Thousands of local people turned out on one of the hottest days of the year for an action

packed Epping Town Showa year after the event was cancelled due to bad weather. The event was formally opened by Eppings new Mayor, Councillor Will Breare-Hall. Family fun was very much at the fore with a number of free activities on offer. Dozens of local organisations were present including a number of local sports groups. There was a fun fair, arena events from Upper Clapton Rugby Club, Te-ashi Do Karate Club, Illusions Dance Academy, Academy Performing Arts, Rascals Theatre School, Coopersale Hall School Maypole Dancing Team, Ivy Chimneys Primary School Dancing Team and races and tug of war between 4th Epping Brownies and 4th Epping Cubs (Ash Pack). Music was provided by Epping Forest Band. Eighteen teams entered the charity wheelbarrow race, sponsored by DJ Hunt Property with wheelbarrows provided by Travis Perkins. A balloon release race by 414 Epping and North Weald Air Training Corps concluded the fun. The Town Show closed a successful 9 day Epping Festival which offered something for everyone.

Welcome from the Town Mayor Since the last edition of Talk About Epping weve enjoyed some glorious summer weather. After the seemingly relentless rain of last year, the many local events that have taken place over the past few weeks have been blessed with cloudless skies and blazing sunshine. I've had the pleasure of attending a number of them, and am full of admiration for those whose commitment to our community and helping others makes them a success. Two that stand out for me are the 'I Love Epping Day' and the Town Show. Large numbers of both Epping residents and visitors enjoyed a range of entertainment provided by talented local people, and they afforded an opportunity for everyone to learn more about the town and the impressive variety of clubs, societies and charities it is home to. Events such as these remind us how important the voluntary sector is so I encourage everyone who has a little time to spare to get involved in one of our many local groups and organisations.

Those that sign up for the service can expect to receive regular updates about the Town Councils work in serving the local community.

Annual canvass of electorsDid you ring, click or text in 2012? If you did, many thanks - you were one of over 15,000 households with no changes to their details which used the telephone, internet or text to confirm their electoral registration details. However, a further 20,000 households COULD have used the automated responses but didn't.

The annual canvass of electors will start on 1 October this year (slightly later than usual) so watch out for the form and deal with it as soon as it arrives. Ian Willett, EFDC's Electoral Registration Officer commented "In 2012 we introduced registration by telephone, internet and text. While I was pleased that many people did use the new automated responses, I was disappointed that more households, which could have, didn't give it a try. I would urge everyone, whose details are the same as last year, to use one of the automated responses. I tried it and it's really quick and easy to use. You also get confirmation of your registration rather than wondering if a form sent by post arrived in the office. The economics are simple. It costs 12p for an automated response whereas posting the form back costs the Council 28p return postage plus admin processing costs. Rather than having staff spending time on forms which could/should have been dealt with by internet, telephone or text they can concentrate on dealing with queries or processing forms which have changes to the details. This makes much better use of their time. This year, let's try and make registration by internet, telephone and text the norm for households with no changes. Another way to help the Council save on costs is to register as soon as you receive the form. Sending out reminders is a costly exercise especially where there are no changes to the details. People think that because their details are the same they don't have to register. Yes you do - you have to register by confirming your details every year." Electoral Services Office helpline: 01992 564411

Please, please, please register by internet, telephone or text if the details on the canvass form havent changed.

I love Epping Day Saturday 29th June 2013 Following a soaking wet I love Epping Day last year, this years event was soaked in sunshine! Eppings Mayor Will Breare-Hall opened the event and various local organisations and businesses had stalls in the high street including Girl Guiding

Epping, The Dream Factory and The Copped Hall Trust. Bands played on the piazza and singing was provided by the Epping Green based Community Gospel Choir and Funky Voices. Visitors enjoyed an open day at St Johns Church (which included a climb to the top of the tower where you could enjoy views of the surrounding area).

Farewell to St Johns School Saturday 6th July 2013 Thousands turned out on a very hot day to say Farewell to St Johns which will be replaced by the new Epping St Johns School building in September. The farewell event was organised by the schools PTA. Many students got the opportunity to spray paint their name onto the old school building before it is demolished. Former staff also visited the school. The event was officially opened by Epping Forest MP Eleanor Laing. RightHeadteacher Mr G Yerosimou with leaving cake.

