A NOTE FROM THE EDITORHello readers and welcome to the October issue of The Yateley Online Magazine This month we wanted to turn our attention to activity in the local community so this month we bring you a magazine entirely dedicated to local content
But first we have an announcement from the Yateley Online Magazine team It is with great sadness that this will be the last issue of the magazine This decision was not made lightly and we will greatly miss the work and relationships we have made within the Yateley Community
We have made no secret of the fact that we run the magazine as a community interest and we run a separate business as our main income Due to the quick growth of the business we are no longer able to give the magazine the time and dedication it needs We want to say a huge thank you to all of our contributors advertisers and everyone within the community who has supported us in the creation and growth of the magazine We would not have been able to do it without you and you have our sincerest thanks

Local Musician Turned Rising Star
7 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley is a town just bursting with talent and now local singer songwriter Henry Fricker is the next of our rising stars Henry tells us about his musical journeylsquoMy name is Henry Fricker an 18 year old singer- songwriter and pianist from Yateley Hampshire I grew up in Yateley attending Westfieldrsquos Junior School Yateley School and Farnborough Sixth Form College
During my time at Yateley School I played a large role in the music department- expressing my passion for music and performing through numerous live performances and taking part in the majority of events put on under direction and guidance of the head of the music department Tanja Pejović In 2010 I started taking piano lessons after a natural attraction and flare for the instrument having the intention to have the ability to be able to play songs that I had heard and loved by my biggest musical influences Since then I have flourished on the piano and musically solidifying the aim for a career within music and the music industry starting to write play and sing my own songs since 2012
After 5 years at Yateley School I decided to study my A-Levels at The Sixth Form College Farnborough one of which was Music Technology Within this course I developed my current music ability and expertise whilst learning many new skills within the recording and production of music This enhanced my passion for music as I was learning lots about what happens behind-the-scenes of music production within studios creating lots of recordings and working
within the on-site recording studio Whilst at Farnborough I decided to take hold of my music ability and start work on aiming for a music career becoming more confident to perform my original compositions to my peers and audience members who gave me a good reception This boosted my confidence that I had
the rare ability to write songs and connect with strangers through my lyrics and music I have pursued music as a solo artist with only my voice my songs the piano and my fierce determination and ambition
I have recently been in contact with InSound Studios based in Woking and recorded a cover and one of my original songs ldquoSelf Independencerdquo as part of their InSound InSessions which was filmed and broadcasted on their Youtube channel After being in contact with the producer of InSound Studios Jack Wells he showed an interest in working with me to develop my music career further and making the most of my talent as a solo artist I was lucky enough to be offered a recording contract with InSound Media and on 1st July 2015 I signed Together we are currently working on a single that we aim to release later this year which will be available to purchase download and enjoy It is coming along very nicely and I am so excited for the releasersquo

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church
14 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Sophie is ecstatic when she discovers she is pregnant the day the old vicar dies Is this a sign
Vikki is the harassed vicarrsquos wife and mother of three lively children She thinks life is chaotic enough but then she finds a lump in her breast
As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo

Mark Clarke of Mark Clarke PhotographylsquoReally good local networking event Well-arranged and full of great local businesses The funds also go to charity so itrsquos win win Come alongrsquo
We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

