Regeneration talks deferred Plenty of
Bognor Road, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20 1EJ Tel. 01243 756170 BrickKilnGardenCentre TOWN councillors have adopted a wait and see approach to the regeneration of Bognor Regis. THey agreed to defer a decision about inviting the Sir Richard Hotham Project team behind a multi-million-pound scheme to meet them. THey said it made sense to delay the presentation until the position of the new Lib Dem-run Arun District Council had become clear.
Arun’s ruling cabinet members are due to discuss the future of the Pavilion Park scheme next Monday. Newly-elected member Cllr Wayne Smith (LD, Hotham) had asked the town council at its meeting on Monday to agree to hear what the Sir Richard Hotham Project had to say about its £90m vision for the Hothamton site. “One of the reasons I stood for the council was for the good of Bognor Regis

and the people in it. For a good few years, things have been happening in Bognor Regis and regeneration is one of them. “I have spent some time looking at the Sir Richard Hotham Project in some detail. I believe, at the moment, it is the best opportunity for Bognor Regis.” THe project had been amended since its early versions, he said, and consisted of more than the flats many people opposed it for.

An extraordinary meeting would enable the town council to hear a 20-minute presentation from those behind the project followed by a question and answer session. “We can hear what they have got to say, who they have got on board, where they want to go and who they have got behind them,” he said.

INDEPENDENT businesses in Bognor Regis are being backed by its town centre improvement body. THe town's business improvement district (BID) is celebrating this week's independents' day. THe BID's four your High Street campaign began yesterday and will run for four days to mark the date of July 4. THe group is encouraging owners of small businesses to create offers around the number four, such as showcasing goods available for ÂŁ4 and promoting special offers such as four items for the price of three. Bognor Regis BID chairman Paul Wells said: "Local independent businesses make up a huge part of Bognor Regis' unique high street. "We're proud to support our independents, who have committed their hope, time, finances and energy to making their businesses work in Bognor Regis, particularly in difficult trading times. "THe high street can only keep its character with the support of both the local community and the thousands of visitors who come to our beautiful seaside town year on year. "Come and support local businesses where and when you can and help our town to continue to grow and thrive."
Independents' Day UK highlights the unique flavour that independent retailers and businesses bring to the country's town centres. It is based around the famous date of July 4, American Independence Day. THe not-for-profit campaign to support and promote independent retail businesses across the UK all year round, but with an annual focus on July 4. Independent businesses account for about 65 per cent of some 290,000 retail outlets in the UK and are at the heart of local communities throughout the country. THe latest shop survey confirms two out of three - 66 per cent - of ground floor businesses operating in the Bognor Regis BID area are independently owned and operated. A spokesman for the BID said: "In addition to social media and press coverage about the event itself, independent retailers will be given a chalkboard-style sign to promote their special offers or show how supporting their unique independent businesses has a direct impact on the local community. "Brightly-coloured banners which highlight the range of Bognor Regis's fantastic independent retailers will be displayed on London Road until the end of July."
Hedgehog find leads to plea to consider them in gardens A ROSE GREEN resident has urged homeowners to be aware of the harm chemicals can cause to hedgehogs. Cynthia Weeks found one of the creatures in a poor state in Rose Green Road recently. Despite her best efforts, it died soon afterwards. She said: "It didn't seem to be injured or have any other obvious problems. It wasn't particularly thirsty or hungry, either. "So, I can only think it must have picked up some poison." Cynthia spoke to Brent Lodge animal rescue centre. Its experts said this could have been through slug
pellets, which the hedgehog could have absorbed after eating slugs killed by the pellets, or rat poison left in plastic trays under sheds or similar places. "People don't necessarily realise that doing that could cause the death of a hedgehog," she said. She found the hedgehog on a recent Sunday morning on a verge opposite THe Nurseries. She added: "I just want to highlight the situation to people so they are aware of what can happen. People don't realise what the effect can be of putting the poison out."

f David Bone, centre left, with the plaque to Martin Venables RECOGNITION has been given to a geologist who put the past of Bognor Regis on the map. THe late Martin Venables (1901-1990) has become the subject of the latest of ten blue plaques to be installed by the Bognor Regis Heritage Partnership Board, with Bognor Regis Town Council. It has been placed on the promenade wall close to Bognor Regis Yacht Club. Mr Venables discovered and named several prehistoric fossils on that stretch of shoreline with the Bognor Rocks. THe plaque's unveiling was carried out by fellow geologist David Bone. He said: "Martin was the most influential geologist locally. "In particular, he published two papers in 1929 and 1963 on the geology of this shoreline. THere are things here which have national relevance."
THe seabed west of the town's pier is a Site of Scientific Special Interest because of the importance of its geology. "THe Bognor Rocks are a very visual component of that but they are only a small part," he said. "Martin discovered the clay exposed on the beach yielded fossils, in particular a beetle. THese fossils are from 50 million years ago." Mr Venables was born in 1901 and his parents moved to Bognor from Sutton in Surrey when he was a year old. He was self-taught and had been fascinated by the natural history of Sussex from a young age. His knowledge led to him being elected to the fellowship of the Geology Society in 1928. With his wife, Alice May Portnall, he found many new species among the flora and fauna on the seabed. Mr Bone said he was delighted with the
new plaque. "I first met Martin around 1968 when I made my first expedition to the beach with him as part of a geology group he was involved in. It was absolutely phenomenal. "I knew Martin through the old museum in Lyon Street. I volunteered to help there as a teenager because of my interest in geology. "Martin guided me. I was very much his protege. He passed on his knowledge to me and I have expanded that knowledge. "It was Martin that got me started. I really do owe an awful lot to him." Town council projects officer Sheila Hodgson said: "It's important to recognise the people who have contributed to the town's heritage. "We hope people will look at the plaque and want to find out more about Mr Venables."

INITIAL talks to enable Bognor Regis’ residents to own the town's civic heart again will start next week. Town councillors agreed unanimously to begin discussions about the future ownership of the town hall with Arun District Council. THose talks will start on Tuesday with the first liaison meeting between the councils since May’s elections saw the Liberal Democrats take the prime positions on both authorities for the first time. THe transfer of the town hall to the town – and contents such as its portrait of the town’s founder, Sir Richard Hotham - for a nominal £1 will be one of the main items on the agenda. Hotham Park, the running of seafront concessions, the promenade and town centre car parks will also be included after a series of votes at Monday’s town council meeting. Deputy town mayor Cllr Steve Goodheart said: “THis brings back what Bognor is all about. We are talking about reclaiming what our heritage is all about.” He welcomed the prospect of the town council taking control of Hotham Park. “THe opportunities in the park are phenomenal. We could make facilities in the park to make it a more enjoyable destination. THere are so many things Arun have not done.,” he said. THe series of votes was prompted by a motion by Cllr Adam Cunard (I, Hatherleigh). He said: “THis is a good opportunity to open a dialogue with
the new administration at Arun. “Many of the new party over there have been vocal about the transfer of this town hall back to the town. “We have been a council for many years who have wanted to grow the services we do for this town. THis is a good opportunity for us to start.” Cllr Jim Brooks (I, Marine) was quoted in the Post in May calling for the building’s return and said: “I very much support this matter. It has been a wish for many years. “We are now in the 91st year of this building. A lot of improvements could be made if we owned it. “We can make a go of it – and, yes, we would have to look carefully at costs.” Cllr Matt Stanley (LD, Marine) said his party had supported the town hall’s return in its election manifesto in the Post in April. “I welcome the principle of the town hall being returned. It is something I have previously wanted as well.” Cllr Alison Sharples (L, Marine) said she was concerned the town council could over-stretch its finances. “Could we afford to maintain the town hall? I’m not sure we could afford to keep it going as a town council,” she said. Glenna Frost, the town council’s clerk, said the public’s views had to be heard on the matter before any final decision was taken. “Before we do anything, we should be seeking public consultation on whether we should go forward with this. Let’s open the discussions and see where we go.”

` Cannabis raids CANNABIS worth more than £1m has been recently seized by police in Bognor Regis. THe total street value of the class B drug from the results of just four warrants was put by Inspector Steve Turner at £1.2m. Some 2,000 cannabis plants were confiscated in the raids, Insp Turner of Sussex Police’s Arun prevention team told Bognor Regis town councillors on Monday. He said five people had also been freed from modern slavery as a result of the action by a single team of officers. THe police had been told their disruptive action on the drugs trade was making it difficult for dealers to find a base in Bognor Regis. THis was a good indication the work of the police, and their partners, was having an impact, he said. THe police were confident of achieving a fourth house closure order around the town soon to add to the three gained at the end of last year as a result of illegal activity.

Judge rejects Pagham's bid A HIGH Court judge yesterday turned down an attempt by Pagham councillors to quash planning approval for hundreds of homes. Mrs Justice Andrews ruled Pagham Parish Council's judicial review was unjustified. She said Arun District Council was correct in granting outline planning permission for 400 homes on land south of Summer Lane. She handed down her judgment yesterday morning after a hearing on June 25 in which both sides put their cases. She said the parish council, which was represented by Ashley Rowe QC, had failed to prove its case that members of Arun's development control committee were misdirected about the impact of the housing on heritage assets in the area. Cllr David Huntley, a member of Pagham and Arun councils, said: "I am very disappointed with this decision. "THe parish council will continue to pursue at Pagham and district level how to get these strategic sites allocations of housing, like Summer Lane, reversed. "In particular, we are fighting the plans for Hook Lane, Summer Lane, Sefter Road and Church Barton Farm. "We don't want any of these houses to be built, really. THey will mean an increase in housing beyond what we wanted in our neighbourhood plan. We have 190 homes being built already. "But it was worthwhile going to the High Court because our residents would expect us to fight this matter as far as we can. THe
judgment could have gone the other way." Mr Rowe had told the High Court hearing members of the development control committee at their meeting last November 2018 had been given only a partial quotation of Historic England's advice about how the homes' presence would affect the appearance of the Grade I-listed St THomas a'Becket Church when they approved the outline plans for development. He alleged the importance of the open farmland to the significance of the church tower was omitted from the report to the committee. But Mrs Justice Andrews, who had reserved her judgment at the hearing, said this was not the case. Cllr Huntley said a host of reasons, as well as the heritage aspect, existed why the housing near Summer Lane should not go ahead, said Cllr Huntley. "I have a particular problem with this scheme because it is right next to Pagham Harbour local nature reserve. THe pets from the people who live in those houses will cause problems there. "It will also involve the loss of the best and most versatile agricultural land. THe sewage system will not be able to cope, either," he added. THe developer of the housing, Hanbury (PM) Ltd, has to compile detailed plans for the housing, and receive approval for them, before it can begin work on the homes. Arun has been contacted for a response to the decision by Mrs Justice Andrews.

