Halfway Auctions has been chosen as one of the stops on the second series of the BBC’s Antique Road Trip. The series pairs Britain’s best loved antique experts and sends them on a nail-biting road trip across the UK. They’ll compete with each other to make the most money by buying and selling antiques.

Each expert will have a starting budget of £200. From this they will continually trade up so that they increase their profi ts every time they sell. Although competing as individuals the experts will be travelling in pairs.

After antique experts Thomas Plant and James Braxton visited the Halfway Auction sale of Wednesday 14th July 2010, the episode was aired on BBC 2 at 5.15pm on Friday the 27th January.

Phil Chester, who started up the business in June 2009 commented; ‘this is a great opportunity for us. We are very excited to be part of the series and incredibly proud to be putting Halfway

Auctions on the antiques road trip map. The crew and experts were great and it was a great evening had by all.”

SolarGrothe future in renewable energy

Guaranteed use your own electricity and still get paid to generate

electric

Guaranteed payment of 41.3p per kwh of electricity you produce

Guaranteed for the next 25 years

Guaranteed better return on your investment than in a savings

account

Guaranteed reduce your carbon foot print

Since April 2010 the government has announced the new “Feed-In-Tariffs” which means you will get a guaranteed payment of 41.3p per Kwh for any electric you produce from the solar panels guaranteed for the next 25 years whether you use it yourself or not! That’s right you can use all the electric yourself and still get paid to generate electric. What this means in the real world is if you in invest in the region of £7700 into a solar system for your home, this will buy a 1.4Kwp system that will produce approximately 1200 Kwh per year (based on a southerly facing roof). Times this by 41.3p and that gives you a yearly income tax free of £495.60 indexed linked, plus it will save you buying 1200kwh from an electric supplier, saving you another £168.00 (based on you buying at 14p per unit). Not only that, but in addition the utility company will assume you export 50% of your generation which will give you another £18 based on a export rate of 3p per unit!Total savings and payments per year is £681.60. Solar system is £7700/£681.60 which makes payback for the system in year 11, and you continue to earn another 14 years of £681.60 per year, which is £9542.40 tax free, rising over the years because its indexed linked.What are you waiting for?

Was the expression used by Richard Greenwood, local franchise owner of Ovenu, the UK’s premier oven valeting service. Bookings this year are showing a remarkable growth of around 50% on the corresponding period of 2010 and Richard puts this down to last year’s “new crop” of delighted clients now returning to the fold to have their annual spring clean.

There is no doubt that the warmer, longer days of early spring affect people in a positive way and the “valeting” of ovens, as Ovenu prefers to call it, has a particularly strong demand after the long winter we have just endured. The most loathed household chore is “music to the ears” of the highly trained, highly professional team of oven valeting technicians, setting about to restore the dirtiest ovens to a pristine level of cleanliness. The beauty of our service, Richard says, is that the householder just does not have the equipment nor the expertise to emulate our standards of cleanliness and whilst most fi rst timers to the service are keen to be given an assurance of value-for-money, their fears are soon allayed once the job is completed.One of the really good aspects of dealing with Ovenu is that the company website (www.ovenu.co.uk) has a short video which illustrates the cleaning process and that, coupled with the hundreds of testimonials from clients, is proving a very useful and persuasive tool.

The client base, Richard explains, is quite varied although the typical client tends to be the retired person who perhaps no longer has the energy, mobility or resolve  to clean their own oven. Or people with young families who don’t have much time on their hands. Or again people who want to use their leisure time in better ways than tackling their dirty ovens.

A large proportion of Richard’s team is family related with all of them living in the locality. People still like to feel they are dealing with local businesses and local people and whilst the team covers all of West Yorkshire, the main emphasis is to service the local need.

The business should see around 2500 ovens being cleaned this year but the forecast is to double this fi gure within the next two to three years on the basis that the majority of all new clients will re-book within a twelve to eighteen months period. “Interesting times “ Indeed!

Look at your home through the eyes of a burglar. If you can get in without keys then so can a burglar. No forced entry is used in approximately one in four burglaries.

• Always secure your doors and windows whenever possible. • Outside lighting will make your home less appealing to burglars

and draw attention to anyone breaking in. • In your absence from home give the impression that it is

occupied by using timer switches on internal lights and perhaps leaving a radio on.

• Check any security you have has passed attack test standards. There are a range of doors, windows, locks and other security items that are available. Seek the advice of your local Crime Reduction Offi cer.

• Review your security at least every 12 months. Does it need updating? Are you complying with basic crime reduction advice?

Garden Wise

Burglary of garden sheds and theft of garden equipment is one of the fastest growing crimes in the country. Your garden furniture and tools are very saleable items so you must make it as diffi cult as possible for any would be thief to get to your property.

• Good locks should be fi tted to shed doors and windows, always use them.

• Purchase a shed/garage alarm – available at most DIY stores.• Postcode your property with either an ultra violet pen, permanent

marker or by scratching on the details. • Remember to lock all doors and windows when out in the

garden, do not make it easy for sneak in thieves. • Detail any particular identifi cation marks on your property

including damage marks. • Equipment should never be left unattended.

• Expensive or unusual items of equipment or garden ornaments should be photographed.

• Walls, fences and gates should always be kept in good condition. • Illuminate dark areas of your garden where possible. • Screens for thieves to work behind should be avoided, keep

hedges, shrubs and large plants cut back.• Plant bushes with thorns, especially under windows.• Gravel pathways or gravel under windows prevent a silent

approach.• Neighbourhood Watch would be very benefi cial, why not join

one in your area or set one up if one doesn’t already exist.

Holidays

As we are approaching the main holiday periods it is worth remembering that the local Neighbourhood Policing Team has initiated a Temporary Unoccupied Scheme (TUH).

• All you need to do is to complete a form which is available by calling into Eccleshill police station, emailing or visiting the Neighbourhood Policing website (details below).

• We will, whenever possible, visit your home whilst you are away to check all is in order.

For all emergencies (where life is in danger or a crimes is in progress)

Riverford offers organic Fairtrade pineapple to coincide with Fairtrade Fortnight

Organic vegbox company Riverford were offering customers organic Fairtrade pineapple to coincide with Fairtrade Fortnight (28 February-13 March 2011). As well as providing something exotic and tasty for its customers, this will make a real difference to the lives of the African growers.

The pineapple, from Togo in West Africa, is grown by a group of farmers who are paid a fair wage and given a guaranteed market for their produce. This helps the farmers; boosting their income and getting their children back into local schools.

“We believe in treating our growers and suppliers fairly, whether they are in the UK or

overseas,” says Andrew Wilson, who delivers Riverford boxes in the West Yorkshire Area area. “We’re very excited about selling this pineapple; it’s incredibly sweet and has zero air miles, as we never air freight any of our produce. By buying it, you can make a real difference to the lives of the African growers and their families.”

Riverford also offers organic Fairtrade bananas alongside its vegboxes. The bananas are grown by a group of farmers in the Dominican Republic.

To see Riverford founder Guy Watson’s trip to visit the pineapple growers in Togo, see www.riverford.co.uk/about_us/fair_trade

To celebrate Fairtrade fruit at its tastiest best, try Riverford’s Fairtrade Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipe.
