A group of Enfield primary schools are making ‘The Good Life’ a reality by growing their own produce and using it in their cooking clubs as part of an emerging plan to develop Enfield’s Market Gardening industry.

This initiative aims to establish food growing projects in 20 primary and five secondary schools over the next two years benefiting around 600 children and eventually expanding to include all Enfield schools.

A greenhouse frame has been provided with a grant from the Old Enfield Charitable Trust who are supporting schools in the EN areas of Enfield.

More Enfield schools are now building their own greenhouses through this initiative.

At every stage, children are learning about growing food and how to care for vegetables. Children at the Prince of Wales School also look after chickens and regularly collect eggs for their cooking club.

Cllr Ayfer Orhan, Enfield Council’s Cabinet Member for Education, Children’s Services & Protection, said, “Enfield Council is committed to helping children learn about food and nutrition; healthy eating; and growing food locally.

“The skills and knowledge

that the children learn now, will give

them the enthusiasm for growing good fresh food and healthy living and in the long term, experiences that contribute to our market gardening plans.”

This initiative is part of the Enfield 2020 project which aims to improve Enfield Council’s services by saving money, creating local jobs, reducing waste and raising standards in public health and the environment.

It also forms part of ‘Garden Enfield’, the Council’s Market Gardening Scheme. In February last year, the Mayor for London awarded the borough £600,000 to help develop an ambitious project to resurrect the borough’s

food growing heritage with the potential to support an estimated 1,200 jobs.

It means that the Council will approach employers in the horticulture industry to offer work experience placements to secondary school students and work with allotment holders to redistribute excess produce.

‘Garden Enfield’ aims to build on Enfield’s and the Lee Valley’s food growing heritage, processing and marketing food from the local area.

It will also develop a cooperative growing model where residents, community groups and other organisations work with the council to grow their own produce. It will increase the amount of land area used for

The Good Life RealityLocal News and Events


Seven generations of the Yates family have been looking after families through the difficult time of arranging a funeral for a loved one, since 1817.

“In 1910 the family opened F Upson & Son in Tottenham. Traditional values have always underpinned the company, and we are committed to caring for your family regardless of race, age, religion, background or financial need. We are proud to be independent, family owned and run and ingrained in the faiths of the local community,“ said Des Yates

“We are delighted to now offer the same level of service we have been offering from our premises in Tottenham to the local community in Enfield, from our new premises on London Road Enfield,” added Des. “As well as organising funerals F Upson & Son can help people planning for the future offering advice on prepaid funeral plans.”

“In our new premises we have introduced a room of remembrance which can be used as a chapel for a funeral service or just somewhere peaceful to come and remember your loved ones.”

“On the 6th of September we will be hosting a community event from our Enfield premises. Inviting local residents to come and have a look around, find out about prepaid plans, have a ride in a horse and carriage or release a dove in the name of a loved one.”

growing food and look at opportunities to sell crops locally and commercially.

Jan Bless, Headteacher at Prince of Wales, said, “It is exciting for this school to be at the rebirth of an industry in the borough and to be an active part in its success. Our environmental teaching team has built up a body of knowledge that they are passing on to the children and the whole school is getting a huge benefit in health information and good eating habits.”

“This is truly a superb approach to teaching and all schools can develop it no matter how small the space. Gardening produces remarkably happy children and young people.”

Changes to car parking fees and permits will be coming into effect from Sunday 3rd August.

An increase in car parking charges are being implemented in response to reductions in grants from Central Government over the past five years. During this time Hertsmere council has managed to freeze its portion of council tax for residents but has had to increase some charges elsewhere.

Councillor Jean Heywood, Transport and Environment Portfolio Holder, explained: “Like all local authorities across the country we’ve had to make some tough decisions about services in light of the ongoing pressures on our resources. Here in Hertsmere residents have helped us make these decisions through special surveys.”

Joy Prince the owner of LeeJoys School Uniforms in Potters Bar told EN Magazine, “Although I appreciate that the council needs to raise funds, the increase in parking will have an affect on the independent traders. The multinational supermarkets offer free parking, which will mean people will use these rather than stop and support local shops. I believe although the fees are small, they will discourage people from

shopping locally.”

