Crematorium site 'safety risk' ROAD accident fears led councillors to reject a planned crematorium in Yapton.

THey voted overwhemingly to reject their officers' advice to approve the proposals for a field north of Grevatts Lane North because they believed collisions could be caused by mourners travelling along the A259.

Arun District Council development control committee members said they were worried traffic turning right out of

the crematorium's exit on to the A259 westbound could result in 'severe harm to pedestrians and road users'.

THey also decided that the lack of a dedicated turning lane from the A259 into the site would cause shunts from motorists driving along the road.

Cllr David Edwards (C, Felpham E) said the intended junction between the crematorium and the A259 had the potential to become another danger

junction like the Oystercatcher and Comet Corner sites along the A259.

"It looks dangerous and, I don't want to be the purveyor of doom, but that road has killed people.

"I know it's down to motorists generally.

However, that will not stop it happening and that junction is possibly worse than the other two," he said.

Cllr Hugh Coster (I, Aldwick E) said: "I am very concerned about this junction on

to the A259. What we are going to create here is another Comet Corner.

"What is going to happen is that vehicles coming from the west turning into this junction are going to slow down a lot because it's a very sharp turning.

"THis needs at least a slowing down lane. I don't think putting up signs saying 'crematorium', which has been suggested, is going to help in the slightest."

A DRAGON'S DEN-style contest could take place to encourage a new Bognor Regis event to be held.

THe competition would offer some of the £25,000 Arun District Council has agreed to back the town centre with next year.

THe council's cabinet members backed a report from their chief executive, Nigel Lynn, which requested officers to consider the funding as part of a £60,000 districtwide regeneration budget.

Mr Lynn said: “I want to try to get something new and fresh in the town centres. I was thinking a Dragon's Den approach where people pitch their ideas to be supported with the money, though that's not hard and fast yet.”

In his report to Monday's meeting, Mr Lynn said an exciting events programme was one of the most important elements of revitalising the centre of Bognor Regis.

A small grant-making scheme that supported local and regional cultural organisations to propose dynamic and inspiring cultural activity would help to transform the area as its shops faced fierce competition from internet retailers.

Bognor Regis would be the first town to benefit from the council's work in staging the event.

“A one-day/weekend event is likely to include a spectacular centrepiece of art presented locally and supported by a collection of accessible and joyous familycentred activities that would encourage out-of-town visitors, drive footfall, raise local aspiration and dovetail into support for the night-time economy,” he said.

THe proposals had the support of the Business Improvement District's board in Bognor Regis and would see Arun work closely with its members as well as other partners.

THe district council's work would be led by a officer with the national children's charity, Artswork, who was based at the council with the Arun Inspires project.

Other British seaside towns such as Lowestoft and Morecambe had boosted their economies by hosting festivals, Mr Lynn said. He also said the experience of the Belgian city of Roeselare, which he had visited as part of a national network of councils, showed the importance of creating experiences if town centres were to prosper.

Council leader Cllr Dr James Walsh (LD, Beach) welcomed the report. He said: “We are unlikely to bring back the high streets we have a nostalgia for. We have to help re-visit, re-shape and re-purpose our high streets kick-started in a small way by this council.”

Arts and crafts would be important to those efforts along with free wi-fi.

“It would be good to have artists, potters and sculptors and other craftsmen and women able to demonstrate their skills and have an outlet for their sales,” he said.

Rox founder and councillor Steve Goodheart said at the meeting: “I totally believe this is something that is really important. Hopefully, we can as a community in the district get together.”

THe cabinet also agreed to develop town centre plans for Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Arundel and set up a business rate relief fund for start-up businesses in the town centres.

County council seeks views about Felpham improvements RESIDENTS' views are wanted about proposed road safety measures in Felpham.

West Sussex County Council has launched a consultation into its plans to make conditions in the village centre safer for pedestrians.

THe proposals include improved crossing facilities in Felpham Road, next to its junction with Vicarage Lane. THis would comprise a zebra crossing with dropped kerbs and tactile paving, with the existing pedestrian refuge island removed.

Also being proposed is an improved bus stop at which passengers will be

able to step directly from the kerb on to a bus. A renewed footpath for shoppers is also among the improvements.

A county council spokesman said: "Improvements will be funded by developer contributions from the Blakes Mead housing development, which is situated adjacent to the village relief road. If plans are approved, work could start in the next financial year, 2020/21."

Residents' views and comments to the county council online, by email or in writing are being invited before a final decision is made.

