Editor’s LETTER

We hope you like our very sunny March cover, showing the cast of Henfield Theatre Company’s production of Calendar Girls, on stage at the Henfield Hall this month. After the sell-out show Oliver please do try to book your tickets early (the box office is already open when you receive your March copy) to avoid disappointment. We’ve spoken to director Ann Stern and two of the cast members to find out more about the show, see page 26. A hot topic for current debate which has monopolised our Facebook site recently is the proposal by Barratt Homes for 160 new homes on land next to the Downslink at West End Lane. It’s not too late to let Barratt know your opinions on the proposed plans, see page 3 for details and see our report on page 25. Two Henfield women, Ann Clark and Ann Garmston, travelled to Sumatra last year to help the charity The Children of Sumatra, who facilitate life changing surgery for children with cleft lip and palate. Read their interesting story on page 46. As always, we love to hear from you with your interesting stories and news, so do keep in touch if you have something to say. You can email me editor@bn5magazine.co.uk or visit our facebook page www.facebook.com/bn5magazine and post your comments there. Enjoy March, spring is just around the corner! Best wishes

Many thanks to our editorial and photographic contributors this month; Paul Samrah, Richard Cohen, Darren Angood and Mike Beardall.

RESTORATION PROJECT COMPLETE! Jenny Davies like many of us leads a very busy life running her own accountancy business, raising a family, keeping fit and competing in Marathons however this was not enough for Jenny last year! On the site of Jenny and husband Alan’s beautiful property Lancasters in West End Lane, was an old piggery and a dilapidated old stable. The buildings were in desperate need of either demolition or redevelopment and the couple did not hesitate when deciding to redevelop using original and in keeping materials. The stable has been converted into Jenny’s office and gym whilst the piggery has been converted into a beautiful self-catering holiday accommodation affectionately known as Hope Cottage. The Cottage has been designed and set out to an exceptionally high standard and you will feel warm and cosy as soon as you step into its tranquil setting. This contemporary holiday cottage has an open plan living area, luxury bathroom and beautiful bedroom all decorated and fitted with the highest quality soft furnishings, appliances and equipment. The entrance through double doors, leads into an open plan sitting/ dining room, featuring the original oak beams and decorated in neutral warm colours. The cottage has one charming double bedroom featuring a classic cast iron bed and there is a large sofa bed in the very comfortable living area. Hope Cottage enjoys its own private courtyard and garden, brimming with fragrant lavender, hellebores and roses. The cottage would offer a perfect stunning base for family or friends visiting for holidays, family weddings and celebrations.

“We are delighted with the restoration, it has been an exciting project and the old piggery now looks beautiful”. Have a look at the pictures and details about the cottage on the recently launched website, www.hopecottagesussex.co.uk and Jenny is available on 01273 492828 if you would like to find out more.

LOCAL EXPERT LAUNCHES PRIVATE PILATES STUDIO Pilates instructor Liz Marks has been teaching Pilates to small groups of beginners through to advanced clients at Henfield Leisure Centre for eight years. From this month on she will also be providing individual Pilates lessons in the peaceful surroundings of her brand new, fully equipped small Private Pilates Studio in the heart of Henfield.

Pilates ‘Reformer’ machine. The Reformer offers additional challenge for those experienced in Pilates with literally hundreds of additional strengthening and stretching moves whilst also providing support and help for those requiring post-op rehabilitation or with a long term injury. It is a fantastic option for older people as it is very low impact and easy on the joints. Liz will be offering 1-1 private lessons to existing clients who would like to enhance their regular Pilates exercise routine. They are ideal for those in need of post-op rehabilitation and to people who already exercise and are looking for a different approach to achieving their health and fitness goals. If you want to improve the way you feel, and experience the unique life changing benefits of Pilates, Liz’s 1-1 private Pilates lessons are a great way to start!

Pilates is well known for improving posture, vitality and fitness, but for decades it has also been recommended by doctors, physiotherapists and osteopaths as the ideal way to support treatment for a long term back injury or for post-operative rehabilitation. Liz is the only instructor in the area specialising in APPI Pilates – the world leading rehabilitation based Pilates training method. Unlike more traditional forms of Pilates, this modified form of Pilates is suitable for all, regardless of age or fitness levels. It promotes a more streamlined, balanced stronger body whilst reducing stress and fatigue. The exercises are taught in standing, sitting and lying positions. APPI Pilates quickly become a lifestyle opportunity, not just an exercise programme.

Pilates delivers: • A stronger, toned and more supple body • More energy • Reduced stress • Fewer aches and pains • Improved body confidence • Better posture

At her Private Pilates Studio, alongside private tuition in APPI Pilates matwork, Liz is equipped with the amazing

FALL IN LOVE WITH FEELING GREAT!

“I have tried nearly all the forms of exercise, but Pilates is so carefully structured that one feels safe and professionally watched over by Liz who exudes such enthusiasm and confidence that any worries of possible injury or damage are overcome.” D. S. “The classes are enjoyable and challenging- a concentrated workout for the whole body (and mind!) We all leave feeling rejuvenated and energised.” R. T.

aerobathon raises £600 for Leisure Centre studio

“We already have a fund raising plan for 2013 which will be launched soon” said Charles. “I suppose if I had two wishes for the coming year it would be that people remember local charities when making donations and not gift everything to the national causes, and that we also see more involvement from the surrounding communities”. The Trust will be looking for energetic and enthusiastic Trustees from local areas during the course of this year.

