Welcome to our September issue. Parents will be busy preparing for the return of ironing school uniforms, fixing nutritious packed lunches, and enduring endless school runs. It’s back to work and to our clubs and societies for many of us after a summer break.

September can feel like a new start, so why not take the opportunity to do something different this autumn? You could spend some time sprucing up your home and preparing for the colder months ahead. There are so many businesses in your local community that could help you complete some of those tasks on your to -do list, from fixing that leak to garden clearance, gutter cleaning to roof repair.

We have lots of events happening in the local area this autumn, and we have a new look to our website for you to either add your own events or to see what is going on. You can even upload your own photos to help promote your event now.

Enjoy the start of the autumn!

Ferring Cricket Club celebrates 160th anniversary

On the 22nd July, Ferring Cricket Club celebrated its 160th anniversary. On this day in 1864, Lady Henty of the local gentry made an entry in her diary that she had just watched Ferring play Kingston (presumably the village next door) in the field. Unfortunately, she then went on to note that Ferring lost!

There is conjecture as to where ‘the field’ was but there is a good chance it’s in the very same field Ferring CC play in today, now called Little Twitten. However, the club have played in locations across the village in the past 160 years.

1864 was quite a monumental year in cricketing history. It was the first year that Wisden Cricketers Almanack (the bible of cricket) was published. It was also the first year that overarm bowling was made legal, before that the ball was bowled roundarm or even underarm. Finally and somewhat contentiously this year is said to be the year that First Class Cricket commenced.

To celebrate this occasion, an inter‐club match was held on Sunday, between two sides representing the Ferring Cricket Club of 1864 and 2024. The 1864 side were dressed in Victorian garb versus the 2024 side in their modern kit. Also to mark the momentous change of bowling in 1864 the first over of each innings was bowled round or under arm. The 2024 side batted first and put on 193 runs with two of their batters M Awde and J Binns retiring not out on 50’s. The 1864 side then went in and although there were some good‐spirited innings by A Goodwin (50 rtno) and A King (31) they failed to reach the required target by 10 runs.

Perhaps it’s fate that the side of 1864 will never win this match and only fitting that modernity triumphed.

Our pupils also enjoy sharing the wonderful campus of Lancing College, where they play sport, swim, visit the Chapel and par cipate in academic and crea ve ac vi es.

Lancing Prep Worthing is an independent day school and nursery for children aged 2 to 13 years. We are based in a Georgian manor house on a site of two acres, in the Broadwater area of Worthing. journey and whose childhood is protected and cherished. When children leave at 13+, they are role models and mentors to their younger peers, and they have achieved their poten al. In June 2022, we were inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (monitored by Ofsted) and received the highest possible grading in all 16 categories. Our EYFS team have recently been awarded Bronze in the Pearson Na onal Teaching Awards Early Years Team of the Year award.

News from Ferring Parish Council

Ac ve Play Summer Sessions ‐

The project provided free weekly ac vi es for youngsters on the village green, including face pain ng, arts and cra s, general games and a bouncy castle. The sessions were held every Tuesday morning on the village green during the school summer holidays and were well received with an average of 60 youngster a ending each week.

Tree Warden Required

Ferring Parish Council is looking for a volunteer tree warden. The role is to get involved in local tree ma ers and give an opinion on tree planning applica ons. If you are interested, please contact the Parish office parishoffice@ferirnparishcouncil.org.uk

Village Green Public Conveniences

The proposed refurbishment will provide a total of five separate cubicles: three regular, one accessible and one ambulant.

Tennis Court Maintenance

Defibrillators (AEDs) In The Village

Back in 2016, Ferring Parish Council installed a Defibrillator (AED) at the village hall on the side wall to the steps to the Club Room.

The AED is simple to operate. If a person suffers or is believed to have suffered a cardiac arrest, the first line of ac on should be to call 999. The operator may ask you to administer CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscita on) even if access to an AED is available. The caller will be guided through the steps for administering CPR and will be informed where the nearest AED is located.

Now, some years later, there are a number of Defibrillators (AED’s) within the village. The full loca on list can be found on our website under Community page, Key Village Services Community ‐ Ferring Parish Council.

Remembrance Day

There are areas of the courts that need some maintenance, the top surface of the tarmac on the northeast end of one of the courts is beginning to fail. Work to repair it and treat both courts to provide a be er finish and longevity of the court surface will commence in September, weather permi ng. In recent years, there have been various works at the tennis courts, including resurfacing in 2014, cleaning and repaint in 2020, and the installa on of new fencing in 2022. Any maintenance to the tennis courts is self‐funded from income derived from Tennis Club annual subscrip ons and court usage charges.

The annual act of Remembrance organised by Ferring Parish Council and our local Ferring Churches will be held on Sunday 10th November 2024. The Parish Family Service in St Andrew’s Church will commence at 9.30am and will end at approximately 10.30am. The laying of wreaths at the War Memorial in Ferring Street will take place a er the service at 11am and will include the Act of Remembrance.

Ferring Country Centre – worth a visit!

Ferring Country Centre is the best‐kept secret along the Sussex coast, which is a shame really as we would like to be be er known!

Founded in 1986 by a group of parents deeply concerned about the type of future they could expect for their disabled children, they decided to do something about it. With help from Mencap, they were able to purchase some old riding stables at Ferring and, with the support of many volunteers, they started to develop a Country Centre to fulfil their dream: to enable their children to lead rewarding and self‐fulfilling lives, to par cipate in the world of work and learn essen al life skills.

Roll on nearly 40 years, and the centre has expanded enormously whilst remaining true to its original goals of providing a safe and suppor ve environment where adults with a learning disability can flourish. They work in our various commercial enterprises which include a Riding Therapy Unit, a Garden Centre, the Rangers Café and Dales Farm for small animals. All the income generated is re‐invested in the charity, which is especially important in the current economic climate as we strive to become more financially independent.

Hor culture has always been an integral part of our ac vi es and is well‐known for its therapeu c proper es. It all began in a small field with a few polytunnels, where they grew some fruit and vegetables and a few bedding plants. It has subsequently developed into a thriving garden centre, well‐known locally for the quality of the plants and compe ve prices. Most of our plants are raised in the main

greenhouse, bought in 1989 a er a massive fund‐raising campaign. There are also five polytunnels in which plants are grown to maturity before going onto the display benches. Our hanging baskets are a speciality, and many loyal customers return every year, many bringing their emp es for a re‐fill.

During the Covid lockdown, we were luckily in a posi on to con nue with a major refurbishment of the garden centre, which saw the comple on of our new café and visitors’ centre, as well as the installa on of a new covered walkway, bringing a new professionalism to the customer experience. Our clients remain the focus of our endeavours. They can choose which ac vi es to pursue, and we strive to boost their confidence and self‐esteem in a friendly environment. Please come and visit to see for yourselves; you can be sure of a warm welcome!

The Seaside Town of Grape and Fig

William Sams 1848‐1937, Nurseryman and Town Councillor, Heene Cemetery Resident

At the turn of the last century, Worthing was known as “the Seaside Town of Grape and Fig”. If you look at a map of the area at the time you will see vast areas of glasshouses to the east and west of the town. We were known for growing the best tomatoes, exotic fruit and flowers.

Among the many market gardeners was William Sams who, along with his partner George Beer, developed the largest glasshouses in the county. William established his business in Manor Road. On the east side he had The Vineries and on the west The Field Nurseries. Fruit was grown for the overseas market and for the Royal table at Buckingham Palace.

William was born in Great Bardfield, Essex and followed his father into market gardening. He moved to London where he married Betsy Beeson in 1874. She was the daughter of a publican. The couple moved to Worthing where William established his business. William and Betsy had six children, including William Jonathan who eventually took over the running of the business. The family first lived at Stortford House on the corner of St Michael’s and Manor Road. Later they moved to The Elms in Boundary Road. This was just to the south of The Vineries. William’s neighbours included Sir Thomas Skinner, who lived at The Gables (later Gifford House), and Mr Rodocanachi, who lived across the road at Chios (later Manor Lea).