Cyclists are best of British CHARITY cyclists from Bognor Regis could become the Pride of Britain. THe joint founder of one of the charities being backed by the Pink Pub riders said he was considering putting them forward for the annual awards. THe national gongs are presented each November in a glittering ceremony hosted by ITV. Dan Arnold, who helped to found All Call Signs last year as a peer to peer communications app for veterans and serving military personnel, said: “I think these guys are deserving of a Pride of Britain award. I hope if they are nominated that the people of Bognor Regis back them.” THe charity was set up after the loss of former Bognor Regis soldier Danny Johnson last year. Dan spoke at the presentation event where a £132,059.30 cheque was handed over to All Calls Signs and Last Night A DJ Saved My Life. THe celebration last Saturday at the Pink Pub, or THe Royal Oak, in North Bersted, was enjoyed by hundreds of supporters. He said the event summed up the achievement of the 26 cyclists who rode to Pegasus Bridge in northern France for D-Day 75 last month. “I can’t stress enough how amazing the people of Bognor Regis have been to All Call Signs,” he said. “I don’t know how many other communities would have given as much as the Pink Pub riders have. THey are just brilliant.” THe cyclists left the pub on June 3 dressed in Home Guard uniforms from the Second World War riding wartime bicycles. THey cycled 141 miles to Portsmouth and from Cherbourg along the D-Day
beaches in Normandy to Pegasus Bridge near Caen. THey arrived on the 75th anniversary of D-Day on June 6. THeir ages ranged from 30 to 55. One of them, Richard Scopes, 47, said: “I can’t believe how much we have raised. We were unsure when we started if we would attract as much attention as we did on our first ride five years ago. “But, I would say, we gained even more support. When we rode up here from Butlin’s people were tooting and waving
at us and leaning out of windows to see us.” Even more funds are due to be donated. Butlin’s is giving up its gate receipts on a day this month to provide another boost. THe online page for donations is open until December 31. THe proceeds will be split 90 per cent share for All Call Signs and the rest to Last Night A DJ Saved My Life to support children in crisis. “It’s also nice for All Call Signs. Being such a new entity, it’s nice to give them a boost. THey can carry out their five-year
plan in 18 months," said Richard. He said the ride was a challenge because of frequent breakdowns with the bikes. “THe ride was not the hard part but it was difficult having to constantly stop because of the cycles,” he said. A third ride could be possible but it would require detailed planning. “It could happen in a few years’ time but it takes a lot of sorting and three months out of our lives,” he added. THe original ride – to Paris – took place five years ago and raised £125,000.
f Celebrations at the cyclists' cheque handover
Spate of arson attacks INVESTIGATIONS have begun to catch the arsonists behind a series of fires in the Bognor Regis area. Six arson attacks were reported across the town last weekend. THe series of blazes has prompted West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service to work with Arun District Council's anti-social behaviour team to find those responsible. THey have warned small fires can quickly escalate to a potentially life-threatening blaze. Tackling them can also divert vital resources away from other serious incidents. THe fires have been set in various locations. THey have included parks, residential areas and close to commercial premises. Chris Bowles, the fire station manager for Bognor Regis, East Wittering and Selsey, said: "THe number of suspected deliberate fires we have dealt with in the town is concerning, and I would urge those responsible to think twice about their actions. "Fires started deliberately can be particularly dangerous because they generally develop much faster. A fire that is started in a bin can spread to
nearby properties or vehicles. "What have may started as a small fire, very quickly puts people's lives, homes and businesses at risk." Last Friday night saw crews from Bognor Regis Fire Station called to deal with the following fires: *5.46pm - fire in the open involving tyres, Harbour Road, Pagham *7.36pm - reports of multiple fires in woodland off Harbour Road, Pagham *7.50pm - an area of about 5sq m of cut grass was set on fire in a field near Whitfield Close *9.04pm - bin on fire in Marine Drive West Further incidents occurred last weekend. Residents who live near the Hook Lane playground in Pagham chased off a group of young people who had set the climbing frame on fire. Last Saturday saw the town's firefighters called at 3.42pm to a fire in a field off Mayfields Close, which is believed to have been caused by young people who were playing with fire. THe fire and rescue service works with the police to prosecute those who start fires deliberately.

From page one has been granted planning consent to redevelop the Regis Centre and Hothamton sites with far-reaching plans. THey involve retail and leisure boardwalk, flats and a hotel to replace the Regis Centre – keeping a theatre for the community charity Arun Arts – and a 1,100-seat theatre, flats and another hotel at Hothamton in Queensway. His fellow councillors welcomed the idea but said they believed it was premature. Cllr Phil Woodall, the town mayor, said: “I agree this is a good idea and it should go ahead but let’s wait for the cabinet meeting at Arun to see what their plans are and we can go from there.” Cllr Adam Cunard (I, Hatherleigh) said: “THis is feeling a bit premature. Until we get a steer from Arun, the opportunities for regeneration in Bognor are completely open. At the end of the day, Arun has got the final say over this. Everything should be on hold until Arun come back and let us know how they will proceed.” Cllr Jim Brooks (I, Marine) said he would welcome the chance to hear from the Sir Richard Hotham Project. But other regeneration proposers, such as 4BR and Re-invigorate, should also be invited to make presentations as well. “THere are a lot of good ideas out there. I would like to see the lot. If we are going to invite one, we should invite the lot,” he said. Cllr Matt Stanley (I, Marine) supported him. He said: “I would also be interested in sitting through a presentation from the Sir Richard Hotham Project and any other regeneration groups that would be interested in coming in and having a presentation.”

Friday, July 5, 2019 f Piotr Ciosek's trailer rejected by councillors
Street trader is told 'try again' A COOK had his bid to sell food in Bognor Regis town centre rejected because of his downmarket trailer. Piotr Ciosek was told councillors liked his idea of providing organic beef burgers. But they believed the mobile unit from which he wanted to trade would not benefit the London Road precinct. Cllr John Charles, chairman of Arun District Council's licensing subcommittee, said: "We have discussed this at length and we reluctantly refuse the application because it does not improve the town centre. "However, we are extremely happy with the offering and the food side and we want to encourage you to discuss with our officers, the stakeholders and the Bognor Regis Improvement District representatives to improve on your market stall. We wish you all the best." He suggested Mr Ciosek looked at the seafront outlets to see how he could gain the sub-committee's approval. "I think this (stall) would do you more harm than good. I probably shouldn't say that but I am trying to help you. "You should talk to our officers and then re-apply at a later date," he said. Council licensing officer Sarah Meerten said: "We will provide some guidance to Mr Ciosek." He began those talks straight after last Friday's meeting. Mr Ciosek had applied for street trading consent to site his stall in the precinct to sell burgers, tortillas, and hot and cold drinks as the King of Tastes. His intended hours of business were 8am to 3pm at weekends. His mobile unit would measure 7ft x 5ft.
Mr Ciosek said he was inspired to seek to start a business because of the problems he and his family had found in buying healthy food when they were out in the town. "None of the restaurants are able to satisfy my family because they all want different things," he said. "We try to eat good quality, organic food, which as we know these days is really, really difficult. We are not the only family in Bognor Regis like this. "THe benefit people will get out of my business is with that type of food." Mr Ciosek had applied to sell food for a year. He had offered to paint his trailer in a colour of the sub-committee's choosing and create a logo its members liked. *Mrs Meerten told the committee she intended to create a new street trading policy for Bognor Regis to reflect the improved town centre. "THere have been some enhancements to the public realm and it's consider important to review our street trading policy in line with these improvements so we can be sure street trading provision in this area enhances the offering for customers," she said. THe policy would consider which traders would best improve the precinct, benefit shoppers and increase footfall. "If we consider this with what we already have on the high street, we need to have a balance between the number of street traders and local businesses. "We will be considering if traders bring a positive addition to the town centre," she added. Work on the new policy should start this summer.
Housing rejected for Yapton farm FEARS that Yapton was being strangled by housing led to plans for more homes to be narrowly rejected. THe outline scheme for 33 dwellings was thrown out by councillors because it was planned for top class farmland. THey overturned the advice of their planning officers after Arun District Council development control committee acting chairman, Cllr Isobel THurston, used her casting vote against the houses to break a 4-4 tie with five abstentions. Cllr Martin Lury (LD, Bersted), who was the meeting’s vice-chairman, said he agreed with Yapton Parish Council’s view the site should be kept as a green lung among the new housing. “THis is grade one agricultural land. THat is a rare resource and one we should be preserving. THis is ‘concrete-isation’ of the land. You can’t take every piece of green land and look to build on it,” he said. Committee member Cllr Hugh Coster (I, Aldwick E) said the use of Grade One
agricultural land for housing conflicted with policies in Arun’s local plan, Yapton’s neighbourhood plan and the government’s national policy planning framework. “THis is the death by strangulation of a thousand planning permissions. THis is effectively beginning to strangle the northern access of Yapton with these applications,” he said. Cllr Henry Jones (LD, Yapton) told the committee: “You are looking at nearly 3,000 extra houses in one (council) ward over the next decade, which will double the population of this ward, which is frankly not sustainable for North End Road. THe traffic on that road is quite congested.” Paul White, Domusea’s planning agent, said: “THis part of Yapton has been the focus for development because it’s a very good sustainable location for housing, close to facilities, the school and local transport.” THe houses would be a mix of two, three and four-bed properties.

f Pupils from St Mary's Catholic Primary School on their visit
A YAPTON man who died in a collision in the village has been named by Sussex Police. Jose Bruno Aveiro-Leca, 51, of Downview Road, died at the scene when the motorcycle he was riding collided with a van in Burndell Road around 9am on June 20. Anyone who saw what happened has been asked to contact the police, quoting Operation Flagpole, at: sussex.police.uk
` Housing backed AN EXTRA 23 homes on top of 268 already agreed for Nyton Nursery, in Nyton Road, Westergate, have been agreed by Arun District Council. Councillors also granted planning permission for 55 houses at Wings Nursery, in Lidsey Road, Woodgate, at the same meeting of the development control committee.
` Carnival caption WE have been asked to point out the wrong caption was placed with one of the photographs in last week's carnival coverage. THe float pictured came from Chestnuts Day Centre in Bognor Regis rather than St Wilfrid's Church. We are happy to put the record straight.
` Plan scrapped A BID to create a gym club in the former Bognor Regis ambulance station has been withdrawn by Kris Domey because of planning delays.
Pupils find out the facts on recycling CHILDREN from a Bognor Regis school have been behind the scenes to discover what happens to recycling from their homes. THe latest generation of young recyclers visited the Materials Recycling Facility in Ford, which is run by Viridor on behalf of West Sussex County Council. THe all-expenses paid trip was organised after St Mary's Catholic Primary School won a competition earlier this year as part of a green month. Head teacher Peter Edgington said: "It is so important for children to understand how important it is to reduce, reuse and recycle. THe children saw all the materials first hand today and realised how important recycling is to the future of the planet." THe key stage 2 pupils got out to head out to the viewing platform which sits above the facility's specialist machinery to see
how recycling is sorted, bunkered and baled ready to be made into new products. THey took part in a quiz to learn which items can go into a kerbside recycling bin and were told why it is so important to try to reduce or reuse as well as recycle. THey also watched a Wastebuster video explaining how waste is created and the process it goes through from the home to being recycled into new items. As part of their environmental work at the school in Glamis Street, the pupils have been studying how to cut its use of water. THey have also been weighing its food waste bins and encouraging their friends to have smaller portions to reduce leftovers. Cllr Deborah Urquhart, the county council's cabinet member for environment, said: "I was delighted to meet the pupils and so encouraged to see them genuinely interested inhow they can help us to recycle more and waste less."

