INDEX news October NEWS: Top Class
Cultural history fans won’t want to miss the Exposure exhibition of black and white portraits by the wonderful Jane Bown, who’s been taking photographs for The Observer newspaper since 1949. Fifty of her works, featuring key personalities of our era, will be on show at the TopFoto Gallery, Edenbridge, from 27 September until 1 Nov – a real privilege to be able to see this calibre of work without having to schlep up to London. Prints will also be available to buy.

Tunbridge Wells-based Yippee provides a social network for local young people, aged 16 to 35, with acquired brain injury. Yippee – which was formed in 2004 and established as a charity in 2007 – organises a variety of get-togethers, including fortnightly meetings at Woods or The Royal Wells in Tunbridge Wells, as well as monthly outings including bowling, football, BBQs, theatre and cinema visits, rock climbing and days out.
Louise has benefited from the

It’s almost November, November means fireworks and, to most of us in these here parts, fireworks brings a key event to mind. This year, Index is proud to be a media sponsor of The Royal Tunbridge Wells Round Table’s biggest charity fundraiser, the Annual Dunorlan Park Fireworks Display, which takes place on Saturday, 5 November. Gates open at 5.30pm and the event starts at 6.45pm – tickets on the gate cost £7 for adults and £4 for children, with free entry for under fives. Remember, though, that tickets are cheaper if you buy in advance: £5 for adults and £3 for children, so look out for stands opposite the clock in Calverley Precinct on Saturdays 22 and 29 Oct and Sat 5 Nov. Or you can buy from a whole host of local businesses, from Bracketts in Tunbridge Wells High Street to Notcutts in Pembury. For a full list of retailers, see the Dunorlans Firework page at

me was very isolated. I needed support to help my life return to normality and Yippee offered me just that. I’m able to spend time with other young adults in a similar situation and we can enjoy our independence with the security of having helpers there able to give support when needed.” Earlier this year, Yippee was thrilled to be named as local accountancy firm Creasey’s Charity of the Year. With additional support, it’s hoping to launch a website which will raise its profile in Kent and Sussex. If you’d like to know more about the charity or can help in any way – new members, volunteers and financial help are always welcome – contact Yippee via Julie Reynolds on 01892 673418.
