HOUSES are set to be built next to the most historic hotel in Bognor Regis. THe latest plans for three terraced properties to the east of the Royal Norfolk Hotel are due to be backed by councillors next month. THe application for the four-bedroom properties has been recommended for approval by members of Arun District Council's development control committee on September 4. A total of 37 letters of objection were received by Arun, along with a protest by Bognor Regis Town Council. One of the objectors, Louise Downes, of Crawley, told Arun: "I have holidayed in Bognor Regis for about 40 years and I really value the area around the Royal Norfolk Hotel. "THe hotel is a Grade II-listed building in a conservation area. I think it needs its special setting to be able to be seen...as a tourist attraction. "THis area of open space is very important as there has already been so much in-filling." Norfolk Square resident Christine Brown said: "THe erection of these houses would change the character of this area, along with bringing additional traffic to a small area. "THe Royal Norfolk Hotel is a characterful building and I do not believe that the new buildings would reflect this character and, therefore, would be detrimental to the area." Town councillors were concerned about the effect of the houses on the hotel's
setting and the character and appearance of West Street which is within THe Steyne and Waterloo Square conservation area. THe current application by Mr D. Skinner for the hotel's former tennis courts follows six previous schemes. THey have all been refused or withdrawn before a decision could be made. Arun planning officer Simon Davis says in his report to councillors about the current plans: "THere is no in principle objection to residential development on this site within the built- 0up area and it is considered that the proposal complies with development control criteria concerning highway safety, character, residential amenity, flood risk, parking and internal space standards. "THe report does conclude that there will be less than substantial harm to the affected heritage assets. "However, this harm is outweighed by the public benefits associated with the development." Martyn White, the council's conservation officer, says in his statement: "THe terrace would continue development further towards the seafront in a location which does not appear to have had development before. "It could erode the space around the listed building and harm the established character of the area." But he says the benefits of the scheme - given as new family housing, improving an unused piece of land and opening up the hotel site from neighbouring West Street - could outweigh the drawbacks.

BESTSELLING historical author Philippa Gregory has turned the clock back in Pagham for her latest novel. Philippa has imagined the coastal area around Midsummer's Eve 1648 in Tidelands. She is a graduate of Sussex University and said: "I’ve always loved the south coast. As well as my time at the university, I also worked at the Portsmouth News and BBC Solent. I lived in Midhurst for many years." Her latest novel sees England in the grip of a civil war between a renegade king and rebellious Parliament. THe struggle has reached every corner of the kingdom, even to the remote Tidelands - the marshy landscape of the south coast - from which her new book takes its title. Set in Pagham and Selsey, as a map for the frontispiece shows, the story makes use of place names such as Pagham Point, Selsey Common Field, Siddlesham Manor and Pagham Harbour. Its central character, Alinor, arouses suspicions of being a witch - and it is a dangerous time for a woman to be different. She said: "THis book returns me to historical fiction, based in a real period and place but with imaginary people. "It was very liberating to get away from the royal family and royal palaces and into the daily life of aspiring people, hoping to rise from poverty into the New England of political freedoms and
opportunities." Tidelands, which was published on Tuesday, includes one of the many failed attempts to rescue Charles I before his trial. It was the first time that the people of England united to control the power of the English king and is a turning point for the men, and especially the women of England. If the king – the father of the nation – could be challenged, then daughters and wives could speak for themselves Tidelands is also the opening volume in a new series for Philippa. She said the themes which it featured would remain throughout the other books. "At the end of book one, we see our protagonists leave for London, and that is where I pick up their story in book two, but the family’s success and fortune is still governed by the coastal trade," she said. Philippa has written many popular historical novels. THey have included THe Other Boleyn Girl and the Cousins' War books, which were the basis for the successful BBC series, THe White Queen. She lives with her family on a small farm in Yorkshire. Philippa's other great interest is the charity she founded, Gardens for Gambia, in the 1990s. THis provides water for wells in the gardens of rural schools in Gambia. THe vegetables which are grown provide food for the poorest pupils in the schools. THe surplus is sold to buy school equipment.
Labour Party members urge leader to remove government JEREMY CORBYN has been told by his party members in Bognor Regis to bring down the government. THe town's Labour Party branch passed an urgent resolution last week which urged the party leader to table a vote of no confidence as soon as possible after Parliament returns from its summer recess. It also called on him to work with other parties to be able to form a Labour minority administration to repeal the law to withdraw from the EU and potentially seek an indefinite and extended exit day, set a date for an early general election or another European
referendum. Labour member Jan Cosgrove said: "A proposal to delete the referendum part was narrowly defeated on the chairman's casting vote. "THere were those who argued strongly that another referendum would further increase bitterness and division as well as stir racism/xenophobia and that it is the job of MPs to make such decisions." THe meeting, at the Quaker Meeting House in Victoria Drive, was clear Mr Corbyn needed flexibility, he said. It also united behind Mr Corbyn and chose a motion about Brexit for the party's annual conference this autumn.

Pond cameras plan CCTV is to be installed at an Aldwick beauty spot. Four cameras will be sited around Aldwick Duck Pond in the coming months. THe volunteers with the pond's guardian, Aldwick Preservation Society, are nearing their fundraising target of ÂŁ4,000 for the crime prevention measure. Chairman Paul Bignell said the CCTV would be completed by the end of this year at the latest. He said: "It could well be in during September and October. THe cameras will be in four different spots. We want them to act as a deterrent more than anything else." THe society has decided to go ahead with the CCTV after a serious spate of vandalism in the early summer. Mr Bignell said it was the worst set of incidents the society had known. "We had seats smashed up for three weeks running. THe worst week saw three seats smashed up. "You wonder what goes through people's heads when they are doing things like that. "THere was one particular group of kids that has been identified. Some of them have been identified and spoken to by the police," he said. THe damaged seats have been repaired and put back into use. Mr Bignell spoke about the CCTV at the society's latest open day at the Aldwick Road pond last Saturday. Between 50 and 100 people went along to find out about the work of the charity in keeping the area looking attractive. "Today is all about keeping the interest in the pond up. It's about keeping the area in the minds of people and letting new people who have moved into the area know about it. It's a lovely area to visit and it's looking really good at the moment." Six new members joined the society at the open day. Mr Bignell praised the volunteers who spent hours each week maintaining the pond. One of those at the open day was Dave Robinault, of neighbouring Margaret Close. He said: "THis is a nice and quiet area. Every day, I walk through here to buy my paper and speak to the people walking their dogs." THe society was formed in 1977 by residents who wanted to save the old cattle pond next to Aldwick Farm as part of their campaign against plans for a large roundabout at the junction of Hawthorn Road and Aldwick Road.

FANTASTIC acts, face painting and free family fun are set to make Pride's debut in Bognor Regis a success. Organisers of the town and district's first event of its kind have finalised their plans for the inclusive event. THeir initial hopes for a seafront spectacular, backed by Post Newspapers, had to be scrapped because they had been unable to satisfy Arun District Council's public safety requirements. But they have switched their attention to staging a Pride party on the pier in Legends bar. THe aim, however, remains the same - to stage an occasion where individuals may feel accepted to express the person they are without prejudice or persecution. Main event organiser and LGBT+ ally Sarah Boote-Cook said the supporters were determined to put the disappointment behind them. "Pride Bognor Regis was formed to fill a gap for our LGBT+ community in Bognor Regis," she said. "When it became apparent that we were unable to fulfil our aim for the large Pride event we had hoped for this year, we were exceptionally disappointed and by reading comments on social media, so was our town. "Because of this outpouring, and in the spirit of Pride moment, we decided the main Pride day, August 31, will not pass by without recognition.
Soldiers at the Palace Sat 31st Aug - Sun 1st Sept 10am - 4pm

"And so, the idea of Pride Party on the Pier was born, thanks to sponsors the Bognor Regis Post and Chichester Post, and Legends Pier Bar agreed to host the day." THe doors will open at 2pm. THe entertainment will begin an hour later when Cherry Liquor will take to the stage with her family friendly act. THe drag queen will be followed at 5pm by Aura Jay and at 7pm by Danii Dior and guests. A tribute to one of the world's most famous singers, Elton John, will end the entertainment when the Red Piano Tour Tribute features his bestknown songs at 8pm. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun, which will end at 10pm, without any discrimination of age, sexuality, gender or age. Rainbow face art and hair colouring will be available to get everyone in the mood for the special day. THose who go along are encouraged to dress to impress and express. A spokesman said: "Pride is about diversity, inclusion and the respect of expression. "THis is a very diverse community in our lovely seaside town, and it will be great to finally see everyone party together." More details are available at the official Bognor Regis Pride Party on the Pier page on Facebook. Anyone who would like to be involved with the day should contact Sarah on 07933 946537.

` Pagham crash A PERSON had to be cut out of one of two cars which collided in Pagham. Firefighters used hydraulic rescue equipment to rescue the individual after the collision in Pagham Road at 7.05pm on Sunday. It was one of five serious road traffic crashes across the county in 12 hours at the end of last weekend. THe spate of accidents has prompted West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service to remind drivers of the four common causes of road accidents in the UK. THese are inappropriate speed, using a mobile phone, not wearing a seatbelt and drink or drug-driving. Adrian Murphy, the fire and rescue service's area manager, said: "It is so important that people are aware and remind themselves about the 'fatal four'. It's not worth the risk."
` Cycle marking FREE bicycle marking is available in Bognor Regis tomorrow. Sussex Police is offering the free service, which also involves registration, from 10am-4pm outside the railway station. THe police will be joined by the Bognor Bike Community. Its members will be providing a 'Dr Bike' service to check bikes and provide minor repairs. THe Bike Aware event is being promoted by the Bognor Regis Local Action Team of various agencies working together to improve the town for everyone. As reported, cycling commuters at the station are three times more likely to have their bikes stolen than their counterparts at Chichester.

