The Village Meads by Andrew G Forrest
Artwork of the The Village in Meads Village
My name is Andrew Forrest, I am an Eastbourne artist and interested in The Village. This has led me to paint a new large version (22" x 28" including frame) of the village facing south-east in 2010/11 based on a photo I took while strolling in Meads 2005/6.

The medium is acrylic on Daler acrylic/oil board. The painting is framed in white and priced at £235.

I am interested in the historical origins of The Village and would be pleased to hear about its origins in the 1890's when it probably housed the Duke of Devonshire's farm workers.
The Back Gallery on my website has the first version of the painting.

The Belgravia Gallery in London.

Nelson Mandela and Charlie Mackesy ~ All Saints Chapel
Saturday 11th June from 10.00am to 4.00pm.


Throughout history few have left so indelible an imprint on the international stage as Nelson Mandela. His courage, compassion and humanity are among the qualities that have led to this Nobel laureate being recognised as the world's greatest living statesman. Nelson Mandela completed over 20 sketches that include images he found meaningful, both symbolically and emotionally, during the period of his incarceration on Robben Island.

Mandela’s work is strong and powerful, in both colour and composition. Unable to draw while in prison, the only paper available was used to smuggle messages to the outside world – Mr Mandela grasped this opportunity to express himself. As well as being available to view, the pictures will also be available to purchase in aid of The Nelson Mandela Trust, a fund for orphaned, homeless and HIV positive children.

Also on display are works by Charlie Mackesy who has had 35 one man exhibitions in New York, London and Edinburgh and his work features in many private collections and churches throughout the world. It would be accurate to say that a fair proportion of Charlie’s works have an angel or spiritual element to them but this has, apparently, come from a “quiet feeling... that there must be more to this than meets the eye”.

Charlie Mackesy’s works are hugely uplifting but will be particularly so in the physical context of All Saints Chapel.

Tickets to the Nelson Mandela and Charlie Mackesy exhibition are £8 (adults) and £6 (concessions) and available to purchase on the door.

The exhibition at All Saints Chapel is in collaboration with The Belgravia Gallery in London.
All Saints Chapel is available to hire for exhibitions, dinners, conferences and receptions.

Andrew G Forrest White Horse
The White Horse, Cuckmere Valley by Andrew G Forrest.
I am an artist living in Eastbourne, East Sussex, England. Eastbourne and its surrounding areas have inspiring picturesque views, many of which I have painted. These include the Fishing Station, with its old boats and Eastbourne Pier in the distance; Birling Gap (famous for its sunsets), and celebrated chalk figures in the neighbouring landscape - notably the Long Man at Wilmington and the White Horse in the Cuckmere Valley, near Seaford.
I work principally in acrylic and watercolor.
I have been selling my paintings and drawings since the late 1970s. My work is in private collections in the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, South Korea and the United States.
The White Horse, Cuckmere Valley This horse was cut into the chalk of Hindover Hill in 1924 and is now owned by the National Trust.

FLAT OWNERS DO YOU WANT TO EXTEND YOUR LEASE OR BUY YOUR FREEHOLD?
Many flats built or converted in the 1960’s and 1970’s may now have less than 50 or 60 years remaining on their leases. Lessees have the right to renew their lease, but costs rise once the term becomes less than 80 years. Flats may be difficult to sell or remortgage once they get below 65 years remaining.
Owners of flats (lessees) have the right to compel their freeholder to sell them the freehold at market price. This can help in cases of absentee landlords or poor management, although lessees also have the right to appoint their own managing agents.
With sale prices at relatively low levels, now is a good time to take advantage and seize the initiative. Whether you are a lessee or freeholder, professional valuation & legal advice is essential in this complex area.
For a preliminary discussion contact Mark McFadden at Stiles Harold Williams on 01323 437900
Or email MMcFadden@shw.co.uk
Mark is a local Chartered Surveyor, RICS Registered Valuer and member of the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners (ALEP) and experienced in providing valuation advice to both freeholders and lessees. Stiles Harold Williams can also provide management services to both residential and commercial clients.

Jane Montague Life Coach
LIFE COACH JANE MONTAGUE
As a nurse, therapist, yoga teacher and mother, I have over the years had the opportunity to support many kinds of people in different states of physical and mental health; as a single parent I have also had to develop coping skills to manage and maintain my own energy at home and at work.

