National Finals for Museum The Novium museum wins prestigious architecture award

THE NOVIUM MUSEUM in Chichester has won a prestigious architecture award. The museum won a RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Regional Award at a ceremony on Thursday night at MercedesBenz World in Surrey. The coveted award recognises the very best in architectural design. The museum, which opened in 2012, is one of 11 South East winners of a RIBA award and is now eligible to be entered into the national finals in June. It was the only building selected from West Sussex for the award.
The museum is already awardwinning having won two national prestigious architectural prizes at the Civic Trust Awards last year. Designed by Keith Williams Architects, the museum is built over the remains of a Roman bathhouse. Councillor Myles Cullen, Cabinet Member for Commercial Services at Chichester District Council, says: “The Novium is a stunning building and we are delighted at the recognition it is getting for its design. This award is tremendous news.” Cathy Hakes, The Novium Manager, says: “We are very proud of our museum. Winning a regional award from RIBA is a real achievement; we The award-winning museum has picked up another award

The Novium museum wins prestigious architecture award are thrilled to receive this level of recognition from the architectural community.” James Robinson, RIBA Regional Director, said: “There was a fantastically high standard of entry to the RIBA Awards this year and we are very lucky in the South East to have the local ambition and design talent to be able to complete buildings of this quality. From important civic and public buildings to private houses and the conservation of our valuable historic built environment – these Award-winning architects have demonstrated the value of good design as well as the transformative effect it can have on the places where we live.” The Novium tells the story of the Chichester District over the past 500,000 years. The centrepiece of the museum, are the remains of Chichester’s Roman bath house. This has been uncovered for the public to see for the first time and dominate the ground floor of the museum. Since the baths were first excavated in the 1970s they have lain preserved under a car park, until the museum could be purposely built over the top.
Market grows to seven!
THE SEVENTH Garden Market in Chichester took place this weekend, with garden stalls lining North and East Streets. With more than 50 market stalls offering a wide range of top quality garden plants, furniture, services and accessories, visitors took to the streets in spite of the changeable weather. Gloria Robinson, CCCP Board member and Tawny Nurseries stall holder, said: “This is always a great market! We’re based down
in Birdham, so it’s a chance for me to meet my Chichester customers and I do see familiar faces each year.
It’s also lovely to see all
the plants and flowers in the City Centre. In spite of its beauty, our City can sometimes look a little grey, so this event adds colour to our streets!” The dates are already set for 2015, when Chichester Garden Show will take place over the weekend of the 8-10 May.
£400,000 bonus to communities in the Chichester District LOCAL PROJECTS are being given a helping hand by Chichester District Council. The council is offering £400,000 New Homes Bonus funding to support a range of community projects. The New Homes Bonus Fund uses money the council receives from the government as new homes are created in the district. This ‘bonus’ is based on the number of properties added to the council tax base each year, including new builds and empty properties being brought back into use. Last year one of the successful applicants was Westhampnett Parish Council which received £23,100 for a new community hall and volunteer project.
Other awards were made to Bury Parish Council which was awarded £3,130 towards an extension on the village hall and £15,000 towards new play equipment at Loxwood. Councillor Tony Dignum, Cabinet Member for Finance at Chichester District Council, says: “This is a great opportunity to support local community projects across Chichester District in a way which has a direct impact on people’s lives. The projects will be submitted by parish councils on behalf of, and with the support of, their residents and will help improve the health and wellbeing of the entire community. “This funding offers a unique opportunity to invest in important facilities and activities that will

support our local communities for years to come.” Communities that have taken more than 20 new homes include: Birdham, Boxgrove, Chidham and Hambrook, Fishbourne, Funtington, Petworth, Westbourne and Westhampnett. Chichester City has taken 43% of all new homes in the district. Many other parishes have seen varying levels of development, and will also be able to highlight projects that would bring benefit to their communities. The next deadline for funding applications is Friday 25 July. If residents have ideas for how this funding could be spent, they should contact their local parish, town or city council.
The villages of Lavant (Mid, East and West) and East Dean were served by a station on the railway line that ran between Chichester and Midhurst, but this closed in stages between 1931 and 1991
Well known in the area for providing a high level of care, Westhampnett House is set on 3.5 acres of West Sussex's finest parkland, on the outskirts of the historic city of Chichester. Boasting its own listed Dovecote, Pond, Apple Orchard, and Stunning Gardens, the handsome Grade II listed Georgian building together with later additions provide an idyllic setting for the nursing and recovery of the 32 residents that our Home caters for. We promise good, warm, old-fashioned care and hospitality. Come and visit us, to experience this. We offer: Full Nursing Care, Respite & Short Stays.

SHANKLY The legendary Liverpool manager said “Some people think football is a matter of life and death. It’s not. It’s a damn site more important than that.” EURO ELECTIONS A local newspaper called the West Sussex News comes through our door with four pages of news. The headline, in Daily Mail font, has a report about Nigel Farage costing 420,000 jobs, and other similar “stories”. Turns out it’s a pretend newspaper, published by the Lib Dems. Are they allowed to do that? Suppose I was stupid? SCIENCE FICTION NEWS The TV news says that the giant Pfizer is set to take control of AstraZeneca. When did big companies decide to give themselves Star Wars names? SLEEP An Oxford Prof and a Harvard Prof say we are ”arrogant” about deciding not to get enough sleep, and that it’s linked
RECIPES FOR NEWSPAPERS Before Christmas I bet I’d eat a copy of the Chichester Herald if Man Utd didn’t win the Premiership. I’m on the lookout for a good recipe. If I get stomach ache I can always blame David Moyes. CHICHESTER’S GREATEST FOOTBALLER The great Bill Shankly built a world beating Liverpool team in the sixties full of powerful Scots Welsh and Irish; St John, Ron Yeats, Tommy Smith. And a bloke from Chichester. Not a lot of people know that. He was permanent 12th man. I always wondered how he got spotted, and where he ended up. Maybe Roy Hodgson came looking for him.
THE BBC We’re all fed up with Education being flipped back and forth every time there’s an election or a change of Secretary Of State. Education should be de-politicised and made a Public Corporation like the BBC. By the way, this week I came across something new to me: someone with a bad word to say about Winston Churchill. The man who invented the BBC, Lord Reith, called him a dreadful man, who he hated. Reith added that any number of men could have done a better job.
TV NEWS The afternoon TV news described a serious road crash this week as “Breaking news”. They have to be careful when they verbally describe a crash as breaking news, because some people could misunderstand.
SPOT THE CHURCHILL GAGS a) “I’m on the Whisky diet. I’ve already lost three days”. b) To a woman who said to him “If you were my husband Churchill I’d put poison in your tea” he replied “If you were my wife I’d drink it.”
MISUNDERSTANDINGS When Winston Churchill was slowly dying the TV news came on every hour to report his state of decline. One of my younger brothers grew increasingly distraught. In the end he was in tears. I tried to comfort him and he sobbed “No wonder Churchill is going to die they keep putting a bullet in him every hour.” He had never heard the word bulletin.

