Hello, welcome to the joint July / August Summer edition of Villages in Focus. At the time of writing the weather seems unable to decide if it is summer or autumn! I know our gardens need the rain but I hope it clears up in time for all the events going on around the area at this time of year. The ever popular Fun on the Prom event takes place on Felpham seafront on 3rd August, the same weekend as the Hotham Park fete whilst the annual Bognor Regis Kite Festival is returning to KGV in Felpham over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Whatever you are doing, I hope the weather is kind & you manage to get a break over the next few weeks.

Home‐grown champions from the past The Championships, Wimbledon is the most famous tennis event in the British sporting calendar. It was first contested in 1877 and played on outdoor grass courts at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) in the Wimbledon suburb of London, United Kingdom.

The Ladies' Singles tournament began in 1884, and the women's game has developed massively over the last century.

We are all familiar with the incredible Williams sisters, but our own Nation has a pretty impressive history in the Women's singles, which is often overlooked by the British media.

Dorothy Round Little won her first title in 1934 — the same year as her British male counterpart Fred Perry also won his first.

She won her second Wimbledon title at age 29 in 1937. A devout Christian, she often refused to play on Sundays. She published two books, Modern Lawn Tennis and Tennis For Girls. After her retirement in 1939 she worked as a coach, journalist, and president of the Worcester Lawn Tennis Club.

Florence Angela Margaret Mortimer Barrett beat another English player Christine Truman Janes to become Wimbledon's women's singles champion in 1961. She was aged 29 and partially deaf.

played the famous Billie Jean King several times but never beat her until her win at Wimbledon. Haydon-Jones was also the first left-handed female singles player to win the championship.

Virginia Wade was a maths graduate, famed for her powerful serve. She defeated Billie Jean King at the US Open, earning her first Grand Slam title. She went on to win the Australian Open in 1972, and in 1977, nearly a decade after her first victory, Wade would become Wimbledon's last British singles winner for 36 years. The year she won, defeating Dutch player Betty Stöve at Wimbledon was the Queen's Silver Jubilee and Queen Elizabeth II herself was present to enjoy her victory.

It remains to be seen whether current British number one Johanna Konta can better her semi-final performance in 2017 to add her name to the list of amazing female British tennis players who have held the Wimbledon trophy aloft.

By Tracey Anderson

Ann Haydon-Jones had already won the French Open and U.S. Open twice before winning Wimbledon in 1969. She first showed her talent as a young girl. Her father was a table tennis champion and he encouraged her competitive spirit. She

Summer delights at Pagham Harbour & Medmerry For a lot of birds the breeding the season is coming to a close and youngsters are learning how to fend for themselves. It is a time for the hardworking parents to consider their own well-being. Despite being hard wearing and being preened constantly, feathers do wear out and need replacing. Moulting is a big drain on a birds energy reserves and why many birds moult mid to late summer avoiding the breeding and migration seasons. The process can also leave the bird vulnerable particularly when replacing flight feathers, so during this time they are much less conspicuous, both in sight and sound, leaving us wondering where all the birds have gone. However, there is much more to be found in our British summer countryside…

Now is a time to marvel at the smaller creatures. Caterpillars that have been a food source for so many growing chicks have been metamorphosing into butterflies. Meadow browns flit jauntily over the grasslands and tortoiseshells sup nectar from thistle flowers. Amorous soldier beetles cover umbilifers. The larvae of red soldier beetles eat slugs and snails, while the adults feed on aphids making them very much the gardener’s friend.

All the while crickets and grasshoppers constantly chirrup in the background, reminding me of how I spent hours as a child trying to catch them. Summer is a time for families and young children to explore and discover. At RSPB Pagham we have a full program of family events throughout the summer holiday, from pond-dipping and bug hunting to seashore safaris and butterfly counts. Check out our website www.rspb.org.uk/paghamharbour or pick up an events leaflet from our Visitor Centre on the B2145 south of Chichester.

Meanwhile the three tawny owl chicks did ‘branch’ successfully and the both families of blue tits have fledged as well. However, both blue tits families had at least 4 eggs unhatched each. We believe there must have been a drop in temperature during the incubation period chilling the eggs, showing how susceptible they are to changes in weather conditions. As for the kestrels, all five eggs have hatched and the chicks are growing fast as mum and dad strive to keep up with their hungry demands. The youngsters will not fly until they are just over a month old and even then will be dependent on their parents for a further month

This month - Black-eyed Susan You might not know its name, but you are probably familiar with the Rudbeckia.

A late summer perennial daisy. It's sometimes called Coneflower or Black-eyed Susan.

