The local magazine produced by local

people for the local community,

Guildford Undetected Tumour Screening (GUTS) was founded in 1983 by Professor Chris Marks, who recognised that early detection was key to im-proving bowel cancer survival rates. GUTS initiated one of the first bowel cancer mass screening pro-grammes in the UK, reaching 20,000 patients from 37 GP practices in the Guildford area in its first year.

Since then GUTS funding has been pivotal both in research to advance screening and detection, and in improving the care, treatment and outcomes for patients from across the south of England. Over the years GUTS has raised funds for numerous projects including a da Vinci Surgical Robot and a Genetic Analyser. GUTS-funded research projects published in medical journals have also contribut-ed to a better understanding of colorectal cancer.

One of their fundraisers was an annual Classic Car Rally, which was started by Sarah Grillo and ran

for 10 successful years, raising many thousands of pounds. Last year Sarah sadly announced her re-tirement and I’m pleased to say that your editor, along with three friends, has decided to take over the mantle.

Our first GUTS Motor Tour will be taking place this year on the 7th September 2014 and will run from Passfield, nr Liphook, Hants to the Brooklands Mo-tor Circuit. Although principly for ‘classic’ motor cars, more recent models will be considered for inclusion. The cost, including breakfast, is £60 for two people and the car.

At the time of writing, we have a few places left, so if any reader is interested in joining us, please con-tact us at [email protected] or call me on 01483 421601. It’s a great, fun event for a very worthwhile charity. For more information, please visit www.gutsfbc.co.uk/events.

POWER OFATTORNEY

Most couples make wills leaving everything to each other, but if the survivor ever needs care their life savings can

be decimated by care fees, HOWEVER by putting a protective trust in your will you can avoid this:

1. Divide the ownership of your home into two equal shares (tenants in common)

2. Makewills giving your share to the survivor on trust for life, so they can live there undisturbed as long as they need.

3. If the survivor goes into care half the property (at least) will be excluded from the local authority's assessment.

THE CARE FEE PROBLEM AND HOW TO SOLVE IT

New Farnham office opening in July.


Many thanks to everyone who has taken the trouble to email us with your kind comments; we love hearing from you. There seems to be as much going on as ever so hope you manage to get to some of the events and that you are all having a very enjoyable summer. As last month, the Jottings are in date order - we hope this makes for easier reading.

Guildford Summer Festival started on 20th June and continues through to Saturday 2nd August. It coincides with The Guildford Fringe Festival and I have highlighted some of those events in this month’s Jottings. There is literally something to do every day throughout July. There’s theatre, shows and concerts in venues such as The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, The Electric Theatre and G Live, a Fitness Festival at Surrey Sports Park and even a charity raft race on the River Wey. You can look at the brochure online at www.guildford.gov.uk/guildfordsummerfestival.

Godalming Quakers have a display at Godalming Museum until Saturday 5th July entitled Peacemakers in Wartime and Now. Have you ever wondered what happened to those who refused to fight in WWI? Read the real life stories of those who lived by Quaker values, investing in non-violence, reconciliation and peace-making throughout this period of conflict by becoming Conscientious Objectors, experiencing solitary

confinement, hard labour and sometimes execution, or serving in the Friend Ambulance Unit or Friends War Victims Relief Service. Read about the experiences of local people and the wider picture. Contact 01483 414767 or 01428 684061.

Guildford Rambling Club is meeting at 10.30am on Tuesday 1st July at Bramley (Old) Station for a five mile walk. See www.guildfordramblingclub.org.uk. Also, the club will be contributing walks to Walkfest on the 12th, 17th, 18th and the 27th of the month.

‘Freedom to Roam’ is a new exhibition by oil and acrylic painter, Stephen Hornsby-Smith. It takes place at The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation Gallery, 7 Saba House, Kings Road, Shalford GU4 8JU from Tuesday 1st to Thursday 31st July. The gallery is open Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm; entry is free. Browse and buy from this fabulous selection of wildlife oil paintings, posters and cards. All sales support endangered wildlife. For more information visit the website www.davidshepherd.org.

Ladies, have you ever thought about joining the WI? Ockford-Godalming Afternoon WI usually meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 2pm at the Scout & Guide Headquarters, Seymour Road, off Eashing Lane, Godalming. The next meeting will be on Wednesday 2nd July, when

Val Napier will be talking about ‘Osteoporosis – how can we care for our bones’. The group takes a break in August but regular monthly meetings will return in September with a talk by Jenny Nockolds on ‘Walking the Inca Trail to Macchu Pichu’. As well as regular meetings summer outings are arranged. There are social evenings, plus monthly local pub lunches, book reading evenings and regular art and craft sessions. If you would like to go along and join a friendly and lively group of ladies, contact the secretary on 01483 421433. You will be warmly welcomed.

Pilgrim Morris Men of Guildford will be dancing, playing and singing around the area throughout the summer, typically at a pub on a Wednesday evening from about 8pm. Have you thought about having a crack at it yourself? It’s good aerobic exercise as well as being fun. Although their practice and teaching season does not start until the autumn, you can go along and be a part of it during the dancing season. If you have an acoustic instrument, then take that with you as they often have a music session in the pub after the dancing. If you have danced the morris before then so much the better! During July they will be found at The Mill Tavern, Shottermill on Wednesday 2nd; The Saddler’s Arms, Send Marsh, followed by The Ship, Ripley, on Wednesday 9th; The Keystone, Guildford, followed by The Ship at St Catherine’s,

Body Shapeswith Kirstie Smillie

There are many fashion blogs written on body shape by a growing number of ‘fashion experts’, but in the end it always comes down to personal choice for your own lifestyle and your own unique body shape.

It’s easy to dress a size six model with minimal curves and firm body mass but for ‘real’ ladies, in spite of all the choices on the high street and on-line, there are restrictions to what suits your shape and wardrobe requirements.

Understanding your body shape is useful to aid the choice of garments as you trudge into that changing room. The reality is that most of us sit between two or maybe three shapes and we have to adjust the information to suit. If you know you have a fuller bust and that a lower neckline is preferable, just ignore those dresses that don’t fit the brief, but at the same time don’t let changeable details put you off. A full length sleeve can be altered to a shorter length, and a below knee hem can be shortened to sit just at the right point.

