OUR CITIZENS GENERA Five years are up and this May 7th sees the UK head back to the polls once more for the General Election. As the parties’ campaigns get into gear, we asked you your feelings on the imminent election and on UK politics in general…
SAM | 21 | Shop Assistant If we trusted them more, I’d vote. I don’t see much of a difference between parties. They’ve got odd policies, but they all seem to be saying the same thing. It’s all hot air. When people get elected they never seem to do anything. No one’s giving any definitive answer. It’s very confusing. The only person I actually find interesting is Boris Johnson. CHRIS | 39 | Estate Agent If the ‘Ed and Ed Show’ get anywhere near power it’s going to be a disaster. We’ve been through five years of austerity, and now we’re finally heading in the right direction. Why would you go down one path towards improvement and then change tack? I’m not a Tory drum-banger, but they’re the best of a bad bunch. STEFAN | 62 | Artist I’m not really political but I don’t see much difference between the parties. I think it’s a question of voting for who you feel at the time, compared to which candidates have been around for a while.
LIZ | Boutique Owner I don’t know anything about politics! I know it should be important to me, but to be honest it isn’t. I suppose I think it’s not really going to affect me because I’m down here and [politics] is up there. Which is wrong, I know, but there’s nobody that I really want to vote for.

AL ELECTION 2015 Dave | 50 | Café & Deli Owner Like a lot people I shy away from politics. All I’m seeing is propaganda. Consequently, I don’t feel any allegiance to any party. They’ll give us all these promises and this time next year, none of them will have happened and we’re back to square one. That’s very cynical but that’s as far as I go with it.
Olivia | 25 | Shop Assistant I know the General Election is happening but I don’t know what it is that puts me off. I think politics should be taught more in schools. A lot of my friends are interested though, which makes me feel a bit thick, haha.
WITH 2015 SEEING A GENERAL ELECTION, WE OFFER SOME INFORMATION ON WHAT TO EXPECT IN SURREY ON MAY 7TH Why Vote?

SURREY SEARCH AND RESCUE BEGINS! by Will Knowlton Last month we introduced you all to our charity of 2015, Surrey Search and Rescue. The unit is a fairly new addition to The Association of Lowland Search and Rescue (ALSAR) family having only been formed in 2010. It was that year that Tim Rowsell discovered that many of the surrounding counties had established SAR teams who provided invaluable support to both their local constabularies and communities. The crux of the matter is this: local authorities struggle to provide manpower in searching for missing people, as well as providing an effective quick response to natural incidents like the floods in 2014. So why not establish a well-trained, motivated and effective Rescue team that could support the police during these events? Not for the first time Facebook, it seems, came to the rescue. A group page was created by Simon Jeffs and Kris Manning called “Let’s form a SAR team in Surrey”. It was not as easy as getting a group together, phoning the local nick and telling the Duty Sergeant that they were ready and able. There were standards to be met and exams to pass. Like all professionals, qualifications were needed; and that’s where ALSAR came in. As the national body it was their job to qualify the team and see to it that they were better than up to scratch. It was only once these criteria could be met that Surrey Search and Rescue would become operational. The team began to take shape and morph into an effective unit; this was recognised and they were quickly granted provisional status to join ALSAR. The inclusion of search dogs on the team gave a further asset and they were soon given full membership to Lowland Search Dogs. While all this essential assessment was on going the team were out cutting their teeth in searches as well as helping out across the county’s borders.
By late September the unit was taking shape nicely. They had taking part in 50 operations across the county and beyond. Moreover, the addition of two more qualified dogs and qualification of 12 Search Technicians brought the unit up to 38 members. As the end of Christmas loomed the team had taken part in over 60 searches and by the time decorations were being put away for another year up and down the county, Surrey Search and Rescue were assessed and given complete membership to ALSAR. The rest, as they say, is history…
HOW CAN I HELP? Surrey Search and Rescue rely entirely on volunteers, and as such there are many ways which you can help but for ease there are three main types of volunteer:
Volunteer Supporter The Volunteer Supporter assists the team by helping out at training sessions as well as fundraising events. All help is welcome.
Friend SurSAR Friends help out by performing administration duties in the day to day running of the team.
Search Team Member Joining the Search Team is a serious commitment and not to be taken lightly. The training is intense and as such will take up your time as well as money for travel and certain bits of equipment. If that’s fine then all the team asks is that you are physically in good shape (searches can last hours and will cover all the terrain that the 642 square miles of Surrey has to offer) as well as having a basic appreciation of navigation, first-aid and of course being a good communicator.

