So our best advice is to seize the moment!

Really Rajah Good!! In the current economic climate you need to be doing plenty right in order to stay in business. Rajah resaurant and takeaway on Mansﬁeld Road, Sherwood was established in 1979 and is still going strong which says a lot about the quality and service they provide. The restaurant seats just over 50 and is open every day from 6pm until 11pm. We decided to have a takeaway and watch the football instead. The menu (left) is comprehensive and contains all the usual favourites. Best sellers are tikka masala and chicken balti. I decided to give one of their specialities a go - the chicken shahjani, a medium creamy curry that included nuts and dried fruit. It was

absolutely delicious. Really unusual and something different. The owner, Mr Ali, explained that they only use the best quality ingredients and the spice mixes they use are specially designed and ground for them. If you decide to eat in I would recommend the chom chom as a starter...really, really delicious. I won’t give you the ingredients. Just try it and you won’t be dissapointed! Rajah can be found at 575a Mansﬁeld Road, Sherwood. Their number is 0115 962 2410.

Grab a Kebab!

Kebabs are easy to prepare, quick to cook and healthy. You can cook them over a bbq, under a grill or using a grill pan on the stove. Skewers can be wooden or metal. Wooden ones need a good soak in water first. Metal skewers can be re-used and also conduct heat, helping to cook meat through.

Spicy Chicken Kebabs

Seafood Kebabs

190g uncooked king prawns 200g scallops - (king are better but I could only get queen) 1 fillet of white fish like monkfish 6 rashers of streaky bacon marinade 2 cloves garlic - finely chopped pinch of chilli powder 2 tbsp olive oil juice of half lemon

450g chicken breast 2 red onions cherry tomatoes marinade 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp red wine vinegar juice of half a lime pinch chilli powder or flakes 2 cloves garlic finely chopped

Cut chicken into chunks. Mix marinade and add to chicken. Cover and leave overnight. Thread chicken, red onion and tomatoes Cut the fillet of white fish and add onto skewers and cook until chicken is cooked through. Make along with the rest of the fish to a bowl. Mix the marinade and add to sure it is thoroughly cooked. the fish. Stir to coat and leave for Halloumi and Veg Kebabs at least an hour. Cut each rasher 200g halloumi cheese Cut the cheese, courgettes, of bacon into 3 strips and use it to 1 or 2 courgettes red onion and yellow pepper wrap around the scallops. Thread 2 red onions into bite size chunks and place the fish onto skewers and bbq cherry tomatoes in a bowl with the tomatoes. until all the fish is cooked through. 2 yellow peppers Mix the marinade ingredients Lovely with couscous. marinade and add to the vegetables. Mix really well and leave for 2 tbsp olive oil as long as possible. Over juice of 1/2 lemon night is good. Thread the veg 1 tsp dried oregano and cheese onto skewers and grill until browned & the veg are cooked.

Fruit Kebabs

pineapple bananas x2 1 x ripe mango strawberries marinade 2 tbsp honey 1 tbsp brown sugar juice of half a lime

Prepare the fruit into bite size chunks and thread onto skewers. If you are cooking on an outdoor bbq it might be an idea to lay the fruit on foil. I used a grill pan and melted some butter on it first. Place the kebabs on the heat and brush with the marinade. Turn and cook until the fruit starts to go brown and caramelise. This should only be a few minutes. Delicious served with ice cream, creme fraiche or chocolate sauce.

Welcome back ladies,

I hope that you have had the chance to enjoy the few hot days that we have had so far this Summer....(you have to be quick don’t you?) The sun came out and I had an absolute mad rush in the Boutique. I think everyone realized when the temperature went up that they hadn’t even thought about their summer wardrobe. But as a lady pointed out to me yesterday...We have to be really quite careful when buying our Summer wardrobe as Summer really doesn’t seem to last very long but when winter arrives we know we are going to get PLENTY of wear from our purchases. Well, I have decided in my head (and I am going with it)...that summer hasn’t even started yet and it is going to be a beautiful, long hot summer! Buying for me in May and early June has just been a delight with every colour out there that you can possibly imagine, colours to suit absolutely everyone and of course lots and lots of white... White linen, white denim, white cotton. As with every summer there is a HUGE amount of linen in the shops and as we all know, linen is like Marmite - something that you either LOVE or Hate. I don’t think there is any inbetween,you either think it is cool and comfy and really don’t mind if it is all creased or you are forever ironing it and it drives you crazy. Anyone that knows me knows that I like the worn in look with linen and I personally don’t iron it. Having said that I don’t iron anything if I can help it. Ooh..... That reminds me to tell you about this fabulous little hand held steamer that I have discovered, it is brilliant and I believe every home should have one. It makes life so much easier when it comes to those really hard to iron; ruffled, pleated or very delicate materials that somehow manage to look worse after you have ironed them than before!

