Editor’s LETTER

The beautiful Goldfinch photograph on our cover this month, taken by wildlife photographer David Plummer, heralds the 2014 Henfield Birdwatch Survey. This survey is almost unique in conservation terms because it is all-encompassing; with a very high number of contributors. It gives a comprehensive view of the health of our birdlife, statistics which are invaluable to conservation groups. The nice thing about Henfield’s survey is that you don’t need to be a birdwatcher, ornithologist or even a twitcher to take part - if you know your Blackbird from your Blue Tit then you are up and running! Mike Russell explains more on page 26, it’s easy to get involved and a really interesting project.

The Henfield Summer Show was a resounding success, the Common was buzzing with locals and visitors, the Show Tent was resplendent with wonderful creations and the BP Guild Beer Tent almost ran dry. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the day, the organisers were thrilled to see so many smiling faces.

We were in attendance at our BN5 stand, you may have seen the hundreds of blue Big BN5 Balloons across the showground. It was fantastic to get out of the office and meet everyone, thank you all for your positive words and for taking the time to come & tell us how much you enjoy reading BN5.

Enjoy September, and hopefully some more sunny weather!

Elaine raises over £800 cycling for HART

Just one month after a knee operation Elaine May went into serious training for the London to Brighton bike ride and raised £810 for Henfield Area Response Team (HART). Elaine completed the journey from Clapham Common to Brighton seafront (about 62 miles) in around six hours with friends. Her mother Jo Dhillon raised more than £250 from neighbours and friends at the village church, bowls club and bridge club.

“It was an amazing day,” said Elaine, as she handed the cheque to members of HART. I have never done anything like this before and actually sold my watch to buy my bike. The training in the rain and freezing weather was the hardest part - but it was worth it to see the crowds welcoming us in Brighton. HART does a vital job in the community and my friend Sandra Parsons is a responder - so she was a prime mover in getting me motivated.” HART chairman Dick Nye said: “We are inspired

by Elaine’s efforts and this money will go towards the continual training and equipping of the HART team.”

Samaritans Awareness Week The Samaritans of Horsham and Crawley have been offering emotional support for 40 years from 21 Denne Road.

To celebrate, Samaritans Awareness Week will run 29th September to 5th October. The week is being launched with a concert by Horsham Folk on the bandstand in Horsham’s Carfax, 12pm on Sunday 29 September so come along and enjoy the music and a ceilidh finale.

At the campaign’s forefront is the message that you don’t have to have suicidal thoughts to call Samaritans.

It doesn’t matter what your worry is. What concerns Samaritans is how big that worry feels for you. If the weight of something feels huge, then it is. Reluctance to burden loved ones or fear of being judged can lead to emotions being buried. It’s OK to talk to Samaritans about that growing anxiety before it turns to overwhelming despair.

But if it does, they’ll be there for that too.

At 21 Denne Road, listening volunteers come in around-the-clock. Putting their own life experiences aside, they don their metaphorical Samaritans hats and concentrate 100% on each caller. They never know who’s going to call or what they’ll talk about but they are always there so there’s no need to worry about waking them up! For those seeking face-to-face support, they’re open most days between 9am and

The Vintage Wedding Fair being held in the Garden Room and Garden at Henfield Hall on 22nd September this year is aimed at giving local businesses a good value event at which to show their products or services to prospective brides and grooms. West Sussex Party Marquees will be putting one of their Capri party marquees in the pretty garden which will be used for some exhibitors and there will be refreshments available throughout the day.

Most businesses have a budget for marketing and advertising and with tables starting at just £40 this is a great opportunity stretch the budget a bit further. All exhibitors will have a link from our website to theirs as well as on our Facebook page, and entry in the Fair Guidebook as well as a permission based list of brides who attended. If you’ve never exhibited at a wedding fair before don’t worry, it’s all very friendly and I have some great tips to help you!

For information on exhibiting at the fair please contact Kim Stewart on 07899 664070 kim@wedfairs.co.uk.

Brides and grooms can register for free entry (£3 on the door) and their free goody bag at www.wedfairs.co.uk.

News | SEPTEMBER 2013 Henfield Cricket Club ‘Big Bash’ Henfield Cricket Club held its annual Colts six-hitting contest on a glorious Friday evening in late July. Conceived and christened as ‘The Big Bash’ a couple of years ago the event has grown in popularity. This year saw a huge turnout of young cricketers eager to take on the clubs bowling machine and each other in a sixhitting competition.

The evening began with an u8s tournament. The little ones were trying to hit tennis balls over a boundary set about 20 meters from the bat. New to this format, they soon got in the swing and Felix Garmston Newman was crowned the u8s first ever champion. In the under 10s Josh Cridland hit some very big shots on the way to winning his event before the action switched to hard ball and all the protective kit associated with the game for the u12s. The boundaries were pushed back several meters and Jordan Smith and Ed McLoughlin came through a qualifying and then knock-out rounds to contest a final. Ed went first and smacked two enormous sixes and whilst Jordan scored several fours, he couldn’t find one to clear the rope so Ed was crowned the champion.

