RIVAL retailers have clashed about a proposed new store in Bognor Regis. Lidl has protested about the proposed presence of rival discount retailer, Aldi, directly opposite its planned new outlook. THe Salt Box development in Shripney Road, of which the 1,785sq m Aldi will form the principal tenant, has again been deferred by Arun District Council. Councillors were due to have

debated granting planning permission at Wednesday’s meeting of the development control committee. But they were told it was withdrawn from the committee agenda. THeir debate is now likely to take place at the committee’s August 7 meeting. THe Environment Agency has since added its concerns about the site’s drainage. Meanwhile, Lidl has told the council of its unhappiness with the Salt Box

proposals. Comments on its behalf by town planner Jason Lowes state: “THe proposed Aldi store potentially threatens the provision of the committed Lidl store on Oldlands Farm investment by introducing an entirely new convenience discount retailer in close proximity to the proposed Lidl store at Oldlands Farm. “Our assessment is that a trade diversion of £5.54m, or 41 per cent, from

Lidl at Oldlands Farm to the proposed Aldi foodstore at Salt Box is more likely.” THis was greater than the 24 per cent, or £3.27m of the Lidl’s forecast turnover in 2022, set out in the planning application for Salt Box. “We consider that this figure underrepresents the actual level of trade diversion from Lidl, which is likely to be materially greater.

Council gets rid of regeneration scheme for town

f Grace Parsons

Amazing Grace stays active for her 100th KEEN Bognor Regis artist Grace Parsons still reaches for her paintbrushes at the age of 100. Grace enjoys mixing her oils and creating a variety of works to make the town's oldest known artist. She said: "Sometimes I use my imagination for paintings and others I use real life. "I can take a flower from here, a flower from there and that makes it a bunch to paint. Sometimes I can get annoyed, though, when things go wrong." She has many examples of her handiwork on the walls of her flat at Dove Court in Sherwood Road. Grace is also a keen needleworker and also cooks all her own meals.

She intend to continue with her routine even after she celebrated her 100th birthday last Saturday. She was joined by her friends and neighbours, and her two nieces from Surrey, for an afternoon tea party. Some 40 people joined in the fun. "I speak to people just the same now I'm 100," she said. "I don't feel any different. "People ask me how I keep looking so young and I tell everybody to keep busy, though I would like a new pair of legs. "When you retire, you don't get time to do everything." Grace was born in Tottenham, north London, and had a sister. Her father was an engineer.

She went to school there and briefly worked in the Land Army in the Second World War before she had to leave to look after her mother. She worked as a shop manager afterwards and moved around a variety of places, such as Brighton and Worthing. She moved to Sunningdale Gardens, in North Bersted, where one of her neighbours, Judy Knight, has become her carer, before she moved to her current flat about 25 years ago. THey go shopping in Sainsbury's every Tuesday and enjoy a coffee there before they browse the aisles. Grace was married to her late husband, Steve, for some 60 years until he died around 11 years ago.

AN UNPOPULAR £4m regeneration scheme for Bognor Regis has been scrapped. THe Pavilion Park proposals were dumped by Arun District Council’s Liberal Democrat senior members in a U-turn on the policy of the previous Conservative administration. In what one councillor described as a turning point in the town’s history, the council’s cabinet decided to concentrate on improving only part of the Hothamton site in Queensway. THe previous idea of the car park, Sunken Garden and Hothamton play area being replaced by a linear park has gone. THe new focus after Monday's meeting will be on just the Sunken Garden and play area. Cllr Francis Oppler (LD, Orchard) said the change in direction was an historic moment in the town's history. “I am pleased to say that this administration is keeping another election promise that the Sunken Garden is kept for future generations and that, today, we are going to put a stop to the last 45 years of this council ripping up Bognor Regis’ heritage. I am very excited this is the dawn of a new era," he said. “Let me be very clear. I have seen hundreds of replies to surveys we have carried out and I would say well in excess of 85 per cent have been for the Sunken Garden to be kept in some form. I think the report we have before us is very much the best of all worlds.” It would give residents the chance to have their say about three schemes for a specific section of the site before councillors decided on the option they wanted. “Since 2015/16, £659,000 has been spent on regeneration plans and all we have in return is a pile of paper. THis council, in the preceeding years, has spent millions on regeneration and we have not got a brick to show for it." Cllr Daniel Purchese (LD, Beach) said it was clear from the recent elections that Bognor Regis residents wanted the

Sunken Garden to stay. “I have heard people say they would like to see them improved but retained in some way. Working on the principle of three options to go to consultation is very much the way forward to get the public’s opinion. THis is a very positive step," he said. Cllr Matt Stanley (LD, Marine) said: “I think this is a hugely positive moment for this council.” THe elections last May gave electors two clear choices for the Sunken Gardens’ future – and they chose the version put forward by the Lib Dems. “We are here to serve our electorate and to serve the community, whatever councillors’ opinions might be. “THe community have made their decision – and what they want to see is an improved Sunken Garden and we have a duty to gather round and deliver that," he said. “I applaud the retention of the health centre in that area, which I know was a concern of the residents in my area.” Philippa Dart, Arun's director of services, gave the cabinet a report about the project since its start in July, 2015, and the contracts awarded with consultants. But the new Lib Dem administration wished to develop alternative proposals. "THese proposals will not include any residential development and the health centre will not be affected by any of the plans put forward. "In progressing with this proposal, the council will be ending the contract with the landscape consultant. THe Pavilion Park display boards will also be removed from the site," she said. A consultant will be hired to hold a workshop for councillors to suggest ideas for the new project. THose ideas will be considered by the cabinet before they go out for consultation. Mrs Dart said the new decision would maintain Arun's refusal as landowner to agree a deal to lease the land to the Sir Richard Hotham Project regeneration scheme.

Stepfather jailed for family fraud ` parkrun success RAIN failed to stop young people successfully staging a run in Bognor Regis, pictured above. THe town's Cubs, Beavers and Scouts again took over the weekly junior parkrun on Sunday. THe poor weather did not deter 91 runners from around Bognor Regis enjoying the free event. Daniel Hughes, one of the junior parkrun organisers, said: “THis is the second time this event has taken place and it is brilliant to see many new faces trying parkrun. “It was fortunate that the rain did not stop play, and the runners persisted through traditional British summer weather. “It taught our runners a valuable lesson in being prepared. THose with laminated barcodes survived the downpour far better.” Two of the group’s regular runners were awarded half and full marathon wristbands for their combined runs. THe voluntary team has seen so many runners complete the course that together they have clocked up more than 10,000 km. THe junior parkruns take place on Sundays at 8.55am at the Arena Sports Centre off Westloats Lane.

AN ALDWICK man has been jailed for defrauding his stepson out of an inheritance of £59,000 from his father. Iain Cochrane Shepherd, who was made an MBE in 2015 for his services to the marine industry and the economy of Chichester, was told by Judge William Ashworth he had shown a clear abuse of trust and the offence was 'calculated with an aspect of greed'. His stepson, Joshua, told the court in a victim impact statement he had been affected emotionally and financially by Shepherd's actions. Joshua, who is studying for a degree in paleontology, planned to use the money to pay off his student loan. He also expected to find it hard to find a job because he had ADHD. "Shepherd is fully aware of my disabilities and has no compassion for me or my mother who has fought for me all her life," he stated. "My deceased father thought Shepherd was a friend as they had both been naval officers. "He is a despicable human being, only interested in his standing in society." Shepherd was in Portsmouth Crown Court for sentencing on Tuesday, having pleaded guilty to fraud and twice failing to attend hearings. Judge Ashworth said that, despite being challenged, Shepherd, 65, of Aldwick Road, had prevaricated and repeatedly lied. Failing to attend earlier court hearings had caused substantial delay and the victim was particularly vulnerable. For the fraud, Shepherd was jailed for three years and six months with two further sentences of two months each,

concurrently, for failing to appear in court, making a total of three years and eight months, with up to half in custody. A compensation order of £19,497 would be made to the Official Receiver as this sum was available subsequent to the bankruptcy. THe court was told the fraud arose as a result of the death of Stephen Powell in January, 2004, when Joshua was eight. He died intestate but entrusted Shepherd to look after the boy's interests. THe £83,255 proceeds from the sale of the Powells' family home in December 2006 were paid into a bank account in Shepherd's name. A year later, Shepherd became Joshua's stepfather for whom he was a legal trustee. Just over £20,000 was withdrawn from the account to pay for outstanding debts from the estate, leaving £58,895. THe prosecution said Shepherd took money out of the account, which he controlled, mostly as cash withdrawals of £300 and £200 between December, 2006, and February, 2010. THere was £1.64 remaining. In addition, Shepherd was an undischarged bankrupt and was ineligible to become a trustee for Joshua, who lives in Chichesrer with his mother. Shepherd represented himself in court and said he apologised unreservedly to everyone affected and was deeply sorry. "I have been fairly dreadful and drinking too much for too many years," he said. He aimed to repay the money and intended to sell stock from his business. He believed his bankruptcy order from 1996 had expired after a year and had not received any communication about it until 2017.

