Feeling really good inside? These days it

seems almost a distant memory! Shoreham`s newest Health & Beauty Centre Feel Good Factor was opened last month.

Owner Yvette Jordan has been working around the local area for the last four years and her loyal following of clients welcome her new venture. Yvette`s proven approach has an extremely effective, new way forward for our Health, Weight, Diet, Inch-Loss, Exercise and Beauty. It stems from her 27 years experience and the fact she is a Lymphoedema Therapist.

She said “When I started Outside In Detox four years ago the health benefits that women were experiencing were truly amazing. I needed to know

more medically what was happening to give all these amazing results. On my course as a Lymphoedema Therapist I learnt obesity is one of the causes of Lymphoedema, but this devastating condition actually happens very, very, very slowly.

“You can diagnose early warning signs and visibly see the symptoms happening up to 5-10 years beforehand, and you can actually see these early stages in many overweight women, walking around. What is very sad, is they do not have any idea what is happening to them. And it`s all down to the lymphatic system becoming extremely sluggish and stagnant and basically being ignored, purely because we don`t understand how it works.”

Feel Good Factor is completely unique because it concentrates on lymphatic health and fluid retentive problems associated with weight gain. You can do private or small exercise classes and get on the road to fitness, reduce, tone and tighten up targeting specific areas you need i.e. waist and thighs.

Just breathing pumps lymphatics without running. FGF has a full range of therapies addressing the issue of being overweight and health related problems. All Yvette`s therapists including Karolina, personal exercise instructor are aware of the importance of lymphatic health in the fight against weight, fluid retention, disease and health they are there to help assist

you reach your target goal and size. Also a centre for beauty, Yvette specializes in anti-ageing treatments because prevention is always a better option than a cure. Beauty treatments are always part of feeling good whether it be an eyebrow shape, eyelash tint or facial. If you are feeling good on the inside you start to take care of the outside appearance. Visit fgf.uk.com for more information about all our treatments and therapies.

Feel Good Factor — Your HealthHow fed up are we to keep hearing diet and exercise to feel healthier! Yes! Absolutely you must eat a balanced diet — all in moderation, take exercise to keep the blood pumping around your body — vitally important! But sometimes you can feel tired, lethargic, unwell, swollen and you just don`t know why? You usually put it down to weight if you are overweight. If you`re not, it`s time of the month or stress, pet problems,

Hello and welcome to the October edition of your local community

magazine, Inside Shoreham and Southwick.

As we head into the cooler months there is still a lot to do outdoors,

from getting your garden ready for the colder frostier months and of

course planting those bulbs in now. With the recent rain my grass is

the greenest it has been for quite a while. Mark has some great tips

to looking after the lawn in his latest article.

October sees the celebration of Halloween and we have some

advice from the Police on how to make this a safe and successful one

for all. Also the first week of October sees the Children Book Week

and we have some tips on how to get your children reading.

I also wanted to mention that this month our What’s On pages

are packed full of information on local events in the surrounding area,

from firework displays to walks and local classes to suit all ages. We

hope you will find something to enjoy over the coming month.

Our dead line for the November edition is 12th October. So if you

Bonfire race Night

The Shoreham BonFire Society would like to thank all who attended the Race Night, raffle and Auction fund-

raiser in September. Much needed cash was raised and a great night out was had by all and they were well supported by local high street businesses.

A young local resident had a lot of fun throwing the giant dice for the home-made runners on the home-made racecourse!

The Society warmly invites new members who can join up through their website, www.shorehambonfire.co.uk. This is where you can get the latest news and donate to ensure Shoreham’s very own Bonfire and Fireworks display is a roaring success. They hold regular meetings, the next one is at Subway, Shoreham High Street on Tuesday 19th October at 7pm. New faces will be very welcome, members or not.

As well as needing generous public financial support (the Society is not grant funded), stewards and helpers will be needed on the night, which is Saturday 13th November, gathering on Beach Green from 6.30pm, processing at 7pm, to the Church of the Good Shepherd, Kings Walk, for a beach bonfire and fireworks at around 7.30pm. This should be a great night for all the family. Catering will be provided, and the event is fully insured and supported by local council and Emergency Services.

a very very clean beachSouThwick Beach iS fabulously clean and that’s official! It has

been awarded a prestigious Good Beach Award for 2010 by the UK's Marine Conservation Society.