William threw himself into local life, serving at Heene church as a warden, and working as a town councillor until 1920. He was also vice‐

GROUNDWORKS

chair of the East Preston Board of Guardians, a JP and County Alderman. He turned down the office of Mayor of Worthing and Town Alderman. William’s wife Betsy died in 1924. Trouble came in 1932 when The Gables was bought for use by the Queen Alexandra Hospital Home. William objected and threatened legal action. He issued a writ to stop The Gables being used as a home. According to Rev. David Farrant’s excellent book on the home, William was “a cantankerous old man and a hard nut to crack”. He had annoyed local residents by putting up a whole market garden of glasshouses behind The Elms. The Town Clerk, Mr Kennedy Allerton, and the Vicar of Heene Rev. Haviland tried to persuade William to withdraw his objections.

Eventually William agreed to sell his home for £4,000, as long as he could stay as a tenant for life. Final agreement was made in 1933 and William stayed in his home until his death in 1937. The Elms became staff quarters for Gifford House and was demolished in 1974. Both nurseries were eventually sold off for housing development and the glasshouses demolished. Nowadays there is very little to remind us of this once thriving industry of which Worthing was so proud.

What Does a Labour Government Mean for Your Will?

Stephen Sampson, Head of Private Client at Monan Gozze LLP and an expert in Wills and Inheritance Tax, looks at the poten al impact of a new government on your Will.

At the me of wri ng this ar cle, I have just read the Chancellor’s announcement of spending cuts, and removal of the Winter Fuel Allowance for most pensioners, yet at the same me some large spending increases.

Put simply, the cuts announced will not be sufficient to cover the increases. Taxes will need to rise. During the elec on campaign Labour commi ed to not increase Income Tax, Na onal Insurance, or VAT, leaving Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax in the firing line.

The next Budget, on 30th October, will provide the details on which taxes will rise. At the moment, the smart money seems to be on an increase in Inheritance Tax. That increase could come from making pension policies subject to IHT, reducing the Nil Rate Band (from the current maximum of £1 million), or even increasing the tax rate (currently 40%). Time will tell.

So, what can you do now to prepare for any changes?

Check what happens to your pension when you die

If you are not absolutely sure, do contact your pension provider or IFA to find out. Your Will does not determine who inherits your pension. If pensions become subject to IHT, there are likely to be considerable complica ons if your pension does not pass to the same beneficiaries as the rest of your estate.

Check the value of your estate

Make sure you know what is in your estate and what it is worth. This includes property, savings, investments, life insurance, pensions, and any share in a business. I recommend asking a local estate agent to value any property you own, as guesswork is unhelpful, and Zoopla can be unreliable.

Book a professional review of your Will Dust off your copy of your Will and arrange for it to be professionally reviewed by a solicitor. Already, old Wills (especially those made before 9th October 2007) can increase the IHT payable on your estate, depending on what technical clauses are included in it. Budget changes could make the situa on even worse.

If you do not have a Will, make one If you are compos men s, there is really no excuse for not having a Will. No Will means that you have no choice about who inherits your estate, which can also increase the tax bill on your death.

At Monan Gozze LLP, we offer a free appointment to professionally review exis ng Wills and a free ini al appointment to discuss making a Will. These mee ngs can take place in our Arundel office (1 Tarrant Street), at your home, or as a video call (Teams, Zoom, or WhatsApp). To arrange an appointment, please call the Arundel office on 01903 927055, or email me: ssampson@monangozze .com

Ferring Village Hall

It is very sad for the Village Hall to lose the wonderful Village Market, which has been opera ng for nearly 50 years. The market started in 1976 at the Old School Hall and moved four years later to the Village Hall, where it has been ever since. Like the hall itself, its lifeblood was the volunteers who turned up every week come rain or shine to be met by the enthusias c queue of local residents keen to get their hands on the homemade pies, meals and cakes, and enjoy a friendly cup of tea or coffee. It was a unique part of Ferring life and we will miss it!

We welcome two new trustees, Andy Player, who will be looking a er our energy contracts and usage, and John Gough, who will play a key role in finding new sources of funding. At the me of wri ng, we have raised an impressive £40,000 towards our new wall. A complete list of donors is available on our website, but we’d like to men on Ferring Community Cinema, who donated £1,000, £300 from the local jazz group Serenata and £150 from Tori Produc ons, the amateur theatre company.

The trustees have chosen a Ferring firm, Nice Building People, to do the work, which hopefully will start in November.

The market, held as part of the Ferring Fes val, raised a total of £735, which has also gone towards the wall fund. It is good to welcome a new hirer, Por a Gibson, who will hold free monthly advice sessions on post‐opera ve recovery. Please see our no ceboards outside the hall for dates and mes.

Staying with the theme of health, many of you may be unaware that we have a poten ally life‐saving defibrillator outside the hall. The Village Hall, in partnership with Ferring Parish Council, plans to hold some free sessions explaining how to use it and provide training on CPR, so look out for more info.

It’s all happening at Ferring CE School!

It’s another new chapter for the school this autumn as it says farewell, thank you and wishes all the very best for its former Headteacher, Ms. Naomi Welsh, who is to be congratulated on securing a promotion to a larger school over in Shoreham. “I shall be forever thankful for my time at Ferring,” comments Ms. Welsh. “It is a magical place where I have worked with some amazing people and brought awe and wonder to many children, and I shall truly miss everyone.”

On 1st September, Ferring warmly welcomes Mrs Keeley Houston as interim Headteacher whilst it seeks to appoint a permanent Head to start in the Spring Term. Mrs Houston has been in education for over 20 years and has taught across Brighton and Hove and West Sussex. For the past seven years she has been the Head of a rural primary school. “My educational philosophy is simple,” she says; “I believe every child should be given the opportunity to be the best that they can be and I look forward to working with my fellow colleagues and Governors at Ferring to continue to strive to achieve this, building on the good work that is already taking place at the school.”

The final whole school event of the Summer Term was organised by SOFSA (Supporters of

Ferring School Association) and was a real spectacle! Circus PaZaz erected their big top on the field and there were two performances for families to enjoy. The following day, the performers gave circus skills workshops to every class and children and staff had great fun learning how to spin plates, operate diablos, poi, hula hoops and flower sticks, and dance with gymnastics ribbons. The school is indebted to SOFSA and its amazing team of volunteers for continuing to find and provide a variety of events, activities and visiting attractions for the children throughout the year. Here’s looking forward to the next one!

Topak Care Supplies

Topak Care Supplies specialises in the sale and hire of home nursing equipment, PPE Supplies living aids and the supply of incon nence products. They have a large showroom and warehouse in Rus ngton and they provide free local delivery to trade and retail customers.

Established in 1998, Topak Care Supplies is a family‐run business dedicated to providing a friendly, personal service. In November last year, Serena Ba y joined owners Nikki and Gary Cooke as an administrator. Coming from a completely different working background, she has been amazed at everything Topak has to offer; whether this is to help yourself around the home or caring for a loved one, Topak Care Supplies can help. Serena works mainly in the office and showroom, helping and advising on items ‐with the help of Nikki and Gary. She is also some mes out in the van with one of the drivers, making deliveries of beds and chairs.

The showroom has so many items on display, ranging from household and kitchen aids to rise and recline chairs for you to try out. It is definitely worth a visit, but if it is difficult to get to us, we can offer over‐the‐phone assessments.

Hiring equipment is great, as lots of customers are some mes unsure of the exact equipment they would like or need. Hiring means you can try before you buy, or you can hire the equipment for as long as you need.

