Editor’s LETTER

As we go to print the weather is anything but spring-like, with a blizzard only yesterday and Sussex at a standstill, knee deep in drifting snow.

We’re hoping that by the time this April issue drops through your letterbox our front cover will be a little more representative of the current spring season, with freezing temperatures and biting gales a distant memory!

During the snow many were stranded or had exceptionally long journeys home. Our Facebook page was constantly updated with road conditions, accidents and closures, thank you to all those who posted comments to help others. We are constantly reminded what a great community spirit we have in the village and this is proving to be apparent on the BN5 facebook site. If you haven’t ‘liked’ our page yet please do so (www.facebook.com/ bn5magazine) it’s how we keep everyone informed about immediate events and has some really useful information. Our website is undergoing its final test-runs and will be available soon for those who don’t use social networking.

We hope you enjoy this issue, we’ve got some interesting articles and our news pages are flooded with stories and information. We’d just ask that you support our advertisers; without them we’d be unable to bring you BN5 each month. Shopping locally and using local service people is the best way to keep our Henfield economy healthy.

Best wishes

Copy Deadline

Copy deadline for any advertisement or editorial submission for the May issue of BN5 magazine is Friday 5 April. For editorial submissions email Emma Osman editor@bn5magazine.co.uk or just call us for a chat on 01273 494002.

APRIL 2013 | News Chestnut Tree & The Pizza Oven celebrate birthdays!

Support one of Sussexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most worthy causes by eating a gorgeous pizza from the Pizza Oven! Chestnut Tree House is celebrating its tenth year of helping hundreds of life-limited children and their families all over Sussex. The Pizza Oven is celebrating its first year of cooking delicious, hand-made, wood fired pizzas.

Between 1 March and 5 April, the Pizza Oven customers will be able to buy a scrumptious â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chestnut Tree House Specialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pizza. On Friday 5 April, all of the proceeds will be donated to a very special representative from Chestnut Tree House during the Pizza Ovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular evening visit to Steyning High Street car park. Pizza Oven customers and friends of Chestnut Tree House are invited to come along and enjoy a complementary glass of birthday bubbly that evening, between 6 and 9pm.

David â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Blower We were sad to hear that David Blower passed away on 10th February after a long illness. David (known as Joe) was a local gardener, a very interesting man with an almost encyclopaedic local knowledge. With his passing the village has lost a real Henfield character.

I was lucky enough to interview Joe for our June 12 issue and came away with some wonderful stories.

Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral was on 25 February at St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church.

We would like to send our condolences to Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Heather, son Richard and daughter Annette.

Success FOR Good as New Sale In February the Warren Playgroup held another successful Good as New Sale. We had an excellent turn out with more sellers than ever before. The playgroup made over ÂŁ1,700 and this included a large donation from Barclays bank. This money goes towards new equipment, and pays for the children to go to Woods Mill and enjoy summer outings. A very worth while event and so a very big thank you to all those who took part; from the organisers, sellers, volunteer helpers, cake bakers and excellent raffle prize sponsors who donated some fabulous prizes. And of course, thank you to those of you who came along to spend your money.

These sales are very well organised and if you have not sold your baby or child items, equipment or toys here before, you will be pleased at just how easy it is. All you need to do it register, label and price your goods and bring them along â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the helpers do the rest for you and you get your cheque sent off to you the following week! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the next sale is on 15 June and if you want to sell email contact@warrenplaygroup.co.uk for the details.

Local girl walks for Mind Mental health is an area which is hugely misunderstood, and yet it is something which massively affects us all: as individuals, friends, family members and as a community. Not to mention society as a whole. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to do a 60km sponsored walk across the

01273 494002

South Downs in May (I know! Am I â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crazyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;?!) in order to raise money for the local charity Mind in Brighton and Hove. They are a small charity that work tirelessly to support and empower ordinary people to improve their lives.

If you think this is a worthy cause and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to support a local girl (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me!) then please go to www. justgiving.com/jodie-wallis or you can text JWMC99 and the amount youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to donate to the number 70070. Otherwise you can always pop into Henfield Post Office on a Thursday or a Friday as I work behind the counter!

Other ways you might be able to support me is if you have anything you would be happy to donate that you think might make a good raffle prize. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got two months to raise as much as I can, and I would like to organise a local event including a raffle. Thank you so much for reading! If you would like to contact me to ask more, please call me on 07920227407 or e-mail jodiew33@yahoo.co.uk.

Award for PJ Barrow & Partners 37 years of hard work, learning the trade inside out and excellent customer service have paid dividends in helping PJ Barrow & Partners Ltd, Cowfold, to build a strong and loyal customer base. In any specialist industry, manufacturers and retailers must work closely together to ensure the customer receives the service they deserve throughout the life of the product they have purchased, and it is with this in mind that PJ Barrow & Partners Ltd has been recognised by Mountfield and Stiga for the excellence of the sales and service back up they have continued to provide for the owners of Mountfield and Stiga garden machinery.

Neil Nye commented â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been supplying and servicing Mountfield and Stiga lawn and garden machinery for many years and our relationship with this manufacturer is as solid today as the day we first took on the dealership. As a consequence, we are extremely proud to have received this recognition from a supplier who really cares about the customer and shares our belief in providing good old fashioned customer service.â&#x20AC;?

Dangerous dogs Henfield is a rural community, and it should come as no surprise to any of us that deer live in the surrounding countryside. Neither should it be a surprise that many of the females are pregnant at this time of year.

