Shoreham Beach played a pioneering role in the development of the film industry.
In 1914 Francis Lyndhurst formed the Sunny South Film Company with comedians Will Evans, George Graves and Arthur Conquest. In their first year they made four films ‘Building A Chicken House’, ‘The Jockey’, ‘Harnessing A Horse’ and ‘The Showman’s Dream’. In 1915, Francis Lyndhurst had a glasshouse studio built on a site close to The Church Of The Good Shepherd.
The Progress Film Company took over the site in 1919 and up to 1922, made a total of seventeen films there. Sidney Morgan, also gave Shoreham its first film star, his daughter Joan Morgan. She was born in Forest Hill, South East London and went to school in Richmond upon Thames.
Joan Morgan was only her teens when she began staring in her father’s films at Shoreham, though she had previously been a child actress. Her stage debut was at London’s Apollo Theatre in ‘A Pierrot’s Christmas’. She continued to juggle theatre and film acting throughout the 1920s.
Joan Morgan’s first film was ‘The Cup Final Mystery’ and was made in 1913. In 1917 Joan Morgan played Ellen Terry’s granddaughter in the film ‘Her Greatest Performance’. She can be seen in ‘A Lowland Cinderella’ (made in 1921) which was shot around Steyning, and is still sometimes shown locally today. It is the only one of her films to exist as a complete, intact copy. She also took the lead in a silent version of ‘Dickens’ ‘Little Dorrit’, and starred in thirty plus movies including: ‘The Children Of Gideon’, ‘Sweet and Twenty’, ‘Two Little Wooden Shoes’, ‘Lady Noggs’ ‘The Scarlet Wooing’, ‘The Lilac Sunbonnet’ and ‘Fires Of Innocence’.
In 1922 Sidney and Joan Morgan made an adaptation of H Rider Haggard’s ‘Swallow’ on location in South Africa, following up with ‘Shadow Of Egypt’ the next year, where Joan thoroughly enjoyed being on location. When her parents split up in 1926, she lived with her mother but was to make two final films with her father, ‘A Window in Piccadilly’ (1928) and ‘Her Reputation’ her first talking picture in 1931.
In the 1920s, silent films were also beginning to be made in Hollywood. Joan Morgan was offered a contract by a studio there but stayed in the UK on
her father’s wishes.
‘Not being allowed to go was my one major regret,’ she said later. Sidney Morgan and his production company were unable to compete with the large American studios.
From 1929 Joan Morgan switched to writing novels, plays and film and TV scripts. Her novels were written under both her own name and the pen names Iris North and Joan Wentworth Wood. Her play ‘This Was A Woman’ had a run in the West End before being adapted into a feature film. Joan Morgan’s novel ‘The Hanging Wood’ (1950) was adapted for the ‘A Question Of Guilt’ TV series in 1977.
Joan Morgan’s first feature film as a writer ‘Contraband Love was a 1931 crime thriller. Directed by her father it was shot at Elstree and on location in Cornwall. In 1932 her war film the ‘The Flag Lieutenant’ starred Anna Neagle and was based on a play by William Price Drury. A versatile writer her ten produced films also included comedies and a musical. She died in Henley-onThames in Oxfordshire in 2004

Retiring early is an aspiration for many workers looking forward to greater freedom. If early retirement is something you’re dreaming about, a survey suggests financial planning could help you turn it into a reality.
A Standard Life study found, on average, people receiving financial advice plan to retire at 66 –three years earlier than those that aren’t seeking professional guidance.
The survey also suggests that those working with a financial planner are more confident about their finances in retirement. Advised workers believe their pension and other assets can fund their lifestyle for 23 years. Among those not taking advice, this falls to 17 years.
A financial plan could boost your wellbeing in retirement too.
A huge 96% of people who said they did a “great deal” of financial planning before retiring say they are enjoying the next chapter of their life. In comparison, 72% of people who didn’t do any financial planning said the same.
