Editor’s LETTER

Bonfires, sparklers, hotdogs and soup - Firework Night is an incredibly popular Henfield event, it’s also a big fundraiser for St. Peter’s school. The display is always great, you’re sure to bump into lots of people you know and maybe enjoy a glass of mulled wine while you ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’. Although I love the blowsy spectacle of the fireworks my favourite part of the night is always the bonfire.

This year at St Peter’s there is a Guy competition, after which the entries will be ceremoniously thrust onto the fire - as tradition rightly dictates. Join in and enjoy the fun - we’ll be featuring the winning entries in next month’s BN5.

It is very special for us this November to feature one of the original Bomber Command heroes, who lives right here in Henfield. Bob Noakes saw active service as a wireless operator during the war years in a Lancaster Bomber, he was one of the ‘lucky’ crew who made it home. We are honoured that Bob has chosen to share his story with us.

It is thought provoking and relevant as we once again remember those who gave their lives so selflessly, and still do today, in conflicts across the globe. Join the village in the traditional act of Remembrance this 11 November, see our news pages for more details.

A late news entry - we have heard, off the record but from a reliable source, that the Shell garage in Henfield has a target re-opening date of February or March 2013, after some essential water pipe redirection takes place in January. Let’s hope this really does happen.

Enjoy November.

Many thanks to our editorial and photographic contributors this month; Paul Samrah, Richard Cohen, Jonathan Underwood and Mike Beardall.

NOVEMBER 2012 | News School Crossing Vacancy

Patrol

School Crossing patrols provide a vital service to the children of West Sussex by assisting them to cross the road safely on their way to and from school. We currently have a vacancy for a School Crossing Patrol in London Road, Henfield. The rate of pay is ÂŁ6.84 per hour rising to ÂŁ7.19 per hour by annual increments and of course you only work in term-time (38 weeks of the year). In addition you will be paid a five week holiday allowance on top of your salary and also for public holidays. Your salary will be spread equally over 12 months, so you get paid exactly the same every month. There is no upper age limit - we have several patrol people well into their seventies! Uniform and training are provided. Working times at this site are 08.25â&#x20AC;&#x201C;08.50 and 15.25â&#x20AC;&#x201C;15.50. As the role involves working with children, a Criminal Records Check will of course need to be undertaken. For further information and an application form, please contact Julie Finn at West Sussex County Council on 01243 777319 or email to Julie.finn@westsussex.gov.uk

Henfield Gardens and Arts support Youth Club Chairman, Will Green presented a cheque for ÂŁ4,000 to Debbie Slaughter, leader of the Henfield Youth Club on behalf of the Henfield Gardens and Arts organising committee. The money was generously donated by visitors to gardens at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, which took place on the weekend of 13-14 June. The money raised will enable the youth club, which has recently suffered cuts in its funding due to the economic downturn, to continue its valuable work in the local community, supporting and developing the interests of young people.

Over the past 13 years, over ÂŁ50,000 pounds has been donated to local and national charities by Henfield Hardens and Arts. Locally, these have included Henfield Area Response Team (HART), which provides emergency first aid, the Sussex Air Ambulance Service, as well as village childcare facilities and educational projects.

The 2013 festival will take place on 8-9 June and village gardeners are invited to attend the organising committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AGM at 7.30pm on Thursday 8 November at Red Oaks, Cagefoot Lane, Henfield.

REMEMBRANCE IN HENFIELD Remembrance Sunday this year falls on 11 November.

The arrangements in Henfield are similar to last year with a parade and service at St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church at 9.45am followed at 10.45am at Henfield War Memorial in the High Street by a short service which will include the reading of the names of Henfield residents who have died in the service of this country and a two minutes silence at 11am.

Henfield High Street will be closed from Golden Square to Church Street between around 9.10 and 9.30am and between 10.30am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11.30am on the 11 November with diversions signposted. There will also be delays in Church Street.

On Friday 9 children from St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School will be laying poppies on the war graves and memorial plaque in Henfield Cemetery and the public are very welcome to attend.

Steyning Music Society The final concert in the season on Saturday 24 November at 7.30pm welcomes the lovely girls of the Benyounes String Quartet who share a passion and enthusiasm for their music and communicating with their audiences. Haydn, Debussy and Mendelssohn make up their delightful programme.

Zoe Peate

David Blower Following the article we ran on David (Joe) Blower earlier in the year his family would like to thank the residents of Henfield for their support and would like them to know that he is currently in Upper Mead and open to visitors.

Christmas Starts Here!

The Friends of St Barnabas are promoting a charity concert entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Christmas Starts Here!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Thursday 6 December 2012, at 7pm in the Henfield Hall.

This concert is an annual showpiece of Henfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical talent, in support of the wonderful work of St Barnabas House and Chestnut Tree House in their palliative care of adults and children with life-limiting illnesses.

Those of you who attended the Jubilee Concert in Red Oaks last summer will remember Henfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local Royal Opera singer Sidonie Winter, who tops the bill; and Brass Fusion, who will be accompanying the community carols. There will be contributions from other local soloists and songs from St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School Choir. A chorus from Henfield Theatre Company will preview their January production of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. As in previous years there will be musical offerings from The Henfield Consort directed by Lesley Barnes; St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Handbells; and contributions from the local churches. The Friends of St Barnabas will be serving mulled wine and mince pies during the interval.

