“Our Club welcomes all those who have reached fifty-five years and over. Don’t let our name fool you - we’re definitely not a group of fuddy duddies,” chairman Isabella Salmond laughs.

“I first came along to the group, with a friend who had become a little lonely since sadly losing his wife,” Isabella explains. “I thought if I came along, it would give him support. The club, which has been running since the 1950s, And then I ended up becoming chairman!” holds monthly meetings (each third Thursday of “It’s a friendly group, open to everyone aged the month at Burwash Village Hall, from 2:15pm) with a range of varied speakers - recent intriguing fifty-five and over,” the chairman of three years says. “Come and join us!” talks were given on the history of corsets and by Heathfield vet Janet Nuttal, who has been The next meeting, costing just £1.50 to join, caring for animals for almost forty years. will be held on Thursday 17th September at They also provide the opportunity for socialising Burwash Village Hall; 2:15pm – 3pm. over a cuppa and taking part in the raffle.

Looking for something to do? T

hen why not volunteer? Whether you’re looking to socialise, now the kids are heading back to school or you’re hoping to improve your skill set or perhaps you just want to give something back to the community – whatever your reason; there’s never been a better time to tick volunteering off that bucket list… Each month 15.2 million people in the UK volunteer, while 23.1 million spare their time to benefit their communities, once a year, according to a recent Community Life Survey. Just one local organisation that helps volunteers find such placements is Uckfield Volunteer Centre, located in the town’s High Street. Through chatting with someone interested in volunteering their time, knowledge and experience, the team can place a potential volunteer in a role where they can thrive and also benefit the lives of others, as the centre’s office manager, Ann Montier (who is herself, a volunteer!), explains:

“Volunteering gives you the opportunity to make a real difference to your community, enhance your skills and learn new ones. It boosts your confidence and self-esteem - helping others and being appreciated does wonder for you.” A local volunteer (who wanted to be kept anonymous, due to the sensitivity of her placements) was keen to share her positive experiences with our readers, telling us: “When I retired, I immediately went travelling and after I had settled back home again, after about three years, I realised that I needed to do something worthwhile. I didn’t want anything which was regularly every week on the same day and the same time, so I went to our Volunteer Bureau as it was known then, and I was put in touch with an eighty year old lady, who had come out of hospital and needed to be taken out to the shops and befriended.”

“At the Uckfield Volunteer Centre we currently have about 170 vacancies for volunteers ranging from driving, charity shop workers, fundraising, befriending, practical work such as gardening - the list goes on and on. There is something for everyone.

“After meeting for a couple of hours on a Tuesday morning which always could be changed if either of us were doing something on that day, it escalated into two mornings a week by mutual arrangement, one for chatting and one for shopping! After a few years, she sadly died which left me with fond memories of a lovely lady.” “I then decided to leave it for a little while and after a couple of years, I felt I had some time which I could spend doing something worthwhile. I got in touch with Ann who put me in touch with the East Sussex for the Blind and Partially Sighted Society, where I have enjoyed monthly get togethers, helping some wonderful people and have now been promoted to being on the Committee!. I felt a month ago, I needed to do more, and have now been put in touch with another lady whom I am befriending.”

To find your perfect placement visit online resource: www.do-it.org or pop in to Uckfield Volunteer Centre, 79 High St, Uckfield.

“I would recommend for anyone who has the time, to try to find a way of helping others as it is tremendously rewarding. The Volunteer Centre is full of sensitive, delightful volunteers who are happy to help in a search, and I have made some very good friends along the way!”

Community Heroes: Heathﬁeld and Waldron’s

First Responders

When many of us think of heroes, the mind conjures up images of people saving lives – and that’s exactly what this month’s Community Heroes; Heathfield and Waldron’s First Responders help to do each day! The ambulance service aims to respond to all life-threatening calls in under eight minutes, however, throughout our area; the median response time can be up to seventeen minutes, due to rural locations. That’s where the Heathfield and Waldron First Responders come in. A group of local volunteers, who are medically trained by the ambulance service, serve calls from Five Ashes, Cross-in-Hand, Heathfield, Waldron, Broad Oak and Punnett’s Town to ensure that vital life-saving support is given to local patients, whilst waiting for an ambulance to arrive. All First Responders are aged 17-69 years old, live and work, five miles from Heathfield and own their own vehicles, so that they can be at the scene within those all-important few minutes of a call. In the two years of operation, they have attended over 1000 medical emergencies in support of the South East Coast Ambulance service (SECAmb) “The Heathfield and Waldron Community First Responders are exactly the sort of group we like to fund, here at Sussex Community Foundation: local people organising themselves to help themselves and fulfil a need in their own community,” Miranda Kemp, who nominated the group explained. “We have given them two grants of £3,000 since 2014.”