7 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley is a town just bursting with talent and now local singer songwriter Henry Fricker is the next of our rising stars Henry tells us about his musical journeylsquoMy name is Henry Fricker an 18 year old singer- songwriter and pianist from Yateley Hampshire I grew up in Yateley attending Westfieldrsquos Junior School Yateley School and Farnborough Sixth Form College
During my time at Yateley School I played a large role in the music department- expressing my passion for music and performing through numerous live performances and taking part in the majority of events put on under direction and guidance of the head of the music department Tanja Pejović In 2010 I started taking piano lessons after a natural attraction and flare for the instrument having the intention to have the ability to be able to play songs that I had heard and loved by my biggest musical influences Since then I have flourished on the piano and musically solidifying the aim for a career within music and the music industry starting to write play and sing my own songs since 2012
After 5 years at Yateley School I decided to study my A-Levels at The Sixth Form College Farnborough one of which was Music Technology Within this course I developed my current music ability and expertise whilst learning many new skills within the recording and production of music This enhanced my passion for music as I was learning lots about what happens behind-the-scenes of music production within studios creating lots of recordings and working
within the on-site recording studio Whilst at Farnborough I decided to take hold of my music ability and start work on aiming for a music career becoming more confident to perform my original compositions to my peers and audience members who gave me a good reception This boosted my confidence that I had
the rare ability to write songs and connect with strangers through my lyrics and music I have pursued music as a solo artist with only my voice my songs the piano and my fierce determination and ambition
I have recently been in contact with InSound Studios based in Woking and recorded a cover and one of my original songs ldquoSelf Independencerdquo as part of their InSound InSessions which was filmed and broadcasted on their Youtube channel After being in contact with the producer of InSound Studios Jack Wells he showed an interest in working with me to develop my music career further and making the most of my talent as a solo artist I was lucky enough to be offered a recording contract with InSound Media and on 1st July 2015 I signed Together we are currently working on a single that we aim to release later this year which will be available to purchase download and enjoy It is coming along very nicely and I am so excited for the releasersquo

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church

As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

A NOTE FROM THE EDITORHello readers and welcome to the October issue of The Yateley Online Magazine This month we wanted to turn our attention to activity in the local community so this month we bring you a magazine entirely dedicated to local content
But first we have an announcement from the Yateley Online Magazine team It is with great sadness that this will be the last issue of the magazine This decision was not made lightly and we will greatly miss the work and relationships we have made within the Yateley Community
We have made no secret of the fact that we run the magazine as a community interest and we run a separate business as our main income Due to the quick growth of the business we are no longer able to give the magazine the time and dedication it needs We want to say a huge thank you to all of our contributors advertisers and everyone within the community who has supported us in the creation and growth of the magazine We would not have been able to do it without you and you have our sincerest thanks
Itrsquos been a great 2 years and we will miss it

Local Musician Turned Rising Star
7 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley is a town just bursting with talent and now local singer songwriter Henry Fricker is the next of our rising stars Henry tells us about his musical journeylsquoMy name is Henry Fricker an 18 year old singer- songwriter and pianist from Yateley Hampshire I grew up in Yateley attending Westfieldrsquos Junior School Yateley School and Farnborough Sixth Form College
During my time at Yateley School I played a large role in the music department- expressing my passion for music and performing through numerous live performances and taking part in the majority of events put on under direction and guidance of the head of the music department Tanja Pejović In 2010 I started taking piano lessons after a natural attraction and flare for the instrument having the intention to have the ability to be able to play songs that I had heard and loved by my biggest musical influences Since then I have flourished on the piano and musically solidifying the aim for a career within music and the music industry starting to write play and sing my own songs since 2012
After 5 years at Yateley School I decided to study my A-Levels at The Sixth Form College Farnborough one of which was Music Technology Within this course I developed my current music ability and expertise whilst learning many new skills within the recording and production of music This enhanced my passion for music as I was learning lots about what happens behind-the-scenes of music production within studios creating lots of recordings and working
within the on-site recording studio Whilst at Farnborough I decided to take hold of my music ability and start work on aiming for a music career becoming more confident to perform my original compositions to my peers and audience members who gave me a good reception This boosted my confidence that I had
the rare ability to write songs and connect with strangers through my lyrics and music I have pursued music as a solo artist with only my voice my songs the piano and my fierce determination and ambition
I have recently been in contact with InSound Studios based in Woking and recorded a cover and one of my original songs ldquoSelf Independencerdquo as part of their InSound InSessions which was filmed and broadcasted on their Youtube channel After being in contact with the producer of InSound Studios Jack Wells he showed an interest in working with me to develop my music career further and making the most of my talent as a solo artist I was lucky enough to be offered a recording contract with InSound Media and on 1st July 2015 I signed Together we are currently working on a single that we aim to release later this year which will be available to purchase download and enjoy It is coming along very nicely and I am so excited for the releasersquo

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church

Sophie is ecstatic when she discovers she is pregnant the day the old vicar dies Is this a sign
Vikki is the harassed vicarrsquos wife and mother of three lively children She thinks life is chaotic enough but then she finds a lump in her breast
As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo

