After a fabulously sunny May we are really looking forward to a busy outdoorsy June and there are some really great local events to look forward to. The perennial favourite, Henfield Festival of Gardens and Arts takes place in early June, then there’s the Shipley Arts Festival, the South of England Show at Ardingly, Wood’s Mill 50th anniversary events, Sussex Prairies re-opening with their plant fairs and courses, the Floral Fringe at Knepp, the end of the brilliant Steyning Festival and to finish it all off Henfield’s contribution to the Great Get Together in Henfield High Street. There’s also artists open houses in Horsham and plenty of concerts and exhibitions, and don’t forget the always popular St Peter’s Church Fete! All these wonderful things do a great job to remind us what a busy, happy, caring village we live in. Please don’t think life is changing for the worse when you hear the bad news (which travels a lot faster than the good news), such as the raid on Barclay’s Bank or the assault on a member of the Shell Garage staff. These terrible things are upsetting and can cause real harm to the victims. But, they are rare, this IS a wonderful village and there are a lot of good people who working hard to make a difference. With so many good things happening in June it’s a great time to join in, help where you can, and have fun!

JUNE 2018 | News MMT’s plan to build a new town straddling both Mid Sussex and Horsham districts is now in tatters with the newly adopted plan not only making no provision for MMTs’ proposals, but also specifically only allowing development in and around existing towns and villages. With Sussex under constant pressure for development, LAMBS fully support the new Mid Sussex Plan’s key aim which is the ‘Protection and Enhancement of Countryside.’ “LAMBS is delighted that the beautiful countryside of Mid Sussex is now free from this dreadful threat,” says the LAMBS’ Committee, “and we Ken Scott © Touching the Light would like to thank everyone who has supported TIM PARSONS MEMORIAL MATCH our campaign over the years.

CLOUD OF UNWANTED NEW TOWN LIFTS FROM MID SUSSEX On 9 May a dark cloud lifted from thousands of acres of beautiful, unspoilt Mid Sussex countryside as the deadline passed for any legal challenges on the newly adopted District Plan. Mayfield Market Towns had until 9 May 2018 to launch a legal challenge following the Plan’s adoption on 28 March. The statutory six-week period allowed unsuccessful developers like MMT to find ways to challenge a District Plan in accordance with Section 113 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. However, with no challenges submitted the Plan is now set in stone and MMT is effectively ‘locked out’ of the District. Mayfields is left out in the cold as Government Planning Inspector, Mr Jonathan Bore, signed off the District Plan. This marks the end of five long years of campaigning in Mid Sussex and bodes well for the ongoing early review of Horsham’s District Plan. The Horsham Plan was adopted in October 2015 on the condition that it was reviewed within its first three years partly due to the uncertainty at the time over the government’s decision on airport expansion. The review is underway.

FINISH FOR MATT On 22 April, just 3.7 miles from the finishing line of the Virgin London Marathon, celebrity chef Matt Campbell collapsed and tragically died. He had been running in support of charity Brathay Trust and in a national and international mark of respect and solidarity runners and non-runners pledged to finish Matts marathon by completing the last 3.7 miles and making a donation to the charity. Here in Henfield we paid our own respects, with members of Henfield Joggers (some of whom had been running in the marathon when Matt collapsed) and the local community joining together and completing Matts journey. Rest in Peace Matt, in the knowledge that your legacy will live on for many years and help countless young people. Paul Crowe
LLOYDS PRESCRIPTION ASSEMBLY SOLUTION (PAS) Lloyds Pharmacy has for some time been developing an off-site Prescription Assembly Solution (PAS) which is currently servicing nearly 200 stores from Warrington. This will free up time for in-store staff to focus less on the day to day assembly of prescriptions and other tasks and enable them to spend more time with customers providing advice and services. For the Henfield branch this will mean an improved service and increased customer satisfaction. PAS in Warrington is dispensing nearly 100,000 packs per week and a second PAS line is now live at Bristol. The Henfield branch will be serviced from Bristol and training is currently underway in the branch to ensure that all measures have been completed in readiness for this exciting and pioneering development. So how will it work? The prescription remains in the pharmacy, but the data is submitted to the off-site facility at Bristol where the prescription is professionally assembled, labelled and bagged, and then returned to the pharmacy to be handed out to patients. This results in a significant time saving and will transform the customer experience in Henfield. Lynda Caster, Lloyds Cluster Manager 1 4 | B N 5 M A GA ZINE