/TNUNCOVERED

“Their Chairman Dr Tim Williams and Trustee Bobby Hamilton are delightful in every way and work tirelessly for the Responders. I am not sure how many lives they must have saved but they do a sterling job for the people of Heathfield and Waldron. May they go from strength to strength!” Each Community Responder gives their time for free, while donations (like the grants from Sussex Community Foundation) helps to cover costs of life-saving equipment, given to all responders – which can cost up to £2000 per kit. If you would like to make a donation or join this outstanding organisation contact Dr Tim Williams on 01435 812273 or at twill30999@aol. com.

Bringing Quality Care to You

Riding through the Forest

een horse riders are invited to saddle up and join the third pleasure ride, organised by the Ashdown Forest Riding Association on Sunday 20th September.

Over the last two years, the ride has become more and popular – so what does Helen, an enthusiastic rider herself, think has made the event a must for so many local riders?

The scenic, almost entirely off-road, ride will start and finish at Blackhill Car Park, Black Hill Road, Crowborough, between 9:30am and 12pm, and take in unspoilt views of heathland and woodlands – the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning!

“It has given the committee enormous satisfaction at the end of the last two rides, having riders giving you compliments about how well the course has been marked, how friendly the event has been and how they have enjoyed it,” she smiles.

“The aim of the event is for riders to hopefully come and enjoy the fantastic riding that the Forest has to offer and explore a part of Ashdown Forest that a lot of riders have not visited,” Ashdown Forest Riding Association’s Helen Bardsley explains. “Any profit from the event will be donated to the conservators to help with ride maintenance. To ride in the Forest at other times; a yearly or day permit may be purchased from the conservators.” Riders can choose to take on either a ten or twelve mile course and pathways will be clearly marked and road crossings marshalled. There will also be the opportunity to enjoy refreshments half-way around the course too!

/TNUNCOVERED

“Of course, the far reaching views are amazing, ancient woodland, chestnut coppice, heathland, gorse and heather and a varied terrain (including some rutty paths), must contribute to their enjoyment!” Advance entry fees cost £15.00 for AFRA members, £20.00 for permit holders and £25.00 for non-permit holders. Children under 14 (accompanied by an adult) ride half price. All entries on the day cost an extra £5.00, with all profits made helping the AFRA to continue their maintenance work. Entry forms can be downloaded by visiting: www.afranews.org.uk.

or many parents, deciding which school their children should go to – be it for primary, secondary, state-run or independent, can be one of the hardest choices that they will encounter; after all each child is different and of course, we all want the best possible start for the brightest future. As well as perusing the glossy brochures, chatting with fellow parents and going along to open days – we’ve put together a definitive list of questions to ask prospective schools, which will hopefully make that all-important decision easier.

Prevention is better than the cure I

n the motor trade you hear a lot of different expressions, many of which are far too vulgar to repeat in print. However, there are the odd few that are quite poignant and even, dare I say it, useful. One that isn’t used enough these days though is “prevention is better than the cure”.

If we take a misty-eyed look back in time to the middle to late part of the 20th century, owning a car was still something of a luxury. It wasn’t something that everyone could afford and, in the grand scheme of things, still quite a new and novel thing. Many say it was a simpler time too. There were no computers, there were only three channels on the black and white TV, hair was longer and clothes were stranger. Things were made differently too. Rather than meticulous robotics putting things together in an airtight chamber, it might have once been done by a bloke called Dave wearing a flat-cap, with a half-smoked ‘roly’ hanging out of his mouth. He’d have no doubt used a hammer, and at least three different swear words as part of the process too. As such, if you wanted things to last, they needed looking after a bit more. Take the motor car, for example, if you wanted it to stay reliable, you’d need to be getting it serviced at least twice a year. As time has marched on, cars might have got more expensive, but manufacturers make many hundreds of thousands more of them, the process by which they are built is a lot better and the materials used, (in most instances), are a lot higher quality. The net result of this is vehicle manufacturers extending their ‘recommended service intervals’ further and further apart. It’s all well and good that engine oils are a lot better quality and that an interval of over 15,000 miles between changes is okay, but a lot can happen to a car in that time. If it wasn’t for the annual MOT test (which is only really a basic inspection of the car and by no means a full certificate of health) there would be some very dangerous cars on the road. Not only that, it’s not unusual to find yourself hit with a larger than expected bill, as it’s been 18,000 miles since someone last looked at the car and things have worn out under there. Our roads aren’t exactly billiard table smooth, are they!?