Council turns down change A UNANIMOUS vote to reject a merger has been made by Pagham parish councillors. THey agreed to refuse to take part in a suggested 'reparishing' of the wider Bognor Regis area. THey backed a motion which said they believed the interests of residents in their area was better served by having a parish council of members rather than a larger local authority which served a much bigger population. THey were also angry at the lack of consultation before the idea of the wideranging change was formally issued by Bognor Regis Town Council. Cllr Dawn Salter, the finance committee's chairman, told the parish council's extraordinary meeting on Tuesday: "Why did they not come round and talk to us? Where is the consultation? "THere is none whatsoever. It is a harebrained idea and we are not going to go along with it. THis suggestion will disrupt everything and it's totally insulting. "We have very few complaints. Why would we want to change something which isn't broken? "It's up to the town council to present evidence if they do not believe we are running smoothly." As reported, the formal request for the 'reparishing' came from a recent meeting of the town council's policy and resources meeting. It followed a motion in support of the idea at this year's annual meeting of Bognor Regis electors. It would see all the current parish councils - Aldwick, Bersted, Felpham,
Middleton and Pagham - abolished along with the town council, which has the same legal status, and replaced with a single council. But the idea has been met with outright rejection by the parishes. Pagham council's clerk, Nicola Swann, told its members she had passed on their dissatisfaction to the town council. "THey did not supply us with any notice and there has been no evidence sent to me as to what the benefits might be," she said. She said the parish council had been asked by Arun District Council, which has to look into the 'reparishing' request, for its formal response about the matter. Parish council chairman Peter Atkins said: "I can't see any benefits to Pagham in this. I can only see less representation for us. "Considering we have just had Arun go over our heads and dump houses on us shows local communities need local representatives. "We are having less and less say in what goes on here - and we want more." Cllr Dawn Hall, chairman of the planning committee, said: "Local councillors know the local area and they know what local people want. "It's our duty to listen to residents and for us to do what we can to help them, not be run from Bognor." Cllr Dan Atherton said a bigger council might have more funding for events in Bognor Regis but this would be at the expense of those in the surrounding areas.

New protest about licence
A SENIOR Bognor Regis councillor has complained new licences faced by food businesses could harm the vitality of the town centre. Cllr Matt Stanley, who chairs Arun District Council's Bognor Regis regeneration sub-committee, said he was concerned the need a licence for outside tables and chairs on public highways land would hit profits of independent food companies. As revealed in last week's Bognor Regis Post, the five premises face having to pay £520 a year each for the outside seating for their customers. THe fee is a standard charge regardless of the size of the space and is being imposed by West Sussex County Council. Cllr Stanley has told the county council's leader, Cllr Liz Goldsmith: "Whilst our town centre in Bognor Regis is in a good position compared to the national picture, many of these burglary hasbusinesses have opened recently. THe d distressed.enforcement of this licence fee will put , or has anythese businesses and Bognor Regis town dent, pleasecentre under unnecessary pressure. "I appreciate the economic situation of white, 5ft 8inWest Sussex County Council. However, I rt black haironly feel it fair that you understand the hi-vis jacket,disproportionate impact this decision will have on Bognor Regis over other e, with shortareas, and the potential damage this n his late 20s,could cause the local economy." th tattoos on THe county council has stated the licence is a legal requirement to enable nline: sussex.it to assess the suitability of a site for outdoor seating.
A spokesman said: “Ongoing financial pressures on the council’s budget mean that we do need to charge a fee to process applications and it is for individual businesses to decide if they now wish to pay to position tables and chairs outside their premises. "THe fee covers the costs of undertaking site assessments, legal work in preparing the licences and advertising and ongoing management of the scheme. “Across the country there are lots of examples of different charging mechanisms for tables and chairs with many authorities choosing to apply a flat fee as this is far simpler to administer. “We will be reviewing our charging mechanism for next year in the autumn and at that point we will consider the benefits of a scheme which takes into account the size of the area occupied by the tables and chairs." But Cllr Stanley said the licence could undo the good work by businesses in taking on the challenging economic times. "A key part of any modern high street is the service industry, and in Bognor Regis we have had particular success in establishing a wide variety of quality food and drink outlets. Obviously, due to our climate and proximity to the coast, a great deal of these outlets utilise the option of outdoor seating." T Bone Burger restaurant and Syrup Cafe owner Jordan Angelov said he would only pay for a licence if it was based on the number of tables and chairs.

Top surprise for town VISITORS and residents flocked to the seaside on Wednesday to catch a glimpse of a famous trio. THe Top Gear crew were filming along the prom near the bandstand with three convertible cars. Freddie Flintoff, Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris were all spotted filming for the hit BCC2 TV show. Paddy was driving a red Ford Escort Cabriolet, Chris was in a silver Mercerdes SLK and Freddie had a white Chrysler LeBaron. Former councillor, Pat Dillon was asked to present the three with their next task. He said: "It came put of the blue. I was asked the other day to do something in confidentiality.

Warrior to be recalled INITIAL details of North Bersted's continuing links to the Bersted Warrior have been outlined. THe extremely rare Iron Age man was uncovered during an archaeological dig at what is now the Bersted Park housing estate between Chichester Road and the A259 viaduct. A series of activities is planned to mark the opening of his remains on public display for the first time next January. Bersted parish councillor Wendy Kapp has been involved with the work of the Novium Museum in Chichester to ensure the warrior is remembered around his burial place. She said representatives of the museum had visited the parish council just before its meeting last week. "THe museum is really pleased they managed to get the remains, rather than them being placed in a national museum. THere are four things they are trying to do in this area at the moment," she said. THese include a permanent information board between the Bersted Park Community Centre and the nearby children's playarea, where the warrior

was found. Community days about the warrior would also be held. Two would take place at the community centre and another at Bersted Jubilee Hall, off Chalcraft Lane, possibly next February. Archaeologists would also be giving five lectures about the significance of the remains. One - at Bersted Park Community Centre in Lakeland Avenue - would contain information tailored to the location. THe other four would be held at the Novium Museum with more general facts about the history of the warrior's time around 50BC. A North Bersted focus group was expected to be set up, said Cllr Kapp. Pupils at Bartons Primary School in North Bersted are also set to be involved in a project about the warrior. Students at Chichester's Bishop Luffa School are being involved as well. THe warrior had been buried with a full suite of weapons. THey included a sword in a decorated scabbard and a spear. A bronze helmet with an ornamental head-dress.
asked to turn up on a mobility scooter to give them their next task. "It was very good. THe team were all nice people but sadly I wasn't introduced to the three presenters." In May last year, presenter Matt LeBlanc announced he would be leaving the show after the twenty-sixth series. Six months later, it was announced the appointment of Andrew (Freddie) Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness to join Chris Harris. THe new line-up has received a positive reception compared to the mixed reviews of the previous few series. Although it is not known when the episode will air, hundreds of people turned out to witness the famous trio.

A NEW appeal has been issued by the police for information about a missing Bognor Regis man. Officers believe David Skerrett, pictured above, could be with street or travelling communities in Sussex. David, 63, has not been seen at the flat where he lives alone in Cavendish Road since late June this year. He is described as white, 5ft 9in tall, of thin build, with brown greying hair and is usually clean shaven, though he has a moustache in the photograph issued by police. He wears glasses for reading and may have a blue anorak. A Sussex Police spokesman said: "He often walks between Bognor and Littlehampton, but his disappearance is out of character. Police are keen to hear from anyone who has seen him or knows where he is. "Because he regularly goes for extended walks, police think it possible he may have met up with the street community or travellers in local towns or villages." Any information should be given online: sussex.police.uk or by phone: 101, quoting 960 of 15/07. A previous appeal was issued on July 21.

crime and disorder, public safety, public nuisance and the protection of children from harm. THe proposed policy also sets out Arun's concerns about the impact of all-day drinking on town centres. "Over recent years, problems associated with street drinking have been experienced in town centres and on the promenades in the district," it states. "THese individuals and the shops that supply them can be a focus of anti-social behaviour, disorder and disturbance. "THe supply of alcohol to individuals involved in the day-long consumption of alcohol on the street and in open spaces can directly lead to these groups of drinkers causing various types of crime, public nuisance and anti-social behaviour," it says. Arun has the second highest rate of alcohol-related hospital admissions in West Sussex, behind Worthing, says the planned statement. It adds: "Alcohol misuse has been identified as the dominant lifestyle issue in West Sussex, with levels of high risk drinking amongst younger people and alcohol-related admissions to hospital being growing concerns." THe deadline for comments to Arun about the proposals is August 29.
Exhibition showing addiction through the eyes of a mother A MOTHER is launching an art exhibition tonight sharing her experience of having a son struggling with addiction. Antonia Rolls will be displaying her work through an exhibition at Waltham House, Bognor Regis. THe Brighter the Light display is being launched at a preview tonight and will run through until Wednesday. “During the worst times of his addictions,” Antonia said, “I had to find a way to both witness and survive his pain. “THe pain was not limited to him. I and the rest of our family suffered a
great deal, but nothing could touch the trauma that my son experienced. “Somehow, we have come through and this son has come back to us. Slowly we are all finding our way into the future.” THe paintings are based on what Antonia saw, including the huge part that partying played in her son’s life. Antonia will also be displaying art from Michael Macalister and Marie Paul, two friends who have also overcome addiction. Antonia said: “My aim is to work with other people to tell their stories about addiction so that we can know more about this illness.”

UPDATED rules have been proposed to limit the impact of excessive drinking on Bognor Regis town centre. Arun District Council has published an amended licensing statement. THis document includes how it controls shops selling alcoholic drinks. THe policy, issued under the Licensing Act 2003, says limits could be placed on the hours in which isolated shops can sell alcohol if concerns exist the business is the focus of disorder or antisocial behaviour. "Pre-loading and post-loading, the sale of alcohol to people who consume it on the way to or from venues licensed for the sale of alcohol on the premises, gives rise to problems of drunkenness and disorderly behaviour. "THe proliferation of stores selling alcohol for consumption off the premises is of concern if it leads to drinking on the streets or alcohol being carried into premises such as pubs and nightclubs. "THe licensing authority (Arun) is concerned that alcohol loading from off-licence sales is a significant problem in the town centres of Bognor Regis and Littlehampton and adversely affects the licensing objectives." THese objectives are the prevention of

the old mains voltage display we used to use, and also cheaper to run, so it is a good investment." One of the new displays was set to be installed opposite West Street soon to gauge public reaction, he said. A few would be bought each year unless sponsorship could be obtained. THe 41st illuminations gala will take place this Sunday. THe organisers are hoping for better weather than the heavy rain and gales which wrecked last year's event. THis year's parade is set to match those in the recent past. More walking entries, trailers, bicycles and motorised wheelchairs have made up for fewer floats. THe parade is due to leave West Park at 8.30pm and go along the seafront, Aldwick Road, West Street and Lennox Street and re-join the seafront. Prizes will be awarded opposite the pier around 10.15pm after fireworks from the pier at 10pm. Late entries and volunteers should phone Greg Burt on: 07739 506275.