Tickets are priced at ÂŁ5 (under 12â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ÂŁ3), and will be available from Henfield Furnishings and the Henfield Churches from Monday 12 November.

Ploughing Match

The Ploughing Match and Show was in the glorious sunshine and at the superb site at Priors Byne Farm expertly organised by the host farmers John and Alison Ford and our Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Committee chaired by Philip Bower. It was another record crowd and a great cross section of entrants including 50 ploughmen and women, our first lady hedgelayer, excellent livestock entries including a resurgent dairy section and a very good younger generation entry in the very popular young persons calf and lamb handling classes, plus good field, domestic and children class entries from exhibitors ranging from below 2 years old and those of over 80 years old. Everybody seemed to enjoy the big range of side attractions including the steam ploughing and thresher display, numerous other exhibits and trade stands as well as the mini beer festival at the bar which was pretty much run dry!

NOVEMBER 2012 | News Henfield Parish Council At the time of going to press Henfield Parish Council learnt with great sadness of the death of Checkley Keene.

Checkley was Parish Clerk in Henfield from 1982 to 1992 and continued to live in the Parish until his death.

The efforts of Henfield Parish Council, Henfield Community Partnership, HOPS and CPRE to persuade the planning inspector not to grant outline planning consent for up to 102 new homes on land east of Manor Close Henfield was not successful and the inspector decided to allow the applicant’s appeal. This Council appreciates that Henfield is under threat of further development, as are all larger rural settlements throughout the country, but felt this particular application was not right for Henfield. This appeal only related to outline permission and a more detailed application dealing with such matters as building design will have to be approved before development can commence.

The new and colourful Chessbrook Green children’s play area has opened at Wantley Hill. The total cost of £35,000 was provided by Henfield Parish Council, Saxon Weald and S.106 planning gain money resulting from previous new housing development in Henfield.

West Sussex CC will be undertaking tree works in Church Street between Parsonage Road and Upper Station Road and it will be necessary to close this stretch of road over two days. The work is scheduled for 8-9 November.

Henfield Parish Council makes small grants to local groups and organisations. Whilst Council is keen to see the grants relate to specific projects it is also prepared for the grant to go towards general operating costs. Applications for a grant should be submitted in writing to Henfield Parish Council at The Henfield Hall, Coopers Way Henfield BN5 9DB by no later than 6 December 2012. If available, applications should include a copy of the last full years accounts and an indication of what the grant is required for.

hamfelds 1st anniversary

This month sees a celebration at Hamfelds – Olivia Pugh and the team celebrate their first successful year.

“The first year has really flown by, it’s been a very exciting time for us and we’d like to thank all our customers for their support,” said Olivia.

Many customers have commented how the shop has visually improved the high street, with hanging baskets, bedding plants and attractive window displays.

“Our mantra has always been to ask at Hamfelds first when you’re looking for something for the home. We’re now expanding into some gift ideas for Christmas, we offer vouchers which are great gifts for those who are a little trickier to buy for!” said Olivia.

Olivia has the support of her knowledgeable staff; Pat, Rita and Chris. “Thanks to them all for helping me through this first year, it’s been fantastic. Local people have been so kind and I am so looking forward to the next year.”

Henfield pensioner football comes to Henfield goes on-line thanks to Henfield Football Clubs U7s and U8s are the first village project members of the club to try out a new type of chilFormer Sussex social worker Mary Johnson has taken a first step into the world of the internet – at the age of 83!

Mary, who lives at Rayner Court, Henfield, was the first to have a free computer installed as part of a scheme organised by the village website team.

Mary, who has four grand-children and four great grandchildren, has a grand-daughter in Tanzania. “It will be the first time I have been able to see and speak to her online,” says Mary. “The Henfield Hub team have been very helpful and shown me all the ropes – as well as installing my computer and making sure I understand all the mysteries of e-mail and the internet.”

Henfield Hub editor-in-chief Digby Stephenson said: “Mary is the first person to apply for a free computer and we look forward to hearing from other elderly people who would benefit. Others in need – such as disabled, students and unemployed ¬ may also qualify. We want as many people in Henfield as possible to gain access to the website, which will keep them up-to-date with all the activities in the village.”

Mary, a former Cowfold parish councillor and resident for 32 years, says: “The Henfield Hub is an exciting development and I am spreading the word among all my friends about getting free computers. During my career I never used a computer so all this is new to me.”

To discover if you qualify for a free computer and training, contact Digby Stephenson on 07815 048609 or e-mail info@henfieldhub.com.

dren’s football introduced by the FA a few years ago and now adopted by the Horsham and District Youth Football League. Children under 9 years of age now play on smaller pitches (not much bigger than a double tennis court) with a maximum of five players per side (goalie included).

The goals are smaller, the teams are smaller, even the balls are smaller. The intention is simple - less players on the pitch means more time on the ball for these youngsters at a critical period in their development.

Richard Hill, Head Coach of the U8s is delighted with the change. “The single most important thing you can teach a child at this age is to be comfortable on the ball. They must be able to control it, decide what to do with it, and to be able to implement that decision - whether that’s a shot, a dribble or a pass. However the more players there are on the pitch, the less time the individual child has with the ball. Whilst training sessions are important, to have more time in match situations to learn to use the ball as they want, to make more passes, to make more tackles, more runs with the ball - this is how a child will learn to become ‘comfortable’ on the ball. All the other aspects of the game - tactics, positional sense, working as a team - will come later. As the children grow older they will play in bigger teams – seven-a-side, then nine-a-side then finally full 11 a side at the age of 13. “ If you are interested in your child playing (boys or girls - the sport is unisex at this age) please contact Richard on 493218. The Club is particularly keen to hear from children in school year 3.

