Local practitioners, providing professional Estate Planning Services

Welcome to the ONLINE Mid Surrey Silver Grapevine! No sooner had Silver Grapevine got off the ground, Covid-19 overtook our lives and changed so much for so many people.

With the ever evolving situation, it has been difficult for me to know how to move forward. Societies, groups, organisations, businesses...call them what you will, everything ground to a halt out of necessity. Only now we are getting the green light to get up and running again, albeit with restrictions.

Advertisers in this magazine have been linked to their respective websites, so all you have to do is click on the advert web address and you will be able to get updated information directly from them. Please don’t forget that pretty much everywhere has been closed for some time and having to regroup generally, so this needs to be taken into consideration as you look through adverts and listings. Your continued support for this magazine and other local businesses is really appreciated.

I hope to be back with a printed magazine in the winter. Meanwhile, stay safe and well.

Contact:Genevieve Arlidge - Editor T: Genevieve on 01372 209200 E: genevieve@thesilvergrapevine.co.uk W: www.thesilvergrapevine.co.uk/mid-surrey Thank you to everyone who has contacted me with really positive and constructive feedback. Rest assured it has all been taken on board. I have to be honest and say that over the last few months some momentum has been lost in respect of sourcing information for this magazine, but with your help I am hopeful of producing something worthwhile for the winter period!

The next issue is planned for mid November and the deadline for bookings and artwork is 25th October. Please download the advertising information from the website or contact me directly. I am here to help you promote your business or group to our readers. There is never any hard sell!

pring Into Step With A Healthy Walk

Elmbridge is a beautiful part of the county with woodlands, rivers, stunning meadows, picturesque villages and historic towns.

Whether you think you know the area inside out or are new to it, there has to be somewhere you haven’t ventured yet. So, pull on your walking shoes and join a Healthy Walk.

Our walks pass through some amazing natural habitats and give you the opportunity to have a look at the changing seasons.

They cover various distances and allow for experienced or novice walkers to get the most out of local beauty spots. Why not make the most of the free walks on this great scheme?

There are so many destinations to choose from and a chance to make new friends. There is always a convivial atmosphere on the Healthy Walks and having a coffee together afterwards is a great way to round off a nice morning spent together.

If you want to find out more, why don’t you view or download your copy of the quarterly Healthy Walks and Cycle Rides Programme. It is available at elmbridge.gov.uk/health. If you would like to receive a copy of the programme, contact by email leisure@elmbridge.gov.uk or call 01372 474568 Otago exercise, strengthen your muscles and improve balance, East Molesey, 01372 474574

OLD BARN HALL JAZZ CLUB BOOKHAM

Roving Reporter

Great Bands Well Stocked Mini Bar Good Value Food I was delighted to be invited to the Jazz Club and what a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Upwards of 65 people were undeterred by exceptionally bad weather and the very talented Golden Eagle Jazz Band members had travelled from several counties to entertain. The sound quality was excellent, the crowd was lively - with much finger drumming and foot tapping - not to mention plenty of enthusiastic Jive dancers! Classic and New Orleans Revival Style Jazz was the order of the day and the band introduced tunes with an injection of humour and clear knowledge of the era. You don’t have to know anything about Jazz to enjoy this wonderful (no membership) club and all ages are welcome. Find out more from Mick at *mickywelstead@gmail.com and let him know you heard about the club through the Grapevine! *Please check with Mick for up to date club meeting dates

Many thanks to Mick Welstead, for the kind invitation and very warm welcome. I will be back!

Living the best life with a serious diagnosis A diagnosis of cancer or any life-limiting illness can be a shock to the whole family, and having someone from outside the family to listen can be a real help. We are inviting new volunteers to join us.

For 35 years the Brigitte Trust, an independent Surrey charity, has been offering help to people suffering the effects of cancer and other life-limiting illness, with a free volunteer service of emotional and practical help at home.

It’s preferable for most people to stay at home, with pets and familiar possessions around them, with family and friends nearby. With the help of The Brigitte Trust, it is often possible for a family member to stay at home for longer whilst living well with their illness beyond diagnosis.

Our volunteers make weekly home visits, helping in ways like this: • Sharing memories and writing memoirs • Visits to special places • Transport to hospital • Offering respite for carers • Pets as Therapy visits • Time to share life stories and build relationships May we help you?

Join our next volunteer taster session to find out more about the courses. You will be joining a welcoming, supportive team. Full contact details in the advert above

S

ilvermere Lake (between the 17th and 18th holes on Silvermere Golf Course), is better known for its former use as the site where Barnes Wallis tested his famous Dambuster bouncing bomb. In the film and more recent TV documentaries you may recall scenes where Barnes Wallis used a huge catapult to fire mini prototypes across a lake to test whether they should use forward or back spin, a spherical or cylindrical shape or a smooth or dimpled surface. These tests were all conducted on Silvermere Lake, so if you stick the ball in the drink on the 17th or 18th, just put it down to scientific endeavour and be consoled by the thought that your ball has joined other valuable objects in the water!
