British Heart Foundation Scores With Crawley Charity Football Match A charity football match and family fun day held in Crawley in memory of a man who died from a heart attack aged 32 has raised almost £5,000 for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) charity.
M
By Jacob White
ore than 300 families and football fans attended the 2017 Paul Bushell Family Fun Day and Cup at Crawley Town Football Club’s Checkatrade.com Stadium earlier this summer to raise money for the BHF in memory of Paul Bushell, who grew up in Ifield, and died from a heart attack in February 2016. The event was organised by Paul’s best friend since childhood, Dave Marshall – Paul and Dave both attended Ifield Community College and went on to work for the same company, Automotive Repair Systems. Paul’s premature death was brought on by high cholesterol and was a shock to his family. The charity football match saw a team made up of colleagues from Automotive Repair Systems play another local firm Caffyns – although, largely for fun and bragging rights, Automotive Repair Systems won the match 3 – 2 but the day was all about raising money for a special cause to Paul’s friends and family.

The day raised £4,773.63, and as well as the fantasy football, visitors to Crawley Town Football Club could enjoy bouncy castles, a bungee run and soft play assault course, a car show and stalls featuring second hand sales, cake sales, a prize-winning tombola and other table-top games and competitions. Talking about his inspiration for the day, Dave said: “A colleague of mine, Chris had the idea of a match in memory of Paul. I ran with it and turned it into a fun day – the fun day is an attraction with the football Crawley Town Football Club let us use their facilities – a huge thank you goes to them.” Reflecting on the day and local engagement, Dave says: “I was overwhelmed at the generosity of all the people that attended, helped and donated. With everything bad that goes on in this world, it’s nice to see so many people come together and do something really brilliant for a fantastic cause.’ “I wanted to raise £3,000 this year and people really dug deep and we beat it. I just hope for

the same again next year! The Paul Bushell Family Fun Day and Cup will definitely be back again next year, hopefully bigger and better, and with even more people there in attendance” Dave added. Lewis Honeywell, BHF fundraising manager, said: “Dave and Chris put an extraordinary amount of effort into organising this event, it was brilliant to see so many people support it. Every pound raised by this event will be used to help fund new ways to help treat, prevent and cure heart conditions.”

Friends Of Buchan Country Park Buchan Country Park, located on the Horsham Road (A264) on the edge of Crawley is maintained thanks to the work of West Sussex County Council countryside rangers with the help of volunteers from Friends Of Buchan Country Park – I spoke to Jan, secretary of the group to learn more. By Jacob White
F
riends Of Buchan Country Park which started life in 2011 currently has 23 registered members, as well as separate groups of practical volunteers who help the countryside rangers around the park. The work of council staff and volunteers makes the park a place accessible to all - the paths at Buchan Country Park are well-maintained, making them suitable for wheelchair and buggy users. The park which is free to enter and offers free-parking has a number of trails which visitors can use to get up close and personal with the flora and fauna of the park with a free trail guide available. Aside from the free trail guide visitors can also learn more about the park at the onsite countryside centre building where various facts about the park can be found and local produce purchased.
Jan who has been recently appointed group secretary has been a member for the past two years and encourages more members of the free-to-join group which is promoting this Sussex park. Jan, said: “We are an independent self-funding body who aim to support the work of the countryside rangers by promoting the park, its use as a public green space and its wildlife conservation value.’
“This is done through running a range of annual events including the fun dog show, art in the park, Easter egg hunt, all about apples and Christmas carols which all raise funds for the park.” Events at the park are proving to become more popular year-on-year, and in the spring the group had a record-breaking turnout for the park’s Easter egg hunt – drawing in families from far and wide. The chocolate-filled Easter event was a success and saw an increase in both visitors, but also and most importantly more money raised for the park than at any previous event – more than £1,000. The money raised will go towards the continued upkeep and improvements to the park. Can you help, and volunteer with the group? It is always looking for volunteers to help at events.
Join The Park Life!
Membership of The Friends Of Buchan Park is free, for more information about the group, visit:www.fobcp.org.uk. For more information on the park, visit: www.westsussex. gov.uk/buchanpark

