Back then Ascot High Street had one coffee shop (and one supermarket). Readers who look back to that first issue of LIVING WITHIN will see photographs of residents from Ascot and Virginia Water donning a red nose for Comic Relief.</p> <p>We mentioned a woodland development in Broomhall Lane and carried news on our front cover of an arctic explorer from Sunninghill named Jim McNeill.</p> <p>In our property section one commentator interestingly suggested that “talk of a property crash was wide of the mark.” The first of our regular property cartoons featured Bin Laden (who had just gone into hiding following US and UK attacks on Iraq). On our back page we carried the first of many photographs of Ascot’s Alan Carr (nobody knew him as a comedian back then). Ascot’s Alan, as you will no doubt be aware, went on to be awarded an MBE for his services to charity.</p> <p>We also covered news from The Carphone Warehouse in Sunningdale having announced that it was taking its first orders for the 3G mobile network. The recommended price for a 3G phone was £400 but there was a six week waiting list.</p> <p>If you would like to see some more of our first issue <a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/LW1/index.html" target="">click on the link to view it online</a>.</p> </div><br class="clearx" /> <p><a href="http://www.livingwithin.com/index.html#a1274">Read the full article</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Guards Polo Club appoints new Chief Executive</h1> <p>Tue, 21 Jun 2011 16:14:00 +0100</p> <a name="a1271"></a> <div class="articlearea"> <h1>Guards Polo Club appoints new Chief Executive</h1><p>Guards Polo Club has announced that it has appointed Neil Hobday as the Club’s new Chief Executive, with immediate effect.</p> <p>A former Scots Guards officer, Neil spent four years with the International Management Group (IMG) in the late 1980s and early ’90s, where he was responsible for managing the personal and business affairs of some of the world’s top golfers, including Colin Montgomerie and Sam Torrance. He then co-founded the Carnegie Sports International company for Sir David Murray creating a multi-sports marketing and management agency, working with amongst others Jack Nicklaus’s Golden Bear Group and the Lyle Anderson Company.</p> <p>This latter relationship resulted in Neil being appointed Chief Executive of the exclusive Loch Lomond Golf Club in 1995, a post he held for four years. Within two years of opening, the Club had achieved two consecutive world top 50 rankings. More recently Neil has fulfilled a five-year contract with the Trump Organisation in Scotland as Consultant Project Director.</p> <p>Neil said: “I am delighted to be given this opportunity at Guards Polo Club. I may not be a polo aficionado yet, but my understanding of the business of sport and club management and my strong belief in the importance of high operational standards and good relationships with members and players will ensure that Guards Polo Club will continue to flourish. In addition I can now publicly admit to my secret passion for agronomy and so am keen to learn more about the science of creating the perfect polo ground.”</p> <p>Following last year’s tragic death of Charlie Stisted, the Club’s CEO for the past 10 years, the Board appointed Odgers Berndtson to carry out the selection process on behalf of the Club. Jock Green-Armytage, Chairman of the Appointments Panel, said: “Charlie was much admired by players and sponsors alike and the Board wanted to build on the very solid base which he created. Therefore the Board took its time and its patience has been rewarded by Neil accepting the Board’s offer to become the new Chief Executive at Guards Polo Club. Neil was an impressive candidate throughout the process and has the right skills to continue to develop Guards Polo Club’s strengths both at home and abroad."</p> </div> <p><a href="http://www.livingwithin.com/index.html#a1271">Read the full article</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Liz completes 12 hour charity Shiatsuthon</h1> <p>Tue, 21 Jun 2011 15:26:59 +0100</p> <a name="a1270"></a> <div class="articlearea"> <h1>Liz completes 12 hour charity Shiatsuthon</h1> <div style="position:relative;float:right;margin:6px 0 5px 15px;padding:0;width:250px"> </div><p>Cobham Shiatsu practitioner Liz Kendall recently held her third annual Shiatsuthon in aid of Help A London Child (HALC), and raised double the amount from 2010’s event.</p> <p>For 12 hours on a Saturday Liz gave 20 minute Shiatsu treatments in exchange for donations to the charity. Shiatsu, meaning “finger pressure” in Japanese, uses pressure points and gentle stretches to treat the body and mind. It is helpful for relieving back and neck pain, stress and promotes the body’s natural healing abilities. Treatments are given fully clothed, lying on a comfortable floor mat. Liz had so many Shiatsuthon bookings that the final treatments were given the following day.</p> <p>“I was hoping for a busy day but I didn’t expect it to carry over to Sunday as well!” Liz says. “I gave 24 treatments on Saturday and another two on Sunday. It was wonderful to have so much support for the Shiatsuthon. Clients, friends, neighbours and people I’d never met before all came along to take part. My knees were a bit red by the end of it but it was a very enjoyable day.”</p> <p>Liz was hoping to beat the total from the 2010 Shiatsuthon.</p> “Last year the Cobham Shiatsuthon raised £290, so I was aiming for over £300 this year. During the day I was too busy giving treatments to keep track of how much people were donating, so when I finally looked at the sponsorship form it was quite a shock. We raised £580 for Help A London Child. I never thought we would double last year’s total. Everyone has been spectacularly generous and the money they gave will be very well spent.” </div><br class="clearx" /> <p><a href="http://www.livingwithin.com/index.html#a1270">Read the full article</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Top marks as Marist Schools enters Race For Life</h1> <p>Tue, 21 Jun 2011 15:16:45 +0100</p> <a name="a1269"></a> <div class="articlearea"> <h1>Top marks as Marist Schools enters Race For Life</h1> <div style="position:relative;float:right;margin:6px 0 5px 15px;padding:0;width:250px"> <span class="bildunterschrift">Marist girls: Making a positive difference</span> </div><p>A team of 166 teachers, pupils, relatives and friends from The Marist Schools in Sunninghill will be taking part in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life event at Windsor Race Course on Saturday 2 July.</p> <p>The Marist Race For Life Team have been entering the event since 2006, after deciding to join forces to make a positive difference to the lives of people affected by cancer in the South East.</p> <p>Team leader and Head of PE, Jen Bishopp, said: "Race for Life is a great addition to the school timetable.

