School’s Out… Now What?

T

he school term is almost out for another academic year, but if you don’t know how to fill that long summery six week holiday; fear not – Horley’s Young People’s Centre has it covered!

The Centre, located at the renovated Old Fire Station on Albert Road, provides a place to go for fun, advice and even valuable work experience for young people aged 10-19 years old. During the school holidays, a variety of activities will be taking place – all organised by local youths: “Young people have been involved in planning the three weeks of activities in the summer holiday, and they have LOTS of ideas such as: camping, cooking, go karting, fishing, jamming sessions, and team games,” Youth Worker Stephanie Gibson says. “For information on the plans for the summer holiday, pop into the centre on Albert Road, Horley to see us or check out our notice board!”

In recent months, HYPC have been part of many community events – including organising elements of the St George’s day event, and were able to raise an impressive £500 for their centre, which (in their words) is an important lifeline to them: “I joined HYPC because my friends told me about it,” fifteen year-old member, Tara tells us. “I wanted to meet new people and gain new friends. I have gained more experience planning events and also have more confidence!”

Whilst fourteen year-old Louis adds; “If I didn’t come here I would probably be getting into trouble…”

During the school holidays, ban boredom and head on down to HYPC for a summer filled with fun and friendship – many activities are free too!

Bowling Over the Opposition…

B

ack by popular demand, Skittles Week – organised by the Horley Lions, will be taking place again this month at Horley Cricket Club between 6th – 10th July, raising funds in the process for two local charities.

We caught up with Lion, Peter Moxley to learn more…

“The tournament takes place over five days starting on July 6th,” Peter tells us. “The first four days are qualifying rounds with finals night taking place Friday 10th July. Each night starts 6.45pm and if you get through the qualifying rounds, the rounds should be over by 10.00pm. Finals night is slightly longer and generally ends about 10.30pm.”

Entry to the feel-good charity fundraising event costs just £36 per team (of eight) and it’s expected that sixty-four teams will take part in total, with sixteen groups battling it out each evening. As Peter explains, the money raised will be benefitting two good causes, locally:

“Our aim is to make £5,000 over the week for two charities; Heatherley Cheshire Home in Copthorne and a lesser-known charity, Providing Support for Children with Down Syndrome (PSDS) which is based in Outwood.”

“The tournament is a great community event,” Peter continues. “It’s just a fun week where everyone joins in and in so doing makes some money for charity!”

“I never fail to marvel at the fun people have when taking part in this community event as they compete to win the coveted “plastic” trophy. With £5,000 raised for charity everyone is a winner. So if you and your friends think you have what it takes reach for that application form!”

It’s not too late to take part! Entry forms are available by visiting: www.horleylions.org.uk or emailing Peter directly on: pmoxley@sky.com.

Community Hero:

Katie Foss R

aising £1000 for charity is no mean feat for many of us.

There’s the sponsorship money to raise, training to undertake and of course, taking part in the event itself, so we were amazed to find out that one seven year old girl from Horley has done just that!

Katie Foss, who is a pupil at Meath Green School, took part in this year’s Swimathon for Marie Curie and raised £1000 for the cancer charity by swimming an astonishing sixty lengths in just fifty minutes!

“Katie wanted to do the swim for two reasons; one, to see if she could do the distance and how fast she could do it in and the other was to raise money to help others,” Katie’s dad, Ray Foss explains. “Both me and her mum (Hilary) are very proud of her!”

Taking part in her first swimming gala aged just four (and even then competing against six and seven year-olds!), Katie is clearly a talented and enthusiastic swimmer. However, as her dad explains she was still nervous about taking on her first fundraising challenge: “Katie was nervous but excited when she came to do the challenge as she had never swam that kind of distance before.

/RHUncovered

She said on her last length that she wanted to finish with the butterfly, but she surprised us all by doing the last two lengths with butterfly!”

“Katie managed to raise this amount as she comes from a large family, so she made sure she asked every one of us and our friends to sponsor her, she also has put her own pocket money in to help others.”

The money raised will be going directly to Marie Curie Cancer Care and enable the charity to provide hours of free nursing for terminally ill patients.

“It was so wonderful to hear about Katie’s truly amazing effort by taking part in the Swimathon Challenge this year, swimming 60 lengths in only fifty minutes and also her fantastic fundraising achievement of raising £1000 for our Marie Curie nursing service,” Ros Hooper, Marie Curie Fundraising Manager for Surrey, says.

Continued on page 10

continued from page 8 “This huge amount of money raised

by Katie will fund many hours of our free nursing service ensuring that terminally ill patients and their families are able to fulfil one of their last wishes ensuring they stay peacefully, in their own homes, surrounded by the people and things that mean the most to them.”

