Happy New Year Weybridge!

2020 - well that has a nice ring to it! I wonder what this year has in store for us all …

For all you creative people out there, don’t miss ‘Crafting Live’ at Sandown this month. It sounds amazing and there is a special Buy 1 Get 1 Free on tickets if you quote the code on the advert. See page 4, for the low down.

The Weybridge Dementia Action Alliance is working locally to raise awareness of those living with Dementia in our community. See page 8 for details of volunteer opportunities, you could make a difference.

River House Barn have a packed programme of events this month, so do make sure you check it out on page 10.

We have a lovely new restaurant coming to Weybridge. The Waverley Inn is a stunning new venue and from what I’ve heard, I’m sure the menu will not disappoint! I aim to pay them a visit very soon!

There are lots of local events going on throughout the month so do check out the What’s On pages and I must give a little mention to ‘Jazz at Imber Court’ that’s on 17th January.

Details can be found on P27.

Wishing you a great start to this New Year!

Best Regards,

Ros

MAKING YOUR MONEY

WORK HARDER. Elaine & Keith Jones run the Weybridge office of TaxAssist Accountants. Each issue, Elaine provides advice on recent change in tax law, or addresses a topical financial issue.

Christmas Party Costs My staff will be attending a Christmas party that I have organised for them.

Will the cost be an allowable deduction for my business?

Q.

Yes, this will be an allowable cost for your business as it is to reward and motivate your staff.

However, there are some rules regarding staff entertaining that you should be aware of, otherwise it could lead to tax consequences for your staff members.

If you spend more than £150 per head, then the full amount will be taxable on the staff member; not just the amount in excess of the £150 limit. This tax charge is known as a benefit in kind. If you spend less than £150, no benefit in kind arises.

However, HMRC state that this £150 limit is to cover “annual events”, so if you provide more than one annual event, say a summer social too, then you need to make sure the cost of both events combined, total less than £150 per head. They also state that the events must be open to all staff to attend to qualify.

Please note, there are different rules if other people attend your party, such as customers and suppliers.

So as long as you stick to the costs being less than £150, then Happy Holidays to you all!

A.

Bad Weather Conditions

Q. A.

If an employee cannot get to work because of bad weather, do I still have to pay them?

Generally, there is no legal obligation to pay your staff if they are late in or do not arrive to work due to adverse weather conditions.

They will have to take unpaid or annual leave. Having said that, you should check what is written in your employees’ contracts of employment, as you may have made some concessions.

If your employee is unable to get to work because they need to look after their children as their school is closed, this may qualify as Time Off for Dependents. An employee is entitled to as much of this unpaid time off as a tribunal would see fit.

Ultimately, you should ensure your policies are clear and applied as fairly as possible.

Tax Credit estimates

I submitted my Tax Credit forms with my estimated income for the year - I have now completed my tax return but do I need to tell Tax Credit Office?

Q. A.

Yes, it will be necessary to call Tax Credit Office or use HMRC’s online service to inform them of your actual figures - and this needs to be done by 31st January.

Although your tax credits would continue if the January deadline is not met, the amount you receive from 6th April may not be accurate. This could mean that you have been overpaid and result in you having to pay back at a later date, with the possibility of also receiving a penalty.

Inspiration!

Your New You Revolution Old Idea: I’ve been wanting to do X for ages. I haven’t got round to doing it all year. I know - I’ll wait a bit longer and start on 1st January …

New Idea: I’m so excited! I really want to do Y. I want to do it so much that I’m not going to allow myself to start until 1st January ...

Lapsed Idea: I keep on thinking I should do Z. And I keep on forgetting to do it. Okay, if I’m honest, I start, and then things get in the way and I sort of lose interest and stop. And then I feel guilty that I’ve let myself down. Because I told everyone, myself included, that this time I really was going to do it. And I will. I’ll start on 1st January …

Do you really want any of those versions of you running your life? Surely the whole point about New Year Resolutions is that we don’t want to be the same person next year as the one who didn’t get things done this year.

