Welcome Hi all,

There’s so many events coming up in the local area, it’s so hard to keep track of them all. We’re so lucky to live in a thriving community where there’s always things to do. We’re aiming to get our facebook page up to date with lots of these events so ‘like’ our page to see what’s going on near you. Likewise, if you’d like to promote a local event, drop me a line or message me either through email or facebook and I’d be glad to ‘Spread the Word’ for you.

Beauchamp’s Beautiful Bunting summer project 2015 at St Mary’s, Warwick To celebrate the completion of the first stage of the restoration work on the magnificent Beauchamp Chapel at St Mary’s Collegiate Church Warwick, we aim to create a festive bunting display to decorate this magnificent mediaeval Church. This will rely upon visitors, the congregation and local community groups getting creative and decorating bunting inspired by the history, heritage or faith of the wonderful church of St Mary’s.

After nearly two years of restoration of the Beauchamp Chapel, St Mary’s is proud to announce a summer project by making ‘Beauchamp’s Beautiful Bunting’. The project is running at St Mary’s between 20th June and 31st August. To participate in the project visit St Mary’s and make your way to the South Transept just outside the Beauchamp Chapel.

The project is free to take part and you can be one of the many people making this celebration even more special and unique to our community.

important milestone of our first £1 million raised, but there’s still a long way to go. There remains a need for a further one million pounds’ worth of repairs to make St Mary’s future really secure.’

There is an exhibition that tells the story of the restoration so far, with photos of the placing of new carvings now in position on east end apex of the Beauchamp Chapel. The tower of St Mary’s can also be climbed to gain extensive views across the Warwickshire Countryside and the town of Warwick. To find out more about St Mary’s, the fundraising and visiting this wonderful church in the heart of the community please visit the St Mary’s website at: www.stmaryswarwick.org.uk

This will be an opportunity for us all to celebrate what has been achieved and to look to the future to raise awareness of the next stage of restoration and fundraising. Alison Giles, the Campaign Director, said, ‘We’re delighted to have passed the very

Royal Pump Rooms, The Parade, Leamington Spa, CV32 4AA

Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum will be holding lots of fun and free events for the whole family this summer.

Paper Flower Family Workshops

Every Sunday in July, 1pm — 4pm In the run up to Art in the Park Saturday 1nd and Sunday 2nd August, Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum will be running paper flower making workshops for families every Sunday in July. Learn how to create your own paper flowers; these can then be displayed in the Royal Pump Rooms café or taken home.

Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum will be hosting free paper flower making workshops for families every Sunday during July (5, 12, 19 & 26) 1pm-4pm, in the lead up to Art in the Park on Saturday

1st and Sunday 2nd August in Jephson Gardens. Throughout these workshops you will

learn how to design your own paper flowers; these crafted flowers can then be displayed in the Royal Pump Rooms café or taken away to decorate your homes. Throughout these workshops you will have the opportunity to fashion various types of flowers and all materials will be provided. Participants will be able to follow set patterns or produce unique designs.

Learning & Engagement Officer, Penelope Thomas says, “It’s great to be a part of Blooming Leamington and we can’t wait to cover the Royal Pump Rooms with paper flowers. These will be fun and familyfriendly sessions, suitable for all ages and a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!”

The Art in the Park festival is a two-day showcase for local artists and has become part of Leamington Spa’s annual calendar following the huge success of last year’s inaugural event. This year’s festival will exhibit the work of more than 95 artists; there will also be 11 bands performing and concerts by Motionhouse Youth Dance Theatre Company and Pauline Quirke Academy. The free to attend festival is supported by BID Leamington and Warwick District Council. Full event details can be found at www.artinthepark.co.uk Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum’s paper

Handy Hints For

A Kitchen Makeover Granite Transformations offers six styling tips for a swift kitchen makeover

Nothing dates a kitchen like worn worktops, damaged doors, stained grouting, cracked tiles and burned surfaces. But renovating your kitchen and bringing the décor bang up‑to‑date needn’t cost the earth and could add upwards of 5% to the value of your property.

To give you an idea, home makeover experts Granite Transformations have put together some handy hints for updating your kitchen décor.