Topak also provides PPE equipment to care homes and has an array of nappies that we supply to nurseries.

Ups and Downs of Inves ng

Richard Cohen, FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner Nsure Financial Services 01903 821010

Inves ng at any level can o en feel like a bit of a rollercoaster ride. It’s the nature of the beast, so belt up, strap in and hold your breath.

In all fairness, it’s much more mundane than seeing your life flash before your eyes, but there are plenty of ups and downs to consider when it comes to managing your investment por olio.

The past year has seemed pre y buoyant in terms of making money, especially when you consider that it was almost impossible to make headway in the previous one. So, does this mean things are on the up and what can we expect from the next 12 months?

Well, financially speaking, it’s not bad, but in many ways, it’s not good either. The outlook is certainly be er than a year ago, but there is always the next thing just wai ng around the corner to add some destabilisa on. The new government is certainly pitching its hopes for growth, which should be posi ve news for businesses up and down the country.

Timing can be everything; understanding when to get in and when to get out is a well‐honed skill, but it’s also very personal. Only you know what risks you are willing to take and what you are prepared to lose, alterna vely, on the upside, it’s only you that knows what you need and what is enough.

As human beings, we are o en led by emo on, ela on when things go right and despair when things go, well… less right. Take it from me: neither of these moments is the best me to dive head‐on into decision‐making. Instead, take me to reflect, analyse performance and inves gate what went well and what went less well. It’s o en far easier to look at things in perspec ve when emo on is taken out of the equa on.

Closure of Ferring Village Market

It was with deep regret that our market closed for good on July 31st. There had been a number of problems in the last months and it was decided that the market was no longer viable.

There had been a market in Ferring for 48 years and had traded from Ferring Village Hall since 1980.

We would like to thank the village hall trustees and management commi ee for being so helpful to us over the years.

We would also like to thank all of our customers who queued through rain or shine each Wednesday. These people had become our friends over the years and we enjoyed their company.

We are sure that our closure was a shock to many people but we hope that you understand the situa on.

The UK government's Healthy Ageing Challenge supports innova ve ways to keep older adults socially connected and engaged. This ini a ve is crucial, as social interac ons can significantly improve mental and physical wellbeing. Let me share a personal story to highlight its impact.

My 86‐year‐old father joined a gym for the first me a year ago. He doesn’t par cularly enjoy exercising, but the friendly environment and regular interac ons with staff and fellow gym‐goers have transformed him. He's more mobile, less lonely, and has more energy. His heart health has also improved, and he’s genuinely happier.

For many, the idea of social interac on or even leaving the house can be daun ng. Here are some ps to help you gradually build social connec ons.

/ www.newleafnutrition.co.uk

 Start small: Take one ac on at a me. Don't worry if you can’t manage much ini ally.

 List enjoyable ac vi es: Think about what you used to enjoy or always wanted to try.

 Ask for help: Look for local groups or ask friends and family to join you regularly.

 Plan thoroughly: Plan your ou ngs to feel more secure and minimise surprises.

 Appreciate small interac ons: Be grateful for any small social exchanges.

 Stay in touch: Call a friend or family member occasionally. Even a weekly call can make a difference.

Building social connec ons can significantly enhance your quality of life. Start small, be pa ent, and embrace each step towards a more connected and fulfilling life.

Men’s Singles Tournament

at Ferring Tennis Club

Ferring Tennis Club was delighted to hold their Men’s Singles Tournament on Saturday 27th July at Glebelands Recrea on Ground. This used to be an annual event which has been held since the Club’s incep on in 1995, and organised for several years prior to that by Ferring Parish Council.

Unfortunately, the tournament was put on hold for a while, so this was the first one held for 10 years – and it was well worth the wait!

The weather was kind to the players, and lots of club members turned up, camping chairs and refreshments in hand, to support the compe tors. Strength and stamina were put to the test over a gruelling few hours, with some exci ng tennis on display. Every player gave it their all.

Eventually, the final got underway between the two players who had amassed the most games during their a ernoon matches, and again, it didn’t disappoint. The winner, Deux Hovingh was presented with the pres gious trophy; both the winner and the runner‐up, Faramarz

Padari received a commemora ve beer glass (which were put to use very quickly!), and the event was rounded off with a ernoon tea and cake.

A great a ernoon was had by all, and the Club are looking forward to holding more tournaments for their members in the future.

Details on how to join Ferring Tennis Club can be found on the no ce boards outside the tennis courts and at the Village Hall.

Ferring Probus Invita on Lunch

At the start of each summer, the Probus Club holds an invita on lunch for its members and their guests. This year, the lunch took place on Wednesday June 19th at Worthing Indoor Bowls Club, which is set in the glorious gardens of Field Place.

As pre‐booking was required, some  me had passed and days were being counted down before lunch. Prior to the day, it rained relentlessly and the wind howled; what a soggy start to the week. Suddenly, on Wednesday morning the clouds parted, the sun shone and the appointed day was fine, warm, and sunny. Members and guests donned suits or summer dresses. What a wonderful start to the day! As is the custom, all the par cipants were greeted by David Gibbs the Dining Officer and David Bo ng, the President. On arrival, prize draw  ckets were available, which served two purposes: the holder’s table number was on the front and the draw number on the back. Tickets were also issued for a complementary pre‐lunch drink at the well‐stocked bar. As always, the lunch, provided by Chevron Catering, was excellent, served promptly, and cheerfully. The chef and team excelled themselves once again, and the meal was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Prior to dining, there was  me to socialise, which enabled some catch‐up  me. During the meal, a quiz sheet based on the logos of chocolate bars was given to each table for comple ng (and head scratching!). There were 18 pictures to iden fy, but nobody was able to answer all the ques ons. Even so, it was a lot of fun. All too soon, the a ernoon came to an end and we le  in glorious sunshine, in good spirits and comfortably full.

On May 28th the club had an experimental Meet and Greet at Haskins Garden Centre. Those who a ended thought that there should be a similar morning in the autumn as this type of informal mee ng enabled members to get to know each other be er.

Our monthly coffee mornings with speakers are held on the first Tuesday of the month at St Andrews Church Centre, Ferring 10 to 11.30am. Non‐members are welcome. The speakers are always interes ng and cover a wide variety of subjects.

Superstar Arts came to a recent coffee morning and talked about its work. This local charity provides people with learning disabili es opportuni es to learn new skills such as prin ng, cooking and running a refreshments cafe. Users are also encouraged to take part in choir and drama performances. An open invita on was made to visit them in South Street, Tarring.

Members lunches are held on the third Wednesday of the month at Worthing Indoor Bowls Club, Field Place 12.15 to 3pm. Usually there is a speaker and the topics vary greatly.

Our mee ngs are always very well a ended and enjoyed. To find out more, contact the Secretary (Roger Lovell) 07802 951 061or email him rmlisnow@yahoo.co.uk. He will be pleased to hear from you.

Race across the South Coast

Inspired by Race Across the world, a historic Race Across the South Coast has ended in Victory for a certain Vice‐Admiral. Vice‐Admiral Lord Hora o Nelson, star ng in London beat Queen Victoria and King Henry VIII to his flagship at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, cheered on by visitors.

Over the summer Portsmouth Historic Dockyard organised a race across the South Coast featuring Queen Victoria, King Henry VIII and Lord Nelson, with followers on social media encouraged to share posts to win ckets, and to guess where the next stop on their journey was. The historic trio were aiming to be the first to reach the dockyard where their respec ve ships are exhibited. Lord Nelson’s HMS Victory the icon of the Ba le of Trafalgar, Victoria’s HMS Warrior the world’s first ironclad ship and Henry’s Mary Rose the legendary example of mari me archaeology.

Faster than horse‐drawn carriages they travelled via public transport, showcasing just how well‐connected Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is in the South.