Scouting in Bognor Regis is best for fellow districts in county to follow PIONEERING work is being carried out by Scouts and their leaders in Bognor Regis. County commissioner Robert Sawyer said the Scouting district which covered the town was the best in West Sussex at involving young people in its work. "THey are leading the way in West Sussex. THey have got a lot of young people in leadership roles and, in the past year, they have had a number of members gain the Queen's Scout Award. which is the highest award in Scouting. "THere are also five Scouts from here going to the jamboree in America. "Especially on the youth side, there are one or two other districts that I would recommend taking a look at what is going on in Bognor Regis. It is somewhere that is going in the right direction," he said. THe Scouting district of Bognor Regis is one of the smallest in area of the ten in West Sussex. But Mr Sawyer said it punched well above its weight when it came to taking part in county-wide activities. "THey always support what we are doing. At a Go Beaver event recently, there were 100 from Bognor Regis out of 800 in all," he said. THe popularity of Scouting around the town showed the movement was still relevant to young people as the 21st century progressed. "Scouting is about finding your feet and gaining confidence in a safe place. THey may not be able to find their voice but coming to Scouting enables them to do that," said Mr Sawyer.
He made his remarks at the Bognor Regis and District Scouts' annual meeting last week. THe event at the Newtown Sports and Social Club saw awards presented to the leading Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers of the past year. Tsunami Explorer Harry Mason scooped two individual awards and earned a share of a team award. He was named as the young leader of the year and the Explorer Scout of the year as well as being one of the Explorers who gained the Bill Robinson Award. Engineering student Harry, 17, said: "It feels really good to have won these awards. I've been in Scouting for about 10 years. It has given me more confidence. "It's all about meeting new people and it's like having a second family. "I like the activities, canoeing and climbing are my favourite ones, and being a Young Leader and helping to push the next generation of Scouts." He also credited Scouting with helping his ambition to become a product designer and engineering after he has finished his current course at Chichester College. THe Scout of the year award was presented to Daniel Boon, 13, of 1st Felpham Scouts. "Some of my friends were in Scouting and I decided to join them about seven years ago," he said. "I wanted to do something outside school with them. "I like the activities, particularly sailing. I sail Toppers, which are small twoman sailing boats, off Felpham every Wednesday." THe award was the second for Daniel after
he won the Leaping Wolf award a few years ago when he moved from Cubs to Scouts. Acting district commissioner Ken Poupart told the meeting: "THe popularity of Scouting in the district does not abate and, unfortunately, as a result of this we have waiting lists in some parts of the district. "THe recruitment of leaders is, and always will be, a continuing difficulty, as essentially we are trying to take them from the families of the young people who want to join, and young families have demands of their own in today's world." Some of the shortfall was made up by the Young Leaders who used their free time to put back into Scouting what they had gained in their earlier years, he said. THe number of Cubs, Beavers and Scouts in the Bognor Regis district is 578, the same as the previous year. THey are helped by about 100 leaders. THe full list of award winners was: Beaver of the year: Caitlin McIntosh; Cub of the year: Evie Reed-Harman; Scout of the year: Daniel Boon; Young Leader of the year: Harry Mason; Explorer Scout of the year: Harry Mason. Chairman's Bowl: Christine Beckett; District Commissioner's Award: Dave Morris; Bill Robinson Award: District Explorers; John Adsett Award: Caroline Summerfield: Chief Scout's 25 year award: Rosemary Phillips, pictured right, 30 year award: Jean Hall; 50 year award: Carol Sayers.

Duke opens trust's new HQ
A DECADE of dreaming has formally ended at an Aldingbourne site. THe Duke of Richmond declared the headquarters of the Aldingbourne Trust as formally open in his role as the charity's patron. THe ceremony and celebration at the £4m Quarry Building at the Aldingbourne Country Centre was the result of planning by the trust which dated back to 2009. THe Duke said: "THe Quarry Building is the culmination of 10 years of designing, securing support, funding and construction. "It offers a new vision for social care where local businesses, the community and people who have learning disabilities and/or autism can learn, work and prosper. "It's a model which is attracting international attention. THe impressive building is a new West Sussex gem which I would encourage everyone to visit." THe Duke's family have supported the Aldingbourne Trust, for many years. His father opened the centre's wood recycling project in 2006. Some of this wood is powering the three-storey Quarry Building, which came into use last September. THe country centre is in Blackmill Lane, just north of the A27. It boasts an indoor slide, a cafe, meeting rooms and a shop for members of the public to use. Two of the centre's members, Sean Simmonds and James Weller, spoke to guests about how much they enjoy being involved with all the opportunities on offer at the centre and their pride in the Quarry Building.

James said: "THe new building means a lot to me. It is a place to chat to the public, a place to work, have fun and learn new skills." Representatives of the Aldingbourne Trust took the chance at last THursday's opening ceremony to thank everyone involved in supporting its fundraising to develop and improve the facilities at the country centre. THis included people who had jumped out of planes, scaled the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, cycled across the UK and Europe, and run marathons. Special thanks were also given to the Coast to Capital local economic partnership for its backing. Tony Middleton, its chief operating officer, said: "We are delighted to support the Aldingbourne Trust. THe space here is truly inspiring." THe country centre also has an open farm, new children's play areas, a horse rug washing and repair service, and a horticulture area. THe Aldingbourne Trust is an awardwinning charity that helps people with learning disabilities and/or autism to have the same chances as everyone else to live independent lives. It was founded in August, 1978, by three parents whose sons were at a Mencap rural training site near Yeovil and were facing an uncertain future. THe parents leased 15 acres at Aldingbourne House, a 60-bed holiday home for patients with a learning disability run by Surrey Health Authority. THey had no experience of training or horticulture but made a success of the new venture.

THe company's planning agent, Paul Hughes, said in an email to the council: "We have received instructions from our client to withdraw the application for the retention of the seasonal workers accommodation at Newlands Nursery." As reported, residents around the nursery were angry at the plan. Pagham Parish Council had also objected because its members feared the site would become an accommodation hub for workers from other nurseries. Between 93 and 186 employees would have been housed there from February to November.

A problem may start as a minor niggle, and before you know it you’ve learned to live with it, putting any concerns aside as you get on with your life. Also, you may not know that you can be treated.

Homeless crisis WEST SUSSEX County Council has been warned it is ‘sleepwalking into a potentially catastrophic situation’ over the services it offers to vulnerable adults. By April, 2020, the council will have cut its housing related support budget by £4m to £2.3m, with a review of the contracts it runs being held in September. THe cuts left service providers such as Stonepillow in shock, with concerns about the consequences for homeless people, vulnerable adults and older people. At a meeting of the health and adult social care select committee (HASC) earlier this month, members were told that thousands of people needed the services, a figure Cllr Dr James Walsh described as ‘staggeringly shocking’. THe council was recently on the receiving end of a damning Ofsted report, which rated its children’s services ‘inadequate’, followed closely by a highly critical report into its fire and rescue services. Cllr Walsh was loath to see the bad news continue. He said: “My view is that we are, as a select committee and a council, sleep walking into a potentially
catastrophic situation for West Sussex. “We had a very critical review of Ofsted of the children’s services of this county council. I don’t want to be here in two or three years’ time when we have a similar outside body coming and telling us that we’ve failed in our duty across the public service.” THe meeting was provided with details of which were likely to receive funding after September and which were not. Funding to support older people in their homes was listed as ‘unlikely’ to continue, while support for homeless exoffenders was described as ‘not a priority for funding’. THe task and finish group has been working with consultants Snook – ‘who specialise in trying to unravel systems and how they work’ – to look at and understand the current and future needs of the county’s homeless community. After hearing about the budget cuts, the service providers banded together to form a coalition, attending workshops with the task and finish group and being kept informed about the approach being taken.