Spate of vehicle crime at beauty spots in Chichester district
Local beauty spot car parks have been targeted by thieves
POLICE are advising drivers to secure their cars and not to leave property in them after more than 20 vehicles were broken into at beauty spots in the Chichester district. The spate of break-ins happened

Petworth, Graffham, Chilgrove and Duncton were all targeted with various property stolen from them. PSCO Lisa Shadbolt said: “We are urging drivers to lock their vehicles and remove any property from them at all time or leave it at home. “Simply hiding valuables under the seat or the boot is not enough. We also need people to report any suspicious activity in these areas to police.” Anyone with any information about these crimes is asked to call 101 or email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 1561 of 03/05.

thousands of pounds in cash. The robber than ran off in the direction of Croft Road. No one was hurt. Police sealed off the area and a helicopter was called in to help search for the suspect, who may have had an accomplice or accomplices. Officers also carried out houseto-house enquiries in the immediate vicinity and alerted neighbouring Hampshire Police to the incident.

More than 30 new Specials to help police their local communities
THIRTY FIVE volunteers, who have successfully completed more than six months of training, will become warranted police officers at an ‘Attestation’ ceremony, held at Sussex Police headquarters on Friday (9 May) evening. Attestation is a process by which a newly appointed recruit to Sussex Police becomes a Special Constable with all the powers and
responsibilities which that entails. The evening ceremony will see all 35 officers make a declaration in the presence of a Magistrate, before receiving their warrant cards. Sixteen of the new recruits will be based in West Sussex whilst the rest will be to the east of the region.They are from all walks of life and include 37-year-old Tomasz Domanski, a Mechanical Design Engineer, originally from Poland. When asked
about how he feels about becoming a warranted officer Tomasz said: “I wanted to become a Special because helping others makes me feel good about myself, although I appreciate that may sound a little selfish. Being a father of two young children, I think that helping and protecting others is what I’m naturally programmed to do. “As an immigrant I do not have historic connections to the village I live in, in the same way some of my colleagues do. But I know that the more I have contact with the local community the more I will feel responsible for helping to keep them safe. I’ve already noticed that since my training I tend to take note of more unusual situations around me. Taking the oath and receiving my warrant card on Friday will make it all more official and take it to the next level.” Suzanne Stevens, a 42-year-old Compliance Manager for Arriva London and parent of one, said the following about becoming a Special Constable: “This is something I have wanted to do for a long time. Both my dad and brother work for the Metropolitan Police Service and so I have grown up having a keen interest in the police. When I applied for
the job last September, I felt that it was the right time to be able to use some of my life experiences working within local communities to support the regular officers in reducing crime and making Sussex a safer place for people to live and visit. “Some people have questioned why I want to volunteer for a job where I could face dangerous situations. My answer to this is that we can’t go around hiding away from the bad things that are happening around us. The more people that are willing to volunteer a small amount of their time and provide more police visibility within our local communities, the more we can make a difference. Seeing elderly and young people feel safe walking and playing in their communities will be very rewarding for me. Personally, I love a challenge and enjoy the variety of work so am keen to get started.” Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner, Katy Bourne, who will be speaking at the Attestation evening and launched the Special’s recruitment campaign in 2013 said: “I am looking forward to the Attestation evening as I’ve had the pleasure of observing this particular cohort in various stages of their training.
“All 35 new recruits should be very proud to have successfully managed to get this far in what is a rigorous training programme.” Assistant Chief Constable Robin Smith, said: “Special constables are an integral part of our policing family. Across Sussex 403 people currently give their time to this role, working alongside our teams to keep people safe and cut crime. It is always humbling to meet people who give their time so generously to benefit the local community and I am looking forward to meeting the new recruits on Friday to say thank you and welcome them to our team.” Mrs Bourne continued: “Special constables have been involved in policing Sussex since 1831 and are an integral part of policing in the modern world. I am a huge advocate of the benefits of volunteering and helping to make a difference in your local community. That is why I launched the recruitment campaign back in August in order to increase the number of special constables serving in Sussex to 450 by 2015.

University unites against homophobia and transphobia in sport
University LGBT officer Shaun O’Brien (right) with Chichester students
A PLEDGE to tackle homophobia and transphobia in sport has been signed by students and staff from the
University of Chichester. More than 100 people from the institution met this week to sign the Sports Charter, which aims to combat discrimination in games by supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and transgender athletes. The bill, introduced by the government in 2011, has already been backed by a number a major sporting bodies - including the Football Association, English Cricket Board, British Tennis Membership, as well as the Rugby Football League and Union. Shaun O’Brien, LGBT student
Lec F1 car to break 35year lay-off at Goodwood
officer at the University, said: “The Sports Charter shines a welcome light on a long-standing taboo, and has the potential to act as a much-needed catalyst to encourage people to address homophobia and transphobia. “It is similar to the recent marriage bill – not everyone wants to get married, but they now can if they choose, while some people want to play sport but feel unable because they are gay, so this will protect them in the future.” The Charter promotes fairness, equality, respect and dignity by
encouraging people of different sexual orientation and backgrounds to participate in sport. It is also committed to working with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups to rid games of homophobia and transphobia, while ensuring those taking part challenge unacceptable behaviour. The University’s pledge to the Charter is part of a long history of promoting gay rights which started with former chair of governors Lord John Wolfenden, whose recommendations to the government in 1957 led to the legalisation of
homosexuality throughout UK. Upon signing Vice-Chancellor Professor Clive Behagg said: “I want everyone who works, studies, or visits the University to be totally comfortable with their identity and be able to express who they are in all they do with us. “The Sports Charter is a clear statement that homophobia and transphobia have no place in sport and we are proud to sign it.” To find out more about the University of Chichester’s pledge to tackling homophobia and transphobia visit www.chi.ac.uk/equality.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT EVENT
We are proposing a new supermarket, petrol station, hotel, community facilities and restaurant, along with new housing on the land at Park Farm, Selsey, at the junction of Manor Road and Chichester Road.
What do you think?
ONE OF FORMULA 1’S FORGOTTEN MACHINES, the Lec CRP1, will turn a wheel in anger for the first time in over 35 years at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on June 26-29. The CRP1, which last appeared at the Thruxton round of the Aurora AFX Formula 1 Series in 1979, and previously put the cat among the pigeons by leading the 1977 Belgian Grand Prix in the hands of David Purley, has been restored by WDK Motorsport and will be driven up the iconic Goodwood Hillclimb by Festival of Speed and Revival regular, Joe Twyman. The story of the Lec is fascinating. Charles Purley, owner of a Bognor Regis refrigeration business, provided financial backing for local team Church Farm Racing – which had already achieved success in Formula 2 with future motor racing legends Derek Bell and John Watson – to graduate to F1 with a second-hand March chassis in 1973. Purley’s son David hit the headlines almost instantly, his bravery in attempting to pull Roger Williamson out of the burning wreck that would cost him his life
at that year’s Dutch Grand Prix earning the former paratrooper a George Medal. Lec debuted its self-produced, Ford Cosworth-engined CRP1 in 1977, having used fridge door-shaping machinery to manufacture the bodywork panels of the car during quiet nights. Its highlight came at the Belgian GP at Zolder, which Purley led from Niki Lauda briefly before falling back to finish 13th . While Purley would sadly lose his life in an aviation accident off the coast of Bognor at the age of 40 in 1985, the team – run by Mike Earle – evolved through several phases, scoring an F1 podium as Onyx at the 1989 Portuguese Grand Prix with Stefan Johansson and becoming a regular attendee at the Festival of Speed. Joe Twyman, driver, said: “The car has been through a complete restoration process since being bought from the Purley family and taken out of the Donington collection around two years ago. I can’t wait to have a go on the hill in it – the aim is to reach the Sunday shoot-out and break 48 seconds, which I think should be achievable for the Lec.”
Landlink Estates, working with Marsh & Baxter Properties, would like to build a new supermarket-‐led development at Selsey. Before we submit a planning application we would like to know what you think of our plans. Following comments received from residents of Selsey at the 2013 appeal, and after extensive consultation with the Selsey Town Council Neighbourhood Planning Group (NPG), Landlink Estates is seeking to replace the appeal consent won last year with one that fulfills many of the points raised by residents. We are proposing a new quality supermarket, petrol station, hotel, community facilities and restaurant, along with new housing that follows the NPG design guidance. We are holding an exhibition of the proposals where members of the development team will be on hand to receive your comments and suggestions and to answer any questions. Please come along and have your say.

