Welcome

Welcome to the March Edition On page 7 we have ‘exciting news’ from Dolphin Computer Upgrades about World Backup day. We agree that it is vital to back up your files, and would like to add that you need to ensure you back up your email data too. A few years ago we lost about 2 years of email history due to an oversight in this department, so now everything is streamed to an online back up service.

Obviously you should speak to one of the IT experts who appear in the magazine to discuss the best solution for your data.

Following up on my successful completion of a couple of running events last year I’ve booked onto several sporting events this year too. One of the most fun sounding is the Heroes Run in May, organised by RISE, who also arrange the 8k undercliff run in October. I’ve opted for the 5k version of the event as I run this distance regularly so am confident of completing it. My biggest challenge will be finding a suitable costume, so far I’m favouring Wonder Woman, I’m just not sure I have the looks or the physique to get away with it! if you are interested in finding out more please see our article on page 62 of this issue.

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 126

World Backup Day Having read last month’s Deans Magazine, you’ll be aware we have been sharing our Tips and Advice with you for over 10 years. Among the recurring themes we have written about is the need to backup your computers, laptops, tablets and phones.

March 31�� is World Backup Day – barely a day goes by without there being some sort of national day, and we’d be more than willing to accept the premise that IT related “days” are perhaps the most boring. Compare this to, say, National Chocolate Cake Day, or Bring Your Dog To Work Day – how much more engaging are cake and our furbabies?

The internet has become integrated in our lives and the majority of the population have access to some form of online device. Whether we use technology for work or pleasure it plays an essential role in modern living. But the maintenance, upkeep and repairs needed for our

equipment causes us stress and inconvenience, areas we would rather not bother with.

This year alone we have had to tell too many people that all of their data has gone – their hard drives were so badly damaged that everything was lost. We have also been able to share good news and managed to retrieve all the precious data off a couple of damaged machines. You cannot prevent computers from failing, it will happen to every machine at some point – but you do have the power to ensure that everything on your computer, and your phone, remains accessible to you regardless of damage, loss or theft.

Is World Backup Day boring? It is indeed. Is it really required? Unfortunately so. If you can spare five minutes this week, just take a look at what you have on your computer and ask yourself how you would feel if you lost all of it – for good.

5 Tips for Choosing a Dementia Care Home Dementia is a progressive disease, and sadly no cure.

As the disease progresses, your loved ones’ needs may be best met in a specialist dementia care home. Nial Joyce of Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford, offers his advice on how to choose the best care setting for your loved one.

Location, location, location It might seem sensible to choose the care home nearest to you but you should also consider how close it is to other friends or relatives who wish to visit regularly. Is there ample parking and easy access via public transport? The surrounding area is important for residents – is it on a busy road, in a quite suburb, near the sea, hills and so one. Access to a garden and calming outdoor areas is highly desirable.

Plan and prepare Be aware that some of the homes you may be interested in may not have vacancies but will have waiting lists. Draw up a list of questions to ask in advance of visiting the homes. Questions should include; what services are included, ongoing staff training and staff turnover rates. It is useful to visit with a friend and compare notes afterwards. Visit more than once and at different times of day. Lunchtimes are good, as you will see the quality of the food provided and how staff interact with residents.

Music matters Enquire about activities available for residents and how these are tailored to individual needs. For example, we place emphasis on the power of music. Research shows that the auditory system of the brain seems to be the last of the senses to leave us. This is evidenced by the improvements in behaviours and engagement we witness in residents following our varied music sessions. Music appears to be able to reach those that are no longer able to communicate easily and provides great comfort.

Personal touches Ask to see a variety of room options so you can assess the space available and how you could personalise with familiar objects. The care setting should be specially designed and decorated, because dementia can affect

the way a person perceives their environment. The dĂŠcor should include highly contrasting colours and sufficient lighting. Patterns, especially on floors, can be confusing so should be avoided.

Trust your instinct Some of the most valuable advice you can receive is a personal recommendation. Ask friends and family for their suggestions, especially if they have experience in this area. Ultimately, you have to make the decision based on the needs of your loved one and where you believe they will be happiest.