More than 50 Henfield adults and children took part in an ‘aerobathon’ in January to raise funds for refurbishing the Leisure Centre aerobics studio. They raised more than £600 with the two hour exercise session in the main hall with music and effects supplied by Rikki’s Audio Hire of Steyning. Studio co-ordinator Amanda Lucas said: “It was a brilliant turnout and we have made enough to refurbish the walls and ceiling Charity needs volunteer - now we need to raise more to put in a new floor.” collectors The target figure is £4,000 and a second event in the Marie Curie Cancer Care is appealing for people summer will include a barbeque. in West Sussex to donate an hour of their time this Steyning charity March, to hand out the charity’s iconic daffodil pin celebrates double success in return for donations, as part of the charity’s Great Daffodil Appeal.

playing field AGM

Tucked half a mile down Blackstone Lane off the Brighton Road at Woodmancote is one of the best kept sporting secrets in the local area: The Sutton Winson Sussex Cricket Academy cricket ground resides at the Woodmancote Parish playing field. It provides superbly maintained facilities for the counties young representative cricketers, Blackstone Stoolball Club and junior football teams from Henfield FC. Re-developed in 2003 the ground has been the home of Blackstone Stoolball Club since the 1949. The club is always on the lookout for new members and play in the mid Sussex Ladies League with matches on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the summer. They also enter regular weekend summer tournaments when occasionally the guys are allowed to have a go in ‘mixed’ events. The game is similar to cricket though without the need for protective equipment. To find out more contact Lyn Baldy, Blackstone Stoolball Club Secretary at l.baldey@sky.com Football has also been a feature at Blackstone since local subscription first purchased the field for local sports enthusiasts in 1948. In more recent times it has become a key venue for the Henfield FC junior section who enjoy one of the best playing surfaces in the county away from Brighton & Hove Albions own academy. The pitches are being used this season by the under 8’s, under 11’s and under 14’s teams. Whilst the under 14’s have a full squad, the under 11’s managed by Rebekah Seager (BekSeager@uk.ibm. com) and the under 8’s managed by Dick Hill (dick@ qubedata.co.uk) have spaces for new players and they would love to hear from you. There is also a super modern play area for your little ones and a footpath takes you off to the excellent local networks of paths and bridleways that criss-cross our patch of Sussex. The pavilion features a fantastic kitchen and lounge area and makes a great venue for kids parties - contact Phil Scarfield at philip.scar-

field@tesco.net if you are interested in hiring the venue. If visiting the site please be mindful that there are Parish Council restrictions on parking in Blackstone Lane to afford agricultural vehicle access. The venue is administered by the Woodmancote & Blackstone Playing Fields Association whose AGM is scheduled for 6.30pm on Monday 18 March when interested persons are welcome to attend.

SHEPHERD & DOG FULKING gets HART defibrillator Fulking’s Shepherd and Dog pub has become the second location in the village to receive a heart defibrillator. The presentation of the defibrillator from HART (Henfield Area Response Team) was made by founder Dave Fletcher to proprietor Jenny Tooley. More than half a dozen staff at the pub have been trained to use the machine in the case of a cardiac arrest. Jenny said: “Being in a remote spot means emergency services take longer to get to us and this defibrillator gives us a chance to act in an emergency before a responder or ambulance gets to us.” The pub will be raising funds for HART with a cider celebration day on Friday 1 March. 01273 857382 for more information.

health screening charity celebrates 25 years The Mary How Trust for Cancer Prevention, is celebrating its 25th anniversary and invites you to take part in its Silver Jubilee. Based in Pulborough, the Mary How Trust provides a health screening service to spot the early signs of cancer and other serious illnesses. Thanks to the fundraising support of local people and businesses, the Mary How Trust has been able to transform the lives of people like Mr John Peters from Hurstpierpoint, who received an early diagnosis of colon cancer and prostate cancer as a result of his Mary How Trust screening – even before he had symptoms. He was able to start treatment immediately, before

01273 494002

the cancers had time to spread. Mr Peters’ wife, Prue, told the Trust: “The outcome, had we not had a health screening – is unthinkable. We are indebted to the Mary How Trust for alerting us to two life-threatening illnesses which are now being treated. We cannot recommend this wonderful facility enough.” The Mary How Trust is entirely funded by donations from the men and women who come for health screenings, and from donors and fundraisers throughout the local community. The charity needs your help to continue its life-changing service. They are encouraging local people to get involved and help raise funds in this Jubilee year. Jubilee Fundraisers can be individuals or groups of friends – as well as clubs, schools, and workplaces. To take part in the Mary How Trust’s Silver Jubilee, please contact the Trust at 08452410956 or www.maryhowtrust.org

777 fundraising Update It’s a year in March since the mega Henfield fundraising event of seven marathons in seven days on seven treadmills, a total of 49 marathons, by the 777 team. Time has flown but they’ve not stood still – since then the fundraising has continued. Challenges have included the London to Brighton night bike ride; the Brighton Marathon; the London to Brighton off-road challenge; a tandem skydive and a huge fundraiser at Egham Rugby Club. The total raised for Clic Sergeant is over £27,000, with some of the money going to Henfield Leisure Centre. They’re not taking a break though – future events planned are the ‘Tough Mudder’ a marine assault course in Kettering said to be the toughest in the country, as well as the London to Surrey 100 which takes in 100 miles in 9 hours of cycling. Friend of 777 Lee Gold is also taking a literal leap of faith as he embarks on a tandem skydive on 10 March. Please continue to support the 777 fundraising team as they raise money to fight childhood leukemia. If you’re not the sporty type or willing to jump out of a plane, don’t despair – you can always support the team by purchasing one of their hoodies or t-shirts from Henfield Leisure Centre or perhaps you can put a few quid their way next time you see them taking on a new challenge.