In the u14s and 15s event it was a similar result - plenty of spectacular hitting over a near full-length boundary on the way to the final. But in a nervy contest to find a winner Matt Dale’s single blow straight in to the woods was one too many for last year’s winner Robbie Woodward. Robbie smashed more fours than Matt but not the six that counted so Matt was crowned this

year’s champion.

The climax of the evening was an u18s event. Tom Paine and George Stewart have both had plenty of experience against the machine and had already performed well in the senior event earlier in the summer.

Inattentive spectators, parked cars and the pavilion were all in equal danger during their final. George hit three sixes from his six deliveries, but Tom’s last ball sailed down on to the football pitch area for a fourth and winning six.

It was a great competition and spectacle for players and supporters alike. Look out for next year’s competitions: seniors in mid-June and the juniors just before the schools holidays begin. Spectators are always welcome on the Common at what is a unique and fun way to enjoy cricket.

Manager Donna Angood said, ”Thanks to the support of Steve and his team at Braziers we have been able to buy brand new kit and their continued support is very much appreciated by the coaching staff, players and parents. We are delighted to be sponsored by a local business and recommend that our parents use Braziers for their motoring needs”.

Head coach Darren Angood added, “The team at Braziers have offered great support to the team, attending matches when they can and always keeping abreast of how the team are doing. We were very proud to carry the name of Braziers throughout Sussex last season and during our highly successful tournament campaigns. The team which enters the mid Sussex Sunday League for this season look forward to the new season and express their thanks for all of their support.”

Albourne Village Show The Albourne Village Show will be held on Saturday 7 September from 1-4pm. The Show has been described as “reminiscent of childhood village fetes” with a flower show, baking competitions, home-made jams and wines, apple pressing, crafts, tombolas, children’s games.

This year we are expecting even more magnificent vintage vehicles to steam into the village - from a giant steam roller to small working engines. Vintage vehicles will also be on display. Our very popular Fun Dog Show will be taking place throughout the afternoon.

Come and watch apples being scratted (crushed) in the ‘shark’ and then pressed in our new hydraulic press. You are welcome to bring your own apples to the show and for a small fee they will be turned into juice for you to take home or you can donate any unwanted apples to be pressed and sold to help raise funds for future shows. As well as the apple pressing you will also be able to buy apple products.

Henfield cyclists raise £3,000 for cancer charity with 100mile ride

Two Henfield cyclists completed a 100-mile ride on Sunday to raise more than £3,000 for CLIC Sargent, the children’s cancer charity.

Tracey Prescott said: “We did a lot of training and it was brilliant on the day but we were overwhelmed by the support of other riders, spectators and sponsors in Henfield.” Adrian Hillman, who is a director of Rushfields Plant Centre at Poynings, said: “It was a hell of ride and very exhausting but we were encouraged by the tremendous support from others taking part and our sponsors.”

Their ride started (at 7.45am) from Queen Elizabeth

Olympic Park, London, past the Tower of London, through Chiswick and then through villages around Dorking and Leatherhead in Surrey before returning via Kingston and Wimbledon to The Mall. “We have to thank everyone for their support, and the excellent organisation,” said Adrian. “CLIC Sargent is such a worthwhile charity and we are totally committed to its aims.”

Gyles Culver, landlord of The White Hart, Henfield, which hosted the celebration on Sunday evening, said: “I am full of admiration for Tracey and Adrian.

They have been brilliant in their dedication to this gruelling event. They deserve every plaudit for their efforts and the great reception they received on Sunday evening was totally justified for this great charity.”

KEEN to get connected On 5 June Henfield Action for Older People, in conjunction with the Henfield Hub, held a meeting at the Henfield Hall with the aim of giving older people an idea of what computers can do and encouraging them to have a go.

What came out at the meeting is that many older people already know what computers can do and they are only too aware that they are missing out. Older people have come to feel a real sense of being ‘outsiders’ in a world that everyone belongs to but them. And some

are desperate to be given an opportunity to gain the benefits from being computer literate.

It was clear by the end of the meeting that there is a real need for some kind of suitable ongoing help for this age group. As a result we have made a start by setting up and running a couple of workshops for beginners. We plan to run more in the autumn, both for beginners and for those who have had some experience. So if you would like to start learning about computers or have some skills, please get in touch.

However, and crucially, in order to really help older people gain computer skills we badly need volunteers: many people will only really make progress, after attending the workshops, if they can then have ongoing one-to-one help. So, if you are reasonably computercompetent and would be willing to offer support to an older person, please also get in touch. To take part in a computer workshop, or to help an older person gain computer skills, call Alison Vine on 01273 492620.

