We have so far had quite an unusual British summer. A British Wimbledon

champion, a blistering heat wave, a royal baby. I thought last year would be hard

to top after the excitement and success of the Olympics, but ‘Summer 2013’ has

already pulled its socks up (hopefully whilst not wearing flips flops—particularly

those with a toe post). It will probably rain frogs for the next two months now,

but at least we have experienced enough excitement to keep us going.

After quite a break, the Epping Horticultural Show re-emerged on the local event

calendar last year, and after its returning success, has been organised with great

aplomb this year for Saturday 24 August at St John’s Church, Epping. The event

showcases local green-fingered and baking enthusiasts and so really is a great

family day out. If you would like to take part, host a stall, sponsor or help out,

then please get in touch with the Show Secretary (see page 16 for details).

Why are you here?

This is not some deep larger philosophical question but

more a basic enquiry that I make to most of the people

who step through the door of my gym. I hazard a guess

that if you walked into most globo-gyms and asked the

majority of people slaving away on treadmills or

resistance machines they would not be able to give you a

definitive water-tight answer to a very simple question.

The people in these gyms ‘work out’ regularly. Usually

with little variance in program, no monitoring of progress

or performance, and thus a complete lack of knowledge

or critical analysis of whether their ‘working out’ is

actually having any effect. The problem with working out

is it lacks a direction. It lacks goals and drives to improve.

Working out is at best, simply treading water. May I

suggest that we look to take a leaf out of the books of

high level athletes and learn how to train.

What is training?

Athletes are very driven people. They have clear goals

and time frames in which they want to achieve them.

Athletes are very much in-tune with their bodies (the

smart ones are anyway) and know where they are on the

greater performance landscape. Without a clear idea of

what we want to achieve we can never truly call ourselves

athletes. But it goes a little deeper than simply having

goals and objectives. Training for an athlete is very much

a mind-set.

Every time an athlete steps in the gym he or she has the

mind-set that they are going to achieve something within

their session. Whether this as part of a larger macro cycle

or even something very specific to that session, like a 1rm

test for example they have a clear idea of what and why

they are doing their session in the gym. This makes every

session they do of great benefit to the overall goal of the

training.

So, here in brief is a quick rundown of someone who

works out and someone who trains.

Workout people:

⇒Have vague goals – if any (“I just want to get fit” is a

personal favourite)

⇒Do not time frame their goals

⇒Have no short or long term plans for training

⇒Do not monitor progress or performance

⇒Do not analyse their training (is it working? Could it be

better?)

⇒Do not plan their sessions – have no periodised way of

training

Athletes:

⇒Have clear defined goals and ideas about what they

want to achieve

⇒Know WHEN they want to achieve them

⇒Have both long and short term goals

⇒Have a plan for each training session

⇒Continually monitor, evaluate and adapt their training

sessions

So the question is do you workout or do you train? Please

let us know, we can help you become a better athlete!

Concept Fitness is a family-run private

Strength and Conditioning gym based in

Epping. The purpose built facility has a clien-

tele of ages ranging from 7 to 87, with each

medals.

Lateness. Tardiness. Call it what you will, but I hate it. It is

the thing that annoys me above all other. Ranking above

people over the age of fourteen who cycle on pavements,

dog owners who do not pick up what their animals leave

behind, shop assistants who make you feel like a

trespasser, drivers who to not signal a thank you when

you let them into the traffic... don't worry, there are only

another ninety five things on this list...oh, okay, I'll move

on.

I hate people being late, as I am perpetually early for

pretty much everything. This is not an astounding

revelation. Well, it might be to those friends who always

turn up late to meet me, as they are never bloody there

to see me turn up early. I am a tolerant person (this may

be a lie). But I find it hard to tolerate lateness; it makes

me grind my teeth in frustration. And there is always time

for a spot of grinding, as I wait for someone to arrive who

texted twenty minutes ago to tell me they were five

minutes away.

But before I go any further, I wish to address the

terminology of tardiness. 'Tardiness' is way too gentle a

word to do the heinous act of being late any sort of

justice at all. Etymologically speaking, 'tardy' comes from

the fourteenth century (oh yes, I can Google with the best

of them) and means 'slow, sluggish, dull, stupid'. Hmm, I

am warming to it all of a sudden. But it is still not right.

