s immune system - thus warding
of the seasonal coughs and colds. “Being active, particularly outdoors in the daylight, will also boost your mood as exposure to sunlight increases production of Vitamin D3 in the body – helping to reduce symptoms of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).” For those struggling to get back in the swing of exercise after the summer as we enter the cooler season, Personal Trainer, Robert Elford also recommends trying the following on any piece of cardio kit e.g. running machine, stepper, rower, cross trainer or bike. l Complete a thorough warm-up. l Once warm, try and sprint on your chosen piece of kit for 30sec, then give yourself one min at a nice comfortable pace. l Try to complete this five times in your first session. l Each time you go back to the gym, try and add in another couple of intervals and push yourself! l If you are able to train three to four times a week complete this for two weeks and then go back to your normal training.

King Edward’s pupils compete in World Youth Cup
Mrs Lynne Taylor-Gooby (Headmistress) and Mr James Hanson (Head of Senior Boys).
Diamond sparkling at The Royal in third place to qualify for the Plate competition. A comfortable 4-0 win over Germany’s FC Marzahn, in front of a large crowd at the Heden Centre pitches, got the team off to the perfect start in the knockout stage with Hamilton Li particularly impressive in the match. The team then beat ISA Italia 2-0 and KFC Zwarte Leeuw 3-0 to reach the quarter-finals with Jan Oberfeld playing a key role at centre back. The team successfully reached the semifinals and the three boys are currently looking forward to representing King Edward’s 1st XI this season.
At the beginning of the second year of the development of the Diamond structure at The Royal School, the number of boys has increased substantially at the bottom end of the Junior School. There are now boys in the Daycare, Nursery, Reception and Prep 1. The School welcomes the new Head of Senior Boys’ this term, Mr James Hanson, formerly of Harrow School. Mr Hanson looks forward to meeting prospective parents by appointment on Wednesday afternoons during the next two terms at our Hindhead site, where he will share his enthusiasm for life, learning and rugby! Parents wishing to visit the Senior School on behalf of either a son or daughter are warmly encouraged to do so.

Cyber Safety at Churcher’s College
Since returning to school, St Hilary’s have been treated to a succession of exciting events. Firstly the arrival of the new headmistress, Mrs Jane Whittingham, who has already brought to the school a plethora of innovative ideas and plans for the future. Followed by an extraordinary day with Adelle Tracy, one of the ‘Super Seven’ young athletes who lit the Olympic cauldron at the opening ceremony. Adelle generously sharing her exercising tips, Olympic stories and inspirational words with all the year groups. Every child shared in holding the torch that helped light the ‘Flame of Unity’
and Adelle’s ceremonial shirt. Miss Katie Hilder, Head of English and a Games Maker at Greenwich during the Olympic fortnight was part of the excitement, when wearing her official 2012 uniform, told of her incredible experiences in the press area and out in the park during the eventing, dressage and show jumping competitions. She described the incredible atmosphere when GB won their medals and the magic of the witnessing the Olympic and Paralympic athletes at the victory parade.
PCSO Jim Leggat and PCSO Max Preston from the Hampshire Constabulary visited Y5 and 6 pupils at Churcher’s College Junior School to deliver their Personal Internet and Cyber Safety (PICS) training programme. The aim of the afternoon was to ensure pupils were aware of how to use the internet and mobile technology safely. Part of the session was based upon a video in which two girls were in a chat room, pupils were horrified as the story progressed and they realised one of the girls was in a fact an adult male and was arranging to meet the young girl without her parents knowing. The talk made children realise the dangers of an online world, and what they need to do to stay safe. The PCSO’s skilfully answered the children’s questions and listened to their concerns.