Mark Clarke of Mark Clarke PhotographylsquoReally good local networking event Well-arranged and full of great local businesses The funds also go to charity so itrsquos win win Come alongrsquo
We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd
A big thank you to Sandhurst Bakery for supplying the pastries to compliment the refreshments at each meeting

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

7 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley is a town just bursting with talent and now local singer songwriter Henry Fricker is the next of our rising stars Henry tells us about his musical journeylsquoMy name is Henry Fricker an 18 year old singer- songwriter and pianist from Yateley Hampshire I grew up in Yateley attending Westfieldrsquos Junior School Yateley School and Farnborough Sixth Form College
During my time at Yateley School I played a large role in the music department- expressing my passion for music and performing through numerous live performances and taking part in the majority of events put on under direction and guidance of the head of the music department Tanja Pejović In 2010 I started taking piano lessons after a natural attraction and flare for the instrument having the intention to have the ability to be able to play songs that I had heard and loved by my biggest musical influences Since then I have flourished on the piano and musically solidifying the aim for a career within music and the music industry starting to write play and sing my own songs since 2012
After 5 years at Yateley School I decided to study my A-Levels at The Sixth Form College Farnborough one of which was Music Technology Within this course I developed my current music ability and expertise whilst learning many new skills within the recording and production of music This enhanced my passion for music as I was learning lots about what happens behind-the-scenes of music production within studios creating lots of recordings and working
within the on-site recording studio Whilst at Farnborough I decided to take hold of my music ability and start work on aiming for a music career becoming more confident to perform my original compositions to my peers and audience members who gave me a good reception This boosted my confidence that I had
the rare ability to write songs and connect with strangers through my lyrics and music I have pursued music as a solo artist with only my voice my songs the piano and my fierce determination and ambition
I have recently been in contact with InSound Studios based in Woking and recorded a cover and one of my original songs ldquoSelf Independencerdquo as part of their InSound InSessions which was filmed and broadcasted on their Youtube channel After being in contact with the producer of InSound Studios Jack Wells he showed an interest in working with me to develop my music career further and making the most of my talent as a solo artist I was lucky enough to be offered a recording contract with InSound Media and on 1st July 2015 I signed Together we are currently working on a single that we aim to release later this year which will be available to purchase download and enjoy It is coming along very nicely and I am so excited for the releasersquo

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church

As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

Local Musician Turned Rising Star
7 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley is a town just bursting with talent and now local singer songwriter Henry Fricker is the next of our rising stars Henry tells us about his musical journeylsquoMy name is Henry Fricker an 18 year old singer- songwriter and pianist from Yateley Hampshire I grew up in Yateley attending Westfieldrsquos Junior School Yateley School and Farnborough Sixth Form College
During my time at Yateley School I played a large role in the music department- expressing my passion for music and performing through numerous live performances and taking part in the majority of events put on under direction and guidance of the head of the music department Tanja Pejović In 2010 I started taking piano lessons after a natural attraction and flare for the instrument having the intention to have the ability to be able to play songs that I had heard and loved by my biggest musical influences Since then I have flourished on the piano and musically solidifying the aim for a career within music and the music industry starting to write play and sing my own songs since 2012
After 5 years at Yateley School I decided to study my A-Levels at The Sixth Form College Farnborough one of which was Music Technology Within this course I developed my current music ability and expertise whilst learning many new skills within the recording and production of music This enhanced my passion for music as I was learning lots about what happens behind-the-scenes of music production within studios creating lots of recordings and working
within the on-site recording studio Whilst at Farnborough I decided to take hold of my music ability and start work on aiming for a music career becoming more confident to perform my original compositions to my peers and audience members who gave me a good reception This boosted my confidence that I had
the rare ability to write songs and connect with strangers through my lyrics and music I have pursued music as a solo artist with only my voice my songs the piano and my fierce determination and ambition
I have recently been in contact with InSound Studios based in Woking and recorded a cover and one of my original songs ldquoSelf Independencerdquo as part of their InSound InSessions which was filmed and broadcasted on their Youtube channel After being in contact with the producer of InSound Studios Jack Wells he showed an interest in working with me to develop my music career further and making the most of my talent as a solo artist I was lucky enough to be offered a recording contract with InSound Media and on 1st July 2015 I signed Together we are currently working on a single that we aim to release later this year which will be available to purchase download and enjoy It is coming along very nicely and I am so excited for the releasersquo