And the word 'late' is just too bland. It says nothing of the

rudeness involved with making someone wait. I know of

no word that really works. So I suggest, in the current

vogue for portmaneaux - or word mash up - in the vein of

'Brangelina' or 'TomKat' (I suspect it is so popular to

combine celebrity couple's names as they are just too

annoying to warrant using any more oxygen than strictly

necessary) I posit a new word: Twardy. You can see here

that I have taken part of the aforementioned tardy as the

second element, and another word that begins with 'twa'

to describe someone who is late. I think that fits the bill

nicely.

Unless the person that I am waiting for arrives with one

leg dangling from their hip by one remaining sinew, and

has a tale to tell about a rabid hedgehog who escaped

from the local laboratory, there is no excuse for being

twardy. It's all in the planning. People set off for their

destination in their car leaving exactly the right amount of

time to cover the miles only if they were driving a Ferrari

and everyone else on the roads suddenly decided to pull

over and have a cup of tea. It's not going to happen. What

will happen is you will have to stop at those coloured

things called traffic lights, and other cars will be in front of

you, and lots of people will be also trying to get to the

same place as you, and you might get behind one of those

big lorry-type things, all of which meaning YOU SHOULD

HAVE SET OFF EARLIER YOU DIMWIT.

And the excuses. Really. Someone arrived late for a meet-

ing with me, and announced that would I believe it, the

tubes were running slow. Now let me think. The tube

train? Delayed? At which point should this be a surprise

to anyone? Or the classic: 'I just didn't realise the time'.

Indeed. The concept of time passing is a tricky one to

grasp. What with everyone learning to tell the time when

they are kids and there being clocks flipping everywhere...

on your wrist, your phone, your computer, in the car... I

can understand why some people get confused and think

it is 9.47am all day.

It is difficult to have a strategy to deal with twardies. I

could, theoretically, turn up late myself, knowing that the

twardy would probably be later still. But I can't do it. It is

too rude, and annoying, and my head may explode. Yet I

married a twardy. I think I must have either been drunk or

just wanted a challenge. Either way, I spend a lot of time

waiting for him. We were once invited to a boat party on

the Thames. It set sail at 7.30pm, so I lied and told him

6.15pm. We made it onto that boat with one minute to

spare, and even that involved a bit of light running.

I am hoping that somewhere, there are a crack team of

scientists beavering away on a cure for twardiness.

Maybe a little pill, or a microchip implanted into the

brain. Or failing that, a flipping great watch a foot in

diameter stapled to every twardy's wrist. I'll help with the

stapling. I have plenty of time to spare.

WITH the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby

poised to make its grand entrance into this world (if it

hasn't already by the time you read this) the office

sweepstake du jour is: baby names. Mr Forem has

already landed' Richard' in his office whip round which

is a bit of an outsider given the third king of that

name's tarnished reputation. But one thing is a sure-

fire bet - it won't be one of those 'unique' names that

celebrities - and so-called normal people - are

plumping for. Is North West really going to thank

daddy Kanye for that little number when she grows

up? Methinks not. And as for poor little Apple - that

name might have sounded cute when the little

blossom was a babe-in-arms but it won't take a

treemendous effort for her classmates to take the

mickey out of her come senior school. I've pipped

them to it already. (See what I did there?)

I digress (or have branched out - I must stop this now).

But you only have to look at past examples such as

Zowie Bowie (who became Joe Jones before resorting

to Duncan Jones) or Keith Richard's daughter

Dandelion (now Angela) to see that their parents' idea

of a great name is not such a laugh to the person sad-

dled with it. And they were kids of famous people.

Imagine running the gauntlet of a state school under

the name of Princess Tiamii (usual spelling) or Hero

(come on Myleene, that's never a girls’ name) or in

fact any of the names of Paula Yates' clan .

So a plea to all prospective parents out there from

your unborn children: if you're got a wacky moniker in

mind, please save it for a middle name.

IN a wonderful Michael Fish- style moment no sooner

had our best meteorological brains declared that it

would rain for ten years, the clouds parted and the

sun scorched down upon our now- parched earth.

IF the heatwave does continue (I'm hedging my bets)

Mr Forem kindly asks would people synchronise their

lawn-mowing and do it in the morning so he can

snooze in peace in the afternoon? Just a thought.

IF however the raindrops are streaking down the

windows by now, then I have a tip for coping with it.

Simply plant lots of flowers, vegetables and herbs in

the garden. It doesn't matter what, just plant loads of

the things. Then when it pours the disappointment

can be tempered with the thought: "At least I don't

have to go out and water the plants tonight."

IS it just me that gets the creeps with that Santander

advert. You'd call the stalking police if someone

popped out from behind your bedroom mirror to offer

comments on your dress sense. Famous or not.

