From Chef’s Special Board Available Monday, Wednesday and Friday COASTAL residents across Bognor Regis coast in a changing climate. (Excluding Cllr Paul Dendle only (C, Arundel) said: Bank Holidays) will continue to be protected against 12noon-2.30pm flooding. THe pledge was made by Arun District Council's leader, Cllr Dr James Walsh, after claims from opposition councillors some areas of the coastline could be abandoned to the sea. Cllr Dr Walsh said at Wednesday's full council meeting the row was artificial scaremongering for political purposes. "Can I say in the strongest possible terms that the cabinet has no intention, this council has no intention, of giving up the sea defences in the inhabitated areas of the Arun coastline? "All the villages are protected and will continue to be protected," he said. "So, please let the message go out loud and clear that there is no intention of abandoning the sea defences or residential areas in the Arun district. "And the measures that have been taken in Pagham in the past, if they need to be taken anywhere else, will be taken. THat's what we have to do. "Please stop frightening the public that their homes are going to be flooded. THey are not if it's in the power of this council." THe argument began over a report by Arun's engineering services manager, Roger Spencer, to the council's cabinet of senior councillors last month. Mr Spencer stated the council might want the option of abandoning certain parts of the district's coast in response to a report by the government's committee on climate change about managing the
"THat's a fairly serious statement that an officer would make to cabinet. "THe cabinet went on to wax lyrical about climate emergency but didn't actually deal with the detail. "THe detail was that basically an officer, who had been defending the coastline in places like Pagham and in places Standard plate only like Climping, we now have size a situation where we could have coastal areas being sacrificed. "Can we get a categorical assurance that residents of places like Pagham and places like Climping will not be sacrificed?" Cllr Shaun Gunner (C, Rustington E) said the cabinet report did not respond to the threat of climate change. Available 9.00am - 11.30am "I am worried that this report will be used in a way to selectively stop coastal defences in our community. "THe report is not about managing the coastline but not managing it. Road, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20 Bognor "What does this mean for residents? What does it mean for businesses? It is Tel. 01243 756170 BrickKilnGardenCentre not clear what the cost to residents and businesses will be," he said. Cllr David Huntley (I, Pagham) said: "It's very important not to let the sea roll up over the beach crest. THe next place it will probably stop will be the A27. So, it's important to defend our coastal communities." As reported, Arun has undertaken a long-running series of schemes to protect Pagham beach from erosion.

BALANCING too much can be hard and often leaves you feeling very alone. Nikki Manley, from North Bersted, knows the struggle more than most. Having taught at THe Regis School for eight years, Nikki decided to leave, concerned that she was spreading herself too thinly - to the detriment of both her children and her pupils. After leaving the school, she found herself feeling very isolated and lonely, despite having her two kids, Nathan, 13, and Dorethia, 22 months. She said: “THere’s not enough community, I couldn't just pop down to the road to my friends, they were all working. "I was going to groups to make friends, but every time I'd fail miserably and go back to my car and have a cry because I felt so useless. “Having a baby knocks your confidence a bit. You’re not yourself, you’re really hormonal, you’re really tired all the time. "I made it my mission to message everyone locally that I could find, just to make some friends." After using its friend finding app for a little while, Mush contacted Nikki and asked her to organise MushMeetups. “THis is when”, she said, “everything properly started”. “For over a year now I’ve been organising the events for local parents. I’ve had hundreds of mums from all around the local area. “THat’s what I’m really passionate
about, helping local parents feel less isolated.” From there, a friend asked her to join her in holding Messy play weekends. THe pair hope to expand to Arundel from September as well as their current base at the Jeneses Centre in Bognor Regis. Nikki also runs a business - MeTime along with hosting the play events, and being a science tutor, Based around bringing together local therapists and beauty technicians, Nikki helps businesses get clients at the same time as offering taster classes for the public. Nikki made it clear all her projects were linked. She said: “For me, it all feeds in together, it’s about the community looking after each other.” Her focus for every part of her life, both as a mum and as a business woman, is about helping other mums and dads feel more comfortable when it comes to making new friends. Nikki said: "As children, when you meet new people, you can just ask them to be your friend and that’s it, as an adult it’s so much harder. "My best piece of advice would be try not to be frightened of taking the first step and saying hello to somebody, literally anybody, when you go to a group. "Even if the whole room is silent, chances are everyone in that room is feeling exactly the same as you. It is really scary, but that's okay."
Witnesses wanted for knife robbery at Rose Green store STAFF at a Rose Green convenience store have been robbed at knifepoint. Police have appealed for witnesses to the crime, around 5.45pm on Monday, to contact them. A man went into the shop in Nyetimber Lane, at its junction with Grosvenor Gardens, threatened its workers with a knife and stole money from the till. No-one was hurt. THe man tried a stop a car at knifepoint in nearby Osborne Way minutes later. He was unsuccessful and ran off. Officers investigating the incidents arrested a 40-year-old man on
suspicion of robbery and took him into custody about an hour later. Detective Sergeant Alex Lowe said: "Uniformed officers responded quickly to the scene and were able to arrest a suspect shortly afterwards. "However, we would like to hear from any witnesses who saw the robbery in the Co-op or the attempt to stop the car driver in Osborne Way." Anyone who can help with the investigation is asked to contact Sussex Police online at: sussex.police. uk/contact or phone 101, quoting serial 1187 of 15/07.

f A Bognor Birdman in 2017
Birdman grounded
f The competition's finalists with Simon Brett, front centre, at the launch WINNING writers have been selected from a Bognor Regis group's first short story competition. THe 22 authors contributed the 25 best entries for Bognor Regis Write Club's new book. THe anthology. Meet THe Winners, was launched on Monday. First place went to Havant resident Lucy Flannery for THe Cabinet. She described it as a comedic, heart-warming tale about a gay couple at a crisis point in their lives. It is her first short story, though she has writing credits in theatre, radio, TV and film. She said: "I'm an absolute novice when it comes to short stories and I'm grateful to the write club for recognising me in this way. "You can't hide in fiction. It's fair to say that, if you have good actors and a good producer, they can make a poor script seem good. But there's no-one to do for it
when you write." THe club began in October, 2013, and is limited to 25 members. Its short story competition was open to everyone. Julia Macfarlane, who chairs the club, told those at the launch at the Regis Centre that 56 entries had been received. A panel of 10 judges whittled them down to the final selection. "I do like all the stories in our book and I am extremely pleased that you sent your winning stories into us," she said. THe event's special guest was novelist and playwright, Simon Brett. His prolific output of more than 100 books has seen him gain national recognition. THey include the Charles Paris murder mystery books and TV comedy, After Henry, with Prunella Scales. "I am lucky to make a living from something I would do anyway," he said. "I
can't remember a time when I didn't want to write." He awarded the prizes to the top three authors and the two writers whose works were highly commended. Second place went to Karen McCreedy, of Bognor Regis, for a tale about a business executive who sees a fairy. She has written two books and several short stories. Jane Lupino, of Runcton, claimed third prize for her science fiction story. She changed writing from a passion to therapy after she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. She said: "One of the biggest symptoms of fibromyalgia is depression. I am keeping it at bay by writing because there is so much else going on in my head." THe two highly commended writers were John Marston and David Warwick. THe book is available online from Amazon and info@aldwickpublishing.com

A FIRST Pride event - and Birdman in Bognor Regis have been scrapped. THe celebration of diversity and equality was due to have taken place on August 31 and September 1. It was set to incorporate the famous Bognor Birdman event on the first day. But the organisers, who had been backed by the Bognor Regis Post, announced last weekend they had been forced to pull the planned crowd-pulling occasions this year. THey said in a statement: "THis wonderful double event will not be happening in August as hoped. "Unfortunately, we have been unable to satisfy Arun's H&S (health and safety) requirement. "We are working hard and aim to bring it back in 2020. "Anyone who is booked to fly or run stalls will be contacted in due course. We won't give up, both these events are essential in our town." It was last February the idea of the new-look weekend was announced. THe Birdman would return, after an absence in 2018, to a one-day event on August 31 from the weekend-long festival of wacky fliers in recent years THe following day would see the town's initial free Pride celebration. It was promised as a huge event which focused on individuality, equality and inclusion and celebrated every aspect of our community including families, those with disabilities and the LGBT community. An Arun spokeswoman said public
safety was its top priority at any event. To achieve that, organisers had to meet specific requirements. THese included the submission of suitable event plans. "THis enables the Safety Advisory Group (SAG), which includes partners from Sussex Police, West Sussex Fire and Rescue, South East Coast Ambulance Service and the local authority to consider whether the planning is satisfactory to ensure an event can be run both successfully and safely. "Considerable efforts have been made to work with the organisers of the Bognor Regis Pride and Birdman events," she said. "THis includes the extension of event plan submission deadlines which we normally require nine months in advance of such an event. "In this instance, the organisers have withdrawn their event application as they were unable to act on the outstanding concerns of the SAG with so little time left until the proposed event date." Arun recognised the importance of events in the district, the spokeswoman said. Councillors endorsed this approach with a new events policy earlier this year. "We welcome the resubmission of the event plans for consideration in future years within the required timeframes, so that the SAG can work with the event organisers to ensure a successful and safe event," she added.

Skip proposal beats protest PROTESTS by more than 20 residents failed to stop containers being kept at a North Bersted site. THe 24 letters of objection to the approval at Babsham Business Centre in Babsham Lane were joined by one from Bersted Parish Council. One of the protesters, Alyson van Koolbergen, told councillors: “Babsham Lane is a shared lane between cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles whichever way it is looked at. “More than half a dozen signs are visible to prove it is a designated cycle and footway along the lane itself. THerefore, it is necessary to warn drivers entering and exiting the site for whatever that there will be cyclists and pedestrians, including children, to be aware of. “THe skip storage facility has brought in extra vehicles to the site and the speed at which some of these vehicles enter and exit the site is worrying to watch. “Whilst we understand that there is a need for the facility the applicant is providing, it seems to us that this is being carried out at huge cost to anyone or anything in its way to keep on expanding.” Cllr Phil Woodall stated the parish council’s concerns: “THe site is unneighbourly, more vehicle movements and work involve welding will result in more noise pollution for the surrounding properties. THe proposals will affect the highway safety of a country lane for residents with extra lorry movements.” Arun District Council also received 11 letters of support for the application
by Recycle Southern. THey praised the company’s service and said it needed room to expand and its presence cut flytipping and reduced the amount of waste going to landfill. Planning officer Dan Vick told the council’s development control committee last week the application sought permission to retain two secure containers at the site, a portable toilet, a portable office/staff room building, fencing on the south-west boundary, 2.55m high gates, two 2m high flat-topped landscaped bunds on the south-east boundary and other areas. THe company gained permission to change the use of the site to skip storage in December, 2017, he said. No more vehicle movements would be caused by the application. THe existing number of lorries using the site did not conflict with the council’s highway safety policies. “It is not considered the new on-site features and facilities are such that there will be any greater impact on amenities of residents than the approved use,” he said. Committee member Cllr Gill Yeates (LD, Bersted) said she sympathised with residents but the matters they raised concerned enforcement rather than the planning application. She called for trees screening on the north-east boundary to limit the disturbance to residents. Cllr Hugh Coster (I, Aldwick E) said: "THis particular application only relates to the additions in this site and I don’t see there is anything we can actually object to in this particular case.”