If you are fuller figured, avoid those younger brands that don’t allow for curves. Don’t waste

time when you know it’s not for you. But do be decisive in your initial selection. Write down a list of what you are actually looking for… three-quarter sleeve, not black, small print, v-neck.

Basic wardrobe additions can help. I have a large selection of fine gauge camisoles which are perfect to fill in a too-low neckline or add length to a top that is sitting just too uncomfortably above my waist. Personally I know that I am drawn to busy prints - they make me smile and I feel excited to wear them. Great tailoring, easy care, good quality fabrics all rate highly on my wish list, so I ignore any garments that don’t fit the bill.

We all make mistakes, but it is important to enjoy fashion and feel happy to put clothes on in the morning and feel the lift when you wearing the right styles for you, whatever the trend reports may be telling you.

So use this information as a tool to guide you, but not as strict rules that cannot be ignored. Next time you go shopping, start at the other end of town. Visit shops you would normally walk past. Get inspired by small details, like how it feels when you touch it? There should be an emotional link. Budget for the best you can afford, instead of lots of little bits that you think are just ok.

Hour glass Think of celebrities like Kelly Brook and Sophia Loren

V-neck dress and tailored waistcoat/Karen Millen

You have great curves all in the right places. * Elongate your upper body if you have a full bust; good bras are essential.* V-necks, single breasted jackets and tailoring will offer balance* Wide-legged trousers can add symmetry to curvy hips* Neat, waisted jackets and below knee pencil skirts show off your curves with sophistication* Avoid wearing baggy clothes that hide all your curves, think fitted.

FOODFASHION

Body ShapesYou have a lean figure with undefined curves.* Look at ‘girlie’ clothes with details like frills and ruffles.* Boat necks, slash necks and higher scoop necklines will add the illusion of a fuller bust, including scarves for neckline detail.* Gathered skirts and front pleated trousers add shape and volume* Avoid low necklines, and very skinny fitting garments, instead have fun with creative fashion layering or multi prints.

OblongThink of celebrities like Kate Moss and Kiera Knightly

You have curvy hips, thighs and bottom with a narrow top half.* Wear wide necklines, cowls and drapes* Colour on the top half and dark colours on the bottom. * Avoid skinny jeans; bootcut or boyfriend jeans work best.* Opt for wider tailored trousers showing your slim waist. * Fit and flare dresses and a-line skirts are the ideal feminine styles* Avoid tunics or jackets which finish at your widest point and will hide your upper body shape. Go for shorter, waisted styles or longer length

PearThink of celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé

You have fuller breasts with an undefined waist, often great legs.* Tunics over slim trousers; layer short over long with cardigans that finish at waist length to show waist definition.* Dresses with tummy drape details and v-necks will flatter and create curves.* Tapered sleeves will slim down the upper body* Opt for central prints instead of all over designs.* Avoid tucking in tops, instead layer looser tops over slim trousers.

Godalming Theatre Group is holding their 50th anniversary concert on Saturday 5th July at 7.30pm and Sunday 6th July at 7pm at The Ben Travers Theatre at Charterhouse School. The show will tell the story of GTG told through songs and narration from the very first production in 1964 to the present day reliving 50 years of entertainment. Directed by Keith Thomas and David Dray, musical direction is by Peter Roberts. Tickets are £15 and can be booked online at www.gtguk,com or by calling 01483 425556.

The Seale and Sands Summer Show is on Saturday July 5th at 1.30pm, and the theme this year is ‘Carnival’ - a

touch of Brazil is coming to the local area. The show has all the normal treats like the marquee full of local flowers, wonderful produce and terrific children’s art, plus the many exciting stalls, archery, the coconut shy and the vintage cars. Alongside these treats will be the central arena packed full of exciting activities to reflect the Carnival theme, including Limbo dancing, Samba dancing and a Carnival Queen and they will join the old favourites such as Drench the Wench, Prof Dumpling’s Punch and Judy, the Dog Disorder and delightful Maypole Dancing from the children of Barfield School. Highlight of the show will be the ‘Decorated Wheelbarrow Procession’, and it would be wonderful to have 60 or more wheelbarrows processing through the arena. Theme is Carnival, so suitable themes might include boats, dragons, fruit, spiders, palm trees, beach scenes, colourful clothing etc. If you Google ‘Decorated wheelbarrows’ budding wheelbarrowers may get some further ideas. It will be great fun so find the wheelbarrow, get decorating and join the procession, everyone is welcome.

Farncombe Music Club has two dates to note in July. On Sunday 6th July is Brian Player’s Acoustic Cafe at St. John’s Church Room, Farncombe. The whole event will be recorded and broadcast on presenter Brian’s internet-based Acoustic Cafe Radio Show, on which emerging artists are showcased alongside established performers. The show

is also syndicated to at least seven other internet radio stations and is accessed at www.brianplayermusic.wordpress.com. The show features three acts: Hicks and Goulbourn, a quintessential acoustic music duo (www.hicksandgoulbourn.com), Luke Jackson, a rising 19 year old Roots singer/songwriter from Canterbury, Kent (www.lukepauljackson.com) and Kara, a new band from Hertfordshire (www.fa c e b o o k . c o m / ka ra fo l k b a n d ) . Tickets are only £5 (advance / door). Doors open at 2pm with live music from 2.30pm until 5pm. Thursday 24th July sees Eve Selis plus special guests, Berkley Hart, at St John’s Church, Farncombe. This sounds like a very good concert indeed. “Playing here is a spiritual experience and the acoustics are amazing” enthuses San Diego singer, Eve Selis (www.eveselis.com) about the Farncombe Music Club, to which she returns for her fourth visit. Playing her electrifying, expressive blend of country, R&B, blues, folk and rock ‘n’ roll, Eve is accompanied by Marc ‘Twang’ Intravia who has been

playing guitar and writing songs with Eve Selis since 1991 and has performed with Kenny Loggins, Kim Carnes, America, Suzy Bogguss, BJ. Thomas, and many others. Eve and Marc have recently collaborated with Southern Californian folk duo Berkley Hart (www.berkleyhart.com) and as well as opening the concert, Berkley Hart will then be joining Eve and Marc at the end to showcase songs from their new CD ‘Berkley Hart Selis and Twang’. Tickets: £14 advance (£17 door). As expected, ticket sales for some of the remaining promotions in 2014 are very strong so it is advisable to buy soon. Full details can be found on the website, on Facebook, via the WeGotTickets page or simply contact Julian Lewry direct.