Local partners from across the South made the event possible with the kind help of train companies, local museums and councils.

The race showcased iconic loca ons across the South Coast, with the trio beginning the compe on in loca ons relevant to them, Hen‐ry VIII’s home Hampton Court Palace, Queen Victoria’s bedroom at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, and Lord Nelson’s portrait at the Na onal Portrait Gallery in London. Key stops along the way captured other important historic loca ons, from Chichester Cathedral to Guildford Castle. It wasn’t just historic monuments that caught their eye, Victoria found her way onto a giant observa on wheel on Worthing seafront, Lord Nelson surveyed the op ons for water travel across the river Thames, and Henry marvelled at modern fish and chips.

As shown on Sunday 11th August the finale took place at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, between Queen Victoria and Lord Nelson, as Henry was distracted by his fish and chips.

Following a photo‐finish Lord Nelson claimed victory, with Henry and Victoria as gracious losers.

Becca Hubbard Associate Execu ve Director for Marke ng at the Na onal Museum of the Royal Navy who jointly operate Portsmouth Historic Dockyard with the Mary Rose Trust says: “This campaign has been a wonderful opportunity to showcase how well‐connected Portsmouth Historic Dockyard by train, no ma er where you’re coming from in the South. It’s been lovely to see the reac ons on social media, and to work with so many fantas c partners to make this happen. The reac on of the public from sharing on social media, to chasing down Queen Victoria for a selfie shows how interested people are in the stories that we tell.” All of the films can be viewed on Instagram or X at @phdockyard, or on Facebook: h ps:// www.facebook.com/historicdockyard

The flagships of these historic icons are available to visit at Portsmouth Historic Dock‐yard. Experience the wooden walls of Lord Nelson or explore the engine room of the pride of Queen Victoria’s fleet. The Ul mate Explorer Ticket is the best value op on for 12‐month entry to all 9 a rac ons at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, including the two Gosport sites, Harbour Tours and all the historic ships. Tickets are valid for mul ple entries throughout the year, with family  ckets available. To book visit: www. historicdockyard.co.uk/ ckets‐and‐offers

This effort enables us to sell these items to new owners, contribu ng to a circular economy with reduced waste and resource reuse while raising funds to transform lives in Eastern Europe.”

Link to Hope encourages residents to u lise the free furniture collec on service by scheduling a pickup at their convenience. All types of furniture in saleable condi on, including sofas, dining tables and desks, are accepted. It is

essen al to note that any furniture with padding must have an a ached fire label.

Beyond promo ng environmental sustainability, proceeds from recycled furniture will support Link to Hope’s mission of rebuilding lives and communi es in Eastern Europe.

Na onal Eye Health Week

Highlights Importance of Regular Eye Health Checks

From 23rd to 29th September it’s Na onal Eye Health Week, and 4Sight Vision Support (4SVS) is proud to support this ini a ve, which encourages people to look a er their eyes and have regular eye health checks.

This year, the theme is ‘Vision Really Ma ers’, and 4SVS will be raising awareness and providing informa on about accessing eye health checks and promo ng good eye health in our daily lives.

Regular eye health checks can detect early signs of condi ons, including glaucoma, which can be treated if found soon enough. In addi on, during an eye health check, other health condi ons, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, may be detected. Those living with sight loss should con nue to do so, as checking for further changes in the eyes can help make the best use of remaining vision and prevent any unnecessary further sight loss. Anyone is welcome to contact the charity if they would like to learn more about what to

look out for or signs, prac cal support and advice, or help with accessing a local op cian. For further informa on contact 4Sight Vision Support on 01243 838001, email fundraising@4Sight.org.uk or visit www.4sight.org.uk

4Sight Vision Support would like to thank corporate partners PMW Communica ons for making these community events possible, and Walsh Op cians, Bognor Regis, for explaining the different tests used as part of having a rou ne eye health check.

We walk five to seven miles along the coast, river, woodlands, country, vineyards and the Downs. We publish the dates of our walks, which are either on a Saturday or a Sunday (usually two Saturdays and two Sundays in the month). At the end of our walks, we usually go for a coffee or refreshment for a chinwag.

Our walks are posted on a Monday via WhatsApp for the coming weekend, so you need a mobile and a car to get to the star ng point and access to WhatsApp to join.

Open day at Ferring Dental Prac ce

Over the last 10 years, we have held a number of open days at Ferring Dental Prac ce. Every  me it has been a huge pleasure to meet people and to chat to them about their dental experiences and stories, as well as a chance to explain to them about what can be done to help them.

Obviously, we love people to come and join the prac ce, but actually, the reason we do the open day is to serve our community.

Many  mes, people come who have not been to the den st for many years for one reason or another. These days, access to a den st has become a big deal for many people who do not have a den st of their own. The open day gives you a chance to ask those ques ons you always wanted to ask and see what we have done to make it a state‐of‐the‐art dental prac ce that doesn’t look like a den st, feel like a den st or smell like a den st.

We’ve invested further in the last year in the prac ce, so we’ve got more stuff to show off. So, if you almost came last year but couldn’t make it, this is your year. Come and visit us, have a drink and chat away. There’s no need to book. Just come along.

On the open day, we promise not to look in your mouth, but you do get to meet most of the team of den sts and hygienists. If you think they are the kind of people you can put your trust in to care for you and your mouth then, as a bonus, new pa ent consulta ons booked on the day are over 1/3rd off at £50. A new pa ent

consulta on lasts 45 minutes and gives you enough  me to find out exactly what’s going on in your mouth and to discuss what you want to do about it. It’s well worth it to get peace of mind and maybe a plan to secure your dental health for the long term. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 21st September at Ferring Dental Prac ce.

Ferring Gardening Club

The Club has had a very busy  me throughout July and August, with our first event being our regular monthly mee ng in which our guest speaker was Maggie Haynes from the Tuppenny Barn.

The Tuppenny Barn is a charity that was set up to provide children with an understanding of where their fruit and vegetables come from and provide them with the opportunity to grow their own. School par es are regular visitors and are given hands‐on experience of growing as many of them believe supermarkets are the providers. The site contains over one hundred heritage fruit trees and forty raised beds. Being a member of the soil associa on, all produce is organically grown and all garden waste is recycled. The charity is star ng to widen its remit and has begun to run courses for veterans who are in need of help.

Later in the month, club members visited Hever Castle; the day was fine and all members thoroughly enjoyed their visit. No sooner had we returned than our Summer Flower show took place on Saturday 20th July. On the day of the show, there were over 180 exhibits as

well as a stall selling garden bits and bobs, plants, vegetables and homemade jam. Half the money raised will be donated to the Bri sh Heart Founda on. As usual, the refreshment area was well supported, with everyone enjoying homemade cakes and scones.

Our President, Mr Brian Rolfe, was awarded the Best in Show for his Escallonia (Pink Elle), pictured right. The judge said it was unusual to see such large blooms as normally, this plant would have finished flowering at this  me of year.

Mrs Anita Parkes won the Gladiola Cup for single stem of yellow blooms.

Other Cups and awards were:

Nine green spaces achieve Green Flag status in Adur and

Worthing

More green spaces in Adur and Worthing have been na onally recognised for their management, environmental standards and appearance. Nine of Adur and Worthing Councils’ parks, reserves and gardens have been awarded the Green Flag thanks to the hard work of its parks’ team and the dedicated volunteers that help maintain the area’s green spaces.

In Worthing, Highdown Gardens (pictured above), Marine Gardens, Denton Gardens (pictured below), Field Place and Beach House Park have won the award. Managed by Keep Britain Tidy, the award is the na onal benchmark for parks and green spaces, encouraging a higher standard of maintenance and ensuring parks are managed in an environmentally‐friendly way.

Denton Gardens, located on Brighton Road, Worthing, is a new winner for this year. The area’s eight other award‐winning green spaces have retained the honour.