Award winning results at Charterhouse
Meet the head
(Academic) adds , ‘Charterhouse is incredibly proud of the achievements of all of our summer 2012 examination candidates, but we are especially pleased to hear from CIE of the significant success of those who achieved such superlative results.’ Delighted pupils will shortly be taking up their university places, including the twenty who will be going to Oxford and Cambridge this year.
With 20 years education experience, Bedales prep school, Dunhurst welcomed new head Jane Grubb. Jane has always enjoyed teaching and has a particular interest in art. “I was Head of Art for eight years at my previous school and then joined their Senior Team as a Year Head before becoming Academic Deputy Head. For the last three years there, my focus turned to redesigning the religion, ethics and philosophy course and teaching English - the pupils really made me think!” Jane was attracted to Bedales prep school, Dunhurst and the way it enables pupils to excel academically and in other areas, using engaging and enjoyable techniques, rather than taxing and methodical. “There is a huge breadth of activities and opportunities and the emphasis is placed on the pupils to make choices and think for themselves, rather than being spoon fed.” Jane hopes to continue the success Bedales prep school, Dunhurst has already achieved and is particularly interested in working with the Arts and Sports departments as well as the school’s boarding house. “Children excel academically when lessons are engaging, challenging and motivating and leave the pupils wanting more. We have a superb staff team and I will continue to look to appoint the most innovative and inspiring teachers to ensure that our pupils get the very best educational experience. I love the idea of engendering creativity and freedom in the curriculum – this approach is part of Bedales history and ethos, which is why the school leads the education sector in this area.”

Why are boys being out-performed by girls at school? Research is consistently showing that boys are being out-performed by girls right the way through the education system from nursery to university. A recent government study found that, as a rule, girls tend to be more ‘compliant and passive recipients of new skills and knowledge’ which suits the way teaching and learning is currently delivered in most schools. 87% of primary teachers are female. Half of boys aged between five and 11 have no contact with male teachers. Research suggests that boys need positive male role models more than girls need positive female role models. The TDA, a national agency, is concerned about the increased 30
Life in Haslemere
‘feminisation’ of the curriculum. Research suggests teachers particularly favour pupils who are compliant learners which, as a rule, suits girls. Steve Maynard states: “Girls are more likely to do what they are told; they are keen to please the teacher.” The DCSF report adds: “The qualities and skills that are most valued by schools, the ability to communicate orally and represent ideas on paper, are often the very aspects of learning that boys find most difficult.” The demands of the National Curriculum and SATs tests have also squeezed PE and creative subjects, ones typically more motivational for boys. Boys can become conscious of this educational divide in a
mixed setting, which often results in them becoming de-motivated. Haslemere Preparatory School’s management team has been short-listed in the National Independent Schools Awards 2012. Of the four schools selected, HPS is the only prep school to be nominated for the ‘Outstanding Senior Leadership Team Award’ category, alongside three large, wellknown senior schools: Caterham School, Cheltenham College and Surbiton High School.

Winter
draws on As the temperatures begin to drop and our gardens begin to look more brown and bare, we discover from the experts at Graduate Landscapes how a little lighting can make our gardens warm and inviting All that hard work in the summer to create the wonderful garden, and now the deckchairs are closed, umbrellas put away, and barely a backwards glance as you dash up to the house in the early winter gloom. It doesn’t have to be this way. By using just a few select lights your garden should look as good at night as it does in the day. Lighting at night brings the garden to your house, it provides wonderful forms and features, creates a lasting impression on your visitors, and allows you to enjoy your garden 365 days a year around the clock. Here at Graduate we offer our clients lighting as an integral part of the whole design. It’s very easy. You will firstly need a power supply and we provide an electrician to put in all-weather sockets. We use light sparingly, picking out a specimen tree,
or perhaps a piece of Artwork. Using low voltage LED lighting attached to trees can turn a fairly boring space into a children’s exciting dream world wrapped into a Christmas theme with fairies thrown in. When drawing up a garden design, we integrate the lighting from the start rather later as an afterthought. An herbaceous border can have a new lease of life at night in the winter, when the crisp frosty cold creates dramatic shapes and forms around those long faded stems and blooms. An area of patio or decking can have subtle edging lighting to remind you exactly what’s out there, and keep those summer memories fresh. Lighting can illuminate a forgotten pathway, make the garden seem bigger, create shapes and shadows you never thought possible. Mood boards are the order of the day, and our schemes often focus on evening views with lighting. Install a lighting scheme in the autumn and enjoy the warmth of your home through the colder months without having to climb trees in December and while the electrician can still feel his hands!