Project to regenerate town is finished - says councillor DRAWINGS for a £3.5m regeneration scheme in Bognor Regis have been torn up by councillors. Arun District Council's new Liberal Democrat controllers confirmed this week they had completely scrapped the latest designs for the abandoned Pavilion Park project. THe previous Tory administration of the council spent more than £320,000 on landscape consultants as a further stage of progress for the proposals to replace the Hothamton car park, children's play area and Sunken Garden. But the council's cabinet scrapped the plans at its meeting earlier this month. Some of its members used Wednesday's full meeting of the council to state no trace of the ideas would be put to the public in future consultations about the future of the Sunken Garden. Cllr Francis Oppler, the deputy council leader, said the results of the local elections in May showed the choice of voters between the Conservatives who wanted to go ahead with the Pavilion Park and their opponents who opposed it. "It was an election promise we made and an election commitment we have delivered. THe previous administration were progressing the Pavilion Park on the thinnest level of support. "THe main motivation was not one of regeneration but redevelopment and the creation of flats to provide the council with future revenue streams. "It would have been at a wasted cost of £3.5m for a scheme the people of Bognor
Regis did not, and do not, want. "THe Conservatives have wasted millions over the last 15 years on futile regeneration plans for Bognor Regis that have gone nowhere, absolutely nowhere. "We will have a completely new and fresh approach. "Councillors will help develop these new ideas in the coming weeks and months and we will go out to consultation to the public and they will have a meaningful say on what is delivered in the long-term," he said. Cllr Terry Chapman (C, E Preston) asked for the drawings compiled for the Pavilion Park to be included among the three options out out for consultation. Cllr Paul Dendle (C, Arundel) called Cllr Oppler naive for believing the council elections, held against the backdrop of the Brexit debate, gave him the mandate to scrap the Pavilion Park. "THe situation is not whether I support the Pavilion Park or not, and I have no actual opinion on it...but I do think the people should be asked what they think because we don't know what they think. "We should be finding out what the people of Bognor Regis really do think. I don't have a clue but I think the consultation will tell us." All the district's residents had paid for the previous work on the Pavilion Park, he said. "THe fact you have just swept it aside five months after a decision (to approve it) was made in full council and took it to cabinet to rubber stamp was wrong."
Warrior returns home IMAGES of North Bersted's oldest known resident have been shown in the area for the first time. THe details about the Bersted Warrior highlighted some of the remarkable facts about the skeleton which was uncovered before hundreds of new homes were built. THey formed one of the displays at the Do You Know Bersted? events staged by Bersted Parish Council on Tuesday. Parish councillor Wendy Kapp said the Bersted Warrior's remains were uncovered in 2008 and had since been subject to extensive studies by THames Valley Archaeological Services. "THis is the first time any of this has been shown in Bersted since the warrior was excavated. It's a really important part of Bersted's history. It looks like he was found between what is now Bersted Park Community Centre and the children's play area." More details about the warrior are due to be announced shortly. But it is believed he died about 50BC aged between 30 and 45. He is thought to have been a cavalry officer of King Commius 'the Attrebation', who was the King
of the Attrebates of Gaul. One of the helmets found with him is unique in this country with its modified metalwork crest. Also on display were details of Bersted's more recent past. Some 40 people went along to the first of the two exhibitions at Bersted Jubilee Hall. Bognor Regis Post columnist Sylvia Endacott took part in local history question and answer sessions. "Everybody has been talking about bits and pieces of history that nobody else knows about. We have got to start recording this because change happens so rapidly," she said. One of those present, Bognorian Maureen Noble, 74, of Ivy Crescent, said: "THere is a lot of good information on show. A lot of us have got photos, which we ought to look out." She has traced her family's history in Bognor Regis and Chichester back to the mid-19th century. Parish council vice-chairman Cllr Jonathan Spencer urged Bersted residents to contact its office with any historical iinformation. THe Bersted Warrior is reproduced courtesy of TVAS.
` Woman banned
f An artist's drawing of the Pavilion Park concept
A WOMAN has been banned from residing, unless she is a named tenant, in the Arun and Chichester districts for five years. THe penalty was imposed on Lydia Cunningham, 23, of no fixed address, when she was given a criminal behaviour order at Brighton Magistrates' Court. Magistrates were told she had breached a criminal protection order to not be in the districts. THe notice was given to Cunningham for frequently taking over the addresses of vulnerable people and using the space for criminal activities. Failure to comply with the order means Cunningham, who is unemployed, will commit a criminal offence for which she may receive a prison sentence. Sussex Police Prevention Inspector Steve Turner said: ""I want to assure the public that we will continue to use anti-social behaviour legislation, as well as criminal powers, to ensure that offenders not only answer for their criminal behaviour, but that they are subject to ongoing restrictions." He called on residents to report any sighting of Cunningham in Arun or Chichester to police without delay.

Home away from home UNDERSTANDABLY priding themselves on their food and facilities, Walberton Place Care Home is the perfect balance of care, hospitality and luxury. THe property is new and completely purpose-built, with multiple dining areas, a hairdressing salon, cinema room - equipped with a popcorn machine - and gastro pub, all built around a courtyard filled with seating and lush greenery. THe building has multiple cafe areas, with a constant supply of pastries and coffee, perfect for family members coming to visit. Since its grand opening at the end of April, the home has come on in leaps and bounds, already looking after 10 residents and expecting more very soon. Not only does the home have a stand out care system and selection of facilities, but it also has a luxury hotel feel, rather than the clinical atmosphere often associated with care homes. Among the numerous relatives constantly coming in and out visiting family members, was Helen Smith. Mrs Smith often visits her aunt, Elieen, in the home. Elieen was one of the three original residents. Her family decided she should go into care after falling at her home in Seaford. Mrs Smith said: “It’s the whole package. She’s been really well looked after. THe food is fantastic, the facilities are great, there’s something happening everyday.” On any given day Walberton Place runs some kind of activity, whether that be cupcake icing and a day trip to the beach, or pizza making and a dog show. THeir latest launch is ‘THe kitchen that
never forgets’, encouraging residents to bring back skills that may have been lost over time. Led by the home's award winning chef, Sergio, and fellow chef, marc, residents will be baking, sharing recipes and reminiscing. THis week's activity was icing cupcakes. Mrs Smith continued by saying: “She’s making friends so she’s encouraged to be in their company but then she’s also got the option to spend time and have her own space. “THe room is lovely, it’s all very well furnished like a hotel, she’s really happy here. She loves it. “Before she came to Walberton Place, she hadn’t been out of her home in four years. Now she’s socialising, she likes going out, she’s a different person. She’s even got a little group of friends who have their lunch together.” THe entire property has been fully furnished to accommodate, and give attention to, each resident’s individual needs. THe first floor of the building is completely equipped to be dementia-friendly, a particular focus for everyone at the home. Stations along the hallways allow for residents to fiddle and tidy like they often want to. A shelf covered in necklaces, glasses and other accessories, dubbed ‘rummage things’, is perfect for one resident who often walks along filling her trolley with the items, each one being placed back in their original space every night by the patient night staff. It’s not only the relatives who appreciate the Walberton home, but the staff are all carefully selected by Cheryl Rolt, the home manager,
“It’s the whole package. She’s
been really well looked after. The food is fantastic, the facilities are great, there’s something happening every day.”
to ensure the quality of care is the best it can be, meaning they’re all passionate about what they do. Kelly Mitchell is one of the staff working on the dementia floor of the home and says it is her passion in life, and one that she believes is often misunderstood. For her, the care home is the epitome of how elderly care should be. She said: “THe facilities are amazing, the activities are great and it’s all very hands on, as it should be. We’re lucky enough to have an amazing OMi table for dementia, which is fantastic and opens up so many opportunities. Few other places have anything like it.” THe table is an interactive station that can be
used in a number of ways, to trigger memories, to encourage individuals to be more active or just to have fun. THe home strongly believes in encouraging family members, friends and people from the local community to visit residents. In order to do this, they host a number of events that everyone can join in with. Recent events have included quizzes, a visit from a local primary school and a coffee morning. THey are also holding a summer fete on Saturday, August 3, from 2pm-5pm. THe event will include cream teas, games, stalls, refreshments and an opportunity to name the grand giraffe statue based in the courtyard.

Government protest plan PLANNING boss Martin Lury intends to protest about ‘unfair’ housing targets around Bognor Regis to the government. Cllr Lury has been Arun District Council’s cabinet member for planning services and said his two months in the role had shown him how the odds were stacked against local authorities. Arun has a 4.7 year housing land supply – just below the five year minimum demanded by the government. THis means developers have more freedom to build on sites of their choosing. Cllr Lury said; “We are left open to more development. We are having to make decisions and can’t protect what we want to. It’s not good news. “What I intend to do is to contact my fellow cabinet members for planning and try to get a delegation to go to Downing Street, or wherever we have to go, to meet the (government) minister. “We are being set up to fail. It’s slightly ridiculous if we can’t prove a five-year housing land supply, over which we have little control. “If developers don’t want to develop, because markets are uncertain, as they are, we can’t force them to develop. “THis means, basically, they can then apply to develop wherever they want.”
Cllr Lury made his comments at Bersted Parish Council, where is a longstanding member. He urged the other parish councillors to fight to protect their remaining green field sites because ‘they are seriously in danger’. He repeated his pledge to try to ensure large housing sites which were being developed contained a wooded area. “We need more trees and what we are doing at the moment is knocking them down,” he said, “which is a worry because Arun is particularly denuded of trees. “Climate change really is an emergency. THings have changed so rapidly over the last two years.” He would seek to include planning rules to reflect the environmental situation in notes to the district council’s local plan land use blueprint called supplementary planning guidance (SPG). “THe problem is that the requirements in SPGs are not so strong as those in the local plan. "THat’s why we have been left with a local plan which is not really fit for purpose,” he added. See page 17
Council intends to branch out and plant new trees in its area A TREE a year is intended to be planted by Bersted parish councillors. THey have included the goal in the latest update of their parish plan. Cllr Jim Heaton, chairman of Bersted Parish Council's finance committee, said meeting the ambition would depend on finding the correct sites for the saplings. As well as the new tree, to be planted through a county council scheme, trees in the parish suitable for tree preservation orders would also be identified to ensure as many could be kept as possible. THe improvement was among three
agreed by the councillors at their meeting last week. One of the others was to encourage joint working with groups in the area to enhance various sites with longterm projects. THe third change was to include signage for Bersted Jubilee Hall, which contains the parish council's offices, off Chalcraft Lane. Cllr Patrick Hastings said a sign already existed at the entrance to the hall's access road but it was obscured by an overgrown tree. THe parish plan was compiled by the council to set out its ambitions.

