Kitten Food Appeal
A local animal charity that provides a lifeline to abandoned domestic animals and wildlife, is urgently appealing for food donations to feed a recent intake of 21 kittens. Animal Accident Rescue Unit came to the rescue of the kittens from various parts of Nottinghamshire; some had been abandoned, some just born to young mothers – all needed vet checks, medication and food – like Oleg (pictured), modelling in an empty cat food box!
in its foster care, so many more kittens are expected over the coming months. Readers can help by donating kitten food. All you have to do is contact Chris on 07949 780918 or email admin@animalaccident.org.uk. Your help would be very much appreciated. The charity’s main telephone number is 0115 9321555, and website is www.animalaccident.org.uk
Martins Farm
ian & Feed Supplies Equestr
As Chris Bull, pet food co-ordinator for the charity, explains: ‘We’ve a lot of tiny mouths to feed and really would appreciate donations of kitten food. Any brand is fine, as long as it’s kitten, not adult, food. The first year of a cat’s life has periods of significant growth. The food they eat must contain the correct levels of nutrition to help them become strong.’

Survivor of Alton Towers Smiler Crash Says Injury Is Not Worth The Compensation Leah Washington, one of the survivors of the Smiler crash at Alton Towers in June this year has spoken out about how her life has changed since the accident and highlighted that the compensation payment she received is not a windfall, whilst also discussing the abuse she has endured online. Leah described how she has received upsetting messages from people through social media who said they would be prepared to lose a leg for £1 million compensation, after having to have her leg amputated after the crash. “People say ‘Oh, I’d lose a leg for millions of pounds’, but they wouldn’t because they don’t understand everything else that comes along with it - the pain, the physio, the learning to walk again,” she said. “It is so much and so not worth the money.” Wayne Vickers, Personal Injury solicitor at Rothera Dowson says: “The purpose of claiming damages is to restore an injured person to the position they were in before being harmed through another’s negligence, or breach of duty. A catastrophic injury may well result in a significant damages settlement; however, there is a misconception within society that such settlements are akin to winning the lottery. The public, probably due to misreporting by some in the media, do not really appreciate that when an injured person brings a successful personal injury claim, following life changing injuries, the majority of the damages may be needed to fund future costs, relating to care; rehabilitation; equipment; accommodation; and even retraining, which may enable the injured person to return to the workplace.
The actual sum received for the injury may be relatively small in comparison. We, as a society, tend to see a significant damages settlement as a pot of cash, rather than thinking how the money will be spent. The alternative to claiming damages would be for the state and so us as tax payers, to pick up the bill. This is because an injured person may have no option but to claim state benefits if they are unable to work because of their injuries. They may also need to receive treatment and rehabilitation via the NHS. Thankfully, the majority of accidents do not result in catastrophic injuries. Regardless as to the seriousness of the injuries sustained, we need to remember that innocent accident victims do not ask to be injured. It is only correct and proper that in a just society, where a person is injured through no fault of their own, they should be adequately compensated, to allow them to return to normality, which is particularly the case when injuries are life changing”. If you need to seek any Personal Injury advice please contact Rothera Dowson’s Personal Injury Solicitor Wayne Vickers on 0115 9100 600.

Sliding Door Wardrobes Celebrates 20 Years In Business! On the 20th anniversary of Sliding Door Wardobes Ltd trading, they celebrate their busiest year so far. The success of this business lies in the fact that at its core has always been customer satisfaction and value for money. There’s that extra reassurance with a family business that there is always someone on the end of the phone, should the need arise.
Just like the big companies, everything is guaranteed for 10 years, but because Sliding Door Wardrobes Ltd produce exclusively sliding door wardrobes there is an incredible array of choice with literally thousands of permutations. The time from ordering to installation is two weeks! This is because everything is made in-house, phew… Long waiting times are now a thing of the past. Drop in sometime… have a look around!
Sliding Door Wardobes Ltd have stayed away from crazy offers that often don’t ring true, and instead have an ‘honest pricing policy’. What you see is what you get, so customers can rely on competitive pricing!

