Bishop Grosseteste sees in 2013 as a fully fledged university
In a boost for the city of Lincoln, which
can now boast two universities, Bishop
Grosseteste University College has been
allowed to change its name to Bishop
Grosseteste University (BGU) following
changes in university criteria by the
Government.
The Government announced in June that
it would reduce the number of students
required for an institution to be able to use
the university title from 4,000 to 1,000
and in late November, Universities
Minister David Willetts confirmed that ten
institutions including BGU have met the
new criteria.
Bishop Grosseteste, which was formed in
1862, celebrated its 150th anniversary in
2012 and has introduced a new logo in
line with its new status as a university.
“2012 has been a very special year for our
institution, one in which we have
celebrated 150 years of higher education in Lincoln,” said
Professor Muriel
Robinson, formerly the
Principal and now Vice
Chancellor of BGU.
“To be able to take our
place alongside other UK
universities is a symbolic
moment for us which
recognises the excellent teaching and research which goes on at BGU.”
BGU has around 2,000 students, and Professor Robinson is convinced
that university status will benefit the institution and its students.
“Until now there has been confusion among prospective students and
employers about what a university college is,” she said. “We have 150
years of history, we enjoy an excellent reputation and we have
awarded our own degrees since 2006, but the university college title
has been a brake on our ability to recruit students and secure the
recognition our work deserves.”

Professor Muriel Robinson, the new Vice Chancellor of Bishop Grosseteste University, proud of
the new status.
“The University title for BGU also reflects Lincoln’s growing stature as a city.”
BGU has never been a place to rest on its laurels and in recent years has built on
its distinguished history as a teacher training institution by offering a range of
other degree courses. These include Drama, English, Music, History, Sport and
Mathematics, as well as Education Studies. And BGU continues to be at the
forefront of developments in teacher training, offering the new School Direct
programme in partnership with many Lincolnshire schools.
Rated first in England for Graduate Prospects, BGU’s newest courses are also
career-focused. From September 2013 students at BGU will be able to study Tourism,
Psychology or Enterprise and Entrepreneurship in combination with another degree
subject. They will also be able to study Tourism as a single honours degree. Heads of
Department are enthusiastic over the new courses:

Graham Meeson, Head of the Department of Education and Learning, said introducing
a Psychology degree was a natural development for BGU.
The new Enterprise and Entrepreneurship degree has been designed to work alongside
other subjects offered at BGU and to enhance students’ employability through learning
beyond the classroom.
“The new course will have at its heart social enterprise and venture creation with an
emphasis on learning by doing,” said Mark Bowen, Enterprise Development Manager
at BGU based in BG Futures.
BGU is a university at the heart of the community and its facilities for Lincoln
residents and businesses include a thriving cinema, conference venue, BG Futures office
space and of course the Curiositea cafe.

Editor’s Comment
Happy New Year to readers and advertisers alike. We have re-introduced our fantastic
DRAPER MEMORIALS
A Personal, Professional Service
4
Valentine’s Day competition this year (pages 26-27) after teaming up with some of
the best services and hotels Lincoln has to offer. This issue also contains our Health &
Beauty feature with some fascinating articles from local experts as well as the chance
to enter a competition for a day for two at the area’s leading beauty spa, Eden Hall.
2012 was tough for many businesses, but as usual, especially if you watch TV, we are
in danger of talking ourselves into recession. The media loves bad news and success
stories rarely feature, so, we try to put the record straight by featuring businesses that
ignore the doom-mongers and just get on with what they are good at - providing a
good service and creating employment.
Some of you reading this will be new to the magazine. We have increased our
distribution in the Lincoln area. I hope you enjoy the magazine and feel free to write
in letters on any subject regarding local issues. Best letter wins a bottle of Champagne
every month.

Successful lodge business
makes the case for a UK holiday
More people than ever are taking their holidays in the UK
- little wonder when businesses like ‘Rural Roosts’ offer
fantastic self-catering accommodation in the Lincolnshire
countryside.
The family run business was started by husband and wife
team Tim and Katie Olivant in 2004 at Manor Farm,
Stainfield and has gradually expanded over the years, to
become a successful and popular holiday destination.
A measure of its popularity is that half the guests are repeat
visitors - a figure of which they are very proud.
There are eight luxury,
self-catering pine
lodges, plus a lovely
cottage which
surround a tranquil
fishing lake in a
sheltered, picturesque
setting in the middle
of the farm. The farm
is in the quiet rural
village of Stainfield,
approximately 8 miles
east of Lincoln.
Katie said, “We are delighted
with how the business has
grown. We receive a great
number of guests from
Lincolnshire itself, which just
goes to show you don’t have
to travel far to get away from
the hustle and bustle of
today’s hectic lifestyle”.
So, cut out the cost and time on travel, the worry about
un-reliable flights and spend more of your treasured holiday
time relaxing and chilling out!
COULD YOU OFFER JUST A LITTLE OF YOUR TIME
TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE TO A VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON
We are actively recruiting volunteer
befrienders in your area!
We need your help to assist with reading correspondence, home visits,
shopping trips, social outings, leisure pursuits, group activities such as swimming
and 10-pin bowling, driving and telephone befriending.
We offer training and support and we pay out of pocket expenses
including mileage at 0.45p per mile.