OUR HISTORY:
SILENT POOL BREAKS ITS SILENCE by Will Knowlton Tell me; have you ever been to Silent Pool? Nestling beside the A25, it’s a weird place; all perfectly still and quiet. The sort of place where hippies go to sharpen their chakras. Turns out there’s a (almost totally untrue) tale to be told about the place, featuring nudity and death; you’ve got to love Surrey’s ‘history’... Once upon a time there was a guy called Hal. Now before Hal put his name to psychotic computers, he lived in the woods between Guildford and Shere. This being the olden days, running the family was left to his eldest kids Emma and Tetbert (how much was he picked on at school for that parental gift?). Now, like a montage from a True Movies special, Emma grew up to be rather attractive. Locals and meandering folk would divert to the woods mainly so that they could get a drink of water and cop a look at Em. So not only did she look after the kids, do the ironing, the weekly shop and feed dad, she also had to fend off every dirty beggar in the county. Anyway, word of her looks made their way to members of Prince John’s hangers on. Clearly bored of visiting rickety ‘establishments’, John and his entourage organised a day trip. So the guys stopped for some water at Hal’s well and, recce done, went on their way planning to return for some more fun of the horizontal nature.
Next to Hal’s gaff was Shirebourne Pool which, being a quiet and secluded place, was where young Em would go to wash. One day, three riders appeared at Hal’s place. Two of the guys feigned interest in Hal’s woodwork and, ever eager to make a quid, Hal got straight on with the pitch. While he was gassing, he didn’t notice the third geezer slip off in the direction of the pool. This was no gentlemen - this was Prince John. Turns out Tetbert saw John ride off and, having spent the ma jority of his life watching over his sister, put 2 and 2 together and ran after John’s horse. Meanwhile, Emma was just paddling into the pool when the horseman approached. Grasping a nearby hanging branch to cover her dignity, she hoped the rider would miss her and ride on in the direction of the petrol station in Gomshall. However John had spotted her and rode his horse into the water towards her. Emma slowly waded backward, but she hadn’t noticed she was by the underwater shelf which dropped down 20ft. She slipped and went under - and started to drown. John, in a move that only solidifies his image that he was an absolute ******, got out of the pool, and started drying himself off. Enter Tetbert, who saw his sister drowning and jumped in. In the struggle Emma had got stuck on an underwater branch, but old Tetbert refused to let her go and, well… they both drowned. John went back to his friends, and Hal eventually went to check the pool. From that day to this, everything at the water was silent. The birds still don’t sing and there’s rarely a breeze to ripple the pool’s surface. Prince John: What a pr*ck.

LEE NELSON:
ALL GROWN UP
Lee Nelson is about to embark on a huge nationwide tour – but before that kicks off, the loveable scamp with a reputation for pranks is coming to the Westy… You know, you’ve really got to hand it to Aldershot’s West End Centre. A brilliantly busy place, not only do they offer you courses and workshops to help improve life skills, but high quality entertainment in abundance. And while many venues of the Westy’s size might be content with settling for relative unknowns to take to the stage, here in Aldershot they draw in some of the nation’s biggest comedians… Yes as that title will have no doubt informed you, the brilliant Lee Nelson will grace the West End Centre with his presence on Thursday 26th February as a warm-up show for his upcoming UK tour, which starts at the end of March. What does that mean, dear reader? Well, instead of heading to a large theatre miles
away from your house to watch him, you can hop over to North Hants and see an intimate show for £15. Excellent. Many of you will recognise Lee from his hit BBC Three comedy shows ‘Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show’ and ‘Lee Nelson’s Well Funny People’, starring the loveably dopy chav himself. You may have even seen him host Live at the Apollo or caught him trying to join the England Squad as Premier League footballer Jason Bent – or perhaps even gate-crashing the X Factor last year (note – Cowell’s face was a picture). This time though Lee is heading to Aldershot in preparation for his ‘Suited and Booted’ tour, where the usual baby blue baseball cap has been replaced by much cooler attire.
We somehow think that Lee’s new look may not reflect a personality change though… Having previously been described as “Never lost for words, never less than ingenious… a seamlessly entertaining touring show” by The Times and “Comedy Genius” by The Daily Mirror, we say don’t miss out on the chance to see this ‘Qualiteeee’ show at the Westy!
Lee Nelson’s work-in-progress show takes place on Thursday 26th February. Tickets are £15. Buy now at www.westendcentre.co.uk. Find out more about Lee Nelson’s tour at

ELLIE KELLY OF BUTTONS CHILDRENS PARTIES IN FLEET GIVES US SOME INFORMATION ON AN EXCITING NEW CHILDREN’S PARTY IDEA... As with lots of things ‘party’, America is in the lead when it comes to new ideas and designs. Don’t panic though - us Brits are on their tail and coming up with some pretty fab creations of our own. As you can see, sweetie tables do not just have to have sweeties on; the trend now also includes displaying dessert items as well, including cookies, cupcakes, birthday cakes, smoothies and any other yummy sugar filled party nibbles you can think of. If you have a theme, then a Sweetie table can be an amazing statement piece for your party venue and create a real WOW factor for your guests, whether it’s big or small! This was a fab theme to work on - full of fun, mischief and bold colours. I sourced some yummy sweets to fit with the theme and displayed them with some Monster printables I found on Etsy. Sweets included, Super Sour Monster, White Chocolate mice, Snakes,
Worms, Gummy Teeth and Sherbet Straws. As well as looking and smelling rather nice, the Monster table was part of the children’s party gift. Everyone got a little bag to fill it to the brim with all the lovely sweeties before they went home. I was delighted with the end result and the children loved making up their own bags and getting mice from the monsters tongue. I just have to work on giving away the few sweets I came home with now rather than eating them!
More wonderful ideas, as well as party planning services can be found on Ellie’s website www.buttonschildrensparties.co.uk and to find out more call 01252 640874.

