Marzena Art 

I am French-Polish and I live in France, Orleans. 

I paint since 2008. Before arriving in France, I worked with a Polish 

artist. We made a few fashion shows in Poland (Warsaw and Lodz). 

Until then, my artistic sense was expressed more in fashion 

clothing. 

The ability to express emotions through painting has always 

fascinated me. It was something of a revelation, not of my artistic 

side, but my ability to express myself on a canvas. 

I am not influenced by painting styles. I’m influenced only by my 

imagination. I want to create my own style and not being influenced 

by others. That’s why my style is always evolving depending on my 

own imagination and emotions. 

My only guideline is the spontaneous of my imagination. My 

inspiration is coming also from the street and my environment, 

that’s why I mix some picture with painting. 

In my paintings, I want to express my emotions, which are 

sometimes extreme. I never prepare what I am going to paint, it is a 

spontaneous expression of my imagination. Most of my paintings 

are dark for the reasons mentioned above. My paintings are

ANDREW'BATE '&' 

CATHERINE'FROWD 

Catherine Frowd is a visual artist. Her husband, Andrew Bate, is a composer and 

songwriter. They have a three year old daughter. 

We’ve worked on many projects together, most prominently the work we have 

done with Rogue Theatre. I have been a musical director for Rogue since 2008 

writing, performing and overseeing the music for their shows and Catherine has 

been photographing them for many years, utilising her unique style. 

We’ve also just finished working on a short film together called Grey’s Lot for 

director Ian Bucknole. I wrote the score and produced the sound design for the 

film and Catherine provided the still images. 

It’s a pleasure to work with someone on a project who you know has the passion 

and the ability to make things happen. Someone who will always support you and 

you can encourage back because you both understand what it’s like to work in the 

artistic field. 

I have composed music for theatre, film and dance for eleven years and have seen 

my music featured in Red Cross advertising campaigns and played at the London 

IMAX as part of the Virgin Media Shorts shortlisted film RVG. My work can be 

found via Soundcloud 

(soundcloud.com/andrewbatemusic). 

Catherine s passionate about passing on her creativity to our daughter who often 

comes on photo shoots with her. She works in a mixture of mediums including 

painting, photography, sculpture and film, imbuing them all with her distinctive 

style. Look out for Catherine s mixed media workshops this year.

Professional Makeup Stylist Penelope Gibson shares 

how she created a fresh British look for the catwalk 

models at The Hollie Gazzard Trust Fashion Show. 

Makeup Stylist: Penelope Gibson 

Design Brief: Create a classic British 

look, but keep it fresh and current to 

enhance the creations of the fashion 

designers 

I know us makeup and beauty professionals 

are always banging on about primer, but 

the truth is that these products really work. 

They even out skin tone, fill pores, hydrate 

and generally create a perfect surface for 

you to apply your foundation. For this 

shoot I used Urban Decay Tightening & 

Brightening Complexion Primer Potion 

(£19.00) I love the way it performs; it 

brightens, it tightens and reduces fine lines 

with improved surface texture. 

To create a flawless demi matt finish for the 

models skin I used Urban Decay Naked Skin 

Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup (£24.30). 

This foundation is lightweight with amazing 

coverage that leaves your skin looking 

naturally flawless. To cover any blemishes 

or darkness under the eyes I used Yves 

Saint Laurent Touché Eclat Radiant Touch 

(£22.50) a must for any handbag. When 

working on the eyes I opted for M.A.C 

Mineralise Eye Shadow palette ‘A waft of 

grey’ £33.00) the pigments in these eye 

shadows are amazing, a little certainly goes 

a long way and you can achieve a real 

density of colour with a small amount of 

product. 


For the lashes I used Bobbi Brown 

Pretty Powerful Mascara (£19.00 5ml); 

this product lengthens, thickens and 

defines lashes without smudging or 

clumping – while conditioning and 

strengthening lashes. 

Top Tip: When applying 

mascara always start with 

your bottom lashes to 

avoid unsightly mascara 

smudges on your upper 

eye. 

16 

No smokey eyed look would be 

complete without eyeliner; I 

worked Benefit BADgal 

waterproof eyeliner in Black 

(£15.00) into the top and 

bottom lash line to give diffused 

definition. 

For a picture perfect pout I 

applied using a brush for 

precision; Chanel Rouge Allure 

Luminous Intense Lip Colour 

(£26.00) – this lipstick offers a 

radiant and satiny makeup 

result with optimal hold. 

To complete the look I applied 

Laura Mercier Crème Cheek 

Colour in Rosebud (£18.45) to 

add a not so innocent flush of 

colour to the models cheeks.

I was referred to LNH Management Solutions when looking to setup 

a new business venture. I've been very pleased with the time Lee 

initially spent with me advising on the business structure and 

helping with all of the necessary set-up and registration 

requirements. Since this, Lee regularly keeps contact to ensure the 

business is running smoothly and has always been available to 

offer his support in a personal and approachable manner. I've been 

highly impressed with his services and would have no hesitation in 

recommending him to other small businesses.

T: 01242 236236 

Dear Chris and Caroline, Thank you again for the 

outstanding service. As you know, I had a specific idea in 

mind which had some unusual features. I did not feel 

confident that the first company I approached could 

achieve the design I wanted after their repeated failure to 

provide a drawing to my specifications. In contrast you 

provided the drawing I needed quickly and efficiently 

which, together with your professional and caring 

approach, left me in no doubt about placing an order with 

you. 

My mother and I are delighted with the stone, and I know 

my father would have liked it. It's funny but it seems so 

appropriate for him, with its height, slim width and stylish 

features. I hope I can equal your high standards in the small 

planting area in front of the stone with my flowers. 