John Surtees OBE is definitely ‘Surrey boy made good’. Made very good, in fact. He truly is a world figure and a racing legend we can all admire.

He was born in Tatsfield and now lives in Lingfield, both in Surrey. His business however has been based in Kent at Edenbridge, where he still has an office, and it was at Brands Hatch that he first made his racing name. If you are not interested in motor sport, or if you are but are of tender years, you may not know too much about him other than the endlessly-quoted fact that he is the only man to have won World Championships on two wheels and on four: for the record he actually won seven World titles on motorbikes between 1956 and 1960 and he was F1 World Champion driving a Ferrari in 1964.

All of which is remarkable enough and a truly amazing achievement, and one which is unlikely ever to be repeated, but how about this: the very first car race he ever saw was one in which he was actually taking part; not only that, it was one in which he came second to Jim Clark! Moreover, it could be argued,

and I would certainly argue it, that had he been a little more prudent and perhaps a little less ‘emotional’ (his word, not mine) he would have won more F1 Championships. Perhaps because of ‘emotion’ he didn’t, as he put it to me “….. always find myself sitting in the best (F1)seat”. Right seat or not he’s had an incredible career in a dangerous sport. He celebrates his 80th birthday this year and that’s provided me with a jolly good reason to talk to him.

I actually first met him in 1971 when I was working for The London Evening News which was sponsoring every race meeting of the season – cars and motorbikes – at Brands Hatch, and it was therefore decided that editorially we needed an expert who could talk knowledgably both about bikes and cars. Who fitted that description better than John Surtees? The fact that he also knew Brands Hatch about as well as he knew his own kitchen was a bonus. My role? I was the humble go-between twixt him and the Evening News.

The thing that I remember about him from that time was his single-mindedness, his determination and the breadth of his knowledge. Remember that by 1971 he had already been a top F1 driver for over 10 years and he’d been World Champion in 1964. Not only was he still driving and winning in F1 cars in 1971, he was also designing and building his own Surtees F1 cars and other racing cars, notably the championship-winning F2 cars, at his Edenbridge factory.

SURREY BOY MAKES GOOD!

Nick Farley talks to motor racing legend John Surtees


the crash, he was living in Italy in a Ferrari apartment. He was secure as the Number One driver for Ferrari, he had already won the Syracuse Grand Prix and the Belgian Grand Prix of that year and he was leading the World Championship when, on a matter of principle and because of ‘politics’, he walked out of Ferrari. Just imagine that. In that position he simply left Ferrari! Who else would have done that? Had he swallowed hard, bitten his tongue and stayed he would probably have been the F1 Champion again in 1966. But swallowing hard and biting the tongue are not Surtees traits, so off he went and drove the rest of the 1966 F1 season in a Cooper Maserati, ending up with a couple of podium finishes and a win at the Mexican Grand Prix. That’s the determination bit.

When I asked him about this he said: “The most important person you’ve got to please is yourself. I got carried away with the emotional challenge. Walking out (on Ferrari) while I was leading the World Championship wasn’t what I planned.”

It’s clear when talking to him again after a gap of 43 years that nothing has changed. There’s still the same enthusiasm, the same drive and energy and the same humour and the proverbial spade is still going to be called a spade. Has he mellowed over the years? “I think I’m the same, but experience teaches you……one or two things I did in life were a bit too emotional.”

One of the things which I admired about him all those years ago was his obvious enthusiasm for those race tracks which we mere spectators regarded as the ‘real’ race tracks. Those spectacular tracks which were ultimately dropped from the championship calendar because they were deemed to be too dangerous. Tracks such as the old 14 mile Nürburgring – his very first F1 victory was at the Nürburgring - and the old nine mile Spa circuit as well as the 37 mile motorcycle Isle of Man TT circuit. Tracks which had indeed claimed many lives. These were tracks at which Surtees excelled. Thankfully the Isle of Man TT continues, although it is no longer part of the World Motorcycle Championships, and there are, of course, still F1 Grand Prix held

Let me give you a feel for what I mean about his ‘emotional’ responses, his occasional imprudence and his ever present determination. In 1964 he was the Ferrari number one driver and he won the World Championship that year in a Ferrari. In 1965 he had numerous F1 podium positions for Ferrari, but he finished the year with a monumental racing accident in Canada which he was lucky to survive. Then, in 1966, still getting over

at Spa and the Nürburgring, but those two tracks today are much shorter and tamer than they were in Surtees’s day. For example, in the mid-1950s, and that’s 60 years ago, his 500cc MV motorbike was achieving speeds of over 170mph along the old Masta Straight at Spa and I simply can’t imagine what that must have felt like on the bikes of that era. He is glad to have been able to ride and drive on those dangerous circuits: “I would have regretted missing the sheer thrill of riding and driving the old Spa circuit, the old Nürburgring and the Isle of Man”. It was in the Isle of Man that “I hit a cow….that was another experience!”. That’s one way of putting it I suppose. The cow apparently made a full recovery and fortunately John was unharmed too; only the bike suffered.

However, the danger of motor sport is not something that Surtees has escaped: in 2009 his 18 year old son, Henry, was killed while racing at Brands Hatch when the wheel of another car came off and hit him.

As a result of that tragic accident, and to commemorate Henry’s life, John started The Henry Surtees Foundation which, among other things, provides help and support for people with brain or physical injuries to return to community living. And last year, in partnership with the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance, and SERV (Service by Emergency Rider Volunteers) The Henry Surtees Foundation provided the Air Ambulance helicopters with blood transfusion equipment and also funded two Honda cars to transport blood in temperature controlled containers to the helicopter bases at Marden and Redhill.This valuable funding enables blood transfu-sions to be carried out at the scene of acci-dents rather than patients having to wait until they reach hospital before they get what may be a life-saving transfusion. In the first year 69 emergency transfusions were carried out.

Raising funds for the Foundation’s continuing work is now the focus of John’s enthusiasm, drive and energy and in this year, his 80th birthday year, and the 50th anniversary of his F1 Championship year, he still has a very busy schedule of appearances to help raise money. A marvellous new book, a pictorial celebration

of his amazing career, will be published this month and will raise further funds for the Foundation. (See panel.) He’s still driving his racing cars and riding his racing bikes at displays and exhibitions and he will be driving a 1964 Ferrari F1 car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed at the end of June.