HENFIELD’S BP GUILD ELECTS NEW CHAIRMAN Robin Wadey recently stepped up from Vice Chairman to become Chairman for the next two years. Prior to this, Eric Williams reviewed the year’s volunteering activities including fundraising through BBQs, hiring of marquees & gazebos and jumble sales. He received a resounding thank you from the over 33 or so members present at the AGM. Robin, with the help of elected ‘officers’ will steer members not just through fundraising but also in mobilising the support to organisations such as the Henfield Scouts, Henfield Guides, HART, St Peter’s Church, the Henfield Club, the Henfield Hall, the Haven and the National & International BP Guild. Some support is also given to others by participating in village events. For those not familiar with the BP Guild, there is an active social side throughout the year, all paid for by members themselves of course, which include concerts, evening dinners in and out of the village, camping, canal boating and meeting up to celebrate after an evening’s or day’s volunteer work. The Guild is always keen to welcome interested parties or in hearing from anyone interested in hiring competitively priced marquees. To find out more about us, see www.henfieldbpguild.btck. co.uk.

HENFIELD SHORT MAT BOWLS
A year has passed since I contributed to this excellent little magazine, so I thought I should keep you up to date with our unique club that uses the Village Hall on Friday mornings for most of the year. The ‘Henfield Short Mat Bowls Club’ has been playing for 25 years or more and some of our players have been with us for the whole time. The game is similar to the Lawn Bowls outdoor game that you have probably seen but reduced in size – which makes for its own difficulties; it’s not as easy as it might look. We use standard ‘outdoor’ size bowls but it requires less effort than bowling the full length of a grass (often wet) outdoor green. In April we hired the Hall one Sunday to play competitions amongst ourselves. Organised by our efficient Team Manager, Mike Johnson, we played singles and in pairs. Although at times rather chaotic with over 20 brief games during the first couple of hours it worked out well, with the finalists nearly all being ladies – come on you chaps, you must do better! The winning pair was Audrey Heitman with Mavis Wixler and the singles winner, i.e. the Champion, was Brenda Berrett. Congratulations! They are awarded the respective trophies and medals at our summer lunch in June. This is a great club to belong to – giving an interest all through the dark wet days. We have room for one or two more so don’t be shy, come and have a look at us any Friday morning except July and August. You’ll get a free coffee at least and a warm welcome. Hope to see you soon.

WOODMANCOTE HALL UPDATE
Firstly, a big thank you to our loyal supporters, sellers, sponsors, volunteers and committee. Without your time and effort, the event would not be such a great success. Our latest good as new sale on 28 April saw well over 100 shoppers arriving to grab some wonderful bargains. Alongside the sale there was a grand raffle, visit from Henfield fire engine, face painting, Henfield rocks painting, goody bags plus delicious cake and bacon sarnies. We raised a whooping £1220.58! Warren Playgroup is the last charity run, fully inclusive early years setting in the village. The fundraising allows the children to enjoy a variety of enrichment activities such as yoga, dance lessons and reptile handling at no extra cost to families. Fees alone would also not cover the replacement of much needed learning resources and toys, we hope to purchase a mud kitchen, which we know the children will love. Warren Playgroup is thrilled to have been chosen by Tesco Bags of Help scheme as one of the projects they will fund, so please vote for us in Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath branches until 30 June 2018, to ensure we secure funding for the school leavers forest school sessions at Woodsmill Nature Reserve taking place this term. The parent committee is always looking for new members, if you fancy being part of a fun team of parents do get in touch. www.warrenplaygroup.co.uk. Emily Slater
The Charity Commission have now confirmed they will amend the governing document under which the Hall is governed. Without this amendment, it would not have been possible to raise funding for the necessary restoration and improvement of the Hall. Once re-opened, the Hall can be used for any social or community purpose at the discretion of the Trustees. This decision of the Charity Commission will allow the Church to grant a new rent free longterm Lease for the Hall, to the new Charity. The Trustees for the Charity have now been appointed and the application to form the Charity is with the Commission for registration. The Trustees will shortly commence a fundraising campaign to enable the necessary works to be put in hand so that the Hall can be reopened. Our initial aim is to raise £70,000 to put the structure, services, and decoration of the Hall into good order. We have already raised £10,000 from local benefactors and will seek further contributions from local organisations, businesses and the general public. Following the Annual Parish Meeting, at which there was in excess of 80% support for the reopening of the Hall, we will re-open discussions with the Parish Council seeking their financial support for the refurbishment of the Cottage. It is a part of the proposal, on which the scheme to reopen the Hall has been advanced, that the cottage should be upgraded and become rent producing to allow further improvement of the Hall.