1. It can help you create a long-term plan: Often, you’ll be saving for retirement over decades. The long time frame can make it difficult to
understand if you’re doing enough to retire when you want.
As well as calculating if you’re contributing enough to your pension, you may need to consider how investment returns will affect its value, or how you could use other assets to create an income. A financial plan can pull together all these different aspects.
2. It can highlight ways to get the most out of your money: The funds you need to build to create a sustainable income for retirement can be daunting, especially if you hope to retire sooner than average.
One of the ways a financial plan can add value is by highlighting how to get the most out of your money.
3. It can give you the confidence to take the next step: Retiring early successfully isn’t just about ensuring you have your finances in order – you need to prepare mentally too.
It can be more difficult than you expect to give up work. A retirement plan that’s been tailored to you can give you the confidence to take the plunge and retire when you’re ready.

On Wednesday, 14th June the Tuk Tuk adventurers landed back on British soil. Helen Hitchcock, one of Safe in Sussex’s patrons and her team of adventurers took on 1100 kms across India in their Tuk Tuks in aid of Safe in Sussex.
The teams on the Deccan Odyssey, were Team Mowgli Helen Hitchcock and Sarah Hand, Team Duk Duks , Amanda Duke and son Tom, Team Chuggabug Anna Tidey and Yas Rajeebally, Team Tatum Deb and Daughter Emma Tatum.. They drove from the sandy beaches of the Arabian Seas, through the mountains of the Western Ghats down to the busy city of Mumbai in their Tuk Tuks. Helen Hitchcock, owner of Sakala, a gift shop in Steyning which sells ethically sourced items from India said “What a blast, fantastic and teamwork, we started as 8 individuals and came back as 1 team… Everyone brings a different skill and we function as 1. Our little bugs caused a stir through the villages and on the highways of Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra. It was tiring, dusty, but exciting, challenging and just overall amazing. But most of all we have raised awareness of the issues around Domestic Abuse generally and specifically in Sussex. Our total so far £17,000...!”
The organisers give out awards every year… Team Sakala (which was all 8 of them) won the Charity award, and for winning all the other teams donated to our just giving page, which was fabulous.
The adventures have had Sponsorship from Tatum Racing, Arundel Care Services, Arri, Visual impact VI Rental, Anton Bauer, Chandler Kent, Private Wealth Mortgages, Goldings Barn Garage, Steyning Post Office, Tuk Tuk Shop, Sakala and 24-7 Drama and the public have been very supportive.
To celebrate the return of the Tuk Tuk Adventurers a colourful Shocking Shirts and Funky
Frocks Garden Party on Sunday, 25th June at Sussex Prairie Garden, Henfield. As well as the beautiful garden to enjoy, there will be live folk music, Indian goodies to buy and a tombola. Shocking Shirts & Funky Frocks - The Indian Finale- for Safe in Sussex - Sussex Prairie Garden (sussexprairies.co.uk)
Sharon Howard, Safe in Sussex’s CEO said “Wow, what a phenomenal achievement for Team Sakala. We are delighted the amount raised will enable us to refurbish the garden at one of our refuges, this will create a nicer space for children to play and we can now buy two desperately needed for the refuges too. We are incredibly grateful to Helen and her team for completing the challenge and raising much needed funds for our charity”

It is possible to ‘read’ the passage of time, of movements, cultures and peoples in the architecture and art forms evident in many of our older English country churches. This lecture takes us from the pre-Christian era through the arrival of the Romans and onwards to the sixteenth
century and the epoch changing Tudors. Nicholas illustrates through his extensive research the great social changes that took place over the centuries and gives simple indicators to identify churches with Roman and Saxon origins.
A graduate of Selwyn College, Cambridge, Nicholas trained for the Anglican ministry at Ripon Hall, Oxford. Inspired by a period working on the staff of Coventry Cathedral he has gained a wide experience of international matters. He lectures regularly and currently works as a parish priest in West London.