There are those who say he should be Sir John Surtees and there has long been a campaign to bring this about. I had to ask him what he thought about it and the embarrassed response was “...it’s up to others. If it happens it happens, but if it doesn’t it doesn’t”.

Well in my opinion it’s a crying shame if it doesn’t.

In 2013 John was awarded the prestigious Segrave Trophy at The RAC Club in Pall Mall.

Kids can come to Cranleigh Show for just £1 each this year. This ia a new initiative by Cranleigh and South East Agricultural Society aimed at making this wonderful rural day out as family friendly as possible.

The show has something for everyone. It is a great place to meet a whole range of farm animals, from long-horned Highland cattle to rare-breed sheep, magnificent pigs to dinky pygmy goats which will all be competing for coveted championships. And children will also be able to get close up to smaller animals in the Fisher’s Farm Park display.

The horse show has also been re-designed to make it a fun event for all horse and pony owners. There will be classes suitable for all levels, from lead rein to ridden hunters and retrained racers. So if you have a pony, bring it along and have a go.

The popular heavy horse competition is back, along with the stylish private and light trade turnout driving classes.

Main arena events include the Kangaroo Kid and his Joey, one of the most exciting aerobatic quad bike displays in the world. Who jumps higher, revs faster, does more derring-do – the Kangaroo or his Joey? – for the Aussie stunt rider has teamed up with his son.

The internationally famous lumberjack team Adam’s Axemen will be there with an amazing display of competitive axe racing.

Andy Jackman of the BBC’s ‘One Man and his Dog’will be explaining the unique bond between shepherd and sheepdog in the main arena and birdwatchers will have a field day thanks to Eagle Heights from Kent. A Bald Eagle named Kayla will soar

above the crowd, a White-backed Vulture called Becks go galumphing around the arena and a Falcon will hurtle at 120mph, while a little Barn Owl just floats around amongst the crowd.

Cranleigh Show prides itself on being part of the local community and it is run by volunteers for Cranleigh and South East Agricultural Society as a not-for-profit event.

This year the Richard Onslow pub in Cranleigh High Street is taking part, creating a pop-up pub on the showground and featuring beer from the Firebird Brewery just down the

road in Rudgwick. Firebird is a new microbrewery run by experienced brewers who just couldn’t quite retire (and your editor can vouch for the quality of their product)…

Learn to cast a fly, watch Warrenby Gun Dogs demonstrate obedience training and go all nostalgic over vintage tractors while children try their hand at archery, ‘beat the goalie’, bungee trampoline and quad bikes. The popular ‘Fun with Farming’ display is back with fleeces, seeds and a model cow to milk who won’t kick

the pail over.

See you there and don’t forget to bring the dog!

Tickets available online at cranleighshow.co.uk with great early booking discounts: Adult £11 (£14 on the day); Seniors £7 (£10) and Children 5-16 accompanied by an adult £1. Under 5s FREE.

Guildford Shakespeare Company (GSC), which specialises in site-responsive theatre, was established in 2006 by two local actors, Matt Pinches and Sarah Gobran. Their objective was to re-ignite people’s passion for Shakespeare and theatre-going by producing immersive, accessible and innovative home grown theatre in interesting and unusual non-theatre spaces.

Sarah graduated from Guildford School of Acting in 1998 and met Matt whilst they were acting in a show together, just down the road in Sutton. Matt meanwhile had trained in West Yorkshire at the prestigious Bretton Hall, specialising in devised and physical theatre. Over the years they have appeared in a whole range of the theatre from Alan Ayckbourn to Roald Dahl, from pantomime to village hall touring… but their lasting passion had always been Shakespeare.

So, at Christmas 2005, they came up with the idea to stage an open-air production in Guildford’s Castle Gardens. “I had taken a show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival some years before”, explains Sarah, “so I had some idea of how to put something together, but I had no idea that this one event would snowball into what is now Guildford Shakespeare Company!”

Working with the tiniest of budgets – “we started with just £1,000 from an advert that I had just shot” – and calling on all

the contacts and favours they had built up in the industry, Matt and Sarah unveiled the first GSC production, Much Ado About Nothing in July 2006. It played for just 10 performances to sold out audiences every night, in glorious

sunshine. “We were really blessed with the weather, the team and all the support we garnered for this first event”, recalls Matt. “We even received support from Sir Derek Jacobi, Lord and Lady Rix and Sir Kenneth Branagh” (who earlier this year attended their acclaimed Othello in Holy Trinity Church).

This year is their most ambitious, with four productions. Following Othello in February and Twelfth Night in June, their next production is Henry V at Guildford Cathedral which will run from the 14th to 26th July

and will be followed by their inaugural autumn season with a unique staging of Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales.

Work on each main season begins at least 12 months before the audience arrives. Working with non-theatre venues means

As Guildford Shakespeare Company gear up for their second show of summer 2014, here’s a peek behind the scenes of what goes into the workings of Surrey’s award-winning theatre company.

that planning stages can be longer - the first time they worked with College of Law on Portsmouth Road, discussions began four years beforehand. Once the venue and dates are confirmed, key members of the creative team such as the director, designer and lighting designer are engaged. Over the next three to four months, whilst they begin to formulate their plans for the productions, the raising of finance through sponsorship and funding applications commences. At the same time, marketing schedules are drawn up for the 12 weeks leading up to the start of the season.

Casting usually takes place two to there months before rehearsals. GSC regularly has between 1000-1400 actors submitted by agents for the eight jobs on offer. Sarah, who heads up the casting process, added: “It can be a very complex operation, especially in the summer when you have two directors wanting different things from the same cast. Eventually we see about 60 actors for audition in London, and often do recalls for the people we want to see again… and of course that’s not taking into account the actors you want to re-employ.”

Matt looks after the marketing of the shows, which for a non-building based company also presents its challenges. “Each time we launch a season it is a little like starting from scratch again, to remind people that GSC exists. Our venues are diverse and we don’t that easy recognition from the public that ‘I know theatre happens here’. We employ a mix of marketing tools from distributing 70,000 flyers to making movie-style trailers. Our posters are always commented upon and getting that artwork right is crucial to success of the

campaign. An added complexity is that the posters are usually needed well before the design concept of the show is decided upon.”

