Centre's future to be agreed A NEW deal is being finalised which could keep a popular centre open in Bognor Regis for years to come. THe provisional agreement will secure the Laburnum Centre’s future until 2034 if it is agreed. Arun District Council, which owns the centre, and its operator, Age UK West Sussex, have been
discussing the contract. Cllr Michael Clayden, Arun’s cabinet member for community wellbeing, has authorised his officers to enter into what is called a service level agreement with Age UK West Sussex. THis document will see the charity provide services at the Lyon Street centre for 15 years for a cumulative
fee of £256,000. A similar agreement has been compiled for services in the east of the district. His reason for making the decision was given by the council as: ‘to maintain thriving activity centres for older people and to achieve best value for the council’.

French theme to park's Rox event STUDENT organisers of a family event in Bognor Regis are looking forward to saying 'Bonjour!' to visitors. THe Rox Spectacular they are staging in Hotham Park tomorrow with a French flavour promises to be a day of activities, musical treats and traders and caterers from the area to experience. THe free event, themed to the hit musical and film Moulin Rouge, will have stalls, food and entertainment from 11am-5pm. It is the latest staging of the everpopular Rox in the Park annual event partnership between the University of Chichester's event management students and Rox Music and Arts in Bognor Regis. Student event manager Hannah Jarvis said: "Working closely with the Rox Music and Arts charity has been incredibly fulfilling and has provided us with a purpose to make the event right. "THis is not just about us completing this as a part of our course, but ensuring that Rox is represented in the best light, and doing the best we can to provide them with more opportunities to being the spectacular Rox festival back to the seafront soon." THe Rox Spectacular in the park is a miniature version of the popular music and arts extravaganza which packed out THe Esplanade and promenade initially every year followed by the grounds of the Royal Norfolk Hotel. THe students have been working tirelessly to raise money to support Rox
Music and Arts in creating the event and have raised £1,640.88 to date through the support of the community. Showcasing some wonderful acts, Rox Spectacular is in line with Rox Music and Arts' mission to support talent in the surrounding area. THis year's line-up features: Ali Shepherd, Musical THeatre Society, Illegal Tender, Hannah Richards, Razzamataz Bognor Regis, Steph Baron and Arabesque School of Performing Acts. THe day will open with a ceremony from the Bognor Regis town crier, Jane Smith, and Cllr Stephen Reynolds, the town mayor. After this introduction, the eccentric and fun hosts - Lewis Haycock and Nick Carmichael - will take the guests through the rest of the day. A perfect selection of sweet and savoury treats will be on sale to take those enjoying themselves through the day. Also around the park will be oldfashioned games, a scavanger hunt, arts and crafts and traders from around Bognor Regis and Chichester. THe Sussex Wildlife Trust and St Wilfrid's Hospice will also be present to give the community a day filled with things to do to start the summer season. Kiwi Recruitment has sponsored the occasion to allow the event managers to invest in some spectacular and surprising things to delight those present.
School hall is given planning approval to provide more room PUPILS at a Bognor Regis school will benefit from improved dining facilities. A new hall and temporary main reception at Nyewood C of E Junior School has been granted planning permission. West Sussex County Council has given the go-ahead for the work at the site in Brent Road. THe scheme has been backed subject to conditions about such matters as the management of the building work, drainage and lighting. A statement issued by the council with the decision says the school has some 360 pupils aged
between seven and 11. "THis number has increased over recent years to meet the need for pupil places within the Bognor Regis area. "THe proposed development would provide the school with increased hall facilities to support school activities/sport and allow additional space for dining. "In addition, a new main entrance to the school is proposed on the northern elevation of the school to give it a new identity and aid direction." THe changes will also enable existing space in the school to be changed to better suit its needs.

f From left: the Rev Brian Shersby, Patty Phillips and Bognor Regis RAFA's David Hewings TWO generations of air force servicemen were remembered at a wreath-laying service in Felpham. THe wartime sacrifice of the four-strong bomber crew who crashed close to the seafront was recalled, along with the life of former Sergeant Brian Hay. THe RAF red, white and blue roundel wreath used for Sgt Hay's funeral was also used to pay tribute to the Second World War airmen. THe service at the Sea Road memorial to the crew was led by the Rev Brian Shersby, the chaplain to the RAFA Branch 381 in Bognor Regis, on Tuesday. Mr Shersby said he conducted Mr Hay's funeral the previous week. "It was suggested that the wreath which was given in memory of Brian should be, as it were, recycled and laid at the memorial of crew of the Hampden bomber
which crashed close to this spot just over 77 years ago. So, for this reason, we gather his morning. "We remember the crew of the bomber who lost their lives. None of them were even close to reaching their 30s. "We also remember Brian, who was twoand-a-half years old when those men died." THe bomber crashed on the night of April 14/15, 1942. Its intended target was the port of Le Havre in Nazi-occupied France. "We don't know with any certainty why the Hampden crashed but it seemed as if an engine was on fire," said Mr Shersby. "Eye-witnesses say it was spiralling down. THe aircraft crashed into marshland just over the way." Its crewmen died instantly. THey were Sgt Stanley Culmer, the pilot, Sgt Ronald Nation, Sgt James Hutchison and Sgt Dennis Manning.
Flt Lt Malcolm Penberthy, of RAFA's Sussex Wing, said: "If we don't remember them, their sacrifice will be forgotten. "THe service also shows some of the impact of the war on the local area." Mr Hay, 79, served in the RAF for 25 years. Most of that time was spent with Hercules aircraft. He was mentioned in the 1974 Queen's birthday honours list and her new year's honours in 1976. But his sister, Middleton resident Patty Phillips, said: "He never told us anything like this. "He really was the most wonderful person. He had a very quiet demeanour and never boasted about anything." Mr Hay served in the RAF for 25 years around the world. He spent the final month in Felpham before his death from dementia. He previously lived at Horley, having worked for BA for many years.

THOUSANDS of extra visitors made Bognor Regis boom at Easter. THe town centre and seafront was packed as temperatures peaked above 80F in constant sunshine. THe Easter entertainment staged by the town's business improvement district (BID) members played a role in attracting visitors into the shopping area. THe busiest day of the weekend was last Saturday. Footfall figures from the camera-based tracking technology supplied to the BID recorded 16,623 people between 9am and 5pm. THis was a 24 per cent increase on the 13,409 on the same day last year. THe biggest percentage increase over the four days last year was seen on Monday. THis year's 10,484 visitors was up 83 per cent, compared to the prior year. Paul Wells, the BID's chairman, said: "It was a brilliant weekend for the town. "THere were a lot of things going on between us and other organisations in the town and having the Spirit FM roadshow helped to give us exposure before the weekend. "THe weather also played a major part in enticing people out and the fact Easter was three weeks later this year." THe total number of visitors during the four days as counted by the Springboard tracking came to some 50,000 to make it well over 2018. Mr Wells said the vibrancy of the bank holiday weekend was reflected in the opening of two businesses in the town - the Sweet Flamingo ice cream shop in
the Place St Maur and the Yours clothes shop in the London Road precinct. "Businesses are starting to see the town as a place to invest in," said Mr Wells. "THe figures show - after our success at Christmas - that these events do bring people in. "THat has to be a good thing for everyone in the town centre. THe more people who are here, the more it benefits them. "Generally, the town centre is doing OK - and we will be looking forward to putting on more events later in the year to boost it. "We will be staging activities for hallowe'en in October and staging another special Christmas programme. "THere are a number of activities taking place during the summer and the BID will be supporting the organisations who are staging them. "It's all about working together as a town and the footfall figures show we are making progress." THe BID was also committed to making a success of its THursday and Saturday markets in the precinct. "We want to make that more of an attraction for people to come in and see but it is a step by step process. "We want to make sure we get the right stallholders and also monitoring the products which are on sale." Temperatures at Andrew Goodwill's weather station at his Bognor Regis home reached 81.5F (27.5C) last Saturday. Good Friday was close behind at 25.2C (79.7F) See page ten

Homes plan is criticised HUNDREDS of extra planned homes have been criticised by councillors in Bognor Regis. A new application for up to 300 homes on farmland in Pagham has been submitted by developer Hallam Land Management. THe company’s first proposal for Hook Lane was rejected by Arun District Council on highways safety grounds. It has appealed against the decision. THe inquiry will begin on October 22 and is set to last for three days. But the firm has sought to avoid the need for the appeal to be held by submitting the proposal for a second time. Bognor Regis Town Council’s planning and licensing committee said on Tuesday the scheme would be an overdevelopment which would affect all the surrounding area. Cllr Pat Dillon (C, Pevensey) said many reasons existed to object to the proposal. THey were based around infrastructure and the impact of the extra housing on the road network in the area. “THey can’t seem to grasp the fact that 1,200 houses is going to instigate something in the region of another 2,500 vehicles on the roads – the developers, West Sussex County Council, the Planning Inspectorate, all of them," he said. “It’s going to have an horrendous impact on all of this area if the developers win the appeal and it is going to cost Arun District Council a lot of money.” He said the proposal for the extra housing would see an additional access
f The Easter Sunday service on the beach
made from the estate on to Pagham Road. But it was a road with a history of a lot of accidents. THe junction of Hook Lane and Pagham Road was a particular hotspot because of the proximity of the bus stop. Cllr Jeanette Warr (LD, Hotham) said: “THat impact will be so serious, it’s unbelievable. To get from A-B at certain times of the day is almost impossible now. "With the 745 houses already approved, the impact on the roads is going to be detrimental. It is going to be a complete over-development of the area. “THat could be one reason we can object to. Another 300 houses on top of the 745 houses will cause chaos. THere’s already chaos without the 745.” Cllr Sandra Daniells (I, Pevensey) said: “We should say enough is enough. We are adding our weight to their (Pagham’s) objections.” Cllr Steve Goodheart (I, Hotham) said: “THe application for the extra 300 homes is the straw that broke the camel’s back.” Cllr Dillon abstained from the committee’s decision because of his planning role with Arun. THe latest application has seen 21 letters of objection submitted to Arun by Wednesday morning. THe original application attracted 480 letters and a petition of 1,232 names. Hallam claims the refusal of its plans was unfair. THree other housing proposals in Pagham were backed by Arun and the developers had combined to create road improvements to satisfy county highways officers, it stated.
Seafront service is fitting way to enjoy churches' special day SOME 80 Christians gathered at Climping beach to mark the most important day in their religious calendar. THey met on the seafront around a bonfire at sunrise on Easter Sunday - the day that commemorates the miraculous resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion on Good Friday. Members of the congregations of St Mary's Church in Yapton, St Mary's in Climping and St Andrew's in Ford were joined by worshippers from other
churches in the area for the occasion under a clear blue sky. Tim Bell, press officer for St Mary's Church in Yapton, said: "We sang hymns and shared in the bread and wine which are key features of the Christian Eucharist. "THe Rev Richard Hyaes, the rector of the three Anglian churches, lit the bonfire and led the singing. "THis was the 15th year he had led the event."