Jill's a winner when she goes shopping

News 3

f Sorin-Alexandru Mandache

Man sentenced

f Josephine Ventham and Malcolm Godden, centre, with Southern Co-op's Jill Elliott and Vicki Ireland Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk A LUCKY Rose Green shopper has beaten odds of nearly half a million to one to go on the holiday of a lifetime.

Josephine Ventham was randomly selected to win £5,000 in a competition.

She said the prize would enable her to have a well-deserved break with her husband, Malcolm Godden.

Josephine, 59, is a regular shopper at the THe Co-Operative Food store in Rose Green Road. She was surprised to receive the phone call from the Southern Coop - the independent co-operative based

in Portsmouth - which told her the good news.

"I didn't believe it at first," said Josephine, a Co-operative member. "We are in the middle of trying to move home at the moment to be closer to our family, so we have a lot to be thinking about.

"With my husband, Malcolm, 72, in a wheelchair, you can imagine that going away is not easy.

"What we are going to do is use the cash for a holiday which we will organise ourselves as we need one that is wheelchair-friendly. We might also wait a little while until things settle down."

THe prize was part of Southern Co-op's

Swipe and Win competition. THis enabled people to enter simply by swiping their membership card during a transaction.

During the competition entry period, there were 452,000 transactions where members swiped their cards to mean any one of those could have been chosen instead of Josephine's.

Four runners-up were also selected.

THose members won a Fitbit, a coffee machine, an Amazon Fire stick and £100 of in-store vouchers.

Southern Co-op has more than 250 food and funeral branches across the south of England. THe organisation is owned by its 140,000-plus members.

A MAN has been inprisoned after he tried to rape a woman in Bognor Regis while high on a concoction of drugs.

Sorin-Alexandru Mandache, 24, of no fixed address, was sentenced at Portsmouth Crown Court on Friday after he admitted three counts of attempted rape at a previous hearing.

During his sentencing, Judge Herrington said that Mandache claimed to remember nothing of the night after taking cocaine which he believed to have been mixed with spice (synthetic marijuana.)

Mandache’s sentence was reduced to four years and eight months imprisonment due to his guilty plea.

Mandache attacked the 44-year-old woman in Hook Lane, Bognor Regis, as she was walking home, shortly after 10pm on THursday, August 1.

When addressing Mandache and outlining the case, Judge Herrington said: "On the first of August this year, the victim was walking home from her place of work.

"She appears to have recognised you when you approached her.

"You told her that you really fancied her and she subtly tried to brush you off with a few light hearted remarks.

"THis appeared to work in the sense that you parted and seemed to be going your own way.

"She carried walking along the main road, this was at about 10 o’clock in the evening. Suddenly she

was grabbed from behind, swept up like a baby, as she put it, and was made to fall on to the ground.

"You put your hand over her mouth and attempted to rape her three times."

Before making off on foot, Mandache offered the victim his phone number.

THe victim made her way home from where the police were called.

At the sentencing, Judge Herrington said: “She was left with some injuries but this also had a serious psychological effect on her.

"She was left in a very nervous condition which has persisted.

THe prosecution, followed enquiries by detectives from the West Sussex Safeguarding Investigations Unit working with local Arun officers.

Detective Constable Katy Lewis said: "Immediate forensic and other enquiries swiftly led to Mandache's identification and he was tracked down within days.

"He had at first denied any involvement but when faced with DNA evidence had little option but to admit his guilt."

THe victim said: "I am glad that he has been put away, and can’t do this to anyone else.”

DC Lewis added: "THis isolated case shows how our investigations can be aided by swift reporting while forensic and other evidence is still accessible."

Sewage found at historic site Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk

CANOEIST Sarah Logan has spoken of her disgust at another finding of raw sewage in Pagham Harbour.

Ms Logan said she was appalled at the amount of effluent she saw during her latest outing at the local nature reserve.

“THe amount of pollution is appalling,” she said at this year's open meeting held by the harbour's managing organisation, the RSPB. “It is mashed up untreated sewage.

“Sidlesham Quay is the filthiest place. It is unbelievably dirty. You have got to be out on it to see it. It is shocking and quite unbelievable. I have read that Southern Water discharge into the harbour every five weeks. If they are doing that now, how are they going to cope with all the housing which is being built around the harbour?”

She told the Post outside the meeting at the harbour's visitor centre on Friday: “I have lived in Church Norton for nearly 10 years and I can remember how clean the water always was in the harbour and certainly on the beach. Last year, I went out from the car park and up to Sidlesham Quay and the water was beyond disgusting.

“Two weeks ago, I went out and it was the same. I have recently read that Southern Water have been fined £127m for discharging raw sewage. It doesn't seem to have worked. You don't see it if you don't go out on the water. I may be nearly the only witness to what is actually happening.”