"We are looking to see how we can boost support for our local charities in terms of campaigns and fundraising. "THat is something we would like to look at in the near future," said Mr Smith. In opening the centre last Friday, Mr Jupp said in his usual irreverent style: "I shall certainly be donating my clothes here. No-one will buy them but I will the next week after they've been washed!" Catherine Tafft, the centre's manager, said it would complement the existing Age UK town centre shop in London Road. "THat is definitely not going to close. Not everyone can get out to a store like this," she said. THe new centre has four paid staff and six volunteers. More help is needed. Mr Smith said charities had an important role in providing retail outlets. "THe likelihood is that 20,000 shops will close across the country this year. Charity shops help to plug the gaps left by these closures and are needed more than ever," he added.

A NATIONAL charity has chosen Bognor Regis for its fourth donation centre. Age UK's latest outlet was officially opened by the town's well-known cartoonist and jigsaw puzzle illustrator, Mike Jupp. THe premises on the Arun Retail Park in Shripney Road of just under 2,000sq m boast a selection of new and used furniture as well as clothes, CDs and DVDs and other items. Nick Smith, Age UK's head of operations, said: "THis is our fourth donation centre across England and Wales, and our 15th furniture store. "THe location here is right for us. We will be able to farm out donations to our other stores in the area. We have quite a few shops in a 10-mile radius." THe takings from the centre will go to Age UK nationally before being distributed to its regional organisations. THese include Age UK West Sussex, which runs the town's popular Laburnum Centre.

Big day for preschool graduates PRE-SCHOOL children celebrated their special graduation last weekend. Out of the 30-child class at Potter's House Pre-school in Yapton, 26 of them attended the afternoon held at Eastergate Village Hall. THey were accompanied by around 70 of their family and friends who all came along to celebrate with them. Sally-Ann Barker, manager of the preschool, and organiser of the event, said: “We made a big fuss this year for the children because many of them have been at Potter’s House since we opened. “After having them go through so much change in their lives and watching them develop, alongside my own little project, has been so special. “THe children were so beautifully behaved and took the whole thing in their stride. THe feedback I’ve had from their families has been so positive.
“THey did a little dance on stage and then collected their certificates. THey then had an entertainer from Froggle Parties come to give them a special show. “I think the whole day was amazing from start to finish," Sally-Ann said. “I’m so glad I’ve been able to give them a proper send off, they all mean so much to me. THey are a truly special year group and I’ve loved the past few years with them.” One mum, Amy Custerson, attended the afternoon to support her daughter, Phoebe. She said: "A preschool that goes above and beyond made sure graduation day was no different. "Afternoon tea for the adults, entertainment for the children and above all a send-off to remember for all our precious babies. It was an amazing day from start to finish."
Felpham fete is sun and fun A RECORD turnout at Felpham's summer fete resulted in a record amount of funds for the village. Well over 1,000 people were believed to have packed into Old Rectory Gardens for the fifth annual event held by Felpham Village Conservation Society. Glenn Powell, the society's spokesman, said: "It was our busiest fete yet. We are absolutely delighted with the general support we had from the local community. "THat includes not just people who visited the fete but also businesses who supported us and the volunteers who helped us to stage the event. "It was good to see some new faces

among the helpers. A society like ours needs new blood." Initial figures show the society will have made a best-ever £4,000-plus from last Saturday's occasion. Society chairman Joyce Pritchard said: "All proceeds are put back into Felpham projects such as the hanging baskets, monthly beach cleans, new benches for Old Rectory Gardens and support for St Michael's Allotments." THe fete's attractions included eight stage acts, 17 stalls and games for all the family, which included hoopla, skittles and mini golf. Many of the stalls promoted the activities of groups in the area.

Visitors to motor gala take journey through time among the displays PROUD Bognor Regis classic car owner Trevor Philipott has shown his fourwheeled pride and joy for the first time. Trevor was among some 160 motoring enthusiasts who took part in this year's Drive THrough Time motor gala. THe town council-held event in West Park on Sunday marked the public debut for his 1977 Triumph Stag. Trevor, 63, said: "I've only owned the car for a year. I bought it because it's something to tinker with. It's about reliving my youth a bit as well. "I did my mechanic apprenticeship in a garage and a lot of drivers would bring their Triumph Stags in. "I live in Bognor Regis five minutes down the road from here and I thought I had to show my car at my local show. It's as simple as that. "I've been to Drive THrough Time before as a visitor. As an owner, it's all about meeting people and seeing other people's cars. A lot of people have said they used to own a car like this. THere's also one or two other owners here as well and it's good to talk to them. "THe Stag is good fun to drive and I'm amazed that it's so extremely comfortable. It's not so fast as modern cars but I don't care about that - and it has got a lovely sound to it." THe gala was the eighth to be held but it had looked in doubt in the early morning when light rain began to fall. THe sky partially cleared by the time the gates opened at 11am. Town council events officer Kirsten Fitzpatrick
estimated 2,000 visitors had attended during the day. "We had 15-20 no shows because of the weather earlier on," she said, "and, because of that, the number of owners who turned up was slightly down on previous years. "THere have been a lot of familiar faces among the entrants but also a number of newcomers. "It has still been a good day. A lot of people have said they like the general atmosphere around the event. "THere are not just the vehicles to enjoy. THere is the F1 British Grand Prix live on the giant screen, the kidszone, which is always popular, and 20-plus stalls for people to look around. "I hope the event will take place again next year. I will be reviewing all aspects of it before I give my recommendation to the town councillors, who will make the final decision." One of the younger visitors was Calee Booth, ten. He said: "It's been good. I've been to nearly every one of these events. "It's got all sort of cars and I like seeing the motorbikes as well." THe cars on view spanned the decades and included a 1938 MG TA, military vehicles from the Second World War, a 1953 Chevrolet Belair, a Rover 95 from 1963, a 1977 Ford Granada Mk1 GL Saloon, a Jaguar XJS Cabriolet from 1987, an Aston Martin DB5 built in 1995 and a 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser. One of the most eye-catching cars was the Lotus Espirt, of John Brandhuber,
painted in the custom colour of Norfolk Mustard. Felpham resident John, 69, said of his 1985 Series THree model: "It's good fun to own. It's only a toy. I don't use it for dayto-day driving. "I used to own a tank for 18 years. THat was good fun but it was getting harder to drive and is serious when it comes to using petrol. "About three years ago, I decided to have a look at classic cars and I now own a Lotus Elise as well. ""It's a very nice drive and comfortable and I enjoy owning it a lot. "THis Lotus does not turn as many heads as the tank did but I still get people wanting to take photos of it when I'm filling it up at Tesco. "It's generated quite a lot of interest today as well. Most people know these cars because they appeared in two Bond films and was used in one of them as a submarine. "THey were the Series One and Series Two models, but they all look the same, and the cars had that Seventies wedge. People can't believe it was 34 years ago that the cars were in the films." John has been a participant in several Drive THrough Time days starting with his tank. "It's well organised and you get a lot of interest here," he said. "THere are more people here than there are at a lot of the other events I go to."

Steve finds soldier's diary
A BOGNOR REGIS man's First World War memoirs have come to light a century after the town celebrated the conflict's official end. THe memoirs of Private Reg Sims were uncovered by town resident Steve Gordon, who was given them some 40 years ago. THe diary details Pvt Sims' service in the Middle East in the 4th Territorial Battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment and is a timely reminder of those who served in the Armed Forces in the war. THe official Victory Day celebrations were held 100 years ago on today's date. Cliff Mewett, in his book Bognor and the Great War, says: "THe festivities began with the firing of 21 maroons at 9am in Waterloo Square by the zealous members of the Bognor Fire Brigade." What followed included the largest procession the town had seen, a children's sports day and ended with an illuminated carnival and 10 flares being sent up which 'brilliantly illuminated' the town for nearly an hour. THe event was only possible because of the sacrifices of servicemen like Pvt Sims. Taxi driver Steve, 75, said: "I used to have a hardware and TV shop in Chichester Road and gave OAPs discounts and free delivery. "THey were good to us and we tried to be good to them. One day, one of the customers said he wanted me to have his life's memories - and that was it. "I just promised him I would do something with them. THe publicity around the centenary of the end of the First World War prompted me to look for them in my loft." He intends to give the memoirs to Bognor Regis Museum for its display about the war. Steve was a member of the successful
sixties band, THe Diamonds, and is still gigging with fellow original member, Terry Slade. THe diary begins in January, 1916, when Pvt Sims is waiting in camp in Egypt after nine months training to re-join the 1/4th battalion. He had volunteered for foreign service on enrolment aged 18. He talks of seeing several chaps from Bognor and of the heat, flies and mosquitoes. THe thermometer touched 119F inside a tent in mid-May, 1916. He was involved in fighting the Turkish cavalry the next month about 10 miles from the Suez Canal. On March 24, he entered Palestine and his entry for April 3 reads: "Bullets whizzing past my head & throwing the dust up all around us & shrapnel & high explosive shells were bursting about every fifteen yards." For August 6, 1917, he states – "I did the company-quartermaster-sergt’s work whilst he was on leave at Cairo having to see to the rationing of a hundred and fifty men, clothing them, watering them etc & of course water means a lot out here in this country & I am glad to say that I got on jolly well. "I am down to go to Cairo on leave on Friday next the 10th of August, it will be a bit of a change to see Egypt again after being five months in the battle zone especially Cairo where instead of trenches & dead Turks there are modern streets like any town in Blightly & I must not forget the shells considering we have only been out of their range once in five months." November 19 sees him talking about attacking the Turks in Beersheba: "... there were dead and wounded Turks all over the place & we also captured some prisoners & by the beginning of daylight we were masters of the hill."

