Welcome...

With warmer-than-average weather last month, Wanstead joined the rest of the south and the south east in the delights that come with an Indian summer. The pleasant conditions played no small part in tempting the crowds to several community-spirited outdoor events, including a Wanstead Fringe street party and open-air cinema and the Wanstead Festival itself. The weather was kind also to those following last month's art trail, with new venues to explore and artistic front gardens to discover (see page 7).

Although we may (hopefully) be continuing to enjoy the last of the extended summer (with warmer-than-average temperatures predicted into October), the progression of the seasons is inevitable, and as the leaves change, so too can our own perception of the world around us. Perhaps a pessimist will see an ending and perhaps an optimist will see new beauty develop, but either way, a new season can be a good prompt to take notice of our surroundings, to appreciate the things that are easy to miss unless you take the time to really look (see pages 62-63).

The success of the numerous events that we have documented on these pages demonstrates the receptiveness of local residents to community enhancement all year round, with participants clearly favouring all things local. But amidst the tough economic climate, celebrations such as the council-funded Wanstead Festival are often at the mercy of budgets and targets and, with the abolition of the local Area Committees, the future of some community activities are uncertain (see page 22). Of course, a community's will can be a powerful thing, and Wanstead has the correct mindset to achieve great things – indeed, as a community, we have already done so and will continue to do so – regardless of external influences. And that is because Wanstead is ever the optimist – resourceful and determined – which everyone involved can take credit for, even the pessimists.

Art Trail Wanstead was a victory for local businesses A 'meet the artist' evening for the opening of Art Trail Wanstead last month has been declared a business success.

Trail followers, art lovers and commuters returning from work dropped in at Darrell James Travel on the High Street to meet official Olympic artist Teresa Witz, who explained her varied work on display, including a portrait of Winston Churchill on wood. The business was also exhibiting work by Michael Nash, one of Teresa's

former students. Travel agent Darrell Toakley, who also leads the E11 Business Group, literally rolled out

the red carpet for his visitors and is hopeful that the concept will grow. Kevin Murphy, owner of Wanstead

Fish, joined the guests and said he would be keen to host a similar evening for next year's art trail.

Yorkshire to London

Around the UK in 49 days

A Wanstead High School pupil has completed a 167mile bike ride from Yorkshire to London to raise money for three charities.

Christian Donovan, 15, completed the journey from Tickhill in South Yorkshire, where his grandparents live, to Aldersbrook in two days, with his father, Andrew, driving in front of him. They stopped overnight in Kettering, before heading back to Wanstead, raising over ÂŁ4,500 for Teenage Cancer Trust, Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital and Orphans in Need.

Dwight Wood and his 11-year-old son Lewis have completed a 2,000-mile bike ride around the UK in 49 days. Dwight, who is chairman of the Friends of Wanstead Parklands, used the trip to raise awareness of Wanstead Park and to see what other parks around the country are doing to support sustainability.

The adventure, which began in Exeter, took a clockwise route around the coast, finishing in Edinburgh. Dwight puts the success of their trip down to the generosity of hosts around the country.

Bendy garden figures win HomeFront competition

Poignant art trail garden installation is 'over the top'

Project members with HomeFront art leader Michael Nash (top left)

Bairstow Eves Lettings, which sponsored last month's HomeFront art trail competition, has named the young creators of intriguing bendy figures that appeared in front gardens in Woodcote and Clavering Roads as winners of the £100 top prize. The money will be used for new

charity Leading Our Lives Youth Project, which helps the figure makers and other 11- to 19-year-olds with speech, language and communication impairments.

HomeFront was new for this year's art trail, encouraging residents to use their front gardens for creativity.

Appeal launched to fund Wanstead's Christmas tree

Local artists Kathy Taylor and Mike Edwards had the idea for their garden art installation – which came second in last month's HomeFront competition – while discussing the origins of the phrase 'OTT'. This modern abbreviation originates from WWI,

when soldiers were ordered to go 'over the top' of their trenches and into No Man's Land – both the artists' grandfathers would have heard these orders when they fought in the Battle of the Somme. Kathy and Mike travelled to Hill 42 in Flanders for inspiration.

A crowdfunding appeal was launched last month to ensure Wanstead would have a Christmas tree on George Green this year, following a decision by Redbridge Council to withdraw the funding it has provided in previous years. The appeal – which was initiated

by Councillor Colin Cronin – needs to raise £3,000 and is seeking support from residents and businesses alike.

Those donating £50 or more will have their name added to a bauble on the tree and will be entered into a draw to help switch the lights on. Visit wavidi.com/tree

Artistic exploration into the East India Company

An exhibition offering an artistic exploration into the history of the East India Company opened at the Temple in Wanstead Park last month. Featuring the creations of eight local artists, the work on display takes a creative look at early travel and discovery, trade and commerce.