Changes to charges include:

Parking at the side of the road (on street)The first 30 minutes will remain free, with a 50p charge for up to an hour (an increase of 30p).Where a second hour is permitted, it will be £1.50 (instead of £1). There are also small increases for additional hours.

Car parks An increase of 20p for an hour (from 50p to 70p) and 50p for up to two hours (from £1 to £1.50) in Borehamwood, Potters Bar and Bushey Heath. There are also small increases for additional hours.

Residential permitsThe first annual residential permit will be £25 (an increase of £10).An increase of £10 will also apply to the second, third and fourth annual residential permits. Annual visitor permits will increase to £40 (an increase of £10).

Councillor Heywood added: “Although we understand some residents will not be happy with the increases, we hope people will continue to appreciate that the first half hour of on street parking outside shops will remain free.

Hertsmere Parking Charges To Increase



We have 10 Pairs of tickets to give away to the Gala Premier showing of “Guardians of the Galaxy” on Thursday 24th July at Cineworld Enfield.

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object

of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer.

But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.

EU mobile roaming charges fell so UK mobile users visiting EU countries will never pay more than 15p per min to make a call, 4p per min to receive call, 7p to send a text message and 16p per MB of mobile data – but there’s still much confusion around roaming.

British holidaymakers have racked up eye-watering mobile roaming bills of £394million according to new research from independent price comparison and switching service, uSwitch.com, which means the scrapping of EU roaming charges in late 2015 cannot come soon enough.

A quarter of Brits have returned from trips to the EU to be landed with a larger than normal mobile phone bill, averaging £55.59.

Those holidaying within the EU are already protected from high mobile roaming charges and, from July 1st, mobile networks were forced to cap roaming charges within EU countries even further. The new caps mean it now costs just €0.19 per minute to make calls, €0.05 per minute to receive calls, €0.06 to send a standard text message and €0.20 per MB of mobile data, down from €0.24 per minute to make calls, €0.07 per minute to receive calls, €0.08 to send a standard

text message and €0.45 per MB of mobile data.

The same caps don not apply to holidaymakers setting foot outside the EU and, with some not clued up on which countries are in the European Union, may be vulnerable to bill shock. More than four in 10 wrongly believe Switzerland is an EU country, while 38% think Turkey is a member state. A quarter incorrectly think Iceland is in the EU and 12% think Tunisia is. Considering that Turkey is the UK’s second most popular holiday destination of 2014, and Switzerland is the ninth favourite, according to travel comparison site Top10.com, some bill payers could be in for a nasty shock.

In fact, Brits heading to Turkey for a fortnight this summer could chalk up a £258 mobile phone bill just by making two five-minute calls, listening to a two-minute voicemail message, sending 10 text messages and using 10MB of data each day. Fortunately, UK networks automatically impose their own roaming caps of around £40 on their customers, but these are very easy to opt out of, usually by text message.

There is also much confusion over roaming rules. One in eight have the wrong end of the stick, believing that roaming charges are due to be

scrapped worldwide in 2015. And almost one in 10 incorrectly think roaming charges have already been scrapped completely in the EU. This is not due to happen until late 2015.

Six in 10 Britons plan to

take their mobile phones overseas within the EU this year, while over a fifth plan to take their mobiles further afield.

More than half take their phones abroad so they can receive texts, and use the camera function, while half will send text messages. More than a third will receive calls whilst away,

three in 10 will make calls, while a quarter will use social media apps and browse the internet. Almost a fifth will use their mobiles to check the weather forecast.

Almost three quarters of Brits have never

checked with their mobile provider to see if there is a money-saving roaming bundle they can use whilst abroad, and a third of Brits have no idea of their network’s roaming charges. Almost a fifth don’t switch off roaming settings on their handsets when overseas and almost eight in 10 have never purchased a local SIM card to make cheap calls while abroad. Almost two thirds say they can’t do without their phones on holiday.

Ernest Doku, technology expert at uSwitch.com, says: “Not knowing which countries are in the European Union could cause havoc for mobile users this summer as they could wrongly think they are protected from roaming charges in popular destinations like Turkey or Switzerland.

“Brits need to add ‘check roaming charges’ to their pre-holiday to do lists. Talking to your network before you jet off will very likely spare you a big bill later, as they may be able to advise a bundle, or at the very least let you how much it costs to use your phone abroad.