50 years ago this winter, the United Kingdom was buried in snow
and experiencing truly Siberian temperatures. The ‘Great winter’ of
1962/3 is still seen by many who lived through it as the winter that
never seemed to end. A stark contrast to the winter so far this
season which still doesn’t seem to have begun (this I expect to change). Over the past
three centuries the UK has seen a frozen Thames to January’s where daffodils begin to
show themselves early. There is such a wide range of past examples of both severely cold
and surprisingly warm winters; I have therefore, picked a selection of unusual events that
should interest you. You may or may not have noticed that the past five winters have
contained some especially cold and snowy episodes, out of kilter with the relatively mild
winters over the last decade preceding this. Why is this and can we expect more of this in
the future or simply a return to a milder, snowless and warped version of winter
portrayed by global warming extremists?.
I will start with the winter of 1813/14, a truly bitter winter and the last time the tidal
stretch of the Thames froze over before the removal of the old bridge which resulted in
increased tidal flow, therefore, making it much more difficult for the Thames to freeze.
The temperature anomaly for January 1814 was -2.9 Celsius for the month as a whole
making it the third coldest since records began. Then there was the winter of 1837/38
where the temperature in Beckenham, Kent reached a jaw dropping -26 on 20th January
1838. The winter of 1946/7 is a particularly interesting one as the December was much
like the past December, some snow fell in early December then there was a notably mild
spell with temperatures regularly topping 14 Celsius in the south. This mild weather
continued up until the 22nd January when one of the snowiest winters on record in the
UK began. From this date up to the 17th March there was continuous snow cover
somewhere in lowland UK. Frequent easterly winds brought heavy snow throughout
much of February with some places reaching upwards of seven feet of snowfall and tens
of feet where drifting took place. So close to the end of the war, fuel shortages were also
a major issue and electric supplies in some parts were simply halted for the whole period
of extreme weather. Unlike 1947 the famous winter of 1962/3 was more famous due to
its longevity and low temperatures than its snow, despite there being a lot of the white
stuff. People chose to walk on top of hedgerows rather than risk plunging into snow
drifts. From Boxing Day to early March snow plastered Britain with temperatures
regularly staying below -5 during the day. Despite these severe conditions, nearly all
schools remained open, strange when you consider only 3/4cm in Southern Britain on
10th December 2012 prompted many schools to shut. I could go on here with many
other severe winters of the past up to present but there are simply too many to mention
at this time.
At the present time we seem to be going through a period of more extreme winters, or
more traditional depending on your view point. Many suggestions have been bandied
around as to the cause of this, some say it is the very low solar activity we are currently
seeing, others blame the melting Arctic while others blame natural winter cycles. I’m
sitting on the fence with regards to this because there is no clear evidence either way but
I think it has shown up those who predicted in the early 2000s that snowy winters were
a thing of the past, after all December 2010 was the coldest in 100 years. As for this
winter, well at time of writing it has tended to be milder than average with little
significant snow to talk of. However, changes in the upper atmosphere in early January
signify some dramatic changes towards mid to late January and into February in
hemispheric circulation with a tendency to more high pressure systems to the north of
the UK. If one situates itself in the correct position severe cold spells are likely, but it
really does all depend on the orientation of these high pressure systems. My opinion is
that the cold and snow will come (famous last words).
As for future winters, we are a tiny island open to attack from the warm Gulf Stream.
Severe cold spells are not the ‘norm’ for British winters. My personal opinion is that
winters will fluctuate and that any suggestion of snowless winters in the near future is
ludicrous.

LOVE : Twenty images - twenty
years by Phyllis Mahon
Gallery at St. Martin’s, Lincoln,
3rd - 10th February 2013
Artist Phyliss Mahon is holding an exhibition of romantic
8
imagery for the week before Valentine’s Day.
Irish artist Phyllis moved from London
to Lincolnshire 20 years ago to live in
the Wolds near Horncastle. To celebrate
this personal anniversary, Phyllis will fill
the intimate space of the Gallery at St.
Martin’s with her works. Large richly
coloured chalk pastels and striking lino
prints of the early 1990s precede her
more recent romantic, small, bright
watercolours. This will be an exhibition
from an artist who is inspired by love
and literature.
“Love” is Phyllis’s first solo exhibition in
Lincoln city and is also the first of three
exhibitions by Phyllis in 2013: the
second in April is a retrospective in her
home town of Omagh, Northern
Ireland where she was born, then to round off the year,
Gallery at St. Martin’s will again play host in late October.

The Business...
Welcome to our business section where local experts in the city enlighten you on their chosen subjects. This month we feature Wilkin
Chapman LLP Solicitors, Buy to Let Mortgage People Ltd and Streets Chartered Accountants.
Safeguarding your wishes –
why wills and powers of
attorney are important
Are you a Landlord or
an Investor?
LISA JANE-HOWES. PARTNER AND HEAD OF
WILLS, PROBATE, TAX AND TRUSTS AT
WILKIN CHAPMAN LLP
DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL SERVICES,
One of life’s certainties is that it changes and none of us can be certain
what the future holds. No matter what your age, you can take steps to plan
for and deal with the changes that life brings.
Lisa-Jane Howes, partner and head of wills and probate department at
Wilkin Chapman LLP, says: “Making a will or a Lasting Power of Attorney
(LPA) may appear daunting, but it does not need to be. Unfortunately, death
or loss of mental capacity can happen at any age. By planning ahead,
however, you can ensure that your wishes are safeguarded and that your
money and affairs will be taken care of. ”
Whatever your circumstances, making a will can ensure that, upon your
death, the distribution of your assets is in accordance with your wishes.
A will can create trusts to ensure that your property passes to the next
generation, and is not lost to another family on remarriage. It can also be
used for care home fee planning, structured in a way that is acceptable to
the local authority.
The benefits of making up to date wills are numerous. Wills can be drafted
for tax planning purposes, asset protection, protection against a beneficiary’s
divorce, bankruptcy, death or mental incapacity. A will can also prevent the
loss of means-tested benefits should a beneficiary be disabled.
Wills can still be drafted if you are undecided on how your estate should be
distributed; a will can take this into account, leaving the final decision to be
made on your death by responsible Trustees in accordance with your wishes.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) can ensure your family can access your
finances in your sole name and for your benefit should you be unable to
deal with these yourself either through physical or mental incapacity. It is a
legally binding document which allows you to choose people you trust to
make decisions on your behalf about your property and affairs, or your
personal welfare, or both.
If you do not have a LPA in place and you lose your mental capacity, it will
be necessary to apply to the Court of Protection for a Deputyship Order.
This is a costly and lengthy procedure and can be very stressful for your
family.
Wilkin Chapman LLP can advise you on all aspects of making wills and
LPAs providing certainty over your finances both during life and on death
and can be stored away for use when required.

