Editor’s LETTER

Welcome to the February issue of BN5 magazine.

We were so excited to hear that Leonardslee Gardens, on the outskirts of Horsham, was to from the BN5 area reopen this spring. It closed to the public back in 2010 when it went into private ownership but is now in the capable hands of the owners of Mannings Heath Golf Club and Wine Estate. We wish them every success in their new venture; Local Interest these vast, magnificent gardens are a labour Henfield Furnishings to of love; the legacy of generations with the most close in February wonderful mature trees and exquisite planting, with blooms that blaze with colour.

After my editor letter about the state of our high street last month I am sorry that we are reporting another retail closure in the village. Henfield Charity Furnishings, owned by Malcolm and Angela Reid, The Brain Tumour Charity will close at the end of February. They’ve served the village for the past 45 years, which is an incredible length of time and we are truly grateful for this. We will be very sorry to see this lovely little shop go, please spare the time to pop in to see Izzy and Gill to wish them well.

Local Interest We’ve finally established our fundraising total for Leonardslee re-opens the Brain Tumour Charity and are very excited to report that a magnificent £6,371 was raised through the Big BN5 Draw and Auction. This is a record for us, the generous spirit of people who put coins and notes in our collection boxes and Local Interest bought multiples of draw tickets was extraordinary.

Christmas at the Haven A very big thank you to YOU is on page 26, directly from the charity themselves.

Best wishes,

News | FEBRUARY 2018 HENFIELD ACTIVITY PLAN UPDATE As part of the Community Action Plan, Henfield Community Partnership (HCP), with the full support of the Henfield Parish Council (HPC), launched a new initiative, the Henfield Activity Plan (HAP) at the village meeting on 7th March 2017 in the Henfield Hall.

Initially, we sorted the more than 100 clubs, societies and voluntary organisations into eight Community Clusters, each of which consists of organisations with common interests, goals or users. (Some organisations may naturally fit into several clusters). The idea is to find ways to help sustain this variety of opportunities by improving connectivity and communication, creating a common events’ calendar and collaborating on the larger village-wide events such as the Summer Fayre, Garden & Arts and Christmas Shopping night. Organisations will of course remain independent in their organisation and management.

The majority of the clusters have now met, public contact details updated and ideas and challenges shared as well as alerting new funding streams.

Looking forward to 2018, the next steps include the continued collaboration with the ‘Befriending’ initiative, led by the Medical Centre, to bring together those organisations involved in the Health & Wellbeing and Community clusters.

A Village Activity Event will take place on Friday 20th April 2018, inviting all residents of the village to come and meet representatives of the 100+ organisations together in one place (Henfield Hall).

A Village Sports & Games Day on Sunday 16th September 2018, centred around the common also needs to be planned. The date links to the anniversary of the original opening of the memorial field.

We also need to plan for the Henfield Village contributions to the Horsham Year of Culture 2019.

Rampion Windfarm Presentation

Over 200 people enjoyed the afternoon presentation in The Henfield Hall by Chris Tomlinson, Stakeholder Manager for Rampion Offshore Wind Farm, organised jointly by The Henfield Hub and The Henfield Hall.

When fully operational later this year, the wind farm will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of around 347,000 homes, almost half of all the homes in East & West Sussex, including the city of Brighton & Hove. This will save almost 600,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

Rampion has also announced a £4million 1 2 | B N 5 M A GA ZINE

community fund. This includes a £100,000 donation to local RNLI stations who help save lives at sea, a £800,000 investment in a Rampion Visitor Centre which will open in Brighton later this year and a £3.1million Rampion Fund for local projects to benefit the Sussex community.

Chris’s presentation can be viewed by using the link from the article on The Henfield Hub (www. henfieldhub.com/hub-news/rampion-wind-farmpresentation) and there is more information on the Rampion website. (www.rampionoffshore.com) Our thanks are due to all who attended the presentation, and who contributed to a lively Q&A session. Thanks also to the committee members of the Henfield Hub and Henfield Hall who gave their time and expertise to organise the presentation and provide the afternoon’s refreshments.

THANK YOU FROM THE BP GUILD

EVENTFUL PRODUCTION RUN FOR HENFIELD THEATRE COMPANY Henfield Theatre Company’s run of the musical show Anne of Green Gables proved to be a wonderful experience for all concerned but with rather more excitement than expected. On the second night the leading lady, 14 year old Ellie Rayward who played Anne was taken ill. As the company does not have the luxury of understudies, 17 year old Phoebe Ralph was asked to step in to take on the major role. The costume team performed several minor miracles and the show went on! Phoebe did a magnificent job and the cast felt that they were all swept along by the warmth and support of the audience. It was quite an evening!

There was more to come at the matinee performance the following day. Anne of Green, written by Donald Harron, opened in Charlottetown, Canada, in 1965 and has been on the professional stage for most of the time since then. Donald Harron died three years ago aged 90 but remains something of an icon in Canada. It was, therefore, a huge surprise when his daughter Martha contacted the Henfield Theatre Company to say that she and her daughter Zoe were now living in London and were coming to the matinee performance in Henfield!