My name is Conrad; as a volunteer, I lead the SWIM Cambodia charity from my home office in Shoreham-by-Sea. Hearing about a boy called Ravi, who died from drowning at 12 years old, led me to start drowning prevention in Cambodia with a vision for every child in Cambodia to live safely.
Since 2017, we have trained volunteers and partners to teach Drowning Dangers, Water Safety, and CPR education and skills to children, young people, parents, and carers. This year we hope to raise enough funds to employ a small team of teachers to teach Water Safety, CPR, and basic swimming skills. Two days ago, I heard in the Cambodian news that two girls died from drowning after they had gone looking for snails in the Mekong River. The girls were just 6 and 12 years old. It was thought the girls were finding snails to help their parents make money when they got into difficulty in a rapidly flowing part of the river. The education provided by SWIM Cambodia aims to prevent tragedies such as these, focusing on drowning dangers and how to keep yourself and others safe in-and-around
the water.
Let me know if you would like me to speak at an event or to support you with a fundraiser for SWIM Cambodia. Let me know if you can help in any way.
As well as seeking fundraisers, we are seeking a volunteer administrator and finance lead.
If you are interested in supporting us and would like to know more, please get in touch with me.

We were delighted to receive so many positive comments following publication of our last newsletter - it is very encouraging to know that so many people found the concise and comprehensive information on contacting our centres of such value. In a similar vein, we would like to share with you information about the new role of Kirstie Douglas. Kirstie spoke at a recent Patient Engagement Group meeting and provided a really informative account of her position at Manor Practice We were delighted to hear about this important new role providing much needed support to our doctors at a time when there is such a nationwide shortage of GPs We hope that you will understand our enthusiasm for Kirstie's appointment once you have read her opening article
Your Patient Engagement Group and AHP
Hello to all! My name is Kirstie Douglas and I am a Physician Associate (PA), which is a new role to AHP. What is this, you may ask? (I get this question a lot!!!)
PAs are seen as a “new” role, however, we have been established in the NHS since 2003 and were first introduced into the country by US-trained PAs.
Physician Associates are healthcare professionals, who work as part of the multidisciplinary team alongside doctors both in GP surgeries and hospital specialties. They see a wide variety of conditions (acute and chronic) and can see patients of any age. They have a defined scope of practice including: diagnosing patients, carrying out physical examinations, providing health promotion, delivering treatment and management plans and requesting/interpreting diagnostic studies.
Currently, PAs are not allowed to request ionising radiation nor prescribe medications (although this is subject to change in the future); however, doctor colleagues support these tasks as appropriate PAs work under the supervision of a GP or consultant, although they can work relatively autonomously dependent on their experience
All working PAs in the UK are a member of the Managed Voluntary Register which is held by the Faculty of Physician Associates From next year, PAs will be regulated by the General Medical Council which is the regulator of doctors, allowing for greater potential and maximising contribution to patient care as part of the wider medical workforce
To tell you a little about me personally: I graduated from St George’s Medical School in 2018 and have since worked in both hospital and GP surgery settings, and in medical education at local universities I also work with NHS England as a Physician Associate Ambassador, promoting the role and increasing PA recruitment in the South East. I have also recently been helping to supervise two PA students from Brighton and Sussex Medical School who have been on placement with AHP.
My specialist interest is paediatrics although I am competent to see all ages, with on the day and pre-bookable appointments available at Manor Practice where I am based. I have been receiving some lovely positive feedback from patients that I have seen so far, and my role has been embraced by all so hopefully the PA role will grow in this area!
These updates are from University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust (previously Western Sussex Hospitals when it became a Foundation Trust) and relate to what is happening at our local hospitals, which AHP's patients are often referred to for secondary assessments or treatments.