BUY TO LET MORTGAGE PEOPLE LTD
2
012 has been a year of unprecedented
growth for our business and we fully expect
2013 to be even better as investors continue to see ‘buy to let’
property as being the most prudent place to invest their money.
With average rents in the UK being at an all-time high together
with a national shortage of new homes being built, investors are
viewing property as a safe bet and as we slowly turn into a nation of
renters, the long term is looking increasingly promising for those
investing in this sector.
Those who purchase ‘buy to let’ properties, are either a ‘landlord’ or
an ‘investor’. A landlord is someone who often buys a property in
the location where they live, make home improvements and play an
active part in the management of the property themselves. As the
landlord builds up their portfolio, the time taken to oversee the
business can be a full time job! On the other hand, an ‘investor’ tends
to view property as a money box – a box that keeps your money
and makes you money! They are just looking for a return. This type
of hands-off investor will purchase property away from where they
live to benefit from regional trends and often use a professional
company to help them source the property and manage it. New
builds appeal to the ‘hands off ’ investor as they are able to purchase
the property for a discount, have the protection of builders
guarantees, have a property that is easy to manage and also attractive
for tenants to live in.
A new year’s resolution for us all should be to take some time to
look ahead at how we would like to live during our retirement; and
then review our investments and pension plans to check if they are
likely to provide the income that we require. I guess that for many, if
the exercise is done correctly, the realisation will be alarming –
retirement will not be looking like a good place to be with
insufficient income!
Of course, the most compelling reason to invest in property is the
fact that you don’t need to use all of your own money – three
quarters of the purchase price can be provided by a bank or building
society by means of a mortgage. Borrowing money against a
property’s value allows you to leverage your cash to purchase an asset
that is often worth 4 x the amount that you have to invest.
Whether you are a current landlord or looking to be a new landlord
or ‘investor’, our team of experienced mortgage advisers would be
pleased to discuss with you both your mortgage options and
property investment strategy.

2013 a time to grow slow as you grow
JAMES PINCHBECK MARKETING PARTNER,
STREETS CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS
G
iven that there has been little or no growth in
the overall economy in the last couple of years,
then why should 2013 be a year that businesses
look to grow? A good question, with the answer in the main being that
with little prospect of an upturn to drive growth, increased economic
prosperity will have to come from increased levels of business activity.
No doubt many will feel this is going to be a tall order and a significant
challenge, but no longer can it be acceptable just to tread water and wait
for the upturn. It is often the case that those businesses without an
appetite for growth tend to stagnate, experience declining profitability,
and find it difficult to attract new customers and retain key staff. Too,
such businesses often find funding investment a challenge and there is a
tendency that they compete more on price than any other marketing
differentials. In extreme cases such businesses can be subject to
insolvency and liquidation.
What then constitutes growth? Overall most would see growth within a
business context as being an increase in its turnover levels and/or
profitability over a set period, say year on year.
How then can you grow your business? In essence there are four ways a
business can achieve growth, typically they are:
• By selling more to existing customers
• By selling to more customers
• By selling new products to new markets
• By improving the way in which you do business
In addition to these four approaches, growth could be achieved, not least
for those with a real hunger for growth, or those that have already
exhausted all or some of the points above, through a more strategic, or
tactical, approach. With such approaches perhaps accelerating the growth
strategy, or reducing the risk or quickening the pay back, especially for
those operating in stagnant markets. Too, those with cash reserves,
management flare and/or technical prowess, or other competitive
advantages, are often better placed to exploit such opportunities be it a
merger, acquisition or strategic alliance. Equally it’s often the case that
businesses can achieve heightened growth rates through divesting
themselves of none core activities which then frees up time and
resources to focus on core business.
Whatever your route to growth your accountant should undoubtedly be
on hand to give commercial advice, challenge and support you along the
way. In particular, their focus will be around assessing and advising on
risk and exposure, profitability and scalability, forecasting and planning.
In addition, they no doubt will give advice on the tax implications and
opportunities to capitalise on reliefs and planning strategies; together
with advice on securing funding etc.
Over the last few years it has been easy perhaps for many a business to
maintain a status quo, but without the prospect for an economic upturn
to boost sales it must now be down to business itself to create its own
prosperity. Surely 2013 must be a year to kick start your business.

Don’t Get Caught Out by
Self Assessment
Deadline
Lincoln Company helps
improve health
Refurb to finish on
24th January
Lincoln company, Amethyst Health
As reported last
Chartered accountants Duncan &
Screening recently visited the 10
branches of Duncan & Toplis to give
health checks and advice to employees
on how to improve their health. Fred
Boulton of Amethyst said, “We received
a warm welcome at each branch and
are glad to have been able to give
advice on improving individual
health”.
Toplis are urging people not to get
caught out by the imminent self
assessment tax deadline which is
looming at the end of January.
The leading accountancy practice,
which has 10 offices across the East
Midlands, already takes away the pain
of self assessment by preparing and
submitting well over 10,000 returns on
behalf of clients every year.
The 31 January deadline applies to all
individuals who need to complete a
self assessment tax return and make
direct payments to Her Majesty’s
Revenue and Customs in respect of
their income tax, Class 4 National
Insurance and capital gains tax
liabilities.
There is an automatic penalty of £100
if the return is not submitted on time,
even if there is no tax due or the
return shows that a refund is due.
“Submitting your self assessment
return can be as inviting a prospect as
a visit to the dentist – but at least we
at Duncan & Toplis promise to make it
a less painful experience,” said
Nicholas Smith, a Tax Partner at
Duncan & Toplis.
“Not everyone needs to complete a
tax return – you may already pay all
the tax due on your earnings or
pensions through your tax code under
PAYE.
“But if your tax affairs are more
complicated – for example, if you’re
self-employed or a company director,
or if you receive a foreign income –
you will always need to complete a tax
return.
“Remember too that the deadline
relates not just to personal tax but also
to trusts and partnerships.”
If you would like Duncan &
Toplis to help you to submit your
self assessment Tax Return visit
the website www.duntop.co.uk or
call 01522 507000.
Duncan & Toplis Managing partner,
Adrian Reynolds said, “I am pleased
with the professional and efficient
manner in which this process was
carried out. The feedback from staff has
been very positive and many
appreciated the opportunity to receive
practical advice on improving their
general health and well-being”.

The Tap reopens
The Tap & Spile public house
reopened in late November 2012 after
being closed for some eight weeks.
The closure was due to publican Terry
Kingsman’s ill health. Terry has been
involved in the Tap & Spile for the last
10 years.
The pub has a reputation as being a
REAL pub as opposed to the myriad of
chain and formula pubs that dominate
the high street. Customers are pleased
therfore that Terry’s former business
partner at the Tap & Spile, Peter
Hladun is now in charge. Peter left the
pub three years ago to pursue other
business interests but is now back to
continue the pub’s traditions.