Summer Fun from the Community Church

On Sunday July 14th the Kings Field adjacent to the Youth Club in Deer Park was buzzing with laughter and excitement as the Community Church Henfield put on their annual Summer Party for the local community. The event was free to all who came including a hog roast beautifully cooked by Pat and Rosemary Beard and later in the afternoon cream teas, all served by members of the Community Church. There was lots of fun and laughter from all age groups as everyone enjoyed the afternoon’s entertainment, accompanied by two sets from talented musicians Seeker (Jen and her husband Adam) from Brighton. The duo played a blend of soul, pop and jazz adding to the lovely atmosphere.

There were activities to keep all the family occupied including an inflatable assault course, adventure castle, gladiator jousting, face painting and other games.

A rather outsized inflatable ball added greatly to the amusement and kept “ kids” of all ages occupied! If you were unfortunate enough to miss it this year make sure you keep your diary free for 2014! If you would like to know more about the Community Church Henfield visit us at www.communitychurchhenfield.org or call 07548 850828.

Thank you from HART Henfield Area Response Team (HART) would like to thank Harvey Sykes from The Tree Works who donated the £53 takings from his wood chopping stand at the village Fayre to the charity. Another thank you goes to the Quilting Group who donated a beautiful handmade quilt with hearts on it which raised £140.

Henfield Self Help Group Outing What a lovely day we all had on Thursday 18 July. After coffee in the Henfield Hall, all the members of the Self Help Group went by coach to Littlehampton and had a sumptuous meal of fish and chips and tasty apple pie with ice cream in a restaurant overlooking the river and boats. We then had a stroll along the promenade, enjoying the summer sunshine. The members who could not walk were pushed in wheelchairs by the helpers. Thanks to all the helpers, especially Maureen Dexter and Maureen Michie. Without their support and help we would not have enjoyed such a happy and wonderful day.

Anyone arriving at the Hall and seeing scaffolding all around the roof might be thinking that a lot of money is being spent and wondering if this will increase their rates. Well the answer is no, it will not, because the Hall is run by a Charitable Trust consisting of representatives from all the regular local organisations who use the Hall plus six elected members. The Trust owns the Hall and the ground it is built on, and is totally selfsufficient financially, apart from a few bequests and occasional grants.

The Hall was opened in November 1974, and will therefore be forty years old next year. There has been some water leakage recently and consequently we have the huge cost of installing a new, slightly pitched, roof over the Whittome Hall and stage area.

Other areas of roof will also need replacing very soon.

The total cost of the work being carried out now is in excess of £60,000, which we are very fortunate to have available in the funds. But future work may have to be supported by any grants we can get or somehow raising more money.

Your support and patience would be greatly appreciated while the work is in progress, as we intend to keep the Hall available for the next forty years. It is too valuable an asset to our village to let it deteriorate, and we must carry on the good work started by the small team who, about forty-five years ago, had the vision of our very own Hall.

Operation Christmas Child

23 years ago a group of people got together to send a simple gift filled shoebox to children affected by the Chernobyl Disaster. The Shoebox Appeal has since then gone from strength to strength bringing Christmas joy to many children who are victims of poverty, war, persecution, famine, disease and natural disaster.

Last year over nine thousand shoeboxes were wrapped and packed with gifts and sent by people here in the south from centres at Horsham & Redhill, to disadvantaged children in Eastern Europe. These shoeboxes contained small gifts like soap, which is often too expensive for them to buy. You too can be part of this project by obtaining a leaflet and following these few simple steps: 1. Find a medium size shoebox, 2. Wrap the lid and box in brightly coloured gift wrap, 3. Fill it with small items, eg - soap, flannels, toothbrush/paste, comb, biros, pencils, notepads, coloured crayons, small soft toy, car, puzzle, tennis ball, game or skipping rope, hat, gloves, scarf, sweets with April 2014 sell by date (no chocolate please) 4. Add a donation to cover transport, 5. Deliver to a drop-off point details of which can be found on our website .

Towers Ten During the course of the last decade The Towers Convent School in Upper Beeding has seen many exciting events. From its Centenary celebrations in 2003 to the opening of a new building in 2006 and then almost every year since then there has been change which has created the popular and successful school it is today.

But the celebrations and activities leading up to the retirement of Headmistress Mrs Carole Baker surpassed all previous events. Mrs Baker’s tenth and final year began with the opening of a new building to house the two Year 5 classes. Then later in the year came the planning for the Solstice weekend. The aim was to try to raise £10,000 to share between Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Nurses with any surplus going to

the Worthing Scanner Appeal. To date the weekend has raised over £26,000 and a cheque for £15,000 has been sent to the Friends of Worthing Hospital.

Then three weeks later Mrs Baker began her final week with lots of surprises including a huge banner declaring ‘A decade of devotion and dedication’, two hundred metres of bunting with each pennant embroidered or decorated by each pupil or member of staff, various parties, a whole school picnic followed by a Performing Arts afternoon. True to type Mrs Baker persuaded a group of staff and Sisters to form a group called ‘Wrong Direction’ to enter as surprise guitar act’! The highlight of the week was Mass celebrated by Bishop Kieran Conry and six other Priests and Deacons of the diocese.