Safety fears about mobile phone mast plan for town OBJECTIONS have been made by councillors to a giant mobile phone mast planned for Bognor Regis town centre. THe 10m-high mast is sought for the top of Fitzleet House by telecoms companies EE and THree to replace six antennas. But fears about its impact on the historic surrounding area of THe Steyne and concerns about its safety in such an exposed position led Bognor Regis town councillors to oppose it. THe planning and licensing committee members said they wanted Arun District Council to make the final decision based on a range of factors. THe committee had heard from two residents at the meeting of their fears about the health effects of 5G technology. Cllr Pat Dillon (C, Pevensey) said the mast would be much more visible on top of the 15-storey tower block in Queensway than the existing equipment. “THis is going to be out of keeping and out of character with the area. How safe is it in the strong winds that we get? THey are the only things we can really object to," he said. Cllr Sandra Daniells (I, Pevensey) said: “It’s going to have a very big impact on that area in terms of its visibility. If we are going to object, we would have to say about that impact on THe Steyne. We can only object to it being in a conservation area. We can’t object to it on health grounds.” But the committee’s chairman, Cllr Jeanette Warr (LD, Hotham) said: “We owe it to ourselves and members of the public. We are all aware there are great concerns about the problems. We should object as much as we can and let it to go to Arun.
THis is a very serious issue.” THe planning application made by MBNL on behalf of EE and THree had seen three objections by Wednesday morning. One of them was made by Frances Ranson, of Hillsboro Road, who spoke to town councillors at the meeting. She told Arun: “As I understand it, 5G uses the same technology that the military and police use as a weapon to harm human beings or wildlife. “It will most definitely have a detrimental biological effect on all life: plants, trees, birds, animals and people, as it is already (been) proven in the armed forces. “5G gives out a low level high millimetre wave frequency of radiation that is much more powerful than 4G to enable it to enter through brick walls etc which means we will be subject to the radiation also. “I feel it will be an assault on me in my home as once implemented, nowhere is free of this electromagnetic pollution.” In a statement with the application, MBNL’s planning agent, Daly International, said: “5G operates across multiple spectrums and therefore requires additional antennas and new equipment cabinets. THe signals that are broadcast are more prone to the shadowing effect of adjacent buildings or structures, and also the ‘clipping’ effect of building edges. "Consequently, the location of antennas on existing rooftops is critical to its effectiveness. ...the broadcast levels will also be within agreed International Commission for Non-Ionising Radiation Protection) guidelines.”

From page one for the residents of Bognor Regis and Arun as a whole.” THe Laburnum Centre was opened by the council in 1990. It ran the services until 2006 when it commissioned Age UK West Sussex to provide a day activity service to help to improve the quality of life for older adults, particularly those who could be socially isolated. THe work on the agreement which is being finalised was agreed by Arun’s cabinet members last July in a confidential discussion. THe minutes of the meeting state: ‘…although cabinet was aware that the day activity service was a discretionary function, it was recognised that Arun District Council had a history (over 28 years) of supporting its residents to live long, active, independent and healthy lives whatever their circumstances. ‘Members were particularly proud of the council’s purpose-built Laburnum Centre that continued to provide a valued service.’ THe centre, in Lyon Street, is managed by Sarah Smith and has some 1,000 members aged over 50. THey can enjoy more than 80 activities on weekdays. Members of its family history group said they enjoyed meeting at the centre each week. Brian Ayres, 83, said: “It’s about meeting so many people. Most of the people in Bognor Regis who come here have roots elsewhere. “What is nice about it is the diversity of the people who come here and the sheer variety of activities they do.” Fellow member George Winter, 73, said: “Everyone is friendly and jolly. "It’s worth coming here. You can exchange ideas with other people.”
Centre's family secrets ROYALTY, murderers and prostitutes have been brought to life at a Bognor Regis centre. THe diverse range of characters have resulted from the research carried out by the Laburnum Centre's family history enthusiasts. THe group of up to 20 individuals helps members of the centre uncover the lives of their ancestors through censuses and birth certificates. It takes just a name, a birthday and a birthplace and the hunt into the past can begin. Margaret Petzold, 81, the group's assistant organiser, said: "All those things a person has been told about their family, they will find out are not true. "Someone has found they are descended from William III, another person is a descendant of Guy Fawkes and we have uncovered murderers, lunatics and prostitutes. It's absolutely fascinating once you get hooked." THe group's organiser, Brian Ayres, 83, has traced his family back to the 1670s, just after the English Civil War.
He said: "It's not just about how far back you can go. It can help you find out about history. It puts the name into the context of history. You start researching the period, such as the reign of Charles II, and you get a good idea of what was going on." THe group meets from 10.30am-12.30pm on Fridays at the centre in Lyon Street and again in the afternoon. THe morning session involves helping newcomers and those unsure of using online information to get to grips with the research. Once that has been established, they use the later meetings to carry out their own research. THis is helped by the centre's access to a family history website and its large database of information. Jenny Timoney, 77, used her delving into the past to uncover her family's French roots. "THey came over with the Huguenots from France. Quite a few of them were shipwrecked on a beach in north Cornwell. THey were from Mablet but that was corrupted in this country to the name Mably, and those name changes happen a lot."

Call over new seafront plan A CALL has been made for new outlets on Bognor Regis seafront to be visually exciting. Town councillor Steve Goodheart said he wanted the structures to add a different appeal to the promenade. "THey should be contemporary structures, a bit more adventurous and a bit more exciting than usual," he told his fellow councillors at a meeting on Tuesday. He said he had spoken to Arun District Council several years ago about the need for newer kiosks along THe Esplanade as part of his regeneration plans for the town. He feared the proposed outlets would not create the right impression for the important area. "I would love Arun to come and visit the seafront and I would like to make suggestions to them," said Cllr Goodheart (I, Hotham). His comments came as Bognor Regis Town Council's planning and licensing committee agreed to make no objection to Arun's plans for three new food and drink outlets on the seafront. But its members said the proposals should comply with the neighbourhood plan they compiled some four years ago to control development in the town. Glenna Frost, the town council's clerk, said in its formal response to the application: "In particular, promenade cafes, eateries, retail and information outlets should be relevant to the beach and seafront experience, visitor needs, and be focused around the five specific beach service points/hubs as indicated
on the key priorities map within the neighbourhood plan. "Any development proposal on the seafront at these service points will be expected to maintain the visual integrity of the key views and vista defined in the Bognor characterisation study 2014 from the town out to the sea and along the seafront. "Any alterations and additions to the seafront will need to assess (the) potential impact on the Bognor Reef Site of Special Scientific Impact and take any measures necessary to remove any adverse effects on the reef." Arun is seeking planning approval from itself to change the use of three sites on the seafront for temporary food and drink outlets and other seaside uses. THe locations are just east of the pier, next to the beacon and close to Butlin's. Cllr Pat Dillon (C, Pevensey) said: "THese are only temporary structures. If they don't work, they will get taken away. "If they do work, they could possibly lead to something more long term and make that seafront come alive again." THe committee's chairman, Cllr Jeanette Warr (LD, Hotham) said the seafront should be a 'quirky, seasonal place'. "Arun's idea of our seafront is different from what the majority of people would like our seafront to look like. "Most of the general public would prefer to have our seafront to have more Victorian styling," she said. A statement with Arun's plans says the use of the spaces and the nature of each outlet would be vetted and licensed by the councill.
Plans to create tourism rooms at historic building in Felpham TOURIST accommodation could be formed from offices in Felpham. THe Sussex Autistic Community Trust has applied for a change of use for its premises in Summerley Lane. THe trust wants the building to become a dwelling with B&Bs attached. A statement by its planning agent, Richard Vickery, says: "THe original 18th century structure and later rear extension would form the main body of the house...providing three to four bedrooms. "THe future intention for the remaining wing fronting the B2259...is to adapt the internal layout of the area
denoted as flatlets 1, 2 and 3, together with the rooms above to provide 'bed and breakfast' accommodation. "THe proposed 'bed and breakfast' accommodation would not comprise self-contained flats. "THe proposed change of use and improvements have been discussed with local residents who are in support of the proposals." THe property comprises three elements. THe original is a two-storey house, with an extension added to the back. A later two-storey wing was added. A single-storey building could have been old outbuildings or a forge.
ELECTORS around Bognor Regis have been urged to use their vote in next week's elections. THursday will see them given the chance to choose their Arun district councillors for the next four years. THose who live in Bognor Regis and Middleton, and an area of Aldwick, will also be voting for their parish councillors. Polling stations will be open from 7am-10pm on THursday. Polling cards, with the polling station for each voter, have been distributed to all those who registered in time. As well as those voting in person, postal votes cast must be received at the Arun Civic Centre in Littlehampton or at a polling station in the voter's area by 10pm next THursday. THe count for all the elections will take place during next Friday. Results will be updated to the Arun District Council website - arun.gov.uk - and the council's Twitter feed, @ArunDistrict.
Nigel Lynn, the returning officer for the Arun district, said: "We are really looking forward to seeing a good turnout at polling stations on May 2. "We really encourage members of the public to get out there and vote for their local councillors. "Having a say in the way their communities and localities are run is so important and we hope to see that reflected on THursday." All 54 seats in the 23 wards of Arun District Council will be up for election. Every seat on the parish councils in the Bognor Regis area were also advertised for election. But - with exception of Bognor Regis, Middleton and Aldwick - too few candidates came forward to mean the elections were uncontested. THose candidates who did stand for election were returned unopposed. Full coverage of the elections will be reported in the Bognor Regis Post on May 10.