Following the performance, Martha wrote to thank Lesley Barnes, the show’s director and praised the entire team for their efforts on the night. “I can’t thank you and your splendid team enough for the performance on Saturday. Enormous amounts of work went into it, most of it unpaid but all of it much appreciated.”

Through fun-filled fundraising events that Guildsmen and friends participate in, the BP Guild has been able to help many local organisations and individuals. All money raised is returned to the village. Mostly we focus on our youth and our senior citizens and some direct seed money is given to individuals who wish to develop through participating in a charitable project or event.

We wish to thank all that supported us in 2017, whether through donations of money, goods or in kind. A total of over £11,000 was given out to local groups. £5000 to the Community Scout Building Appeal, £3300 for the Senior Citizens outing, £1000 to HART, youth e.g. Scouts & Girl Guides HQ Trust etc, £1500 and others £200. Of course, it also supports events such as putting up and taking down our Christmas tree and marshalling Remembrance Sunday.

We do incur some costs for insurance cover, rentals and for the repair or replacement of our assets such as the Marquees we hire out and we work hard to keep to these a minimum.

To help us at one of our upcoming events, such as our popular Jumble sales (one coming up in March) look out for our notices or our website.

Also, see our competitive rates on hiring our party tents/marquees.

News | FEBRUARY 2018 HENFIELD’S PART IN THE STORY OF HORSHAM DISTRICT - 100 ‘OBJECTS’

CHRISTMAS TREE DISPOSAL The Henfield Scout Centre appeal and the BP Guild would like to thank everyone who used our Christmas tree disposal service this year. We collected 160 trees raising £800 for the appeal.

Particular thanks to Liquidamber tree surgeons for their help shredding and Downs (Southern) builders plus Tony Westwood for their help with transport. It was a real village effort for the future of our Scout Hut. Eddie Reynolds

OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SIDE LINES For many years I was a trader in the High Street and assisted in organising the Christmas shopping evening. I also observed the work of Mike Beardall who organised what was then a much smaller raffle. It makes me fully aware of the effort that the Henfield Community Partnership and BN5, with the participation of the High Street businesses, must have put in organising the very successful evening this December.

I felt someone should make our community aware of the tireless and selfless work that Emma Osman (of BN5 fame) and her amazing crew performed this year. The raffle, which is drawn on the evening, raised over £6000 for a very worthy charity with a local connection and was a record that will be hard to beat. Emma has such a community ethos and takes on local causes with passion. Bear in mind that all this organising goes on at the same time the BN5 and Thirteen8 magazines are being published, a full- time job in itself. Bear in mind also that the work for the event carried out by her team is funded by her. Many a long hour, often well out of office hours, was spent enlisting the support of advertisers and contacts who donated the raffle prizes, the value of which exceeded £3500.

On behalf of the Henfield community, sincere thanks for a wonderful evening and congratulations on the amount raised for The Brain Tumour Charity by the BN5 team.

We need your ideas - The 100 Objects project was submitted to the Horsham District Council Year of Culture 2019 committee by the recently formed Horsham Heritage Forum of museums, preservation societies and local history groups.

The idea is that the 100 Objects will make a timeline through the history of Horsham and across all the places, villages and towns of the District.

The word ‘objects’ includes buildings, places and areas as well as artefacts and objects.

The Friends of Henfield Museum would like to have your suggestions for Henfield ‘objects’.

This is your chance to choose places/objects in Henfield that you feel are special.

A high-quality colour illustrated book will be produced describing each object and setting it within the District’s heritage and history. An illustrated map will link the objects’ location to a heritage trail. The map will be an appendix to the book and also be available as a separate information leaflet and download.

If approved and funded the project will be developed during 2018 and completed early in 2019. It will be managed by an editorial team of the Heritage Forum.

Please take your suggestions to the museum or post them in the Parish Council letter box at the Henfield Hall or email to friendsofhenfieldmuseum@ gmail.com.

FEBRUARY 2018 | News HENFIELD COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP NATIVITY SHEEP TRAIL 2017

RAISING MONEY FOR THE RAINBOW TRUST CHILDREN’S CHARITY We are raising money for the Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity - a lovely charity close to our hearts, as they support our 1 year old niece Alice, who has Bilateral Retinoblastoma.

We are doing this by cutting our hair & donating it to the Little Princess Trust, who provide real hair wigs for children who have sadly lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses.

The knotting process at the top of the wig alone takes 4 inches in length, so we are aiming to donate at least 12 inches each, to provide a very brave little person somewhere with some hair and hopefully make their day a little brighter.

Rainbow Trust provide bespoke support for families who have a child with a serious illness, by offering an invaluable range of services. Simple things like taking a train to the hospital and exposing the child to all the germs which comes with this, could potentially be life threatening for children with suppressed immunity. Rainbow Trust can drive the family to the hospital and offer practical and emotional support during their time there (as well as at home), helping families through a stressful time and allowing parents to take a much appreciated short break every now and again.

