The Crowborough Magazine • January/February 2018

Note from the Editor... Dear Readers, Happy New Year! I hope you’ve managed to enjoy the festive season as much as possible and are now looking forward to what 2018 has in store. I’m always planning my year ahead over the Christmas period and setting myself goals. I also enjoy looking back at the highlights from the previous year and the most memorable one for me was when I was nominated as the media spokesperson for the Edenbridge Bonfire Society. It was certainly a new experience to be speaking in front of the TV cameras (I’m used to radio as I have my own weekly show) and it did take some getting used to but by the end I really was enjoying myself. I certainly hope I get the opportunity again this year. Well done to everyone involved in the 2017 Bonfire event - the fireworks were impressive and the parade a joy to watch. Of course the team at Crowborough Cabs had their annual float in the parade - I enjoy the close relationship between the two towns where I run my magazines. One of the advantages of being the editor of this magazine is I often get to hear from new businesses in the area. I was fascinated to hear about the new furniture shop that opened in July 2017 in Walshes Road, TransFunk Furniture. I met up with owners Rich and Alexa to see for myself what they were doing and ended up purchasing a magnificent hat/coat stand which is now my pride and joy. You can read more about them on page 28 and they are also giving readers a fantastic 15% off you make a purchase before the end of February 2018. It’s well worth a visit as there is so much packed into the shop. Don’t forget to keep your submissions coming in for features for 2018. If you would like a feature about your group or organisation, it’s easy to do. You can either submit your own text and photos or I can put something together for you. All the features that appear in this magazine also have their own dedicated page on the website. It’s a great way to let the local community know about your group and of course to build your membership. 10 | www.crowborough-magazine.co.uk • info@crowborough-magazine.co.uk • 01732 864 878

News from the Community Crowborough and District Lions Club four new members and we would love to emulate that achievement this year, and if you UPDATE “Now is the time to plan for the year ahead. First of all a Happy New Year and we hope that 2018 will bring health and happiness to you all. After the hectic Christmas period, which is so important for our fundraising activities, it is time for the members to take a breather. However, these cold and dark, short winter days will be brightened in January by our social Quiz’n’Chips event which, as a forerunner to the main fundraiser ‘The Big Quiz’ on 10 March, is always eagerly anticipated by the members. It is not known whether last year’s winners will be defending their title but the competition is sure to be fierce. Now is the time to plan for the year ahead and we have already drawn up the rotas for our weekly bookstall attendance and for the table duties at the Age Concern and Darby & Joan luncheon clubs. Do come and visit our bookstall outside the Post Office in Croft Road, we receive new books every week and our latest news is always available from the members. In the coming weeks we will be planning our fairs and fêtes attendance and if you would like us to support your event please contact us. During the past year we successfully recruited

Gardening has been shown to improve both physical and mental-well-being. It brings us closer to nature and has obvious social benefits. Gardening sessions restart for 2018 on Monday 5th March.

The Crowborough Magazine attracts both large and small businesses who want to promote their services locally, with costs kept low to offer excellent value advertising. Smaller businesses, especially those without a ‘shop front’, can promote their services in a quality publication to the people who want to use them.

There are some great reasons to give it a go! Targeted audience: The magazine is delivered to over 11,000 homes and businesses in the TN6 area by Royal Mail every other month. Great value: Prices are kept low so that small businesses can make the most of their advertising budget and appear over a number of issues. It’s a fact that a sustained campaign works better at increasing sales than a one-off advert. All advertisers featured in each issue are listed on the magazine’s website - www.crowborough-magazine.co.uk - giving your business even more exposure. Good Service: From your initial enquiry, we will help you choose the best advertising package for your business according to your budget. We will make sure you have an eye-catching advert with a clear message about your business. Results: We want your advertising to work for you and we will do our best to make sure you get the most out of your campaign. About 80% of the businesses in this magazine are repeat advertisers!