It is good to be grateful to the many people throughout our lives who have shown us the way forward in challenging times but ultimately it is more empowering to know that we have always been responsible for who we are. Having received teachings and initiations with the Dalai Lama and training with Richard Bandler, Paul McKenna and Michael Neill, I consider that I have skills to help myself and pass onto others who feel blocked, fearful or just uninspired. The combination of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and my long time study of the Buddhist Dharma have provided me with a valuable foundation for supporting others holistically, i.e. recognising the body, mind and soul.
peace of mind
I might use meditation and breathing techniques to quieten the over-stimulated mind, allowing the body to rest in the present moment in order to restore its energy. I could also use image making or clay work if preferred.
cultivating abundance
Learning techniques for attracting more positive energy and working on the idea that happiness fosters success rather than the other way round.
overcoming fears and phobias
Using methods to understand the catalyst for and identify the body’s response to negative emotions and how best to control the physical symptoms by building up more positive, supportive habits.

My name is David Arnell and I run The Helping Hand Company.

Hello Meads residents.
My name is David Arnell and I run 'The Helping Hand Company'. Whilst it may sound large, The Helping Hand Company is a small locally based firm in lower Meads offering 'Handy Man Services', I am the handyman and in the main I work alone unless what I am asked to do involves specialist plumbers or electricians.
For the past 8 years I have worked in the Meads and across Eastbourne providing painting and decorating services including wallpaper hanging, carpentry and numerous other maintenance works to a delighted and satisfied list of customers. Many clients come back to me regularly. Things that I am called upon to do most often include putting up shelves, fixing kitchen doors and kitchen draws with collapsing bottoms!, putting up curtain rails, tracks and poles, changing toilet seats, shaving the bottom off doors to accomodate new carpeting, painting rooms or complete houses and flats etc. I cannot list everything here but am sure you get the idea!
For some years I have been a member of the East Sussex County Council's 'Buy with Confidence' scheme. This scheme has been set up by the Trading Standards division of the Council to help put a stop to cowboy traders. It provides Trading Standards approved status to businesses who meet certain criteria.
Councillor Rupert Simmons. Chairman of East Sussex County Council describes the scheme as follows.
"The Buy with Confidence scheme is run with great creative imagination and is particularly showing its value as the economic downturn puts pressure on all of our citizens - it is crucial to be able to have confidence in a company to carry out important work. The knowledge that a company with such a logo has been thoroughly scrutinised inspires confidence, and is a guarantee of professional competence and integrity".
So if you need an approved and trusted handyman, please call me, I will be happy to visit you to discuss your requirements and provide advice if required and a written estimate to carry out the work you need doing to an excellent standard absolutely free of charge and without obligation.

toni at secondsight would like to thank the few devoted customers who have enabled her to continue with her vintage fashion fusion mission here in meads, however there is no longer just enough interest to make it worth while continuing.

i am therefore closing the shop, on what will be my 10th anniversary exactly ,the 31st march 2011, it seems an appropriate time to retire. i will be in and out of the shop until then, and
my clearance sale will continue , its just that i wont be there regularly anymore. appointments can be made for costume hire,which is still possible, and any enquiries about my vintage collection, or the shop in general, please call me anytime, you will find my number on the shop.

all customer commissions will be paid, and the few customer items that remain uncollected will go to marie curie cancer charity at the end of march.

if anyone can help me with transport or storage of my 4000 items, cheaply or free, please let me know, and if you are interested in the shop i have the BEST landlord so again please let me know. there is also an opportunity to buy the whole contents, at a price to be discussed. its been fun, and once again thanks to all who have supported me,

toni

Consultations on the development of Devonshire Park.

The readers of this news site should well be interested in knowing that the Council have a meeting open to all on Wednesday 26th January at 1.30pm at the Wintergardens to launch/discuss the new initiative for the redevelopment of Devonshire Park for the 21st Century.
This is the very start of the procedure to plan for the future of the Park.
Eastbourne is a beautiful town and the Meads parish arguably the most pleasant of all.
I urge all Meads residents to take the opportunity to take an interest in shaping the plans, come along and take part, and voice their opinions so they are taken on board immediately.
Let's keep this town beautiful by voicing our care.
