Why Play G lf?

Golf is a unique all round sport which can be:

Played by people of all ages

Adaptable to fit your lifestyle

Played alone or in groups

There are very few other sports that can provide all of the above, so it is hardly surprising that there are an estimated 1.7 million regular golfers in Great Britain. What is golfing etiquette? The manners and customs in golf are known as etiquette. The idea behind etiquette is to give everyone a chance to play their best, compete fairly and have fun. Golf etiquette is a mixture of common sense and courtesy. Every golfer regardless of experience or level of play will be expected to abide by the same code of behaviour.

Can you play golf without joining a club?

THORPE WOOD GOLF COURSE, PETERBOROUGH PE3 6SE

You do not have to be a golf club member to play golf - due to changes

01733 267701

in society and lifestyle, golf club membership is no longer for everyone.

www.thorpewoodgolfcourse.co.uk

You can ‘pay and play’ and take lessons with no commitment.

I think golf is elitist and male dominated - is this true? It may have been in the past but not anymore. Peterborough Golf is open to everybody to come and try golf and see if you love it as much as we do. Golf is a stimulating challenge combined with getting out in the fresh air in pleasant surroundings. A round of golf is not only enjoyable, it is an excellent way of exercising, as an average 18 holes usually 2 involves walking between three to five miles.

The architect who won the contract was Berry Webber of London. They planned the building so that it could take an extra storey. Council offices in 1929 were located in Midgate, Broadway, Queen Street, Church Street, as well as in the Guildhall. The new Town Hall was officially opened by Alderman Isaac Whitsted on 16 October 1933 and the original council office buildings attached to the west side of the Guildhall since 1874 were demolished after World War II. The opening of the new Town Hall meant that all Council activities could be housed in the one building. The latter had not been the case for nearly 50 years. A further storey to the existing Town Hall was added about half a century after it opened. The interior carpentry was undertaken by Sage Ltd of Walton, Peterborough who specialised as cabinet makers but in World War 1 turned their hands to building pioneer aircraft. In fact, they were the first aircraft manufacturers to construct planes with enclosed cockpits.

THE ONE GROUP host 4th Annual Golf Day for Magpas

Ebooks on loan Readers in Peterborough can take advantage of a new age of technology with the launch of a free e-books lending service from the Library. From August, the free service will offer the books for download via the library’s website (www. vivacity-peterborough.com). The service will be on offer 24 hours a day from the comfort of your own home or office, or indeed even on the train journey to work.

On the 9 September, for the 4th year running, Cambridgeshire recruitment company THE ONE GROUP will be hosting their hugely successful corporate golf day on behalf of Magpas, who have been saving lives in Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire since 1971. Magpas Helimedix is the most utilised and dispatched Air Ambulance in the East of England. In 2010 Magpas attended over 950 trauma incidents in Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire, helping to save countless lives across the county. It currently costs £500,000 per year to provide this lifesaving service, all funded through public donations. Over the past three years THE ONE GROUP has raised over £5,000 for Magpas and this year have set an ambitious task to raise £5,000 from this year’s event alone! Kara Rigby krigby@theonegroup.co.uk

Users may browse the library’s website, check out with a valid library card, and download to PC, Mac®, and many mobile devices. Free software will need to be installed, including Adobe® Digital Editions. Titles can be enjoyed immediately or transferred to a variety of devices, including Sony® Reader™, and many others. Titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period which means there are no late fees. 400 titles are currently on offer, with a range of novels and non-fiction available for three week loans. Reservations can also be placed for items out to other readers. Library membership is free, and open to anyone who lives or works in the city or surrounding counties. To join simply bring along some ID which includes name and address. For more information, contact your local library or telephone Peterborough Libraries on 01733 864280.

FRAME YOUR EYES REVIEW When I was contacted by Rene’e Christopher owner of Frame Your Eyes to do a review for SemiPermanent Make-up, I had visions of harsh blocked in eyebrows and over the top eyeliner, but when Rene’e assured me it can actually look really natural and undetectable to the eye I was intrigued, so I went on her website to find out more. Obviously because of my brow obsession I opted for the Semipermanent Eyebrow Recreation: SemiPermanent Make-up (technically known as Micropigmentation) is a cutting edge beauty treatment which achieves flawless lasting colour and definition for eyebrows, lashes, lips or the eye line that will last between 1 and 3 years. When I met Rene’e I felt instantly at ease, she was welcoming and highly professional and her hygiene standards were impeccable. She talked me through the procedure as she applied