In addition to the introduction of flexible nursery sessions and extended day options, Coworth-Flexlands has invested in an outdoor classroom and a ‘Woodland Walk‘ for outdoor learning and exploration. Along with a new dedicated Skylark Nursery playground - with a tree-house, a fitness trail, exploration tables and a log cabin - the indoor classrooms have also been re-developed; creating more space and improved resources for play and learning across all areas of the curriculum.</p> <p>"The changes we have made to both our indoor and outdoor space will allow our very youngest children to play and learn in the best possible environment," explains Headmistress, Mrs Anne Sweeney. "Spending time outdoors has such a positive impact on a child’s sense of well-being supporting all aspects of a child’s development. With over 13 acres of beautiful grounds we are in the fortunate position of being able to make this happen."</p> <p>Coworth-Flexland’s School is an independent preparatory day school. Located on the outskirts of Chobham Common, the School is non-selective yet achieves strong and consistent academic results.

Waterproof clothing, GPS equipment and a specially fitted trailer with mapping and VHF radio kit will all be bought with the grant. Surrey Search & Rescue (SurSAR) is a team of volunteers who undergo specialist training to assist Surrey Police and the emergency services. The team, formed last year, primary search for lost and missing vulnerable people in the county but also assist nationally where possible. They have had eight incidents this year including the search for missing Sian O'Callaghan from Swindon.<br /> <br /> Tim Rowsell, Chairman, said "This money will dramatically increase our capability to find missing people. The kit will keep our team warm and dry when out searching as it's often cold and wet when we get called out."<br /> <br /> Members of the 32-strong team come from all walks of life, from sales managers and school teachers, to IT workers and from paramedics to army officers. Very often they are asked to search for children or elderly people who may have become disorientated and strayed from their home or hospital, or for vulnerable people who are likely to harm themselves.<br /> <br /> The team have a secret weapon in the form of specially trained search dogs<br /> <br /> “The average person loses 40,000 flakes of skin a minute and 80% of these are carried on the air. In the wind, the dogs scent this and follow the trail. Sven Manning, is the group’s canine training officer. “Our dogs are pets first and go through a rigorous training assessment programme before becoming operational,” he explains.<br /> <br /> It’s his job to prepare a training plan for the dogs, which are all at varying levels of searching expertise. Briefly there are levels of training. Level 1 is for beginners, while Level 2 and Level 3 are fully operational. A Level 3 dog must search an area of around 50 acres of woodland in a 90 minute period. The dogs are taught to locate a person and then return to their handler. They repeat this, backwards and forwards, from victim to handler until he or she is found.<br /> <br /> The all team members are expected to attend fortnightly training sessions.<br /> <br /> The team are have recently secured sponsorship from many local companies, charitable organisations and Surrey County Councillors but SAR still costs money.<br /> <br /> Tim estimates the team shells out around £500 per member on heavy-duty clothing, VHF radios and other essential equipment. They’re also finding it increasingly difficult to find large areas of ground which are available to use for search exercises. The team is also looking for other sponsors who can supply relevant services, clothing and other necessary items.<br /> <br /> “We do this because we enjoy it and of course, at the end of the day, when you do help find someone, there is a real feel-good factor.” </div><br class="clearx" /> <p><a href="http://www.livingwithin.com/index.html#a1254">Read the full article</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>TASIS donates to Harper Asprey</h1> <p>Tue, 07 Jun 2011 11:45:40 +0100</p> <a name="a1253"></a> <div class="articlearea"> <h1>TASIS donates to Harper Asprey</h1><p>Students at TASIS The American School In England gathered for a special assembly in June to present Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue (HAWR) with £1800. The money was raised at Mayfair, and students decided to surprise the charity representative, Anne Brummer, with their donation after she finished giving an educational talk about British wildlife in the assembly.</p> <p>Ms. Brummer thanked the Lower School for the donation and said the money would help many of the animals in her care. This charity is particularly special to the Lower School, as many injured birds and other wildlife have been found on the Thorpe campus and have been reported to HAWR. Subsequently, many of these rescued animals have been released back into the wild.</p> <p>After the assembly, excited students were able to interact with a selection of rescued animals, including: a fox cub, a baby doe, ducklings, a bat, and hedgehogs. </p> <p>Ms. Brummer commented, “It is important for children to learn about the wildlife surrounding them, and to be aware that everyone can help keep the environment safe for these animals.”