At Clifden House, we strongly believe that quality of care should be a given in any care home setting. We are passionate about delivering quality of life to all our residents, regardless of how advanced their dementia is.

We will answer any questions you may have and aim to make this transition as easy as possible for you and your loved one.

We are happy to assess residents of non-dementia care homes in order to see if we are better able to meet their needs. Equally, you are very welcome to bring friends or relatives in for lunch or an activity afternoon, and maybe take a well-earned breather yourself!

Please call 01323 896460 to make an appointment.

Bridgeford’s Best Bites

Applied Kinesiology Many people think that Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a treatment, whereas it is actually a diagnostic tool that is used in combination with other standard methods of diagnosis to assess aspects of health.

What is AK? AK is a non-invasive system of evaluating how a person’s body functions using manual muscle testing as a feedback mechanism. Used correctly, it should help to evaluate the best form of treatment or therapy for an individual patient.

Basically, when a muscle does not test as functioning properly, the practitioner will investigate the reason and apply the remedy that restores normal muscle test response to help the patient. I tell my patients it is like we are using the muscle responses to have a conversation with their nervous system, as muscle testing is primarily concerned with neuromuscular function and how it relates to structural, chemical and mental physiology.

Treatments may involve joint mobilisation, myofascial techniques, cranial techniques, acupuncture meridian therapy, clinical nutrition, dietary management and various reflex procedures. After treatment, it is possible to retest to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment on the individual.

Origins of AK Doctor George Goodheart, a USA chiropractor first introduced manual muscle testing to evaluate body function in 1964. Knowledge and research into AK has grown considerably since then, expanding its dimensions as a diagnostic tool of bodily dysfunction, modifying and evolving techniques and introducing new ones. Even in the early days of AK, it was apparent how the use of many treatment methods in Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Homeopathy produced improved neuromuscular function, which could be directly measured using AK. Triad of Health In AK, balance of the major health areas is represented by each side of an equilateral triangle representing structural, chemical and mental factors of health. A person with ill health will have an imbalance in one or more aspects, distorting the triad. Each aspect can affect the other, e.g. a chemical imbalance can affect organs such as the gut or liver and affect also mental and physical health. AK helps the practitioner to evaluate the triad’s balance and apply the therapy towards creating a balance on all sides to restore health.

What can be Treated?

The basic structural issues that may take you to a healthcare practitioner, e.g. back, neck and joint pain, sciatica, headaches and migraine, postural abnormalities, disc injuries, nerve irritation, acute onset and minor sports injuries. Additionally, other functional and systemic disorders may be addressed, including hormone related issues, fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, sleep pattern and stress related disorders.

What to Expect in an AK Treatment?

When visiting an AK practitioner, expect to be involved. The practitioner will first take a detailed medical history and perform the standard diagnostic tests, followed by a variety of muscle tests to assess areas of dysfunction. They will test for basic mechanical defects, the possible connection of visceral (gland or organ) dysfunction, stress levels in the body and where indicated cranial and pelvic distortion and toxicity/allergy problems.

The practitioner and patient work together during manual muscle testing, giving the patient the opportunity to be actively involved in their treatment process. This helps the patient to have greater understanding of their treatment process and thus adopt a greater sense of responsibility towards their health; they can also experience the feedback via the muscle testing.

AK uses the principal that the body is a self-maintaining, selfcorrecting mechanism and its innate wisdom knows what is wrong; the practitioner needs to ‘ask’ the right questions to discover the nature of the imbalance and watch the body’s response when it says ’yes please’. Treatment may involve a combination of structural work, guidance in self- treatment, nutritional support, remedies and treatment to aid stress related problems.

Friends of Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve As Winter draws to a close, with Spring just around the corner, so the Scrub Bash Season comes to an end. By the end of March we will have logged 18 outings since we picked up our tools again back in September 2019, which add up to nearly 300 work hours. Not bad for a bunch of volunteers who are for the most part retired.