The artists involved have each interpreted different stories from the company's history, taking inspiration from chintz, tea, opium, spices, navigation and the waves in the sea.

The exhibition is open weekends from 10am to 3pm and will be on show until the end of November.

The Friends of Wanstead Parklands will be leading a guided walk around Wanstead Park on 19 October. The last in this year's series of five walks, participants will enjoy a leisurely stroll around the western side of the park, comprising Bush Wood and Wanstead

Flats. Starting at 11am from the Quaker Meeting House on Bush Road, the twohour ramble will point out vestiges of 17th and 18th century landscaping and the site of a Roman road. The walk will end at a bus stop on Blake Hall Road. Visit wansteadpark.org.uk

Daphne du Maurier

Wanstead Hospital

Journalist and travel writer Hilary Macaskill will be discussing the work of Daphne du Maurier at Wanstead Library next month.

In an illustrated talk based on her recently published book Daphne du Maurier at Home, Hilary will explore how the landscapes of du Maurier's beloved Cornwall – where she lived for most of her life – inspired so much in her writing. The event, which is part of History Writing Month, is free to attend and will take place from 2pm on 1 November (booking is required).

Call 020 8708 7400

Over 100 people attended a Wanstead and Snaresbrook Residents' Alliance meeting last month to discuss the proposed closure of the interim care wards at Wanstead Hospital.

The biggest point of contention was the accusation that the Redbridge Clinical Commissioning Group was deliberately stopping patients going to Wanstead Hospital. John Cryer MP also used the meeting to condemn the public consultation – which has been extended to 15 October – as being "seriously flawed".

England cricket captain in action at Wanstead

Last month's successful Wanstead Festival – which saw thousands gather on Christchurch Green for family fun and entertainment – was preceded for the second year running by the Wanstead Fringe, a week of community-spirited and community-

organised events and activities. Some of the highlights included a sell-out open-air screening of The Lego Movie on Christchurch Green, a street party on Nightingale Lane and a question and answer session with media lawyer and local resident Mark Stephens.

I

t was a real privilege to be invited to paint a mural on the outside of Wanstead Station last month, so thank you TFL and thank you Art Trail Wanstead for the opportunity.

The mural is an exploration of the art trail theme 'Make Art Not War' and I wanted it to work on two levels – to be a bold statement for those passing at a distance on George Green and to hold more intricate messages for those waiting on the forecourt.

If you come close to the mural, you will see that the London Underground sign has the word 'peace' written on it in close to 80 different languages. Although our languages may look vastly different, they are all putting out the same wish and message of hope.

The visuals and wording on the mural are taken from the comic strip that I produced for the art trail, which offers a whimsical look at how we can create peace in our day-today lives.

Sam Cowan painted this mural as part of last month's art trail…

There are mini-figures in the mural making art that symbolise paths to peace. There are those with paintbrushes, writing words for peace in languages that are not their own, those with scissors cutting out paper hearts with spacious middles to allow tolerance and room for the other sculptor shaping a giant ear to help us listen deeply to each other.

The largest visual, the human paper chain, is there as a reminder that life is better when holding hands. The figures in the chain do not have mouths as I wanted to emphasise the language of the heart – as a tool for connection – rather than verbal language, which can be fractious, especially when words or opinions are vastly different to our own or expressed in a language that we can't understand.

Quite nicely, when we join hands and remember our interconnectedness, the space between us is heart shaped, as the paper chain figures demonstrate.

During the two days of painting, many passers-by stopped to remark on how they loved the message of the mural and the lift that it gave to the front of the station. As one gentleman said: "I don’t think anyone has died yet from painting!"

Here she explains the meaning behind the words and symbols she used to fill the gap on the wall For more information on Sam Cowan and her work, visit happymurals.com and cartoons4trees.weebly.com

Good mood food Local nutritionist Nicola Shubrook offers some dietary advice for battling the onset of autumn, which can trigger lower levels of our 'happy hormone' and leave us feeling tired and irritable

O

ctober is a month that truly signals autumn. It is also the month when the clocks go back, and for some the fewer daylight hours, and in particular the darker mornings, can be a real trigger for lower moods and less energy. You may find that it is harder to get up in the morning, and when you are up you have less energy during the day and often feel tired, irritable or just generally fatigued.

This can be quite common as a lack of sunlight can cause a drop in your 'happy hormone' called serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate your mood. Less serotonin leads to lower moods.

Less daylight can also affect your vitamin D levels, which may contribute to your tiredness as this is an important vitamin for your mood regulator melatonin. Melatonin naturally decreases your energy at the sign of darkness in order to help you sleep. Low vitamin D levels leads to high levels of melatonin and therefore increased tiredness, and suddenly you're in a vicious circle of poor sleep, increased tiredness and low moods. Vitamin D levels are often low in the UK generally as a lot of us spend most of our day indoors, without much exposure to sunlight.