Sadly, some dog owners do not seem to be aware of the brutal and horrific injuries that their pets can inflict on deer.

On Friday 8 February at midday my wife and I saw two dogs, a small terrier and a larger tan coloured mastiff type chasing a mature roe deer. I set off after them into the field that leads to the river and as I came alongside the fishermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car park I could see

01273 494002

the dogs mauling a deer that was lying on the ground.

My shouts and presence caused the dogs to run off.

The deer was lying on its side, its breath rasping and its chest heaving for air. The lower mouth had been pulled away and part of the jawbone exposed. On the flank of one of the rear legs there was a gouged-out wound several inches deep. An angler heard the commotion and very kindly provided a sheet to cover the animal, and in particular its eyes, to try and calm it. My wife met the owner of the dogs who expressed his shock that his pets could have behaved in such a way.

In the next hour I spoke to our local vets, the RSPCA in Patcham and the wildlife staff at Woods Mill. Siobhan at the veterinary surgery in Partridge Green was very helpful and she alerted the wildlife ranger. We were able to cover the deer with a blanket to calm it and thankfully it remained quiet for most of the fifty or so minutes before Inspector Brett of the RSPCA and a wildlife ranger arrived to dispatch it quickly and humanely.

A female roe deerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pregnancy lasts for 10 months and the kids are born between mid-May and early June.

Roe deer usually have twins and sometimes triplets obviously she could not run as fast as the dogs. Both my wife and I are still angry that this should happen in an area that we consider a small wildlife reserve and will continue our efforts to enclose the land.

Could I please urge dog owners to either keep their dogs on a lead if they cannot exert complete control over them, or at least to only let one off the lead at-atime. Respect for wildlife should be part of the enjoyment of a walk in the countryside.

APRIL 2013 | News Local drugs raids Police discovered a cannabis factory at an industrial estate in Small Dole on Tuesday 29 January. The Horsham Neighbourhood Policing Team executed a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act at the Mackley Industrial Estate in Small Dole, where around 1,500 plants were recovered with an estimated annual yeald of around £1.3million.

Inspector Clare McKnight said: “The police acted on information provided by our local community, and recovered a significant amount of cannabis. Drugs have a large impact on many, many people within the community and are often linked to other crime such as burglary and theft. Drugs have a devastating effect on a wide variety of people and the police in Horsham are committed to holding those to account who are involved with illegal drugs. Anyone who has any concerns of information about the use of drugs or drug dealings within their local community can contact Sussex Police on 101 or independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

In relation to the raid, a 33 year-old Burgess Hill woman, a 40 year-old Brighton man and a 55 yearold Hove man have been arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis and bailed until April 25. On Wednesday 30 January a further 200 cannabis plants were found at an industrial unit in Star Road, Partridge Green after bailiffs enforced an eviction order on the unit. Enquiries are continuing.

To all dog owners in Henfield My name is Charlie and I walk to and from St Peters school. Recently there has been an increase in too much dog poo on the public footpaths. Also on the grass where my friends and I play football at the Kings Field. It is disgusting, unhealthy and very annoying.

Please will you start collecting all of your dog’s poo, if you care about the children of Henfield. “If you love your dog - love its poo - and take it with you.” Thank you.

Proposed development at West End Lane As we go to print the latest update from Tristan Fitzgerald Associates on the proposed development at West End Lane is that “an application will be made in the coming weeks.” Meanwhile, below are edited versions of a letter to Tristan Fitzgerald Associates from Tony Jackson (Henfield Community Partnership) and an open letter from Tony and Sue Bird (Stone Pit Cottage Kennels & Cattery).

From Henfield Community Partnership: The purpose of this letter is to register the Community Partnership’s objection to the proposed development.

Set out below are a few initial reasons for doing so.

• With phase 3 of the Parsonage Farm development (130 homes) being far from complete and the Manor Close development (up to 102 homes) yet to complete the Reserved Matters stage of the planning process, we have no experience of how these developments will impact the general infrastructure (including roads and parking in the centre of Henfield) and other facili-

B N5 M AG AZ I NE | 1 9

News | APRIL 2013 ties in the community. It is important that we assimilate these major increases in the numbers of people and vehicles before decisions are made about any further large scale developments in the community such as this. â&#x20AC;˘ The proposed site is an intrusion into the open countryside and will result in the loss of agricultural land still in use. Farming in particular remains important within the Henfield parish. â&#x20AC;˘ Road access for the number of vehicles likely to be generated by this development is totally inadequate via either of the two routes which would serve this site. The narrow nature of the High Street/Church Street junction in particular already presents dangers to pedestrians and vehicles alike, a situation which would be made much worse with increased traffic to and from the site. Given its layout and positioning in the Henfield Conservation Area, there is no acceptable way of making improvements. Furthermore, the number of heavy construction vehicles that would need to use this junction during construction work would create a very serious and unacceptable hazard.

We understand that HPC is currently considering the production of a Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish which will include consultation with local residents.

The proposed scheme to build in West End Lane is just the kind of ad hoc and speculative venture that Neighbourhood Plans strive to prevent.

Yours sincerely, Dr A F Jackson (Chairman)

From Stonepit Lane Kennels: Following Barrattsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exhibition there are obviously many good reasons to object to this scheme and the advert in front of March BN5 by them for your feedback is based on, in our opinion, a questionnaire in which the questions are weighted to only allow a fairly positive response. One important question however has been omitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you like your home built next door to a Boarding Kennels?â&#x20AC;? Even if you have a pet, the answer is most likely going to be a resounding NO because of the problem of noise.