Crowds back Pagham's day A UNIQUE motorcycle sparkled in the sun at a popular Pagham event. THe 1964 BSA 250 Star Racer is the only one of its kind and was on show at Pagham on Parade for the first time. Owner Jason Pierce, of Felpham, said he had owned the motorbike for about eight years. THe bike was adapted from a Star commuter bike to the original owner's specification. "Unfortunately, it's not very comfortable to ride. It's a looker and not a rider. It's hard on the wrists, hard on the back and the suspension is crippling. "It will get you from A to B as long as they are close together." THe bikes were known as cafe racers because groups of owners would ride them from cafe to cafe, such as the wellknown Ace Cafe in London, in the 50s and 60s. "A lot of people have come up to me and said they owned a BSA but it didn't look anything like this. "THe basic bike was a commuter bike which sold in the
thousands and thousands but these conversions were unique." A total of nine motorcycles and some 100 classic cars were put on display by their proud owners at Sunday's event. THe vehicles included a 1954 MG FT, a 1927 Morris Light Van and a Morris 1000 Traveller from 1970. Shripney resident Tony Smith kept up his record of taking part for some ten years. He put his 1959 Jaguar K150 on display. He said: "THis is a good event. It's local, it's friendly and you meet a lot of people. Some of them you see year after year." A mid-morning downpour threatened to put a dampener on the occasion's 14th staging but the clouds cleared before the opening. Organising committee member Phil Higson said several thousand people had visited the event at Pagham Village Hall in Pagham Road. "THere are probably a few less vehicles this year but more people here. So, it's

been a very good day. "We did think about stopping when the former parish council chairman, Ray Radmall, died this year but we decided to go ahead in his memory as much as anything else," he said. "I'm glad we did because so many people have come along and enjoyed themselves and it's been a lovely atmosphere." He hoped the event would better the several thousand pounds raised last year for charities in the area. As well as the static displays, the arena buzzed with action all day. Line dancers, Morris dancers and pop music kept the crowds entertained. A fitting tribute to Mr Radmall was paid by the Rev Colin Wood in memory of his tireless work for Pagham on Parade. A range of indoor and outdoor stalls also provided information about a host of good causes like the RNLI and the Scouts.

Julie Walters joins women's centre to celebrate five years since opening By Lotte Pegler lotte.pegler@sussexpost.co.uk A SPECIAL guest joined volunteers and staff at My Sisters’ House in Bognor Regis as they celebrated their recent expansion. Actress and writer Julie Walters attended the women’s centre to mark five years since its opening. Julie Walters said: “I’m a woman, I’m a human being. People being oppressed and abused, particularly women who are even more vulnerable because of children as well, it’s a terrible thought to me. “I can’t imagine anything worse than being trapped in an abusive situation. "I think it’s really impressive hearing the survivors' stories and how vital and wonderful the work is that they’re doing." My Sisters’ House is a grassroots organisation set up in August, 2014, by a group of local women. THeir first drop-in took place in May, 2015. THe organisation has 17 members of staff and 32 active volunteers, between them providing 150 hours per week. THey aim to help vulnerable women, whether it be women with histories of physical or emotional abuse, or women suffering with loss. “THe hardest thing is walking through the door,” Julie Walters continued. “Once you're there, there will be a warm strong supportive non-judgmental team. "It will change your life. It will make you love yourself again.” Julie praised the work of the volunteers
and staff at My Sisters’ House who have supported more than 880 women since opening in 2015. THe centre provides advice, support, training and workshops, for all women. As well as general services, they also have a Stronger Futures department which focusses on women who are living with, or recovering from, domestic abuse. THeir Step Forward programme is aimed at increasing employability through mentoring and support. Julie Budge, founder of the organisation, originally came up with the idea as she sat around her kitchen table. She wanted to finally provide a women’s refuge in West Sussex. My Sister’s House continues to be the only one. Julie Budge said: “Just think about the fact that we have supported 880 women. "THink about the life-changing impact we had on those women. “We’re not just talking about a little bit of advice or a little bit of information. We’re talking about life-changing stuff. “We have achieved that from an amazing team. THe staff, past and present that have been involved have all impacted in their own way. “As many of you know, we have been on a roller coaster ride. "We’ve moved five times, we’ve been in four different properties last year. We’ve had a lot of tears, a lot of trauma, but also had some delightful moments. “THe women who are coming through the door bring us joy all the time. “It takes so much courage to come
through the door yet when we start working with them they bring positivity. "It’s amazing how much resilience women have so that’s a good thing.” My Sisters’ House recently expanded their premises from the original building in London Road to the adjoining one next door. THanks to the addition of the much larger premises and the second floor, the centre has been able to expand just as the wanted. “We took the keys on the 12th of June. Since then, we have spent £10,000 on refurbishments. We’ve done it ourself and it has been hard but we wanted it to be accessible for all, hence the ramp.” “Obviously when we get things like the from the National Lottery Community Fund, we got £38,000, and then this building coming up a couple of months later, it’s brilliant stuff. “But that comes with all the things like limited resources and space. We had to live with that and it has been challenging. No private counselling rooms meant ladies didn’t know where to go. “It has been a hard year but moving in here is a big moment. We’re really honoured to have Julie Walters here to celebrate. “It was a lovely reward for staff who have worked so hard over the past five years to get to this point. It was a treat to have such an acclaimed actress here. She was so the right person to come and help open. It was a very, very special day."

Business group seeking action IMPROVING the safety of North Bersted shop users is a priority of a new group. THe Bersted Shops Business Forum Group has been set up by new parish councillor Rob Outen. He said he was hopeful its first success would be to replace a concrete bollard. THis had been installed outside Royals fish and chips bar in Royal Parade. It stopped motorists being able to take a short cut between the junctions of Central Avenue and Chichester Road by using the layby for the businesses. But it has been missing for some time. Cllr Outen told his fellow councillors business owners were concerned this could lead to a serious accident. "THis means that cars are mounting the pavement, driving over the corner to get to the other side of the road. "One car has hit the shop front and there are elderly people and young people walking around there to the shops and from the schools," he said. He had met the area's district councillors, Martin Lury and Gill Yeates, who had agreed the problem needed to be tackled. West Sussex county councillor David Edwards had also visited the site and backed the case. It had been referred to the council's highways officers for action. "Everyone at the county council agrees that there's a problem there that needs to be fixed," Cllr Outen told this month's Bersted Parish Council meeting. THe response to the situation had pleased those with businesses in the

parade, which was built in 1932. "THey are delighted that the matter is moving forward, though I don't know at what speed yet," Cllr Outen said. "It is a health and safety problem and it is going to be addressed." Cllr Outen, who joined the council last May, told the meeting he believed the forum would help to support traders who provided a valuable service to the area's residents. "I spoke to the 11 or 12 shopkeepers there and they are quite keen on the forum. THey thought it was long overdue. No-one has had the opportunity to pull everyone together. I took it upon myself to look into that. THat is where we are." Another of the businesses' top concerns was anti-social behaviour and drug-taking around the parade. Cllr Outen is making enquiries to find the owner of the land where much of the alleged activity takes place to find out if it can be made secure. In all, the firms' owners came up with eight points of general concern they would like the forum to tackle, he said. A social media group to connect the businesses has been set up. His suggestion the forum would meet four times a year at the council's Bersted Jubilee Hall was backed by fellow parish councillors. THe date of the first meeting has yet to be agreed. Cllr Outen will be one of the forum's members, along with the parish council's chairman, Cllr Brian Knight. District councillors Yeates and Lury will also be members.

A new launch in Bognor Regis gives everyone the chance to have a traditional taste of Turkey
ADORNED with ornate Turkish decorations the newly extended Charcoal Grill Meze and Bar is undoubtedly as Turkish as it gets. Priding themselves on their genuine decorations and traditional dishes, it is the latest trendy place to go in Bognor. At first glance, it looks like any other kebab shop but inside is a restaurant with character, good food and friendly staff ready to cater for your every need. While I’m sure many locals know of the Bognor Charcoal Grill as the takeaway opposite the station, this year owner Orhan Gundogeu decided to expand into the premises next door. THis expansion provided them with the opportunity to open up a more formal restaurant. THey combine all the elements of a traditional Turkish kitchen, with an extensive menu including a variety of both hot and cold meze platters, as well as kebabs and
vegetarian dishes. Orhan said: “After having an amazing journey to success, we wanted to offer more food from our culture and did this by converting into a restaurant. “It’s designed in a way to give that contemporary look as well as still having the underlying Turkish background running throughout. “We have a wide range of amazing dishes and there is something for everyone. "From salads to soups, kebabs to desserts - you name it. We have the best and most iconic dishes from Turkey. As well as expanding in the restaurant side of things, they now also have a bar, fully stocked and ready for the perfect drink to accompany your meal. THe building was spotlessly clean and filled with balloons and music ready for their official opening on Tuesday. Orhan made it clear that when opening the restaurant their first priority was ensuring that it is as authentic as it can be. He said: “THis is proper authentic food. When you eat here you feel like you are Turkish. Everything is Turkish, everything is made there and bought over. My designer was back home and had everything made and designed in that genuine style.” Even the toilet is like no-other, black tiled flooring and sink combined with an eyecatching gold sink makes even your breaks from the table feel luxurious. From floor to ceiling, kitchen to toilet, the whole venue is decorated with Turkish furnishings. Even the chairs and tables are imported from overseas. Window scenes of Istanbul cover the walls,
meaning you can enjoy your meals while having views of the iconic Galata Kulesi tower, or overlook Kiz Kulesi, the Maiden's Tower. Turkish tea is the perfect finish to your meal, particularly when accompanied by some traditional Turkish delight. THe golden tea is poured into a small glass and served in a Turkish tea cup, traditional of course. Orhan said: “I thought it would be nice to have something new for Bognor Regis. "We already have a good takeaway and something new for the area with good food and good service is just what we need “It is an authentic Turkish restaurant with professional chefs, they’re the best. We've been running for seven years next door in the kebab shop. THis building was an Indian takeaway but unfortunately they couldn't run it anymore and closed. "We took over and grabbed the opportunity to open the new restaurant. It was perfect timing and a perfect opportunity." Orhan focused on perfecting a quintessential Turkish kitchen. “It was and still is, a family owned business,” he said. “We aim to bring the best of Turkey to Bognor. “We want our customer to experience and discover the true flavours of the Turkish cuisine. Always keeping quality and consistency at the top of the list. “THis approach made us do amazing things. It has allowed us to grow quickly and now expand. In a short space of time, we became one of the best places to eat within the area." His team consists of family members and friends, all of them fully trained professionals.

