A Very Merry Christmas from your Neighbourhood Watch! The festive season is fast approaching and we all seem to be in such a rush to get everything ready for the big day! Wish such a lot to think about it is easy to get forgetful when it comes to home security and looking out for each other. Home security over the festive period Most thefts are opportunistic; those bags left in an unlocked car while dropping some others off indoors make a tempting an easy target for criminals and it takes them seconds to take off with your Christmas shopping, make sure you lock your car, even if you only plan to be away for a couple of minutes! Keep gifts and valuables away from windows and out of sight-do not make yourself a tempting target for crooks! Ensure your doors and windows are kept locked and if you go away over the festive period, timer switches are a great way of making your home less of a target.

10

Be wary of the distraction pickpocket, they often work in pairs, one will ask you for directions or something similarly whilst the other steals your wallet or mobile phone. Be a Good Neighbour Above all else, talk to each other; let your neighbours know when you are away so they can keep an eye on your home. Take note of anyone suspicious hanging around or the number plates any unfamiliar cars. Think of any Neighbour you know who is alone and vulnerable, offer them a mince pie and share the Christmas Spirit!

Christmas Offer: £25

(instead of £45)

(Expires 20th December 2013, limit 1 per person, may buy additional vouchers as a gift)

Treat your loved ones or yourself to a 1 hour Tui Na massage and secure your Christmas Voucher by ringing Daniela Harrison on 07503 015 530 or Email to tuina.daniela@aim.com. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

TUI NA—Therapeutic Massage Tui Na is not like an ordinary massage that you receive in a beauty salon, it is much more than that and it feels so much better. It is a therapeutic massage, based on Chinese medicine principles and the idea is to open up energy pathways, releasing tension and restoring the balance of the body. Tui Na is fairly new to the UK, but has been used in China for thousands of years. Nearly everybody who tries it loves it. It is relaxing and releases all the tensions built up in our daily lives, or used specifically for pains and aches. It can also play part in preventing illnesses and in anti-aging by strengthening the immune system and calming the mind. While keeping muscles supple, joints flexible and balancing the energies of the body, it also initiates the body’s own healing mechanisms'.

Tui Na is applied fully dressed and that’s why suitable for everybody, regardless their religion, sex, age or nationality. Daniela Harrison is one of the Tui Na practitioners in Nottingham, offering her services at the Grange Health Clinic (Sherwood) and the Bay Therapy Centre (West Bridgford). For further information or to book your appointment ring 07503 015530 or Email to tuina.daniela@aim.com.

Are you thriving... or surviving..?

Poor Self Esteem.. Lacking Self Belief.. Worn-out with Problems…….

Sometimes, problems come and go. If we have strong personal foundations, and are resourced enough, we are more likely to move on quickly. If we are lacking self-esteem or, we are dogged by unhappy experiences and limiting beliefs - perhaps from childhood experiences - we may not thrive as easily.

Inspector Annie Yates talks...

Hello, Now the nights are drawing in and we are experiencing the darkest evenings of the year it is important to take preventative steps to reduce the chance of becoming a victim of crime. These are simple precautions we can all take. Garages and sheds • Keep your garage door open ONLY for as long as is necessary. • Security mark ALL valuables stored in your shed and garage. • Large expensive equipment, like lawn mowers, should be fastened to something bulky. Alternatively, fit anchor posts attached to the floor to provide a fixed point for locking your belongings to. Vehicles • Don’t leave vehicle windows open while they are unattended. • When leaving your vehicle make sure there is nothing on show. • Lock ALL windows and doors, and activate an immobiliser. At home • Use strong locks on all external doors and easy to reach windows. • Don’t hang keys where they could easily be reached through a letterbox or window and never leave them on a sideboard where they are visible. • Keep valuable items away from windows where they could be seen by passers-by. • Close the curtains when it becomes dark to prevent people looking into your property. • Think about using timer switches so that your property is lit inside at various times especially with the darker nights. Yourself • Make sure when using cash points you keep your PIN secure at all times and be aware of others around you. • Be mindful of your surroundings when using your mobile phone. • Keep personal bags secured at all times. Please contact a member of the team to see if SMARTWATER is available to you. This is a product designed to deter thieves, and in the event of a theft, assist recovered property in being re united with its owners. You can also register on