The good news is, there are several things you can do to help keep your mood and energy levels in tip-top condition until spring comes back around again. Here are some everyday tips: zz There are certain foods that contain an amino acid called tryptophan, which is the precursor to serotonin. These include turkey, nuts, seeds, spinach, watercress, fish and eggs. Start adding these foods to your diet on a regular basis to help increase your serotonin. zz Eat at least two portions of oily fish (fresh or frozen) a week, such as salmon, mackerel, tuna (not tinned) or sardines. Oily fish are excellent sources of omega-3, an essential fatty acid that supports the function and development of your brain and is a 'good-mood fat'.

zz Vitamin D is primarily made through exposure to sunlight, but it can also be obtained through some dietary sources, including milk, fish, eggs and wholegrain cereals and breads. zz B vitamins are really important for supporting and maintaining your energy levels as they help to convert food into fuel and support your adrenal glands in times of stress. They also play an active role in helping to produce your all-important neurotransmitters, including serotonin. B vitamin-rich foods include broccoli, spinach, eggs, wholegrain breads, brown rice, chicken, turkey and fish. zz Avoid caffeine after midday and cut down on alcohol as both may affect your sleep patterns. zz Water allows your body to use the vitamins and minerals it gets, so stay hydrated. zz Cut down on sugar and fried or fast foods. These may taste great at first, but they do not keep you full and, as they cause a sharp spike in your blood-sugar levels, you'll soon feel more tired or moody than you did before you ate them.

Losing your voice Chairman of the Wanstead Society Geoff Horsnell expresses his concerns over the axing of Redbridge Council's Area and Regional Planning Committees and laments the passing of 22 September

T

he Council has abolished all Area Committees, along with all Regional Planning Committees, in what it calls a cost-saving exercise. This means that our local voice – your local voice – that used to influence decisions affecting Wanstead, Snaresbrook and Aldersbrook has been taken away, and 22 September would have been the date for the Area One Committee to meet.

Why is this important? Because all decisions affecting local areas are now made at the Town Hall and the budgets that used to fund everything from the Wanstead Festival to additional street cleaning have been abolished too.

It's also important because decisions like pay and display in the High Street, permit parking in residential roads and the funding of the Wanstead Festival are no longer taken by our local councillors, but centrally. It's these decisions that packed out the Area Committees and, rightly or wrongly, the people who made the decisions were elected locally and every six weeks they could be held accountable for those decisions; locally.

It also means it is much more difficult to influence decisions that will affect where we live, as at the time of writing, no alternative to the abolished Area Committees has been put in place.

The abolition of Regional Planning Committees – with all planning decisions now taken by council officers – means that the public have no opportunity to offer support for or object to a planning application in a public forum, and yet it is the public that will have to live with those decisions taken by unelected officials for generations to come.

Clearly, Redbridge Council have some tough decisions to take and savings have to be made.

That is not in dispute. However, the point we are making is that the removal of bodies that

are locally accountable, taking decisions by locally-elected councillors that affect individual areas – be they Regional Planning or Area Committees – is now less democratic than before.

It is also not clear what happens to the budgets and work streams that were associated with those Area Committees. Budgets that paid for the deep clean of the High Street, the hanging baskets, the Wanstead Festival, extra cleansing, CCTV and occasional parking schemes have all gone.

We have already met with our local councillors in order to raise these concerns. With local forums gone, the Wanstead Society now remains more important than ever in getting across to the Town Hall that our voice matters, and that Wanstead is worth protecting.

The Wanstead Society is an independent, non-political organisation that works to protect, preserve and improve the local area. For more information and to become a member, visit wansteadsociety.org.uk

Action woman Forest Gate resident Lucy Allen will be giving a talk about her life as a stuntwoman at a meeting of the Wanstead and Woodford U3A next month. Here she offers some insight into her unique world of work

H

aving been in the stunt industry for over 20 years I have had many experiences and worked on numerous films and TV shows, including the Oscar-winning films Braveheart and Titanic. Most recently, I have been involved in Suffragette, filming in London earlier this year, and a kids TV show Hank Zipster, shooting in Yorkshire. For five years I was involved in the Harry Potter franchise, particularly in my role as stunt double to Helena Bonham-Carter.

My talk next month will be quite personal – about my background and how I got into the stunt industry – but I also aim to educate and inform about a stunt performers life, describing the different areas of work and how the profession manages itself, and asking the question: "What actually is a 'stunt'?"

I have always had close ties to the entertainment industry as my father was a successful producer and director of many TV sitcoms, such as On The Buses and Love Thy Neighbour. My first acting job was as a child extra in an On The Buses episode entitled The Kids Outing. My first feature film job was in the classic The Railway Children, directed

by Lionel Jeffries, my father's cousin.

When not engaged as a stunt performer I can be hired as a personal trainer and massage therapist or as a speaker with my talks From Titanic to Skyfall – The Highs and Lows of a Stuntwoman’s Life and Freefall and other Aerial Adventures.