Rehearsals are six days a week, from 10am to 6pm in Guildford (sometimes longer with evening rehearsals for fight calls or dance routines). “Rehearsals are usually two and a half to three weeks in length and are very intense, even more so in the summer when we start performing the first play at night and rehearsing the second during the day.

“Expectations from both audiences and within the industry itself have become more intense, which is wonderful,” observes Matt. “But when you’re not core-funded and need 75% of revenue to come from earned income (the show budget for Summer 2014 is just under £100,000 and will create 21 jobs), the pressures are large and the margins are small.”

Happily, 2014 is shaping up to be the company’s best year yet. With Othello, Shakespeare’s 450th birthday, Twelfth Night and Henry V under their belts, one might be forgiven for thinking that the year was nearly done. “We’re really excited to be launching our brand new autumn season this October”, adds Sarah. “It has been a long time in coming, but the introduction of our third full season will see us become, in the public’s eye, a year round producing company for the first time. The Canterbury Tales look set to be another first for GSC as we are writing the script ourselves, the launch of our own literary legacy, if you like.”

Before all that though, Guildford Shakespeare Company will be calling you “once more unto the breach” as their five-man Henry V is unleashed in the grounds of Guildford Cathedral. This production will include especially designed light projections, placing this iconic building centre stage.

So why do they do it? “When people have the opportunity to see the text live, the world of the play is opened up to them, the character’s circumstances and dilemmas are real and they are given an opportunity to engage directly with the story and the action. Suddenly it’s not “all Greek to me” but rather an event which they are part of. One of the most rewarding – and regular – comments we receive is “I never thought Shakespeare could be like that!”

Godalming Town Council invites you to Staycation 2014

HOLIDAY IN YOUR OWN TOWN!

Godalming Town Council is delighted to bring you Staycation for the fifth year running.What does Staycation mean? It means there is no need to travel far, you don’t have to waste money in travelling costs or time in traffic jams. It means you can take advantage of our wonderful attractions, such as the River Wey, the National Trust’s properties as well as the town’s sports facilities and all the historic and cultural places of interest. It means you can participate in one of the many activities which are included in the Staycation programme. It means there is so much to do in your home town.

Our local businesses, individuals and organisations have again given very generously to help create an exciting Staycation programme and we are entirely grateful to them. There are some 70 reasons to stay close to home this year! Not only are they exciting and fun activities but these activities are at a specially discounted Staycation price or completely free.

There are lots of new things to try this year including anti-gravitational fitness sessions, croquet, have a go at playing the Ukelele or a brass instrument, make a witches broomstick, even a Mathathon! Together with the Tea Dance that was so popular last year, canoeing, fitness, tennis, other activities too numerous to mention here, and the Staycation Live Music Festival which starts our week off on 2nd August, there is something for everyone! We are also delighted to bring you, this year, the Staycation Farncombe Fete on Saturday 9th August at Canon Bowring’s field, Farncombe packed full of fun things, hog roast, tots’ ballet, music, beer tent and much more.

Please enjoy and take your time to browse through the exciting Staycation programme starting from 2nd August, we are sure you will find something to tempt you. Staying close to home this summer has never been more appealing.

“Mum is veryfond of her carer”

Highly Recommended Melody Care are increasingly being recommended by health professionals and grateful clients alike who have experienced at first hand the wonderful care provided by the Melody Care team. “Each of your carers I have met are lovely! We all really appreciate the care package you have set up so efficiently at such short notice” wrote one client recently. Another wrote: “Melody Care have done a wonderful job of looking after mum and I know she is very fond of her carer. I would also like to say how accommodating you have all been and the care that mum has received has been really excellent.”

AttitudeProviding Live-In care takes a very special kind of person. Melody Care select their carers for their patience and understanding, as well as their ability to run a house and care in all regards for our clients. We also provide extensive training using our own in-house training depart-ment. This is to ensure each carer is up to date and fully conversant with current rules and regulations. Before the service begins we would always meet with our clients and their family to determine exactly what their needs and desires might be. We then produce a detailed and personal care plan so that the Live-In Care Assistant knows exactly what is expected of them.

Good health is something many of us take for granted. Those who have to care for a loved one with failing health know only too well the devastating effects this has on their quality of life. So often people’s worlds are turned upside down when a parent or spouse become seriously ill or lose the ability to care for themselves. It is when this hap-pens that professional help is often needed. Melody Care has an enviable reputation for providing Live-In Care Assistants to help share the burden. Whatever the circumstances might be, Melody Care will be there when the help is needed most.

A typical day for a Melody Care Live-In Care Assistant

Melody Care are very thorough in our approach to fi nding the best carers possible for each client. There are 9 rigorous steps that we insist all our Live in Carers go through before they are assigned to a client:

1. On line application via our web site confi rming name, address and other details.2. Submission of a detailed CV listing all previous work experience and qualifi cations.3. Completion of a specially designed Psychometric Test, which helps us to determine character, integrity and attitude towards vulnerable people.4. A telephone interview typically lasting 15 minutes.5. A face to face interview typically lasting 90 minutes.6. Copies of the carers passport, driving licence, utility bill, bank statement and any relevant training certifi cates are taken as part of the process to confi rm their identity and status.7. Completion of a registration form listing all the places they have lived in the last 5 years. This information is then used to apply to the “Disclosure and Barring Service” to check there is no criminal record (previously known as CRB check). Melody Care also apply to the Independent Safeguarding Authority to ensure the carer is not registered on any list that would preclude them from working with vulnerable adults.8. Melody Care contact the previous employer and a personal reference to verify that they have provided these and that the information given is genuine and complete.9. Finally, Melody Care arrange for any additional training that needs to be done to be undertaken. Sometimes a “refresher” course is required and Melody Care provide this.

NINE steps to ensure only the best Live-In Carers look after our clients by Simon Carter, Owner of Melody Care

“� ank you for caring for dad”


Maggie O’Farrell’s inspiration for this novel was geo-thermal – the recent eruption of the volcano in Iceland which covered most of Northern Europe

in ash. The effect this had on society and day-to-day life was widespread and significant, reminding us that nature can at times render us powerless. The heatwave of 1976 provided a similar state of disruption and fear. It was the hottest summer on record with a severe lack of rain, resulting in the Government declaring an official drought. This provides the background for the Riordan family to play out their jealousies and rivalry.