New recruits WEST SUSSEX Fire & Rescue Service has welcomed nine new retained (oncall) firefighters to its ranks following an intensive two week training programme. Having been put through their paces in the yard at Worthing Fire Station they welcomed family and friends to a pass out parade on Friday, June 21. THey will now join the crews at a number of fire stations across the county to provide on-call support. Many of the new recruits have full-time jobs elsewhere in their communities. Living or working in close proximity the station, they can be paged at any time of the day to respond to an emergency situation. THe course marked a return to West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service for Chris Relf, who will be joining the ranks of East Wittering Fire Station in addition to his day job at West Sussex Alternative Provisions College in North Mundham, having previously served at Bosham Fire Station. He said: "THe best thing is the
camaraderie, we are all in it together. Having done it before I would definitely advise anyone to give it a go. Everyone looks out for each other and you get to do some really, really interesting things." Galo David Choez Loor is the newest recruit to join Chichester Fire Station. Living and working in the city at a coffee shop, he was keen to explore something new. He said: "I love helping people, that was one of my main incentives for doing this. “I would encourage anyone who wants to become an on call firefighter to do so. It is a hard course but it is really rewarding, and it gives you real skills for life. You study and work with people from different backgrounds so you get to meet a lot of different people." West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service is currently recruiting retained firefighters across the county. For more information visit: westsussex. gov.uk/fire
People in possession of unwanted guns or ammunition are being encouraged to hand them in as part of a campaign to make Sussex safer. Many firearms are held in innocence and ignorance of their illegality, or are overlooked and forgotten in people’s homes. Others are acquired and distributed by criminal networks to harm, threaten and intimidate their local communities. THis appeal gives people the chance to dispose of firearms or ammunition by simply handing them in at their local police station – a list of opening times and locations can be found below. During the surrender period, those surrendering firearms will not face prosecution for illegal possession of a firearm at the point of surrender of the firearm to lawful authority, and they can remain anonymous. However, this surrender does not mean police will not investigate firearms offences, should any come to light, once the operation has concluded. THis is a firearms surrender; not a firearms amnesty, and police are committed to reduce the harm to our communities from firearms crime. THe surrender, which runs from Monday to Sunday, August 4, forms part of a national campaign by the National Ballistics Intelligence Service (NABIS). THe aim of the operation, is to reduce the number of illegally held firearms in circulation. You can find more information by visiting: legislation.gov.uk/ ukpga/2017/3/section/128
f Ann and Bob appear in pioneering film
Charity's unique dementia service A CHARITY which works in Bognor Regis and Chichester has released a new film about the impact living with dementia has on families. THe film, made by Dementia Support, looks at Ann and Bob, a couple from the area, who have been affected by dementia and hugely benefited from the support provided by the charity. Bob was diagnosed back in 2014 and, since becoming his primary carer, Ann felt increasingly isolated and swamped with leaflets. She found comfort in Sage House, Dementia Support's care centre in Tangmere. Ann said: “If we hadn’t found Dementia Support, I would never have been able to find the support Jacquie, my Wayfinder, has put in place. "THere was nowhere we could go before Sage House was open. "I can talk to people, Bob can talk to people, and if I’m not coping well, I know I can come to Dementia Support.” THe unique Wayfinders provide support for families and help them find their way through the dementia journey. A Wayfinder is an individual who will supply personalised guidance for people with dementia and their families. Dementia Support recently launched its £1m Wayfinder Appeal
to expand their services into the community. Dementia Support, set up in 2014, currently only reaches 10 per cent of people living with dementia and the appeal will go towards more Wayfinder appointments, along with activity opportunities such as yoga mats for THai Chi sessions. THe charity hopes to take away the inevitable stress that comes when bombarded with information and forms after a diagnosis. Sage House was opened in May last year by the Countess of Wessex. THe centre offers information and advice, as well as day care, activities, and therapy rooms. It also offers a smart zone, using innovative technology to help individuals keep up to date with the latest technology while still keeping their independence. Figures produced by West Sussex County Council and the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group estimates that there are currently 14,820 people living in West Sussex with dementia. THis number is set to increase a further 26 per cent by 2021. As one in six people over the age of 80 currently has dementia in the UK, the charity aims to give quality care to help reduce loneliness for those living with, or caring for someone with, dementia.

Council return dental toolkit BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE county council’s award-winning dental toolkit is back and this time it is being used to help more people than ever. THe dental toolkit is part of the West Sussex sugar reduction programme. It has seen the council’s public health team work alongside the Local Dental Committee, Health Education England and Public Health England to develop the toolkit for dentists to help promote a healthier lifestyle for patients. THis work has raised awareness of the harms of sugar on teeth and its effect on general health; too much sugar can lead to an internal build-up of harmful fat. THe presence of this fat around vital organs can cause weight gain and serious diseases in the future, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
First launched in May, 2018, the fourweek pilot ran in 12 dental practices across West Sussex. Aligned to the national Change4Life and ‘top tips for teeth’ campaigns, the toolkit included badges, stickers, promotional materials, social media links and prescription pads supporting dental teams to promote sugar reduction awareness among patients. Patients were also directed to healthy lifestyle services within their local wellbeing hub for more support if required. Following the success of the pilot, it was named a national award winner at the Public Health England Conference in Warwick. And now it is being rolled out to all dentists across the county in a bid to promote better dental health among residents. Children across the country are eating an extra 2,800 sugar cubes a year, which is more than double the recommended
amount. Too much sugar is bad for children’s health and can also cause painful tooth decay. Every 10 minutes, a child in England has a tooth removed in hospital. Cllr Amanda Jupp, the county council’s cabinet member for adults and health, said: “I know our public health team has been working remarkably hard on the dental toolkit, so it is incredibly rewarding to see it receive such a positive response from dentists across the county. "THere are some really straightforward steps that all of us can take to help improve our dental health which will prevent bigger problems further down the line. “I hope everyone who visits their dentist will be able to embrace this initiative and take it forward into their everyday lives.” West Sussex families are encouraged to visit Change4Life for healthier snacking ideas at: nhs.uk/change4life

LETTERS to the editor
Readers' letters are welcomed by the Bognor Regis Post. They should be limited to less than 300 words and be submitted by 5pm on Monday to be considered for publication in that week's edition.

Dear Editor, I note with interest the sign now displayed at the entrance to the London Road shops stating that cycling was against the law on the pavement and I believe it is also being prohibited in London Road. I must agree with this as nearly every day in Bognor Regis there are adults cycling on the pavement and, unfortunately, you do not hear them coming. In these days of health and safety, I find it amazing this is still being tolerated and I am sure before long someone will be knocked over. Although I agree with this law, who is going to enforce it as you never see a police officer in Bognor Regis, but perhaps the officials employed to fine people for litter dropping or fouling of the pavement could take on the responsibility? Anyway, cycles are for the road and anyone not confident to be on the road should not be on a bike. My other complaint is concerning the weeds growing near the kerbs
along West Street and adjoining roads which is a disgrace. I am sure the council is welcoming the hot weather as now the weeds will probably die in the heat. Brian Brown, Seaward Court, Bognor Regis Dear Editor, I must bring your attention to this photo I took on Saturday - the hottest day of the year. In the month when Arun District Council's new administration is due to scrap the Pavilion Park plans, I cannot believe that these 'much loved' gardens must be saved. If the population of Bognor Regis were so infatuated with the Sunken Garden, then on the hottest day of the year, where was everyone? No-one having a picnic or playing in the children's park? I believe it to be an absolute falsehood that these gardens are treasured by residents. I spoke to a grandmother recently who said 'THere's no way I'd take my grandchildren there'. I think this says
FREEZE YOUR FAT AWAY!
A new answer to the problem of stubborn body fat which diet and exercise can’t shift has come across the Atlantic in the form of cryolipolysis. Now available in the UK, this method of body sculpting is a non-invasive means of removing fat in certain areas by freezing it so that it disappears naturally through excretion, allowing contours to be reshaped once fat has been removed.
Fat cells are more easily damaged by cooling than skin cells and cryolipolysis was developed to apply low temperatures to tissue via thermal conduction.

The techniques have been much researched in the USA and declared safe. They have been cleared by the Federal Drugs Agency (FDA) for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental area, thigh, abdomen and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks, and upper arm. While the process is not fully understood, it appears that fatty tissue cooled below body temperature, but above freezing, undergoes localized cell death (“apoptosis”) followed by

it all. Whilst I was there on Saturday, a seemingly drunk female started shouting at me and my friends. I couldn't understand what she was saying, but on the ground by her feet was a carrier bag full of empty lager cans. So I knew what was going on. She was living up to the Sunken Garden's reputation.

a local inflammatory response that gradually, over the course of several months, results in a reduction of the fatty tissue layer. The procedure begins with a full assessment of the client’s wishes and what can be achieved through a course of treatment. At the first full session, cooling gel and pads are applied to the area, or areas, from where the fat can be removed and when the machine is switched on a specific temperature and length of time will be set - typically about 30-40 minutes for each area. Massage of the treated area helps to relieve any slight side effects such as local redness, bruising and numbness of the skin, all of which subside within a few days. For maximum results, only 2-3 treatments are required to achieve the best re-sculpting of body contours.

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK
Sunset July 5 - 11
WE are Animals, one of the film discoveries of the year, follows a young boy witnessing his family’s financial struggles while grappling with his sexuality. This outstanding coming-of-age drama is set in the 1990s in a shabby town in upstate New York, where three young brothers live with their Puerto Rican parents, the joys and fears of childhood wonderfully evoked. In the same vein, Last Summer charts four boys roaming free in a neglected rural paradise until a tragedy that sets them against the adult world which changes their lives forever. Having won an Oscar on debut with Son of Saul (2015), Hungarian director Laszlo Nemes returns with Sunset. Set in Budapest in 1913, Irisz Leiter returns to the city seeking work at the hat emporium that had belonged to her parents before they perished in a fire and discovers the existence of an older sibling whose criminal underworld existence places her in jeopardy. Senna and Amy director Asif Kapadia delves into the controversial life and career of Argentina’s soccer messiah in Diego Maradona. Hero, villain, liar, cheat, champion, scoundrel: this hugely entertaining reveal-all biography reveals Maradona to be all these things and more. Democracy comes back to Chile during the summer of 1990 in Too Late to Die Young. In an isolated community, Sofía (16), Lucas (16) and Clara (10), face their first loves and fears, while preparing for New Year's Eve. They may live far from the dangers of the city, but not from those of nature. Three films return this week: Yuli, the story of the Cuban dancer Carlos Acosta, whose childhood from dance refusenik to superstar is beautifully drawn; All Is True, the Kenneth Branagh-directed film on Shakespeare’s final days, the directoractor joined by Judi Dench as his wife, Anne,
who also takes on the role of Red Joan, the extraordinary true story of Joan Stanley, exposed as the KGB’s longestserving British spy. From New York’s the Met on July 7 comes Aida, Verdi’s drama set in Ancient Egypt, one of four Performance Met opera encores over the next few months including Gounod’s Romeo et Julette (July 28). Don’t miss either the towering director Phil Grabsky’s Rembrandt, hosted by the National Gallery and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, an event like no other. Out of the Shadows, a four-part course looking at the spy genre, continues with films from 2000 – to the present explored. July 5 at 6.30pm, £6.50.

THE Conjuring’s creepy doll returns for a terrifying third chapter. Written and directed by Gary Dauberman, who previously penned the screenplays for the Annabelle films, IT, and The Nun, Annabelle Comes Home is the third instalment of the hugely successful Annabelle films starring the infamous sinister doll from the Conjuring universe. Determined to keep Annabelle from wreaking more havoc, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren bring the possessed doll to the locked artefacts room in their home, placing her safely behind sacred glass and enlisting a priest's holy blessing. But an unholy night of horror awaits as Annabelle awakens the evil spirits in the room, who all set their sights on a new target - the Warren’s ten-year-old daughter, Judy, and her friends. Familiar frights and all new nightmares emerge as the demon possessing Annabelle seeks to claim another soul. The film stars McKenna Grace as Judy; Madison Iseman as her babysitter, Mary Ellen; and Katie Sarife as troubled friend Daniela; with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprising their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren.

painted in the open air surrounding his secluded Sussex home. Yet there is more to the artist than the post-war work for which he is best known. THis exhibition, the largest on Hitchens since 1989, considers the whole scope of the British painter’s career, which spanned six decades.