Hurstpierpoint spring concert

Singers

A new term has begun for the Hurstpierpoint Singers and rehearsals are now in full swing. Under the new musical direction of Paul Simpson, the choir is reviving the fun and enjoyment of choral singing in preparation for what promises to be a superb and lively spring concert. The main items this year are a celebration of Baroque music with Vivaldi’s Gloria and the less well known but equally beautiful Magnificat, along with a selection of Bach Chorales. The concert will be held on Saturday 16 March 7:30pm at the United Reformed Church in Keymer Road, Hassocks. Tickets (£10) are available from Janton News and The Mint House in Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks Hardware, Orion Parade in Hassocks, choir members or on the door. Becky Furner, Hurstpierpoint Singers

On 23 and 24 January, all Year 12 International Baccalaureate (IB) students were involved in a science project that accounted for 3% of their science grade. Whilst the next Rover to the Red Planet is not planned until 2020, they had just two days to research, test and present their proposal to a panel of in-house scientists. ‘Getting to Mars’ was the mission chosen by Steyning Grammar School for the IB Group 4 science project. It tested personal skills, motivation, perseverance, team work and self-reflection in the students. The group of 24 was split into five teams, each consisting of at least one chemist, one physicist and one biologist, and given a topic to investigate. The teams went their separate ways, each to focus on their individual Mars mission and develop theories for food and water supplies, keeping fit and healthy, avoiding psychological imbalance and providing protection against harmful radiation. Each team produced a very well researched presentation and Danielle Cook, IB Coordinator, was very impressed with everyone: “We were all pleased to see such earnestness in young adults. Each individual immersed themselves in the topic given and the groups worked well together as teams, persevering in their research until they were confident they knew their subjects well enough to make tentative conclusions,

Local author published Local author Carl Anthony provides a primer on hypnotism for medical professionals, patients and casual readers. The medical application of hypnosis in relieving pain, enhancing sleep and alleviating ailments has been understood and utilised for more than a century by healthcare professionals around the world. Despite this, it remains largely vague and mysterious to the general public. In Hypnotherapy: Cancer, Hospice and Palliative Care Anthony expounds on the usefulness of the procedure as a therapeutic agent in a variety of clinical situations.

News | MARCH 2013 Anthony’s work demonstrates how hypnotherapy becomes invaluable as both an individual treatment and as a supplement to medical treatment, intervening and relieving the agonizing symptoms experienced by patients. Aside from diminishing both acute and chronic physical pain hypnotherapy’s therapeutic versatility allows it to address the psychological aspect of the disease condition such as anxiety, stress, tension and psychomatic illnesses.

News | MARCH 2013 that the community in Henfield develop a Neighbourhood Plan. Such a plan would become an important planning tool for managing further development in Henfield. The Annual Council Report for 2012 is available on line at www.henfield.gov.uk or from the Parish Council office. For the last six months the Compass Bus 106 Saturday service to Worthing has only been able to run with the financial support of Henfield, Steyning, Bramber and Upper Beeding Parish Councils. Passenger numbers have been disappointing, but it is considered this was in part due to the major road works on the A27 at Lancing and the resulting temporary bus timetable. Henfield and the other Parish Councils have now agreed to continue to subsidise the service until the end of August 2013. If passenger numbers do not pick up it is likely this service will not continue after that date. It is therefore a case of ‘use it or Lose it’. The Monday to Friday 106 service is operated by Compass commercially and whilst not affected by this subsidy, passenger numbers are kept under review and the service remains at risk unless the service is better used.

from 26-28 April, the event sees thousands of swimmers challenge themselves through 5k, 2.5k and 1.5k individual challenges or Team 5k/1.5k challenges, while raising funds to help Marie Curie Nurses care for terminally ill people at the end of their lives. Presenter, Tim Lovejoy and Swimathon President/ Olympic gold medallist, Duncan Goodhew launched the event with the unveiling of their Swimathon Squad. Tim Lovejoy commented: “Being part of the Swimathon Squad is a fantastic opportunity to brush up on my swimming skills, while raising awareness of Marie Curie Cancer Care. Like many people, my family has been affected by cancer so I know just how important the Marie Curie Nursing service is to people at the end of their lives and their families.

The soft play area will cost around £250,000. Lions membership officer David Pryor said: “We are proud to support the leisure centre and this is a very worthwhile project.”

ANNALISE TO SKYDIVE FOR ST BARNABAS AGAIN Annalise Reynard from Henfield has already raised in the region of £12,000 for St Barnabas Hospice after a sponsored wing balk in August 2003 and a tandem skydive in June 2006. This year Annalise celebrates a special birthday (only 70, shhh…) in an unusual way - with a tandem skydive from a helicopter over the Eiger mountain in Switzerland! The idea came from Annalise’s son Jean Philippe, who will be married in Murren, Switzerland on 15 June this year. Annalise’s skydive, a gift from Jean Philippe, takes place the day before the wedding perhaps a good way to distract from pre-wedding nerves! Annalise will be jumping from the helicopter at 12,000 feet and after freefalling for 40 seconds the parachute will open at 5,000 feet. Annalise is hoping to raise money for St Barnabas Hospice again, if you would like to support her brave challenge you will find sponsorship forms in Bay Tree Trading and the St Barnabas shop in Henfield.