Henfield Community Partnership 7th year The Henfield Community Partnership (HCP) held its AGM on 13 September 2012. The Chairman, Tony Jackson, presented the Directors’ report, highlighting a number of topics of particular interest from the work in the year ending 31 March 2012.

Commenting on another year of many achievements for the community, he said that “much of this was down to the strong working relationship the Partnership has with the Parish Council. Last October we issued a joint community action plan covering the period 2011-2015, and both organisations since then have focussed on

NOVEMBER 2012 | News taking forward the high priority actions. The way both bodies are able to work together for the good of the local community is an exemplar for other communities, some of whom unfortunately seem not to have a good working relationship. In Henfield, though, there is no doubt that by working together we can achieve far more than operating alone.”

Two particular areas of joint work demonstrate this relationship. One concerns helping to revitalise the local economy where a number of initiatives have been pursued from helping to organise a Christmas evening with the traders, to drawing up a two-year programme of retail training for the High Street shops, building on some initial training last summer delivered by Central Sussex College; the necessary funding for this training programme, however, is proving hard to find.

The second example is a project which started last a year ago to set up a state of the art website for Henfield. The Chairman said “thanks to a grant last March from WSCC, work has progressed rapidly and the Henfield Hub was launched on 16 October. I have no doubt that, not only will this be one of the best community websites in the country but, more importantly, it will be a great enabler for helping to achieve a number of our plan objectives.”

Other activities mentioned by Tony Jackson included: further surveys of car parking, the results of which were published locally to highlight the best times to park; the work of the Partnership’s Action for Older People’s Group, which currently is the only local group in the Horsham District working on behalf of older residents of their village; a village based employment project; and in the local Budgens store the management of a noticeboard for ads and posters as a means of both increasing awareness of the HCP and raising some money for local charities as well as showing Budgens’ support for the local community – so far, he said, “we have raised £800 for the Youth Centre, quite a success.”

Also at the meeting, the Directors were re-elected for a further year, together with volunteer members to the Management Committee. In his closing remarks Tony thanked all the volunteers for their hard work and organisations like the Parish Council for their support in various ways that have contributed so much to the work of the Partnership, showing the valuable role the HCP continues to play in the life of Henfield.

NOTICEBOARD SUCCESS The Community Partnership notice board situated in Budgens has been an overwhelming success, raising £800 for Henfield Youth Club so far. Tony Jackson, chairman of Henfield Community Partnership and manager of Budgens Andrew Warnes presented members of the youth Club and Debbie Slaughter with a cheque. Many thanks go to Paula Blake and her son David, plus Mary Fitzmaurice and Richard Kendall for their sterling work maintaining the notice board.

Dementia charity Know Dementia, the local charity that supports family carers of someone with a dementia, is offering carers the opportunity to attend free information/training sessions in the Henfield Hall. This will give carers the chance to learn how to cope and also to share ideas with each other. Please come along and learn more about this condition.

News | NOVEMBER 2012 North West Sussex Seagulls

Brighton & Hove Albion supporters club North West Sussex Seagulls held their September meeting at the Plough Inn, Henfield. Treasurer Ian Morris gave a brief report on how successful the club had been in transporting fans to the Amex with the two coaches that the club runs on match days now having eighty coach season ticket holders, although some ad hoc coach travel tickets are still available. Club Secretary Mike Wilson reported that the committee had been approached by the official BHAFC Supporters Club for a donation towards some seating in the Amex Memorial Garden.

Former Albion goalkeeper Michel Kuipers was the guest speaker and kept the meeting entertained with anecdotes of his earlier career in the marines and more latterly as a professional footballer. A lively Q&A session followed. Born in Amsterdam, Kuipers made 287 appearances for the Albion and was with them for ten years and firmly established himself as a legend amongst fans.

In 2010 he left to join Crawley Town FC but still has very strong ties with Albion’s charitable arm, Albion In The Community. At the end of the meeting Albion fans had photographs taken with their hero and Michel then signed autographs. Not only was this man a top goalie for the Albion but he’s also a winner, a gentleman and a really nice guy.

Jasmin’s jam wins gold!

Jasmin started doing lots of homemade baking whilst on holiday in Scotland and my mum asked her if she would like to enter the ‘World Jampionships’ something her cousin Riley Bridgewater had won in 2011 with his raspberry jam. Jasmin was up for the challenge... I think partly to see if she could knock Riley off the top spot (cousin rivalry!).

She spent hours trying to perfect a good flavour and texture for blackcurrant, strawberry and raspberry jams. She almost gave up with the blackcurrant as topping and tailing hundreds of little berries was extremely tedious and actually took longer than making the jam itself!

However she kept on going and after lots of time spent in the kitchen all three jam’s were ready to be entered. She was so thrilled and pleased when she received a certificate in the post saying that she had won Gold for her blackcurrant jam! Entries come in from all over the world and this was her first attempt at making any kind of jam, so I know I’m slightly biased, but I thought she did extremely well!

