Karols Korner Happy Birthday to US!! We are 2 this month!

It’s been a wonderful 2 years, bringing local information to the area and we have thoroughly enjoyed being a major part of the Newark & Lincoln community.

As a thank you to all our loyal readers and advertisers, this month sees 6 new competitions for you to enter, with, as always, really good prizes.

It’s a jam-packed issue this month featuring a really good article about how to make our locality more prosperous, and some of the wonderful places to eat & drink in the area.

Please remember to like and share our facebook page – Use locally Newark and Lincs. – all the competition winners are now announced on there.

Finally, don’t forget to mention the magazine, when you respond to adverts and let the businesses know that you found them through the magazine – without their support the magazine would be far less interesting.

Karol

Have a great May!

HR service in a nutshell B&G HR Limited We, Carole Broad and David Grech, started our Human Resources advice and support company 3 years ago. Our passion is HR and we want to help employers build a healthy workplace with happy employees.

Whether you are only just starting to think about expanding and taking on your first employee or whether you already have employees, we can advise and support you. We understand the challenges involved in employing people, and our service is fundamentally based on the highest standards of Human Resources, getting to know you and your business using effective communication, building trust and using our friendly approach.

Our aim is to give you confidence that your Company is operating in accordance with Employment Law and regulations, enabling you to minimise the risk to your business and creating a workplace where people want to work and go the extra mile, which in turn gives you the benefit of increased employee engagement, reduced staff absence and sustained job performance.

We recognise that every business is different and if you don’t know what services would benefit your business, talk to us and let us help you identify where the risk factors are and what can be done about them to increase productivity. We specialise in all areas of Human Resources from process and performance management, drafting contracts of employment, staff handbooks to handling disciplinary and grievance issues.

This month I would like to talk about policies and procedures and why you should have them?

Policies and procedures give 20

both employers and employees useful information and guidance regarding the Company’s stance on a particular subject. They should be live documents that are accessible to all. The benefit of having them includes consistency of treatment, legal compliance and protection for the employer as well as the employee. You may only need a few key policies to help you run your business smoothly. Policies should be reviewed regularly to ensure relevance and legal compliance.

After the initial meeting we will assess and advise you on what are the best policies and procedures for your business to

have. Whether it’s a policy that ensures both you and employees know what to do when for example, time off is needed or if an employee falls sick or what employees need to do if they are unhappy. We can generate documents to help and support you in a number of different areas at a reasonable cost.

We provide employers with a range of services, whether that’s on a one off basis, dipping in and out as and when you need us, or giving us a project to complete on your behalf. Or, for

a small monthly fee, you could be a retained client and call us whenever you need HR support and advice - like having your own HR professional on site.

If you are wondering what you need to know about, but are not sure what that is, call us on 01522 583963 or take a look at our website www.bg-hr.com and you can see in more detail what services we offer, who we work with and what people have already said about our service.

Looking forward to talking to you again in the next month’s edition.

Use Locally - Issue 25 May 2015 Most women find the experience of buying and wearing swimwear as daunting as it gets.

SwimCurves swimwear is designed and developed by 'real' women who understand the frustrations of the swimwear consumer, but also understand the complexities of designing a product the meets the consumer needs. Our aim is to develop great products that smooth and flatten your body, hiding and disguising those 'bits' you don't want to share and helping you feel fantastic and confident whether you are by the Pool, on the Beach or relaxing at the Spa.

NATIONAL SMILE MONTH THERE are many reasons why people lose their teeth, such as illness, accidents and poor care. The loss of even a single tooth can lead to the loss of others and, if left untreated, to permanent changes in facial appearance.

Kevin Manners denture patients benefit from the latest advances in denture technology and the best craftsmanship and care.

Kevin Manners has been in business for 28 years. He opened his first denture clinic in Nottingham in 1986 and now also has clinics in Newark and Mansfield.

The clinics concentrate on the three main factors needed to ensure the best result - denture fit, function and cosmetics, and achieve them using advanced clinical and technical skills and techniques.

A changed facial profile is one of the tell-tale signs that someone is wearing dentures, but denture facelifting techniques allow patients to regain their facial profile and upper lip support.

Patients benefit from the undivided attention and creative expertise of Kevin Manners, and his associates, whether working to his own treatment plan, or one supplied by a dentist for partial dentures.

The expert team at Kevin manners has made dentures for many years. Bringing together a unique combination of technical and clinical skills, they have established a reputation for 24

“My new dentures have changed my life. I feel years younger� excellence within the dental industry.

Clinical dental technicians are fully qualified dental care professionals registered with the General Dental Council, they can give full mouth examinations and can treat full /complete denture clients without the intervention of a dentist, however if you have any natural teeth remaining your treatment plan will be designed in conjunction with a dentist. We can assist in this process by either using your existing dentist or recommending a dentist locally if you do not currently have one.