Mrs Baker has been made an honorary member of ISA for her services to the Independent Schools Association and leaves behind her a thriving school with superb facilities. She intends to continue with school inspections but also to devote more time to her delightful granddaughter, Olivia. From September 2013 The Towers will be secure in the hand of Mrs Clare Trelfa who is moving from her post as Deputy Head of the Marist School, Ascot.

Henfield Hub wins award Henfield Hub, the village’s community website launched last year, has won a top award: the Action for Market Towns ‘Towns Alive Award’ for the south in the social and community category. The website project now goes forward into the national finals to find an overall winner to be announced in November.

“This is a very exciting development,” said editor-in-chief Digby Stephenson. “This is down to a lot of hard work by the team.” Henfield Hub project leader Steve Bailey said: “The award is tremendous recognition for the many people who have helped to make the website possible.”

As part of the project, funded initially by the County Council, older residents are offered free computers and free instruction in their use to get them ‘connected’.

Tony Jackson, chairman of Henfield Community Partnership - who instigated the project - said: “We are are very proud of the Henfield Hub and it is constantly developing as a useful information and news resource for the village and for visitors.” County Councillor Lionel Barnard said: “The Hub has certainly proved to be a winner and congratulations are due to the Hub team and the Community Partnership.”

Henfield Club remembers Bob with cheque for HART

Henfield Club members honoured village character Bob Baldey, who died last month aged 74, by collecting more than £150 for HART (Henfield Area Response Team). His widow Pauline and friends Brian and Kathy Long handed over the cheque at a meeting of the BP Guild at the club on Thursday.

“We are very grateful to HART, who attended Bob several times,” said Pauline. “They are a very dedicated group of volunteers who play such an important role in saving lives in the village.”

She and Bob, a keen fisherman, were Henfield bornand-bred. Henfield Club president David Page said: “The members felt this was a fitting tribute to a much-loved club member.” HART chairman Dick Nye said: “We are very grateful to all the members of the club who made this generous donation possible in memory of Bob.”

Henfield Parish Council news

A Neighbourhood Plan is a community-led framework for guiding the future development, regeneration and conservation of an area and is the “flagship” of the Governments Localism provisions. Henfield Parish Council has now submitted its application for Henfield Parish in its entirety to be designated as the area for the proposed local Neighbourhood Plan. Discussions took place with the adjoining Parish Councils of Shermanbury and Woodmancote to see if those Parishes wished to be included within the Plan area, but after consideration both feel it would be more appropriate for them to pursue their own Plans. As the village of Small Dole is split between Henfield and Upper Beeding Parishes, the respective Councils discussed how this communities needs within a Plan could best be met. It was agreed that whilst Henfield Parish Plan area would include those parts of Small Dole in Henfield Parish and the Upper Beeding Plan would include the rest of Small Dole, both Plans would seek to present a similar approach to all of Small Dole. As Horsham Council has to now formally advertise and consult on this application it is unlikely a decision as to the area of the Plan will be known until October.

However, the Steering Group overseeing production of the Plan is now able to move forward in finding out

SHOP ONLINE @ BAY TREE TRADING Jen Allmond is a Henfield design entrepreneur whose flair for interior magic began with a passion for floristry that included an ‘outstanding achievement’ award which led to a Chelsea Flower Show appearance. She launched Bay Tree Trading, an interiors and accessories business that caters for the bespoke requirements of discerning home owners - and now offers a complete service on-line.

“My plan was to provide beautiful and useful furnishings to enhance any home,” says Jen, whose shop is in the delightfully quaint Caudle Street. Now, demand has inspired her to create a new web service for those looking for a gift, an enhancing treat for themselves or simply searching for creative home insight.

Bay Tree Trading has something for everyone – from umbrellas to armchairs and mirrors to mannequins. Bay Tree Trading can take old furniture and rejuvenate it – providing a new look for a careworn item, making a beaten-up old chair look chic. “Giving furniture that could be thrown out a new lease of life is so rewarding,” says Jen. Her distinguished record in floristry included an appearance at Chelsea Flower Show with flower arrangements after she qualified with distinction as a City and Guilds student with ‘outstanding achievement’ to her name. She also has a diploma in interior design from the Interior Design Institute in Covent Garden, London.

She stocks a wide range of artificial blooms that have the appearance of real flowers. “Artificial flowers are completely different these days,” says Jen. “They are now incredibly realistic and made from materials that give a feel of the real thing.”

“I am happy to visit a home and give advice in Sussex,” says Jen. “Or you can visit our website and get some ideas before visiting the shop or ordering online.” Bay Tree Trading on 01273 492160 or visit www. baytreetrading.co.uk Mike Beardall

ack in 1998 I remember saying to Val Bentley “Wouldn’t it be great if…” Now, 15 years on, Henfield Birdwatch is now looking forward to embarking on our fourth year-long survey of the birds to be found in the parish of Henfield.