£1m Operation Watershed flood New Cabinet Member for Education and Skills position and is now responsible for: particular focus on education and fund back by popular demand • Education, School and Academy schools. A £1M FUND is available now for communities in West Sussex to bid for to help them prepare against flooding. The popular Operation Watershed ‘Active Communities Fund’ – set up in 2013 by the County Council to help communities tackle flooding issues - has been extended for a further year. Last year £1.25m was dished out to community groups across the county to help them with projects such as digging new drainage ditches, clearing out culverts and dredging ponds. The public response to the fund was so great that the County Council decided to approve a further fund of £1million to help similar community projects this year. It comes after the wettest start to the year in West Sussex since records began. County Council Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services, Lionel Barnard, said: “Due to popular demand, we have extended the Active Community Fund for another year.
“We want to support projects that make our communities more resilient to flooding and protect people and their homes. “We are encouraging parish councils, Flood Action Groups or any other community group to apply.” To be eligible for the fund, any application must: • be made by an established community group in West Sussex, with its own banking facilities; • address issues relating to flooding, flood alleviation and/or flood resilience; and • demonstrate a commitment to developing future flood management strategies in their area. County Council officers will be available to assist groups throughout the application process, and advise on any technical issues that arise. For more information e-mail: operation.watershed@ westsussex.gov.uk Alternatively visit www. westsussex.gov.uk and type ‘Operation Watershed’ in the search bar.

Volunteer for speedwatch in Chichester PEOPLE interested in keeping their roads safe can volunteer for community speedwatch. Chichester Neighbourhood Policing Team currently loans out its speed calming equipment known as SID’s (Speed Indicator Devices) to volunteers to educate drivers of vehicle speeds in the communities. Volunteers are trained and provided with safe risk assessed sites to use the equipment.
Local Chichester volunteer, Carley Sitwell, said: “I and other volunteers are giving up our time this week to carry out speed enforcement with the help of West Sussex County Council and the police. We are out on all sorts of roads in Chichester, including 20mph and 30mph streets, roads with and without speed bumps. It is a great way to help the police in their work of reminding drivers what the speed limits are in busy, built-up
areas. I want to make sure that our streets are as safe and people-friendly as possible and joining in community speedwatch is a way in which I can help to make a difference.” Are you interested in joining one of the current 24 volunteer groups already in operation in Chichester District, or just simply want to know more? Then contact your local PCSO who will be happy to give you more details.

Guide covers the eastern side of the
series from the group, a charity
Chichester district, to the north of
Chichester City, and includes a large area of the South Downs National Park. The series of guides detail all the amenities accessible to the disabled within the district. They also enable parents and grandparents to assess where they might easily be able to take a small child in a pushchair. Glynis Spencer, access group chairman, says: “I am extremely proud of all the effort the members of the group have put in. It is no easy task to assess an area as large as the Chichester District, much of which is rural. All their hard work is rewarded by the encouragement and good wishes the group has received, from the residents and businesses in the areas that our guides cover and we look forward to completing the series. We would not have been able to have achieved what we have without the support we have received from Chichester District Council and our other sponsors.” The group say the guides not only contain vital access information, but also act as a directory of what is available in an area and that this will boost the district’s commercial viability. All the access group members are volunteers and are either disabled or have a connection with disability. Their personal experience enables
them to fully appreciate the needs of the disabled and the everyday challenges they face in accessing buildings and services. Councillor Myles Cullen, Cabinet Member for Commercial Services at Chichester District Council, says: “We are really pleased to be able to support CAG and the work that they do. The group knows first-hand how difficult it can be accessing businesses and shops within the district and so it’s really pleasing to see how many businesses and buildings are accessible. Hopefully it will encourage even more people to visit our beautiful district.” The guide is available in public places such as libraries, council offices and tourist information centres and is also available on the access group’s website www. chichesteraccessgroup.org.uk You can also request a copy by: · leaving a message on 07818 688490 (there is a £2 charge for p&p); · write to CAG, PO Box 695, PO19 9NE enclosing a cheque or stamps; or, · from Chichester District Council’s East Pallant House reception. Funding for the guide came from Chichester District Council, West Sussex County Council and the South Downs National Park Authority.