Stonepit Kennels has been in Henfield for 45 years and offers a valuable service to the community and has always been a local employer, giving many young people a start in their careers in animal care. What people may not consider, is that these businesses not only cater for the annual holiday but numerous other services: If you are hospitalised and need your pet looked after, when the builders are in your home, if your relationship founders or if your pet needs to convalesce. In fact many unforeseen circumstances can necessitate the need to find somewhere secure available to care for your pet.

We appreciate that nobody wants a Kennels near them and that many in the village can hear us from a distance and every effort is made to minimise any nuisance. Barrattsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mitigation for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;noise sourceâ&#x20AC;? as shown in their presentation, i.e. mounding, vegetation, and building materials, will make absolutely no difference to noise levels, as proven at other devel-

BN5 Birds As Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing this it is still very cold outside. We have been feeding the birds since Christmas with ground seed mixed with sultanas, bread and Photograph copyright Dave Kilbey, SWT grated cheese and with fat balls hanging on our apple tree. We have been rewarded with a pair of goldcrests visiting the fat balls - these are the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smallest birds and both male and female have a yellow and black stripe on their heads with an orange centre in males.

We have also had blackcaps on the fat balls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these are a greyish warbler the size of a robin. The male has a black cap and the female has a brown cap and they are summer visitors from Spain and western Africa. Blackcaps also spend the summer in central and northern Europe and some of these European birds have begun to winter in the UK. This means that they do not have so far to migrate (coming here rather than Spain or Africa), donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to fly over the Sahara and can take advantage of all the food that we put out in the winter.

In late March we can expect to hear the first cuckoos which will have flown all the way from Western Africa.

Last year the cuckoos arrived late, however once they arrived they were heard all over the village. Cuckoos are on the red list which means that their population is in global decline with at least a 50% reduction in UK breeding in the last 25 years. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope that they continue coming here.

April will see nightingales returning. Their main singing time is in May and June and Woodsmill and Oreham Common are good places to listen to them. The Henfield Birdwatch annual surveys have shown that the number of these wonderful birds has stayed stable in

However, please note that this allows for an eight week break when the Local Authority and Environment Agency will be reviewing reports (we are not allowed to proceed with any construction work during the break).

This break can last from four weeks up to three months or more but we hope it will be nearer four weeks.

‘Thank you’ from Terry the postie I would like to thank everybody on my round for their cards, best wishes and gifts they have given me since my retirement. I was due to retire in January so I thought I would have time after Christmas to say goodbye personally to everybody but due to circumstances (a bad leg which stopped me doing my round suddenly) I had to retire early which meant I didn’t get to say goodbye to you all. I have enjoyed doing my round over the years because of having such nice people to deliver to.

It’s amazing when you are on the same round for so long how well you get to know people and I mustn’t forget all my animal friends which added to my pleasure of the round. Thank you all again.

The tournament is run on a group basis, culminating in the finals at the end of each session (around midday and 4pm) on both Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 May. We naturally hope the week-end will be a success (please let it be dry!) – local traders have readily supported the Club by advertising in the tournament programme and we hope they too will benefit financially from our guests and visitors to the village. With the numbers expected, there will inevitably be additional traffic leading to parking issues. We will have stew-

ards around the immediate area (Fabians Way, Northcroft, Deer Park, the Leisure Centre, Medical Centre, Youth Club etc.) to direct and assist. However, we apologise in advance for any inconvenience that may be caused to local residents by the additional street parking and traffic, which we will endeavour to keep to an absolute minimum.

Steyning Grammar School 400 Heritage Quilt project The aim of this project is to design and make five fabric / quilted panels to be exhibited permanently in the Learning Resource Centre, Steyning Grammar School, Shooting Field site to celebrate the 400th birthday of the school, in 2014. Of these panels, two designed around the Steyning Downland Scheme are to be produced by SGS students. Two further panels created in the community will celebrate Steyning’s built and natural environment plus the many clubs, societies and activities that thrive in the area. The fifth, central panel will be dedicated to Steyning Grammar School and its 400 year history.

All panels will be roughly single bed spread size.

We have several community workshops so far. The sessions have been inspirational, included all age groups and show huge enthusiasm from both SGS and community members. Some people come to the workshops feeling a little nervous to begin with but by the time they leave they are brimming with personal ideas, creativity and motivation. All levels of experience are welcome from beginners to those who bring their technical and artistic skills.

Upcoming workshops include: 27 April: Previous participants can return to do more extension work, spot the gaps and make more! 25 May: We will start the centre panel to include all aspects of school life. 29 June: Representatives for ‘activities’ in the catchment area can ensure their sport, cultural activity, club or society is represented. Some have already spoken to us - ask your leaders and please make contact if you would like to book a place.

Shepherds huts date back to the reign of Elizabeth I and during the nineteenth century they would have been a common sight all over rural West Sussex. However, with the advent of tractors and artificial fertilisers in the early twentieth century, they had virtually fallen out of use by the 1950’s. Recently, shepherds huts have been enjoying something of a revival and local carpenter Carsten Harud is producing some wonderfully distinctive versions.

Carsten, who grew up in Henfield, makes his bespoke shepherds huts from his workshop just outside Brighton. “I’ve travelled all around the world, but there was something that kept bringing me back to this part of Sussex” he said. “The combination of the beautiful countryside and the seaside is unique.” He originally trained as a graphic designer and spent five years as an illustrator in London. However, he found he was spending more and more of his free time doing decorating and carpentry work and decided that this was his true vocation. “My father was a carpenter and many of his friends were carpenters and so it’s something I have grown up with,” he explained.