“Limit the damage by making the most of free Wi-Fi at hotels and cafés and keep data roaming switched off. Don’t be tempted to opt out of caps imposed by your network, however much you want to connect to the internet on the go. And, when it comes to calls and text messages, a great way to keep costs down to a minimum is to buy a local SIM card, put it in your phone and simply top it up.”



With temperatures on the rise this month and the summer holidays just around the corner, British parents are choosing to spend family time entertaining their children outdoors at water venues, such as public pools, lido’s and waterparks.

SPATA (The Swimming Pool and Allied Trades Association) is encouraging all pool users to play safe in the warm weather and to avoid any

danger, while playing near water.

Swimming is an easy and fun way for families to spend time together, keep active and it is an excellent way to encourage children to be sporty and fit from a young age. However, being

more active in the pool also means being more safety conscious.

When hitting the pool, this summer ensure you swimming safely, whether it is in your back garden, at your local pool or on holiday abroad. Suggestions for safety in and around the pool:

1. Learn to swim 2. Always supervise children in and around the pool 3. Only dive into water that is designated for this purpose 4. Ensure family and friends know what to do in an emergency 5. Never swim in unsupervised areas such as old flooded quarry pits, rivers, canals and reservoirs. Five Essential Safety Items for Children:• Buoyancy aids are designed to give a degree of independence, but these must be used under strict supervision. Available as arm bands, swim vests and float boards. • Baby swim seats let the baby sit supported in the water, so that they are

able to kick freely. • Costumes with pockets that contain removable floats designed for children 30 months and over. • Swim shoes protect children’s feet from slipping on wet floors or stubbing toes against the edge of the pool. • One-piece water suits for children; give young skin a protection factor of 50+ wet or dry.

In the summer months, spending a full day by the pool is a wonderful way to enjoy time with your family, but be aware of the effects of the sun. Use waterproof sun lotion and ensure that young children are covered up. Watch out for signs of sunstroke and make sure everyone drinks plenty of water and spends time in the shade.

The summer is coming and soon children will be breaking up from school. This will hopefully mean lots of fun for our children out and about in local parks. However this can mean that they are coming into contact with dogs who are often not on leads.

As a dog owner I have often seen children and adults shy away and panic when a dog walks by them even if it is on a lead. So what can you do to make sure your children stay safe around dogs this summer?

EN Magazine spoke to local dog trainer Lyn Wilson from Happy Dogs training to find out how dogs and people can cohabitate together in harmony, not just now but all the time.

Dog OwnersYour dog should be under control at all times, that’s in public and at home and if they are not and you do not know how to get them under control you

may wish to seek help from a professional dog trainer. When looking for the appropriate help make sure the trainers are properly qualified, look at the trainer’s dogs and see how well behaved they are. Go and visit a class and see what is being taught and how. Talk to clients that are currently attending, ask if they are learning lots and enjoying their lessons. Dog training should be fun, informative and well balanced.

So, what do we mean by under control? Your dog should listen to you, respond quickly to their name and any commands you give them. They should come when you call them and you should be easily able to attach their lead. They should walk nicely beside you on lead and they should never jump up at anyone. You should be able to see your dog at all times when they are off lead and you should always clean up your dogs toilet and dispose of it correctly (that doesn’t mean hang the bag from a tree!)

They should be people and dog sociable. A leave command is also very helpful when your dog finds picnic left overs.

Be a responsible dog owner: move off the path if you see young children, an elderly person or groups of people walking towards you or call your dog to you and attach the lead if you are in any doubt as to how

Mans Best Friend


they will behave. The same applies if you see people having a picnic or playing a ball game, avoid them or put your dog on a lead. Be aware of where your dog is and what they are doing at all times. If you are unsure of how your dog will react in a certain situation then please muzzle them it will make you and them feel much happier and more confident (seek help to introduce a muzzle to your dog correctly.)

Non-Dog OwnersDogs are high play and food motivated animals so if you are running around, kicking a ball, shouting or eating they will take more interest in you. A well trained dog should ignore you or listen to their owner but you can discourage their attention by standing still, don’t flap your arms around and try to shoo them away as to a dog that seems like you want to play with them, being quiet not making eye contact with them and definitely not feeding them or stroking them

will make them find you very uninteresting and they will wander away. Hopefully the owner will be in sight and have already got their dog under control but if not don’t be afraid to ask them politely to please call their dog away.