Financial Adviser believes
independent is best
An Independent Financial Adviser can provide personalised
advice on a host of areas, but how do you find the right
advisor for you?
Simon Zigante, who started Choice Independent Financial
Services (Choice IFS) seven years ago in Lincoln, believes
that a personalised, flexible service ensures that you get the
most from your advisor.
Simon explained, “Many people
think that an adviser is only for
the wealthy, but this just isn’t the
case, many of my clients are
everyday people from all walks of
life”. He continued, “I offer a free
initial review to all new clients to
asses their individual needs, and I
endeavour to be as flexible as
possible by offering home and
evening visits”.
Simon has worked in the financial
industry for over 22 years, 12 of
which were spent in two major high street banks. His main
areas of business are investment advice on existing or new
investment ISA’a, bonds, unit trust holdings, new or existing
pensions plans including pension drawdown and tax
planning. “I try to talk to my customers in a straightforward,
but informative way without too much jargon,,” said Simon.
Industry standards have changed over the years and all
advisors have had to achieve new levels of qualifications to
comply with current regulations. Many banks no longer offer
Financial Advice to their customers, so lots of clients who
took out investments with banks no longer have an advisor
to turn to.
Many people could benefit from impartial advice from the
services of an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).
In addition, all advisers will no longer receive Commissions
from providers on investment business.This will offer greater
transparency and customer awareness of the costs for setting
up Investments.

Lincoln and Lindsey Blind Society is a local charity working
to help people with a visual impairment to be independent.
The charity’s mission is to enhance the quality of life of
severely sight impaired and partially sighted people, whatever
their age or circumstances in life. They have been fortunate
in obtaining funding from the Big Lottery Fund to run a
befriending programme called ‘A Friend in Sight’.
Befrienders provide companionship and support to clients in
their own homes. This is a much valued service, as many are
older people who have developed sight problems in later life
and may now find it difficult to live active, independent lives
without some extra help. Befriending volunteers can provide
a real lifeline to help people maintain independent living
skills and social contacts.
Volunteers may undertake a variety of tasks and they are as
diverse as the clients, but could include: a social visit for a
chat and a coffee; going out for a walk; helping someone
with their shopping; assistance with their correspondence
including email, reading and sorting paperwork; facilitating
access to a social activity. Most volunteers visit a client
regularly once a week or once a fortnight for a couple of
hours on a fairly
long-term basis, if
possible. This is a
highly valued
service which helps
to ease social
isolation for many
people as they

These provide stimulating safe environments in which

Volunteering can seem daunting at first but the local
Volunteer Coordinator, Michaela Ardley supports volunteers
every step of the way. “Volunteers can feel apprehensive
when they are first matched with a client or become
involved in a group activity, but empathy and a good sense
of humour, coupled with training and support sees both
volunteer and client developing positive relationships in a
very short space of time”.

Burton Hathow Update
As mentioned in last monthʼs Bailgate Independent
this is the first of a series of updates from newly
formed independent school Burton Hathow.
Burton Hathow is now open and has received a phenomenal initial
response. Head Teacher Penny Ford commented, “We are delighted
the school has been so well received, and that so many parents share
our values and educational priorities. The first day was Monday
14th January, and it was a proud moment for our whole team who
have achieved so much to make this happen”.
The main school is open from 8:40am every morning, with Early
Morning Club from 7:45am and although school day finishes at
3.55pm, children are welcome to stay until 6pm for after school
and prep clubs.
Burton Hathow is set in beautiful countryside, just two miles
from the City boundary, with mature woodland and open views
all round.
The school also runs a holiday club, “GO BEYOND”, for which
there is a Free Taster Day on Monday 18th Feb.. The club caters for
children aged 2-11. Book early to reserve your place. Contact the
school office on 01522 274616.
For those of you unfamiliar with Burton Hathow there is an Open
Day on Friday 15th February.
Burton Hathow is a true preparatory school and invests time in
preparing children for the secondary school of their choice.
Leading 11+ specialist at Burton Hathow, Mike Daly states:
Places are available for children to join Burton Hathow in Year 5
and 6, giving them the best possible foundations before their next
step in education.

“It is paramount that parents begin to make an informed

training takes unnecessary pressure off both child and parent as
they approach Year 6.The foundations are incredibly important

educational disappointments”.

The philosophy at
PinPoint Therapy is to
give the patient an
effective and relaxing
treatment whilst giving
them the understanding
and sense of control of
their health challenge
which results in a more effective and longer lasting end
result.
Lucie states, “Many people are missing out on the benefits
of acupuncture for the fear of needles or for the unknown,
in fact the sensation is minimal and induces a deep state of
relaxation. The pins help the body produce its own
medicine giving your body the boost it requires to take over
and heal yourself. It is one of the oldest forms of medicine
and has helped billions of people worldwide’’.
Lucie has helped clients with back pain, migraine,
depression, PMT, infertility, gallstones, stroke and cancer to
name a few. Some clients come for a relaxing massage where
acu points are stimulated to boost their immune system.
Lucie explains, “One client had severe shoulder and lower
back pain and in one massage session the pain disappeared
for a month, due to his fear of needles he is happy to have a
maintenance massage once a month.
“Clients often comment that it is my calm and approachable
nature and most importantly the way I explain their
condition to them that makes me stand out from other
acupuncturists leading to them to recommend me to friends
and family”.
Not content with just running a successful therapy practice,
Lucie also volunteers as an ambassador for the Princes Trust
helping young adults achieve their dream of self-employment.