Crawley’s Boom Boom Olympian This September marks 45 years since Crawley-born boxer Alan Minter battled his way to Olympic bronze in the Munich games of that year – this month, RH History Uncovered looks back at an illustrious sporting career which saw the Sussex southpaw scoop medals, records and plaudits. By Jacob White
B
oxer Alan Minter, born on August 17 1951 competed from 1972 to 1981 – his achievements include holding the undisputed middleweight title in 1980 having previously been the British middleweight holder from 1975 to 1976, and the European middleweight title twice between 1977 and 1979. Before turning professional, he won Olympic bronze in the light-middleweight division in 1972 in Munich. He was defeated by the slenderest of decisions as two judges voted for him, two for his opponent – the fifth judge had the fight even at 59-59 but gave the advantage to the German. Victory in Munich proved to be the catalyst of a successful boxing career for the boy from Crawley – he began his glittering professional career with a bout with Maurice Thomas in London on October 31 1972, a fight which Alan would go on to win by knocking out his opponent Thomas in six rounds. Alan went on to claim five fights in a row by knockout and his career would take him across the world with fights being staged at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Milan, Monte Carlo and the home of modern, glitzy and razzmatazz-filled American boxing – the iconic Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. A proud product of his local amateur boxing club, Alan, who won an Olympic medal and claimed a European and world title, did not forget his roots – at the height of his boxing career he still managed to run an upmarket restaurant and wine bar in Crawley High Street called Minters. Before hanging up his gloves, Alan for a while did conditioning work at Crawley sports centre with another sporting great with links to Crawley – double Olympic decathlon champion Daley Thompson, who at the time was studying at Crawley Sixth Form College, and lived with thrower Richard Slaney. The 1980s saw the beginning of the end of Alan’s career, he beat fringe contender Ernie Singletary in 1981 but soon suffered defeats to Mustafa Hamsho and Tony Sibson. He left the sport with a record in professional boxing of 39 wins – of which 23 were knockouts, nine losses and one no contest.

Audrey 2 promises fame, fortune and the girl of his dreams if he will just Feed Me,

COVER STORY
The Golden Era Of British Cinema Comes To Sussex!
Dunkirk (1958): Screening On The Beach This September, commemorate the enduring British wartime spirit of heroism amid severely chaotic conditions as STUDIOCANAL brings a very special late summer event to Sussex, a restored showing of Leslie Norman’s 1958 epic Dunkirk as allied forces evacuated France in the face of great adversity. By Jacob White
T
he special event on the beaches of Camber Sands on Wednesday, September 20 and Thursday, September 21 will be the premiere screening of a new restoration of the 1950s classic starring John Mills, who also appeared in Ice Cold In Alex, Goodbye Mr Chips, and Great Expectations, Richard Attenborough star of Brighton Rock, and The Great Escape, and a cast of genuine army officers. Directed by Leslie Norman, whose other work includes The Long, The Short And The Tall, Dunkirk is acclaimed as one of the most authentic representations of conflict, and was filmed on the exact beaches of Camber Sands that the screening will take place. The event is in association with The Luna Cinema and The Vintage Festival, and is part of the BFI’s Britain On Film Collection: Coast and Sea As well as the screening, event-goers will enjoy an evening of themed 1940s entertainment including food and drink of the era, 1940s dance

classes and set dressing, music and re-enactments. Gates open at 5.30pm, and the screening begins at 7.30pm. The screening will be preceded by archive films, including a montage of footage from the local coastal area at the time of the production. Dunkirk follows the events leading up to Operation Dynamo, where the British Army attempted to rescue fellow soldiers and allied troops from Nazi occupied France. Seen from the dual perspectives of a jaded journalist in search of propaganda and a weary soldier desperately trying to give his troop some hope, Dunkirk never shies away from the brutality of war and the bravery of its soldiers. The new restoration of Dunkirk is released on DVD, Blu-ray and EST, with new extras on Monday, September 25 2017 from STUDIOCANAL as part of their Vintage Classics Collection – showcasing iconic British films, fully restored and featuring new content.

The Fallen Hard and Heavy Tidings Before the Dunkirk evacuation operation was completed, the prognosis had been very gloomy, Prime Minister Winston Churchill warned the House of Commons on May 28 to expect “hard and heavy tidings”. Subsequently, Churchill referred to the outcome as a miracle, and the British press presented the evacuation as a disaster turned to triumph so successfully Churchill had to remind the country, “we must be very careful not to assign to this deliverance the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations.” .

