INSIDE... You’ll have noticed last month, tucked up inside its elder sibling, a smaller, though still as mighty in substance albeit lighter publication, our newest bestie; The Little Guide 2… Throughout the year we’ll be bringing you various Little Guide 2’s of the varying agendas of our day to day lives.

Isn’t it gorgeous out there at the moment? Fields and meadows awash in bright green wherever the eye wanders. June continues to flourish with events blooming and blossoming left, right and centre. Quite literally. Commemorations and celebrations are many in ode to the sealing of the Magna Carta, 800 years ago in Runneymede. As per the usual frivolities we like to bestow upon you, The Guide 2 Your Month serves as your social calendar. Go forth reader, explore what our wonderful towns, villages and their people have to offer in ways of food, drink and oodles of the cultural stuff we know you love. Anyway, on with the show and a certain kind of magic comes to Camberley Theatre in the legendary forms of Paul Daniels and his omnipresent sidekick and soul mate Debbie McGee. Be entertained. Be very entertained. The Camberley Market Street Festival comes to town in honour of all the best bits the good folk of Camberley and its neighbouring communities have to offer. And our resident foodie Rich Lee (in addition to eating his way through the month), explores everything but the porridge at The Clink Restaurant based at HMP Highdown and HMP Send. Fascinating stuff. Enjoy. Explore. Mr D’Arcy

This month we look to the summer holidays with the small and not so smaller ones of your tribe. So pencils and diaries at the ready, let’s pen some plans!

Your Community News RUGBY PLAYERS CONQUER NORTH POLE FOR FLEET CHARITY WOODEN SPOON

hey faced a 60 mile trek through arctic winds and temperatures of minus 30C, but for former international rugby stars Tim Stimpson and Ollie Phillips reaching the Magnetic North Pole ended in victory and a new world record. Stimpson, Phillips and a team made up of members of Wooden Spoon, the children’s rugby charity, took on the challenge to raise £300,000 for disadvantaged and disabled children across the UK and Ireland. The teams faced treacherous conditions during the trek. Arriving at the Magnetic North Pole exhausted, the group had the small task of setting up a rugby pitch on the Arctic ice. As required by Guinness World Records, posts were erected and the perimeter of the pitch was measured and marked all to World Rugby regulations. Tim’s Stimpson’s team came out on top of a closely contested 17-14 victory. Stimpson said; “We’re pleased with the win. Having played a lot of rugby up in Newcastle I’ve played in some chilly conditions but this was another level all together.” Ex England 7’s captain, and Captain of #teamollie, Ollie Phillips commented; “I can’t quite believe that we’ve done it, it’s an amazing feeling. The Arctic is an incredible yet dangerous place and

we needed to be on the top of our game to make sure we didn’t make any mistakes during the trek as one lapse in concentration could have been catastrophic.” Following the successful completion of the Arctic Rugby Challenge, Wooden Spoon is asking the public to support the challengers in their continued efforts to raise £300,000. To donate, text code ARCT01 for £2, £5 or £10 to 70070 or donate online at arcticrugbychallenge.org.

FUNDRAISING BEGINS FOR 200 MILE CANOE CHALLENGE FOR FRIMLEY PARK HOSPITAL

n Monday the 6th of July, friends Stuart Dodwell and Tim Smith will be hitting the water for a canoeing challenge to raise funds for the Macmillan Nurses based at Frimley Park Hospital G1 Haematology day unit. Together they’ll be canoeing from Cricklade North Wiltshire all the way down the River Thames and finishing in Gravesend in Kent on Saturday the 11th of July, a distance of approximately 200 miles. Having raised over £25,000 over the last five years through similar sponsored tours, the pair hope to raise £4,000 for the hospital this year. “We will take with us an A board so people who have lost friends or relatives to, or who are suffering from or survivors of cancer, can write their names on the board so we do the tour for them,” says Stuart. They have dubbed their trip 'The For Tour' in dedication to the names they will carry with them. The pair have arranged three fundraising events to raise awareness beginning at the Heron on the Lake in Fleet on 27th June. Starting around 12 noon Stuart will canoe around the lake with the A board and collection buckets on the deck, followed by music in the evening and a raffle and

auction with prizes including two training flights at Blackbushe Airport and a round of golf at Pennyhill Park. There will be a quiz and raffle on 2nd July at the Plough & Horses, Farnborough and an End of Tour celebration at the same pub on 11th July.

Our Citizens...