</p> </div> <p><a href="http://www.livingwithin.com/schools.html#a1253">Read the full article</a></p> </article> <article> <p>Fri, 20 May 2011 17:15:45 +0100</p> <a name="a1252"></a> <div class="articlearea"> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 1.eps"> Page 1</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 2.eps"> Page 2</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 3.eps"> Page 3</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 4.eps"> Page 4</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 5.eps"> Page 5</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 6.eps"> Page 6</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 7.eps"> Page 7</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 8.eps"> Page 8</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 9.eps"> Page 9</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 10.eps"> Page 10</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 11.eps"> Page 11</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 12.eps"> Page 12</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 13.eps"> Page 13</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 14.eps"> Page 14</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 15.eps"> Page 15</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 16.eps"> Page 16</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 17.eps" target="">Page 17</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 18.eps"> Page 18</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 19.eps"> Page 19</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 20.eps"> Page 20</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 21.eps"> Page 21</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 22.eps"> Page 22</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.livingwithin.com/claygatestickerbook/Claygate Stickers 23.eps" target="">Page 23</a></p> </div> <p><a href="http://www.livingwithin.com/claygate-sticker-book.html#a1252">Read the full article</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Surrey to press ahead with parking meters</h1> <p>Fri, 13 May 2011 13:27:39 +0100</p> <a name="a1251"></a> <div class="articlearea"> <h1>Surrey to press ahead with parking meters</h1> <div style="position:relative;float:left;margin:6px 15px 5px 0;padding:0;width:199px"> </div><p>Pay and display meters will become a common feature in towns and villages across Surrey after county councillors chose to vote against a 26,000 name petition calling for County Hall to abandon its proposals for on-street charges at car parking bays.</p> <p>Retailers have expressed concerns that the introduction of the parking meters will have an adverse effect on their business because motorists might now drive directly to out of town retail parks where parking is free.</p> <p>Some 22 councillors voted for the petition and 43 voted against abandoning parking charge plans.</p> <p>Councillor Ian Lake, Cabinet Minister For Transport, told the meeting that "strategically placed pay and display schemes do help businesses."</p> <p>"Pay and display increases customer turnover by freeing up parking spaces.

That's the finding of a study that said fights are unlikely if you just have two girls. They will play nicely and are generally a pleasure to be around.</p> <p>The results show of all the variations two daughters are unlikely to wind each other up or ignore each other. The study also found that two girls make limited noise and often confide in their parents.</p> <p>But having four daughters is likely to lead to trouble, with one in four mums and dads admitting they were not 100% happy with their lot. One third said they found it hard to cope on a daily basis, the study of 2,116 parents of children aged 16 and under revealed. Parents of four girls also admitted to having to cope with an average of four fights or arguments a day.</p> <p>Faye Mingo of www.bounty.com says: "The mums and dads we polled obviously dearly love their children, but those with bigger families find it much harder to keep the peace on a daily basis.The findings were absolutely fascinating - we often assume little girls behave like angels, and if you have two this certainly seems to be the case. But the more girls you have the more of a handful they become - more so in fact than boys. In fact, going from two to four girls seem to take parents from one extreme to the other – whilst doubling the amount of boys has much less impact. We expected two, three or four boys to come out as the most difficult combination of children to have, purely because of their energetic and boisterous personalities."</p> <p>The study looked into families with twelve different combinations of children, excluding only children but including everything from a brother and sister to four of the same sex. Mums and dads were asked to rank their children's behaviour within the family unit based on a string of categories including ease of care, compatability and overall behaviour.</p> <p>Two girls scored highly in every category. They were 'easy to reason' with, 'helped around the house' and generally 'liked each other'.</p> <p>But parents of four girls ranked them at the lower end of the spectrum in most sectors due in no small measure to the sheer workload managing four youngsters who regularly squabble and know how to wind each other up. 63% of mums and dads of four girls have had to buy a bigger house and car. They also find it impossible dealing with everyone when they’re ill and spend most of the time encouraging the girls to get on.</p> <p>In fact, mums and dads with four children of any gender found it harder, the results showed. And meal times, mornings and the bedtime routine emerged as key areas which become difficult with four children. Parents with four children also admitted neglecting one or more of their children on occasion, and find it harder to share their attention equally amongst everyone.</p></td> <td style="width:50%;padding-left:10px"><p>'BEST' TO 'WORST' COMBINATIONS OF CHILDREN</p> <p>1.
