Behind the Scenes at

Uckﬁeld Festival F

or one week in July, Uckfield plays host to a whole variety of family friendly events, bringing together the whole community – including most of the town’s primary schools and up to sixty local groups and organisations. But, just how do festival plans come together? With a month to go before this year’s week long community extravaganza, we caught up with volunteer Deputy Chairman (and retired teacher) David Sudberry to uncover all…

Why did you decide to volunteer your skills and why do you continue to do so? I have always enjoyed arts and music festivals. Edinburgh, Glastonbury, Brighton, Glyndebourne - I have been to them all! When it started I thought it was fantastic that Uckfield was having its own festival and I wanted to get involved to make sure it was a success. I hope that we have succeeded, but we always want to make sure that each year’s festival is even better than the previous one.

Hi David! Can you tell me about what you’ll be needing to do this month to ensure that the festival runs smoothly?

How many other volunteers are part of the hardworking festival team?

We tend to all “muck in” I have been involved in preparing bids to get funding for events such as the children’s carnival procession and writing publicity articles for local media outlets.

There are about 15 of us; booking and organising events, running the finances, sorting out the stalls on The Big Day- and making sure that everyone in Uckfield knows that there is a festival going on! Are volunteers are needed on the day? Any help is always welcome – at any time! You will have a great time and have a terrific sense of achievement when the Festival takes over the town in July.

The 100th year anniversary of the

Women’s Institute I

n 1915 the first Women’s Institute was formed to revitalise rural communities, but also to encourage women to become more involved in producing food during the First World War. Although their aims have changed, today, there are more than 6,500 Women’s Institute branches across Britain, hosting around 212,000 members.

“We invite speakers to talk to us on a wide ranging number of topics. A few months ago we were due to have court artist Julia Quenzler, but she had to stay in Birmingham at court so one of our very own members at the last minute gave us a fascinating talk ‘How to find a man’ - it must work as she is now married to a man she met through the ‘ads!’,” Felicity laughs.

The great British institution is reinventing itself. Their aims have broadened. They are the largest voluntary women’s organisation in the UK and local groups still play a very unique role in providing women with opportunities, a chance to build skills, take part in activities, and also to campaign on issues that really matter to them and their communities.

So how do the longstanding group plan on celebrating the centenary?

Here at TN Uncovered we were keen to see how, 100 years on, the WI operates in our communities today… “The WI celebrates all that is wonderful about being a woman!” Felicity Warren-Smith from Mayfield Evening WI, which started in 1962 tells us. “An organisation that was born from the adversity of war has grown to become a second family for several generations and has empowered women to take their rightful place in our society.”

“We hosted a fundraising vintage tea party for the village last month, which started proceedings. Then, just for members, we are holding a summer barbecue - posh frocks a must! The actual centenary is on 16th September, so no doubt we will raise a glass (or a cup) at our September meeting too!” We wish the Mayfield Evening WI and other local WI members a happy few months of celebrations!

The group who meet on the second Tuesday of the month in Mayfield Village Hall at 7:30pm, currently have over fifty members who enjoy varied meetings with demonstrations, speakers, quizzes, refreshments and competitions.

Putting the FUN Into Fundraising! talls, refreshments and feel-good community sprit will return to Luxford Field this month, courtesy of the Uckfield Lions.

First held forty-six years ago (then called a Donkey Derby), the Lions Fun Day, held on Sunday 7th June, hopes to bring together local residents and organisations for a day of FUN fundraising! “The idea is to promote Lions and to raise funds for our charitable purposes, to enable other town organisations to participate and raise their profiles and to most importantly, have an enjoyable family fun day!” Lion Bob Eaves tells us. This year joining the food, games and dance displays, will be a new anticipated addition, in the form of the Superhero Scarecrow competition – something we’re sure many local school children and shop owners alike are looking forward to:

As always, with Lions organised events, proceeds from the day will be spent locally on good causes such as the Sussex, Surrey and Kent Air Ambulance, funding for the All Weather Football Pitch, installation of public use defibrillators in the town and surrounding villages, as well as taking groups of senior citizens out for the day and also supporting youth organisations, along with so much more. “Why not put some FUN into FUNDRAISING and support Uckfield Lions family fun day? Or better still - join us and enjoy assisting those less able than ourselves!” The Lions Day Fete will be held on Luxford Field on Sunday 7th June from 2pm. Find out more by visiting: www.uckfield-lions.org.uk.