Cllr Jude Harvey, Adur’s cabinet member for the environment and leisure, said: “It’s excellent news that four of our spaces have been recognised again in this year’s Green Flag

awards. I’d like to say a huge thank you to our parks team and the many local groups that help manage, maintain and bring life to our green and blue spaces.”

Cllr Vicki Wells, Worthing's cabinet member for environmental services, said: “I’m delighted that five of our much‐loved green spaces have achieved Green Flag status as part of this year’s awards. I’m par cularly thrilled for the Friends of Denton Gardens, who have worked so hard to achieve this well‐earned result. They now join the suite of wonderful Worthing parks recognised for their green fingers and gra .

“The local groups and volunteers that support our teams are crucial to the management of Worthing’s parks and coastline. In addi on, working with nature as part of a group brings its own wellbeing benefits. I am very grateful for all the  me they give to help make our spaces the best they can be for visitors and nature alike.”

“Thanks go to Worthing Borough Council’s CIL Neighbourhood Fund and Rampion for the funding that has enabled us to replace the pergola and replant and refresh the gardens, and to Coast and The Egremont for enthusias cally providing facili es and refreshments.”

Awards are given on an annual basis, and winners must apply each year to renew their Green Flag status. Volunteer judges decide on each successful site.

Each award‐winning park must be deemed to be a welcoming place, healthy, safe and secure, well‐maintained and clean. It must also meet criteria such as sustainability, conserva on and heritage, and have community involvement.

The Long Walk Home

Ferring Conserva on Group Mee ng July 2024

A er a gap of several years, Michael Blencowe returned to Ferring Conserva on Group to regale members and visitors alike with tales of his epic walk of 348 miles from his current home in Sussex back to his childhood roots in Devon.

Now a freelance naturalist, author and wildlife guide, Michael felt compelled to complete this walk a er suffering what he was told to be a heart a ack, which thankfully turned out to be a false alarm. Michael has a unique ability to educate and entertain us all at the same  me and in March 2023, laden with an enormous rucksack containing 15 maps, numerous blister packs, a jar of Bovril, etc, and with the aid of walking poles, he set out on the first leg of his journey walking from Small Dole to Amberley. Blistered feet were a big problem for Michael and set in soon a er departure, so Michael’s blister packs were soon depleted. Along the route, Michael visited the charming 13th‐century church of St Andrew’s in Didling, known as the Shepherd’s Church. Nestled in the South Downs in an isolated spot, it has no electricity supply and is lit by candles. When a shepherd was buried, tradi onally, a piece of sheep’s wool was placed in his folded hands to ensure that at the Pearly Gates, St Peter would understand that the shepherd was o en absent from church as he had to tend his sheep. Michael delighted in the wildlife that he encountered along the route, including Yellowhammers, boxing Hares, Redwing, Fieldfare and Peregrine Falcons, to name but a few. On reaching Dorset on Day 10 with over 100 miles covered, Michael woke to find a thick layer of snow had obliterated many landmarks making his journey difficult to navigate. As the snow melted and with a splendid view of the Jurassic coastline visible he made his way inland to the town of Bridport. The South West Coastal Path lay 14 miles away towards Lyme Regis and then a further 10 miles into Beer and his home county of Devon.

It was around this  me that Michael decided to exchange his large backpack for a much smaller version, which made his walk through to Dartmouth much easier. Seeing much of the Gorse in bloom li ed Michael’s spirits as he

con nued his journey to the town of Salcombe and, in doing so, comple ng approximately 300 miles, passing the Start Point Lighthouse on his way, then through Bantham, Bigbury with views of Burgh Island, Ermington, Elburton and Yealmpton and finally arriving at his childhood home in the city of Plymouth ‐ 22 days and 348 miles later. With great relief, he had achieved his goal, but he did note that the journey back to Michael’s home in Sussex by car took only four hours.

Graham Tuppen presented the Nature Notes slot a er the usual break for refreshments by showing members a series of excellent photographs, including a Cinnabar moth on a Ragwort plant, a Cricket on a Marigold flower and the beau ful wildflower bed in the Glebelands recrea on ground (all of the wildflower beds in the village have been excep onal this year). A photograph of the blue flax flowers growing in the fields of Chatsmore Farm plus a six‐spot Burnet Moth on a Round‐headed Rampion plant. There were also reports of Li le Egrets and Herons on the Ferring Rife, together with sigh ngs of Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Long‐tailed Tits and a Buzzard.

A planning update was delivered by Stephen Abbo  to conclude the mee ng, with no further planning applica ons submi ed.

The addi onal house in the garden of 44, Ferringham Lane had been refused by Arun DC and an Arun proposal to increase the number of beach huts along this stretch of the coastline is under consulta on with the relevant Parish Councils, including Ferring.

The Knepp Wildland Estate

Mark McManus from the Knepp Wildland Estate came along to the Ferring Conserva on Group’s June mee ng to update members with the latest news of this trailblazing rewilding project.

Leaving behind a career in IT and telecommunica ons, Mark McManus decided to venture down a very different path and indulge his passion for wildlife as he became an Assistant Warden for the RSPB’s Pulborough Brooks Reserve and then a Ranger for the South Downs Na onal Park Authority.

Mark now happily imparts his vast knowledge to the many visitors on safari tours around the Knepp Estate and is very much a member of the team there. In the twenty or so years since Knepp began rewilding, extremely rare species have thrived, including Turtle Doves, Nigh ngales, Peregrine Falcons and Purple Emperor bu erflies as well as more common species. Moving away from intensive farming has demonstrated how natural regenera on has created new habitats from grassland and scrub to open‐grown trees and wood pastures, a rac ng wildlife from far and wide.

Without free‐roaming grazing animals, Mark explained the emerging scrub would soon turn into closed‐canopy woodland. Over the years, the physical disturbance created by grazing animals s mulated a complex mosaic of habitats, allowing a more open form of wood pasture. Although as many ancient breeds as possible were introduced, Tamworth Pigs were subs tuted for Wild Boar and Exmoor ponies were established for their hardiness and ability to thrive in all sorts of habitats. Roe, Fallow and Red deer roam freely alongside Old English long‐horn ca le.

Mark explained that one of the Knepp Estate’s priori es is to liaise with neighbouring landowners to encourage them to allow strategic wildlife corridors, such as in the Chichester area, which links the South Downs Na onal Park with the coastal harbours. This will allow wildlife to move freely.

Two beavers were released into a licensed enclosure in February 2022. Since then, they have had an astonishing impact on their environment, crea ng impressive dams,

building up their lodge and coppicing the surrounding woodland.

Mark took pride in announcing that in addi on to Knepp becoming home to the first two nes ng pairs of wild Storks to breed in the UK for over 600 years in 2020, the project has gone from strength to strength with nine successful nests.

It is hoped that the poten al reintroduc on of Wildcat and Pine Marten will be possible in the future.

Graham Tuppen then presented the Nature Notes session with photographs of Wall Lizards spo ed at West Worthing railway sta on and a tree completely covered in webs made by the caterpillars of Ermine Moths seen by the roadside at Long Furlong. Graham then showed a beau ful photograph of a field of Na ve Field Poppies and Phacelia also in the Long Furlong area. Bee Orchids were in bloom at Highdown Gardens while Common Spo ed Orchids, Wild Thyme and Birds Foot Trefoil were seen at Cissbury Ring, together with Wild Carrot, Ladies Bedstraw and Yellow Ra le.

To conclude the mee ng, Stephen Abbo   updated members on the latest planning news, advising that the planning applica on submi ed on behalf of Greystoke Manor care home for a two‐story extension had been withdrawn. Also, the applica on for an addi onal house at 44 Ferringham Lane is yet to be decided.

All of Us Strangers

Ferring Community Cinema will show its next film, ‘All of Us Strangers’ on Friday 6th September.