f The car washers ready for action

Charity car wash helps remove people from lives of fuel poverty BUCKETS of soapy hot water left cars shining as fundraisers worked to help Bognor Regis residents keep warm. THe car washers from the town's Lions club and Co-operative Funeralcare branches combined to raise some £200. THe money will boost the Lions' Wencelas Appeal to assist those who face the stark choice between eating and heating this winter. Lions' president Richard Johns was one of those who helped to leave about 20 cars looking spick and span last Saturday at the Co-op's Rose Green premises. He said: "THe most vulnerable people are always on the worst value energy rates. THis worsens their situations. "We have helped people who have only been able to have the light on for an hour a day. Another was a single mother with a young son who had asthma because of the permanently damp conditions they were living in. "We sometimes only need to give people £50 to get them out of their situation. What we sometimes find is that they get into a small amount of debt. "THe high interest rates multiplies that

several times and then they can't escape from that." THe assistance is given through a range of trusted agencies who vet the applicants and dispense advice to stop their situation being repeated. "It's not just about giving out money. It's a case of helping people get on to a better life permanently," said Mr Johns. Lindsey Booker, a Co-op funeral coordinator, was also among the washers of cars like BMWs, Fords and Porsches. She said: "THis is good fun but it is rather hot. But we always enjoy being involved in the community. "As soon as Richard Johns told us about the Wencelas Appeal, we were keen to get involved. I've got a ten-year-old son and I can't imagine having to live in those circumstances." THe partnership had seen £1,800 given to the Lions last year, she said. It was hoped £2,000 would be donated in the current year. "I am sure we will joining with them for a third year. We believe it's a good partnership and I can't see any reason why it would not contnue," she added.

f Some of the audience at a 2016 Pagham housing protest meeting

Council to face five-figure sum after court case TENS of thousands of pounds of costs will be sought from Pagham Parish Council after its failed court bid to stop new housing. Arun District Council has confirmed it will be seeking the expenses it incurred in defending its outline planning permission for 400 homes south of Summer Lane. It is expected the total cost of the whole proceedings, which ended in a day-long hearing on June 25 in the High Court, will be about £50,000. "Arun District Council will now recover its costs associated with this action from Pagham Parish Council," said an Arun spokesman. "THe district council is naturally pleased that the judgement has upheld the decision that it made in November, 2018. "THe council had concerns about the grounds for the challenge that were brought and the judge has confirmed that the challenge was 'fundamentally misconceived' and comprised a 'nitpicking scrutiny' which was 'utterly deprecated'. "THe judge concluded there was no basis for challenging the planning officer's report and the decision of the council." Within her judgement, Mrs Justice Andrews commented that the report by Arun's planning officer to the councillors who approved the housing was sufficient. It provided 'a proper approach by law' and was fair and accurate. Pagham Parish Council's barriser, Ashley Bowes, had claimed Arun’s planning officer had misunderstood the heritage evidence submitted in support of the application and equated a ‘less than substantial’ harmful impact with a less than substantial objection, said Mrs Justice Andrews “Alternatively, if the planning officer had formed the view that there was no harm, and therefore the proposed development would preserve the setting of the church, he failed to explain to the committee that the applicant’s consultant on heritage matters took a different view and why he, the planning officer, did not accept that view.

“THe primary argument is based on a premise that is factually incorrect and, for reasons which will become apparent, I regard the alternative argument as misconceived," said Mrs Justice Andrews. THe day-long case in the High Court came down to one matter, Mrs Justice Andrews stated. “THe question for the court is whether the substance of the report has sufficiently drawn the committee’s attention to the proper approach required by the law and material considerations." Mr Bowes had claimed Arun’s planning officer had misunderstood the heritage evidence submitted in support of the application and equated a ‘less than substantial’ harmful impact with a less than substantial objection, said Mrs Justice Andrews “Alternatively, if the planning officer had formed the view that there was no harm, and therefore the proposed development would preserve the setting of the church, he failed to explain to the committee that the applicant’s consultant on heritage matters took a different view and why he, the planning officer, did not accept that view. “THe primary argument is based on a premise that is factually incorrect and, for reasons which will become apparent, I regard the alternative argument as misconceived.” THe day-long case in the High Court came down to one matter, Mrs Justice Andrews stated. “THe question for the court is whether the substance of the report has sufficiently drawn the committee’s attention to the proper approach required by the law and material considerations. “In this case, on a fair reading of the report, taken as a whole, that is precisely what the planning officer did," the judge said. THe only harm would be minimal impact on the angle of the longdistance view of the church tower from the north-east. THis was never going to be a serious obstacle, she added.

Noisy trains upset villagers SUFFERING Yapton residents say their lives are being ruined by tooting train drivers. Villagers who live in Maypole Lane complain the sound of the horns for 18 hours a day is extremely irritating. Chris Carter has lived for two years in Longacre Park, in Maypole Lane, just along the road from the foot level crossing which links it with Lake Lane. He said: “THis is a piercing sound. It sounds like the trains are outside my home. I can’t sleep with my bedroom window open. “It really does affect our quality of life. THere are times when I want to bang my head against the wall because of this. “Some drivers lean on their horns for two or three seconds.” Jim Payne, who lives next to the level crossing, said: “It’s a real pain knowing the horns will start at 6am and they will not finish until midnight. “THis is not a sound you can get used to. THe number of trains is not an issue. It’s the volume of them that is the issue.” Angela Bradbury, another static homeowner for 15 years, said: “THe horns are so loud and so long. My brother lives in the village and he can hear them. “I don’t bother to go to sleep any more until midnight. THe trains have always been fast along here. I don’t know why they have to whistle now.” THe situation has arisen after Network Rail finished safety works at the nearby North End Road level crossing. THis involved replacing the half barriers with full barriers to stop motorists dodging the warning lights when trains were approaching. THe work was completed last January. In the years immediately before the £4m scheme, the trains were slowed to

20mph for safety reasons. Since it finished, the speed restriction has been lifted to see them travel along that stretch of track at 60mph. Some 12 eastbound trains pass the crossing in weekday peak-times. Network Rail installed a whistle board on the westbound track between the two crossings to improve safety at the Maypole Lane site. But residents say one was never in place before the trains were slowed down. THe problem has seen them complain to Network Rail, the rail network owner, and train operator Southern Railway. Southern has asked its drivers to be

considerate when they use their trains’ horns. But Network Rail has yet to reply. Attempts to involve Arun District Council’s environmental health officers failed because rail matters are outside their powers. Mr Cook said: “THere does not seem to be any oversight at all on Network Rail. THey can do what they want and no-one can do anything about it.” He has called on them to cut back some shrubs to the east of the crossing to enable pedestrians to clearly see approaching trains to Barnham and end the need for horns to be sounded. A Network Rail spokesman said: "We

need to provide safety warnings to people who are on or near the tracks and they’re a vital safety feature. "THe whistle board at Yapton was reinstated when the line speed returned to 60mph following the upgrade to a full barrier crossing. "However, we understand concerns regarding sound levels and are currently monitoring the current footfall at Maypole Lane crossing to determine the future of the crossing. “Although we’re trying to reduce the number of whistle boards, we can’t remove them where they help to keep pedestrians safe."

f Residents at the Maypole Lane level crossing

Seafront sites backed THREE locations along Bognor Regis promenade have been approved for food and drink outlets. Seafront strollers will be able to enjoy sea views with their refreshments after Arun District Council gave itself planning permission for the new use. THe unanimous decision on Wednesday was made after one of the sites - at the promenade bullnose semi-circular area opposite the Regis Centre - was temporarily used by a pizza maker for part of last summer. Arun development control committee member Cllr John Charles (C, Barnham) said: "I am pleased to see this. I think it's a very useful thing. "If the people are as good as the ones there last year, I will be more than happy. "THey cleared up after themselves every single night, everything was moved away and it was a really good experience there." THe other two locations for which the change of use for temporary food and drink outlets and other seaside uses was granted are within the northwestern corner of the rectangular area to the east

of the pier and next to the Gloucester Road car park close to Butlin's. Dan Vick, a council planning officer, said the operating hours of the businesses which would be limited to 7.30am-11pm daily. "All structures would be portable, small scale and would be unlikely to attract a considerable amount of visitors over and above existing users," he told the committee. "THe uses postively influence the commercial and entertainment offer of the seafront and due to their temporary nature and character they would not adversely impact the amenities of the surrounding area and occupiers of nearby properties. "THey would not produce any unacceptable noise or light pollution." THe sites had also been chosen within accessible locations along the seafront. Cllr Martin Lury (LD, Bersted) said he was worried the Butlin's location was at a busy site. But Mr Vick said any outlet would replace two storage containers which were already there.