Layout – if you’re comfortable with your layout and its familiar oven-sink-fridge work triangle, then don’t rip everything out and fit totally new units, with all the expense and disruption that entails. Instead, reface your work surfaces with composite granite, quartz, recycled glass or porcelain composites that fit right over existing worktops and replace cabinet doors with new made‑to‑measure fittings, leaving the underlying carcases intact.

This also means no rewiring or new pipework, cutting installation costs by more than half.

Storage – even though you’re happy with the basics, your accumulation of gadgets and materials might make extra storage a bonus. Refaced work surfaces and cabinetry enable a new central island unit, extra wall cabinets or a full-height storage cupboard to be integrated seamlessly into your new design. There is also the option of glass-fronted cabinets and drawers for displaying prized knick-knacks or extending a run of base cabinets into a rightangle peninsula end, complete with cantilevered worktops for a breakfast counter.

Appliances – with the saving you enjoy from a makeover rather than installing a new fitted kitchen, you should be able to splash out on selected appliances, sinks, taps and accessories to set off your updated décor. The beauty of standard-sized kitchen units and white goods is that new items can be dropped into place with little fuss. So investigate new cooking technology like steam ovens, induction hobs, flush‑mounted cookers and built‑in microwaves, as well as undermount ceramic bowls and, going back in time, a deep butler’s sink

Practicality – if you have laboured in the past with resealing, sanding, treating and polishing stone, timber and laminate worktops, then now is the time to choose a modern, maintenance-free composite material that is nonporous, flame‑resistant and withstands stains, scratches, cuts, burns and knocks. Today’s agglomerate granite, quartz and recycled surfaces look like luxurious natural stone, but need just an occasional wipeover to keep their sheen and come in a wide choice of colours.

Splashbacks – you’d be surprised how a decorative, yet practical splashback can enhance or transform the look of a kitchen. Choose a regular upstand in the same material to run around the worktops, protecting against dirt and bacteria, a half-height glass mosaic splashback that adds texture and sparkle, or perhaps an extravagant, full wall panel in large tiles or seamless sheeting.

Modern, slimline agglomerate and polyurethanebacked mosaics will fit over existing tiles and surfaces, making fitting a breeze.

Colours – your décor is a reflection of your personality and lifestyle, so a kitchen makeover gives an opportunity to ditch unfashionable or eccentric finishes and explore fresh colour and style directions.

Black worktops can become white or bold colours, timbergrain cabinet doors can be transformed into high gloss acrylic and you can add splashes of brightness with glass mosaic panels or an island unit in a contrasting colour.

Remodelling means the choice is yours.

Granite Transformations operates showrooms in Banbury and Bicester, with their own expert designers and fitters who can carry out these kitchen makeovers and more, often in just one day.

We can even fit a carpet that will look like a freshly mowed lawn in the middle of summer with a mixture of green fibres and beige to give that thatched look. We use a new monofilament fibre so the feel of the carpet is soft to the touch and friendlier to animals.

Garden

Lighting Cutting-edge lighting designs can transform your garden – and don’t have to cost a fortune!

Installing lighting in the garden has often been seen as a costly luxury and something for large country manor houses – but with the advances in technology this is no longer the case. With the introduction of LED (light emitting diodes) technology, we have seen an increase in demand for outdoor lighting for gardens of all shapes and sizes. Now spring has arrived it is the ideal time to give your garden a new lease of life for summer!

Take the indoors outside when you make your garden a beautiful space ideal for socialising, dinner parties and somewhere the whole family can enjoy. Some well-placed lighting can make your garden a really usable space that will enhance your lifestyle. Bring out the spirit of your garden and show off some key features with the latest LED Colour technology.

The best LEDs are now powerful enough to light up large trees, water features, drive ways and patio areas. With a lifespan of 50,000 hours with low running costs they are a cost effective way to light-up your garden. You can save more money when you complete your installation with smart sensors, which turn the lights on and off automatically when the sun goes down and up.

Williams Electrical Installations Ltd has experience installing a full range of outdoor lighting from essential security lighting to complete garden lighting schemes. Give us a call on 07889 238822 to discuss your requirements or get advice on what you can do to bring your garden to life.