We want to know what you need. What could we do to provide local support to help you into work or put you in touch with keen would-be employees? Should we set up a Job Club? Do local businesses need support recruiting local people? Do young unemployed have enough or the right information about finding work? Do women returners know where to start looking? We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, but the survey is intended to provide that sort of information.

The survey is designed in three sections so you can choose which applies to you: 1) Looking for Employment, 2) Self employment/own business or 3) Employer. The survey is organised by a group of volunteers and specialists involved in helping people into work and is under the umbrella of the Henfield Community Partnership.

Bysshop Meadow shared ownership scheme Situated on the northern side of Henfield, the Bysshops Meadow development has been thoughtfully designed to ensure there are a variety of attractive and contemporary homes. Southern Home Ownership have an exclusive selection of homes at Bysshop Meadow (built by Charles Church) available under the shared ownership scheme. Providing local people with an opportunity to get on the housing ladder, this highly desirable selection of homes includes both 1 & 2 bedroom apartments and 2 & 3 bedroom houses, which will be released in phases into early 2013.

Shared Ownership (also known as part buy part rent) is a Government funded scheme aimed at first time buyers to give them the opportunity of owning a home of their own. The scheme is simple - you buy an affordable share of between 30% and 75% of the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full value and pay a subsidised rent on the remainder, with an option to purchase further shares at a later date.

The shared ownership scheme is open to first time buyers or those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently own a property. Purchasers must also be in employment, registered with the local Homebuy Agent (www.homebuyoptions.co.uk) and have a household income of under ÂŁ60,000. Purchasers must also have enough savings to cover their deposit and fees.

Priority for these homes will be given to residents of the Parish of Henfield. For more details on Bysshop Meadow, or about the shared ownership scheme itself, then please contact Southern Home Ownership on 08456 12 12 71 or email: sales@shgroup.org.uk.

Annual flu vaccination Hello, if we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t met, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Sam. I joined Henfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team of practice nurses 15 months ago. I have been a nurse for 25 years, 4½ of those in practice nursing. I love the different aspects of working in the medical centre and I enjoy meeting and looking after the local community in my clinic.

At the surgery we are getting ready for our annual flu campaign. Fiona, Tina, Linda, Angela, Sue and I are ready to give and advise on the flu vaccines. There is information in the surgery and on our website. It is best to get protection as early in the winter as possible but after October we will continue to give the vaccination up until at January 2013 if stocks last. Every year a different vaccination is produced by monitoring and identifying the strains of flu viruses that are present.

The people who fall into the groups the NHS need to vaccinate and protect are the over 65â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, people with lung problems, heart problems, chronic kidney problems, people with low immunity, carers and those who are pregnant. People who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall into these groups and want a vaccination can organise this at a high street chemist or private clinic, it will generally cost around ÂŁ12 -ÂŁ20. Unfortunately we cannot vaccinate you. It is really important to take up this FREE vaccination the NHS offers - we want you stay healthy this winter, so come and see the team and say hello.

ogether with the Spitfire, the Lancaster bomber is one of the most iconic airplanes from the Second World War. We were very privileged to meet with Henfield resident Bob Noakes who saw active service as wireless operator in Squadron 635 (part of Bomber Command) and hear his story.

Bob was born in 1921 and grew up in the East End of London. He left school at the age of 14 and went to work for the Observer newspaper. However, office work wasn’t exciting enough for Bob and when the war broke out in 1939 he went to work for the Fire Brigade. “I was bored of being in an office and wanted to be out and about,” he said. “As I was too young to fight fires, I worked as a despatch rider, riding between the fire crews.” At the beginning of the war the docks received a lot of heavy bombing from the Germans and Bob saw the destruction. He often had to dig people out of air raid shelters and his parent’s house was destroyed along with many others.

However Bob’s ambition was to fly and he joined the RAF as a volunteer reserve at the end of 1940. “I really wanted to be a pilot, but ended up being a wireless operator as I didn’t have the right education to be a pilot.” The training process was very long and Bob had months of ground duties before actually getting into a plane. One job involved operating a flashing beacon on the east coast to guide damaged planes in to land.

It was while he was training as an air gunner on Anglesey in North Wales in 1943 that Bob met Janet Robinson and they married the following year. “After we were married I put my wireless temporarily out of action

so that I could spend the w e e k e n d with my wife” said Bob with a twinkle in his eye. “Of course I ‘fixed’ it at the end of the weekend so everyone thought I was a good boy!”

After completing his training both as a wireless operator and an air gunner, Bob had a spell in the Operational Training Unit (OUT) on the Isle of Man training new recruits. “This probably saved my life as lots of aircraft were shot down at this time,” admitted Bob. It was usual for bomber pilots to choose their six crew members and Bob was chosen by Flight Lieutenant Doug Jarvis as his wireless operator. “It was a good crew” said Bob proudly. “Not once did we argue – we were all good friends and we had some laughs. When we had time-off we went down to the pub on our bikes to get drunk – it was our way of letting off steam.”

In October 1944 they were sent to Yorkshire as part of 578 Squadron where they flew on seven operations over Germany in Halifax bombers. Whilst there, Flight Lieutenant Jarvis was selected to join the 635 Squadron – part of the Bomber Command Pathfinder Force based in Norfolk – and Bob and the rest of the crew went with him.

to come back on just two engines.”