HASLEMERE CHAMBER The four-month promotion by local retailers helped to boost business during the lengthy closure of Lower Street for essential gas main replacement. Many of the town centre businesses contributed towards the regular draws during the promotion, giving shoppers the incentive to win weekly prizes worth £25-£75, monthend prizes worth £200-£250, and the grand prize of a New York holiday. The Humberstone’s prize was sponsored by Southern Gas Networks (flights) and Haslemere Travel (two nights at a luxury boutique hotel in midtown Manhattan). The travel agency will also handle the bookings when the departure date is decided. With the completion of the gas main replacement, Haslemere businesses are looking forward to a full return to normal trading. Julianne Evans, president of the Haslemere and District Chamber of Trade and Commerce, says: “Most retailers in the High Street area suffered major turnover losses during the project. Other factors such as the Olympics, the Diamond Jubilee and the bad weather may also have impacted Haslemere sales figures, but they do not fully explain the sheer decline in footfall in the High Street that we noticed as soon as the barriers went up at the end of April. “The greatest bugbear for business owners was the significant drop in through traffic and the resulting decline in out-of-town shoppers put off by the ‘closure’ warnings on all major routes –
and the fear of negotiating diversions to reach the town’s central car parks. “The town is now fully ‘open’ and we are already seeing encouraging signs with customers coming back to Haslemere in greater numbers.” Despite the pressure on Haslemere’s tills, Mrs Evans says the road closure has brought a new degree of cohesion and co-operation among local retailers – especially through the Spend and Win promotion. Echoing this view, Haslemere Travel Managing Director, Gemma Antrobus, says: “The promotion was a wonderful example of retailers working collectively for a common cause – and a significant help in reassuring shoppers that Haslemere was open for business during the roadworks.” And Marley Flowers’ Melissa King, one of the organisers of the promotion, says: “We began with the idea of securing just 16 prizes – one for each week of the road closure – but the response from retailers was tremendous so we were able to make the competition much more attractive to shoppers.” Mrs Evans says: “I would like to see local shops and the town as a whole doing much more to promote Haslemere as a retail and gastronomic destination. We need to increase support from local residents and those in surrounding towns and villages – perhaps even further afield. We have much to offer, and we need to make this more widely known. This will be a priority for our Chamber.”

Meet the carers
Be honest with them, explaining fully why it is the right decision for their future welfare even if it doesn’t appear that way at first, involve someone from the care home, it may help, point out that professional carers are trained to meet their needs and that day to day contact with all their network of friends and family is actively encouraged by the care home that has been selected. Tony Hanwell, Team Leader at Huntington House Nursing Home, Hindhead, Surrey, GU26 6BG, 01428 604600
I was inspired to become a carer by... Anju Tuldhar. Brownscombe House Nursing Home CHD Living
Good carers are the backbone of any happy care home. Here we meet some of Haslemere’s best carers and find out why they chose this career
I was inspired to become a carer by... The love, caring and nurturing of the elderly. I wanted to help the community to prevent illness and maintain their health. I enjoyed nursing my elderly grandparents and this inspired me to be a carer.
The best thing about being a carer is… Being able to communicate with the residents and empathise and provide holistic care that is person centred.
The best advice I can give anyone who is dealing with a loved one about to be admitted into a care home is... A care home is a homely, conducive environment that provides and caters for the unique needs of the elderly. Anju Tuldhar. Brownscombe House Nursing Home CHD Living (Care Homes of Distinction), Hindhead Road, Haslemere, Surrey, GU27 3PL , 01428 643 528
I became a carer because... I was encouraged to join the care industry by my wife, who herself has been in the care sector for over 40 years. She saw in me the potential to become a very good carer. I had spent many years working in the leisure and hotel trades which it transpires had instilled in me the qualities necessary to be a successful carer (an understanding of peoples’ needs both in good times and bad).
A friend of mine who used to work as a carer and shared her experiences about this job with me. I always looked for interesting, extraordinary and satisfying work and her stories corresponded with my expectations. She knows me well and encouraged me to try, she was a great support and gave me all the details and tips needed at the beginning. She told me how demanding this work is sometimes but she also explained that really big satisfaction comes with big responsibilities. She convinced me to take the challenge and I never regretted this move.
The best thing about being a carer is... Of course the opportunity to care .Why it’s important to me? Because I’m an empathic person and I always want to help in all circumstances. Essential also is the sense of doing something good (and being a carer gives you this). Lastly, the best thing in being a carer for me is a positive response from all the people whom I’ve been taking care of .
I would advise people… Not to worry too much and have trust in the people working there, they will give this person the best possible level of care. Kaya Kaminska Moorlands Lodge, Portsmouth Road, Hindhead, Surrey GU26 6TJ, 01428 605396 Kaya Kaminska, Moorlands Lodge
The best thing about being a carer is... Having the opportunity to improve the lives of those who, for whatever reasons, are unable to fully tend to their own needs.