Arts evening wows locals BY LOTTE PEGLER lotte.pegler@sussexpost.co.uk AN ARRAY of art and literature was put on display last week as part of an annual event. THe evening, hosted by Felpham Community College, was an opportunity for the school to showcase their students' work in front of parents and the rest of the community. Jen Tompkins, head of art and photography, organised the evening. She said: “THe whole event had an absolutely gorgeous atmosphere, both among the parents and the students. It was really, really lovely. “Nights like that always bring the whole school together. Each and every student had the chance to show their best sides, their talents, no matter what area they flourish in. "It’s an opportunity to show sides that you obviously don’t always get to see otherwise. It was great to see their faces, they were all so happy.” Having run over many years, the event has evolved to include all the creative subjects including DT, Art, Food tech, Photography and English. THe students all had a part to play, whether that be with their work on display, doing a reading or helping out on the night. THere were 40 performers involved and 200 students who had their work on display.
Jen said: “It’s a great event for the whole community, not just parents. It’s nice having people who don’t necessarily have a direct link with the school, but who are interested in art or literature and come along to check it out.” Year 8 student, Joseph Mackley, was involved in a drama display in front of the crowd, as well as reading his own passage in the library with the English department. He said: “I love performing. It has been a passion of mine for a long time, so when I was asked to perform my piece that I submitted for my exam, I obviously said yes straight away. “I love the adrenaline of being up there in front of everyone, both reading and performing”. Art teacher, Sarah Watson, helped out on the night. She said: “I think it’s incredible to see students who are all involved in different subjects getting the chance to show off skills that I didn’t know they could do. “It’s a great event, especially for younger years who may be inspired by the older pupils, and feel encouraged to do similar things to show off their talents. “I’m impressed by the number of people who have come to look around. It's relaxed so it’s a great opportunity for the students to enjoy the evening and have fun, and parents to see how talented they are.”

` Butlin's planning
f Families and the public came to show support
CONSULTATION is to be held into the renewal of a special planning status for Butlin's in Bognor Regis. Arun district councillors have agreed in principle the local development order which covers the holiday site should be renewed for a further five years from this September. But they want to hear the views of the public before the draft renewal of the order becomes permanent. Nigel Crowther, Arun's group head of planning, told the council's development control committee last week that Butlin's had yet to take advantage of the order but saw it as a useful way of saving time and money for the company and the council. "Butlin's have expressed a desire to have the order renewed. It is reasonable for it to be renewed for another period of time. "But should we be sitting here in five years' time I might not be saying the same thing," he said. THe order enables Butlin's to carry out small scale improvements on its 21.6 hectare site without the need for planning approval. THese include new solar panels, new buildings and structures up to 4m high and single-storey extensions.
` Fun for summer

Friday, July 19, 2019
Call for review COUNTRYSIDE campaigners in Sussex have called for an urgent review of housing plans. CPRE Sussex has called on councils such as Chichester and Arun to consider all their housing applications against the backdrop of climate change. Its says more and more councils are being forced to put housing before the climate crisis. Government guidelines require local authorities across Sussex to build more than 100,000 homes by 2036. THis rush to build was severely at odds with the government's recent pledge to end global warming emissions by 2050. David Johnson, CPRE Sussex's vice-chairman, said: "We are calling for a review of all our new planning applications and all current management plans for water, energy, transport and infrastructure in the light of climate emergency. "Our concern is that, despite all the dire warnings about the state of our planet, there is still an insatiable obsession with growth in the county which just cannot be sustained.
"Planning authorities across Sussex should now be urgently reviewing and climate/future-proofing all new developments in preparation for climate change. THis should surely be prioritised ahead of artificially inflated housing targets." Southern Water agreed last month to pay £126m in fines and compensation for several serious failings - partly because of artificially inflated housing targets. But CPRE Sussex said problems also existed with the county's transport networks and energy supplies and the environmantal implications of losing more valuable green spaces. Dr Roger Smith, of the charity, said he was concerned council planning officers were constrained by the government regarding planning matters. "Our ability to manage climate change is fundamental to our future and gives us greater responsibility to fight to keep and develop more green havens, plant trees and stimulate bio-diversity and soil health, let alone fight single-use plastic and road schemes," he added.

f Cllr Roger Elkins with an LED lantern head
Bright idea for a cash-saving light A NEW conversion scheme will shed light on saving money in Bognor Regis and Chichester. West Sussex County Council is to use a £26.5m loan over 25 years to install 64,000 LED lamps in its street lights. THe change is expected to produce savings in electricity and maintenance costs of £90.1m during that period. As part of the scheme, a remote monitoring system will be introduced to control the lights and monitor and identify faults. THis will help to cut costs because of the requirement for fewer site visits and less need for temporary traffic lights and traffic management during maintenance - to reduce delays for road users. Cllr Roger Elkins, the council's cabinet member for highways and infrastructure, said: "THis is a 'win win'
for residents and the environment, with reduced electricity and maintenance costs and a 17 per cent decrease in the council's total carbon emissions. "THe decision to roll-out the scheme, which is subject to the council's usual call-in period, comes soon after we launched our online climate change campaign. "It shows our clear commitment to the West Sussex climage pledge and the practical, cost-effective measures we are taking to cut carbon emissions. "THe LED lamps are also designed to have a cleaner 'cut-off' of light, so they are efficient at directing light where it's needed, which also supports a darker sky initiative. A council spokesman said LED technology had improved in recent years. THese units can generate the same amount of light as traditional
lanterns but using a lot less energy. THey also have a much longer lifespan. Traditional lighting needs lamp changes every four years. LED lights will last for about 100,000 hours - equal to some 20 years in the county's existing areas with lighting for part of the night. THere are already about 2,000 LED lamps in use in the county. Most of the lighting in the South Downs National Park has been converted to them to help to protect natural views of the sky. THe county council's climate change campaign and the West Sussex climate pledge asks everyone in the county to commit to make small changes. THese include making low carbon journeys, saving water and energy and passing on plastic. People can find out more about the pledge at: westsussex.gov.uk
f County Hall in Chichester
Council budget cuts PLANS to cut funding support from some of the most vulnerable people in West Sussex by more than £1million have been suspended for a year – but a number of libraries are still at risk. At a County Hall meeting on THursday last week, members of the county council’s cabinet looked at 18 areas put forward for millions of pounds of possible cuts or savings from its forthcoming budget. Perhaps the most controversial was that of housing-related support. THe service offers help to homeless and vulnerable people and there was an outcry when it was announced that £4m of its £6.3m budget would be cut by April, 2020. THis latest proposal called for another £1.3m to be cut in 2020/21, leaving just £1m in the pot. With a lot of work going on between the council and partners such as the Stonepillow and Turning Tides charities to help stretch the budget and find other funding, Amanda Jupp, cabinet member for adults and health, asked for the idea to be dropped. Explaining that there were ‘many critical decisions being made’, she added: “THere’s a lot of hard work going into this. "We’re bringing everyone together, we’re working hard with our partners – and Rome wasn’t built in a day. “I would really regret losing the trust that we have built up with our partners and providers since this decision was originally taken. “In the fullness of time we will get a much better outcome which will then show that we will not have to be funding this to such a large extent.”
It was agreed to suspend the proposal for one year. Members were given three options for the 18 areas – to put them forward for more work to find out if they would be viable, to take them off the table completely, and to pause any further work until a later stage. Even if paused, a proposal could be put back on the table at a later point in the budget procedure. THe county council is legally required to present a balanced budget in February 2020. One of the other proposals was to save up to £500,000 by making some changes to the library services . THis could include changes such as closing several branch libraries, reducing opening hours, and removing the mobile library service. THe libraries at risk would all be from the 13 rated as tier 6. THey include: Arundel, Petworth, Southbourne, and the Witterings. THis proposal was put forward for further work. THe council is working on transforming libraries into community hubs, bringing various services under one roof, and Debbie Kennard, cabinet member for safer, stronger communities, said she thought the £500,000 could be ‘mitigated’ through that work. When Dr James Walsh, leader of the opposition, asked what exactly that meant, he was told the proposal would be ‘included in the forward plan for further work to be done, looking at mitigation as the solution'.

f The High Sheriff presented awards at a special ceremony
Police are recognised for outstanding work in county BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk POLICE officers, staff, special constables, volunteers and members of the local community from across Chichester and Bognor Regis were recognised for their outstanding contribution to policing over the past year in an awards ceremony. Award recipients from across the county were invited to the ceremony at Arundel Castle to receive their awards and acknowledge the achievements of their colleagues and members of the public. Presentations were awarded by High Sheriff of West Sussex, Davina IrwinClark, and Chief Constable Giles York. Officers recognised included Detective Constable Andrea Watts, who
was praised for her dedication in the investigation of a large discovery of a container of drugs in Aldingbourne in May, 2017. Andrea worked relentlessly on the investigation, analysing the exhibits seized from the container and arranging the search of the address of the suspects. Her dedication to the investigation on top of her daily caseload led to a man and woman being charged with money laundering and possession with the intent to supply class C drugs. THe pair were sentenced to a total of 12 years following a 12-day trial over the production of illegal steroids at the secret laboratory. Special Constable Jake Sloane was commended for his dedication to mentoring his colleagues across Chichester and Worthing. His enthusiasm towards supporting,
coaching and mentoring has led to an increase in officers being able to patrol within the local communities independently. PC Rob Crombie was applauded for his calm manner when a man threatened to harm himself at St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester, in May, 2018. Rob acted swiftly and bravely, stepping in to prevent any harm to the man or other members of the public. Chief Superintendent Jerry Westerman said: "It was wonderful to recognise some of the outstanding work that has taken place to make West Sussex the safest place it possibly can be. Police officers, police staff and members of the public have gone over and above what is expected of them, showing skill, determination, understanding compassion and bravery along the way."

f The Queen's Field playing field on West Meads f Residents at the Maypole Lane crossing in Yapton Dear Editor, We are writing in reference to your item and photographs in last week's edition of the Bognor Regis Post. We are residents of Lake Lane and are also very upset by the extra noisy train horns since the new Yapton level crossing installation. THis is noise pollution to an unnecessary extent and we do not understand why the new level crossing, itself a big upgrading of
safety standards, should be a reason for the sometimes long and intrusive additional train horn noise. It affects us most unpleasantly and must also affect hundreds of nearby Yapton residents Of course, safety is paramount, but we implore those responsible to examine the problem and to minimise the use of train horns before it affects the safety of our minds! Name and address supplied
Dear Editor. I read with interest the letter sent in and published by yourselves in the Friday, July 12, edition of your paper. THe letter was sent in by Mr Nick Cotton regarding estate management, or should I say the lack of it. I live on what is termed a garden estate, THe West Meads in Aldwick, one of only a handful of garden estates left in the country. THis estate is supposed to be and, in fact, was designed to be an open plan estate, meaning exactly that. However, over the past few years
people moving on to and already living on what is/was a beautiful estate, seem hell bent on putting up high wooden fences in front of their property. We have residents and developers trying to squeeze extra properties or big extensions into their gardens, many of which are not so pretty. Yes, I appreciate it's 'their property', but why on earth do you want to put ugly wooden six foot fences up around the front of your property? THankfully, there are a few residents that complain to the authorities, but very little is done. With that, and the gangs of feral
youths wandering the estate day and night, smoking/dealing weed, causing damage and covering the green in sweet wrappers, plastic bottles et al, the estate will soon no longer be the lovely open estate it was designed to be. I was led to believe the younger generation were more aware of the litter/ plastic problem. Well, that is certainly not the case with our youths. And as for dog owners not clearing up after their animals, don't get me started. THey should be ashamed. A concerned resident, West Meads
National strength, locally delivered.