“School and youth groups, individual homes and shops are being asked to build a Super Hero Scarecrow and display it for the week before the Fun Day, where they will be judged with separate classes for the different types of entrant,” Bob continues. “All the scarecrows will be built to given parameters of height and must be on show for the preceding week. The Chamber of Commerce is supporting the competition and entry forms and rules can be obtained from Uckfield Lions Bookshop, the Uckfield Volunteer Centre and several of the shops in the High Street.”

Uckﬁeld’s

Classical Summer Music Concerts

resh from the success of this year’s first summer music concert on May 21st, we chatted to Malcolm Cooper from Uckfield’s Music Club to hear all about the group’s history and plans for June and July’s performances: “The group started in 1944 and we celebrated our 70th anniversary last year. The first concert was staged after D Day and our pianist, Denis Matthews arrived wearing his military uniform!” Uckfield resident, Malcolm explains.

“Someone who is now a member after his first concert said: ‘I never realised that there is fantastic live music like this just round the corner!’” Malcolm continues. The next concert will be held on Thursday 18th June at 7:30pm and includes performances from renowned cello player and winner of The Countess of Munster Musical Trust award, Jane Lindsay and also collaborative pianist Alison Rhind, playing a varied programme including Beethoven, Schu-mann and Janacek.

“I have been a member for some 20 years, but was associated with the Club from the beginning because my mother was a founding member (and Secretary) and I went to some of the earlier concerts, hearing artists like, guitarist John Williams, oboist Leon Goossens, and cellist William Pleeth.” Playing classical instruments, the group’s eighty to a hundred members are pianists, horn, clarinet, oboe and wind musicians, (playing in duos, trios and quartets) and enjoy hosting annual summer concerts at St Margaret’s Church: “What I love about the Club is that it creates evenings of magic for anyone to enjoy: gorgeous music by first class artists in one of the loveliest settings imaginable: St Margaret’s Church, Buxted Park, on summer evenings – usually balmy - at an affordable price. It makes a special point of providing a platform for outstanding young talent.”

he Biggin Hill Festival of Flight has always been an event to look forward to, and to remember. This year, however, it’s going to be bigger than ever.

Originally, and successfully, a motor-racing circuit, Brooklands became home to the Hawker Hurricane and Vickers Wellington, which were built there for the war effort.

Commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, in which RAF Biggin Hill played a crucial role, the Festival will be pulling out all the stops to ensure a memorable and befitting event.

The first checkpoint is Bell and Colvill. Bobby (Bell) and Martin (Colvill) have sold cars together from their West Horsley premises for 40 years. Successful amateur racing drivers, they met through a mutual passion for motorsport and the legendary British Lotus marque, then at the height of Formula 1 success.

During the war the Aerodrome hosted the front line of defence against enemy bombers, with RAF fighters downing 1,400 Luftwaffe aircraft, from its runways alone. So naturally the air show will be spectacular. There will be fighter planes galore, including Spitfires, Hurricanes, Mustangs and a Messerschmitt Me109. But it doesn’t end there. The Festival also hosts an impressive ground display, both of aircraft and historical or military vehicles. However, this year’s static car display comes with a twist, thanks to a new part of the Festival called The Roundel Run. As much as Biggin Hill played a part in the Battle of Britain, so did many other locations across Surrey, Sussex and Kent. The inaugural Roundel Run aims to recognize their achievements as well. The Roundel Run is part ‘rally’ and part ‘motor show’. It will feature 75 vehicles that epitomise the very essence of motoring design, technology, style and culture; from the past to the present. It starts under Concorde, at Brooklands Museum; the home of British motorsport and aviation.

Along the way the route takes in the towns of Dorking and Reigate, with the latter being a key target during the war. One might surmise that this was because General Sir Bernard Montgomery, Land Commander of the 21st Army, had his HQ based in the large houses on Reigate Hill. Next up is Horley, home to Donald Campbell CBE, who broke 13 world speed records in the 1920s and 30s in his famous Bluebird cars and boats. The Run makes its way along the twisty roads of Turners Hill, on to East Grinstead, for a flying visit to the McIndoe Surgical Centre. Founded by Sir Archibald McIndoe, the Centre is famous for its legendary ‘Guinea Pig Club’. This was made up of patients, particularly RAF pilots and crew who, after receiving burn injuries in aircraft, needed experimental reconstructive plastic surgery for very deep burns and serious facial disfigurement. The Guinea Pig Club was the result of McIndoe’s efforts to make life in the hospital easier for his patients and to begin to rebuild them psychologically in preparation for life outside the hospital.