The British Expeditionary Force (BEF) lost 68,000 soldiers (dead, wounded, missing, or captured) from May 10 until the surrender of France on June 22. Heavy equipment had to be abandoned, leaving behind in France 2,472 guns, 20,000 motorcycles, and almost 65,000 other vehicles. Six British and three French destroyers were sunk, along with nine other major vessels. In addition, 19 destroyers were damaged. More than 200 British and allied sea craft were sunk, with a similar number damaged. The Royal Navy’s most significant losses in the operation were six destroyers The RAF lost 145 aircraft, of which at least 42 were Spitfires, while the Luftwaffe lost 156 aircraft in operations in the nine days of Operation Dynamo.
The Royal Navy claimed the destruction of 35 Luftwaffe aircraft during the period from May 27 to June 1 and damage to 21 other aircraft. For every seven soldiers who escaped through Dunkirk, one was left behind as a prisoner of war. The majority of these prisoners were sent on forced marches into Germany. Prisoners reported brutal treatment by their guards, including beatings, starvation, and murder. Many of the prisoners were marched to the city of Trier, with the march taking as long as 20 days. The prisoners were then sent by rail to prisoner of war camps in Germany. The majority (those below the rank of corporal) worked in industry and agriculture for the remainder of the war. Today, the missing dead of the BEF are commemorated on the Dunkirk Memorial.

CHILDREN
Private Schools In Focus
Choosing a school for your child is likely to be the most important decision you will make as a parent. Choose the right school and you can put your child on the path towards enjoying learning and in the future, a successful career – but, where do you start? By Jacob White

ndependent schools, private schools and public schools are essentially the same – whatever you call them, they have no funding from government and rely on tuition fees, gifts, endowments and charity-backing. There are many good private schools locally and the private education sector is proving to be an increasingly popular choice for parents, gone are the days when private schools were just for an elite few. Why choose a private education for your child? Higher standards of education, more chances in life, strong discipline, smaller classes and, better results are some of the reasons. Whatever the reason, the most important thing is to choose the right school for Of the reasons parents choose a private education, excellent sporting facilities, the opportunity to study classical subjects like Ancient Greek and Latin and networking opportunities are some given.

your child - what is a good school for one child may not be right for yours. Choosing is a process of elimination, it is vital to view several. If the first school you visit feels right make sure you see others to confirm this, create a list of what you would like when you start looking at all the schools locally. What is important to you and your child? This includes location, before and after school provision, sport facilities, help with learning difficulties, support for gifted and talented

children, after-school clubs available or its religious outlook. Contact schools and arrange a personal visit or go to an open day, take your child with you – they will see things from a child’s perspective. Talk to the children at the school – are they happy and motivated? Do not forget to talk to parents – they can give you an honest opinion of what day to day life is like in the school but most of all, go with your gut instinct – did your child feel at home there?
01342 718348
Private schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum, however, like state schools, they are inspected to ensure they are up to standard. Reports are published online by the organisation who inspects them including Ofsted, the Independent Schools Inspectorate, the Bridge Schools Inspectorate or the School Inspection Service.
Did you leave feeling positive? You need to also consider finances, what will you be expected to pay? Consider, also, routine and family life, do they offer Saturday school and do school holidays fit in with your life? Do you consider boarding? If you are considering boarding there are additional things to consider, do you choose full or exiboarding? How much contact do you get with your child and how many boarders the same age and gender stay? If you decide to apply and can pay the fees, what next? Most senior schools use the Common Entrance exam, those at prep schools are coached to sit these exams but you can get a tutor to help your child. Did you know? A private education is now available from just 12 months-old! Many prep schools offer baby rooms. Those educated wholly in the private sector can typically attend nursery until they are four, pre-prep from four to eight and prep school from eight to either 11 or 13 followed by senior school through to 18 and off to university.

