viewtimperley.co.uk6The Winner is...We published three competitions in View

Timperley issue 9. The winners were as follows:

Lucy Campbell won our competition in association with our friends Laserina. Lucy won a one day mini spa experience including : Instant Inch Loss body wrap, non-surgical Face lifting therapy, luxury hand massage, Ultrasonic Deep skin cleansing and Endermologie Body treatment.

After the event, Lucy told View Timperley:

“I have had my treatments this afternoon, I had a wonderful time. Normally I would not have this kind of pampering and having two small children I don’t indulge in this way often. I have never had a professional facial or the body treatments. Really impressed with the wrap lost 3 inches and I did feel the difference afterwards especially on my stomach. I also wanted to say how absolutely lovely Irina and Nina were at the clinic, they could not have been warmer in their welcome to me. I always think salons are intimidating to average woman, well Laserina is homely, welcoming and accommodating. I will be sure to visit again at some point in the future. Thank you for running the competition and thank you Nina and Irina xxx”

Dean Panayiotou won our competitions in association with our friends Harlequin. Dean won 2 x 12” pizzas.

Karen Hartley won our competitions in association with our friends over at the Garrick Playhouse. Karen won 2 tickets to See Dick Whittington. Karen commented:

“Just wanted to say that we had a really good time at the panto. Thank-you”

IPL Vessels Removal is accepted to be one of the most successful treatments for unwanted facial veins, red face, flushing and Rosacea by Dermatologists throughout NHS.

All people blush, either with embarrassment or after spicy food and alcohol. But for some people such facial flushing has turned into a life-long nuisance and suffering. Rosacea is chronic condition which is more common in fair-skinned people and runs in families.

Unfortunately, for many sufferers, the biggest problem is not physical, but psychological. This condition has a dramatic impact on their self-confidence and self-esteem causing avoiding public contact and social engagements.

In our clinic in Sale we offer Free consultation and guarantee satisfactory result if you are a right candidate for the treatment. We have an extensive medical experience and hold advanced qualifications in Laser/IPL treatments.

viewtimperley.co.uk�Environmentally Friendly Self Build Family HomeLocated near Timperley

village, this new build environmentally friendly family home nestles behind a number of traditional semi-detached properties. Prior to Hunter Architects & Planners involvement, the site had a chequered planning history with several failed attempts to achieve planning approval for a detached house. The owners wanted a fun, bright, contemporary but affordable family home, with good day-lighting, links to the garden, reduced bills and substantial storage. The result is a building of its time, designed by Timperley based Hunter Architects & Planners to respond to the site simply and elegantly, whilst minimising the potential overlooking from neighbouring dwellings.

The main family and kitchen areas open onto the garden via large south facing folding doors, with the more private rooms at the rear of the property looking onto a smaller courtyard garden. The master suite is contained within the roof, where the pitch creates high ceilings and substantial storage within the eaves spaces.

Whilst constructed on a tight budget, the architects approach and imaginative designs have created a unique house with a number of bespoke elements included such as a custom made front door, staircase and kitchen. The kitchen was designed by the

Architects and constructed by a local craftsmen and the design creates a timeless, sleek, but functional family kitchen which has become the heart of the home.

The house was constructed to meet Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3, to demonstrate that a sustainable family home can be developed on a commercially viable budget. The strategy was to incorporate features that would have an immediate and ongoing benefit to the occupiers with little maintenance or detailed knowledge. Thus low water use of less than 80 litres/ person/ day is achieved by rainwater harvesting (for use in the WC’s, the sprinkler system, washing machine and externally) as well as low flow rate taps and efficient appliances. Solar gains from large areas of south facing glazing along with a heat exchanger ensure minimal use of the underfloor heating, while electrical demand is reduced by incorporating good day lighting generally as well as 80% dedicated energy efficient

light fittings.

The house also meets Secured by Design and Lifetime Homes accreditation. Secured by Design is a Police initiative which focuses on crime prevention at the design, layout and construction of homes. Lifetime Homes is a concept to develop flexible and adaptable homes which incorporate elements to support the changing needs of individuals and families at different stages of life.

The concepts and ideas incorporated into this house, including the sense of space and light as well as energy efficiency measures are equally as valid for existing homes, whether by way of upgrading, remodelling or extensions.

viewtimperley.co.uk�0The Friends of Moss Park GardensSpring is in the air and the

transformation of the gardens on the corner of Moss Lane and Park Road continues. The Friends of Moss Park Gardens have been successful in convincing the Council of the potentially unsafe condition of the sub-station canopy. If everything

01925 210669

goes according to plan, by the time you read this, the canopy will have been demolished. We can then”goodbye” ( or will it be “good riddance”) to a local blot on the landscape. Once the work is completed, the Friends intend to create a stunning flower bed in front of the sub-station to mask

some of its less pleasing features.You doubt that spring is in the air ? Look closely at the flower bed around the perimeter of the gardens. Hundreds of bulbs which were planted last autumn are already pushing through the cold soil and should be flowering soon. In addition, the

two raised flower beds have been planted up with wallflowers and winter flowering pansies and the many dozens of polyanthus should be a riot of colour before too long.

