11Alternative To Ceramic Tiling - Yorkshire Cladding Page 15

Most people know obesity is on the increase, and so are all the medical conditions associated with it. What you may not realise is that being just three stone overweight classifi es you as being clinically obese and this can affect self confi dence, fi tness levels and more seriously, according to fi gures released by the NHS puts you at an increased risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension and cancer. Obesity is estimated to shorten your life by an average of nine years. But you no longer have to be another statistic thanks to Lighterlife.

Lighterlife is a unique weight loss and weight management programme that has been designed specifi cally for men and women who have a BMI of 29 and over, and the programme has successfully helped thousands of people to make lasting changes and enjoy happier, healthier lives. The medically monitored programme was developed over a decade ago by three professional women with personal experience of obesity who wanted to offer a lasting solution to the familiar phenomenon of yo-yo dieting. It is the only national weight-loss and weight management plan that looks beyond food to examine lifestyle and emotions in order to help clients break the weight loss/gain cycle. Christine Smith runs Lighterlife meetings in small groups of people. The nature of the weekly groups is extremely supportive and clients can also make additional visits to Christine if they feel they need a little more support. And the support doesn’t stop there. Once the target weight has been achieved, the qualifi ed Lighterlife counsellor re-introduces clients to conventional food slowly, and educates you on healthy choices in order to maintain your

weight loss and new fi gure for life. “There is more to weight loss than eating less and exercising more. If it was that easy everyone would be slim and healthier. That is why Lighterlife uses a powerful combination of very low calorie nutritionally complete soups, shakes and bars, which enable fast and effective weight loss, along with counselling techniques which include cognitive behavioural therapy and transitional analysis to examine the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that have led clients to become overweight.” Christine Smith, Lighterlife Counsellor in Shipley.

“Our panels provide a decorative and functional fi nish to walls and ceilings in any room. They are however ideally suited to bathrooms and kitchens with many advantages over ceramic tiles.

They are much quicker to fi t, there’s no need for grout, and they offer improved insulation and will not support bacteria or mould growth!” Explains Damian Campbell, owner of Yorkshire Cladding Centre Ltd in Bradford.

Damian, originally from Bingley, moved away in 2002 to Newcastle after being made redundant from the Bradford & Bingley. He worked for his cousin selling internal upvc cladding in Newcastle until May this year.

After marrying his wife, Amanda in 2007, they decided to move back to Bingley in May this year as Damian missed family and friends, and this was the perfect opportunity to set up Yorkshire Cladding Centre in his local area.

A superb, cost effective and more decorative alternative to tiles, decorative cladding was extremely popular in Newcastle and seeing that not many people sell this product in the Leeds/Bradford area, Damian saw a gap in the market. “The cladding is easy to install, even the most basic DIY enthusiasts can fi t it. I carry a large range of colours and styles along with assorted

fi nishing trims and adhesives. My showrooms have been specifi cally designed for people to look at what’s available and how fantastic a fi nished room looks.

As well as bathrooms and kitchens our panels are also suitable for use in shower rooms or shower cubicles and once completed provides any room with the ‘wow’ factor!”

Produced from extruded PVC with a paint and lacquer fi nish to the front face, the panels simply fi x together in a similar way to tongue and groove timber cladding. Panels can be fi xed directly to existing sound surfaces, including tiles, using a variety of building adhesives, or can be fi xed mechanically (nailed, screwed or stapled) to timber battens on uneven surfaces.

A visit to Damian at Yorkshire Cladding Centre is a must to see just how fabulous your rooms can look, you will also be pleased at the price!

Baildon In Bloom’s “Wacky Scarecrow Walk” on Saturday 11th September started off at 7am in pouring rain when the exhibitors

began their setting-up session, which lasted three hours. Fortunately the rain didn’t last long and it meant exhibitors were soon setting up their scarecrows around the village. Apart from the odd shower, by lunchtime the sun was shining and crowds were pouring into the village. The Committee has noticed that the public created a “carnival atmosphere”. Everybody was smiling and laughing and it was obvious that they had

come to enjoy themselves and were eager to start searching for the 172 scarecrows that had been set up around the village and of course to make a note of the best scarecrows in the competition.There were some wonderful characters like Wallace and Gromit in St John’s churchyard, along with Buzz Lightyear and other fantastic creations. One humorous scarecrow up Westgate was “Computer Man”, which kept blowing up with a cloud of smoke. Further up the road was a scarecrow high up on a lighting standard, doing a pole dance to music – just a bit risqué!

BAILDON IN BLOOM’S WACKY SCARECROW WALK 2010

23Christmas Trees For Sale - Barracloughs Page 6

BAILDON IN BLOOM’S WACKY SCARECROW WALK 2010

There was a spectacular creation made by members of a Mencap group called Unique Voices based at Ian Clough Hall. Their theme was “Pirates of the Caribbean”. They had built a pirate ship called Black Pearl, which was 20 feet long with cannons and an anchor and decorated with gold lettering. There were scarecrows on board the ship of Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Wendy and Tinker Bell. The staff and the members of the group were dressed as pirates and were having a good old sing-song with sea shanties and this made it all very realistic. The boat will feature in the group’s pantomime version of Peter Pan, to be performed

at Ian Clough Hall on 17th November, 1st December and 8th December, at 1pm. Please telephone 07 919 542 016 for tickets, which cost £2.The event turned out to be one of the best for Baildon In Bloom. We can look forward to another Wacky Scarecrow Walk next year. The winner for the best group of scarecrows, awarded a silver platter, was the pirate ship. The winners in the general category were: (1st Prize, cup) Wallace and Grommit, (2nd Prize, digital camera) Sponge Bob and (3rd Prize, meal for four at Webster’s) Computer Man.