Much development has been taking place across all 7 hospitals within the Trust, but the major difference is the construction of the Louisa Martindale Building at Royal Sussex County Hospital This is now nearing completion and patients will be moved into the new building in the next couple of months There is far too much to describe in this newsletter, but anyone who is interested can visit the Trust's website for the latest information https://www uhsussex nhs uk/about/trust/improvement-projects/lmb/
During the last few months much concern has been shown about the NHS plan to close stroke services at Worthing Hospital and move the Acute Stroke Unit to St Richards Hospital in Chichester. A twelve week public consultation took place where everyone had a chance to express their views. More than 1000 people responded and these will be taken into account when decisions are made later this year. More details on the plan are available on https://www.uhsussex.nhs.uk/news/more-than-1000-stroke-survey-responses-received/
Closer to home is the development of the Southlands Site. Aside from the excellent eye clinic many other treatments and therapies already take place at Southlands, as well as two operating theatres carrying out day surgery Many people are surprised to hear that dermatological treatments take place as well as cardio physiotherapy, occupational therapy, blood tests and many clinics
Plans to develop a new Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) at Southlands Hospital in Shoreham-by-Sea are continuing, with a new facility scheduled to open in the Autumn 2023
The CDC is designed to offer efficient and more local access to MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and CT (Computerised Tomography) scanners, as well as a host of other diagnostic specialist equipment and expertise. Separated from emergency care provided in other nearby hospitals, planned imaging and diagnostic services at Southlands will be less affected by urgent requests from Emergency Departments, resulting in less disruption to patient appointments and procedures.
The development of the new department within the hospital will replace the temporary mobile MRI and CT scanners where space and waiting areas are very limited and the X-Ray department will be fully refurbished.
These are becoming more common, particularly in countryside areas
Minimise the risk - apply insect repellant prior to walking in high risk areas and use footpaths rather than walk through long grass and foliage Cover your skin where possible, wear full length trousers rather than shorts and wear long sleeved tops. Tuck clothes in. Wear socks.
Always check yourself and others, including dogs, for ticks after walking in high risk countryside. If you find a tick on skin remove with fine tweezers ensuring that the whole insect is removed.
If you are bitten - remove the tick including its head, clean the site with soapy water and use a cold compress and/or elevation of limb to reduce swelling and pain. Apply antihistamine cream or take antihistamine tablets as directed. Tick bites may, but not always, cause itching and swelling.
Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection that can lead to the inflammation of joints and neurological problems
This happens rarely but it is crucial that you are aware of the symptoms and seek immediate medical help Symptoms of the disease include a rash around the site of the bite that is oval in shape and flu like symptoms.

Adur & Worthing Councils is working with Southern Water and the TellJO service to contact 5,000 of the most in-need residents to help them get even more support with the cost of living.
From thursday 22nd of June, TellJo, a Shoreham-based company, will begin contacting residents in Adur and Worthing who access Council Tax support and Housing Benefit to try to identify those vulnerable to debt and find ways to tackle the root causes of the problem.
The TellJO service works by sending a text message, email or phone call to residents identified as at risk of debt to check if they are okay. Respondents are then asked to complete a short online wellbeing assessment to understand the issues they are facing and what can be done about it.
Anyone that requests support with their water bills will then be contacted by Southern Water to see if they are eligible for additional assistance, including access to a hardship fund, discounts on their bills or to agree a payment scheme.
Depending on their individual needs, residents will also be signposted to organisations that can offer specialised support with debt advice, energy bills and help with issues including mental health conditions, drug or alcohol problems, or domestic abuse. The project is part of the Councils’ Proactive initiative, which uses pioneering database technology to help us identify at an early stage people who may not be coping financially, so that we can offer appropriate help quickly and efficiently.
Cllr Kevin Boram, Adur’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Wellbeing, said:
“TellJO enables us to identify and reach those who may be struggling so we can help them as quickly as possible. We have been partnering with local company TellJO since November and have already helped lots of people set up fair payment plans, access support or apply for benefits they are entitled to. It’s great to see companies like Southern Water engaging with the scheme.”
