CHARITY 20/20 CRICKET MATCH WON BY WHITE HART TEAM A new Henfield charity cricket Twenty20 competition to raise funds for Henfield Cricket Club saw the trophy lifted by a White Hart team in June. The pub team won with just one ball to play against Henfield’s village eleven. “It was a brilliant evening to help raise money for the cricket club,” said Gyles Culver, landlord of The White Hart, who donated the trophy. Other fundraisers on the evening included a barbeque and a bar.
Congratulations to the team of seven intrepid HART responders who climbed three mountains and raised £2,000 for HART within 24 hours. Their actual time was 23 hours and one minute – an incredible feat considering they also stopped to assist a climber in difficulties. With them was lucky mascot Ted the Fireman bear given to them by the fire crews organising the challenge. Anne Dewdney, one of the HART team, said: “This was a real team effort. We stuck together all the way, resting and eating in the minibus between the three climbs. We were delighted to complete this very demanding challenge in such a good time.” As well as Anne, team members were Claire Greenfield, Sandra Parsons, Martin Tooth, Kas Fletcher, Josh Westlake and Mark Skilton. Sponsors were solicitors Griffith Smith Farrington Webb, Sean Preston of Southdown Truck and Crane and Gyles Culver, landlord of the White Hart.

JANET ANGELA POUND, 10 FEBRUARY 1935 – 1 JUNE 2014 Janet was born and lived in the district of Barnet during the Second World War. She got her love of horses from her father and with her sister Pat always had ponies to ride. She married Maurice in 1960 and the four children started to come along. We moved to Steyning in 1963 and when the children started to show an interest in riding she was in her element. Always a hard-working and loving mother Janet also became a second mother to many overseas children that she fostered to boost the family coffers. We moved to Henfield in 1976. As an active member of the WI she had an outlet for her other talents of upholstery, silver jewellery, and jam and preserve making. When the kids started to leave home, a career as a B&B lady followed and continued until arthritis curtailed these activities and those of using her working dogs on two local shoots. So as wife, mother and grandmother to nine, this lovely lively lady will be sadly missed. The family would like to thank everyone for their kind thoughts at this time. Maurice Pound

The Three Peaks challenge entailed climbing Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike (Cumbria) and Snowdon (Wales) within 24 hours, transported to each by three volunteer drivers (all responders) – Dave Fletcher, John Rodrigues and Heather Kingdon (who is with PART, Partridge Green Area Response Team). Mark Skilton’s Henfield company DSA Products donated £200 to the walkers. Nadia Cowdrey, partner at Griffith Smith Farrington Webb, said: “Everyone here in the office is very proud of the work HART does and think this is a tremendous achievement. HART makes a huge difference to the community in and around Henfield.” To donate: www.henfieldresponders.org.uk Mike Beardall