Immobilise for free. To speak to our Pre Crime Unit about protecting your property and reducing your chances of becoming a victim of crime, call 101 ext. 800 3011 or email pre.crime@ nottinghamshire.pnn.police.uk Become part of your neighbourhood watch and work with the local residents association. If there isn’t one where you live, then contact us and we can help establish one with you. If you have any issues or see something suspicious we advise you to contact us on 101. Or if you want to remain anonymous you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Along with Community Protection and Neighbourhood Watch staff, we will hold an open public surgery at the contact point on Mansfield Road, Sherwood every Saturday between 12-2pm. Please come along to discuss any issues. We look forward to seeing you there. There is some really useful crime prevention advice on the Notts Police website:www.nottinghamshire. police.uk in the section entitled ‘ADVICE’. Please take time to visit the site and see the simple steps you can take to reduce the chance of becoming a victim of crime. All of our engagement events are also updated on the website, found under ‘Your area’ then ‘Sherwood’. If you would like to make face to face contact with an officer this is a great opportunity to have your say. The current team details can also be found here. I am really keen that we listen to concerns from our community and welcome contact with the team or myself. If you are unable to access the internet and would like any crime prevention material or details of engagement opportunities please make contact with us and we can arrange to get the details to you.

Dear Ellie has much to offer – if someone would simply give her the chance of a home. Sadly, she endured appalling conditions for the much of her young life: her former owner abandoned her and others without food or water for days. At three-years old, this Jack Russell terrier cross loves people and dogs – traits which precisely because of her dreadful start, show her loving nature. What Ellie most needs is a safe and settled home - could this be with you? A single side-effect of her former maltreatment, is her disliking being left alone. As Emma, a volunteer who knows Ellie well says: ‘She needs a patient owner to help change this; to prove it’s fine if she’s left, and her owner will always return.’ Separation is a common but resolvable issue, on which the charity can help. Emma continues: ‘If any dog deserves a happy new life, it’s Ellie. Her new owner would be hugely rewarded whilst changing Ellie’s life.’

Christmas Classics Snowy Christmas Log

This easy Christmas cake is based on a recipe from my friend Dena. It is easy and delicious. 40 ginger biscuits 600ml whipping cream 2 tbsp icing sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract sherry or orange juice decorations rectangular serving plate

Method

Whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla essence until it is just holding it’s shape. Dip each biscuit in either sherry, orange juice or the tipple of your choice! Just a quick dunk - you don’t want them soggy. Then spread with a teaspoon of cream and sandwich together. You want two rows of 20 biscuits. Then cover the whole lot with the rest of the cream. Use a fork to make the bark pattern then refrigerate overnight if possible. Before serving decorate as you please - I used silver balls and glitter sprinkles.

Granny Annies Trifle

small swiss roll - sliced sherry for soaking sponge 150g fresh raspberries 110g tin raspberries in juice 300ml whipping cream 2 tbsp custard powder 1 egg 1pt milk 1 tbsp sugar grated chocolate for decorating glass trifle bowl Method

Place sponge slices on bottom of bowl and pour sherry over. Put fresh raspberries on top along with tinned raspberries and 2 tbsp of juice from tin. To make custard whisk egg with custard powder and sugar in a bowl. Heat milk in a pan til warm but not boiling. Add custard powder mixture to pan and heat, stirring until it thickens. Allow to cool - sprinke top with caster sugar to prevent a skin forming. When cool spoon over fruit. Whip cream and spoon over custard. Decorate with grated chocolate.