By order of the British Empire – ‘Take That’ back! I am going to have to be ‘Disgusted of Chichester’ this week. Some people are saying that anyone would have done what Gary Barlow did - try and avoid paying tax. But most people haven’t been awarded the Order of the British Empire. When David Cameron suggested this week that the former Take That frontman shouldn’t have to hand his award back because of the charity work he has done I felt my hackles rise. Whatever work the singer has done he has no doubt benefitted from with increased sales. But what really made me annoyed was that around me I see a lot of people working very hard as volunteers for charity. They are doing it for no other reward than the help it brings others and the only self-interest any of them could possibly be accused of is that one of the reasons they are doing it might just be the need to belong to something or feel a part of something. I see people raising money in the street, visiting the sick, helping out in crises, running food banks and homeless hostels, looking after injured animals, doing hard manual labour to conserve our countryside, even risking their lives - and they aren’t getting an
Allis Moss Writer and broadcaster
OBE. Call me old fashioned, but I just don’t think you can do harm of astronomical proportions to the public purse and keep your honours award – and make no mistake, the millions avoided by the Icebreaker scheme that three Take That band members and their manager subscribed to — did that. The pop star’s OBE ought to be rescinded like the ex-Sir Fred Goodwin’s knighthood after the mess he left for the tax payer at RBS. Or better still, Gary, give it back yourself. From banks to bands – they’re all at it Meanwhile a teacher who was named Head Teacher of the Year in 2007 and awarded a CBE has been banned from teaching for life after claiming from school funds more than £6,000 for a 50th birthday
Write it and Zip it Lucky Mia’s in the middle of her exams… and even talking about herself in third person no longer entertains her like it used to. It brings you down being challenged all the time. There are only so many diagrams I can draw of things in rivers before I lose all care about anything in a river. But I can almost (ALMOST) be dealing with the exams. What gets me is when you come out of the school hall and everyone feels the need to discuss everything about the questions. At least you can supress the dread of having gotten things wrong when you’re not sure that you actually have, but there’s nothing more annoying than everyone discussing an answer and you thinking ‘Oh Jesus Christ I did not get that.’ What’s ridiculous is that it’s so unnecessary. Like, you’ve already given in the test paper and it will never sit in your hands again – this is a blessing and a curse. I hate hate HATE having to think about maths in the exam, let alone after the exam when you’re rid of it. Already I know that I called meiosis mitosis in the biology exam. Already I know that I did not speak loud enough in my drama exam. Already I know that I failed to mention the Sanctity in Life
bash and paying for taxi fares worth nearly the same again not on school business. Shame to lose a good teacher when we so badly need them. Perhaps we should have just forced her to write out a hundred times ‘I must not abuse my expenses’ and allowed her to carry on teaching. The fact that hardly any area of public life seems to be immune makes me wonder if there is there a reason why people are behaving like this? Is it just human nature? Is it a legacy of the ‘me-first’ 1980s? Is it because we live in a secular society without a moral code enshrined at its core? Is it because we see big corporates getting away without paying tax or doing deals so we feel we’re entitled to take what we can? Is it because we’ve seen pensioners who fought in a world war treated badly so we justify taking what we can now? Or do people just do what they think they can get away with? Hole in the Wall Annie, a very sprightly pensioner friend who has banked with Barclays for years, went to withdraw sixty quid at the counter and was
promptly told off for doing so. “For such a small sum you should use the till,” came the scold. I have news for Barclays. First of all, not everyone sees sixty quid as a little sum, and secondly we are not school children to be told how we should access our own money. There might be any number of reasons why someone would prefer to withdraw their cash from a teller rather than queue for the machine. Street talk I walked straight past someone I knew this week. What is the etiquette for passing someone when you catch one another’s eye but aren’t quite sure they have recognised you or want to stop? You don’t want to embarrass them or yourself by suddenly charging up to them, clapping them on the back and booming out a hearty hello, do you? Years ago, I did the complete reverse. I was a student at the time, up north, and had just got off a bus. A woman who had also got off clearly knew me. Together we trudged the long 15 minutes’ walk Contact Allis:
back to the campus, sharing an animated conversation throughout which I hadn’t the foggiest idea who she was or what our common ground was. But I managed not to give it away. Absurd! Wildwood I am a huge fan of the late writer and
naturalist
Deakin.
Sadly, the only book published in his lifetime was Waterlog, a near perfect journal about his long swim across Britain through wild waters – pools, lochs, seas and rivers. Now I am reading Wildwood – his walk through trees. It’s not as good though beautifully written and full of Deakin’s experiences and observations of the countryside. Reading today’s chapter I picked up a useful tip. Flies and insects don’t like pale blue and will avoid it – a reason why old country kitchens are often painted that colour.

Mia Edwards in Ethics. I am yet to receive any of these grades, this is simply the kind feedback of my peers. And it’s things that I shockingly would rather not know. I don’t understand comparing actual grades either. There’s no point in all that ‘What did you get?’ that follows every test, because either way somebody’s gonna come out of it feeling worse about their mark than they did before. There have been times when I’ve been fine with a result until all my friends have told me their higher mark, and vice versa. Ain’t no point in it really. So my suggestion is to be chill. Which I understand is difficult given the exam context. But once you’ve put down that lush black pen, it’s OVER. You can’t do anything about it, so be a lamb and shut up about the answers. If you’re a lone wolf like me, you can just scamper off after most exams to your locker, to avoid the onslaught of questions. On a brighter note, good luck everyone. Have a ball.

Dance group prepare for Glasgow
CHICHESTER’S very own local street dance group the ‘South Coast Crew’ are busy preparing before they head off to the 9th UDO World Street Dance Championships 2014 in Glasgow in August. It will be the popular crew’s second World Championships to date after forming back in February 2012. In
their first year they competed in one competition and gained a second place which enabled them to qualify for last year’s World Championships. This experience and achievement has inspired them by going back this year hungry to compete against and watch some of the best crews from around the world.
This will be their 5th competition to date and they are all eager to get back there and represent the south. Head choreographer Lee Sargeant is looking forward to this year’s tournament. He said: “After last year being our first time at the World Championships we went not knowing what to expect but this year we are going prepared and know what’s in store for us so hopefully this year we can bring back a trophy to show for it.” On the build up to the World Championships the crew are holding a show on the 20 May at 7.30-8.30 at the Alexander Theatre in Bognor Regis to help raise some money for dance outfits and to help take them there. If you want to lend your support please to go and watch the show where you can book online via the Regis website or get them on the night of the show from their box office. If you can’t make the show why not like their Facebook page SOUTH COAST CREW. Members of Lee’s crew heading to Glasgow this summer are Megan Kelly, Megan Ward, Rhys Bradley, Harry Duster, Shannon Parker, Imogen Hartley, Elise Donoghue, Lauren Ware and Issi Ware.
Student artists showcase their unique work on graduating from University
UNIQUE and innovative artwork from more than 50 artists is to be displayed at the University of Chichester next week. An exhibition from third-year undergraduates studying Fine Art will be showcased at the institution to mark the completion of their degrees. The free event, which is being held at Bishop Otter campus in Chichester, runs from Saturday 17 to Sunday 25 May. It will include a number of cutting-edge conceptual sculpture installations, contemporary paintings in oil on canvas using both traditional themes, as well as abstract process-led approaches.
Several students will also be talking about how they created their work from 5:30pm on Thursday 22 May. Tim Sandys-Renton, a Senior Lecturer at the University’s Department of Art, said: “This year’s graduating students will be exhibiting work in a diversity of mediums that spans the full spectrum of art practice. “It will feature a variety of textile art using embroidery and felt, printmaking enhanced with mixed media, large scale photography and video installation fore fronting issues of identity – and most work is for sale.” The exhibition is being held in the University’s artONE venue at Bishop Otter campus in College Lane, Chichester, PO19 6PE.

