Why Play G lf?
Golf is a unique all round sport which can be:
Played by people of all ages
Adaptable to fit your lifestyle
Played alone or in groups
What is golfing etiquette?The manners and customs in golf are known as etiquette. The idea
behind etiquette is to give everyone a chance to play their best,
compete fairly and have fun. Golf etiquette is a mixture of common
sense and courtesy. Every golfer regardless of experience or level
of play will be expected to abide by the same code of behaviour.
Can you play golf without joining a club?You do not have to be a golf club member to play golf - due to changes
in society and lifestyle, golf club membership is no longer for everyone.
You can ‘pay and play’ and take lessons with no commitment.
I think golf is elitist and male dominated - is this true? It may have been in the past but not anymore. Peterborough Golf is
open to everybody to come and try golf and see if you love it as much
as we do. Golf is a stimulating challenge combined with getting out
in the fresh air in pleasant surroundings. A round of golf is not only
enjoyable, it is an excellent way of exercising, as an average 18 holes
usually involves walking between three to five miles.

There are very few other sports that can provide all of the above, so it is hardly surprising that there are an estimated 1.7 million regular golfers in Great Britain.

4 September 2011 | Email: info@scenepublishing.co.uk
Expansion of the city boundaries in 1929 brought
an urgent need for more municipal office space.
The centralisation of accommodation for the various
council departments had long been a discussion
point. The Council in 1904 had bought land between
Midgate and the Cattle Market (the indoor market
at Northminster now occupies part of the site) with
the intention of building a Town Hall and offices on
the Long Causeway and Midgate corner. By 1920 the
whole project was seen to be inadequate and towards
the mid to late 1920s it was proposed to build a
new Town Hall, to widen Narrow Bridge Street and
to construct a new bridge over the river to replace
the existing iron structure (built in 1872) which was
considered too narrow and unsafe.
In 1929 the Mayor’s casting vote decided that the
widening of Narrow Bridge Street should go ahead.
All the buildings on the east side taking in part of
the Cathedral’s Place Gardens helped to create the
Bridge Street we know today.
Later that year the first sod was turned by the Mayor,
Alderman Arthur Craig. The foundation stone of the
new Town Hall was laid by Prince George, Duke of
Kent, on 28 June 1929.
PETERBOROUGH TOWN HALL - Bridge Street
COMMUNITY
5Telephone: 01780 783613 | September 2011
The architect who won the contract was Berry
Webber of London. They planned the building so
that it could take an extra storey. Council offices
in 1929 were located in Midgate, Broadway,
Queen Street, Church Street, as well as in the
Guildhall.
The new Town Hall was officially opened by
Alderman Isaac Whitsted on 16 October
1933 and the original council office buildings
attached to the west side of the Guildhall since
1874 were demolished after World War II.
The opening of the new Town Hall meant that
all Council activities could be housed in the
one building. The latter had not been the case
for nearly 50 years. A further storey to the
existing Town Hall was added about half a
century after it opened.
The interior carpentry was undertaken
by Sage Ltd of Walton, Peterborough who
specialised as cabinet makers but in
World War 1 turned their hands to building
pioneer aircraft. In fact, they were the
first aircraft manufacturers to construct
planes with enclosed cockpits.

Peterborough LionsPeterborough Lions Club and The
Stroke Association are organizing
a spectacular fund raising event in
Peterborough on Sunday October
30th 2011.
Lions’ excellent local charity and
The Stroke Association national
charity will both benefit from
funds raised by volunteers from
Peterborough and surrounding
district who dare to abseil the
tallest office building in Peterborough.
It could be you.
The roof of Hereward House is over
one hundred feet above Midgate. The
view from there is fantastic, with the
most unusual sighting of Peterborough
Cathedral and the city. Application
forms and sponsorship packs for
this fabulous abseil opportunity are
available from Peterborough Lions.
Ask yourself “Dare you dare to?” We’d
love to hear from you.