` Manager jailed A FELPHAM care home's manager has been jailed for defrauding its residents. Bryony Treloar was sentenced at Worthing Magistrates' Court on Wednesday to a year in prison after she had pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud by false representation. She was jailed for six months for each offence to run consecutively. She was also ordered to pay £1,960.94 in compensation to the home. Treloar, 39, of Dorset Road, Bognor Regis, was entrusted with caring for 70 vulnerable people at Summerley Care Home in Southview Road. However, she used that position to systematically steal 'pocket money' provided to 17 of the residents by their families to pay for personal items and services such as haircuts, hygiene products, newspapers and clothing. PC Robynn Gordon, who investigated the allegations, said: "We and the relatives are pleased with the positive outcome of this trial, which highlights that abuse of such a position, with vulnerable victims who trusted their manager as a carer and a friend, will be given an appropriate sentence reflecting the serious nature of such heartless offending."
` Jewellery stolen JEWELLERY was stolen in two burglaries around Bognor Regis on the same day. One of the properties broken into on April 13 was in Wordsworth Gardens in Felpham and the other was in Murina Avenue, Bognor Regis.

Activities ensure Easter weekend is a success for the town centre AN Easter 'eggsperience' ensured a cracking time for everyone in busy Bognor Regis town centre. THe shopping area's biggest programme of events to mark the first bank holiday after the winter was another triumph. An array of activities, added to the constant sunshine and temperatures up to 27C, ensured plenty of activity around the London Road area. THe Easter celebration was the first to be staged by Bognor Regis Business Improvement District (BID) members. BID chairman Paul Wells said: "We had a whole weekend programme of fun alongside the switch on and fireworks by the Bognor Regis Seafront Lights. "Our day of activities on Saturday in the town centre, with the Spirit FM roadshow, gave the area a real holiday feel. "THe sun shone as well and the whole day was absolutely brilliant. "THis was all about bringing the town centre to life. It's about promoting footfall and encouraging people to spend their money with the retailers here, the coffee shops and the restaurants. "THe longer people stay in the town centre, the more money they are likely to spend. "We want to bring the town centre up to a level of expectation where people want to visit here and a have good time. "THe events we held during the day perfectly complemented the funfair on the seafront and the fireworks and illuminations switch-on at night." THe weekend's 'eggstravaganza' came
after the success of the BID's programme of entertainment last Christmas. THis helped footfall numbers in the town centre to buck the national decline in the amount of shoppers visiting high streets. THe main Easter event in the bustling town centre from last THursday to Sunday was the bunny hop rabbit hunt. Entrants had to find 20 rabbits hidden in Bognor Regis shops and write their names on the back of the promotional leaflet. THe rabbits were decorated by children in the area who ran a competition run by town centre shop Unique Knit and Sew during the Easter holiday. A total of 100 rabbits were judged and the best 20 were chosen for the bunny hunt. THe winner of the hunt was selected at random in a lucky dip. Street performances throughout last Saturday also added to the holiday mood. Chic Eggs and Fairy Performance took to the precinct three times during Saturday morning and afternoon followed by the Mad Hatter and Jovial Rabbit. THe Mad Hatter kept spectators of all ages enthralled with his juggling skills and chatter. A mobility scooter parade was staged by Queensway shop Mobility and Comfort after the success of their initial procession at Christmas. Ten of the scooter owners took part in the town centre tour in their specially decorated vehicles. THey were joined by children, dressed in Easter costumes.
Mobility and Comfort owner Micky Donnelly said: "We're doing this to have a lot of fun. We had the same number of scooters at Christmas and, even though it was windy and raining, everyone had a great time. "THey all said they wanted to do it again and we've got some children with us this time as well. "Everyone who was out in the town centre last time, apart from one person, who said they couldn't get past, absolutely loved the parade." One of those who took part at Christmas and was back again was Gainsboro Road resident Maureen Matthews. THe 75-year-old said: "It was a great time at Christmas and I really enjoyed it. I didn't get wet because I wore waterproof clothing. "We had a good reaction from people, who were pleased to see us. Everyone who took part was really friendly and I'm looking forward to taking part again." BID administrator Heather Allen said the Easter success would pave the way for more special occasions in the town centre. "THe day has gone really well with a fantastic turnout. We are going to be doing other events in the summer. "We want to bring people into the High Street and for the High Street to be a vibrant part of the community," she said. "We want it to be a place that peope want to come to."

Unique play booked for library
ACTORS will bring a story about a woman's life with a serious medical condition to a new audience in Bognor Regis. Human Story THeatre Company will be performing its criticallyacclaimed play about dementia to the town's library. THe performance of Connie's Colandar at the library, in London Road, will take place at 2pm on May 24 during the national dementia action week. It will be followed by a Q & A session with a medical or care expert about the issues that have been covered. Dr Marion Lynch, the dementia expert and deputy medical director for NHS England South, said the play had a valuable role in enabling dementia to be discussed. "Connie gives us permission to laugh and cry about our own situation, the roles lost and responsibilities gained when living with dementia, and notice that we are not alone," she said. "More of this would lead to a different view on what it is to grow old and care for those who need our help." Connie's Colander was written by Human Story THeatre's Gaye Poole and is being staged in libraries and community spaces around England in the next two months. Connie is a retired domestic science teacher. Her daughter, Emily, is enjoying hosting her first TV cookery show, Connie's Colander, bringing her mother's onscreen and up to date. THe hour-long play traces the evolving relationship throughout their lives, and the impact of Connie's Alzheimer's. It tackles the issue of whether their relationship and the TV show can
survive the condition. After the play, the actors facilitate a 20-minute Q & A session with guest specialists, offering information and stories of living well with dementia, and encourage the audience to share their own experiences. Arts Council England's libraries director, Sue Williamson, said: "An awful lot of people who are interested or touched by these issues don't feel safe in a theatre, but they do feel comfortable in their local library." Dementia affects 850,000 people in the UK, according to the Alzheimer's Society. THe number is expected to rise to more than one million by 2025 and two million by 2051. THe charity estimates 225,000 people will develop dementia this year alone. Gaye runs Human Story New THeatre with Amy Enticknap. THey focus on plays with a health and social care issue at heart. "Our aim is to be accessible to all," said Gaye. "We 'pop up' in any designated space with minimal set, giving a sharedlight, shared-space experience. "We also operate a pay what you can policy where possible. "We believe theatre is for all and that highlighting health and social care issues in our productions is an exciting way to engage, entertain and educate. "Human Story THeatre partners with local communities and groups relevant to the issue being explored in each play." Other Human Story THeatre library and community space performances have included Flat 73, tackling loneliness and isolation, and the importance of breast checking in THe Fourth Dog.

Now we face the looming stress of donning our summer wardrobe and revealing our ‘winterised’ bodies! While diet and exercise have proven inadequate for ‘spot reduction’ of our problem areas, science has come to the rescue! It all began in the most uncanny way: Harvard Medical University researchers noticed that children who ate lots of ice lollies had more dimples than other children. THey realised there might be a correlation! And there is! After extensive (over 60!) clinical trials, it is proven that freezing kills fat cells! Because fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than other bodily tissues, no damage is done to the surrounding areas. THese studies show 85 per cent of people treated with selective freezing lose between 20-40 per cent of the fat cells in the treated area over a 12-week period. Add all that to the fact it’s safe, non-invasive and works with your body’s natural processes, and

Sky needs a home BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A DESPERATE plea has gone out to find a new home for a loving Staffordshire bull terrier who has watched 50 of her kennel mates find their forever homes yet she still waiting. Sky has been at the RSPCA Mount Noddy Animal Centre in Eartham, near Chichester, for eight months and she is their longest stay resident. While other dogs have come in after her and found a loving new family, Sky still sits waiting patiently. Susan Botherway, animal centre manager, said: “Sky is one of the most loving dogs you will ever meet, she is just so friendly and she adores having a fuss and giving kisses. “THe staff here are so confused as to why she has been here for so long. She is a loving, affectionate and active dog who has so much love to give. It just breaks our hearts every time another day passes without someone coming to see her. “She literally would be the most loyal
little friend you could ever have, and she would bring such a wealth of happiness and joy to the family who adopted her. She is a little dog with the biggest heart.” Sky is two years old and a Staffordshire bull terrier. She is insecure around other dogs and can be reactive so would need to be the only dog in the home. She will need an active rural or semirural home away from towns and cities, that can provide her with the training and exercise she needs. Sky knows basic commands such as sit, drop and wait but she would benefit from training classes to help further her skills.