Top Employment Law Myths Mike Newman

1 A complaint is only a grievance

if it is in writing

The ACAS Code of Practice

recommends that grievances

should be in writing, but there is no particular legal require-

ment. Between October 2004 and April 2009 there was a

statutory grievance procedure which did require that the

grievance had to be in writing if the complainant wished it

to be treated under that procedure. Most grievance

procedures require an informal attempt at resolution as

the first stage, and it is an implied contractual expectation

that employees will be afforded prompt and reasonable

opportunities to redress grievances. If an employee raises a

complaint, that is more than the day to day moan, which

can’t be resolved informally, it’s advisable to ask them

whether they wish to have their concern treated as a

grievance, and then to advise them of the manner in which

the grievance should be raised. Your procedure may

require that the complaint is put in writing, but it would be

dangerous to ignore a complaint simply because it was not

put in writing. A grievance about discrimination or any

other statutory breach will still need addressing.

2 Absent employees should be left to recover in peace and

should not be contacted by their managers?

Concerns in this area usually focus around the danger that

the employee may allege that contacting them during their

sickness absence amounts to harassment, particularly

where the absence is due to work related reasons. For this

reason many employers make specific provision in their

contract for keeping in touch with employees whilst they

are absent. It’s important to strike the right balance

between showing concern, and being intrusive. Probably

the best approach is to share an expectation that you will

keep in touch, that they should phone you if there is any

update on their condition, and that you will phone them

again in a ‘fortnight or so’.

3 After you have made someone redundant, you cannot

reemploy in the same position for 3 months

This myth is based on the fact that dismissed employees

have three months to go to a Tribunal and complain about

it. This has meant that a cautious employer will not

reemploy for three months so that this cannot be used in a

case against them. In practice it is possible to reemploy,

and there is no obligation to offer the post back to the

redundant employee. The challenge will be convincing the

Tribunal that the redundancy was genuine, and here they

will be concerned about what was in the employers mind

when the original decision was made. This will be possible

to do. How often does an organisation make redundancies,

and then find it has gone too far, or gets a new contract

which it did not expect?

4 You can’t dismiss an employee whilst they are on

maternity leave

One of the most popular myths this! It arises from the fact

that it is an automatically unfair dismissal to dismiss a

woman because of pregnancy, and is also sex

discrimination. This does not mean that someone on

maternity leave cannot be dismissed, for instance for

redundancy or for conduct. The former is the circumstance

where this question usually comes up, and the key is that

the woman should not be chosen for redundancy because

of her being pregnant or on maternity leave, or any reason

that arises from that.

5 You must always suspend the employee if you think

there may be a situation where gross misconduct is a

potential outcome

Dangerous one this, particularly where a long suspension

may affect the employee’s ability to continue in their role if

they are not dismissed. This is particularly true in the caring

professions, or in senior managerial roles where their repu-

tation may be tarnished or their authority undermined.

Suspensions are necessary if there is a danger that the

employee may re offend, or where it is necessary in order

to carry out the investigation.

An employee who is accused of bullying does not need

suspending if they are about to depart on holiday, and then

have a two week business trip abroad so that it is possible

to ensure that they don’t have any contact with the com-

plainant, and will not discuss the situation with other em-

ployees.

Suspension should not be a knee jerk reaction, should be as

short as possible, and must be kept under regular review.

In practice, the nature of the accusations and how the

individual responds to them, are likely to pay a key part in

any decision making about the need for suspension.

6 My social networking activities are private and can’t be

used by my employer

The whole area of social media and the workplace is a fast

developing area of case law, about which it is not

necessarily possible to give hard and fast answers.

Individuals cannot have any reasonable expectation that

anything posted on the internet is private, and if social

media comments bring the employer into disrepute, then it

is a legitimate cause for action. Also, case law is suggesting

that the details of contacts made during the course of

employment remain company property, and it is legitimate

to require their deletion from social media sites when

someone leaves.

Summertime Heather Waring

Schools broken up and sunshine, it can seem as if every-

one is in holiday mode at the moment. It never ceases to

amaze me just what difference this makes to the volume

of traffic on the roads and the fact that is easier to get a

seat on the tube at rush hour. I was picking up some

friends from Stansted on Monday and the airport was

mobbed – bodies everywhere but all fairly upbeat and

good-humoured.