You both do such an important job and you do it extremely 

well.

Hollie Gazzard Trust 

Hope, passion & a life fulfilled 

A production of Educating Rita was presented by the Everyman Theatre’s 

professional company and performed by Mark Carey and Dani Carbery at the 

King’s Theatre in Gloucester on Saturday 24 January in aid of the Hollie Gazzard 

Trust. It was a thoroughly entertaining evening, brilliantly performed and directed 

by Paul Milton. 

Willy Russell’s play Educating Rita is a modern classic. It tells the story of 

hairdresser Rita, who feels that life has passed her by. She wants an education. 

But does Open University lecturer Frank have anything to teach her Educating 

Rita is a hilarious, and moving, story of a woman’s determination to change her 

life. (does this remind you of Hollie) 

Director Paul Milton said ‘..We are happy to be here in Gloucester with our 

production of Educating Rita, a play that has been performed at the Everyman 

before, but is surely ripe for revival. It’s a twentieth-century classic and has been 

voted one of the most popular plays of all time. Even though it’s a comedy I hope 

you found the serious themes too – a working woman’s place in society, the 

purpose of education, midlife crises and others..’ 

A great evening’s entertainment and HGT would like to thank the Everyman for 

this performance and donating the proceeds to the fund. we would also like to 

than the Kings Theatre for its hospitality. A great intimate theatre and we look 

forward to working with the Everyman in the future.

Gloucester Ambassador 

We are delighted that Juliette Crosby has 

joined The Trust as its Ambassador for 

Gloucester. Fresh from her time as Miss 

Gloucester 2014, Juliette wanted to 

continue her great work in the charity 

sector and as a Churchdown resident, HGT 

is close to her heart. She was therefore 

delighted when asked to be an 

Ambassador for the Trust. We are very 

excited about what Juliette can add in 

terms of building on what we have 

achieved so far!

Quote from Juliette 

' I'm honoured to have been asked to have 

be part of a truly amazing cause. The 

events that's happened with Hollie, not 

only touched me but the whole 

community and I'm looking forward to 

working together to change the way we 

think about domestic abuse and knife 

crime '

CLAIMING VAT ON PRE-REGISTRATION EXPENDITURE 

VAT is an administrative minefield for accountants, let alone business owners. 

However a very important piece of favourable VAT legislation that all business owners should be 

aware of is the entitlement to reclaim VAT on some of their expenditure made before they became 

registered. Of course you must make sure that both the business and the entity are the same one that 

made the original purchase (i.e. the business has not changed from a sole trade to a company). 

There are different rules that apply however to the purchase of goods and the purchase of services. 

VAT on the Purchase of Pre-Registration Goods 

Businesses can reclaim VAT on the purchase of goods prior to registration providing that the goods 

were purchased within the four years prior to the date of registration, and they fall within one of the 

below categories: 

1. The goods purchased will result in a sale/supply on which the business will be able to charge 

VAT (i.e. the goods haven’t been used, sold or consumed at the date of registration). A good example 

would be a builder who has a number of building materials in stock at the point of registering for VAT. 

These materials in stock would be expected to be used on a future sale which will be charged VAT, an 

therefore the original VAT on the purchase of the materials can be reclaimed. 

2. VAT can also be reclaimed on goods which were purchased and used prior to registration, as 

long as they continue to be used after registration to contribute in generating sales/supply on which 

the business will be able to charge VAT. Examples of this would typically be capital assets such as 

vans, plant/machinery, computer equipment, etc. Despite being used prior to the registration, you can 

still recover 100% of the original VAT on the purchase. 

VAT on the Purchase of Pre-Registration Services 

It is extremely difficult to be able to prove whether a service paid for prior to registration has resulted 

in a service provided to the business after registration. Therefore the rules for reclaiming VAT on the 

purchase of services prior to registration only allow for purchases up to six months prior to the date o 

registration.

Unique Football 

The Robins @CTFCofficial 

It seems to go from bad to worse as of 5th February Cheltenham Town sit in 

18th position and only two points outside the relegation zone. From the 

outside looking in something just doesn’t feel right. It was never going to be an 

easy transition for Paul Buckle, it looks like the players are still not quite on 

board with his ideas or we may just be missing the quality required. 

After Saturdays 3 – 1 Away defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge this weekend’s 

visit of Burton Albion takes greater importance, but with Burton in the lofty 

heights of second place. 

Some good news for Robins fans as we have signed striker Mathieu Manset 

until the end of the season. The 25-year-old Frenchman was released by League 

One side Walsall on Monday, after scoring once in 24 appearances. 

He becomes the fifth signing in two days for the Robins, who brought in 

midfielder Jordan Wynter and forwards Eliot Richards, Denny Johnstone and 

Wes Burns on transfer deadline day. 

Meanwhile, player-coach Steve Elliott has left the club after four-and-a-half 

years at Whaddon Road. The 36-year-old defender has returned to full fitness 

after a recent knee injury and will now look for playing opportunities 

elsewhere.

36 

This is how the the following games look like for The Robins: 

Tuesday 10th February 19:45 Away to Southend (5th Position ) 

Saturday 14th February 15:00 Home to Bury Home (7th Position) 

Friday 20th February 19:45 Away to Accrington (16th Position) 

Saturday 28th February 15:00 Home to Tranmere (17th Position) 

So next three fixtures look especially difficult but with only 6 points separating 

Cheltenham in 21st place and Cambridge 14th place, there is still loads to be 

positive about after a couple of wins. Hopefully the lads will soon click with Paul 

Buckles methods and the injection of five new signings will invigorate the squad.