Submerge yourself in an emotional ride Theatre review By Kelly Wickham Deep Blue Sea Until July 27 Minerva Theatre, Oaklands Park, Chichester PO19 6AP 01243 781312 box.office@cft.org.uk www.cft.org.uk IF THERE was ever a play that found you on the edge of your seat, Deep Blue Sea is that play. THe raw emotion in the main character, Hester Collyer, played by Nancy Carroll, was felt through her incredible portrayal of a woman hopelessly in love and loved but perhaps not the way she wishes. THe play is set in 1951, in a shabby Ladbroke Grove flat where Hester’s neighbours find her unconscious; she has taken an overdose in front of the gas fire. THeir only option is to notify her husband, Sir William Collyer – a pillar of the establishment. But Hester left her husband the previous year to embark upon a passionate love affair with dashing ex-RAF pilot, Freddie Page. What has happened in her life to make her want to end it? And can she
bring herself to go on living? Director Paul Foster perfectly stages turmoil and post-war hardship. Likewise Gerald Kyd (Bill Collyer) and Hadley Fraser (Freddie Page) opposites in extremes from their costumes through to their charisma and the way in which they love Hester. Fraser shows a clever portrayal of a man suffering from his own insecurities and failures combining with a reliance on alcohol to drown them out while Kyd is a judge with a Rolls-Royce, successful career,
self confidence and dignity. THe supporting cast seemed to lack in as much credibility as the three main characters, aside from Denise Black, as Mrs Elton, who enjoys a good gossip but with her heart in the right place and Matthew Cottle as Mr Miller, the doctor who speaks frankly but sincerely to help Hester see sense. Deep Blue Sea is a thrilling performance combining heartache, passion, intimacy and frustration.

Nature inspires fine performances Music review by Alicia Denny Eight Seasons & A Blackbird Chichester Cathedral THursday, June 27 NATURE in all its infinite variety has been the source of inspiration for many composers over the centuries and one of the favourite concertos of all time is THe Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi. A vivacious and stirring yet melodious performance of this classic by the Celoniatus Ensemble, led by the hugely-talented Harriet Mackenzie, was the first of six events organised by Amici Concerts for the Festival of Chichester, at the Cathedral. THe appreciative audience thoroughly enjoyed the performance of the baroque 'Seasons', which is normally heard with a full orchestra behind the
soloist. It was refreshingly bright to have just ten musicians, and closer to the original sound. After the interval, the blackbird of the concert's title - Eight Seasons and a Blackbird - appeared in a light but interesting piece again evoking the natural world by Canadian composer Emily Doolittle, conjuring up a blackbird singing in the rain, interpreted through Harriet's skilful musicality. Contrasting but, at the same time, complementing the first two items, Astor Piazzolla's Four Seasons of Buenos Aires was a refreshing piece of modern music. It was complex, busy and fascinating, with shades of tango and jazz as well as a nod to Vivaldi, the ensemble brought passion to the piece as well as showing some unusual versatility with their instruments, such as the string bassist who created percussive effects.
If the other performances being mounted by Amici are anything like the standard of this opener, music lovers following festival events are in for a number of treats.

Inspiring museum celebrates the Royal Air Force Tangmere Aviation Museum Gamecock Terrace, Tangmere, Chichester PO20 2ES Tel: 01243 790090 Email: info@tangmere-museum.org.uk www.tangmere-museum.org.uk IF you and your family have been inspired by last month's commemorations of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, a visit to Tangmere Military Aviation Museum is sure to thrill. THe museum is on part of the site of a major base used by the Royal Air Force and its predecessor, the Royal Flying Corps, from 1918 until its final closure in 1970. It became famous during the Second World War when it was a centre for pilots fighting in the Battle of Britain. Many secret service agents were dropped into occupied France from aircraft flown from Tangmere and, after the war, several air speed records were set by pilots from the airfield. Displays relating to these historic achievements are among the many fascinating exhibits in the museum but visitors are also thrilled to see aircraft in the two hangars. Several are on loan from the Royal Air Force Museum, including the Hawker Hunter used by Neville Duke to break the airspeed record in 1953. Replicas of the famous fighter aircraft of the Second World War, the Supermarine
Ace 25
Tangmere Military Aviation Museum is located in a corner of the old Tangmere airfield, famed as an RAF fighter station from 1918 until Fighter Command left in 1958.

Spitfire and a Hawker Hurricane, help to recreate the atmosphere of the RAF station's most important period. THere are also many relevant artefacts linked to the pilots who fought so valiantly in their aircraft. A dozen jet aircraft spanning the decades after the war can be appreciated by visitors as well as several cockpits and engines so that the technical developments can be admired. A Westland helicopter and simulators for both adults and children to try are among the other attractions. Light refreshments are available in the wartime-style tea room at this volunteer-run museum, which is open daily from 10am to 5pm.
Museum was born when a group of like-minded enthusiasts met to discuss ways of keeping the memory of RAF Tangmere alive.

£4
THere’s a thrill a minute at West Sands fair and fun for all the family – still at the great value price of only £10 for up to five hours of enjoyment. Now bigger and better than ever, a new Waltzer has been added to the attractions alongside the Sizzler, dodgems, apple ride, snake slide, pedal boats, children’s rides and much more. Established more than 40 years ago, the fair has been a destination for both holidaymakers and families who travel regularly from Chichester and Bognor Regis, as well as Selsey itself, to enjoy the rides, which are good enough to rival many other bigger fairs along the South Coast. After a tornado destroyed much of the fair’s site in 1998, it was re-built to the latest standards with the addition of a purpose-built cafeteria so funseekers can stay at the seaside venue all afternoon. Takeaway drinks, snacks and ice creams will keep the family fuelled up as they make the most of sunny days in Selsey. THe fun fair off Mill Lane, near the
windmill and linked to the neighbouring holiday park, is open every day from noon to 5pm, until December. Although the weather can sometimes limit times, the gates at West Sands Fun Fair are open as often as possible and certainly throughout summer season weekends. What’s even better is that entry and car parking is free for all visitors.

Set up by Suzy Duxbury, an ATCL Trinity and LAMDA qualified teacher, Dramatis is on a mission to bring the benefits of drama to the West Sussex community. Whilst some drama schools are known for cultivating a competitive environment and pushing people to their limits to get the best out of them, Dramatis focuses on nurturing individual personalities and skills. Viewing each student as part of an extended family, Dramatis believes that building people up, not breaking them down, is the key to success (both on and off the stage). Dramatis offers a range of classes, courses, workshops and sociable activities to benefit local residents of all ages. For younger members of the community who are growing up in a tech dominated world, drama encourages creativity and self-expression whilst nourishing their imagination. It teaches children to think on their feet and can help them to both stand out from the crowd and to work within a group. One of the most important skills it brings is an increased level of self-confidence, plus the opportunity to make friends outside their usual circuit. Dramatis Youth Drama activities include Drama Classes, School Workshops, Holiday Workshops, Private Tuition and Children’s Parties. For the adults, drama can help develop a number of skills to help in day to day life. These may include improved communication skills in relationships and at work, increased self-confidence, stress relief, meeting new people, improved empathy skills and increased assertiveness. Dramatis Adult Drama activities include Act Your Age (a sociable drama group), Adult Courses, Corporate Training and Public Speaking. The Dramatis Outreach programme, provides free classes and workshops to more vulnerable members of the community. Funded by charity donations and council grants, Dramatis Outreach is designed to improve life for West Sussex residents by reducing social isolation and developing interpersonal skills. Design and delivery of the programme is overseen by a Board of five local community members whose collective experience and skills ensure impactful results.

Tasty trend for gastropubs
started in 1990s The word (or words) gastropub - a combination of gastronomy and public house - entered everyday English in the 1990s and was defined as a pub serving good quality food, wine and beer. FOR centuries, inns and pubs had served food but often the menu was limited and either cold, such as sandwiches, pasties and ploughman's lunch, or 'pub grub', a label including everything with chips - ham and egg, pies, sausages or other simple dishes. In 1984, Spinnakers Brew Pub opened in Victoria, British Columbia, the first custom-built brewpub in Canada. It heralded a new wave of brewpubs and craft breweries in British Columbia which followed a major deregulation of the brewing industry in that province. Spinnakers served inventive cuisine and has claims to be the world's oldest gastropub. Bars in the United States soon followed suit, then Britain with THe Eagle in London's Farringdon Road, Clerkenwell, being the first in this country to use the label in 1991. As with those who have followed in its wake, THe Eagle serves food of a limited menu of restaurant-quality with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients with regularly-changing specials. THere are seats and tables throughout the pub, creating a relaxed environment for both eating and drinking. In the 20 years since this innovation landed on our shores, gastropubs have sprung up everywhere and in West
Sussex we're fortunate to have many delicious dining and drinking choices within easy reach. A number are housed in traditional inns, deep in the countryside, offering rural views, quiet gardens and old world ambience but with the sophistication of a menu worthy of a chic city restaurant and a complementary wine list to suit all tastes. Our county has a wealth of local produce which can be incorporated into seasonal recipes, ranging from South Downs lamb and wild venison to strawberries, tomatoes and other vegetables grown on the fertile coastal plain. Our coun THen, there's fish and seafood. tr Gastropubs along the extensive has a w e a y lt h of coastline of Sussex and Hampshire local pro often pride themselves on offering a d uce catch of the day, brought fresh from the boats at Selsey, such as its famous crab, or taking deliveries from the busy markets at Portsmouth and Brighton. With this weekend's Festival of Speed and other fantastic summer events in prospect, if you fancy a gastropub meal you'd better make a booking as all the popular destinations are likely to have full tables with visitors and residents making the most of this tasty trend.