Giselle Snell Grayshott Pottery, photo by Janet McWilliam
An artistic view Giselle Snell – Grayshott Pottery What inspired you to get into pottery? I was inspired to become a decorator in the glazing department here at Grayshott Pottery because I have always been interested in art and I love all things pottery. It doesn’t matter what it is – it is organic and emotional for me. My family encouraged me into pottery. My two nieces work here in the glazing department and several members of my husband’s family are potters so I have really been surrounded with it. It is a real privilege for me to work here.
What has been your biggest pottery challenge? My biggest challenge so far was a hand thrown lamp base over 4 foot tall in Eclore which took me a day to decorate. Because of its size I had to do it in sections. First I did the underglaze, I then applied the wax design, using a slip trailer and then I had to build up around 10 or 12 other glazes.
How does nature inspire you? I have always been fascinated by the forms, colour combinations and patterns observable in both microscopic world and the vast of universe. I find Nature the greatest creator since it never really repeats itself in a sense. Its graphic qualities make perfect expressive means for my creative practice regardless from the medium I choose.
What is the journey of the clay? These are our free midweek tours that our visitors to Grayshott Pottery can book with us. It is a chance to experience a great British pottery in action– but please do book. There is more information on our website www.grayshottpottery.com or you can call us on 01428 604404. So come and visit us soon!
How do you work with nature? Over a couple of decades of research I managed to reconstruct some geological processes that take place in the Earth crust formation, particularly semiprecious stones like amethyst, malachite, agate and jasper. The nature forces best described as “controlled chaos” usually take millions of years to form these wonderful minerals. Having improved the techniques I previously invented I now manage to complete the same processes in porcelain or stoneware within three to twenty four months in my studio.

Taking us from prehistoric jars to tiles on the space shuttles, both pottery and ceramics have played an essential role in human culture for thousands of years. But as we enter a new generation of creativity, we talk to two innovative artists about their chosen art forms and what makes their creations unique
What makes your work unique? I think I put a bit of me into my work. I pick up my colour combinations from nature and life experiences. I have created individual pieces for the Pottery but I have designed two main ranges– Haven and Eclore. Haven is a limited edition range. It’s a seaside scene inspired by a stay in Lyme Regis- looking back from the Cobb,(the harbour wall), to the hotel where I was staying. As I work on the design I think about the people in the little cottages I am painting. I was brought up by the sea so this takes me back. My second range is Eclore – which means ‘to bloom’ so it is all about exuberance and based on the colours and shapes of summer flowers - the lushness really.
What inspired you to get involved with Ceramics? I always wanted to do painting in the first place, particularly human body and portrait. Craft wise I was most attracted to glass but the only art college I could go to had Ceramics, Wood Carving and Metal Smith departments only. Since ceramics felt closest to glass I chose to apply there. Besides, ceramics offered longest hours on painting. It only took me to try clay on the wheel once to realise I made the best possible choice.
What do you find most challenging? The glazes can be challenging because they are reactive glazes. So when you are designing you have to think about the shape of the pot and what glazes go where. The weather, the temperature of the kiln and even the thickness of the glaze dictate the outcome. So it is exciting too!
What makes your work unique? I consider it is passion for stylistic diversity and consistency within a particularly chosen style. The collection of artworks I named Geological Ceramics is my signature series that I built using very specific techniques and expressive means I developed myself being continuously inspired by the nature.

Jaroslav Hrustalenko – Ceramic Art
Where else do you find inspiration? I have taken in (and on) the vast cultural heritage of Ukraine, Hungary, Slovenia, the Balkans, Russia, Kenya and Taiwan. These are the places I have actually lived, worked and integrated - each time through the local language and culture rather than just visiting as a tourist. I finally found a quiet haven in the South East of England where I graduated at the Masters level of Art in Contemporary Crafts - Ceramics. What has been your proudest achievement? There is something magic and almost hypnotizing about the light of fire in our home. The fire feeds us, gives warmth and light. Shaped into an artwork a source of light becomes an important part of our private space, turning the interior into a comfort zone, helps concentration and meditation. I believe my Table Lamps and Wall Lights represent my idea of an artwork self-lit, a contemporary and traditional interior design concept, a statement and solution at the same time.