The June issue of thirteen8 magazine which is the sister publication of BN5 magazine, is not only our 100th edition but will sadly thirteen8 be our last. We have loved publishing a magazine for the Cowfold, Partridge Green and surrounding areas, we’ve made lots of friends in the process and being involved with the local community has been a real privilege. It has also meant that we have been able to promote clubs, groups, charities and community events from the Henfield area further afield into this postcode area, which covers some 3,400 properties. However, we have recently been expanding our publishing business and we are finding it difficult to give thirteen8 magazine as much time as it deserves. BN5 magazine is busier than ever and we are now expanding in size and in its 144th issue, so we are not going anywhere! We plan to distribute extra copies of BN5 magazines at drop points in Cowfold, Partridge Green and the surrounding areas, and we hope to be publishing interesting articles from the RH138 area in BN5 too, there are so many interesting local events that cover the whole of this corner of Sussex. An enormous thank you to all our advertising customers for supporting thirteen8 for the last 8½ years, and to everyone who has sent us interesting news and articles and read thirteen8 magazine. We wouldn’t have been able to reach the milestone of 100 issues without you. Partridge Green | Cowfold | Shermanbury | West Grinstead | Dial Post | Shipley | Dragon’s Green | Coolham

On 8 June 1968 Woods Mill nature reserve at Henfield opened to the public. Over the past 50 years the reserve has been visited by thousands of people of all ages. Whether they are children pond dipping on a school visit, adults learning about wildlife, or just casual visitors enjoying the serenity and wildlife during a relaxing stroll, this beautiful corner of our county has been an invaluable resource to generations of Sussex and Henfield residents. Thanks to generous support from ScottishPower Foundation, Sussex Wildlife Trust is celebrating 50 years of inspiring and educating visitors by organising a wealth of free activities throughout the coming year. The planned programme of walks and talks at Woods Mill are designed to bring you closer to nature so why not visit their website and book your free place on a bluebell walk, bat evening, watch the moth trap being opened or enjoy the dusk chorus of birdsong. Everyone is welcome, and the events are free of charge as part of the Golden Anniversary celebrations, but places are limited so booking is essential. Please do not just turn up. www.sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/woodsmill50events. Amanda Reeves

BN5 BIRDS
In May Swifts will hopefully have returned all the way from southern Africa to Henfield to nest and rear young. These amazing birds which eat, preen, sleep and mate while flying will be with us until the end of July when they will migrate all the way back to southern Africa – a round trip of around 14,000 miles! They are incredible flyers with a maximum speed of 65 mph. You may have noticed them in the summer months racing up and down the High Street screaming at one another. They fly about 500 miles a day and during their lives they fly about 2 million miles – equivalent to more than 4 trips to the moon and back! They can live for up to 30 years and usually stay with the same partner all their lives. Swifts have nested in Southdown Galleries for a number of years and there are now a few more nests in private houses near the Parish Church. Mostly their nests are in spaces under roofs and in nooks and crannies of old buildings, but special Swift nest boxes can be attached to buildings such as those at the side of Stokes. The Swift population is decreasing rapidly because old buildings are generally knocked down or repaired and new buildings have no nooks and crannies. They are very faithful to their nest sites so, if the nest site is knocked down or repaired – they are homeless! Henfield Birdwatch is looking for new nest sites in Henfield but we can’t snoop around private houses. If you are interested in helping Swifts please go to our Facebook page or email debbie.colgate037@btinternet.com. Debbie Colgate