Many other crews weren’t so lucky as Bob was only too aware: “On Christmas eve 1944 we went out on a mission with another crew. Before we left were laughing and joking and talking about our Christmas dinner.

The next day we got back to the airfield but the other crew didn’t make it. We really missed them.”

At the end of the war Bob left the RAF and took a job in a manufacturing company in London so that he could spend more time with his new wife and baby daughter. But the camaraderie of his crew has never left him. “We stuck together and always kept in touch.

Every year, up until three years ago, we would take it in turns to meet up at each-others houses. There’s only two of us left now.”

Because of the controversy surrounding the high civilian losses during the bombing of German cities such as Dresden, the Bomber Command aircrews found themselves snubbed at the end of the war. “None of us received a victory medal at the end of the war like the Army and Navy did and that really hurt,” said Bob. It has taken nearly 70 years for a memorial to be erected to honour the Bomber Command aircrew who lost their lives fighting to end the war. Back in June Bob was invited to attend the official unveiling of the RAF Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park in London by the Queen. He was accompanied by his daughter, Jan and he met Prince Charles. “We have fought for nearly 70 years for recognition so I am very, very pleased about the memorial – it was a very emotional day.”

In total Bob flew 29 operations in for 635 Squadron during 1944 and 1945 in Lancaster bombers. Most of these were bombing missions over Germany, but towards the end of the war he was involved in dropping food supplies for civilians over Rotterdam in the Netherlands. After victory in Europe was declared, operations involved transporting prisoners of war and bringing British soldiers based in Italy home on leave.

Over 12,000 aircraft from Bomber Command were shot down during the war, and more than 55,000 aircrew were killed - the highest attrition rate of any British unit . “I was lucky - someone was looking over us,” admitted Bob. “We got knocked about quite a bit and we often came back with shell holes in the aircraft. On one occasion we had an engine knocked out and had Sarah Butler

Jolesfield Community Choir

W

hen was the last time you had a good sing?

Unless you are a regular church goer, there are limited opportunities for adults to enjoy singing as part of a choir. But an exciting community choir based in Partridge Green is giving residents the opportunity to sing to their hearts out once a week.

The Jolesfield Community Choir was set up in September 2010 by Judith Finlay, a teacher at Jolesfield Primary School and a fully trained musician. “The school has had a children’s choir for some time and we’re part of the ‘Sing Up’ initiative,” said Judith.

“Some of the parents kept asking about an adult choir and eventually I decided to put a questionnaire out to parents at the school and the wider community. I had such a good response that I decided to set up a community choir and see what happened.”

What happened was that around 40 local people aged between 7 and 86 turn up on a weekly basis to sing together. It’s a nonaudition choir and singers of all abilities and ages are welcome, whether they feel they can sing or not. They sing a range of music in four-part harmonies (soprano, alto, tenor and bass) from pop songs to religious choral works and show tunes to secular music.

Whatever the style of music, the resulting sound is absolutely gorgeous. Whilst I was there they sang a traditional African song as a warm-up and then launched into a beautiful version of ‘Run’ by Snow Patrol – a real spine tingler! As I was leaving they were starting to practice a choral piece in latin by Bruchner.

Although Judith had previously sung in many choirs, she had only ever conducted chil-

dren’s choirs. “I wasn’t quite sure what to expect at first and I was quite nervous to begin with,” she admitted. “But it’s been a very enjoyable experience and I’m very proud of the quality of sound they produce.”

Word quickly got round about the quality of the choir’s singing and after only a couple of months in existence they were approached by one of the local churches to sing at the St Celia’s day celebrations (St Celia being the patron saint of singing!). They were also approached by Becky and Nick Illes to sing at the Green Man’s evening of festive music and carols. Both events have now become a regular annual fixture.

Singing has many health benefits, both physical and

3 2 | B N 5 M A GA ZINE

NOVEMBER 2012 | Local interest psychological. As an aerobic activity, singing increases the oxygen in the blood stream, increases lung capacity, improves posture, clears respiratory tubes and sinuses and exercises major muscle groups (including the heart) in the upper body. Psychologically singing is a great stress buster as is it releases endorphins or feel-good hormones. Or, as one member put it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;After singing with the choir you walk out of the door with a lift in your step.â&#x20AC;? Other members talked about the increased confidence they got from singing as part of a community and the sense of achievement they got from mastering a particularly tricky piece of music.

The great thing about the Jolesfield Community Choir is that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need any experience or even know how to read music to join. In fact, as one of the members said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an elitist choir and you end up learning about music in a drip-feed kind of way!â&#x20AC;? The choir has a great team spirit and although they work hard when learning a new piece of music, there is a lighthearted and fun element to the evening.

If you are one of those people who sing in the shower or the car, you probably ought to go along and give it a go. After all, as Ella Fitzgerald said, the only thing better than singingâ&#x20AC;Ś is more singing!

The choir meet in the main hall at Jolesfield Primary school at 7pm on Wednesday evenings. For more information contact Elizabeth Carey at e.carey@sky. com, telephone 07880 551751, or just turn up!

Heritage Conservation OLUS WOOD YARD

Sustainable Sussex wood

ore and more of us are turning (or returning) to wood burning as a form of energy. When sourced locally from well-managed and sustainable sources, lighting your fire on an autumn evening can actually have a positive impact on your carbon footprint. The pleasure of an open fire or wood-burner and the aroma of seasoned wood is also a very good reason to enjoy this natural resource.