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church

Sophie is ecstatic when she discovers she is pregnant the day the old vicar dies Is this a sign
Vikki is the harassed vicarrsquos wife and mother of three lively children She thinks life is chaotic enough but then she finds a lump in her breast
As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo
22 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015

Mark Clarke of Mark Clarke PhotographylsquoReally good local networking event Well-arranged and full of great local businesses The funds also go to charity so itrsquos win win Come alongrsquo
We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd
A big thank you to Sandhurst Bakery for supplying the pastries to compliment the refreshments at each meeting

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

Local Musician Turned Rising Star
7 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley is a town just bursting with talent and now local singer songwriter Henry Fricker is the next of our rising stars Henry tells us about his musical journeylsquoMy name is Henry Fricker an 18 year old singer- songwriter and pianist from Yateley Hampshire I grew up in Yateley attending Westfieldrsquos Junior School Yateley School and Farnborough Sixth Form College
During my time at Yateley School I played a large role in the music department- expressing my passion for music and performing through numerous live performances and taking part in the majority of events put on under direction and guidance of the head of the music department Tanja Pejović In 2010 I started taking piano lessons after a natural attraction and flare for the instrument having the intention to have the ability to be able to play songs that I had heard and loved by my biggest musical influences Since then I have flourished on the piano and musically solidifying the aim for a career within music and the music industry starting to write play and sing my own songs since 2012
After 5 years at Yateley School I decided to study my A-Levels at The Sixth Form College Farnborough one of which was Music Technology Within this course I developed my current music ability and expertise whilst learning many new skills within the recording and production of music This enhanced my passion for music as I was learning lots about what happens behind-the-scenes of music production within studios creating lots of recordings and working
within the on-site recording studio Whilst at Farnborough I decided to take hold of my music ability and start work on aiming for a music career becoming more confident to perform my original compositions to my peers and audience members who gave me a good reception This boosted my confidence that I had
the rare ability to write songs and connect with strangers through my lyrics and music I have pursued music as a solo artist with only my voice my songs the piano and my fierce determination and ambition
I have recently been in contact with InSound Studios based in Woking and recorded a cover and one of my original songs ldquoSelf Independencerdquo as part of their InSound InSessions which was filmed and broadcasted on their Youtube channel After being in contact with the producer of InSound Studios Jack Wells he showed an interest in working with me to develop my music career further and making the most of my talent as a solo artist I was lucky enough to be offered a recording contract with InSound Media and on 1st July 2015 I signed Together we are currently working on a single that we aim to release later this year which will be available to purchase download and enjoy It is coming along very nicely and I am so excited for the releasersquo

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church

Sophie is ecstatic when she discovers she is pregnant the day the old vicar dies Is this a sign
Vikki is the harassed vicarrsquos wife and mother of three lively children She thinks life is chaotic enough but then she finds a lump in her breast
As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo

We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd
A big thank you to Sandhurst Bakery for supplying the pastries to compliment the refreshments at each meeting

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

Yateley is a town just bursting with talent and now local singer songwriter Henry Fricker is the next of our rising stars Henry tells us about his musical journeylsquoMy name is Henry Fricker an 18 year old singer- songwriter and pianist from Yateley Hampshire I grew up in Yateley attending Westfieldrsquos Junior School Yateley School and Farnborough Sixth Form College
During my time at Yateley School I played a large role in the music department- expressing my passion for music and performing through numerous live performances and taking part in the majority of events put on under direction and guidance of the head of the music department Tanja Pejović In 2010 I started taking piano lessons after a natural attraction and flare for the instrument having the intention to have the ability to be able to play songs that I had heard and loved by my biggest musical influences Since then I have flourished on the piano and musically solidifying the aim for a career within music and the music industry starting to write play and sing my own songs since 2012
After 5 years at Yateley School I decided to study my A-Levels at The Sixth Form College Farnborough one of which was Music Technology Within this course I developed my current music ability and expertise whilst learning many new skills within the recording and production of music This enhanced my passion for music as I was learning lots about what happens behind-the-scenes of music production within studios creating lots of recordings and working
within the on-site recording studio Whilst at Farnborough I decided to take hold of my music ability and start work on aiming for a music career becoming more confident to perform my original compositions to my peers and audience members who gave me a good reception This boosted my confidence that I had
the rare ability to write songs and connect with strangers through my lyrics and music I have pursued music as a solo artist with only my voice my songs the piano and my fierce determination and ambition
I have recently been in contact with InSound Studios based in Woking and recorded a cover and one of my original songs ldquoSelf Independencerdquo as part of their InSound InSessions which was filmed and broadcasted on their Youtube channel After being in contact with the producer of InSound Studios Jack Wells he showed an interest in working with me to develop my music career further and making the most of my talent as a solo artist I was lucky enough to be offered a recording contract with InSound Media and on 1st July 2015 I signed Together we are currently working on a single that we aim to release later this year which will be available to purchase download and enjoy It is coming along very nicely and I am so excited for the releasersquo