n the fascinating book “Henfield, A Sussex Village” by Marjorie Carreck and Alan Barwick, you will discover that the Henfield Fire Brigade, which was established in 1904 by Henfield Parish Council, once employed ‘call boys’ on bicycles to alert the firemen of an emergency. Each of the firemen had a white, enamel plate on his garden gate with FIREMAN boldly written in red. They used a hand-cart with hoses for the first two years before upgrading to a horse-drawn appliance stored at Mr Tobitt’s Coach House (Magnolia House on the High Street) at a rent of £6 a year, the horses were stabled at The George. This was a crucial role in the village and one that remains crucial to this day; the history of this very local fire station is one that the retained firefighters who crew Station number 56, Henfield, are very proud of. There are now 11 retained firefighters at Henfield and the geographical location of the station, relatively central to the A23, A24 and A272, means that they are kept very busy. Less ‘traditional’ fire emergencies these days (certainly compared to the days of candlelight!) and much more technical rescue work as well as the more proactive education about fire safety. They are very often first on the scene of an emergency, especially RTC’s (road traffic collisions) so the ability to give essential first aid has become even more important to the role. Being a firefighter isn’t just about climbing ladders and operating a hose, it’s a varied role requiring all sorts of skills and personalities. 2 6 | B N 5 M A GA ZINE
And this is the key to the team’s success. They are all very different as individuals, and with trust and team spirit they function even more effectively as a whole. They have learnt to work together almost intuitively because at the scene of an accident there is no time for showboating or individual heroes. If you are argumentative or think you know best then you’re not suited for the job, because your pride could cost a life. Jim Mundy, Henfield Crew Manager and firefighter for 26 years, is softly-spoken yet commands huge respect from his team. He explained that remaining calm and expecting just about anything when the phone rings is part of the job. “We get all sorts of call-outs. We always say when a 999 call is made, the control centre directs crime calls to Sussex Police, illness calls to the Ambulance Service and anything else, they call us! In total, there are 194 categories of call outs, we need to be trained and prepared for any one of them.” The majority of their calls are RTC’s which can be harrowing and rewarding in equal measure and demand the latest training and technology in releasing crash victims from vehicles. They also get their fair share of rural emergencies such as cows in the river and the odd chimney fire!

Bradley Aldridge, Hugo Healey, Simon Funnell, Nick Whiting, Rich Novis and Darren Ware, have a combined 122 years firefighting experience between them. They all have very different dayjobs, from office jobs to mechanic, construction work and engineering. One member, Nick, is actually a full-time firefighter for East Sussex but as he lives in the village he volunteered as a retained firefighter to keep the numbers up. That’s indicative of the spirit at the Henfield station; Nick was prepared to be on-call virtually 24 hours so that the engine wouldn’t miss a call-out because of lack of numbers. It takes 4-6 firefighters to crew the engine, which is why the only proviso (aside from a good level of fitness and the ability to work at height) is that they live within 4 minutes of the fire station. Because the engine needs a qualified driver and one crew manager on board each time, the team also contains two support managers and eight of the firefighters are qualified to drive. Although there are currently no women at the Henfield station, female firefighters have been part of the team in previous years and the Henfield crew would very much welcome new women recruits, it is a logical career path for many women and no distinction is made. Retained firefighters can choose when they are on call and some will work nights rather than daytimes.
01273 494002
The Henfield station is particularly short of daytime cover, the shifts best suited to people who work in the village or are perhaps stay at home parents with children at school. It does take a certain level of understanding from an employer to allow staff to be on emergency call-out during work hours. But business owners with experience of their staff taking on this role will tell you that the advantages of your employee having the training and professional characteristics of a highly trained firefighter far outweigh any inconveniences. These inconveniences are also minor when put into the context of the lifesaving service retained firefighters provide. The Henfield team is a professional, friendly, happy and hard-working group of people who are proud to wear the badge of the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. There is no hint of machismo or competition, just the occasional affectionate joke between friends and a steady buzz of activity. This level of camaraderie is borne out of trust; after all, there are not many of us who go to work and put our lives in the hands of our colleagues. If you think you could be a retained firefighter, Henfield Station 56 are actively recruiting right now. Please contact Jim Mundy on james.mundy@westsussex.gov. uk if you would like to find out more, or pop in during one of their recruitment events, dates will be published in BN5 magazine. Emma Osman