Katie’s class teacher, Miss Ponton, told us: “I think it’s an amazing achievement for a girl of Katie’s age.

She is very modest about it and has set a great example to others.”

A BIG well done to Katie!

We can’t wait to see what this superstar swimmer does next…

Back with a Big Band!

W

hether you’re a lover of jazz, blues or pop; clear space in your diary for Charlwood’s annual Music Festival!

Taking place in village venues, including the village hall and St Nicholas Church over three days – Friday 24th to Sunday 26th July, the festival aims to bring the local community together through their love of local live music, with performances by Allan Bailey’s Band, GBH (Gregory, Barclay, Hook) and Milestone Big Band.

The latter was one of last year’s most popular events, attended by over 100 people.

So what does committee member Peter Barclay (better known locally as PB) think makes the Charlwood Music Festival so successful?

“It’s a community event involving local people and local talent – always of an incredible standard with fundraising for local projects,” PB says. “Last year over 400 people attended the Saturday Festival concert and over 100 enjoyed Milestone Big Band’s performance.”

“Friday night will kick off with a rock/pop dance night in the village hall, followed by our Saturday daytime concert in the church grounds and Milestone Big Band performing in the church itself, whilst Sunday includes a morning blues church service followed by pancakes and crispy bacon brunch!” PB adds, when questioned about this year’s highlights.

“We know from feedback it gets better every year. This is about our community come down and support us!”

Get Out… (into the Great Outdoors) With the six week’s holidays just around the corner, it’s time to get planning activities to keep those all-too-familiar cries of “I’m bored!” at bay, and what better way is there to unleash some steam than by getting outside and exploring the countryside?

Put down those games consoles, step away from the TV, instead grab a picnic (maybe a brolly – the British summer can be fickle!) and get outside, in the great outdoors!

We’d love to see how you spend the summer holidays!

Don’t forget to post a picture to our Facebook page or tweet us! www.facebook.com/RHUncovered @RHUncovered

Visit a Nature Reserve Taking the kids down to a local Nature Reserve gives the perfect opportunity to get hands-on with wildlife. Many LNR’s have FREE summer open days – including Weir Wood Reservoir, which on Sunday 12th July, from 9:30am will showcase just some of the conservation work the voluntary ‘friends’ group carries out. Telescopes will be set up to observe nesting birds, a moth display showing last night’s captures will be available to view and damsel and dragonflies can be seen.

There will also be the chance to experience pond dipping too!

Seaside Exploring The sunny, pebbly beaches of Brighton, Worthing and Eastbourne are just a short journey away in the car and on the train and by bus, and are enjoyable days out for the whole family.

Bypass the shops and head straight to the shores and rock pools, with your trusty net or bucket to see what you can find.

All that sea air can be rather tiring too, so it might make for a quiet journey home…

Grow Your Own If the great British weather (or time!) permits outdoor fun, you can still enjoy spending time together in your own garden!

From strawberries to pansies, sweet peas to sunflowers, there’s so much that you can grow during the summer months. Watering and watching seeds grow can also give children a sense of responsibility and achievement too and will give them something to write about in their holiday diary!

Create Your Own Countryside Adventure

Don’t want to travel too far?

With miles upon miles of glorious countryside on our doorsteps, you won’t have to venture far to come across an unspoilt, peaceful, picnic spot. Let the kids run free and create your very own afternoon adventure, by finding wildlife, flowers and birds – many childfriendly outdoor activity sheets can be downloaded from the internet for free!

The Post-Paper Trail

I

f last month you threw your paper driving licence in the bin, you may have missed the point a bit. Just to re-cap, as of June 8th if you hold a photocard driving licence, complete with paper counterpart, the paper bit was declared by the DVLA as being no longer required. The key word, in case you parked up wide of the point, being “counterpart”.

So, assuming that you have binned your counterpart, but kept hold of your photocard or paper driving licence, and realise that you will shortly be embarking on a two-week holiday to the sun, you might need to hire some kind of clapped-out transport to get you around. But now you find yourself without the bit of paper that you often have to hand over when hiring a Vauxhall Corsa, probably one with vague steering and a dusty dashboard. They need to know if you’ve got any speeding points on your licence, or similar.

Fear not, the DVLA have kind of got this covered.

In their attempts to save many pounds, and reduce the amount of red tape, they have come up with a system to get you out of trouble.

Assuming that you plan ahead.

From now on, if you know you are going on holiday and will be hiring a car, you may need to access a special temporary code to provide evidence of any convictions or endorsements that you may have.