Charity abseil DARING Chichester College staff and students conquered the Brighton i360 – and raised more than £1,000 for charity. THe fearless four – led by executive principal Andrew Green – abseiled 450ft down the British Airways i360 in Brighton. THey were fundraising for Sussexbased charity RISE, a charity which supports people affected by domestic abuse in Sussex. Andrew was joined by student president Sophie Sargent as well as Simon Brown, head of learning support and welfare, and student Adam Bradbury. Andrew said: “It was an incredible experience. “I left home on a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning, excited to abseil down the i360for such a great charity but as I drove down to the seafront, I looked up and the sudden realisation of how high it is was terrifying! “THe four of us were excited and
nervous as we boarded our ride to the sky. As soon as it was my turn, my heart was pounding but I stepped back and over the edge, knowing there was no going back – it was such a buzz. “It took about 90 seconds to reach the ground and it was brilliant and fantastic to help support those affected by domestic abuse, a very worthy cause.” Sophie added: “It was absolutely amazing to experience abseiling down the i360 and we were really lucky with the weather. THe views were fantastic. “When we were asked about getting involved, I didn’t hesitate. I’m a bit of an adrenalin-junkie, so I couldn’t wait to do it and to be able to support RISE, which does so much great work.” RISE is the main charity being supported by staff and students at Chichester College this year, with various activities taking place which are aimed at raising money and awareness.

Council's offer of health advice WEST SUSSEX County council is asking members of the public if they would know where to turn to with a sexual health problem or who can provide impartial advice on contraception. THese are just two of the questions being put to residents as part of a survey launched by West Sussex County Council’s Public Health Team. THey are currently assessing public awareness of the services on offer in the county and are calling on residents to have their say on the provision of sexual health services. THe survey, which is completely confidential, also asks residents who have used the service in the past to share their experience and put forward any suggestions that could make the service easier to use. THe county council has had the
responsibility for commissioning sexual health services since the transition of public health functions from the primary care trust to the council in 2013. Amanda Jupp, West Sussex County Council’s cabinet member for adults and health, said: “THe provision of sexual health services is a very important aspect of public health’s remit, and I would urge anyone who has used these services in the past – for whatever reason – to share their views with us to help us shape services in the future. “THis survey is completely confidential and your participation could make a real difference to those struggling to know where to turn to in their hour of need.” You can take part in the survey here: haveyoursay.westsussex.gov.uk/publichealth/sexual-health-survey/

Guide to autism is given to all schools in West Sussex TEACHERS will be helped to make informed decisions about protecting the mental health of autistic children in West Sussex schools thanks to a new guide. THe evidence-based guide to anxiety in autism was launched on Wednesday and is being delivered to all the county's schools. Cllr Richard Burrett, county council cabinet member for education and skills, said: "Every primary and secondary school in the county will have the chance to benefit from this exciting joint piece of work and engage in the new ideas presented in it.
"I hope it can help teachers to help young people manage their anxieties and live fulfilling lives." THe unique guide has been produced by City, University of London, and the county council's autism and social communication team. It has resulted from the fact about 40 per cent of autistic children, young people and adults are believed to have at least one anxiety disorder. THis compares to 10-15 per cent of the general population.
THe guide combines the latest research and practice for improving emotional wellbeing in autistic children. Heightened and intensive feelings for fear can often be hard to identify as anxiety in individuals with autism. THis is because it can present in an unusual way, such as excessive fear of specific objects or unusual worry about a change in routine. THese can be dismissed as part of autism but, once addressed, it can greatly improve a person's quality of life.

Donations pour in for charity bike riders MORE than £40,000 has been raised by cyclists from around Bognor Regis for their latest journey. THe £40,374 donated by Tuesday was reached just ten days after the riders launched their online fundraising page. THey were seeking donations in the town centre last Saturday and said the support they had received so far was 'truly heart touching'. THe Pink Pub To Pegasus Bridge ride will see them tackle the journey to the famous military site in Normandy dressed in Home Guard outfits riding vintage bicycles worth no more than £25.
This 'ghost of Concorde' was captured flying over Pagham at about 7am on Sunday, March 14. Pagham Road resident Ted Brodie watched the cloud formation for about seven minutes before it disappeared. He said: "It was just something that happened. It's not often you get cloud that clear."
THey are raising money for two good causes - 90 per cent to All Call Signs and the rest for Last Night a DJ Saved My Life. THey will leave on June 3 and will arrive at Pegasus Bridge on June 6. THe friends say on their Justgiving fundraising page: "We will be arriving on the 75th anniversary of D-Day to commemorate and show our respect to all of those men and women who bravely risked or laid down their lives in service to our country to give us our freedom." All Call Signs was established last year, after the tragic loss of a friend of many of the riders, Danny Johnston, 35.
Danny was an experienced soldier who served his country for many years as part of the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment. His distinguished career saw him serve with the Special Reconnaissance Regiment. He took his life last May after a lengthy battle with mental health issues. All Call Signs hopes to reduce the number of self-harm incidents and suicides in the military community. Last Night A DJ Saved My Life, set up for the electronic music industry to support children in crisis, will create wells in Africa in memory of Danny.

Avengers: Endgame
Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi Screened at Picturedrome Cinemas FOLLOWING Avengers: Infinity war’s heartbreaking conclusion, what’s left of Earth’s mightiest heroes must rally together once more to undo THanos’ devastating actions. Despite the hard efforts of Marvel’s finest heroes, the Mad Titan succeeded in his plan to rid the universe of half of its population and the likes of Black Panther, Groot, Spider-Man, and others were turned to dust by THanos’ snap. Where there are still heroes, there is still hope. THis time, Iron Man and Captain America will need to put their differences aside for good if they’re to bring back their friends and family. Luckily, Ant-Man, Hawkeye, and Captain Marvel arrive to tip the balance. Explicit details about the movie’s plot are understandably scarce but we know Tony Stark is left adrift in space while the disillusioned heroes back on Earth put their final plan into action. Avengers: Endgame will most certainly be the last time we see many of these familiar faces, to let’s hope the Russo brothers send them off in style.

Cut to 1938 where Joan is a Cambridge physics student who falls for a young communist, Leo Galich, and through him, begins to see the world in a new light.
Working at a top-secret nuclear research facility during the Second World War, Joan comes to the realisation that the world is on the brink of mutually assured destruction. Confronted with an impossible question – what price would you pay for peace? - Joan must choose between betraying her country and loved ones or saving them.

A great musical tradition at festival Southern Cathedrals Festival July 18 -21 Wesbite: southerncathedralsfestival.org.uk A rich and varied musical programme will be presented at Chichester Cathedral this summer as it hosts the annual Southern Cathedrals Festival from July 18-21. During the festival, an exciting range of events, performances and services will be held in the Cathedral and other iconic venues around the city centre. THe Festival celebrates the friendship between Chichester, Salisbury and Winchester cathedrals and is a highlight of the musical calendar. It offers sacred choral and organ music presented both as concerts and within worship. Choirs of the three cathedrals can be heard in combination and individually; guest musicians offer performances in a variety of genres from English song to jazz. At the Cathedral, three choral concerts take their place in the programme alongside four services (one recorded for broadcast by the
BBC), recitals, a performance by the superb West Sussex Youth Wind Orchestra, and evening entertainment in the Festival Marquee in the Deanery Garden. THe Festival culminates in a performance of one of the great achievements of Western music, J. S. Bach’s St John Passion, in which the choirs are joined by an exciting line-up of soloists, and the acclaimed period-instrument orchestra ‘Florilegium’. THe Dean of Chichester, THe Very Reverend Stephen Waine, commented, “We are delighted to be hosting this celebration of sacred music in the iconic setting of the Cathedral which has been a place of worship for 900 years. We look forward to welcoming returning music lovers and encourage those who have not been before to experience this wonderful music for the first time.” For a full list of Festival events and information on how to buy tickets, visit Cathedral website or the Southern Cathedral Festival Website: southerncathedralsfestival.org.uk

Vincent is in art trail Chichester Art Trail May 4-6 and May 11-12 Wesbite: chichesterarttrail.org SCULPTOR Vincent Gray will among those taking part in this year's Chichester Art Trail. Vincent's work is already familiar to anyone who visits the city centre. Keats sits outside Carluccio’s, inviting people to join him on the bench, THe Mime, pictured right, can be seen in the Cloisters’ Café garden throughout the summer and Maurice Patten is soon to arrive in the memorial garden. Vincent works in his studio at THe Courtyard, in Chilgrove and he will be found at Venue 33 in the trail next month. Here he talks to the art trail about his inspirations: Q: How long have you been at this studio and what do you like most about it? A: I have occupied a studio at THe Courtyard for three years. THe setting and location afford me a great deal of joy and calm and I love to interact with the other artists who have their practices here. I also enjoy observing the changing seasons and the abundance of flora and fauna. Q: What is a normal day in the studio like for you? A: A normal day is usually busy. I arrive at my studio with focus and a clear vision of what I would like to achieve. Sometimes my day is punctuated by an invitation to lunch with Nicola and Terry from the adjoining studios, or a beer tasting with Adrian in his micro-brewery next door! Q: How have you adapted the studio to assist and develop your artistic practice? What changes to your studio, that you are unable to make, would you make if possible? A: THe first improvement I made was to put in a bench that runs the length of the studio which creates a great storage facility underneath. Apart from this fixed bench all other benches are on wheels in order to give flexibility to my operation. I have two large turntables,
one of which is central to the main workshop area. I have a meet and greet room which doubles as an office and kitchen, a gallery/studio and a workshop area. Immediately outside the workshop door I have a hard standing which I utilise often. I also have the possibility to exhibit my work within the courtyard. THe outside tap is an absolute blessing when it comes to washing out moulds and mixing plaster. Q: When you are creatively lost or frustrated how does the studio inspire you? A: I keep the studio stocked with a variety of materials including modelling wax, clay, plaster, alginate, glass fibre, metal and wood so I can act immediately, if I find inspiration. I only need look outside to feel uplifted and creative. We have red kites circling overhead, deer meandering over the fields and pheasant pecking at the ground. A herd of cows kept me company through last summer too.

