Design has been clinically trained so we are able to provide our services directly to you.

repairs and adjustments through to new sets we can offer a complete denture care service. Although the work is done ‘in house’ with


partial dentures and other more complex cases we work closely with the dentist. It is essential that the health of any remaining teeth are checked out before denture construction. This is necessary to ensure the prosthesis is a long term solution. We can accept referrals from you own dentist or we can arrange an appointment with one of our dental colleagues at your first appointment. Having the laboratory on the premises reduces


the waiting time for some services, some services like repairs can even be done while you wait. It is also an advantage as some larger adjustments can be done in house We pride ourselves in making sure everyone we


treat is happy with the product we produce and want our patients to have the confidence that their denture has been constructed with the utmost care and using only quality materials. Our aim is to make people comfortable with our treatment and confident with our product.

Club’s brightest star loses his fight for life


ASTALWART ofMaidstone gym- nastics formore than three decades has died after a short fight with a “cruel illness”. PeterGriffin, picturedright, chair-


man and founder of Pegasus Gym- nastics Club, based in FarleighHill, Tovil, passed away earlier this month. A statement from the Pegasus


board and teams said: “It is with deepest sadness that we announce that Peter Griffin, chairman and di- rector of PegasusGymnastics Club, passed away on Friday (March 2) after a short battle with a cruel ill- ness. “Peter has been the rock behind


the foundations and growth of Pe- gasus. Together with his wife, Fef Griffin, they started the Pegasus ‘dream’ and they are the reasonwe are all part of such a successful club. “He has also been involved in


governance at club, county, and re- gional level. For over 30 years he gavemuch of his free time and con- siderable expertise to the develop-


news about Peter. He and Fef were among the very first people I met when I started volunteering for Kent Gymnastics Association back in 2005 and I feel honoured to have known him and worked alongside him on the Kent committee since then. “He was a gentleman, and an in-


ment of Pegasus and event scoring programmes. “Peter was a kind, generous and


inspirational man to all the people that knew him and will be sadly missed by members, parents and staff at the club.” The clubwas closedto all users on


Friday, March 16, as a mark of re- spect. Jonathan Green wrote on Face- book: “I am very sad to learn the


spiration tome andmany other vol- unteers within the sport, setting a great example andencouraging oth- ers. He made an enormous contri- bution to the development of gymnastics in the county, not only at the fantastic PegasusGC, but also at county and regional level over many years of dedicated, hard work. Peter will be greatly missed by allwho knewhim. “ Lisa Locket said: “So sorry to hear


this.Hewas such a lovelyman and so friendly - had many chats with himover the years.” Top British gymnasts Courtney


Tulloch and James Hall, both Pega- susmembers, narrowlymissed out on the RioOlympics in 2016.