When Your Children Spread Their Wings
Being a parent is the worst job! Children, for 18 years or so run you ragged, and then they head off to university or a home of their own as they please! Suddenly, you are redundant and your nest is empty! However, a sudden empty nest when your children spread their wings can be challenging.
W
By Jacob White e have some ways you can ease the burdens that come with the challenging times ahead:
Preparing For Departure If you are expecting your child or children to be leaving, take time to check that they are aware of how to care for themselves. Make sure they know how to wash their clothes, cook and appreciate the value of money. Whilst these improve with practice, it is important to talk them through it.
sense of emptiness, or an inability to get your life back on track after the children leave, it is important to get help. You may be suffering from depression or a similar psychological issue - speak to a professional, cognitive therapy or other types of therapy that enable you to talk through your concerns. Treat yourself – do not neglect yourself, have a massage, go to the cinema, buy chocolates! Talk to your partner about your feelings.
Think Positively They will feel a range of emotions from being terrified to excited about their upcoming new experiences. If they are worried about the prospect of leaving, reassure them by telling them that the unknown is worse than reality. Help them understand that once in their new routine, it will be familiar and fun. Let them know that the family home is their permanent base, for whenever they need or want to return home. This provides you both with a secure sense of belonging and safety.
Start Looking After Yourself Once satisfied that you have set your child on the right path, note all the things you had promised yourself you would get around to – now is the time to start doing them! Build new friendships or revive lapsed ones. Friends are an important part of your transition from parent full-time to person-at-home-without-kids. Take up a new hobby or return to education or restart your career – either pick up where you left off or start a new one! Consider volunteering, if you are not ready to go back to work volunteering is a good way to transition back into the workforce at a pace that suits you!
Look At The Ways Of Staying In Touch You will feel a sense of loneliness and emptiness when they are gone because you cannot just turn around and have a conversation with them. Staying in constant communication is important for maintaining a sense of family togetherness. Today, staying in touch is easier than it was for past generations – think about the following - buy prepaid mobile phone minutes so that they do not have to be concerned about the cost of calling you, schedule a weekly call-in time, and use email or text for all the in-between times. These are great mediums because you can say things without being too emotional.
Rediscover the love of your life Unless you are a single parent, you will be left with your partner and this can be a difficult time if you discover that there is a problem with your relationship you had not faced because having the children around helped to cement your relationship. If your children were the only bonding force in your relationship, you and your partner may need to work on your relationship. Acceptance that this is a difficult time of transition can allow both of you to forgive the uncertainties and messiness of growing together as a couple without children again, this as an opportunity to rediscover each other.
Understand Empty Nest Syndrome Empty nest syndrome is a psychological condition that affects largely women, producing grief when one or more of the children leave home. Most common when children leave for university, or when children marry and leave home to live with their partner empty nest syndrome can lead to a feeling of redundancy, feeling lost, and unsure about the future feeling sad and crying is normal.
Focus On The Positives Focus on the positive changes - although, this does not remove the importance of your sadness and the transition you and your children are going through, it does help you to see things positively. Some of the positives include – the fridge will not need filling so frequently, romance with your partner may increase, there will be less washing and ironing to do, lower water and electricity bills, you can run across the landing naked, join the National Trust and most of all, enjoy the sense of accomplishment that you have raised a child who is capable of going out into the world!

HOMES
C’est Chic!
Are you planning to revamp your home? We have some inspiration for you with innovative ways to beautify your home in true vintage style. Simple changes can add value to your home through décor projects. Did you know that you could use a collection of vintage mirrors of different shapes and sizes to accessorise a blank wall and brighten your living space? Or geometrically shaped lights could lift the ambiance of your room to a new level? Remember, vintage is the new modern, so say chic! By Jacob White
T
rends in interior design are in constant change, here is our list of vintage looks hot right now!
Comfort Seat Create a living room that pampers you and your guests – bring in comfort and style with a cosy sofa and add a comfy and luxurious faux fur throw to increase the grandeur of your daily living space.
22
Mirror Image You do not want to place your plush sofa against a bland wall, instead, try adding an assortment of vintage mirrors – different shapes adds a cutting edge look and makes the wall come alive.
Storage Walls Looking for something elegant and rustic? Why not choose an antique-styled wall unit? When sat alongside modern furniture it provides a smart and stylish contrast but practical too!
Lighten Up! Lights really do set the mood and ambience of a room – try geometrically-shaped lights, especially effective over a dining room table, or in a hallway – when off they still look like a work of art!
Picture Perfect Pictures, whether paintings or photos say so much about us – they are décor and a gallery of our memories. Place in vintage frames and sit back and admire your happy memories.
Work It! Do you work from home? Heavy and robust desks from days gone by are a chic addition to any living room! All you need is to find matching accessories such as a desk lamp, and you are away!
Timing Is Everything Whether in the hallway, over the fireplace or in the kitchen – a classic time piece is essential to bring chic into a home. Metallic works best in living rooms while use wooden for hallways and kitchens.
What Is In Store? Storage is important for any home but storage and style should go hand-in-hand, why not mix old and new? Think about adding a vintage wooden cabinet which makes a real statement!
Book Up! Are you a book lover? Antique bookends are the perfect accessory for your beloved page turners! Heavy and often uniquely designed, bookends are proudly a shout-out chic accessory.