Now, it’s not all hire car companies that will need this information, but for the sake of logging on to a website and getting this code in advance of your trip, you might as well play it safe.

WiFi hotspot. Then getting angry because you can’t log on to their free WiFi. Given that preparation prevents poor performance, you can go online and download a PDF of your driving records and print it out, if you so wish. You can also take with you a telephone number where you can give them a call 0300 083 0013 (between the hours of 8am and 7pm on a weekday, 8am and 2pm on a Saturday). But, to save the inevitable stress, you really should equip yourself with that code before you leave the country. Then you can enjoy the pleasures of your clapped out Corsa without having to worry.

In all of this, I expect you are thinking, well why couldn’t we just keep the paper counterpart!?

Well, they call it progress. Plus it will save them having to repeat the process of replacing 445,000 lost paper counterparts, as they had to last year.

Morale of the story is, if you are going away; make sure you get that code before you leave.

Most airlines let you check in online these days, so make it part of your check-in procedure.

The code can be found at www.viewdrivingrecord.service.gov.uk, you’ll need your driving licence number and your National Insurance number.

The caveat is that the code is only valid for three days, so if you aren’t organised before your trip, you may find yourself searching out the airport’s

Hear no evil, see no evil Eyes and ears -

The importance of looking after them

T

hey say that ‘the eyes are windows to the soul’ and they say about our ears ‘the quieter you become the more you hear’.

Do we ever consider just how important these two amazing senses are?

Have you ever wondered how you would cope without your sight or your hearing? A few years ago I found that I had lost about 30% of my hearing in both ears. I only got it checked out because people asked me if I was ignoring them. Turned out my selective deafness was real, although I do still choose to selectively ignore others.

We are lucky enough in this country to have access to state-of-the-art technology that can help us to enhance our sight and hearing. We can have surgery on our eyes to correct vision problems and on our ears to amplify and correct hearing loss.

Have you ever looked into someone’s eyes and seen sadness, happiness?

We’ve all made that comment in the past that a person looks sad, lost, or happy. As most therapists do, when I chat to people not only I do I listen to their story but I am watching their body language with my eyes and the tone of the conversation with my ears.

I was once asked whether in my role as a hypnotherapist, could a person with hearing impairment be hypnotised?

The short answer is yes.

You don’t have to have your eyes closed to experience hypnotism.

How can we keep these amazing portals to the world around us in tiptop condition?

We want them to last a lifetime.

• Have regular eye checks with qualified opticians.

• Look after your ears and as the saying goes don’t put anything smaller than your elbow in.

• On bright sunny days, to prevent eyestrain, wear sunglasses.

• Earplugs at loud concerts or events.

• Use one of the many complimentary therapies available to reduce not only internal stress but also environmental stresses.

They are powerful tools.

As Rumi was quoted as saying “Listen with ears of tolerance. See through the eyes of compassion. Speak with the language of love”

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a natural state of heightened awareness that occurs within all of us. It allows us to open our minds to beneficial suggestions and allows the client to use their imagination to make positive changes.

A brief way to describe a feeling similar to hypnosis is that moment you’ve been watching TV and not heard a word that’s been said, even though you’ve been staring straight at the screen.

Alternatively it’s the car journey where you wonder how you got to a certain place.

Your mind is on auto-pilot and must have been in control, otherwise there would probably have been an accident.

What can hypnotherapy help with?

• Agoraphobia • Anxiety • Blushing • Confidence Building • Depression • Fears and Phobias • Gambling • Guilt • Habits and Compulsions • IBS • Insecurity • Insomnia • Memory Recall • Nail biting • Nervousness • Pain Control • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder • Panic Attacks • Public Speaking • Smoking • Stress Management • Timidity • Trauma • Weight Problems • Worry Becky Wells, www.beckywells.com Personal Development Hypnotherapist www.payitforwarduk.net

Family Gardens Warm sun and blue skies are not the only ingredients for a perfect summer’s day spent outdoors. Whether for dining, playing or simply relaxing, we look at ways in which to make your garden a fun and functional place for all the family.

F

rom the smallest to the largest outdoor area, it’s possible to create a beautiful, useable space that children and adults alike will enjoy. But it does require a little forethought. First, consider how you can really make the most of your garden. Perhaps you could paint an unattractive fence, trim back some overhanging branches or extend an area of paving? Can you create a tucked-away area for making dens, or would you like an adults-only seating area away from noisy games? Should that greenhouse really be next to the lawn where the kids play football? And can you install lighting?

Exterior lighting will transform your garden, highlighting interesting features, guiding you safely in the dark and allowing you to enjoy it after the sun has set.