With the advent of regular TV shows highlighting our nations growing obesity and
health related illness issues, families are starting to invest time and effort into a fit and
healthy lifestyle, with fat loss a mainstay of exercise and nutritional adherence.
To combat the use of ‘labour saving devices’ such as dishwashers, microwave ovens,
remote controls, car washes and mobile phones - we must practice ways of balancing our
health with exercise and physical activity.
Diseases of inactivity (hypokinetic) are considered a main cause of death in the UK and
other developed nations (World Health Organisation 2009). Current guidelines suggest
30 minutes of moderate physical activity 5 to 6 days per week can lead to significant
health benefits (Department of Health 2009).
By incorporating regular participation in either
fitness training or sports activities, the onset of
conditions (cardiovascular diseases, cancer,
osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, obesity, mental
health) can be reduced.
Low levels of activity are leading to a rise in
heart disease and lung disorders. This
hypokinetic issue is on the increase and is
attributed to lifestyle changes, rather than
medical diseases such as tuberculosis or scarlet
fever.
Amount and level of exercise required can of
course vary - depending on the individual,
however 60% to 90% of MHR (maximum
heart rate) for 30 minutes is adequate for those new to exercise, and in some cases those
returning to activity after time away. Whilst these recommendations are valid, a
percentage of people will not keep to them, due to the initial effort involved, thus
leading to on-going cycles of ‘starting and stopping’ exercise or fad diets.
When embarking on health and well being improvements, take into account ‘change
cycles’. A change cycle is the general order of an individual when undertaking a health
and fitness prescription: 1. PRE-CONTEMPLATION
2. CONTEMPLATION
3. PREPARATION 4. ACTION 5. MAINTENANCE 6. RELAPSE.
These stages are seen or expressed with almost all at some point in life and therefore
should be addressed early to stay on track with improvements.
Good Condition’s “Tip of the month”
Aim for moderate exercise when just starting out, with a realistic goal of reducing body weight by 1
- 2 lbs per week and body fat by 0.5% to 1% per week, as this is both achievable and sustainable
for beginners. Try to consume 4 - 5 small meals per day with a balance of protein, carbohydrate,
vitamins and fats, instead of “skipping breakfast” with the notion of avoiding calories. Regular H20
(water) hydration is essential to maintain normal bodily functions and assist in digestion of foods.

Local therapist
Bongani Wilson looks
at how to be realistic
about new year
health resolutions
New Year - New You!
New years resolutions - we’ve made them, we’ve heard other people
talking about them and most of those I hear about at least deal with one
subject - our health. So what do you associate with new year’s health
resolutions? What cultural stories do we hear about them? Many of them
can be pessimistic, skeptical and perfectly logical, yet offer no real reason
not to do something worthwhile for ourselves. When you hear these
what’s really being said is “I don’t want to try and fail - AGAIN. It’s safer
to lower my expectations” or simply “I don’t want to do something I find
this challenging, here’s an explanation which makes it ok not to”.

“Balancing your What and your Why”
Regardless of any opinions, are there people who make resolutions, enjoy
carrying them out and make permanent changes? Absolutely. In fact... Are
there people who are in the worst state you can imagine who turn it
around permanently? No question. Many of them are just like you and I.
We all know resolutions which would improve our health. Here’s a simple
way to choose one and ensure it leads you to feel healthier and more
satisfied. I call it ‘balancing your What and your Why’.
Think of an example resolution you could make if one hasn’t come to
mind already. Firstly, how strong is your Why? What do I mean exactly?
Well lets say for example that two people, roughly the same age and state
of health as you, make the same new years ‘health resolution’. Let us
pretend both of them were booked in for a checkup with the doctor
during december. One didn’t attend for some reason and had a Christmas
and the New Year break much like yours. The other did attend and
received a serious diagnosis (you decide the details). Now let’s also say
they had a kind family member with them when they went to the
appointment and all their close friends and family find out during their
time together over New Year holiday. To cap it off this person’s boss also
finds out - and the job they have requires them to be reasonably fit and
healthy. Now here’s the important question - who do you think is most
likely to actually follow through on their decision? We all know the
answer. Why? Because they’re ‘Why’; they’re reasons for acting, were
overwhelming.
Bongani Wilson is a former international gymnast and talented
therapist. Practicing in multiple locations in Lincoln, including
the new Revival Community Cafe on Mint Lane. “Always
looking for a new challenge and if a client isn’t satisfied I’ll pay
them - 110% money back guarantee.” To contact Bongani call

Now bring to mind an example resolution again. Choose a new one if
you like. This is your ‘What’. How are you feeling about acting on it?
How easy or difficult your gut feels it will be needs to match the strength
of your ‘Why’. If it doesn’t, change what you are aiming for or find a
deeper reason for making it happen. It sounds unbelievably obvious but
this is a fundamental basis for real change.

think. Local optometrist Annabelle Magee
explains.
One in five children have a vision disorder. Not knowing any
differently, many of these children accept poor vision and
other eye ailments as normal. If left unchecked, serious
long-term effects can result.
When it comes to your child’s vision, what could be more
important?

I see I learn
Over 80 percent of a child’s learning is based on vision. If vision
problems remain untreated, kids who are packed with potential
are left lagging behind in learning. They may even become
withdrawn or disruptive.
If detected, these conditions can be corrected by an optometrist
(optician). Optometrists often prescribe corrective lenses or eye
exercises, enabling young children to rapidly catch up to their
friends.
An eye exam is essential
Taking your child to the optician for a comprehensive eye exam
is the most important thing you can do for your child’s
wellbeing.

An optician can complete this test even if your child doesn’t
know their ABC. An optician can use shapes, animals and other
child friendly ways to evaluate vision and eye health.
Vision screenings offered by schools, are limited in evaluating a
child’s overall eye health. Many serious eye conditions don’t have
obvious symptoms. A thorough eye exam by an optician is the
only way to know for sure.
Common vision conditions
Several different vision skills must work together for your child to
see and understand clearly. If any of these vision skills are out of
sync, your child’s learning development can be greatly affected.
Long sightedness and astigmatism are the most common vision
conditions among children. The treatment of a lazy eye
and/or squint in a child’s early years is critical, as these
conditions become more difficult – and sometimes impossible
to correct as the child ages.
Warning signs include:
Poor visual performance is also common and largely escapes
detection in general vision screenings. A complete eye exam is
required to determine visual-performance problems, including
poor coordination of the eyes, squint, eye movement defects,
poor eye-hand coordination and difficulties controlling focus.
• Avoiding puzzles. Books, colouring or other neardistance work
• Sitting very close to the television
• Holding objects to close
• Covering one eye when looking at something up close
• Body rigidity while looking at distant objects
• Lack of concentration
• Visible frustration or grimacing
• Excessive blinking or rubbing of the eyes
• Tilting of the head or unusual posture
• Lack of participation
• Performing below potential
• Complaining of headaches, blurred or double vision,
or burning or itchy eyes
• Marked inability to catch, build, balance or do other
related eye-hand coordination activities
Warning Signs
• Hyperactive or short attention span
Although many serious eye conditions don’t have obvious
symptoms - as already stated, a thorough eye exam by an
optometrist is the only way to know for sure. A parent can be the
first to detect early symptoms of some eye problems in a child.