HENFIELD BIRDWATCH READY TO FLY AGAIN

Henfield Birdwatch was set up back in the last year of the last century as a community project to: get people engaged to learn about and enjoy the birds that can be found in the parish; monitor how they are doing; encourage them to take part in surveying and recording; and use the data to measure the environmental health every five years. Our books publishing the result of the surveys have drawn acclaim way beyond the boundaries of the parish. Our 2010 edition won the prestigious Marsh Award from the British Trust for Ornithology for its innovation, but in particular because of the widespread community engagement that Henfield Birdwatch has engendered. A cheque for £1,000 that accompanied the award has come in very handy as well to help finance our 2015 book.

Many of the people who took part in the original survey back in 1999 are eagerly anticipating doing it all again next year, but we are also very keen to get new people involved: what can be nicer than just spending one hour a week watching and counting birds in your garden!

That is what we ask people to do: spend an hour a week throughout the year and then submit the highest number of each species you see at any one time during that period. This doesn’t mean you can’t go on holiday at all in the year, or spend time away. It is important that even if you only see one bird, you

still send that record in - there will be other opportunities to submit your sightings as well. We want to hear about what you see when you are around and about Henfield and there will be opportunities to join the monthly walks that take place every month throughout the parish during the year.

What marks the Henfield Birdwatch out from other community wildlife schemes is that it involves people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t class themselves as birdwatchers but who like to see and are interested in the birds that come into their garden or that they see around the parish.

You may think you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know enough about birds to take part but you would be wrong! We can help you with identifying some birds you are not sure of and every record is important, no matter how common the bird is. The three previous surveys have shown that the results are very much in line with national bird surveys undertaken through the BTO and RSPB and the data produce is undoubtedly scientifically valid.

So, what can we expect to see in the 2014 survey? In the previous surveys the starling has been the most common bird in terms of actual numbers but hides the fact that since 1999, the population has declined by over 25%, which means that if it continues at that rate, starlings will become extinct in the parish by the time we do the survey in 1929. Starlings were the most numerous species but blackbirds have been the most widespread, registering 100% across all the gardens taking part.

The previous surveys have reflected national and regional trends in bird populations and what has been of particular concern in the south-east of England has

01273 494002

been the decline in numbers of our summer visitors.

Familiar birds such as swallows and house martins become scarcer each year, while three pairs of breeding swifts just hang on in the Village High Street. Turtle doves, spotted flycatchers and cuckoos are also in steep decline while garden and willow warblers have virtually disappeared already.

But it is not all bad news. Great spotted woodpeckers are doing well, goldfinch numbers have picked up considerably, while buzzards are now a very familiar sight over the skies of Henfield. Some exciting birds always turn up during the survey year, such as a garganey. And it is always special to see species such as waxwing in winter.

Seeing rare and unusual birds always gives you a thrill, but knowing how the more common resident and migrant species are doing is a far greater measure of the health of the birds in the parish. I hope you will join us in 2014 and help us do just that - you will be very welcome.

To find out more about how you can take part in the survey, come along to the Garden Room, Henfield Hall on Thursday 31 October at 7.30pm. Information will also be available on our website www.henfieldbirdwatch. co.uk If you would like to become a member of Henfield Birdwatch, please contact Nigel and Debbie Colgate by e-mail at Debbie.colgate037@btinternet.com or call 01273 493037.

mma has asked me to say a few words about how I thought the Summer Show went. Well I thought it was a fantastic day, but then I would say that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I! But seriously, the thing that struck me throughout the afternoon was what a great day it was for our village to see so many people, young and old thoroughly enjoying themselves on our Common.

The weather could not have been more perfect, having dropped a few degrees to enable us all to be more comfortable. This made all the hard work put in by all those involved in the event so worthwhile.

We started preparation work on the Show last summer and the physical hard work started on the Common on Thursday evening, continued throughout Friday and finished by 8pm on the day of the Show when everything was cleared off the Common. I know how tired I felt and I could see I was not alone. I would like to thank all those who helped to make the day such a success. I do know it gets harder every time we put on this Show, therefore we must have new blood to enable this joyful event to continue in 2015. I am willing to take names for help now and remind you nearer the time.

North West Sussex Seagulls N

orth West Sussex Seagulls was formed in July 2011 by long time Brighton & Hove Albion fans Andy Stonestreet and Paul Chandler with the main objective being to transport Brighton fans based in the Horsham area to the club’s new home in Falmer at an affordable cost. The American Express Community Stadium has proved to be a big draw and after further expansion since originally opening, it now has over 23,000 season ticket holders, many of whom live in the Horsham district. With a stadium capacity of 30,000 the supporters club has seen demand for its coach seats grow over the last two seasons and now runs two coaches to all Albion home league and cup matches. Some coach seats are still available on a limited ad-hoc basis but regular match goers should consider buying a coach season ticket as this is certainly the most economical way to travel. Concessions are available for under 16’s and over 60’s.