Tim Calloway, the RSPB's former

manager for the nature reserve, said Southern Water had been fined for fabricating water quality results to the industry's regulator, Ofwat, for seven years.

“THe Environment Agency (EA) is now investigating Southern Water further.

What we are saying, in line with other environmental organisations, is that we expect the EA to hit Southern Water hard and to ensure they have to rectify the problems they have caused.

“We are expecting evidence to come forward about this matter. Even if Southern Water have been discharging every five weeks, that might be in line with their licence from the EA." Several water treatment plants were sited close to the harbour, he said. THe pollution could come from them or another source.

County councillor Pieter Montyn (C, THe Witterings) said: “I suggest we approach Southern Water quite seriously about this.

I will also make direct contact with them.”

THe matter could best be dealt with in future by a body similar to the Chichester Harbour water quality group. THis comprised the various councils around the harbour and the water company.

“It takes time and it needs people, but it is something that could be considered here,” he said. “THe water quality there is doing pretty well.”

Steve Webster, RSPB site manager, said Ms Logan's comments showed more attention to pollution should be included in the harbour's management plan.

THe Post reported in 2017 Southern Water had discharged raw sewage into the harbour 53 times in five years.

THese included Pevensey, Hotham and Bersted around Bognor Regis plus rural locations like Yapton and Barnham with their pockets of deprivations.

A hidden wealth of bravery and top secret life at Abbeyfield Chichester where, in the heart of Chichester, we provide sheltered residential living and help at home to those in later years Abbeyfield Chichester Oakshade, Market Avenue, Chichester, PO19 1JR Tel: 01243 539207 www.abbeyfieldchichester.org THE 75th Anniversary of D-Day commemoration, close at hand in Portsmouth and the Victory in Europe

1st Flying Officer Geer 1945

commemorations across Europe this summer, brought to mind how indebted we are to so many of our past residents and to those now living with us at Abbeyfield Chichester. At our two sheltered accommodation houses here in the city centre we live alongside many folk who, in their later years, carry a life story rich in the experiences of World War Two that most of us are thankful only to hear about second hand.

One such resident who lived with us for many years at our smaller Westgate sheltered living house

had been awarded an MBE, something our House Manager and others there were curious about. But Elizabeth was as reticent about this as everything else in her life.

Once sitting in the garden with her on a sunny day, I broached the subject.

“Oh, I expect that was just for being a good girl in the WRENS in WW11”, came the reply. Being ‘a good girl in the WRENS’ included organising top secret Atlantic convoy escorts, a posting as a cypher officer in Washington DC and appointment as Assistant to Lord Louis Mountbatten, actually standing beside him in Singapore, when he received the surrender from the Japanese General Seishiro in 1945.

Many of our residents were busy in WW11; John, with us now for over 11 years, renounced his Medical Studies, a ‘reserved activity’, joined up, was trained as a Flying Officer then posted to Burma. He flew Dakotas delivering army supplies over jungle regions where airstrips were hastily made clearings. Instead of learning about anatomy and diagnoses, life became a constant battle to avoid the Japanese and monstrous tropical monsoons that prevailed in the region.

Fred was called up at just 19 and joined the Royal Air Force along with his brother. THere followed 5 eventful often hair raising years with postings in Egypt, Libya, Gaza, Greece and eventually India finding himself in places he had hardly heard of. Margaret

and Meg joined the WRENS. Margery was singled out for Officer Training and began ‘specialist work’ in the AntiAircraft section of the ATS. Joan’s work in aircraft construction was ‘restricted activity’ and she was sworn to secrecy.

All we do know is that she had, “A soft spot for Spitfires”!

A debt indeed owed to so many of our residents and a very respectful thank you.

Park has new Friends group SUPPORTERS of a Bognor Regis park have vowed to continue to back the valued open space.

A four-strong committee of the new Friends of Hotham Park was immediately formed this week after the dissolution of the previous charity which boosted the park's amenities.

Park user Graham Cook was unanimously voted as the initial chairman of the Friends.

He told a packed meeting on Wednesday: "I have used the park for 20 years. I walk there regularly. I have a passion for the park and I love the park."

Mr Cook, 54, of Glamis Street, later said: "I have seen everything that has changed about the park - from the stagnant Rainbow's End (theme park) to what it is now.

"THe park is part of my life and it is extremely important to Bognor Regis. It's a portal between Butlin's and the town."

He said he hoped to continue the popular events which the previous Hotham Park Heritage Trust had staged.

