e Brits love to moan about theweather and haven’t we had a lotto talk about? I spoke too soon inthe March/April issue when I said

“we’ve had our annual helping of snow” andas I write this it’s still trying to drop somemore of the stuff on us! Hopefully by thetime this comes out we'll have turned the corner and start seeing the first signs of a latespring…fingers crossed!

I am delighted to welcome a couple of localcontributors to this issue. Caroline Kerr Smithwill be providing some regular gardening features and Mark Parry some local intereststories. I look forward to working with themboth over the coming months and I hope youenjoy their contributions.

In this issue, the centre four pages are thebrochure for the Deal Motor Show, whichtakes place on Walmer Green on May 25th.Last year’s show was great and this one shouldbe bigger and better.

But before the Motor show we have theWalmer Brocante to look forward to, whichalso takes place on the Green on BankHoliday Monday, May 6th, bright and earlyfrom 8.00am.

Let’s hope the weather is kind for bothevents. Enjoy your spring, if it ever arrives(there I go, talking about the weather again)!

he aptly named LandmarkCommunity Centre stands proudlyin the high street as a hub of thecommunity. The former site of the

United Reform Church is a blend of old andmodern design that almost never was.

In 1978 the bulldozers were poised todemolish the church before appeals to savethe building were answered by benefactorFred Cleary. The years that followed saw aworking party lead the development of thebuilding, adding two additional halls to the originalCleary Hall. The RichardsonHall was subject to two arsonattempts before its redevelopment and theHollingsworth Hall is the realisation of plans drawn upby architectural students fromthe Canterbury School of Art.

Later on a members’ bar wasopened. Situated beneaththe Richardson Hall, probablyunbeknown to most of itspatrons, the bar was formerlya crypt with a hard earth floor.

Over 35 years have passed since the bulldozers were called off. The original working party (David and Stephanie

Richardson, Cllr. John Leach, David Reid, CllrEric Ferris, Cllr Joe Lennon, Cllr Gwladys Paine,Cllr Alec Greenway Stanley and Fred Cleary)would all be proud of what their hard workand the work of the many who followed hasachieved.

The centre is managed by the Deal andWalmer Community Association charity andhas grown to host a number of events andrun scores of activities that aim to cater foreveryone in the town.

Acting Secretary of the charity, Gill Spensley ispassionate about the centre: “It’s all about bringing the community together and benefiting everyone through education andrecreation. This isn’t happening anywhere

f that is the case, White CliffsCountry U3A (the University ofthe Third Age) is the associationfor you. Disregard the rather

grandiose title: with members in Deal, Doverand Sandwich and their associated villages,we embrace a wide local community.

Until 2012, most of our activities were concentrated in the Deal area but over thelast 12 months we undertook a campaign thatwe called “Triangulation” to increase ourmembership in Dover and Sandwich and startto have more activities there. And as this waswell-received, our 2013-2014 Programme willhave monthly events regularly in each of thethree towns on an alternating basis.

There are more than 800 U3As in the UnitedKingdom; this year, the annual conference ofour parent organisation “The Third AgeTrust” takes as its theme “Learn, Laugh andLive”; a sentiment that we have applied to ouractivities for many years.

We have an annual programme of low-costhigh-value courses run by leaders from ourown membership. Our courses are informal -no classroom pressures or compulsory homework - often small groups meet in theLeader’s home; larger groups use externalvenues. There is a wide range of subjects toenjoy. Or perhaps you are a potential

member who could lead a subject on yourspecial interest?

Other activities include monthly events withpresentations, talks by external speakers, andtopical debates on both serious and provocative subjects; added to this our socialactivities are open to members and theirguests. And we have access to exclusivenational U3A events in various locationsacross the country, such as films of live relaysof theatre/opera, study days, cultural and scientific workshops and concerts.

Our yearly progamme of events runs from 01April 2013-31 March 2014. Our annual membership fee is £12.00 and £1.50 is themodest charge made for each course session.

You can find out more about membership by looking at our website or ringing 01304 852724. Once you know more youwill want to join us!

EAS (South East ArtistS) is a selffunding and voluntary organisation which promotes, supports and provides a network

for our vibrant artistic community in Deal andsurrounding areas. It was established in 2004by a few artists and now has a membership of over 60 people, ranging from professionalartists to those who are just interested in the arts.

For the past 7 years SEAS has organised adynamic and diverse Open Studios/ Art Trailevent featuring new work by professional andamateur artists during the Deal Festival ofMusic and Arts. This has partly been inresponse to the fact there is no central galleryspace in Deal so artists have been creativeand opened their own houses to exhibit theirwork and engage with the public. Sculpture,paintings, conceptual art, screen prints, jewellery, photography, ceramics, textiles,fused glass are all part of these eclectic, festive occasions. Deal is becoming a magnetfor visitors seeking arts and crafts, however italso highlights the fact that we need morespaces for art exhibitions and displays.

