My wife and I moved here from South London 8 years ago. It was the best decision we have ever made.

What is your background?

I worked as a police officer in London for over 30 years. This was followed by a further 10 years as a police inves gator with Surrey and Sussex Police. My career brought me into contact with many vic ms of crime, so I know, first hand, the devasta on crime can cause.

What made you want to become a councillor?

I have spent my whole career in public service and have always tried to make a difference.

The Parish Council has a big influence on the way the Village is run and I wanted to put my experience to good use, by becoming part of an already successful team.

What do you hope to achieve in the area during your Ɵme as a councillor?

We are very fortunate to live in a low crime area. My priority is to do as much as we can to ensure that this doesn’t change. Maintaining and improving the presenta on of the Village plays a big part in this. The floral displays, clean streets and dy public spaces not only reduce crime, but also reduce the fear of crime. I would like to develop a closer rela onship with Sussex Police, so that any developing issues can be iden fied quickly and responded to accordingly. Ul mately, I am hoping to play a small part in ensuring Rus ngton con nues to be a great place to live.

How wet does it need to get?

Richard Cohen, FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner

Nsure Financial Services 01903 821010

We all like to think that squirreling a bit of money away for a rainy day can lead to contentment, security and peace of mind and in the main that’s true. Business owners in par cular feel like cash in the bank offers addi onal security and leaves them with a feeling that, if something was to happen, they would be a bit more financially safe. Although I can’t disagree with that, hoarding excessive cash away in your business can be incredibly inefficient ‐ when it comes to rainy days, even Noah only had to deal with 40 of them.

Yes, there is always the comfort of something to fall back on if mes get a li le tough, but the nega ves of holding too much collateral far outweigh the posi ves. Firstly, your business current account is unlikely to be paying you any interest, whereas a business savings account currently pays as much as 4%, switching things up or simply just moving them around can be hugely beneficial.

Secondly, it’s incredibly tax inefficient! Pension contribu ons are a great way to maximise your business’s tax efficiency. They are removed from the company profits therefore reducing your corpora on tax burden, they sit in an Inheritance Tax (IHT) free environment and any growth you make is tax free. Plus, they offer a much broader range of investment op ons and you can even keep a savings account within your pension, just in case it does decide to pour down.

The issues faced by small businesses and small business owners are vast. Financially speaking, having a strong balance sheet should be a good thing, but there are many ways to make sure that your money can work harder for you.

If you would like to take a deeper dive, feel free to get in touch.

RusƟngton man runs across ArcƟc in charity fundraiser for childhood friend Dan Day, a 27‐year‐old gardener from Rus ngton, Sussex, has undertaken a mammoth challenge in a bid to raise vital funds and awareness for stem cell transplant charity, Anthony Nolan.

Dan took on the challenge of running the Polar Circle Marathon, which took place in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, on 28th October.

Dan ran in memory of his childhood friend Alex Bryant, who died in March 2023 a er being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).

The two grew up together and formed a close friendship. Dan credits Alex with helping him to put life into perspec ve and changing his focus.

This led to Dan choosing to take on not one, but two fundraising ac vi es in Alex’s memory.

On the 7th of October Dan undertook the Spartan Beast, a 21km obstacle race – but Dan felt one challenge simply was not enough to honour his friend.

Dan says: “I always had the undeserved honour of a friend like Alex. He always held me accountable, always ques oned why I didn’t take care of myself, always pushed me to strive for more. With everything that happened to Alex, it has helped me realise that I should, and absolutely can, help impact other people’s lives in a really posi ve way, and I see that as Alex’s enduring legacy.”

Alex, who worked as a lifeguard in Li lehampton, Sussex was diagnosed with AML in 2017. Over the next 5 years he received three stem cell transplants, including two from unrelated donors. Despite these transplants prolonging Alex’s life, he died on the 20th of March 2023 at the age of 25.

Dan firmly believes that Alex would strongly support his undertaking of the Polar Circle Marathon. With arc c tundra and endless ice as the backdrop, the choice in marathon was selected to push Dan to his limit in honour of Alex and to help others who are going through stem cell therapy.

20

Dan spoke a er his marathon: “I always knew that this challenge was going to push me to my limit, but while I was running I thought about how Alex was constantly tested to his limits, and never complained or faltered. He truly gave me the inspira on I needed to dig deep to get it done, and to have completed this challenge in honour of him has given me a sense of fulfilment that I can't explain! I know he was with me every step of the way and I hope I've done him proud.”

Kirsty Mooney, Head of Supporter Led Fundraising at Anthony Nolan, said: “Fundraisers like Dan help raise crucial funds for Anthony Nolan, that not only help recruit new poten al donors to the stem cell register, but also allow cri cal research to be conducted that can lead to new treatments. By undertaking a challenge like this, Dan is helping many other pa ents poten ally have a second chance at life.”