The next stop is Edenbridge, which hosted many evacuees during WW2. However it is probably most famous for its relationship with the Surtees family. John Surtees OBE, Formula 1 world champion in 1964, started Surtees Racing Management in the town in 1970 which resulted in the likes of F1 stars Mike Hailwood, Jochen Mass and 1980 Australian F1 World Champion Alan Jones becoming regular visitors to the townsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; motorsport factory. The Run then passes by the entrance to Chartwell House, the much-loved Churchill family home and the place from which Sir Winston drew inspiration from 1924 until the end of his life. During the Second World War, the house was mostly unused. Its relatively exposed position, in a county so near across the English Channel to German occupied France, meant it was potentially vulnerable to a German airstrike or commando raid. On passing the historic green with the Winston Churchill statue, in Westerham, the Roundel Run finishes the rally part of the day with a parade in front of the capacity crowd of 18,000 visitors, coming to a stop at the Festival Arena, where the motor show begins. In addition to educating and entertaining the Roundel Run will be raising money for four worthy charities; the RAF Benevolent Fund, the Kent, Surrey, Sussex Air Ambulance, Make a Wish Foundation UK and Brooklands Museum.

Falafel, Pepper And Goat’s Cheese Salad

If you’re having veggie friends around for lunch or just fancy a meat-free supper for a change this colourful salad will fit the bill. Falafels are small Middle Eastern deep-fried patties made with cooked chick peas. You can buy them ready-made in most supermarkets or deli’s but they are really easy to make at home with just a can of chick peas and a few store cupboard ingredients. For an on-the-go salad pack into warmed pitta breads.

Serves 4, Ready in 30 minutes 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped 4 tbsp freshly chopped parsley or coriander 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp chilli powder 2 tbsp plain flour Salt and freshly ground black pepper Oil for shallow frying 1 large red pepper, deseeded and thickly sliced

1 yellow pepper, deseeded and thickly sliced 2 tbsp olive oil 150g bag mixed salad leaves Half a small iceberg lettuce, roughly shredded 150g goats’ cheese, roughly crumbled FOR THE DRESSING 6 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp white wine vinegar ½ tsp Dijon mustard

1. To make the falafel, place the chick peas, garlic, parsley or coriander, spices and flour in a food processor and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Process for about 1 minute until you have a fairly smooth mixture. Turn into a bowl then divide and shape the mixture into 12 small patties with clean wetted hands. 2. Shallow fry the patties in hot oil for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. 3. Meanwhile, place the sliced peppers on a foil-lined grill pan and drizzle over the olive oil. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until tender and lightly charred in places. 4. Toss together the salad leaves and shredded iceberg lettuce. Arrange on four plates with the grilled peppers. Halve the hot falafel then add to the salad and top with roughly crumbled goats’ cheese. 5. To make the dressing, place all the ingredients in a screw-topped jar and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately. Tip: Add a handful of fruity black or green olives to the salad or sprinkle with some lightly toasted pine nuts to give an extra Mediterranean flavour.

any of us dream of running our own business and becoming renowned in our chosen field, but for Sussex resident Sam French, that dream has quickly become a reality – already winning Gatwick Diamond’s Young Start-Up Talent, having his quirky gingerbread bakes featured in Vogue magazine and even becoming a motivational speaker, inspiring fellow young entrepreneurs; all before he turned twenty-three years old.

Sam, who won a prize worth £50,000 from the Young Start Up awards in 2013, was inspired to bake his way to success whilst on a trip to Selfridges with his grandad – even though he couldn’t actually bake at the time: “I went into London to have lunch with my grandad. I hadn’t even been in there before, but had wanted to go. After trying some gingerbread I remember thinking: this is one of the best stores in the world, but I’m sure I can do better, so I started baking!” It took Sam a little over a year to perfect his gingerbread men (and women) and it wasn’t long before he was supplying both local and national businesses; including British Airways, winning over the Gatwick Diamond judges and motivating others with the story behind his London Fashion Week influenced collection and personalised bakes.

“I’ve always been someone who wants to do whatever I’m doing to the best of my ability,” Sam, who founded Sam’s Kitchen at just sixteen, tells us. “Whether that was selling second-hand toys (as the Crawley resident starting doing when he was just five, at his dad’s stall) or selling gingerbread men, I think it’s important to really love and enjoy what you do.”

