Gig on the Green 2014 The Gig on the Green may be one of Yateleyrsquos newer traditions - but itrsquos turned out to be incredibly popular and thanks to the Yateley Sports CIC this yearrsquos show promises to once again rise to the occasion

With the first gig debuting in just 2010 it has since become a hub for the Yateley community to gather every year and enjoy a day of music dancing comedy and fun right in our own back garden

But it doesnrsquot just stop there - every year we see hundreds of Yateley residents gather together on our iconic green not just for fun but to support and encourage emerging local talent From the youngest residents up to the oldest all are united in their love for inflatable slides community spirit and local musical talent Gig on the Green encourages all ages and abilities to get involved and there are 2 main sections that really get us excited

Y Factor

Every year the folks behind Gig on the Green hold auditions for the aspiring young singers of Yateley The Gig on the Green gives them a chance to shine and encourages their growing talent and we have had many youngsters pursue promising music careers because of the boost performing on the stage gave them Most notable of these is Alexa Goddard who has since been signed to a major record label

There are 3 age categories for Y factor and the winners of each category are given the chance to perform at the Gig on the Green 2014 Auditions for this year have just taken place with the winners of the categories still to be announced so watch this space

Yateley Unplugged

The Yateley Unplugged stage is aimed at the more mature residents of Yateley showcasing a number of over 18rsquos and older local bands This gives them a great chance to perform live in front of a captive and supportive audience and maybe even break into the big time with their acts


Last Yearrsquos Show

Last year we were blown away by a huge line up of fantastic acts - including tribute acts The Rollinrsquo Clones Quo-incidence and Abba Fever an amazing selection of the youngest local talent performing onstage for the first time and even a wildly popular performance of show tune numbers from the musical Grease

We saw the largest number of visitors flock to the green to see the show and we expect even more to come out and show their support this year

This Yearrsquos Show

The line up for this yearrsquos show is still mostly cloaked in mystery with only a few acts revealed for us so far including incredible tribute acts Green-ish Day and Only One Direction and a breathtaking performance will be given by An Evening of Dirty Dancing The Tribute Show

Clear your calendar for the 28th of June and get yourself down to the Green for the biggest Yateley event of the year

A Word in Your Ear From the MayorWe capture a few words from the generous founder of Vision 4 Yateley and Mayor of Yateley Gerald Crisp about his life in office

What inspired you to become mayor

The desire to become mayor only occurred after I was approached to stand as Mayor My first reaction was to decline because I was relatively new as a town councillor and not particularly drawn to being just a ceremonial figurehead But I went away and thought about it and on further consideration I felt that in the role of Mayor I could serve in a unique roll on behalf of the town This would give the office more opportunities to connect fully within the community This idea established itself within what I called lsquoThe Mayors Projectrsquo which would seek to develop and grow closer relationships within the many organisations that contribute to our community life which would them grow over time to become a Community Partnership serving every area of life within Yateley


Can you describe your mayoral journey

In looking to achieve the community partnership above I began by focussing in two areas The first was within the business community and was launched last month as a local business consortium This started as a consequence of my Mayor Walkabout with visiting all our local retailers and businesses Following on from my introductory visits I found a very positive response with a desire to meet up with fellow businesses for mutual support and to share and learn from one another

The other focus was to form a charity lsquoVision for Youthrsquo to develop a Dedicated Youth Centre which would provide our youngsters with a lsquoHappy Daysrsquo type club to call their own This would also include the opening of a community cafe on the village green for day time use primarily for mums and toddlers using the village playground and play-school The cafe would then be used as a coffee club in the evening for our young community This would also serve as a second chance to meet the Needs of our Needs being school leavers lsquono longer in education employment or trainingrsquo This would give them an opportunity primarily in catering alongside experience in how to run a business This project will cost the charity in the region of pound200000 so as Mayor I will be supporting V4Y as my charity I will also be looking to fundraise within the community to reach our goal and fulfil this vision for the youth of Yateley

What are your best memories as mayor so far

My favourite memories in my time are numerous but if I had to choose one then it would be the opening of Fruition Central above a parade of shops as a temporary youth centre on a short term lease which I opened jointly with a TOWIE celeb This followed over 30 years of waiting for a specialised youth club of their own Until we build their club on the green which we hope will open in the Spring of 2015 this is theirs

Whatrsquos your favourite Yateley event

My favourite Yateley event has to be the huge success of Gig on the Green now entering its fourth year next month of which the money raised has given the opportunity for the purchase of Sean Deveraux park from Cemex for the benefit of Sport in Yateley


