EXPRESS ADVERTISER BANBURY march.indd 3 06/03/2012 12:39
Hi there all, Over the past few months, since the launch of this Banbury edition, we have been perfecting our distribution areas. This means that some of you last month had this magazine for the first time and this issue, we can add Ratley and Edgehill to the list - so residents here will have this edition landing on their doormats too.
So many new advertisers this month by chance, when I was out about visiting a new client, I was totally intrigued to learn that they kept ‘spend’ ex-battery hens - rescued from the slaughter house and living a natural life in the garden. It certainly captured my heart, and after much thought (taking on hens should not be taken on lightly!), I contacted the British Hens Welfare Trust to reserve 5 ex-batts myself! I have to say, I haven’t been so excited in years, (I live a simple life!). You will find an article about the Trust’s work within the pages of this magazine written by the founder of this wonderful organisation, Jane Howorth.
It is worth us all remembering the battery hens’ plight when we are next doing a shop and instead of buying ‘enriched’ or ‘caged hens’ eggs, buy free range variety instead!
Our Health & Lifestyle pages are looking extremely ‘healthy’ and Homes & Gardens comprehensive and full. You will find the start of a property section along with a recruitment classification in the back of the magazine. Need some inspiration in the kitchen? Pudding Pie has a tasty chicken recipe to impress the family. Did I just mention ‘chicken’? It must have slipped my mind (and fingers) to mention the term ‘free range’ too!
Enjoy the daffodils! Lisa

Now providing all types of
fencing servicesI can highly recommend the Express Press, both in terms of advertising with them and using their design and print service. I have regularly advertised in all of their editions, (which I first started six years ago in the Southam & Village edition) and receive a lot of enquiries from the adverts I place. They are both friendly and professional and a pleasure to work with. If you are in need of a boost to your business, give them a go!
Lorraine Day - LoveBallet
Dear EditorI just wanted to pass on my thanks to your lovely ads team who have been so friendly and professional since I started advertising with you. My last advert with you saw me welcome 89 new people in both my Slimming World groups held on Monday 7pm at the Rugby Workers Club, Oliver Street, Rugby and my group on a Tuesday morning 9.30am at The Graham Adams Centre, Southam and I’m still receiving calls from it. I can highly recommend you to not only my colleagues in Slimming World but to other Companies who wish to get a great result from advertising. It really does work.

NEW YEAR! NEW YOU? Are you keeping to your resolutions?
We can start the year with such good intentions and those intentions become dust as we struggle to achieve our goals without changing our way of thinking and being. But old habits die hard and until we change our thought patterns by challenging our own thinking and feelings about ourselves and our lives, many will find it impossible to bring about the changes needed to move on positively in life.
Some will find themselves dealing with daily strife, trapped in situations that feel beyond their control. Others will be experiencing being bullied by a work colleague or boss with the thought of returning to work after the New Year celebrations overwhelming
and impossible to contemplate.Christmas in particular brings families together, yet has the potential to be an incredibly difficult time for some. Christmas is a time of giving and receiving yet many will find themselves emotionally hurt by their partner or family and want to find a way out of the situation. Perhaps you feel that you know where you want to go in your life, but without a map of how to get there?
So we have closed another year of our lives, we open another door of opportunity in 2012 with Spring and new beginnings. This year presents us with the opportunity for change,growth and development in
which we can turn our attention to achieving our desires and making the most of life’s challenges. Talking through your difficulties and maybe finding a different route or a change in attitude will help you to cope with whatever is going on in your life and have a positive impact on your difficulties, a goal or resolution that you can take forward and achieve in the year ahead.

When in pain we often struggle on thinking it will get better on its own and often it does. However there are occasions when it drags on and this is when help is needed and osteopathy is your answer!
Osteopathy is a discipline that specialises in the understanding of how the body, and in particular the musculoskeletal system works and
interacts between all the different individual parts. Whether you think it is a nerve, joint or possibly a muscle injury as diagnosticians we will undertake a full medical case history and examination to establish the root cause and diagnosis of the problem. It is through our unique examination of the body and our specialist sense of touch that we can establish the particular problem areas and through techniques including mobilisation, articulation and massage return it back to good function and health.
Chestnut Osteopathic practice is a long established clinic conveniently based in Middleton Cheney and only 2 minutes from M40 Jn11. With experienced registered osteopaths, we are dedicated to ensuring the best health is achieved from all our patients.
Problems we frequently help with include:
Acute/chronic low back pain, neuralgia
Sciatica, muscle spasm, cramp
Trapped nerves, disc injuries
Acute/chronic neck pain, whiplash
Migraine, headaches from the neck
Joint pain - shoulder, hip, knee, foot, hand
Frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia
Rheumatic pain, osteoarthritis of hip/knee...and much more
Whether it is a check-up that is needed or help with an existing problem, Chestnut osteopaths can help. Our clinic also includes a specialist Baby & Children’s clinic offering cranial osteopathy (cranio-sacral), we welcome private healthcare patients and a treatment programme is usually 3-5 consultations.
Simply give us a call on 01295 713666 for any further advice or visit our website chestnutosteopathicpractice.co.uk. We look forward to helping you!

What Does Acupuncture Feel Like? You may notice a slight sensation or tingling but most people don’t find it unpleasant.