the numbing cream to my brow area and she showed me examples of her work and asked what style I would like to go for. I wanted it to look as natural as possible so I chose the brush stroke look. As the procedure involves tiny particles of natural and synthetic iron oxide colour pigments that are implanted 1mm below the skin’s surface using a sterile needle (similar to tattooing) I was expecting it to hurt, but I felt nothing, so its unbelievably painless. The whole procedure took just over an hour and I booked my touch up appointment for 4 weeks later. On the second day after the procedure my eyebrows started to flake slightly (totally unnoticeable) which was perfectly normal, during this time the pigmented area looked a little darker than I wanted but after my skin heals the colour will lighten by up to 30%. After my second top up the procedure will be complete, so this is a chance to

adjust any areas of the brow you may want more filled in or extended. When I saw my finished eyebrows I was really pleased – they looked so natural and perfected in shape. Overall I absolutely loved this treatment; my features feel enhanced and it helps to keep my brows looking there best 247. It’s totally waterproof and means less time getting ready in the morning. I will definitely be going back for my top up when it starts to fade! Experience rating 10/10 (yes that’s my first 10/10 score) Semi-permanent Eyebrow Recreation costs £350 including a second touch up and is available at Peterborough Thorpe Wood Esporta Email: info@frameyoureyes.co.uk Mobile: 07961 180949 Website: www.frameyoureyes.co.uk

PART 3 - STRENGTH & ENDURANCE So moving on from cardiovascular training and flexibility, we now move onto Muscular Strength and Endurance! Muscular strength is the ability of our muscles to exert a near maximal force to lift a resistance, translated this could be lifting either a weight in the gym or lifting an item at work or at home. Muscular endurance requires a less maximal force to be exerted, but for the muscle contraction to be maintained for a longer duration ‘lifting the item many times’.

About muscle We have approximately 650 muscles in our body, and they make up roughly half our bodyweight. They muscles can be divided into three different groups: skeletal, smooth and cardiac.

The long-term benefits of muscular strength and

Show Heroes your support at New Event

Their aim is to provide an environment that assists early identification of post-traumatic stress disorder and other problems that our heroes face on returning to front line operations.

Mike Taylor the founder of The Bridge for Heroes said “when I returned from active operations in Bosnia I would have liked this kind of support. I was stressed and felt alone. Then you get back home and everything just carries on and you don’t deal with the grief of losing friends and comrades. I have formed this charity, with friends, to help with this kind of thing. We get our beneficiaries together for group activities through our contact centres and respite holiday breaks.

Through these, our team are able to show open doors to help of all kinds - financial, emotional, and psychological. We have links with COMBAT STRESS, the SAMARITANS, SAFFA, RELIGIOUS Groups and various Forces Benevolent organisations.” The first festival takes place at Newark Showground’s on 22nd and 23rd October 2011. www.thefestivalofpride.co.uk

September inevitably means back to school or college and back to reality. The summer is now officially over and the work begins again, but there’s still a lot to look forward to – new challenges ahead, new opportunities and the chance to see friends that you haven’t seen over the summer months. If you haven’t already read the Immortals series, I really would recommend it. The series follows Ever, a teenage girl who has her life changed

Demi Lovato After her time in rehab last year, the Disney star is coming back with a bang. Instead of focusing on her acting career, she’s decided to focus on her music, previously stating that “music has always been a huge part of my life and has helped me through some tough times”. She’s certainly had some tough times, struggling with bipolar disorder and eating disorders, but her recent single ‘Skyscraper’ is proof that she’s now stronger than ever and won’t let anything stop her from succeeding. Her album, ‘Unbroken’, due to be released soon, promises interesting collaborations and there are rumours that she has been

The Maldives are a wonderful collection of desert island gems, spread over 90,000km2 of the Indian Ocean. Each island is flat and ringed by a continuous, palm fringed beach of white sand, lapped by crystal clear waters which stretch to the horizon and surrounded by reefs which teem with marine life. The essence of a holiday in The Maldives is one of luxuriating on a glorious beach, living by the rhythms of nature and allowing the caress of the breeze to recharge the soul.

Enjoy shopping in one of the many excellent shopping malls or craft markets, feast in superb restaurants, dive with great white sharks, explore a great coastline, travel by cable car to the top of Table Mountain, laze on beautiful beaches, swim with penguins and visit Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated.
