INTERESTED IN FINDING AN ALLOTMENT ~ Does anyone know of a local available allotment?
Hi there! I am a Meads resident…me and my girlfriend are very interested in finding an allotment to grow our own fruit and veg. We have been in touch with Eastbourne Allotments but they say they are nothing to do with the Meads site. I was wondering if you knew how we could go about applying for a space there?

Funds for Macmillan Cancer Care ~ Sussex Military History Society
Sussex Military History SocietyThe Operation Sussex Study Day held at Newhaven Fort on 28 May 2011 raised the sum of £400.00 for Macmillan Cancer Support. The cheque was presented to representatives of Macmillan Nurses at All Saints Hospice in Eastbourne by Peter Tyrrell and Stewart`Angell of the organising Sussex Military History Society. The innovative event was held in the casemate Schoolroom at Newhaven Fort where the ESCC facilities and ambience ideally suited the function. The idea for the Study Day came from a similar activity held at Dymchurch a year previously. Driving back after that meeting the conversation drifted variously until Stewart uttered ‘We could do better than that’. Peter paused and offered ‘What shall we call it?.A few miles further along the A259 Stewart came back with ‘Operation Sussex’ - to which Peter added Study Day to qualify the content. Thus on the evening A259 the SMHS Study Day was conceived. Within Sussex Military History Society a member Ron Martin was then researching medieval Rye, Winchelsea and Camber defences and developments. Across in Worthing John Goodwin specialised in Napoleonic forts and sites. The third speaker became Pete Hibbs who has a degree in War Studies and specialises in a Virtual Reality presentation from Cuckmere Haven inland. The fourth speaker was Stewart Angell who expanded his interest in underground bunkers etc into Cold War retreats and rationale. Thus was created a spread of speakers cover the Sussex coast, on a journey through the centuries. At midday the capacity audience were given a guided tour of the Fort by Ed Tyhurst who is an enthusiastic member of SMHS and actually works at Newhaven Fort. To culminate the talks Col Anthony Kimber personated a professional resume of regional defences under the tile The Threat from across the Channel. Overall the Sussex Military History Society felt quite pleased with their inaugural public event, but they are having a break before refreshing thoughts for another event next year. Since May the Lewes based SMHS have also raised £305 from raffle events and a sponsored walk completed by Stewart`Angell. The group’s latest fund raising collection is for Ghurkha causes. Meetings are held monthly at The Royal Oak, Station Street in Lewes and monthly speakers cover a broad spectrum of militaria, visitors are always welcomed. www.sussexmilitary.org.uk Advertise free on ' The Eastbourne Life Website '

Organic vrs non organic
I’m repeating myself again but slightly fed up with this argument. The new organic vrs non organic debate has recently been highlighted by a Which? report. They have come up with some interesting conclusions but please remember the trial they did was so small it is laughable. Tucking into some organic tomatoes for lunch, the smell was unbelievable – that true whiff of a real fruit that has not been tampered with, does not taste like soap, and has real colour – how wonderful is that?. There is no contest for me. But it’s a matter of choice which we are all entitled to make. I think the problem with organic food is the name. In the 1970' my father didnt say “I’m going down the garden to pick some organic kale”. The word organic wasn’t used, it was just… kale…with no pesticides. I think ALL fruit and vegetables should be produced with as little pesticides, herbicides as possible and whatever arguments you have, no I really don’t think a chemical company ie Monsanto should be anywhere near our food chain. Just my thoughts. www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1359746/Organic-healthy-Vegetables-grown-pesticides-contain-MORE-vitamins.html Kate Arnold BA(Hons) Dip I.O.N MBANT Advertise free on ' The Eastbourne Life Website '

100 Years of Eastbourne Guiding By Pat Lambie
Guiding began when a group of girls ‘gate-crashed’ the first Scout Rally at the Crystal Palace in September 1909, demanding to be Girl Scouts. Baden-Powell renamed them Girl Guides and asked his sister Agnes to organise their programme. She wrote the first Handbook, entitled How Girls can help to build the Empire. The movement developed rapidly, and was up and running in Eastbourne by December 1910. In the early days, before there was an official publication, a woman’s magazine called Home Notes devoted a couple of pages each week for Guiding news and in the issue dated December 10th of that year there appears the following item: The 1st Eastbourne Company of B-P Girl Guides (their original name) meets at Rodmill farm, owned by the parents of one of the girls, on the first, third and fifth Saturday of the month’, and it goes on to list their activities and some of the badges they were working towards. I have been back through copies of the local papers to see if I could find references to Guiding, but they are few and far between However in 1911 there was a letter about the Guides and another one in 1913, appealing for Leaders (so what’s new ?)...