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church

Sophie is ecstatic when she discovers she is pregnant the day the old vicar dies Is this a sign
Vikki is the harassed vicarrsquos wife and mother of three lively children She thinks life is chaotic enough but then she finds a lump in her breast
As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo
22 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Fiona Barnes of Fiona Barnes Coaching lsquoGreat local event For the morning sessions even though itrsquos early itrsquos informal and informative good collaboration amp connections Well worth the early startrsquo
Mark Clarke of Mark Clarke PhotographylsquoReally good local networking event Well-arranged and full of great local businesses The funds also go to charity so itrsquos win win Come alongrsquo
We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd
A big thank you to Sandhurst Bakery for supplying the pastries to compliment the refreshments at each meeting

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church

Sophie is ecstatic when she discovers she is pregnant the day the old vicar dies Is this a sign
Vikki is the harassed vicarrsquos wife and mother of three lively children She thinks life is chaotic enough but then she finds a lump in her breast
As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo

We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd
A big thank you to Sandhurst Bakery for supplying the pastries to compliment the refreshments at each meeting

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church

What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers

What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo

We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church

Sophie is ecstatic when she discovers she is pregnant the day the old vicar dies Is this a sign
Vikki is the harassed vicarrsquos wife and mother of three lively children She thinks life is chaotic enough but then she finds a lump in her breast
As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo
22 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015

Mark Clarke of Mark Clarke PhotographylsquoReally good local networking event Well-arranged and full of great local businesses The funds also go to charity so itrsquos win win Come alongrsquo
We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd
A big thank you to Sandhurst Bakery for supplying the pastries to compliment the refreshments at each meeting

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church
14 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Sophie is ecstatic when she discovers she is pregnant the day the old vicar dies Is this a sign
Vikki is the harassed vicarrsquos wife and mother of three lively children She thinks life is chaotic enough but then she finds a lump in her breast
As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

FAITH UNDER FIRE An Interview With Annie Watkinson
13 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church

Sophie is ecstatic when she discovers she is pregnant the day the old vicar dies Is this a sign
Vikki is the harassed vicarrsquos wife and mother of three lively children She thinks life is chaotic enough but then she finds a lump in her breast
As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo
22 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Fiona Barnes of Fiona Barnes Coaching lsquoGreat local event For the morning sessions even though itrsquos early itrsquos informal and informative good collaboration amp connections Well worth the early startrsquo
Mark Clarke of Mark Clarke PhotographylsquoReally good local networking event Well-arranged and full of great local businesses The funds also go to charity so itrsquos win win Come alongrsquo
We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd
A big thank you to Sandhurst Bakery for supplying the pastries to compliment the refreshments at each meeting