In 2002 Carsten started his carpentry business and hasn’t looked back.

“I started off creating bespoke storage solutions as well as painted furniture inspired by the Bloomsbury Group of artists. But I wanted to spend more time in my workshop and that was when a colleague introduced me to the concept of creating bespoke shepherds huts.” Building the huts brings together many of Carsten’s creative skills including designing, problem solving, carpentry and painting. “I was ready for a change – if I don’t challenge myself I get bored!” he laughed.

Carsten’s shepherd huts are not your average garden shed on wheels, more of a showcase for high quality craftsmanship as he is keen to point out: “I love bringing a little bit of history into something new. I search markets and auctions for beautiful and interesting items that I can incorporate into my huts. For example, I have used Tudor floorboards as shelving, 100 year-old stained glass in windows and antique planes as shelf brackets – each and every hut is totally unique.”

Originally shepherds huts were used as a kind of mobile home by shepherds as they tended their flocks on the pastures. Each hut would contain a small stove, a straw bed and a simple medicine cupboard containing potions to revive sickly lambs. Carsten’s huts however are distinctly more comfortable! Built on an iron chassis (provided by a local Blacksmith based in Chanctonbury), the huts are fully insulated and waterproof, have a choice of flooring and can be fitted with electrics, wood burners, fold-up tables, cupboards, shelves, balcony’s and beds. They have a multitude of uses including additional bedroom, guest room, home office, studio, children’s playroom, holiday accommodation or just as a peaceful garden retreat. And if you move, the beauty of the huts is that you can take them with you – they are fully mobile and do not require planning permission!

APRIL 2013 | News Know Dementia Know Dementia, a local charity committed to advising, supporting and educating communities and families affected by a dementia, held a community meeting on 26 February in Henfield Hall. The purpose of the meeting, encouraged by Lionel Barnard, Deputy Leader of West Sussex County Council, was to gauge the wider level of commitment within the four Parishes of Henfield, Cowfold, Shermanbury and West Grinstead towards developing a dementia friendly community.

Forty eight people attended including families affected by the condition, Lionel Barnard, local Police and the Deputy Commissioner for Police, a representative from Nick Herbert, local MP, GPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, local care agencies plus members of various community organisations as well as the Churches. Thirty six people gave their written commitment on the day to support this project.

Meanwhile the charity has received a ÂŁ10,000 grant from the Coastal Commissioning Group to support the Henfield Parish and they hope to receive funding for the other Parishes in the new financial year. The next meeting will be held in Henfield Hall on 3 April from 2.00pm and, if you or your family have been affected by a dementia, please book your place at the meeting to ensure you have your say in how the community can better support you. Call 01273 494300 or email: info@knowdementia.co.uk

HENFIELD PARISH COUNCIL The Annual Parish Meeting, attended by over 90 people, was held on 5th March. The prospect of further development in Henfield dominated the meeting with Elizabeth Taylor, Chair of Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Plans Advisory Committee presenting the case for Henfield producing a Neighbourhood Plan. She stated that preparing a Plan is part of Governments wish to devolve decision making down to the most local level possible. She explained that whilst a Plan is not a way of preventing further development, it does become part of the statutory development plan for the area and as such would be an essential tool to provide for structured and planned growth to keep and develop Henfield as a healthy community. She indicated that without such as Plan, Henfield would remain vulnerable to inappropriate future development. Once the Plan has been prepared it would be scrutinised by a

planning inspector and have to be approved by the local community in a referendum. On a show of hands the meeting unanimously supported the preparation of a Plan.

At its meeting the following week Council agreed a resolution to develop a Plan. Its preparation will take up to 2 years and as it will represent the views of the whole Henfield community it is vitally important that all the community and not just the Parish Council is involved in its preparation. More information on how you can become involved will appear in future editions of this magazine but for more information or to register your interest to help in its preparation please contact the Parish Council office. (email: office@henfield.gov.uk ) The minutes of the Parish Meeting can be found on the Council website www.henfield.gov.uk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; link: Annual Parish Meetings and Annual Reports.

NOWELD group update The new group set up in response to the Barratt Homes proposals No WELD (No West End Lane Development) have launched their website - www. noweld.org.uk. The site has an online petition that interested parties are invited to sign.

The group have had two meetings now and have successfully formed a Steering Group for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No WELDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comprising of members from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No WELDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, HOPS, Friends of West End Henfield and Henfield Community Partnership. We have also drawn on the expertise and knowledge of other Henfield residents who wish to help fight this development and a number of sub groups have been formed to look at individual aspects we believe can successfully oppose any future planning application for West End Lane.

We are looking to do a leaflet drop and hold a public meeting within the village very soon. For further information please email info@noweld.org.uk

Alfie’s on course for success

T

here is a rising star in our midst. To look at Alfie Hutton, who is 9 years old (10 in July, he reminds me quickly), you’d not imagine that this summerborn boy, with his slight build and quiet manner, would be the type of kid to have dreams of a career as a professional golfer. But after a few minutes chatting to Alfie, his enthusiasm, passion and earnest conviction shine through and from what the professionals are saying, he stands every chance of getting to the top of his game.