NWSS is an independent supporters club run entirely by unpaid volunteers who organise their own low cost match day transport using Horsham-based Arun Coaches. It is a club run by fans, for the fans and has a membership totalling more than 250 including some of the youngest and oldest of Albion fans. The club is a non-profit making organisation and as a consequence can offer transport to the Amex from as little as £4 return.

Brighton & Hove Albion adopted a strong ‘green’ policy when they applied for planning permission to build their new stadium and have been encouraging as many fans as possible to get to and from the Amex by using environmentally sustainable public transport like buses, coaches and trains rather than polluting and clogging up Sussex roads with lots of cars.

NWSS arranges coach transport to all home matches with pick up points in Roffey, Horsham, Southwater, Billingshurst, Cowfold and Henfield. You could say that NWSS are very ‘green’ blue and white fans!

The supporters club have made various financial donations to help support local charities and organisations including Albion in the Community (AITC), a charity scheme run by Brighton & Hove Albion FC for the benefit of Sussex based people who need

help in all sorts of areas including adult education and employment. NWSS have also made a contribution to help fund the Amex Memorial Garden seating and further charitable donations have been made to HART in Henfield, Horsham Responders and the Kangaroos charity for children and young people with learning difficulties. In addition the club last season sponsored Horsham Sparrows F C under 12 girls and is set to sponsor Southwater FC under 11’s next season as part of their commitment to support local youth and sport organisations. As and when they have a surplus of funds, the club’s aim is to be able to support other worthy causes over the coming years.

North West Sussex Seagulls also hold regular well attended group meetings, forums and social events for its members. These meetings have been generously supported by Albion players, staff and board members who have often been in attendance as guest speakers for Q&A sessions. Over the last season members have got to meet Albion chief executive Paul Barber, several first team players including Craig Mackail-Smith, Liam Bridcutt and Andrea Orlandi along with former Dutch marine and goalkeeper Michel Kuipers. Recent club visits and events have included a trip to the Piglets Pantry pie factory where the delicious Amex pies are made, a Kings Brewery tour and a barbecue evening. Last year NWSS also held a Christmas meal and get-together for members and their partners at local restaurant and pub Crompton’s at The Olive Branch.

As you can see NWSS Supporters Club offer much more than just coach transport to and from the Amex Stadium. Membership is free so why not go along to one of their meetings to find out more about them?

To be kept up to date on planned meetings and events then contact NWSS to join their mailing list. NWSS can be contacted by emailing info@northwestsussexseagulls. co.uk or you can telephone founding member Andy Stonestreet on 07900 406795. Alternatively further information can be found on the club website at www.northwestsussexseagulls.co.uk. NWSS also have a Facebook page or you can tweet them on Twitter @NWSSeagulls.

INDIAN

SUMMER AT

SUSSEX PRAIRIES

W

e’re really hoping for a beautiful Indian summer this September and what better way to enjoy it than at the stunning Sussex Prairies? This is your last chance to visit the dramatic gardens of Paul and Pauline McBride before they close for the winter.

The month kicks off with the third annual Unusual Plant and Art Fair on Sunday 1 September from 11am to 5pm. This year the Fair will be hosting a record number of stalls selling wonderfully unusual plants (from across the UK, France and Belgium), garden accessories and art for the garden (as well as delicious cake and refreshments from the coffee shop of course!).

During the months of September and October the big grasses and later-flowering perennials really come into their own. Why not join Paul or Pauline on a walking tour of the garden on one of their ‘Walks on the Wildside’? The tours last for two hours and are running on several dates throughout both months.

And if you are feeling motivated to create your own mini Sussex Prairie, check-out the Prairie Style Planting Workshop on Saturday 28 September. The workshop, which will cover structure, form and colour, will inspire you to design and create borders suitable for your own garden. It also includes guidance as to which plants will work best for your space and soil type as well as refreshments and lunch with wine.

On the weekend of 14 and 15 September the beautiful borders of perennial flowers and grasses will provide the perfect backdrop to the tipee’s, totem poles and buffalo skins of the Blackfoot Lodge and Spirit of the West. You can visit them anytime between 1 pm and 5pm to find out more about the Native American way of life – a true Indian summer!

If handicrafts are more your thing, then Evolution Arts are running two creative courses using the beautiful surroundings as inspiration. On Sunday 15 September you can create two small items on the Mosaics course with Paul Yarde using recycled and left-over materials such as coloured and textured glass from stained glass. Or on Sunday 22 Wendy Ann Greenhalgh will be using meditation and creative exercise in a writing and drawing workshop, ‘Mindfulness and the art of drawing’. The textile artist Anne Kelly will also be running two garden and nature inspired textile art courses on Sunday 29 September and Sunday 6 October.

For more information about times, costs and how to book any of the courses or events visit http://sussexprairiegarden.co.uk or call 01273 495902.

ne of the many joys a garden brings is the chance to get really close to nature. What could be more wonderful than waking to the sight and sound of happy birds enjoying their breakfast just outside your window? And the good news is that encouraging wildlife to your garden is simplicity itself – just do absolutely nothing! That’s right - the less you do the better! So put down that rake, give your hedge trimmer the month off and soon your garden will be home to an enviable variety of birds and animals that will enhance your enjoyment of it throughout the year!