We are very grateful to the Rainbow Trust as they continue to support Alice (and the whole family) through her journey. You can donate at www. uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/Alice1. To find out more about the charities please visit www. rainbowtrust.org.uk / www.littleprincesses.org.uk.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the 2017 Sheep trail, especially those brave souls who went out in wet weather and still managed to hand in their entry forms! This year we have raised £600 for the Hope House Haiti charity which provides education for under privileged children in Haiti and this is nearly double the amount we raised last year.

We collected the last completed forms from the library on Wednesday 5th January and the winning entries selected at random were: 1st Prize £15 Megan and Beth Hollis, 2nd Prize £10 Noah Gargano and 3rd Prize £5 Bethany Ratcliffe.

Well done to our prize winners and to everyone who found all the missing sheep. The full list of sheep and which shops they were hiding in is in the library.

The trail is designed to provide a free activity within the village over the Christmas period and can only take place with the support of the participating Traders and the organisation of the event by the Community partnership. We hope you enjoyed looking for the sheep whether you are young or old!

CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL The Evangelical Free Church Christmas Tree Festival was a huge success and one of the many highlights of the Christmas Shopping evening. It was such a hit that it has already been scheduled to take place again this year!

YOUR WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE IS CHANGING – ARE YOU READY? From February 2018 Horsham District Council will be rolling out changes to your waste and recycling collection service.

What’s changing?

Your recycling will be collected one week and your household waste will be collected the same day the following week. Garden waste will continue to be collected fortnightly for those who have subscribed to this service.

All households will have received information in mid January explaining the changes and giving each household their new personalised collection dates. After that you can also remind yourself of your new collection dates via your online personalised collections calendar: www.horsham. gov.uk/bincalendar Why are we making these changes?

The government has set a mandatory national recycling target of 50% by 2020. If we fail to meet this we will incur financial penalties. Currently the Horsham District recycles 44% of its waste so we are close, but we know we can achieve more because investigation into our waste collections have shown that on average 20% of what we

CHANCTONBURY CHORUS CONCERT REVIEW The pre-Christmas performance of Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem delivered by the combined talent of the Chanctonbury Chorus and the Hurstpierpoint College Chamber Choir and Orchestra resulted in a standing ovation from the packed audience.

The majestic surroundings of Hurstpierpoint College Chapel, the setting for this performance, added a unique atmosphere to Brahms’ seven movement piece which was written in the mid 1800’s and based on the Lutheran Bible.

Leslie-Jane Rogers (Soprano) and James Cleverton (Baritone) performed faultlessly whilst the full orchestra led by Charlotte Scott and conducted by Siobhan Denning (founder of the Chanctonbury Chorus) was more than a match for the musical and emotional challenges of this sometimes reflective and dramatic piece.

The packed programme began with a performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ first major choral piece entitled ‘Towards the Unknown Region’, sung by the Hurst Chamber Choir made up of pupils from the college and conducted by Neil Matthews, Head of Music.

Francis Poulenc’s Concerto in G Minor for Organ, Timpani and Strings FP93 with Kate Bray at the helm of the Chapel’s organ followed.

Chanctonbury Chorus is an established group of about 50 singers who enjoy getting together weekly to rehearse a big choral masterpiece. The Chorus meet for rehearsals at 7.45pm on Wednesday evenings, during term time, in the Drama Room of the Lower School, Church Street, Steyning – all are welcome to join without an audition, just turn up on the night!

Please email chanctonburychorus@btinternet. com for further information.

WOODMANCOTE VILLAGE HALL Following the Church’s decision to close the village hall in October of last year, the local community have been given an opportunity by the diocese to breathe new life into the building by becoming trustees of a separate Charitable Independent Organisation (CIO) that would be granted a lease to maintain and manage the cottage and village hall.

The trustees would be made up of a completely new and autonomous board selected from within the Woodmancote community and will include some Parish Councillors and a representative from the church. Any interested parties looking to hear more should come to the April Annual Parish Meeting (Tuesday 10th) at Blackstone Cricket Pavilion.

HENFIELD THEATRE COMPANY AWARDS The play, Billy Liar, staged by the Henfield Theatre Company in October has won multiple awards from the Brighton and Hove Arts Council. Members of the cast and production team went along to the Oscars style awards evening held at the BHASVIC Hall in Hove in the hope of some nominations, at least, for their production.

They were in competition with some of the best amateur theatre groups in the Brighton and Hove area and were very happy to find that they had indeed been nominated in a number of categories, such as Best Set Design, Best Lighting Design and Best Actor but were over the moon when they had their first victory - Best Costume Design.

Towards the end of the evening they were thrilled to hear that Ann Atkins, Director of Billy Liar, had won the Best Director award. But there was more to come when they won the final award of the evening, ‘The Bea Waters Challenge Cup’ for Best Overall Production.

Many congratulations must go to all of the cast and production team for this wonderful achievement and to Henfield Theatre Company for the formal recognition of the high standard of their productions. The next one to look out for will be Alan Ayckbourn’s hilarious comedy, Confusions, running from 15th- 17th March 2018.