A Taste of Local Music - Dig those Fabulous FlutesFlute Salad started out as a group of youngsters playing their flutes in Louise Raynerrsquos living room for fun and 8 years later here they are bigger and better than ever

This lively bunch get together every week to laugh joke and celebrate their unifying passion - music Playing a range of music that varies from Mozart to the Muppets the group has flourished to over 30 students - they even played at Louisersquos wedding

Louise now runs 3 different flute groups and a fledgling saxophone group They donrsquot just play covers either - a lot of their music has been arranged by Louise or other members of the flute choir to give it a more personal touchlsquoWersquore not just about the music Itrsquos a place where children can come and socialise and mix with children they wouldnrsquot normally meet on common groundrsquo


Flute Salad plays regularly at festivals and concerts quite often bringing both tears and laughter with their incredible music A vibrant and lively group itrsquos clear within seconds that these children love what they do

Both the flutes and the saxes are always looking for enthusiastic new members with a love for music There are 3 age groups and all abilities to chose from so there is something for everyone With Fresh Fruit Salad as a beginners section Flute Salad for intermediates and Flute Cocktail for the more advanced players it doesnrsquot matter if yoursquove been playing for years or only just started learning to play- rock up and enjoy the atmosphere

Louise is currently looking for more lively players to join her saxophone group - Smartphones Having spent a delightful session with them this week I can safely say they are great fun and produce fantastic music - a real group to look out for in future The group meets on Saturday mornings between 1030 and 1130 at Yateley School and always welcome new players

For more information on any of the groups contact Louise on 07971260579 or email lour13talktalknet

A Caterers Journey It all began with a bet

In 1996 Tilsmerersquos founder Kathryn had a bet with a local media representative David Chubb David was sponsoring lunch for some local GPrsquos and Kathryn bet him she could cook a two course hot meal for less money than he would spend buying cold pre-packaged food at the supermarket She won the bet and has never looked back - she even still cooks for those same GPrsquos every week

At the time Kathryn was working as a home economics and catering teacher at our own Yateley Secondary school where she taught countless young people how to prepare home cooked healthy meals over the course of her 20 year career Kathryn then decided to put what she was teaching into practice and so Tilsmere Catering was born

Since then Tilsmere has become a member of the family Kathrynrsquos husband Ross and their three daughters have all been involved as the business grew As a family of foodies they all enjoy developing and testing new recipes and


experimenting with new flavors

Tilsmere specialise in delivering high quality food that looks stunning and tastes even better Decades of experience in food science and experimentation have ensured that they always rise to meet any challenge - including weddings birthdays funerals and even a 5 day (and night) stint of cooking high class meals for the British Army at Sandhurst Catering for any allergy or requirement Tilsmere are the best and most affordable caterer around

Kathryn has also taken some time out to travel - visiting Hong Kong Singapore Australia and New Zealand to collect new and exciting recipes to test and adapt These have all made it onto the menu and even into her latest culinary achievement - becoming a published food writer

Her most recent success has been the launch of her very own recipe e-book now available to download from the ITunes store Inside you can find over 50 delicious recipes from all around the globe - showcasing the family favorites and the signature dishes that have defined Tilsmerersquos quality and service over the years

Where is my Prints CharmingSelf professed lsquolocal girlrsquo and business owner Hana Laurie has kindly agreed to share her story with us this month Taking control from a young age we see how she shook off the 9-5 and became her own boss

My name is Hana Laurie and Prints Charming is my right-hand-man I have been working as a wedding and events photographer for a few years through uni and since graduating in 2011 Irsquove been putting on photobooths in some incarnation or another What started off as just a curtain camera and a large monitor has come a long way since then Allow me to rewind a bit

Back before the Millennium I was a small bright eyed child with no direction or aspirations to what Irsquod be ldquowhen I grow uprdquo I attended Yateley School for the first time in the September of 1999 and began to shape my interests in music creativity and people Being a moderately academic person I did well at Yateley and really enjoyed the five years I spent there Living in Sandhurst but having all of my friends in Yateley meant that it has always been a great social place for me I also worked in The Cricketers for around 7 years

From school I moved to Farnborough 6th Form to study Photography I was 16 and found that my love of art could be expressed so much more freely with a camera rather than my clunky inelegant drawing I was hooked and it became a subject that drove me through University in Southampton and enabled numerous career opportunities ndash all of which I am following with gusto