Southwick beach is predominantly a pebbled beach with sand revealed when the tide goes out, which appeals to the whole community — surfers, dog walkers, sunbathers, families and fishermen.

The modern design of Shoreham Power Station not only gives a magnificent backdrop to the beach but also provides hot water for the surfers and swimmers!

Adur cabinet member for health, safety and well-being, David Simmons, says: "We love our beaches and are very proud Southwick Beach has won this award. One of our staff — Andrew Coates, has cleaned this foreshore area for the past four years and although he is soon to retire, he is very pleased to have been part of the efforts which have made this such a popular beach."

Although not life guarded there are plenty of facilities on or near to the beach — the popular Carats Café, public loos, car parking and the odd beach hut or two. And of course the beautiful beach itself!

rotary Club: Pakistan disaster

A special evening on Thursday, 2nd September was organized by the Shoreham and Southwick Rotary club in co-operation with the Rajah Restaurant, Windmill Parade, Southwick to raise money for the Pakistan crisis.

The object of the exercise was to raise enough money to purchase as many as possible, Aqua boxes, to send out to the stricken areas, under the supervision of International Rotary.

These boxes have two functions.They are filled with a selection of survival items and

also contain a filter cartridge and matching supply of water treatment tablets.

When the welfare items have been removed, each box filter can be used to purify up to 1,100 litres of polluted water, making it safe and pleasant to drink.

1,100 litres is 5000 cups – enough for a group of 4 people drinking 10 cups a day for about 4 months!

This exceptionally effective aqua box system meets all World Health Organization standards.

The Rajah agreed to give to the Rotary Club a generous proportion of the income from all meals and takeaways on the day and was filled with many diners, who were treated to superb cuisine.

Our local and very popular MP, Tim Loughton, paid us all a visit and spent much time with us after a busy day, before leaving with a large bag of “Takeaway”, having eaten most of his papadoms!

Altogether the Rotary club received a cheque for £750 from Ashadul Hoque, the owner of the Rajah and added to this, a group of diners from “Superior Dental Ceramics” very kindly donated £50.

A couple of other donations were added , and the club will now be able to purchase three Aqua boxes from the total amount, to be sent to the crisis areas in Pakistan.

We are most grateful to the Manager, Joel, along with his staff, for their kindness, efficiency and lovely food.

Photgraph shows Rotary President Peter Hewitt receiving the £750 cheque from Ashadul Hoque, with Tim Loughton’s approval!

The FirST Thing I do when dealing with new clients is ask them what mortgages, policies and pensions they

already have in place. The question is often answered with “ I have a few policies and plans but I can’t remember what they do”. Then it will normally be the case of being handed a dusty pile of old papers which normally mean nothing to the person who owns them!

Life company paperwork is often difficult to understand so it is not surprising that people lose track. This is where I can help.As an independent adviser, I can obtain information and updates on all of your current plans.

My job is to take this dusty pile and make sense of it. Once it has all been summarised in a simple format we can make sense of exactly what you are paying for and what it is doing for you. Do your plans fit your current situation? Are you throwing money down the drain paying for something you simply don’t need any more?Situations and policies change, so it is always worth a review.

One area people really don’t understand (or don’t want to) is pensions. Please read on! If you have ever taken out a pension or opted out of SERPs (or State Second Pension) there are many of you who will be in old fashioned plans, paying high fees to your provider and not reaping the rewards. High fees combined with low performance mean that your pension plan could be going nowhere. This really does have an impact on the income you will receive in retirement.

A phrase I often hear is “my pension is frozen”. When people say this they really mean that they don’t pay into their pension any more.Please don’t forget that the company still has a lump sum of your money, this needs looking after. A simple review can reap rewards in years to come.

I believe that people really do lose touch with their finances, this is easy to do in the rush of modern life. This is why our online client system has been developed. The system enables us to keep your policies up to date at the touch of a button. We can see clearly where you stand, and any areas which need attending to. From your point of view, if you like to deal online, we can provide you with access to

your own client file. This is a central point containing clear information on all of your plans, pensions and investments. Values are updated, and relevant paperwork scanned.Believe me, once your finances are on the system you will never lose touch again. If you don’t use a computer, this is not a problem, we can provide all of the same information in a paper format. if you would like me to make a full review of your finances, then please call me on 01273 224667. i am an independent financial adviser. i offer a free initial consultation to new clients and home visits if required.

converTing SunlighT inTo electricity has made great strides in the last 5

years and is now a viable option for the UK climate. It works using natural daylight and all energy generated is used by either powering your home or sold back to the national grid.