Ladies in the PINK!

Registered Charity No 519429

Two hundred ladies attended a Ladies Pink Lunch on Saturday 30th October in the Princess Ballroom at the Midland Hotel, Bradford, held in aid of local charity Cancer Support Bradford & Airedale. The event raised a fantastic £4,400 for the charity which relies very much on donations and fundraising events to generate income.

Community Fundraiser Linda Enderby said: “It was an absolutely fabulous and fun afternoon. We had shopping, games and entertainment from a Robbie Williams tribute act which went down very well with the ladies.”

Here & Now Magazine is produced and distributed by MAD Publications

Ltd; based in Greengates, Bradford, and we are proud to support Bradford & Airedale Cancer Support in any way possible. We have attended The Pink Lunch for the past two years and always have a fantastic afternoon. If you haven’t been to The Pink Lunch yet, make sure you book your places and put the date in your diary now for next year’s event!

All proceeds will go towards providing free support services for local people affected by cancer. For more information about the charity or to make a donation please call 01274 77 66 88 or email: [email protected]

With the current trend for many pubs to reinvent themselves as gastro-pubs, The Old Tramshed

in Saltaire opts for a more traditional style of eating. Re-branding itself as a Freehouse and Carvery with the launch of a full carvery menu and a restyled logo to warm things up, the Old Tramshed has declared itself a gastro-free zone.

The friendly welcome is still the same but the world heritage pub, which was originally an old tram shed, now boasts a newly refurbished layout to complement its newly acquired carvery status.

Offering a freshly prepared selection of the

best the region can offer, the Old Tramshed believes in keeping its produce fresh and local wherever possible, supporting small and independent producers and suppliers.

General Manager, Dave Davies, commented: “After taking time to review the current market trends, we decided that the way forward for us was to provide our customers with a fresh and simple alternative. The traditional British carvery offers classic favourites with unpretentious flavours and provides us with the perfect opportunity to make good use of fresh seasonal favourites.”

Dave is also aware that not everyone who visits the pub will want to eat and added:

“We also understand that, as a pub, we need to make sure our customers can still call in for a drink without feeling obliged to pick up a menu - and to that end, our enviable beer selection will remain just as enviable!”

The Old Tramshed will continue to feature a wide range of live music and entertainment and is the only pub in Saltaire showing Sky Sports in 3D (they also offer the ‘image enhancing’ 3D eyewear for free!).

The carvery will be available seven days a week from 12noon to 10pm and to prove that a change can be better than the rest.

It’s offi cial: children know their carrots from their

courgettes

A survey of 1,500 children around the UK has shown that it’s not all bad news when it comes to kids and vegetables. On average, children aged 3-11 recognised over 80% of fruit and veg

in organic vegbox company Riverford’s summer challenge. The vegetables children were asked to identify included commonly available carrots, potatoes and broccoli, as well as the more unusual kohl rabi, globe artichokes and fennel. Three quarters of children said they eat at least half of the fruit and veg; 4% said they eat them all; and only 5% said they eat less than a quarter of them.

Riverford also quizzed kids on their favourite and least liked fruit and veg. Carrots came out on top, followed by sweetcorn and broccoli. The most disliked veg was Brussels sprouts, then courgettes.

Andrew, who delivers Riverford vegboxes to families throughout North & West Yorkshire, said “We’re really encouraged that not all children think milk comes from cartons or tomatoes in tins. With kids going back to school and getting into a healthy routine after the holidays, lots of

parents will be trying to get them gobbling their greens again.

“We’ve always thought that the more engaged you are with your food, the more likely you are to eat it, so we give out lots of free recipes each week to help people cook, and we encourage customers to visit our farm. These results seem to back up our theory: the children of Riverford customers ate a wider range of ‘weird’ veg than those of non-customers.

“If you’re still struggling with those dreaded courgettes, see if you can win the kids over with our Chocolate Courgette Cake recipe; they’ll never believe there are vegetables hidden inside.”

The veg challenge has been taken by children at numerous shows this summer from Otley Show, The Great Yorkshire Show, Bingley Show, Halifax Show, Ripley Show and most recently at Keighley Show, the veg challenge proved very popular and got local kids thinking about where their food comes from. Riverford will be exhibiting at the West Yorkshire Organic Show on 18th September in Exhibition Hall, Saltaire as part of the Saltaire Festival the veg challenge will be their on the day for anyone wanting to test their veg knowledge.

National Organic Fortnight runs from 3rd-17th September 2010. To fi nd out more about getting engaged with your food visit www.riverford.org or www.soilassociation.org