I suppose I gave all this very little thought but then

yesterday as I sat in the hairdressers having a scalp

massage (pure bliss) I was very aware of the buzz of

conversation, most of which revolved around peoples

impending summer holiday. Talk of Chateaux complexes

in France, cottages in the Lakes and whitewashed Greek

apartments soon developed further into lively discussions

and even debates about the variety of foods. Likes and

dislikes were aired dramatically and the courage to try

very different foods discussed. For me trying new things

and getting into the culture through exploration and

chatting to people is part of what holidays are all about.

In any public place where you

overhear conversations, there

is often much doom and gloom

around. People are keen to

voice their feelings about what

government has just done, the

state of the local roads,

complaints about workplace

issues etc but this time it was

different. Animation, energy and laughter filled the air

and this was reflected in people’s body language which

was much more open.

So what is it that can bring about such a change? Is it

one thing or a combination? The weather does make a

difference – I wonder is this the reason why people who

live in warmer climates seems to have less stress and are

more positive? How much of it is the actual holiday?

What in fact do holidays represent for you? Is it a chance

to escape, a chance to do something different, is it that

feeling of relaxation that tends to creep up on you as

you drive on to the ferry, board the plane or set off

down the autobahn or could it be expectations? Is it

having something to look forward to? It might be

different things to different people and that is fine, what

is important is learning how we could bring more of this

into our everyday lives so it isn’t a once or twice a year

occurrence.

Now some action for you if you’d like more of this feel

good feeling and fulfilment. It needn’t take a long time

by the way. Set aside 30 minutes or longer just for you

(put a set time on it though so there is a start and finish)

and armed with pen and paper just think through what

holidays mean and give to you? What aspect of them do

you enjoy the most? Now this might seem like a weird

question but some people get much more satisfaction

out of the planning stage than the holiday itself. If this is

true, how can you then incorporate this into life? If you

are an excellent planner and organiser are you doing

enough of this? It is reflected in your job, your interests,

the role you play? If having something to look forward to

is what fuels you, then arrange more things to get ex-

cited about. How could you continue all this positivity

every day?

anything else, email me on heather@waringwell.com

At last month’s confidence workshop one of the members

asked:

“Does your background in psychology mean you have

superman techniques to stop you from ever feeling

afraid or nervous?”

The answer is no. I can’t speak for all therapists when I

say this but sometimes I do feel anxious if I’m doing

something new because fear is a normal response to

having challenged myself. The difference is that confi-

dence training gave me the tools to go ahead and do

those new things anyway- despite the fear.

“I do feel very vulnerable when I perform a song for the

first time. I may not say it but I’m terrified. But I like that

nervousness I don’t like it in the moment. But I know

that it means I want it. It means its challenging to me

and I’m doing the right job. You can’t be too comfortable

too confident” Beyoncé Knowles

Most fear today is psychological. Worry, tension and

embarrassment all stem from mismanaged negative

imagination. But what if you don’t really know what you

are afraid of and you keep getting stuck in some aspect of

life? What if anxiety just grips

you for no apparent reason? You

suspect perhaps you need a

much earned confidence boost,

a new job, a new brain, a new

love- maybe even a new continent.

Sometimes fear can rest in our subconscious minds. You

may not be aware that you are afraid of being humiliated

for example, but the unconscious fear lies beneath the

surface of conscious awareness and quietly colours the

choices you make from day to day. The good news is you

can begin to unravel these limitations quite quickly. As my

own master teacher used to say ‘you don’t have to use a

sledgehammer to crack a walnut’.

Simply knowing the breeding ground of fear doesn’t nec-

essarily stop it; if your Doctor examines your aches and

pains he doesn’t stop once he finds the site of infection,

he introduces healing or support structures like a stint to

get that part up and running again.

People may put off personal development at the thought

of lengthy expensive ten year stints on the therapist

couch. Those couches have their place but everyone

deserves a chance to feel great and that’s why all of our

sessions are brief, beautiful and easy to access. Whether

that’s holistic hypnotherapy for confidence, de-stress

meditation classes or natural energy courses it has never

been easier to be happy and feel great!

Top three for a fear free summer Acceptance: Fear is truly a force and the best way to work

with a force is to do as the martial artists do in the ancient

art of BUDO and roll with the energy. Don’t fight it, resist

it, shout at it and otherwise squeeze it out of you. Ac-

knowledge and accept your feelings, and they’ll pass

before you know it.

Decide: Lose all and any attitudes of average. You are far

from average and are capable of great things. Decide to

make some you time today. It could be the single most

important thing you do for your future happiness.

Act: Confidence comes from engagement not thought.

The real unblocking happens the moment you take action.