Flowering from early August to late September it is a valuable addition to the late summer garden. It does particularly well in full sun in rich, well-drained soil. You can sow as annuals indoors in spring to set out after frost or plant as perennials in spring or autumn. Divide every 3 to 4 years and deadhead to avoid selfseeding, though personally I see self-seeding as a bonus trait in a plant! Mildew can be an issue on e foliage but can be avoided by not overcrowding. Watch the young foliage because slugs and snails find it tasty. Once the plants are established this isn't a problem.

Rudbeckia ‘Golden compass’ produces masses of classic bright yellow and black Rudbeckia flowers on a bushy plant. It grows up to 70cm in height and can be grown from seed as a halfhardy annual or a short-lived hardy perennial.

Rudbeckia fulgida is the classic ‘Blackeyed Susan’, with sunflower-yellow flowers and a very black central cone. It does better in damper ground than many of the varieties so choose this one if your garden is less well-drained.

I love Rudbeckia ‘Prairie glow’. It is a stunning plant and good for adding height as it grows to 1.5m. Its huge 6cm diameter flowers have warm orange petals with yellow tips.

Rudbeckia ‘Irish eyes’ is a more unusual variety with a yellowish cone & yellow florets. It repeat flowers from July to October.

If your soil is on the dry side, try Rudbeckia fulgida ‘Deamii’. It produces shining, golden flowers with jet-black cones from early September to late October and into November.

Rudbeckias naturally grow in dry savannahs, grassland prairies & in the glades of rocky forests across North America but they have become a much-loved bushy stalwart of the herbaceous border & will delight from late summer right through the autumn. Happy gardening.

Bersted Park Art Trail.

After reading Sarah Davey’s feature last month about staying at home and discovering local areas i thought it would be a great idea to feature a local walk that is accessible to all. So this month a 3km (1.8 mile) trek takes in all the wooden sculptures at Bersted Park that have been created by local chainsaw artist Simon Groves. Bersted Park is the new housing development in North Bersted and is bordered by the redirected A259, within the 26 hectare site are large areas that cannot be built on and now feature the art trail along with a trim trail, lake, sports pitches and a community centre. Arun District council are managing this area in an environmentally friendly way with fields of wild flowers. Over a two year project Berkeley Homes have funded a total of 10+ sculptures as part of their conditions for this new development. Local residents were consulted for ideas on what the sculptures should be and each piece has been expertly carved out of locally sourced sustainable oak. A trail map can be found on the Arun District Council’s website which can be printed off and shows three routes of varying lengths.

The walk starts at the Bersted Park Community Centre and to the right of the building at the edge of the car park can be found the first sculpture featuring a ‘Trail Guide’ showing the three routes. The route featured in this article is the full route marked in yellow. Follow the trail into the fields towards the second sculpture which is a tractor and bales of hay, great for children who can sit on this and imagine that they are farming the fields.

Keeping to the edge of the field continue to the lake, this small body of water has been strategically created as flood relief to this low lying area. It is connected to a number of streams and drainage ditches and ultimately links up with the Aldingbourne Rife. At the end of the lake is a carved wooden sofa where you can sit and take in the native wetland habitat, Yellow Flag Iris can be seen along the edge amongst many wild flowers and the rare water vole may even be seen. In the middle of the lake is an island that features an egrets sculpture, the white of the birds can just be seen above the bushes. The route goes round the lake and along the southern edge of the park to the trim trail, made up of various outdoor exercise apparatus this is great for those who want to further workout and burn a few extra calories. At this point a rest can be had on the dragonfly bench and whilst sitting here the orchid sculpture can be seen a little further on.

Double back and follow Barton’s lane to the entrance of the sports field where a great sculpture depicting a football boot and cricket stumps stands. From here the walk continues outside of the sports field, however an eleventh sculpture can be found on this field which is well worth taking a detour to, as the artwork is really amazing. At this point in the trail swifts can be seen circling around, some great views of the South Downs can be had and a group of three grazing sheep can be seen strategically placed in the middle of the meadow. Just past here is the WW2 Pill Box, one of thousands that were built along the south coast in 1940 which would have been manned by the home guard to hamper any enemy invasion. At the far corner of Bersted Park can be seen the waymarker pointing to key areas like Eastfield conservation area and Bersted Brooks that are also worth further exploring if you want to extend the walk. Follow the sign’s direction and head back to the community centre where the last sculpture called historic piece can be seen on the trail. A great walk for all the family to enjoy.

Lily in the Light by Kristen Fields A child going missing is every parent’s worst nightmare. And many books have been written with this as the main plot device, as the parents try to cope with events that follow. However, this debut novel approaches it from a different angle.