Cllr Carl Walker, the Deputy Leader of WorthingBorough Council, said:
“Many people are still struggling with the increased cost of living and may not be aware of all of the help available. The TellJO service offers a holistic approach that focuses not only on missed payments, but lets people know where to get support with the wider causes of debt.”
Dominic Maxwell, founder of TellJO, said:
“We are thrilled to work with Adur & Worthing Councils and Southern Water. Our goal is to proactively help residents facing hardship access the support and reduced tariffs they need. Through the TellJO digital wellbeing assessment, we engage with residents and guide them towards positive outcomes.”
Katy Taylor, Southern Water’s Chief Customer Officer, said:
“We hope as a result of working with Adur and Worthing Councils and TellJO we are able to support more of our customers who may be struggling to pay their bills. We want customers to be aware of the range of support packages we have available to help them.”
To find out more about accessing help from Southern Water see:
What if I can’t pay my bill? - on the Southern Water website Or for information on help available with the cost of living see: Cost of living support (on Adur website)
The app, which has been created in partnership with West Sussex County Council, aims to make life simpler by allowing residents to check a range of Council services in one place.
A handy collection day reminder function gives residents the option to set up a phone notification to prompt them to put their bins out either the night before or on the day of their collection.
Adur & Worthing Councils will also be using the app to send targeted push notifications to keep residents informed if their collection is unfortunately missed, due to issues like road closures or vehicle breakdowns.
Lifestyle and leisure features like a map of local places to eat with the best food hygiene ratings and where to find the closest car park, public toilet or children’s play area can also be found on the app.
The app lets residents tell the Councils about service issues, including missed bins or if there has been any fly-tipping or graffiti in their area. Any problems at local parks, streets and beaches can also be reported on the app, allowing Councils’ staff to deal with issues more quickly.
To help reduce the amount of recycling going in the general waste bin, the app features a simple search function that lets residents check whether their rubbish can be recycled or not. The app can also be used to check recycling centre opening times as well as book a slot.
Cllr Emma Evans, Adur’s Cabinet Member for the Environment and Leisure, said:
“This app is a useful tool that will help us to keep residents better informed about any service issues and the latest news from the Councils much more quickly and effectively.”
Cllr John Turley, Worthing’s Cabinet Member for Resources including Digital, said:
“This app already helps residents across West Sussex and rolling it out in Worthing will help us
communicate directly with the community on the things that affect their everyday life. Importantly, it allows residents to report issues back to the Council including street cleaning, missed bin collections or broken benches - all of the basics that are so important to residents.”
There’s a huge difference in the kind of home care you can receive from someone who really understands what your life is like. The concerns you have, the need for independence. At Seniors Helping Seniors care is provided by someone experienced who has a little living under his or her belt.
Forgetting your bin day should be a thing of the past thanks to a new smartphone app that has launched in Adur and Worthing.
The summer holidays may be a time when many activities for children and families take a break, but at St Mary de Haura it’s quite the opposite!
This year there is a range of activities for children of different ages in the church and churchyard. A highlight of the calendar at St Mary’s is the annual Teddy Bear’s Picnic, held on the first Sunday of August at 4pm. Bring along a teddy and enjoy song, craft, story time and refreshments – all within the beautiful setting of the churchyard. (We can’t promise the sunshine but have been lucky year-on-year with the weather and are hoping to continue our winning streak!).
Meanwhile, two of our regular and most popular activities for children and families continue during the summer holidays.
Mary’s Music – our weekly group for singing and music making for preschool children and grown-ups – takes place on Monday 7th August, 10-10.4am, for a ‘summer special’ involving lots of songs and rhymes and bubbles in the churchyard. And Toddler Time – our popular toddler
group which runs in the church – will take place on Wednesday 16th August at 10am. Join us in church for songs, craft, parachute fun and more!