Do not be fooled by the common misconception that solar power is uneconomic in the real world; that it only works in hot countries or that it’s somehow no use for lighting because “the sun doesn’t shine at night!” The truth is that, because of rapid advances in manufacturing and economies of scale, solar photovoltaic power is very much a viable alternative today.

The power companies are obliged by the government legislation to buy the renewable electricity from households with Solar PV panels at a premium rate as well as pay the households for the electricity they generate and use themselves, called the Feed-in Tariff.

This Feed-in Tariff means that any electricity you generate and use yourself you get paid for (instead of paying for electricity you use). Any excess electricity generated is sold back to the national grid for more than you are charged for it. It will produce electricity and earn you money whilst you are at work or on holiday.

As it contains no moving parts or batteries, the Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system is virtually maintenance free and comes with a lengthy warranty. It works silently and emits no pollution.

Solar panels can increase the value of your home with the latest independent studies reporting that two thirds of buyers are prepared to pay up to £10,000 more for an energy efficient home.

What is the Feed-in tariff?The Feed-in Tariff is the internationally recognised name for the incentive which guarantees rewards for producers of clean energy over a period of 25 years. The idea is a tried and tested one in Europe and has been around for 10 years. The UK government has decided to implement the system in the UK and has chosen to brand it the ‘Clean Energy Cashback Scheme’

Homeowners who sign up between April 2010 and April 2011 will receive the best rate for the 25 year duration of the Feed-in Tariff. However, if you sign up in the years that follow (i.e. April 2011 - April 2035), under the current government proposals the rate a homeowner gets will decrease by 7% for each year after 2010.

The key points are:• 41.3p paid for every unit of electricity generated• A total of 44.3p paid if the surplus energy is sent to the grid• Feed-in Tariff financial benefits guaranteed for 25 years• Tariff levels linked to the Retail Prices Index (RPI)• All income generated is 100% TAX FREE

Where does the money come from?The money paid to the producers of green energy under the Feed-in Tariff comes from a small levy charged on every energy consumer. The feed-in tariff system is designed as an incentive to move away from conventional fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Essentially, it is government legislation which guarantees a fixed, premium rate for renewable electricity fed into the national grid.

Why do we get paid for producing electricity?The new Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme, sometimes referred to

as ‘Clean Energy Cashback’ is available through tariff payments made on both generation and export of produced renewable energy.

The Energy Act 2008 allowed the introduction of a Feed-in Tariff for small-scale low-carbon electricity generation in Great Britain, up to a maximum limit of 5 megawatts (MW) capacity. The Feed-in Tariffs Order 2010 (“the FITs Order”) came into effect on 1 April 2010. The scheme policy and tariff rates are set by the Government, with the

scheme itself administered by energy suppliers and Ofgem. Feed-in Tariff legislation fixes an above market rate for utility

companies to buy electricity from renewable energy producers. It is this fixed tariff paid by the utilities which makes renewable energy an attractive prospect for investors as it guarantees them a return over a long period and has been highly successful at attracting investment where it has been implemented across Europe. Germany for example now produces over 14 per cent of its energy from renewable sources, something which has been attributed to the generous and comprehensive feed-in tariff system implemented by the German government.

How much money will i make under the scheme if i install a Solar PV system?It all depends on how much Solar PV you install, the pitch of your roof and which way the solar panels face. A 2.5kw Solar PV system will generate about 2,215 units (kilowatt hours, kWh) of electricity per year. The Generation Tariff is currently set to 41.3p per unit. As well as receiving the Generation Tariff for every one of those units, you will typically use about half of that in your house, and export the rest to the grid.

In addition to the Generation Tariff you also receive an Export Tariff for the exported units at 3p per unit. And if you use half the electricity that is generated, you save buying regular electricity at 13p per unit.

Therefore this investment scenario could yield you a return of approximately 9.7% per year. As the Feed-in Tariff is guaranteed over 25 years, a homeowner can pay off their initial investment after 10 years and earn a profit for the next 15 years.