For the ladies that have never owned a steamer please go find one and buy it. The one I bought was from Morplan and cost £29.99 (pictured above). You will thank me for it! Also it is great to steam your face....what more does a lady want: something to make your clothes and your face look beautiful....sorted! Lets talk Accessories: Belts are a must this summer. Tiny slim belts, jewelled belts, thick chunky belts, any belt. So if you have a fabulous tiny waist pull the belt in tight and show it off and if your waist is not quite as you would like it you can still wear a great belt just don’t pull it so tight. Accentuate whatever it is about your body that you love...great legs get them out, great décolletage show it off, great shoulders show them off. Everyone has a favourite part of their body as I wrote in the last column: find it and accentuate it. Vintage jewellery is also a must this summer. If you have had a chance to look at any of the fashion mags, brightly coloured vintage jewels are the thing to be wearing. If colour scares you a little make your outfit all one colour and add a bright fabulous necklace and bracelet..... Wow that outfit up! Remember ladies, experiment, have fun but most of all enjoy!! I am always on hand at the shop, pop along by all means. Penny X Boutique 11, 0115 960 2006

OK. Here’s the good news. Summer’s here. It maybe doesn’t look like it at times, but there are deﬁnite rays of sunshine in Mapperley. One of them is the continuing fall in crime in the area, which is always very welcome. However, the summer can sometimes play havoc with the ﬁgures. That’s because the warm weather means we open the windows and doors and spend a little more time outside. And that spells opportunity to a burglar. It may seem to go against our instincts when the temperature is rising outside, but keeping windows and doors secure is always important. If you are soaking up the sun in the back garden, is the front door locked and are the front windows closed? If you have dug out the paddling pool from the shed, have you closed and locked the door before turning your attention to the hosepipe? Please don’t let the warm, hazy feeling of summer cloud your judgement about home security. You’re probably looking forward to your holiday too. Again, home and vehicle security are vital for your check list alongside the swimsuits and suntan lotion. You can always inform your local beat team of the dates of your holiday, that way the team can keep an eye on your home during their patrols while you’re away. Cars are heating up too and we have had a small number of thefts from vehicles. It may be tempting to leave the window slightly open while it is parked, but that is just another opportunity for a thief to exploit. Always remove items of value from your car to minimise the temptation. As always, please continue to report any incidents of note. If we don’t know about it, we can’t do anything about it. We will always respond to your calls, however trivial you may feel that they are. It often builds a bigger picture and allows the police to place our resources into the correct areas. You can telephone us on the numbers on the left hand side of the page or on the general number 101.

Rotary Showcase

Saturday 14th July 2012

What is the Rotary Showcase? This fun packed event is being organised to raise the profile of Rotary in your area by local clubs.

What is Rotary? Rotary members are enthusiastic, fun-loving and active volunteers who give their time and talents to serve communities both at home and overseas. These are dedicated people, men and women from business and professions, who share a common interest in helping others.

The Grand Central Chorus, singing ‘I’ll Be Seeing You’ and ‘South Rampart Street Parade’ took the winner’s medal at The Barbershop Singers National Championships in Southport on the 27th May. ‘It was fabulous’ said Bryan Smith from Long Eaton, ‘I only joined seven months ago and here I am with a gold medal – terrific.’ The Long Eaton based chorus won the gold medal for the fifth time in their 21 year career. ‘I felt we were in with a chance’ said Chorus Director John Grant who was the Director when the Chorus was formed and returned 18 months ago to the role. ‘We came third last year and I knew we’d improved but, so might the other Choruses’. John Archer a long standing member of the Bass section and resident of Hucknall, said, ‘It was nerve wracking, third place was announced, not us, then second, not us, then the brief wait for first place is awful, gold or nothing, happily it was gold. The chorus were ecstatic. 2003 was the last time we won Gold and many of the guys on the risers were there then.’ The British Association of Barbershop Singers holds a National Convention annually. This was the 38th and forty choruses were taking part. Each Chorus is marked on their choice of music, presentation and quality of the singing. Grand Central achieved 79.1%. Anyone wishing to sing Barbershop or seeking an entertainment for an event can find out more on the website www. grandcentralchorus.com or ring Martin on 07855270803. The Chorus rehearse every Wednesday evening at Harrington School, Derby Road, Long Eaton NG10 4BJ. Come along and see what you think they are always on the lookout for new recruits..