Opposite him, Liz White makes her Chichester debut as Joy Gresham. Her many TV series include Life on Mars, Ackley Bridge and THe Halcyon, while she has an extensvie portfolio of theatre work. Celebrated writer Lewis, author of THe Chronicles of Narnia, splits his time between an ordered domestic routine at home with his brother, Warnie, and the academic rigour of his dispassionate, all-male Oxford college. His evenings are spent replying to his many correspondents. One stands out: vivid, expressive, New York poet Joy Gresham. When she arrives in England with her young son, Douglas, everything Lewis believed to be true about life and love is thrown into question. And a relationship begins which will take them both to the extremities of pain and joy.

Health&Wellbeing Mindful ways to live your life well. Do you have a thought you would like to share with others?
DENISE KELLY A passionate and motivated 'health expert/nutritionist.
Should you go gluten free? www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@ thewellbeingcompanyltd.com PEOPLE with certain medical conditions have very good reasons to avoid gluten, the gluey, chewy protein found in wheat, kamut, spelt, rye, barley, triticale and malt. But there are equally good reasons not to go gluten free if you don’t have to. Reasons you should go gluten free: 1. To manage celiac disease. In people with this autoimmune disease, gluten triggers the immune system to attack the small intestine. Even trace amounts of gluten can
cause significant damage. With repeated attacks, the small intestine loses its ability to absorb vital nutrients, such as calcium and iron. Over time, people with untreated celiac disease can develop severe nutritional deficiencies, such as osteoporosis and iron-deficiency anemia, as well as other autoimmune disorders, extreme fatigue, infertility, neurological problems and, in a very small percentage of cases, lymphoma of the small intestine. If you have been diagnosed with celiac disease, the treatment is to adopt a strict, gluten-free diet. THis allows the small intestine to heal so it can absorb nutrients properly, and reduces the risk
Even trace amounts of gluten can cause significant damage
of associated problems. 2. To control dermatitis herpetiformis (DH). DH is a form of celiac disease that triggers the immune system to attack the skin, rather than the small intestine. It causes a chronic itchy, bumpy rash that can be quite painful. A tell-tale sign of DH, besides the fact that it shows up after eating gluten, is that the rash is usually symmetrical. If you develop a rash on your left elbow, you’ll most likely have a similar rash on the right elbow. If people with DH continue to eat gluten, they also may run an increased risk of developing intestinal cancer. Once diagnosed, however, people with DH are usually highly motivated to stick with a gluten-free diet to steer clear of these painful rashes. 3. To reduce symptoms of gluten sensitivity. Unlike celiac disease and DH, gluten sensitivity is not an autoimmune disease. It’s more like lactose intolerance. THe inability to process or metabolize lactose – except that it’s gluten that can’t be metabolised. People with gluten sensitivity experience gastrointestinal distress – ranging from diarrhoea, gas and bloating to constipation and irritable bowel symptoms – when they eat gluten. (People with celiac disease, on the other hand, may experience these symptoms, or may have no symptoms at all.) With gluten sensitivity, it doesn’t appear to be as critical to long-term health to avoid gluten – it’s more a matter of choice to avoid symptoms. THe occasional slice of pizza may cause some short-term digestive discomfort, but it isn’t believed to increase the risk of serious long-term consequences. Reasons not to go gluten free: 1. To eat healthier. Don’t give up gluten because you think it’s a healthier way to eat. Unless you have to go gluten free to manage a medical condition, it isn’t. Carbohydrates should make up to nearly half of a healthy diet, and that’s where gluten is found. Cutting out wheat, rye, barley and the other grains that provide gluten eliminates some of the key sources of complex carbohydrates needed in a balanced diet. Also lost are the fibre, B vitamins and foliate found in carbohydrates, as well as the iron, calcium and vitamin D provided by fortified breads and cereals. Gluten-free breads, cereals and crackers may help you fill the void, but they tend to be lower in fibre, are generally not fortified, and often contain more sugar and fat to make up for the texture and flavour that are lost when gluten is left out. Yes, you can take supplements to replace some of the lost nutrients, but people tend to absorb nutrients best when they come from food. 2. To lose weight. A desire to lose weight is the wrong reason to go gluten free. As you may have seen with numerous fad diets, anyone can lose weight when cutting an entire food group from their diet – the trick is how to keep it off once the food restriction gets old. A gluten-free diet is not easy to stick with, it’s expensive and it puts you at risk of missing out on important nutrients. THere are far healthier and easier ways to lose weight. Start by making fruits and vegetables over half of every meal, using a smaller plate, and reducing the number of calories you sip in the form of fizzy drinks, milky tea and coffee drinks, sports drinks and sugar rich juices. THese are healthy habits that you can adopt easily and maintain for life.
3. To try to diagnose your own symptoms. If you think you may have celiac disease, DH or gluten sensitivity, don’t go gluten free on your own to try to find out. It’s important to see a professional for an accurate diagnosis while you are still eating a normal diet. THese are the most common ways to test for celiac disease: 1. Blood test. A blood test will look for antibodies that incorrectly interact with the gluten protein. THe most common test is a tTG-IgA test. 2. Biopsy from your small intestine. People with a positive blood test will likely need to have a biopsy. THis is a process in which a small tissue sample is taken from your intestine and checked for damage. Foods you can eat: • Meats and fish. All meats and fish, except battered or coated meats. • Eggs. All types of eggs are naturally gluten-free. • Dairy. Plain dairy products, such as plain milk, plain yogurt and cheeses. However, flavoured dairy products may have added ingredients that contain gluten, so you will need to read the food labels. • Fruits and vegetables. All fruits and vegetables are naturally free of gluten. • Grains. Quinoa, rice, buckwheat, tapioca, sorghum, corn, millet, amaranth, arrowroot, teff and oats (if labeled gluten-free). • Starches and flours. Potatoes, potato flour, corn, corn flour, chickpea flour, soy flour, almond meal/flour, coconut flour and tapioca flour. • Nuts and seeds. All nuts and seeds. • Spreads and oils. All vegetable oils and butter. • Herbs and spices. All herbs and spices. • Beverages. Most beverages, except for beer (unless labelled as gluten-free). Completely avoiding gluten can be challenging because it is found in many common ingredients that are added to foods. THese are the main sources of gluten in the diet: • Wheat-based foods like wheat bran, wheat flour, spelt, durum, kamut and semolina • Barley • Rye • Triticale • Malt • Brewer’s yeast THese are some examples of foods that may have ingredients containing gluten added to them: • Bread. All wheat-based bread. • Pasta. All wheat-based pasta. • Cereals. Unless labeled gluten-free. • Baked goods. Cakes, cookies, muffins, pizza, bread crumbs and pastries. • Snack foods. Sweets, muesli bars, crackers, pre-packaged convenience foods, roasted nuts, flavoured crisps and popcorn, pretzels. • Sauces. Soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, marinades, salad dressings. • Beverages. Beer, flavoured alcoholic beverages. THe easiest way to avoid gluten is to eat unprocessed, single-ingredient foods, otherwise you should read the food labels of most foods you buy. Oats are naturally gluten free, however they are often contaminated with gluten, as they might be processed in the same factory as wheat-based foods. Keep as natural as you can!

Chichester eating-out scene. Although there is a menu of main courses and pasta dishes, including child-size portions, most people go to enjoy the choice of freshly-made tapas, a number of which have a Middle Eastern slant as well as traditional Spanish dishes. A tapas banquet for four people at £19.50 is popular for groups with a selection across the menu but my husband and I, with help from Beyhan, settled in comfortable chairs, made our own choices from the vegetarian, meat and chicken, and fish and seafood sections, washed down with a house white pinot grigio and a lemonade.

vegans can enjoy a variety of 15 options and we plumped for champignons al ajillo (mushrooms), zazilki - a Greekstyle yoghurt - and pimentos rellenos, which was an oven-baked sweet red pepper stuffed with spinach in a cheese sauce. THe chefs are happy to adjust ingredients for dietary requirements on request, a typical example of the warm and pleasant attitude of all the team. For meat tapas, we added pollo Marbella, which was pan fried chicken with chorizo, onion and peppers in a creamy paprika sauce, then the succulent chef's special prawns in sauce. Luckily, there was enough ciabatta to mop up the flavoursome sauces and, feeling pleasantly full but not overstuffed, I was able to enjoy a moist, light tiramisu from the list of home-made desserts. But as Beyhan said: "Seeing is deceiving, tasting is believing." And De Levante is a worthy successor to the legacy of El Castizo.

Taco Bell Unit R1B Chichester Gate Leisure Park, Chichester, PO19 8EL Tel: 01243 537855 ALTHOUGH the United States is home to all things fast food, there is an awful lot more on offer than burgers - Mexican, for instance, and Taco Bell is opening more outlets in the UK to satisfy demand. One of these is at Chichester Gate, nestled handily opposite the bowling alley and close to the cinema complex for those inevitable munchies before or after an outing but the great value menu of spicy wraps, tacos, burritos
and more appeals to families, students and anyone looking for a quick snack or lunch, too. Students have the benefit of a 15 per cent discount but prices are reasonable for all, especially the meals, such as the Big Bell Box, which includes a fajita burrito, taco, nachos or fries, a soft drink and churros with sauce. THere's the option to choose from beef, Mexican chicken, south-western chicken, pork or refried beans for the main burrito filling. A double crunch wrap makes a change from the softer tacos while vegetarians are not forgotten with one choice being a seven-layer burrito. Regarding the level of spice in each meal, staff are happy to advise or adjust ingredients to suit customers' tastes and, for the adventurous, there's the Volcano Burrito, complete with Lava Sauce.