AFTER THE ELECTIONS A few weeks have passed since May’s explosive General Election but up and down the country the dust has yet to settle. As commentators still vigorously debate an election that installed the first Conservative ma jority government since 1992, humiliated Labour and all but wiped out the Liberal Democrats, we asked you for your take…

EWAN

LIZZIE

Did you vote in this election?

Yes, I’ve always voted. It’s important that we use our vote, because it can make a difference. People have fought and died for the right to vote in this country.

Yes, I’m 22 so it was the first time I was able to vote. I voted for the Green Party, because their policies matched up with what I believed in the most. I would have perhaps considered voting for Labour but I thought it better to vote for the Greens and for what I believe in.

Senior Business Lecturer

Who did you vote for? I voted Green and have done for the last three elections. I live on a farm, that’s probably why I voted Green; their policies on the countryside and climate change are acceptable to my needs. Nothing David Cameron offers appeals to me, and Ed Milliband was just a muppet that shouldn’t have been allowed anywhere near the leadership.

What were you most disappointed about in this election? It was the fact that 1.5million people voted SNP into 56 seats in Scotland and 1million voted Green and they got one seat. So I think the sooner we get to proportional representation the better. That and the fact that we have 4million or so people in this country that would vote for UKIP.

Public Relations

What were your feelings on 8th May when the nation saw the results? I was really hoping that it was going to be a coalition Labour government with Lib Dems or Greens, SNP. All the good ones! So I was very, very disappointed.

Why do you think the Conservatives are so entrenched in the South East? I think that it’s because not enough young people vote, which is probably a big reason why that is. But it’s the way the voting system is. If there had been proportional representation there would have been 25 Green MPs but instead there were only one.

ANTHONY Estate Agent

Who did you vote for? The Conservatives. Why? Doing what I do, Labour’s plans for the housing market would have been fairly catastrophic for all concerned. They were ill conceived so they wouldn’t get my vote.

What are you hoping to see happen over the next five years? Continued growth. I think they’ve done a fantastic job considering they inherited a phenomenal mess. They’ve done very impressive things in the last five years to turn it round and readdress the deficit and pull us back into positive growth. I think they deserve enormous credit.

Why do you think the other main party leaders failed to win crucial votes? Where do you want to start? Ed Milliband just wasn’t a very likeable character. Not what I consider to be prime minister material. But I feel sorry for Nick Clegg, because I think he does talk a fair amount of sense and he’s certainly a lot less odious that a lot of politicians. It’s a shame he had to step down.

ARMED FORCES DAY Armed Forces Day is coming to Surrey at the end of the month and Guildford will be the epicentre of this great occasion. But what is Armed Forces Day all about? Well first and foremost Armed Forces Day is all about us the public showing our support for the brave men and women who serve our country as well as giving them the much deserved appreciation for their sacrifice. Secondly, although no less importantly, it’s also about raising awareness about local units and what they are up to. In both cases it’s not just about

those currently serving, it’s also about veterans from past conflicts as well. All over the country there will be local events but it is Surrey’s and Guildford’s honour to host the national event this year. Here’s a quick guide to what will be going on that day in the town. The day kicks off with a service at Guildford Cathedral from 9:30am. After the service, at 11:30am, there will be a military parade involving hundreds of Army, Navy and Air Force personnel as well as Boys and Girls of the Cadets. The Parade will start from the bottom of Guildford High Street and travel to Stoke Park where the main show of the day will have been under way from 10:30am. The park will have stands and statics displays. There

will be shows throughout the day including The Royal Navy ‘Raiders’ Parachute Display Team, an Infantry Combat Battle Display, Apache and Merlin Helicopters, The Royal Signals White Helmets Motorcycle Display Team, The Royal Air Force Queen’s Colour Squadron, The Band of the Royal Marines as well as other Bands. The fun doesn’t end there because as well as all that fun there will also be live music and performances from Guildford College Performing Arts, From the Jam, The Rock Choir, as well as the Tenor Thomas Hobbs.