Finally, on Monday 21st August from 10.30am to 1.00pm we invite you to join us for a Family Walk, starting at St Mary de
It only costs £10 a year to support the maintenance and restoration of this beautiful building in the heart of Shoreham
Join today on The Friends page: www.stmarydehaura.org.uk
Haura church and finishing at the Church of the Good Shepherd on Shoreham Beach. Again, there will be parachute fun, games and crafts. Bring along a picnic!
As with all services and events at St Mary’s, these events are open to all. We warmly welcome people from across the community, whatever your faith or belief, to join us for these free family activities. As a church at the centre of the town, we are proud to place our facilities, staff and volunteers in the service of the local community and to offer a warm and generous welcome to all.
To support our aim of serving the Shoreham community, could you help us by joining the Friends of St Mary’s? This network of friends and supporters costs only £10 a year to join, but provides much-needed funds for the maintenance of our historic and beautiful building, allowing us to keep it open every day of the year for the whole community to enjoy.

Shoreham FC Women finished their first season in third place in the Sussex County WSL Premier Division scoring 86 goals over the season! An incredible feat after only forming as a team last Summer.
Managers Harry Perkins and Chris Harris approached Shoreham Football Club, who gladly took them in, wanting to enjoy the success of Women’s Football after the England Lionesses won the Euros in July.
The team consists of a great blend of young and experienced players. They were placed in Division One, the league structured by a Premier Division, and the first and second divisions of Sussex teams. After some impressive high-scoring results, the league asked them if they would move up a Division, so the Shoreham FC women’s team was promoted mid-season!
A higher division meant more challenging games against more experienced teams. Still, everyone
pulled together to work on fitness and commitment; the third place is a respectable achievement for this newly formed team.
To top off the season, the team reached the County Cup semi-finals and won the League Challenge Cup Final!
One of the young players, Amber Hazelwood, scored a first-half hat trick and won Player of the Match.
Shoreham FC Women play at Middle Road in Shoreham, and we are looking for new players. If you are interested, message us on our socials, Facebook or Insta or email: shorehamfcwomen@ gmail.com.
Angela Darton (Fitness Coach)
Jenny Davys, registered osteopath at Shoreham Osteopathy Centre, looks at how unhappy hips can really slow us down…
Where does it hurt?
Hip pain is usually felt in the back and side of the upper thigh, as well as the front of the pelvis and groin. Sometimes it travels down to the knee, or even further down the leg. It can present as stiffness, aching, catching or “giving way” and can make daily life really difficult.
What exactly is the hip?
It is a ball-and-socket joint, the ball being the spherical head of the femur (thigh bone), the socket a curved area of the pelvis called the acetabulum. Ligaments hold it together, thick cartilage (the labrum) surrounds the socket, and muscles move it in all directions. All or any of these structures could be involved in your pain. Hip problems include:
• Osteoarthritis – inflammation often occurs with ageing, as our bodies become less good at remodelling the smooth cartilage covering joint surfaces. Early osteoarthritis may be a congenital problem, or happen from injury and sudden trauma, or conditions such as impingement
• Tears, sprains and strains - in ligaments, labrum or tendons, ie tendonitis of the hip muscles, eg deep flexors (iliopsoas)
• Bursitis – inflammation of fluid sacs in the joint
• Fractures – from trauma eg falls, or osteoporosis
• Dislocation – from trauma or dysplasia (shallow hip socket)
NB: If you have sudden onset of severe hip pain, swelling, heat or inability to weight-bear, seek immediate medical help.
Some general tips:
• Sitting for long periods can affect hip muscle function – eg your gluteals switch “off” and your hip flexors tighten
• Movement improves bloodflow and reduces inflammation, so is almost always beneficial. Pain does not always equal
damage, but severe pain should be investigated. Talk to your GP about pain relief.
• Keep a good level of overall fitness and joint mobility - your feet, knees, spine and pelvis all work together with the hip.