Tuptim Siam By Katherine Denny 6-7 The Esplanade, Bognor Regis PO21 1NY 01243 862525 www.tuptimsiam.co.uk A SHORT stroll past THe Steyne in Bognor Regis will bring you to the door of Tuptim Siam and the warm welcome of THai authenticity. As we were being seated for lunch, the couple at the next table were putting their coats on to leave and merrily assured us we’d enjoy our meal. THeir good wishes clearly weren’t unfounded as we heard the gentleman at the table behind explain that he hadn’t had dinner the night before so he could order two main meals. THe extensive menu was enough to tempt us to over-order, too, though we sensibly began with a platter of mixed starters to share. We expected the standard selection of enjoyable but often boughtin and forgettable chicken satay sticks, crab cakes and spring rolls with the obligatory sweet chilli dip. Instead, we received truly restaurant quality morsels, brought to the table by executive chef Kit Khunia who delighted in explaining which of the five freshly made sauces complemented each food. Like all good chefs, Kit began cooking at a young age with his mother. At the age of ten he was promoted from carrying and washing up to actual cooking and by 12 he became her official taste tester. His professional career followed a similar trajectory, working his way up through cheffing positions to come full circle as a taster in Mayfair restaurants and five star hotels.
Reina Kitchen By Alicia Denny 11/12 Market Road, Chichester PO19 1JW Tel: 01243 788717 www.reinakitchen.co.uk ALTHOUGH it only has been opened for a few weeks, the owners spent months converting the former shop into a smart, bright comfortable venue, which has the unusual feature of an open cooking area where customers can see chefs at work at the barbecue-type grill. As three of us were dining, we were able to sample a number of dishes with choices guided by the smiling and helpful staff, although the menu also gave good descriptions for people
who are unfamiliar with Turkish cuisine. My lamb shank was a substantial piece of deliciously tender meat, which fell off the bone, while the shish was equally succulent but with slightly more of a kick, an acknowledgement of the restaurant's use of herbs flown in from an organic farm in Turkey. THe shank was served as a casserole with carrots and small potatoes, the shish had a delicate yogurt and lemon sauce while bulgar wheat and salad were served alongside. Although we were probably too full for dessert, we made an effort to try wonderfully crispy yet soft baklava accompanied with a superb raspberry sorbet and vanilla ice cream. Turkish wine is available and Reina Kitchen is making a feature of its cocktails.

` The Lamb Inn, Pagham Address: 144 Pagham Rd, Nyetimber Phone: 01243 262168
Sophisticated modern dining in an 1860’s Farmhouse setting We visited The Lamb Inn at Pagham on a beautiful autumnal evening. The sign outside proudly proclaims it as a ‘A Quality Inn’ dating back to 1860. Parking was thankfully easy, as there is ample room outside for several cars. The restaurant interior has a stylish, uncluttered, spacious, yet rustic appearance, with two original open fireplaces, and wooden tables of varying sizes, bare and simply laden with candle and condiments. We chose all of our options from the regular weekday menu. Starters average just under £7, and main courses from £11.50 for the fish and chips to £23.50 for the aged fillet steak. Magda, our waitress, soon arrived with our starters, one resplendent with spare ribs, scattered with sesame seeds, in a hoi sin glaze sat on a bed of bean sprouts. They were cooked to perfection, the tender meat fell off the bone, with a crunchy zing and a flash of ginger heat, emanating from the accompanying spring onion and pickled ginger salad. My starter, squid
cakes, presented with a light brown sautéed coating, revealing a soft moist filling inside of succulent little chunks of juicy squid, flavoured with tiny, yet fiery red chillis which gave quite a kick, beautifully complimented by the accompaniment of chili vinegar, lending a dash of pungent sweetness. Wine starts at around £13.50 a bottle, there is a varied and erudite selection of wines, but the list includes a very helpful taste guide to assist the diner in making their selection. For the main course my companion chose one of the Lamb’s specials - deep fried ale battered fish and chips. The fish, a handsome golden batter encasing clean fresh white flaky cod was perfectly cooked. Chunky chips and a piquant lemony homemade tartar sauce to dip, made for a simple traditional dish, perfectly executed. My seared calves’ liver was impressive, thin, delicate slices of liver, neatly resting on a pillow of buttery mashed potato, and embellished with a most delectable shallot and red wine jus, topped off with two pink bacon rashers. The combination of the
delicate melt in the mouth liver, salty bacon, rich sauce and fluffy potato was a complete joy. But would we have room for pudding? Yes! My companion opted for the chocolate brownie with ginger ice cream, while I went for the sticky toffee pudding with vanilla. The rich rectangular chocolate brownie, was dark and luscious with a crunchy outer and a gooey rich middle with a nutty texture, paired beautifully with the ice cream with tiny pieces of whole ginger in it. My sticky toffee pudding was sublime. The sticky, dark brown pudding itself was scrumptious; warm, thick, yielding to the spoon, with a rich toffee flavour, in a moat of creamy butterscotch sauce, crowned with

sweet, cold vanilla ice cream. We were in pudding paradise! The Lamb Inn is for the sophisticated diner who appreciates imaginative and creative dishes, in a simple, comfortable and authentic traditional pub style setting. The food speaks for itself, high quality ingredients, skilfully cooked, prepared and presented, and served by friendly and attentive waiting staff. Don has been the owner of the Lamb Inn for the past ten years and has a vast wealth of experience and knowledge of the catering trade - and it shows. Thanks to everyone at The Lamb Inn for wonderful food and exceptional hospitality. Daniel Field October 2016

Community News & Views fit A resort g for a Kin IT WAS 90 years ago King George V and Queen Mary came to Bognor for their historic visit. THe Bognor Regis Post will be publishing weekly excerpts from archive editions of THe Times to show how it informed its readers about the monarch's recovery from a lung illness: Saurday, March 30 - THe King, who had passed a good night, spent nearly three hours yesterday morning walking and resting in the grounds of Craigweil House. He was also out walking on THursday. THere was warm sunshine and a cloudless sky on both days and great numbers of (Easter) holiday visitors were on the beach. THe luminous ray treatment was again applied to the King yesterday. THe Queen drove to St John's Church, Bognor, yesterday morning to attend the service there. Last evening she returned to London. THe Kneller (Hall) Band of 25 performers, under the direction of Lieutenant Adkins, which is performing at Bognor Pavilion during the holidays, has received a Royal command to play at Craigweil House today and tomorrow. Tuesday, April 2 - THe King, accompanied by the Queen, spent some time in the grounds of Craigweil House yesterday morning when another performance was given by the Kneller Hall Band. Holidaymakers numbering several thousands who were spending the day at Bognor assembled on the sands and, by the direction of the King, they were allowed to approach close to the sea wall of Craigweil House to hear the musical selections, among which were two harp solos which were included in the programme at the request of the Queen. THe King and Queen remained on the lawn during the whole of the performance, which lasted about an hour and a half. At the end, when their Majesties rose, the large crowd of spectators on the sands cheered loudly, and the demonstration was continued as the King, accompanied by the Queen, walked over to the sea wall, where he stood for several minutes smiling and bare-headed. In the afternoon, the Queen took part in a jumble sale at Colebrook House, Aldwick, after she had driven to Arundel.
A THERAPIST based in Bognor Regis has become an official practitioner of mindfulness. Melaina Welland has attained a teacher training accreditation from Mindfulness Now at St John's College Oxford, affiliated to the national licensing body, the UK College of Mindfulness Meditation. Mindfulness is a practice of cultivating awareness by bringing a person's attention deliberately back to the present moment without judgment. It is about acknowledging thoughts and feelings. Melaina, above, offers an eight-week programme. Clients will learn about mindfulness, the science behind it and how to develop awareness of emotions, thoughts and physical sensations. Melaina said: "Today, many of us live on auto-pilot without ever paying attention to the task at hand and we are soon lost in our thoughts. Rarely, are we in the here and now. "It is argued that the UK is in the midst of a mental health epidemic and, after experiencing the life-transforming benefits of practising mindfulness, my wish was to be able to pass this on to others, promoting mental, physical and emotional well-being. "My passion is to help people and eventually bring mindfulness to schools and businesses in Sussex as well as individuals so that we can benefit as a community." She is the area's only teacher on the mindfulness teachers' register.
THOUSANDS of visitors made Easter busy at the Aldingbourne Country Centre. THe large turnout made for an amazing atmosphere at the site north of the A27. New activities such as sand and water play opened to create a booming time at the centre, run by the Aldingbourne Trust charity. THe most popular event was the children's wipe out. THis attracted more than 1,500 people. THe total number for the two-week Easter break came to 9,000-plus. One of those who visited was Melissa Ross. She said her family had thoroughly enjoyed themselves. "We came to the Easter
A FORMAL complaint is being made by Bognor Regis town councillors about the demolition of historic buildings. THe planning and licensing committee members agreed to officially tell Arun District Council they were unhappy at the handling of the newlyrazed 2-4 Waterloo Square. THeir decision on Tuesday follows their previous complaints about the decisions which led up to the buildings, which dated back to before 1903, being knocked down last month. Cllr Jeanette Warr, the committee's chairman, said: "We kept asking and asking that they would not proceed
funday and we had a brilliant day," she said. "THe kids had great fun with loads to do. "THe cafe is great, the food was delicious, well priced with friendly, helpful staff." Another of the happy customers was Joelle Chanley. She said: "Even though it was one of the busiest days, it was just lovely. "A huge thank you to all the volunteers patiently assisting children on bouncy castles." THe programme included a range of events. It featured bounce about days, pictured above, reptile days, splash about and falconry, pictured below. THe trust's work is to help people with learning disabilities live more fulfilled lives and become more independent.
until we had ironed out all the different aspects." If the councillors are unhappy with the response, they could take their complaint to the Ombudsman watchdog. A planning application to demolish the buildings was made by developer B5 Ltd. Before it could be decided, Arun's officers issued a demolition order for them after B5 said the poor condition of the buildings made them unsafe. Councillors have previously written to James Brokenshire, the government's secretary of state for housing, about the matter but said they were unhappy with his response.
MEMBERS of Bognor Regis U3A were entertained by a talk on old country customs and folklore by Tessa Daines at a recent meeting. She began her talk by stating tradition is alive and well today but that the country calendar has somewhat died away. One of the most well-known events is the traditional May fair, including the maypole dance, which was started in London. Witches and witchcraft were the basis of many suspicions, but the last recorded hanging of a witch was in 1684 and there was an instance of a witch being tarred and feathered in Scotland in 1727. It was ruled in 1647 that every old woman with specific features was deemed a witch, which led to many indiscriminate claims. It was said that witches were burned 'upside down', so that they were unable to see. A farmer's wife was said to have planted a rowan tree, as this was said to ward off witches, to protect her cattle. One of the reasons for this is it was said that witches did not like the colour red and berries of the rowan tree are red. Similar theories are said about four-leaved clovers, St John's Wort and the use of silver in the floors and walls of barns. Another area which it was thought needed protecting from witches was the kitchen with, for example, hot cross buns, white curtains and a glass rolling pin being thought to ward them off. However, many so-called witches were convicted on the basis of neighbour's hearsay - as many as 40,000-50,000 in Europe - to give rise to the phrase witch-hunt. One of the most important people in a village was the farrier, as they made horseshoes, which were again supposed to deter witches. However, they have to be hung the right way up and were often hidden in buildings. THis tradition is carried on today, when brides often wear a horseshoe for luck. Christmas baubles are another sign of the tradition continuing. THey were known as witch bells at one time and hung in windows to deter witches. Bees were also a source of many traditions. If there was a death in the family, the survivors would always tell the bees. THeir honey was considered to be an aphrodisiac, from which the word honeytrap is derived, added Tessa.
CHILDREN are learning through outdoor play in North Bersted. More than 30 young people are enjoying being Street Country forest school woodland explorers, pictured above. Leader Ruth Street enables children to initiate and develop learning through play in the natural environment of Acorn Wood. THe privately-owned site is a short walk from the meeting place of North Bersted Community Centre in Lakeland Avenue. Ruth said: "Forest School is a long-term process of frequent and regular sessions in a woodland or natural environment, rather than a one-off visit. "It is collaborative learning in that we are providing activities which give the children opportunities to learn, observing how they respond to that and then structuring what we do to take them on to the next step. "We are encouraging them to learn about and respect the natural world, look after it in a sustainable way and interact with the natural world to encourage creativity and skills. She began Street Country in 2011 using her experience as a primary school teacher and expert environmental educator. She has taught in a number of primary schools in the area and has been a field teacher for Chichester Harbour Conservancy for many years. Her work in North Bersted started a year ago and consists of three groups. One for home educated children, one for Bartons Primary School pupils and an after school club for six-11 year olds. It meets from 3.30pm-5.30pm on THursdays at the community centre. Details at: street-country.com