Vita and Virginia July 19 - 25
THe affair between Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf is winningly recreated by Gemma Arterton and Elizabeth Debicki in Vita and Virginia, the liaison testing to near-destruction socialite-author Vita’s marriage with Harold Nicolson along with literary icon Virginia’s relationship with stolid Leonard Woolf. Vita’s disapproving mother, Lady Sackville, is played by Isabella Rossellini. Eileen Atkins wrote the script. In the German thriller, Balloon, Peter Strelzyk, his wife Doris and their two children make their bid for freedom in a hand-sewn hot air balloon. One dark night, they take to the skies and drift towards the west, before plummeting to earth agonisingly close to the border. Hastily covering their traces, they try to resume a normal life while secretly preparing for a second attempt. THis impressive, realistic film is not to be missed. Yesterday, written by Richard Curtis and directed by Danny Boyle, stars Himesh Patel as Jack Malik, a young Suffolk singer-songwriter. 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. Featuring previously unseen footage, Apollo 11, an electrifying documentary, marks 50 years since the first moon landing, which presents newly discovered colour footage of the build-up with the buzzcut wholesomeness of the astronauts’ good-naturedly trustful faces – Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins - in close-up, the electrifying launch, the touchdown and the return to Earth. See this edifying and inspiring documentary to remind you what it is to be truly
awestruck. Get your skates on to book a seat for the formidable THe Lehman Trilogy, live from the National THeatre and this week’s Performance Event. In September, 2008, the top brokerage firm Lehman Brothers collapsed. It was the largest bankruptcy filing America had ever seen, and sparked the greatest financial devastation since the Great Depression. Director Sam Mendes tell the story of the men behind the world-famous corporation, from the moment the three brothers from Bavaria – Henry (Simon Russell Beale), Emanuel (Ben Miles) and Mayer (Adam Godley) Lehman – made the crossing to America in the mid-1840s. 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 – 25.

Fun for all the family now that summer is here By alicia denny alicia.denny@sussexpost.co.uk AT last, school's out for the summer - and six glorious weeks of freedom beckon for the nation's children but, after the first few days of euphoria, how do you keep them happily occupied? Luckily, here in West Sussex, there are plenty of places to visit and, of course, it's a holiday destination for people from less fortunate parts of the United Kingdom who come to enjoy our combination of beaches, countryside and historic towns. THe South Downs National Park has become established as a green lung for walkers, cyclists, horse riders and nature-lovers while town dwellers can enjoy outdoor space, such as Hotham Park in Bognor Regis and Priory Park in Chichester, for free fun in the fresh air. Food tastes better outdoors so why not take a picnic and make a day of it. THe beaches at West Wittering, East Wittering, Selsey, Aldwick, Bognor Regis and Felpham are magnets when the weather is fine but, if it turns chillier, indoor swimming pools offer splashing good times for all ages with leisure centres at Felpham and Westgate in Chichester and the outdoor Arundel Lido plus the new Splash Waterworld at Butlins where day visitors are welcome to join holiday-makers. For working parents, the leisure centres often have all-day supervised sports,
games and crafts to keep youngsters busy and out of mischief. For water activities of a quieter sort, Arundel's Wildfowl and Wetlands Centre has special activities for children throughout the holidays to help them appreciate their environment and the many waterfowl and other creatures inhabiting the River Arun valley. Arundel itself is a lovely place for a wander around the quaint streets, walk around Swanbourne Lake or take out a rowing boat. It's difficult to ignore the castle high on the hill which has a range of history-related events throughout the summer. THe industrial history of both town and country can be discovered at Amberley Museum and Heritage Centre which is based in an old chalk quarry in the village north of Arundel. THere is a wealth of interest for all the family, from train and bus rides to a nature trail, woodcraft area, a pottery and the electricity demonstration area to name just a few. Heritage with a more rural theme is at the Singleton's Weald and Downland Living Museum where 50 re-erected buildings bring history to life as they reflect how people have lived through nearly 2,000 years. Special children's holiday activities take place weekly, offering crafts and other fun. Going back even further in history, Fishbourne Roman Palace has the largest collection of original mosaics dating
from the the period of Roman invasion of Sussex. Again, there is an emphasis on helping youngsters appreciate life of that time with dressing up and things to do. Chichester's Novium museum in Tower Street houses the remains of the city's Roman baths on its ground floor and currently has an exhibition on how Hollywood has interpreted the stories of ancient Rome. Entry is free and there are displays about the history of Chichester, too. For creative children, Pallant House Gallery in Chichester has workshops and other events aimed at young visitors and Chichester Festival THeatre has a range of familyfriendly productions and events. A number of commercial stage and dance schools in the area offer extra classes for the holidays, as does the Alexandra THeatre in Bognor Regis. THe National Trust houses at Petworth and Uppark, near South Harting, both have family trails so visitors can make the most of a trip to those venues while Stansted House, near Rowlands Castle, runs a mini train through its grounds, as well as play equipment and a maze in its extensive grounds. Wherever you go and whatever you want to do, you and your family are bound to find something of interest to do in West Sussex to fill those long summer days.

All the fun of the fair West Sands Fun Fair Selsey PO20 9BH 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 fun-seekers 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.

to provide leads – this happens naturally as you get to know other local businesses and the great products and services they offer. To find out if your business sector is represented and hear about the benefits of joining, contact miriam.nicholls@arun.gov.uk. Members of ABP receive monthly newsletters promoting financial support and grants, introductions to new members and local business and employment opportunities. Every year, the organisation celebrates the very best businesses which operate across Arun District through the prestigious Arun Business of the Year
Awards, which have been taking place since 1997, and the number of entries increases every year. With a total of 16 categories for businesses of all sizes and industries, winning an award is a great marketing tool and source of pride for the winning companies. Each award is sponsored by a local company and the awards ceremony is a great opportunity to network and make fantastic business contacts. THis year's award nominations close on October 18.

Networking: curiosity did not kill the cat By Debbie Ford The Chichester Social www.thechichestersocial.com AGAINST all the odds, they’ve let me write another feature! Seriously though, thank you for all the kind messages I received after the first one and the ideas for future topics; much appreciated – my network is a great network. Which subtly brings me to this month’s topic: Networking. Networking, in some people's eyes, conjures up dour connotations of a room full of suited men all trying to sell, sell, sell. THankfully, as the world of work has evolved, so has the many variants of networking groups available and who they are supporting. So what is networking? Well, the internet describes it as ‘the action or process of interacting with others to exchange information and develop professional or social contacts'. Why do we need to network? In Chichester us selfemployed folk are over 15,000 in number, 20 per cent of the “economically active” population and twice the national average. So you are beginning to see why networking might be a pretty important and valuable thing here in Chichester, especially if
we want our businesses to be a success. I contacted my networks to ask for comments on their experiences of networking: What are the lows? ‘Not being listened to or feeling judged’; ‘having a business card thrust at you without asking any questions first’; ‘like a bad, awkward date!’ What are the highs? ‘Recognising mutual interest and arranging to meet to discuss further’; ‘hearing that my business has been recommended’; ‘making friends’; ‘hearing about a service I didn’t know existed’. ‘Being part of a community’. Emily Penny, brand strategist of becolourful.co.uk, sums up the value of networking: ‘You just never know what might come from conversations with interesting, diverse groups of people. If you work for yourself, just getting out there and bouncing ideas with other professionals can help you see business issues in perspective, and keep you in good mental health.’ For me, personally, the networking meet-ups that insist on an “elevator pitch” do nothing to support those that are not natural presenters or feel under the spotlight when facing a group of peers; you’re never going to present your best self no matter how
polished your one-liner might be. I often hear people say 'I’m an introvert, I’m no good at networking' - you just haven’t found the right network yet. THe business community that you surround yourself with should make this a non-issue. Make it work for you – you’re not alone in having the feeling of bneing overwhelmed that sometimes comes with larger groups. If this has whetted your appetite to give networking a whirl, here are three that I can recommend that have members from a wide range of sectors: Last Friday Club - I set this up in 2016 with my friend Emily Perry, after finding no local networks that focused on the needs of freelancers. For me, it was about building a team (a network) around me and to understand more about running my own business and supporting others in running theirs. THrough a crossover of members, I quickly discovered Design Collective Chichester. THis was also founded in 2016, by Alys Bryan and Julia Grant, and brings together some of the finest creative design talent in the local area. After a couple of years running my business, I realised I wasn’t investing in my own marketing, so I found that THe Collective, started by Abby Smith and Helen Hoile, worked for me. THey’ve just celebrated their first year and are expanding into Southsea, too. If you want to grow your business and increase awareness, then you need to start connecting more offline. Instagram isn’t your marketing team. Put a face to your brand. People want connection, not information. My closing advice is to never look at networking as “What’s in it for me?” THink of yourself as part of a business community. You can be the eyes and ears of all that you are connected to. Be an introducer – be a source of knowledge for others, be generous with time and expertise and you’ll not go far wrong. THis is the kind of connection that people remember and you’ll certainly reap the benefits. Last Friday Club - next meet-up July 26, 9am, Fenwicks Cafe, Priory Park (free) Design Collective Chichester - next event, “Wish
You Were Here”, August 8, 6pm-10pm, Pallant House Gallery (free) The Collective - next evening mingle, August 5, 6pm. Email hello@thecollectivechichester.com for details Other notable business networks in Chichester include First Friday Network and Chichester Chamber of Commerce - both are worth a look.