Where will it be held? The Rotary showcase will be held on Saturday 14th July 2012 In The Market Square Nottingham between 10:30am and 4:00pm

Live entertainment for the whole family and interviews presented by local radio. Come and visit our information stalls. Learn about the various aspects of Rotary including membership. Find out where your nearest club is. Taste food prepared by the Rotary Young Chef of the year. For further information contact David Pedlar at d.pedlar@ntlworld.com

St Anns Allotments Nottingham

Local WI Delegates helped fill to the rafters The Royal Albert Hall in London at their annual AGM. And, just like every WI and every WI meeting there was something for everybody: from voting on the resolution calling upon the government to increase and retain midwives, to the amusing talk from Lord Julian Fellowes on his inspiration for his Downtown characters, to the fantastic dancing of Christina Rhianoff and her partner from Strictly Come Dancing. As the National Chair, Ruth Bond said in her address, “The WI means something to every member; and you know, if we just stop to think, it is what we make of it and it is up to us to make it everything we want it to be but, above all- it is there for you – to dip into once a month or to become immersed in some aspects of all that is on offer. But however you might view your individual membership, I do assure you that your WI needs you! Your membership matters. And never think otherwise.”

Time to get out and enjoy the warm weather - why not visit your local heritage gardens? Sunday Community Orchard activity days on 15th July and 19th August, 11am - 4pm, with heritage tours leaving at noon. Plus more tours on the last Wednesday of every month at 1.30pm. Booking is essential. The entrance to the Community Orchard is opposite the Hill View Community Centre, on Ransom Road, about 200 yards up from the junction with Hungerhill Road (see the yellow sign at the gate). Postcode; NG3 3LJ

The WI has had an amazing year. Since the last AGM 19,834 new members have joined and 145 new WIs formed. For those wishing to join this throng could do well to look at the WI website www.thewi.org.uk, enter their postcode to find WIs close by. So come on in and give the WI a try.

RAC Urges Government to Splash Cash on Drug Driving Ads A poll by the RAC has found that 61% of motorists believe the roads are not manned by enough police officers. Regardless of whether this concern is real or just perceived, it’s probably not going to be a problem that will be resolved any time soon. What with police force numbers being hacked in to such an extent that first Truckpol was forced to close and possibly now AVCIS will go the same way, the likelihood of more plods on patrols is remote. This might cause a few issues when the remaining officers are handed drugalysers for roadside testing. The same poll found that the number of 17 to 24-year-olds taking drugs and then driving has nearly doubled from 5% to 9% in the last 12 months, and 12% had driven or been a passenger when the person driving had taken drugs. That’s potentially a lot of people for the police to target. But it’s not just the yoof that are giving us all cause to worry; the RAC also says there has been a 50% rise in the number of 25 to 44-year-olds logging on to the internet, tweeting, facebooking and emailing while they drive. Just over a fifth told the motoring organisation that they feel safe on the roads and 44% feel less safe than they ever have, although it’s unclear whether they were given the figures above before being asked. Education and safety campaigns is the RAC’s answer, and it urges the government to invest more money into them as soon as possible. Countless ad campaigns around the dangers of drink driving have made the practice unacceptable to most and the organisation says the same must now be done with drugs. Rothera Dowson specialise in motorist defence and dealing with offences, including drinkdriving, so if you’ve been charged with an unexpected driving offence, our experts can provide the right advice to help you deal with it. For more information about road traffic offences please contact Anton Balkitis at Rothera Dowson Solicitors Nottingham on 0115 9100 600.

Seasonal redundancies can catch workers off guard As the summer season draws to a close many businesses are facing the bleak decision of making redundancies in what will be the lead up to Christmas. Angela Shaw, employment solicitor at Massers Solicitors in Nottingham, is advising workers of the need to understand their rights when an employer starts a redundancy procedure and also for employers to understand their obligations. In my experience there tends to be a rise in redundancies at this time of year and businesses are continuing to look at options for cost cutting and rationalisation. The economic downturn has made redundancy more commonplace but many businesses are still unaware of their obligations during the redundancy process. There must be a genuine reason for the redundancy and a thorough consultation for the purposes of involving all affected employees. The consultation should address why there is a

risk of a redundancy and what could be done to avoid it, for instance, whether there is a suitable alternative position that could be offered even if it is on a fixed trial basis. Where an employer decides that there is a case for redundancy, there will be a right of appeal against that decision. If the decision is upheld, there may be grounds to pursue a complaint of unfair dismissal at an Employment Tribunal in addition to any other relevant claim. An employee who is made redundant could be eligible for a statutory redundancy payment or there may even be a provision for an enhanced payment. In some circumstances, an employee may be asked to enter into a Compromise Agreement. This is a confidential document whereby the employee will forfeit employment rights in return for an ex gratia payment. It will be necessary to seek independent legal advice about the document for which an employer will usually make a contribution towards the costs of that advice.