ResidenƟal and Commercial Conveyancing Our Property Team, based at our Li lehampton office, is headed up by Rob Fawce , Solicitor/ Managing Partner, who qualified in 2006, with Lisa May, MCILEX Conveyancing Execu ve, who has passed 16 exams since 2016 and has achieved the CILEX Level 6 Diploma in Law and Prac ce. We have 3 experienced Assistants, and a Property Consultant, Timothy Pi . We also have a vast wealth of local knowledge and understanding.

Rob Fawce deals with both residen al and commercial transac ons, and Lisa May deals with residen al conveyancing.

It is widely known that moving home is one of the most stressful things that we have to deal with. With this in mind, our Property Team offer professional support and advice, and aim to provide a high quality and “hands on” approach in the hope that we can make the moving experience a much be er one for everyone.

For those who looked to move home in 2023, it was especially challenging following the rise in interest rates and the economy in general, which caused a slow down in the housing market. For 2024 it is hoped that there will be signs of improvement leading to a more buoyant housing market.

The commercial property market has remained busy despite the challenges men oned, with businesses looking to move premises, purchase new premises, etc., which is very encouraging.

If you are thinking of moving or have a commercial property query, please contact Rob Fawce or Lisa May, who will be very pleased to help you.

Farewell to two of our All about Distributors Two of our longest serving distributors, Graham and Mike, are stepping down a er delivering magazines for us for almost ten years. Both live locally and have delivered in many of our areas. The All about Magazines Team are very sad to see them go and thank them for the wonderful job they have done over so many years.

Graham had these comments about his me delivering over the years :

interest as some homes changed hands and others were transformed with extensions. I have seen new developments grow and it was sad to see the green fields being built on and concreted over.

“I have met some lovely people whilst delivering the All about Magazines in East Preston, Ferring, Rus ngton and Li lehampton for Helen and Caroline.

“I have enjoyed looking at the gardens as the seasons changed and as they were developed and redesigned over me. I watched with

“One of my rounds was Kingley Gate which did not exist when I started. It was interes ng to see it grow, although not an easy round to plan with so many small cul‐de‐sacs!

“On several occasions I have covered a Ferring round and the best thing about it was that it took me down to the Blue Bird café on the beach. The perfect excuse to stop for a bacon sarnie and a cup of tea!”

Modern Den stry at Ferring Dental Prac ce

by Natnael Desta ‐ Associate Den st “Teeth are always in style,” remarked Dr Suess. Specifically when healthy, I would like to add. A gleaming beau ful smile: even, aligned teeth ‐ who would decline such an offer?

Modern den stry techniques make repairing, straightening, replacing, whitening, or removing teeth an ever more accessible and predictable way of safely improving one’s appearance and func on.

Yet many of us walk around with smiles we are unhappy with, some mes even embarrassed by. We walk around with broken teeth, some that are sensi ve, some that are painful. We have gums that bleed or gaps that bother us; stains that we’ve always wanted to remove but never got around to it, or that crown which we’ve always wanted to get replaced because it just doesn’t match the others..

But there’s always something else to do, isn’t there? So we put up with things and wait for the quieter day when nobody is making any demands of us and maybe we’ll get round to it then. In any case – nothing hurts right now.

Two problems with that. Firstly, the quieter day is never coming. Sorry to break it to you like that. Secondly, the bad news about that plan is that generally it’s only in advanced stages that dental issues make themselves known to us with serious symptoms which cannot be missed and some mes cannot be fixed. In early stages however, dental issues are o en pain free and it may remain “hidden” from you. That’s why we recommend regular visits to see the den st to iden fy issues before they occur and reduce risk of other issues occurring. Early preven on results in li le or no requirement for complex den stry. Our Dental Subscrip on is designed to put preven on to the fore with all consulta ons included plus regular hygiene visits. Our purpose is to spot things developing early on and put things back on track to health.

we have been too busy, or simply unable to look a er our own needs or wishes because of other important things to deal with. As we now enter a new year, considering our own needs and wishes may be of value to ourselves as we move forward in life.

Maybe you haven’t been for years and going to the den st is simply not something you factor in to your life. Maybe you worry that it’s too late.

Why not make 2024 the year you get it all sorted and reclaim your mouth both in terms of health and in terms of the way they look.

That tooth you wanted fixed, that gap you wanted replaced, or that whiter smile you’ve longed for ‐ the confidence you’ve desired is within reach. A simple ini al examina on and detailed treatment plan is the best way to start your den stry journey towards a more confident smile.