The areas on the North East side of the Nature Reserve that we’ve cleared this season may look a bit barren at the moment but the grass will soon fill in and once Spring kicks in we will, hopefully, be blessed with a great show of flowers.

The Scrub Bash stops in Spring as we don’t want to disturb the ground nesting Skylarks but that doesn’t mean the Friends get a rest. Off into the woods we will go to maintain and repair the steps and pathways. Along with paths we also have a session ivy ringing which is a job that is done once a year. The ivy creeps up the trees and the leaves create a canopy above that is susceptible to catching the wind, pulling the trees up and out of the ground. By ivy ringing we merely cut the stem at the base of the tree leaving a 20cm gap so that its water supply is

thwarted and thus the ivy dies. The ivy takes months to actually die down which means that any birds nests that might be up there will be empty after the Spring activity.

The 4�� of the new noticeboards has been erected at the Longhill Road entrance to the Nature Reserve. This is a dedication noticeboard that was kindly donated by an Ovingdean resident in memory of her late husband. There will be a total of 6 new noticeboards dotted around the Nature Reserve to replace the originals that were erected some 10 years ago. Never fear, the old wood will be put to good use along the paths and steps in the woods.

We always look forward to having new members so come along and join in the conservation conversation. Please join us in sturdy footwear, gardening gloves and, if you have them, bring secateurs.

The Sussex Domesday Book

What is the Domesday Book?

After the death of Edward the Confessor, Harold, Earl of Wessex, was crowned as the next Saxon King of England but this was contested by William, Duke of Normandy.

The outcome, as I am sure you know, created the most famous date in English history: 1066. This was the date of The Battle of Hastings, when Harold was defeated by William in what we call the Norman Conquest.

William gave Rottingdean to Hugh fitzGolde. The old Saxon lord at Rottingdean, Haminc, was allowed to retain a detached portion of land known as Frog Firle, Alfriston.

Latin Text which mentions Rottingdean

The Original Latin Text of the 1086 Domesday entry for ROTTINGDEAN

Bayeux Tapestry (Embroidery) depiction of Harold’s death

William the Conqueror wanted to know the value of his kingdom so he could tax it accordingly. To achieve this, he commissioned the Domesday Book of 1086.

To manage Sussex, the county was divided into six north – south strips called rapes, each controlled by a Norman baron from a castle. For their efforts they were rewarded with land taken from the Saxons.

Rottingdean was in the rape of Lewes, controlled by William de Warenne.

See us online at www.deansmagazine.co.uk

Hugo tenet de Willelmo Rotingdene in Welesmere hundredo.

Haminc tenuit de Goduino.

Tunc et modo se defendebat pro ii hidis et jacuit in FERLE quod tenet comes Moritonii in suo rapo.

Terra est ii carucarum.

Ibi sunt in dominio cum x bordariis.

T R E valebat xl solidos et post xx solidos.

Modo ix solidos A rough translation of the Latin text Hugh (fitzGolde) holds land from William (de Warenne) at Rottingdean in the Hundred of Wellsmere.

Haminc (the Saxon lord) had been the tenant of (King Harold) Godwinson.

Together with the land at Frog Firle the Rottingdean land equalled two hides. (A hide varied but would be about 100 acres) There were Ten bordars. (Smallholders with their own homes) In the reign of Edward the Confessor the land was worth 40 shillings, then 20 shillings, now 60 shillings.

(Obviously things dipped at the Conquest but assumedly improved with Norman management!)

41 Where is the real Domesday Book?

The Domesday book was so called because like the Final Judgement in the Bible it could not be appealed! The book was kept until the 13�� Century in the Exchequer at Winchester. When this moved to the Palace of Westminster the book went too. From the 1740’s it was kept in The Chapter House of Westminster Abbey. From 1859 it was kept at the Public Record Office and is now kept by its successor The National Archive, Kew. It has rarely left London but one occasion when it did so was in 1862 when it was sent to The Ordnance Survey in Southampton. This was in order that this replica could be produced using a newly developed process known as Photo-zincography with the approval of The Chancellor of the Exchequer, William Gladstone.