Open Studios is perhaps our most importantevent as not only does it show the high qualityof work being created in Deal but it also provides a strong network of interactionbetween artists and different people in thecommunity. Many creative opportunities havedeveloped through these networks.

This year we have three recent art graduatesexhibiting at our Astor OS/Art Trail locationwhich is an exciting new venture.

SEAS has developed an educational role making links with community groups such asHeadway, Sure Start, Golf Road CommunityCentre, Kent Adult Education and localschools and libraries. SEAS artists have ledsuccessful and enjoyable workshops anddemonstrations with these organisations.

We have also organised exhibitions, Christmasfairs, market stalls throughout East Kent andpeople have become familiar with our reputation, logo and banners as symbols ofgood design.

So look out for us this summer with ourcolourful banners of turquoise, blue, greenand purple. We might even appear in a popup gallery!

To find out more about us and the individualSEAS artists look on our websitewww.searts.co.uk and on facebook.

the UK and a handful in mainland Europe.

What would you say makes your business different from your competitors?Honesty.

8 slices readyin 11/2 hours,plus chilling

Perfect for a simple lunch orfor an early summer picnic thissavoury pie has a really richand buttery crisp pastry and atasty smoked bacon and onionfilling. It tastes just as deliciouswarm or cold. Look for packsof smoked bacon pieces nearthe bacon rashers in the super-market or use flavoursomeItalian diced pancetta instead.

THE PASTRY225g plain flour1 tsp mustard powderPinch of salt115g butter, chilled and diced4-5 tbsp iced waterFOR THE FILLING175g smoked bacon pieces4 onions, peeled and thinly sliced1 tbsp sunflower oil200g mature Cheddar cheese, gratedBeaten egg, to glazeTomato salad, to serve (see Tip)

1. To make the pastry, sift the flour into alarge bowl and stir in the mustard powderand salt. Add the diced butter and rub intothe flour between your fingertips until themixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

2. Stir in enough of the iced water with around bladed knife to mix to a crumblydough. Knead very lightly until just smooththen flatten into a disc and wrap in cling film.Chill for 20-25 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling.Dry-fry the bacon pieces in a largenon-stick frying pan for 4-5 minutesuntil just golden. Remove with aslotted spoon and set aside. Addthe oil and sliced onions to the panand fry gently, stirring occasionally,for about 15 minutes until theonions are very tender and palegolden. Leave to cool. Preheat the

oven to 190°C, 375°F, Gas Mark 5. Place abaking sheet in the oven to heat up.

4. Roll out just over half the pastry on a lightlyfloured surface and use to line a 20x30cmloose-based fluted flan tin. Layer the bacon,onions and grated cheese in the pastry caseand season between the layers with freshlyground black pepper.

5. Roll out the rest of the pastry and use tocover the filling. Seal the edges of the pastrywith water then pinch them tightly togetherwith fingertips. Trim off any excess pastry.

6. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg andpierce 3-4 holes in the top of the pie to allowthe steam to escape. Bake on the hot bakingsheet for 25-30 minutes until the pastry iscrisp and golden. Serve warm or cold withtomato salad, if liked.

uckily most of our Deal gardens arenot directly exposed to sea winds. Buthow do we choose plants for gardenswhere the shingle may not be far from

the surface, so the soil is very free draining, andareas where delicate leaves may get damaged bysalt in the air?

The good news is that many of our best lovedgarden plants can cope. Choose shrubs with anevergreen, shiny leaf cover which will protect theinside of the leaf from desiccating salt. Shrubsinclude hollies, flowering Escallonias, Cistus (rockroses) and the blue flowering Ceanothus. Plantswith tiny leaves like rosemary, lavender or cottonlavender (Santolinia) and tamarisk also managewell and thrive in open, sunny sites. If you haveshady corners of the garden, consider planting

Skimmia, fuchias and hebes.

Seek out plants with grey or felty surfaces as theymanage in dry conditions and when you are unable towater. Look for grey grasses (Festuca glauca), or SeaHolly (eryngium) and Verbena with its tall stems andviolet flowers. Some grey plants have soft, hairy surfaceswhich keep off salt and drying winds, like lamb’sears (stachys) or pasque flowers (Pulsatilla) and yellowflowering Phlomis. Other options are the numerousvarieties of sedums, with their succulent leaves orplants with maritima or littoralis in their names.

Plant before the summer, and remember to waterwhen dry to give the plants their best start for asuccessful coastal garden!