Julian Kessler R.G.N.of Lincoln Laser Skincare looks at how laser technology can help reduce the signs of ageing
It’s amazing how, before you know it, another year has passed. Here
we are in 2013, a little bit older and hopefully a little wiser. It’s only
when you stop and take notice do you realise that unfortunately time
starts to catch up, and although we all want to be wiser we are not so
keen to carry on getting older, especially when it shows in our face.
Lines and wrinkles, freckles and pigmented lesions, uneven skin tone
and general signs of dull ageing skin. Ageing is inevitable, however
most of us would like to age gracefully and we want to look good for
our years. There are many options available to reduce the signs of
ageing, and one of the latest innovations to really establish itself is
called Fractional laser treatment.
This is a laser treatment that has had
plenty of exposure in the media recently
thanks to celebrities such as ‘The Kardashians’. You
only have to watch the older contestants on ‘Dancing on
Ice’, such as Pamela Anderson (45) and Anthea Turner
(52) and wonder how they manage to achieve and
maintain such
glowing healthy skin.
The new laser treatment stimulates collagen
production in the dermal layer of the skin.
36
Ok, they will probably have
had some help from injectable
anti-ageing treatments such as
‘Botox’ and dermal fillers but
these have little impact on the
actual condition and
appearance of the skin itself.
A radiant, soft, glowing, and
bright complexion are the best indicators of a healthy young skin and
Fractional laser can help to achieve this.
This treatment is able to tick a number of boxes when it comes to
rejuvenating the skin. It stimulates collagen production in the dermal
layer of the skin, helps to breakdown melanocytes which cause
pigmented lesions and also helps with post-inflammatory marks
following acne breakouts. It is also useful for improving skin texture
and can be used for certain types of scarring, including stretch-marks
and to ease congestion. This treatment is also suitable for rejuvenation
of the neck, décolleté and back of hands. It is an ‘ablative’ laser
treatment, which means there will be a short recovery time when the
skin feels mild to moderately sunburnt and some dryness and flaking
can occur.
Following a 10 week clinical trial carried out in Autumn last year,
every patient we treated saw an improvement in their skin. Many
have decided to continue with treatment and then have maintenance
top-ups as required. The feedback we received was very positive, so it
has been a very exciting investment, but most importantly it gives
our patients another option and allows us to keep up to date with
new technology and innovations.
With prices starting at £125 you don’t need to be a celebrity to
afford it. So, if you are keen to start investing in your skin, whether
it’s to improve skin texture, tone or fighting the ageing process,
whether you are male or female, this treatment is worth considering.
For further information contact us at Lincoln Laser
Skincare on 01522 575756. We are always happy to offer
advice and guidance.

‘Inspired’ opportunity for
talented local children
Students at Lincoln Minster School are eagerly anticipating the
release of a new CD on which they feature. ‘Inspired’ by Howard
Goodall had enjoyed top spot on Amazon’s ‘Hot Future Releases’ list
in advance of its launch on Monday, 14 January.
Howard Goodall invited the Lincoln Minster School Chamber
Choir to record this new album with him and Classic FM in
London. Lincoln Minster School is known for its musical excellence
and has been honoured for its students to have numerous
opportunities since 2011 to work with the multi-award winning
broadcaster and composer of choral music, stage musicals, film and
TV scores (whose best known theme tunes include Blackadder, Red
Dwarf, QI, The Vicar of Dibley).
The Chamber Choir in Lincoln Cathedral with Aric Prentice, LMS Director
of Music (extreme left) and Howard Goodall (back row, far right).
The album features a number of new works alongside some of
Howard’s best-loved pieces. Foremost among the new compositions
is a brand new 10-part oratorio – ‘Every Purpose Under The
Heaven’ - commissioned by United Learning (of which Lincoln
Minster School is part). Inspired also features a number of exciting
special guests alongside the Lincoln Minster School Chamber Choir:
internationally-acclaimed tenor Noah Stewart, soprano Laura
Wright, guitarist Craig Ogden and Howard Goodall’s own choir
Enchanted Voices.
Members of the Chamber Choir, Ollie and Ellie said, “Working with
Howard was a brilliant experience; we knew some of his work and
were very excited to meet him. He is so supportive and
understanding and we were delighted when he asked us to feature
on his new album. Performing the world premiere of ‘Every Purpose
Under the Heaven’ at Westminster Abbey on Remembrance Sunday
was awe-inspiring, then to have Howard conduct us at home in
Lincoln Cathedral meant that all of our friends and family could
come. The actual recording at the studios in London gave us a great
insight into the music industry, something that we won’t forget.”
38
Howard Goodall says, “The Lincoln Minster School Chamber Choir
were a dream to work with and they led larger groups of singers
with great skill, warmth and commitment. This was a really happy
musical collaboration. I am extremely proud of my association with
the School and its outstanding musicians.”
Director of Music at Lincoln Minster School, Aric Prentice, said,
“We place great importance on giving our young musicians every
opportunity to gain experience of performing to different audiences,
arranging international tours, professional recordings and free recitals
to which anyone can come. Some of our students have taken part in
professional recordings on several occasions but for others this will
have been a first, so they are really excited to hear the CD and see
how it performs in the album charts.”
SoundOff!!
The 2012 Christmas Market one-way system received a lot of
flack - reading this letter itʼs hardly surprising! We welcome
letters on this or any subject. Best letter wins a bottle of
Champagne.
Dear Mr Copeland,
I have been a restaurant owner in the Bailgate for over 10 years. I usually welcome
the Christmas Market, as it is great for business, it brings tourism to Lincoln and
gets everybody in the Christmas spirit ready for the countdown to Christmas day.
Words cannot express my sheer disappointment with the Christmas Market
last year.
I was concerned when I first heard about the new one-way system.The route was unclear and I
personally found it hard to imagine everybody coming up Steep Hill especially the elderly and
disabled, also if we were to suffer bad weather conditions as in previous years this is not the hill you
want to have to walk up to enter the market.
Other business’s that I had spoken to were also unsure how the new system would work and affect
trade. However, we spent weeks preparing for the event, ordering extra food, drink and getting extra
staff, as we expected it to be extremely busy as on previous years.
On Thursday, the day of the opening of the Christmas market, everywhere was really quiet with
mainly stall holders wandering around. Thursday is usually the quieter day, however, with the market
opening earlier than usual we expected it to be busy. When lunchtime came and the restaurant was
empty I went to have a look around. Pedestrians were being ushered around the one-way system at
the back of the White Hart Hotel, they didn’t even have a chance notice to Café Zoot and other
shops. The marshals stood in a long line barricading the area and kept moving the people along.
The block between ourselves and the Cathedral Square stopped people getting to our restaurant from
either direction, people could not walk up from Steep Hill or the Castle Square instead they had to
follow the lengthy route of the one-way system and from the other direction they were being forced
around the back of the Cathedral. The Christmas market attracts visitors from all over, but unless they
already knew about Café Zoot they wouldn’t have even known we were there! The one-way system
had made Café Zoot, The White Hart, The Ice Cream Parlour, Bailgate Kitchens and Watsons into a
‘no mans land’, people had no reason to walk past us, this destroyed our trade.
At times I am aware that the restrictions were up lifted, this still did not benefit Café Zoot or our
neighbours as the area was still completely blocked off to come up past tourist information.
The one-way route was ridiculous, it was far too long, people could not re-visit a stall, shop or
restaurant unless they went round the system again, which was highly unlikely.
I am at a considerably loss on previous years takings due to the one-way system enforced. The
restaurant is busier in a normal week than it was during the Christmas Market. A lot of hard work
and effort goes into preparing for this event and it was extremely disappointing.
Last years Christmas Market did not benefit the majority of businesses in the Bailgate and Steep hill
area at all! We have been in a challenging economic climate; people do not have the disposable
income they used to have.
Stall holders only have to pay for the few days when the market is on, but we pay expensive rates
every year and support local organisations like Lincoln Big. The Council should support local
businesses in the area, but they do not recognize this when organizing the Christmas Market.
It should benefit everyone, not try and put people out of business!