The moment you feel the fear and do it anyway old blocks

melt away and a new shiny layer of confidence is there

waiting for you.

If your website is not on the top page of Google for the

services, products or information you offer, you are

missing out on a great opportunity: More than 80% of

searchers use Google and 95% look no further than the

top results page.

The position of a webpage for a keyword (search terms)

on Google depends on its relevance and authority.

Relevance is determined by the words used in the visible

text on the webpage and in the underlying coding.

Synonyms and associated keywords contribute to

relevancy. Incoming links from other websites act like

votes conveying authority to webpages and websites.

They also contribute to relevance by their anchor (linking)

text.

The authority of a webpage is determined by the total

value of the incoming links to the specific webpage com-

peting for a keyword and to the website in general - web-

site authority. Authority is more important than rele-

vance.

PageRank is Google’s indication of the authority it gives to

webpages. Website authority is best indicated by the

PageRank of the HomePage. There is evidence that

Google gives a positioning boost to HomePages that are

competing for keywords: You should use your HomePage

as your trump card.

Keyword difficulty is a measure of the strength of the top

competing webpages for a keyword. The author has de-

veloped a free technique that determines keyword diffi-

culty by averaging the combined website and webpage

PageRanks authorities of the webpages currently on the

top Google results page for keywords; an automated

program is available which analyses a list of keywords

using the technique – Keyword SEO Pro.

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the skill of achieving

top page positioning of a website on the search engines

for targeted keywords to bring in new visitors and clients.

Success depends mainly on building incoming links from

external authority webpages using your targeted key-

words in the linking text.

Epping Horticultural Society—

growing on last year’s success

Following the triumphant return of The Epping

Horticultural Show in 2012, this year’s annual

garden and the kitchen with displays of vegeta-

bles, flowers and home-baking.

Christine Burgess, Chairman of the Epping Horti-

cultural Society said, “Showcasing the

talents of local gardeners and bakers from all

levels and helping to build strong links with

businesses and experts in the community is

important to our society and we hope our show

will encourage the gardeners of Epping to get

growing and give it a go!”

I regularly have people come to me after years of taking

pain killers. And I am reminded of this fact - if everyone in

the world who had taken aspirin over a year were lined

up they would reach the moon and back. Incredible isn’t

it?

Most people take pain killers because they are in pain.

Maybe an obvious statement, but do we really under-

stand what pain is? No one wants to be in pain, however

it is normal and it protects and preserves. Our brain

decides if something hurts and tells us that we are in

danger and need to take action.

Our nervous system is constantly telling our brain about

changes that are happening in our body tissues. Generally

these happenings never reach our consciousness so we

do not have pain. But on occasions we do and this is what

is good to understand.

How much pain we are in does not necessarily relate to

the amount of tissue damage that has occurred. Tissue

damage causes inflammation and it is this that activates

our danger sensors making the neurons more sensitive.

They send danger messages to our brain and if the brain

decides we need to do something we get pain.

Inflammation is a primitive form of defence that is

needed to repair damaged tissues. So the swelling, pain

and redness you get after an injury is part of your own

internal repair system. This causes people most concern,

but it is just a way of getting blood and healing chemicals

to the damaged area.

Muscles get blamed for a lot of pain. Although they can

be a major part of pain, they are quite difficult to injure

severely. They can however, become unhealthy and weak

especially if they are not used or used in the wrong way.

They are meant to move so not moving for a while or

sitting on something that creates pressure can lead to

fluid build up.

Our brain controls our muscle movement and it is the

brain that produces pain to motivate us to escape the

hurt. It then primes our big, long movement muscles,

putting ourselves in a state of readiness. Our muscles are

not designed to remain in this constant state of readiness

for long periods. If this happens they contract and shorten

and we start to feel stiff, our shoulders ache, we get neck

and back pain and we feel tense.

Back pain causes changes in the muscles of your back and

sometimes, even if the pain goes away, the muscles do

not return to normal. The structures of your spine may

become compressed or less controlled. And if you are

afraid of the pain returning it can also prevent muscles

returning to normal.

Learning the Alexander Technique can help you prevent

or reduce conditions associated with undue tension or

poor posture. These include pain and weakness, coordina-

tion and movement, and joint or muscle problems. To-

gether we will look at the way you carry yourself and hold

tension. I can then teach you to move more naturally and

freely, addressing the underlying cause of your problems.

The Alexander Technique can help rehabilitation after

surgery, injury or illness. It can improve management of

pain and provide coping skills for chronic illness and

disabilities.