T
he Henfield Festival of Gardens and Arts will take place over the weekend of Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 June. This is our 19th festival and we, the committee, hope you will come and join in the fun. The ethos of the event is to celebrate the village and the talented artists and musicians who live here or in the locality, as well as to provide an opportunity to look in to a few gardens for ideas and the joy of seeing the results of hard work that you haven’t had to do! We are generously supported by many local businesses who sponsor the event and also by our community venues which make a donation to take part and provide a valuable exhibition space for some of our larger shows of work. All the gardens and events are free to attend. Our artists display a variety of work including paintings, embroidery, bead-work and ceramics, and some offer their work for sale. Our musicians will provide music to enliven the festival with brass bands, jazz bands and folk bands to name just a few genres. There are 24 gardens and nine community venues to explore and all are listed in the free blue booklet available from numerous outlets in the village and further afield. The blue booklet has a map to help you find your way and many of the village footpaths, known locally as twittens, are
01273 494002
shown so that you can enjoy a gentle traffic-free meander around the trail. Each venue can choose to support a charity and there will be collection boxes available for donations. We also have our website www. henfieldgardensandarts.net which provides an alternative information point to the blue booklet. The website has lots of information about each venue, the artists and the musicians – much more than we can fit into the blue booklet. It is updated regularly and the latest news is always available so please do visit it. Henfield’s local shops and businesses support the Open Gardens theme by dressing their windows with a garden or arts inspired window and it’s worth a wander down the High Street to see the displays. The Festival starts at 11am each day and finishes at 5pm There are two large car parks in the village centre and many venues have good street parking too, but we ask that you take the opportunity to walk or cycle as this is the best way to see the village. Our Festival will conclude with a ‘Mardi Gras’ celebration at the Henfield Hall on Sunday. The only thing we can’t guarantee is the weather, but we are sure you will have a fun day out!

he Henfield High Street Great Get Together, which will take place on Saturday 23 June, is inspired by Jo Cox, who was killed on 16 June 2016. Jo’s message when she entered parliament was: “We have more in common than that which divides us”. There is a groundswell of people who reject divisive politics and simply want to bring communities together and celebrate all that unites us. The BBC is currently running a ‘Crossing Divides’ season and Henfield now has a Befriending initiative. Already community-minded people around the country are organising a variety of events to take place over that weekend. The Henfield High Street Great Get Together will be an all-day event and it’s our chance to show what a friendly place Henfield and its High Street is. We are thrilled by the enthusiasm of our High Street businesses and local organisations in participating. As the theme this year is gingham, the High Street will be decorated with gingham bunting, using fabric donated by the community and made at a community Sewing Bee evening held in May. There are already a number of activities
planned for the day. And the following will give you just a taste of what will be on offer: There will be a treasure trail for the children with a super prize for the winner and there’ll be something special happening in the library for children too. The Free Church is putting on a barbeque and the Youth Club are organising a Karaoke in the bus shelter. The shops and businesses up and down the High Street will be offering a special welcome and some will also have events taking place on their premises. The Friends of the Haven will be on the High Street to chat with you and tell you about this wonderful centre which provides fun activities and services to help people live life to the full. The Henfield Shed behind Stokes will have its doors open, so why not pop in and see how creative as well as enjoyable a place it is, and join in the chat and interaction it generates. If you’re feeling energetic, you will also be able to join in a guided walk from the High Street through Henfield’s many twittens, footpaths and lanes. So make a note of the date and come and join us on the High Street. We’re getting quite excited! Sue Willis