THese include the summer country fair - which attracted an estimated 12,000 visitors last August - Carols in the Park and the summer bandstand music concerts. But the future programme will be discussed at the initial meetings of the Friends' committee.

THe first will be held in about two weeks and will include a vice-chairman, secretary and treasurer. THese positions were quickly filled at the inaugural meeting after votes of the some 50 members present. But the

individuals in the roles could change as the Friends go through their first year.

THe voluntary charitable organisation was formed at the meeting following the end of the heritage trust.

THe charity was formed in 1999 to succeed a Friends of Hotham Park House from the 1970s and has played a major role in improving the park for the enjoyment of its many visitors.

THe trust's final annual meeting, held at the Regis Centre, attracted some 70 people. Chairman Ann Cranham said it had been impossible for the five trustees to carry on.

"As always, we have tried to attract more members and volunteers - a universal cry from all community groups, I know - because it has continued to be a decreasing small core of loyal workers keeping the trust going," she said.

But the trustees were confident the results of the hard work of the past 20 years, starting with a £2.2m lottery grant, would be long remembered.

"THe marvellous work that the trust has achieved over the years will never be forgotten. It is there for all to see.

"I hope that the care and protection of Hotham Park will continue with renewed vigour and wish every success to the future management team," she said.

It was estimated at the meeting the trust had spent some £150,000 on the park.

THe good relations with Arun District Council, the park's owner, were praised and the Friends hoped that the positive relationship would continue.

f Fazilette Khan, founder of the GreenSeas Trust

Beach-goers encouraged to bin rubbish to cut plastic pollution ECO warriors joined councillors and volunteers at the launch of a new bin on Bognor Regis seafront.

THe group of Eco Warrior pupils from the Edward Bryant School, London Road, joined members of the GreenSeas Trust, for the launch of their new bin.

Made of resin from recycled plastics, the new addition is designed to encourage people to cut plastic pollution of the seas and oceans.

Lola Mann, 10, is a student from the Edward Bryant School and a member of the Eco Warrior team at the school.

She said: “Everyone can use this bin.

When people come down and go to the beach, they’ll see it and remember to use it.

“If people sit on the beach they can just walk up here and pop it in the bin, rather than leaving stuff on the lovely beaches.

“I try and keep our environment clean.

My mum started doing stuff so I do it. She makes eco bricks which are bottles filled with bits of plastic that get sent away and are used to build things.”

Bags for Brexit fans BREXITEERS gathered in Bognor Regis offering answers and advice.

Led by Hartley Elder, the Bognor Regis and Littlehampton's prospective parliamentary candidate for the Brexit party, six volunteers hosted a stall in London Road.

THe group gave out hessian bags along with THe Brexiteer newspaper. More than 200 people showed an interest in the stall, with every bag having been collected by the end of the afternoon.

Mr Elder was there on Saturday, spending his time across the stall in Bognor Regis, as well as the event at Littlehampton at the same time.

He said: “We had a fabulous day. People were taking a bag and asking if they could have another one for friends. It’s nice to have so many people coming and speak to us.

"THere were times when where were people all round the stand to find out what we’re all about

and what’s going on with the country."

He said their aim is to become known around their constituency.

"At some point there will be a general election, he said, "so we need to be known.

"Some members of the public are obviously very enthusiastic, some just want to come to chat to us.

"Ultimately, we are brand new. Everybody knows about the Tories and Labour, many people don’t know we’re out there. We need to raise our profile even more.

"Lots of people are supporters of the Brexit idea but don’t feel confident in coming out and saying it so having people standing out in public is really good.

"THere’s a significant silent group out there who are Brexiters but are reluctant to tell their family and friends. If they can see us accepted as the norm it lets them come out of their shells."

Arun District Council chairman Jeanette Warr and chief executive Nigel Lynn met Fazilette Khan, founder of the GreenSeas Trust, to test out the bin which is shaped like a life belt.

Fazilette said: “I was in the Navy, on a ship sailing through the Atlantic and suddenly, in the middle was a huge tractor tyre. I went to beautiful places that were getting more and more ruined by rubbish.

I went to Tobago and saw people littering all over the beach. I went home and told my father and he said “I’m sure you will figure it out. THe next day I was made redundant and started work.

"THere’s all these fantastic TV programmes bringing awareness but something actually needs to be done.

THat’s what we decided to do. We created the bin that everyone can use. If everyone litters just a tiny bit, you don’t realise it’s a massive problem. THe project was a collaboration. Arun were part of it through the whole journey. If we can make a difference by making a few changes, we’ve done our job.

News 5

From page one Cllr John Charles (C, Barnham) said: "I still have very great concerns about the entrance off the A259 coming from Bognor Regis. I don't think that angle is enough to get round."