MARCH 2013 | News Barratt’s West End Lane development PROPOSALS go on show An exhibition on proposals for land to the west of the Cat & Canary pub in West End Lane went on display on 1 February in the Henfield Hall. Barratt Southern Counties wish to apply for planning permission in the near future to build 160 homes, developing agricultural land next to the Downslink (see map right). Barratt representatives estimated that around 250 local people attended the event. After an unpopular development application by Wellbeck was passed recently by Horsham District Council for homes east of Manor Way in a position generally regarded to have poor access routes, many Henfield residents feel unhappy that another development is proposed. In addition, many of the phase three Parsonage development have yet to be sold, putting into question the perceived need for more housing in the village. Criticisms for further development include the lack of a neighbourhood plan. Some feel strongly that the Wellbeck appeal has opened the floodgates for the development of other land under option around the village. Barratt Homes representatives Tristan Fitzgerald offered this press release; “More than 250 residents of Henfield attended the public exhibition on Barratt’s proposals to build up to 160 new homes on land off West End Lane on Friday, 1 February. “We received a good deal of feedback and value constructive comments and opinions from the local community. We are therefore keen for our consultation to continue beyond the exhibition. Now that the exhibition has been viewed by the public, we feel the best forms of grassroots consultation within Henfield are now through the Henfield Hub and the BN5 Magazine. The Facebook pages of both these two web sites have already proved to be a focal point for local feedback. “Therefore, our exhibition boards are on the Henfield Hub, together with our questionnaire. These questionnaires can be returned by post or email (vic.angell@ tfa-ltd.co.uk) up to Friday, 1 March, a month after the exhibition. “Barratt will consider all feedback received and how it can inform the proposals for land at West End Lane.�

A poll on the Henfield Hub website showed 32% in favour of the development and 68% against. Plans and updates posted on the BN5 Facebook site elicited some lively debate and an overwhelming majority spoke out against further development in the village. Reasons and opinions cited by those commenting included a lack of resources to accommodate more housing (including the questioning of school places and medical centre provision); access route issues to the development through narrow and already congested streets; the loss of a greenfield site and many questioning the need for further housing when there were developments already underway in the village. Some spoke of the need for affordable housing in the area, of which the proposal is offering 40% with a mix of rented and shared equity homes. You can view images of the proposed development on the BN5 Facebook pages published on 8 March (this is an open site so does not require a Facebook account for access, although if you wish to comment you will need to be an account holder). Go to www. facebook.com/bn5magazine to view. There is also a copy of the questionnaire which you can print and return, or email as directed above, before the deadline of 1 March.

BN5 magazine will keep you updated with developments as soon as we have information, any press releases missing our print deadline will appear on our Facebook pages, so make sure you ‘like’ our page to enable immediate updates. Emma Osman

field n e H n i s l r i G r a d n e Cal T

hursday 14 March sees the opening night of Henfield Theatre Company’s (HTC) production of Calendar Girls, an uplifting and heart-warming comedy about a group of friends from Yorkshire who bare all to create an alternative WI fundraising calendar.

Based on a true story, Calendar Girls was an award winning film in 2003 starring Helen Mirren, Judie Dench and Ceilia Imrie. A stage play based on the film opened in 2008 in Chichester and then subsequently transferred to the West End, becoming the most successful play to ever tour the UK. I met up with some of Henfield’s own Calendar Girls at one of their rehearsals to find out a bit more about them, their role in the production and their involvement with HTC. Anne Stern, the Director of Calendar Girls, has been acting since 1977 and directing since the 1980’s. I started off with little acting parts and then the parts got bigger and bigger. Then during the 1980’s I was asked to direct and I’ve been doing both ever since. I particularly enjoy comedy productions as I like making people laugh! Amateur dramatics is very cre-

ative and very rewarding – you get a real buzz out it. If I’ve been directing a production I like sitting in the audience on the opening night and thinking “Aren’t they good!” A production is a real commitment and a real team effort – for our production of ‘Quartet’ we had at least 50 people involved back stage as well as the actors. At the end of a production my immediate reaction is “Phew, thank goodness that’s over” as it takes over your life, especially if you are directing. But then I wake up on Sunday morning and think “What am I going to do with my time now?” I saw the Chichester production of Calendar Girls and loved it – the play is so much better than the film! Nicki Dowd has been a part of HTC productions ever since she was a little girl. Nicki plays the part of Celia. Not from the same mould as the other Calendar Girls, Ceila has a wealthy husband, dresses to kill, plays golf and likes a drink. Her selfish nature makes her less popular with the other girls but throughout the course of the play she becomes less selfish. When I was little I used to be in a dance group which performed in HTC productions. I stopped acting in my teenage years but then came back to it after I was married. What’s great about it is that it’s very social thing.