Trumpet Shall Sound’ from Messiah – Revd Paul Doick in a duo with Revd Harriet Neale-Stevens on trumpet, accompanied by Sidonie Winter. The Sussex Wind Quintet made their first appearance at these concerts with ‘Festival of Carols’, ‘12 days of Christmas’ and ‘Sleigh ride’, all pieces that demonstrated their superb ensemble playing.

Sidonie Winter then brought the first half to a close with a hilarious ‘Christmas Carol’ by Tom Lehrer.

Brass Fusion began the second half with ‘The Three Kings March’; Sophie Wells sang ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’; and the Bothy Singers showed their versatility with ‘The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B’, ‘Deck the Halls’, and a selection from Sister Act. Deacons Seamus and Liam amused us with jokes and the juxtapositioning of ‘It’s a Long Way to Tipperary’ and ‘Pack up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag’.

Finally, Sidonie Winter returned to sing ‘Little Road to Bethlehem’.

There were seasonal contributions from Sheila Nye bringing to life the joys of carol singing from ‘Cider with Rosie’; and Pastor Andrew Lawton reciting the problems Santa has down under. The solo items were interspersed with Community Carols, ably accompanied by members of Brass Fusion.

A really enjoyable evening was had by all.

TIM PARSONS, 1956-2017 The much loved and respected Tim Parsons, recordbreaking HCC bowler, passed away peacefully at St Barnabas Hospice on 30th November 2017 after a short illness. Tim was Henfield born and bred. He leaves a wife, Sandra, and two children Jack and Lily, as well as his mum, Rita.

The hundreds of local people at Tim’s funeral at St Peter’s Church on 12th December heard tributes from friends and family, with wonderful stories of his idyllic childhood in Henfield as well as his cricketing achievements. It was standingroom only in the church, his family have found this support a huge comfort over the difficult weeks since Tim died.

Tim’s contribution to the centuries-old cricketing tradition in Henfield is immeasurable. Cricket and the club ran through Tim’s veins; he barely missed a match in his 46 year career of over 1,085 matches for the club and always remained loyal to HCC. Many representatives from neighbouring clubs and villages attended the funeral to pay their respects.

Tim and Sandra met at the Cricket Club and were married 27 years ago, on a Sunday – because Tim didn’t want to miss an important league game as captain, although he sacrificed the Sunday game for his wedding!

Tim was a fine bowler, in his career he took an incredible 2,107 wickets for the club, a record which is likely to stand for some years to come.

The Henfield Cricket Club website says; “This is a remarkable achievement in itself, but is enhanced by the fact that many of Tim’s wickets were taken in the harsh competitiveness of league cricket. You don’t take over two thousand wickets, take more than five in an innings 77 times, or have a 9 for 59, without talent. To do so in such a quiet, unassuming manner is as much to his credit as taking the wickets”.

His cricketing legacy remains in his son Jack and 2 0 | B N 5 M A GA ZINE

daughter Lily, both of whom play for Henfield. Jack gained a sports scholarship to Hurst School age 11 and played for the England U19s team. Jack’s tour of Sri Lanka in 2011 as part of the England U19 team was one of the many times that Tim was incredibly proud of his two children.

Sandra, Jack and Lily would like to thank Dr Reade for his kindness and attention during Tim’s illness and to thank everyone for their flowers, cards and messages. They would especially like to thank the village for their support of Rita, Tim’s mum.

Tim was cared for by the wonderful team at St Barnabas House Hospice in Worthing and their kindness, care and attention made Tim’s final weeks comfortable and bearable. Sandra and Jack will be running the Brighton Marathon in memory of Tim and to raise funds for St Barnabas.

If you would like to support them and please go to www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mcroshaw There will be a memorial match for Tim in the summer at Henfield Cricket Club. We will publish dates and more information in BN5 magazine nearer the time.

In the two and a half years that I have lived in Henfield, I have always found it such a polite place to drive around - with the exception of the two mini roundabouts situated on the Upper Station Road at Fabians Way and Broomfield Road junctions With the increase of vehicle passage along Upper Station Road it seems a good moment to revisit some basic Highway Code regulations and to highlight the proper practice and use of this traffic management system.

The Highway Code says that you should give way to the right at mini roundabouts and also to traffic already on the roundabout. This is logical and good driving practice; if in doubt yield.

From either direction on Upper Station Road at the first mini roundabout we also have a GIVEWAY SIGN and GIVEWAY LINE. So, on approaching a mini roundabout and faced with a Give Way sign and road marking in addition to the blue roundabout sign what do you do?

A Give Way sign means you yield to everything.

If someone is entering the mini roundabout BEFORE you have reached it from Upper Station Road, even from your left, you should wait.