Living in Sussex we have many sustainable woodlands right on our doorsteps, if you have ever walked along the Knepp estate footpaths you will be right in the heart of Heritage Conservation. Their wood yard is conveniently located on the A272 just west of the Buck Barn (or McDonald’s), crossroads, before the turn off to Shipley. You may have driven past it before; next time maybe turn in and take a look. A country track signposted on the right hand side of the road leads down to a clearing in the woodland.

Ash, oak, beech, sycamore, hawthorne, silverbirch and alder cordwood (the un-processed logs) is stacked high, piles of well-seasoned logs and a wood-craft area greets the visitor. The wonderfully fragrant aroma of freshly split logs is ever present and the dappled shade from surrounding woodland and constant birdsong completes the idyllic setting. I met Dave Ansell, co-owner (above) and Della Guy, (pictured right) who runs the shop and office on site, to find out more.

“I’ve been greeted by so many people saying ‘Wow, what a wonderful place’ when they first visit and I can’t agree more,” said Della. “I’ve been working here for three years and I love it. Not only can customers come and pick their own wood, either for delivery or to take home on the spot, but we have so many other

wood related products - there is plenty to see.”

The ‘environmentally friendly’ statement, so often over-used, is a reality at Heritage. The wood is sourced from sustainable Sussex woodlands, as locally as possible, which cuts down on carbon emissions from transportation and also makes the wood cheaper. While I am visiting a huge transporter arrives, stacked high with cordwood. Jake, who is in charge of processing, guides the lorry for unloading, while the yard around is busy with the flurry of tractors moving pallets of logs, nets and bags. An industrial size log splitter cuts wood into even sizes ranging from 6-8” for a small stove, 10” for a fire place right up to 16” for inglenook fireplaces or wood burners. It’s fascinating to watch the process in action.

Customers are able to select exactly what they want – the type of wood, either in smaller nets or large crates that can be loaded manually into the back of their cars. They can get advice from Jake about the best types of wood for open fires or stoves, maybe collect a bag of kindling or some mulch, woodchip, bark or compost for their gardens. There is a free local delivery service – you can either phone

your order through to Della or go on-line to order. During busy periods demand for deliveries is high, so get your winter order in early.

The Wood Shop is full of lovely hand-crafted wood products, from coat hooks to wellie racks, besom brooms to hurdles and Sussex pimps (traditional firelighters), all locally made by craftsmen. If you are planning outdoor events then Heritage ‘log candles’ create an impressive display – giving heat and a romantic light as the logs slowly burn downwards, leaving a natural burnt log sculpture when they finally extinguish.

At Christmas time Heritage comes into its’ own. Like a winter wonderland, twinkling lights are strung up and row upon row of local Christmas trees of all sizes and types are ready for your selection. This beautiful forest of festive pines are left un-netted so that you can see exactly how wide and even they are.

Although the wood yard is a busy place of work there is still an abundance of wildlife. Nuthatch, Robin, Chaffinch, Woodpecker, to name a few regularly visit the feeders outside Della’s office. Overhead there can be up to six buzzards at any time soaring on thermals, circling as they pass over.

Heritage is a magical place to visit, a peaceful corner of Sussex woodland. With winter fuel prices escalating, the natural warmth of wood has never been more attractive. Pop along to see Della and Jake for the best advice on Sussex wood.

FLAT PACK HOMES

J

an and Andrew Holden, who have lived all their lives in Henfield, were looking to build a traditional English home and that’s just what they did – with a twist!

Inspired by the Grand Designs TV programme, Jan and Andrew started to look around for a plot and came across Bramcote Nurseries on Bramlands Lane, which used to belong to Christobel Williams - Henfield’s former ballet teacher. The house is an intriguing mix of old meets new on a beautiful site surrounded by mature oak trees. “We wanted to build a new house, but because there are so many oak trees around we felt that a traditional oak framed house would be more appropriate in this setting” said Jan. The house started life as a ‘flat pack’ and it took the suppliers nine days to put up the frame which is made from 50 oak trees. The walls between the frame are filled with Styrofoam, a type of dense polystyrene, which is extremely energy efficient. The foam is coated with a special waterproof membrane on the outside and rendered and plastered and painted on the inside.

Other energy efficiency features include an Air Source Heat pump and a plan to put Photovoltaic Panels on the out-buildings. Although the frame came from Herefordshire, much of the subsequent work was carried out by local tradesmen and the unusual owl finials on the front of the house came from a local company in Small Dole!

The result is a beautiful, light and airy house which looks remarkably at home in its setting. “We love the house” said Jan. We’ve still got a lot to do but we’ve been in since July this year and it’s been absolutlely fabulous.”

Despite the house looking typically English, only the design is home grown as Jan explained: “The oak comes from France, the bricks come from Belgium and the tiles come from Poland – it’s a truly international house! There has been much interest in Jan and Andrew’s house both locally and further afield. They are hoping it will feature on the programme ‘My Flat Pack Home’ this Autumn which is on the Home Channel.