MARCH 2013 | Local interest You can choose your level of commitment- if you can’t commit the time to acting there are plenty of other roles: prompt, stage management, front of house, make-up, stage hand and others. I love comedy productions and anything by Alan Ayckbourn. I often play ‘tart with a heart’ characters, like Celia! On the opening night, no matter how many times I’ve rehearsed, I feel really nervous. But by scenes three or four I feel very relaxed. On the last night it feels more smiley! There is less anxiety, more excitement and a little bit of sadness. I saw a production of Calendar Girls in London and afterwards I thought to myself “If HTC ever do Calendar Girls, I want to be a part of it.” The Calendar Girls cast is lovely – it‘s all girls together! Susanna Seaford came to Henfield 40 years ago and this will be the 50th production that she has either acted in or directed for HTC. Susanna plays the part of Jessie, an ex-school teacher and the oldest of the group. Jessie resented being made to retire and does not like getting old, but she lives her life to the full and is up for anything - including posing for the calendar. I trained in theatre and then went into teaching, I love working with children and so I like directing musicals and Christmas productions as they often have the most children’s parts.

I prefer playing character roles to straight roles, but I’ve played all sorts. I’ve played the Wicked Witch of the West in Wizard of Oz, Guinevere in Camelot and Kate in Kiss me Kate. I am incredibly nervous before a production and often the week before I have nightmares that I’m standing in the wings and I don’t know my words! At the end of a production I’m always quite sad as it leaves a gap in my life. I had retired from acting but I came back for Calendar Girls because I love the humour of it. I don’t think I’ll worry about the nudity – it’s more teasing than anything else! The other actresses in the production include: Sharona Key-Barry who plays Chris, the driving force in the play and an outspoken leader; Nicky Haines who plays Annie, the best friend of Chris, who has to cope with her husband John’s illness; Hilary Westlake who plays Cora, a single mum who likes to play the joker as a cover for her insecurity; Heather McFarlane-Cryer who plays Ruth, a seemingly timid and unworldly character who is hiding an unhappy marriage. Jane Haines has composed the score for the production.

Calendar Girls is on from 14-16 March 2013 at the Henfield Hall. Tickets are available from the Box Office at Henfield Furnishings, telephone 01273 490080. Sarah Butler

HART Survivors

M

any people braved the cold and snowy weather on Monday 21 January to attend the Henfield Area Response Team (HART) lunch at the White Hart in honour of a visit from Professor Maaret Castrén, Chair of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC).

Professor Maaret Castrén is professor in emergency medicine at Karolinksa Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden and also at Turku University, Finland as well as the chair of the European Resuscitation Council (the network of National Resuscitation Councils in Europe). She has a huge amount of experience in chain of care in cardiac arrest, resuscitation skills and emergency care technology. Professor Castrén explained that although most countries in the European Union have responder units, they vary enormously in terms of how they operate. For example, in some countries only doctors and nurses are allowed to use defibrillator units. But as Professor Castrén pointed out, what sets HART apart from many other responder unit is the “Fantastic community involvement.” She went on to add “It doesn’t matter if you have the best ambulance unit in the world if you don’t have a good first responder unit.” The responders are the very visual element of HART, but behind the scenes there are numerous individuals, groups and organisations in our community all doing their bit to support HART in different ways. Some of those who were thanked on the day by Dave Fletcher and Dick Nye include: Giles Culver, landlord of the White Hart who organises a twice monthly pub quiz in aid of HART; the local band RetrOactive who have raised in excess of £10,000 for HART over the past five years at their annual fundraising supper dance; and the Henfield Medical Practice who have provided

“great support” over the years. “We can’t thank the community enough,” said Dave. “and we are very grateful for all the volunteer support.” This sentiment was echoed by the representative from the South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb), who formally thanked HART stating “We are very grateful to the responders for giving up their time.” Also attending the lunch was another eminent medical expert, Professor Douglas Chamberlain CBE who worked at the Royal Sussex County Hospital for over thirty years as a Consultant Cardiologist. Now in his eighties, Professor Chamberlain was instrumental in ensuring that all ambulance staff were trained in resuscitation in the early 1970’s. He then went on to found the first paramedic unit in Europe, revolutionising pre-hospital clinical care. Professor Chamberlain, who has worked with Dave Fletcher for many years and is an honorary member of HART, said that with cases of cardiac arrest “Ambulances hardly ever get there in time.” He then went on to describe HART as “the best responder unit in the world”. Two of the lunch guests had more reason than most to be grateful for HART. Erin Makey from Lower Beeding was at a family celebration at the Bull Inn five years ago when she suddenly went into cardiac arrest. Aged only 21 at the time she had no previous history of cardiac problems. Whilst two friends of her brother carried out cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), her cousin dialled 999 for an ambulance and relayed the instructions of the operator to the two friends. Within five minutes of making the call, three HART responders (Anne Dewdeney, Tony Anscombe and Dave Fletcher) were on the scene and took charge

of the situation. “They really do make a difference” said Erin. “With cardiac arrest you have a magic five minutes - I was extremely lucky that the HART responders arrived so quickly.” Erin spent a week at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath and then underwent further tests at Brighton Hospital and St Georges in Tooting, London. “I’ve had an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implanted in my heart just in case I have another attack but I’ve been fine since. I just need to be careful and not put my body under too much stress.” Malcolm Town from Lancing was also attended the event, looking fit and well after his recent health scare. As reported in our January edition, Malcolm was playing golf at Horton Golf Club in Small Dole back in October 2012 when he went into sudden cardiac arrest. Fortu-

nately for Malcolm he was playing golf with Martin Tooth, HART responder, who happened to have his defibrillator in the boot of his car. “I was very lucky that day,” said Malcolm. “The doctors told me it was a two million to one chance that I survived and it’s all down to HART and Martin in particular – without him I wouldn’t be here.” Despite the enormous success of HART over the past few years, Dave Fletcher is still looking towards the future: “There is an on-going demand; we want more Public Access Defibrillators (PADs), we want to deliver more training and we want to teach the community how to do CPR.” He concluded: “Eventually we want to build up a system where people will have the confidence to get down on the floor and do CPR.”