This area also has a lot of foot passage of young children and their young parents so please take those extra few seconds, have consideration of others and respect of the Highway Code. Make for more smiles and a happier Henfield.

enfield Furnishings, one of the longest serving shops on our High Street, will be closing its doors on 28 February after 45 years in the village. An absolute ‘go-to’ shop which combines the very practical with the very beautiful, the closure of this wonderfully colourful bazaar of delights will be a huge loss to the fabric of our high street.

The freehold of the building (pictured here in 1901 when it was a saddlery shop) was purchased back in 1972 by Henfield’s Malcolm and Angela Reid in partnership with Mike and Jenny Avery from Horsham. Those who have long memories will remember the shop as ‘Scats’ – and its change to ‘The Averys of Henfield (Furnishings)’. Five years later, when Mike and Jenny retired, it became Henfield Furnishings Limited, focussing mainly on furnishing fabrics with some cookware essentials.

Malcolm said; “We have employed very few people in the 45 years of owning Henfield Furnishings as they remained very loyal and happy working for us. However, changes in the personal situations of our current staff means that two of them have recently left the village and a third follows soon.

After much reflection, we have decided to end on a high note and close the business now. Changes in retail habits, including online shopping and the lack of an optimistic future in high street retail trade nationally, make it unfair to train new staff without the prospect of long-term employment.”

During the 1970s, Malcolm and Angela developed Caudle Street, in conjunction with Alf Gander from Vinalls, to create access and a shopping area from the Henfield Hall through to the High Street.

2 2 | B N 5 M A GA ZINE

Around this time Alf gifted a plot of land next to the Henfield Hall to provide free parking for the village.

Malcolm and Angela have noticed the negative impact of recent car parking charges implemented

by Horsham District Council. Angela commented; “The infliction of car parking charges has seen footfall in our Henfield shop drop sharply since last April. A substantial amount of our turnover came from visitors to Henfield.”

There have been many changes and challenges over the past years and one of the secrets of Henfield Furnishings’ success was always to place themselves at the forefront of retail trends, to keep a keen eye on shopping habits and respond quickly to the markets. They began increasing their kitchenware product lines during the 1980s with the popularity of TV celebrity chefs. Their longest-standing staff member of 25 years, Gill Feltham, remembers a particular egg whisk used

by Delia Smith as being a record-breaking seller.

She said; “Malcolm and Angela always allowed us to develop the shop as we felt best, both to serve the village and also to attract customers from outside Henfield. Some of you may remember that we were right there at the explosion of the fashion for Christmas decorations and fabrics in the late nineties. There was one year during the Christmas Shopping Evening when we had to close our doors because there was no room for more customers!”

It is very sad to think that the Henfield Furnishings windows will soon be standing empty, when their displays have always added such sparkle to the high street. They have been an absolute delight

The place to go for everything Henfield... www.henfieldbn5.co.uk

for window-shoppers, always capable of stopping passing customers in their tracks to tempt them inside. Staff are proud to have won numerous prizes for their artistic, witty and clever displays, especially during the Christmas Shopping events.

They have wholeheartedly joined in Henfield Trader competitions, always supporting initiatives to improve the village. Most recently they won the 2017 award for Best Christmas Window Display and their 2016 window graced the cover of the December issue of BN5 magazine, epitomising the magic of Christmas. Chairman of Henfield Parish Council, Malcolm Eastwood, commented; ““We are sorry to be losing Henfield Furnishings from our village. It has been an attractive addition to our High Street, somewhere for visitors to find different and useful gifts. Our thanks go to all of the team at Henfield Furnishings and we send them our best wishes for the future”.

The loss of Henfield Furnishings to the village is immeasurable. Staff have always been incredibly supportive of the Henfield Theatre Company, regularly acting as box office for events and incorporating show promotion into their window displays. In fact, both Malcolm and Angela, as actors, directors and backstage, have been immensely influential in the theatre life of the village; but that’s for another article.

Angela said; “The future of the premises will remain in limbo for a few months until we deal

with unsold stock. Our thanks to our regular and loyal customers for their support over the years.

Our heartfelt thanks too, to our wonderful staff, particularly those of the past few years – Gill, Katrina, Jo, Izzy and Sandra, all of whom have worked with courtesy, energy and enthusiasm.”

A final thank-you must go to Angela and Malcolm.

For their tireless energy, for their investment in Henfield, and for continuing to serve the village during 45 years of changes, ideas and innovations which have all been embraced and celebrated.

The village will miss this wonderful shop. Henfield Furnishings will be a very hard act to follow.

ver the past few years we have run a Big BN5 Draw for a local charity, which culminates at the High Street Shopping Evening in December. Our choice of charity for 2017 was The Brain Tumour Charity and this was prompted by the personal experience of local resident and owner of Hamfelds, Olivia Pugh, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour right out of the blue in July.

The response was quite overwhelming, leaving us with a lot of ‘thank yous’ to make! We are so grateful to everyone who sent us donations, put extra coins and notes in our collection boxes, bid in our Grand Auction at the White Hart and bought multiple books of tickets for their friends or their staff. The donations are still being made; the support of the BTC was village wide with businesses like Natasha Beauty donating 10% of their takings for November, resulting in a donation of over £500. Full of Beans put all their tips on the run-up to the draw into the collection boxes too. Thank you to everyone for your kindness and generosity.