One of the amazing things about doing a high fall – or indeed any big stunt – is that the world goes quiet for a time and all the various voices and maddening chatter in your head stops. It is total focus. It is just you and your determination to succeed and get it right. Just in the run up you may have a moment when you look around you and realise that it is just you on the parapet and everyone else is having a fine time waiting for the stunt and watching you expectantly. You look down at the airbag, no bigger than a postage stamp, knowing that shortly your job is to fling

yourself off the ledge and you wonder what madness led you to this point. You keep seeing the perfect jump in your head, the road map of what you want your body to achieve, trying to programme it to do just that.

As the cameras start rolling and you hear the countdown: "Three, two, one, action…" you hope for a moment of pure calm. Be still my beating heart, you are in the moment, a body of pure energy. You are thinking of nothing but this leap of faith – in yourself and your equipment – and on landing dead on target.

Lucy will be presenting 'From Titanic to Harry Potter: The Highs and Lows of a Stuntwoman's Life' on 4 November, 10am at the monthly general meeting of the Wanstead and Woodford U3A (members only), which takes place at the Memorial Hall, High Road, South Woodford, E18 2PA. For membership enquiries, call 020 8505 5018 Lucy can be contacted on 07831 185 549

iTime to Invest?

Michael Molloy of local estate agent Martin & Co takes a look at the facts and figures of Wanstead's housing market to see if the time is right for would-be landlords to invest in local property

L

ast month, a landlord who lives near the Wanstead golf course came into our office to discuss the rising property values in the local area. He owns a varied portfolio of rental properties, primarily in Wanstead and Walthamstow, with one in Ilford, so it was interesting to compare the differences in property value increases between these places.

Over the last 12 months in Wanstead, average property values have risen from £364,200 to £419,700 – a rise of over £55,500, or £1,067 per week. When I looked at some of the surrounding areas, Walthamstow has had a slightly lower average increase in property values at around £897 per week, while Ilford has had a lower rise still, with an average increase of around £476 per week. These price rises suggest that the market has recovered steadily from a few years ago in our part of London, but especially Wanstead – good news for home owners and landlords alike.

I also had an interesting chat with a chap who lives in South Woodford, who popped into our office while his better half was doing some shopping. He is thinking of buying his first buyto-let property and he wanted my opinion on the state of the market and if it was a good time to invest.

He was particularly worried that, with all the newspaper headlines of a booming housing market, there wouldn't be any demand from tenants. One of the best pieces of advice I can give to those looking to invest in property is a simple trick of the trade. You can judge the affordability of an area's property market (and thus how much demand there could be) by simply finding the ratio of the average property price to the average salary. The lower the ratio, the more affordable property is.

When we put this to the test, we find that the average salary of someone living in Wanstead is estimated at £23,585. Combined with the average property price mentioned earlier, this

gives a ratio of almost 18:1. Most lenders will only lend up to four-and-a-half times income, so to buy an average house in Wanstead, a first time buyer would need to be on a salary of more than £90,000, and even then, would need to raise the 5% deposit, which, when you take into account buying fees, will be in the order of £22,500. The inability of the average tenant to raise that sort of money for the deposit is driving demand for rental property.

Yields for local landlords can be in the order of 3% to 5% per year in Wanstead, depending where you buy, so combine that with steady rental growth and excellent increases in capital values of the properties themselves and it could be a good time to invest in the property market in Wanstead.

Social security PCSO Alan Winston of the Wanstead and Snaresbrook Neighbourhood Policing Team offers some advice on how to stay safe online in the ever-changing world of social media

S

ocial media is constantly changing, with new apps and web pages becoming popular, but there are a few things that you can do to keep you and your family safe.

Social media is a useful way to interact with friends and family, but unfortunately, this can also mean that it can be used to bully, intimidate and con people – the playground bully can now come home with you.

It's very hard to remove anything that's posted online, have you ever tried searching for your own name? At first you'll get the most popular person who may share your name, but then, sooner or later, your details could come up.

Treat anything that is uploaded to social media as if it can be seen by all. Don't post anything that you would not want your family, friends or even your boss to see and ask your friends to do the same. Be aware of what is in the background of pictures – would people be able to tell where you live or what school you go to? Similarly, we all like to show off when we are on holiday, but does this not just announced to the world that our homes are empty?

Social media is faceless and not everybody is who they say they are in real life. They could be very different to what they portray online. You would not let children talk to a stranger in the street and talking to them online is no different.

Don't add friends to your account that you do not know and make sure that you use the security settings provided. If need be, you can always block people or close your account and start again.

Keep any offensive email and text messages sent to you as they can be used as evidence in any future prosecutions. It's also good practice to read your own emails and messages before you send them, to make sure they read in the right context.

