Competitions more competitions online at www.basingstokeobserver Win: Arden Grange pet food A REAL taste of the Arctic is coming to Aviemore. On 23rd and 24th January, the Aviemore Sled Dog Rally will see more than 250 teams of dogs from all over the country straining at the leash to run on the gruelling four-mile track and continue a racing tradition, which is over a century old. Set in the forests around Loch Morlich, in the shadow of the Cairngorms, its the biggest event of its kind in the UK and will attract com- petitors from as far afield as the Isle of Wight and Devon. Organised by the Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain, and sponsored by Arden Grange pet food, the event will be a big test for some of the countrys fittest dogs, which is why only the best dog food will do. Working dogs, like Siberian Huskies, and pets with active lifestyles need super pre- mium quality nutrition to achieve the vitality and stamina to live life to the full. Thats why all Arden Grange complete dog foods are hypoallergenic and free from wheat-gluten, dairy products, beef, soya, artifi- cial colourings, flavourings and preservatives. Find out more at www.ardengrange.com Your dog may not be taking part in the rally but still needs to be fed properly. Give it the nutrition it needs with this fantastic prize of a voucher for a 15kg bag of Arden Grange Adult Lamb and Rice, worth 36. Just answer this question to be in with a chance of winning...

Hard water is something we are all used to in the South, although most of us have got used to putting up with it, many do not realise that you can do something about it. It furs up our heating systems, causing breakdowns, makes it more expensive to heat our homes and damages our appliances. The other problem with limescale is the constant cleaning of showerheads, shower screens, stainless steel sinks, the whole house can suffer where water is concerned. Limescale aggravates skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis. With a water softener no limescale will get into the house, which means you will have to do less cleaning, stop buying limescale-related products, cut washing powder use by up to 75 and have less chance of large bills for potential future problems with your heating system and appliance breakdowns. If you were to purchase an ordinary softener you would have quite a large machine, which requires you to set clocks and lug around a 25kg bag of salt. The TwinTec S3 is different. It is small, requires no electricity and uses block salt (like two house bricks) instead of heavy bags. Harvey Softeners has been manufacturing softeners in this area for more than 25 years and use to trade under the name (Kinetico Ltd). Kevin Goody (UK Water Softeners) is one of Harveys top TwinTec dealers and was voted number two in the country last year.

He puts it down to extensive marketing, having a great plumber with over 21 years of experience installing water softeners, good customer satisfaction and recommendations.