This message came from the Brain Tumour Charity:

Dear Henfield Community, From everyone at The Brain Tumour Charity we would like to say a huge THANK YOU for your support during December 2017!

It was a true pleasure to join you on Friday 8th December for your Christmas Extravaganza. It is rare to see such a huge response from a community, with so many wonderful fundraising ideas! You should be so proud of everything you have achieved. Your passion and dedication to make a difference to your chosen charity at this special time of year is truly amazing…. Thank you!

With strength in numbers and hard work you have been a part of raising over £6,300 to help us defeat brain tumours.

To put this into perspective, this money could fund 25 days of pioneering research which is so desperately needed.

2 6 | B N 5 M A GA ZINE

Please know we are working incredibly hard to defeat brain tumours, and because of amazing people like you it is making a difference. Recently, researchers funded by The Brain Tumour Charity have shown that a naturallyoccurring virus, delivered to patients via a simple injection into the arm, can cross the blood-brain barrier and kill cancer cells in the brain. This is really promising news, and will help shape future treatments. As we rely 100% on voluntary funding we can only fund this work with the help of you, so thank you very much.

We very much value all your support. Every penny you have raised really will help bring us achieve our goals, of doubling survival and halving the harm, for all those affected by brain tumours. Thank you.

Sending very best wishes and warm thanks, Abi Hames Senior Community Fundraiser (South) thebraintumourcharity.org Support Line: 0808 800 0004 Thank you also to the wonderful local businesses, clubs and individuals who supported the Big BN5 Draw, with prize donations, collection boxes, draw ticket sales and other fantastic help.

FEBRUARY 2018 | Local interest

hen Adam Streeter announced via social media last year that his family business had acquired the 200-acre Leonardslee Estate at Lower Beeding and was planning to reopen it to the public in spring 2018, he had little idea of the response he would get.

The news spread quickly and he was astounded by the number of people contacting him: “We had a really positive response with lots of people from different walks of life contacting me from all over the country – it’s been incredibly encouraging!”

Those contacting Adam included the lady who created the original dolls house displayed on the Estate, keen to restore it and a wallaby breeder interested in the rare colony of wallabies that live there, as well as garden enthusiasts and people enquiring whether they will be able to access the Estate with their dogs (they will, as long as the dog is kept on a lead!).

Leonardslee House and Gardens, often described as one of Britain’s most beautiful gardens, were built in 1801. Sir Edmund Loder, a Victorian plant collector, bought the 200-acre estate in 1889 and he planted a dazzling collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and magnolias, considered by many to be one of the finest collections in the UK. The flowering season starts in early spring and reaches a glorious peak in May, although the gardens are spectacular throughout the year.

In addition to the beautiful flowering shrubs and spring bulbs, there are a series of tranquil lakes, two alpine glasshouses and an impressive rock garden as well as a unique doll’s house exhibition depicting the Edwardian estate and neighbouring villages at 1/12th scale.

The Estate remained in the Loder family for five

generations, with each generation adding to and developing the landscape. Leonardslee became a tourist destination in the twentieth century, attracting some 50,000 visitors a year until 2010 when it was sold by the Loder family to a private buyer and closed to the public.

It was Adam’s mother Penny Streeter, business entrepreneur and owner of the Benguela Collection vineyards and hospitality group (which includes the nearby 400-acre Mannings Heath Golf Club and Wine Estate), who first saw the potential of the Leonardslee Estate when it was put back on the market.

Adam said: “We have a really fantastic opportunity to restore the Estate to its former glory and create a major local attraction for families, wedding groups and others. We plan to re-open the gardens to the public in the spring and then over the coming years introduce a tea room, dining facilities, a farm shop and B&B as well as possibly planting some vineyards if the conditions are right and creating a winery. Our vision is to create a whole visitor experience around a working winery to complement the Grade 1 listed gardens.”

When I spoke to Adam he was at the planning stage. “After being neglected for several years, we are desperate to get the gardens into a good state before we open in the spring. Just trying to clear the paths has been quite an overwhelming task.”

He went on: “The public response to us taking on the Estate has been fantastic and it’s an amazing responsibility to bring Leonardslee back to life for all these people – we’re really looking forward to welcoming the public back.”

Sarah Butler

Leonardslee House and Gardens will open to the public in early Spring 2018 – the exact date will be announced in February. For more information and to purchase annual membership or gift vouchers visit www.leonardsleegardens.co.uk.

All annual membership holders will have access to the gardens 10 days before they open to the general public.

n conjunction with St Peter’s Church, Henfield Haven has been hosting very successful Community Sunday Lunches for some time now, and when Haven manager Lorette Mackie came up with the idea of holding a festive lunch on Christmas Day it was greeted with universal enthusiasm, not least from Haven customers!