HIT THE SLOPES WITH ALPINE SNOWSPORTS ALDERSHOT
Winter sports are becoming ever more popular in the UK, and while you have to go abroad or way up north to get some real life peaks, in Aldershot there’s a dry slope that the whole family can enjoy.

So – what is Gravity Force? Interconnected trampolines with angled edges literally allow you to bounce off the walls – so it’s fun, energetic and a great way to exercise. Kids, teens and adults alike will all love the foam pit, dodgeball courts, slam dunk basketball hoops and tumble tracks. Bouncing like a kangaroo all day sounds like a half term treat to us…
A creative hub to inflame the youngsters’ artistic side. They (and you!) can create a totally unique piece; starting with a plain white blank (bisque) shape, you paint on your design using ceramic paints (underglazes), they fire it for you in the kiln, and your piece is ready for collection within 2-4 days. A particularly good idea for a group party too.

Valentine's Day Dinner Peach Pavlova To be honest this is less of a recipe and more of a direction for assembly as we recommend, in order to keep this menu stress-free, you get pre-made meringue! If, however, you would like to try out making your own meringue then head over to our recipes page for guidance www.theguide2surrey/recipes
Method Ingredients
24
Circular meringue base 1 Packet of small meringue bites 1 pint whipping cream 2 tins of peaches in juice drained 3 ripe passion fruit
•
Place your meringue base onto a cake stand. You can use a plate but the stand really helps with the wow factor.
•
Using an electric hand whisk beat the cream in a bowl until it forms stiff peaks.
•
Spoon the cream into your base and spread it so that it is evenly distributed.
•
Spoon the peaches onto the cream and then scrape the passion fruit’s contents over the peaches.
•
Finally place some of the meringue bites on top of the fruit.

ALPINE SNOWSPORTS CENTRE, ALDERSHOT
Surrey Sports Park | 7th February
We’re still in winter (they never end, do they?) and yet we do not have the means to ski down real slopes in Southern England. Enter Alpine Snowsports Centre in Aldershot.
Guildford’s Surrey Sports Park once again excel themselves with this event on Saturday 7th February. A whole array of sporting events for those with mild to moderate chronic health conditions, today is all about encouraging a fitter and healthier lifestyle. If you suffer from asthma, obesity, arthritis, stress or depression – plus other physical and mental health conditions – this will be a day out in a friendly, welcoming environment with others in a similar situation. Spinning, swimfit, walking basketball and football, table tennis and lots more will be on offer. Find out more at www.surreysportspark.co.uk.
If you ski or ‘board (duuuuuude), then this is the place for you. There are three slopes at the Centre, each with their own lift, mist system and floodlights. There’s also a small ski shop on site for those last minute accessories. Tip: come and use the slopes on a snowy day. Skis, snowboards and donuts all go like bullets. Pray for the white stuff to fall… So if you’d like to bomb it downhill on a slope once graced by Chemmy Alcott and Eddy “the Eagle” Edwards, then Aldershot is where to head! www.alpinesnowsports.co.uk
BRUTAL BAGSHOT Bagshot | 14th February Brutal runs are difficult. Lengthy runs that are uphill, down dale and through water, this is a tough race for competitive runners. A great way to spend Valentine’s Day then! The Brutal Run in Bagshot is a two lapped hilly and very wet 10km course. It’s called the Alpine Circuit for a reason (i.e. bring waterproofs…) There are prizes to be had, but this is all about the competition folks. Get stretching… Entry £18 | brutalrun.co.uk
NEED FOR SPEED BOOT CAMP Guildford Spectrum | 15th February Want to boost your skating prowess? Then this is for you… With over 20 years skating experience along with international inline hockey experience, James from Skate Britain is pretty darn fast and an excellent coach. Come to the Guildford Spectrum and learn the art of speed, and backwards skating. In the Need For Speed class, whether you’re a beginner or looking to master backwards crossovers and weaving, this is where to achieve your goals… Cost: £15 | skatebritain.net
SURREY HALF MARATHON Start | Finish Woking Leisure Centre | 7th March Yes it’s not until March, but this is a final call for those wishing to enter. Sign up to raise money for charity or just to improve your general wellbeing (NB – we recommend doing both…) Running a shade over 13 miles through the Surrey countryside on an early spring day is marvellous, but make sure you check out the website to sign up, find out more and make sure stay ahead of road closures and the like… surreyhalfmarathon.co.uk