That’s not all the fun as even now as we go to print there’s yet more acts and entertainment to be announced so keep an eye on our website or visit www.armedforcesday.org.uk

MAGNIFICENT MAGNA CARTA Well, June is the month that sees the 800th anniversary of the signing of ‘The Great Charter’ and we too wish to celebrate this birth of modern democracy! Around the County there will be many events and shows all in honour of the Magna Carta, culminating in The Official Ceremony at Runnymede Meadows on June 15th, details of which can be found at magnacarta800th.com. Photo By National Trust-Andrew Butler

To keep things a little easier, we’ve highlighted four other events all under their own category for you to definitely have a look at. Oh, and if your knowledge of the Magna Carta is somewhat lacking be sure to check out May’s The Guide 2 magazine for a bit of a lowdown…

AN EVENT FOR THE KIDS AND FAMILY: RUNNYMEDE BOAT TRIP Why not celebrate a board the newly refurbished replica of a Victorian paddle steamer? Head to the Runnymede Boathouse, climb aboard and cruise upstream to the Bells of Ouzeley. On the return journey, the boat stops at Runnymede Pleasure Grounds for 5 minutes so passengers can get on or off. This is the perfect spot for a picnic with the family. The trip itself isn’t too long and with level easy landing stages, we think this is a great all round family day out. You can climb aboard at either The Runnymede Boathouse or the Runnymede Pleasure Grounds but your best bet is at the boathouse as this is where all the parking is. For more details visit frenchbrothers.co.uk.

SOME EVENTS FOR THE HISTORY BUFFS: LECTURE BY ANTHONY BARNETT A MODERN MAGNA CARTA

LECTURE BY ADRIAN LEAK FREEDOM: REALITY OR DREAM

United Church of Egham | 10th June

Guildford Cathedral | 6th July

If you fancy getting your teeth into the history of the Magna Carta and finding out a bit more why not head to Egham to hear Anthony Barnett discuss ‘A Modern Magna Carta’. Expect an in-depth look into how he Magna Carta became such a stalwart of the English political system and an exploration into whether we need a modern Magna Carta and what such a document might contain. The lecture will take place at the United Church of Egham, near the site of the Magna Carta’s signing. Visit eghammuseum.org/magnacarta to find out more.

A bit later on in July Guildford cathedral will host Adrian Leak who will be on hand to speak about the developing concepts of freedom and human rights starting from the Magna Carta right up until the inauguration of the Human Rights Act in 1998. This fascinating lecture will explore the issues of liberty as well as the responsibility of restraint that comes with it. What’s more before the lecture starts there will be a chance for you to study a facsimile of the Magna Carta which will be on display in the Cathedral. Find out more at guildford-cathedral.org.

An Event for the Grown Ups:

THE NICE TOUCH EVENT:

BEER DAY BRITAIN | June 15th

by the Bell Ringers Association | 14th June

This is England and when England celebrates we go to the pub! Joining in with the festivities is the annual Beer Day Britain. The Magna Carta was signed on June the 15th and to celebrate this pubs all over the county as well as the country will be celebrating all things ale. After all, as Article 35 of the Magna Carta clearly stated:

“Let there be throughout our kingdom a single measure for wine and a single measure for ale and a single measure for corn, namely “the London quarter”

THE NATIONAL PEAL OF BELLS In a lovely little homage to the Magna Carta, church bells up and down the country will ring out to mark the sealing of Magna Carta. Sunday the 14th of June is the day to remember as it is the Big Ringing Day. As we go to press the full details are being ironed out but we thought it a wonderful and traditional display of celebration. Nationally the bells will ring out from about 3 in the afternoon until 4. By the by the correct term for a bell ringer is a campanologist. Now you know.

So head to your local, put down the wine or fizzy continental stuff and raise your mug of fine English ale! More details can be found at beerdaybritain.co.uk

THE MAIN EVENT: MAGNA CARTA DAY 2015 13th June On Saturday the 13th of June the annual celebration of all things Magna Carta will take place with added impetus in the pretty town of Egham. Head into the town centre to enjoy a day full of fun and festivities between 11 and 4 in the afternoon. There’s loads happening in the High Street including stalls, face painting, lots of food as well as crafts, competitions and of course, a funfair. A great day of celebration for all the family! An added bonus is that there will be free parking all day long in the town centre car parks.

SURREY SEARCH AND RESCUE Whats an evening’s training like?