National News News in Brief • The driver at the wheel of a coach that crashed in Cornwall killing two people has been released on police bail. A 57-year-old driver from Exeter was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. The coach careered into a hedge and struck a wall on a steep hill at Morval, near Looe, on Tuesday. Two women died and four passengers remain in Derriford Hospital in Plymouth. All 50 passengers were on an Age Concern trip from Exmouth. • A 69-year-old man from Essex has finished his 600th marathon, and says he is ready for more. Andy Wilmott completed the Halstead and Essex Marathon in a time of 4:13:55 on Sunday, 26 years after he ran his first marathon in London. “It was just another marathon,” said Mr Wilmott, who lives in Halstead and represents Halstead Road Runners. • More than 1,000 chickens were killed after the lorry carrying them crashed into a safety barrier on the M62 in Greater Manchester. The lorry was carrying 6,800 chickens when it crashed on the eastbound carriageway between junctions 11 and 12 at about 04:00 BST. About 1,500 birds were killed and a number escaped, North West Motorway Police said. • Police in Oxford say 50 to 60 young women have been identified as potential victims of a paedophile ring operating for eight years in the city. Exactly a year ago, seven men were convicted of raping and trafficking six girls aged from 11 to 15 between 2004 and 2012. The victims were groomed and subjected to sadistic sexual abuse. Since then, Thames Valley Police has reviewed about 180 cases of vulnerable children potentially at risk. The investigation, which began in 2012, has heard from dozens of girls who were connected to the gang. • A teacher who kissed and cuddled a pupil has been banned from the profession for life. Leigh White, 28, taught maths at Merrill Academy in Alvaston, Derby, when he engaged in the activity with the teenage girl. He denied his behaviour was sexually motivated but accepted a caution from police last year. A professional conduct panel found it was a case of “serious misconduct”and gave him a prohibition order for life.

Fundraiser Stephen Sutton dies at 19
Stephen Sutton died on Wednesday after raising millions for charity
TEENAGE cancer fundraiser Stephen Sutton has died peacefully in his sleep, his mother said on his Facebook page. The 19-year-old, from Burntwood in Staffordshire, raised more than £3.2m for the Teenage Cancer Trust after news of his plight spread on social media. In a post announcing Stephen’s death, Jane Sutton said he was a “courageous, selfless, inspirational son”. Stephen was diagnosed with terminal cancer aged 15. Rather than dwell on his
misfortune, the teenager drew up a “bucket list” of things he wanted to achieve before he died. This led to him completing a skydive and playing drums in front of 90,000 people before the Uefa Champions League final at Wembley last May, among various achievements. Ms Sutton said in her statement: “My heart is bursting with pride but breaking with pain for my courageous, selfless, inspirational son. “The ongoing support and outpouring of love for Stephen will
New clues in Claudia hunt A 59-YEAR-OLD MAN from York has been arrested on suspicion of murdering missing chef Claudia Lawrence. The man is being questioned about 35-year-old Miss Lawrence’s disappearance in the city in 2009. He has been named locally as Michael Snelling. North Yorkshire Police have been carrying out forensic examinations
at Mr Snelling’s house in Burnholme Grove. A house in North Shields, Tyneside, is also being searched as part of the investigation. Police have also seized a car and said further arrests could not be ruled out. Forensic officers have boarded up the property as part of thei r investigations at the house in York.
help greatly at this difficult time, in the same way as it helped Stephen throughout his journey. “We all know he will never be forgotten, his spirit will live on, in all that he achieved and shared with so many.” Stephen was readmitted to hospital on Sunday after developing breathing difficulties caused by the regrowth of tumours. He had initially set out to raise just £10,000 ($16,800) for charity, but his fundraising campaign attracted huge attention last month after he posted a selfie online. The image went viral and attracted the support of celebrities including Jason Manford, who championed Stephen’s charity efforts. Paying tribute, the comedian said Stephen “was the most inspiring person I’ve ever met and touched more lives than he will ever know”. “He was an incredibly positive young man and a credit to his family, to Burntwood and to humanity itself. “The reason we took to him so passionately was because he was better than us, he did something that none of us could even imagine doing.
“In his darkest hour he selflessly dedicated his final moments to raising millions of pounds for teenagers with cancer.” As well as for his fundraising, Stephen became well known for his bucket list. Along with skydiving and playing drums to a huge crowd, the list also included hugging an elephant and getting a tattoo. Stephen, who was diagnosed with metastatic bowel cancer aged 15, was visited earlier this month at Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital

Taxing times for star names OLYMPIC hurdling star Colin Jackson has invested in a company that used a tax avoidance scheme, it has been revealed. The Cardiff-born former world champion hurdler-turned BBC athletics pundit invested in a company called Sparkdale. It follows news that three members of the band Take That may have to pay back millions of pounds in tax after a tribunal ruling. The Take That stars and their manager invested money through a company called Icebreaker. Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen - along with manager Jonathan Wild - were
among about 1,000 people who put money into schemes purportedly supporting the music industry. During prime minister’s questions on Wednesday, David Cameron was asked why he would not condemn the tax affairs of “Tory-supporting Gary Barlow” by Labour MP Kerry McCarthy. Mr Cameron said he condemned all tax avoidance, before using a Take That lyric to say: “We want your money back for good”. Earlier this week, the prime minister rejected calls for Barlow to hand back his OBE, after reports that the musician had used a tax avoidance scheme.