Adapted from Taichi Yamada’s novel Strangers, the film is a deeply personal portrait of newfound love.

Adam (Andrew Sco ) is a screenwriter wrestling with a script drawn from his past. As he immerses himself in the music of his childhood and picks through a box of family treasures, he appears increasingly disconnected from his past and present.

A chance mee ng with Harry, a neighbour in the tower block where he lives, is a catalyst for change and a rela onship starts to develop and blossom between them.

During a research visit to his childhood home, Adam encounters his late parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), unchanged, unaged and s ll living exactly as they were just before they died 30 years ago.

Adam is unable to change the past and rewrite the moment his parents were killed in a car crash, but thanks to a metaphysical quirk, he can get to know them as an adult gay man.

The skill of Jonathan Albert’s edi ng, which guides us between the parallel melines of Adam’s life, is a remarkable achievement. The Guardian described the film as “a raw and potent piece of storytelling that grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go.”

The film will be shown at Ferring Village Hall. Tickets are £6 and available at the North Ferring Co‐op, the Premier Stores in South Ferring, and on the door on the night. Ticket price includes tea, coffee or so drink, and biscuits. Doors open at 6.30pm for a prompt 7pm start.

Feargal Sharkey Visits Worthing

Feargal Sharkey was in Sussex this summer on his ‘Stop the Sh*t Show’ tour to highlight UK water pollution. Rock‐singer‐turned‐environmental‐campaigner Feargal Sharkey is touring Great Britain –visiting some of our best‐loved rivers and seas. Back on the road for the first time in nearly 40 years, the singer, campaigner and President of Labour’s environment campaign, SERA (Socialist Environment and Resources Association), met local Labour campaigners, Labour’s Parliamentary Candidates for Worthing West, Dr Beccy Cooper, and East Worthing and Shoreham, Tom Rutland, and the public to highlight the pollution on Worthing beach.

The campaign supports candidates who are members of Labour’s Environment Campaign. It also highlights the disgraceful state of the UK’s rivers and seas after 14 years of neglect by the Tory government and profits‐over‐people recklessness from water companies.

Dr Beccy Cooper, Labour’s candidate for Worthing West, said: “Worthing residents are constantly telling me how fed up they are of sewage being pumped into our precious seas and rivers. We want to be able to take our

children into the sea without checking when the last sewage discharge was and whether it’s safe to swim. Thanks to Feargal Sharkey for joining us to highlight the state of our seas and rivers and to show why now is the time to elect a new Labour government that will clean up our waters and hold water companies such as Southern Water to account.”

Co‐chairs of Labour’s environment campaign Ken Penton and Lisa Trickett, said: “This campaign could not be clearer – it’s time to stop the sh*t show and put nature and our environment back at the centre of the government’s priorities.

“Britain’s waters need a fresh start.”

Sussex Pathfinders Rambling Club

Since the start of 2024, our members have enjoyed a wide variety of walks covering both East and West Sussex from the south to the north. One intrepid walk leader even gave us the opportunity to visit Hayling Island in June.

Most Saturdays consist of five‐mile walks, while on Sundays, walkers enjoy longer walks of eight to 10 miles, plus the very popular ‘Figure of 8’ walks, which consist of four or five miles in the morning, a stop for lunch at the star ng point and then a further four or five miles in the a ernoon. Members choose whether to walk in the morning, a ernoon or both.

News on a na onal scale has been welcomed by everyone who enjoys exercise and being out in the fresh air. To celebrate the corona on of His Majesty King Charles III, the England Coast Path has been renamed the ‘King Charles III England Coast Path’, leaving a las ng legacy to be enjoyed by walkers around the en re English coastline.

The path is being opened in sec ons, but when completed, it will be the longest coastal path in the world at approximately 2,700 miles. This amazing new Na onal Trail will take people through some of England's finest landscapes, connec ng the many seaside towns, ci es and ports that have shaped this island na on. It will link iconic places and heritage on the coast with the less well‐known and unlock some parts of our coast for the first me

On Saturday 7th September, SPRC will be mee ng at 10am at the north end of Sea Lane at the junc on with Ilex Way and parking will be on‐street. The five‐ mile walk will go via Ilex

Way, Ferring, Ferring Rife, East Kingston and King Charles III England Coast Path.

On Saturday 14th September, we will walk through woods, along country lanes and the riverbank in Arundel. It will be a six‐mile route star ng at 10am from Maxwell Road and will go via Binstead Wood, Slate Farm Barn and Tor ngton.

On Saturday 26th October, SPRC will be mee ng at 10am at High Salvington for a six‐mile walk across downland and through woods via Honeysuckle Lane, Long Furlong, Richardson’s Wood, Clapham, Clapham Wood, Long Furlong and Honeysuckle Lane.

There’s no need to book, just turn up for a walk and introduce yourself to the leader. For full details of all our future walks from September to December, visit www.sussexpathfiders.org.uk

West Sussex Writers

A er a brief period when mee ngs were suspended, West Sussex Writers, which meets in Goring Methodist Church the second Thursday of the month, is now up and running once more and a rac ng new members each month.

Mee ngs include professional speakers, workshops, open mic sessions where members can showcase their wri ng, and other events to advise and encourage new and more experienced writers. Recently, author and journalist Lisa Brace described her wri ng journey and her most recent novel, Swim, which tells the story of Lucy Morton, an almost forgo en swimmer

who won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics in 1924, the first Bri sh woman to do so. The centenary of her remarkable achievement took place at this year’s Olympics, which were again held in Paris.

Lisa also outlined three ways to tackle wri ng a novel. There is ‘wri ng by the seat of your

pants’, also known as ‘pantsing’, when ideas are allowed to flow onto the page; having a loose plan beforehand, or using a ‘Beat Sheet’. This last, rather odd tle refers to composing a template where different sec ons of a novel, including characters, incidents and even word counts, are ghtly plo ed.

Of course, most authors use a combina on of all three and each will require post‐edi ng. If you are interested in learning more about the different approaches to wri ng, or curious about how you can begin your own wri ng journey, visit West Sussex Writers as a guest and consider joining our lively group of like‐minded people.

The next mee ng is on Thursday 12th September, which will be an open mic event and the group’s AGM, so it will be a good me to come along and learn more about us. Mee ngs are held from 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm at Goring Methodist Church Hall, Bury Drive, Goring‐by‐Sea BN12 4XB.

Colonnade House to be transformed

into a more accessible and sustainable venue

Worthing’s Colonnade House art gallery and crea ve studio space is to be transformed into a more accessible, sustainable building. Since opening in 2016, Colonnade House has hosted hundreds of crea ves from across the region and provided a space where people can connect, collaborate and be inspired.

The crea ve space in Warwick Street is owned by Worthing Borough Council, which manages it in partnership with Adur & Worthing Trust, a charity that promotes arts, culture and heritage across the area.

Originally built in the early 1800s as a library and post office, the building was reborn as a crea ve hub following the council's successful applica on to the government’s Coastal Communi es Fund in 2014.

Today Colonnade House is at full capacity, with two gallery spaces, ten studios and a programme of ac vity filled with gi ed and exci ng individuals. However, the facility is in need of investment to ensure it remains safe, fit for purpose and can con nue to serve the cultural community.

The council will upgrade the building with the help of a grant of more than £460,000 from Arts Council England. The council will also contribute more than £40,000 to the project.

The plans include repairs to the roof, the crea on of an accessible entrance system and redesigning the building's exterior to include a compos ng area and green space. A host of sustainable measures are also included, such as installing solar panels and triple glazing, and replacing the current hea ng system with ground source heat pumps.

Cllr Rita Garner, Worthing’s cabinet member for culture and leisure, said: “Colonnade House has con nued to serve the crea ve community each year, and this funding will allow us to make some important changes to improve accessibility and ensure the historic building has a sustainable future.