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

Local Yateley resident Annie Watkinson has been enjoying her time in the spotlight with the debut of her first novel ndash Faith Under Fire We had a chat with Annie about her book and what inspired such a tragic and beautiful storyline
About Faith Under Fire
A dark prologue which just maybe gives the reader the general idea of the story line but in Annie Watkinsonrsquos Faith under Fire English village life centred on its church opens up a story that you canrsquot put down
Kate Hartwood a spinster at the age of thirty-five seeks to reinvent herself and her life by escaping from a good career and a smothering home life to a country cottage bequeathed to her by an aunt The quiet village of Ashton Kirby is the setting and Katersquos life is set to change by means of a job advert in the local post office
Initially the perfect chocolate box scene is set the village is a close and happy community but changes are abound and race along at a pace that is almost breathless Peoplersquos lives are brilliantly and cleverly intertwined with a true typical village lifestyle but remains faithful to the support of the community Annie is the author of a poetry anthology Listen to My Heart After studying mental health nursing at the University of Southampton she had to give up after suffering serious illness including a diagnosis of breast cancer This led her to spend more time writing as a freelance journalist and enjoying her family This is her first novel
Can you tell us a bit about your book
Faith Under Fire follows the trials and tribulations of three young women as tragedies alter their lives irrevocably Soon the whole village finds that the ripples caused by one tragedy have repercussions for everyone in ways that no one could have anticipated
Kate tries to find peace by leaving the City and taking a post in a tranquil village church

Sophie is ecstatic when she discovers she is pregnant the day the old vicar dies Is this a sign
Vikki is the harassed vicarrsquos wife and mother of three lively children She thinks life is chaotic enough but then she finds a lump in her breast
As for Josh he is the all-singing all-dancing vicar who holds the village in his hands and offers succour and comfort to all Until he loses his wife closely followed by his faith
How do you cope when everything falls apart Find out how laughter and tears healed a community
What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers
15 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo

We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd
A big thank you to Sandhurst Bakery for supplying the pastries to compliment the refreshments at each meeting

In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie

Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

What inspired you to write Faith Under Fire
I have been writing stories and poetry since I was a child I do not have a choice as lines for poems and stories keep me awake at night until I get them down on paper (or the iPad nowadays) Due to ill health I had to give up work and so I started working as a freelance writer Originally it was for nursing journals and then I also branched out to my other passion crafting I have written for many craft magazines and had a regular column for over eighteen months I also wrote and published a poetry anthology entitled lsquoListen To My Heartrsquo But lsquoFaith Under Firersquo has been trickling away for several years I used to write a bit of it and then leave it for a few months before having to go back to the beginning to remember who was who
How did living in Yateley influence your writing
The quiet fictional village of Ashton Kirby is based on the epicentre of Yateley Although now a so-called town and expanded so much throughout the last four decades what fascinates me is the close proximity of church health centre retirement home and undertakers With its village green the centre of Yateley still has the trappings of a village and this is how my story starts
I have lived in Yateley for nearly forty years and during that time I have witnessed first-hand the devastation of St Peterrsquos church and how it affected the whole community Although it was a long time ago it still haunts me when I walk through the alleyways leading to the church and I can fully remember the acrid smell sight and sounds of that ruined building and the stunned disbelief of the onlookers

What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions

some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

What sort of challenges have you faced both in writing and publication of your debut novel
As I previously stated writing over a long period of time does mean a lot of backtracking and re-reading and so I set myself the task of finishing the novel in a month It was an amazingly liberating experience and the story started to write itself and go off at tangents I would never have expected Obviously I then had a lot of editing and rewriting to do but at least I knew the whole tale now and I could start the laborious task of sending my manuscript off to various agents and publishers It took four years and many many rejection slips and I was on the verge of giving up with this particular book but suddenly I had three publishers all within the space of a month offering me a contract
Is there anyone you would like to thank or mention
As well as writing my book I have had to deal with having an aggressive form of breast cancer and I have undergone spinal surgery many times as well as other health issues Writing this book would have been impossible without the love and support of my incredible husband Mike and my three children Joanna and Rebecca were my first readers and helped me shape the novel and my son Ian did the artwork for the cover He was able to understand exactly how I wanted the cover to be and I think he has caught the atmosphere of my novel perfectly
And of course whatrsquos next
Oh I am very excited about my next book It is set in both Dorset and Romania Ruby and Charlie are three year old twins when Ruby vanishes from the busy Bournemouth beach She has been stolen to order by Romanian gypsies and is off across the border at Harwich before the police are even able to set up roadblocks The story is set just after the fall of Ceausescu and the rich childless couple do not want to risk adopting a Romanian orphan because of the risk of AIDS and poor mental health of the abandoned children So Ruby grows up as Dumitra and Charlie his parents and his siblings have to grow up without their sister
Twenty two years later Dumitra and Charlie meet in unexpected circumstances never knowing they are twins So far I have the title of lsquoThe Missing Piecersquo but this may well change