From page one “THis is because of two main factors: *THe ‘like trades with like’ principle – Aldi is the main discount retail convenience competitor to Lidl *THe close proximity of the proposed Aldi store to the Lidl, Oldlands Farm, committed scheme Mr Lowes said the impact of the Aldi on other retailers in Bognor Regis – like Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons – had also been understated by Aldi. THe prospect existed as well of Lidl’s existing store in the Peel Centre, Shripney Road, being occupied by another discount retailer to add further competition to the proposed Lidl, he said. Arun has also commissioned its retail assessment into the impact of the planned Aldi. Its consultants, GL Hearn, state the intended store would draw only a small amount of trade from the town centre. “Although a slightly higher level of additional trade may be drawn from Bognor Regis town centre than that identified by the applicant, and despite only having moderate health, the proposal would be unlikely to have (a) significant adverse impact on the overall vitality and viability of Bognor Regis town centre,” the company states. THe impact on other retailers was fairly assessed. Out of town stores like Lidl and Tesco would see most trade diverted to the new Aldi. But these were not protected under planning rules, it adds.

Town free car parking study FREE parking could be extended in Bognor Regis town centre. THe town’s popular two-hour stays might be available in more car parks. THe prospect of motorists being able to choose from more spaces to park without paying will be considered in a review of parking by Arun District Council. Joe Russell Wells, its group head of neighbourhood services, told councillors: “A review of parking charges across all Arun-owned car parks is proposed to take place during this year. “As part of the review, that (free parking) is what we will be looking at. In the past, there were recommendations to extend it as part of a parking review. “It needs to sit alongside regeneration work. THat’s part of the idea.” His comments at Arun’s environment and leisure working group followed calls by some of its members at last THursday’s meeting for work to be carried out to find out the benefits of the free parking. Cllr Tony Dixon (I, Aldwick E) said: “I feel free parking helps town centres compete with the free parking at out of town shops. Have we considered extending free parking in Bognor Regis? We have three car parks offering it. “Do we have any information as to whether they help to contribute towards town centre regeneration? Is that something we are able to analyse

because the free parking has to be funded at some point and having evidence about it is important.” Cllr Jim Brooks (I, Marine) said: “We need to see what improvements twohour free parking bring to the town and have a careful look about how we manage it.” Free parking was introduced into two car parks in Bognor Regis – Fiztleet multistorey above Morrisons (343 spaces) and Lyon Street (61 spaces) – seven years ago in a deal between the town’s traders and Arun. It has since been extended to the 201 spaces at Hothamton car park in Queensway. Drivers buy a £2 annual disc to be able to park for free and nearly 30,000 are expected to be sold this year. Arun’s remaining pay and display parking spaces across the district generated £1.67m in 2018/19. A further £71,400 was paid for seasonal permits. THis generated a surplus of £118,000 to be spent on various works. THese include a mix of new bollards/railings, barriers and signs in the next year at the Regis Centre, Gloucester Road, Lyon Street, and London Road car and lorry parks. Work is also planned at Shrubbs Field in Middleton and Felpham’s Links Avenue and Grassmere sites. *A separate study about improving Fitzleet multi-storey car park has started.

BIRDLIFE was the main worry when plans for a Lidsey solar farm went on show. THe display, hosted in Aldingbourne by developer Solafields, attracted interest from at least 10 residents. Many were worried about protecting the breeding lapwing living on the proposed site. Tim Edwards, who carries out wildlife studies in nearby fields, said: “THere are concerns over some of the species such as lapwing which are on the site. “THey need to be together so if something attempts to take their young or eggs, they go up en masse and clear it out of the area. “Studies show that, if their nest site is fragmented, they don’t breed as well." Lidsey Farm is the proposed site for the 10 megawatt farm, between the rail line and the A259 flyover. Solafields hopes to submit a planning application by autumn. Construction will take four to six months if the proposals are approved. Cllr Isobel THurston (G, Barnham) was

among those at the exhibition. She said: “As part of our commitment to tackling climate change in Arun, we broadly welcome any local initiative aimed at renewable energy production. My only concern is with the bird populations that may be disturbed and we await further ecological information.” Flooding was also an issue raised at the consultation by Colin and Helen Chewter. Mr Chewter said: “We flood regularly and we are concerned about the use of the flood plane to develop this site. Aldingbourne Rife is always going to flood. "THe volume of water going down that rife is going to increase dramatically, particularly when they develop the extra 4,500 houses that they plan in that area. “I’m not against the whole thing, it’s got to happen somewhere, it’s sustainable. But we want sufficient provisions to be made”. A director of Solafields, Mark Candlish, said: "We are close to the end of our studies and we will come forward with proposals in the next few months.”

It's full speed ahead as petrol heads see fastest hill climb speed smashed BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THREE glorious days of sunshine were followed by a wet day for the 26th annual Festival Of Speed at Goodwood. The prestigious event, which attracts people from across the world, was another show-stopper, with a theme of ‘Speed Kings, Motorsport Record Breakers’. With famous Formula One and Le Mans drivers including Australian Mark Webber, Brazilians Rubens Barrichello and Emerson Fittipaldi and Damon Hill, visitors were in for a treat, getting up close to all the action. This year, the festival celebrated 70 years of Aston Martin with the famous sculpture depicting a single car, DBR1, outside the Goodwood House. Each day, at 1pm, Aston Martins lined up outside and fireworks were set off to mark the celebrations. The all-electric Volkswagen ID. R set the fastest ever time up the Goodwood hill climb course, completing the legendary climb in 00:41:18 seconds on Saturday. The previous record of 00:41:60 stood for 20 years, and was set in 1999 by Nick Heidfeld driving a McLaren MP4/13. The all-electric Volkswagen was piloted by two-time Le Mans 24 Hours-winner Romain Dumas. The state-of-the-art ID.R averaged 101.4mph along the challenging 1.16-

mile course. The remarkable Volkswagen can accelerate from 0-62mph in 2.25 seconds, topping out at 168mph. Motorsport director Sven Smeets, from Volkswagen, said: “The Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb is one of the most iconic hill climbs in the world. The track is so narrow and difficult to master, with zero room for error. Dumas and the whole Volkswagen team performed flawlessly to set the record. “A change is taking place in the field of production vehicles and in motorsport. Electric cars are becoming increasingly more powerful and it’s great to see them now rivalling combustion engines on track. To get an idea of how far we’ve developed the car, in 2018 we ran a 00:43.86 – this year we were almost three seconds faster.” Also on Saturday, international stunt driver, Terry Grant, drove the length of the track and up the hill on just two wheels in a Jaguar F-Type. Terry is the holder of multiple worldrecords, including having executed the highest loop-the-loop in a car, the fastest two-wheel mile and the highest number of doughnuts in 100 seconds. He continued to entertain the crowds in the arena, a new area for drift cars and stunts, by performing doughnuts in his vehicles around another stuntman on a motorbike. The crowd looked in on awe as the motorists did handstands while Terry drove within inches of him in a circular motion.

The Red Arrows were easily visible in the sky at 11am on Friday, performing their iconic moves, followed by the Blades Aerobatic Team, who performed the remaining three days. The Red Arrows had to cancel their display on Sunday afternoon due to forecast poor weather. Elsewhere, Emerson Fittipaldi was reunited with his legendary Lotus 72, Honda revealed their new electric city car, which goes simply by the name of “e” and Sir Jackie Stewart was honoured with a special tribute. This year marks the 50th anniversary of his first of three Formula One world championship drivers’ titles, and gathered at Goodwood were a raft of cars driven by ‘JYS’ in his pomp. Sir Jackie won 27 World Championship Grand Prix from 99 starts. Interviewed by his former protégé, Indy superstar Dario Franchitti, Sir Jackie said: “It’s a wonderful privilege to be here. I’ve had a wonderful life, blessed. Helen here has looked after me for 57 years of marriage, I’ve got my two sons, I’ve got the Matra in which I won my first British Grand Prix, the two Tyrrells and the BRM in which I set my first lap record and won the Monaco Grand Prix. His Grace puts on a magnificent show. There’s really nothing like it. The British fans know more about the sport than anyone else in the world. They have such an appreciation. It is a real honour to be here.”

Outlook's sunny for Joseph

JOSEPH HARRINGTON has a bright future whatever the weather. THe 28-year-old has achieved his ambition of reading weather reports on the radio. He has taken on the role at Bognor Regis-based Radio Respect. THe online radio station is dedicated to mental health wellbeing. It is run solely by volunteers and all of them and its presenters suffer some kind of mental health issue. Joseph, a transitioning student with Aldingbourne Trust, visited the station in Argyle Road with his support worker earlier this year. He was delighted to learn it was on the lookout for a good weather presenter - and his audition wowed everyone at Radio Respect with his professionalism and talent. "Weather reporting is my dream job," said Joseph. He takes his new role seriously and stays up to date with all the latest weather forecasts and current affairs. His love for his role shines through and he has been told he may well be given his own show. Radio Respect's Liz Latter said: "Joseph is fantastic. He has only been coming for a couple of weeks but, in that time, he has picked up using the recording software really quickly. "THe first week he was so nervous and you could see it in his body language. "But now he has really gained confidence, he speaks clearly and is very professional. He is a true gentleman. "With a little bit more confidence building and practice with the equipment, I don't see any reason why Joseph can't go live and have his own show."