This month we’re going to delve a bit more into what it’s like to spend an evening training with Surrey Search and Rescue

By Will Knowlton

o here we are at Brooklands College, an engine’s rev from the famous motor museum. Before me is a whole host of what appears to be wooden acrobatic equipment. There’s a small group of us huddled together for a Technical Rescue exercise. It may seem odd to people that SURSAR uses ropes at all; after all, Surrey isn’t surrounded by mountains. But actually a good knowledge of knots and how to use a rope properly is essential to all rescue work.

surrounding a climbing tower that must be at least 60 feet high. (When I learn that part of the course is to climb it, it suspiciously grows in apparent size to 200 feet.) Evenly split into two teams we head off, armed with the knowledge that shark infested custard surrounds us. It’s all rather jolly and it’s only after a few minutes that the reality of what we’re doing sinks in. Three milk crates are cable-tied end-to-end, as

My arms are tired, my fingers numb from gripping the wall and my brain is forced to engage to remember a knot. This perfectly simulates the real world stress of a technical extraction. Everything has to be perfect. Someone’s relying on you to help them and your dependability relies on the man or woman next to you. If you’ve been up for hours, it’s cold and you’re tired, it doesn’t matter - it must be right. Having abseiled to the foot of Barad-dûr, it’s a sprint to the finish just outside the climbing area. But we’re not done. Still heaving our crates and gasping for breath, we’re confronted by four trees with ropes tied around to form anchor points. We must inspect each one. Three are deliberately weak; one is “just right”. Like sweaty Goldilocks’, we all inspect the ropes and make our choice.

“Put a Munter Hitch on that Karabiner”

Consider having to haul a loaded stretcher up a muddy steep hill in the rain; if you were in the stretcher, wouldn’t you want to know that there’s no chance of sledging down the hill because the guys have you all secure? Rope work is also important to those on the water as ropes can and are used to “snitch” casualties and drag them back to safety.

Tonight, though, has a fun air to it. We are to transport some milk crates around a course designed by our two instructors, Boss G and his able assistant Dave A. There are high wires and ledges, as well as low logs and walkways, all

cumbersome to move around as a body on a stretcher. The low logs we are supposed to clamber over without dropping the milk crates are tricky, and the meandering and weaving demands constant communication from everyone, lest a hazard trips a team mate. The tower looms in the gathering dusk. By the time I’m doing a passable impression of Adam West’s Batman my arms ache - I’m shot. It’s deliberate; we’re atop a tower, which we have to abseil down. Every knot has to be safe, and every rope secure. It’s now a mental test.

We all made the right choice. We all crossed the finish line together.

HISTORY By Will Knowlton

As you’re all aware, I tend to take history with a pinch of my own saltiness. It is rare therefore that a subject comes around warranting further investigation of the otherwise hidden facets of a person or an event.

In that spirit, let’s find out a bit more about Lewis Caroll. Firstly, Lewis was not his real name, neither was Caroll now you mention it. No, in fact Lewis was actually called Charles Ludwidge Dodgson. We all know him for his writing, all of which makes sense or not depending on how far down the bottle of absinthe you are on any given Friday, but what you may not know is that he was a dab hand at other things as well as writing and photography. Old Lewis was good at inventing things. He made a writing tablet called the nyctograph which although sounds like a measuring device for head lice was actually a device that meant you could take notes in the dark of night because all normal and sane people wake up in the night with a great earth shattering literary idea that just must be written down. This is how I know where I am in the food chain; I just wake up needing a pee. Anyways, the nyctograph was made of a bit of card with sixteen squares and a system of symbols that representing an alphabet of Lewis’ design, used letter shapes not too different

from the shapes a smart phone recognises in the search bar when searching for things like images on the internet. Just like the modern commuter, Lewis was bored by long journeys and came up with word games one of which was essentially Scrabble. He also invented something called a doublet which was a sort of word ladder. You start with a word like Log, change that to Lot, that to Cot and then finally that to Cat. Much hilarity and Kudos ensued I’m sure. During the whole of his life, whilst not meandering down the River Wey and penning poetry, he also invented the rule for finding the day of the week for any date (having lost his calendar we assume) a steering device for a tricycle (what did tricyclists do before then I know not), new systems of parliamentary representation (still needs work), double sided sticky tape and also a thingy for helping bedridden patients read from a book placed sideways so they didn’t have to miss out on any of his publications or collections of photographs. There, and you thought he just wrote books. Oh no, dear reader, there was a lot more to this man than meets the eye.

more than just alice

TALKING TO...