They are places where people are welcome whenever they need us – from initial diagnosis or undergoing treatment, to post-treatment, recurrence, end of life or in bereavement. We also welcome family and friends, as they can also be deeply affected by cancer. Every Maggie’s Centre has a kitchen table. A safe place where people can sit and gather their thoughts over a cup of tea, chat to others going through similar experiences or speak to someone who can answer any questions they may have.

Many visitors take advantage of the professional advice on offer from our Cancer Support Specialist or our Benefits Adviser. A varied programme of activities is open to anybody affected by cancer, from yoga, Tai Chi and relaxation, to nutrition courses and hair loss workshops.

The Lazy Gardener.... talks rot!!

Soil, especially in raised beds, benefits from being enriched with compost. It contains essential nutrients to help the plants grow. Whilst you can buy ready made compost - making it yourself is cheap and very eco-friendly by reducing the amount of household waste going to landfil. Even the smallest garden can compost. There are loads of different options for composting - however if you have a small garden like mine you are more limited. A great idea is a wormery. Worms eat lots of kitchen waste like used tea bags, vegetable peelings, stale bread and crushed egg shells. They also like shredded paper and small amounts of garden waste. The worms then convert

worms and microbes to do their magic. Although these plastic bins are not very attractive to look at you can screen them using evergreen plants, trellis with a climber growing up it or a willow or bamboo screen. During the spring and summer months we have loads of grass cuttings which are great for the compost bin, however to produce good compost layer with other waste. Grass can compact and fail to rot down if it is piled together in a big heap.

the waste into a rich fertilizer. A basic wormery costs around ÂŁ60. A ready made composting bin is another option. These are good value, starting at around ÂŁ16, and easy to use. You add garden waste, shredded paper, vegetable peelings etc. through the top and after a few months you can remove the compost via a door at the bottom. There are products available to add to the composter to accelerate the process but left to its on devices nature will take its course. Always remember to place the bin onto bare earth to encourage the

Leaf mould is also great for the garden. A cheap and easy way to cultivate it is to collect the fallen leaves in Autumn in black bin liners. Once almost full, add a small amount of water, tie up and shake. Then pierce a few holes in the bottom and sides of the bag and put away somewhere (ours are behind the garden shed). After a year or two you should have a good quality leaf mould. Most local authorities have composting schemes. The best thing to do is check out their websites or go to www. getcomposting.com. This website works in partnership with local councils. You simply type in your postcode and you get a list of products available in your area at reduced rates. ÂŠ Ali Wale

William Windley William was born on the 23rd February 1822, the son of Jane and Thomas Windley. His father was a dyer and silk merchant who had interests around the country with his main base in Nottingham on Finkhill Street. William followed his father into the family business and married Elizabeth, daughter of Rev John Wilson of Westmoreland in 1849. They had a son, John William, born in June 1852. In 1853 William moved his family to a new house, Fernleigh, which he had built. The land cost him £767 and the house was designed by the local Nottingham architect T.C Hine. The house was in an area that was later to be called Alexandra Park; number 384 on the new Woodborough Road. William had a daughter, Jane, born in 1855 and son, William, born in 1860. Unfortunately this last birth was difficult and Elizabeth died as a result of the birth. In 1862 William met and married Frances, daughter of Edward Crosland, who was a wine and spirits merchant. The same year William’s father died and he inherited the business and a considerable fortune. William and Elizabeth had three children; Edward Crosland Windley in 1864, Frank in 1865 and H.T Chadwick Windley in 1870. William was a great supporter of church building for the rapidly expanding population of Nottingham. The buildings of All Saints Church were erected in 1864. These included the church building, school, headmaster’s house and vicarage. They were built and paid for by a sole benefactor, William Windley, who provided the £13000 required for the project. The Architect was T.C Hine of Nottingham and the church and many of the other buildings are now Grade II listed. The school was renamed the Windley School in his honour. Windley was also one of the principal promoters of the building of St. Jude's Church in Mapperley. In 1869 tragedy struck the family as William’s

by Bob Massey

mother drowned herself in the river, unable to live with her husband’s death. Inheriting the remainder of his fathers money, William was now a very wealthy man but also a very generous one. He donated money to many charities and relief funds including the Indian Famine Relief fund in 1861 and the Robin Hood Rifles Battalion Fund and the General Hospital.