THe Aldingbourne Trust, based at the Aldingbourne Country Centre, set up a transition service in 2018 with Chichester College to enable young people with learning disabilities and/or autism to learn locally and to live away from home. Learners at the transition service are supported to develop their independent living skills, and to develop social networks and friendships. THe service is available to anyone attending college in the area and is linked to their time there. Joseph is studying with THeatre Inc and Performing Arts at the college. He recently took part in THink Again, a variety show full of singing, dancing, drama and musical theatre at the showroom of the University of Chichester. THe people supported by the trust, alongside the other company members, amazed and wowed the audience with their outstanding talent. Joseph has a talent with voices and is very interested in performing and presenting. He and his support worker called into Radio Respect last January when they were out for a seafront stroll. He explained what he would like to do and arranged to go along to pre-record his first weather report. He was so good he was immediately asked to pre-record some news items. Radio Respect runs shows that include phone-ins, interviews and chat based around mental health and great music from a variety of genres. To help to reduce the isolation around mental health, GPs in the Bognor Regis area refer patients to them to offer peer support and offer signposting to other relevant services.

Festival hits the high notes SOME 60 musicians made a Bognor Regis festival a record this year. Performers at the Regis School of Music's annual celebration ranged in age from three-and-a-half years upwards. THe summer festival ended on Sunday with a concert, exhibition and awards ceremony at the school in Sudley Road. One of its founders, Sasha Levtov, said: "THe festival was our 22nd and the most successful yet. "We had three professional pianists one a former student - and competitive and non-competitive events for our students of all ages. "We added a new piano this year for five and under pianists to add to the existing 25 categories. THe youngest participant ever was Cequoia-Glade Cross, pictured on front page. "THe festival is a highlight of our year. It takes months of my time to organise but it is very much worth it." THe festival began on June 14 with an illustrated talk by Anthony Lindsey about On Leaving Romantics for Impressionalism. THe official launch took place on June 16 with a wine and cheese evening. World renowned German pianist Valentin Sheidermair performed a recital of works by JS Bach, Schubert, Lizst and Chopin to the delight of the packed 85-strong audience. Valentin was followed the next weekend by the two outstanding

young pianists, former school of music student Maria Luc, now at the Royal Northern College of Music, and Wyn Chan. THey performed some of their programme of Bernstein's Symphonic Dances and the Rite of Spring by Stravinsky on two pianos and with four hands on one piano. THe same weekend saw two days of competition for under-18 and senior amateur musicians, instrumentalists and singers in various age and ability categories adjudicated by Alison Sutton. A number of non-competitive classes were also held. THe instruments featured included piano, woodwind, cello, brass, guitar and harp. Last Wednesday saw a performance by the younger musicians illustrated by their own drawings and paintings. "THe pictures were projected on a big screen and they were very impressive. THe evening was a great success and it is something we will be staging again during the next year," said Mr Levtov. THe average audience size for the festival was a healthy 40-50 at each session. THe work of the school's 150-strong Friends in maintaining the building had ensured it was in good shape for the audiences. Mr Levtov also thanked Bognor Regis Town Council for its £1,700 towards the school's work. Of this amount, £1,000 was spent on the festival.

Among the objectors at the committee on Wednesday was Arun district councillor Amanda Worne. She referred to the site as a 'concrete crushing plant' and pointed out some houses which could be affected by its dust were only 95m away. "As local authority bodies we, under the Human Rights Act, have an obligation by law to protect people's lives - and I feel that we are not doing this justice if we are actually exposing people's lives in this area to dust particles that we cannot guarantee will not spread," he said. County councillor Jacky Pendleton said: "THere's a risk here - a large risk - that some of these emissions, particularly the dust emissions, will have an adverse effect on the public." A report to the committee said dust would be controlled by ensuring all crushing took place inside the new building, all doors would be closed during the process and a dust suppression system used.

Uni's success BY LOTTE PEGLER lotte.pegler@sussexpost.co.uk RECENTLY published statistics have pushed the University of Chichester up 38 places in the UK league tables. The National Student Survey (NSS) results show the university at 53rd out of the 157 universities and colleges involved. Chichester performed well across the board, with its education courses being ranked first for overall satisfaction. Counselling also topped the list, while art ranked third in the UK and overall satisfaction of the university was rated at 85 per cent, the national average being 83. Teacher training quality was one of the best in the country at sixth place.

University vice-chancellor, Professor Jane Longmore, said: "It is extremely pleasing to receive national recognition for our commitment to creating a studentcentred learning community. "To have risen to the top third of the NSS table is also a great credit to our staff and their commitment to our students." The survey, completed by over 330,000 students from across the country, was commissioned by the Office for Students. Moyin Ekundayo, the Student Union's president, said: "When I ask what makes Chichester special they tell me about the sense of belonging they experience. "Being here is being part of a community where everyone knows everyone else and everyone is included." The results were published last Friday.

f Riders at the Goodwood Motor Circuit

Heart bike ride

THE British Heart Foundation (BHF) is calling on the people of West Sussex to help support a fundraising cycle ride on July 28, at the Goodwood Motor Circuit. The ride has been running for an impressive 21 years, and this year the BHF is hoping it will raise at least £10,000 to help fund life saving research into heart and circulatory diseases. The iconic 2.4 mile track will be open from 10am to 5pm and will be free from motorised vehicles. The event is open to cyclists of all ages and abilities, and volunteers are needed to help keep participants safe, to support registration and to give out medals once riders are finished. Local BHF fundraising manager Hannah Miller said: “We’re really looking forward to the bike ride at Goodwood motor circuit! It’s set to be a really

fantastic day and we hope to see lots of people coming together on two or three wheels to join help us beat heartbreak from heart and circulatory diseases. Events like this simply couldn’t take place without the support of dedicated BHF volunteers, so if you are interested in helping out and can spare at least three hours on the day – do get in touch for more information.” According to the latest BHF estimates, there are nearly 15,000 people in Chichester alone living with the burden of heart and circulatory disease, with far more across the wider region. Funds raised from events like Goodwood can make a real difference, helping to fund research into the causes, preventions and treatments of these conditions. To register and take part in the ride, visit: bhf.org.uk/goodwood

Activities range from a Lullaby Lounge for babies to a seminar about the legal issues we may face as we get older, an Oklahoma!-themed picnic and a Dementia Friends session for local businesses. Nearly all the events are free but voluntary donations to the Ageless campaign are welcome. For more information, visit: cft.org.uk/agelessweek

f Students celebrate the Uni's latest success

Doubt over future of county libraries QUESTIONS hang over the future of a number of West Sussex libraries amid county council plans to cut up to £500,000 from the service’s budget. A report due to be discussed by the cabinet next week said ‘several’ tier 6 libraries could be closed to help save money. There are 13 tier 6 libraries in the county, including Arundel, Petworth, Southbourne, and the Witterings. The cuts are among a list of suggestions for the 2020/21 budget, which could save more than £22m – which opposition members said they would fight ‘tooth and nail’. The list also includes plans to close two of the county’s 11 household waste recycling centres, reintroduce charges for DIY waste, and stopping the mobile waste service in Selsey and the Witterings. These three changes would save £720,000. The council recently came in for huge criticism after cutting £4m from its housing related support budget – with dire warnings as to the consequences for vulnerable and homeless people. Now there are plans to cut as much as £1.3m from the remaining £2.3m in 2020/21. This would be achieved by ‘reviewing preventative contracts and restricting the service to statutory responsibilities only’. There could also be bad news for food banks, Citizens Advice centres and children and family centres with plans to completely cut the Local

Assistance Network (LAN) budget. The budget was cut from £800,000 to £200,000 this financial year and losing it completely will see food banks lose £35,000, children and family centres lose £80,000 and Citizens Advice lose £35,000. The final £50,000 will be lost from social enterprises – businesses with a community aim. Also on the list are plans to reduce subsidised bus services by up to £200,000, to reduce the number of hours during which disabled people can use their concessionary bus passes, and to stop providing passes for carers/companions. This would also save up to £200,000 Council leader Louise Goldsmith said: “We are in the very early stages of planning next year’s budget in very uncertain financial times, so we need to consider as many options as possible. “Like many other local authorities across the country, we’re continuing to face unprecedented financial pressures mainly due to the increasing demand on social care services, a reduction in government funding and uncertainty around future funding. “We have made over £239 million of savings since 2010, with our funding cut £155 million by government, but we still have to save £75.5m million over the next four years. “Regrettably, we need to consider significant savings."

Casting spells is in a day's visit to college

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. We reserve the right to edit letters before they are published. They should be emailed to: news@sussexpost.co.uk, posted to: Post Newspapers Ltd, 63 London Road, Bognor Regis, PO21 1DF or handed in to our office at this address.