How do PV Solar Panels work?Solar panels contain photovoltaic cells to harness the suns energy (photons) and convert it to electricity (voltage).. Each photovoltaic (PV for short) cell is usually made from two layers of semiconducting silicon. This is the same process that happens inside a solar powered calculator but scaled up to generate larger amount of electricity.

This process takes place within PV cells which are panels that can be attached to the roof of your home. This electricity is connected to you home via the solar power collector, this links the panels to the fuse box and electric meter. The meter monitors how much energy has been produced and how much energy is sold back to the national grid.

The technology was developed for use in space, powering satellites’ electrical systems as far back as 1958. It has become hugely popular as a way of harnessing the sun’s energy on earth and a very green way of generating electricity.For more information on how to take advantage off Solar Power, contact GB Home improvements on 0800 612 6012

does Solar Power really work?

while halloween can undoubtedly be a great deal of fun, it can also be a particularly distressing time

of year for some of the more vulnerable members of our communities - especially the elderly.

With this in mind, the Sussex Police Service is urging trick or treaters to think carefully about which doors they knock on this Halloween. Better still, why not just stay at home and have a Halloween themed party with your friends and neighbours!

If you do decide to go trick or treating, please respect the wishes of any household displaying a ‘No Trick or Treat’ poster.

When trick or treating you should also stay as safe as possible by following the ‘Halloween Code’: Always go trick or treating with anadult • Only go to houses where you or your friends know the

residents • Don’t knock on doors where there is a NO TRICK OR TREAT

sign • Stay in areas that are well lit with street lights – take a

torch with you just in case • Stay with your friends – don’t split into smaller groups

unless an adult goes with you • Don’t talk to strangers on the street • Don’t enter any houses stay on the doorstep • Be careful not to frighten vulnerable people, especially

the elderly • Be visible • Look carefully before crossing the roads • Don’t vandalise anything or throw things like eggs and

flour. This can cause a great deal of damage and misery. What’s more it can be classed as criminal damage, or even assault, and a night of fun could end up with you in trouble with the police.

If you would like a “ NO TRICK OR TREET “ sign for your door, please visit Shoreham Police station where they can be collected.

Fireworks and the law.As bonfire night approaches we at Sussex Police can expect more calls from the public than normal. These often relate to the anti social use of fireworks, the throwing of them, and

fires built and set alight, during the time period fireworks go on sale, which is between 15th October – 10th November.

So what is the law?If you are under 18 years of age, you can’t: buy fireworks except sparklers; have fireworks in a public place; any person (not firework professional) to possess display firework.

Using fireworks legallyIt is against the law to: set off or throw fireworks in the street or other public place set off fireworks between 11pm – 7am (midnight on 5th November)

Firework safety checklistFigures show that more children than adults get hurt by fireworks. If you are having fireworks as part of your celebration, you should follow the steps below.• Only buy fireworks marked BS 7114.• Don’t drink alcohol if setting off fireworks.• Keep fireworks in a closed box. • Follow the instructions on each firework.• Light at arm’s length, using a taper.• Stand well back.• Never go near a firework that has been lit. Even if it hasn’t

gone off, it could still explode.• Never put fireworks in your pocket or throw them.• Always supervise children around fireworks.• Light sparklers one at a time and wear gloves.• Never give sparklers to a child under 5.• Keep pets indoors.

What is the penalty for breaching the regulations?Offenders can be prosecuted in a magistrates’ court and the penalties on conviction are, for each offence, a fine of up to £5,000 or a prison sentence of up to six months or both.

ThiS monTh i will try to answer some common questions, though if

anyone has a personal question, you are welcome to come for 10 minute free consultation to see if osteopathic treatment may be able to help you.

Who can practice as an osteopath?After the 1993 Osteopaths Act, it became illegal for anyone to call themselves an Osteopath who had not four years full-time training at a registered college of osteopathy. In addition all osteopaths must complete 30 hours of professional development each year and belong to the General Council and Register of Osteopaths, who ensure that the highest standards are maintained.

is osteopathy available under the NHS?Generally, no, but with the proposed changes in the health services we hope that this may change, especially as NICE has recommended physical therapies At the moment you have to pay for treatment, though we try to keep the fees low and most private health insurers will pay for osteopathy.