The trick is to be a bit slovenly. Birds don’t like manicured lawns, clipped hedges or deadheaded flowers.

Give them a bit of a jungle and they’ll definitely thank you for it. Their needs are simple. They want cover, water, food and a place to call home. In addition to predators, birds have to cope with the elements too, so the safer and cosier they feel in your garden the longer they will stay around. Begin with shelter; climbers provide excellent hiding places and a welcome respite between flits to your feeding stations. Evergreen shrubs offer year round cover and ideal nesting sites in spring. Make sure you don’t trim them until you’re sure the fledglings have left. Fruit trees are another great source of food and shelter, leave windfalls on the ground – many birds love these tasty treats so yet another reason for you to relax and give your rake a break! As your summer borders fade don’t be too hasty with the secateurs. The seed heads are not only like nectar to many small birds but also attract beneficial insects to your garden. This in turn will encourage the insect feeding birds to drop by, making it ‘win win’

01273 494002

for the gardener - you save money on bug killer and have spare time for a cup of coffee while you enjoy your colourful array of winged visitors!

The lawn is another vital source of food for many birds. Worms, leatherjackets, ants and slugs are high protein meals for insect feeding birds, not to mention hedgehogs and other wildlife. Over-vigilant mowing will remove many of these essential species so learning to love a meadow will benefit everyone!

As important as providing food and shelter is ensuring a regular supply of water. Birds need to drink and bathe so it’s vital they have a fresh supply all year round. A small pond is ideal but failing that any small container of water – as long as you keep it topped up – will suffice.

Finally, it is variety that will keep the birds coming back to your garden. Provide seeds, peanuts, fat balls, bread, fruit and, if you can bear it, live mealworms. Secure nest boxes in sheltered locations, site bird tables and feeders within two metres of cover. Leave grass clippings in piles for nest-building and keep the use of weedkillers and pesticides to a minimum. Once your wildlife garden is established it will maintain a natural balance. Piles of autumn leaves and logs lying around will encourage over-wintering insects and this is essential for increasing the number and variety of birds which visit your garden.

Sometimes being a bit lazy can really pay off and once you’ve established a welcome haven for wildlife, you’ll be handsomely rewarded as your garden comes alive with the sights and sounds of our feathered friends.

TAKING THE FIRST STEP TO FITNESS

I

f you want to take the first steps to a healthier, fitter lifestyle then Henfield Leisure Centre is the place to go. Unlike many gyms Henfield Leisure Centre is not in the slightest bit intimidating – all ages, fitness levels (and sizes!) are welcome and the team will take care of you every step of the way.

They recognise that the best way to help people with their lifestyle and fitness goals is to work alongside them. The gym induction is your first introduction and an important part of a fitness plan. Sam, one of Henfield Leisure Centre’s Level 3 qualified instructors, explains more.

“When people are not used to going to the gym it can be hard to find the courage to even make an appointment. We do our best to make sure new clients do not feel overwhelmed by the experience! We give them a step-by-step induction, explaining how to use the equipment safely and confidently, alongside an assessment of fitness levels and a programme to get them up and running. We then make sure the programme is revisited every few weeks and tweaked to keep them on track with their goals. It’s fantastic to see the changes over the weeks.”

01273 494002

Setting goals is important. People decide to get fit for lots of reasons, for general good health, to aim for an event or a challenge, to lose weight or to help give up smoking. It’s never too late to enjoy a healthier lifestyle. The team at HLC will work with you to achieve these goals, they can give you nutrition advice and arrange weight checks, setting achievable goals and making sure your exercise plan is enjoyable and varied. They will take into account your job, lifestyle, age and current levels of fitness.

The list of classes at HLC is endless and your instructor will encourage you to create a diverse plan of exercise to suit you. As well as gym work you can enjoy pilates, spin classes, circuits, Ab Attack or even yoga.

There are plenty of ways to enjoy fitness and work on the areas you want to improve – one thing they promise is that you will never be bored!

So, if you’d like to have a go but have always been worried that the gym is only for the super-fit with perfect bodies, give the guys at Henfield Leisure Centre a call, they will show you how fitness really is for EVERYONE.

ith the cost of living increasing and the easy access to credit that people enjoyed in the last decade a distant memory, it’s no surprise that people are looking for ways to boost their spending power.

It is an environment like this where the unscrupulous prey on the vulnerable and use people’s concerns to con them out of their savings. The latest I’ve come across is ‘pension release’.