Stephanie Smith is a Member of the Society of Teachers

of the Alexander Technique (MSTAT). She has been

teaching the Alexander Technique for 19 years and has a

practice in Theydon Bois. She can be contacted on 01992

Changing the face

of ageing in Epping Home Instead launches

with MP’s backing

Eleanor Laing, MP for Epping Forest, was the guest of

honour at the official opening of Home Instead Senior

Care Epping Forest, held in June at the Quaker House,

Hemnall Street in Epping.

Home Instead’s office is based on the second floor on the

high street but to enable older clients and members of

the community to join in the celebrations, the event was

held at the fully accessible Quaker House. Around 60

people attended in order to show their support for new

owner, Victoria Rigby (pictured with Eleanor Laing) whose

company specialises in looking after older people in their

own homes. Guests included caregivers, clients and

members of the local community.

Victoria said, “We had a really successful office opening

celebration. I was delighted and touched by the support

of Home Instead in Epping, in particular from Eleanor,

who gave a lovely talk about

how important care is in the

local community and her per-

sonal experiences of finding

care. In fact, she even spoke of

carers who looked after her

loved ones still being on her

Christmas card list, so I know

she genuinely understands

what we do.”

Guests were given refresh-

ments including bespoke Home

Instead decorated cupcakes

and invited to view displays that included a memory

board with clients’ writings and photos.

Victoria continued, “I started this business in December

and I’m really proud of our fantastic team of caregivers

who are actively changing the face of ageing in Epping

through their professional, compassionate and caring

natures. Building friendships is key, the relationship

between caregiver and client is crucial to ensuring that

clients feel safe and secure.”

“We’re really looking forward to supporting older people

in the Epping community. Ensuring we do everything we

can to enable them to stay at home for as long as possi-

ble, where they are happy and comfortable. We want to

give families the freedom to relax in the knowledge that

their loved ones are in excellent hands.”

The service clients receive from Home Instead Senior Care

is tailored to their individual needs and ranges from

companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping,

post-discharge care, personal care, medication reminders,

shopping and errands. The service is available 24 hours a

day, seven days a week to elderly people across Epping

Forest and the surrounding areas including Chigwell,

Debden, High Beach, Loughton, Toot Hill and Waltham

Abbey.

Home Instead or about joining the team, please call

Epping Forest ReUse Centre Can you help?

Epping Forest ReUse Centre is a not-for-profit social

enterprise scheme, that aims to prevent useful items

from going into landfill, when there are many people who

could benefit from having quality reusable furniture.

Based at the Bower Hill Industrial Estate in Epping, the

scheme was borne out of former district councillor Janet

Whitehouse’s distress at seeing people’s unwanted

furniture destined for landfill. She told Magascene,

“About eight years ago I was upset to see good furniture

in gardens waiting to go to the tip when, as a district

councillor, I knew people were given tenancies and had

no furniture to put in their flat.” Janet is now a trustee of

the scheme along with Glynis Shieill and Doreen Miller.

Working in partnership with Lighthouse Furniture, a

registered charity based in Brentwood, the scheme is

designed to serve the local community. Epping Forest

ReUse Centre, which recently celebrated its official launch

in May, provides furniture, white goods and household

items to the general public and to those on a low income

at significantly reduced prices (sometimes for free).

Volunteers work together to collect clean domestic

furniture, appliances and other reusable items. There is

no charge to donate. Furthermore, workshop staff

recondition, repair and test all electrical items to make

sure they function correctly.

They are looking for volunteers to help with all manner of

roles, from helping to crew the van, working in the ware-

house to administration. Epping Forest ReUse is also

looking for volunteers with DIY skills to renovate the

furniture which is being donated.

In terms of items, they are presently looking at receiving

cookers, fridge/freezers and washing machines.

If you would like to volunteer your services, donate goods

or find out more, then please call 01992 578222, email-

info@eppingreuse.org.uk or go to

www.eppingreuse.org.uk.

THEYDON BOIS DONKEY DERBY

July 14, 2013

This year’s Donkey Derby in Theydon Bois is believed to

have broken previous records in terms of money raised.

Although official figures are not yet in, the glorious

weather and pretty village green location brought

visitors in their droves. With donkey races, a dog show,

stalls, attractions, raffle and refreshments, the annual

event has become something of a fixture in the village.

What’s more, money raised goes towards the scouts,

guides and other youth groups in Theydon Bois.

The Donkey Derby had a medieval theme this year,

although everyone was thankfully very civilised in their

behaviour and the event made for a great carnival

atmosphere!