Three very different adult children – the brother on the brink of divorce, trapped and frustrated in his teaching job, and two estranged sisters who have a mass of hang-ups and problems, both inherited and domestic – come together to deal with a family crisis and cope with their mother. Their father, for no apparent reason, has suddenly disappeared.

The family is vulnerable, unhappy and unfulfilled and we follow the sniping and arguing as their past reveals some uncomfortable truths amongst the oppressive heat, which is a constant presence in all the unravelling of the facts.

Maggie O’Farrell’s observation of family life is detailed and powerful. The characters may not be likeable but they feel very real and provide a strong storyline. An enjoyable and easy read, well-written, humorous (despite the above) and poignant. This was shortlisted for the Costa Book Awards in 2013.Reviewed by Sally Russell

On Saturday July 5th The Tour de France starts in Yorkshire! So, if any of the incredible cycling success we Brits have had in the last few years –

umpteen Olympic Golds, several World Championships and two successive Tour de France wins – has made even the tiniest scintilla of

a blip on your radar then you must get this book: “Tour de France, the history, the legend, the riders” by Graeme Fife. It is riveting.

The Tour must be the most gruellingly difficult and cruel sporting event on the planet. It is three weeks of murderous mountain climbs, blistering heat, freezing cold, drenching rain and occasionally snow. Even on drugs, and there has been the odd druggy moment as we all know, but even on drugs you have to be beyond human just to ride The Tour, let alone to win it.

This splendid book is the portal to this magnificent sporting spectacular. Here is the history of an event which began 111 years ago, and never mind the modern drugs scandals you simply can’t imagine the incredible hardship of those early races nor the amount of blatant cheating and skulduggery which went on in the past. Here too are the tales of epic personal rivalries and the stories of some of the great riders of all time, Merckx, Coppi, Anquetil, Simpson et al. They’re all here and their stories will grip you to the very last syllable of the very last chapter - and the last chapter is the story of last year’s Tour, the 100th race, won by British rider, Chris Froome.

A GOOD Book

himself and he has ridden all of the legendary cols and passes of The Tour. His encyclopaedic knowledge of the race together with his obvious love for it have resulted in a super book about a superhuman event. Reviewed by Nick Farley

This book is about real women. How real women with lumps, bumps, the odd wrinkle and imperfection can make the

best of their assets. It shows you how to give yourself a colour and style make-over and how properly to find the style and colour scheme (for make-up and clothes) that is, frankly, going to flatter you the most. But do beware, buying this book will make you seriously want to empty your wardrobe and head for the shops.

What is so refreshing about this book is that it doesn’t portray stick-thin models who clearly would be able to wear anything, it shows real people – tall people, short people, and people who stick out in the places that real people stick out. It helps you assess your body shape and then tells you which clothing styles are going to enhance and flatter your shape.

This book also gives you handy tips about organising your wardrobe,

how to keep current, how to achieve the perfect packing and put together a travelling wardrobe.

Perfect for a cathartic summer clear-out.Reviewed by Carol Farley

Brother and sister, Angela and Richard, have seldom spoken over the past 20 years until meeting up at their mother’s funeral.

They have little in common; Richard is a successful hospital consultant. Angela a frazzled, overweight despairing mother of three whose husband, Dominic, is a failed musician who works in a bookshop. ‘Bespoke or chain?’ asks Richard about the bookshop on the first night of the joint family holiday he has organised and paid for, renting the rambling red house on the Welsh borders. Richard has recently married glamorous divorcee, Louisa, and in the process acquired her sulky teenage daughter, Melissa.

Four adults, four children, all very different and all, over the space of a week, behaving unpredictably as the inflexible company gradually unravels.

Haddon proved himself an adroit handler of human emotions with The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and this clever book is just as absorbing.Reviewed by Caroline Boucher

Now available in paperback, this excellent book really does live up to the hype and the praise lavished upon it by other reviewers. There

is much to be learnt here given it is the authorised biography which does rather make it definitive. Whilst it is true that Charles Moore admired his subject, this book is no hagiography. It is a fair, well written and ultimately very engrossing book on a fascinating subject. Margaret Thatcher certainly divided opinion but even non-admirers must acknowledge her place in British 20th Century history. It finishes with victory in the Falklands, which leaves plenty of material for volume two. I, for one, cannot wait.Reviewed by Stefan Reynolds

Each of the seven double page spreads in this fabulous book shows many people busying themselves at play and at work all around the world.

This is a really fun book for boys and girls with lots of really interesting things to find and look at. I loved the fact that the topic was different from the usual ‘animals’ or ‘countryside’ and the professions they chose were also different and intriguing. Definitely a book children will want to keep dipping in to.Reviewed by Carol Farley

David Quinn, Head Chef at The Restaurant at Haslemere’s Lythe Hill Hotel and his brigade of talented chefs , work with a rich line of home grown and locally sourced, seasonal produce and ingredients strongly associated with Surrey to bring delicious, truly memorable dishes to the Lythe Hill table.

This multi-award-winning restaurant is set amidst tranquil Surrey countryside in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. Diners enjoy sublime modern British cuisine either feasting under 15th Century Tudor beams in the oak panelled dining room - or in Lythe Hill’s more contemporary Brasserie, overlooking the ornamental lake and beautifully landscaped grounds.

A Gourmet Summer MealWith recipes from the Lythe Hill Hotel, Haslemere

1. Finely slice potatoes per person (use a mandolin if there is one available) and place in a mould suitable for the oven. Place the potatoes into three layers, allowing them to overlap slightly. Add one layer of confit duck meat then another three potato layers. Add a final layer of confit duck meat and finish with three layers of potatoes. Cover the whole Anna in duck fat. Wrap the mould in tin foil and cook the oven on 145C for 45 minutes. Remove the tin foil and increase the temperature to 170C. Cook for a further 30 minutes. Once cooked all the way through, place another tray of the same size on top and press down firmly.

2. For the braised carrots, warm everything in a pan apart from the carrots. Allow the butter to melt in the water. Add the prepared carrots and cook till tender.