We work within a mul disciplinary team at Abbots Lodge Dental Prac ce. We can offer solu ons for gum issues, straightening, removing teeth, replacing teeth, whitening teeth, or simply checking if everything is ok. We will direct you to the correct clinician for you to achieve your goals. Why not start your year by booking in with one of our den sts to gain a greater understanding of your oral health, and help us support your journey in achieving your goals.

Each week we have a `sales table’, for bring and buy items, or a Raffle. This raises money for our elected local charity of the year. Monies collected are presented at our AGM, followed by a `Silent Auc on’ to start off our fund towards the following year’s charity.

The charity for 2022/2023 was Demen a Research. In past years we have donated to the `OUTSINGCANCER’ choir, `Safe In Sussex’ which 30

Inheritance Tax and Old Wills Stephen Sampson, Head of Private Client at Monan Gozze LLP and an expert in Wills and Inheritance Tax, looks at why an old Will could increase the Inheritance Tax on your estate. At the me of wri ng, I’ve just listened to the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement. No changes to Inheritance Tax were announced, despite all the rumours beforehand.

So how much Inheritance Tax will be paid when you die? Anything le to a spouse or charity is exempt. A er that, Inheritance Tax is charged at 40% above your Nil Rate Band.

What is your maximum Nil Rate Band? This is a very complex area, but the basics are:  Individual without children or

grandchildren: £325,000.  Individual with children or grandchildren:

£500,000.  Married couple/Civil Partners without children or grandchildren: £650,000.  Married couple/Civil Partners with children or grandchildren: £1million.

Prior to 2017, the maximum Nil Rate Band was £325,000 for an individual, and £650,000 for a married couple. However, un l late 2007, the maximum Nil Rate for an individual or a married couple was only £325,000.

The main way for a married couple to save Inheritance Tax before October 2007 was to create Nil Rate Band Discre onary Trusts in their Wills.

However, the 2017 changes that increased the Nil Rate Band for a married couple from

£650,000 to £1million only allows that increase of £350,000 if your home is given outright to your children or grandchildren when you die.

This means that if your Wills contain a Nil Rate Band Discre onary Trust, you are likely to miss out on that £350,000. Your estate will pay an extra £140,000 in Inheritance Tax, so your family will inherit £140,000 less, just because you never got around to upda ng your Wills.

What ac on do you need to take? First, locate your copy of your Will and check the date on it.

If it was made before 2008, it needs to be reviewed urgently as your estate is at risk of paying extra Inheritance Tax when you die. If your Will was made before April 2017, it also needs to be reviewed, although it is less likely that changes will need to be made to save Inheritance Tax. Second, contact me to book a free, no obliga on, ini al appointment to review your Will. I am based in our Arundel office, but free home visits are available.

You can contact me by calling Monan GozzeƩ LLP on 01903 927055, or by email to ssampson@monangozzeƩ.com

Beef Stroganoff with Herb Pasta Prepara on me ‐ 10 mins (+45 mins freezer me) Cooking me ‐ 20 mins Serves ‐ 4 Ingredients 400g beef rump steak, trimmed 1 tbsp bu er 1 tbsp olive oil 300g small bu on mushrooms 400g pappardelle pasta 3 shallots, finely chopped 1 tbsp plain flour 300ml beef stock 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tbsp tomato purée 3 tbsp crème fraiche ½ x 20g pack flat‐leaf parsley, chopped.

Method Freeze the beef for 45 mins before you begin.

This makes it easy to slice really thinly. Season well.

Melt half the bu er and half the oil in a large, non‐s ck frying pan. Turn the heat up and quickly sear the beef in batches un l browned on both sides. Remove the meat and set aside.

Repeat with the mushrooms, then set aside with the beef. Boil the pasta.

Add the remaining bu er and oil to the pan and so en the shallots for a few mins. S r in the flour for 1 min, then gradually add in the stock, s rring con nuously to prevent lumps. Simmer to allow it to thicken for 5 mins, then s r in the mustard, tomato purée, crème fraîche and seasoning. Simmer for one more minute, then return the beef and mushrooms to the pan.

Drain the pasta, toss with half the chopped parsley, season, then serve with the creamy stroganoff, sprinkled with the remaining parsley.

DistracƟon Burglary You may have heard of a “Distrac on Burglar” before. They’re also known as “bogus callers”.

Their inten on is to trick you by taking advantage of your trus ng nature or kindness and will pretend to be someone they are not in order to gain access to your home.

Some will work alone yet at mes they may work in pairs and one of them will aim to distract you so their accomplice can access your home.

They could be male, female, of any age, wearing a uniform, hi‐vis clothing, everyday clothes or even smartly dressed.