As a three year old, Alfie was taken to Tiny Tees in Hassocks, a fun golf activity club. He immediately showed exceptional hand/eye coordination and at the age of five his dad Jon took him along to Horton Golf Course in Small Dole. Now, strictly speaking, Horton is not built for five year olds; but Alfie was no ordinary junior. He showed promise and importantly really enjoyed the game. By the age of six many of the club members were pausing to watch as he tee-d off, he began to show some real technical skill and a natural ability.

Alfie then pursued lessons at Horsham Golf & Fitness, but his ability soon outstripped the age groups.

In 2010, age seven, he was spotted by John Wilson, the u13 manager for Sussex. John, who runs a tour for juniors called the Tigger Tour, has been incredibly supportive of Alfie and gave him his first break in the Sussex team at the age of eight. John’s steadying attitude and insistence upon courtesy and politeness in the Tour has given many kids a really good start in the game. The priority is enjoyment – although they are very competitive, John appreciates that to give 100% dedication the children need to be gaining a huge amount of fun while they play.

Alfie plays at the beautiful Pycombe Golf Course. With rolling greens in the heart of the South Downs National Park this is no easy course – with 6,266 yards of challenging golf. Amidst the stunning views of the Jack and Jill Windmills Alfie has managed to get his handicap to 24. He plays with his dad, Jon, and has even started teaching him some shots and techniques!

Keeping Alfie playing takes not only dedication from him, to train several times a week and often forfeit seeing friends and playing other sports, but incredible support from his parents. Zara and Jon are not wealthy people and are the complete opposite of typical sporting ‘pushy parents’. They are incredibly proud of Alfie but quietly so and are working very hard to find the money so that Alfie can compete and be given every chance of using his talent to continue to another level. Travel to competitions; entry fees; coaching; clubs and even clothing are all expensive, leaving little left for other luxuries. At some point they would like to find a local business to help sponsor Alfie, to enable him to compete at more overseas events.

Martin Tooth from Horton Golf Club said; “Alfie is a talented young golfer whose parents devote many hours to practice with him, encouraging him, and taking him all over to both practice on different courses and to compete. He is a member at Horton but really only uses our course for practice, with one notable exception. A couple of years ago, his father, Jon Robinson, was club captain (captains only have the job for one year), and Alfie played in that year’s Captain’s Cup against about 24 adults. Alfie won, much to his delight, and that of his parents.”

APRIL 2013 | Local interest I just want to play golf. My favourite player is Rory McIlroy, he was a really good golfer from a young age.

I watched him play and I’ve got his autograph.”

When chatting to Alfie I ask if the old-fashioned courtesy and politeness in the game is a bit ‘boring’, given the examples he sees on TV from other sports like football, which provides the role-models for most kids these days. He replies; “No, if I’ve played someone for almost four hours, I know how tough the course was and I’ve got to know them. I want to shake their hand and say well done, it feels right and I know I appreciate it when they say the same to me.” He shows extraordinary maturity and a thoughtfulness that is a credit to his parents and coach.

And who does Alfie see as his heroes? “My mum and dad. They encourage me and are kind to me, if they didn’t I wouldn’t be a good golfer.” Perfectly said, Alfie.

Pycombe Golf Club is six miles north of Brighton. It’s a members club, open all year round with competitive green fees. Visitors are most welcome and you can come along and try a taster session with PGA professional Jason Bowen. Contact Jason on 01273 845372 professional@pyecombegolfclub.com to book your place.

Horton Golf Course in Small Dole is a member’s run club, probably the cheapest place to play golf in the county, and possibly, the country. Anyone interested in becoming a member should in contact Martin Tooth on 01273 493993 to arrange a free accompanied round.

Alfie’s list of achieve- Emma Osman

ments, medals and trophies is impressive.

On his first outing in the Tigger Tour he won in his age group, with many of the children almost a year older than him (a big difference when you are nine!). He has competed in junior tours as well as the Junior European Championships in Scotland and World Championships in Portugal. Last year in the European Championships, an invite only competition for children from around the world, he tied 11th out of 42. He was just 4 shots off the winning score.

In 2011 he came 2nd in the World Championships in Portugal, age seven, in the u9 section.

Alfie’s journey is a family affair. Holidays and weekends revolve around Alfie’s tours but Jon and Zara don’t see that as a negative. They are getting to see Europe and some of the most beautiful golf courses in the UK (albeit on a shoestring, using vouchers cut from the paper for hotel rooms and saving for the cheapest method of transport). Little brother Jimmy is already wielding a club at the age of 3. He loves the game and can’t wait to play like his brother does.

And the future? This year he hopes to compete in both the European Championships at the end of May and the World Championships in Portugal in July. He’s looking forward to the Lee Westwood tour and several other competitions – during the season there are two or three a month. It’s a busy time but Alfie’s eyes light up when he talks about the tours, how he aims to be a scratch golfer by the age of 14 – quite a target. “I would love to be a professional by the time I’m 19,

ust down your dancing shoes and start limbering up for what promises to be an exciting evening of swing, boogie woogie, jump jazz and more – all in aid of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and the Henfield Club.

The Swing Commanders, described as a “stunningly vibrant and versatile group” with “incredible music ability, performing skills and joie-de-vivre”, will be playing the Henfield Hall on Saturday 20 April from 8-11pm.

The line-up of the band has changed over the years but Peter, who formed the band 10 years ago, believes that this is the best line-up to-date. Each band member comes from a different musical background which gives them such a wonderfully unique sound: Both Gaynor and Sienna are classically trained, Simon has a Country & Western background, Mark has a Jazz background and Peter learnt his craft on the pub and club circuit.

and the lyrics but the bands that play them are often quite sedate - we are very different! It’s absolutely the best way to earn a living!”