All my clients who have made spectacular changes in their lives have first had to change something about how they saw themselves. And then the decisions to do or not do things have been pretty easy, because that new version of themselves behaves in different ways, and does different things.

This isn’t about pretending to be something you’re not, but about becoming the best possible version of yourself. If who you are now isn’t doing the things you want to do, you have to become the kind of person who does, and for that to happen, you have to want to live life at a higher level.

That’s where the New You Revolution comes in. It’s a

20 Looklocal Magazine - January 2020

radical thing to say, “That’s it. I’m not going to live like this any more. I’ll do whatever it takes to change.” And yes, that can happen on 1st January. But it can also happen today.

As a lifelong owl, my personal resolution is to become a morning person. What’s yours? What would you most like to change about your life? What’s been stopping you? What kind of person would you have to be to not be stopped by that? And what do you need in order to become that better version of yourself? A massive heart-stopping challenge? A tiny-step-by-tiny-step plan? A friend cheering you on? A big juicy reward at the end of it all?

Happy New You!

Volkswagen UP CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY

As urban living closes in and its restrictions on movement tighten up, the urgent need for ease of movement is more intense and frustrating than ever.

And that calls for a rescue, a competent means to master the growing restrictions that are making our day-to-day lives such a hardship.

The answer, I promise, comes in the petite shape and practicality of a city car that can satisfy all the needs and defy the demands and pressures of our crowdedout conditions.

And it is a case of Up and at ‘Em. Volkswagen’s painstakingly developed city car, as worthy a transport benefit as you can get, cheap and cheerful. Namely the Up....

It is to my mind the finest all-rounder and value-formoney motor you could enjoy in the well-populated city car class, a fine tribute to the superb German company’s efforts to give us ease of travel where it is most needed.

The irritating nose-to-tail crawls in endless jams are eased by the Up’s simplicity of a drive with its light steering and dead easy straightforward controls. It is such a comfy and cosy and versatile carrier of the tallest of leggy drivers any journey, around town or on a longer motorway trek, can be no bother.

The cabin itself is airy and generously proportioned

24 Looklocal Magazine - January 2020

offering an atmosphere in which you may relax whatever the snail pace surroundings. It is so cleverly and thoughtfully designed the back-seat passengers,too, may sit back and take in the views without feeling cramped. It is kind to the purse and wallet,too.Running costs are attractively modest...with fuel thirst running at around 60 mpg.

The car was facelifted from 2016 with new colours on the outside and with its innards offering even more technical advances and functional infotainment. Top of the list of improvements comes in the form of a brand new turbo petrol engine which boosts it pep and leaves rivals like the Skoda Citigo and Seat in its wake.

It offers a temptingly tasty choice of four petrol options... either a 60bhp or 75bhp non turbo power unit or a 90bhp or 1115bhp turbo version. Which ever one appeals they share the same buzzing and throaty response to the demands of your right foot.

Overall this small and affordable little beauty, a real all-rounder that defies any attacks on its prospects, is Up,Up and Away among the vast array of city car challengers. And just the job for a first time owner hunting down a bargain.

Specficiation: Price range £9,825 - £25,640. My choice: 1.0T 115 BHP GTI three door costing £14,315. Mpg 58.9. Speed - 0-62 in 8.8 secs.

POEM CORNER ALL THOSE HEALTHY ADVERTS Do you, like me, think it must be our age That makes us groan as turning page after page We find magazines full of “kindly” advice As how we can “improve” our way of life!

I think I’m really not alone In being fed up and having a moan About all the ads I read and see Aimed at the person I thought was me!

It’s good to be interested in fashion and health, But not to the exclusion of everything else.

With flowing hair and parted lips, These willowy women keep handing out tips On what to eat? On what to wear?

Change the make-up? Change the hair?

Why not follow this fitness regime?

And don’t forget the vitamin cream!