3. Make the purée. In a pan, add the carrots and butter to suit, add the orange juice and allow to sweat adding water if needed. Once soft,

blend, adding water until smooth. Season to taste.

4. For the cabbage, finely shred it and place in a pan. Add the caraway seeds and white wine and allow to sweat adding a little water if needed - continue to cook on a low temperature until the cabbage is cook ed (approximately 15mins).

5. Place six duck breasts in an oven proof pan with oil, skin side down – as the pan gets slowly hotter, the duck skin will crisp up. Put the pan with the duck breasts into the oven at 180C for six minutes. Remove from oven and add a small knob of butter to the pan. Turn the duck over skin side up and glaze with honey. Allow to rest in a warm area to finish cooking.

GARDEN

What to do in JulyWith Matthew Pottage, Garden Manager at RHS Garden Wisley

This summer at Wisley we are celebrating herbs and our cafés and restau-rant will be packing fresh herbs into all manner of sweet and savoury dishes. Look out for the ‘Herbfest’ branding when you next visit and feast your sens-es on herb infused oils, fresh herb salads, and displays of colourful herbs in the Walled Garden East in place of more traditional summer bedding.

Growing herbs is one of the eas-iest ways to garden and if you’re inspired by our culinary creations you can re-create them by growing your own ingredients at home. ‘Cut and come again’ salad leaves can be grown in pots and when punched up with a few choice herbs like parsley, chives or coriander, will make an exciting addition to your table.

For the tastiest results make sure your leafy herbs and salads are planted in full sun and keep well fed and watered as many herbs and salads can die quickly if starved of nutrients. Coriander is a prime example of this, and can flower and die in just a few weeks if it doesn’t have the required nutrients

and water. Another handy tip is to re-sow salad leaves each fortnight, as this will give you a regular supply

of tasty leaves throughout the summer.

Succession of Salads

Now that many of our early flowering peren-nials and spring plants have finished flower-ing, it’s time to start collecting seeds for sow-

ing next spring.

As a child I always loved collecting the huge fur-ry seedpods of lupins, drying them out on a sunny

windowsill till they rustled, then popping out the large seeds. As a rule, seed heads should be collected just before they naturally open. You can tell when because they’ll start to look past their best and will start turning brown or papery.

Once you have harvested the ripe seed pods, leave them to dry out in a paper envelope some-where warm and with very little moisture, Then shake out the seeds, label and store them in the fridge until next spring. Seed pods that are still green or seeds that are still fleshy will not be fully formed and will not store successfully, so a regu-lar, vigilant eye is required!

If you have visited Wisley in September you couldn’t have failed to spot the large, vibrant Colchicum or autumn crocus (right). Also known as naked ladies, because their flowers spring up with no foliage, they are typically available in shades of pink or white, and add a wonderful splash of colour to the autumn garden.

Dry bulbs start to become available in late July/August and should be planted as soon as possible. Look out for the double flowered cultivar ‘Waterlily’ which is truly beautiful. If nothing else, the common name of these plants will be a talking point!

Slug off!I hate slug pellets! I would never use them, not even the organic kind. They are incredibly detrimental to wild life, killing lovely hedgehogs (a natural predator of slugs and snails) in a horrid, drawn-out and painful way. If, like me, you want to protect our wildlife and help preserve the natural balance of na-ture, there are many other ways you can protect your pre-cious plants from slugs and snails.

Slugs and snails are fleshy, succulent beings, with a protective slimy layer which enables them to move around. They don’t want to cross anything that’s sharp or abrasive or will dry out this protective layer. So by using sharp sand, course grit, sawdust, ash, soot, crushed eggshells, and diato-maceous earth as barriers around your plants, you’ll naturally be deterring slugs and snails. Human hair a n d horse hair are also excellent at keeping slugs and snails at bay, as are garlic granules or garlic wash – these two will need to be reapplied after any wet weather. Pine needles and copper tape can also be used.

You can also purchase nematodes, which are naturally occurring microscopic predators of slugs and snails when used in a con-centrated form, and are very effective at controlling the types of slugs living in the soil. Nematodes are even effective in wet weather when many remedies fail. Slug nematodes aren’t as successful in areas where manure is used as a fertiliser, so do bear that in mind.

Please do remember that all of these deterrents will need to be regu-

larly re-applied and in the case of the copper rings and tape, regularly rubbed over with sandpaper to keep the surface fresh and free of oxidisation.

Here are plenty of other natural predators of slugs and snails: frogs, slow worms, shrews, ground bee-

tles, centipedes, marsh flies, newts, ducks, chickens, garden birds, especially

song thrushes, mistle thrushes and redwings. It is an interesting fact that these birds as well as hedgehogs have declined dra-matically since the introduction and wide-spread use of slug pellets.

So let’s do more to help these wonderful crea-tures by stopping the use of slug pellets and making our gardens more wildlife friendly.

1. Walk roughly west-south-west, out of the back of the green and down Hullbrook Lane, away from the B2128. Walk all the way to the T junction at the end. Go right and almost im-mediately take a footpath out left to continue forward. This takes you across the River Wey and then under what was a railway bridge.

2. Continue on up to the A281. Turn left and walk about 300 yards to cross and turn off right, up a concrete lane signed Bonhurst Farm and alongside a Bramley sign. Walk about ½ mile along the wide track to reach the farm and, here, turn right. Quickly reach a T junction and turn left along a track. Now, walk about ¼ mile, passing a lone house and, shortly thereafter, reaching cross paths. Continue straight ahead along a narrow, in places deeply cut, path. Pass a house, ‘Keepers’ and reach ‘Gatestreet Barn’.

3. Here, turn right onto a wide track in a field. Follow this until passing a single storey out-house and emerging on a tarmac drive heading towards “Wintershall”, a large house. (Winter-shall lends its name to the Wintershall Players, who perform Passion Plays.) A few yards on, the path forks right, over the grass and around the side of the garden to bypass the house. On the far side, turn left and immediately right on a track with a lake below, to your left. (You will see here some of the Passion Play props, for ex-ample the tomb in which Jesus is buried, with the large circular rock at the entrance). The track swings left to climb up and out through a gap into a field. Cross the field straight ahead and enter a wood. Walk along just inside the wood, parallel to the field edge and keep going to reach a narrow lane (emerging with a 17th century farmhouse ‘Scotsland Farm’ off to your left). Turn right.