There is a big 1940’s scene in the UK and recently the music of the era has become even more popular with television programmes such as BBC2’s ‘Dancing on the Edge’. Loved by fans of Jazz, Country, Swing and Blues The Swing Commanders regularly fill dance halls up and down the country as well as in Europe and even as far afield as America with lindy hoppers, modern jivers, line dancers, and social dancers.

Bringing the Swing Commanders to Henfield is the Royal British Legion Sussex Weald Branch together with the Henfield Club. The Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal is its biggest fundraising campaign and runs year-round. Lapel poppies are available to buy in shops, supermarkets, pubs and clubs from the last week of October until Remembrance Sunday, or 11 November, whichever is later in the calendar. It takes 350,000 volunteers and staff to organise the Poppy “My Grandma used to sing these kind of songs around Appeal each year and the money raised goes to supthe house when I was little so I grew up listening to port their welfare work for the Armed Forces commuthem,” said Peter. “I love the old songs, the melodies nity.

APRIL 2013 | Local interest A highly enjoyable feel-good evening with great music from great musicians and lovely songs from lovely singers…

WWW.BESTKEPTSECRETS.BIZ

Mike Morgan said: “The Swing Commanders have performed for the last two years at Cowfold to raise monies for the Poppy Appeal and have proved to be a great success. They have a strong following in Sussex and this year we have brought them to the larger venue of Henfield Hall. We really hope that we can raise a large sum of money from the performance of The Swing Commanders to boost the Poppy Appeal funds.”

The Henfield Club have always been strong supporters of The Royal British Legion and the Poppy Appeal.

They are a major participant in the Remembrance Sunday parade and at the service at the War Memorial, which is on the south wall of the Club building in Cagefoot Lane. The War Memorial belongs to the Club - they installed it and are responsible for its maintenance.

Every performance is imbued with a huge sense of fun; warmth and infectious humour suffuse every concert through the performers’ actions, wit and repartee on stage.

RICHARD HARRIS, COMPOSER WWW.RFKHARRIS.COM

The Swing Commanders are great to watch with entertaining stage routines, clever instrument changes and, if I may say so, very ‘easy on the eye’ band members.

This is a ‘good time’ band that affects every audience lucky to witness one of their fast moving performances.

Dr Camilla Drew

HENFIELD MEDICAL PRACTICE

How long have you been a GP?

I went straight into General Practice, as soon as I could after leaving medical school and have never regretted my decision. I became a partner in a practice in North London in 1997 and stayed there until 2003, when I took a salaried GP post in Burgess Hill. I enjoyed my work in Burgess Hill but was thinking it was time to get back into a partnership now that our four children are all at school. I am so excited about my new role at Henfield and feel everyone, both patients and staff, have been so warm and welcoming to me.

What made you move to Henfield?

I met Paul and we were married in 2001. Our first child, Tom, was born in 2002 and not long after we decided that we wanted to move out of London as by this time I was pregnant with our second child, and we felt we wanted more space. I had been brought up just outside Guildford, Paul used to come down to the South Downs regularly to walk and my sister lives in Cuckfield. I also had a job offer for a salaried GP post in Burgess Hill so we started looking for properties to buy.

We nearly end up in Ditchling but that all fell through and we ended up moving in with parents in Surrey, for a year. This had its advantages... two extra adults with two young children was definitely a bonus! Luckily we found our house in Henfield (not far from Woods Mill) and have put our roots down here over the last eight years - we feel very much part of the Henfield community. We are particularly involved with the school, as all four of our children are currently pupils there. Paul is chair of Governors at St Peters and I usually help out in one of the classes once a week.

Do you have a favourite local pub or place to eat?

PROFILE can feel hard work juggling home and work life but I wouldn’t change it at all.

Can you give us a top tip?

My top tip is to laugh as much as you can every day it helps keep you healthy.

Which famous person would you most like to have dinner with, and why?

I would most like to have dinner with Stephen Fry because he is the font of all knowledge and very funny, otherwise Daniel Craig but that wouldn’t be for his conversation... can I say that?!

We are not infrequently found in the White Hart and I also like The Royal Oak in Poynings. We have a great Tell us a joke! social life with friends in the village and also fairly reg- I can’t tell you a joke as I only ever remember one, and ularly go to concerts and comedy events particularly it is really rude, sorry. at The Dome in Brighton. I’m looking forward to seeing Emeli Sande soon.

What’s your favourite local walk?

We are lucky enough to have lots of fantastic walks from our house, and can walk easily to the downs from here. It is a 40 minute walk with little children to the Shepherd and Dog which is a favourite walk of mine!

What are you most proud of?

I have been asked what I am most proud of, and I think I will change this slightly and say that what I feel most lucky about is that I have an incredibly happy marriage, with four healthy and fantastic children (I’m not biased at all!). I am doing a job that I really enjoy and it is an absolute privilege too. Sometimes it

Avoid cam belt catastrophe

I

n these times of economic uncertainty there are some essentials that we may hesitate to replace as frequently as we used to – the family car is no exception. We all want our cars to last longer, be fuel-efficient and stay on the road as economically as possible.