When buying online, use trusted web pages and secure payment sites – do not click on pop-ups

as these may take you to cloned web pages that look like the real thing but are actually fake and designed to con you – look for the padlock symbol in your browser's address bar. Finally, treat your passwords like your bank card pin numbers – do not write them down.

October safety tip Keep safe when accompanying your children trick or treating at Halloween, knock on doors of friends and family and look for signs of participation at the homes you visit – keep Halloween fun for all.

For advice about computers and the web, visit getsafeonline.org If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, call Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or visit actionfraud.police.uk The Wanstead and Snaresbrook Neighbourhood Policing Team run a contact point at Wanstead House every Wednesday and Thursday between 7pm and 8pm and on Saturdays between 2pm and 3pm.

Wanstead Park 1812–1825 The ovvners of

In the 22nd of a series of monthly articles looking at the owners of Wanstead Park through history, Richard Arnopp tells how Wanstead House came to be lost

L

ast month, we saw how the marriage of William and Catherine Long-Wellesley began in spectacular style, with a lavish refurbishment of Wanstead House, which they had adopted as their main residence.

The park, too, was restored and embellished, and some traces of the improvements made at this time can still be seen.

The advent of William Long-Wellesley's regime at Wanstead was not without controversy, however. One of his first actions was to dismiss most of the existing staff, replacing them with new people of his own choosing. Shortly after, he became embroiled in an embarrassing court case concerning his attempts to close a road through the western part of Wanstead Park.

Long-Wellesley was not the first landowner to seek greater privacy by re-routing or closing roads, and indeed this had become increasingly common from the mid-18th century, as great estates moved away from being places where the owners' wealth and taste were on display

to the public at large. Instead, they began to be seen increasingly as private spaces for the recreation of the landed elite and their friends.

William Long-Wellesley's desire to close Wanstead Park seems, in part, to have been prompted by frightening harassment of himself and his wife by disturbed individuals attracted by their high public profile. Nonetheless, the hostile publicity generated by the closure suggests that he was already attracting a degree of personal dislike. In the event, the closure was successfully challenged by local people. Their victory in court was short-lived, however, as Long-Wellesley later achieved his objective via a private Act of Parliament.

Showing a degree of magnanimity in victory, he paid for the road skirting the park to be upgraded, and allowed public access to Wanstead Park at specified times.

When the Long-Wellesleys married in 1812, their financial affairs were regulated by a settlement that was, in turn, partly governed by

the wills of Catherine's father, Sir James TylneyLong, and her grand-uncle John, 2nd Earl Tylney of Castlemaine. Its principal provisions gave William control of Wanstead and Tylney Hall for life, but not Catherine's other estates.

He became Lord Warden of Epping Forest, a position hereditary in the Tylney family, and was empowered to raise mortgages of up to £100,000 on the strength of his life interest in his wife's estate. The settlement also made provision for the heir and any other children of the marriage. William's contribution to the marriage was his position as heir to his father's estates in Ireland, though these were much less significant than his wife's.

to whom they owed money. A few months later, Wanstead and Tylney Hall were ordered to be demolished for the value of their building materials.

The Long-Wellesleys' marriage seems at first to have been happy, and three children were born in the first few years: William, later 5th Earl of Mornington (1813-1863); James (1815 -1851); and Victoria (1819-1897).

Once again, Catherine attempted to buy off her rival, but by 1824 had come to find her husband's infatuation with Mrs Bligh intolerable. No doubt mindful of the legal disadvantages then faced by women in her situation, she left her husband without breaking with him completely, and returned to England with the children. After enlisting his mortified parents to try to effect a reconciliation, she finally admitted defeat and initiated divorce proceedings in the ecclesiastical courts.

As we saw last month, the great fortune that William Long-Wellesley now had at his disposal began to dissipate with extraordinary speed.

We know that the refurbishment of Wanstead and Long-Wellesley's pursuit of his political ambitions involved huge expenditure, but beyond that we have little further detail. What we do know is that as early as 1817 he obtained an Act of Parliament to override Sir James Tylney-Long's will and permit the sale of some of his wife's estates. By 1819 he transferred his life interest in Wanstead and its furniture to trustees for the benefit of his creditors. In 1820, Long-Wellesley found himself too financially embarrassed to stand again for Parliament.

This was a real problem for him, as ceasing to be a member meant that he was no longer immune to prosecution for debt. He and his wife thereupon took refuge in France, where they were to spend the next two years. By 1821, his debts were estimated at £275,375, and he was advised to sacrifice Wanstead to appease his creditors.

In 1822 William Long-Wellesley secured a nominal court appointment from King George IV to protect him against "personal molestation", and returned to England to attend to his affairs. In June, the contents of Wanstead House and Tylney Hall were auctioned in a sale which lasted six weeks.

