King’s High School in Warwick held their annual Art and DT exhibition at the end of the Summer Term displaying an impressive array of artwork. Principally a celebration of the achievements of King’s High external examination candidates, the exhibition also featured some ceramic work by younger pupils and pieces by artist in residence Beatrice Hoffman.

Visitors praised the high standard of work and variety of style on display which demonstrated the breadth of artistic talent in the school.

The artwork was judged by Tom Mitchell of the Mitchell Gallery in Warwick.    Sixth formers, Ally Pullen and Emily Bainbridge received the two top awards and were presented with especially commissioned glass sculptures by renowned glass sculptor Allister Malcolm.   They will now be given the chance to have work on show in the Church Street Gallery in Warwick.

The exhibition was housed in the newly refurbished Creative Arts Centre.   This £3.7 million development, opened by internationally acclaimed soprano Catherine Bott in December 2009, is the most recent addition to King’s High School.   A centre for artistic excellence, the development houses a stunning suite of performance and rehearsal rooms for music, dance and drama; classrooms, storerooms and offices; and  enhanced art and design and technology facilities.

If home is where the heart is the fireplace must be the soul.

From feature marble surrounds and wooden fireplaces to hole in the wall fires and woodburning stoves, the style you choose says a lot about you.

A central element of room designs, fireplaces can completely change the look of a lounge. But with so many designs, materials and fuel to choose from, the task of selecting the right one can be daunting.

Thankfully, The Heating Centre in Coventry can help.

Established 25 years ago, The Heating Centre is one of the most popular fireplace showrooms in the Midlands, with customers travelling from far afield to take advantage of the competitive prices and sheer range on offer.

Whether you are looking for gas electric or solid fuel, we are confident that we have the best range at the best prices.

Offering a complete service, from initial inquiry through to installation, our friendly and knowledgeable staff can help you through the maze of what’s on offer and give you expert advice.

Located in Spon End, The Heating Centre is ideally situated for customers in Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Stratford Upon Avon and The Cotswolds as well as Solihull which is only 20 minutes away.

Visit our bright showroom and you will be amazed at what we have to offer. Boasting 2 floors of fireplaces, we have a fantastic choice of nearly 200 modern and traditional designs to suit all budgets.

Many of the fireplaces are “live” displays with working fires, which show exactly how they will look in your home.

The Heating Centre is known for its friendly and relaxed atmosphere, with staff who are on hand to advise – not to pressure you into buying – making a visit to the showroom a very pleasant shopping experience.

Since the majority of sales come from recommendations, this is a sure sign we are doing something right.

As you walk through the entrance you will see 3 stunning fireplaces in Marble Bathstone and solid oak. These are examples of fireplaces by ‘Acquisitions of London’ , Wessex Stone and Focus Fireplaces who are market leaders in their particular fields.

With top quality names such as these, you are assured of high calibre merchandise that you know will look absolutely stunning in the right setting.

Although the fireplace is still the most popular purchase among our customers, the desire to create more space within the living area has driven a huge rise in the number of hole in the wall fire sales.

And we are delighted to offer considerable expertise in the installation of these types of fire and hold a range of designs.

They can be installed in homes without chimneys using ‘balanced flue’ systems, which makes them very efficient – another important consideration in these days of increasing fuel prices.

Another burgeoning sector that is well catered for by the Heating Centre is solid fuel appliances.

Over the last few years, demand for these has rapidly increased, which has led us to expand our collection and we now have a dedicated solid fuel section that features a huge number of woodburning stoves and cassette fires, which are fitted as hole in the wall fires.

Take a look at the back of the showroom and you will see a stunning Wessex stone fireplace with a full inglenook and a Stovax woodburning stove. Absolutely beautiful to look at and functional, too.

You can see what is on offer online at www.theheatingcentre.co.uk or visit our showroom, which is open everyday except Sunday. Free parking is available on the front of the shop.

We look forward to giving you a warm welcome. The Heating Centre,  55 Spon End, Corner of  Hearsall Lane, Coventry, CV1 3HE

Arden House DENTAL launch new software to explain treatment via video

Arden House DENTAL is launching an innovative new software package called GURU for patients. The package visually shows them what treatment work needs doing, how it will happen and what the end result will look like all in video format that can also be emailed to their home computer.

GURU is a software package, fully integrated with existing systems in the practice so that treatment plans can be personalised to the individual patient.  Images, x-rays can be dropped into the software to explain what is required, allowing the dentist to create presentations showing the best possible treatments and options.  This all takes place whilst the patient is sat in the dentist chair.  The presentation can then be emailed to their home computer so that they can research the recommendations and share treatment decisions.

Ian Hazlem, founder of the Practice said: “This new system is a great way to show patients what needs doing and the potential end results. There are often a few options with dental treatment and for them to be able to visualise each one makes it so much easier to explain.  Then within the comfort of their own home they can make those all important decisions.  Patients have given us some great feedback on this new system.”