At Coles we’re encouraging our customers to keep their cars working well and running smoothly. As with your health, preventative treatments are much better (and cheaper!) than cures. The cam belt (or timing belt) is a perfect example of this – it’s one of those vital engine components which doesn’t cost much to replace but can cause a very, very expensive headache if it fails.

So, what’s a cam belt?

Timing is, literally, everything with the cam belt. The internal parts of a modern engine demand a precise level of synchronization - often rotating at high speeds only a hairs’ breadth apart. In very simple terms, the cam belt controls the timing of the engines’ valves.

The cam belt connects the crankshaft to the camshaft, which in turn controls the opening and closing of the engines valves. It has custom teeth to turn the camshaft and is specifically designed for each engine make and model. In some engines it’s used to drive other components like the water pump and oil pump, so it’s pretty important all in all.

How do I know if mine’s in trouble?

The trickiest part of checking a cam belt is getting to it; it’s not something you can do at home. (In fact, some manufacturers recommend that other parts are replaced when the cam belt is changed, because they

01273 494002

are liable to have suffered similar wear and the parts are of low value compared to the hassle of getting to them.) We’d certainly advise that you keep up to date with when your cam belt should be replaced, our mechanics can help you find out this information.

Worn cam belts tend to fail at sudden engine speed changes, such as moving off, changing gear or revving the engine in neutral. The cost of the belt is not the problem here – it’s the potential damage to the engine if it suddenly fails, which could reach into the thousands.

How often should it be changed?

As with many things mechanical it’s all down to what the manufacturers recommend for individual vehicles, so there is no rule. They usually work on mileage and age of vehicle – with varying extremes between 30,000 and 80,000 miles. Your garage will be able to advise. To make things even more complicated, it’s not only the mileage – cam belts deteriorate with age and weather or even bad fitting can cause it to wear more quickly.

In all, if you want your car to be as reliable and as hassle free as possible, and to run as long as possible with minimal expense, keep up with the servicing.Your mechanic can spot worn parts and replace them before they cause damage to your engine and your wallet. Prevention is always better than cure.

We can give you advice at Coles, backed up by many (many) years of experience and more qualifications than you can shake a spanner at. We’ll collect and deliver your car if you live within 5 miles, or offer you the services of Buttercup, Poppy, Tango or even Hector – one of our cute courtesy cars.

APRIL 2013 | Pet Care

Y

ou can tell a dog owner who regularly keeps their dog on a lead when they go for a walk because they generally have one arm longer than the other and are constantly rubbing at a shoulder that is threatening to dislocate the next time it is wrenched by an overzealous canine.

It is very tempting to let dogs run off the lead at all times – they definitely enjoy themselves more and it saves a ton of time and money on physio!

However, there have been several incidences in the locality in the past few months where dogs which are off a lead and not under control have caused problems. The most common problem is fighting with other dogs and we have been required to treat several ‘victims’ at Hawthorn Vets recently as a result of this.

Generally speaking, if you are going to let your dog off the lead in a public place you must be confident that he or she is under control – i.e. a good recall and not

aggressive. If your dog is very friendly but runs up to another dog which is on a lead and the result is a scrap, you cannot lay the blame at the door of the dog

01273 494002

on the lead because it was yours who was out of control. It is worth remembering that if you see a dog on a lead, you should prevent contact with your own hound until you have established that it is safe to do so!

It is beyond the scope of this article to write in detail about canine aggression towards other dogs, but if you do have a potentially aggressive dog, here are a couple of pointers (that’s not a joke by the way!): • The use of a head collar is very helpful if you have a medium-large breed dog. They allow much better control, cannot be ‘slipped’ like a neck collar and prevent dogs from pulling which has the added benefit of shoulder preservation! I am not a fan of harnesses where the lead attaches over the shoulder area – they do not give any head control, and are only really helpful in controlling forward motion.

• Look out for the warning signs! Growling and barking is obvious, but sometimes dogs will exhibit more subtle behaviour prior to displaying aggression. These vary depending on whether the aggression is fear or dominance based. Fearful dogs often have a hunched posture with a tucked in tail and will hang back behind their owner. If pushed, this can quickly turn to aggression. Dominant dogs show body postures such as a high tail, stiff legs and direct eye contact.

• If your dog is aggressive, how you react is very important. Calming an aggressive dog rather than discouraging it can reinforce aggression by inadvertently signalling that the aggression is appropriate. On the other hand, anxiety and defensiveness by an owner around other dogs (because they are aware that their own dog can be aggressive) can be picked up by their own dog and cause it to be more aggressive towards others to keep them away. It is best to be confident and relaxed with your dog and maintain good control with the appropriate restraint.

• Use a muzzle. No one likes muzzles, but sometimes they are necessary if you cannot be confident of controlling your dog or they are particularly aggressive. Use a muzzle that allows the dog to open their mouth to pant and drink, such as a ‘Baskerville’ muzzle.

Aggression towards other dogs can be complex and multifactorial. Rarely the condition can be due to a physical problem such as pain. If you are concerned, then best thing is get your dog checked over at the practice. Most aggression is behavioural and once this is established, it is often best to consult with an animal behaviourist – they will often come to your house or go on a walk with you in order to assess the problem, quite literally, in the field! Contact us at the practice and we have a list of reputable animal behaviourists. At the end of the day, if you are in any doubt, keep your dog on the lead!

Five tips for learning bird song

S

pring is certainly on its way and with it, a cacophony of bird song coming from gardens, parks and woodlands. Unfortunately my bird song identification skills are not as good as I would like, so I’ve decided that this year I am really going to work on it. The following are some tips and tricks that I’ve come up with to help me. Why not try some of these yourselves?