• Practice balancing on one leg.. in a safe place! This strengthens the gluteal muscles that support your hip. Other good exercises include the bridge, side-lying leg lifts and squats – but do get advice on this.
• A 15% reduction in body mass has been shown to reduce arthritic pain levels by up to 50% - so if you need to lose weight, this might help.
• Osteoarthritis does not always progress to hip replacement. Sometimes pain will remain mild and manageable.
• Qualified manual therapists such as osteopaths and physiotherapists can really help alleviate many types of hip pain and know when to refer you for other interventions.

These three images from my holiday in Fuerteventura last year are all displaying a simplicity of design.
The ‘trick’ is to identify and isolate a small rectangle of interest and to ensure to exclude the extraneous detail which may lurk alongside.
Each image has a focal point and has contrast of colour or tone, two with opposing geometric shapes and one with a geometric shape - the window - contrasted by the organic shape of the plant shadow.
Importantly, no people appear to break the simplicity. I usually like to include a human figure but in the case of these photographs, they would be surplus to requirements and would lend a totally different vibe to these spaces. All three were taken in relatively quiet back streets where many holiday makers would not think to roam and some photographers may not expect to capture images but these are the places which I always explore as they often offer little gems of real life rather than
the glitzy beach bars and well documented seafronts which can be stuffed with activity but are often a little too busy to get satisfying images.
Of course, you may need to be patient, wait for people to move through the scene and occasionally even identify the potential of a scene but return
turn visit to capture the shadow in the ideal osition may be necessary. When I first stumbled across this scene, the shadow partly fell across the window sill, I decided I wanted a space between these two elements of the image so I walked around for a while, returning when the light had changed slightly and the all
at a different time of day when the light is coming from a preferential direction. For instance, the plant shadow will move with the sun so a re-
important separation had happened.

Dream Productions, the newly launched production company dedicated to bringing entertainment to Sussex, has announced an exciting lineup of tribute acts that are set to grace the stages of charitable venues in the region.
Following the success of their recent shows, Suspiciously Elvis at the Henfield Hall and Hometown Glory, a tribute to Adele at The Shoreham Centre, Dream Productions continues to captivate audiences with their carefully curated performances. One of the highly anticipated acts is the tribute to the iconic Amy Winehouse, fully endorsed by Amy’s parents themselves. Fans of the late soulful songstress will have the opportunity to relive her incredible talent and unique sound through this exceptional tribute act. It promises to be a moving and heartfelt experience, paying homage to one of the greatest voices in contemporary music.
For fans of classic rock, Dream Productions presents The 3agles, an authentic tribute to the legendary band, The Ea-
gles. Audiences can expect to be taken on a musical journey with the timeless hits that have defined the rock genre for decades. From “Hotel California” to “Take It Easy,” The 3agles will recreate the magic and nostalgia that made The Eagles a global sensation.
In celebration of the legendary Buddy Holly, Dream Productions brings “It’s All About Buddy,” a tribute act that pays homage to the pioneering rock ‘n’ roll icon. Audiences will be transported back to the golden era of the 1950s as they enjoy the timeless classics of Buddy Holly, including “Peggy Sue,” “That’ll Be the Day,” and “Everyday.” Prepare to be immersed in the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll as this tribute act brings Buddy Holly’s music to life.
Rounding off the impressive
lineup is The Boy George Experience, endorsed by none other than the iconic Boy George himself. Fans of Culture Club and the flamboyant ‘80s pop scene will revel in this tribute act’s energetic and authentic performance. From “Karma Chameleon” to “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” audiences will be treated to a nostalgic and vibrant celebration of Boy George’s music and style. These tribute acts, carefully selected by Dream Productions, will be hosted at various charitable venues throughout Sussex. By choosing these venues, Dream Productions aims to not only provide exceptional entertainment but also contribute to the support of local charities and trusts, fostering a sense of community while fulfilling their mission.
Sunday 4th June saw the Lions Annual Family Fun Day in Buckingham Park, Shoreham, which was their biggest ever event!