Mindful ways to live your life well. Do you have a thought you would like to share with others?
DENISE KELLY
I THINK BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE RESULTS THAT THEY WANT, THIS IS MAKING THEM FEEL GOOD.
A passionate and motivated 'health expert/nutritionist.
Eat yourself happy with healthy foods www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@ thewellbeingcompanyltd.com YOU are what you eat! Why has happiness taken over our conversation so much recently? Every time you open a newspaper or turn on a television interview, someone is talking about tools and ways to create more happiness in your life. THe other day I heard an interview with the well-known celebrity, Fearne Cotton, about her daily struggles in life from anxiety and the ways that she has learned to cope. Just because someone appears to have everything, such as fame, money, and the perfect image, doesn’t mean they do not have their own issues.
I think it’s an amazing thing that she is speaking so freely about her own struggles, in such a public way, as many of my clients suffer from anxiety, depression and mental health-related ailments, which can make life very challenging at times. Even the very knowledge that others are out there feeling exactly the same as you, is a good place to start, because you don’t feel so alone. I was pleased to hear that Fearne has created a mini festival all based around happiness! Ferns Happy Place festival is taking place at London’s glorious Chiswick House and Gardens and Cheshire’s picturesque Tatton Park, in collaboration with Rituals and is a welcome addition to Fearne's hugely-acclaimed Happy Place podcast and her Sunday Times

A lot of the way we feel can be related to our diet and exercise regime
best-selling book, Happy. So what is the purpose of this festival? It aims to help clear the mind and bring simple joy and help to unlock that inner happiness Each moment of the festival will be a fully immersive experience giving people the chance to go and escape anything that they are dealing with in real life and come away with some brilliant tools to help them in the future. THere will be workshops in yoga, live podcasts and talks from inspiring individuals plus outlets from exciting wellbeing businesses and joyful food to sample. It sounds like the perfect day to me! But don’t forget that a lot of the way we feel can be directly related to the food that we eat on a daily basis and a lack of exercise. If you are eating a diet high in sugar, bad fats and lots of hidden chemicals in the form of E numbers and other toxic substances, the chances are you are not going to feel great. Over a long period of time, this may have an impact on your health in one way or another. If you never exercise at all, then this will impact you too. THere is so much information out there to help you get back on track. Some people I have met at my clinics simply don’t realise how important it is to feed your body with amazing health -enhancing foods, in order to create better enzymes activity in the body, cleaner blood, better digestion etc. All this with a good exercise regime will seriously have a huge impact on your body and make all the difference to how you feel. THe diet plan that I devised a few weeks ago now is surprising me daily with reports of improvements, not only with the body weight and
shape, but on happiness levels, too. I think because people are getting the results that they want, this is making them feel good, but not only that, they are feeling mentally stronger as well, because of the amount of goodness going into their bodies! It’s incredible that in just seven days you can transform yourself on many levels. So imagine, 14 days, or 21 days! To sign up all you need to do is go to: denisekelly. co.uk and add your details. Until the end of this month the price is only £19.99. THis includes meditation, videos and information for every meal of the day, including smoothies and beverages! You literally can’t go wrong! Sign up and kick start your health this summer…

A RED carpet was rolled out for Felpham Community College students at their prom. THe majority of the year 11 students attended the evening on Friday, June 28, each pupil receiving tremendous support from their parents, siblings, friends and FCC staff. Students pulled up in a variety of cars and other creative forms of transport to tie in with this year's theme - smart and sophisticated. Headteacher, Mark Anstiss, said: “THe prom of 2019 was a fantastic occasion for both staff and students. "It was a brilliant evening, a chance to celebrate the huge amount of work that has been achieved leading up to the exams and during the exams themselves. "THe venue and the students looked fantastic and everyone had a great time. We are now looking forward to celebrating exam results with our year 11 students in August.” Tom James and Tina Peterson, the head of year team, organised the whole event. Students enjoyed dancing, awards and some delicious food in the transformed school hall, capped off with a final balloon drop to bring the evening to a close.

AN INITIAL discussion has been held with the new owner of a shut pub in Aldwick. THe former Ship Inn was sold at the end of June for the second time in a few months to Surplus Property Investments. Roger Beam, who chairs the Friends of the Ship Inn, said: "THe Friends have met with their representative to discuss the possibility of a deal to acquire the freehold so that we can reopen the pub for the local community." As reported, the Friends has also been active in seeking to renew the status of the Aldwick Street building as an asset of community value, pictured below. THe previous rating as an asset of community value ended at the end of last month after five years. Whether or not it is renewed, will be a decision for Arun District Council partly based on the amount of support among residents in the surrounding area. "We have submitted our application for the renewal of the asset of community value," said Mr Beam. "Our two local councillors in Aldwick East and Nick Gibb MP have sent their written support to Arun, along with many local residents." THe Ship Inn opened in the early 19th century but was closed by its then owner, Enterprise Inns (now EI Group) in 2014. THe company sold a 15-year lease to Morrisons but the convenience store on the site was short-lived and it shut in 2017.
DELIGHTED organisers of the Southdowns Folk & Ukulele Festival in Bognor Regis have been awarded £5,000 from a county charity. Funding from the Sussex Community Foundation will support the festival's Making Your Mark ukulele community outreach project. Festival chairman Roger Nash said: "We are really grateful to get this award which will allow us to extend our popular ukulelebased Making Your Mark project over the next 12 months to other areas of south-west Sussex as well as continuing in Bognor Regis. "We have been successfully running the project, pictured below, locally for over a year with good monthly attendances aimed at older people who might otherwise get a bit lonely. "Currently, people who are part of this are practising enthusiastically to take part in the opening afternoon of this year's festival in a special ukulele concert on September 20." Funding will pay for professional music teachers as well as buying ukuleles, project marketing and venue hire. THis year's festival, September 19-23, has 117 performances and events.

By Sylvia Endacott
Postcards are an invaluable window to the past Popularity of postcards is declining but they were once the best form of long distance messages IT'S difficult for us today to imagine the excitement once created by the arrival of small pieces of card, at a time when communication was so much harder than today. No television, no holiday programmes, no regular newspaper, no glossy magazines from which to choose your holiday destination. Just small pictorial cards from which to glean information about other areas. Today, those little pieces of cardboard are in decline. And it is our fault. Two of the major postcard producers have closed down. How often do you take a photo on your phone and email that image to those at home, or even more so, your selfies with the message, ‘wish you were here'? Today, this message is immediate and doesn't arrive ages after you arrive home. We see people around the town with their mobile phones, either speaking, or sending text messages to friends and family. Taking a look online we are able to find out how long the postcard will take to arrive, what size should the card be and even instructions on ‘how to write a postcard.’ How different from the past when the only way of communicating with those left behind was the humble postcard sent to friends, traders or even for shop owners to advise customers of their order status. Nationally, the first postcard was produced
in October, 1869, and it's hard to imagine the numbers that have been sent since. Originall, the cards only allowed for the address on one side and the message on the reverse. Prior to 1894, many of the British postcards were very plain. THey were known as postal stationery cards, and usually had a view depicting exhibitions or advertising. From September, 1872, the private picture postcard was officially permitted and in 1882 the first reply paid postcard was introduced. In a 1900 issue of Girls Realm magazine, there was an article on their perception of the postcard, which began: “I can imagine a future generation building up by their help (the postcard) all the life of today, our children, our pets, our adventuress youth etc. all are to be found thereon.” THe report continued: “THe postcard belongs to a period peopled by a hurried generation which has not many minutes to spare for writing to friends, what with the express trainings, telegrams and telephones the world has become a small place." THe Victorians said: "How absurd it is to write private information on an open piece of cardboard,” and they believed they would never catch on. How wrong they were. Sadly, future generations won't have this ability.
In 1902 there was a competition for the largest postcard collection. The prize offered was £1000, the equivalent of £120, 000 today.
f An early Bognor Regis postcard
f Station Road, Bognor
f Postcard collections were put together in albums
Before the First World War, approximately 2 million postcards were posted daily. In 1902, Edward V’s coronation and the introduction of the postcards with divided backs, allowing not only the address but also a message, encouraged the use of the postcard. It was a regular occurrence to send a postcard home to say "I shall be home on the 5pm train tonight." I have also read of where a wife saw her husband off on the train and sent a postcard to the butcher requesting her afternoon meat delivery. Another favourite remark was, “Here is another one for your collection". In 1902, in a Picture Postcard magazine, there was a competition for the largest postcard collection and the prize offered by Raphael Tuck was £1,000, the equivalent to £120,000 today. THe winner had collected 20,354 in an 18 month period. Bognor had its fair share of postcard photographers and publishers, covering a range of scenes and events. THe range of postcard producers in the 20th century included R. Briant Burgess, Cleeves, King and Wilson, Lawrence Wood, W.P. Marsh, Donald Massey, Webster and Webb and more who produced just a few cards. We should be careful when viewing postcards. One clearly shows a very early view of Bognor dated 1815 – that is the view of course, not when the postcard was produced. Some are titled incorrectly, and I have a number that show areas of the town such as THe Royal Hotel, named as Blake’s Road, Felpham, or another showing London Road purporting it to be Station Road, so local historians beware. A large number of cards were produced to commemorate the visit of King George V during his convalescence in Bognor,
produced to enable the visitor to report home that they had been to see the King, or at least the house in which he stayed. Many of these cards were produced to raise funds. One by Kodak was to devote all the profits to the King Edward Hospital Fund of which King George was a patron. Postcard producers have always dreamed of being in a position to link views and national events to increase their sales and those in Bognor really took the opportunity to do so at this time. Advertising cards also had their place, and E & O Carter, whose shop was situated in the High Street, produced such a card. THe one I have in my collection was typed and sent to a customer with the message:“We are not sure if it is white or light cream No. 3 Star Sylko you require, we have just received light cream 739.” Service from a bygone age! We have also had our share of disasters, with the shipwreck at Aldwick to the numerous high seas and flooding that were recorded onto locally produced cards. Air views of any place are always interesting, and a view of the centre of Bognor clearly shows St John’s church, the Pavilion and Waterloo Square, before the bowling green arrived. THis type of card is invaluable today to the local historian, providing a snapshot of the area at a particular time. THe comic postcards were also well sought out by the holidaymaker, from the point of view of humour, but also because many cards invariably had a small lift up flap from where 10 to 12 fold-up views of their chosen holiday destination would emerge. THese provided more views of their holiday destination and were eagerly awaited by those at home.