STEPHEN LLOYD MP URGES EASTBOURNE BUSINESSES ~ TO KEEP HARD OF HEARING CUSTOMERS IN THE LOOP
Eastbourne MP, Stephen Lloyd, is urging the town’s businesses, shops and services to ensure they have fully operational induction loops – technology that helps people who are deaf or hard of hearing to communicate. The MP’s call follows research by RNID, the largest charity working in the UK on hearing loss, which found that eighty two per cent of 115 surveyed businesses in Eastbourne were inaccessible because of problems with, or absence of, loops. Stephen Lloyd MP, a former RNID trustee, says: “Communication for the country’s two million hearing aid users can very difficult when induction loops aren’t available, especially when there’s background noise. In the House of Commons, I would struggle to hear key points during noisy debates if I didn’t have access to an induction loop to help amplify the sound of the MPs who have been called to speak. “The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) states that service providers must make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to allow access to disabled people, so not only are local businesses without fully operational induction loops missing out on potential consumer spending, they’re also leaving themselves open to legal action which could easily be avoided.” RNID Chief Executive, Jackie Ballard, says, “I am delighted that Stephen has joined our call urging businesses in Eastbourne to make very simple changes which will greatly improve the experience of customers who are deaf or hard of hearing. We want shops and services to provide fully working induction loops and remove unnecessary barriers which can affect communication and deter people with a hearing loss from buying their products or services.” For more information about the charity’s campaign, visit www.rnid.org.uk/inductionloops Email me for help and advice campaigns@rnid.org.uk Advertise free on ' The Eastbourne Life Website '

The ingredients in McVities HobNobs ~ KATE ARNOLD NUTRITION CONSULTANT
I’m not at war with United Biscuits and having gone onto their nutrition website I see that they were the first biscuit company to lead the way to reduce trans fats, hydrogonated oil, artificial colours and use less salt. That’s fantastic and they should be congratulated. I don’t want to be a killjoy, there is nothing like a good biscuit and hobnobs are very popular. Are they however bold enough to remove the glucose fructose syrup as well – thats the potentially addictive ingredient that can make you eat the whole packet. A good source of fibre and full of oaty wholemeal goodness does not sway with me until this stuff is removed. Then they might have a biscuit of which to be proud. Here are the ingredients: Ingredients Rolled oat (38%), Wholemeal Wheat Flour (23%), Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Raising Agents (Sodium Bicarbonate, Ammonium Bicarbonate), Salt Visit my website for more nutritional information www.katearnoldnutrition.co.uk Email me for help and advice katenut@aol.com Advertise free on ' The Eastbourne Life Website '

INTRODUCTION TO TAPESPONDING
A guide for new members Tape recording is like a one sided telephone call, but as tapes are sent out through the post all over the world, is cheaper than a telephone call. So that folk can communicate by voice contact. Or if you prefer as pen pals, rather like a pen pal club in sound. In a pen pal club one writes a letter to another person, who reads it then, replies. With tapesponding a person records a message and then sends the recording to another person who listens to it and replies. These are one to one contacts. The medium that is used is usually on a cassette but it could be an open reel tape, mini disc, CD or on a computer via email. The frequency of exchange is entirely up to each couple. The club supplies a membership directory so that you find a suitable person to communicate with. One can send recordings to as many members as one wishes. Some members have one, or have as many as forty contacts. The person wishing to tape usually writes to ask if they would like to tape with you. If they say yes, you supply the tape and make the first recording. The same tape being used over and over again. We make a small charge annually for providing an annual directory, with amendments throughout the year. We also produce a quarterly printed magazine, known as Chatterer’s Word, four times a year, which is made up of member’s articles on many different topics. We also produce a Sound magazine made up of members own recordings. As well as this, we have a few section round robins on a particular subject, ranging from music of all kinds, to documentaries etc, As a lot of our members have new technology and computers, we are introducing emails as a means of contact, instead of taping, or just plain letter writing using either a pen or typewriter. All of our members make a – one to one contact. We are not an open channel like Face book where everyone can read a private email. Our directory is printed in 12pt, but can be enlarged to 24pt LARGE PRINT, on request. We welcome members from other countries too, of all ages and gender. So if you would like to join us, please send your name, address to Maureen Copping, Chatterbox Recording Club P.O. Box 2951 Eastbourne East Sussex BN20 9WZ. Email: maureencopping@yahoo.co.uk There is some info of our club on www.maureenschoice.co.uk where if you email me for an application form, this can be sent electronically.