A small committee of Lions Members plan the event over the proceeding year and thankfully it went off without a hitch (ie certainly no problems with rain this year)!
Together with Coles Fun Fair, Mike Bird’s Bouncy Castles, over 115 Classic Cars (plus 5 Fire Engines & 5 Army Vehicles) and our usual Donkey Rides, there were over 40 Stalls, selling a variety of craft and country items (even artisan Gin)! Arena Events, such as the Samba Band and Rosario Gracia’s Afro-Brazilian Dancing kept the crowds entertained throughout the afternoon. We also had all day demonstrations from The Vikings, Shoreham Allstars, Shoreham Fort Society and 1066 Falconry. Children’s entertainment such as Magic shows, Punch & Judy and Face Painting also went down a treat, not to mention the Lions Tea & Cake Tent, Beer Tent (provided by our neighbouring Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions Club) and the numerous other food and refreshment vans on site. My personal favourite is always a cool blue Slushie! Various photos show just a fraction of the fun, courtesy of Southwick Camera Club, who are another of our regular attendees.
Along with the Lions usual Games, such as Wine & Water, Hook a Duck, Higher/Lower and our new (battery-operated) Racing Rabbits Game, the Lions also ran their first ever Dog Show - which, by all accounts, was a resounding success and attended by many well-behaved pooches. Best in Show (who also came top for Waggiest Tail), was won by the lovely red fawn Vizsla, pictured here with their owner and the Technical Director of Higgidy, Tessa Bissonnet (photo courtesy of Southwick Camera Club).
The Lions could not run this event without the help and support of many additional organisations. Whether that’s our local businesses who advertised in the Family Fun Day Programme, Higgidy for sponsoring our Dog Show, or the many young volunteers helping to get our tents & gazebo’s up; staking out
several arena’s or helping to park cars litter pick throughout the long day, such as the Air Training Cadets (ATC), or the Southwick Scouts. After all expenses have been paid (and there are many), it’s anticipated that we will have raised just over £6,500 which will be held in our Charity Account. This money is then used to provide much needed assistance in our local community.
If you would like to learn more about us (or help us plan next year’s event), we always have a stall at the Shoreham Artisan Market on the fourth Saturday of the month. The next Market is on 22nd July and we would love to have a chat, when you can find out more about us, what else we do and how we distribute the money we raise. Alternatively, check out our Facebook page at www. facebook.com/AdurEastLionsClub or call us on 0345 833 7356
Finally, thanks again Shoreham, Fishersgate and Southwick for helping support this event. We couldn’t do it without you. x
Plans to improve coastal defences in Shoreham on Basin Road South to give residents and businesses better protection from the sea have been given the green light.
A protective layer of rock will be built on part of the seafront on the adjoining edge of the beach on Basin Road South in front of Barrett Steel and Solent Wharf at Shoreham Port.
It will be approximately 740 metres in length, between 8.6 and 11.8 metres in depth and will range from two to three metres in height.The work is part of a larger project known as the Brighton Marina to River Adur Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy (FCERM) to improve the town’s defences from rising sea levels, flooding and coastal erosion.
Steve Neocleous, Adur District Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Strategic Planning, said:
“Climate change is having a real impact on rising sea levels on our coastline and rivers and it is imperative we try to guard as best we can against this to protect residents and businesses.
“This long-term project is hugely important in helping safeguard the town’s economy now and into the future
and by working with other partners we hope this can do just that.”
The scheme includes six different locations within Shoreham and Brighton and this particular scheme is designed to offer more protection to land in Adur from the threat of erosion, including residential areas, Southwick Beach car park and local businesses.As part of the plans there will also be a new three-metre wide footpath stretching approximately 545 metres in length, as well as a new beach access ramp and steps at locations yet to be decided. The current footpath will be unaffected during construction.Some of the existing timber and steel groynes which are no longer effective on Southwick Beach will be removed.