Lester Mathews by Bob Massey
Arthur Lester Matthews was born 3rd December 1900 at 180 Hucknall Road Nottingham. He was the only son of Percy Lester Matthews, a lace dresser, and his wife Mary. They were a relatively well off family employing a servant, Nellie Lovett, who also looked after the new arrival. The family moved to 52 Ebers Road, Mapperley by 1911 where the young Lester, as he was known, spent his childhood. He did not want to follow in his fathers footsteps but instead became an actor. Lester mainly played dashing or temperamental leads. By 1930 the talking pictures had arrived and Lester was keen to try his hand at this new medium. He was soon getting bit parts in the very early films and in 1931 he took the part of Brian Nash in a British short film called the The Limping Man. The same year, Lester met and married a fellow actor Anne Grey. He appeared in four other films in 1931 as well as four more in 1932. In 1933 Lester made a staggering ten films followed by five more in 1934. He was now specialising in adventure, crime and horror films. With 24 films to his credit in four years he decided to try his luck in Hollywood. He set sail for America with his wife on the SS Dinteldyk on 18th December 1934. On their arrival he was signed straight away and given a contract by Universal Pictures. He immediately started making films in America. His first was The Werewolf in London, a classic horror film made in 1935. Two other films followed the same year with seven more in 1936.
Lester made another 17 films up to the start of World War Two. In 1938 he and Anne Grey divorced. Although Ann had been making films in England since 1928 her career never really took off in America. By the time she retired from the screen in 1939 and returned to Britain she had appeared in 44 films most of them made in Britain. Lester chose to say in America and continued to make films throughout the war having completed a further 40 films by the end of the war. Lester re-married in the 1940’s to Frances Walper. He appeared in films right up to 1974. In 1951 he also tried his hand at television. He first appeared in an episode of the US TV series Racket Squad that year. His early television appearances included Fireside Theatre in 1951 and Omnibus in 1953. He appeared in another 55 TV series during his career including well known programmes such as The Beverly Hillbillies, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, The Lucy Show, 77 Sunset Strip, Bonanza, Rawhide and the Adventures of Dr. Fu Manchu. Overall he made nearly 200 films during his long career spanning some 43 years. Lester died at the age of 74 on 6th June 1975 at his home in Los Angeles. This was just a year after making his last film, Baby Needs a New Pair of Shoes. At his request he was cremated and his ashes scattered in the Pacific Ocean.

The Recovery from Separation & Divorce course gives help and support, as well as practical tools, to get through your relationship breakdown and divorce. It is a safe, non-judgmental environment to meet others who are in the same situation, which allows discussions and questions whilst grappling with important issues. The course has been developed by divorcees with different specialties: a judge, solicitors, communications experts, counsellors, family life experts, and mediation advisers. It has been helping thousands of people recover from relationship breakdown. All the people that run and help with the course have been through divorce and separation themselves and have a passion to help others recover completely from the impact that relationship breakdown brings. Although the RSD course is run in a church building in the city centre, it is specifically designed for people who may not go to church or who do not want to discuss faith issues. The setting is welcoming, relaxed and unthreatening. What others have said after being on this course:“I now feel less like a failure, less like a social pariah and less as if I have let myself and others down”. “I wish I’d come on this course before now”. “I’m excited about finding myself, investing in and nurturing the relationships that matter to me”. The courses run over an eight week period. They ask for a small donation of £30 towards refreshments and materials, however bursaries are available for people under financial pressure. If you would like more information please contact Judy Collinge on 0115 779 1315 or email: judy.collinge@ gracechurchnottingham.org or visit the website: www.gracechurchnottingham.org/ rsd

You should also ensure the batteries in your lights are always in full working order and not running low. Staying visible on the roads during the winter months is important; it doesn’t cost the earth and can help you have many hours of safe cycling.
It is good practice to use your rear light when cycling during the autumn and winter months as the weather can change quickly and being as visible as possible on the road should be a priority. Hi-viz clothing is also an ideal way of staying visible during dusk and dark nights. Reflective clothing is a highly effective way of being seen on the busy roads, especially when it is worn on parts of the body that move.