Ormiston students' determination pays off By Lotte Pegler lotte.pegler@sussexpost.co.uk “I KNOW people will ignore this but it really is important to start revising as early as you can.” THat’s student Cara Neale’s advice for students beginning their GCSE journey. THe year 11 pupil from Ormiston Six Villages Academy joined her class mates in celebrating an impressive set of GCSE results yesterday. Achieving grades 5-7 in all her subjects, Cara said: “I’ve never passed geography so I didn’t have high hopes. "I’m so pleased because I ended up getting a grade 5, really I expected a grade 3 at most! “I did a lot of online revision, lots of quizzes that I repeated and went over again and again. Performances at the academy in

Ceremony recalls Far East prisoners A DEDICATED group of people from
ona Hart Bognor Regis and Chichester have paid
tribute to their wartime prisoner fathers. THe handful of relatives gathered at St Mary's Church in Felpham to mark the day the PoWs' suffering ended after three-and-a-half years in the Far East. THey took part in a ceremony led by the church's vicar, Father John Challis, to commemorate the anniversary of the end of the Second World War on August 15, 1945. THe date last THursday was important to them because it marks the real finish to the atrocities and degradation they had suffered. One of those present, Jill Robertson, the West Sussex co-orindator of the Children of Far Eastern Prisoners of War (CoFEPOW), said: "We listened with silent mutual understanding of what our fathers went through as Mr Challis recited the exhortation after a minute's silence: 'THey shall not grow old, as we

who are left grow old...we will remember them'. "A wreath and crosses were laid at the Royal British Legion field of remembrance plot, just inside the lychgate of the church, for the public to visit." THe event was organised by fellow CoFEPOW member Christine Beer-Hall. Also present were Linda Martin, Jean Gillings, Far East PoW expert Frank Clark and Mary Boswell. THey were joined by their supportive partners. THeir wreath stated they were keeping alive the memory of their fathers, grandfathers and uncles 'who were slaves to the Japanese Imperial Army'. "We must never forget the suffering they endured for three-and-a-half years at such a young age," the tribute continued. THe relatives they remembered were Driver Stanley Moore, Driver William (Nobby) Hall, Private Arthur Peddie, Sergeant Percy Hagmaier, Gunner Victor Clark, Private Norman Whittaker, Gunner Lawrence Bilham and Claude Humphreys, of the RAF. THe men were enrolled all over the country, in different brigades, and would have had no idea their children would be gathered 74 years later honouring their memories. Mrs Robertson said CoFEPOW was determined to keep endeavouring to have a national remembrance day designated each August 15 on the men's behalf to ensure it gains equal prominence in the national calendar to VE Day three months earlier. THe government overlooked the Far East campaign in the early war years because it was a failure for the Allies. "THe enemy forces took over 80,000 prisoners on February 2, 1942," she said.

Ed's in a good place, thanks to his musical 'gift' MUSIC has "given me a chance in life", says Ed Goodale, who has made no secret of having Asperger's syndrome, which he describes as a 'gift'. Midhurst-based Ed's love of music and performance helped him to understand his condition and he interprets his view of life through his songs with thought-provoking lyrics and catchy riffs and melodies. With brother Ollie on percussion, Ed has played extensively at gigs and festivals throughout the UK and Europe since 2011. He launched his third recording and first live album, 'THe Gift', at Glastonbury Festival 2017 with a set on the famous festival’s Strummerville Stage.‘THe Gift’ album is Ed and Ollie's set recorded at the biannual Marillion Weekend in Holland in March 2017. Looking at where to take their careers after that busy period as an acoustic duo, Ed and Ollie, plus their dad, Simon, who is their manager, felt a bigger sound
was needed. THey were joined by guitar virtuoso and Ed’s mentor, Steve Ball, and bass player Steve Burrell who both were up for the challenge of something new. Ed has been a long-time supporter of THe National Autistic Society and gave half of the proceeds from his first single, ‘Symptoms’, to the charity and has acted as an ambassador for the charity at many high profile events. Ed said: "It took a while for me and my family to find out I was on the spectrum and it was tough when I was young; music has given me a chance in life." West Sussex fans and anyone interested in hearing what's special about the band's genre-busting folkrock have three chances in the coming weeks. First up, tomorrow (Saturday) is Live at Langhams, beer and music festival at Langhams Brewery, THe Granary, Langham Lane, Lodsworth, where the Ed Goodale Band will top the bill with Fate the Juggler.
Food will be available, including a hog roast, plus, of course, a well-stocked bar and children's games during the free entry, all-day event from 1pm to 11pm. Collections will be made for THe South Downs National Park's Bee-Line Project. Bringing a festival vibe to the Weald and Downland Living Museum at Singleton, three bands will be playing outdoors on Friday, August 30, from 7-11pm. THey are THe Mantic Muddlers, Silver THreads and Fate the Juggler. THe following evening, Saturday, August 31, THe Ed Goodale Band will close the Summer Session at the museum after sets by Brogue and Southerlies.

Inspiring young people with message of unity and optimism Crossing Lines Chichester Festival Youth THeatre Review by Alicia Denny Until August 24, 7.30pm Tickets: cft.org.uk Watching young people put every ounce of passion, inspiration and commitment into a theatrical performance is always uplifting for their audience and Crossing Lines is no exception. THis outdoor promenade production around five venues in central Chichester has been specially written by Anna Ledwich, following a concept developed by six young staff members at Chichester Festival THeatre. With its innovative audio production whereby each member of the 150-strong audience was issued with headphones to clearly hear the Companions as they
were conducted around the locations in three groups, this was a good way to follow the story and be more involved with the characters as they imbued a sense of urgency while urging the spectators who were "escaping from the city" to stay together and look out for spies. It was somewhat difficult to suspend reality while strolling in the precinct between the closed shops of East Street and being asked by an earnest teenager if "a spy had looked in your eyes" as an innocent middle-aged man walked past the group in the opposite direction. Depending on which of the three groups they were allocated, members of the audience visited the venues in a different order, having started together on the Cathedral Green with Chichester citizens saying farewell to those going off to war in 1914 and 1939. Axel, the leader of the modern forces of Albion - an excellent performance by Tom Lunn - was also introduced and the nine resistance fighters who became the 2019 Companions. THe talents of these Companions, who all had
names linked to communication, such as Sony and Tesla, in reflection of one of the themes of the play, were matched by other members of the cast who may have had less to say but whose acting was equally effective. Moving on to Pallant House, a group represented European refugees from the First World War being greeted in Chichester then, at THe Novium Museum, a scene showed Britons and Jews sheltering together from an air raid during the Second World War. THe Cathedral Cloisters hosted another scene from the Second World War and a relationship between a British boy and a German prisoner of war before the audience was led into the Bishop's Palace Gardens for the finale as darkness fell. THere, in a garish funfair setting with Axel centre stage in the denoument of the resistance fighters, the 47-strong cast came together in a colourful, musical finale where the combined efforts of the young people forced the downfall of Albion and, amid a message of optimism and togetherness, sent the audience out of the gardens with food for thought.

Angel Has Fallen
Action, Drama, Thriller Screened at Picturedrome Cinema HAVING already saved Olympus and London from falling, Gerard Butler returns to his role as secret service agent Mike Banning in the third film in the trilogy where, this time, he must save himself. When there is an assassination attempt on U.S. president Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman), Banning, his trusted confidant, is wrongfully accused and taken into custody. After escaping from capture, he becomes a man on the run and must evade his own agency and outsmart the FBI in order to find the real threat to the President. Desperate to uncover the truth, Banning turns to unlikely allies to help clear his name, keep his family from harm, and save the country from imminent danger. In 2013’s Olympus Has Fallen, Banning thwarted a terrorist mastermind from capturing the White House, then in the 2016 sequel London Has Fallen he prevented an assassination plot to kill all of the world leaders attending the Prime Minister’s funeral, now the third film sees Banning himself become the target of a set up from a new assailant. The explosive third film in the series sees Morgan Freeman return to his role as U.S. president Allan Trumbull and also co-stars Jada Pinkett Smith, Piper Perabo, and Nick Nolte as Banning’s estranged father.
with her parents, nothing could prepare Dora for her most dangerous adventure ever - high school. Always the explorer, Dora quickly finds herself leading Boots (her best friend, a monkey), Diego, a mysterious jungle inhabitant, and a ragtag group of teens on a live-action adventure to save her parents and solve the impossible mystery behind a lost city of gold. Transformers: The Last Knight’s Isabela Moner steps into the titular role of Dora, joining such Hollywood heavyweights as Michael Peña and Eva Longoria as Dora’s parents, and Benicio Del Toro and Danny Trejo who lend their voices to Swiper the fox and Boots the monkey respectively. This cements the movie as a more family-orientated adventure as opposed to the younger-skewing fare of the classic TV show, following Dora on her journey to rescue her parents and uncover the Lost City Of Gold. Expect familiar call-backs to fan-favourite characters and lines from the original Nickelodeon show, but for the most part, Dora And The Lost City Of Gold represents a stark leap forward for the series’ future.

stuntman Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) as they seek to reclaim the spotlight of yesteryear by any means possible. With a trailer promising a slick, seedy, and hyper-stylish tour of La La Land’s brightest stages and darkest passages, expect a typically Tarantino-esque approach to storytelling. The director has hinted at an interweaving series of plotlines, mirroring the narrative juggling of his iconic 1994 release, Pulp Fiction. Despite both its leads previously working with Tarantino, the picture marks the first time that DiCaprio and Pitt have shared the screen. They’re joined by a stellar lineup of A-listers including Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, James Marsden, Tim Roth, and Kurt Russell. With a jaw-dropping cast and one of the world’s most iconic locations and evocative eras to draw upon, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has all the wonderfully bewildering and chaotic ingredients to become an instant classic.