/TNUNCOVERED

We are seeing a lot more people driving their cars until they break, these days, which is a real shame. This is partly due to those ever-expanding service schedules and partly due to the fact that owning a car today isn’t the privilege that it once was. It’s almost a consumable in today’s modern society. There are over double the amount of cars on the roads in the UK now, compared to when my grandfather set up Morley Auto Services in 1966 and most of them seem to be on the M25 when I want to use it. Going back to my original point of prevention being better than the cure, here is a prime example: Vehicles fitted with a timing belt require this to be changed at regular intervals. It’s what you might call a service item, it does wear out. In some cases it’s a time consuming, and therefore costly, job. Let us say that all-in it costs £300 to do the job on Mr Smith’s car. Mr Smith is unsure whether he wants the job doing as it seems like a lot of money to spend when there are no obvious faults with the car, so Mr Smith leaves it. Two weeks later, Mr Smith’s timing belt snaps and the engine’s valves and pistons (previously kept apart by this belt) now become very intimate. What would have been a £300 job is now a £1500 engine re-build. Obviously this is a worst-case scenario, but it’s a perfect example of when prevention is better than the cure. The same can be said of a set of brake pads, something that would be checked when the wheels come off as part of a routine service. A £70 brake pad change suddenly becomes a £200 set of discs and pads when the pads are left to wear out to the extent that they damage the disc. It boils down to the fact that just like the human body, if you look after it, you won’t be at the doctors every two weeks. If you act on early warning signs, there will hopefully be no nasty surprises later down the line. So do yourself, your car, and your bank balance a favour, and get it looked at properly at least once a year.

Managing the Menopause A

re you suddenly finding yourself feeling hotter than the Gobi Desert? You know the feeling, as you settle down for a night’s sleep you want to throw the duvet out the window? I’m talking about the signs that the menopause may be starting.

What can Doctors help you with during these changes within your body? The most important thing to say is, don’t put off going and speaking to your GP. They can help guide you. They have many links to other organisations who can help with this transition your body is going through.

What are possible signs and symptoms that it may has started?

Doctors have a wide array of medications available including HRT, which research has shown can help to restore the level of the hormone, oestrogen. Many other medications are available, which may help with the hot flushes, nausea or other changes in mood.

• Hot flushes or night sweats • Feeling your heart racing • Difficulty in sleeping, either going to or staying asleep • Reduced libido • Mood changes, such as feeling tired, irritable, depressed or anxious • Concentration loss or poor memory

Are there any natural alternatives available? Exercise has been shown not only to help with some of the symptoms but also by exercising you help protect your body from heart disease and osteoporosis. Always seek advice from a fitness or medical professional before commencing any exercise. Relaxation techniques or selfhypnosis may also help. Learning how to manage the anxious thoughts around these changes can give you back a feeling of being in control. Acupuncture, Aromatherapy and other alternative remedies are widely available too. It’s always important to get yourself checked out by a GP if concerned, and then find a course of treatments or combination of things that work for you. Our bodies are all different, so if one doesn’t work, try an alternative. Don’t give up. I know there are some extremely knowledgeable professionals in this area who are on hand to help and give advice.

/TNUNCOVERED

There are many ways to help you through this time of changes, always speak to someone. It’s important to know you are not alone. 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

9 ways to create a new room in your house Just had a baby? Started working from home? Run out of storage? Then you need to stretch your home.

1. Add a conservatory Pros: Adds extra living space and brings the garden into your home. Relatively inexpensive. Cons: A poorly built conservatory can be too hot in summer, freezing cold in winter and full of condensation. Takes space from your garden. Regulations: Many conservatories are exempt from planning permission and building regulations, but check with your local planning department first.

2. Build an extension

3. Convert the loft

Pros: Adding a rear extension to a kitchen can be a great way to create a multi-functional family room. Filling in the side return in a typical Victorian terrace is popular. It may be possible to add a second storey for a new bedroom or bathroom on the first floor, too.

Pros: Create a bedroom (perhaps with a bathroom), a home office or playroom, without taking space from the garden.

Cons: Reduces garden size. Unsympathetic extensions feel like an add-on. Regulations:Can often be done without planning permission, depending on size and height. Check your permitted development rights with your local council’s planning department. You’ll also need building regulations approval and, if you’re semi-detached or in a terrace, party wall consent from neighbours. Visit www.planningportal.gov.uk for more information.

Cons: Not every loft has the headroom or enough useable space. More difficult and expensive if your roof isn’t traditionally built. Regulations: Can often be done without planning permission, depending on size and height. Check your permitted development rights with your local council’s planning department. You’ll also need building regulations approval and, if you’re semi-detached or in a terrace, party wall consent from neighbours. Visit www.planningportal.gov.uk for more information.

4. Convert the cellar Pros: Turn a cellar into family living space, a useful utility area, a home office or even a self-contained annexe, without altering the outside of your home.