Woodies Brasserie & Bar 'Steak out' the finest meat in the city and enjoy with a tantalising Spanish wine By Kelly Wickham Woodies Brasserie & Bar 13 St Pancras, Chichester PO19 7SJ Tel: 01243 956155 www.woodieschichester.co.uk IT'S EASY to forget where you are when you walk through the door at Woodies. From the hustle and bustle of the outside road, the minute the door closes behind you, it's a completely different world. My friend Nicola and I visited on a Saturday evening, where the temperatures had rocketed well above average, but luckily the staff had turned on the air conditioning which provided an instantly cooling relief from the sticky humidity outside. Nicola and I chose a table between the conservatory area and the main bar to try the special steak menu. THe wooden criss-cross of beams are delicately decorated with fairy lights twinkling in the dusk. THe 'Woodies Steak Out’ goes live on THursday, July 11, and every THursday thereafter. THis offer is available from 12pm to 3pm and 5pm until 9.30pm, both lunch and dinner services. Steaks to choose from include 8oz ribeye, 8oz sirloin, T-Bone, fillet and vegan. Diners can order two steaks (ribeye or sirloin) and receive a bottle of house red or white wine, all for just £29.95. THe wine is a Spanish red, Ayrum Tempranillo Ganache or a Spanish white, Ayrum Verdejo. We both decided to skip the starters, despite the temptation of homemade sweet potato and carrot soup, mackerel

sauce, which I poured over my steak and the cheese sauce, which I delightfully dunked my triple cooked chips, seasoned with rosemary and sea salt, in, although Nicola opted for her steak just as it was and commented on the tasty chargrill flavour. THe flat mushrooms, watercress and vine tomatoes were an additional bonus, all cooked well too and the fine beans and salad with balsamic were great side dishes. Despite the generous portion sizes, we were both tempted by the desserts and chose the warm double chocolate nut brownie, served with a caramelised banana and Caramac ice cream. I think this was possibly the best dessert I have had in a long time. THe banana was still firm but the caramelised

fillet and chicken liver pate, and went straight for the main meals. After a lot of discussion with helpful staff about how they aim to source as many ingredients locally as possible, I chose an 8oz sirloin steak and my friend opted for the 8oz ribeye steak. THe steaks were both cooked to perfection, exactly what we had asked for. We had decided to try the peppercorn
flavour with the ice cream and chocolate brownie was the best combination of flavours. THe brownie was perfectly gooey and melted in the mouth without being too sickly or sticky. THe trendy bar with extensive cocktails, wines and other alcoholic treats is the perfect setting for any occasion and the food is even better!

DENISE KELLY
BASIL'S powerful oil can help to cleanse the skin from within
A passionate and motivated 'health expert/nutritionist.
The benefits of the mighty basil herb www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@ thewellbeingcompanyltd.com I LOVE the smell of basil as it’s so fresh and to me, just smells of summer! One of my favourite all-time dishes is tomato, basil and mozzarella, drizzled in olive oil. It’s so Mediterranean and gorgeous! Basil is one of the oldest herbs known to mankind, with healing and healthy properties the most widely known and loved across the world for centuries! So, what can this delicious green leafy plant do for us? Basil is good on so many levels, but one of its well-known attributes is that it facilitates and helps to create a healthy digestive system, which of course allows the rest of the body to function optimally. (Digestion is the seat of good health according to Chinese philosophies) Basil fortifies the digestive and nervous system and can be a good remedy for headaches and insomnia, because the eugenol present in the leaves ensures anti-inflammatory action in the digestive tract. Basil helps balance acid within the body and restores the body's proper pH level, which is extremely helpful for good health. As mentioned, basil and its strong anti-inflammatory properties can prove to be extremely helpful to a variety of diseases and disorders. THe powerful essential oils, including eugenol, citronellol and linalool, help lower inflammation through their enzyme inhibiting properties. THe anti-inflammatory properties of basil may help lower risk of such diseases as heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and
ION
inflammatory bowel conditions. Consumption of basil could also soothe fever, headache, sore throat, cold, cough and flu. Yes, summer flu is rife right now, so munching your way through a few of these leaves every day could just be the help that you need to protect yourself. It’s well worth including this immune boosting herb in your everyday eating. But there is still much more to this herb than you may realise. Basil's essential oil may help manage depression and anxiety, too. THis herb is believed to stimulate neurotransmitters that regulate the hormones responsible for inducing happiness and energy. Basil is considered as a powerful adaptogen or an anti-stress agent and its antiinflammatory and immune-boosting properties help manage stress as well. Basil's powerful oil also help to cleanse the skin from within. THis excellent skin cleanser is perfect for those with oily skin, and it can also help remove dirt and impurities that clog pores externally too. Make a paste of basil leaves, sandalwood oil and rose water. THen apply the paste on your face and let it sit for 20 minutes, washing it off with cold water. THe strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of basil would also help prevent formation of acne. THe regular consumption of basil could also result in slow release of sugar in the blood, which is very essential for diabetics. THis herb has low glycaemic load and the essential oil present in basil helps cut down triglyceride and cholesterol levels, which is a persistent risk factor among diabetics. Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that can make all the difference! Basil is easy to grow yourself and simple to include in your daily eating habits!

FORMER Bognor Boys Club members have been invited to their latest reunion. THe get-together will be held from 7pm on July 19 at Bognor Regis Town FC in Nyewood Lane. It will mark the 80th anniversary of the year the boys club opened its doors in Westloats Lane. Frank Enticknapp, one of the organisers of the reunion, said: "Some 54 Old Boys are expected to attend. Anyone whose circumstances have changed and who now finds themselves unable to attend, please let Rob Willard know as we are required to advise catering numbers. He is on 01243 827588. "Again, for the same reason, if there are others who will now be attending, let Rob know." THe foundation stone of the boys club was laid at 6.40pm on July 19, 1938, but Frank said it was still unclear when the club greeted its first members. "Whilst every endeavour has been made to establish the actual date of the club opening night, we have not had any luck so far. "If any reader has any information, please let us know on the above number," he said. Barnham resident Frank said it was appropriate the reunion was being held at THe Rocks' given the recent news the football club was welcoming back its youth side to the ground. Many of the boys club members, pictured above in one of their teams, went on to play for Bognor in its county league days. He said this extract from the football club's 1951/52 handbook showed the strong ties between the two clubs: 'To many, the expression of Boys Clubs means next to nothing, to others, thankfully in the minority, it immediately conjures in their imagination hordes of unruly ill-mannered scruffy individuals sadly lacking in respect for man or beast. "Such is not the case in Bognor Regis; mention the name Bognor Regis Boys Club to all and sundry and the conversation at once becomes interesting and instructive. 'THe Bognor Football Club is proud to give this space in this, its first official publication, to the male youths of THe Royal Town. 'THis was the season that the first eleven had a 100 per cent record and were named the "Undefeated". THe other notable achievement that year was their third consecutive appearance in the final of the Sussex Minor Cup.' Two of the players who went from the boys club to the football club played for England youth sides. A few of those who achieved success were George Logan, Ernie Randall and Derek Holden.

TEACHERS from Asia are experiencing daily life in classrooms in the Bognor Regis area. THe 21 South Korean teachers are the latest to take part in an in-service teacher development programme at the University of Chichester's campus in the town. THe training enables them to develop their professional knowledge and practical skills in teaching English as well as giving them the skills to pass on their knowledge to their colleagues in Seoul after they have returned. A spokesman for the university's international short programme unit said: "In addition to spending time training at the university, the teachers will each spend two weeks in local schools learning more about the English education system and developing their teaching skills.

Schools supporting the programme are: Ormiston Six Villages Academy, St Philip Howard Catholic Primary School in Barnham, Bishop Tufnell C of E Junior School in Felpham, Aldingbourne Primary School, Downview Primary School in Felpham and Chichester's Bishop Luffa School.

SCAM targets are potentially being saved from being conned by supermarkets in Bognor Regis and Chichester. Tesco does not sell multiple vouchers, such as Amazon and iTunes, at its Bognor Regis store and only at its customer service desk in Chichester. THe policy was revealed to Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice awareness and campaigns manager, Ken Porter, as the service staged advice days at the stores. "THis is good news," he said. "One lady was saved £1,000 by this. THis will help our community avoid this heinous crime of giving money or vouchers to receive a prize or rebate. "People are being contacted and told they owe money to someone like the taxman which has to be paid in vouchers." THe first of the advice events was held at the Chichester store and saw the Citizens Advice team and members of West Sussex trading standards talk to more than 160 people. But it was too late for one woman. She had been tricked out of £30,000 by a rogue trader who knocked her at her front door and convinced her to hand over the money for a non-existent service. At Bognor Regis, some 130 people were advised how to stay one step ahead of the scammers. Romance scams are another trick. "Sussex has the highest proportion in the country of people suffering from romance scams. I think that's because there are lots of older, vulnerable people who are struggling with being bereaved," said Mr Porter. Police community support officers Julie Jones and Jess Chambers were also present. PCSO Chambers said: "We normally get one call a day about a person being scammed. THere will be a job for some sort of scam." Pictured below are PCSO Julie Jones, Ken Porter and PCSO Jess Chambers.
YOUNG children at a North Bersted preschool and their staff are really excited about the Beat the Street project. Box number one in the initiative is sited outside their premises of Dizzy Ducklings at Bersted Park Community Centre and are determined to boost their team points as a result. Preschool manager Claire Tarrant noticed the box fastened to a lamp post next to the playground and quickly set up Team Dizzy Ducklings. THey began in 80th place out of 92 but an 11-mile bike ride by the staff boosted their points as they found 18 of the boxes on their route to soar up the scoreboard to 62nd place out of 97. Mrs Tarrant said: "We followed this when the Dizzy Ducklings staff and children went for a Beat the Street walk, pictured below. "We started at box number one outside the community centre and headed out to box number two outside Barton's Primary School. It was lovely to be walking across to the school where lots of the children will be transitioning to in September and for years to come. What a great opportunity to do something that is promoting a healthy lifestyle, getting outside to exercise and have fun at the same time."