Next, it’s time to consider furniture. For relaxation, it could be anything from a hammock to a sun lounger, an outdoor mattress to a steamer chair. For eating, outdoor dining tables and chairs vary hugely in price, but solid, more durable types are usually an investment worth making. Styles range from metal to funky coloured plastic to classic wood (an FSCcertification means it’s environmentally friendly). Bear in mind, however, that you don’t always have to buy new – you could scour car boot sales and second-hand shops for cheap and cheerful pieces that, as long as they’re stable and at the right height for eating, can be given a couple

34

/RHUncovered

of coats of exterior-quality paint for a charmingly casual look. Remember that, ideally, garden furniture should be stored away when not in use, so unless you have an enormous shed it’s best to opt for pieces that are slimline or can be folded up easily.

Textiles can transform an outdoor dining area, and to cover the table you could choose anything from a practical oilcloth to a pretty embroidered tablecloth. An informal collection of crockery and glass, in varied but co-ordinating colours, looks fantastic, too. For young children, plastic, metal or even paper plates, bowls and tumblers are available in a range of gorgeous colours and patterns. The finishing touches are colourful bunting, fairy lights or strings of lanterns, tea lights or decorative candles and jugs filled with a profusion of flowers.

01293 824088

Despite the vagaries of the English weather, one of your main considerations must be to provide some shaded areas, especially for eating and playing areas.

Permanent shading might take the form of a gazebo, arbour or similar, or simply a fabric awning fixed to hooks in walls or trees. Alternatively, a parasol or garden umbrella is an inexpensive option, either free-standing or over a table; look out for versions that tilt, offering greater versatility.

Finally, it’s playtime. From paddling pools to trampolines, croquet sets to giant games of snakes and ladders, there are all sorts of toys that will keep the kids amused. Simple things such as a ball, a swing (hung from a strong branch) or a skipping rope will also provide hours of fun.

By now your garden planning should have paid off and, with everyone happily fed and the children entertained, it’s time to make a cup of tea, pop on a sunhat and head out for that well-earned snooze in a deckchair.

Herbs Home Grown

T

here’s a really reliable, easy, low-cost and low-effort way to add some zing to your meals; home-grown herbs. Many herbs are simple to raise from seed and if you start sowing now you should be able to have a plentiful supply of fresh, tasty herbs to add to salads, sandwiches, stews and stir-fries for months to come.

All you need to is a sunny window sill or balcony, or a well-drained, sunny spot in your garden.

First, find some good quality multi-purpose compost,your chosen herb seeds and some pots. Good-quality compost is well worth the little bit extra you need to pay. The style of pot is up to you – you may want to choose a classic Mediterranean one, or perhaps a good-looking plastic planter for longevity and light-weight characteristics. Remember that plenty of drainage is essential, and that the smaller herbs do not need a deep root run, so there’s no need for a very tall planter or pot. It’s best to grow each type of herb in its own individual pot, so buy a selection of pots with a minimum diameter of 8cm.

Once you have your pot to hand, put a broken flower pot or other drainage material in the base and then fill with good quality compost to within 1cm of the rim of the pot and firm it down, not too aggressively, but enough to ensure that there’s no subsidence later on. With large seeds such as coriander, position the seeds evenly on the compost surface. Sprinkle smaller seed thinly.

42

/RHUncovered

The seeds need to be covered with compost so use your finger or a dibber to gently press the seed in to the very surface of the compost and then drizzle more compost on top to the depth stated on the packet of seed. Water the compost thoroughly either from above using a watering can with rose attached, or by standing the pot in a saucer of water for a few minutes until the compost surface is just moist.

The seeds generally germinate quite quickly and often within just a week or two you’ll have lots of tiny herbs. Once the herbs are up and growing strongly you can start to harvest them. Use sharp scissors or a sharp knife to cut off what you need; this way you’ll minimise damage to the growing plants and so help to keep them cropping for longer. As long as you keep the pots adequately watered, ideally by watering from the base, they should last for several weeks or months but make sure that the compost is not too wet or else your herb pots won’t last long. If you find that you’re not eating them fast enough, store some for later use.

Ice cubes give you a really great fresh-herb taste off-season. Just half fill ice-cube tray sections with water. Add chopped fresh herbs to each section and top up with water. Label the tray as they can be difficult to identify. You can then simply pop them whole into stews and casseroles as and when you need them.

Top herbs that grow well from seed: There are lots of herbs which do very well in pots when sown from seed. Some of my favourites include Italian or Genovese basil, lemon basil, chervil, Coriander ‘Cilantro’ for leaves, flat-leaved parsley, Ainse, Thai basil, chervil, chives, fennel, garlic chives.