Please educate your children how to behave around dogs. No shouting, screaming or running as to some dogs this means play, Children should not be left alone with a dog. A child should never touch a dog unless they have asked the owner first. If the owner says you may touch the dog always offer them the back of your hand to sniff first if the dog moves back or turns their head away or seems unsure (lip licking, head, tail or ears down or fur along their back rises) move away and do not try to stroke the dog. Some owners do not know their dog as well as they should. If you do stroke a happy friendly dog always stroke under the chin or on their side or back never go

over the top of their head. Please remember very hot weather can make even the nicest dog grumpy.If you or your children are scared of dogs either due to a bad experience or just lack of understanding, contact your local dog training school and see if they are able to help by meeting some nice calm well trained dogs and gain some dog knowledge.

If the worst should happen and you are attacked by a dog try to stay on your feet remain calm and cover your face with your arms and hands if you are on the floor make yourself as small as

possible tuck your arms, legs and head into your body and stay as still as possible. Telephone the police as soon as you can and provide a description of the dog and owner if they were around.

Dogs make wonderful pets and companions and most of them are nice well behaved animals. When trained and cared for correctly dogs are great fun and very loving and make a great addition to family life. If we are all sensible, polite and courteous it will be a fantastic summer, our open spaces are big enough for us all to share!

It’s the summer holiday season, people everywhere are booking time off work for a week or two for time relaxing in the sun. But what if your job is caring for a relative?

Whether it’s full time care or just popping round to help with the shopping, cleaning or for a chat, the demands of caring can mean you cannot get away.

For many the thought of leaving a loved one on their own can mean going away is just not possible, however there is help at hand.

Local care providers Home Care Preferred can help and allow you the opportunity to getaway, enjoy a break and recharge.

“Our skillfully trained caregivers provide a range of tailored

services, everything from companionship, escorts to appointments, personal care, domestic duties, hospital sitting and social activities, through to specialist palliative support, dementia care and care for those requiring post-operative support or for those living with various conditions,” says Ken Waterhouse Director of Home Care Preferred.

“We have a large number

of clients that come to us for support while their family are taking holiday. Many of the clients that we support are grateful not only for the care and help that we are able to provide but that we allow their family a holiday, something that they do not want to stop their family doing.”

“But it is not just looking after clients in their own home while their family is on holiday. We have also supplied caregivers to go on holiday with the family to look after a relative and allow the whole family to enjoy their time away together.”


Looking After Relatives Need Not Stop A Holiday


We should all know by now how important it is to create gardens and planting which is wildlife-friendly. Bees and other pollinators are essential for fruit and seed production, while butterflies and moths help with pest control in the garden, as well as looking very beautiful!

But after a lazy summer surrounded by the buzzing of bees and the colourful flitting of butterflies, it’s easy to forget that while many flowers are past their best, a lot of insects are still searching for their suppers. Nectar provides insects with

energy to fly and helps to build up their reserves for winter hibernation. By growing nectar-rich plants, you can help to improve their chances of surviving the cold winter months.

You’ll attract a whole range of insects to your garden, including buff-tailed bumblebees, honeybees, hoverflies, butterflies such as comma, red admiral, painted lady and small tortoiseshell and dart and brimstone moths. Some will still be found foraging on your flowers in November and certain bumblebees which stay on the wing throughout the winter

could be regular visitors.Here are five of the best nectar-rich plants for late-summer/autumn:

Sedum spectabile – a reliable late-flowering magnet for many pollinating insects. Both pink and white forms are favoured by all manner of insects but the red varieties less so.

Verbena bonariensis – a tall, airy, delicate plant, valued by gardeners for adding height without bulk. The pretty lavender flowerheads are particularly attractive to butterflies and if left to seed, will naturalise throughout the garden.

Dahlia – the single dahlia varieties are excellent for encouraging bees and other pollinating insects into the garden, and apart from adding exotic drama to the herbaceous

border, they also make excellent cut flowers. Try ‘Sunshine’ with its golden-orange flowers and dusky foliage or any of the ‘Dark Angel’ series, all with maroon/purple/chocolate stems and foliage.