Dear Editor, Many people in Aldwick and Bognor Regis think that Craigweil is quite a pukka estate, but impressions can be misleading. Whilst the overwhelming majority of private housing estates in England (well over 90 per cent) are managed by professional managing agents because the residents are good neighbours and want their estates managed properly, the residents of Craigweil have no managing agent working there. Although it was some years ago now, a former neighbour of mine employed a workman to climb up a ladder carrying a hammer and chisel who proceeded to demolish

HUNDREDS of primary school pupils from around Bognor Regis found that going to senior school can be magical. Nearly 500 children were welcomed to the latest of the always popular magic days at Felpham Community College. THe record number of Year 5s from Nyewood, Bersted Green, South Bersted, Edward Bryant, Downview, Rose Green and Bishop Tufnell were treated to a number of cross curriculum activities. THey enjoyed conjuring dragons in the science department, developing bloodcurdling spells in drama and

creating magical stories using animation. College headteacher Mark Anstiss said: "Our magic day events are a chance for students to experience a day in a secondary school and see the different facilities on offer. "Every year we run this event it grows bigger and it always proves popular with the visiting students and staff. "For all our events with younger students, it is great to see their enthusiasm with the activities and learning about secondary school life." THe magic days took place over five

days. Year 9 students at the college helped the visitors in the activities as well as answering questions about the school and the differences between primary and secondary education. It has been a busy term for younger students visiting Felpham. As well as the magic days, Year 6 students joining in September attended a welcome day, transition day and new intake evening. THese gave them the chance to take part in taster lessons, find out their class for September, meet their form tutor and become familiar with the campus.

the chimney and then the rest of the side elevation of the house nearest to my home. If this had happened on another estate it would have been considered unneighbourly but as it was in Craigweil hardly anyone was concerned. THere was no managing agent to investigate or act as sheriff, then or now. So if you ever think of buying a home in a private estate, check to make sure you are happy with how it is managed.

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK July 12 - 19 YESTERDAY, written by Richard Curtis and directed by Danny Boyle, stars Himesh Patel as Jack Malik, a young Suffolk singer-songwriter. He doesn’t draw much of a crowd—four or five people, mostly his pals. One of them, Ellie Appleton (Lily James), is also his manager, who believes in his talent. Jack is less confident of musical success, protesting, “It’d take a miracle.” To which Ellie replies: “Miracles happen.” Ellie is strangely, spookily right. After a freak global event, Jack is the only person on earth who remembers the Beatles and their fab music. But is ‘All You Need is Love’ enough to project Jack to stardom? When he sings ‘Yesterday,’ his friends agree that it’s beautiful, although, as one of them argues, “it’s not Coldplay.” Thanks for that. ‘Come Together’ for the latest Boyle confection. Ethan Hawke is in hawkish, primal scream mode as petty criminal Lars Nystrom in The Captor. Based on real life robber Jan-Erik Olsson and of a real 1973 raid on Stockholm’s Kreditbanken, he draws the amorous attentions of prim clerk Bianca (Noomi Rapace), giving rise to the psychological phenomenon known as the Stockholm Syndrome. Meanwhile, the wily siege-breaking tactics of the chilled police chief (Christopher Heyerdahl) wants Lars and his accomplice Gunnar (Mark Strong) back behind bars. In Memoir of War, Mélanie Thierry as Duras, produces something miraculous in the lead of Emmanuel Finkiel’s admirable psychological drama of the resistance member in Nazioccupied Paris. But when her husband, Antelme, is deported to Dachau, Duras takes a major risk to become friendly with a French collaborator. Ruby Tuesday’s exceptional £2 film this week is The Smallest Show on Earth, starring Peter Sellars, Margaret Rutherford and Virginia McKenna in the heart-warming comedy of a couple overjoyed to find they have inherited a cinema. But is it grand or a fleapit? A joy.

The fascinating documentary, Prophecy, observes Glaswegian figurative painter and past Bosnian British war artist Peter Howson, creating a large orgiastic scene while talking about how he banished the demons in his life as he uses oils, lays down paint over paint, redrawing and reworking the figures with expressive strokes and shifting light schemes. Will anyone will buy it? We follow the art to New York. A captivating watch for those interested in modern art. More inspiration comes from Maiden, the film following Tracy Edwards’ dream of becoming the skipper of the first ever all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989. Performance, on July 14, is the hilarious comic opera by Rossini. The Barber of Seville comes from Glyndebourne (recorded live) with the captivating Danielle de Niese as the determined Rosina. Expect mischief and mayhem thanks to Figaro, the renowned barber. The 28th Chichester International Film Festival prefaces with three open air screenings from August 2, the largest film festival on the South Coast running from August 8 to 25. Book your (free) seats for the media and audience event on July 30 at 11.30am – 12.30pm, artistic director Roger Gibson giving a preview with clips. Full programme out third week of July.

Meanwhile, a furious Nero is determined to crush the British rebellion, led by Boudicca. As the Romans prepare for a historic showdown with the Celts at the Battle of Watling Street, the two new friends find themselves lined up on opposite sides of the battlefield.

In this Festival of Chichester afternoon picnic event, arranged by Amici Concerts and held in the open air, Mary Ann will be performing tracks from her new album, ‘Glaschu’ – A Hometown Love Song for Glasgow. ‘Glaschu’ - pronounced GLASS-khoo - is inspired by the singer’s home city of Glasgow and features songs and poetry celebrating city life past and present. Audiences will be graced with Mary Ann’s distinct vocal set against influential poetry and electrifying instrumentals, portraying a city’s kaleidoscope of life through the ages. Mary Ann said: “I will be sharing a wee bit of Glasgow with the people of Chichester, bringing my home town love songs to their town. These songs are inspired by the ebb-and-flow migration that is part of every city in the world in the world and I hope fans will identify with that.” Mary Ann was raised speaking Gaelic and continues to give centre-stage to her native language with songs which celebrate the vibrancy of city life and aren’t afraid to tackle themes such as social deprivation and religious tension.

Mamma Mia

A little taste of Italy down by the sunny sea in Sussex By Kelly Wickham Mamma Mia 31 Nyewood Lane Bognor Regis PO21 2QB 01243 822334 www.mammamiabognorregis.co.uk

IT'S easy to find Italian restaurants in your area these days, but hard to find an authentic one. What better way to enjoy delicious food than by visiting an establishment which is run by an Italian? Max Miricola, from Puglia in southern Italy, brings you authentic Italian food and wine in a relaxed, informal setting at reasonable prices. Mamma Mia is simply a hidden gem, nestled neatly between the sea and the shops, offering an extensive menu of pasta, pizza and much more. The relatively medium-sized restaurant is really spacious but with ample seating and umber andyou instantly feel transported to the country l Commandwith the large canvas Italian scenes draped on onically, thethe walls. and break My friend, Marie, and I visited on a busy mid-week evening and were seated near the xtracts fromwindow. and recalls Browsing the menu, we both struggled man whoto chose a starter from all the deliciouson the ropessounding options wich included slices of ck.

prawns with tabasco on a bed of salad. In the end, I chose Fungo al Forno: baked mushroom topped with goat’s cheese and sun-dried tomatoes at £5.20 and my colleague opted for Bruschetta: cherry tomatoes, garlic, onions and pesto sauce, for £4.25. The starters are just the right size for holding off hunger pangs and tasted perfect. My mushroom was cooked to perfection and the tang of the sun-dried tomatoes complemented the creamy goats cheese. Marie commented that her bruschetta was also cooked well with a delicious fresh flavour to the pesto. We weren't very adventurous when it came to main dishes, both choosing pizza. Marie opted for Prosciutto e Ananas: Italian ham, pineapple and mozzarella, priced at £8.65 and Quattro Formaggi: an all-time Italian classic with four cheeses: mozzarella, parmesan, pecorino and gorgonzola, for £8.95. As a massive cheese fan, I have to say I wasn't disappointed with the taste sensation of all four cheeses perfectly balanced. The thin and crispy base was just delicious and you can tell everything is freshly cooked and homemade. My friend, Marie, although opting for a classic ham and pineapple pizza, said she was blown away by the Italian style and was extremely pleased with her choice. The restaurant has a range of other pizzas and their pasta dishes include Farfalle con Panna e Salmone: smoked salmon in a cream and vodka sauce; Farfalle alla Boscaiola: mushrooms, spicy sausages, cream and tomato sauce; Spaghetti Montemesola: garlic, chillies, anchovies and virgin olive oil, and Linguine Rucola e Gamberetti: prawns, rocket, cherry tomatoes, garlic, chilli and vermouth. You are also welcome to combine any sauce with a pasta shape of your choice if you want to mix things up. Despite the two of us feeling completely stuffed, we couldn't resist a delicious dessert. We decided to step away from the more indulgent desserts such as homemade tiramisu and cassata and instead I opted for a homemade lemon cheesecake with cream and Marie chose lemon sorbet. My lemon cheesecake was so light and fluffy it simply melted in my mouth but with a clean and crisp lemon tang. Marie's sorbet was a really invigorating and sharp sensation but a really refreshing feel after a lot of carbs.

In most homes, space is at a premium, and where we do have space it is invariably used to its maximum i.e: fitted kitchens, bedroom, bathrooms etc. However, there is a space in most

ILux supply and install loft ladders especially designed for easy troublefree access to your loft. They are also stockists of Velux Blind products. By far the most popular of these is the ilux loft access system. The main feature of the iLux is its ease of use.

Combine this with features such as built-in insulation, concealed hinges, rubber sealing strips and finally the integrated ladder itself made of solid pine.