Fraud Alert A sophisticated type of fraud is on the rise across Essex where people are telephoned by fraudsters claiming to be a police officer of from the bank. People are then tricked into revealing their pin and handing over their bank card a courier. There are simple steps you can take to avaoid falling victim to this type of crime : DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR PIN NUMBER. DO NOT GIVE YOUR BANK CARD TO A COURIER If you suspect you have fallen victim of fraud or someone has attempted to defraud you please dial Essex Police on 101. Burglary and Hot Weather This is just a brief reminder that the hot weather we are experiencing brings increased opportunity to the creeper burglar. There is a strong inclination to throw windows wide open in this weather and, because it is so hot at night, to leave those windows open when you go to bed. The burglar is aware of this and a summer rarely goes by when we dont record a number of burglaries where entry to houses has been gained in this way. In most cases it is OK to leave first floor windows open providing they are not above a flat roof or vulnerable in some other way but leaving ground floor windows open when you retire upstairs to bed is asking for trouble. Also be aware of the relief garden thief. He is the one that, while you are working in your front garden, goes in through your open back door and relieves you of your cash and valuables. Please keep these in mind as we go through summer.Tony Ellis ,Crime Prevention Officer ,Brentwood and Epping Forest Police District ,Tel.101

Grant Applications Council considers small grants to local organisations twice yearly. The deadline for applying for the next round is 29th November 2013. Please contact Epping Town Council for more details.

Epping MP backs care in the community Eleanor Laing was guest of honour at the official opening of Home Instead Senior Care Epping Forest, held on the 21st June at the Quaker House, Hemnall Street in Epping. The office is based on the 2nd Floor of High Street but to enable older clients and members of the community to join in the fun and celebra-tions, the event was held at the fully accessible Quaker House in Epping. Over 57 people attended in order to show their support for new owner, Victoria Rigby, whose company specialises in looking after older people in their own homes, they included Caregivers, clients and members of the local community. Victoria added, We had a really successful office opening celebration. I was delighted and touched by the support for Home Instead in Epping, in particular from Eleanor, who gave a lovely talk about how important care is in the local community and her personal experiences of finding care. In fact, she even spoke of carers who looked after her loved ones still being on her Christmas card list, so I know she genuinely understands what we do. Victoria continued I started the business in December and Im really proud of our fantastic team of caregivers who are actively chang-ing the face of ageing in Epping through their professional, com-passionate and caring natures. Building friendships is key, the relationship between caregiver and client is crucial to ensuring that clients feel safe and secure. Were really looking forward to supporting older people in the Epping community. Ensuring we do everything we can to enable them to stay at home for as long as possible, where they are happy and com-fortable. We want to give their fami-lies the freedom to relax in the knowledge that their loved ones are in excellent hands. For more information about the services pro-vided by Home Instead or about joining the team, please call 01992 666 777 or visit www.homeinstead.co.uk/eppingforest. Probus Cub of Epping Some sixty four members and their lady guests attended the Ep-ping Probus Ladies Summer Lunch at the Lindsey Street Com-munity Association (LSCA) premises on 19th June 2012. On arri-val, they were received by the Club President Edward Pinter pri-or to an excellent three course luncheon. Club Member John Batchelor then introduced the speaker Nick Anderson, a baker of local standing who once had a bakery business in Epping High Street and who, with his wife Jane, now runs the Mayfield Farm Bakery and School in Old Harlow. Nick explained that his family are from Devon, with the Dutch surname Vooght. The family came to London in 1912 to open the Hoxton Bakery in the East End where the business continues to this day. His grand father went to sea, as a baker, with the White Star Line sailing afar as Australia but eventually returning to help with the family business. The bakery was partly under-ground and continued baking bread during the blitz even when, on one occasion, the building above was ablaze. In those days it was the practice for housewives to cook the Sunday dinner in the bakers ovens for a nominal fee, possibly a slice of meat or a potato, a practice which still continues today in parts of the coun-try.