Hebe – a really good, reliable garden ‘doer’, with many varieties flowering from early summer to early winter, attracting bees, butterflies, hoverflies and moths. Hundreds of varieties to choose from, a few of my favourites are ‘Heartbreaker’, with its distinctive pink, green and cream foliage, and any from the hot pink/purple ‘Magicolors’ range.

Ivy – never underestimate its garden value. This climbing evergreen provides a supply of nectar and pollen until early November and the

berries ripen in winter, invaluable when nothing else is available. Holly blue caterpillars feed on the leaves, while many other insects hibernate in its foliage. Wasps, hornets and late-flying insects drink the nectar, and the berries are adored by blackbirds. Try Hedera helix ‘Glacier’ with silver and green variegated foliage, or ‘Goldheart’ with green and gold splashed leaves.

Rudbeckia – large golden-yellow daisy like flowers with chocolate brown cone centres bring welcome autumn sunshine to the garden and are another great source of nectar for pollinators. They are great planted in drifts, as part of a prairie planting scheme and combine well with grasses Try R. fulgida var. sullivantii ‘Goldsturm’ or R. hirta ‘Autumn Shades’, in rustic shades of orange, red and bronze.

Growing any of these plants will give your garden late colour, scent and berries or seedheads, as well as the satisfaction of knowing you’ve done your bit for the survival of these crucial creatures.

Gardening

Is there anything more English than a rose? Not this year, certainly. Recent research by the Horticultural Trades Association revealed that 80% of people in the UK have a garden or somewhere to grow plants – and half of those people grow roses. And if this year’s Chelsea Garden Show is anything to go by, in 2014 the not-so-humble rose is definitely enjoying its moment in the sun.

If you want to know why, The Gardens of the Rose in St Albans is a great place to start. Here, they have an enormous collection of roses. It includes everything from the oldest of roses, historic Gallicas and Damasks, through groundcover roses, climbers and ramblers to some modern introductions from growers such as David Austin.

In fact, when I visited, my first impression was of a riot of colour. Roses carpeted the ground, papered the walls, peeped out from behind clumps of red hot pokers and veils of verbena bonariensis, and dripped from arched walkways.

There were beds containing nothing but roses, but roses in every colour imaginable. From hot oranges and sultry purples to cool lavender pinks and icy white, blooms and petals hit every note on the scale. There were single roses, double roses, roses that resembled frilly tutus and frou frou flamenco skirts as well as some that reminded me of striped

candy sticks. There were roses interplanted with herbaceous perennials such as heucheras, achillea, persicaria and daylilies, and shrubs such as buddleja and sambucus. It all shows how versatile roses can be in modern-day gardens. So if you’re looking for new ways of using roses, look no further.

Old-style, formal rose gardens, full of hybrid teas, have their place for the traditionalists amongst plantspeople. But designers are now waking up to the potential of growing roses within mixed borders. Even Piet Oudolf fans, dedicated to the contemporary ‘prairie-style’ of planting using drifts of just grasses and perennials, are beginning to shake up the rule book. They’re mixing and matching, and enjoying the combination of styles, textures and colours that roses can bring.

Roses are at their peak just now. So this is definitely the time to get out and discover the rose gardens before they start to fade. You can look up The Gardens of the Rose’s origin and background on their website www.rnrs.org.uk, where you’ll also find details of how to get there, opening times, and facilities.

If you want my advice, I’d say get going – then get growing!

Roses are Red....by Amanda Clibbens-Stoney,


The Suitcase is packed and the plane’s waiting for you. The summer holiday is here!

You have packed some great new summer clothes so you look fantastic on the beach, on the promenade and in the clubs. Sunscreen is packed ready to protect your skin and to get a great-bronzed tan, but how are you going to keep your hair looking fantastic? Saltwater, chlorine, sun and heat can all have a dramatic effect on your hair.EN Magazine spoke to local hair specialist James, at James Whitaker Hair.

“Something I get asked a lot at his time of year is how do you keep my hair in great condition and looking amazing on holiday? This can easily be achieved in three simple steps keeping your hair looking great, making you look and feel like an A lister on the beach and in the clubs.”

1. Get your hair cut and coloured a week before you go not the day before. A cut takes a week to settle in so get it done in advance and book now. Salons will be getting very busy at this time of year. Colour will be stripped if exposed to the swimming pool the day after it has been done! A good

colourist will get colour close enough to the roots that a week won’t make a difference.