You are what you eat and your clothes define The image you present, in person, – or on line But losing sight of your original self Could cause stress and be bad for your health.

TV and articles state all you need to know About your body, from head to toe, But how do you check on this and that, As to what is false and what is fact?

And when you find a true picture, as that’s what you’re after, Along comes a survey - and changes the data!!

Glance in the mirror, pause and reflect, Has all the effort had the desired effect??

If not, one piece of advice may hold the key, “Why not go for a walk?” – and do it for free!

HUNT FOR TREASURE ISLAND IN WEYBRIDGE

Treasure Trails are enlisting the help of the bravest explorers to uncover a literary treasure lost somewhere in Weybridge.

Rumour has it, author Robert Louis Stevenson took a trip to Weybridge whilst editing his classic Treasure Island and a first edition of the book was left behind on his departure!

Treasure hunters will encounter waterways and woodland on their expedition in search of the classic tale. Look high and low for sneaky clues whilst traveling through the historic town.

Lasting around two hours, the aim is to solve sneaky clues on a circular route of approximately two miles incorporating plaques, signs, statues, monuments, images, engravings or any other unique or quirky features found in the area.

The Trails cost £9.99 for the downloadable and print at home version or £11.98 (including p&p) for the posted version, are suitable for groups of up to five and, compared to the average family day out or trip to a theme park represent amazing value for money.

There are 17 Trails to choose from in Surrey in enticing locations like ‘Kingston Upon Thames’, ‘Godalming’ and ‘Farnham Castle & Town’.

What: Hunt for Treasure Island in Weybridge Why Try a Treasure Trail: A fantastic way for families and groups to explore towns, cities and villages across the UK with a self-guided themed walk.

Price: Treasure Trails cost £9.99 for the downloadable and print at home version or £11.98 (including p&p) for the posted version Website: treasuretrails.co.uk

Gardening with Auntie Planty SUSTAINABILITY

There is a very big word circulating at the moment, with a very wide and important meaning sustainability. As it applies as much in the garden world as anywhere else, please allow me to sum it up in four words - doing the right thing.

Let’s start from the ground up.

We’ve been told repeatedly not to use peat, and yet garden centres are still selling peat based composts.

Why? Probably because the purchase price only reflects the cost of extraction and transport. If you also factored in the twelve thousand years plus that peat takes to accumulate in a modern bog, the price at the till would be so prohibitive that you wouldn’t touch it with a barge-pole.

However, it’s all very well saying not to use something, but where are the alternatives? Any material produced should have to make it through a Responsible Sourcing Calculator - measuring such things as energy and water use, social compliance, habitat and biodiversity implications, pollution of production, renewability and so on.

Coir has been suggested as a good growing medium for plants. It’s cheap enough with reasonable water holding capacity. But if you track the production process back to its source, coir needs a vast amount of water to clean it in the first place. Although it’s not our water, it’ll be a precious commodity to someone else in the world.

Wood-based fibre mixes are also available, but are a very strange colour. I was given a bag of it to trial as a mulch, © 2020 Valerie McBride-Munro

and although the plants thrived through the extremes of last summer, I must confess to a momentary frown that my front garden was now a rather vulgar bright orange.

Perhaps I should keep reminding myself that plants are much more tolerant that we humans.

There’s also a notion that spent coffee grounds could be an answer. After all in the UK people drink 70 million cups per day, and what is left is all waste - and plant waste at that. I’m told that currently most spent coffee is mixed with wood chips, pelleted into biofuel and then burnt.

I think that Kew Gardens has the answer with its giant compost heap, and there’s a secret ingredient; the City of London mounted police has tons of the stuff and so lorry loads of this ‘magic’ are delivered each week, and Kew’s plants must be the happiest in London as a result.

So, do the right thing for your soil by mulching with well-rotted horse manure - and now is a very good time of year to be doing this. No need to dig it in. It’ll improve its structure, re-mineralise it, suppress weeds and conserve water - and it’s totally sustainable..