Bognor Regis Pride Cancelled? Think again… PRIDE will go ahead on Saturday, August 31, as organisers refuse to be put back in the closet and take an alternative approach to the original plans. In two weeks' time, Bognor Regis will make history as it hosts its first ever free Pride Party at the Legends Pier. THis will also be the first time any family event has been held within the Arun district which aims to help promote, support and celebrate diverse LGBTQ+ community, their families, friends and their allies. Following a social media outcry at the recent cancellation of Bognor Regis Pride, published three weeks ago, the main event organiser and LGBT+ ally, Sarah Boote-Coote, remained driven to help provide a free event where individuals may feel accepted to express the person they are without prejudice or persecution.
“Pride, Bognor Regis was formed to fill the gap for our LGBT+ community in Bognor Regis. When it became apparent that we were unable to fulfil our aim for the large Pride event we had hoped for this year, we were exceptionally disappointed and by reading comments on social media, so was our town. "Because of this outpouring and in the spirit of the Pride moment, we decided the main Pride day, August 31, will not pass by without recognition. "THe idea of a Pride Party on the Pier was born thanks to sponsors, Bognor Regis & Chichester Post Newspapers and Legends Pier Bar agreed to host the day at their family sports and entertainment." THis is a free family event where absolutely everyone is welcome without any discrimination of age, sexuality, gender or age (however alcohol is still adults). Pride is about diversity, inclusion and the respect of expression. THere is a very diverse community in our lovely seaside town, and it will be great to finally see everyone party together. THere are some fantastic acts to enjoy, all free, plus rainbow face art and hair colouring to really get everyone into the mood of the day. Feel free to dress to express and impress. Pride Party on the Pier will be a fantastic event for Bognor Regis, and organisers can wait to welcome you all at Legends between 2pm and 10pm on August 31. THrough my Pride planning journey I realise there is very little in our town and almost nothing across the Arun district, for our LGBT community. THis certainly gave Pride, Bognor Regis, food for thought. Earlier this year, we successfully secured a £10,000 lottery grant for the
planned large two-day pride event which, despite its cancellation, proved that we were ticking the boxes and fulfilling criteria. Due to the issues we encountered the lottery grant needed to be returned. However, we expressed our concerns re the lack of facilities our LGBT+ community has in Bognor Regis and requested that the Lottery considered a grant to help us address those issues. We are also delighted to be able to tell you that we have been successful in our bid and have received a 5k grant from the Lottery to build our website and establish a monthly event at different venues around our town. THe aim will be to provide our LGBT+ community group for social events and more. Our goal during this event will be to try to start raising the money required for Pride 2020 and funds to help start addressing the social isolation issues, allowing our LGBT+ community group to find peer support and generally have fun. We hope our future LGBT +events will start in September and every month thereafter leading up to our Pride event next summer. We are so excited to have achieved all this in such a short space of time despite having a few disappointments along the way. Pride, Bognor Regis, Post Newspapers and Legends Pier bar, and all those who have helped so far, are proud indeed! Want to know more?

Q Hair and Beauty 37 North St, Chichester PO19 1LX Tel: 01243 781585 www.qhairandbeauty.co.uk WHEN brides are planning their wedding, apart from finding the perfect gown, one of the most important elements is making sure their hair will be their crowning glory on the big day. Having complete confidence in knowing their hair will be styled to perfection and their make-up looking fabulous, and that all the arrangements for this will be handled smoothly for them, takes away any potential stress. Looking ahead and making plans well in advance ensures it can all be achieved - and there’s no-one better placed to make it happen than Lewis Albon, the business development executive at Q Hair and Beauty, Chichester’s multiaward-winning salon. Formerly a butler at the Goodwood Estate, Lewis has a wealth of experience in catering for the needs of the rich and famous, including royalty, and he takes enormous pride and personal satisfaction in ensuring brides who put their trust in Q will look and feel fabulous on their wedding day. “I take great pride in building up a personal relationship with every one of our guests at Q who deserve exceptional service and allow me to take away any

totally at ease.” Although planning well in advance is the ideal, Lewis and Team Q can step in at the last moment when the occasion requires. “We can be very accommodating when something urgent crops up,” Lewis says. “Just recently we looked after large wedding parties in three different locations at just six weeks’ notice. THere was even one with just a week’s notice when someone had been let down at the last moment.
“Being involved with a wedding is something we all love here at Q and we will do our absolute utmost to make sure it is a wonderful day to remember for the bride. I want them to know they can put complete trust and confidence in me and our team - I give them my personal contact number so that if they have a little panic, they can reach out to me at any time, day or night. “It’s a tremendous privilege to be part of the most important day of someone’s life and we will never let them down.”

strain by organising everything for them,” Lewis says. “THe key is in understanding what each bride hopes to achieve and putting everything in place for them. I like to be the only person they deal with in making all the arrangements, so I get to know the guest and what they are aiming for.” For many brides, forward planning with Q begins 12 months in advance, when they have their initial meeting with Lewis in the lovely, relaxed setting of Q’s beautiful townhouse on North Street. “At that stage I take all the details that are applicable, find out if it will be just the bride or other members of the bridal party such as the bridesmaids, work out the timings,” Lewis says. “Depending on the style the bride wants, I will look at which stylist best suits the requirements and check they will be available on the day. If the bride is one of our regular guests, they will have the hairdresser who usually looks after their hair and understands it. “We always recommend a trial, a 90-minute appointment with the stylist the bride will be seeing on the wedding day. In fact, the bride can have as many trials as she wishes to make sure she is going to have the perfect style. It’s important that everyone knows what they are doing on the day. We can also take into account the head-dress brides will be wearing - a veil, a tiara, a crown of flowers - whatever the bride wants, we
will do everything possible to achieve it. “If the bride wants her make-up done, we use only Clarins products and they give the lovely natural look which most people want on their wedding day.” Q offers a wide range of bridal packages, both in-salon and on location at the bride’s home, at the hotel they may be staying in or at the wedding venue. "We’ve seen a huge surge in the number of people wanting our team of stylists and beauty therapists to go out on location,” says Lewis. “Last year we looked after between 80 and 90 in-house wedding parties, but this year there has been only one - all the others have been at a location chosen by the bride. “Because we have three salons Midhurst and Donnington as well as Chichester - we have enough stylists and beauty therapists to cope with the largest bridal party or several weddings in one day. In fact, just recently, we had three big weddings on one day and it went completely smoothly for all of them. Sometimes the team for one location will include four stylists and one or more beauty therapists. “We have an amazing choice of bridal packages and for those who choose inhouse, they have the exclusive use of our courtyard salon and garden where they can relax in privacy and enjoy Prosecco and delicious fresh pastries. THat’s ideal for a larger bridal party as everything is done in that area and everyone can be

Looking after yourself. What does it really mean? By Antonia Rolls - Artist, Reiki Master and Soul Midwife Antonia Rolls www.antoniarolls.co.uk agd@antoniarolls.co.uk soulmidwife@antoniarolls.co.uk 07787 754123 LOOK after yourself, we are told, be kind to yourself. Very good advice, sounds wonderful, but I wonder what does it really mean? When our energy is low, we feel tired and defeated. Yes, I think when someone tells me to Look after Yourself, but how? Be kind to myself - do I eat more chocolates? Order another 15 useless items online to cheer me up?
Well, yes, if these things make you feel better, and that is partly the point. When we feel down, worried, sad, it’s very hard to look after ourselves, let alone anyone else. Cheering ourselves up with chocolates may work, but only temporarily. Looking after yourself means paying attention to what your body and mind is telling you and allowing yourself to stop. We want quick results, to feel better as soon as possible, but sometimes, we have to sit with whatever is bothering us, pay attention to it and stop trying to avoid it. Imagine a friend has a problem and comes to you for support. You rush around your friend, making tea, producing cakes, talking all the time about how you care and giving advice. Your friend may enjoy the cake, listen to all you say and go away again only to feel worse than before because all they really needed, was for you to stop, pay attention and listen. It is the same with listening to ourselves. Self care is about paying attention and finding small (or big!) ways to do something lovely just for yourself. THree ways to look after yourself 1. Stop, sit quietly, even if it is only for ten minutes. 2. Find something, or someone, to make you laugh. 3. Try a Reiki energy healing treatment. Reiki is so gentle, a powerful and relaxing form of energy healing. A Japanese technique, it harnesses the universal life force all around us, and
channels it through the palms of the hands to promote stress relief, relaxation, and balance. As a Reiki Master, I have seen the wonderful effects of this powerful energetic healing on physical, spiritual, emotional and mental wellbeing. Rei means God’s wisdom, and Ki is the energy life force, also known as Chi.
Reiki works alongside all other treatments and, as it channels the universal life force, it can do no harm. It is a hands-on treatment and you remain fully clothed, either lying on a treatment couch or sitting comfortably in a chair. If you don’t want hands-on, I can practise Reiki with my hands away from the body. I receive energetic feedback during
sessions, and discuss this afterwards with you, as it is always helpful and fascinating. First session is 120 minutes at £90 and subsequent sessions are 90 minutes at £45. I am Bognor Regis-based, so do call me, and treat yourself to some gentle, kind, energetic healing. Www.antoniarolls.co.uk Artist,Soul Reiki Master, Soul Midwife - 07787 754123.
Get on the road to fitness with established bicycle business Kampos Cycles Facebook @ KamposCycles 01243 849097 SUMMER is the ideal time to start cycling or return to the fitness, fun, fresh air and freedom which is being on a bicycle. According to NHS England, whether you're cycling to work, to school, to the shops or just for fun, the humble bicycle is an easy way to get more active. For short journeys, any good working bike will do. You might have an old 10-speed racer, a shopping bike or a bargain mountain bike that you could use. If you're buying a secondhand bike or you have an old bike that's been gathering dust, consider having it serviced at a bike shop to ensure it's roadworthy. If you're buying a new bike, there are lots of models to choose from. Hybrids, road bikes and mountain bikes are most popular. A bike shop can advise you on the correct frame size and help you select a bike to suit your budget and the type of cycling you want to do. Find out if your workplace operates a cycle to work scheme. THis is a more affordable way of buying a new bike and safety equipment. For most people, cycling is a safe and effective form of exercise. If you have any health concerns or an existing medical problem, see your GP before you start. For health benefits, adults and older adults should do at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderateintensity activity each week. Children and young people should do at least an hour of moderate to vigorous intensity activity every day. For help on returning to bike riding, having an old bicycle serviced or upgrading to the latest model, it's wise to seek specialist advice such as from Kampos Cycles where the extended showroom, still in London Road, Bognor Regis, close to the former site of the business, offers sales of new and used bicycles in a range of styles to suit varied needs plus comprehensive servicing, repairs and accessories. Whether you want to pop to the shops, go for a marathon ride on the downs and everything inbetween, the experienced and friendly staff at Kampos will help to get you on the road to fitness and independence.