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo
22 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Fiona Barnes of Fiona Barnes Coaching lsquoGreat local event For the morning sessions even though itrsquos early itrsquos informal and informative good collaboration amp connections Well worth the early startrsquo
Mark Clarke of Mark Clarke PhotographylsquoReally good local networking event Well-arranged and full of great local businesses The funds also go to charity so itrsquos win win Come alongrsquo
We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd
A big thank you to Sandhurst Bakery for supplying the pastries to compliment the refreshments at each meeting

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo

We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo
22 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015

Mark Clarke of Mark Clarke PhotographylsquoReally good local networking event Well-arranged and full of great local businesses The funds also go to charity so itrsquos win win Come alongrsquo
We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd
A big thank you to Sandhurst Bakery for supplying the pastries to compliment the refreshments at each meeting

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

CELEBRATING 1 YEAROf Yateley Netwking
20 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

Yateley Networking was born on 1st October 2014 and is just about to celebrate its first year of running But what is Yateley Networking all aboutThe Yateley Networking event was established by Tara and Karen from Abstract Print amp Design They decided to start up this networking group for Yateley and local areas to Yateley because in attending other networking groups leading up to the launch of Abstract a year and a half ago it became apparent that there were not any groups in the Blackwater or Yateley area
The event takes place at Yateley Industries which is a charity in Yateley that provides employment and training for people with disabilities This was chosen as the venue because it is of special significance to the Abstract team Karen had worked there for 21 years before joining Abstract and felt it was central to Yateley and that the networking event could in turn support this charity So bringing these two elements together this would result in promoting businesses in the local area and enable them to network and also promote Yateley Industries and inform the local community to what they do and how the community and local businesses may be able to support this charity
Yateley Industries for the Disabled have been making a difference to disabled and vulnerable people for over 75 years At Yateley Industries the aim is to encourage each individual to fulfil his or her own potential both in the home and at work and to promote independence This is achieved by providing paid meaningful employment in our supported factory and assisted accommodation where desirable wwwyateleyindustriescouk Yateley Industries also have a voluntary fundraising group Supporters of the DAY Appeal (Disabled at Yateley) They were initially established to help support the charity in maintaining the residential accommodation Along with this their aim is also to enhance the social aspect of the disabled clientrsquos lives by organising and subsidising activities and outings This all plays a part in encouraging the clients to build confidence and social interaction The group is formed mainly of the clientrsquos relatives and associates of Yateley Industries who meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan their annual events
The type of events that take place both on site and externally include Race nights Skittles Barbecues Seasonal discos Games afternoons Leisure trips and activities (Museum Theatre etc) and Warner Leisure weekends Although some of the above are just for social occasions
21 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
some events help to fundraise by ticket sales and raffle draws Other ways that SODA raise funds include Jumble sales Local fairs and Recycling
There is always opportunity for new volunteers to join the group and this can be done by contacting Tara or Karen through wwwyateleynetworkingcouk or on 01252 690143
The morning networking events started on the 1st October 2014 and with its continued success a quarterly evening event has been started Both meetings are for all local businesses to connect and exchange knowledge at the same time as supporting each other
Morning Event
NO membership and NO need to book Just turn up and pay pound5 each month to cover the venue and light refreshments including freshly baked pastries from Sandhurst Bakery It starts with open networking then a 10 minute speaker will give their presentation each month followed by a one minute introduction round for all attendees to then go back into relaxed networking
Evening Event
This is held in the restaurant La Galleria providing a relaxed and sociable environment to network with other local businesses La Galleria provides refreshments and there are opportunities for all businesses to introduce themselves to the group Tickets are pound10 which includes refreshments and use of the venue
After any costs are taken out the remaining proceeds are donated to Yateley Industries and fed back into the charity
If you are not sure if this is for you then here are some testimonials from a few of our frequent attendees
Liz Guthrie of Liz Guthrie Beauty lsquoFriendly and informal network I have made both business contacts and friends from Yateley networking itrsquos at a great time for an early start that doesnrsquot eat in to the working day Highly recommendedrsquo
22 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015