Patient Mr Kevin C from Cheltenham said; “Following  x-rays and consultation it was decided that I would have a tooth out and have an implant to replace it. Ian described the whole process and answered every question, often with an illustration from the many implants he has carried out. We hit several unforeseen issues but, throughout, Ian responded with a caring, methodical approach which reassured me and gave me confidence. My implant is now in place and is impossible to tell from a real tooth.”

Arden House DENTAL has always been a quality practice well known for being up to date and investing in the latest technology for the benefit of their patients.  They currently offer a number of services unique to the region such as same day crowns.

For further information on Arden House DENTAL centre for excellence, please visit www.ardenhouse.co.uk, the practice is located at 232 London Road, Charlton Kings, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL52 6HW Telephone: 01242 512444.

Harvest Festival by Karen Jones

Former Blur bassist Alex James is opening his farm and hosting Harvest, a weekend of the very best British food alongside a soundtrack of the finest bands around. Editor Karen Jones met him at his Cotswolds farm

There aren’t many people who could pull off a spectacular that combined the hedonistic elements of their former rock star life and their new, country-loving, cheese-making life.

But Alex James isn’t your normal, average Joe.

The former hellraising bassist-turned-Cotswold-landowner is looking forward to welcoming up to 10,000 people camping in his back yard when he hosts Harvest.

A family-oriented celebration of great music and superb British food, Harvest has been held at the Suffolk farm of Jimmy Doherty, star of the television programme The Farm, for the past two years.

This year, for the first time, a second food and music event is being staged simultaneously at Alex’s farm in Kingham, Oxfordshire.

Not only will there be top names from the world of food including Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Michelin star chef Richard Corrigan and restaurant critic Jay Rayner, music lovers will also be indulged with performances by The Kooks, who are headlining, The Feeling, Athlete and DJs Jo Whiley and Gilles Peterson among others.

Alex jumped at the chance to host the festival and was thrilled when The Kooks agreed to headline.

“We’re particularly honoured as it’s the band’s only festival appearance of the year and it’s an exclusive performance in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust,” he says, as he relaxes on his sofa. “I believe this festival is really unique, bringing together the ultimate combination of great food and great music.”

Using his contacts in the food and music industries, the father-of-five says no one needed to be persuaded about taking part.

“I am really glad that everyone I have asked has wanted to get involved, in fact I think I am more excited than the children,” he laughs, adding “absobloodylutely” when asked if he has been closely involved with the organisation of the weekend extravaganza.

The event, which takes place September 9th- 12th, will also raise valuable funds for charity, not only the Teenage Cancer Trust, but also the Helen and Douglas House, a local hospice for children with cancer.

The event is also supporting Commotion ’11, a local festival that will take over Harvest on the Friday evening to raise money for CLIC Sargeant.

While Alex is committed to joining the foodie set by displaying his award-winning range of cheeses, he hasn’t yet committed to joining his musician friends. “I don’t have any plans, but who knows,” he smiles. “Jay Rayner is quite a talented pianist maybe we could get together.”

Alex has lived on the 200- acre farm in the Cotswold countryside for the past eight years.

When he bought it, the farm was derelict and friends thought he was mad to take it on.

“It was owned by a local beekeeper and when he gave me the keys I felt as if I had bought the Marie Celeste,” he recalls. “But today it is great family home for my wife, five children and me.

“As for me, your ageing rocker, in the last eight years I have turned into this all-singing, all-dancing, cheese-making machine who is going to organise a music festival in his back yard.

“I had two options with the land: I could have chosen to make it an opera venue, but I chose this route and I am really excited about bringing the food and the music together.”

The fact that Harvest is family-focused is key to the event.

There are plenty of activities to keep youngsters amused, from Charlie and Lola and Opera Holland Park’s adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox to face painting, craft workshops, cookery lessons and even a school of rock where budding pop stars can pen a hit or jam with musicians.

“My children are looking forward to it and we are organising activities on the day to keep all the children happy,” he says.

“Music is a universal language, food is a universal language and the combination of the two is Harvest. “Eating with people creates harmony and this farm will be the perfect backdrop to enjoy good food and listen to great music. If you like food that goes ‘ping!’ when it’s ready, look away now.

“We’re not stuffy, we believe in good food for everyone, all of the time and this ethos is at the heart of Harvest.”

This will not be a festival with the usual variety of sub-standard fare to offer revellers.

There will be cookery demonstrations by Daylesford; cookery master classes; a farmers’ market and a Paxton and Whitfield cheese village.

Monty Don will be talking about his field to fork experiences, while TV chef, Rachel Allen will share her down-to-earth approach to food and Mark Hix, celebrated food writer and renowned restaurateur, will bring his magic with The Mark Hix, Champagne and Oyster Bar.

Festival goers will be waiting a long time, however, if they expect a surprise reunion of Blur, with Graham Coxon, Dave Rowntree and frontman Damon Albarn. “There are no plans for Blur, but never, say never,” he admits. “For the moment I am concentrating on my new life.”