AN UNIQUE “one stop shop” to support older people
recently opened at 19-25 Westgate in Peterborough.
Services are available for residents, their families and
carers. National charity Age UK has teamed up with Age
UK in Peterborough to bring this first ‘one stop shop’. If
the scheme proves to be successful, it could be offered
elsewhere in the UK. The Age UK Centre was opened by
veteran entertainer and former Coronation Street star
Roy Hudd.
ONE STOP SHOP
COMMUNITY
The shop houses a local Age UK shop, selling new and
donated items, and also a wide range of products to help
older people feel safe and independent at home including
stair-lifts, personal alarms and aids to assist with everyday
tasks such as opening a jar or unlocking a door.
An information centre also offers free guides on topics from
home and care, health and wellbeing, work and learning
and getting involved in volunteering.
Visitors will also be able to have one-on-one consultations
with staff from Age UK Peterborough about its services and
products ranging from help with cleaning and shopping to
assistance in finding home, motor and travel insurance.
The Age UK Centre
in Peterborough will be
open seven days a week.

Congratulations John Clare Primary School Helpston
and Eye C.E. Primary School who have both been
awarded the prestigious Green Flag award symbolising
excellence in environmental activity.
Seven local schools have now achieved Green Flag status,
which is an exceptional achievement for Peterborough.
This is the highest award obtainable as part of the
International Eco-Schools programme administered in
England by Keep Britain Tidy.
In addition to a walking bus and garden club, John Clare
Primary School has installed energy saving features and
altered behaviour patterns to lower their carbon footprint
and improve energy efficiency. Their new extension has
a sedum-covered roof, recycled insulation and energy-
saving light sensors. They generate their own energy from
solar panels and are the first school in Peterborough to
use a biomass boiler.
Two new schools fly their Green Flag!

The boutique’s team is made up of 5
team members including the owners
Melanie and Richard, there’s a variety
of services available including vertical
and laydown sunbeds, hair treatments,
luxury in store products to buy, Gel
nail’s, express up do’s, colour, cuts,
blowdry’s and they even offer free Wi-
Fi for customers!
I headed down to Bridge Street for
my appointment with Star Stylist
Heidi. Once through the doors I was
transported into a spacious nicely laid
out salon with amazing eclectic décor
mixed with a homely feel.
I opted for the restorative hair mask
from the in-store range of Moroccanoil
products, once at the basin I was given
a ‘Scrummy Towel’ which is like a
luxury paper towel, these are disposed
of after use and are biodegradable;
this eliminates the need for a
washing machine resulting in being
more environmentally friendly. After
my treatment my hair felt shiny and
moisturised, now it was time for my
‘Red Carpet Styling’ I choose a curly
blow dry followed by heated rollers
and after 30 minutes and a lot of
chin-wagging with Heidi I felt a million
dollars.
Overall I had a wonderful experience
and it was nice to go to a salon that
felt friendly and had a
nice atmosphere, the
whole team are lovely
and passionate -
you will find yourself
wanting to go back