Common methods that we’ve seen used before: they may pretend to be from a care agency, the council or a u lity company inves ga ng a gas, water or sewage leak. They may pretend to be unwell and need a glass of water or claim to be in a hurry / an emergency and they need to get into your home quickly.

Our advice is to be extremely vigilant about unexpected callers. If you don’t know them or you’re not expec ng anyone then don’t let them in.

Put the door chain on before answering the door or use a door viewer to see who’s there.

If you are unsure whether they are genuine then always ask for iden fica on. An official visitor won’t mind being asked for I.D. – this goes for everyone, even the emergency services.

If you’re s ll unsure, then ask them to wait outside whilst you call the customer services department of whichever company / organisa on they claim to be from. Close the door while you do this.

If the person is asking for a favour, such as a glass of water or to use your toilet, then direct them to a public place or a nearby shop. It’s natural to want to help others but sadly this is a technique distrac on burglars some mes use to take advantage of others.

For pre‐planned appointments with a u lity company, request that a password scheme be set up. If at any me you are concerned, then call us straight away on 999. Remember – If in doubt, keep them out!

New Year, New Garden

by Rachel Leverton When the outlook is cold and bleak pour a mug of hot chocolate and start planning for spring.

We’d all like a dream garden, right? But is your dream garden the same as your neighbour’s?

Probably not. Whether you’re designing a garden from scratch or remodelling the one you have there is no ‘one size fits all’ garden design.

We’ve created this brief guide: Budget Be clear about this. There’s no point coming up with a grand design if you can’t afford to carry it through.

Time If you work full‐ me and have an ac ve social life you’ll need to think ‘low‐maintenance.’

Consult your family What do they want from the garden? Small children will want a space to play; the adults might want a space to eat and entertain; you might want to grow your own veg, or herbs.

Is it possible? How big is the garden? How much sun does it get? It’s no good planning lots of flowerbeds if the garden is in deep shade for most of the day.

Firm up your ideas Do you want grass or paving? How much should be devoted to borders or flowerbeds? Will you need a new fence or would you rather have a natural hedge? Will you need professional help with any hard landscaping?

Make a scale plan Measure all the major distances in your garden. It’s a good idea to take them from a fixed point, such as the corner of your house. Try 1/4 or 1/2 inch = 1 foot if you’re not metric, and 1cm or 2cm = 1m if you are. When complete, make several copies and draw all your ideas on to the plans un l you come up with one you really like.

Arun Art looks forward and not back But first, a liƩle glance over our shoulders!

During the pandemic, members of Arun Art Society discovered just how powerful was our love of art. It offered solace in those dark days and a way to make sense of the changing world around us.

Interes ngly, looking at some of the work created then, it is not dark and dismal in nature but bright and filled with hope. Who couldn't smile seeing Coco the dog, springing along the beach, in Jan Barne 's pain ng below?

The only thing missing for the Art Society was that we were more o en mee ng via Zoom than in person. Thankfully, those days are past.

Once more, we meet weekly at the Village Hall and there are more of us than ever before.

A er the usual shuffle of chairs and easels, the atmosphere in the room quietens as ar sts se le to their work. At some point, there is a change. People move around, check out what others are doing, exchange ideas, offer advice.

Ar sts may work alone but enjoy nothing be er than a good chat!

The snowy scene by Ted Poole (above), was produced in a recent session. It may look a bit chilly, but that watery sun will soon warm up.

Just in me for our outdoor sessions which run from May to September, allowing us to visit many wonderful Sussex loca ons.

And throughout the year, we will enjoy monthly Saturday demonstra ons and workshops in the company of first‐class professional ar sts, sharing their skill and passion for art. Guests are welcome at Demonstra ons and, of course, we will look forward to seeing friends old and new to our annual summer exhibi on. This will be in July, linked to the Ferring Fes val.

Volunteer Fair 2024 Saturday 13th January 2024, Rustington Methodist Church Are you interested in volunteering but not sure how to find out more about it? Perhaps you’re thinking about how to open some new doors and make a change for 2024? Come along to our Volunteer Fair and meet lots of local organisations who will be able to answer all of your questions about volunteering and tell you about the roles they have available.

Why should you consider volunteering? Well, it’s a great way to make new friends for a start!

But there’s way more to it – you can learn new skills or perhaps bring your existing skills to an organisation and really make a difference in your community. Not only that, but volunteering is GOOD FOR YOU! Research has shown that giving your time to others leads to better cognition, better general and mental health as well as maybe even having a longevity effect in older adults.

A new study in the Journal of Happiness also found that as well as the health benefits, people that volunteered felt happier and more fulfilled in their daily lives. Seemingly, the more

50

time they invested and the length of time they gave only increased the effect.