How clean is your pets mouth?

ast week I had a long overdue check-up at the dentist. Despite my appointment being at 2.30 (no word of a lie!), Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased to report that the experience was uneventful.

shatter when they are chewed, but instead rub the tooth and remove the tartar. The kibble is larger than normal dry foods, which ensures that it is crunched and not swallowed whole. Generally, feeding these diets as 30% or more of your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total daily intake will significantly reduce tartar build up and keep their teeth clean. At Hawthorn, we recommend Hills Veterinary Essentials which is a maintenance diet made up of teeth-cleaning kibble.

Unfortunately, there will be many pets where instigating brushing or a change of diet is shutting the door after the horse as bolted! Once gum disease and tartar build-up have reached a certain level, then the only way of dealing with the problem is to have a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dentalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performed. This consists of removing tartar using an ultrasonic de-scaler, cleaning and polishing the healthy teeth and possibly removing any diseased or rotten dentition. Dentals have to be carried out under a general anaesthetic at the surgery.

What are the signs of dental disease? Dogs and cats are excellent at tolerating and hiding dental pain which would have any normal human being in mortal agony and waving a white flag. As you may have guessed, the primary sign to look put for is halitosis. If it is mildly unpleasant you may get away with a diet change or toothbrushing. But if you dog can melt plastic with his breath, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably time to get something done about it! Other signs to look out for are bleeding gums or blood on or around the food, dropping food whilst eating, reluctance to eat hard food and excess salivation or drooling. If your dog or cat actually stops eating as a result of dental disease, then the problem will be very far advanced and very painful.

If you think your pet may need a dental, then now is the time to act because in the months of December and January, we are running a fixed price dental offer! ÂŁ110 for a cat and ÂŁ140 for a dog. This includes the anaesthetic, descale, polish and any extractions. We also offer FREE dental checks with our nurses, so feel free to book an appointment if you just want to get your cat or dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth assessed. If you have any questions regarding your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dental problems, then please contact us at the surgery and a member of staff will be happy to advise you.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be pleased to know that Scoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breath is now as fresh as a summer meadow, in a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meatyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sort of wayâ&#x20AC;Ś

However, as I sat on the sofa afterwards eating a mars bar and drinking a coffee with eight sugars, I was greeted by our dog, Scout, who came up and gave me a close-up yawn followed by a canine belch. The rancid miasma which permeated my nostrils was enough to put me off my confectionery and I was forced to eat some cake and ice-cream to recover. I am ashamed to say that having been rather busy in the past few months, we had neglected to monitor Scoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dental health that had resulted in the kind of weaponâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grade halitosis which could probably get us arrested by the UN! There are several causes of halitosis, but dental disease is by far and away the most common. Halitosis can also be a side effect of metabolic problems such as diabetes, kidney and liver disease. Dental disease manifests in bad breath because the waste products of bacteria in the mouth smell bad! Unhealthy mouths have inflamed gums (gingivitis) and more tartar on the teeth. Bacterial numbers increase between the tooth, tartar and gum which leads to the eye watering aroma that you may receive from your dog, cat or possibly less hygienic relativeâ&#x20AC;Ś Dental hygiene is the pet equivalent to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;how clean is your houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on television â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some pets have lovely â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pearly-whitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, while others would have Kim and Aggie scrabbling for the bacteriology swabs and facemasks from fifty paces!

So, what are the options for dogs and cats with halitosis?

Prevention is better than cure, so any action that you can take to prevent tartar build up is a good one. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is no substitution for mechanical removal of plaque on a daily basisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was the mantra that was drummed into us in dentistry lectures at university â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so much so that I suspect that it was some kind of mechanical device that gave the lectures in the first place. Essentially, this means brushing your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth as often as possible. There is no denying that regular brushing of teeth is the best thing that you Jonathan Underwood MRCVS, Hawthorn Veterinary Surgeries can do to prevent dental disease, however, it does hinge 01273 495227 www.hawthornvets.co.uk on having the time and a co-operative â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;brusheeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in order to be successful. If their TV show is anything to go by, Kim and Aggie would probably advise cleaning teeth with lemon juice and a brillo pad, but these days, meaty flavoured toothpaste and special dog and cat toothbrushes <RX ÂśFDQ¡ WHDFK DQ ROG GRJ QHZ WULFNV do make the job of cleaning your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth much easier.

If brushing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for you (or more likely your dog or cat has made that decision), then you can influence dental hygiene with the diet that you feed. Dental chews and similar can help, but in order for diet to have a meaning- 6SHFLDOLVW LQ DJJUHVVLRQ ful effect, dental-friendly food must be fed a significant EHKDYLRXUDO LVVXHV amount of the time. This is not really practical with dental chews as they are designed to be fed in addition to a $QLPDO 7UDLQHU IRU )LOP 79 diet, not as a replacement. Also, cats really arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fans of dental chews! There are several diets on the market that 7 0 are specially designed to prevent tartar build up and keep teeth clean. They consist of kibble (biscuits) that do not ( HPPDGDOHLQF#OLYH FR XN

Are you throwing away £23,000?

I

t might come as a shock, but that’s how much it could cost if you don’t shop around to find the best income for your retirement.

Not all annuity providers are equal.

Whilst your pension provider may be a good place to save for retirement, that doesn’t necessarily make them the best choice for your annuity when the time comes to retire.