2. Products. Using the right professional products will do wonders for styling your hair and looking after it’s condition. More on this later....

3. The after cut. Book in now for your return haircut. Let your stylist just take the very ends off any sun damaged hair making it instantly look healthier. An in salon treatment will put moisture back into the hair and, if you tint your hair, get that refreshed. Just think how amazing you will look tanned, and with great, refreshed hair.

4 The right products.Using the right hair products will make your hair look and feel amazing. Always go for a professional product as these have a far better quality of ingredient in them and help protect hair and colour. After all, you have spent your money on your hair so a little extra to make it last is well worth it.

“At James Whitaker Hair we only use Unite, a premium boutique line of professional haircare products sold only through professional salons.”

“Here are my top summer essential products.”

Shampoo and Conditioner.Using a shampoo and conditioner that is infused with colour locking antioxidants and free from sulfates, parabens and sodium chloride, such as Unite’s will keep your colour looking fresher for longer. If you are a blonde then Blonda shampoo is a must as this will keep your tone looking amazing. Weekender Clarifying shampoo will remove chlorine, salt and all the bad stuff from your hair but not your colour. A must for all the family.

An oil such as U Luxury Argan Oil will give your hair that lasting moisture and instant shine whilst the natural thermal protector, makes it an amazing product for flat irons, curling and blow drying and reduces your drying time.

Leave in conditioner such as Unites 7 Seconds is a summer essential. The rich creamy conditioner sprays into your hair and in 7 seconds you are tangle free. It nourishes and fortifies hair fibres with its protein complex and UV protector and locks in colour. This should be with you all day!

So make sure these products are in your suitcase for fabulous summer hair.

Six weeks, yes six weeks of having to look after and entertain the kids is just about to start if it hasn’t for you already.

EN Magazine has come up with a few ideas to help you survive the summer holidays for days out and places to stay.

Woburn Safari Park, Woburn Park, Bedfordshire,

For an amazing family day out, take a safari drive adventure in the heart of Bedfordshire! Opened in 1970, Woburn Safari Park is one of the UK’s oldest wild animal parks and has over 80 species of wild animals roaming in 300 acres of beautiful parkland. Established by the 13th Duke of Bedford on the grounds of Woburn Abbey, the park has a long history of species

conservation dating back more than 100 years. Today, Woburn Safari Park is internationally recognised as a centre of excellence for the conservation of endangered wildlife and houses probably the biggest concentration of critically endangered African ungulates (hoofed mammals) on Earth. Woburn Safari Park is a member of and contributor to the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). Customers to the park can enjoy some exciting new attractions this year, including a new Deer Stop on the Great Woburn Railway and Desert Springs, a walk-through enclosure with meerkats, mongoose and porcupines.

A visit has to include a trip to the unique Sea Lion Cove, the UK’s only indoor sea lion pool with a high-tech 3D cinema screen. Taking you behind the scenes to meet the newborn arrivals in Animal Maternity, or under the sea with Deepo 3D. Plus you’ll get close enough to touch the magnificent Asian elephants in the wonderful new Elephant Meadow. For great ticket deals and simple directions visit www.woburn.co.uk/safari

10 Things to do in Tenby before you’re 10

Pembrokeshire-based self-catering agency, FBM Holidays, has launched 10 things to do before you are 10 in Tenby, which includes activities such as swim in the sea, find a crab in a rockpool and feed a giraffe, following a recent survey which revealed that many parents are concerned about letting their children swim in the sea. But these could apply to anywhere.

The list is aimed at getting children to try new things and complete some experiences that 20 years ago would have been second nature to most children.

Tim Brace, partner at FBM Holidays, said: “Children today are experiencing far less than they did 20 years ago. With computer games and iPads being favourite go to toys we wanted to create a list that involved getting outside, learning a skill and creating something that the whole family could do together.

‘The 10 Things to do before you’re 10’:

1 Eat Fish and Chips wrapped in newspaper – no trip to Pembrokeshire is complete without indulging in some delicious seaside fayre and rather than eating on a plate it tastes so much better out of the paper on the beach.

Days Out


2 Take the perfect holiday snap – Tenby is picture postcard pretty, making it a great place for budding photographers to hone their craft. From Jubilee Park – with its stunning views over the town’s South Beach - to Tenby Harbour – there are plenty of places to take pictures to impress friends back home with.