In the City we have a number of businesses offering fantastic services that can help make your beautiful day extra special, and one of those is YourPerfectDayUK.com.

a different aspect to the business. This includes chauffeuring, cake baking, hair & make-up and photography. Covering an impressive 50 mile radius, the family have recognised a gap in the market for value for money wedding packages. “We wanted to deliver services to couples without breaking their bank,” explained Kern when I spoke to him. “My father retired from the police force after 30 years and wanted to be his own boss, and create a way to bring the family together with the skills we each have.” With a number of confirmed bookings for this wedding season, ranging from car hire through to the full works, the family are keen to take the stress out of wedding planning with their business, which is proving to be very popular locally. Especially since the family have just purchased a sweet cart to add to their package portfolio! Wedding package prices start from just £529.00. The website is easy to navigate and offers the browser the opportunity to select services required from its clear price matrix. It’s great to see that an otherwise complicated area of planning and decision making is As well as this, over 1000 businesses in our area will also get at least one newspaper delivered to them whether they are in the City Centre, a town or village, an industrial business park or a lone café on a country road.

being simplified in this way. The company come across as laid back professionals too – just what you need for a day that can create all kinds of stresses and strains from managing long lost relatives to wardrobe malfunctions! “As well as a number of bookings for this year, we have recently formed a great working relationship with Holiday Inn Brighton, as one of their preferred suppliers which is really exciting,” says Kern. This further demonstrates there is a need for a business like this locally. It’s so encouraging seeing a business delivering a value for money wedding service. I have known
friends who have ended up spending thousands on their weddings and I find it quite astounding when I learn just how much everything can cost. Fortunately, I don’t have this to worry about yet. I find it complicated enough trying to decide what outfit to wear as a wedding guest, let-alone having to think about planning a whole day for a group of family and guests to enjoy. I have just one wedding this year to get planning an outfit for, I wonder if the Blythman’s will offer wedding guest fashion advice one day too? Pop on to www. YourPerfectDayUK.Com to find out more.

HUNDREDS of people took part in The Grange Centre’s free fun day on Sunday 11 May, to celebrate the opening of the new centre in Midhurst. The centre also had a little help from its most famous user, George Hendrie (19), who is the Under 20 British Fencing Champion. He provided helpful tips to the youngsters taking part in the day. “The new centre is fantastic. It’s a lot more hi-tech than the old centre VAN HIRE and provides me with much more advanced training,” says George. “The atmosphere is great and the staff and instructors are really friendly. It really is a great place to train. “Both the old and new centres have been really supportive in helping me to train towards the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020. I
really appreciate everything they are doing to help me.” The leisure and community centre, which is run by Chichester District Council, provided residents with the chance to try a range of activities– including badminton, pre-school gymnastics, short tennis, table tennis, fencing, trampolining and even kurling! The large sports hall was filled with a bouncy castle and even a gokart track! For the adults there were also taster classes in Pilates, Kettle Bells, Fitness Interval Training, Spinning, Fitness Pilates and Power Yoga. Anna Ward from Fernhurst attended the fun day with her family. “I think that the new centre is amazing. It’s a really fantastic facility,” says Anna.
“There’s so much light in the new centre and it’s so spacious. Everyone wants to come here. There are just so many different things to do. “My daughter attends the ballet classes and my children have attended a few bouncy castle parties here. The kids just love it. There is something for all ages – even short mat bowls.” The Chichester Wellbeing team were also available to offer help and advice on a range of issues. “Our free open day gave us the chance to celebrate our new community facility and to provide people with the opportunity to try a variety of activities and find out more about what the centre offers,” says Cllr Eileen Lintill, Cabinet Member for Wellbeing and Community Services at Chichester District Council. “Everyone had a fantastic time and the centre was busy all day. We are incredibly proud of the new centre and the feedback has been very positive. The centre offers so many services under one roof, including leisure services, a library, community facilities, a registrar office, a bar/cafe and council services, making it easier for people to access them. “Those who visited for the first time were surprised at how much was available under the one roof.” People can find more information about the centre at www.westgateleisure.gov.uk or calling 01730 816841.

Chichester garden centre raises funds for leading military charity through poppy sales HILLIER NURSERIES and Garden Centres will raise money in aid of Blind Veterans UK, the national charity for vision-impaired exService men and women, through the sale of 10,000 traditional wild flower poppies in Garden Centres across the UK, including in Hillier’s Chichester branch. The campaign will run throughout May and June. Wanting to commemorate all those fallen in warfare since the outbreak of World War One, Hillier, the UK’s leading grower of trees and garden plants, has decided to grow Papaver rhoeas, known as the ‘Flanders’ poppy, and will donate 25p from the sale of each plant to Blind Veterans UK. Blind Veterans UK, formerly known as St Dunstan’s, was founded in 1915 as a direct response to the large numbers of soldiers returning blinded from the battlefields of World War One. Today, the national charity still supports blind veterans by providing free, comprehensive and lifelong practical and emotional support to them and their families, however it supports blind veterans
regardless of when they served or how they lost their sight - not only those blinded in conflict. Hillier too has its own military connection; founded 150 years ago in 1864, the company’s trees were used to camouflage m i l i t a r y operations during the Second World War. L a r r y Rynsard, Head of Marketing at Hillier Nurseries, said: “‘Flanders’ poppies are, of course, the symbol of remembrance dating back 100 years to World War One. They are wild flowers that germinate when the soil has been disturbed – the work of the plough in peacetime, and by guns in times of war. We know that many people will want to commemorate
the centenary of World War One and feel that selling poppies to help raise funds in aid of Blind Veterans UK is an excellent way of doing this.” A n d r e w Jones,

said: “Blind Veterans UK is extremely excited to be working with such a well-known organisation as Hilliers. Together we will be raising vital funds to support thousands of veterans whose lives have been seriously affected by severe sight loss. Every penny raised will make a real difference to those who served our country.” The poppy promotion will take place throughout May and June in Hillier garden centres and other leading garden centres across the UK.

Cinema Film review: Godzilla Godzilla (PG13) Running time: 123 mins Director: Gareth Edwards Starring: Aaron TaylorJohnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, Sally Hawkins, David Strathairn, Bryan Cranston
WIN TWO TICKETS TO CINEWORLD
FOR A CHANCE TO WIN 2 TICKETS, ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: Q. Bryan Cranston played the character of Hal in which American TV comedy
Godzilla has form: he’s flattened Tokyo, made a fool of himself in New York and teamed up with a cute sidekick for a best-forgotten cartoon series. Now everyone’s favourite mean, green, city-stomping machine gets the big-budget 3D treatment courtesy of Brit director Gareth Edwards, whose 2010 DIY indie ‘Monsters’ impressed many. If all you need for a good time is full-on shots of wondrously realised CGI creatures turning to the camera and giving an almighty spit-flecked roar, you’re in luck. But those hoping this ‘Godzilla’ might have brains as well as bulk could be disappointed. It starts strongly, with eerie stock footage
of Pacific nuclear tests followed by a nailbiting opening sequence at a Fukushima-style power plant, bluntly but effectively echoing the original 1954 film’s post-Hiroshima atomic angst. Flash forward 14 years and we find chief engineer Joe (Bryan Cranston) obsessed with theories about the accident, while his estranged son Ford (Aaron TaylorJohnson) tries to bring his dad back down to earth. Then something stirs in the deep… Edwards is an absolute whiz when it comes to creature design. Godzilla himself is chunky, tactile and pleasingly old fashioned, particularly in comparison with Roland Emmerich’s ornate, spiky
1998 reboot, while his adversaries, the winged, insectoid Muto (aka Mothra), are delightfully grotesque. But his handling of storytelling is not so confident: following a couple of gripping action scenes (and one distracting plotting blunder early on), ‘Godzilla’ settles into a simple, fairly standard cross-Pacific chase movie. The script is derivative and lacks humour, and the characterisation is weak: actors like Sally Hawkins and Ken Watanabe have little to do, while a bland Taylor-Johnson is miscast as the square-jawed hero. It’s fun to watch scaly, skyscraper-sized behemoths lay waste to civilisation, but a bit more human drama would be welcome.