“I’d like to thank Arts Council England for rewarding our applica on and suppor ng the wealth of crea ve talent in and around Worthing.”

Edwards, South East Area Director, Arts Council England, said: “Through this Capital Investment Programme, we are bolstering cultural investment in communi es throughout the South East.

“By enhancing the infrastructure of cultural spaces across the region we are expanding access to arts, culture, and crea ve pursuits. We are also suppor ng cultural organisa ons in becoming more inclusive, reducing their carbon footprint, and enhancing their digital capabili es.

“We are delighted that together, we can nurture a more vibrant and accessible cultural landscape for all.”

Karen Simporis, Chair of the Adur & Worthing Trust, said: “It’s great news that Arts Council England has awarded the council a substan al capital grant to refurbish Colonnade House ‐ an award which will secure its future as the cultural hub of Worthing.”

The project to transform Colonnade House is due to begin in Summer 2025 and is expected to be complete by Spring 2026. It's hoped the works will cause minimal disrup on so crea ves can con nue using the gallery and studio space during the upgrade.

Weekly food waste collec ons

set for phased roll‐out in Adur and Worthing

Domes c food waste collec ons will begin in Adur and Worthing by spring 2026 a er more funding to start rolling out the service was secured. A phased roll‐out of weekly food waste collec ons will launch in March 2026, with household refuse and recycling collec ons con nuing to happen every two weeks.

Food waste makes up approximately 39.5% of the content of a household bin by weight in Adur and 40.6% in Worthing. Adur and Worthing Councils have been working to minimise these figures with schemes like community compos ng and a compe on for residents to win a hot compos ng bin by sending in  ps for reducing food waste.

Weekly food waste collec ons are now being introduced to help the councils improve their recycling rates as well as to comply with the government’s simpler recycling scheme, which was introduced to create consistency in the way recycling, food waste and garden waste are collected across the country.

The scheme requires all councils to provide a kerbside food waste collec on for businesses and other non‐premises by 31st March 2025 and for all households by 31st March 2026.

In March this year the councils wrote to the government to request a review of the funding allocated, as the amount provided was es mated to fall short of what is needed to implement a full service by £900,000.

Although the councils have since been awarded an addi onal £227,000, the total provided s ll doesn’t cover the implementa on or ongoing running costs of the new service, or the work at the councils’ depots needed for the project. Un l sufficient government funding is made available or other funding is iden fied, the councils will phase the roll‐out of the service, priori sing areas with the most homes.

Households with a kerbside collec on will receive a seven‐litre caddy to use in the kitchen and a 23‐litre food waste caddy to

place out on collec on day. Food waste will be collected weekly. Refuse and recycling will con nue to be collected fortnightly.

Residents living in blocks of flats will also receive a caddy to use in their kitchen. They will be able to use new 140‐litre food waste bins that will be placed in communal stores and collected weekly. The collected food waste will be transferred to West Sussex County Council.

The councils will need ten new 7.5 tonne vehicles to deliver the service that will include the purchase of two electric vehicles. This approach will enable the councils to test electric vehicle technology and provide  me to make changes to depot and vehicle workshop infrastructure needed to accommodate the new technology.

Before the weekly food waste service is introduced, the councils will use so ware to develop more efficient refuse and recycling collec on routes.

Residents will con nue to be able to use the council’s website to check their bin collec on day as well as to sign up for reminders to put their bin out by downloading the free smartphone app.

Councillor Vicki Wells, Worthing’s cabinet member for environmental services, said: “Food waste collec ons have been a priority for residents and the administra on for over two years. Although the council has secured enough funding for a phased service, I am very disappointed that we can’t afford to roll out the scheme in its en rety.

“I will con nue pressing for increased community compos ng schemes to follow the success at Victoria Park and also press for alterna ve fuelled vehicles, ensuring we future proof our waste fleet for the environment.”

Li lehampton Bonfire Event

Past, Present and Future

Li lehampton first had a bonfire society in 1885. In 1905, during the last parade held by that Victorian society, members dressed as North American Indians quite possibly for the first  me. A er that, it was not un l 1952 that the present bonfire society was formed and its first celebra on was held that year to mark the corona on of Queen Elizabeth II.

The society was a huge success and members a ended parades to mark the New Year celebra ons in London, minibuses full of costumed members a ended mee ngs of fellow bonfire socie es throughout Sussex. The event itself was a big hit with hundreds of ac ve members, huge crowds in a endance and much money raised for good causes. Thus, for the past 73 years, the Li lehampton Bonfire Society has put on a fabulous free event on the last Saturday of October a costumed torch‐lit parade through the town featuring local groups with marching bands, dancing children, steam engines, illuminated floats and more. The parade winds through the streets to the green, where an enormous bonfire is lit and an awesome fireworks display lights up the sky. The event brings visitors to the town and local shops, hotels and restaurants benefit from the increased foo all. The event is much loved by local people and crowds are es mated to be in the region of 15,000 to 20,000 people. In recent years, the commi ee has had to cancel the event several  mes due to adverse weather and, of course, the pandemic. We are well on course this year for a celebra on on Saturday 26th October. There will be a few changes due to the seafront regenera on works. The route will be changed and parking in the town will be reduced. We urge the public to an cipate this and plan accordingly. And the future? Events of this kind are challenging to put on. They are expensive and health and safety means that corners may not be cut. The organisers of these events love the tradi on of the whole thing and this is a poor fit with today’s environmentally conscious public and officials. Laser light displays, drone displays and electric torches look pre y, but are expensive and lack the tradi on that we love. And organising these events is a labour of love involving many hours of planning and fundraising throughout the year.

Sadly, it seems likely that such events will dwindle and fail.

In Li lehampton our biggest stumbling blocks currently are:

1) raising the >£31,000 needed

2) finding volunteers to help with the street collec on on the night

3) finding marshals to man the road closures

4) managing the ever‐growing complexi es and expense of health and safety requirements

5) an ageing and dwindling membership with a lack of volunteers to fill jobs such as bonfire guarding and clearing up a er the event.

So, how can we save the event? Financial support is vital. You could help with our appeal to the town council for the reinstatement of the service funding agreement. If they are inundated with appeals for support for the bonfire event, maybe they would reconsider for 2025? We do, of course, understand that they are under pressure to make savings and cut costs and maybe they can not help us ‐ but at least if we all appeal, then they will understand the love the people of the town have for this event. Please use the link to tell the council your views: www.li lehampton‐tc.gov.uk/ feedback

We have a crowd‐funding appeal ‐ Just Giving www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/ Li lehamptonBonfire‐2024

If you run a business locally you may be able to sponsor the event ‐  www.li lehamptonbonfiresociety.co.uk/2024/0 5/06/2024‐sponsors/

If you wish to volunteer as a street collector or a marshal please email to Secretary@li lehamptonbonfiresociety.co.uk

By working together, we can save the society and the event.

Li lehampton Fridge Needs a New Home!

It was a busy summer for the volunteers at the Li lehampton Community Fridge. Come rain or shine, teams of volunteers were out reducing food waste by collec ng surplus food from stores across the area, delivering it to St James Church Hall and processing it ready for our customers.

In addi on, summer holiday kids’ clubs benefi ed from surplus bread, fruit and vegetables as food was made available to the families who joined in various holiday ac vi es in schools, churches and outdoors with Freedom Leisure’s Ac ve Play team. Meanwhile, the fortnightly community café LA Second Chance served delicious meals on a pay‐as‐you‐feel basis, using the high‐quality surplus food rescued by our collectors. We now urgently need a new home. Our me at St James is rapidly coming to an end as the building and church are set to close permanently soon. We would be very happy to hear from any organisa on willing to rent space it doesn’t use during the day, a sports club for example, or a building with an underused area such as a warehouse.