The Embankment is a newly refurbished venue, situated on Trent Bridge. It was clear from the moment we walked in that the team at The Embankment are proud of the heritage of their building. Formerly the Boots “No.2” store in the company’s home city it also became the firm’s social club. The pub has been tastefully refurbished and adorned with Boots memorabilia, pharmaceutical antiques and striking wall art, some of which includes photographs of the local area from bygone years. The £600,000 investment is said to have ‘transformed the worst bits of the old interior and made a virtue of the best’. Original features - like the parquet floor, oak panelling, and stained glass - have been brought back to life, and complimented with contemporary features. With two bars, a restaurant, a conservatory, function rooms plus a planned gig venue downstairs, it lends itself well to community use. The adults only ‘Dispensary’ bar is particularly attractive and atmospheric, walking comfortably down the line between contemporary and tradition, and showcasing an excellent selection of real ale and craft beer. Their aim is to produce traditional food but with a Mediterranean twist and some British-style tapas – things like mini fishand-chips or cottage pie. We ate from the Sunday lunch menu. Starters were £2.95 to £3.95. We chose Serrano ham bruschetta topped with honey dressed watercress & pomegranate. A delight!
For mains our choices were steak, stilton & stout pie £9.95, chicken tikka masala £8.50 (both these were filling and delicious) or bangers & mash with onion gravy for £7.95 (chosen and enjoyed by our children). Our family were looked after well by Ryan. The meal was good quality and affordable and the place relaxing and casual. A good, honest venue serving great value food. In terms of The Embankment as a venue for your events like business seminars, conferences and meetings, team activities, training days, weddings, family celebrations and themed events they are happy to help you to plan your event and ensure you don’t pay more than you need to. The Embankment is a unique venue for all occasions. Relaxing and informal, within a great building with a fascinating history. Give it a try!

kids Egg-citing discovery made in Porchester Junior School’s compost heap!
Porchester Pupils Help Friend Ellie Raise Money for Diabetes UK
Children at Porchester Junior School discovered a mysterious large egg in their compost heap in the school playground on Monday.
Porchester Junior School pupils held a non-uniform ‘onesie’ day to help their friend Ellie Ross to raise money for Diabetes UK.
The mind-boggling egg led to a week of studies linked to the curriculum including egg poetry, measuring in maths, the structure of eggs and experiments in science. The pupils also tried to imagine what kind of extinct animal could have laid an egg of that size by studying natural history and thought about the most effective ways they could employ to protect it in school.
Ellie, age 7 and a pupil at the school has a family member with Type 1 Diabetes and along with her mum wanted to do something to raise money and awareness. As well as the ‘onesie’ day which raised £160, Ellie also did a sponsored 7 mile walk in the Peak District which raised £360!
Anne Ingle, Deputy Head at the school said that the egg story allowed the children to learn about serious subjects in a fun way. “It created a real buzz around school, children became researchers, scientists and historians. They were able to take real life events and use them in their studies and created some superb report writing and a news article too.” Mrs Ingle said that at the end of the week a professor who ‘appeared’ to be from the Natural History Museum came to collect the egg.

Ellie said, “I was really happy to see everyone at school in ‘onesies’- I was really happy!” It was widely agreed at Porchester Junior School that Head Teacher Graham Cullen, looked the silliest in his Batman ‘onesie’. He said, “It was great to see the school taking part in the fundraising, and for such a good cause. It has helped the staff to talk about Diabetes in a meaningful way to pupils who now have a greater understanding. We are grateful to everyone that played a part to raise the money to help Ellie in her quest.” World Diabetes Day is held on November 14th each year and says its aims are ‘education and prevention’ of the condition.