FRAME YOUR EYES REVIEWWhen I was contacted by Rene’e Christopher owner of Frame Your Eyes to do a review for Semi-Permanent Make-up, I had visions of harsh blocked in eyebrows and over the top eyeliner, but when Rene’e assured me it can actually look really natural and undetectable to the eye I was intrigued, so I went on her website to find out more.
Obviously because of my brow obsession I opted for the Semi-permanent Eyebrow Recreation: Semi-Permanent Make-up (technically known as Micropigmentation) is a cutting edge beauty treatment which achieves flawless lasting colour and definition for eyebrows, lashes, lips or the eye line that will last between 1 and 3 years.
When I met Rene’e I felt instantly at ease, she was welcoming and highly professional and her hygiene standards were impeccable. She talked me through the procedure as she applied
the numbing cream to my brow area and she showed me examples of her work and asked what style I would like to go for. I wanted it to look as natural as possible so I chose the brush stroke look.
As the procedure involves tiny particles of natural and synthetic iron oxide colour pigments that are implanted 1mm below the skin’s surface using a sterile needle (similar to tattooing) I was expecting it to hurt, but I felt nothing, so its unbelievably painless. The whole procedure took just over an hour and I booked my touch up appointment for 4 weeks later. On the second day after the procedure my eyebrows started to flake slightly (totally unnoticeable) which was perfectly normal, during this time the pigmented area looked a little darker than I wanted but after my skin heals the colour will lighten by up to 30%.
After my second top up the procedure will be complete, so this is a chance to
adjust any areas of the brow you may want more filled in or extended. When I saw my finished eyebrows I was really pleased – they looked so natural and perfected in shape.
Overall I absolutely loved this treatment; my features feel enhanced and it helps to keep my brows looking there best 24-7. It’s totally waterproof and means less time getting ready in the morning. I will definitely be going back for my top up when it starts to fade!
Experience rating 10/10 (yes that’s my first 10/10 score)
Semi-permanent Eyebrow Recreation costs £350 including a second touch up and is available at Peterborough Thorpe Wood Esporta

About muscle We have approximately 650 muscles in our body, and they
make up roughly half our bodyweight. They muscles can
be divided into three different groups: skeletal, smooth and
cardiac.
Skeletal muscle: Produces movement, maintains posture,
stabilises joints and generates heat
Smooth muscle: Found in the walls of hollow organs
Cardiac muscle: Exists only in your heart
SummaryAn all over body ‘training’ approach would be a sensible
route to take initially. Ensure that you train each major
muscle group equally i.e. legs, chest, back, shoulders,
arms and core. Also ensure that you train them all equally
and do not over compensate one muscle group for another,
as this could create a postural imbalance.
For parts 1 and 2, previous editions can be viewed online

So moving on from cardiovascular training and flexibility, we now move onto Muscular Strength and Endurance!
Muscular strength is the ability of our muscles to exert
a near maximal force to lift a resistance, translated this
could be lifting either a weight in the gym or lifting an item
at work or at home.
Muscular endurance requires a less maximal force to be
exerted, but for the muscle contraction to be maintained
for a longer duration ‘lifting the item many times’.
The long-term benefits of muscular strength and
endurance training are:
1. Increased bone density
2. Decreased risk of osteoporosis
3. Improved posture and alignment
4. Improved performance of sporting activities
5. Improved body shape and tone
6. Effecieint performance of daily tasks
7. Stronger ligaments, tendons and muscles to
support movement.
Our muscles need to have strength and endurance for a
number of reasons. Muscles work in pairs ‘biceps/triceps’
(front and back of arms) and if one muscle becomes too
strong and the other muscle is weaker, then our joints will
be pulled out of alignment. This could also create postural
defects and lead to injury. You may also need to target
certain muscles to compensate for the imbalances caused
through daily activities.

“Wounds are not always visible” this is the strap line for The Bridge for Heroes a registered charity that offers special rest and recuperation for our serving armed forces, veteraans and their dependants.
Their aim is to provide an environment that assists early identification of post-traumatic stress disorder and other problems that our heroes face on returning to front line operations.
Mike Taylor the founder of The Bridge for Heroes said “when I returned from active operations in Bosnia I would have liked this kind of support. I was stressed and felt alone. Then you get back home and everything just carries on and you don’t deal with the grief of losing friends and comrades. I have formed this charity, with friends, to help with this kind of thing. We get our beneficiaries together for group activities through our contact centres and respite holiday breaks.
Through these, our team are able to show open doors to help of all kinds - financial, emotional, and psychological. We have links with COMBAT STRESS, the SAMARITANS, SAFFA, RELIGIOUS Groups and various Forces Benevolent organisations.” The first festival takes place at Newark Showground’s on 22nd and 23rd October 2011. www.thefestivalofpride.co.uk