SERVICES THIS EASTER Have you seen any spring lambs in the fields yet? Woolly bundles of joy! They are a regular part of our spring and Easter imagery - but not all of the connotations are so pleasant. In the Exodus from Egypt, each escaping Hebrew family sacrificed a lamb to represent their own salvation. The “sacrificial lamb” became a phrase that passed into their language, and ours. As John the Baptist saw Jesus coming towards him, he said “behold the Lamb of God”. He recognised in Jesus a similar role being played out on the eternal stage of salvation. Jesus’s work is still remembered in our church services, where the ancient Latin liturgical phrase Agnus Dei, Lamb of God, is still used in translation: Jesus, Lamb of God, Have mercy on us. So when you see any lambs in the fields this year, remember too the cross on the hill; and the risen Jesus who’s work of salvation is now completed. And - Happy Easter from the Henfield churches!

A REVIEW OF OUR LAST SHOW

OLIVER! By Lionel Bart

Henfield Theatre Company presented four performances of Oliver! directed by Susanna Seaford, with musical direction by Jane Haines and choreography by Wendy Hoare, to full houses from 3 to 5 January.

Backed by a splendid and most accomplished band under the direction of Jane Haines, Susanna Seaford directed a most entertaining show, which deserved the acclaim of a very happy full house. In her programme notes the director referred to the qualities of the non-acting members of the Company. That praise was richly deserved, as everything from set design and construction to make-up and lighting was admirable. Toby Hinton’s performance as Oliver could not be faulted. He spoke and sang clearly, showed great confidence earning

the sympathy and support of the audience throughout. Mr. Bumble and Widow Corney worked well together and it was pleasing to see the business during I shall scream not taken to extremes. Mr. And Mrs. Sowerberry, Charlotte and Noah carried off their big scene admirably, each creating their individual characters well. Reuben Crawford-Clarke was a confident and capable Dodger with just the right laid-back approach to the role. Chris Whitehead gave a very calm and almost gentle interpretation of the role of Fagin. He worked extremely well with the children, showing just the right level of affection for them while keeping them firmly in their place. His diction was commendably clear throughout with only the very occasional drift from his accent.

Ellie Hill was a splendid Nancy. This is the one character that is required to show tenderness, defiance, uncertainty and fear all in the same evening and this Ellie managed very well. It was interesting to see Oom-Pah-Pah shared out, most effectively among the ladies. Ian Henham made a good Sykes. He was not simply evil, but maintained an angry, threatening presence enhanced by a most unpleasant appearance. All of the smaller roles were very sensitively played. The choruses worked well giving their all on every occasion with Who Will Buy as one of the musical highlights of the evening. Throughout the production the choreography and general movement about the stage of a very large Company was admirable. By Phillip Hall, National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA)

Charity | MARCH 2013

A

chance meeting led to an inspiring and eye opening trip for two Henfield women – Ann Clark and Ann Garmston took three weeks from their everyday village life to travel half way across the world to the island of Sumatra.

Ann Clark, a semi-retired special needs teacher and member of Billingshurst Rotary Club, met Katie Pavett from the charity The Children of Sumatra at her local Rotary meeting. Katie spoke passionately about the work of this small but incredibly effective charity, whose volunteers travel into the wilds of rural Sumatra to help those cut off from the opportunity of life changing surgery to correct cleft lip and palate. Along with other Rotarians in the group (who now actively fundraise for the charity) she was impressed by their tireless work towards restoring the smiles and a normal life to many forgotten children. When an opportunity arose to visit the country and work as a volunteer in the rehabilitation centre, Ann spoke with good friend and retired nurse Ann Garmston about the charity and they both decided to put their professional training to good use for the charity. The Children of Sumatra charity was launched 10 years ago, not only helping children from rural areas to access the skills of European doctors with their life changing surgery, but also to prepare them for surgery. In this poverty stricken country many children suffer from malnutrition and TB, so surgeons are unable to operate until they are well. This is where the Harapan Jaya Rehabilitation Centre comes in. The Centre, where Ann and Ann volunteered for three weeks, is a place where children can prepare and get well before

surgery and are supported after, as they recover and undergo speech and other therapies. Sometimes, when small children are abandoned (sadly this is often the case with ‘disfigured’ children) the centre will foster them until they can be adopted, helping them to become educated and rehabilitated. Ann and Ann spent three weeks living in very basic accommodation, nursing and caring for the children as they underwent surgery. The European surgeons (mainly from a Dutch university hospital, harking back to Dutch colonial links with Sumatra) visit the country to perform surgery over a one month period – performing some 200 operations during their visit. Both Ann and Ann are seasoned travellers and have volunteered previously. Ann Garmston spent two weeks in India five years ago helping with a women’s health charity. The conditions and environment in Sumatra were a shock to neither of them, although Ann remarked that the nursing conditions and equipment took her back to her training days in 1965, with antiquated traditions and a lack of the basic resources that we take for granted in the West. For example, surgical gloves are washed and recycled, wards are resemblent of 1950s Britain with old fashioned drip stands and rubber sheets. Entire families ‘camp out’ around the patients’ bed as they have travelled many miles to be there. Ann and Ann’s daily routine involved caring and nursing for the children who had just received surgery as well as preparing children who had just arrived from the furthest reaches of rural Sumatra to undergo procedures. Many of the children were too poorly