Their bespoke seasonal fertilisers, NutraGreen, are specifically designed to feed a lawn with precisely what it needs, in the right

quantities and at the right time; making the grass plant grow stronger and more robust. NutraGreen Summer encourages growth and keeps a lawn vibrant and thriving as temperatures rise. What’s more, NutraGreen is formulated using no-scorch technology; so, when applied by a GreenThumb lawn expert, it does nothing but good. GreenThumb also apply a tailored, targeted treatment to rid a lawn of unwanted weeds; which are not only unsightly but compete with grass for essential sunlight, water, air and nutrients. Being made up of living, breathing plants - it is crucial a lawn receives sufficient water just the same as any outdoor or indoor plants. Given that summer spans several months,

it’s good to notice whether a lawn is lacking moisture; hotter, drier weather can turn a lawn yellow and dry. As the grass plant is 93% water, it will therefore eventually die if it hasn’t been able to absorb enough moisture: it’s most beneficial to give a lawn a drink early in the morning or late in the evening. GreenThumb’s Oasis treatment is an ideal complement to a lawn’s watering programme all while offering protection from drought conditions. This targeted water management treatment significantly increases soil absorption of any available moisture, from rain or watering meaning the lawn has access to what it needs, especially during a drier spell. Oasis not only helps the lawn flourish; it also saves water by reducing how much a lawn needs to survive by up to 80% (depending on soil type). GreenThumb recommends implementing good, regular mowing programme. Dry, sunny days are the best conditions for lawn mowing. It’s important that mower blades are kept sharp or replaced when needed, to avoid causing damage to the grass plant. Also, it is

vital, especially during the summer months that grass is not cut too short (less than 1”) as this will weaken the grass, attracting unwanted weeds. Or making a good lawn great, GreenThumb offers a deluxe, lawn thickening treatment - SlowMow. Considering improving the grass density of the grass, SlowMow helps create a beautiful, thick and luxurious lawn. This treatment isn’t just about a stunning appearance; it also greatly benefits the lawn behind the scenes, by encouraging stronger roots - which are everything to a lawn’s health. GreenThumb’s exclusive Lawn Makeover programme has been described by many of their thrilled customers as resulting in “the best lawn ever.” The 12-step process involves completely removing the old lawn and planting and cultivating brand new grass. The Lawn Makeover is a transformation process, creating a fantastic new lawn - with that exuberant, emerald lustre for which GreenThumb lawns are famous.

Reynolds also offer a funeral service from their offices in Bognor Regis, Chichester and Littlehampton and a self storage facility based in Bognor Regis. Service, quality and value for money still form the heart of the business. Selling cabinets, upholstery, beds, linens and floor

coverings from well-known brands such as G-Plan, Stressless, Parker Knoll, Axminster, Hypnos, Mammoth, Sanderson, Cath Kidston and a host of others form the basis of Reynolds stock offering.

Mindful ways to live your life well. Do you have a thought you would like to share with others?

DENISE KELLY A passionate and motivated 'health expert/nutritionist.

The natural benefits of coconut yoghurt www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@ thewellbeingcompanyltd.com YOU EITHER love it or you hate it, but if you haven’t tried it yet I would highly recommend you give coconut yoghurt a try. If you like creamy things, and want something that is good for your gut, which is non-dairy, then this could be your new sweet food of choice! It is pressed from the white flesh of the coconut, which has also been shown to lower bad cholesterol, and may help to reduce belly fat. It contains natural antioxidants, which help to rejuvenate cells and remove free radicals. But most of all, its delicious. There are a variety of benefits associated with the consumption of coconut, but most of these are typically related to eating coconut oil or coconut milk. Since coconut yogurt lacks most of the nutritional benefits contained in other coconut products, like raw coconut, milk and cream, its main benefits are related to the fermentation process used to make it. As a probiotic rich food, coconut yogurt can improve the health of your gastrointestinal microbiome. Your microbiome is important as it influences a lot of different aspects of your health — from your personality, (yes that’s right) to perhaps more obviously related digestive system issues, like irritable bowel syndrome.

COCONUT YOGURT is usually made from fermented coconut milk

Your gut microbiome can also affect your immune system, and central nervous system, and if you are out of balance, your body will know about it! Your gastrointestinal system and brain are actually directly linked via a cranial nerve known as the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is capable of sensing the types of microbes in your digestive system's microbiome, which in turn influences your health. Coconut yogurt is usually perceived as equivalent to yogurt made from animalproduced skim milk, making it ideal for people who are keen on avoiding

animal-based products. Coconut yogurt is usually made from fermented coconut milk. This food is essentially a plant-based yogurt that's usually made without animal milk, making it ideal for people following vegan or paleo diets or people who are intolerant of other plant-based products, like soy. Coconut yogurt is lactose and caseinfree, naturally creamy and sweet. You should be aware that some coconut yoghurts may use animal products, like gelatin or cow's milk. This means that they may be called coconut yoghurt but could actually be a mixture of coconut

milk and milk from animal sources. So make sure you read the label! Also, one big thing to be aware of (because I have recommended this to clients in the past and they have bought the wrong type) don't confuse coconutflavoured yoghurt with/for coconut yogurt. Such products are not made from coconut milk, they are likely to be just regular cow's milk-based yogurt or soy yogurt, sweetened with coconut flavouring.

TIME is fast approaching for this year's Middleton annual village fete, craft fair and dog show. THe popular event will start at 12.30pm on July 21 at Shrubbs Field. THree new attractions are planned by organisers to make the occasion better than ever. A demonstration of croquet, guinea pigs, and a ceremony to knight individuals will form part of the attractions. THe first event will be the dog show. All the usual attractions will be there, such as refreshments

FORMER players of Walberton Cricket Club were invited for a celebratory lunch for its 150th anniversary. Steve Lockwood, Brian Bailey and Brian Varney, the club's oldest ex-cricketers, along with their wives, were welcomed by Walberton Place Care Home, which hosted the afternoon. THe guests enjoyed a menu of 6oz steak with brandy and peppercorn sauce, broccoli and horseradish mash. Dessert was a dark chocolate tart served with Chantilly cream, everything freshly prepared on site by chef Sergio Terrasini. Peter Rolt, customer relations manager, said: “After lunch they enjoyed a tour of the home which left everyone very impressed. In fact, you might say they were ‘bowled over’ by Walberton Place.” THe players, pictured above, made the most of the opportunity to share lots of stories and memories about the club. THey remember the ‘beer match’ being very popular, during which the team would play for a gallon of beer. Away matches were also discussed as the trio remembered the two shillings (10p) tickets for the Southdown bus. One ground was so unheard of, even the bus driver couldn’t find it! Current club president Steve Lockwood started playing in 1949. He told residents how he was once knocked out by a ball that would have killed him if it had been a few millimetres lower. As with all cricket teams, the players had their own nicknames. Brian Bailey was nicknamed ‘Biffa’ Bailey because he would come in late in the innings and attempt to whack the ball everywhere. ‘Buckets’ was the name given to Brian Varney because of the size of his hands. THe South Downs area is thought to be the birthplace of cricket, with the neighbouring village of Slindon recording shepherds playing a version of the game on the Common as early as 1741. By 1892, Walberton was enjoying regular games with Slindon, records showing how the club became an important part of village life. Over the years, the club thrived, until the war years when many players were called away for military service. However, by 1948 the club had started up again, one of the leading supporters being Roy Jackson and his wife, Joan. Roy was a player, captain, chairman and president until he passed away in 2018. Joan made tea for the players for 55 years and both were involved in the club for 70 years. Both he and his wife Joan were fondly remembered by the players during their lunch.

A CO-ORDINATOR has been appointed to oversee work on a new community garden in Bognor Regis. Matthew Guillaume's arrival steps up the creation of the plot in the grounds of the town's library in London Road. THe project is unique for the Aldingbourne Trust and links back to the charity's horticultural beginnings in August, 1978. Matthew said: "I'm passionate about gardening in an environmentally-friendly way, and about highlighting the health and wellbeing benefits of gardening and green spaces. "THese two themes are going to be central in how the project is managed, and how the garden itself is designed." THe development of the community will be funded by grants secured by the trust. THese include National Lottery Awards for All backing and £10,000 from Southern Water, pictured below is the celebration for the grant last year. THe trust will be looking for volunteers from Bognor Regis, including people connected to its work, to help to create the garden. More information will be given in the coming months about the project's progress and how people can get involved. THe garden will be designed as a welcoming space whatever the weather and has the aim of improving lives and promoting water efficiency.

ACTOR and comedian Bobby Davro will be opening this year's Hotham Park Country Fair in Bognor Regis. THe entertainer will perform the honours at 11am on August 3 and will be performing at the park's bandstand. He will be followed on to the open stage by a variety of talented performers to make visitors tap their feet, sing, dance and laugh. THe fair will be 18th to be held in the Bognor Regis beauty spot and will be an unmissable two days on August 3 and 4 with free entry for the whole family. It will be open from 11am to 5pm on both days and is again being staged by Hotham Park Heritage Trust. Its chairman, Ann Cranham, said the country fair, pictured below from last year, had become a major event in the town's summer calendar. "THere will be something for everyone to enjoy the whole weekend. You can browse around the craft stalls, enjoy the live entertainment at the bandstand, watch the children's entertainer, or join in with circus skills," she said. "Eat and drink at a variety of outlets, visit the animal displays, see and hear all about birds of prey, have fun on bouncy castles, take a ride on a horse-drawn wagon or try your hand at archery."