THERE is so much in the news right now about obesity, and being overweight. It highlights constantly how damaging this is for your health, and how it increases your risk of cancer and heart disease. While I agree with this on many levels, in my clinics I see it all. Lean, skinny, overweight, tall, short, athletic, KU CU KORQTVCPV CU [QWT ⇔VPGUU sedentary and sometimes I am surprised MOTs every by mythree findings.months to create I have overweight clients who run OG VJCV YQTMU HQT [QW s RNWU QPUKVG marathons, and when tested on my CN VTCKPGTU VQ UWRRQTV [QW CNN VJG YC[ machine, they have a healthy reading without many deficiencies. On the other hand, I have lean looking clients who can barely get out of bed and have toxins and deficiencies coming out their ears. FKQU I am not saying this is OK or not OK, e classesbut kind of saying you can never judge a book by its cover, and sometimes it's difficult to tell what’s going on inside a CU QVJGT ENWDU person’s body.

Or sluggish and tired, without any motivation? When I devise diet plans for my clients who want to lose weight, these are always factors that I would consider. THe

food you eat is meant to give you natural and sustained energy that you can burn and still feel energised. Food is not meant to be a quick fix, or a crazy high. THe problem is food is so attainable, we never have to wait for it. Everything in our world regards food is easy and accessible in abundance if we choose to make it that way. Balanced and lasting energy is really what you should be striving for, and almost forget about the weight itself, but the healthy foods you put in your mouths should bring you back into balance. Some people's ‘normal’ is different to others. It's important to remember that whatever you put in your mouth will be the reason you feel like you do. If you have endless coffees, sugary cereals and pastries for breakfast, you may fee sluggish! Someone asked me the other day what are the top foods you would recommend for weight loss and health, too. THat’s a difficult one to answer, because there are so many amazing foods, but these two came into my mind straight away. • One fruit that deserves to be highlighted is grapefruit. Its effects on weight control have been studied directly and grapefruit has been known to reduce insulin resistance, a metabolic abnormality that is implicated in various chronic diseases. So, something that might
Balanced and lasting energy is really what you should be striving for
be worth trying is eating half a grapefruit about half an hour before your daily meals, as it may help you feel more satiated and eat fewer overall calories. • I have spoken about chia seeds many times, but they are ridiculously fabulous and among the most nutritious foods on the planet. THey contain 12 grams of carbohydrates per ounce (28 grams), which is pretty high, but 11 of these grams are fibre. THis makes chia seeds a low-carb-friendly food and one of the best sources of fibre in
the world. Because of its high fibre content, chia seeds can absorb up to 11–12 times their weight in water, turning gel-like and expanding in your stomach. So, given their nutrient composition, it makes sense that chia seeds could be a useful part of a weight loss diet as they make you feel full and are so packed with goodness and fibre!

NON-UK nationals around Bognor Regis have been warned they may be unable to stay in the country after June 30, 2021. Arun & Chichester Citizens Advice said those without British citizenship who wanted to continue living and working in the UK after that date had to apply to the government's EU settlement scheme. It's free to apply but thousands have yet to seek settled status. It's believed some 14,000 residents in Arun and Chichester - or about five per cent of the population - are EU citizens. Another 9,000 are from non-EU countries. A Citizen's Advice spokesman said: "Arun & Chichester Citizens Advice can assist with applications, CREATING a wildlife haven from scratch saw a North Bersted couple named as one as the area's best gardeners. Alex Williams and Paul Flynn were awarded first prize for the best front garden in this year's Bersted in Bloom competition. THe presentation of their prize and certificate was carried out at Bersted Parish Council's latest monthly meeting. Alex said: "We're over the moon to have won. THis was the first time we had entered the competition. "We moved in five years ago and there was nothing at all in the front garden. We had done the back garden and we moved on to the front garden this year." THey planted perennials and evergreens, along with plants like pink lavender to attract wildlife, at their South Way house. THe second prize for front gardens went to Terry Springel, of Sunningdale Gardens. He said: "I entered because I wanted to support Bersted in Bloom and the local community. "I garden every day, and my partner, Hazel Jones, does a lot as well, though it's looked a bit windblown this summer. I enjoy seeing the colours and the flowers, such as dahlias and pergonias." A mass of 15-20 hanging baskets and containers saw Winston Crescent resident Linda Bowen awarded a prize for the best containers and hanging baskets. ""I just like to think they look attractive. One of my neighbours is a judge and said I should enter. "It's nice to have someone to encourage you. I've entered other years and not been quite so lucky. Cllr Steve Hearn, vice-chairman of Bersted Parish Council's community resources committee, said: "A big thank you to all the entrants. Without their support, we would not have a competition. You have all worked hard to create your beautiful gardens, hanging baskets and containers." THe awards - organised on the council's behalf by resident Philippa Seager - were handed out by its chairman, Cllr Brian Knight. THe winners are pictured above with two of the three judges: from left, Janet Hogben, Alex Williams, Paul Flynn, Linda Bowen, Terry Springel and Pat Alderton. THe children's drawing competition attracted 50-60 entries from Dizzy Ducklings, Happy Times and Stepping Stones nursery schools. THe presentations were made before the end of the summer term.

"While many applications can be made online, some have been struggling to complete their application due to their lack of language or digital skills, or in some cases, because of the complexity of their situation." Applicants usually need to have lived in the UK for five years to gain settled status but exceptions apply.

A POPULAR Bognor Regis hair salon is approaching an incredible 300,000 haircuts. Daren and Kate Terry are about to celebrate reaching the milestone as they near the 30th anniversary of opening Lotus Styling next month. Daren says he is delighted the couple's business, in Aldwick Road, is considered to be a bastion of business in the town. As well as their commercial success, the husband and wife team have raised some £30,000 for charity during the past three decades. Daren said: "Ultimately, we couldn't have more pride in what we have achieved over the years. THe goal was to create a hair salon with a vibe of London's West End and we've been able to do that. "THe fact that we have so many loyal customers who have come to us for the Lotus experience proves that." Another aspect of the business that is pleasing for Daren and Kate is the excellent staff retention record. THree staff members alone have stayed with them for 62 years. Daren has been in the spotlight for his artistic approach to hair styling which has caught the imagination of the national media. THe salon's charitable work has also gained attention - with a 26hour cutathon and thanks from the Little Princess Trust as donating a record 2,000-plus inches of hair for wigs for seriously ill children.
DELIGHTED volunteers have achieved a best-ever result at the annual hospital fete in Bognor Regis. THe final profit at the latest of the popular community events, pictured below, held by the Friends charity at Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, is set to reach about £8,000. Friends' chairman Brian Knight said: "THis is a record amount. We are very pleased with it, considering it was raining heavily in the morning when we were getting the site ready." He thanked the thousands of people who had supported the fete, held last month in the hospital's grounds in Shripney Road, for helping the group to reach such an outstanding amount. THe record fundraising proved a fitting way to mark the hospital's centenary the previous week. As reported, the Friends has agreed with the operator of the hospital, the Sussex Community Foundation NHS Trust, to spend more than £250,000 improving facilities for patients. THe first scheme set to take place is a £160,000 upgrade of the physiotherapy unit. Another £112,000 will see a new densitometry unit created. THe Friends has provided some 400 mugs to celebrate the hospital's 100 years for its staff and volunteers.

By Sylvia Endacott
The real history of Pagham's parish church Dating back to 1200, the Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket has an interesting past THERE are many churches throughout the district that we pass on a regular basis as we speedily travel to work or to the shops. However, in Pagham, the parish church is more secluded and on the external boundary of the area. I’m sure a lot of people will be surprised to learn about the real history of the parish church of St THomas A Becket. It was dedicated to THomas Becket who was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 – 1170. He was murdered in the cathedral on December 29, 1170, and canonised in 1173. A church in Pagham was first mentioned in 1086 in the Domesday Book, but during archaeology excavations they believe there was one even earlier. It is thought that today’s church dates back to 1200 . Lindsay Fleming wrote about the origins of Pagham in his book THe History of Pagham in Sussex. He said that it was referred to in the Domesday Book as Pagenham. THis was during the time of William the Conqueror. I recently came across copies of an 1893 Pagham Parish Magazine, which makes great reading. Various sums were regularly received by the church which were then spent on
clothing, shoes, and working men’s clubs, as well as the church’s maternity fund. Instead of an Ofsted report, the government inspectors visited the school in Pagham. At this time, the Vicar requested that “all children will attend punctually, and appear in their best and cleanest frocks, with their brightest faces and clearest heads.” Imagine the response to this request today! Under the section for infant school and reading room, the sum of £16 was required for the teacher’s salary, in addition to £4 7s 9d (£4.39) for school materials. I also have parish magazines from 1932 and 1933, both priced at 1 1/2d each. However it is mainly the cover that has information about Pagham and the area. When the west side of the church had to be renewed in 1836, the rose window was designed as a replica of an Italian church at Palermo, and completed with plain glass. Sir Arthur du Cros donated the coloured glass in today’s window to the church 100 years later, in memory of the convalescence of King George V, when he stayed at Craigweil House in 1929. THe window consists of a circle of 13 shields, each depicting the arms of notables connected with the church. Queen Mary was a frequent Sunday visitor

f Pagham's parish church, 1972
f An illuminated text installed to mark the millennium
during the King's stay, in fact prior to the visit of the King, a letter was received by the Rev Knox asking what facilities there would be to accommodate Queen Mary. She wished to “sit in an ordinary seat like other people, with no special preparations made". THe church is filled with artefacts from the past, including fragments of a Saxon cross, and stones from the early foundations, which were incorporated into an oak topped table. THe font bowl comes from the larger Norman church and is carved with Norman arches and a leaf pattern. One of the stained glass windows in the chancel is mediaeval and depicts the Nativity, the adoration of the Wise Men and the circumcision of Jesus. THe Victorians also did their bit in the building of this parish church, with the construction of the choir vestry and the gallery above. To mark the millennium, the church installed a memorial to present theology of the 1st century, with the technology of the 21st. THey installed an illuminated text into the floor, which proclaims, “Jesus Christ is Lord.” When you visit the church you may be invited to buy a shingle to assist with the cost of work that has to be carried out on the steeple. It is covered with shingles, wooden tiles, and unfortunately they were attacked by woodpeckers. I was interested to read the visitors book in the church and astounded to read that one couple thanked the church for the sound of their church bells on a Sunday. THey lived in Essex.
Further discussions revealed that they were regular visitors to Church Farm situated next to the church. THe church has a peal of six bells, the oldest of which dates back to 1666. Apparently, there were bells in the church earlier than this as there are records of bell repairs as far back as 1523. At a time when there is much talk about the weather and its effect on the land, it is interesting to read that in 1341 there were unprecedented gales and a great area was devastated by the sea. THese storms resulted in areas around Sea Lane and Barrack Lane being flooded. Because of the flooding, the area was omitted from a 1401 list of south coast harbours. According to Lindsay Fleming in his book, “this large, plain building has been left few features of interest, owing to the Puritan zeal of former parishioners, and the restoration of a century ago". One of the things that always strikes me when visiting the church is the friendly, family-like nature of everyone. THere is a large community atmosphere which has been necessary over the years. Supporters have recently been donating money to ‘raise the roof’ for essential repairs to the historic structure. I am positive that Lindsay Fleming would have quite a different view of the church today, which is well worth a visit. On display are detailed, multi-language leaflets on the history of the building and the church. All of which provide such interesting facts, especially when standing within the church and looking around at the historical artefacts. THis church has so much history it is well worth a visit to learn of its background.