Fire Safety Advice Fire Kills Did you know...

•you should test your smoke alarms at least once a month?

•you should have a smoke alarm on every level of your home?

• your local Fire and Rescue Service do free home visits to make sure your home is fire safe?

The Fire Kills campaign returns early in the year promoting these, and other fire safety behaviours to adopt around the home.

Neighbourhood Watch members can support this campaign by reaching out to vulnerable and isolated neighbours to ensure their house is fire safe. Visit https://firekills.campaign.gov.uk/ for helpful

tips and advice. It only takes one accident to start a fire. Fire Kills. Let’s prevent it.

A friendly reminder as we enter a new decade When signing and dating legal documents, bills etc write the year 2020 in its entirety do not shorten to just 20! For example, 3�� March 2020 being written as 3/3/20 could be modified to 3/3/2017 or 3/3/2018 and your signature would now be on an incorrect document. Protect yourself – think before abbreviating 2020.

Host Families Sought

Pippa’s Guardians Every year, thousands of school age overseas students are educated at independent schools across the UK. When their school closes for half term holidays and exeat weekends, they need a great host family who will provide a home away from home.

Pippa’s Guardians has been providing high quality Guardianship services to international students for 21 years and understand the value of a good home and how a host family can positively impact on a student’s well being.

The families we look for are welcoming and interested in other cultures. Having children of similar ages helps (most students are between 14 and 19 years) but isn’t the most important thing as we have many successful host families who have younger children or children away at University or some that are retired with grownup children. Internet access is very important, and each student will need their own bedroom with a desk or somewhere quiet for homework.

Being part of a family and experiencing day-today family life enhances students’ study and plays a part in improving their English language.

As well as receiving a generous payment, there are many other advantages in being a host family. It is a great opportunity to introduce your family to other cultures and languages.

Sharing your traditions and family life with an overseas student and knowing that you are helping them during their time in the UK is very gratifying. Long-term friendships often develop, and many host families keep in touch with the students and their families once they are back home.

We are very keen to find families locally. Our students are currently based at Roedean School, Brighton College and Lancing College, so please do spread the word if you know anyone who might be interested.

Solutions For Saltdean How can we help nature to help us, and make the Deans even more beautiful?

We are currently facing two global environmental emergencies: biodiversity loss and climate change. Many of their underlying causes are linked to unsustainable development and our everyday actions.

Nature-based solutions are actions that work with wildlife and natural processes to help mitigate and overcome society's challenges. For example, forest restoration could counter up to two thirds of the accumulated carbon dioxide emissions in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing decisively to limit global warming below 1.5°C. Restored natural landscapes can draw down carbon from the atmosphere, and protect us from flooding.

What is so hopeful is that we can play a part in our towns by organised planting of trees and wildflowers along verges and on waste ground. We need the council's permission and cooperation to implement this on our streets but are working towards a programme of tree planting wherever possible beginning with Bannings Vale and Crowborough rd. With tree specialists we the ’ Saltdean Trees ‘group will soon be organising the planting of trees and wild flowers on the back half of roadside verges.

Saltdean Residents Association are making admirable progress with their plans to plant trees in various suitable places and Saltdean school has planted seven trees. However all of us can do more in our own gardens/outdoor spaces. Converting our gardens into car parking spaces has increased the risk of flooding and a reduction in biodiversity and beauty of our towns and villages. However it is now possible to make efficient car parking spaces combined with grass, allowing us to have the best of both worlds.

You could also consider adding small trees or bee and insect friendly flowers in pots. and in your lawns. Try to keep some of those bold little dandelions as they are one of the earliest flowers that bees love and thrive on and they really are so pretty. If you really can't bear a dandelion in your lawn why not dig them up and move them to their own little bed. The bees won't mind where they are.

We all need to work together to meet our biodiversity and climate targets in order to leave a world fit to live in for our children. We are really fortunate to live in this glorious place, let's all of us help give it the care it deserves.

Rottingdean Bowls Club There is a definite spring in the steps and smile on the faces of our members who are looking forward to the start of the 2020 outdoor season in April.