How Much Does it Cost? After an initial free 30 minutes consultation, the first treatment costs £55.00 and lasts 90 minutes, which
includes a detailed discussion about your and your needs. Subsequent treatments cost £40 and last 45 minutes.

What could be nicer than the taste of slightly warm chocolate cake made with eggs collected from your own back garden? Answer: knowing you saved the lives of the hens that laid them. The feel-good factor instantly increases ten-fold.
Of course I didn’t start the British Hen Welfare Trust to enhance the taste sensations of the nation; but to try to lift the lid on the thorny issue of battery farming. The subject has always created controversy and inflamed emotions with references in the media often being one-sided and accompanied by graphic images with the result that the farmers
have become as hidden from public view as the hens themselves.
I had been rescuing battery hens from slaughter for eight years when I had that ‘lightbulb moment’ and decided to see if anyone else felt the same way and wanted to give some hens a retirement home.
Right from the start I decided to treat British farmers with respect, and to create a charity with a positive ethos. I didn’t want to berate farmers, I wanted to understand them, work with them, learn more about the egg industry and what happened to hens in other parts of the world.
It soon became apparent there was a massive demand for these delightful creatures and the next step was to build local teams of volunteers around the country. In 2005 the British Hen Welfare
Trust became the first registered charity for chickens and we now have 30 teams around the UK, all of whom access local farms and find good,
caring homes for these hardworking hens. The farmers we work with trust us and are happy to work with us so we can organise a hen collection and take as many hen as we are able to find good homes for.
Re-homers that apply to adopt the hens are usually patient (we cannot supply birds on demand as we
work to farm slaughter dates), and compassionate. We do, like any other responsible animal charity, refuse to home hens to anyone offering less than adequate facilities, and I am quite simply over the moon that we are finding good homes for over 60,000 hens every year.
It wouldn’t happen without the effort,
time and commitment of the national team, and sometimes I am in total awe of the people that I work with, including our latest Oxfordshire volunteer, Lucy Singer, who is establishing our newest rehoming centre in Didcot. And the hens show their appreciation in more ways than one; not because they lay delicious eggs -
they offer so much more than that. Keeping ex-commercial hens is enriching and for anyone who’s not tried some as pets: they are endearing, mischievous, precocious and individual. They may all have brown feathers, but that’s where the similarity ends as most ex-bat keepers will agree.
Oh yes, the chocolate cake I shall be tucking into has
been made not just by me; contributions have also been made by Bunty, Darcy, Scooter and Winky… and that’s why I know it’ll be the best chocolate cake in the world!
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE IN THE WORLD
Jane Howorth, founder of the British Hen Welfare Trust, introduces us to the pleasures of ex-battery hens...
If you would like to find out more information or are interested in homing some hens, please visit
the charity website at www.bhwt.org.uk,

1. Always ask for referrals. If you don’t ask, how do you expect to get them? 50% of businesses simply never ask.
2. Ask more than once. Statistics show that if you ask for referrals twice, you’ll get twice as many as if you only ask once.
3. Really ask. Asking means a direct request for referrals i.e. “Who do you know personally who could benefit from using my product/service?”
4. Let your customer know who’s a good referral. Customers aren’t in your business, so you need to tell them exactly who you’re looking for.
5. Help them. Make some suggestions as to people whom they might know i.e. in their line of work or one of their supplies.
6. Give them time to think. Don’t ask for referrals and wait for an answer. Ask and then let them know
when you’ll get back to them to get the referrals.
7. Don’t get names and phone numbers – try to get introduced through a letter, phone call or a meeting.
Finally, once you have your referral, you need to remember to thank the referrer. A thank you card, plus either wine, chocolates, vouchers, lunch etc. are all excellent ways to convey your appreciation.
Vicky Boulton, Marketing Consultant for Fuel, talks about the benefits of asking for customer referrals…
WANT MORE BUSINESS? JUST ASK!
“Referrals are a great source of new business. But unfortunately many of us don’t always remember, or don’t feel comfortable asking for them. See below for my seven tips on how to ask for a referral”

One of the most delightful and satisfying aspects of gardening has to be growing your own plants from seed – and it’s cheap too.
Seeds are clever little packages with all they need to start a new plant including food, packed inside a protective jacket. All they need from you is moisture and warmth – they will do the rest.
Some plants need as long a growing season as possible to produce their fruits or flowers before the winter frosts begin. Sowing them now indoors will give you sturdy plants ready to go outside in about 8 weeks time when the last frosts have gone.
Some seeds to sow now: Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, aubergines, spring onions, cabbage, spinach, chard, petunias, lobelia, marigolds, stock, antirrhinums, ageratum.
As a rule of thumb, seeds
need to go under a cover of compost roughly one and a half times deep as they are large. So, the bigger the seed, the deeper it goes. Thinly scatter the seeds on moist specially formulated seed compost. Or you can ‘loosen’ ordinary potting compost by mixing in vermiculite. The lightness of the compost will help the emerging roots to develop nicely. Cover with the required amount of compost. Once the second pair of leaves has formed, the plants have used up their food resources and are ready to be moved on. Transplant or ‘prick out’ the seedlings to fresh compost with plenty of space to grow on. Ease them free of the soil and lift by the seed leaves so that you don’t damage the roots or stems and gently firm them into the new compost.
As ever, Purely Plants has everything you need and plenty of advice if you should need it.
…with all the advice, seeds and equipment you need from Purely Plants.