The day, which started at midday with pre-lunch prosecco and nibbles, was an enormous success attracting around 40 lunch guests. Some came as family groups and others came on their own to join the fun and socialise. Some were Haven regulars, others were new faces, but every guest enjoyed

3 8 | B N 5 M A GA ZINE

a delicious three-course menu and everyone was made to feel very warmly welcome. Although plates were piled high with roast turkey, stuffing and all the trimmings, everyone seemed able to find space for Trish’s famous Banoffee Pie. Preparation started some time ahead of the day, as any busy Christmas cook will tell you, there’s more to lunch than peeling the odd sprout! It was very much a group effort, under the calm and cheery guidance of Lorette who cooked like a professional chef and timed the whole event

impeccably. Around ten local people volunteered to help Lorette on the day; serving, taxi-driving those without transport, and tackling the big mountain of washing up! There were lots of other ‘hands on deck’ on Christmas eve for potato peeling, veg prep and setting up the tables.

By the time 4.30pm came the last customer had been taken home and the last roasting tin had been washed up. We sat down to our own Christmas lunch and a large glass of wine - it really had been the most rewarding day, hopefully to be repeated again next year. We received some very touching ‘thank you’s’ from guests, some of whom would have been on their own for Christmas day if it hadn’t been for the Henfield Haven.

01273 494002

More than anything, the day was a perfect illustration of the good work of the Henfield Haven.

The care and individual attention Lorette gives to each and every Haven customer, all of whom she treats like family, is an absolute credit to her and epitomises the values of the Haven.

A big thank you to Lorette and her team, and those local volunteers who strive to keep the Haven going every day, not just at Christmas.

Emma Osman Remember, everyone is welcome at the Henfield Haven!

Being a teenager can be hard but parenting one can be even harder…

We are all familiar with the roller-coaster ride of emotions that come with being a teenager. We’ve been there ourselves and experienced our own version of the highs and lows of adolescence. As parents we often bear the brunt of our son or daughter’s frustration with their lives and the world. If they are feeling very angry, anxious or depressed we can be left feeling responsible and powerless to help. We tell ourselves this is a normal part of growing up and we try not to take it too personally.

But what if you are really struggling to cope? Sometimes a teenager’s behaviour can have such a negative impact on your relationship, on family life and on your own mental health that you’re left feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to turn.

Counselling can offer you a safe, confidential place to talk. Remember that your needs matter too.

Bringing up children is one of the most important jobs you can do and for many of us, it is also the most challenging. It is common for parents to seek counselling for their teenage children but as adults, we are often in a stronger position to make good use of counselling and make positive changes to our family relationships. Getting support for yourself and a place to talk things through can help you to help them.

A grand fundraising event will be held at the Henfield Hall on Friday 23 March from 7-9pm (the bar will open at 6.30pm).

There are fantastic lots up for grabs in the silent auction and the list of tempting items being auctioned on the evening includes: • • • • •

2 tickets to the exclusive, invitation-only, launch party in May for Peter James next book A meal voucher for The Fox A one-hour bounce session at Sky High Trampoline Park for two people Tea with MP Nick Herbert at the Houses of Parliament First four of a new collection of reprinted James Herbert titles with glamorous foil edges

Entrance to the silent auction costs just £10 and tickets are available now from the Henfield Haven, Stokes and Jasmines.

How does a silent auction work? There is a description beside each item. Write clearly your name, telephone number and amount you are willing to pay underneath the description of the item you are interest in bidding on. The next bid, by someone else, will go on the next line. You may return to the same lot to keep bidding. All final bids are binding, please don’t cross out anything. Bring your purse and credit card. When the Auction finishes at 9pm there will be announcements and distribution of details to bid winners.

All profits from the event will be equally shared between the Henfield Hall and the Henfield Haven.

Despite residents working to upgrade the Henfield Hall with their skills, time and materials so that the entrance hall, kitchen, bar, Garden Room and Committee Room have had complete redecoration, there is still work to be done. After major expenditure to repair the roof last year there is little left over for the planned major refurbishment to the main Whittome Hall which is a massive undertaking and will cost a great deal of money.

The Henfield Haven now has a wide range of facilities including the establishment of a threeday week high-needs service as well as many other activities and therapies and a full ‘Action for Hearing’ extension. It now has a minibus and an excellent café with a growing reputation for cooked meals at reasonable prices. Many clubs meet here and there is a special Wendy House (Mini Haven) for tiny tots in the beautiful garden.

However, this wonderful facility will only be able to continue its service to the community provided it can support the work with on-going fund raising.

Run Robla Run! I am writing this article just after the Christmas break.

We had the honour of hosting Annelise’s parents and while on a Christmas day walk, my mother in law made the observation that I was looking particularly “well”. Knowing her as I do, she was not referring to the fact that my electrolyte or mineral levels were in perfect harmony but more that I had been experiencing too much of the “bon viveur” lifestyle in recent weeks. It was hard to deny that the old waistline had expanded, so when she had left (after a celebratory glass of port and some cheese), I resolved to try and do something about it.