Mills provided plenty of flour power for town The landmark buildings were a familiar sight along the coastline in Victorian times THIS week we are going to look more at bygone history. Windmills were introduced into England in the 1150s and the earliest mention in Sussex is in 1155. At one time within the county, there were approximately 200 windmills but this number had dwindled by the 1980s to less than 30 remaining and mostly in ruins. THe golden age of windmills was definitely in the 18th and early 19th centuries, when bread formed part of most people’s diet. However, with the arrival of steam in the mid1800s their demise began. Moving first to Felpham, where it meets the sea at what is Admiralty Gardens today. Here was the White Mill. THis was a seven-storey white stone smock mill, where the sweeps (sails) could make the 27hp which was needed to drive the four pairs of stones. THis mill stood for about 80 years until the 1880s. THe first miller was Mr Haynes. THe last was Henry Hobbs, who occupied the position for some 30 years. A sketch of 1879 shows the White Mill with the Coastguard’s flagstaff in the background. It shows the mill as derelict and it was eventually claimed by the sea and its ruins demolished in 1879. THe brick and stone from the base of the White Mill was re-used in the building of the stables and garden walls of Turret House.
Another in Felpham was the Black Mill. One of the earliest records is of William Cosens in 1801 purchasing an area named Mill Field for the sum of £555. By 1806 William had built a wooden post mill, which stood on a brick base and could be rotated, so that the complete construction revolved and the sails faced any available wind. THis mill remained in the Cosens family as it was passed from William to his wife Elizabeth and then on to their niece, Louisa Gray, in 1856. However, Louisa sold the mill in 1862 to Edward Stubbington, whose address was 7 Spencer Terrace, Bognor, for the sum of £1,050. In fact, Edward had been leasing and running the mill since 1856 as a tenant, repaying the loan in instalments. When Louisa died in 1863, her executors continued the arrangements with Edward, although he now became the owner of the mill. By 1866, Edward had become a developer, selling plots of Mill Field. THe first five houses were built facing Felpham Road and he made a right of way to the rear of the houses, which today is Havelock Road. Records show that the new owner of the mill in the 1870s was Charles Digwell and the last known owner in 1884 was Henry Reynolds, until it apparently failed around1887.
Bricks from the demolished Black Mill in Felpham were used for a new greengrocery store

By the 1890s it had lost its sails, but remained on the skyline until it was demolished in 1907. THe area in this vicinity, which ran down to the sea, had become known as the Felpham Mill Building Estate. Around 1884, Henry Reynolds was offering plots within the estate by auction and these were described as 'most of the plots have a depth of 85ft and offer the most charming sites for small villas which are now in great demand, those now in the course of completion being already let. Small houses at rentals varying from £15 to £20 per annum will readily sell for occupation'. Mill Field was subsequently marked out into five roads, namely, Havelock, Canning, Clyde, Outram and Sea View. One name that has become associated with this area is that of ‘Snook.’ Elizabeth Cosens, in 1830, made the mill over to a Matthew Snook as security for the sum of £500. However, by 1857 Matthew Snook needed the sum of £500 so sold the security. He is believed to have been a relative of Henry Snook who is best remembered with his greengrocery business. THe shop owner, Henry Reynolds, sold the property to Amey’s, the Petersfield Brewer. In 1907, Amey’s built a new general store and off licence, using the bricks from the demolished mill as the foundation stones. Henry Snook eventually took this over in 1916. As late as 1966, the buildings were still called THe Old Mill Off-licence and the advertising board outside showed a windmill. Today, of course, this corner of the village is referred to as Snooks Corner. THere were other mills in the locality, including one at the seaward end of Nyewood Lane on the shoreline between Park Road. THis can be seen on many early pictures of the area. THe tower mill had a revolving cap that
turned canvas-covered sails into the wind. It was built in the 1920s and was owned by Henry Martin. THe clay ironstone was called septaria, or kidney-rack, because it was veined with semitransparent calcite. THe poor of the parish and fishermen dug this raw material from beneath the sands. By the 1880s, the mill was taken over by THomas Norris and his son, and they converted it into a flour mill. THe mill was eventually closed at the end of that decade and had been demolished by the turn of the century. When the mill was pulled down, a curious metal sign in the shape of a fox was discovered. It was thought at the time it might have come from Bognor’s ancient smuggler tavern, THe Fox. Another mill was that of the Black Tower Mill in Nyetimber. It was built in the early 1840s, with one of the earliest millers being William Adams for several years. THere was a succession of millers, but with the advent of the First World War and damaged machinery, the life of the mill came to an end. THe base continued to be used as a carpenter’s shop, but the sweeps were damaged in 1927 when they were struck by lightning. THe mill remained neglected for many years and a fire nearly destroyed it on June 14, 1962. On the site of the Black Tower Mill in 1981, the Rev John Maynard dug the ‘first spit for the foundation’ of a newly created construction of retirement homes. An artist's impression and progress reports were being included in the local press the next year on a regular basis and 52 retirement flats now surround the four-storey mill tower the windmill is a Grade II-listed building.

test batsman showed his class in scoring a century. He ended with 114 from a total score of 213 all out, before he was the last man out, being stumped by Mahesh Rawat off the bowling of Craig Fowle (3-88). In reply, Middleton got off to a strong start as Heather (45) and Harry Hovey (47) scored 76 for the first wicket. Matthew Reynolds (13) continued to contribute and at 127-2, with Heather and Rawat at the crease, the home side looked all but home and dry. But a mini collapse followed as the skipper, the Indian batsman (19) and Patrick Colvin (5) falling to James Allen (5-81). THat left Middleton at 140-5, which quickly became 167-7 after Adam Rawstrone (12) and Chris Spedding(11) were dismissed. But Talman (32*) and Fowle (16*) put on an unbeaten 50 for the eighth wicket to guide them home.

Strad ready for three in a row STAR stayer Stradivarius is looking to become just the second triple winner of the Group One Qatar Goodwood Cup as his entry into Glorious has been confirmed. THe John Gosden horse won the 2017 and 2018 edition of the historic two -mile contest and is now looking to repeat the trick to match the great Double Trigger (1995, 1997, 1998). Stradivarius cemented his standing as Europe's top stayer with another thrilling display in the Group One Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, defeating main rival Dee Ex Bee (Mark Johnston) and Irish challenger Master Of Reality (Joseph O'Brien IRE) in commanding fashion. THat was five-year-old's second victory in the two-and-a-half-mile highlight, and his seventh win on the bounce. Dee Ex Bee, the 2018 Investec Derby runner-up, is one of 30 entries alongside Stradivarius for the feature race of the first day of Goodwood (July 30) and connections have not given up hope of him beating the star mount. Dee Ex Bee's trainer Mark Johnston has an excellent record in the Goodwood Cup, winning the race five times with Double

Three Bridges next for MCC MIDDLETON CC will be looking to keep up their strong start to the season when they welcome struggling THree Bridges to Sea Lane tomorrow (11.30am). Sean Heather's side are on a run of three games unbeaten after a three wicket win over bottom side Mayfield last weekend. THe 30 point haul on home turf kept Middleton in fourth spot in the Sussex Premier Division, in touching distance of the top three. Heather will want to see another all-round display from his side as they dominated Mayfield from the off. After losing the toss, Middleton soon restricted the visitors to 19-4 as the visitors could not cope with the pace of Russell Talman. THe opening bowler finished with figures of 6-53 from 13 overs as he took charge with the ball. Only Sri Lankan opener Kaushal Silva showed any resistance for the visitors as the

Kaia takes five as Bognor remain in promotion hunt BOGNOR Regis CC will be looking to keep up their promotion push as they head to red-hot Haywards Heath tomorrow (12.30pm). Ryan Maskell's side sit second in Sussex Division Two, looking to keep up their five-match unbeaten run. But they look set to be pushed all the way in Mid Sussex tomorrow as they face the league's other form side. It could have been oh so different for Bognor as they escaped with a battling draw against first-placed St James's Montefiore at Hawthorn Avenue last weekend. Zimbabwean spinner Roy Kaia was the star with the ball taking 5-57 as the home side restricted the visitors to 184 all out in 52 overs. In reply Bognor started strongly as Maskell (48) and Mikey Harris (57) put on 85 for the opening wicket. THen the floodgates opened as no other batter made double figures for the home side. Harris dug in, scoring a half century from 137 balls. A flurry of late wickets gave St James's a sniff of victory but Jim Fallick and Scott Bingham saw out the remaining overs to seal a share of the spoils for Bognor.
Fellow Division Two side Chichester Priory Park are at the other end of the table and in need of a win at Burgess Hill tomorrow (12.30pm). Chi produced one of their best batting performances of the season at Haywards Heath last time out. After winning the toss, Joe De La Fuente (81) and Abhi Raut (64) put on 196 for the third wicket as Priory reached 231-7 off 53 overs. But in reply their bowlers were unable to make inroads and the home side reached the score with nine balls to spare. De La Fuente was the pick of the Chi bowlers with figures of 3-35 off ten overs. In Division THree West fourth-place Pagham will be looking to bounce back at home to Littlehampton, Clapham & Patching tomorrow (12.30pm) after an agonising 11 run loss to leaders Worthing last time out. Chasing 213 to win after Justin Scott took 4-38, Stuart Hanks' side looked in control as 125-4 . But contributions from Nick Smith (43), Ryan Barratt (43) and number 11 Sean Rutter (27) were not enough to guide them home.
Sportinbrief î ? Rugby CHICHESTER RFC returned from their summer break last week as preparations for the new season gets underway at Oaklands Park. THe Blues had an inconsistent season last year, recovering from a poor start to eventually register a midtable finish in the London One South division. Paul Colley, the club's director of rugby, will be keen to see Blues push on and secure a top half finish in 2019/20 - but they will face a tough start to the season. THe new campaign will see Chi start with a Sussex derby as league newboys Horsham make the short trip to Oaklands Park on September 7.
THen, a week later, Blues will have another derby, this time against local rivals Havant. THe return fixture against their Hampshire neighbours comes on December 21, just before the festive break. THe other league newcomers are all London-based sides, with KCS Old Boys, HAC Rugby and Belsize Park joining the competitive division.

Sportinbrief î ? Trampolining DRAGONFLYERS' Daniel Boon became the latest member of the Bognor-based club to wear the regional kit when he represented the Southern region for the first time at regional team finals in Birmingham last month. THe Barclaycard Arena hosted qualifying representatives from 12 regions throughout the UK in the sport of trampoline, tumbling and DMT. Boon jumped exceptionally over both routines in the men's NDP 2 age 13 plus men trampoline event. Not only did he gain crucial points for the South with his seventh place in what was a painfully close competition, he also gained qualification into NDP individual national finals to be held in Coventry later this month. Coach Linda O'Leary said: "Dragonflyers are very proud of the progress Daniel has made and aim to prepare him for national league next year." Dragonflyers are based at the Regis School in Bognor with training sessions for all abilities held throughout the week. Anyone interested visit: www. dragonflyers-club.co.uk.