“It’s been so exciting,” the young entrepreneur continues, “I’ve met some really inspirational people – including the founder of British retailer Jack Wills, which was amazing! You only live once, if there’s something you want to do, why not give it a go? “You’ll never know otherwise!”

We’re pleased to announce that Sam will be joining the TN Uncovered team, showcasing the talents of fellow business owners in our local area – pop over to www.tnuncovered.co.uk to check out his latest blog!

Bring Me Add extra space, make the most of precious sunshine and bring the garden into your house. Katherine Sorrell looks at what you should consider when planning to build a conservatory.

Kit or bespoke? Kits tend to be cheap and DIY-friendly, as most of the parts (usually a PVCu frame and polycarbonate roofing) are pre-cut and predrilled ready for installation. If you choose a bespoke design you’ll pay a great deal more, but you’ll have something tailored to your individual requirements. Remember that unless a conservatory is well finished and appropriate to your property, it may detract from rather than add to its value. Size, siting and aspect A simple plant room or occasional-use home office can be squeezed into quite a small space, but for a useable room such as a sitting room, dining room or playroom, allow at least eight to ten metres of floor area. Overall, ensure that the proportions of your conservatory suit how you’re going to live in it and complement your property and garden.

Walls and frames Traditionally, conservatories are built onto a 600mm high ‘dwarf’ wall made of brick or stone, in a colour and style that matches or complements that of the main house. More recently, however, fully-glazed structures have become fashionable, offering a contemporary look and even more light. The most popular choice for the wall framework is PVCu, a material that is light, strong, requires little maintenance and is often made to stock lengths so it can be system-built quickly and easily. It isn’t an environmentally friendly choice, however, and its modern look can be inappropriate for a period property. Bespoke conservatories are generally made in hardwood, which can be carved into slender, intricate designs and suits older properties, though it is more expensive and requires regular maintenance.

How will your conservatory adjoin the house? Is there a large enough exterior wall, and will you have to avoid obstructions such as trees or outbuildings? If possible, try to place it facing east or west, as north-facing conservatories tend to be cold, while south-facing ones can overheat.

/TNUNCOVERED

01825 983106

Glazing Double or triple glazing is essential to reduce heat loss from a conservatory at any time other than mid-summer. The best glazing combines a low-emissivity coating that reflects heat back inside, and argon-gas filled units for maximum insulation. In a bespoke conservatory, you can specify tinted, etched, obscured, anti-sun, fire-resistant, self-cleaning or other specialist glass at a price. For roofs, choose from glass or polycarbonate panels.

Ventilation In the height of summer you’ll need to be able to provide a cool waft of air in your conservatory. Roof vents may be opened manually (with long-armed winding gear) or electrically, or may even be thermostatically controlled to open at the necessary time, with a sensor to close them if it starts to rain. Trickle vents in the roof or side windows are useful, allowing warm air to flow out as necessary. You may also wish to add a central ceiling fan.

The latter are light and strong, cheap, and quick and easy to fit, but tend to obscure light, particularly at thicknesses that achieve the same thermal performance as double glazing. Near trees, they may also suffer from algae growth.

Shading Not just necessary for privacy, blinds also provide shade from direct sunlight and reduce the build-up of heat. If the latter is a problem, your best bet is solar-reflective roller blinds. Otherwise, the options include pleated fabric, pinoleum Roman blinds and slatted Venetian blinds. The blinds you choose will have an enormous impact on the style of the room as a whole, so take your time choosing a look that’s right for you. Remember to ask how easy it is to clean your chosen blinds, and consider whether you want to open and close them with pull-cords, rods or via remote control.

Heating Heating is essential if you plan to use your conservatory in winter and, to comply with building regulations, it must be independent from your main system. You may wish to place radiators against the dwarf walls or install under-floor heating, either of the warm-water pipe or electric cable variety, or you may consider electric trench heaters, hidden under grilles around the edges of the floor. Where there’s room for a chimney or flue it is perfectly possible to install an open fire on the wall that was the outside of the original house.

Do I need permission? Many small, domestic conservatories don’t need planning permission, but there are conditions. For further information, look at planningportal.gov.uk and consult your local planning authority.

Bugs and Beetles Bugs and beasties are really thriving in this warmer weather, so just how should you deal with the most common problems you are likely to encounter at this time of year? Aphids

Woodlice

Greenfly and blackfly, also known as aphids, can be a real menace as they suck sap from your plants and can transmit viruses at the same time. Aphids breed incredibly rapidly, so regular control is necessary.