By Rich Lee He’s the master magician, she’s the iconic glamorous assistant, and together they’ve been entertaining audiences for decades with astonishing illusions and baffling magic tricks. On 13th June, the peerless Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee bring their Intimate Magic Tour to Camberley Theatre… Your 2013 tour was your ‘First Farewell Tour’. This isn’t quite the Second Farewell then… Paul: I just like to come up with tour titles that make people go, ‘what?’ This one was almost called the Debbie McGee Shoe Fund Tour. The last tour we carried lots of big equipment, but then I also enjoyed doing a show that more or less came out of my pocket. This one is somewhere in between, where the audience can be more involved. Do you still enjoy the touring life? Debbie: Paul adores being busy. He’s happiest when

he hasn’t got enough time to do anything. He just loves entertaining whether it’s in the queue for the supermarket or post office. But this year we’re not doing a tour that’s intense Paul: We are! We’re doing one in a tent! Debbie: We’d normally go out and do about fifty dates, but this time we’re taking it a bit easier and we’ll do about five a month and take August off. Paul: So I can play on me boat. We’ve seen magic performed all kinds of ways, from your brand of classic showbiz, the modern mentalism of Derren Brown to the street illusions of

Dynamo. Is there anywhere left for magic to go? Paul: Well when you consider it’s the oldest art form and it’s been going for thousands of years since the Egyptians, I don’t think it will fade away. For me the only place that magic really exists is live. If you are live you can see that it’s really there, happening before your very eyes, and that’s the basis for this Intimate tour. Are you ever dumbfounded by other magician’s illusions or are you impervious to trickery? Paul: I’m like a taxi driver: I’ve got the knowledge. But I’ve been studying this stuff for

TheGuide2Surrey.com/Entertainment

Paul Daniels & Debbie McGee sixty odd years. I’m kind of a guru now (laughs.)

And you’re a huge collector and historian of magic, aren’t you? Paul: Yes I’m a historian more than a collector now. I’m on EBay a lot these days…

You used to do a neat trade in debunking paranormal claims about the supernatural. How is it that in 2015 so called mystics and mediums still draw audiences under ‘light entertainment’?

those months sitting in a TV studio it gave me more time to do other things.

You’ve had such success with Debbie as your magician’s assistant, Paul, ever thought about taking a magician’s apprentice? It would make a great TV show… Paul: That idea’s come at us a few times. And last week I had someone discuss that very idea but in a sitcom situation.

never meet a normal person. There’s that many magic clubs, conventions and gettogethers around the world. So when Dynamo calls me the ‘Godfather of Magic’, I don’t know what it is. But I guess that where Dynamo or Copperfield do about one show a year, we do hundreds! It must be wonderful to still be so warmly appreciated. Debbie: It is humbling, but as Paul always says he ‘gets paid for playing with his toys’. Without any of that he would be doing what he’s doing.

“I’m like a taxi driver: I’ve got the knowledge. But I’ve been studying this stuff for sixty odd years. I’m kind of a guru now”

Paul: it works because we’ve got people who have religion and faiths, and the moment you open yourself to believing in gods or a spirit world, then you’re open to being abused by religious leaders, psychics and fortune tellers. If you’ve not been educated how they do it you’re as gullible as anybody. It was sad to see the magic television work dry up in the 90s but Debbie, you really flourished afterwards with acting, writing, your own magic act and a radio show on BBC Berkshire? Debbie: Paul and I just get on with living. When one door closes another one opens. I’d been a successful dancer before I’d worked with Paul and always been a career woman, so with not having all

I’d be open to it but I already have an ‘apprentice’, my son Martin who’s very funny and always working. Which country are you biggest in outside of the UK? Debbie: We get mobbed in Ireland like pop stars! We still find it amazing that we get recognised, but also that there’s a whole generation that bring their children to our shows. It’s really lovely. Paul: Within the world of magic, and this is a fact: you can work as a magician every night of the year and

Finally Paul… how much do you like, say, war? (Thinks) ‘I like it… Not a lot!’ Yes!!!

a Complete Four-Person Hospitality Package for MADNESS at Epsom Live!

Madness are quite possibly one of the most fun live acts you’re ever likely to see. Having been doing their thing for well over thirty years, there is scarcely a more universally well liked band in the entire country, we’d suggest. Having previously played on prestigious stages such as on top of Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert and at 2012’s London Olympic Games Closing Ceremony, Madness’s live show is a perfect fit for the Epsom Downs Grandstands. So how would you like to enter a competition to see the band – complete with all the hospitality trimmings – at Epsom Downs? Yes one lucky winner and three of their nearest and dearest will get to see Madness at Epsom

Yes indeed, this summer one of the nation’s greatest pop institutions embark on the biggest tour of their career. The Grandslam Madness itinerary takes the band, led by singer Suggs, to perform at a selection of the nation’s leading sporting grounds.

SUGGS SAYS...

“It’ll be the greatest tour since Boudacia. We’ll be going across the countryside rampaging and pillaging. We have our people working on designing a chariot - even as we speak,” he laughs.