ChangingTimes

By Sylvia Endacott

Bognor was once a hub of royal excitement The stay by King George V changed the town's history forever IT was 90 years ago that the perspective of our small seaside resort on the south coast was to change forever. In 1929, King George V came to the area to recuperate after a serious illness. His visit has been the topic of much discussion ever since. King George V and Queen Mary arrived on February 9, 1929, and eventually left on May 15, 1929, a period of only 13 weeks that was to have many future implications. THe town of Bognor was bestowed with the suffix of “Regis” on July 26, 1929, in recognition of the visit. THe King and Queen were to stay at Craigweil House, Aldwick, which soon became a centre of attraction, not only for the world’s media, but also general sightseers - both visitors and residents alike. THis can be seen from a private diary entry, which reported for April 1, 1929, “D & I took 11.40 bus into Bognor especially to see Craigweil House.” Sir Arthur du Cros, who was involved with the Dunlop tyre Company, placed Craigweil House at the disposal of the Royal family. THe house at Aldwick had been built at the beginning of the 19th century and was described as being a ‘substantial mansion in the Elizabethan style, with balconies and terraces looking directly over Aldwick Bay.’ THe house had been extended by Sir Arthur

Du Cros, turning the three-storey mansion into a special building with terraces, two wings, eight suites and accommodation for 20 servants. THere was a music room containing a cinema, stage and electric organ, the music of which could be piped all over the house. He also had seawater laid on to all the bedrooms. THe lawns swept down to the beach with 200 yards of private promenade. THe house, stood within its own ground, covered 15 acres and was half a mile from the main road. THis was ideal for the police who were protecting the King during the visit. One of the house's main attractions was that many of the windows faced south, meaning they caught the maximum sun available to help the King’s convalescence. However, the weather was not that accommodating because within six days of his arrival it turned colder and soon the grounds were under several inches of snow. THis remained for a further three weeks. THis visit encouraged the hoteliers and traders of Bognor to prepare for an influx of visitors. Even the local telephone exchange reserved 42 lines, exclusively for the use of the house. Local charabanc companies were soon advertising trips to the town to catch a glimpse of the house and maybe even the Queen.

£500 reward offered for a photograph of the Queen in Woolworth's

f A portrait of the King at Craigweil House

f Craigwell House, Bognor Regis

f The King and Queen attracted visitors from across the country

So much was the interest in the royal visitors that at one time there was a £500 reward for any photograph taken when Queen Mary visited Woolworth’s. I am not aware if a photo was taken of this event, however, a picture was taken that April when Queen Mary visited the Burgess Bazaar in Waterloo Square. When King George V returned to Windsor, Sir Arthur Du Cros handed Craigweil House over to the Bognor Town Council for 12 days to allow members of the public to visit the house. During this period, 15,827 people roamed throughout the property, visited the King’s bedroom, sat in his chair and viewed the sandcastle built by his grand-daughter, now Queen Elizabeth II, in the grounds. For the traders and hoteliers, the story was very different. Because the public believed that any visit to the area would be greeted with higher prices and over charging, traders had one of their worst seasons. Many hotels and boarding houses even reduced their charges in an effort to attract the absent visitors. One trader reportedly said 'bugger the King’s visit' in reply to questions about the royal visit. In July, 1929, a special thanksgiving service was held in Westminster Abbey to commemorate the King’s restoration to full health, which was broadcast to the nation. Here in Bognor, all the churches also held thanksgiving services and it was reported they were all full to overflowing. In St John’s Church, London Road, there were over 1,000 in the congregation, with extra chairs being brought in for the service. THere was a report in a local newspaper during July, 1929, regarding the pending name change of the town. “Bognor Regis is a name not without its

critics. Personally, I am only too glad that the town was not entirely altered and that it did not lose its identity.” THe report concluded, “Bognor had by the King’s visit been dragged from obscurity and broadcast to the uttermost ends of the earth.” Following all the euphoria of the nation regarding the King’s return to health, there was a specific interest retained in Craigweil House. It was for this reason the locals were astonished when news broke of the sale of the house and its contents in 1932. THere were plans to turn the house into a hotel or residential home, but nothing came of this and by 1938 the house had been demolished and the site cleared, leaving only the stables. THe land was divided into building plots, which were put up for sale. Many people still, to this day, ask to visit the site where King George V stayed to recuperate. THe story is as much alive today as it was in 1929 when the centre of the Empire moved to the area. I suspect that some people who now live on the site of Craigweil House are not fully aware of the implications of the site. I am also aware that for many people the renaming of Bognor to Bognor Regis was unacceptable as the King had stayed at Aldwick and visited the area, especially the church in Pagham, regularly, while allegedly only visited Bognor, for approximately 40 mins. Whatever the reasons, we now have a name that to some is a music hall joke, to others a status symbol. Whatever your beliefs, King George V and Queen Mary stayed in the locality to continue the trend of royal visits, much as Sir Richard Hotham had intended in the 1790s. *Sylvia will be at the Do You Know Bersted? sessions from 2-4pm and 8pm next Tuesday at Bersted Jubilee Hall off Chalcraft Lane.

Sportinbrief î ? Darts PAULA DUCKETT proved herself to be the champion of champions in the Bognor Friday Night Summer Darts League, finishing top of a high calibre field containing no less than five former champs. Five-time champion, Hayley Phillips (Hunston Hares), was first to fall, losing out in a deciding leg to the reigning champion, Emma Hackett (Aldingbourne Mavericks), in the first round of the Shenagh Wickens Ladies knockout. Hackett herself would then lose to another former champion, and Aldingbourne teammate, Paula Duckett in the first semi-final. The second semi-final would see the 2012 champion, Karen Wilson (Richmond Rebels), lose to the 2017 champion, Bridget Derwojed. With such a high-quality field, the final was inevitably a close run affair, with Duckett withstanding some heavy scoring from Derwojed, who hit a 135 in the final leg but failed to leave herself on a double, before sealing her Summer Ladies knockout title, 12 years after her first, with double ten in the fourth leg.

Lancelot looks to make Glorious history LANCELOT Du Lac will have to upset the odds if heâ€™s to become the first dual winner in more than 50 years of one of Glorious Goodwoodâ€™s most lucrative races. No horse since Sky Diver in 1967 and 1968 has won the ÂŁ250,000 Unibet Stewards' Cup more than once. And bookmakers remain unconvinced Lancelot will end that wait this year, placing the Dean Ivory-trained horse and winner of the Unibet Stewards' Cup in 2017, at 66/1. More than 100,000 people are expected to attend Glorious Goodwood, from Tuesday, July 30, to Saturday, August 3. Prize money for the five-day racing spectacular now exceeds ÂŁ5.5 million including the ÂŁ1-million Qatar Sussex Stakes, the cavalry charge that is the Qatar Steward's Cup and the marathon Qatar Goodwood Cup. Ed Nicholson, head of Kindred Racing Communications and Sponsorship, said: "The Qatar Goodwood Festival is one of the highlights of the racing calendar and I am delighted that Unibet has extended its association from sponsoring three races last year to becoming the exclusive official betting partner, and in addition to sponsoring no less than nine races during the five days, including

the ÂŁ250,000 Unibet Stewards Cup and the ÂŁ150,000 Unibet Golden Mile.â€? Another horse hoping to replicate past form in the race will be Justanotherbottle (25/1) aiming to better a short-head defeat last year. Trainer Declan Carroll said: "Justanotherbottle is in good form. "The Unibet Stewards' Cup has been on the agenda for a while, given how well he ran there last year, and hopefully we can get him there in similar form.â€? Four-year-old Flavius Titus is the 12/1 market leader with Unibet after two victories from three starts in 2019. Newbury Listed victor Khaadem, llightlyraced three-year-old Victory Day and 2018 Great St Wilfrid Handicap winner Gunmetal also figure prominently in the betting at 14/1. Early betting indicates the ÂŁ150,000 Unibet Golden Mile will be a tough race to call. Hamdan Al Maktoum's Afaak, who rose to prominence with his nail-biting nose victory over the mare Clon Coulis in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot, is one of five 12/1 cofavourites with race sponsor Unibet. The other market leaders include recent Listed runner-up New Graduate and History Writer.