Restore The Lawn!
Is your lawn in need of some TLC? If during the school holidays your lawn doubled up as Wembley, Lords or Centre Court at Wimbledon, how can you revive your lawn with some tender love and care? By Russell Cobley Lawn Feed And Weed Treatment If you have not given your lawn a feed and weed treatment, it is not too late. Lawns need a balanced supply of nutrients all year round to help them look lush and green. You can purchase an autumn lawn feed from garden centres. If you have any weeds present you still have time in early autumn to get rid of them by hand, or by using a dedicated lawn weed killer product. Just be careful not to over apply the feed and weed products, otherwise, you can cause long term lawn damage. Renovation Many lawns have a layer of organic matter on the soil surface, which limits water and nutrients from reaching the roots and encourages moss. If you have more than 2cm of thatch or moss consider raking or mechanically scarifying it out. Water daily if no rainfall is present, and for larger areas, it is advised to use a more efficient petrol scarifier. For moss, use a moss control product before lawn scarification. The soil under the lawn will have become compacted from the summer use. Compaction means the grass roots cannot

for larger areas to repair. You can use a spade to cut and slice out the patchy turf, add top soil to level then lay the new piece of turf. Remember to water daily until the roots establish in a few weeks.
grow very deep, leading to the less drought tolerant lawn as well as decreased overall grass health and appearance. To reduce compaction, it is advised to annually aerate the lawn with a hollow tine aerator machine - forking over the lawn does not relieve compaction. To thicken up the lawn, spread quality grass seed over the lawn, especially after scarification and aeration, then water daily via a sprinkler if no rainfall. In a couple of weeks, you will have lovey green shoots appearing. For smaller patches, thinly spread some top soil, add grass seed, lightly rake over then water daily. For larger areas turf can be a better approach with autumn an ideal time due to the increased rain and soil moisture to get the turf to establish. Great for either a new lawn or

Mowing And Leaves Reduced sunlight and temperatures mean slower grass growth. Time to raise the mower up a height or two and aim to cut off the tops each time. If you have trees nearby, keep any leaves off the lawn as they will cause the grass to turn yellow or kill it off in a few days. Cut back overhanging vegetation blocking the sunlight to the lawn as it will lead to a greener, less patchy area and limit moss appearing. If you are unsure of the DIY approach, or lack time, consider contacting a local lawn care company, who typically offer a free lawn survey and quote to undertake your autumn renovation.

PET CARE
Back To School
It is not just us who have enjoyed summer – our furry friends have too! Long, lazy days fi lled with petting, snacks and walks have been fun for our four legged pals, but now as we all head back to work and school, how do we keep our pets happy when we are not at home? By Shelley Welti
A
s pet owners, we feel the guilt as we leave our furry friends at home on their own, and probably never more so than after long periods of time spent at home with them, like the summer holidays. To help us all combat those feelings of guilt, here are a few top tips: Walkies and Playtime The morning routine may be hectic enough, but getting some playtime in with your puss or pooch is well worth setting the alarm clock earlier for. Not only will an early morning walk or play session benefit your pet, and tire them out for a few hours, but it will also be great for you too, with health benefits, including reducing your stress levels – exactly what we all need ahead of another busy day. Pop Back at Lunchtime Dog owners know that leaving your pooch for more than four hours is not recommended, in fact most animal charities advise that dogs left regularly for more than four hours can become agitated, unfit and unenthusiastic. If you are in a position to pop back and check on them, do so. If you are not able to make the round trip

in an hour, ask a friend, family member or neighbour to give them some company. Get Them a Play Pal Dogs are pack animals, so they enjoy being in the company of other dogs. Even aloof cats can become more homely with the addition of a new friend. Whether you choose to add a new pal to your brood or partner up with a friend who has a pup who loves to play, giving your pet a pal can stop them getting bored and pining for you. Get a Pet-Sitter If you are out all day and have no-one else to drop in and check on your pet, getting a pet-sitter is a great way of ensuring that they have attention and gives you peace of mind. There is a range of

services that most sitters offer – from feeding to walking, petting to playing.

All Day Doggy Day Care Doggy day care has become so popular with so many of us working 9.00am - 5.00pm. It gives our pooches a full day of playing, pampering and walking while socialising with other dogs too. Either drop your dog off on your way to work or many day care providers will usually pick up pampered pooches in the morning. They will then be treated them to an action-packed full day of walks, games and play with other pups, before you return home for the final walk of the day!