What is the difference between an osteopath, chiropractor and physiotherapist?All three professions overlap widely and all practitioners have their own individual style of treatment. Very broadly, Physiotherapists use a lot of exercises for the patients to do, Osteopaths use more “hands on” massage, stretching and manipulation (the cracking bits) and Chiropractors usually give a shorter treatment but with more manipulation.

What makes the “crack” when a joint is manipulated?This is due to bubbles of gas popping when the joint is moved in a special way. It is not bones being replaced. Spinal joints are interlocked and do not go out of place. However they can become very stiff and sometimes we can use a very quick, but very slight movement to loosen the joints. How many treatments will i need?This depends on many things such as patient response and the nature and duration of the problem. A rough estimate for a problem of a few months is 5-6 treatments. We will not prolong treatment unnecessarily.

STuarT PeTre Brodie Mais, or Petrie Mais as he preferred to be known, was a writer who lived in both

Shoreham and Southwick. Born in Birmingham in 1885, the son of a rector, he was educated at Oxford University and first worked as a teacher before becoming a journalist

His first move to Sussex in 1922 was to Hove, when he was aged 37 and recently married. At the time he was working as a Fleet Street theatre critic and book reviewer.

After the first night of a West End show he would rush back to his London office, write his review then catch the last train back to Brighton at five minutes past midnight. Rarely able to pay the ten-shilling taxi fare back to Hove, he usually walked the two miles home. His English textbook for schools sold 20,000 copies but other books sold much less well. His next best selling book, ‘See England First’ describes his country walks in Sussex in vivid detail.

In 1927 Mais moved to Southwick, renting for £100 a week, The Hall on Southwick Green, a knapped-flint house, built in 1691 and still standing today. Three years later he lost he job on the Daily Telegraph and began to freelance as a writer and broadcaster, producing a prodigious amount of work including advertising copy, as well as going on lecture tours. From The Hall on Southwick Green, Mais would take a pre-breakfast walk up the Downs as far as the ‘Rest And Be Thankful’ stone and sometimes as far as Thundersbarrow. Then he would often sit outside his home, with a writing board on his lap, chatting to passers by. A midday family walk to Shoreham beach would follow. He also spent any spare moments collecting old furniture and books.

In the 1920s, Mais began three decades of broadcasting radio programmes for the BBC. He was described as “the first travel journalist of the airwaves” and in 1933 started ‘Letter from America’. He grew famous for another show ‘On The Kitchen Front’ during World War II, which also launched the career of cookery writer Marguerite Patten. From listeners to this show, Mais received 500 letters a day. In another series ‘This Unknown Island’ Mais championed the English countryside, going on long rural walks the length and breadth of Britain. It was a gruelling schedule involving two days hiking, before heading back in time for his Monday evening live broadcast. “That man Mais makes me feel tired,” commented Winston Churchill. During this period Mais also traveled in the urban North, and talked to the Prince of Wales about ways to help end the unemployment and hardship he had witnessed.

When in 1932 Southwick Urban Council tried to stop cricket on the green, Mais rallied the opposition, leading out the teams to play, even after they had all had their names taken by a policeman. He even witheld his rates as a protest. This however saw him prosecuted and evicted from The Hall. The next council to be elected reversed the cricket ban, but in the meantime Mais had moved to Shoreham. Here he rented Toad Hall, at the junction of the Upper Shoreham Road and Buckingham Road for £150 a year. He lived at this house with his wife and two daughters, Lelage and Imogen, along with a nurse and a daily help. Much of

his time was spent away from home however, on lecture tours or researching for his books and broadcasts.

Mais wrote more than 200 books, writing through the night and working on up to 14 of them at once. Despite this he never missed a deadline. All this literary output did not make his fortune however and his grandson mentions an incident where his mother, as a child, had to raid her own piggy bank in order to save the family from the bailiffs.

The war year saw Mais and his family move to Derbyshire. They then moved to Oxford and finally back to Hove, where they lived in a flat at 38a Brunswick Square. While there he brought a cricket team comprised of people from the BBC and Oxford and Cambridge Universities to play against Southwick on the village green.