Brand new
offices on
council portfolio
The latest addition to the county
council’s commercial property
portfolio, is set to open shortly
(late February 2013) and will provide an ideal location for up-andcoming businesses requiring an office in the centre of Lincoln.
Wyvern House located on the former Kesteven Street Coal Yard has
been positioned to give frontage to the planned new Lincoln East
West Link Road and will put the name of occupiers in the eye-line
of every user of this arterial route.
The building is named after the mythical beast the Wyvern, which
was the emblem of the Midland Railway whose Lincoln line
formerly ran through the site. In mythology the Wyvern is supposed
to represent strength and power, qualities we hope will be imparted
to those businesses that make the building their new home.
A total of 7 offices will be available ranging from 46 to139 sqm
(500 to 1500 sqft). Each unit provides a modern space, a shared
meeting space and parking. They also benefit from being close to
the train station and its direct link to London.
Councillor Eddy Poll, Executive Member for Economic
Development, said: “Whether you’re just starting out or looking to
expand, finding the right location for your business is a crucial step.
“That’s why the county council offers a wide range of business
accommodation across Lincolnshire.
“Our Select Lincolnshire team also holds a list of other commercial
properties available across the county.
“And it isn’t just the businesses themselves that benefit – councilrun business units have created 127 new jobs in Lincolnshire over
the last two years.”
Paul Wheatley Head of Regeneration at Lincolnshire County
Council, who project managed the development, added, “Wyvern
House represents the first public sector capital investment into this
part of the city for some time. We hope that with the construction
of the East West Link which is planned to follow, we will be laying
the foundations for a revival in the economic fortunes of this part
of Lincoln. In designing and constructing Wyvern House, we have
sought not only to create a quality building, but one which is
environmentally sustainable and helps improve the quality of the
local public realm”.
Wyvern House is expected to support 30 jobs. It will also help
occupier businesses minimise their running costs, by generating a
large proportion of the buildings energy requirements on site
(through solar PV arrays). Additional benefits for the wider
community are that it will create a new public square in place of
the current Sincil Dyke footpath ( between Kesteven Street and
Tentercroft Street).
The council currently runs industrial units and offices at 11
locations across the county.

AA Gill advises ‘Artists who
don’t practice the craft of their
art, or who hand it on to
someone else, are missing out of
what is right at the heart, the
great joy of making anything.
You shouldn’t just be a director
of art.’ Art students at Lincoln
Minster School undertake a
range and depth of study which
is praised by prestigious
universities and professionals.
Dedicated, specialist tutors,
inspirational facilities, technical masterclasses and intensive
support help students to stage their own exhibitions and
develop portfolios in Art, Graphics and Photography as separate
A-Level subjects.
LMS students have gone on to further study and careers in the
Arts with solid foundations and enthusiasm for their chosen
craft. As one parent recently said: ‘I am delighted that my
daughter studied at Minster. The nature, depth and quality of
the work she is undertaking far exceeds that of friends at her
previous school, and she absolutely loves life drawing.’

Roof Gallery Exhibition in Sleaford
Exciting new work
from two emerging
East Midlands’ artists
will feature in “The
National Centre
Presents ….The
Gallery Garden” an
exhibition at The
National Centre for
Craft & Design which ends on February 10th.
Unique kiln fused glass work by Stevie Davies will sit alongside
Bethany Walker’s now ‘signature’ and dynamic contrast of
textiles and concrete to create an installation show entitled
“The Gallery Garden”.
Curator Laura Mabbutt says: “We call out for artists to exhibit
their work each year in our Roof Gallery under the banner of
‘The National Centre Presents’ in order to offer them an
opportunity to gain further exposure of their practice as well as
a tool for exhibiting in a professional gallery. This year we were
so impressed by these two separate applications that we
encouraged the artists to work together on one exhibition.”
Both artists are inspired by the outdoors, both use textile
techniques in their own unique way fusing them into harder

larger installation pieces that used a gallery for its own space.
Stevie Davies is based in Derby and uses textile techniques
with wire to control, restrict or pressurise her glass whilst in
the kiln creating exciting forms as well as decorative
elements. Inspired by flowers and plants, Stevie wraps various
sections of glass hundreds of times with wire. The process of
wrapping wire by hand around chosen pieces of glass not
only creates decorative designs, but also constructs the
restrictive grid that forms and shapes the piece through
numerous firings.
Bethany Walker works in Arnold, Nottingham and uses, what
appears at first sight, an odd combination of concrete and
textiles to create beautiful and captivating pieces which
possess immense tactile
qualities. Her work
explores connections
and contrasts in the
urban environment –
things we all observe
daily but often overlook.
Endeavouring to break
new ground, Bethany is
pushing the boundaries
of contemporary textiles
- blurring design disciplines, breaking preconceptions and
traditionalist viewpoints to create pleasantly stunning pieces.