Grayshott on film A new video has been filmed to promote the Grayshott area and its local businesses. The video created by Video Dynamics includes a range of well known Grayshott names such as the Devils Punchbowl
Hotel, Applegarth Farm, Fox and Pelican, Grayshott Social Club, Huntington House, Bay Leaf restaurant, Golden Valley Poultry, St. Edmunds School, Keats Meehan Estate Agents, Adrian Blyth Motors, Rardley Motors and Grayshott Pottery. James Martin, Managing Director of Video Dynamics and Conference Dynamics, explains, “The idea behind the video was to let Grayshott speak for itself, and not create the usual dull ‘travelogue’ style programme.” Watch the video now at www.grayshott.com/visit Video Dynamics and Conference Dynamics, 01252 711772
New Funds for Grayshott’s Youth A creative and innovative project for Grayshott teenagers moved a step closer to realisation, with the first £500 donation towards the employment of a youth worker for the village. Three groups in the village have got together to raise the money for a youth worker to start in 2013. St. Luke’s Church, the Parish Council and St. Edmund’s School have been working together for a year to shape the plans and now fundraising is in full swing. St. Edmund’s will employ the youth worker
for as many hours a week that the Church and Village cannot fund. This guarantees the project’s financial security but also gives the whole village the chance to get behind the project to raise as much as possible and so maximise the hours available for youth work. Moray Thomas, Vicar of St. Luke’s, says: “It is another wonderful tribute to the community spirit of the village that this project has begun. There is an exciting future for the teenagers of Grayshott.” www.stlukes-grayshott.org
This November the Grayshott Stagers will bare all with their performance of Tim Firth’s Calendar Girls. Based on a true story, the play sees a group of extraordinary women from a very ordinary Yorkshire Women’s Institute, spark a global phenomenon when they pose for a charity calendar with a difference. Roles in the Grayshott production were highly sought after as Tony Legat from Grayshott Stagers explains, “There were three to four ladies vying for each part. The eventual large and very talented cast, hails from as far afield as Alton, Haslemere, Farnham, Bordon, Beacon Hill, Liphook and, of course Grayshott.” The Grayshott Stagers will also face the additional challenge of competing with at least three other local societies who are also putting on the play at the same time. This is because normally, when a society gets the rights to perform a show, it is then restricted so that others within a certain radius cannot also perform it. However, with Calendar Girls, the publishers Samuel French Ltd. have lifted these restrictions for a period of eighteen months in a bid to achieve a Guinness Book of Records for the largest number of performances of a play within that time and to provide funds for Leukaemia Research. A proportion of all royalties will be donated to them. Performances at Grayshott Village Hall are on 22 to 24 November at 7.30pm. Tickets at £10 are available now and www.grayshottstagers.co.uk and will be on sale at Grayshott Books, The Square, Grayshott,01428 604798 from 29 October.

No successful bid for EHDC’s natural burial ground East Hampshire District Council will continue its search for an operator to run a natural burial ground after a tender process produced no submissions that met the necessary criteria. Experienced operators were invited to tender for the opportunity to run a proposed natural burial ground between the wards of Grayshott and Headley. Cllr Richard Millard, EHDC Portfolio Holder for Assets and Contracts, said: “Unfortunately we did not receive a bid that was compliant 40
Life in Haslemere
with the council’s stringent requirements and we can’t compromise on this important project for the local area. “This is not the end of the story; it is just a chapter in the book. The council is still committed to delivering a natural burial ground on this site.” The ground, called Heatherley Wood, was previously used for commercial purposes but has been turned back into green heathland thanks to extensive landscaping and planting
work. It will cater for those who have chosen a more ecological and environmentally-friendly burial. Natural burials, also called woodland or green burials, use sustainable burial practices, such as coffins made of bio-degradable materials, and planting memorial trees instead of head stones. They are not affiliated to any religion and all are welcome to request a burial and have a service of interment. Issue 36 October / November 2012