By Sylvia Endacott
Town's modern buildings are worth noting Each generation has examples of architecture it thinks are interesting AS we look around where we live, we may refer to areas as Regency, Victorian, Edwardian or pre-war. I was therefore quite intrigued when I was contacted recently by a group who wished to hear about modern Bognor Regis. THe group is the 20th Century Society. And they were founded to safeguard the heritage, architecture and design of Britain from 1914 onwards. THeir organiser had produced a detailed list of many of our buildings that fall within this remit. THe town's history only goes back to Sir Richard Hotham when the first foundation stone was laid on January 18, 1787, ‘of a public bathing place'. A vast majority of building has taken place more recently, and we therefore provided the members of the 20th Century Society with many styles of architecture in a relatively small area. THere are a number of constructions on the Aldwick Bay Estate, which were built in a very distinctive style in the 1930s. One such was the Beach House built specifically to give maximum sea views and constructed in cream reinforced concrete with battleship grey windows. THis was classed as the first such ‘modern house’ in the area, and the then rural district council gave its approval for its construction. It was a speculative venture by Tecton, a radical
architectural group formed in 1932. THe house was sold while it was being constructed. We have had our own architect, here in Bognor Regis, Jack Godfrey-Gilbert, who designed numerous buildings locally. One was on the Aldwick Bay Estate and was bought at one time by Earl Spencer, the father of Princess Diana, and it was hoped that her sons would come to play on the beach, similar to their grandmother, when she was Princess Elizabeth. Mr Godfrey-Gilbert was also employed as the technical co-ordinator for the Festival of Britain and numerous mosques in London. However, he designed a block of flats in 1965, namely THe Hawthorns in Linden Road, which were thought to be very interesting architecturally, much photographed and these images were displayed at the headquarters of the Royal Institute of British Architects. He died in 2002 while he still lived locally. Interestingly, another property which was highlighted by the Royal Institute of Architecture was Howard House, pictured bottom, designed by the architect, Eric Lyons. It was constructed in 1959 as sheltered housing with 50 flats and a warden’s flat. However, it was recorded by the institute as being demolished in the 1980s, so I went to look at the area – guess what it had not been demolished but is still there. We would view
Howard House is seen as being worthy of national attention
f Queensway before The Hatters building was constructed
f The health centre in Bognor Regis
f hyhy
this property as typical 1960s architecture. When working through the group's list, it highlighted buildings that we perhaps do not easily recognise as being of architectural interest. For instance, what about the Gordon Centre in Canada Grove, built in 1929, not far from the health centre in West Street, which was constructed in 1970? Two diverse styles, and with differing views as to their appearance within the area. THere was a considerable amount of building taking place around the town from the 1920s, with the Town Hall being built in 1929, and the old fire station behind in the 1930s. By 1933, the W Jones garage was being constructed in Lennox Street, THe Odeon Cinema - now Crown Bingo - arrived in 1934, with its very distinctive style of construction and, also in the 1930s, the Post Office building in the High Street, opposite the end of Sudley Road. We also consider churches as having been with us for years, but the Methodist Church in Waterloo Square was not built until 1925, the Felpham Methodist was constructed in 1939 and St Anthony at Rose Green was not fully constructed until 1950. If you stop and think of our main shopping area, that of London Road, even here we have a number of buildings that were not constructed until the 1930s, that of the recently closed Burtons, New Look next door, which was built for Marks and Spencer and then Wilko, which was built for Woolworths - each of these buildings has their own particular architectural style. Currently, there is a planning application in for this building to add a number of floors
above to be used as student accommodation. THe town library in London Road was built in 1964, after being situated in numerous other sites including London Road, before this their final move. Within the Butlin's site, we have had the Pavilion Skyline built in 1999, Shoreline Hotel (2005), Ocean Hotel (2009) and, next, the Wave Hotel in 2012. Finally, the newly constructed swimming pool at Butlin’s, built in an Art Deco style. THus they have contributed many new constructions to the 20th and 21st centuries. During the present century, we can view the Regis School built in 2010, to encompass the William Fletcher/Bognor Regis Comprehensive School. THere is also the newly constructed Chichester University building, opened in 2018, and attached to buildings constructed during Sir Richard Hotham’s era. I realise there are many dates here, but if you consider the flow of dates with the construction of many of these premises, you can realise how ‘modern Bognor Regis’ is considered. It is, of course, quite difficult to image the town centre without many of these buildings. THe most visual of course is Fitzleet, a building that divides opinion - should it be listed or should it be demolished? When it was built in the 1960s, it was seen as a sign of the future, and a way forward for the town. THe Queensway was built, without the end site, which eventually became Sainsbury’s and now of course Hatters, named after Sir Richard, our founder. THis site is also the subject of a planning application above Hatters. Each generation has its own view of what is ‘good architecture’ that future generations applaud or decry their work.

Sportinbrief î ? Horse racing GOODWOOD Racecourse gallops back into action with its much-anticipated opening Saturday on May 4. Spring has sprung and with it the promise of an exciting new flat racing season at the Sussex track. Goodwood's opening Saturday fixture next weekend features seven races including two valuable Listed contests; the ÂŁ50,000 Daisy Warwick Stakes and the ÂŁ50,000 Conqueror Stakes, both of which are likely to attract some exciting fillies and mares aiming to get off to a winning start. During the winter months, much investment has taken place at Goodwood Racecourse. THe inside of the March Grandstand has seen further redevelopment, creating a superb new betting facility and two new cafĂŠs. General manager Alex Eade said: "Opening Saturday is a real family day out complemented by the high-class racing. Whether you are passionate about horseracing or want a really good afternoon out, Goodwood Racecourse is a fantastic place to come." Tickets start from ÂŁ12 in advance and children under 18 go free.
î ? Darts GARY BLACKWOOD beat out competition from 50 other competitors to lift his fourth Bognor Friday Night Benevolent Knockout Champions Cup. THe Legends player defeated former champion Micky Rowland in the semi final before playing Lee Hellyer (Newtown Amity) in the final. Blackwood started fast, hitting a score of 60 followed by two 140s. Hellyer couldn't score like his opponent, and in just 18 darts Blackwood hit double top for the first leg. Hellyer started the second leg with a ton, and scored 81 and 88 with his next throws. But despite some drop-outs for Blackwood, two 85s and a 171 put him in the lead. It was Hellyer who kept his nerve though to level things up. Leg 3 saw Blackwood seize the initiative with some strong scoring which his opponent could not match. With double seven left, Blackwood hit the double to go 2-1 up. Leg 4 saw Hellyer with a slow start but eventually hit 122. Blackwood hit back with a ton. Hellyer replied with his own but could only leave 76. Blackwood then diaplsyed his champion credentials nailing an 80 out shot to take the match 3-1.