years in the making, The Belton
cheese company created this new
modern award-winning British
cheese. The cheese, which is
handmade at Belton Farm, uses a
unique recipe developed over many
years, along with carefully selected
cultures and the skill of the cheesemaker to produce an intense and
complex blend of sweet and savoury
distinctive flavours. It has a russet
colour and a wonderful rugged
mouth-feel with a hint of ‘crunch’, the
cheese has been developed through
watchful maturation and leaves the
palate with a lingering flavour and a
desire for more. For a great story, you
need great characters. So when Red Fox
was suggested, that was when
everything started to fall into place…For
many years a red fox had been standing
aloft the Belton farmhouse in the form of
a weather vane. The fox is also
represented on the Leicestershire coat of
arms. Leicester’s football team and the
county cricket team have embraced the
fox as their mascot. Furthermore the
smooth, cunning and clever
characteristics of the fox can be
attributed to this moreish cheese.
“Smooth” hints at its creamy texture,
whereas ‘cunning and clever’ refer to its
surprising contrast of creaminess with a
subtle crunch. Through a traditional
handmade process Belton Farm has
produced a thoroughly modern British
classic in Red Fox.

Joe Cooke & Frank Connell - still raising
funds for local Charities
LINCOLN CITY RADIO 103.6
When Joe and Frank learned that the local Community Radio station - Lincoln
City Radio, were involved with providing work experience for school children in
the area, they wanted to learn more of the project. It was found that a training
studio was required to involve the pupils further in the work of the station. They
would be able to record programmes and gain a certificate from Lincoln City
Radio showing their experience when they moved on to the world of work.
A room in the radio building became available but funds were not available for
the rent so the Cooke & Connell Fundraisers have agreed to cover the cost thus
investing in the future and making a further studio available to the volunteer
presenters. This studio is to be called “Studio 2 – The Cooke-Connell Room”

LINCOLN PROBUS CLUB
Joe and Frank went along to a meeting of the Lincoln Probus Club and talked
about their work in raising funds for local charities. They chatted about their
fundraising and some of the individuals and charities have benefitted. As a thank
you, the Lincoln Probus Club and Lincoln Ladies Probus Club made donations
that helped towards the meal for the homeless on Christmas Day.
CHRISTMAS DAY 2012
The Christmas day meal for the homeless was a great success thanks to the
services of Dave, who, once again was responsible for the cooking and our
willing volunteers who served the meal at Trinity United Reform Church on
Garmston Street. The day continued with a buffet at Mary le Wigford Church
Our very grateful thanks to all of you who contributed towards the produce,
helped prepare, cook, serve and assisted with the clearing up after the meal.
We are indebted to you and we certainly couldn’t do it without you.
SPONSORED HEADSHAVE
Frank has been busy with a further head shave this month! Will Nickell, a local

Andrew & Co LLP appoints
Chief Executive to lead its
strategic development
Leading local law firm, Andrew and Co LLP is gearing up for a
change at the top after announcing that Simon Smith becomes its
Chief Executive this month (7 January). At the same time, the
firm has put in place a new
management structure, which sees
Managing Partner Julie Bailey
assume a new role as the firm’s
Chairman.
Simon joins Andrew & Co with an
impressive track record of
achievement as a law firm leader
and in spearheading growth and
development. During a highly
Simon Smith and Julie Bailey.
successful decade at the helm of
Ashton KCJ, he led the expansion of the East Anglian law firm to
become a regional heavyweight with a £17 million turnover. It is
now the third largest firm in the region.
Simon says: “Andrew and Co was looking for someone to drive
its next phase of development. I was immediately attracted to the
firm, given its ambition to help clients succeed, its long established
reputation for high quality legal work and excellent list of both
commercial and individual clients. This background sets the firm
apart as a top class law firm with a great heritage.
Search launched to find
winner of Lincoln’s top
award
Lincoln’s star is rising and the city is keen to reflect
on its growing success by rewarding an outstanding
individual, organisation or company with its top
honour.
The search has begun to find the 2013 winner of
the magnificent Lincoln Civic Award – a striking
silver accolade which is crafted in the style of an
eight-sided obelisk and which stands 19 inches
high.
Excitingly, for the first time ever, people are being invited to use the
power of the internet and nominate potential winners by going online
and registering their nominations at www.lincoln.gov.uk/civic
52
Those who prefer can, of course, pick-up printed entry forms from
Ruddocks in High Street, Lincoln, and deliver completed entries to
City Hall, Lincoln, by post or in person.
This highly-coveted award celebrates the very best of traditional values
and contemporary design – and it is as eyecatching today as when it
was first commissioned.
Nominations for the Lincoln Civic Award should be made online or
you can post your nomination form to: The Civic & Executive
Office Manager, City of Lincoln Council, Beaumont Fee,
Lincoln, LN1 1DD.
The award will be presented in a special ceremony in the city’s
Guildhall.
“Julie has brought Andrew and Co to the point where it’s ideally
positioned to benefit from the Government’s drive to deregulate
the provision of legal services. A period of unprecedented change
in the legal sector lies ahead, with new patterns of ownership,
financing and service delivery opening up. This means that there
are major opportunities for law firms with progressive agendas
like Andrew and Co to further develop their strategies,” suggests
Simon.
“I’m looking forward to working with both the Lincoln and
Newark offices and further developing the value for money
services, and the means of delivering them, that our clients will
require. I’m fortunate to be stepping into this new role supported
by an excellent team.”
Up until now, Julie Bailey has been Andrew and Co’s Managing
Partner. She and fellow Partner Philip Armitage will continue on
the firm’s Management Board as governance is also changed, to
align the firm for a period of accelerated growth.
Julie says: “I’ve enjoyed my time as Managing Partner but am
delighted to be passing the baton to the very capable hands of
Simon as we build on the strategic decisions and progress we’ve
already made.
“Our move to purpose-built premises off the Lincoln ring road,
our adoption of audited Quality Standards and geographical
growth into Newark demonstrate our determination to be at the
forefront of legal services in our region,” says Julie, adding: “I’m
now looking forward to having more time to commit to our
family law service and developing it as part of the firm’s overall
strategy.”
Simon himself is no stranger to family law and built a high value
divorce practice during the 1980s and ‘90s. He spent 20 years as a
solicitor before becoming a full time Chief Executive. He was a
Board member of Lawnet, the UK’s leading law firm network for
many years. He is also a former County Councillor and member
of Court at Leicester University.