Mince Pies

These are quick and easy - you could leave out the lard and use just butter or marg. 225g plain flour pinch of salt 50g lard 50g butter 410g jar mince meat splash of brandy (optional) icing sugar for decorating

Method

Heat oven to 200°C. Grease a tart baking tin. Add flour and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Cut the fat into small chunks and add to the processor. Pulse until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. Switch the processor to continuouslly on and a tbsp at a time add about 4tbsp ice cold water until you have a smooth dough. Roll out on a flat, floured surface. Using a 3” cutter make 12 x circles and place in the baking tin. Tip the mince meat into a bowl and mix in the brandy if using. Spoon into the pies. Using a 2.5” cutter make 12 x lids. Brush edges with milk and place on top of pies. Brush tops with milk and bake in oven for 20 mins or until golden brown. Dust with icing sugar. If you have any pastry left, repeat. Makes between 12 and 20 pies depending on how thin you roll your pastry and how big your tin is.

MUSICAL roundup

If you are involved in a choir, singing group or band then we would love to hear from you. Every month, space permitting, we will include the latest news, concert information and forthcoming events. You just need to email us at: info@ng5.org.uk by the first Friday of the month.

Grand Central Chorus

A Festive Feast of Harmony On Saturday 14th December, Grand Central Chorus host their Christmas show at May Hall, Trent College, Derby Road, Long Eaton at 7pm. They will be joined by top local women’s barbershop chorus, Gem Connection, who recently finished 4th in the UK Championships, as well as the Grand Dads Quartet plus flute duo, Jenny Gooding and Lydia Leaf. Go to: www.grandcentralchorus.com for full details or contact Bryan at: bckc50@ sky.com for tickets (£8 each). Follow Grand Central Chorus on Twitter @ GrandCentralMen If you would like Grand Central Chorus to sing at your event, contact Peter on 01530243822 or e-mail publicity.gcc@ gmail.com. They can provide a quartet, small chorus or full chorus of up to fifty singers as required. Fees are negotiable but quality is guaranteed. The chorus welcome potential new members to come along to any of their weekly rehearsals on Wednesday evenings at 7.15pm at Harrington School, Derby Road, Long Eaton, NG10 4BJ.

BESTWOOD MVC Following a very successful joint concert at the Royal Concert Hall on the 31 October with the Carlton Male Voice Choir, Newstead Brass Band and a combined School’s Choir, in aid of Nottingham Hospitals Charity, The Lewis Mighty Fund, Bestwood MVC are now rehearsing hard for a very busy pre-Christmas period. Wednesday 4 December at 2.30pm, Bestwood MVC are delighted to have been invited to return to Southwell Minster for the Age Concern Carol Service. Saturday 7 December, 7.30pm the choir performs at Kingswood Methodist Church for the Wollaton Rotary Club’s Carol Concert. Last but not least, to conclude the year’s engagements, Bestwood MVC joins Newstead Brass Band for the Gedling Borough Council’s Christmas Concert at St Paul’s Church, Daybrook on Saturday 14 December at 7.30pm. For more information about the above or to order tickets, please contact the website at www. bestwoodmvc.org.uk

Are you interested in singing? Do you want to free your voice and enjoy good company?

Alan Johnson singers are looking for new members-men and women- to join them. Alan Johnson teaches all choir members to bring out their individual voice using the ‘Bel Canto’ technique. All choir members have lessons with Alan and learn at an individual pace. Getting into singing as an adult is lovely. Singing is a stress buster, gets us breathing properly, helps to release endorphins-the body’s ‘happy chemicals’, helps the energy flow and gets those feelings out. Many people feel singing gives them a therapeutic experience. The more your singing technique improves, the more control you gain and confidence grows as result. Individual lessons with Alan helps to get you started and you’ll find that you will be able to develop your voice-it is like a sport, the more you put in the more you get out! We meet every Tuesday @ The Lakeside Arnold from 19.30-21.30. You are most welcome to make an informal visit. For further information about The Alan Johnson Singers and lessons, please contact Alan and Debbie Johnson Tel 0115 9200417 or Email ajsingers@btinternet. com

'The Alan Johnson singers are performing an Evening Concert at a Christmas Dinner at The Lakeside Restaurant Arnold Nottingham on Sunday 22 December. Please contact Lakeside 0115 9671444 to book a table.'
