THE<br />
MAGAZINE<br />
Welcome!<br />
Welcome to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Local</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>, the<br />
<strong>brand</strong> <strong>new</strong> free bi-monthly community<br />
publication in your area. After many<br />
months of meetings and long lunches,<br />
myself, James Ramsden and my<br />
business partner Jason Hart have finally<br />
brought our <strong>brand</strong> <strong>new</strong> magazine to life.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Local</strong> contains a broad range of<br />
information tied in with an overall<br />
‘money saving’ theme, all aimed at<br />
your local area. With its modern, fresh<br />
and funky styling, the magazine offers<br />
a light and enjoyable read, perfect for<br />
the average coffee break.<br />
Inside you’ll find articles (some<br />
written by us and some from local<br />
advertisers), <strong>new</strong>s of upcoming events,<br />
competitions and, most importantly,<br />
offers and deals from the local area.<br />
In our first month we’ve kept the<br />
magazine small and focussed. But<br />
with each subsequent issue we<br />
hope to include more and more local<br />
information, articles and money saving<br />
vouchers as we discover them.<br />
Here’s what we have in the June issue:<br />
We have a double page spread from<br />
the <strong>brand</strong> <strong>new</strong> <strong>builders</strong> <strong>merchant</strong> on<br />
the block, Eastern Aggregates and on<br />
page 11 you’ll find a local success<br />
story from Martham FC who have<br />
just been promoted to division 2. Well<br />
done guys! We also have our regular<br />
car maintenance column ‘Fuelled’ from<br />
Repps Garage and some other quick<br />

THE<br />
MAGAZINE<br />
By Jason Hart - Repps Garage<br />
E-mail: jason.hart@reppsgarage.co.uk<br />
Welcome to my column in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Local</strong><br />
<strong>Magazine</strong>. I will be writing motor<br />
related articles each publication<br />
aiming to provide useful information,<br />
helpful hints and tips on vehicle<br />
maintenance.<br />
In this issue I want to talk about<br />
Air Conditioning systems and why<br />
it is important to have your system<br />
regularly checked and re-gassed.<br />
Why do Air Conditioning<br />
systems need to be serviced?<br />
A cars air conditioning system can<br />
lose up to 15% of coolant every<br />
year naturally through hoses and<br />
connections. Meaning a 3 year old car<br />
may have lost almost half its coolant,<br />
greatly reducing the cold air output.<br />
Having an air conditioning system<br />
serviced regularly not only restores the<br />
lost coolant but also helps to reduce<br />
wear and tear on components by<br />
injecting fresh lubricating oil into its<br />
system. This helps to avoid potentially<br />
big repair bills if a component fails.<br />
Ideally, you should run your air<br />
conditioning at least once a week,<br />
especially in the winter. This helps<br />
to keep the seals in the system from<br />
seizing up or drying out through<br />
non-use.<br />
What are the benefits of air<br />
conditioning?<br />
Cool air is not the only benefit, others<br />
include:<br />
• Warm dehumidified air in winter<br />
easily demists steamed up windows<br />
• Filters pollutants / airborne particles<br />
including pollen<br />
• Pleasant and odour free vehicle<br />
atmosphere at all times<br />
How often should they<br />
be serviced?<br />
It is recommended to have your<br />
system inspected and the gas fully<br />
changed every 2 years.<br />
What’s involved with a<br />
service?<br />
Most air conditioning services should<br />
include the following features:<br />
• Recharging of gas to recommended<br />
levels, adding fresh system oil<br />
• Full visual inspection, temperature<br />
and leak checks<br />
• Recovery of refrigerant, evacuation<br />
of air and moisture from system<br />
Always check what is included in an<br />
air conditioning service and be aware<br />
that only F-Gas approved/trained<br />
Vehicle Technicians can work on a<br />
vehicle air conditioning system.

How can I help?<br />

may have, face to face, with their local<br />

Martham First Team are the <strong>new</strong><br />
league champions of Anglian<br />
Combination Division 3, winning<br />
promotion to Division 2 for the first<br />
time in the clubs history! No other<br />
Martham team has ever reached this<br />
level and it is a very proud moment for<br />
all the players and officials involved<br />
with Martham FC.<br />
Promotion was achieved when<br />
Martham FC beat U.E.A. on April<br />
14th 2012 and the league title was<br />
confirmed a week later on the 21st<br />
April 2012 when Cromer Reserves, the<br />
only team who could catch Martham,<br />
lost to Loddon Reserves at home.<br />
Martham FC have already beaten three<br />
Division 2 teams in cup competitions<br />
over the past two seasons, so they<br />
should settle in well to the <strong>new</strong> league<br />
when the season restarts in August.<br />