Bob Markham, one of our members, has been appointed as Vice-Captain of Sussex Bowls this year and Captain in 2021. As a result of this prestigious appointment the next two years will be very exciting with many County players and officials scheduled to visit: Indeed, a great honour for our club

The club’s AGM was held in February and Anne Sherwood was appointed President , Joe Dixon and Margaret Kimber were elected as this year’s Club captains.

Our annual coffee morning will be on March 14�� at 10.00 in Ovingdean village hall where full information regarding the 2020 season will be available One of our sponsors, InterSport , selling bowls items, will attend Date for your diary: Club Open Weekend May 2ⁿ� & 3�� More details next month

During the winter months we employed an outside specialist company to carry out extensive work to improve the bowling green while at the same time many members worked on the surrounding garden borders. Work was also carried out outside, on the area surrounding “The Green” where footpaths had become badly overgrown with ivy and unruly shrubs. Our dedicated ‘gardeners’ have enhanced not only the approach to the Bowling Club but also the approach to Rottingdean village complementing the great work done by volunteers of Rottingdean in Bloom.

Local Photographer Local photographer Andy Brentnall has submitted this amazing picture to us. His description of the scene is: 'This rainbow was captured from Grand Ocean looking east towards Telscombe Tye.'

Cinema Saltdean

Judy

(Cert 12A) Tragic, Sensational Biopics owe a lot to whoever is in charge of editing them. ‘Rocketman’, last month’s offering at Cinema Saltdean, owned up to being a fantasy but, importantly, its editor was none other than Sir Elton himself. Maybe there is more latitude with biopics that concern subjects who are no longer with us.

‘Judy’, a biopic about Judy Garland who died on 22 June 1969. This is Renee Zellweger's Oscar-winning performance, playing the part with on-stage verve and vigour and off-stage vulnerability.

Down on her uppers and with a reputation that branded her ‘difficult’ (and broke), U.S. hotels became less likely to want her to stay with them.

Tour dates were becoming fewer. Life had become hard without a manager. London beckoned and, despite a resistance to cross the pond because of having to leave her children in the States (“I have to leave my children to go and earn enough money to be with my children”), Judy arrived in London, in 1968, thirty years after ‘The Wizard of Oz’, to headline at The Talk of the Town, a prestigious venue. Unsupported, without her children, but being offered a new lease of life with an already adoring fan-base; what could go wrong? Well, drug misuse, alcoholism, a marriage break-up and custody struggles, to name but a few, that all contributed to the turmoil during Garland’s London run.

On arrival in London, Judy is assigned a personal assistant, Rosalyn Wilder, played by Jessie Buckley (‘Wild Rose’, ‘Chernobyl’ ‘Taboo’) as an efficient, nononsense character, who, in reality, tried to save Judy during this turbulent period.

Being forcibly signed up to a boot camp was no different from being under contract to MGM; except at boot camp they give you breaks.

filming of ‘The Wizard of Oz’, all served to increase Judy’s resilience and nurture her rebellious streak.

These were tools that she would later need in coping with her private life.

‘Judy’ comes alive when Zellweger is on stage, which doesn’t happen until over thirty minutes into the film. There are terrific moments both during the onand off-stage sequences, as Judy battles with stage fright, becomes unable to sing, and turns up late for her opening night: there is much tension in the air.

Off-stage, there is the constant longing for true friendship and love and the battling with her own demons. The essence of Garland is here; proud, brash, vulnerable and indefatigable. There is also the saddest version of (ironically) ‘Get Happy’ that you will ever hear, as the film nods in the direction of Garland’s gay icon status.

Director Rupert Goold (‘King Charles II’, ‘True Story’ and ‘The Hollow Crown’) keeps things moving at a good pace; and his handling of the stage numbers is perfect.

Judy Garland died six months after the London gigs.

Another Oscar winner next month: it’s ‘‘Joker’.

All of this supervised by ‘camp commandant’, Louis B Mayer (Richard Cordery – ‘The Wife’, ‘About Time’) presenting as a benevolent figure to Judy, yet actually being the monster at the heart of all things.