In the current cost of living crisis our local charities and community groups have never been more important. Even just a few hours of your time a month will make a huge difference to them, to you and to all the people those organisations help.

The Volunteer Fair is organised by Voluntary Action Arun and Chichester and takes place from 10.30am‐1.30pm on Saturday 13th January at Rustington Methodist Church, Claigmar Road, Rustington, BN16 2NL. Come and speak to local organisations who are looking for volunteers JUST LIKE YOU! For more information scan the QR code.

Café manager Louise Dawkes, whose background is in hospital catering management says: “It really is a very exci ng project for Li lehampton – taking food that would be wasted and making meals from it – but also providing a social focus

52

for people to sit and enjoy good food with friends. There is great poten al for this to develop and provide a valuable service to the community.”

Sampling the 3 course menu at a launch event, volunteers all agreed that the food was delicious and they can’t wait to go back again!

Arunners Running Club Arunners is a Li lehampton‐based running club aimed at people who can already run 5k but are keen to improve. We currently have over 150 members ranging from under 20s to over 75s and equal numbers of men and women.

We meet every Wednesday evening at 6.30pm outside the Windmill Cinema and Theatre in the winter and at different loca ons in the stunning Sussex countryside in the summer. We also have social runs on other days of the week and some members take part in races of varying distances from 5K to Ultra‐Marathons, so there is something to suit everybody. Most importantly, we are friendly and if you come along you will find plenty of people who are very happy to "Run at the speed of a chat". If you are interested in joining us then please visit our website arunners.wildapricot.org and follow the links to register for a free six week trial period.

Running is the very simplest form of exercise.

You just need a pair of running shoes and somewhere safe to do it. Even a very small amount of running will bring you immediate benefits as your heart and lungs respond to the effort you are asking for, and your heart, lungs and other muscles will gradually improve.

However, many people find it difficult to get started with running. Arunners offer a simple way to start called Couch to 5K. This will get you going in very gentle stages over nine weeks un l you get to 5K. You can do this on your own, but for many people an easier way is to get some more direct support. Our trained running leaders guide you on the Couch to 5K course using the NHS plan. The goal at the end is to run the Li lehampton 5K Parkrun. We run C25K courses several mes a year according to demand. Email ian_pu @msn.com for course details.

Parkrun which is 5K takes place at 9am on Saturdays and is en rely free. You register online and are given a barcode. Take part in any Parkrun, have your barcode scanned at the finish and the results are emailed to you that day.

54

There are Parkruns at Li lehampton, Bognor, Worthing, Hove, Brighton, Horsham, Lancing, Chichester and in future Arundel. Some Parkrunners have joined Arunners in recent years, and many Arunners are involved in organising and taking part in the Li lehampton Prom Parkrun, so you will soon see familiar faces.

The club is a member of the West Sussex Fun Run League and the Sussex Grand Prix, both offering a programme of races in Sussex, mostly on Sunday mornings. Many Arunners took part in their first race at one of these events.

£100,000 Charity Giveaway Thirty‐four Sussex chari es shared a £100,000 dona on from re red East Preston businessman David Hunt. The proposal was adver sed in the Sussex press and on social media, and over 150 applica ons were received.

The money was to be divided amongst the most rewarding chari es and community projects that would apply. It was decided to make approximately 30 awards ranging from £20,000 down to £1,000.

A selec on panel debated the merits of each applica on and finally se led on 34 Award Winners. There was not one clear winner for the £20,000 grant so it was decided to have two £10,000 grants.

Catherine Mackenzie, Dr Lucy Brennan, Jules Chatterton, Rachael Oram Front, David Hunt (Founder)

The Trustees awarded the two top grants of £10,000 to Cancer United, which provides suppor ve community services for those affected by cancer, and Worthing Mencap which champions the rights and provides support to people with learning disabili es.

The grant awards were distributed at an inspiring ceremony held on Wednesday 22nd November, when representa ves of the selected chari es a ended to receive their grant. David chose the pres gious Ham Manor Golf Club, an elegant Grade II listed building, as the venue for the Award presenta on A light buffet was served for the award winners together with their guests. The services of a local professional photographer were engaged, Jacqueline Rackman, who offered her services for free together with her associate Clifford.

The ceremony commenced at 3pm, the MC was Dr Lucy Brennan, a Trustee, aided by fellow trustee Catherine Mackenzie who presented the cheques. Also helping were Trustees Jules, Rachael and Debbie. Every award winner was given the opportunity to give a brief descrip on 58

of their own charity. Then there were a few words with the founder, David Hunt, now a wheelchair user due to spinal cord damage.