In fact, you might be able to increase your income by as much as 19% by using your right to shop around for a better annuity, known as the Open Market Option. To put this into perspective, with a fund of £45,000 that’s roughly the same as someone adding about £8,500 to your pension fund pot. And don’t forget, any extra income you secure is guaranteed to last for your lifetime.

Using your Open Market Option allows you to make the most of your existing pension fund by finding a better annuity deal. Our free seminar will explain the process and the myriad of options available to you.

Furthermore, you could be one of the estimated 60% of people who could qualify for an “enhanced annuity”. Depending on your medical situation you could improve your lifetime income by around 50% over your pension provider’s annuity offer. In the case of a fund of £45,000 that works out about the same as having your fund boosted by over £23,000.

To check if you qualify is simple and we will explain how at our seminar. Research shows that the majority of retirees could qualify for an enhanced annuity and with over 1,500 conditions and lifestyle factors taken into account, this should be the first consideration in your retirement income plans.

It is imperative you ensure you are getting the best income you can when you come to take your benefits.

That’s where we come in – as independent financial advisers we can explore your options with you and help you maximise your retirement income and even help you to decide whether an annuity is the best

option for you.

Please look at the details on the facing page on how to register to attend. Our last seminar was 40% oversubscribed so early booking is essential.

CHRISTMAS PARTIES AND GIFTS

E

ven though the economy is barely showing any signs of recovery, you may be planning a Christmas party for your staff - be sure not to let the taxman crush your festive spirits! Paul Samrah of Kingston Smith LLP advises how to celebrate in style.

A staff party paid for by an employer technically counts as a benefit in-kind, on which employees are taxed.

However there is an exemption that allows employers to host the event without it being treated as a taxable benefit – provided the cost per head is no more than £150. For the exemption to apply, the event must be generally open to all and not be exclusive to a particular group. However events based on separate working locations or departments of employees are allowed if generally available to all employees within the location or department. Unless the principle of generality is achieved, then the full amount is taxable against the employees who attended. For example, an exclusively Directors event which excluded employees would not qualify for the exemption.

Employers may organise more than one annual event and all such events may qualify for relief as long as the cost per head, in any one Tax Year, does not exceed £150 in aggregate. If say, two events are held, one costing £120 per head and the second £50 per head, in total you have breached the £150 limit. In this case, the whole of the first event will fall within the £150 exemption but none of the second. If only one event is held in the year and the sum spent is more than £150 per head, then the full amount spent will become liable to Income Tax and National Insurance (NI) for both staff and employer alike. It is taxed as a benefit which could bring a nasty chill in the New Year.

When planning your event and estimating the tax implications, remember that the price per head is calculated on the total number of attendees, that is all staff, their partners and any clients, and not just employees.

Secondly, make sure you include all incidental costs.

This means adding up not just the venue hire and catering costs but all the other things, such as entertainment fees, taxi fares, overnight accommodation and VAT (whatever the VAT status of the employer). Divide the total cost of each function by the total number of people (including non-employees) who attend in order to arrive at the cost per head. If an HMRC enquiry is

launched, you will need to provide details of all the costs and attendees.

Beware of trying to apply the HMRC’s concession to ordinary staff entertaining. You need to hold an event that is clearly a formally organised function. Some employers also make the mistake of charging the party to entertainment in the accounts, then forgetting that an event worth over £150 per head must be disclosed on the P11D. There are potentially harsh penalties for incorrect completion of the forms as well as Corporation Tax implications.

It is worth remembering that although VAT on entertainment is not reclaimable, VAT on staff parties can be reclaimed, even if it exceeds £150 per head. This is an extra Christmas bonus not to be overlooked.

Turning to gifts for staff from their employer – HMRC do accept nowadays that minor gifts may be provided tax-free for employees. There is no statutory ‘de minimis’ limit, so care is needed. For instance an employer may provide employees with a seasonal gift, such as a turkey, an ordinary bottle of wine or a box of chocolates at Christmas. All of these gifts are considered to be trivial and are as such not taxable. Where there are a large number of employees, the total cost of providing a gift to each employee may be considerable, but where the gift to each employee is a trivial benefit, this principle applies regardless of the total cost to the employer and the number of employees concerned. If the gift extends beyond the trivial, for example from a bottle or two of wine to a case, or from a turkey to a Christmas hamper, you should take advice as it is likely to be treated as a taxable benefit in kind. As a consequence, unless the cost is shown on the employee’s P11d (and the employee pays the tax accordingly) the employer will need to enter into a PAYE settlement agreement with HMRC. The employer will also have a Class 1A (or 1B) NI liability.

If the gift comprised non-cash vouchers, the Class 1A NI liability would transfer to a Class 1 NI liability, meaning both employees and employers would be liable. The cost to the employer of providing the vouchers would need to be added to the employee’s gross pay in the pay period that the vouchers were provided, to enable the calculation and deduction of Class 1 NI to be made.

Cash presents, such as Christmas bonuses or vouchers redeemable for cash will have to have tax and NI contributions paid through the PAYE system.

Finally, if you are considering making Christmas gifts to customers or clients, beware there is a £50 limit in any one Tax Year. The gift must be a business related gift, for example a calendar, clock or pen. It must clearly carry an advertisement for your business, otherwise it will be classed as entertainment expenditure and will be disallowed. www.kingstonsmith.co.uk Paul Samrah, Partner, Kingston Smith LLP, T: 01737 781546 E: psamrah@kingstonsmith.co.uk