3 Swim in the sea – Tenby is famed for its safe, sandy beaches and has been awarded three blue flags, and its three beaches are patrolled by lifeguards during the summer months.

4 Fly a kite – Learn to fly a kite on one of Tenby’s three spacious beaches perfect for kite flying and other beach games.

5 Find a crab in a rockpool – animal enthusiasts can spend hours exploring Tenby’s beaches and rockpools, watching these fascinating creatures going

about their daily business.

6 Beach riding – while on holiday why try riding a horse or pony along one of the beaches – much more interesting than a riding school ménage

7 Try chocolate made by monks – on Caldey Island, a short boat ride from Tenby, the Cisterian Monks who live there produce and sell their own chocolate.

8 Re-create a battle scene – at Battlefield Live Pembrokeshire, a laser combat game experience, infra-red is used so no one gets hurt while you can run around in the purpose-built jungle themed woodland.

9 Feed a giraffe - aspiring zoo-keepers can feed a giraffe or a penguin at Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo. The experience includes an opportunity to meet the animals, take a tour of their enclosures and prepare their meal before feeding time.

10 Visit an ancient Castle - The magnificent Carew Castle has a history spanning 2,000 years. Set in a stunning location, the castle displays the development

from a Norman fortification to an Elizabethan country house.

Whisk together the milk and lemon curd and gently stir into the breadcrumb mixture, with a rounded knife until the mixture is a soft dough and comes together in a ball. 3 Gently knead on a lightly floured surface to remove any cracks. Roll out to 2 cm thickness, then using a 6 cm fluted pastry cutter, cut into rounds. Gather up any spare bits of dough and knead lightly, roll out and make more scones 4 Place on a baking tray, spacing them a little apart, brush the tops with milk and cook for 10-12 minutes, until risen and golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack. 5 Delicious served warm or cold, split in half and top with clotted cream and lemon curd. 6 Cook’s tip- handle the dough as little as possible or it will become tough. Any remaining scones can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days- just reheat in the oven. But heading out for the day with food can cause a problem, how are you going to stop the food from getting too hot or going stale?

Success in business requires you to not only know what other people know but also who other people know.

Making connections and maintaining relationships with the people who support you throughout you and your business life can be the key to success for most individuals. By effectively building a network of colleagues, business associates and more, you are ensuring that whenever you need a new client, a new job, or to develop your skills further, you can call upon your network to help you.

Business Networking is perhaps more crucial than ever, as an established relationship and a recommendation or referral can make you stand out against the competition.

EN Magazine spoke to members of one local business-networking group to find out the benefits they receive from membership.

Barry Wiseman Alpine Flooring

Being part of the Gold Table Networking Group has allowed me to offer more, both in the form of products and advice to perspective clients and to win their business.

An example of this was when I was recently asked to visit a prospect who was renovating a property to

discuss flooring. At Alpine flooring we offer a range of hardwood flooring and Karndean – a versatile wood plank or tile covering which is both waterproof and extremely hard wearing.

It was clear from the outset that the solutions that we supply were not right for what the customer was looking for on this particular project. However from chatting with the customer I was able to learn more about the project and the problems that he was having. From this discussion I was able to pass on the names of other members of the group whose products and services better suited his needs and that I could entrust to do a great job for him.

Unbeknown to me the customer I had been to see was also working on a couple of other property renovations. A few days after I had been to see him on site he came into my showroom to discuss his other projects that were suited to our hardwood floors. He told me that he had really appreciated my help and introductions, which he said had helped him to build up a trust and respect for me and my company and he would be using us from now on.

If it had not been for the relationships I have built up through my membership of Gold Table this customer may have gone elsewhere.

Jason Coombs Autosure

Over the past 10 years or so there has been a trend for people renewing their insurance to use online comparison sites or companies own sites. The surge in the online market has meant that the traditional high street insurance broker is often overlooked.

However, many small insurance brokers, like Autosure, are just as competitive as the online sites but can also offer a personal service which is often lacking from the big multi-nationals, something which can become very apparent if something unfortunate happens and you need to make a claim.