hose of you who are regular readers of the BN5 Magazine will perhaps remember an article this retired gentleman wrote in the June 2017 issue headed “thank you Henfield” in which he thanked a number of establishments and individuals in the village for their help and generosity. What most of you probably don’t realise is that Ian Thomson who wrote this article is an 89 year-old cricketing legend who has lived in Henfield for more than a decade. I had the pleasure of meeting Ian for the first time about three years ago, when I was invited to a barbecue in the village having been told in advance that Ian would be there. As a long time supporter of Sussex Cricket Club I had as a school boy in the early sixties collected the autographs of most of the then players including Jim Parks, Tony Buss and Alan Oakman. One name that was missing was that of Ian Thomson. I somewhat sheepishly took along my autograph book which, at sixty plus years old, was somewhat tatty and asked Ian if he would sign on the two Sussex team page, which he gracefully did and we have been friends ever since. Ian, over a coffee or glass of wine, can be coaxed into talking about his cricketing achievements and whilst I don’t wish to bore you with statistics it’s worth mentioning a few to understand the skill and ability of this Sussex seam bowler. In the fourteen seasons that Ian played for Sussex (1952 to 1965) Ian’s bowling figures were second to non: for twelve consecutive years he took more than 100 wickets each season, beating Maurice Tate’s record. Ian’s best ever bowling session took place in 1964 when bowling against Warwickshire he took all 10 wickets in one innings for 49 runs. The hapless bowler at the other end was a young John Snow who went on to become one of the best fast
01273 494002
bowlers to ever play for England. Unfortunately, a Sussex batting collapse cost Sussex the match. During his career Ian took the wickets of some very accomplished batsman including the great Len Hutton, Denis Compton and the Australian left handed Neil Harvey. At Sussex he played under a number of captains including the Rev David Sheppard who went on to become the Bishop of Liverpool and Ted Dexter. Ian’s international career started relatively late for a medium pace bowler being selected to play for the MCC tour of South Africa weeks before his 36th birthday. Fred Titmus and Geoff Boycott also bowled. In recent years Ian suffered a stroke which has left him with limited use of his left arm and the need to use a walking stick. This has not stopped him being very active and during the summer months I have joined him on occasions at the Hove County Ground where he is still treated with great reverence and the mention that he is in the car guarantees you a private parking space. Last season we visited a county match on the second day when the Sussex bowlers were being hit all over the park as we entered the stand area a fan of a certain age immediately recognised Ian and shouted “Ian get on that pitch we need you!” Ian stopped, lent on his walking stick looked up at the fan and said “I wish I could” he then moved on to our front row seats. It occurred to me then that whilst time had robbed him of his ability to bowl in swingers and leg cutters, once much feared by top international batsman, his spirit was still as strong as ever. I once asked Ian if he had any regrets in his career: he has one and it is that he gave into pressure from his father to join the family business situated in East Ham in 1965, shortening his cricketing career by at least three seasons. He hated the change and in 1970 returned to Hove and following teacher training at Brighton University, taught at a number of schools in the area including Bevendean Secondary and Brighton College. I hinted earlier of Ian’s modesty and this was no more apparent than two years ago when Ian invited me as a guest to a past-players lunch at Hove. After the meal one of the stewards asked Ian if he would be happy to sign autographs, to save him leaving the table it was suggested that the autograph hunters should visit the table. I counted 20 plus in the queue and when Ian had finished signing he turned to me and said “I don’t know what all the fuss is about, all I did was to play cricket!” Rod Richardson

What to expect during an Ayurvedic Massage therapy session If you have never had one, you might be wondering what is an Ayurvedic Massage Treatment and how it differs from a regular massage. Because everyone is unique, special handcrafted organic oils are used which are infused with Ayurvedic herbs for your individual body-mind constitution (Doshas) The oils are heated to a comfortable temperature and are applied during a whole body massage involving the back, arms, hands, neck, head, legs, feet, and hips. I will also massage the marmas points (similar to acupressure points) throughout the body massage. These are considered to be the seat of vital energy (prana) and by massaging, this helps to mobilise blocked energy. You will be covered with soft towels throughout the treatment, and only the parts being massaged will be exposed, ensuring you feel warm and secure. Your hair will also come in contact with the oils; the oils are good for your skin and hair and offers deep nourishment. If you would like to try an Ayurvedic Massage, please contact me, Catherine Hanicotte on:

f you were one of the 400+ people in the Henfield Hall on evening of Friday 20 April at the Henfield Village Activity Evening, then you will have seen just how friendly and active a village we are - a comment made by many on the night. The main objective of this Parish Council sponsored event (which runs every four years), was to enable Henfield residents, and particularly new ones, to come and meet lots of community organisations all in one place. For those organisations that exhibited on the evening, 75% of the clubs said they either signed up new members or had interest shown in them. On the night there was also a lot of networking going on, for example the Youth Club were planning a future visit to the Bowls club. I met a number of visitors at the door who told me they had just or were about to retire, or had just moved to the village and were looking for things that might interest them. Some of them succeeded as they mentioned a cross-section of the clubs. If, however, you did not find anything that interested you on the night, or you weren’t able to attend, please do get in touch on hcptemporary@gmail. com and I will be happy to share my knowledge of all the various organisations in Henfield to see if we can help with a match. For example, I know of clubs that would really welcome those with marketing, finance, or legal background to help with projects they have in hand. On the same evening the Henfield Museum launched its new temporary exhibit: ‘100 years of Henfield Women and the Vote.’ Henfield had strong connections with the suffragette movement and this fantastic display is definitely worth checking out. We look forward to everyone coming together to support the next few Henfield Community events which will be taking place over the coming months, including: • The Henfield Festival of Garden & Arts which takes place over the weekend of 9-10 June all over the village. • The Memorial Field Sports day on Sunday 16 September – a festival of games, food and drink on Henfield Common.