Middleton out to end bad run MIDDLETON CC will look to record their first win in three matches as they host struggling Horsham tomorrow (11.30am) in the Sussex Premier Division. Sean Heather's side have fallen off the pace in recent weeks after falling to two successive defeats. THat leaves them fifth in the ten-team division and in danger of being sucked into a relegation fight. Middleton will look to rectify that tomorrow when they welcome Horsham to Sea Lane. While they can boast the likes of Sussex players Stu Whittingham, George Garton and Will Beer as registered players, the visitors have been forced to rely on other players in recent weeks. THat has coincided with only one win from the last five making tomorrow's game even more important. Middleton will look to bounce back from an agonising defeat to East Grinstead last time out. After being put into bat, Heather's side struggled and
were quickly reduced to 13-2. THis eventually became 83-5 as Heather (16), Mason Robinson (25) and Matthew Reynolds (11) were sent packing by the EG bowling attack. But, as has been a running theme this season, Mahesh Rawat came to Middleton's rescue and batted with serene confidence to guide his side to a competitive total. With support from Patrick Colvin (31), the pair put on 86 for the sixth wicket as Rawat closed in on his century. But the Indian was cruelly denied three figures when he was run out for 99. THis stalled Middleton's progress, with a Will Taylor hat-trick ensuring they were bowled out for 224. In reply, the home side timed their pursuit to perfection with Tom Haynes (91) anchoring the innings. Middleton struggled to take wickets to halt the charge and EG reached the score in the 50th over with six wickets to spare.
Priory look to extend streak CHICHESTER Priory Park's minirevival will be put to the test as they head to leaders Hastings & St Leonards tomorrow (12.30pm). THe Division Two side have won their last two in a row, victories which have edged the side away from the relegation zone. Chi will need to be at their best to repeat the trick against Hastings, a side who have not lost in their last five. Matt Geffen's side, who are now sixth, will look to repeat an excellent bowling display against Lindfield last weekend which set up a comfortable victory for the home side. Abhi Raut proved to be the star performer, taking 6-27 from just 13 overs as the visitors were dismissed for just 96. He was backed up by opening bowler Dan Joseph, with 3-30 in 14.3 overs. In reply, Chi edged to the total, navigating a difficult pitch to reach the score with four wickets
in hand. Opener Matt Bennison top scored with 26. Fellow Division Two side Bognor , who are just one place above Chi in the standings, head to Lindfield tomorrow (12.30pm) looking for a similar result. THe Hawthorn Road side defeated Burgess Hill with ease last time out, cruising to a nine wicket win. Bognor had the visitors at a remarkable 28-8 at one point as Joe Ashmore (4-25) and Roy Kaia (3-19) bamboozled the visitors. Burgess Hill eventually rallied to a score of 68, a total which was never going to be enough to defend. In Division THree West, Pagham host Broadwater tomorrow (12.30pm) looking to keep in touch with the league leaders. THe third-place side beat Stirlands by eight wickets last weekend, with opener Jack Stannard scoring an unbeaten 82 in the chase.
f Priory have won their last two matches
Tennis open day is a big hit A SMASHING time was had by all as Aldingbourne Tennis Club recently held a very successful open day. Dozens of people of all ages picked up their racquets and balls at the event at the courts which aimed to give participants a taste of what the sport has to offer. With thanks to sponsorship from Nature Valley Energy Bars, Oaka Books for Dyslexics, JW Sports of Bognor Regis and Game, Set and Match of Chichester, the club signed up 21 new members on the day. Since the event, even more members have been welcomed, much to the delight of everyone involved with the club in Westergate in Chichester. Professional coach, Colin Piper, from Smash Tennis UK, was on hand throughout the day, giving helpful tips and advice on how to continue playing the great game of tennis. THe club, which is based off Olivers Meadow, has vowed to keep up its efforts to encourage people of all ages to try the sport Drop-in and play sessions throughout the week and Smash Tennis UK run junior tennis sessions on Saturday mornings. Representatives will also host a three-day
Sport 37
junior tennis camp during the summer holidays and in September a Cardio-Tennis fitness session will start on Wednesday mornings – open to non-members. THe club also promotes Pickleball – the “fastest growing sport in north America� - which is a mix of tennis, badminton and
table tennis. Pickleball is suitable for all ages and abilities – easy to learn and great fun to play. For more information visit www. aldingbournetennisclub.com or contact club secretary Linda Fromant on 07810 618843.

Well Dunne! Josh beats county rivals in PB time CHICHESTER teen Josh Dunne was the standout performer as the best of Sussex went head-to-head in the under-13 county championships at Withdean Stadium in Brighton. Five athletes from Chi Runners took part in the competition, which featured one of the strongest groups of athletes in recent years. 800m runner Dunne led the way, knocking a whole five seconds from his previous best with a time of 2.20. With a successful season in the National Youth Development League over 800m and the Sussex League over 600m behind him, Dunne used his experience to run a controlled race and was too strong for his rivals to win with two seconds to spare. Also in the middle distance races were twins Laila and Lillie Hellyer, who will still have another year in the age group in 2020. Laila finished a creditable sixth in the 1500m in 5.23.07 while Lillie was seventh in heat one of a very competitive 800m in 2.42. Alice Waterworth was sixth in heat two in 2.51.8 as well as notching up a good long jump mark of 3.56m.
THe fifth Chichester athlete on view was Grace Bishop, who teamed up with Waterworth in the hurdles as well as finishing in ninth place in the high jump. Elsewhere, a squad of just 11 athletes represented Chichester in the second under-15 Sussex League match of the season at the K2 in Crawley. THey did the club proud, to finish third out of the six clubs with only Crawley and Horsham ahead. On the track, new member Josh Miller impressed in both sprints with two second places in 12.8 and 26.3sec for the 100m and 200m. Following his exploits on the track, Miller teamed up with Hugo Martell to form a winning partnership in the shot, throwing 10.43m and 10.31m respectively. Martell continued his fine season in winning the discus by more than four metres with 26.93m and coming a close second in the hammer. For the girls, Chi had a strong throwing contingent, Lulu Millen making a good trio on the discus. Millen also threw well in the javelin with a second place in the A string at 22m, a result matched by Tatum Anwyl in the B squad.
Sportinbrief î ? Triathlon HUNDREDS of budding triathletes came together for one of Chichester's biggest sporting events last weekend. Now in its 13th year, the Chichester Triathlon has evolved from a single race into a weekend-long festival of activity. Young people aged eight to 16 took part in either an aquathlon or triathlon on the Saturday, before adults got their turn on Sunday. A Sprint Distance Triathlon, consisting of a 400-metre pool swim, 33-kilometre bike ride, and a five-kilometre run was also available for those over 16. An Olympic-distance race featuring a 600-metre pool swim, a 42-kilometre bike ride,
and a 10-kilometre run was also on offer. Aquakbike (swim and cycle), aquathlon (swim and run) and duathlon (run, bike and run) were also available. It was organised by Everyone Active, which operates the Westgate Leisure Centre. Ben Polhill, sports development manager at Everyone Active, said: "From first-time competitors to seasoned triathletes, everyone was welcome to what was another fantastic community sporting event. "Even for those not competing, it’s a great atmosphere to be involved in as competitors were cheered on past the finish line."

Sportinbrief î ? Darts IT'S half way through the Bognor Friday Night Summer Darts League season and the Mixed Pairs Knockout took place at the Newtown Social Club. THere was a great turnout, with 34 teams taking part, the same as last year, and a joint record. With three former champion pairs involved, and five other players who have won with other partners, could any of them take the title again? THe second round saw a 180 from Dave Owens (Friary 'Z'). He and partner Paula Duckett (Aldingbourne Mavericks) made it through that match, but the former champions lost in the quarterfinals. Another 180 came from Ian Kewin (Newtown Clubbers) in his quarter-final with partner Hope Webster (Newtown Clubbers), and they made it through to the semi-finals. Kewin & Webster would meet the 2017 runners-up, mother and son paring, Bridget Scott-Ragless & Richard Ragless (Friary 'Z') in the first semi-final, and a good comeback would see them win the match 2-1 and make the final. THe second semi-final would see Tara Mee & Gary English (Cabin) take on the reigning champions, Hayley & Tony Phillips (Hunston Hares). It wasn't meant to be for Mee & English, as the recently married couple made the final for the second year on the trot with a 2-1 win. In the final contest, Kewin won the bullseye to start first in the final, but couldn't get going. Meanwhile, the Phillips's started with 85 and 140 between them. A 95 from Tony left 66 for Hayley, but she missed double top. THey started to struggle, allowing Kewin to hit 92 and 60 from Webster to leave a finish. Kewin then missed his chance at double 4, giving Tony Phillips another shot at double 1 which he hit to take the first leg. THe second leg saw a great start with a ton, 140 and 80 from Tony Phillips, and 65 & 60 from Hayley Phillips. THeir opponents couldn't find form and were way behind. But even a few misses from the Phillips's weren't enough to give Kewin & Webster a shot. A 95 from Kewin left 110, but double 5 from Hayley Phillips took the second leg. and put them into a 2-0 lead. THe third leg saw Kewin start with 95 and later on hit a ton. But a ton from Tony and then two scores in the 80s from Hayley would see them land on the finish first. Hayley stepped up first and missed double 16 for the win. THis gave Kewin a chance, but he fell short and aganisingly he left double 3 on the board. Tony Phillips would step up, and with two darts hit double 4 for the third leg, the match. THe 3-0 win meant the newlyweds retained the Mixed Pairs Champions title.

Too Darn Hot leads Sussex betting THIS year's Qatar Goodwood Festival is shaping up to be another tremendous feast of racing, with a host of proven Group One performers lined up for the five-day spectacular on the South Downs. No fewer than 14 of the 20 horses going forward in the ÂŁ1-million Qatar Sussex Stakes, the mile highlight of the second day on Wednesday, July 31, have already finished first or second at the elite level. Too Darn Hot is the 7/2 favourite, with last year's European champion two-year-old having bounced back to his best for trainer John Gosden. Gosden won the 2014 Qatar Sussex Stakes with Kingman and the Newmarket handler could also be represented by a son of the top miler in King Of Comedy (4/1). A strong three-year-old challenge could also feature G1 Commonwealth Cup victor Advertise (Martyn Meade), G1 Irish 2,000 Guineas scorer Phoenix Of Spain (Charlie Hills) and Skardu (William Haggas). Elsewhere, outstanding stayer Stradivarius is a 5/6 chance to emulate record-breaking Double Trigger by gaining a third victory in the two-mile ÂŁ500,000 G1 Qatar Goodwood
Cup on Tuesday, July 30, following his wins in the 2017 & 2018 renewals. THe John Gosden-trained five-year-old gamely beat Dee Ex Bee (Mark Johnston) to capture a second G1 Gold Cup over half a mile further at Royal Ascot on June 20. Godolphin's Cross Counter, 4/1 secondfavourite, finished a close fourth in the Gold Cup, which was his first attempt at two and a half miles. THe four-year-old is unbeaten in two appearances over two miles - and trainer Charlie Appleby remains confident of his chances of backing up last year's Gordon Stakes win at the Festival in style. He said: "It was a very pleasing run at Royal Ascot. "He travelled into the race well from a position that may have been slightly further back than ideal, but we wanted to ride him that way on his first try over two and a half miles. "We can ride him more aggressively back over two miles, while he broke the course record for a mile and a half at Goodwood in the Gordon Stakes last year, so we know he acts on the course."