A number of the Friends are keen to know more about the history of the gardens site. We know it has not always been gardens and we are told that 50/60 years ago two very old cottages stood on the site. Do you have any memories or photographs of the site which you could share with us ? If so, do please let us know. We would love to hear from you.

This would seem an opportune time to express a few words of thanks. Firstly, to Trafford Council’s officers and maintenance team for their co-operation and continuing support. Secondly, to the three Councillors who represent Timperley Ward for all their encouragement. They really do make a difference

And last but by no means least, a huge “Thank You” to the dedicated band of helpers who regularly get their hands dirty and put their backs into the gardening. Without them none of what has been achieved would have been possible.

It’s worth noting here that none of the Friends knew each other before the group was formed but they have enjoyed hours of fun along the way. The Friends group are far from being a “closed shop” and would welcome more members.

Arthritis Altrincham & District BranchView Timperley recently

caught up with Val Hyde, the Secretary of the Arthritis Altrincham & District Branch. Val was looking forward at the committees 2011 programme.

On Saturday 9th April 2011 the committee will host a Spring Fair & Coffee morning, at the

Larkhill Centre in Timperley from 10:30am – 12 noon. Val Commented:

“The Larkhill Centre is a great venue and we have small tables in the middle of the room for people to sit and have coffee. We have a modest entrance fee which includes coffee and

biscuits. We have a sandwich bar, where people can choose what they would like in their sandwich, cakes and produce, Tombola, plants, books, cards and Arthritis Care information booklets. Our local MP, Graham Brady, and the Mayor of Trafford have always supported our Fair. Anyone can attend the Spring Fair - in fact, that is just what we want - This is our biggest fund raiser of the year and has, in the past, always been a busy and very happy occasion. People chat over their coffee and never seem in too much of a hurry to leave.”

There is before and after

school care provided for the working parent and a comprehensive list of after school activities offered to the children.

Though the school is not selective at infant level, Forest has great expectations and, as a result, the aspiration of the children are high, with great achievements occurring in and out of the classroom.The pupils are renowned for

the standard that they achieve musically and in the sporting arena, and for their polite and well-mannered behaviour when taking part in a myriad of out-of-school activities and events.

and carers to try a fun, new experience which not only aids baby’s development but offers the chance to socialise with other grown-ups at the same time.”

Karen said: “Babies are encouraged to participate in rhythmic activity which leads to the recognition of body parts like fingers; toes, tummies etc. As the children get older and they develop dexterity, it helps their social and memory skills as they begin to independently join in with the wriggling, tapping, clapping, stretching and squeezing. It’s wonderful to watch them taking a more and more active role, particularly in the lion’s roar at the end! Winning the award was the icing on the cake!”

Baby Move & Groove uses activities, exercises, music, songs and games to promote your child’s movement, balance, posture and memory skills. Different types of music each week, from jazz, rock n roll, classical, gospel, and pop, make it as much fun for you as it is for your baby!

YogaView Timperley caught up with

Janet Long, a yoga teacher who practises and teaches yoga right here in Timperley.

What is Yoga?

Yoga originated in South East Asia over 3000 years ago. The term is from the ancient Sanskrit language and means “to unite” or “to be whole”. In effect, the primary aim of yoga is to bring mind, body and spirit into union to create health and happiness. One of the ways of doing this is by practising Hatha Yoga (i.e. physical postures and breath work). How long have you practised Yoga?

I have been practising Yoga for just over 7 years.

How did you get into Yoga?

Like most people in this country I started yoga as a way of getting fit and toned. I have always been quite flexible doing gymnastics

when I was at school and then going to aerobic and step aerobic classes in my early 20s but had got out of the habit of attending an exercise class after I had started to have pains in my knees. This is often a result of high impact workouts so when I decided I needed to get back into exercise I thought yoga would be a safer option.

Can a student continuously develop through Yoga?

Yes they can, I think that as with most things in life you never stop learning. There are often variations and modifications that can be made to poses which help beginners become familiar with how their body should move and feel and then over time they find they can deepen a pose or stay there for a longer period. I have had students who initially couldn’t reach the floor when

they bent forward but through practicing yoga regularly now can do so easily.

Why do you think people can feel intimidated by Yoga? How can they overcome this?