Following a course in Hotel Management at Colchester, he set up a bakery in a 200 year old cowshed (after suitable conversion) at Redbourne in Hertfordshire. Following the success of this business, Nick moved to the present site in Old Harlow to establish the Mayfield Bakery and School where he employs four full time bakers and sixteen support staff. He uses local ingredients in his products eg. flour from a local farmers and honey from Much Hadham. The School holds master classes for professionals and several well known London celebrities have attended. The busi-ness has received the Essex Best Bakery Award and the City of London Bakers Mark. Nick then demonstrated bread making by kneading some pre prepared dough and shaping loaves for baking; in reali-ty, it takes some three hours to produce a loaf of bread. Loaves can be prepared with a variety of flavours by mixing with various ingredients eg. Stilton cheese, beetroot and others. Finally Nick showed examples of bread from his bakery, which were then distributed among those present. Club member Ron Perryman then rose to propose a vote of thanks to Nick for his very interesting talk especially re-garding the early London connections of his family, and also the excellent presentation which had been most in-formative and educational. The meeting then accorded Nick a resounding round of applause. 4th Epping (St. Johns) Brownies Charity Run On Wednesday 26th June the 4th Epping Brownies participated in a sponsored charity run held at Stonards Hill Recreational Ground. The event was organised and lead on the night by former Brownie Kathrine Foy. Kathrine en-sured the 28 Brownies, and a few siblings, undertook fun warmed-up exercises prior to the start of the run. Many parents attended to help on the night with marshalling the course, recording the number of laps completed, or even ran themselves. The evening was rounded off with well deserved refreshments and a raffle. A fantastic 575.90p was raised for the Great Ormond Street Hospital .

Some 900 walkers painted Harlow pink and lit up Saturday night in flashing bunny ears for the sixth annual Midnight Walk and are on course to raise around 75,000 for St Clare Hospice. The hot balmy evening was only matched by the hot and barmy walkers who relished the chance to dress up in tutus, sparkly tops, fluorescent wigs and embrace the facepaints with gusto for a good cause. Even broken arms and legs - accidents before the night rather than during! - could not stop some walkers from taking part, choosing either a 5k or 10k walk along the streets, paths and subways of the town on a circular route that began and ended at the Water Gardens. But the high jinks and party atmosphere was halted for one minute before the 10.30pm start as 900 walkers acknowledged a moments silence in memory of all the people they were raising money for: the grandparents, the parents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, friends and work colleagues who had been touched by St Clare Hospice and its services over the years. With registrations, donations and sponsor money pledged, St Clare Hospice is confident it will receive around 62,500 but is confident that it will still reach its 75,000 target enough to run the entire Hastingwood Inpatient Unit for 19 days. Events fundraiser Grace Malek, who organised the event with the help of 100 volunteers, including 65 marshalls on the night, said: If every one of our walkers raised 65 in sponsorship, we will reach our 75k

target and that would make this year the most successful Midnight Walk to date. And, if we reach that amount, it will mean that since the Midnight

Walks began six years ago, walkers will have raised 1/2 million which would be incredible. Participants each received a goody bag containing their hot pink T shirt, water and snacks provided by the Water Gardens, and toiletries provided by Visionary Soap Company and Bayliss & Harding. Parkinsons UK Harlow and District Branch Last month, 30 of our members, with friends came on a visit to Southend with a fish and chip meal. A trip to the theatre added to the enjoyment. We get frequent visits from our Community Police Officers and they explain any issues awe may have in our area. Recently we had a workout session of laughter, yoga, with Jennifer Johnson. This was so refreshing and quite catching. We all went home with big smiles on our faces. In October we look forward to a speaker from the Essex Police Marine Unit. I am sure we shall here some interesting stories on this. Our club is rather unique in that we meet EVERY week on Wednesdays 11-3pm. A hairdressers, chiropodist, plus our Parkinsons Nurse are available to help and chat with us. We have members coming from across a wide area, Buckhurst Hill, Loughton, Epping, Nazeing, Ongar and of course Harlow. We would love to welcome you too! Our secretary Corinne Hall is on 07982 094194 or email Corinne.hall@sky.com. Our thanks also go to Epping Forest Transport Community Transport. We are now able to get a driver taking us both there to Potter Street and back!