Plenty on the plate for Pagham's Paine
f City beat Arundel 2-0 last weekend
Chi all set for new challenge CHICHESTER City are shaping up for their first season at step four in fine fettle after chalking up back-to-back pre-season wins. Miles Rutherford's side will play their football in the Isthmian South East this season after storming to the SCFL Premier crown. Preparations for the new level of football look to be going well as Chi made it three wins from three in pre-season. Last weekend they beat SCFL side Arundel thanks to goals from Callum Overton and Lloyd Rowlatt. THat was followed by a 3-1 victory of Wessex League side Christchurch in midweek. A brace from Josh Clack and Overton's third in three games sealed the victory in what has become the Steve Bernard Memorial Cup, in memory of the young PE student who died after a car accident on the A27 in 2005. Next up for Chi is a trip to Wessex Premier side Fareham Town tomorrow (3pm) before a midweek trip to AFC Portchester on Tuesday (7.45pm).
Chi will be looking to give their players plenty of minutes ahead of their first league match on August 17 away at Ramsgate. Elsewhere, Daren Pearce is making excellent progress with SCFL Division One side Selsey as the Blues look to build on last season's top five finish. Bradley Higgins-Pearce, Oli Hambleton, Ryan Morey, Callum Dowdell and Tom Atkinson are among the players to have re-committed to the club for another season. THey continued their good pre-season preparations with a 1-0 win over AFC Portchester in midweek, Lindon Miller getting the goal. Blues play Havant-based Clanfield tomorrow (3pm) with all eyes focused on their opening match away at league newcomers Roffey on August 3. Fellow SCFL Division Once side Sidlesham, who open their season at home to Oakwood, have made a number of new additions including Tom Jefkins, Tommy Harding and Jonathan Tallent.
NEW Pagham boss Bob Paine looks to have plenty to do as he aims to get the Lions roaring in time for the big kick off. THe former East Preston manager took charge of the Nyetimber Lane side for the first time last weekend at Wessex Premier side Hamble. Despite a 4-1 loss, a side with ten debutants put in a strong performance. And Paine will be looking for more of the same with friendlies against Guildford City at home tomorrow (3pm) before near neighbours Selsey visit on Tuesday (7.30pm). Paine has a number of key dates in the diary as he looks to ready his side for the season ahead. THe past week saw Pagham drawn against Southern Counties East League Division One side Bridon Ropes. THe trip to south London will take place on August 31. Before then, Lions face another trip north, this time to Tunbridge Wells to play the Southern Counties East League Premier side in the extra preliminary round of the FA Cup on August 10. THat match will come after two home matches to kickstart the SCFL Premier
campaign, with a trip to AFC Uckfield on August 3 followed by a home match against Saltdean United on August 6 Paine will have plenty of work to do with the side before then after losing his first match in charge 4-1 away at Hamble. With 10 of the starting 11 making their club debuts, they fought from start to finish and were rewarded at the death with a goal from captain Jack Barnes direct from a free kick. Hamble had taken the lead from a mistake by the otherwise excellent keeper Lewis Boughton scored by man-mountain centreforward Nathan Lynch. THeir lead was doubled just before half time when Lynch burst through the defence to finish with some aplomb. It was 0-3 after 51mins when Jake Newton got up highest to head home a free kick. Pagham then settled down and played some lovely football without getting the luck to pull a goal back. As it was, Lynch bagged his hat-trick after narrowly springing the offside trap. It came during a period of dominance by Lions that culminated in the last-minute consolation strike.

Pearce urges fringe players to take chance
te ne f Action from the Rocks' 2-1 loss to Pompey
BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce is calling on his fringe players to take their chance as the Rocks pre-season preparations progress with pace. A healthy crowd flocked to Nyewood Lane in midweek to see Rocks push League One Portsmouth close in a competitive friendly. After falling behind to goals from Eoin Teggert and Brett Pitman, former Pompey youngster Dan Smith nodded home to give Bognor a consolation. With a number of younger players getting minutes on the pitch, Pearce said he was pleased with how the match went. He said: "It was a good occasion and a good workout for our players who performed to a good standard. "Overall it was an enjoyable game played in good spirit, very competitive and a good workout, meaning both clubs got benefit from it." Next up for the Rocks is a match at Wessex Premier side AFC Horndean on Wednesday (7.45pm). Bognor then round off their pre-season preparations with the Sussex Charity Shield against Chichester City on July 30 at Lancing (7.30pm) before a trip to Gosport on August 2. Pearce said: "I'm pretty happy
with everything, pre-season matches have gone well and while we have a few concerns, the main focus is on getting a fit squad ready for August and the marathon ahead." At both the games against Portsmouth and Havant the previous week, Rocks featured a number of younger players on the bench. Pearce said not all of them would be offered deals for the season ahead - and urged them to seize their chance to shine in the coming weeks. He said: "It's up to them, all we can do is give them the opportunity. "THere is no doubt we will have to skim down to 16 or 17 players for the first team squad. "We have no reserves and they are good players who are too good not to be playing football "What we are trying to do is make completion for places much stronger. "THere will be some noses put out of joint from those who have been very used to being regular picks but there's nothing wrong with that." And what about any new signings? Pearce said: "We are still looking but they will have to be very good as we have some very good players at the club already."
Free season ticket offer for Rocks rookies proves big hit ROOKIE Rocks fans can get their football fix for nothing this season as Bognor offer under 16s free season tickets for the coming season. Hopes are high at Nyewood Lane that the young squad put together by Jack Pearce and Robbie Blake can put together a promotion push. To drum up support for the forthcoming Isthmian Premier campaign, club mascot Rocky Bear took a trip to Aldwick Cricket Club to recruit some fans. Rocky was hit for six by the reaction of the young cricketers as they snapped up a clutch of free season tickets which allows them to see all the action at the Nye Camp for the forthcoming season for no charge. Rocky teamed up with Aldwick CC to launch this season's offer with the help of supporters club chairman Ian Guppy. He said: "THe kids loved it and we've won over a good few fans. We've been running the offer for a few years now and it's proving more and more popular. "Unlike cricket, there are no catches - it's a free season ticket guaranteed to any one under 16 in our area. "We've liaised with schools and other sporting organisations covering boxing, swimming and rugby and we do so simply to encourage children to come and cheer on their local team. "We're excited by the new season ahead with bosses Jack Pearce and Robbie Blake at the helm. "THey have assembled a strong squad and we are confident that we can challenge at
the top of the table so it's worth snaffling a free season ticket and watching the action unfold." Bognor kick off their league season with an away game at Bishop's Stortford on August 10, with the first home game coming on Tuesday, August 13, in a West Sussex derby clash against newly-promoted Horsham. Other ties to look forward to include tasty local clashes with Worthing and Lewes. Guppy added: "Groups of under 10 can
visit us to collect the season tickets and any groups bigger should email rocks1883@ outlook.com and we can arrange delivery or collection." Other season ticket prices: adult - £201, senior citizen (over 65) - £168; under 18s and students with ID - £84. For seating, the prices are adults: £218; and senior citizen (over 65) - £184. THe club office is normally open between 10am and midday weekdays. Call 01243 822325 to avoid a wasted journey.

NYECAMP NEWS by Liam Goodley
WELL that came round quite quickly... It felt like only yesterday that I was down at Folkestone Invicta with fellow Rocks fans for the last game of the season. Now we're back again for another year and raring to go again. THis part of the campaign just seems to get earlier and earlier. And before you know it we've already had two pre-season friendlies. THe match against Havant we may have lost 3-1 but it did give a chance to experiment. At times we lost the ball too early and allowed them to dominate physically, which they have a habit of doing against us. THere were times when we did start to string passes together and it was good to get the goal towards the end. I was particularly impressed by Junior Canada who put the ball in for Tommy Leigh to score. THe second half saw mainly trialists take to the pitch and it was nice to see the players who have been in training over the summer trying to impress Jack and Robbie. By now they are probably looking at narrowing the squad down but I think there are a number there who can add something to the team. Overall, I am quite happy with how the squad is looking. THe biggest surprise was James Crane coming back as I thought he was all set at Worthing. His return is a real bonus for us and, while he has been playing mainly full back positions, I'd like to see him move slightly forward as he is usually good for a goal or two. At the top end of the pitch, things are looking good. Getting Dan Smith on a permanent basis is obviously great. Stu Green is a good addition,
too. He scored over 20 goals from midfield for AFC Totton last season so he knows what it’s all about after playing for us in that run to the semi final of the FA Trophy a few years back. Keeping Jimmy Muitt is great, too, as I thought we would lose him given how many goals he scored last season. THere's also talk about whether Bradley Lethbridge will return on loan from Portsmouth. I saw him at the match in midweek and shouted out to him if he would be coming back. He said he hopes to at some point - so we will have to wait and see. THe only downside are two major injuries at the back with Calvin Davies and Chad Field. No doubt Jack will be on the lookout for someone to come in and cover that position. Despite all of this there were positive signs against League One Portsmouth in midweek. We went 2-0 down but I think, even though we had pretty much an entirely different side in the second half, there was plenty for Robbie and Jack to take from the game. THere was a good crowd in too and the atmosphere from the fans I spoke to is very much of optimism, although they would like to see us sign a defender and midfielder. Normally at this time of year we are short on numbers so it's nice to have the shoe on the other foot. I'm looking forward to how we fare for the rest of the pre-season. I will be going to Horndean, Gosport and the Chichester match and hope we can continue to build as we have a tough first game of the season on August 10 at Bishop's Stortford. If we can get a few more players in and get everyone match fit then we should be in good shape.