What could be wrong with something as positive sounding as ‘pension release’ or even ‘pension liberation’? Schemes that promise to give you access to your ‘hard earned pension’ that the big bad insurers won’t let you access are increasingly common. The literature states how their scheme allows you to access your pension before the standard minimum age of 55 and promises more than the maximum 25% lump sum you can usually take. There are many ways they promise to do this, perhaps involving a loan, moving the fund overseas or investing in a particular asset that utilises a ‘legal loophole’ to give you the access Technically they are correct, in as much as you, the individual taking part in the pension liberation scheme, you require. do not commit a criminal act. However, what they don’t tell you is the payments they make are ‘unauthorised payments’ and as such subject to a charge of 55%. Where you do end up committing a criminal act is if you fail to notify HMRC that you have taken an unauthorised payment.

Then in addition to the unauthorised payment charge there can be further penalties applied by HMRC for failing to disclose. But how will you ever get caught?

Quite simply when the companies offering these schemes are identified, the regulators ask insurers and pension providers for a list of any transfers to that company and they then track you down.

In addition to the 55% charge you must pay HMRC, the company offering the scheme make a charge, typically in excess of 20%. All this leaves you with around a quarter of the true value of your pension fund and potentially, a criminal record.

If you are offered such a scheme check the ‘adviser’ is authorised and regulated by the FCA. Don’t just take their word for it, check directly with the FCA, either by phone or on their website that they are actually authorised. As always, if something sounds too good to be true it probably is.

Employment Law Update

2

013 has been a busy year for changes in employment legislation and the changes will keep on coming.

Unlike previous years where employment legislation changes have been introduced at the beginning of April and the beginning of October, we have seen new legislation introduced throughout the year.

held, before the termination of the employment in question, with a view to it being terminated on terms agreed between the employer and the employee”.

If however the dismissal for a reason that would be automatically unfair, or for some form of discrimination then the conversation could be admissable in an Employment Tribunal. As part of this change, Compromise Agreements are to be renamed Settlement Agreements.

September will see the introduction of a highly controversial piece of legislation with the advent of employee shareholder contracts. Employers will be able to offer a new type of contract where an employee can be offered shares in a business in return for waiving some employment rights such as the right to claim unfair dismissal, to claim statutory redundancy pay, make a request for flexible working or request time off for training. The shares offered can be worth between £2,000 and £50,000 with a Capital Gains Tax exemption. Queries remain as to how shares should be valued if the company is not listed, but also employees offered such contracts must seek legal advice (with the employer contributing) and so it is questionable as to how many companies will take up this type of contract. Certainly there is no perception that large established businesses will do so.

In October the National Minimum Wage will increase from £6.19 per hour to £6.31 per hour. Rates for workers under 21 and apprentices are also increasing at this time. This month will also see the end of the Third Party Harassment rules under the Equality Act. These rules provide that the employer will, in certain circumstances, be liable where an individual is harassed by a third party, normally a supplier or customer. Employees will still have some harassment protection under the Health & Safety at Work regulations, where employers must provide a safe working environment.

It is also expected that the proposed changes to TUPE Regulations will come into force in October with the major changes being the scrapping of the “Service Change Provision” rules. These provisions were introduced in 2006 and extended the reach of TUPE to all contracting in and contracting out situations in return for providing increased legal certainty. However they have generated many cases without the expected certainty. Other changes expected relate to the ability to harmonise contracts after a transfer, though there are limits on what can be achieved.

Looking further ahead, 2014 will see the extension of the right to request flexible working for all workers, not just those with young children or dependent adults - so the pace of change does not seem likely to reduce.

In March the right to unpaid parental leave up to a child’s 5th birthday was increased from 13 to 18 weeks to bring the UK into line with EU Legislation at the last possible moment. This is part of a series of family-friendly changes which will see a further extension of the maternity/paternity rules in 2014.

April saw a reduction in the minimum time for collective consultation where 100 or more redundancies are being announced - from 90 days to 45 days – obviously this will only affect large companies. April was also the time when the levels of Statutory Maternity, Paternity and Adoption Pay were increased to £136.78 per week, whilst Statutory Sick Pay was increased to £86.70 per week.

In June changes were introduced to whistleblowing legislation meaning protection is only available for disclosures in the public interest. No longer will employees be able to use whistleblowing as a means of complaining about a breach in their own contract of employment. At the same time the phrase that a claim had to be made “in good faith” has been dropped, though judges have the power to reduce an award by 25% if they belief a claim was not made in good faith.

July saw a number of changes to Employment Tribunal processes to reduce costs and streamline the system. Already unfair dismissal cases need only be heard by a judge without the other two panel members. The change with the most impact on employees is the introduction of fees depending on the type of claim - ranging from when a person wants to make a claim of £160 or £250 to fees of £230-£950 if there is to be a formal hearing. There will be a system of remission of fees for those who cannot afford them.

Judges will also be able to award a higher level of costs. The maximum compensatory award for an unfair dismissal claim has also been capped at one year’s salary or £74,200 whichever is lower.

Also, pre-termination negotiations between an em- For further advice on this or other business issues contact ployer and an employee cannot be used as evidence Paul Samrah on: 01737 781546 or Email psamrah@ in unfair dismissal claims.