Often people are put off because they are convinced that everyone who goes to Yoga classes will be skinny, ultra fit and very flexible. They may have concerns regarding their body image or health problems. I have even heard that some people think Yoga is a religious thing and that somehow the teacher will try to convert them! This is certainly not the case and anyone irrespective of religious/spiritual beliefs can enjoy the benefits of a yoga class.

I would always suggest that anyone thinking of taking up Yoga contacts the teacher of the class they hope to join to find out if the class is suitable for beginners but also what the

maximum class size is. I like to have no more than 12 in my private classes so I can give plenty of one-to-one attention to everyone in the class. I always ask newcomers if they have any health issues which might affect their practice. That way, I can give them alternatives where appropriate.

Do people experience health benefits through yoga?

When practiced regularly yoga can definitely have a beneficial effect not only on a physical but

also a mental & emotional level. I always incorporate relaxation into my classes, as I am a firm believer that this is a very necessary part of the session.

If you are interested in yoga or would like further information, contact Janet on 0161 976 2926 or 07809 886485.

Classes are held on Thursday evenings @ Timperley Community Centre on Park Rd. 1st class starts @ 7pm & the 2nd class starts @ 8.15pm.

Leanne Jackson joined the Stoke-On-Trent site in January 2009 and lost four dress sizes. She said: “I feel like I’m visiting friends

when I go for my workouts. My confidence has returned and my motto now is ‘Bring it on!’ I feel like the world is at my feet.”With prices starting from just £23.50 a month, looking into Ladyzone could be the best decision you make in 2011.

Frank Sidebottom StatueShortly after the untimely death of Frank

Sidebottom, a group of fans, friends and family got together to organize a celebration of his life.

Over 5,000 came to Castlefield arena to watch a performance by Franks backing band, the Oh blimey big band and old friends like Marc Reily and John Ronson gathered to celebrate his life.

During those plans, the same friends and fans decided a more permanent tribute would be fitting and a facebook group called “lets get a statue of Frank Sidebottom in Timperley” was created. Within days there were over 3000 members.

A committee and working group has been set up, a construction drawn and plans to raise the required £60,000 have been kicked off.

To support the committee or for further information,

Potato cakes, purple sprouting broccoli & poached egg

Makes 4 potato cakes: 200g baked potato | 200g grated raw potato | 200g plain flour | 300ml milk |

Pinch of salt |1 tbsp horse radish [optional]

Remove the baked potato from the skin and mash. Add the grated raw potato, flour and a pinch of salt to the mashed potato and mix. Slowly stir in the milk and combine. If you fancy a bit of a kick, add a tablespoon of horse radish sauce.

Heat up a knob of butter in a frying pan. Drop four large dollops of the mixture into the hot pan and spread with a fork.

When lightly browned turn the potato cakes over and continue to cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Squeeze a drop of lemon juice over the potato cake for that extra zing and serve with lightly steamed purple sprouting broccoli and a poached egg.

Delicious!

C is for CarrotCarrot is one of the most

healing foods that provides the finest and highest quality in nutrients, especially from its juice. It is an excellent source of beta carotene which is converted into vitamin A by the body. Lack of vitamin A can cause poor vision, including night vision, and vision can be restored by adding it back into the diet. An urban legend says eating large amounts of carrots will allow you to see in the dark. The legend developed

from stories of British gunners in World War 2 who were able to shoot down German planes in the darkness of night.

It is also an excellent source of vitamins C, D, E, K, B1 and B6. It is rich with biotin, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, organic sodium and some trace minerals. It contains phytonutrients which are nature’s wonderful provision for healing of various diseases.

DID YOU KNOW THAT....

In India carrots are used in a variety of ways, as salads or as vegetables added to spicy rice or daal dishes and in desserts, the most popular variation in north India is the Gaajar Kaa Halwaa carrot dessert, which has carrots grated and cooked in milk until the whole thing is solid, after which nuts and butter are added.

�0�� – a year of hope for AltrinchamAltrincham and Bowdon Civic

Society intend to build on a busy year in 2010.

In a new year’s message to the people of Altrincham, Judie Collins, the newly elected Chairman of Altrincham and Bowdon Civic Society said:-

“There is a lot to look forward to. The £19 million pounds refurbishment of Altrincham interchange will go before the Planning Committee soon. The only point of contention now is whether to retain the historic footbridge.

“We are hoping that the revamping of Station Buildings

(next to the interchange) will progress rapidly.

“Although Trafford Healthcare Trust is to become part of a larger Foundation Trust, the Civic Society has been assured that the new building for Altrincham hospital will go ahead albeit with a new owner.”

The Committee, which now includes representatives from the Broadheath partnership and Altrincham market, invites members of the public to attend their bi-monthly meetings which take place at 2 pm. at Altrincham Town Hall.

The next two meetings are on

Thursdays, 24th February and 7th April.