4. Walk along the lane a little way and take a track left, into trees again. Ignore a side path left and continue up, following the path as it

Shamley Green and Winkworth

The walk

This is a walk which offers some splendid views and a brush with religious history and, in parts, a fairly strenuous leg stretch. I completed the walk at the end of May 2014 and must advise that many of the bridleways were pretty muddy, so stout waterproof boots are recommended. I did the walk starting at Winkworth Arboretum, which enabled us to reach Shamley Green for lunch.

swings right and continues to climb steeply for a short distance. At the top continue forward along the path and follow it down, passing ‘Langshurst Farm’ and swinging gradually left. Take the first footpath right and quickly reach the busy B2130, Has-combe/Godalming road. Go, carefully, straight across and up a track, passing ‘Elm Cottage’ and continuing to climb up a fairly steep slope to emerge at the end of a residential road. Follow this as it swings sharply left and then reaches a T junction with another road. Turn right and walk along to the end and the junc-tion with the B2130.

5. Turn right and, again carefully, walk about 100 yards along the B2130 before taking a footpath left, just beyond the entrance to ‘Eden House’ and before the road drops steeply down. This path takes you to the Winkworth Arboretum car park and the end of the outward leg. Turn right to enter the Arboretum to find the café and toilets. (You do not need to be a National Trust mem-ber. You will be using a public footpath and they are happy to have you spend money in the café).

6. Go straight on, beyond the café and the ticket box, until reach-ing a four-way signpost. Here, follow the ‘Boathouse’ sign and fork left and down the ‘Fiona Adam Steps’. At the T junction at the bottom turn right and quickly reach another T junction where you turn left. A little further on fork right to cross a foot-bridge, again right. Follow the path over two more footbridges and a pointless tiny third (with a waterfall to your right). Reach a field at a T junction with another path. Turn left and walk through to a narrow road. Here, head left along the road to pass some cottages and continue as far again beyond them to reach another house on the left. It is ‘Phillimore Cottage’.

WALK

DISTANCE: 9.5 miles

OS MAPS: Explorer 145 Guildford & Farnham, Godalming & Farnborough

START GRID REFERENCE: 4 032 1 438

STARTING POINT: Shamley Green – park around the Green. You could also start at Winkworth Arboretum and start the walk at paragraph six.

REFRESHMENTS: There is a café at Winkworth Arboretum which is open from 10am to 4.30pm every day. There is a café/deli in Shamley Green called the Speckledy Hen, which is open 8am to 4pm weekdays and 9am to 4pm on Saturdays. There are also two pubs if you require something stronger!

The walk is taken from Guildford Rambling Club’s portfolio (guildfordramblingclub.org.uk) with thanks.

Neither the publisher nor the author can accept any responsibility for any changes, errors or omissions in this route. Diversion orders can be made and permissions withdrawn at any time.

7. Follow a signpost left, up its drive. Turn right before the house, into the corner of its garden to find a path running left and along by the garden edge and parallel to the road. Follow this along the right-hand side of two fields and out to another narrow road. Turn right to cross a stream and quickly reach a T

junction in Thorncombe Street. Turn left, walk a few yards and, just past a telephone box, take a footpath right, up a track and onto Thorncombe Hill. You climb up through two fields. At the top, pass through a corridor between fields and enter trees. The path now bears slightly right and drops down through trees to another field. Continue down and straight across. Climb over a stile onto cross paths and continue straight ahead. Reach a road and turn left.

8. After about 300 yards, at a sharp bend, take a track right, along the side of ‘Brookwell’. Fol-low this path through to the A281. Cross, turn left and walk about 150 yards to turn right on a track running between farm buildings. This track takes you over the River Wey and the Wey South Path and arrives at a lane. Jink right and cross to turn left and walk up through a field. You will arrive on the road from Shamley Green, opposite Shamley Green Church. Cross and then walk (very carefully) left, down to the Green and your starting point.


now produce a wine called Silent Pool Rose, which was one of only three English wines served on the Royal Barge as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. It is currently being served at Royal Opera House restaurants and is available at many local restaurants and outlets. The 2013 vintage was released for sale on 24th May, the beginning of English Wine Week, and is reckoned to be their best wine so far. I haven’t tried it yet but will hopefully get a chance in the not too distant future (nudge nudge, wink wink!) To find out more, particularly where you can find this wine go to www.alburyvineyard.com or call 01483 229159. (The Godalming Food Company in the High Street is one stockist. Ed)

With the greater use of Satnavs installed in cars or on mobile phones, Godalming and Haslemere Ramblers programme now includes postcodes to help walkers of all ages more easily find the start point for their walks each week. Walks are also graded from easy access walks for everyone including the disabled through to

strenuous for those who have an above average fitness level. Generally walks are between five and 12 miles in length. Walks run throughout the week, including weekends, and during the last year over 225 guided walks took place attended by over 3,500 walkers. Current membership is in excess of 400. An increasing number of people are joining up instead of exercising at the local gym as they find it much more interesting enjoying the magnificent local countryside and the fresh air instead of being confined to a walking machine inside a building. For full details of the walk programme offered check the details on www.godalmingandhaslemereramblers.org.uk/walks. Non-members are welcome to join a few walks and try them out before becoming a member.

The Unattached Group (TUG) is a group of about 80 to 100 active people between 45 and 65 who come together to participate in many social events some of which are theatre trips, cinema, walks, eating out and weekends away. They are all unattached and are keen to

expand their social circle by meeting like minded people. The group is run by the members for the members and they encourage everyone to take an active part. TUG is a non profit organisation and the small annual fee covers the running costs with the balance being ploughed back into the group for the benefit and enjoyment of the members. If you would like more information and details of where they meet weekly, phone Maggie on 07855 008 897 or go online at www.theunattachedgroup.co.uk. They hope to meet you soon and welcome you to their group. They are based in Guildford and the surrounding areas of Surrey and Hampshire.

I thought I would just give you a bit of advance news in case you’re a fan. Ireland’s reigning musical queen, the truly unique Imelda May, is coming to G Live on Wednesday 3rd December as part of her new UK tour following the release of her latest chart topping studio album, Tribal. It is likely to sell out so you might want to get tickets now. Either go online to www.GLive.co.uk or call 0844 7701 797.