Chi City boss calls on team to learn from mistakes at new level CHICHESTER City boss Miles Rutherford is calling on his side to learn from their mistakes as they adapt to life at Step Four. THe newly-promoted Oaklands Park side had a topsy-turvy start to life in the Isthmian South East. Chi and their supporters were jubilant after a 250 mile round trip to Ramsgate for opening day last weekend when they picked up all three points. But they very quickly learned how hard life will be at the new level when they were cruelly denied a point at home to Whyteleafe in midweek, as the visitors scored late on to win 3-2. Chi's attention now turns to the FA Cup and a trip to Southern Counties East Division One side Bridon Ropes tomorrow (3pm). Victory in the preliminary round is worth ÂŁ2,890 to the club before Chi return to league action on Monday with a Sussex derby at Burgess Hill Town (3pm). Speaking after the loss to Whyteleafe, he said: "Rutherford said: “THe FA Cup is a big opportunity for the players to put this defeat behind them. It’s a massive game for the club so we need to be prepared." THings couldn’t have begun any better for the home side against Whyteleafe in midweek when they went ahead early on after Ricardo THompson diverted a Rob Hutchings’ cross past his own keeper. THe visitors bagged an equaliser 20 minutes. But it was the hosts who regained the lead five minutes before half time as Scott Jones got a glancing header on a ball whipped in by captain Connor Cody.
Into the second half and the visitors drew level again before spurning a golden chance to take the lead when they missed a penalty. Chi thought they would escape with a point until Ben Pashley diverted a cross into his own goal with two minutes to go. Rutherford said: “We got what we asked out of the boys in the way of effort and commitment, I couldn’t fault them for that. "We worked hard but came up against a very fit and physical opponent. “I’ve told the lads, though, we have to learn from the match, we must have given away about 20 free kicks in dangerous areas and all three of their goals came from set pieces. "We’re still learning at this level but it’s those finer details that make all the difference the higher you go." Two games into the Isthmian League South East Division season Chi have proved they’ll be able to hold their own at the level and Rutherford is satisfied with the start. For the handful of fans that made the long trip to the Kent coast last weekend there was plenty to be pleased with. Two Matt Axell goals - the second a late penalty - secured victory against a side who finished in mid-table last term. Rutherford said: “I think if someone had said after two games we’d have three points I’d have taken it. "Would we have liked to have had four having come so close to getting a draw on Tuesday? Yes, but that’s football."

Defeat for Chi on Blakely bow CHICHESTER City Ladies boss Sadie Blakely knows she has plenty to do to get their season off the ground as the side look to bounce back from a disappointing opening day defeat. A young Chi side took to the field for Blakely's bow as City manager but were unable to prevent a 3-0 loss to MK Dons in the National Premier South. Despite the defeat the new manager was full of praise for the endeavour shown by her side, who should have scored at least once in a positive second half showing. City will look to make improvements when they host Cambridge City in the cup on Sunday at Oaklands Park (2pm). THey fell behind early to MK Dons, with the visitors taking the lead with 20 minutes on the clock. Chi’s heads dropped and were second to the ball at times, leaving the defence with a lot of work to do, only having opportunities on the counter attack with Tash Wild causing problems with her pace up front. It was MK Dons who scored again before the break when a mistake at the back saw Poppy Shine give the ball to the visitors' winger who smashed it into the open goal.
Blakely made a change at half time which saw Lucy Cook replace Rachel Jarvis on the wing. Cook got straight into the game and it was her ball into Amy Martins which saw the City striker fouled and awarded a penalty. Megan Fox put the ball down but the Dons
keeper was equal to it. Chi continued to get back into the game and had a few more opportunities before MK Dons made it 3-0 with a sweeping move with 20 minutes to go. Chi's young squad continued to try and probe to get a consolation effort but it was to no avail.

PAGHAM boss Bob Paine will be looking for his young side to push on after chalking up their first win of the SCFL Premier season in midweek. An inexperienced Lions side have started the season off slowly with three successive defeats which had left the side bottom. But the improvement shown by the side in recent games was rewarded in midweek when Pagham defeated Hassocks 1-0 at Nyetimber Lane. Lewis Jenkins bagged a second half goal against the Robins which earned Lions their first points of the season. Paine will be delighted with the result which came after a 2-0 away loss to newlypromoted Steyning Town last weekend when two defensive mistakes proved Pagham's downfall. THe manager, who took up the reins at Nyetimber Lane a few weeks before the start of the season, has made clear it is in front of goal where he wants to see his side improve. THat cause has been helped with the arrival of striker Dan O'Brien after he was granted international clearance from the United States. After an early exit in the
FA Cup, Pagham will have to wait until Monday to return to action when they head north across the border to play newly-promoted Alfold (3pm). In SCFL Division One, Selsey will be looking to keep up their unbeaten start to the league campaign when they face a bank holiday double header. First up for the Blues is a home match against Billingshurst tomorrow (3pm) before a short trip to Wick on Monday (3pm). Selsey will be looking to improve on last weekend when they drew 2-2 with Storrington. A Tom Atkinson header and Callum Dowdell scoring direct from the corner had twice put Daren Pearce's side in front, only for the visitors to equalise with ten minutes left. Fellow Division One side Sidlesham - who lost 2-0 at Shoreham last weekend - will be looking to gain their first win of the season at home to Storrington tomorrow (3pm) before heading to Arundel on Monday (3pm). In Division Two, Bosham - who lost 3-0 to St Francis Rangers last time out - head to Montpelier Villa tomorrow (3pm) before a short trip to Ferring on Monday (3pm).
Sportinbrief î ? Rugby BOGNOR RFC's preparations for the new Hampshire Premier season stepped up a gear last night when they took on Crawley in a pre-season friendly. THe Purple and Greens had an excellent season on the pitch last season, with the first XV finishing third in the standings while a number of academy players made their senior bows. THe pressure will be on for the club to build on that in 2019/20. A second pre-season match at Burgess Hill will follow next weekend (August 31, 2.30pm) before the season gets underway in September. It will be a special year
at Hampshire Avenue with Bognor marking 25 years since the clubhouse opened. To mark the occasion, the club are looking to welcome as many of the 1994/5 squad to a lunch on the opening home match of the season on September 14. Young players are also being invited to get involved with the club. Next week, Bognor will host a Harlequins training camp for anyone aged six to 14. It will take place on August 29 and August 30 from 9.30 am and last all day. Spaces for this training session with top level coaches cost ÂŁ85 and are still available via the club website.

THE Newtown Amity trio of Alex Norgett, Ricky Clark and Lee Hellyer hit cloud nine after lifting the Bognor Summer Darts League Divisional Trebles Division One knockout crown. THey beat Gary Blackwood, Dave Juniper and Stuart Gray (Legends) in a deciding leg to emerge victors from a very competitive final. THe match started with Legends on the front foot. Blackwood hit 60 and a 140 before finishing the leg with hit double 16 for a 20 dart leg. Leg 2 saw Newtown hit back, Clark throwing the double before Legends retook the lead in leg three. Amity were not to be beaten though, with Clark once again showing calmness under pressure to take it to a decider. Blackwood started the final leg with 123, but Clark & Hellyer both hit tons and soon both teams were on the double. It was Clark who once again stepped up to seal the title for the Newtown Amity. In Division Two, Ashley Clements, Ian Dendy & Dave Coupland (Royal Oak) met Buster Barton, Ian Hackett & Derrick Longhurst (Lamb Nomads) in the final. After taking two legs apiece, the match went to a decider. It started with a 121 from Coupland, but an 85 from Hackett, and 81 and 92 from Barton saw Nomads take the lead. With double 5 left, Longhurst stepped up to win the match and the Division 2 Trebles Champions title for the Lamb Nomads. In Division 3, the Cabin trio of Gary English, Gary Gardiner and Fred Hoare took on Steve Perry, Neil Conn and Richard Hudson (Lamb) in the final. In the opening leg, a 180 from Perry saw the Lamb trio get the early lead. But Cabin hit back to take the leg. THe second leg saw tons from English, Gardiner and Conn, before Gardiner hit double 17 for the second leg. THe third leg was close but Gardiner again took the plaudits, hitting double 9, to take the leg and the Division 3 Trebles Champions title for the Cabin.