Woodlice often cause a lot of concern, however these little creatures are rarely responsible as they simply do not have adequately strong mouthparts. They can cause damage to soft new growth or occasionally to soft-fleshed fruits such as strawberries but can’t tackle tougher plant growth. You may see them at the ‘scene of the crime’ and presume that they have caused the initial damage but they have probably moved in to clean up a lot of the debris created by other creatures.

•

Check plants regularly and either spray with a suitable insecticide or a soap or plant oil based insecticide

•

Use biological controls – they’re totally safe for all other creatures and of course leave no residues

•

Use a strong jet of water to blast the aphids off plants, but do a thorough job or else they will soon be back up and causing damage

Caterpillars Caterpillars come in all shapes, sizes and colours, but can do a lot of damage as they munch their way through your plants and perhaps even into your vegetables. •

Hand pick the pest where possible and either squash or place on the bird table. They’re easiest to spot at dusk or very early in the morning.

•

Spray with a suitable contact insecticide or better still use the Nemasys Caterpillar biological control.

•

Some caterpillars, in particular the Tortrix Moth produce quantities of fine webbing which they use to bind leaves or other plant parts together to create particularly safe shelters for themselves. It’s hard for a pesticide to actually reach them so hand picking or squashing is often the best answer.

•

Cover caterpillar-susceptible crops such as calabrese, broccoli and other brassicas with Envirofleece or Enviromesh.

Earwigs Earwigs can cause quite a bit of damage, particularly on the flowers of plants such as clematis and dahlias, where they nibble out large quantities of petal or occasionally leaf. Try trapping them using an inverted flowerpot on top of a bamboo cane. The bamboo cane and pot should be positioned amongst susceptible plants and the pot needs to be stuffed loosely full of hay, straw or similar material. The earwigs climb in there to hide and the pots can them simply be emptied out on a regular basis. Mildew Powdery mildew is also a problem at this time of year; it coats plant leaves, stems, buds and sometimes even petals with a white floury deposit. Sometimes the mildew can also prevent fruits from swelling normally, cause the leaves to become distorted and even fall early. Prompt action is essential and if you wish you can use a proprietary fungicide but check the label carefully for suitability. Keep the damage to a minimum in the first instance by ensuring that the plants are kept well watered. In addition try to ensure a good flow of air around the plants. A bit of careful pruning or weeding often helps too.

Five ways to boost your conﬁdence this summer With summer fast approaching the thought of shedding off those layers of clothes can terrify us. Here’s some top tips to help you blossom this Summer.

• Firstly how about shedding all those negative thoughts about how you look. It’s time to spring clean those thoughts. Rather than starting from a point of ‘I wish I was’, start from ‘this is where I am, how can I move forward?’. As you head along the journey clear out the excess. How many of you keep clothes in their wardrobe ‘just in case’. You are already telling yourself you're likely to fail. As you open your wardrobe this summer see the clothes of the future, not the past. • Secondly, the key to dieting and healthy eating is listening to our bodies. Imagine balancing all the unhealthy food we eat in one hand and all the nutritious healthy foods in the other. Can you imagine what each hand would look like? Junk food sticking to one hand, running down your fingers, a mix of sticky ingredients. Against the natural foods, the fresh fruits and vegetables, with every colour of the rainbow catered for. I know which one is more appealing to me. If you are not sure or want some guidance, we have so many nutritionists available locally these days.

/RHUncovered

• Thirdly and just as importantly is hydration. Our bodies are made up of over 70% water. If you’re dehydrated this is a form of negative stress on the body. • Tip four is exercise. When you exercise you release a feel good chemical into the body. So not only are you burning off energy, you’re releasing that feel good chemical in you. • Finally but just as important, sleep… no I’m not hypnotising you! A lack of sleep can cause us to lose focus and make mistakes, which is turn can undermine our confidence. So how to spring into Summer confidently? Look after number one. Take time to relax. Have a massage. Treat yourself to a relaxing hypnotherapy session. Fuel your body with energising natural fuel. Why not grow vegetables? Then not only do you get the energy, you get the exercise looking after them. So shoulders back, a smile on your face and make this Summer your most confident one ever. Becky Wells, www.beckywells.com Personal Development Hypnotherapist www.payitforwarduk.net

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