Food poverty charity hits out at minister’s food bank claims FOOD POVERTY charity the Trussell Trust has hit out at claims by a government minister that the coalition’s welfare reforms policy is not to blame for a dramatic rise in food bank usage. The charity said that the government’s welfare reforms, including the controversial ‘bedroom tax’, had “exacerbated” the need for food banks in the UK. The comments came in response to a letter sent by employment minister Esther McVey, writing to the Scottish parliament claiming that “the rise in food banks predates most of the welfare reforms this government has put in place”. The Scottish National Party described the letter as “heartless”. But Ewan Gurr, regional development officer at the Trussell Trust, said: “All the empirical evidence and research shows that welfare reform is the main force driving increasing demand for food banks.” The charity, which supports more than 400 foodbanks across
the UK, predicted last year that it had handed out around half a million emergency food parcels. “Food banks are responding to a need that has always existed but welfare reform has exacerbated that,” Gurr added. “The rising cost of food and fuel is also a factor driving in the need for food banks but all the research indicates the key factor is welfare reform. “All we are asking is that the UK government takes note of this and provides some creative solutions. In 2012/13 the Trussell Trust supported 14,318 people. In the past financial year we supported 71,428. The numbers speak for themselves.” McVey recently said in a debate on food poverty in December that “it is right to say that more people are visiting food banks, as we would expect”. She added: “Times are tough and we all have to pay back the £1.5 trillion of personal debt.”

Food stunt captures headlines A LONDON restaurant is ditching the traditional bill at the end of a meal and is asking customers to simply photograph their food to pay for it. The Picture House pop-up restaurant opened in Soho on Thursday. In the stunt by Birds Eye, diners are encouraged to photograph their meals and share them online. Instead of paying with cash, customers have to settle the bill with an Instagram photograph using the hashtag #BirdsEyeInspirations. The pop-up diner has been set up after research reveals that more than half of Britons regularly take photos of their meals. While one in ten take at least one snap of their food every week, nine per cent confess to not being able to go a single day without photographing a picture of one of their dishes, according to the Birds Eye survey. And foodies have an eye for how to present their meals, with more than a third of Britons admitting they artfully arrange their food on a plate with the intention of sharing it
online, while more than a third take pictures of their meals to flex their artistic muscles. Britons admit they are obsessed with achieving the perfect food selfie, and 60 per cent say their evening dinner is their favourite meal to snap and upload online. Birds Eye is launching the novelty restaurant as part of its ‘Food of Life’ campaign - a major new advertising offensive aimed at changing people’s perceptions of frozen food by focusing on how
most Britons eat and interact at meal times. Birds Eye marketing director Margaret Jobling said: “Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their meal time moments - from the everyday to the very special. We wanted to tap into this trend and create a new reason for people to talk about and sample our Inspirations range.” The Picture House pop-up restaurant opened its doors at the Ice Tank in Soho.

Plane Etiquette Revealed poopers here, have a drink or two if you like (it can help to ease those travel nerves after all). But please, try to stop before becoming too loud and obnoxious.
BEING STUCK in the cramped environs of a Boeing 747 is enough to make anyone a little irritable. So when you add noisy passengers, teething children and seat kickers into the mix, it’s enough to make you lose it entirely. Below we outline some simple rules to make air travel a more pleasant experience for all.
Save the drinking for the holiday Holidays are a time to let loose and have fun, but does the party need to start on the plane? Or in the airport bar for that matter? In a survey by LateDeals.co.uk, it was found that the most annoying thing to deal with on a long flight is drunk and rowdy passengers. We don’t want to be party
Be considerate of other people’s space A bone of contention that rates high on the annoyance list for travelers is dealing with seat kickers. Be kind to the passenger in front and take care when adjusting your entertainment system and tray table. The same goes for your seat. Keep it upright until you are allowed to recline and when you do so, do it slowly. The person behind you may have drinks on their table that could spill if you recline too fast. As well as this, try not to impinge on your neighbour’s personal space too much. There’s no need to have a battle over the armrest. Respect you neighbour’s privacy While it’s important not to invade a fellow passenger’s space, it’s
equally important not to invade their privacy. You may like to make friends wherever you go, but that doesn’t mean that the stranger sitting next to you does. Sure, some people enjoy chatting when they travel, but many utilise the time to read, catch up on work or to simply watch an in-flight movie. The same goes for reading a magazine over someone’s shoulder. It’s invasive and annoying, so if you’re prone to getting bored on a flight, take a book and keep yourself entertained! Don’t allow your children to run wild Restless children and crying babies can be extremely annoying on a flight, so much so that in its research, LateDeals found that passengers would pay an extra £63 per return ticket, for an adult-only flight. We understand that kids will be kids, but if you’re flying with a young brood, keep an eye on them and ensure that they are kept under control. Long haul flights can be boring for children
so plan ahead and take along some games, activities or colouring books to help keep them entertained. Be conscious of personal hygiene Sitting next to someone with bad personal hygiene on any form of public transport is rough enough, but in a cramped and airless cabin? It is nothing short of a form of torture. Try to be considerate of your fellow passengers when flying and don’t board a flight stinking of booze, cigarettes or body odour. And unless extremely necessary, resist the urge to take off your shoes mid flight. Flying can be difficult enough without having to deal with inconsiderate passengers. If you’re a perpetrator of any of the sins above, it’s worth remembering that bad behavior can lead to being kicked off the plane. So heed our advice and be kind to your fellow passengers. Happy travelling!