As a small independent company it is almost impossible for us to compete with the major sites, their advertising and promotional budgets dwarf anything we could hope to do. However being part of a networking group like Gold Table has delivered results for us and helped us to promote the personal service we can offer. By getting to know the members of the group and having the opportunity to prove to them that we can be competitive when they need to renew insurance has meant that they are happy to talk to their friends and family about our service. This in turn means

their friends and family pass on our details. Being competitive and offering a truly personal service we have been able to grow our network of customers through Gold Table.

Adil VittachiRossides Caine Solicitors

When people look to use a solicitor or other professional service they normally turn to friends or family for advice and recommendations, being a member of Gold Table Networking Group allows me to have a team of colleagues who are there to make sure they recommend my organisation and me.

Trusting the person who is giving you professional advice is key to the relationship between a solicitor and his client. But how do you build up that trust when often the first contact is just a quick telephone conversation? This is where the networking group has helped me.

By meeting the members of the group every week I have been able to build strong relationships with fellow members. Often I give real life examples, changing some details to protect client confidentiality, to demonstrate my knowledge and experience. I am also able to expand the knowledge of the group with the legal services and advice I offer which go far beyond conveyancing and divorce which means that the group are able to confidently refer me to friends, family and their business associates in all areas of law.

As a member of Gold Table I in turn can offer added value to my clients, by suggesting the services of complementary businesses in the group, such as letting agents, financial planners and accountants knowing that these contacts will give exemplary service on my behalf to my clients.

Julia & Lee Sondack Drapemasters Interior Furnishers

As an interior furnishing business we have embraced the role of social media in helping us to build our network. We are able to quickly upload photos of curtains we have hung, blinds we have installed or furniture that we have recovered. Through social media we are able to share theses images with our contacts on various sites and build up our profile, successes and receive recommendations. However, alongside this we also realise the great importance of face to face representation.

This is why we gladly attend The Gold Table Business Club early Wednesday morning, every week. Put simply it works for us. By building relationships with the members we have been able to expand our network beyond just the group members and Enfield itself. In our business we are constantly looking for new clients as once works are complete for an individual client, they are unlikely to need our services again for several years. We build upon our relationships and trust over time gaining access to the

group’s members own networks, who in turn can refer and trust us to do the work.

At our meetings we are able to ask for specific introductions to companies and organisations, both by name and type, for example architects, who we are trying to get to know. We often find that through asking for these introductions members realise they know someone who would benefit us and they are happy to introduce us to their contact and help us gain that business.

Of course networking groups are not for everyone but in the competitive modern business environment, they can often give you an advantage and a foot in the door where you may not have otherwise had that opportunity. EN magazine would recommend that anyone thinking of joining a networking group should visit a few in your local area to find one that suits you, your business style and aims.

As well as Gold Table Business Club networking, other groups to consider are the local Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Small Businesses, alternatively ask your business connections or search online for local business networking groups. So don’t wait for business opportunities to come to you go out there and create them – you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Forty Hall, London EN2 9HA11:00 - 17:00 £FreeTo commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of World War One, Crafts Council and Forty Hall & Estate present an exhibition of two contemporary craft installations under the ‘Curate with Us’ programme. The exhibition brings together two of the UK’s most significantmakers for the first time and offers quiet reflection on the collective and personal impact of loss, legacy, testimony and commemoration. The two works ’Everyman’s Dream’ by Clare Twomey and Julian Stair’s ‘Reliquary for a Common Man’, whilst not directly concerned with the First World War, offer a means of contemplating themes associated with commemoration, remembrance and the significance of the First World War. www.fortyhallestate.co.uk

Top to Bottom, Karen Lodges here by Matthew Pagett.07 August 2014 - 02 November 2014Forty Hall EN2 9HA11:00 - 17:00 £FreeInspired by the ghost story of a maid who perished in the wine cellar and is rumoured to haunt the Grand Staircase, artist Matthew Paggett exhibits a body of work ruminating on the body and spirit of the servant. The maid now has a name, Karen Lodge (a name which runs through Paggett’s recent work) and her master, who brought about her demise, is a feckless tyrant. Exhibition includes large finely drawings of insects attracted to her decomposing body, informed by the field of forensic entomology. Visit the Grand Staircase where a series of large, hand-drawn words form a sentence ‘Top to Bottom, Karen Lodges Here’, describing the ghost’s presence and eternal entrapment between one level and another. ww.fortyhallestate.