Therersquos no real secret to success There are certainly a few things you need and I wonrsquot deny that one of them is just plain good luck You can have the best business planfundingideaexecutionenthusiasm and skills going but if yoursquore just plain unlucky then it can all go pear shaped That being said luck isnrsquot going to get you very far on its own either

Things have changed a lot Our parents will tell us that and even those who have older siblings are being told how different things are in an even smaller amount of time We are no longer in the era where loyalty to a business is expected In 2014 wersquore experiencing fast moving businesses trends and technologies and you need to be extremely flexible and up to date to keep up

I spent a year in an office job after graduating from Uni and found it really stifled my creativity It was a good job with good pay and good benefits It was in Basingstoke too so the journey wasnrsquot badhellip but it still just didnrsquot cut it for me I wanted more I approached my Dad with a business plan and together we purchased Prints Charming ndash the photobooth that was going to change everything For 18 months now I have been successfully running the business alongside working part time in a pub and also as a weddingeventsfamily photographer Keeping the Prints running requires organisation and planning - I need to be aware of what Irsquom doing but crucially what other


people are up to as well It requires a huge amount of work and even more determination to make sure that yoursquore professional delivering the service yoursquove advertised and unfortunately keeping on top of your tax return

There are so many other things involved in being successful in working for yourself but from what Irsquove learnt being a local business owner is therersquos nothing like having the right work ethic and having many strings to your bow If yoursquore young in Yateley at the moment know that the whole world is at your fingertips and be aware of the almost unending opportunities available to you should you want to take them Life can be incredibly exciting and rewarding if yoursquore doing something you love ndash just be aware that it often means doing it 7 days a week

My current employment sees me running the Photography and Photobooth businesses and working part-time at The Greyhound in Finchampstead Irsquove recently added A Level Lecturing in Photography to my roster of jobs and also train in British Sign Language and a Diploma in Teaching If you think you have another project for me or any photographic requirements ndash then the best way to get something done is to ask a busy person

Your Planning is in Safe HandsLet us be the first to welcome an exciting new business in Yateley and introduce Jason Dalton owner and founder of Safe Hands Events

Jason has lived in Yateley for the last nine years with his partner and their beautiful British Bulldog Ethel After spending many years in banking and bookkeeping Jason has decided to strike out in a completely different direction - event planning

The idea for the business first started back in 2011 when Jason found himself planning his own wedding After organising a beautiful day that went off without a hitch he has been helping friends organise hen nights stag dorsquos and parties - and so Safe Hands Events was born

We asked Jason to explain the process for us ldquoFirst the couple decides what they want for their wedding They come up with all the ideas which I can offer suggestions on if required Once theyrsquove decided they then have to find and buy these things - and thatrsquos where I focusrdquo

Jason went on to explain ldquoThen the hard work begins ndashfinding what they want is down to me while they carry on with their busy lives My service is to research and find suitable and available suppliers review each company to check the quality of their offerings and present a range of options to the couple I keep to their budget save them time and it means they can have the wedding of their dreams without all the stress The couple make all the decisions so their day is their personal choice and they can relax safe in the knowledge their plans are in safe handsrdquo

But Safe Hands isnrsquot about a complete planning package After talking to a lot of couples about what stops them using a wedding planner Jason found they came up with two reasons - cost and creativity They all felt that they could make the decisions for their wedding and didnrsquot need much help with that but they ran out of time to actually implement them Jason now prefers to call himself lsquothe dating agency of wedding planningrsquo working in the supplier and procurement area to connect the couples with the services and supplies they need


lsquoI donrsquot want to take away your day and plan it all for you My service is designed to let you make the creative decisions and Irsquoll help you source what you need quickly and at the best possible pricersquo

Wedding planning is a 3 stage process - the first part is the creative decisions the design colour schemes and so on The next stage is sourcing and procurement and this is where most couples need a little help cue Jason The third stage is usually taken care of by the venue - making sure the day runs smoothly for you

Instead of having a fixed package for everything Safe Hands Events offers a flexible service which lets you build your own wedding making use of Jasonrsquos knowledge and connections where you want to Jason will step in for advice and help when you need him but still lets you keep control of your special day like a pay-as-you-go wedding planner

Jason was very excited to advise prices which he feels make his service perfect for ANY couple who want help with ideas and need to find extra time to achieve it Starting at only pound59 packages can be tailor made to suit your needs

For more information or to get in touch with Jason contact jasonsafehandseventscom - 01252 763123 - wwwsafehandseventscom
