Imagine . . . your own home cinema ! If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re passionate about films and have the space (loft conversion could be an option) and budget to afford your very own cinema room, then read on...

The fabric of the cinema system has been tastefully integrated without compromising the performance of the sound or picture. The main front speakers are concealed within a reinforced stud wall behind an acoustically transparent projector screen.

The concept of home cinema has been available in the consumer market since the early 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. During this time, the desire to integrate technology within the fabric of the home has increased, with the help of advancements in technology.

The inclusion of four in-ceiling mounted speakers enable the cinema system to meet the acoustic standards set by Dolby Laboratories for a Dolby Atmos enabled surround sound system. The system features a total of eleven speakers, providing an immersive experience, whatever your movie preference.

One advocate of home technology has recently commissioned Home Media to design and install a dedicated cinema within the first phase of renovation to a Kent based family home. The purpose made room features a number of home comforts such as remote operated windows with integral rain sensors. A colour change lighting system provides the owners with the ability to alter the mood of the room from the comfort of the sumptuous power reclining cinema seating.

The owners of this cinema are so delighted with the outcome of this cinema room, they have kindly offered potential Home Media customers to experience the system for themselves. If you have a genuine enquiry, then please contact a member of our team now.

Don’t forget charities when you review your Will Charitable giving is often done on an ad hoc basis and can be overlooked as part of estate planning. But it can help to reduce tax liabilities both during your lifetime and afterwards and could make a real difference to a small local charity, providing a lasting legacy in your name. It is essential to keep on top of your financial affairs and to keep them up to date and as funding sources become harder to find, being able to help local charities may ensure their good work continues for years to come. You should review your Will every five years, or on events such as: • The birth or adoption of a child or grandchild. • The death or your spouse, beneficiary, executor or child’s guardian. • Marriage or divorce of yourself of your beneficiaries. • A substantial increase or decrease in the value of your estate. • The formation, purchase or sale of a business. • The purchase of property. • Retirement. • Changes to tax allowances. Reviewing your Will regularly enables you to: • Protect your family by making provisions to meet their future financial needs. • Minimise tax liability. • Provide trusted guardians for your dependent children. • Establish trusts to defer the inheritance of particular beneficiaries. • Include gifts for charities. Currently where a person leaves at least 10% of the value of their net estate to a registered charity, a reduced rate of inheritance tax (IHT) of 36% (as opposed to 40%) will apply to the rest of their estate. This reduced rate is applied following the deduction of any exemptions, reliefs and the availability of the nil-rate band. For example, if the donor leaves an estate of £425,000, then the £100,000 taxable part of the estate (over

the current nil rate band of £325,00 and £650,000 for a couple) would be taxed at 40%. If they make a charitable donation of £10,000, the remaining £90,000 would be taxed at 36%. From 6 April 2017 there will be changes phased in which have been designed to reform IHT and which will eventually provide a new main residence tax free band of £1 million. In order to qualify for the new inheritance tax allowance, a couple will need to be married or in a civil partnership and leave their entire estate to each other. They will qualify for 2 x £325,000 nil rate bands and by 2020/21, 2 x £175,00 main residence bands. These changes to residential property do not change or affect the IHT relief which applies to property owned by a business and from which many farmers and landowners have benefited over the years, to enable the successful continuation of the business. It is worth noting that where it is a business or agricultural property, it may be appropriate to leave it to someone other than your spouse, as the benefit of other special reliefs may be lost. When is the best time to make a donation to charity, in your Will or during your lieftime? The answer is really down to the individual and their position at that point in time. You can make substantial gifts out of your taxable estate into trust now, during your lifetime and as a trustee retain control over the distribution and/or use of the assets. Also: • If you won’t be using the new main residence tax free band, then you can continue to leave 10% of your estate over the nil rate band of £325,000 to charity, to qualify for the lower tax rate of £36%. • You can make regular donations during your lifetime and if you are paying tax at the higher rate, claim tax relief. •If you run a limited company, you can make donations out of gross profits and claim corporation tax relief.

Blooming marvellous way to raise funds for children’s charities

Nurserymen and women from The Plant Fair Roadshow plan to raise funds to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Banardo’s and the 30th anniversary of NSPCC's Childline this year with a specialist plant fair at Knowle Hill Farm in Ulcombe near Maidstone. The event on Sunday 11th September will see nurserymen and women from the South East of England, and in particular Kent, showcase a wonderful selection of herbaceous plants, perennials, shrubs, bulbs and alpines. Specialists such as Rose Cottage Plants, Usual And Unusual Plants, Swallowfields, Copton Ash, Pineview Plants, Sussex Fruit Trees, Little Omendon, Invicta Herbs and the Kent Group of the Hardy Plant Society will be among the exhibitors and sellers on the day. Quentin Stark, AKA The Plant Doctor, will also be on hand to give guidance and advice. The Plant Fairs Roadshow is an association of independent specialist nurseries. Organiser of the Ulscombe event, Colin Moat says: “there’s much to see at Knowle Hill Farm itself - it’s an enviable location, situated 400 feet up on the north downs with spectacular views south over the Kentish Weald. It’s the perfect location to host a Plant Fair Roadshow and we are particularly pleased to be doing it in aid of Banardo’s and Childline - both of whom have important anniversaries this year.” Knowle Hill Farm’s garden is rich in plants all year round with with hedges, topiary and shrub borders delineating the different levels and creating distinct enclosures. There is also a meadow area of wild flowers and an impressive driveway planted with ribbons of different plants. The plant fair will be held on Sunday 11th September from 11am - 4pm. Entry is £5 and there is plenty of parking onsite. Knowle Hill Farm, Ulcombe, Maidstone, Kent, ME17 1ES inandaround