MARCH 2013 | Charity to undergo surgery. Despite language barriers, the women found themselves acting as a counselor to one young mother for whom there was, tragically, no hope for her small baby. The needs are extreme and provision is basic so they rolled up their sleeves and helped where they could, making friends and becoming attached to some wonderful characters who showed such bravery and joy, despite the problems that were thrown at them. Both Ann and Ann found enormous support for their visit from the Billingshurst Rotary Club as well as close friends and family, who donated clothes and equipment for their visit. Singapore Airlines were very generous with a large luggage allowance, allowing the women to transport the donated clothes, crutches and essentials to Sumatra. Not only that, they travelled back fairly light of luggage having left most of their clothing behind for the families of those who were being treated! Ann Garmston said, “The thing we were most struck by in Sumatra was the attitude of the children, their smiles were overwhelming, such beautiful children who were so joyful – we will never forget their smiles.� One young boy, called Hendri, they will never forget. Hendri and his father have live TB so Hendri was unable to be treated. The Children of Sumatra charity is supporting the family through treatment for the illness and they hope to return next year, well and ready to undergo surgery. There is taboo attached to facial deformity in many undeveloped countries and children who grow to be adults with cleft lip and palate have very little chance of enjoying a ‘normal’ existence unless they are lucky enough to undergo these fairly routine (and comparatively, to western standards) inexpensive surgical treatments. The change in these children is astonishing, with speech therapy they go on to lead useful lives and contribute to society. Otherwise, they are destined for a life on the periphery of society, with no chance of marriage and children and often ending up on the streets.

The Children of Sumatra are a small charity. Very little of the money donated ends up being used for fundraising and ‘admin’ and they do great work in a very costeffective way. They would be grateful for your support, helping to give smiles back to these beautiful children. For more details go to www.childrenofsumatra.org or call 0208 7493881. Emma Osman

HENFIELD U10’S MATCH REPORTS Crawley United v Henfield Henfield travelled to Crawley in cold, damp conditions on

Saturday 12 January to take on teams that had proved competitive opponents in previous meetings

HENFIELD LIGHTNING

George Sellwood, Sid Hamilton, Otto Schulter, Amon Ilda-Bowers, Reuben Freeman, Ollie Robertson, Josh Rudling

HENFIELD THUNDER JJ Angood (Capt),

Rufus Crawley, Ben Neale, Morgan Standing, Toby Bloomfield, Cameron King, Joshua Cridland Henfield made the early running when Morgan Standing found Ben Neale who played the ball onto JJ Angood who ran from midfield before firing a low shot beyond the keeper. Crawley fought back strongly but the away side doubled their advantage when Joshua Cridland and JJ Angood combined to find Toby Bloomfield to fire an unstoppable shot past the home keeper. Henfield continued to dominate possession and on the rare occasions when Crawley did break through, they couldn’t get past Rufus Crawley in goal. With the half reaching a conclusion JJ Angood scored again. Half time: Crawley United 0 v 3 Henfield. Henfield continued to dictate the game in the second half and Toby Bloomfield extended their lead with a shot from distance that nestled into the bottom corner of the net. At the other end a rare attack from the hosts was extinguished when Rufus Crawley rushed from his line to smother the ball bravely at the feet of an attacker. Another goal came when Morgan Standing won possession and found JJ Angood who played the ball onto Cameron King who beat his marker before firing beyond the keeper. Against the run of play the home side pulled a goal back but the visitor’s continued to pile on the pressure when Toby Bloomfield completed his hat-trick. The referee ended the game soon after to end a superb Thunder performance. Full Time: Crawley United 1 v 6 Henfield.

01273 494002

Crawley made the early running and Sid Hamilton was well placed to dispossess a forward before George Sellwood saved well from a low shot. Henfield fought back and took a deserved lead when Otto Schulter’s clearance found Reuben Freeman who burst through the Crawley defence before firing beyond the keeper. Crawley fought back strongly and only a sliding challenge from Sid Hamilton kept them at bay. When they did break through George Sellwood reacted quickly to save. With the first half drawing to a conclusion it was Henfield who continued to finish the stronger with Reuben Freeman and Josh Rudling both forcing the Crawley keeper into making saves and Ollie Robertson repelling the home side at the other end. Half time: Crawley United 0 v 1 Henfield. The second half began with Ollie Robertson taking over in goal and George Sellwood moving into the midfield. Crawley brought on three of their first team players to try and nullify Henfield’s superiority. Henfield doubled their lead when Amon IldaBowers burst down the wing before finding George Sellwood who saw his well struck shot saved but Josh Rudling following up, slotting in the rebound. Crawley then put Henfield under an intense period of pressure but excellent challenges from Sid Hamilton and Otto Schulter kept them at bay. Henfield’s resistance was finally broken when Crawley broke through to score. Crawley continued to push and eventually drew level. With the game drawing to a conclusion and Henfield proving good value for the draw, the game was cruelly snatched from them when Ollie Robertson saved another shot but with the visitor’s unable to clear, a forward pounced to fire home with virtually the last kick of the game. Full time: Crawley United 3 v 2 Henfield.