We would like to thank Yateley Industries for providing the venue for the morning events and to La Galleria for the use of the restaurant for the evening events
Also thank you to Dani who is currently on the Work Choice Programme at Yateley Industries and attending Abstract Print and Design as a Work Experience Placement for setting up the Yateley Networking website along with the support of Cody from Blue Room IT Ltd
A big thank you to Sandhurst Bakery for supplying the pastries to compliment the refreshments at each meeting

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie

Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie

Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie

Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip

Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters

In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

As a local content marketing company and social media trainers Eleven Eight pose us an interesting question ndash is social media changing the way we behaveWe are now undoubtedly residing in the digital age and social media is one of the main platforms for conversation We have accounts for ourselves for our businesses our hobbies and even accounts for our pets all in the name of having conversations online But has this dominance of social media started changing the way we think Letrsquos examine some of the key influence pointshellip
33 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

Itrsquos Changed The Way We Talk
Have you ever said the word lsquoLOLrsquo out loud Did the word lsquoSelfiersquo even exist 5 years ago Maybe abbreviated sentences or cut out syllables to make things quicker to say Text speak and social media go together like green eggs and ham and itrsquos not surprising that itrsquos started to seep into our everyday language Whether itrsquos shortening words and sentences or simple adding new words to our vocabulary there is no denying social media is having a marked impact on the evolution of our language
Our Friendships Will Never Be The Same
In the good old days if you wanted to talk to your friends you picked up the phone or walked over to their house You waited to talk to them at school at work or down the pub on Friday night Whichever method you chose there was a personal connection involved and this included the audio and visual clues to good conversation that go along with it Now we message our friends online relying on little symbols called lsquoemojirsquosrsquo to show our emotions Almost everyone reading this will have at some point in their life misunderstood the meaning of a text because there were no physical clues to help them out A playful insult with a smile and wink in person can start a raging argument over text because there is no indicator that this is a joke We have also changed the way we value friendships If we have 300 friends on Facebook we count that as having loads of friends despite the fact that we havenrsquot seen or spoken to some of them in years Our friendships are now being measured more and more by the interaction we have on social media and not by the real life encounters
Anyone Can be An Expert
Thanks to the Internet and social media anyone with a keyboard can voice an opinion and expect it to be heard and worshiped by the online world Blogging sites are popping up like rabbits letting everyone have a voice We think this is fantastic ndash as it raises the profile of brilliant people who would never have a voice otherwise On the other hand it has created a mire of fraudsters bloggers of questionable character and downright idiots all of whom can sound convincing On the flip side of that coin it has made us very good at sniffing out bullshitters and understanding when something is fact and when it is opinion or just a downright lie
34 The Yateley Online Magazine | October 2015
Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago

Vanity Prevails
Think back even a few years ago Would you keep a photo album full of your own photos Hundreds of pictures of yourself pouting and posing trying to get the perfect shot No of course not But in the age of social media this is what we find ndash and it is reinforced with lsquolikesrsquo and lsquofollowersrsquo Networks like Instagram were developed to allow us to post pictures of ourselves our food and our cats all over the Internet and while this can be a bonding exercise for some it is pure vanity to others
Romantic Relationships Have Morphed
In the past if you wanted to go on a date your would ask a friend to set you up go to a singles bar or perhaps dip your toe into speed dating But with the Internet came the invention of online dating and the world was forever changed Wersquore not saying online dating is a new thing ndash itrsquos as old as the Internet but social media has rapidly changes the way we (particularly the young ones) are viewing relationships Tinder is one of the biggest culprits here ndash it created the dating-hook-up hybrid and opened up the doors for lsquocoolrsquo online dating for youths Profiles on online dating sites went through the roof and itrsquos not surprising that we can see changes in the way we view relationships Often now dating is just for passing fancies and quick flings not for settling down and finding lsquothe onersquo Itrsquos easy to forget that in a culture of instant gratification like social media relationships are broken as easily as theyrsquore forged
Now we arenrsquot the people to be bashing social media ndash we think itrsquos great It opens up new avenues for business helps you find lots loved ones reconnect with old friends and has inspired communities to band together in the interest of a common goal But it has undeniably changed the way we think and act and this has a knock on effect in the way we form relationships in our personal and business lives as well as the way we communicate with each other So next time you go to say lsquoselfiersquo stop and think ndash would I have said this 10 years ago