Buy to Let – tax implications
If you are considering purchasing a residential buyto-let property, you may not be aware of all the tax implications. Usually there will be two taxes that you may have to pay. These are Income Tax, which is payable at your marginal tax rate each year based on your income from the property after deducting certain expenses that you have incurred, and Capital Gains Tax (CGT), which is payable when you sell the property and is based on the sale proceeds of the property less the original cost. Income Tax There are two types of income that you will receive from your tenants – rent and deposits. Rent is taxed each year based on the income that is due to you during a Tax Year, rather than on the rent that you actually receive during the year. For example, if a tenant pays you in advance, only that part which falls due within the Tax Year will be taxed in that year. The remainder will be taxed in the following Tax Year. Similarly, if a tenant is late paying you, that part which was payable in the earlier Tax Year will still be taxed in that year. The only exception to this is when a tenant defaults on a payment and you are not able to recover the amount due. Deposits are not taxable whilst they are still repayable to the tenant, but once either part or all of the deposit ceases to become repayable, for instance, because there has been damage to the property, then it becomes taxable at that point. There will be various expenses that you will incur on your property, those that you can offset against your rental income (allowable expenses) and those that you cannot offset against your rental income (disallowable expenses). The more usual items are listed below. Allowable: • Advertising the property for let; • Repairs to the property and general maintenance costs; • Costs of services provided to your tenants, such as utilities; • Managing agents’ fees; • Accountancy fees, where you employ a professional agent; • Insuring the building and contents; and • Interest paid on any loan taken out to buy the property (subject to below): Disallowable: • Renovation work and improvements made to the property, e.g. replacing an item with one of
a higher specification, installing central heating, carrying out any work which was accounted for by a reduced purchased price for the property; • Capital repaid on any loan taken out to buy the property; • Costs incurred whilst the property is not available for letting; and • Costs of purchasing/selling the property. This list is not exhaustive and you should seek advice to ensure that you obtain any tax relief available. Loan Interest Relief Until 5 April 2017, you could deduct the amount of mortgage interest you have paid on your let properties against your rental income. Relief was therefore given in full at your marginal rate (20% for basic rate taxpayers, 40% for higher rate taxpayers and 45% for additional rate taxpayers). From 6 April 2017, this relief reduced to basic rate relief as follows:
2017/18 2018/19 2019/20
% of interest relievable at marginal rate 75%
50%
% of interest relievable at basic rate 25% 50%
25%
75% From 2020/21, relief will only be available at basic rate. For basic rate taxpayers there will be no change; however, for higher and additional rate taxpayers this will effectively mean you have a further 20% or 25% charge on loan interest paid. Where rental yields are low, particularly in London and the South East, this could even result in a net cash loss. Where property businesses are highly geared, this could also affect profitability significantly. Where an expense is not allowed for Income Tax, you may be able to obtain tax relief for these expenses once you sell the property and this falls within the CGT regime. There are additional rules regarding furnished lettings, including furnished holiday lettings. These rules may result in you being able to claim additional expenses against your income. Capital Gains Tax The gain, subject to tax, comprises the proceeds that you receive from the sale less the price that you originally paid for the property. These costs will include your costs of purchasing and selling the property, such as legal expenses, estate agents’ fees and Stamp Duty Land Tax. If you have carried out any improvements to the property, including renovation work, and these costs have not qualified for relief under the Income Tax rules, then you may be able to get relief for these expenses now.
After deducting the CGT exemption (presently £11,700), the gain is taxed at between 18% and 28% depending on your overall level of income. The tax is payable on 31 January following the end of the Tax Year in which the disposal took place. Advice should be sought before you put the property on the market with a view to mitigating any potential gain. Various options might be available, including joint ownership or giving consideration as to whether you could validly elect for the property to be treated as your Principal Private Residence (PPR) prior to disposal. Administration You are required to complete a Personal Tax Return and pay your tax liability for each Tax Year once your letting has started, even if you do not already receive a Return from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). HMRC charges penalties where a Tax Return is submitted late and interest where tax is paid late.