How do you sleep? And are you still feeling tired?
The position in which you sleep can reveal lots about your personality… 1. STOMACH If you prefer a face down position, you’re probably a perfectionist who is compulsive, persistent and goal oriented, according to experts. That may be good for your career, but won’t do your body any favours. It can twist your neck into an awkward position and put excess pressure on your spine. To avoid waking up aching, gently nudge yourself into sleeping in a foetal pose by lying on your side with a pillow between your knees. 2. BACK Staring straight up at the ceiling can signal an adventurous, confident and receptive personality. Catching zeds on your back can also ease lower back pain and some people find a pillow under their knees in this position helps even more. But back sleeping triggers undue stress on your airway, so it’s a bad idea for snorers. 3. SIDE Some 73 per cent of women and 50 per cent of men spend the night on

2. YOUR THYROID Hypothyroidism is when your thyroid, a gland that produces hormones to control sleepiness and hunger, is underactive. It’s a common cause of over-sleeping, but hard to pinpoint without a doctor. A simple blood test can detect changes.
their sides. Most curl into a semifoetal pose, with their knees slightly bent. It is said such people tend to be considerate, whereas those who snooze in full foetal (with their knees hugged to their chest) are introspective and intense. Health wise, sleeping on either side curtails snoring, and resting on your left eases heartburn.
3. ALCOHOL More than half of us reach for a glass of vino between three to four times a week to relax after a hectic day. While alcohol relaxes you initially, it can compromise your sleep quality, even if you are get the recommended 7-8 hours. The chemicals in alcohol disrupt your sleep cycle, preventing you from entering deep sleep. Step away from the Chardonnay.
Reasons you may be feeling tired…
4. YOU HAVE SLEEP APNEA The disorder affects 3-7% of the population. Sufferers wake up because they stop breathing anywhere from five times to hundreds of times an hour. Sounds scarier than it is but you’ll sleep for longer because your sleep quality is compromised. The catch: you don’t remember waking up, so it’s hard to tell if you’re suffering. Snoring, being overweight,
1. YOU’RE DEHYDRATED Without adequate fluid intake, blood pressure drops, slowing delivery of oxygen to the brain, which can leave you feeling flat out. The amount of fluid needed depends on the individual, but you should aim for between six and eight glasses of water a day at least.
and waking up with a headache, caused by a nocturnal lack of oxygen are all symptoms of sleep apnea. 5. NAPPING A siesta can take the edge off an afternoon slump, but the duration of your downtime is crucial. It has been clinically proven that taking a nap for up to 30 minutes is revitalising, but any longer than that and you’ll end up in a REM cycle for an hour. Waking mid-cycle can leave you feeling groggy so if you want to nap for longer, have one lasting 90 minutes. 6. YOUR MOOD Many depressed people aren’t just down in the dumps - they’re sleepy,
too. Depression doesn’t necessarily make you sleep more, it just makes getting out of bed tougher, which could lead to excess sleep. 7. MINERAL DEFICIENCY Magnesium plays a vital role in maintaining blood glucose levels, muscle health and concentration so a lack of it can leave you feeling lethargic. Magnesium is found in leafy vegetables and nuts, but a supplement can help too.

Holly surfs to eleventh in the world La Boquita on the pacific coast of Nicaragua.
Each countries teams
were seeded then split into heats of 20 or 15 minutes to compete in riding the waves –Holly’s first heat was against the 2013 World Champion from Brazil and top world ranked Costa Rican Surfer. Holly made it through 3 days of heats going through the reportage to get over all 11th in blistering heat and humidity. Team GB was ranked 12 overall out of 31 countries. The competition was super tough with most of the women competing as full time professionals –world champions in other sports and full time paddle surfers – for Holly at 16 years old, and just starting her (Photo credits Simon Bassett) Holly in action
LOCAL GIRL Holly Bassett returned from The ISA Stand Up Paddlesurf Worlds in Nicaragua ranked No 11 in the world, in the women’s surf SUP division. The International Surfing Association hold each year the World SUP surf and flat water Worlds with over 31 different countries competing in Surf SUP, Distance and Technical SUP flat water racing and prone surfboard events. Teams are selected from each countries national qualifying events and in Holly’s case she was British Women’s SUP Champion
in 2013. It is a mini Olympics for Stand Up Paddlesurfing. The whole event was paraded in country order through the city of Grenada with thousands of spectators – Holly was the UK team’s official sand pourer where sand from each country (West Wittering Beach) was poured to represent surfers uniting from around the world, in front of the ISA panel, Mayor of Granada and the Nicaraguan Minister of Tourism. Holly, 16, was part of a 7 person team from all over the UK -the surf side of the event was held in
GSCEs at Seaford College it was a challenging ask with the 10,500 mile trip, the time difference and 80 degree temperatures! This ISA World Competition has certainly fired Holly up. She competed in the prone surfing relay and was one place out of qualification – so she will compete in more events and aim for the 2014 National Championships in October this year. Holly has been sponsored by Fanatic, Kialoa, Ion, 2XS, X-train West

New set-up for women at Chichester CHICHESTER CITY LADIES RESERVES are to become Chichester City Ladies Development Team and move into the Women’s Premier League Reserve Section. After a successful winning campaign in the South East Counties Division 1 West this season, instead of moving into the South East Counties Premier Division the reserves have taken the opportunity to play in the Women’s Premier League Reserve Section. Because the ladies first team compete in the South West Combinations League the reserves have the opportunity to join the reserve section. At the same time the team will now be called the
Development Team as focus turns into ensuring player movement into the first team on a regular basis. Whilst in the South East Counties Division movement between the two teams has become difficult as when a player reaches 6 appearances (even a sub appearance) they become a senior player. The league rules then state that only two senior players can play in a reserve team league game and none in a reserve league cup game. With all the weather difficulties last year there were opportunities for reserve team players to get first team experience on different occasions, which the club did, however, some were then close to becoming senior players
and would have become unavailable for the league cup QF and SF games. This meant that some didn’t move up and down to ensure they could still play reserve team football when the weather cleared up. This has become a massive reason as to why the set-up have made the decision as a club to move to the reserve section. Players can then move between the squads without any fear of becoming unavailable. This issue became apparent when the club accidentally played a player in the first team this season and ended up being deducted 6 points as a fine. The club don’t want this issue again and want more players breaking into the first team.
The set-ups ambition as a club has always been at the forefront of everything they do and whilst they are looking to develop players for the first team, they want to get that team into the highest league possible at the same time. The club believe that giving the new Development Team an opportunity at a higher level will only help all in the future. This means that the Development Team will now play the likes of Tottenham, West Ham, Charlton, Gillingham, QPR, Portsmouth, Cardiff City, Crystal Palace, Brighton, C&K Basildon and Lewes as they have also applied for teams in the Reserve Section. This is a huge step forward for
the club and will hopefully benefit all players at the club as well as improving the progress of players into the first team. Development Team Manager, Caz Henry-Evans, says: “This is a great step in the right direction and the decision was made, after discussion with the team. They are excited at the opportunity and want to work hard to win as many games as they can. We have had a great season by winning the South East Counties Division 1 West league title and getting to the SF of the League Cup (only losing on penalties). We are all looking forward to the challenges we will face for 2014-2015.”