Teen SceneBy Megan Templeman
Demi Lovato After her time in rehab last year, the
Disney star is coming back with a
bang. Instead of focusing on her
acting career, she’s decided to focus
on her music, previously stating
that “music has always been a huge
part of my life and has helped me
through some tough times”. She’s
certainly had some tough times,
struggling with bipolar disorder
and eating disorders, but her recent
single ‘Skyscraper’ is proof that
she’s now stronger than ever and
won’t let anything stop her from
succeeding. Her album, ‘Unbroken’,
due to be released soon, promises
interesting collaborations and there
are rumours that she has been
working with both Timbaland and
Missy Elliott.
September inevitably means back to school or college and back to reality. The summer is now officially over and the work begins again, but there’s still a lot to look forward to – new challenges ahead, new opportunities and the chance to see friends that you haven’t seen over the summer months.
MUSIC
If you haven’t already read the Immortals series, I
really would recommend it. The series follows
Ever, a teenage girl who has her life changed
when her family is involved in a car crash
and she is the sole survivor.
She finds herself able to see auras and read
people’s thoughts, and is even in touch with her
deceased younger sister. 0The books, written by
Alyson Noël, have a fantasy feel and are perfect for fans of Twilight or the
House of Night books Evermore is the first title in the series.
BOOKS

At the Paul Pry Where the food is good, solidly wholesome and plentiful...
The Paul Pry, located opposite
Morrisons on Lincoln Road, continue
to surprise me with their new menus
and seasonal dishes.
When I was thinking of somewhere
local to take my family for a great
meal, where I could relax and
let them order exactly what they
wanted, knowing I was not going
to have to remortgage the house, I
remembered that Table Table (at the
Paul Pry) offered great value without
compromising on quality.
As there were 8 of us, I thought I
would log onto their website and see
what they had to offer. With main
meals from £4.99 and everything
under a ‘tenner’(except the grills and
slow cooked duck, which I just had to
have – and it was delicious), decision
was made!
The interior design of the restaurant
offers customers seclusion and
intimate dining if you prefer or
spacious booths and room for parties
too.
We started with three sharing platters
between us and all ordered something
different for mains, ranging from
lasagne, gammon and hunters
chicken to steak, duck and mixed grill.
The service was efficient and with a
smile (what a difference that makes!).
There were two things that really
surprised me that evening;
1) Not one of my hungry brood
asked for a dessert (only due to being
full-up, as the selection was very
tempting.
2) The final bill – it was the final
tick I needed to recommend the Paul
Pry.

Are you looking for something
a bit different from your next
holiday? Hankering for a bit of
world-class shopping but also in
need of recharging the batteries?
Why not look at a two-centre
holiday that combines a few days
of indulgent shopping (with credit
card in tow) with days spent
relaxing on a pristine beach?
Here are a few examples of classic “shop & drop” itineraries:-
NEW YORK & BERMUDAWhat better place to satisfy one’s thirst for retail therapy than the Big
Apple. This is one of the best shopping capitals of the world, with
everything from famous department stores such as Macy’s, Saks &
Bloomingdale’s, designer boutiques and outdoor markets. Then the
highlights of the city simply roll off the tongue like a “who’s who” directory
– Broadway, Times Square, Central Park, Empire State Building, Statue of
Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge, to name but a few.
Just a short-hop across the Atlantic Ocean (less than 2 hour flight) are
the pink-sand beaches and turquoise waters of Bermuda, which offers a
sophisticated and yet totally relaxed island escape. Bermuda is Britain’s
oldest colony and has a wealth of history to explore, including 365
shipwrecks. There are superb beaches dotted all around the island, more
golf courses per square mile than anywhere else in the world, first-class
hotels and resorts, and an array of quality bars and restaurants.
DUBAI & THE MALDIVES Dubai seems to have the first, largest and the biggest of everything! They
currently have the world’s biggest shopping mall, that even has an indoor
ski slope inside, the tallest skyscraper in Burj Khalifa (2,2717 ft), the most
extravagant hotel in the world in Burj Al Arab, plus a marina that is home
to many of the most expensive yachts in the world! Throw in excellent
beaches, world-class golf courses, desert safaris, a massive waterpark,