The next day I hit the running machine. I’ll be honest and say I have never enjoyed running for the pure purpose of exercise. I know there are many, many people who will not understand my point of view, but I am like a dog – give me a ball to chase and I’ll run around after it not thinking about the fact that I am being healthy, getting fitter and burning calories – it’s all incidental! This is not the case with a running machine. For me, the treadmill is the epitome of my dislike of running – you don’t see anything, you don’t go anywhere, you just count every tiresome minute and every gruelling kilometre wondering how long to can endure it for. However, as with all exercise, at least you have the solace of knowing that you have achieved something and you have a general feeling of satisfaction having completed your personal challenge.

In my case having got my heart rate up to 500 and with my lungs burning and my legs aching I picked myself up off the floor where I had been ejected by the stupid machine, massaged the rubber burn on my chin and the sweat from my eyes and surveyed the display to see how many mars bars I could now eat for the rest of the day. Apparently, I had burned 126 calories….

126 calories – that’s only half a mars bar! If I wasn’t so dehydrated, I think I would have cried…

What this emphasis on exercise has bought into focus for me is the achievements of a veterinary friend of mine who I went to the Royal Veterinary College with. His name is Rob Pope and he was always a keen runner back in the day. He has completed several London Marathons, the New York Marathon and even won the Australian marathon in 2015. There’s no denying he has a good running pedigree. However, in the past 15 months or so, he has been embarking on a challenge which makes a marathon quite literally look like a walk in the park. In September 2016 he decided to become a real life “Forrest Gump” and run across America. This sounds like a feat in itself, however, in the film, Gump crossed America 5 times... Currently Rob has just completed his fourth crossing of the continent and has run over 13,000 miles. He averages around 40miles per day and is aiming to complete the 5th crossing before his first child is born in March.

Rob has taken on the challenge in order to raise money for 2 very worthwhile charities – WWF and Peace Direct. He is doing well, but his achievements have not received anywhere near as much of the recognition that they deserve which is why I thought I would be good to give him some publicity! If you would like to support Rob, then you can help by “liking” his facebook page and spreading the word. If he can get to 10,000 likes then he will receive much more attention from major sponsors. He’s not far off, so every “like” helps. Of course, he would also be grateful for any donations to the two charities as well.

Rob’s facebook page is www.facebook.com/runroblarun You can also visit his website if you are not on facebook www.goingthedistancerun.com Phew, writing that was tiring work – think I need a glass of wine and a piece of cake to revive myself!

Brexit – some thoughts…

A

nd so the Brexit negotiations roll on – and the only predictable thing is unpredictability.

What has been agreed so far? Er, I’m not too sure… ‘sufficient progress’ needs to be put into legal text and there are lots of details to be addressed. What does ‘full alignment’ at the Irish border actually mean? In practical terms, how will Northern Ireland trade with Eire?

The EU27 were united over getting the UK to agree to pay as much as possible for the Brexit bill and that was concluded. That was the easy bit of course compared to what lies ahead.

At the end of January, formal negotiations are due to begin on the transition period post-Brexit. However, EU negotiators won’t have the authority to start discussions with the UK on future relations (including trade, security and foreign policy) until another set of guidelines is adopted in March.

That gives the two sides not much more than 6 months to agree the text of a broad political declaration on the outlines of a future relationship. It will be, says the European Council President Donald Tusk, a “furious race against time”. The EU wants to have the withdrawal agreement (including transition arrangements) and a broad political declaration about the future relationship (not a full a trade deal) finalised by October.

That will give time for the withdrawal agreement to be ratified in full before the UK leaves the EU in March 2019. It needs the approval of a qualified majority of the EU27, as well as simple majorities in both the UK and European parliaments. Until those votes are cast, no-one can say that agreement has been concluded.

The EU’s position is that the transition has to take place under all existing rules and regulations (including budget payments, the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice and the movement of people) and that it will end on 31 December 2020.

The UK will have become a rule-taker rather than a rule-maker.

The end game is 1 January 2021 – where we will enter a new world of trade and immigration less than 36 months away. The clock ticks.

What happens if a trade deal isn’t concluded by the very latest the end of the transition is very unclear.

Whilst your business might not itself export to the EU, you may very well still be affected by Brexit through its effects on your supply chain. Within your supply chain, there will be businesses that have EU27

trade connections – therefore your business will not be immune from the ‘fall-out’. Increased prices and slower import times due to trade restrictions and associated paperwork are but two significant issues.

Turning to your staff - your people are your greatest asset. In a communications vacuum, employees will fear the worst. So far as your workforce is concerned, if you have EU national employees then in order to protect their current employment status, think about: > 5 qualifying years in the UK? Then an application for Permanent Residence (PR) is recommended; Apply for British citizenship (mandatory to apply for PR first though); The rights of employees’ children – they may be different to their parents; < 5 qualifying years in the UK? Apply for registration certificates to confirm status.

For British citizens, assess dual citizen eligibility via any EU ancestry or long residence.

With General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) fast approaching in May and affecting every business, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has confirmed that the UK will implement GDPR and that Brexit has no effect on GDPR at all.