Live on Thursday 9th July. What’s more, you get a full day of racing beforehand too. The full prize list will include the following: • Bottle of Champagne • Hospitality Badge and Racecourse admission ticket • 3 Course Buffet • Coffee & Mints • Cash / Account Bar Facility • Car parking • Race Card • Betting Couriers

Does that sound like something you’d like to enter? We think so too. To do so, simply visit

theguide2surrey.com/competitions throughout June to enter, complete with full Ts & Cs. A hearty good luck to you all!

“If you had told me this when I was a kid I’d have laughed so loudly my socks would have flown off. Of course it’s remarkable and a privilege to still be doing this funny old business that we do.” What are the qualities that make Madness endure? I think the reason we endure is that we genuinely do enjoy ourselves. The fact that we were friends before this band started is key. I genuinely think the whole spark or art of craft and creativity was a by-product of our friendship. I think that’s what people feel. It’s a genuine experience.

WHERE TO EAT: Aviator Brasserie, Farnborough

“

You could easily see a Bogart, Bacall and a Rat Packer or two lounging here

”

By Rich Lee

We ask permission to land at Farnborough’s luxurious Aviator hotel by Tag to explore what awaits diners at the Brasserie… Established over seven years ago by the global aviation group Tag, this uber-modern hotel regularly caters for corporates and the high-flyers that wing their way through Farnborough Airport and the private strip behind the complex. So you might be forgiven for thinking that the venue exudes a certain exclusivity that puts it out of reach of casual visitors and curious diners. Happily, that premise is entirely false as there are riches here too good to reserve for guests alone. And as we discovered, Aviator’s real treasure can be found in its restaurant the Brasserie and the intoxicating cooking of Head Chef Adam Fargin. It begins, as these things do, with the dining room, which mimics the chocolate, walnut, cherrywood satin and charcoal tones of the hotel’s elegant foyer, but then adds an echo of bygone glitz with photos of stars of Hollywood’s golden age. You could easily see a Bogart, Bacall and a Rat Packer or two lounging here, although

these days you’re more likely to see a Travolta or Hamilton and Scherzinger. We didn’t, but I’m just saying. The lunch menu is tightly tuned to offer around four options per course and to make choosing tantamount to torture. When Starters did arrive it was clear that some serious cooking was afoot. A golden crumbed, braised ham hock croquette revealed fibrous strands of silky meat when pulled apart over pickled wild mushrooms and ever-so-slightly charred leeks. A dish of Portland crab, jewelled with lemon caviar with curls and cubes of pickled cucumber was fresh, light and tangy and all sorts of pretty. A pause to catch our breaths and then the Main course appeared, and with it a pork lover’s dream come true. Imagine pig cheeks slow-cooked to meltingly tender perfection, jacked up with a smokey-sweet pancetta and chorizo jam. Then add ripples of velvet smooth mash humming softly with wild garlic, spots of apple puree and fruit for crunch, rich dark jus and delicately sautéed leaf of bok choi. With a single cube of belly and crackling hat thrown in for good measure, this dish exceeded extraordinary. Across from this, a handsome slab of pearlescent roast hake sat atop a golden pool of smoked

salmon & saffron consommé, spring vegetables and braised cod cheeks fusing flavours of the sea and country garden together effortlessly. By the time Desserts arrived, our decorum crumbled and we fell on an achingly attractive champagne jelly - suspended blueberries, crisp fruit brittle, summer berry soup and all - with unseemly relish. I could almost sense Bette Davis doing an eye-roll over my shoulder. The same fate awaited a dangerously decadent, goldflecked chocolate and orange pave. It really had it coming. You’d think all this high-end cooking, charming service and head-spinning class would come with a jetsetter’s price tag to match, but thankfully, at only £25 for a three course lunch, this just isn’t the case. So if the best local restaurants can usually be found hiding just out of sight of the high street, then the Brasserie at Aviator proves that sometimes they can hide in plain sight too.

