North Downs Hospital, part of Ramsay Health Care UK was proud to take part in fundraising for the Australian Bushfire Appeal on January 27th.
We decided to raffle unwanted Christmas gifts and held a cake sale to raise funds for those affected by the devastating fires that have swept across Australia.
As an Australian owned company, we felt it was important to do what we can to contribute to the relief fund.
Although the final total is yet unknown, we are hoping to reach £500.
There are over 30 Ramsay Health Care facilities across the country who all contributed to the fundraising event, and Head Office will match the amount of money raised with all the proceeds donated to the New South Wales Rural Fire Service and County Fire Authority in Victoria.
We are an inclusive community Radio Station broadcasting every day throughout the year, at the heart of the 22 towns and villages of Tandridge, serving the community and broadcasting to the wider world.
Ridge Radio began some years ago based opposite the ARC in Caterham on the Hill, and several moves later in 2018 we moved to a new studio at Soper Hall in Caterham Valley.
Tune in to hear a wide range of music genres, from pop to alternative and even some comedy classics. We also have a business show, chat shows and a sports show, meaning there is something here for everyone.
Payne & Co Estate Agents is extremely proud to have been appointed the sole agents for Tillingdown Park, a redevelopment of 16 stunning new houses, currently being built by ‘Asprey Homes’. Situated just off the A22 in Woldingham, Surrey, the land was in the ownership of Tillingdown Farm, a site which once housed an early Georgian manor house. From the 1970s until fairly recently it was used to stable and train racehorses.
Sitting in a recognised Area of Natural Beauty, Woldingham is a small village and civil parish with a rich history, which appears in the Domesday Book of 1086.
The three, four and five-bedroomed properties showcase a range of architectural styles and prices but all share the idyllic backdrop of the North Downs, the chalk hills that start at the Hog’s Back in Farnham and extend to the cliffs between Folkestone and Deal in Kent. Each has generous landscaped and turfed outside spaces, with an Indian sandstone paved patio at the rear of the house, and either a traditional or barn-style garage. The estate is served by an access road leading to the Caterham Bypass, as well as by several public footpaths.

Question:
I have a buy to let property and I understand there are changes coming in from April 2020, what do I need to know?
Answer:
There are a number of changes coming into effect from April 2020.
You will only be entitled to a 20% tax relief on your mortgage interest on residential properties. This does not apply if you have commercial property.
The main changes are relevant to capital gains tax when you sell the property or gift it.
The Miller Centre was opened in October 1977. The centre is a registered charity and was named after Dorothy Miller who was the founder of the Caterham Players in 1945. The centre hosts Caterham’s very own theatre which is very much a hidden gem within the community. It was originally a church followed by a school and finally became a day centre as well as a theatre.
So if you fancy watching a play, performing on stage, experiencing work in a live theatre environment or viewing a classic or recent film do pop along and see them!
Productions are held through the year and auditions are open to everyone however there are many opportunities available to those who would prefer not to be on stage. Lighting, sound, wardrobe, box office sales, set design and stage management are all roles available.
Last month one of the team and I were invited to Errols first Coffee & Creams ‘Food & Wine Tasting Evening’.
What surprised me the most was the incredible transformation of the Coffee Lounge into a Pop Up Restaurant which is where I sat and sampled the food and wine during the evening. Cappuccinos and pastries were soon forgotten as we were shown to our table!
The white drapes and lighting transformed the lounge creating a cosy place for diners to realx and the staff were articulate and paying particular attention to the customers needs and any last minute dietary revelations!
This is the number one question I get asked in class and 90% of the time it is simply that the ingredients are not at the same temperature especially the eggs.
So what has actually happened and why does this make the batter curdle?
The butter and sugar when creamed reach a fairly warm temperature as the friction of the beating warms the butter allowing it to expand and dissolve the grains of sugar incorporating air and making a lovely light cake. The eggs should be added gradually (I usually add them one at a time and beat each in well before adding another) if they are at the same temperature as the room they should blend in easily. If the eggs are cold (never use them straight from the fridge) they simply re-set the butter in the cold liquid of the egg making a porridge like mess. At this point most people add some flour to “soak up” the liquid.
Caterham WI has enjoyed another successful year of meetings full of fun, laughter and a wide range of activities from ceramic painting to belly dancing! Last week was their Annual Meeting where they appointed the committee for the year ahead. Sadly the current President Caroline Wallis is stepping down after a brilliant 3 years in charge. She will be succeeded by the new President Steph Couch who has been a member since the very first meeting in January 2015 when the queue for interested women of Caterham went out the door and into the car park! Steph said she 'is honoured to be taking over and carrying on Caroline's hard work and knows that her Great Grandma would be so proud of her!'