During the sale, however, Long-Wellesley and his family thought it prudent to return to France to escape further harassment by those

Money was not the only problem during this time: in 1821, one Maria Kinnaird claimed that Long-Wellesley had fathered her child, and Catherine gave her an annuity to live at least 50 miles from Wanstead. However, this was merely the prelude to something even worse: while in Italy in 1823, Long-Wellesley became involved with a married woman named Helena Bligh.

Lurid details of their affair were later to be dragged through the courts and the press.

William Long-Wellesley's response to his wife's actions was to return to England and harass her for control of their sons, perhaps partly through malice or injured pride, but probably in the main because they represented the means by which he could exercise continued control of her estate in the future. Tormented beyond endurance, Catherine's health began to fail and in 1825 she died, aged 36.

Next month we shall see how Wanstead Park was devastated by the depredations of William Long-Wellesley and suffered decades of uncertainty before being rescued by the Corporation of the City of London.

Details of the Long-Wellesleys' marriage settlement are taken from Hand of Fate: The History of the Longs, Wellesleys and the Draycot Estate in Wiltshire by Tim Couzens.

Fun and Fabula Redbridge Central Library will become the place to be this month with a weekend of activities, workshops and demonstrations. Arts Officer Sam Goodey invites Wanstead residents to join the fun of Fabula

F

abula Festival is a four day celebration of libraries and the arts at Redbridge Central Library, brought to you by VisionRedbridge's Culture and Libraries Service.

Roger McGough launches Fabula with As Far As I Know on Friday 24 October. Don't miss this well-known and respected poet as he opens the festival with his touring one man show. A new book of poems by Roger McGough is always an event and As Far As I Know is truly a cause for celebration. Hilarious and surreal, Roger is a poet of many voices.

On Saturday 25 October, children, young people and their families are invited to take part in a day of family fun with interactive live drawing, author talks, storytelling, theatre, music, workshops and much more. With activities for children as young as two years old and up to 14 years plus, events will take place in the children's and teen library from 11am to 6pm.

The highlight of Kids Take Over at Fabula is an exciting opportunity to meet the hugely successful author of Handa's Surprise, Handa's Hen and the fabulous picture book Boo Boo Baby and the Giraffe. For two- to five-year-olds, Eileen Browne will read stories and draw for the children, while the Handa's Surprise event for three- to seven-years-old will also include music and movement, as well as reading the popular stories of Handa and live drawing.

The Y-Zone Take Over for young people kicks off with a talk by Kevin Brooks. Kevin is the criticallyacclaimed, prize-winning author of a series of 11 books for young adults, including Travis Delaney Investigates: The Danger Games, which he will be talking about on the day.

Sunday 26 October is the Fabula day for adults to enjoy some Sunday chilling with authors, musicians and a whole lot more. Local poet, singer and song-writer Jane Grell will start the day off with her Happy Sunday Redbridge session at the main stage – audience participation and

Roger McGough

fun are guaranteed. Following this, local author Clive Bloom will discuss his book Victoria's Madmen: Revolution and Alienation, Emma Healey will read from and be in conversation about her debut novel Elizabeth is Missing, Rupert Colley will present Black History, part of the History in An Hour series, and Donough O'Brien will tell of his book Who?, which looks at remarkable people who have been over-shadowed by shallow celebrities – over 200 names that should trip off the tongue, but don't. All authors' books will be available to buy and get signed on the day.

The Mellow Monday Finale is on Monday 27 October, with an open mic night showcasing the work from our recent poetry workshop with the theme 'Remembering'. Come along and listen to others read poems as the festival comes to a close.

At this month's Wanstead Historical Society meeting, Jef Page will be looking at how people in Redbridge lived through the First World War. Here he offers a few insights into Wanstead at the time

T

The drinking fountain almost had a nomadic life and had been moved from near Snaresbrook station up to George Green where it is now, while The George (originally the George and Dragon) had been completely rebuilt since circa 1902. On the site where Wanstead station now stands was The Elms, a stately home, and between the two buildings ran narrow old George Lane (which wound down to Nutter Lane), obliterated by the building of the Eastern Avenue in the 1920s.

There are few local history books covering Wanstead and those that do hardly cover World War One: there are no photos of men in khaki. We don't know how many Wanstead men joined up as the figures weren't compiled, but we do know that 340 never returned. The number was 519 for Woodford, and 1,159 for Ilford. Research is going on at present to find out more details about the Wanstead figures.

One of the few men we do know about was Cyril Page, born in 1899, who lived at 32 Gordon Road, Wanstead. After growing up in the East End, his family moved to Wanstead and he joined the army in 1917, aged 18.