Remembrance Day Has New Significance for Pupils at Porchester Junior School
Porchester Junior School pupils know that they have a good caretaker at their Standhill Road school. But most of them didn’t know that Shaun Martwich who keeps their school in tip top condition was also a military man. That is until he turned up in uniform to help the children recognise Remembrance Day. The school always holds a ceremony to remember those of past and present conflicts and plants a poppy garden with handmade poppies and messages from the children. But this year their new site manager Shaun, who served for 35 years in the Parachute Regiment brought home to children and staff just how important the ceremony is. Children wrote messages on their handmade poppies saying ‘Lest we forget’ and ‘We will remember them’ before planting them in the school garden.

Be Kind To Yourself The first couple of months of the new year can be cold, dark and miserable. Party season is over. You’ve drunk far too much, eaten your own body weight in chocolate oranges, not moved off the settee for a fortnight (reaching for the remote doesn’t count!) and spent the GNP of a small country on presents. Does it really make sense to suddenly pledge to lose 3 stone in three weeks, join a gym and go every night and not spend another penny until next December? I don’t think so!! A few years ago I decided to give up making resolutions on new years eve. The pattern was the same every year. Setting myself up to fail, then beating myself up when, surprise, surprise, I achieved nothing. As a general rule January and February can be pretty bleak. Depriving yourself of things that make you happy doesn’t help. Forget resolutions and instead focus on being nice to yourself. I recently came across an old Facebook page called “Be Kind To Yourself Challenge”. All you had to do was come up with one complementary thing about yourself every day for a month. What a lovely idea. It beats starving yourself anyway. If you must set yourself some goals for 2016 then at least make them realistic. Be honest with yourself.
Setting rules like no chocolate/alcohol/ spending money for four weeks rarely works. Instead why not try avoiding chocolate from Monday to Thursday? Knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel makes a massive psychological difference. Same goes for exercise. Think about what you enjoy. I tried a Zumba class once. Never again. I was awful. But plenty of people love it. And if you love something you are much more likely to stick with it. If you hate the idea of a gym then maybe long walks would work. Small changes can make a big difference. There are loads of great apps to help you achieve goals. Here at ng magazines we have all done the C25K. None of us could run at all let alone 5k. We all used the app , gradually building up at our own pace and it works! We can all now run 5k without stopping. So let’s enjoy these first few months of 2016. Let’s celebrate what we have! Let’s take small, realistic steps towards our goals. If we feel like a bar of chocolate then lets have one! Eat well, sleep lots, drink plenty of water, move more, be mindful of your surroundings, say one nice thing about yourself everyday and things suddenly don’t seem too bad. © Ali Wale

looking good, feeling great Nottingham is named as England’s official ‘Home of Sport’
Nottingham has been announced as England’s official Home of Sport, following a national campaign by tourism board VisitEngland, in a bid to find England’s top sporting destination. Having received more nominations than any other English destination, Nottingham was the ‘People’s Choice’ going into the public vote, and then went on to be a clear winner with 38% of the overall vote. James Berresford, VisitEngland’s Chief Executive, says: “Live sporting events are great drivers for tourism, worth £3.2 billion to the sector. With this accolade, Nottingham has been put firmly on the tourist trail as a must-visit destination for any sports fan. As the site of our glorious Ashes win this summer, the setting for the critically acclaimed I Believe in Miracles film and the home to the National Water Sports Centre, Nottingham offers visitors plenty to see and do.” Simon Starr, Director of Sport Nottinghamshire, said: “I am absolutely delighted that Nottingham has been recognised as England’s Home of Sport. We are blessed with fantastic and iconic facilities, great teams, great coaches and some amazing athletes but more than that, Nottingham is a city that lives and breathes its sport. The title is well deserved and I hope it will help to inspire even more people in Nottingham to lead healthy and active lives” Councillor Dave Trimble, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture, Nottingham City Council, said: “Nottingham is a very worthy winner of this accolade, being voted England’s Home of Sport 2015. Our city offers world-class sporting facilities and events for both local people and for visitors to the area. I’m particularly pleased that we were the ‘people’s choice’ as it shows how proud the people of Nottingham are of their city’s sporting achievements.”