Zim call-up for Bognor's new boy BOGNOR CC look to have landed a coup with their new overseas signing, Roy Kaia, who has international experience. THe official start of the Sussex County Cricket League season is now a week away. Kits have been ordered, balls have been delivered, squares have been cut and players are returning to the nets after a winter away. One side who cannot wait to get going are Bognor CC, who have made some healthy additions to their squad this close season. Zimbabwe international all-rounder Kaia is the most eye-catching, bringing a wealth of experience of Grade A cricket to THe Regis Oval. THe 27-year-old has been in good form for his club side Mountaineers this winter, which earned him a call up to the Zimbabwe squad for their recent ODI series against UAE. Boasting a List A average of close to 30 with the bat and 22 with his right arm off-breaks, Bognor will hope Kaia can inspire them to a strong showing in the second tier of the Sussex County League. Winter also saw the re-signing of Joe Ashmore after a good spell last season. More importantly, though, was the
appointment of former Hampshire left arm spinner Raj Maru as coach. Having guided leg spinner Mason Crane from Lancing College student into the England international T20 squad, hopes are high that the slow bowling maestro can spin his magic at the Regis Oval this summer. Bognor start the season at home to Haywards Heath on May 4 while Chichester Priory Park, who finished one spot lower than their neighbours last season, host Burgess Hill (12.30pm). For the third season in a row, Middleton CC will once again compete in the Sussex Premier with Sean Heather's side starting the season away at newly-promoted THree Bridges (11.30am). THe club struggled at times last season and had to rely on a good run towards the end of the year to secure their top level status. Middleton continued their preparations for the new campaign with a comfortable friendly victory over Stirlands last weekend, Heather scoring a century in a score of 241-5. In Division THree West Pagham head to Littlehampton, Climping and Patching (12.30pm).

Blues wrap up top five finish SELSEY'S first season under Daren Pearce has been a big success - but despite claiming a top five finish, thoughts are already turning to next season. A young Blues side has shown that they can be a match for anyone in the SCFL Division One this season. After taking his time to get a settled side after his move from local rivals Sidlesham last summer, Pearce has turned his attention to youth. It appears to have paid off as Selsey have been one of the form sides in the division since the turn of the year. Blues have lost just once in the league since the start of December, a run which has seen them surge up the table and into the top five. Since March, Selsey have won all six of their matches, scoring 16 and conceding just three. Two of those wins came over the Easter campaign, starting with a 4-0 result against Storrington when Lindon Miller (2), Ryan Morey and Callum Dowdell got on the scoresheet.
THat was followed by a 1-0 derby day win over local rivals Sidlesham on Easter Monday. THe only goal of a tight contest came just after the break when Jordan Warren struck home a free kick. Blues wrap up their campaign tomorrow with a home match against Worthing United (3pm). Pearce, though, is already planning ahead to next season, with Louie Haga-Hammond and his assistant, Billy Rayner, taking over the reins of the under 23s side at the Bunn Leisure Stadium. A number of under 19s are also being blooded in the first team, as the club look to build on that age group's league winning season. Elsewhere in SCFL Division One, Sidlesham finish their season away at Wick tomorrow (3pm). Sids, who are currently ninth, have performed well on their return to step six under the direction of former Blues boss Steve Bailey. THeir opponents tomorrow are level on points with them, but with a worse goal difference.
CHICHESTER City Ladies skipper Lauren Cheshire has hailed the club's togetherness for firing the side to county cup glory. THe Oaklands Park side sprang a surprise by defeating Brighton & Hove Albion development squad 1-0 in the final of the Sussex Challenge Cup. For the Oaklands Park side the cup win is just rewards for an excellent season which has seen the club surge up the third tier of the women's national standings. Even with a poor run of form around Christmas which saw them lose pace with the leaders, with two matches of the National Southern Premier season remaining, Aaron Smith's side are third. But it is the victory in the cup which will long sit in the club's memory, with the win coming against the 17 times winners of the trophy whose senior team play in the Women's Super League. Captain Lauren Cheshire said: "THis is by far the best team I have played in and I love every single one of those girls. THat was shown on the pitch. "Everyone knows about our bad spell this season and that came from a lack of belief.
It took for that dip for us to come together, especially over the last four or five weeks. THere was barely two minutes on the clock at Lancing's Culver Road when Molly Clark spectacularly put Chi in front. THe club's top scorer fired from 30-yards out to beat the young Seagulls goalkeeper, Laura Hartley. Chances came and went for both sides as Albion, who were featuring a number of internationals, looked for the equaliser. But Chi's experience counted more and the club defended their lead well to ensure that they lifted the trophy for the second time in five years. When asked what the win meant, Cheshire said: "It's something that five or six years ago when I joined this club was so far away. We were never supposed to win it but we did. "It was the same again this year. We were the underdogs. THey are a good young team but we showed that we are still ready to compete." Next up for Chi is a home match in the league against second-bottom Queens Park Rangers on Sunday (2pm). THe game is the last game at Oaklands Park of the season.

Injuries have cost us dear, claims Pearce
e up f Rocks drew with Whitehawk | pics: T McMillan
NEXT GAME
BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce has blamed injuries as the major reason Rocks are not entering the final weekend of the season in playoff contention. Two months ago, hopes were high at Nyewood Lane that the club would be in the hunt for an immediate return to step two football. But a run of just one win in 11 league matches since mid-March have seen Rocks slip down the Bostik Premier standings. After picking up just one point from Easter matches at champions Dorking Wanderers and struggling Whitehawk, Bognor are now 12th, with only a top half finish to fight for. THey end their campaign tomorrow with a trip to Kent to face playoff-chasing Folkestone Invicta (3pm). But Pearce cannot help but think that things could have been different if key players had stayed fit for crucial parts of the year. He said: "It's been miserable being manager as I've just been fighting fires, Training has been a joke as with no players you cannot build cohesion. "With our best 14 players and a normal number of injuries we would be in the playoffs." Any hopes Bognor had of sneaking into contention were
ended by Dorking who produced a dominant display last weekend to beat Rocks 2-0. THat was followed by an entertaining 0-0 derby day draw with Whitehawk on Easter Monday. Speaking after that match to Rocks Radio, Pearce said: "We got the maximum effort out of the players we have. It showed that our decision-making at times was short of a team that is low on confidence which we undoubtedly are, given the results we have had. "You are judged on your home form and our home form has been appalling." Doug Tuck and Brad Lethbridge will both miss tomorrow's match at Folkestone but Pearce is hopeful they could be back for the Sussex Senior Cup final. -- Rocks fans have limited time to pick up tickets for the club's Sussex Senior Cup final against Burgess Hill Town on May 7 at Brighton & Hove Albion's THe Amex stadium. Tickets priced £10 adults, £5 concessions and under 16s £3 can be bought in advance from the Rocks' club shop at the following times; today (Friday, April 26) - 12.30pm to 4pm; tomorrow 10am to 11am; Monday (April 29) - 12.30pm to 2.30pm.

Chi celebrate as Lions suffer IT'S been a tale of two seasons for Chichester City and Pagham as the local rivals wrap up their SCFL Premier campaigns in very different moods. For City, 2018/19 will always be a year to remember as they have won promotion to step four of non-league for the first time. Pagham, meanwhile, have seen their season peter out as the club are currently in the midst of an eight match losing streak. Both sides met on Easter Monday with Chi showing why they have been crowned champions, defeating the Lions 5-0 with Josh Clack (3) and Scott Jones (2) scoring. It was a bad holiday period for Pagham as Saturday saw them lose 4-0 to fellow midtable side East Preston. Lions will hope to end the season on a winning note when they welcome relegation-threatened Eastbourne United to Nyetimber Lane tomorrow (3pm). Chi, who have won their last ten in the league, head to Eastbourne Town tomorrow (3pm) looking to end their title-winning season on a high.

We'll be looking to thank the fans for their support
PLAYING two matches in three days is hard at any level. But when you're getting into your late 20s you really start to feel it! On reflection, we had two tough matches over Easter and a point was probably what we deserved. At Dorking, while we performed a lot better in the second half, we did not create that many chances. I think they had too many seasoned players for us which meant they controlled the key passages and were sensible in the way they played. We tried to press but couldn't get near them and we also struggled at the back. I think it's fair to say that a lot of our problems come from not having that experience. THings like communication, going with the runners, decision-making - it can be difficult to get those things right first time, especially when like us you have a young back five who are still learning the game. In the second half we did have a couple of chances to get back into it. But I think Dorking knew what they were doing and knew they were in control of the match so perhaps let us back into it a little bit. THen it was on to Whitehawk on Monday. Even though we had beaten them twice quite comprehensively early in the season, it was a completely different side we were playing against and a completely different side we had playing for us. Both sides had chances to score but perhaps a draw was a fair result. It's fair to say that we are lacking in confidence as a side at the moment - there's no other way of describing it. We are all frustrated with ourselves for the performances we have been putting in. THe effort is there but we're just not
getting the results. As it is, we are not where the fans expected us to be. But with the squad we have and the injuries that we have, the current team we are putting out perhaps does not have the know how to be challenging at this level. We need to be more clinical and quicker in attack which we have not been in recent months. We are taking too many touches in the final third which is allowing opponents to get in to position to defend. We must try to do better tomorrow at Folkestone. It will be a match for the fans and we will be looking to put in a performance to thank those who are making the trip. THey will be pushing for the playoffs so it is up to us to try to ruin their party. It's also important for us to take form into the cup final. I've always said the Sussex Senior Cup is more for the fans to have a day out. THe majority of our supporters only come to our home matches and this year we have been dreadful at the Lane. For that reason, I hope that we can give them a day to remember while hopefully getting our hands on a trophy. Burgess Hill will not be easy though. THey've started picking up points so we'll need to prepare in the right way. For me personally I have played at THe Amex twice before. It's the best I will ever play at and, after losing the first two, I am desperate to win a game of football there. It's an unreal place to be in as at some point this season some of the best players in the world have been there so I will try to enjoy every minute. Before that, though, we have a league match to focus on and I hope we can end the year with a win.