Chi snap losing streak in style

î ? Darts ANDY STUBBS held his nerve to claim the Over 50s knockout title for a fourth time. The Hunston Hares player had to win it the hard way after beating reigning champion, Keith Robinson, of Chi Snooker Club, over three legs. His final opponent, Gary English, had an easier time in his semi-final as he won in straight legs against Stubbsâ€™ Hares teammate Graham Clear. Stubbs set his stall out early in the final with three tons in the first leg and clinched it with double five just as his opponent had caught him up at the doubles. English then took an 18-darter including a 140 to claim the second leg before a mixture of heavy scoring and double trouble saw Stubbs seize back the initiative in a tight third. English fought back again with some high-quality darts, narrowly missing a 124 out shot before tidying up with his next throw, to take the game to a final leg. A 125 put Stubbs in command as Englishâ€™s scoring deserted him leaving the Hunston man to seal his fourth title.

f Glorious returns at the end of this month

f Middleton lost to Three Bridges on Saturday

Middling Middleton stuck in mid-table MIDDLETON will aim to show they are the best of the rest in the ECB Premier in what is expected to be a tightly-fought contest at East Grinstead this weekend. The two clubs are separated by just four points and one position in the table after 10 games and will both be desperate to claim maximum points if they have any hopes of cutting the gap to the top three. Middletonâ€™s hopes of breaking away from a congested mid table were dealt a blow in a tight, high-scoring game against Three Bridges last time out. The home side set a challenging target of 235 thanks to some quick scoring from opener Harry Hovey (61 from 56 balls) and wicketkeeper Mahesh Rawatt (94 off just 64 balls) and a more doughty 35 not out from Matthew Reynolds who kept the innings on track as wickets started to fall. And hopes for a home victory were raised further still when early breakthroughs rocked

Three Bridgesâ€™ chase to leave them three down with only 55 on the board. But a patient partnership between middle order pair Joe Walker and the aptly named David Winn put the north Sussex side in total command. Three late Craig Fowle wickets (3-51) briefly put the outcome back in doubt but ultimately it was too little, too late, and Three Bridges claimed the 28 points by four wickets to move within 21 points, but still four places, of their hosts in an increasingly congested middle. East Grinstead head into the game on the back of a three match unbeaten streak following an impressive six-wicket victory over Preston Nomads. Middleton will be wary of East Grinstead wicketkeeperbatsman Leo Cammish, who led the successful chase with a wellpaced 84 not out while former Sussex seamer Lewis Hatchett opens their bowling.

CHICHESTER Priory Park can begin looking up the table rather than down after an impressive bowling display broke their confidence-sapping losing streak last weekend. Daniel Joseph (3-8), Matthew Geffen (3-36) and Abhishek Raut (4-16) all excelled with the ball as they skittled Burgess Hill on their own ground. The home sideâ€™s chase never got started, with Joseph claiming a wicket in his first over while the final four wickets for the hosts fell for just two runs. The 124-run victory was built on a determined Chi batting display built around the contributions of captain Jay Hartard (42 off 49 balls) and top order batsman Joe de la Fuente (66 from 101 balls). They now have Lindfield, just one place and 17 points better off, in their sights when they come to Priory Park this weekend. Bognor, on the other hand, will be hoping to get back to winning ways at home to Burgess Hill on Saturday after a below-par batting performance saw them slip to defeat last time out.

A top order collapse left Bognor fighting for a foothold but only Joe Ashmore and Taylor Jaycocks could stick around long enough to give themselves a total just over 150 to bowl at. It nearly proved enough as Bognorâ€™s attack was able to send seven Haywards Heath batsmen back to the hutch with Roy Kaia and Joe Ashmore, with the wickets each, doing their best to salvage the situation though ultimately it was in vain as the hosts nervously chased down the runs in just over 35 overs. Paghamâ€™s deep batting line-up will be rubbing their hands with glee at the expectation of another glut of runs when they travel to basement dwellers Stirlands on Saturday. Pagham smashed 322-9 at their last outing at Littlehampton to keep pace with the leading pack in Division 3 West. The mammoth total was built around Ryan Barrattâ€™s fine century and he received useful support throughout the middle order and tail all the way down to Sean Ritter coming in at ten. It was more than sizeable total for victory with their visitors falling 77 runs short.

Rocks off holiday and back to work

ng e f The Rocks had their first defeat on Tuesday

THE ROCKS haven’t rediscovered the winning formula just yet but there are few concerns as the club test their pre-season readiness against higher calibre opposition. Bognor Regis Town are drawing on the positives of their first outing of the season - a 3-1 defeat to Havant and Waterlooville on Tuesday night. Coach Robbie Blake said the club was excited about the start of the new season with new signings already in place and more additions to follow as the friendly capped the end of the first week back at training. The game came just 63 days after the culmination of a 2018/19 season to forget for Bognor including a miserable run of one win in 12 league games to suck the life out of any play-off aspirations. Fans will probably have to wait a little longer to see a return to winning ways as the club face a Portsmouth side this Tuesday who thrashed them 5-1 at this stage of summer last season and who came so close to promotion to the Championship last season. After last year’s defeat to Pompey, the Rocks did not taste defeat again for another two months and will be hoping for a

similar start to this season. Tuesday night’s loss to different Hampshire visitors saw new faces in the starting line-up for Bognor for fans to run the rule over, including keeper Charlie Searle, a potential replacement for crowd favourite Dan Lincoln, who has not confirmed his return for the new season as yet, and Joby Griggs. Facing a higher ranked side further along in their preparations, almost inevitably the Rocks found themselves behind as Havant bagged two before half-time and another shortly after the restart. Another new face, trialist Tommy Leigh, did his chances of an extended stay the world of good by bagging a consolation for the Rocks with the game already lost within minutes of coming in. Tuesday night’s game will kickoff at 7.45pm with tickets £10 for adults and £3 concessions for under-18s. The season will also see Bognor step back in time to reunite an old partnership. The Rocks have confirmed that Reynolds Furniture Store will have their name splashed across the team’s strips this year, just as they did a quarter of a century ago.

Everything’s all-Wight for Chi in pre-season CHICHESTER City kicked off their preparations for their first ever season in step 4 with a visit to a classic summer holiday destination. But it was no vacation for Chi who put in the hard yards under a baking sun to get their pre-season preparations under winning ways against an Isle of Wight XI with goals from Callum Overton and Lukas Jones. They head to more familiar surroundings this Saturday when they take on Arundel as they build-up sharpness and fitness ahead of their first game in the newly named BetVictor South East Division. Sidlesham looked to have picked up exactly where they finished last season as they started pre-season with a thumping 4-2 win over familiar foes Bosham on Saturday before following that up on Tuesday with a 2-1 over Premier Division East Preston. They will step up their preparations with a home game against Rustington on Saturday. Meanwhile, Bosham will face a difficult start when the new season kicks off again having just learned their first three fixtures will all be on the road. Tony Hancock’s Robins will travel to reelected St Francis Rangers on August 17 and then Montpelier Villa and Ferring on bank holiday Monday before finally enjoying home comforts against Rottingdean Village on the last day of the month. Pagham will begin life under new boss Bob Paine on the road at Hamble this Saturday. The former East Preston manager has taken over at Nyetimber Lane following the

surprise departure of Tom Simmonds. One of his first competitive fixtures in charge will be against either Worthing

United or Oakwood in the second round of the Peter Bentley Cup after the draw was made earlier this month.

Q&A with Rocks manager Jack Pearce By Tim Ridgway

THE Rocks got their preseason fixtures underway this week with a visit from National South side Havant & Waterlooville. Next up is League One Portsmouth - but despite the tough tests, one man is delighted to see Bognor tun out at Nyewood Lane. Jack Pearce has been involved with the club for 50 years. And in the second part of the Q&A he reveals his focus for the pre-season and beyond. How are you feeling about the pre-season fixtures? Havant was the first one we have and for both clubs it was be about seeing where we are with players. Obviously they are one step above us. They have had a lot of change round the club with a new manager and investment across the board. So, the match gave us a chance to see where we are and what more we can do. The results of pre-season matches do not matter but it is important for us to see how people manage in various phases of the game and give us an idea what more we need to do to get ready for the first competitive match. What are you expecting from the match against Portsmouth? It is always a good occasion and our biggest pre-season income generator so it is a very important night for us as football club. The money we generate from that match goes straight back into supporting the club. It's a good night for the fans and a real test for the players to go up against full-time pros from a few leagues above us. Hopefully it will be a good test and set us in good stead

f Chi celebrate last year's victories

for the year ahead. Are we expecting any more additions to the squad? We are in good shape but there will likely be a few more faces brought in. We are looking most probably at signing another centre half and also a goalkeeper to push Dan Lincoln. It's not just the playing squad you look after, it's the ground too - what work has been going on in the past few weeks? We are lucky to have a great team of volunteers who help keep the ground looking in good condition. Over summer there have been a general tidy-up which means the ground is looking excellent. The main priority for us is to get a new toilet block installed on the far side of the ground as the existing portable building is becoming too expensive to repair. It's likely that we will get round to that during the first few weeks of the season. Looking long-term, we need to get things in place to increase the seating capacity at the ground. The plan we have at the moment is to build a 500-seater stand on the near side, which will require a large amount of work moving forward. That will be my swan song! Are you looking forward to the pre-season trip away later this month? It's something a bit different and we are delighted to have the chance to take the squad up to the Midlands to help us prepare for the new season. It will be hard work for the players but it'll be fun, too, and will undoubtedly enhance our team spirit.