The “Other” ISA Allowance

H

This leaves anyone with savings with an often uncomfortable three way choice – accept that your money is losing its value, spend your money now before it loses its value or invest in real assets that have the potential for a real return. If you feel this low interest rate policy is bullying you into picking one of the last two then the Bank of England has done its job perfectly because ow much is your ISA allowance increasing to for that’s exactly what they want everyone to do to stimuthe 2013-14 tax year? If like most people you late the economy.

answered £5,760 you are wrong by 100%. That is the maximum that can be paid into a Cash ISA. The total allowance is increasing to £11,520. However, to utilise this full allowance you will have to make use of an Investment ISA.

The Investment ISA is very often missed, even by those who pride themselves on using their allowance on 6th April each year, but why? For one, they are subject to much less marketing than the Cash ISAs. Secondly, I think they are deliberately ignored by many because they are perceived as risky. In my opinion, in the current market, the real risk is keeping everything in cash. There is no getting away from the fact that any investment that pays more than a savings account will have the potential to fall as well as rise, i.e. you can lose money. But currently, with a one year fixed rate bond you are guaranteed to lose money! The top one year fixed rate bond on the market pays 2.25%, whereas inflation, as measured by the consumer prices index (CPI), is 2.7%. Let’s suppose you have £10,000 in the bank, you can either buy £10,000 worth of goods and services or put it in a one year bond. If you choose the bond, in a years’ time your money will have increased to £10,225. However, assuming inflation remains the same it would cost £10,270 to buy the same goods and services that cost £10,000 a year ago. If you only have £10,225, you have in fact lost £45. This compares to five years ago when you could get a one year fixed rate bond paying over 7% while inflation was 2.5%, meaning that over a year you would have made £450 in real terms on your £10,000.

All that said, you should always remember that investing is for the long term and that the value of your investments can, and at times will, fall. It is essential you keep an easily accessible emergency fund and for that you have little choice but to use a loss-making savings account. However, if you want your hard earned money to stand a real chance of retaining its real value then investing in real assets is your only real option. The “other” ISA allowance may be a good way of starting to do this.

Business | MARCH 2013

The search for success T

here are approximately 4.5 million small businesses in the UK providing 13.7 million jobs, half the private sector workforce in 2011. However, while Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are important, it is their durability that carries even greater significance. The precarious nature of SME existence has been well documented. Only about 65% of small businesses are still trading after the first three years of initial start-up. After five years, less than 45% of businesses have survived. Much of the research into small firms has focused on their failure. The danger of this approach is that it identifies what has gone wrong, but may fail to discover what businesses need to do right.

In conjunction with the University of Surrey, Kingston Smith recently commissioned a major research study into the triggers that lead to SME success, to highlight more effective strategy decisions for firms themselves, and to inform better policy decisions for government. A return of over 1,000 survey questionnaires completed by SME owners/directors or senior managers, 20 in depth interviews and 14 focus groups, makes this one of the largest surveys into the strategic management of SMEs in the UK. Launched by the Rt. Hon. Michael Fallon MP., Minister of State for Business and Enterprise, ‘Success in Challenging Times: Key Lessons for UK SMEs’ is now available for download (at www.ks.co.uk) or in hard copy. Among the topics examined during the project were: what success looks like for SMEs; how successful businesses cope with new competition and market fluctuations; and how significant digital media is to gaining a competitive advantage.

• Reinvesting profit (68%) • Personal/family savings (39%) • Bank loan (29%) • The attitude of SMEs towards banks ranges from disappointment to contempt. Cash flow and liquidity: Successful SMEs proactively monitor their cash flow and liquidity • SMEs with larger numbers of employees recognise the importance of the broad range of success factors (e.g. planning, sales, marketing, managing people, having a web site, using social media) alongside cash flow. Social capital, social media and the web: Successful SMEs consider direct referrals and search engine optimisation as central to their success • SMEs with smaller numbers of employees place greater importance on direct referrals. • 44% of SMEs consider LinkedIn important to their continuing success; 33% consider Twitter important. Innovation: Successful SMEs are willing to find new ways of doing things and encourage their employees to think and behave innovatively • SMEs are significantly more likely to be innovative than competitively aggressive, proactive in the market or risk taking.

KEY FINDINGS

Finance: Successful SMEs are likely to use more than one source of finance to both start and sustain their business • Most SMEs only use one source of finance to start the business, the main source being personal/family savings with a smaller proportion using bank loans. • The main sources of finance used by SMEs to fund their businesses now are:

MARCH 2013 | Business Learning orientation: Successful SMEs believe that learning gives them competitive advantage • Newer SMEs are more committed to learning • SMEs with less than 5 employees are significantly more likely to have a shared vision. • SMEs with larger numbers of employees are more likely to learn from crises. Advice and support: Successful SMEs are more willing to seek external advice • Most SMEs seek external advice on their website (including search engine optimisation). • SMEs with larger numbers of employees are more likely to purchase external advice on managing people and developing management skills. Outsourcing and exporting: Successful SMEs have the flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions • SMEs with larger numbers of employees view exporting as important to their continuing success. • Half of SMEs outsource some of their activities, including: accountancy (payroll and bookkeeping), IT and web development, HR and marketing.