Royal Visitor Opens Blind Veterans

Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Edinburgh, visited the Blind Veterans new south coast home in Rus ngton, seeing first‐hand the difference the charity makes to the lives of the blind veterans we support.

Blind Veterans UK Rus ngton Centre Manager

Lesley Garven MBE, said: “A er an ini al phased opening, par cularly ensuring that our small number of permanent residents were se led in, the building is now opera ng at full capacity, welcoming blind veterans from across the country for holidays, themed and ac vity weeks and for specific training and rehabilita on. We had over 80 years of history at our Brighton centre, but we’ve had such a warm welcome from the local community in Rus ngton that I know we’ll be making all new memories here.”

On the tour of the building, The Duchess of Edinburgh met with veterans who served in WWII and blind veteran archers. She also tried her hand at some mosaic making with veterans who enjoy art and cra .

Her Royal Highness also assisted with the ceremonial reburial of a  me capsule dug up from our former centre in Brighton and marched to Rus ngton by a group of blind veterans last summer.

The  me capsule, buried in 2015 to mark 100 years of Blind Veterans UK, contains items and documents detailing the organisa on’s history. Among them is a talking watch, the first piece of equipment offered to every Blind Veterans UK beneficiary. The capsule will be opened in 2115, 100 years a er it was buried.

The Duchess also unveiled a very special plaque, carved from wood and made by two

blind veterans, Peter and Gary, who have been supported by the charity to con nue their hobby of woodworking.

One of the blind veterans who had the opportunity to meet The Duchess was Alan Walker. Alan started the whole visit off when he was given the responsibility of raising the Royal Standard when the Royal party arrived.

He also had the opportunity to talk to Her Royal Highness in the new gym.

Alan said: “I serve as a standard bearer for Blind Veterans UK, so it really is the ul mate honour to raise that Royal Standard for the me The Duchess of Edinburgh was with us.

“I was also proud to speak to Her Royal Highness and get across the impact the charity has had on me since I lost my sight.”

Alan lost his sight on Christmas Day in 2012. He was hospitalised with a pneumococcal infec on in his eyes and brain, which caused him to become completely blind in his le  eye and have only 30 per cent sight in his right.

He began to receive support from Blind Veterans UK in 2013 and since then, we have supported him in retraining as a gym instructor.

He now represents the charity at events na onwide as a standard bearer.

He was also one of a group of blind veterans who contributed to the design and layout of the new Rus ngton Centre.

Li lehampton Shopmobility has moved!

A er over 25 years at our former premises in St Mar n’s Lane, Li lehampton Shopmobility had to move out over the Easter weekend; this was due to our former landlord’s wish to sell the property.

Our new address is 92 High Street, Li lehampton BN17 5AG and we are now in the Manor House Car Park, just in front of the Li lehampton Town Council & Museum. We thank Arun District Council for saving our charity from closing altogether by ren ng their premises to us.

Li lehampton Shopmobility is a local independent charity that is supported by grants, dona ons and fundraising. We specialise in providing good value mobility solu ons to meet our members’ needs.

We hire scooters, wheelchairs and rollators. Scooter training outside is a must for first‐ me users to ensure their safety and the safety of the general public. Our services are open to the disabled and temporarily disabled, to locals and holiday‐makers. All scooter users must be 16 years or older. We have a modest annual membership charge and we endeavour to keep costs to a minimum to be affordable to everyone.

You will discover our scooters are all named a er trustees, volunteers and customers both past and present, who have helped the charity and we have greatly appreciated the work they have freely donated to us.

Our scooters are suitable for the majority of users and occasions and some of our scooters are portable, so small enough to fit in the boot of a car, thus providing members with the freedom to go far and wide. Medical appointments, local a rac ons, ge ng your hair done, breeze along the seafront or simply to go shopping we have the solu ons to meet your needs.

Our equipment is well‐maintained and regularly updated to ensure reliability.

Whatever your needs, we are here to help and offer free informa on and advice.

We also sell many disability aids through our supplier, Clearwell Mobility. If there is an item that a customer has seen in the free Clearwell catalogue, we can order it for delivery to our shop. In the catalogue, there are o en two prices on items; the prices in brackets are for those en tled to VAT exemp on and providing the customer signs the VAT exemp on form, they can then pay the lower price.

There is quite a list of VAT long‐term illnesses and many customers are not aware they are en tled to pay the lesser amount – the most used long‐term illnesses are arthri s, asthma and diabetes, for some examples.

Another service we offer is the compe vely priced Pit Stop vale ng service by appointment only, as some scooter owners cannot clean their scooters themselves.

Please check out our new Facebook page, which is now named Shopmobility Li lehampton as unfortunately our previous Facebook page of many years was hacked. If you want to hire a vehicle, contact us on email li lehampton.shopmobility@gmail.com or call 01903 733004

One Moment for One Crew

Li lehampton RNLI takes part in special 200th anniversary photo moment

On Thursday 1st August, Royal Na onal Lifeboat Ins tu on (RNLI) representa ves from Li lehampton par cipated in a special photo moment – One Moment for One Crew – to create a photographic record of those involved with the lifesaving charity in this, its 200th anniversary year.

The charity, which was founded in 1824, asked its volunteers and staff  from around the UK and Ireland to take a photo of themselves, their crew or their team, at as close to 18:24 on 1.8.24 as possible.

Whether lifeguards on a beach, lifeboat crew at a sta on, fundraisers at an event, or volunteers in a museum – all involved with the charity have been encouraged to submit a photo of themselves represen ng their RNLI role at wherever they may be on this date and  me.

Representa ves including lifeboat crew, shore crew, launch authori es, fundraisers, shop volunteers, visits officers and water safety crew from Li lehampton RNLI took part. The photos have been uploaded to an online portal and will be used to create a montage image.

Everyone from Li lehampton RNLI gathered outside Li lehampton Lifeboat Sta on, in Li lehampton Harbour, with the sta on’s two lifeboats – Renee Sherman and Ray of Hope –for the historic moment.

The RNLI celebrated its 200th anniversary on 4th March this year, and this photographic moment is one of a range of events and programmes which the charity has organised to mark its bicentenary.

Anjie Rook, RNLI Associate Director, who is overseeing the RNLI’s 200th anniversary programmes, says: “The RNLI has been saving lives at sea for 200 years thanks to its incredible people – the courageous lifeboat crews and lifeguards who put their own lives at risk to save others; the dedicated fundraisers who raise the income to power those rescues; the commi ed volunteers who give their own  me in a range of other roles such as giving out water safety advice or helping to run our retail shops and museums, and the staff who provide vital support to our volunteers.”

“We have encouraged anyone who has some form of involvement with the RNLI to par cipate in this special One Moment for One Crew photographic event, to capture a record of everyone who, at this moment in  me, is playing some part in the RNLI’s lifesaving work, con nuing its legacy and securing its future.

“During our 200th anniversary year, we have been remembering our past, celebra ng the lifesaving service we provide today, and aiming to inspire future genera ons of lifesavers and supporters. One Moment for One Crew is very much about celebra ng the people of today’s RNLI and, we hope, inspiring those future genera ons who will take the RNLI into its third century of lifesaving.”

Since the RNLI was founded in 1824, its volunteer crews and lifeguards have saved over 146,000 lives, which equates to an average of two lives saved every day for 200 years.

Founded in a London tavern on 4th March 1824 following an appeal from Sir William Hillary, who lived on the Isle of Man and witnessed many shipwrecks, the RNLI has con nued saving lives at sea throughout the past two centuries. Today, it operates 238 lifeboat sta ons around the UK and Ireland, including four on the River Thames, and has seasonal lifeguards on 238 lifeguarded beaches around the UK. It designs and builds its own lifeboats and runs domes c and interna onal water safety programmes.