They promise to: l Commit to providing you with dedicated, patient focused services l Provide the very best care, advice and treatment l Improve the way you look and feel, and your quality of life

Use only the highest quality denture materials l Listen carefully to what you want to achieve l Understand your individual needs and encourage your input l Help you make an informed choice about your treatment options l Work closely with you and the whole dental team to bring you the best results l Refer you to other dental professionals if necessary l

At Kevin Manners a variety of solutions are available to replace missing teeth with attractive, natural-looking dentures.

The denture teeth used are gender-specific and are made from state-of-the-art materials, meaning the dentures stay in place and give fully-restored chewing ability and taste sensation.

Kevin Manners brings together some of the best denture experts in the region. They aim to produce dentures with the look, feel and function of natural teeth and, by working closely with their implant dentists can offer patients the numerous lifestyle benefits of implant-retained dentures.

With Kevin Manners dentures, retained by dental implants, you will, feel healthier, happier and freer to live your life the way you want.

Testimonial from Grace Needham: “I’ve been a full denture wearer since the age of 25, that’s now 42 years.

Losing most of my natural teeth was probably the most devastating occurrence of my life.

I was traumatised for many years.

I as always led to believe that my teeth had lost the calcium during the time of having children.

Along with my teeth went my self-esteem and confidence.

It took me years to come to terms with what had happened. I was told by my dentist that I had great teeth but rotten gums.

For many years I had persevered with ill-fitting. loose, uncomfortable dentures that looked like dentures. I couldn’t chew food properly or manage to keep them in without using lots of horrible gunge to secure them.

My social life suffered terribly because I could never enjoy going

out for meals with confidence.

That’s all changed!

My friend called to tell me about her new denture experience after visiting Kevin Manners who is a highly experienced clinical dental

technician with over 28 years’ experience. Not only does he actually make the dentures himself, but he is also clinically qualified to actually make the moulds for the fitting directly with his patients.

I needed a check-up from a dentist though as I have a few natural teeth left. I went to him in July for my free consultation. The rest is history.

He made me the most fantastic, natural-looking, comfortable dentures that actually work, and they fit properly too. I am now in a dental situation I could only have dreamed of previously.

My new dentures have changed my life. I feel years younger, smile properly, and my confidence is back for the first time since 1969.

It has improved my husband’s life too. My lower denture still moves slightly, but that will be secured by two dental implants later in the year.

Going Potty for Summer Plants

by Pippa Greenwood I am a great fan of hanging baskets, window boxes and patio containers, but this year why not include some unusual containers and planters to bring a different look or even a bit of humour to your garden?

You can use almost anything as a planter. I have seen some really crazy plantings in disused hand basins, loo cisterns or even the lavatory itself! If you are using something like a hand basin which only has one plug hole in the bottom, make sure that you cover it with pieces of broken crock and then perhaps put an inch or two of coarse gravel in the bottom of the container before you put the compost in.

But there are plenty of other normal household objects which can be used. How about that old watering can that’s sprung a leak? Whether you have a traditional galvanised can or a more modern plastic one, you can have great fun planting it up with bedding, particularly if you choose something like trailing blue lobelia to come spurting out of the top and perhaps even the end.

Buckets, too, can look really good fun and if you have one ZKLFK VWLOO KDV LWV KDQGOH ÀUPO\ attached, then you could use it as a hanging basket.

48

Old footwear can be turned into SODQWLQJ ZLWK UHDO ÁDLU ,I \RX use old gardening boots or a pair of shoes, you are unlikely to need to add extra drainage as they invariably drain well.

But if you are going to recycle a pair of wellies, then you may need to punch a few holes.

Again, cascading plants can look particularly dramatic, but a bunch of bright red geraniums or the spiky hedgehog-like foliage of a bright green or variegated grass can look particularly eye-catching.

See if there’s anything in your kitchen cupboards that could be recycled. An old saucepan, casserole pot or even a mixing bowl or jug can make an attractive planter. If the container is large and there are no drainage holes in it, then the other option is to plant it up as a mini bog garden and use moisture-loving plants in it such as hostas or pond-side irises.

Colanders or sieves also make interesting and unusual hanging baskets. You can simply plant one or two upright specimens in the centre of the colander and then use plenty of trailing plants around the edge and allow them to cascade down.

You could even create your own living tea set with an old sizeable teapot and some large mugs full of favourite summer

bedding.

Larger items such as old wheelbarrows or chimney pots can often be bought very cheaply from a local salvage or junk yard. Something like a wheelbarrow gives a huge planting area and because it holds such a large volume of compost, it will also mean it will be less inclined to dry out.

All these containers can be treated in just the same way as a container that you have bought from the garden centre.

As I mention, drainage is of great importance, but when it comes to choosing a compost and the plants themselves, you need nothing any different from when you are planting up a more traditional container and believe me you can have a lot more fun!

After all, we pride ourselves on our genuine warmth and friendliness – it's all part of the first-class care and support that we provide to the people of Newark.

We have a range of services and facilities for all care needs, including: • Dementia care • Nursing care • Activities programme • Respite and Daycare • Residential care • Beautiful gardens

If you fancy a look around our home, or just need a bit of friendly advice, give me a call on 01636 880 626