Juliet leads TZ home at Goodwood A COHORT of Bognor Tone Zone runners were among more than 100 runners to tackle a five mile trek around the famous Goodwood estate. THe hill climb event took competitors past Goodwood House and up the South Downs before descending back down the hill towards the finish line. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t perfect due to wind and rain, but that didn’t deter the 16 club runners who took on the course. Juliet Stallard was the first lady to finish and first from the club finishing in a time of 33 minutes 18 seconds (33:18), closely followed by Jess THomson who was third lady in a time of 33:36. With the ladies from the club putting in lots of strong performances, Allen Porter was the first man to finish in a time of 35:49. Carolyn Stapley finished just behind Porter in a time of 36:08 while Donna Strowger grabbed a personal best of 37:29. Natalie Tribe snuck under the 40 minute barrier in a time of 39:33. Peter Ramsdale finished in 40:39. Karen Vilday grabbed the second PB of the night in a time of 41:02 with Jackie Williamson
and Kirstee Porter just behind in 41:29 and 41:35. Stephen Goddard, Debbie Patching, Lisa Wadey, Zoe Hemes and Debi Haddleton all finished under 50 minutes. Lea Hodgkins rounded off the night with a time of 51:18. Across the sea, in the Isle of Wight, Sam Lee, Elle Matthews and Lesley Ward took part in the island's annual Half Marathon. Sam was the first to finish out of the three in 2:17. Mother and daughter duo Elle and Lesley finished in 2:21 and 2:22. THe conditions they faced were a bit brighter than those faced by a quartet of hardened runners. On Saturday night, at 9pm, four people representing Tone Zone took on the Midnight Marathon at the Queen Elizabeth Country Park in London. Tony Holcombe was first to finish from the club while Judith Bazeley, Christine Rounds and Martin Playford all finished together in just over six hours. Martin had a nasty fall early on but was helped through by his team mates who helped patch him up and get him to the next aid station before soldering on to the end.

To break into the top three they will need to take points off a jubilant Roffey side who are unbeaten all season and last week wrapped up the 2019 title. A positive result for Heather's side will no doubt be reliant on the batting form of the skipper and overseas player Mahesh Rawat. THe pair have been in imperious form all season, sitting second and first respectively in the division batting averages. Rawat, who is averaging more than 150 with the bat, needs only 80 runs from the last two matches to score 1,000 runs for the season - a remarkable feat for a batter who comes in at five in the lineup. Both Heather and Rawat led the
way with the bat once again last weekend as Middleton played out an entertaining tie against a rejuvenated Cuckfield side. After being put into bat by the home side, Middleton's opening pair of Heather and Harry Hovey (29) put on 66 for the opening wicket. THe skipper continued his fine form, eventually ending with 89 while Rawat hit an unbeaten 69 from just 50 balls to guide Middleton to a competitive score of 266 for six off their 50 overs. In reply, Cuckfield got off to an excellent start as the visiting seamers could not break a century second-wicket stand by Joe Ludlow (61) and Joe Cambridge (78). At 155-1, Middleton looked well and truly beaten. But they rallied with Matthew Reynolds (3-39) and Heather (3-75) pegging back the middle order. It came down to a nail-biting final over with Cuckfield batter Marcus Campopiano (51) run out off the final ball with the scores level and ensuring both sides took 15 points from the game.
A FAMILIAR foe stands in the way of Bognor Regis CC's promotion push - with local rivals Chichester Priory Park in prime position to deny their neighbours a top two finish when they visit THe Regis Oval tomorrow (12.30pm). Ryan Maskell's side currently sit two points clear in second position of the Sussex Division Two table with just a couple of games to go. Win both remaining matches and Bognor will return to the top tier of the county cricket pyramid. But standing in their way will be a Chi side who, despite their inconsistency this season, would love nothing more than spoiling the possible celebrations at THe Regis Oval. Bognor's promotion hopes received an unexpected boost at the weekend when third-place Haywards Heath were beaten by relegation-threatened Goring. It means Maskell's side remain second despite their own match against Billingshurst being cancelled. THey are just a couple of points ahead of Heath and 11 clear of St James's Montefiore in fourth. Chi, meanwhile, are sixth in the ten-team division and still, if results go against them, could face being pulled into relegation
trouble. Matthew Geffen's side spurned a good opportunity to secure their Division Two status last weekend when they came up short in a run chase at St James's. After winning the toss, Chi made the most of the overhead conditions with Geffen (5-23) taking two early wickets. THe home side rebuilt through a 95 run third wicket stand from Toby Pullan (69) and Ollie Bradley (34). But Chi hit back to eventually dismiss the home side for 199. In reply, though, Priory failed to get going, quickly being reduced to 10-3. Opener Matthew Bennison (27) showed some fight. But he received little support and Chi were skittled out 105 in less than 37 overs. In Division THree West, Pagham's promotion hopes are all but over after a 32-run loss to Ansty at Nyetimber Lane last weekend. Rico Webb (4-53) starred with the ball as the visitors scored a total of 199-9 in their 45 overs. But despite Jack Stannard (50) and Ryan Barratt (44) making contributions, Pagham came up short. Tomorrow sees them head to secondbottom Findon (12.30pm).

Bognor ready for derby day at the Rebels

NEXT GAME
ROCKS first team coach Robbie Blake has warned his side that the form book will go out the window as Bognor make the short trip to Worthing for El Classicoast. THe mood at the Nye Camp has been lifted before the Bank Holiday Monday derby at Woodside Road (3pm) thanks to a 5-0 dismantling of Wingate & Finchley last time out. A brace from Dan Smith, a Tommy Leigh free kick, a Tyrell Mitford strike and fine Jimmy Muitt finish sealed the rout for the Rocks as they netted a quintet of goals in just 37 second half minutes. With Worthing losing 6-0 at home to AFC Hornchurch, the near neighbours head into the match in a very different mindset. But Blake warned that he expects those results to be put to one side for the eagerlyanticipated derby. Speaking to Rocks Radio, he said: "In a derby games form goes out of the window and I'm pretty sure their manager will have them up for the game. It will be completely different to a 6-0. "Since I have been here, we have had some joy [against Worthing] and let's hope that continues. "We know it will be a hard game. We have to make sure we stick to the basics as we are a good side. "We try and promote attacking
football to give fans something to enjoy. Even when we're getting beat or drawing we really appreciate the supporters and are really proud of them and all the support we get." THe derby at Worthing is set to draw in a big crowd, with close to 2,000 attending the same game last season. Second half strikes from Dan Smith and Mason Walsh sealed a 2-0 win for Rocks in that match. THat was followed by a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture. With former Bognor players including Ollie Pearce and Alex Parsons in the Rebels line up it will prove to be a feisty encounter. Blake though wants to make sure the Rocks still to their strengths - believing that if they can keep things tight at the back, they can get goals to win. Speaking after the Wingate win, he said: "We are three games in now and there has to be learning curves about how we play the game. We can't play the game like we did in the first half against Horsham "I'm always happy with our team when it's 0-0 at half time as I always feel that the way we play football, the way we take control of games in the second half when players get tired, then I'm confident we can go on and win the game."
Worthing (A) Monday August 26 at 3pm
Green gone; Mitford steps up HE was brought back to the club with the intention of solving the Rocks lack of goals from midfield. But Stuart Green's return to the Nye Camp has been cut short after the former AFC Totton hotshot revealed he was unable to commit to the club for family reasons. THe hard-working goalscoring midfielder, who played just two league games for the Rocks this season, announced his departure on the eve of the trip to Wingate & Finchley last weekend. His place on the left hand side of the forward line for that 5-0 away win was taken by Tyrell Mitford. With on-loan Portsmouth striker Bradley Lethbridge also likely to come back into contention soon, Rocks look well set with attacking options. But that did not mean that those involved with the club were not disappointed with the departure of the well-liked Green. Bognor general manager Simon Cook said: "It's a real shame but, of course, we fully understand and accept Stuart's decision. It goes without saying that we thank him for his time with us and we wish him all the best for the future." Green's replacement in the starting line up has already made a real impact with the Rocks faithful. After netting after coming off the bench at home to Horsham, he scored again in the win at Wingate.
Speaking to Rocks Radio after the match, the former Winchester City striker said: "I just try to do what I have been brought in to do, which is to score as many goals as I can for the team and get some good results. "It was important to get off to a good start, not just for me but to get the trust from the other players. If they can see that I can
actually play, which I think I can, it gives them trust in me on the pitch." He added: "We were very, very good. I'm not going to say that 5-0 flatters them but we had so many more chances and if we were a bit more ruthless it could have been more. It just goes to show what we can do if we play at our best."

WELL, I'm not sure many of us - even us players - saw that result coming! A 5-0 away win is always something to treasure. But when you consider we were missing Craney and Joe Dandy had been out after being ill all week it was a great result. Wingate have also had some good results at home, such as a draw against Kingstonian when they were down to ten for much of the game. But it turned out well for us, I think because they were poor and we were really good I think the main difference from the first few games is that we took our chances THe first half we didn't take them but once we got the first through Tommy Leigh then we settled down a bit. Dan Smith was top class and I think he was man of the match. But at the other end Keaton was great snuffing out any of their chances and then starting another attack for us. THe key message in the dressing room is for us to relax. And I think it makes a hell of a difference going one up rather than one down. After Tommy got that first we knew we would create one or two more but it was just a case of taking them. We didn't manage that against Horsham when we could have had three or four but we just didn't take them. THose are the fine margins that matter and make the difference between wining 5-0 away and drawing 1-1 at home. We've also seen the forward line shaken up a bit as Stu left the club and Tyrell come in. THey are two very different players who offer different aspects to the team - Stu does a lot of work off the ball and Tyrell is very direct. It's sad to see Stu leave. He's a great bloke but he needs to put his family first at the moment and I have great respect for
him for doing that. As for Tyrell, he came to a couple of training sessions with us and I thought straight away that he was a good player. After one session he was in the squad, scored a good goal against Horsham and then scored again at Wingate. It's great to have him on board. We also had a blow this week with the news that Chad has to have an operation so will be out for a while. We have done well to get Ben Clark-Eden in who has done well but perhaps we're missing some experience at centre half. It's up to Jack and Blakey to see if they want to bring someone in. But we can't really moan when we have just won 5-0 away. Next we have Worthing on Monday. It's always difficult with derby games but we tend to have a good record in them. THe pressure will be on them to get a good result because of last year when we won. But I think if we played like we did on Saturday, if we defend like we did on Saturday, then we should be alright It will also be a chance to see some familiar faces like Alex Parsons and Ollie Pearce. Sadly, Buddy will not be playing after getting a nasty injury last week. When I heard I texted him and he did say he would be about and catch up over a beer after the match. It's difficult when you know players so well. THey are good mates but nothing changes as you still want to win. THe only thing is that if I kick Alex - who's one of the nicest blokes in football - I may actually apologise to him! Before then, we have a rare Saturday off which is nice as it is my birthday. THe plan is just to chill out. I may watch the Moneyfields game and then perhaps a game of golf before focussing on the derby on Monday.