12 Months, 12 Challenges Local Chris Page aims to complete 12 challenges in 12 months for Martlets Energetic Saltdean resident has Chris Page has completed his first two challenges as part of a year of adventures to raise money for Martlets in memory of his Grandma, Betty Smith who was cared for by the hospice.

Marathon on the 8th March and an inflatable 5k on the 10th May.

Chris committed to completing 12 challenges in 12 months to raise money after his close friend came up with the idea to do something different to raise money.

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/chris-page33 or head to www.martlets.org.uk to sign up to one of their events I know all the money raised goes to an amazing cause.

So far I have been able to raise an incredible £870 and am so grateful for all the encouragement from friends and family – including Rebecca!

I just hope to keep going and raise as much as possible for this amazing charity. Any help would be fantastic my Just Giving page is

Chris who works for Visions Holiday Group commented: “I have always liked a challenge and this time I wanted to take on something big and really push myself all year to achieve a personal goal and to fundraise for Martlets.

“When Gran was ill she really wanted to stay in her own home where she felt comfortable and secure. Martlets cared for her so well at home and gave her amazing end of life care and I felt that I wanted to do something to say thank you and to help other people in a similar situation.

“The idea for doing 12 challenges in 12 months all started when I went on holiday with my close friend, Rebecca, to South Africa and there was an ‘Ultra Trail’ event happening in Cape Town that she persuaded me to do. The challenge was the hardest thing I have ever done but it made me want to keep on pushing myself, so when Rebecca suggested why not do 11 more and make it a year of challenges - I had to say yes!”

“I haven’t done anything like this before and I’ll probably be exhausted by the end of the year, but knowing I am doing it for such a great cause will keep me going. I have so far completed the Cape Town Ultra Trail 21k and Guildford Trail 10k. The weather has meant that I wasn’t able to do the Worthing Half Marathon or the Tunbridge Wells Half as both events were cancelled so my next challenge is the Richmond Half

Upcoming Event

Heroes Run Super heroes RISE! It’s back! The biggest super-hero themed fun run returns to Hove Lawns on Sunday 17�� May 2020 and it’s going to be better and more heroic than ever. Book now and save 20% until the end of January.

People from around Sussex will come together, decked out in their favourite superhero garb, to raise money for local domestic abuse charity RISE. All the money raised from the run will go directly towards funding RISE’s vital services, including the refuge, helpline, counselling, and group therapy.

Among last year’s nearly 400 runners was four-year-old Wonderwoman Ce-ce Royal from Portslade (pictured below).

She said, “I really enjoyed the RISE Heroes Run. I liked getting to wear fancy dress and run with my friends, and I can’t wait to do it again!” She got to cross the finish line twice when she joined her Auntie who was taking part in the adult race dressed as the Incredible Hulk.

The perfect event for the whole family to attend, there will be activities and games for everyone to take part in on the day, including face painting and a return of last year’s popular dog fancy dress show (pictured below).

If you’d like to enter the funniest, happiest, wackiest race in the UK, visit www.heroesrun.uk.

See us online at www.deansmagazine.co.uk

Please note that this is a fundraising event for RISE. Your registration fee helps us to cover the cost of running this event, but it’s your fundraising / donations which help fund our vital services, supporting families who have been affected by domestic abuse. A fundraising target of £50 will make a huge difference to us, but of course we are grateful for every penny.

We are also in need of superhero volunteers to help with runner registration, stewarding and staffing the water station, so if you can lend a hand please contact RISE on fundraising@riseuk.org.uk.

Pain Therapist Penny Koster Myofascial Release - the gentle release of connective tissue. I have a beautiful log cabin in my garden where I work from, it is an incredibly relaxing and gentle space.