Sids search for a new boss begins SIDLESHAM FC are on the hunt for a new manager - despite the start of the season being less than a month away. THe SCFL Division One side made a successful return to senior football last term, sealing a mid-table finish as Steve Bailey put together a talented team of young players. But, the off-season has seen a number of changes at the Memorial Ground with Bailey now stepping up to take over the reins as chairman. THat has left a hole in the dugout - a gap that Sids are looking to fill as they look to continue to progress on the pitch. THe new manager will not have long to put their stamp on the new side - as pre-season fixtures get underway tomorrow with a home match against local rivals and SCFL Division Two side Bosham (3pm). THat is followed by a visits from East Preston (July 9), Epsom & Ewell (July 13), Fareham Town (July 16), Nyetimber Pirates (July 20) and Littlehampton Town (July 27). With Bailey still involved, a number of last season's squad are expected to stay involved with the Sids. Simon Whall, who joined the club last
summer, has been confirmed as first team head coach for up coming season. Simon has a wealth of playing experience at Wembley, Hayes and Chertsey. Down the road at Selsey, former Sids boss Daren Pearce is making quiet preparations for the year ahead. THe focus for the Blues is very much on youth with Pearce tasked with bringing on a number of younger players through the ranks at the Bunn Leisure Community Stadium. Pearce has already signalled that a number of the successful under 18s side, who won the champion of champions trophy across Sussex last season, will be involved with the first team squad when it gets underway. SCFL Division Two side Bosham have also began their preparations for the new season with boss Tony Hancock overseeing training. THe Robins will be joined by 14 other sides in the league next season. Roffey - who finished third last season - have been promoted while Westfield have transferred. THey will be replaced by St Francis Rangers, who folded as a Division One side last season, and TD Shipley, who were runners-up in last season's West Sussex Premier Division.

'Paine is a pleasure to have at Pagham'
f Miles Rutherford with Daniel Potter and Dabba
Dabba returns - with Chi City DABBA will be back in the dugout next season - although it will be on the side of Chichester City rather than Bognor Regis Town. Darn Killpartrick, the former Rocks coach, took 12 months away from the non-league game last year after more than a decade at Nyewood Lane. After a year spending his Saturdays recharging his batteries, the England Colleges coach has agreed to link up with Bostik South East newcomers Chi as they look to establish themselves as step four. He will link up with manager Miles Rutherford, assistant Graham Gee and coach Daniel Potter, who he works with closely at Chichester College. Dabba will not have long before he takes on his former club as the SCFL Premier champions meet Sussex Senior Cup winners Bognor in the Sussex Community Shield at Lancing's Culver Road on July 30. Chi's players returned to training last week and look to be in good shape as they head into uncharted territory.
THeir pre-season preparations start tomorrow when they head to play an Isle of Wight representative XI. Next weekend they head to Arundel before matches at Christchurch (July 16), Hamble (July 20) and AFC Portchester (July 23). Bostik Premier side Worthing visit Oaklands Park on July 27 before preparations are completed on August 3 at Rutherford's former side Moneyfields. As well as changes on the pitch, Chi have also worked hard to continue to build off the pitch too. Andy Bell has stepped up to be club chairman with Ashley Clack taking a step back to be vice chairman as the club look to continue to build the club at men's, women's and junior level. Meanwhile, the club will be starting to visit local businesses to talk commercial sponsorship in the coming days.

PAGHAM chairman Tony Shea believes he has the right man for the job as the club enters a season of rebuilding. THe Lions had a disappointing campaign last term, finishing in the bottom half of the SCFL Premier and losing joint manager Richie Hellen along the way. THings got worse at Nyetimber Lane when the other man in the dugout, Tom Simmons, departed for personal reasons one week before the start of pre-season. Shea responded quickly and, after receiving some high-quality applications, opted for former East Preston manager Bob Paine. Shea said: “We’re all really happy with the appointment. “Obviously it was a difficult time to find a new manager that late in as it means we are six weeks behind everyone else. “It’s fair to say the week before the start of pre-season is not ideal but I’m very happy it’s all sorted. “We had a good night interviewing and Bob and his team were clear cut appointments so I’m feeling pretty hunky dory about things.� Paine arrives at Nyetimber Lane after three seasons with EP.
During that time he steered them to promotion from SCFL Division One at the first time of asking before two mid-table finishes at step five. Now he joins a club which have in recent years been pushing for the top five and cup finals. Paine is joined at the club by Craig Stuart and Tom Henton, both of whom were part of his coaching staff at Lashmar. THe trio have already got straight on to business, overseeing a number of pre-season training sessions with their new squad. Shea expects his new manager, who also was a successful coach with Worthing’s youth set up, to spend time rebuilding the core of the squad. He said: “We are in transition stage, there’s no denying that. “Bob’s first priority is to bring some stability back to the club. THere will be a lot of change player-wise so stability is a good word. “He had already made it clear that youngsters will be key to that. He will be running the under 23s from the 18s and is quite adamant that turning to youth will be our approach moving forward."

Rocks ready for pre-season visit by Havant
re m' f Brad Lethbridge could return to the Rocks
BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce said he's looking forward to seeing his new-look squad get their first taste of action after the summer break. THe Rocks squad returned to pre-season last week with the players being put through their paces by coach Robbie Blake and fitness coach Neil Cockcroft. THe players will not have long to turn their sprints on the South Downs into match action with National South side Havant & Waterlooville coming to Nyewood Lane on Tuesday (7.45pm). For Pearce it is a chance to pitch his new squad into action against strong opponents who are looking to return to National League level after relegation last term. It kick starts a busy pre-season which also includes a visit from League One Portsmouth (July 16, 7.45pm) before trips to Horndean (July 24, 7.45pm) and Gosport Borough (August 2, 7.45pm). Pearce said: "Havant is the first one we have and for both clubs it will be about seeing where we are with players. "Obviously they are one step above us and, despite both being promoted into the National South at the same time, we both went in opposite directions. "THey have had a lot of change
round the club with a new manager and investment across the board. So, the match will give us a chance to see where we are and what more we can do. "THe result does not matter but it is important for us to see how people manage in various phases of the game and will give us an idea what more we need to do to get ready for the first competitive match in a months time." Unlike in previous years when the Rocks have not finalised a playing squad of 15 until days before the start of the campaign, there's a healthy number of players signed on ahead of a busy Bostik Premier season. Former Rock James Crane was the first to sign, returning from Worthing, while ex-Pompey duo Dan Smith and Freddie Read have joined on permanent deals after a successful loan spells last season. Among those to recommit are last term's top scorer Jimmy Muitt, skipper Harvey Whyte, Doug Tuck Keaton Wood and Chad Field. THe addition of playmaker Stuart Green from AFC Totton also gives creativity in the heart of the park. Pearce is also confident of bringing in some youngsters from Pompey, with Brad Lethbridge a possible returnee.
Rocks new sponsor just can't wait for new season to start NEXT season their company will be a constant presence everywhere the Rocks go. And new club sponsor Dominic Reynolds said he cannot wait to see the side that manager Jack Pearce is building at Nyewood Lane take to the pitch next month. Reynolds, who is the managing director of Reynolds Furniture, has been chairman of the club for the past 12 years. And, after his businesses name won the auction to be the Rocks main sponsor for the upcoming Bostik Premier season, he said there was every reason to be brimming with confidence going in to the new campaign. Reynolds' confidence comes as Pearce made a number of important signings so far over the summer including recruiting striker Dan Smith and midfielder Freddie Read from Pompey while fans' favourite Stu Green is returning to Nyewood Lane from AFC Totton. He said: "It was great to see the Rocks win the Sussex Senior Cup last season and we hope to build on that success. "Jack and Robbie seem to have done a lot of early business in terms of bringing players to the club as well as keeping key players, the likes of Jimmy Muitt, Doug Tuck and Harvey Whyte, so there are lots of reasons to go into the campaign with a degree of optimism, perhaps - dare I say it - even confidence." THe chance for Reynolds Furniture to bid for the sponsorship arose when businessmen Victor Coutin, the MD at GardX, donated the prize back to the Nye Camp outfit after he won it in the sponsors' draw. Reynolds said: "As a company we are
absolutely delighted to be the main sponsors for the forthcoming season. "We very much look forward to a successful relationship both on and off the pitch. On a personal level, and as a long-standing fan, I am really excited by the prospect of the new season with our new signings." Reynolds Furniture and the Nyewood Lane outfit are no strangers with the 152-year-old business a long-time backer of the club.
THe firm first had their names emblazoned on the team's shirts a quarter of a century ago - something that Reynolds remembers fondly. He said: "We have a photo of me, my dad and my brothers with the team when we were shirt sponsors for the first time 25 years ago. Now we can look forward to a new team picture with our branding on the shirts and we're really chuffed.�

Q&A with Rocks manager Jack Pearce By Tim Ridgway
NEXT week the Rocks will return to action. No one is more excited than Jack Pearce, who is about to start his 50th season involved with the club. Ahead of pre-season fixtures getting underway next week, Jack sat down with the Post for an extended Q&A ahead of the new season. Here's part one. Jack, how's the summer been for you? Well as you can imagine there's lots going on always. I said at the start of summer that building the squad was the most important task. So far, everything has been going quite well as we have made some good signings. We also have quite a number of very interesting younger players who are coming through and doing quite well in training THere are between half a dozen to ten players who will not be known to many who have really come along which is extremely encouraging for the club. How we get them involved is something we will need to think about. But you cannot do everything with young unproven players and we still need to improve in certain areas. It's like putting a jigsaw together and, as anyone who has done one recently knows, trying to find the last few pieces is the most difficult part of completing the puzzle. Does that mean your emphasis will be on younger players this season? I've never been big on age; the priority is trying to find good players that want to play for you and we have managed to do that so far. If you look at the Sussex Senior Cup then Emmett [Dunn] and Macca [Josh McCormick] did ever so well

and neither had played a full game for us before then. You do have to have some experience with them. But if you can find a good player with experience then that is someone worth holding on to. How is pre-season training shaping up so far? We have had two sessions and both have gone well. THey've been well attended and Robbie and Neil have been pushing them on the fitness. It's no matter how good you are, if you are not getting to the ball first then football is a difficult game. You either need to be physically quicker or sharper and that’s where training comes in. THere's nothing worse than being in a match and hoping an opponent does not run you again. But then there is no better feeling than with ten minutes to play you are still fresh and able to do what you need to do for the team. You've recently held trials to try and uncover some new players - how did that go? THe lads did ever so well in extremely hot conditions and we sincerely thank each and every one of them for attending and giving their all. A trials match is never ideal to demonstrate a player's capabilities because of a number of factors, including having to adapt to positions for the purposes of balance, perhaps a certain lack of cohesion from not knowing your team-mates and maybe even some nerves creeping in. But overall there was lots to like and we saw a few players who we will speak to about taking things forward and take it from there. Overall, it has proved to be a productive exercise and one which we would look at repeating next summer.