TG2 DOES TIME AT THE CLINK Rich Lee went behind bars to visit a remarkable charity that rehabilitates offenders through training in horticulture and hospitality, followed by lunch at a very special restaurant… “Welcome to HMP Send,” intoned the prison officer as he unlocked the security entrance with nothing like the melodramatic gravitas I was privately hoping for. But then, it was a good day to be going to prison. Which is to say that the sun was out, the air was warm and not even the imposing 35ft barbed fences that ringed the complex could dull what was otherwise a perfect early summer’s morning. HMP Send is a closed Female Training Prison, one that enables all prisoners to work and partake in education, therapeutic and recreational physical activities. Vocational training is crucial to the regime at HMP Send, but few programmes are as remarkable as that provided by the Clink Charity. Current estimates say that 75% of those who leave prison without employment go on to reoffend within five years. The Clink aims to significantly reduce that prospect for their enrolled offenders through training programmes in horticulture and hospitality, and so far, with a reoffending rate of only 12.5%, it appears to be working very well indeed. At HMP Send, prisoners cultivate and harvest fruit and vegetables all year round, produce that then finds its way to the Clink’s own kitchens at four other prisons in the UK. The prisoners that these kitchens train turn these ingredients into exquisite,

modern dishes served in high end restaurants that are open to the public either inside or outside the prison walls. Governor Carlene Dixon, Chief Executive of the Clink Charity Chris Moore and Clink Garden Manager Gary Gates took me on a stroll through HMP Send’s gardens and nurseries. The prison itself isn’t half as forbidding as might be expected; an open complex albeit behind wire and fences, it consists of barrack like cell blocks, landscaped gardens and grounds and training facilities. Away from the main compound, I’m shown around numerous polytunnels growing every kind of fruit, vegetable and herb and all attended to by those women prisoners, currently around 14, on the Clink’s programme. “Work follows a normal working day and week,” explained the Clink’s Chris Moore. “So they start at 9am, work until lunch and then for the rest of the afternoon. They work 40 hours a week. Along the way they learn to work together as a team and develop social skills.” Garden Manager Gary keeps his trainees engaged by growing new and exciting produce. At the moment he’s visibly buzzing about cucamelons, tiny watermelons the size of a grape with a citrus sweetness. “It can be a challenge to keep them interested so we’ll always keep trying new things. Most of these women haven’t had the best starts. So we train them and for me it’s moments like when they eat their first tomato fresh from the vine, that eureka moment. It’s very satisfying.”

Governor Dixon clearly shares his enthusiasm. “You see a sense of pride which is really important for those women with low selfesteem. You see that confidence grow and that will help them in their lives upon release.” The courses are available to prisoners during the last 6-18 months of their sentence with entry dependent upon adherence to a custodial plan and good behaviour. They can earn NVQ and City and Guilds qualifications that will help them pursue careers in horticulture upon release, but Chris Moore says that their chosen vocation isn’t what is important. “We want them to go into work but most of all we don’t want them to return to prison. So it doesn’t matter to us if they go into horticulture but that they take these life skills with them.”

The Clink Restaurant at HMP High Down My first visit to a prison (honest, Guvnor) was rather benign. But upon arrival at HMP High Down outside Banstead that afternoon, with a dark and noisy storm approaching, things certainly took a turn for the grim. A Category B prison for male offenders, High Down’s fences are higher, it’s walls thicker, it’s population larger and, to my mind, several times bleaker. But after going through a checkpoint followed by a short walk through the ‘neutral zone’ and through another heavy security door, I suddenly find I’m not in a prison anymore. I’m standing, jaw agape, in a very tasteful and very busy restaurant. Within these prison walls was where the seed of the Clink Charity was first sewn. In 1999, Catering Manager Alberto Crisci saw the potential in prisoners he trained in his kitchens. In 2005 he developed the idea of the Clink Restaurant which finally opened in 2009 becoming the first public restaurant to operate inside a prison. The next year the Clink Charity was formed to expand the initiative across four more prisons and now boasts a successful private event catering branch as well. The restaurants are frequently graced by chef ambassadors, the likes of which include Giorgio Locatelli and Michel Roux Jr, happy to impart their skills to the trainees. I joined Chief Executive Chris Moore for an exceptional lunch beneath the gentle glow

of coloured ceiling lamps, surrounded by the prisoner’s own extraordinary artworks, the happy chatter of fellow diners and the buzz of the open kitchen nearby. Chris himself comes from a career in hospitality having started as a chef and rose to catering manager at Harrods. The Clink invited him to manage the project and in the five years since he has seen the charity expand at an astonishing rate and scope, winning many awards along the way. “This has been the most rewarding job I’ve ever done,” he told me. “To see men walk in broken and walk out tall is immensely satisfying.” The Clink Restaurant serves breakfast and lunch from Monday to Friday and requires only a painless security check to book a table. And book a table I recommend you do, if not just for the quality of the dining experience but for the chance to see firsthand how this charity is helping to turn troubled offenders into skilled and motivated workers with an approach that employs, above all, dignity and inspiration as its best tools. When I left HMP High Down the storm had arrived in full fury, presenting me with the awkward yet fleeting notion that it had become a very bad day to leave prison. But one thing was indisputable: Time served at the Clink is time well spent indeed.