Some of the lucky recipients of the funding were Arun Counselling Service awarded £3,000, Li lehampton Shopmobility awarded £1,899, Crea ve Heart awarded £2,000, Friends of St Mary’s Church East Preston awarded £2,000,, CYCALL awarded £2,000, Wellspring awarded £1,000, Acorn Pregnancy Centre awarded £2,500, 4Sight Vision Support awarded £2,815, Waves Music Therapy awarded £2,000 and Ferring Country Centre awarded £5,000.

David was prompted into saying a few words at the end and gave his reasons for giving money to charity. He explained that it was his own poor upbringing which encouraged him to feel empathy with the less fortunate and his desire to help impoverished people. He hopes to carry on his philanthropic work and is excited to launch the new £100,000 Giveaway as an annual community grant scheme, funds permi ng, for the people of Sussex and hopefully next year to include Surrey as well.

LiƩlehampton Bonfire Future under threat aŌer 11th hour cancellaƟon Last October the Li lehampton Bonfire Society had to cancel their tradi onal torchlight parade, bonfire and fireworks event due to adverse weather condi ons and flooding in the area. The fire service naturally had to a end to these emergencies and could not guarantee the society the support it required to run a safe event.

This cancella on caused a massive financial loss to the Society and they are genuinely unsure they will be able to survive. The society (LBS) were running at 100% of cost prior to cancella on. LBS make no secret of the fact that their event is expensive. Costs rise annually and were to have been approximately £31,000 last year. A full event would therefore cost roughly £33,000 in 2024. In cancelling the event they did not recoup all of the money back. They es mate that even having cancelled the event that it will cost roughly £15,000. This will significantly reduce their company savings and puts in jeopardy the en re future of the event.

LBS's annual bonfire event is extremely popular and brings people from far and wide to join the celebra on.

It is a local tradi on with a 71 year history. It brings income to the town and to local businesses.

It is a feather in the cap for Li lehampton, something that not many other towns have.

The parade offers a rare opportunity for local groups, clubs and businesses to showcase themselves.

This annual event gives something to the community ‐ a rarity these days.

Last year LBS had a racted 33 different groups to join the parade from as far afield as London and The Isle of Wight.

The Li lehampton Bonfire Society is a part of a longstanding tradi on in Sussex and a member of the Sussex Associa on.

The bonfire socie es of 9 Sussex towns were to have a ended our event in 2023. Every year we see such tradi ons gradually dilute and slowly disappear.

Li lehampton lost its summer carnival parade 60

just over 10 years ago ‐ we do not wish to lose this event also!

The Society has genuine concern for the future of the event. The commi ee are looking at a variety of op ons going forward. They are seeking sponsorship from a variety of sources ‐ this ar cle being one of those. LBS has set the date of 7th February by which they hope to have raised in the region of £10,000. If they fall short of this target then they will not be able to begin to plan for a full parade, bonfire and fireworks event for 2024 and it will likely never return.

If you wish to support the Li lehampton Bonfire Society to be able to go forward then now is the me to get behind them ‐ if you wait, then it may well be too late. The society has to raise a minimum of £10,000 by 7th February or their pla num jubilee event in 2022 is highly likely to have been the last event of its kind in the town.

To donate please use this QR code, speak to Mr Tyndall Jones in the sports shop in the town or visit their website.

Rhoda GarreƩ

by RusƟngton Historian Graeme Taylor How many women who now enjoy the vote, know that at one me in the la er part of the 19th Century Rhoda Garre was the most talked about and interes ng English woman because of her incessant advocacy of Women’s suffrage.

Rhoda was born at the Elton Parsonage, Derbyshire on 28 March 1841 being the daughter of the local vicar. Elton is up high in the peak district near the towns of Matlock and Bakewell.

Unlike her cousins in Aldeburgh in Suffolk, Rhoda had a fairly poor upbringing, being home schooled by the family governess. Some of her cousins were to go on to make a big name for themselves, including sisters Elizabeth Garre Anderson, Agnes Garre , and Dame Millicent Fawce .

In 1871 Rhoda (30) and her cousin Agnes (26) went to the chief firm in London to try and obtain training in interior design. The manager was inclined to make fun of them, despite finding them skilful as designers. He said: “Young women couldn’t get along with workmen. How could you swear at them? And think of nice ladies running up ladders!” Rhoda retorted, “As for swearing at the workmen, they would not need that if it were ladies who made the requests; and as for ladders, bring one here and see whether we can climb it or not!” The manager found some work for them, and they started their three‐year appren ceships.

The cousins set up their own company as interior designers in 1874 at 2 Gower Street, London. R & A Garre became the first registered company owned and run by women in the United Kingdom.

Rhoda and Agnes also wrote a book called ‘Sugges ons for House Decora on in Pain ng Woodwork and Furniture’ which passed through six edi ons and reproduc on copies are s ll available now.