Stuart Petre Brodie Mais died in April 1975 at Lindfield near Haywards Heath, at the age of almost ninety. He received an obituary in The Times, but by now was not widely known. A bench was dedicated to him by his daughters and was placed on Southwick Green, but sadly it is no longer there.

What are the benefits of Yoga?Yoga is a gentle but powerful practice that is suitable for all ages and abilities. By combining gentle movements, working with our breath and taking time to learn how to relax properly we are encouraging the body back into a state of balance. The word yoga can be translated as ‘union’ of body, mind and spirit and is associated with the following therapeutic benefits: • Increased strength, flexibility, tone and stamina• Increased concentration and focus• Relief of physical and mental tension• Enhanced sense of well-being through increased

awareness of your body and emotions• Increased capacity of the body to hold and allow energy

flow, resulting in an increased sense of vitality and connection to self

Why Yoga, Breathing and relaxation are particularly relevant for people suffering with CFS/ME Many symptoms and physical imbalances associated with CFS/ME are due to hyper-arousal of our sympathetic nervous system, where the ‘switch’ is stuck in the stress state and yoga can be a brilliant method to counter balance this in the following ways:• Practicing yoga brings the attention to the body and

reconnects the person with their emotions again, in turn calming the mind. The mind generally fuels the sympathetic state, connection to body and emotions promotes the counter-balancing parasympathetic state

• Yoga slows and deepens the breath, countering the tendency in many CFS/ME patients to hyperventilate which causes anxiety and stress

• As many people with CFS/ME cannot undertake exercise, gentle yoga is the ideal way to keep the body flexible, mobile and conditioned – countering some of the inevitable de-conditioning that occurs with the lack of activity due to fatigue

• Patients will also learn relaxation tools and techniques to help promote sleep and relief from the “wired but tired” feelings

• Unresolved emotions can become trapped as muscle tension in the body, yoga can help move and release these trapped emotions leading to an increased sense of connection to self and well-being

• Gentle posture work increases blood flow to the brain and organs, creating a toning effect on the major organs and glands including the hypothalamus, which is responsible for governing the autonomic nervous system

• The gentle movements can also prevent lactic acid building up in the muscles reducing muscle pain

How does it workOur autonomic nervous system is responsible for the automatic or subconscious functions in the body (i.e. digestion, temperature control) and is divided into two branches:1. Sympathetic nervous

system - prepares our body for an ‘emergency’ and releases stress

hormones that result in symptoms associated with the ‘fight, flight or freeze’ mode.

2. Parasympathetic nervous system – is the bodies calming mechanism and works antagonistically, allowing the body to ‘rest, digest and detoxify’ reversing the process of the sympathetic nervous system.

Yoga promotes the rebalancing of the nervous system which in turn creates a “healing state” where the body now has the resources it needs to heal itself. Yogic philosophy sees the person as a whole and complete entity with signs and symptoms of illness being indications that there is fragmentation in the mental, emotional or energetic body. The body is communicating that things are out of balance through symptoms and with the introspective practice of yoga we can gradually learn to listen and understand this language and ultimately come to know ourselves better.

Rebecca Wilson is a Yoga Teacher and Nutritional Therapist practicing in the local area. She teaches yoga classes for CFS/ME in Brighton on Tuesday 2-3pm and Hatha yoga in Shoreham on Tuesday from 11.15am-12.30pm. For more information please see www.youryoga.org.uk or www.rebeccawilsonhealth.com

well The Summer seems to be well and truly behind us now, with the

nights starting to draw in and the colder evenings being noticeable. That means its time to start getting the garden ready for the onset of the autumn and winter months. Anything you do now will stand the garden in good stead for the burst of activity next spring.

As I mentioned in the last issue, get those spring bulbs in ready for a good show. It’s also worth starting to have a good look around garden centers and diy stores. As far as they are concerned Christmas is on its way and shelf space is limited. This means there are usually plenty of bargains to be had as they clear space for Christmas stock. It also means that items such as spring bulbs only get a fleeting visit so don’t miss them!

After the very dry summer, take some time to look after the lawn. The ground will be well compacted after the dry weather, so aerating it, and removing the dead thatch, by scarifying the lawn will really help it. It will look a bit of a mess after, but it will really pay dividends. Don’t forget to give the lawn a good feed as well. Any falling leaves should be removed from the lawn as soon as possible. The leaves can be stored in black bags, with holes punched in them, to create leaf mould. This will be ready by next year and is useful to spread on the beds as mulch. It also avoids the problem of taking them to the tip.