I have been a therapist for many years, I have a lot of different qualifications and training, but the therapy I am most passionate about and know first‐hand works completely is myofascial release, myofascia is the connective tissue which joins everything together, covers everything, fills all the gaps holds you together, it has the memory of your life, it relays messages to your brain faster than the nervous System, every single thing that happens to you in your life whether it be good or bad is stored in your subconscious and your fascial system, The fascia is like a giant web made up of collagen, elastin and ground substance it covers you from top to toe with no orifices unlike your skin, it moves constantly within your body, it penetrates, covers, protects every organ, muscle, ligament, tendon, bones everythingwe are fascia, scar tissue is damaged fascia that has gone hard and dehydrated, that is why generally women get more lower back problems then men because they have hysterectomies, C-sections and end up with fascia that is damaged, dehydrated and hard (scar tissue) so no longer moves and consequently pulls on areas like the lower back, fascia can become hardened dehydrated and stop moving and therefore cause problems, discomfort, pain, disease for many many different reasons I generally call it life. Another example because we are one complete unit everything is connected you could have a pain in your shoulder and the pain could possibly originate in your lower back, or maybe your neck or both. Myofascial release is being called the missing link and I passionately believe this to be true, I believe in the not too distant future everyone will be having these treatments. The

cause of discomfort, pain is the collagen layer of the fascia, this is the layer that has to be released from its stuck, dehydrated, no longer moving position! An Analogy if you step on a hosepipe the flow is impaired. I am highly trained in myofascial release, I am trained to Body read to know where the problem is and then to un-stick it.. The whole world needs to know about this treatment! I feel very passionately that everyone should understand how it works, and as much as possible be able to do it to themselves and each other. There is no such thing as 'I have that pain because I'm getting old' No-one needs to have pain!

Exceptions being if you break a leg or have an accident et cetera, I give these treatments which are extremely powerful but at the Same time very gentle, I also educate people so that they can self-care in the future and when they have a pain they understand why it's happening, and what they can do about it, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS TO BE IN PAIN. Everyone is different sometimes it takes longer than others, IT IS WORTH THE WAIT! If you're interested in having a treatment and want to learn more about myofascial release and myself please go to: www.trigger-points.me.uk or phone me on 07951 117826

Stand With Us For most people in England women’s football is a new phenomenon inspired by the exploits of the English women’s senior team in the last two World Cups. For others, like the ladies of Saltdean United Women FC it is part of their daily lives.

Saltdean Ladies, also known as the ‘Tigers’ are a newly established side who were created in 2017/18. They are connected to Saltdean FC, play in Hill Park in Saltdean and train in BACA. It was the first time in the club’s history that they had a ladies’ team and the club are now looking to progress and build a youth team for the girls’ section.

After recruiting many local players, the ladies competed in the Sussex County Women & Girls Football League (SCWGFL) in the 17/18 season where they finished in second position behind local neighbours, Newhaven Ladies. Saltdean Ladies gained promotion to the South East Counties Women’s League – Premier in 2018 and had a very successful year. They gained promotion yet again to step 5 in the women's pyramid but also lifted the League Cup trophy after beating Ashford 2-1 in the final.

In the Summer of 2019, the club decided to change their name to Saltdean United Women FC in a statement to make a clear signal of togetherness and unity at the club but also keeping with modern day thinking on equality. The Tigers are now competing in the London and South East Premier against teams such as Queens Park Rangers

Development and Fulham Fc. This was a big step up for them and the team are currently 8th in the league.

Injuries played a big part in some poor results with a lack of squad depth hurting the team. Since Christmas however, there has been a change in mood and results.

The Tigers with a couple of new signings in the January transfer window are finally playing the football they are capable of. The team finally understands that they are where they are supposed to be and each one of them should be proud of the work and commitment they have shown and now is the time to step up and push on to the next level that they are all capable of reaching. Now is the time to be ambitious. The short-term aim for the club is to stay up this year and then next year, the aim is very simple, promotion to the national league. This will only be possible with the support of the people of Brighton and if you are a member of this club and community when that happens it will be something special.

Football should be a community sport and that is what it is in Saltdean. So why not come and be part of the Saltdean Women FC family, become a tiger and roar us on in Hill Park, in Saltdean, on Sunday 1st March at 2pm when the girls take on Dulwich Hamlet. Take the first step and stand with us.