Rhoda was also on the inaugural commi ee of the Society for the Protec on of Ancient Buildings with William Morris.

With regard to Women’s Suffrage, the press obviously thought Rhoda was the most prominent speaker as the two most iconic 62

pictures in the 19th Century are of Rhoda Garre speaking. One in 1872 (above) and the other in 1880.

Rhoda would go on speaking tours around the country like pop stars do today. For example, in 1872 between 19th March and 18th April, she spoke at 8 different towns in the west country at a me when travelling between places was not as easy and as comfortable as it is today.

In February 1874, Rhoda travelled north to Manchester to be the main speaker there. This was the first mee ng that Emmeline Pankhurst (Goulden at the me) went to, she was just 15.

This mee ng was to have a profound effect on her.

It was in Rus ngton at The Firs (Now, Old Orchard House) that she could relax.

Sadly, Rhoda lost her ba le with typhoid fever and bronchi s on 22nd November 1882 and is buried in the churchyard at Rus ngton, although her gravestone is no longer there.

Further informa on can be seen in my book “The Remarkable Rhoda Garre ” available at the Rus ngton Museum or to peruse in the local libraries. A blue plaque to Rhoda and Agnes can also be seen on the wall outside Old Orchard House in The Street.

Here’s how it works:  Take stock of 2023: How is your health, energy, sleep, gut, immunity, etc? Is anything ge ng worse/be er? Which area is holding you back most right now?  Find your ‘why’: Why do you want one par cular condi on to improve? What is it preven ng you from doing right now? Why is it important to change (for you and others)?

What’s likely to happen this year if you don’t?

 Are there posi

ve benefits to having this condi on? Does that ‘benefit’ make you feel strong/weak?  Decide: How do I want to feel in 2024 ‐ stronger or weaker? More joyful? More posi ve?  Be realis c ‐ don’t try and change more than one thing and keep it simple – for instance you could do worse than focusing on being well‐hydrated this year (sipping 1.5 to 2L of room temperature water through the day).  Give yourself a deadline and take stock of how well you’ve done.  Reward yourself with something that gives you joy!

May 2024 be your healthiest year yet!

Help fight record Asian hornet invasion The Bri sh Beekeepers’ Associa on (BBKA) is calling on the public to help fight a major threat to honey bees and other pollinators ‐ Asian hornets.

Numbers of the destruc ve insect rose rapidly last summer and more have been detected in the UK this last year than in the previous six years combined.

BBKA Chair, Diane Drinkwater, said: “It was extremely worrying to see so many cases last summer. We must act now to stop them from ge ng established in this country. Reports from Europe and Jersey indicate that last year was an excep onal year for Asian hornets with record numbers of queens and nests.

“We urge the public to join forces with beekeepers to protect our honey bees and other pollinators from this voracious predator.”

More than 1,000 beekeepers across the country are part of elite teams trained to provide emergency support to the Na onal Bee Unit’s (NBU) hornet hunters.

Hornet sigh ngs are filtered by the NBU, part of Defra, and teams of bee inspectors deployed to track hornets back to their nests which are then destroyed.

But the help of the eagle‐eyed public is essen al to spot the hornets which may be devouring insects or feeding on fallen fruit or ivy flowers.

Asian hornets (Vespa velu na) are slightly smaller than na ve European hornets, have yellow legs, an orange face and brown body with one yellow stripe.

Last summer beekeeper Mick Brian discovered an Asian hornet in his garden in Plymouth which eventually led to the destruc on of two nests: “We watched in stunned silence as the insect singled out a honey bee, carried it to a nearby leaf, and began to dissect it.”

Also last summer, one keen‐eyed gardener spo ed an Asian hornet in Newhaven, which was traced back to its nest and the nest was subsequently destroyed.

Just one Asian hornet can hunt down and eat 300 honey bees a day and their habit of hawking (hovering) outside the hive stops the 70

bees from collec ng nectar and pollen to feed themselves.

Diane added: “Asian hornets are wreaking havoc in Europe and we fear if they get a foot‐hold in the UK our honey bees and many other insects will be decimated here, too. They are the greatest threat to beekeeping since the Varroa mite was discovered more than 30 years ago.”

In 2023 71 Asian hornet nests were found in 55 loca ons. The last nest found, which was in Tenterden, Kent, was destroyed in November 2023.

BBKA trustee Julie Coleman, who lives in Kent where many of the hornets discovered this year have been found, said there are likely to be several reasons behind this huge rise in cases: “The fact that we seem to have a cluster around the coast in Kent, also Dorset, Plymouth, Weymouth and Hampshire makes me think they are coming across on the wind. And there could have been an overwintered nest in Kent which has sent out hiberna ng queens in the autumn.”