In April 1918, after training, he sent a postcard home to his mother saying he was with his platoon 'somewhere in France' and 'quite well', and on 23 August another postcard said a

Details of Cyril Page supplied by Redbridge Information and Heritage

hough George V became king in 1910 and his wife Queen Mary visited the Infant Orphan Asylum at Snaresbrook in 1915 (now the Crown Court), Wanstead was a quiet agricultural parish, the peace of which was shattered by war in 1914. Many working on the local farms or in the shops, or drinking in the pubs around the High Street, would have been more concerned about the heat that summer, the cricket season that was coming to a conclusion and the poor harvest that was expected due to the lack of rain since March. Doctors were worried about the threats of infections, particularly to infants.

Wanstead in 1906

letter would follow at the first opportunity. His battalion was involved in the final allied push that ended the war. However, on 28 September his mother Minnie received the dreaded telegram informing her that Cyril had been killed in action on 1 September.

As happened to thousands of families, Cyril's war medals were sent home to the family, and along with his papers, lovingly kept by his mother and sister, they were generously donated to Redbridge Information and Heritage providing a powerful record of one local family and their personal loss.

Jef's presentation will take place at 8pm on 16 October at Wanstead Library. Visitors are welcome (tickets: £3). For more information, contact the Wanstead Historical Society on 07949 026 212

As part of last month's Wanstead Fringe, local photographer Geoff Wilkinson led a series of photo walks in and around Wanstead. Here he reflects on the photo opportunities that are easy to miss unless you take the time to really look

ne of the great things I like about taking pictures is that it forces you to slow down. You know how life is, there is always something to do or somewhere to go, we pass things in the street and we see but don't really take the time to look. That's what I liked about the Wanstead photo walks that we did during the Wanstead Fringe and Art Trail Wanstead – we took our time and looked.

The photographers that joined in were of different abilities, some experienced, some novices, but it didn't matter what level they were, we just set out to walk with no distractions other than to take pictures.

We had a great walk along the banks of the River Roding, joining the river near the end of Elmcroft Avenue and finishing by the Redbridge roundabout. It's not a great distance, but the photographic opportunities were enormous. We photographed the backlit river, ducks, flora and a heron that sat obligingly for the camera for a few seconds. Apart from the sounds of the A406, it could have easily been the middle of the countryside.

The three greens in Wanstead – Christchurch, George and Memorial – also proved fruitful.

Most of us pass these every day, we are so used to them that we don't really take any notice – they are just part of Wanstead's lovely character. On this occasion, however, we stopped and stared and found some lovely pictures hidden in everyday things.

The final walk was around the Ornamental Water in Wanstead Park, which really is a gem on our doorstep. Although much of the lake itself had a covering of algae (you have to go with what you have) it still made some good pictures.

All in all the three walks produced some excellent pictures and, just as importantly, everyone learnt something, either about composition or the workings of their camera.

We also had a great time and I can't wait to do it all again next year.

Business matters Attempting to handle the legal issues associated with starting a business yourself can be foolhardy, says Derek Inkpin, a partner in the property and business law department at local solicitors Wiseman Lee

S

ome time ago my firm was instructed by a man who had signed a franchising agreement with a well-known high street brand. He considered himself commercially savvy and had not taken advice before signing. He had instead trusted what he could find on the internet and relied on the fact they were a well-known name and thus would deal with him fairly. When the business failed to take off he was left with huge liabilities as a result of the agreement he had signed.

We all know that you can find pretty much anything you want online. But if you suspected that you had a serious illness, you wouldn't self-diagnose based on something you read on the internet. You would go and see a medical professional and get a properly informed opinion. Similarly, if you are starting up a business, you need quality professional advice.

Consider the following example. You and a friend have a good business idea and want to open a retail premises. You find the place you want and the landlord's agent offers you a 10 year full-repairing lease with a rent review every three years. Should you sign? What if the business is not a success and you are stuck with the property and a rent that you can no longer afford? Would you be able to transfer the lease to somebody else, or will you be able to walk away from your rent and other lease responsibilities without penalty?

Alternatively, you could ask for a monthly tenancy agreement for say 12 months to gauge whether the business will take off, after which, you hope the landlord will agree to convert this into a lease lasting say five, seven or 10 years. But without a legal agreement in place, there is no guarantee that the landlord will actually do this.

And what about this full repairing obligation?

Shouldn't you seek to limit this obligation because if you don't have a survey carried out you could take on the premises with an unknown (to you) serious structural defect, which could cost you a fortune to repair and ruin your

business and personal life, perhaps for many years to come, and possibly even make you bankrupt.

These are relatively simple questions to answer, but when starting a business there are all sorts of other factors to take into account. How is the business going to be structured? A partnership?

A limited company? What about personal guarantees? And if you are employing people, what Employment Law factors need to be considered?

The internet is a fantastic resource, but can you actually trust the site you are getting your information from? There will be no comeback if you get it wrong. Far better, surely, to sit down with a legal professional and discuss all these questions face to face. That way, when it comes to putting pen to paper, you can be sure that you are actually doing what is best for you and your budding business.