Harvest takes place at Kingham, Oxfordshire, on September 9th – 12th, 2011. Adult tickets cost from £45 for day tickets to £105 for a weekend with camping; children’s tickets cost between £10.50 and £40, while under fives are admitted free for the whole festival. Weekend car parking costs £5. There are also boutique and VIP luxury packages that cost up to £750.

Adam Henson Brews Up New Business at The Farm by Jayne Howarth

He’s a farmer, businessman, television presenter and writer. Now he’s going into the business of brewing beer. Does Adam Henson ever stop?

The Countryfile presenter laughs, albeit nervously.

“It doesn’t feel like it,” he sighs. “There is a lot of plate juggling and, to be honest, some of them do wobble a bit.

“Luckily I surround myself with a fantastic team.”

Henson, aged 45, is largely considered the public face of farming.  The Cotswold farmer, who runs the rare breeds Cotswold Farm Park in Guiting Power, near Broadway, has spent the past ten years in front of the camera. Principally known for his farming slot on Countryfile, he has also presented Lambing Live for the past two years and On Your Farm.

To him, communication has been key to developing a better understanding of the farming  community.

“People want to know what’s happening in the countryside, to farming and food, so programmes such as Countryfile are hugely popular,” he says.

“I know the farming community love my bit on the programme because they feel I’m doing a lot to help British farming.

“It is something that was needed as there was a lot of bad press, from salmonella to BSE,  battery hens, foot and mouth and blue tongue. It meant farmers closed their doors to the public, but now much more is being done to open it up and show what we are doing.”

Dressed casually in trademark jeans and checked shirt, Henson admits that although he is a farmer first and foremost, he does love the television work. It is not surprising, considering the acting blood that runs through his veins.

His grandfather, Leslie Henson, was a well-known music hall comedian and actor, while his father, Joe Henson, who founded the Cotswold Farm Park in 1971 and was this year awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honour’s list for services to conservation, presented a TV programme with Angela Rippon and Phil Drabble.

His uncle Nicky Henson is also a director and actor and has appeared in more than 30 films, including Vera Drake, and  countless television shows such as Fawlty Towers.

“I love telling the stories; it’s in my bones,” he smiles. “I suppose I’ve always been a bit of a character, but I never dreamed I would be on TV.”

But although he may be one of the darlings of the TV world now, he says his priority has to be ensuring the survival of his 650 hectare farm.

For that reason, the Adam Henson brand is diversifying further and he is adding beer to his portfolio of interests.

Using the old malting Marisota barley, the 3.5% ABV pale ale will use Herefordshire hops, water from the Mendips.  Talks are ongoing as to which brewery will produce the beer, but Adam hopes it will go into production later this year or early 2012.

He is also looking at pressing oil seed rape, but he is coy about other products that are being developed as part of his empire.

“Farming is all about diversifying; it is key to survival. I’m no different from any other farmer in that respect,” he says. “I’m looking at opportunities that can add value''

NT Live: One Man, Two Guvnors

Thu 15 Sep 2011 6.45pm

In Richard Bean’s English version of Goldoni’s classic Italian comedy, sex, food and money are high on the agenda. James Corden returns to the National for the first time since The History Boys to play Francis.

Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood, now in Brighton to collect £6,000 from his fiancee’s dad. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who’s been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers.

Holed up at The Cricketers’ Arms, the permanently ravenous Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be re-united with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.

RCharity Art Auction by  Suzanne Barnes

The Cure Leukaemia Charity Art Event took place recently at No 11 Brindleyplace.

Cure Leukaemia is a charitable organisation whose invaluable research into the treatment of Leukaemia has helped many people. Cure Leukaemia’s aim is to fund research nurses, provide facilities for world class research and develop new clinical treatments and drugs for Leukaemia patients.

Suzanne Barnes, a recently appointed trustee of the charity, was asked to chair an Art Auction, and together with her committee took up the post with much gusto and with a passion to deliver an event that could out-do previous expectations and raise the profile and a  substantial amount of funding for the charity .

The Art Auction took on a new dimension with famed artists and celebrities clamouring to showcase their artwork and help in the fight against Leukaemia.  Held on the 8th floor in the fabulous new building in Brindleyplace, the sleek sophisticated surroundings were beautifully adorned with artwork from Sir Peter Blake, Julie de Bastion, Ronnie Wood, and even the Prime Minister, David Cameron, found some time to provide a simple sketch for the cause. Many local galleries supported the event, there were many donations from the artists of Number Nine the Gallery and Castle Galleries. Boasting Champagne and Canapes, courtesy of NUVO Bar, the bustling event hosted over 200 guests enthusiastically bidding whilst listening to the delectable jazz riffs of ‘The John Paul Guard Trio’

The bidding frenzy of the Main Auction brought the event to an end with many pleased attendees taking home fantastic pieces of art. The event raised in excess of £30k, the highest amount yet for any art event for the charity. The successful evening has raised expectations for what could be achieved for the next year.