Fernleigh William was a shareholder in the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Banking Company. He was also a trustee of the Nottingham Dispensary and the Nottingham Church Cemetery Company and Chairman of the Church of England Association and Sunday School Institute. In 1865 William was made a Justice of the Peace and regularly served on the bench. He also found himself on the other side of the court when he was the main witness in a robbery trial in the same year. William was a great gardener and had many hot houses and green houses in which he raised exotic plants. He continued to live at Fernleigh for the rest of his life. He died there on the 22nd July 1877 after a short illness of only 3 days and was buried in the St Marys Church cemetery after a large very well attended funeral. His old home Fernleigh passed through many hands and is now the Nottinghamshire Hospice.

I am researching history of Mapperley and would like to hear from anyone with memories or photographs of the area or the people involved. Email bob.m.massey@gmail.com or post via NG magazines.

Business Spotlight.... B & M Heating Your name: Brian Smith How did you first get into your line of work? I started straight from school 34 years ago. How did you get to where you are now? I Started at Boot & Perkins In Daybrook in 1978 doing plumbing & heating until 1988 when I went to CFM gas services in Sherwood doing gas fitting as well. Then 4 years ago I was made redundant when CFM folded & I started B & M Heating, which I am very proud of. I consider I give a quality service at a reasonable price & with 34 years in the business have the experience to go with it. How have you found advertising in ng magazines? I started advertising in ng magazines when I first started B & M Heating because it is a local magazine to me & I get on average at least 3 or 4 calls a month from new customers. I have tried local free papers but nothing has worked as well as ng, which proves to me that people read it & save it for future reference. What did you want to be when you were growing up & would you still like to be that now? When I was at school I always fancied being a chef ( this was before it became popular),would I like to do it now ? No I think I’d sooner let someone else do it & I’ll just enjoy eating. What’s your signature dish and what’s the recipe? That’s one for the kids to answer, when they we’re little & mum went out, we’d have our chick feast: Chicken dippers, chicken nuggets & chicken kievs made two happy kids, needless to say mum didn’t go out very often.... What 3 things would you like to do if you had the time and money? Things are difficult, but given the time and money it would have to be travelling around New Zealand & Canada with my wife Tracey and, as anyone who knows me will verify, I’d have to have my mountain bike with me for a bit of extra excitement!

Paint your home for FREE Gedling residents thinking about a spot of decorating are being offered the chance to paint their homes for free thanks to a paint reuse scheme, which is underway now until October.

Mapperley Park Open Gardens Sunday 15th July 1.30pm - 5.30pm An exciting selection of gardens will be opening for Charity on Sunday 15th July from 1.30-5.30. The fourteen gardens range from a Mediterranean style courtyard to formal Edwardian to contemporary. It is always a hugely popular event giving you the chance to see some landscape design with real imaginative flair tackling the hilly geography of Mapperley Park. There are several new gardens this year too.

The monthly events at Calverton Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) provide local community and voluntary groups with free reusable paint donated by the public for the Community RePaint initiative. Over 366 million litres of paint are sold each year, of which 55 million are unused, stored or just thrown away. And rather than surplus paint going down the drain or in to local landfill which are both harmful to the environment, the HWRCs at Calverton take in the paint for reuse. All sorts of paint are available for walls, wood, metal, masonry, etc. The event is open to members of the public from 5.00pm-7.00pm on the following dates: • Thursday 26 July 2012 • Thursday 30 August 2012 • Thursday 27 September 2012 • Thursday 25 October 2012. Residents who would like to pick up some free paint from Calverton need to call 0115 850 5900 to book a time slot. They then simply turn up during their allocated time to choose their paint. Tins of paint are restricted to Nottinghamshire residents only. More information on the scheme can be found at: http://www3.nottinghamshire. g o v. u k / l i v i n g / w a s t e / h w r c / t i p locations/?entryid50=78465

You will be able to enjoy tea, cakes and refreshments and Pimms, champagne, strawberries and cream. Stands will be selling plants and crafts and there will be a raffle and activities for children. The event will be supporting two local charities and one international. Double Impact supports rehabilitation from alcohol and drug dependency. The Nottinghamshire Hospice “adds life to days” for people who have been told they cannot be cured. Sister Freda’s Clinic provides medical care to impoverished areas in Kitale, Kenya. A report on takings and the receipts of each charity will be published in the autumn Mapperley Park News. Look out for the free guide which will be available on the day and widely distributed beforehand. Entry is £4.00 per adult and children go free, enter at any of the houses displaying a St George’s flag. Please be aware that Mapperley Park is a hilly area and many gardens have steps but some gardens do have wheelchair access. Come along rain or shine and support us, it’s a great afternoon out only once every two years!