1. Get an early start

4. Embrace technology

There is now a huge range of bird song phone apps, CDs and websites available to help you. Before you go out into the garden, spend 10 minutes listening to two or three species that you think you might hear.

This will be even more effective if you can refer to the description of the song and picture of the bird in your bird guide at the same time. You might even like to annotate this with little notes of what the song reminds you of. But remember that listing to a recording is very different to hearing a bird outside with leaves rustling, dogs barking and other birds singing. So make sure you spend lots of time outside just sitting and focusing on what you can hear.

In Sussex singing birds really hit their peak in late April and early May. Walking through woodland at dawn can be a fabulous experience, but for those of us trying to identify birds it can be pretty overwhelming. By starting to learn songs now you can work your way up to the full dawn chorus in a few weeks’ time.

5. Spend time with an expert I can be very hard to feel confident with your identifi2. Take baby steps Take the time to learn just a couple of species really cation skills when there is no way to check if you are well before adding anymore. For most people the eas- correct. This is when walking around with an expert iest birds to start with are those that a regularly heard can be a huge help. I am very luck to work at Woods singing in gardens and parks such as robin, blackbird, Mill where birders seem to grow on trees, but you wren and dunnock. Once you can confidently identify might like to join a local birding group or attend one of the Sussex Wildlife Trust’s fantastic bird courses. these, try adding in some others.

3. Visualise

It will really help you to remember a song if you associate it with something you can visualise in your mind.

For example when I hear the descending song of a chaffinch I always see a cricketer running up to the crease and bowling a ball with a flourish. This particular association may not work for everyone, so when listening to a song spend time thinking about what will work for you.

Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme

T

he Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) is designed to help small companies raise finance when in the early stage of starting up. SEIS offers a range of tax reliefs to individual investors who purchase new shares in those companies.

The SEIS exists alongside the existing Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), which continues to offer tax reliefs to investors in higher-risk small companies.

SEIS offers a higher rate of tax relief than that offered

by EIS, as SEIS recognises the particular difficulties which very early stage companies face in attracting investment. SEIS applies for shares issued on or after 6 April 2012 and before 6 April 2017.

For the most part, the rules for SEIS mirror those for EIS, as it is anticipated that companies may want to go on to use EIS after initially investing under SEIS. However, the company must have spent at least 70% of the monies raised by the SEIS issue before it can do so.

For a company to qualify as a SEIS company, it must at least meet the following requirements: • The company must be unquoted and must not be controlled by another company; • The company must have a UK permanent establishment; • Any trade being carried on by the company at the date of issue of the relevant shares must be less than two years old at that date; • The company must exist to carry on a qualifying trade. Certain trades are excluded (including dealing in land, financial activities, legal/accounting, farming & property development); • The company must have less than £200,000 in gross assets before the share issue; • The company must have fewer than 25 full-time employees; • The company may not receive more than £150,000 in total under SEIS and it must not be in financial difficulties; • Shares need to be subscribed for wholly in cash and fully paid up at the time they are issued.

How does the Income Tax relief work?

Income Tax relief is available at 50% of the cost of the shares subscribed for. The maximum annual investment is £100,000 and the relief is given by way of a reduction in the investor’s tax liability.

Where an investment is made under SEIS in one year, it can be treated as though the shares had been ac-

quired in the preceding Tax Year. The SEIS rate for that earlier year is then applied to the shares, and relief given in the earlier year. This carry back is subject to the overall limit for relief for that year. The taxpayer must hold his shares for at least three years.

How does the Capital Gains Tax relief work?

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) relief applies for the 2012/13 Tax Year only. Where an investor disposes of an asset which would give rise to a chargeable gain in 2012/13, and reinvests all or part of the gain in shares which qualify for SEIS Income Tax relief, the amount reinvested will be exempt from CGT. Will there be a capital gain when I subsequently sell my SEIS shares?

Where an investor has subscribed for shares and has received Income Tax relief under SEIS on the cost of the shares, then a disposal of those shares can be exempt from CGT, subject to the following two conditions: • The shares have been retained for a three year qualifying period. This period normally commences with the date of subscription for the shares, or the date the company starts trading, if later; and • The company has not, during that period, ceased to qualify for SEIS relief so that the Income Tax relief has been withdrawn.

What if the company fails?

SEIS investments are likely to be in more risky ventures and it is inevitable that some will fail. However, the commercial loss can be offset by the Income Tax relief available on the investments and the fact that a capital loss can be relieved against income. As an example, an investment of £10,000 made in 2013/14 Tax Year that fails in 2014/15 will have the following tax consequences:

£

Can anyone invest in an EIS company?

An investor cannot be an employee of the company or any qualifying subsidiary during the period of three years commencing with the date the shares are issued. The investor can, however, be a director of the company.

The investor must not have a substantial interest in the company. Investors who have a substantial interest cannot claim Income Tax relief but may still qualify for CGT deferral relief.

An investor will have a substantial interest in the company if he, either on his own or with associates, possesses or is entitled to acquire more than 30% of the issued share capital, voting power or assets of the company or any subsidiary on a winding up. Associates include direct descendants and antecedents. It does not include brothers and sisters.

It is very important that any amount that an SEIS investor receives as remuneration as a director is not excessive in comparison to the services performed.

Finally, the relevant shares must be issued for genuine commercial reasons and not as part of a scheme or arrangement where the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, is the avoidance of tax.