Regulations: If you just want to turn an existing cellar into a normal room, it’s classed as a change of use and doesn’t need planning permission. But if you lower the floor or extend, you’re likely to need permission, so check with your local authority. And Cons: Often more expensive, per square metre, than you’ll need party wall consent from any adjoining other ways of creating extra space. Can be difficult to neighbours. In both cases you must comply with Building Regulations.gov.uk for more information. get enough headroom and light into the new room.

/TNUNCOVERED

01342 718348

5. Build a room in the garden Pros: The building work will hardly bother you.

Cons: Not suitable for small gardens. Could look like a shed, security is an issue, and if not properly insulated it will be too cold to use in winter. Regulations : A simple garden room may be exempt from planning permission and Building Regulations, but if it’s laid on permanent foundations and connected to mains power, water and sewerage, you’ll need both.

6. Put in an ensuite

7. Build on top of your garage

Cons: Installing an ensuite at the expense of a bedroom could knock your property’s value.

Cons: Foundations may not be strong enough, so the garage will have to be underpinned.

Regulations: Planning permission isn’t usually needed, but Building Regulations approval is.

Regulations: You’ll need planning permission and Building Regulations.

Pros: Loved by buyers. Can be fitted into quite a small space.

Pros: A first floor extension on top loses no garden space and is often relatively easy.

8. Convert your understairs space 9. Convert your garage Pros: Turns a poorly used area into a valuable extra room – perfect for a ground-floor loo, an extra shower room or a study area. Cons: You’ll have to find extra space to store that under-stairs stuff. If putting in a loo or bathroom, ventilation and connecting to drainage may be a problem. Regulations: Building Regulations approval is necessary if you’re installing a bathroom.

Pros: It’s a relatively straightforward job to turn it into a valuable indoor space. Cons: Foundations may need strengthening. Avoid if you live in an area where parking is at a premium. Regulations: Planning permission is not usually required, but Building Regulations approval is.

Unwelcome Visitors

Ask a dictionary the definition of a weed and you’ll read that it’s ‘a plant growing in the wrong place’. Ask a gardener, and they’ll tell you that weeds are often the number one menace in their garden. So if you want to wage war on those pesky weeds, and stand a chance of winning, take a look at my multi-pronged attack strategy.

Off with their Heads Whatever the weed problem, it’s essential to prevent them from setting seed. Make sure you cut off its head before it has a chance to even start to procreate. The old saying that ‘one year’s seed is seven years’ weed’ isn’t far from the truth. Stop Stowaways When you’re next shopping for plants in your local garden centre or nursery make sure that you only bring home what you want, not those hidden stowaways that often lurk on the compost surface. I always do a bit of weeding before buying: especially for weeds such as the innocent looking hairy bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta). Spaghetti roots Some weeds like couch grass, bindweed and nettles have amazingly resilient and far-reaching underground stems or roots. Whatever you do, don’t succumb to the temptation to use a powered cultivator or rotovator as this will chop the roots into little bits and end up spreading and increasing the problem in the process. Lawn Louts Lawn weeds such as dandelions and daisies are difficult to control as unlike the taller weeds, these rosette-forming plants won’t be harmed as you mow the lawn. One of the best, albeit slow, methods is to tackle them with a sturdy old kitchen knife or a daisy-grubber tool. Deep Rooted Problems Some weeds such as docks and dandelions have tough and chunky roots that are very difficult to kill. And to make matters worse, if you leave any sizeable bit of the root in the soil, it’s likely to form a new plant. Do everything you can to take out the entire root as you’ll be saving a lot of time in the long run.

/TNUNCOVERED

Laying Carpet For large areas, try the carpet option; literally covering the surface with a layer or two of carpet, held in place with bricks. If the carpet is placed fluffy side down and left in place for at least 18 months, the weeds will start to die off from lack of light. Make sure that the carpet is made from natural fibres, not synthetic or else you’ll be left with it in the soil, and for allotments, check that there are no restrictions on using carpet. Time it Right Some weeds such as the purple flowered oxalis spread by forming tiny ‘bulbils’ or miniature bulbs below ground. If you try to dig these weeds out now, the bulbils will be shed into the surrounding soil as you lift the plant out, making matters worse. Wait until next spring when the bulbils will be firmly attached and weed them out then. Hoe, hoe, hoe An old fashioned and still just as useful method of weed control is the hoe. They’re a great way to weed your garden, especially if it’s largely annual weeds such as chickweed or groundsel that invade your plot. Keep the hoe sharp and use it regularly. Careful what you Compost Only compost the green, leafy bits of weeds; avoid any chunky roots, and never put any flowering or seeding weeds in the compost heap. Some weed seeds will easily survive most domestic composting systems. Visit Pippa’s website www.pippagreenwood.com for a great range of gardening products including Pippa’s favourite weeder, Nemaslug, Nemasys caterpillar, slug, ant and other biological controls, Enviromesh & Envirofleece and lots more besides.