Give the greenhouse a good tidy up

and a wash down to kill off any lurking bacteria that will over winter and cause problems next year. If you have plants such as herbs or succulents that need moving inside, now is a good time to do it, before any frost. You can help insulate the greenhouse with some bubble wrap. If you do use a heater over the winter months, ensure there is ample ventilation. A few cold days also helps to kill off bugs and diseases.

Once you have cleared all the dead plants away, you may well be left with empty pots, containers and grow bags. These can all be emptied onto the compost heap, or onto beds to help improve the soil. Make sure plants that are past their best go on the compost heap as well. You will always get better results from compost heaps if the items you put on there are cut up small first, as they will break down quicker. If you have managed to produce some good compost, it’s a good time to get it dug into the beds and borders, as you clear them.

It’s also worth taking the time to clean off tools and give them a sharpen, so they are ready for the next season. Sharp tools always make the work a lot easier. You can also add any tools you need to the Christmas wish list!

At this time of year it can seem like there is a lot of clearing up to do in the garden. I always view it as a chance to get out on a nice brisk sunny autumn day and enjoy the weather, as you never

know how many more we will get during the year. It’s amazing how much you can get done in one day, with a fork in one hand and a cup of tea in the other

good readerS make good learners. Children who enjoy

reading, and who think of themselves as readers, are more likely to do well at school.

When we talk about reading, we’re talking about more than story books. As your child moves up through primary school, he or she will be learning how to read and understand instructions, letters, magazines, information books and even websites. By Key Stage Two, children are not just learning how to make sense of the words on the page, they are learning how to make sense of the ideas they are reading about. Through reading, they are beginning to discover the world around them.

If children are confident readers, they will not only do well in reading and writing tasks, they will be able to understand of what is being taught in every other subject: science, history, geography and even maths.

How can i help? By helping your child to see that reading is fun, you are helping your child to become a keen and confident reader.

8 top tips for reading at home with your child1 Read aloud to your child. Even

children as old as twelve enjoy the experience of a parent or loved one reading aloud to them. You may have read to your children when they were very little: get back into the habit and it’s something you will both enjoy. It’s a great opportunity for you and your child to talk, to be close and share a few laughs.

2 Encourage your child to read aloud to you. Be positive and patient about your child’s reading - even when they are being very slow or are struggling. The most important thing you can do to support your child’s reading is to offer encouragement and patience.

3 Make sure your child has a cosy, comfortable place in which to read: somewhere with no noisy distractions – and no television.

4 Help your child to choose books that he or she will find really interesting. If your child loves Star Trek, choose a science fiction novel. If he or she is a football fanatic, find a book, poem,

comic or magazine which is all about their favourite sport. Do you know the name of your child’s favourite author? It’s time to find out.

5 Make sure there are plenty of books at home. Borrow them free of charge from the school library or from your local public library; buy second-hand books from charity shops and car boot sales; give your child a book on birthdays.

6 Don’t worry if your child wants to read the same book over and over again, or if your child chooses a book which seems to be too easy or too young for him or her. The most important thing is that your child enjoys reading. Children will move on to more difficult books when they are ready.

7 If English is not the language your family speaks at home, enjoy sharing books written in your home language.

8 Ask your child about what he or she is reading at school. Encourage your child to talk about books they’ve enjoyed at school, and if your child has to do some reading as homework, encourage him or her to read aloud to you and to talk to you about the characters and ideas that come up in the book.

did you know……that the people who work in libraries and book shops love to talk about books? Ask librarians and booksellers to recommend great books for your child to enjoy. You can also find hundreds of book recommendations at www.booktrust.org.uk

lewes - lewes Bonfire CouncilMassive annual bonfire event takes place throughout the town, organised by several local bonfire societies. There are seven different Bonfire Societies in Lewes, each with their own marching procession, bonfire and firework display. From 5pm Lewes will be closed to traffic. Be warned that roads in the town are closed and there are no parking facilities. You may also have a long wait on public transport. Most processions take place between 7pm and 9.30pm on the High Street. From about 10.15pm the societies return from their fire sites and from 11pm most have their final processions leading to 'bonfire prayers' to round off the evening.