Esme is 11 years old and for her, ballet is life. She is on the brink of every young ballerina’s dream as she is told that she is ready to go ‘en pointe’. But this joy is snatched from her one evening as the family gather to enjoy a meal.

Suddenly, and inexplicably, Esme’s four-year-old sister Lily disappears. The family starts to fall apart, but as readers we experience this through the eyes of Esme, not her parents.

In the second half of the novel the action switches to Paris eight years later where Esme is performing as a ballerina. We learn of the intervening years. How Esme felt that she lost so much more than a sister; she lost her parents too. She has used dance to take herself away from it all. Until she receives a phone call from her older sister, on the other side of the Atlantic.

Are the family about to learn of Lily’s fate, and how will they bring themselves together, healing divisions and unspoken accusations?

County Lines ‘County Lines’ is a recent term used by Police and Partner Agencies to refer to drug networks that originate from large urban areas such as London to more rural communi es. These can be run by both gangs and organised crime groups, both of whom use children and young people and vulnerable adults to carry out illegal ac vity on their behalf.

The organised crime groups tend to use a local property, generally belonging to a vulnera‐ ble person, as a base for their ac vi es. This is known as cuckooing and will o en happen by force or coercion.

We con nue to see children being exploited by criminal gangs to supply drugs in Sussex.

We have experienced children travelling from London to our county to deal drugs on behalf of gangs, as well as Sussex children being exploited and targeted by London gangs to deal drugs locally. Our priority is to iden fy those children at risk of criminal exploita on and, once iden fied, work with partner agencies to put the appropriate safeguarding measures in place.

Spot the Signs – what to look out for *Persistently missing from school, college and o en to be found out of area *Unexplained acquisi on of money, clothes or mobile phones *Excessive receipts of texts or phone calls *Rela onships with controlling, older people or gang associa on *Leaving home or care without explana on This list is not exhaus ve, but gives a good idea of the signs to look out for. If you see the signs above, let us know. You can report online on the Sussex Police website or to 101. Together we can tackle drug crime and reduce the harm to your community.

Local History

Š S. Endacott

This summer you will be watching the various gallant people jumping from the end of the Pier for the birdman event and who will also provide us with entertainment.

One of the most iconic sights at any pier, and Bognor was no exception was the arrival of the paddle steamers that called at Bognor Pier prior to 1906 much to the delight of both the residents and visitors. However one of the major problems for these paddle steamers was the problem of ground swell and the lack of a correct landing stage. The small structure was only 60 feet by 9 feet and was certainly inadequate for such large boats as the "Brighton Queen."

In 1936 a new landing stage was opened for steamboat traffic.

Pictures of the opening of this landing stage were shown both at the Pier Theatre and the Picturedrome, For a number of years it was possible to travel the 100ft length of the pier on a variety of miniature trains. Long before the days of the Birdman Rally, the pier was an important site for the Diving and Swimming Exhibitions that were held from the 1930’s. One such was an Angus Kilmot Kinslea who was permitted to give exhibitions during the summer months. Another activity was the launching of kayaks off the side of the Pier as an additional attraction. During the summer the owner was allowed to take a collection from bystanders for his own benefit and the Pier would provide a benefit night for him.

Summer surely isn’t summer without a village fete. Part country fair, part a sale of home-grown and locally made produce, part a celebration of community, the English village fete is a social institution, barely changed since the 1920s.

The Village fete is enshrined in our literary history, from The Famous Five, to PG Wodehouse and Agatha Christie, the Village fete has provided the perfect backdrop against which to set a drama or two, and never attend any fete in Midsomer which is also attended by Inspector Barnaby!

If you want a measure of how well a village is thriving in 21 Century Britain, take a look at its summer fete. More of us are looking for a sense of community in a Britain that seems in danger of fragmenting. To that end tenth generation locals will rub shoulders st

with commuters, second homers and young families, to discuss the merits of Bert’s onions, Sharon’s Victoria Sponge, and whether young Tyler will win the talent competition with his street dance routine.

Let’s face it, where else can you buy a pot of rhubarb and ginger preserve, enter a competition to guess the weight of a cake, bounce on a bouncy castle and throw a wet sponge at the vicar…or scoutmaster…or head teacher, or all three if you’re lucky?

Village fetes are alive and well in Britain, and I for one am very happy about that. I have just moved from the town to a village and intend to enter my scones in the baked goods competition this year. I doubt I’ll win but it’s the taking part that matters. Now I wonder if there will be a murder…