The man who signed the franchising agreement soon realised the error of his ways. Although we couldn't break the agreement he had signed, we were able to negotiate a settlement, although it cost him a large sum of money. He went away a poorer, but wiser man.

What is humanism?

Alice Fuller has been involved in the British Humanist Association since she graduated from university in 2007. This month, she will be presenting an introduction to humanism at Wanstead Library

H

ow do we know what is true? What makes something right or wrong? How can I be happy? What should we think about death? Over one million people have recently heard the humanist take on these big questions, thanks to a series of three-minute videos featuring presenter, actor, writer and all-round national treasure Stephen Fry. A little known fact about Fry is that he is a distinguished supporter of the British Humanist Association (BHA) and, like me, a humanist.

Like Fry, and millions of other people in this country, I believe that the answers to important questions can be found right here on earth, within ourselves. I don't think we need religion or superstition to provide the answers any more, indeed, that we'd be better off using careful reflection, the available evidence and, in the case of moral questions, a big slice of empathy.

The videos were produced by the BHA to help spread this idea and they have been a huge hit.

As a former trustee of the BHA, I will be talking about the big questions they explore at the next meeting of the East London Humanists, a growing local group who regularly meet in Wanstead.

A lot of people haven't heard of the word humanism, or if they have, they don't really know what it means. When they finally do hear an explanation of it, many find that it aptly sums up what they already believe. Even so, some people don't see the need to describe themselves as humanist. They think this is unnecessary in a country where religious belief is dwindling. I think this is a mistake for two reasons.

Firstly, I think everyone is a natural philosopher and at some time or another has asked themselves the big questions. In the absence of satisfactory answers from priests and imams, it's not helpful to simply shrug our shoulders and say it doesn't matter. It does matter: it matters to how we organise society, how we deliver justice

Alice Fuller

and how we treat each other. It also matters a great deal to the person who asks the questions and is left without meaningful answers.

Secondly, religion in Britain might feel benign, but this isn't the case in the world at large. One look at newspaper headlines about Islamic State proves this false. By saying we're humanists we're saying there is an alternative way of making sense of the world and living peacefully in it. The more people who are confident of their nonreligious, yet deeply principled, beliefs, the less accepting of intolerant ideologies and actions we will become.

In the end I think it is the prospect of this life without meaning, reason and justice that is to be feared, not anything that might be facing us in the afterlife. What do you think?

Alice's talk – which is free to attend and open to all – will take place on 6 October from 7.30pm at Wanstead Library. Visit eastlondon.humanist.org.uk To watch the Stephen Fry videos, visit humanism.org.uk/thatshumanism

creative writing Wanstead Village Directory

Alexandra Wilde, organiser of over-50s' poetry group the Redbridge Rhymesters, talks about creative writing and invites you to join her this month for a morning of work-themed recitals

A

s a performance poet, I am often asked how I start off writing the poems I recite – and where on earth do I get my inspiration from? I always explain that, for me, inspiration can come at any time – creativity tends not to be patient, or ready to wait until a more convenient time, until, say, after I've put the shopping away, or fed the cat – or the family!

Sometimes an idea, or a couple of lines for a new poem, come into my head and will not go away.

I usually carry a pen and paper with me so that I can scribble down a word or two, to help me pick up the thread later on (I don't always remember, of course; I have been known to ask a waiter for a pen so that I can write down a few verses on a paper napkin). Once you have an idea of how you want it to develop, you can then amend and polish your poem until it's exactly as you want it.

I lead a very friendly and creative poetry group called the Redbridge Rhymesters; we meet every three months or so at the Allan Burgess Centre in Wanstead. It's free and open to anyone aged 50 and over. We have been creating poetry together for nearly five years now and the next meeting will take place this month. We choose a different theme for each session and the topic for October is the world of work.

If anyone is a bit shy about reciting their work, I will perform it for them; we always have a brainstorming section as well, where I ask everyone in turn for a rhyming couplet or a short poem on the theme, which I can then incorporate into a longer group poem. All the work created and performed on the day is published in a pamphlet, which makes a lovely reminder of everything the Redbridge Rhymesters have written.

Since we started, our little group has grown in confidence. The important thing is to keep writing; you don't have to keep to a strict pattern of rhyming, and don't be put off by what other folk tell you. It's your poem, fulfilling what you

Alexandra Wilde

want to say, and the feelings, emotions and pictures in your head that you want to convey.

You might be walking along the street and see something that reminds you of an episode from your childhood – maybe playing hopscotch, with the numbers chalked on the pavement – or smell a perfume that evokes another memory, and sets you off on a fascinating journey of writing a poem about it; and how wonderful it is to be able to share this gift with other people of like mind.

Alexandra will be hosting a meeting of the Redbridge Rhymesters from 11am on Tuesday 14 October at the Allan Burgess Centre (over 50s only). For more information, email alexandra.wilde@ntlworld.com or call 020 8989 6338