It is important to take care not to approach or disturb a nest. Asian hornets are not generally aggressive towards people but an excep on to this is when they perceive a threat to their nest.

People who suspect they have seen an Asian hornet should report it immediately using the phone app ‘Asian Hornet Watch’ or the online repor ng form: h ps://risc.brc.ac.uk/alert.php? species=asian_hornet

Farewell and thank you from Sparkles Angmering based Sparkles food parcels was started in March 2020, ini ally to help families in need through the pandemic. Forty‐six months later, we have distributed 200+ food parcels a month plus four years’ worth of Christmas hampers which included all the trimmings and toys for the children.

So many families from Angmering, Rus ngton, East Preston and Li lehampton have been supported, as well as those that were helped when placed in emergency accommoda on.

I have met the most amazing, kind and generous people who have helped this happen.

I’ve had people abroad send me regular monthly dona ons, other chari es sending dona ons and strangers in the street offering dona ons. St Margaret’s Church (Angmering), Li lehampton Trinity Church, Angmering Bap st Church, The Angmering Social Club, Angmering Co‐op, Cooper Adams Estate Agents and the wonderful customers and staff at Sainsburys have collected dona ons and supported me. Li lehampton District Lions Club have helped me each fortnight by delivering to the families, Meat in The Square (Angmering) have supplied all the Christmas turkeys from the beginning and Angmering Village Greens have donated Christmas veg.

However, I am sorry to say that Sparkles will be coming to an end on 31st January as 2024 is going to be a busy year for me both personally and professionally. My family is expanding, I shall be working longer hours and I cannot physically and mentally do anymore. The families were informed three months ago and I am now le ng you, the general public, know.

A massive thank you to everyone who has donated; you have been amazing but I now need more me to focus on my family and my future. The list is far too long to thank everyone individually but I do want to men on Gemma for sor ng out the accounts and Caroline for collec ng week a er week from Sainsburys.

Thank you all and whatever you do, add a li le sparkle to each day. God bless.

When bathing becomes a struggle, it’s Ɵme to make a change Crea ng a home that caters to the needs of older or less abled individuals is paramount, directly influencing their dignity and overall wellbeing.

Recognising when these tasks become challenging is crucial and this is the point when home improvements or adapta ons should be considered.

Affordability can be a concern for many, but a Government backed Disabled Facili es Grant (DFG) can award up to £30,000 for home altera ons, ensuring independence and safety.

Their friendly home surveyors visit customers to understand their bathing challenges, offering custom solu ons within budget.

Lansdowne Nurseries Update

by Sir Peter BoƩomley MP The Secretary of State, Michael Gove MP, has agreed the ‘need to ensure that se lements like Worthing, Ferring, Angmering and East Preston have the green belts around them protected. A longstanding campaign has been against the opportunis c a empts to build on the green gaps naturally dividing our dis nct communi es and providing green lungs for residents.

We join in suppor ng sensible developments of vital, new, good‐quality homes through ac ve engagement and coopera on with local residents and conserva ons groups and not concre ng over every green gap and community space in our already ghtly bounded local area.

Plans for 70 homes to be built on green space surrounding Lansdowne Nursery were rejected by Arun District Council in March, earlier this year. The developer, unhappy with this decision, submi ed an appeal to the Secretary of State which went to a hearing on the 17th of October.

The day before, on the 16th of October, I asked for reassurance from the Secretary of State that green fields between dis nct communi es ma er. The Secretary of State, Michael Gove, gave a clear answer to my ques on, sta ng that we ‘need to ensure that se lements have the green belts around them protected.’

At the inspector's hearing, his words were read out, disappoin ng the appellants, the developer, and their expensive legal team and se ng in mo on the Inspectorate’s decision.

We share in recognising the need for more homes. The new homes we need should be in the centre of villages, towns and ci es where elderly people can choose to live without the need for a car. We need starter homes for new families which could be above shops and offices and near employment opportuni es. We don’t

need our green spaces cemented over. There is no jus fica on to threaten every field, vineyard, nursery and golf club providing community space and green lungs along the south coast. We have to protect the environment.

The Planning Inspectorate agreed that the development would harm the character and appearance of the area, giving rise to intrusive sprawl and eroding the character and nature of our communi es here in Worthing and Arun.

The Inspectorate also saw through the absurd sugges on that 'concre ng over the green space at Lansdowne would offer net gains in biodiversity'.

This signals the end of this chapter and this wanton and egregious a empt to concrete over this necessary green gap between dis nct communi es.

Thank you to all who have been involved in this important campaign. We win many ba les: we can't win them all but we win more when we work together.