MOTORING AHEAD THIS SUMMER The Festival of Speed and Moving Motorshow will take place over the long weekend of 25-28th June at Goodwood in Chichester – a day trip to remember awaits, dear reader…

By Joe Payne

Goodwood Festival of Speed Motor enthusiasts come in numerous forms. There are those that won’t hear a word said against Formula One; others think it’s all about banger racing or drifting; and there are those who merely want to breathe in the beautiful sight of a classic car. We won’t even get into motorbikes vs motorcars. But surely all petrol-heads love one thing – speed. Wherever your automotive allegiances lie – or even if you merely have a penchant for explosive entertainment – the Goodwood Festival of Speed is an absolute must. Arguably the world’s largest car event, the GFS is back for 2015 – and as is the norm with events such as this, it’s going to be the biggest one yet. The theme this year is ‘Flat-Out and Fearless: Racing on the Edge’, paying tribute to the drivers and constructors throughout history that threw caution to the wind in pursuit of victory. So what can you expect?

Well how about the following: •

MotoGP global/super/megastar Valentino Rossi will make his Goodwood debut to celebrate 60 years of Yamaha Motor Company.

•

Five current Formula 1 teams – including current World Champion constructor Mercedes – to appear in a swish, revamped F1 Paddock.

•

Seven(!) Mercedes-Benz 300 SLRs – some of the most stunning and powerful cars out there - will be on show to mark 60th anniversary of Sir Stirling Moss’s 1955 Mille Miglia victory.

•

The incredible 28-litre Fiat S76 – an early attempt to beat the land speed record - to have its first public run for 101 years at Goodwood as part of new category for Edwardian leviathans.

•

An exciting group of US racers, including NASCAR’s Richard ‘The King’ Petty and a Goodwood debut for drag racing’s godfather Don Garlits.

•

Derek Bell’s incredible sportscar career marked with special class of at least 12 cars, including the first of his five Le Mans winners – a Mirage GR8.

•

Motorbike legends Casey Stoner, Freddie Spencer and Kenny Roberts, here to show you their mad riding skills.

•

Exclusive UK debuts of brand-new machinery from Mazda, Ford and Bentley.

•

Bonhams - one of the world’s oldest auctioneers – will have a sale to feature a highly sought-after ex-works 1935 Aston Martin Ulster.

•

A Michelin Supercar Run and largest ever Paddock to feature sensational new supercars. Cue much gawping like teenagers…

•

Plus lots, lots, lots more!

ALDERSHOT TOWN APPOINT BARRY SMITH AS MANAGER Aldershot Town have appointed former Dundee and Alloa Athletic boss Barry Smith as their new manager on a one-year rolling contract. The 41-year-old has been out of work since leaving Scottish side Alloa in March. Chris Barker, who has been in caretaker charge since Andy Scott was sacked in January, will remain with the Shots as player-assistant manager. Smith began his playing career at Celtic and then spent 11 years at Dundee, captaining the side between 1997 and 2006. He returned to Dens Park as manager in 2010 and spent almost two and a half years in charge before parting company with the club in February 2013. He was appointed Alloa manager in January 2014 but resigned last month, with the Wasps bottom of the Scottish Championship following a run of one win in 13 league matches.

BLACKBUSHE MARKET CLOSES DOWN In something of a shock announcement, the beginning of May saw the closure of the extremely popular Blackbushe Market. The market, located in Blackwater, has been trading for several decades and the decision was undertaken without notice by British Car Auctions (BCA), who own the market’s land. The final Sunday Market was on the 3rd May, after which it was abruptly closed the following Tuesday. A statement on the Blackbushe Sunday Market website reads: “To our Customers and Traders:

The trading conditions at Blackbushe Sunday Market have become more difficult and the number of market stall holders and customers has declined significantly in recent years. It is with regret that we have made the very difficult decision to close the Blackbushe Sunday Market, and this is effective immediately.” As something of a staple of the local community, this has caused some upset amongst visitors and stall holders, particularly at the lack of notice to its closure. A petition has been set up on change. org to reinstate Blackbushe Market, but should this really be the end of the line, this would be a sad end to a popular community event.