top restaurants and bars and you have a destination that is a
dreamy world of attractions and unheard of luxuries.
The Maldives are a wonderful collection of desert island gems,
spread over 90,000km2 of the Indian Ocean. Each island is flat
and ringed by a continuous, palm fringed beach of white sand,
lapped by crystal clear waters which stretch to the horizon and
surrounded by reefs which teem with marine life. The essence
of a holiday in The Maldives is one of luxuriating on a glorious
beach, living by the rhythms of nature and allowing the caress
of the breeze to recharge the soul.
CAPE TOWN & MAURITIUSCape Town is a city with very few equals and offers a plethora of
choice. Enjoy shopping in one of the many excellent shopping
malls or craft markets, feast in superb restaurants, dive with
great white sharks, explore a great coastline, travel by cable car
to the top of Table Mountain, laze on beautiful beaches, swim
with penguins and visit Robben Island where Nelson Mandela
was incarcerated.
Mauritius is a verdant tropical island of colour and contrast. This
balmy island has many sophisticated resort hotels which set
standards the world over. For the beach connoisseur and water-
sports lover the island is a treasure…but between the shores
of dazzling sand and blue seas is a scenic island with extinct
volcanoes, lakes, waterfalls, forests and botanical gardens.
All of these options are available through local tour operator Inspirational Travel. For further details or to book simply call 01780 784380 or email info@inspirational-travel.com.

Ryan’s Football Preview
We’ve had lots of goals with Bolton
knocking new boys Qpr for 4 as well as
Man City doing the same to Swansea.
We’ve seen the physicality of the
English game at its best with Stoke
and Chelsea battering each other
to the ground, (fairly may I add) in
an entertaining draw and in certain
individuals like Spaniard David Silva
and Man United new boy Ashley Young
we’ve seen pace, intelligence and
skill at its early season best. Let’s
not forget the pantomime villains of
the piece either coming no more so in
the form of Newcastle’s Joey Barton,
controversially getting involved in
the sending off of Arsenal debutant
Gervinho and just having the all round
ability of winding everyone up!
For me there are three standout
fixtures in September. The first is
Arsenal against Brendan Rodgers
Swansea. For anyone who watches
the second tier in English football you
will know that last season the welsh
club reached the golden gates of the
Premiership with a magnificent style
of play, very similar to the gunners
own brand of passing and moving.
On Sun 18th we then have an early
season contender for game of the
season when champs Man United
host Chelsea, made all the more
intriguing with 33 year old blues
boss Andre Villas-Boas taking on the
veteran that is Sir Alex Ferguson for
the first time in his meteoric career.
The final match which stands out
for me is Man City versus Everton
(24th). Both clubs could not be further
apart financially with City able to rely
on their bottomless pit and David
Moyes having to solely depend on
his management ability, Everton are
the only side to not sign anyone this
summer. Football being football though
all this could go out the window come
kick off, and often it does when these
two meet, with the Merseyside men
taking 6 points from 6 in the last two
seasons. Oh how they’ll wish to make
it three in a row.
Email me your thoughts to: ryan@semplesoccer.co.uk and
visit: www.semple-soccer.co.uk where I will post all my responses
We’re now 2 fixtures into the Barclays Premier League season and I think we can all agree it’s been an entertaining start with plenty of talking points.
POSH PreviewLast month I talked
about a hope that
Posh would start the
season well with the
most important thing
being too make London
Road a fortress and
play some entertaining
football. Well with 9
goals scored, and 6
points in the bag with
just 2 games to date
I think we can safely
say Darren Ferguson’s
men have achieved
that target! With a
loss at Blackpool and
a gutsy fightback to
draw 2-2 at hostile
Millwall the other
two results, a good
start has definitely
been achieved. Let’s
hope this month’s
games against Hull,
Burnley, West Ham and
Portsmouth don’t put
too much of a spanner
in those works.