THe committee's decision on Wednesday came two months after its members deferred the plans by Landlink Estates for further road safety investigations.

THese showed the potential for rear end shunts on the A259 and proposed signs to help to overcome the risk.

THe safety audit also made four other suggestions. THey included no through road signs at the A259 junction with Gravetts Lane West to ensure motorists realised they would be unable to get through to Bilsham Road.

A county council highways officer at the meeting said at a deceleration lane had not be suggested by the latest safety audit or the initial one which accompanied the application.

Simon Davis, an Arun planning officer, told councillors any highways improvements deemed necessary by county council highways experts would be funded by Landlink Estates.

He said in his report the concerns of residents and Yapton Parish Council had been considered regarding road safety, visual amenity, pollution and biodiversity.

"It is not considered the proposal results in any material harm to any of these considerations and that there will be long-term benefits from the enhancements of the local landscape and of the biodiversity value of the site," he stated.

THe crematorium would be sited on grade two farmland but the location was the best available for the facility.

planting of native trees will be in place of the trees to be removed. THe new house will not constitute a harm to the duck pond because of its distance to the pond.

"THe current parking arrangements are informal only and they will not restrict access to the planned house."

Arun planning officer Simon Davis said: "We consider the dwelling will be largely hidden by the surrounding public land and, therefore, will not be harmful to the character of the area."

His recommendation to approve the house was backed by the committee.

But Cllr Martin Lury (LD, Bersted) said: "THis is a really special place which has been served by volunteers.

"We must be very careful about any development that detracts from this."

Cllr Hugh Coster (I, Aldwick E) said he was concerned about the loss of six trees to enable the house to be built. "Our tree officer is not keen on this at all," he said.

Cllr Isabel THurston (G, Barnham) said: "I am concerned trees may be further removed or cut back in some way."

Cllr Michael Clayden (C, Angmering) said: "We are not doing anything on the duck pond itself. " Cllr John Charles (C, Barnham) said: "I can't see any planning reason to turn this down, not one."

Councillors unite to support the magenta Arundel bypass option ARUNDEL councillors have united to support the magenta route for the A27 Arundel bypass.

THis is part of the latest consultation taking place until October 24 by Highways England. THe construction of the bypass has been delayed from spring 2020 to late 2022.

West Sussex county councillor Gary Markwell, who represents Arundel and Courtwick division, said: “Having spoken to many local residents, there is a clear majority who believe the bypass must be just that, a bypass of the town of Arundel.

“Local residents do not want a new dual-carriageway cutting through the

middle of their town”.

“I have sought reassurances from Highways England that all of the route options being consulted on are financially viable.

"I therefore believe the best route for local residents to get behind to ensure a real bypass is actually built is the magenta route”.

Arundel councillors representing both Arun District Council and the county council united in support of the magenta option. Six different route options for the bypass have been included in the latest consultation.

THese include two online routes and four offline routes.

She said: “As long as you take what you can do, do what you’re capable of, I think that’s the most important.

“I’ve always stayed active. I used to go ballroom dancing a lot, that was the highlight of my life. I loved it, especially going down to Blackpool, that’s the ultimate for dancing in my opinion.

“I’m always going out, doing crosswords.

I keep the brain going I do crosswords every day in the paper. But I think the nicest part, even with the war, is the dancing.

"I remember going out one evening.

My aunties came down and my old uncle stayed with us. I was ready and my aunty said to my dad, “You’re not going to let her go out like that?” And he said: “I couldn’t stop her. And that’s the way she went, that’s the way she’d want to go.” We’d go out dancing, especially when the army bands were all down and we’d dance to them.

“We had the time of our life. THat’s all part of it. I think going so often dancing is important, it’s kept me going.” size only Standard plate

AN IMPASSIONED plea has failed to stop a house being built next to an Aldwick beauty spot.

Aldwick Preservation Society chairman Paul Bignell urged councillors to reject plans for the property.

He said the dwelling's location next to the popular Aldwick Duck Pond would alter its setting. He told Arun District Council's development control committee: "If this plan is allowed, it will change the character of this part of Aldwick completely.

"THere will be a loss of open land and trees where the house is about to go.

"THere will be a reduction and loss of access amenities for people to visit the duck pond and there will be a loss of parking spaces for visitors and for the people who help to maintain the duck pond, who are all volunteers."

Allowing the house at the rear of 276 Aldwick Road would permanently change the look of the duck pond, he said.

Aldwick parish councillor Jan Rufey also told the committee on Wednesday the proposed house would potentially harm trees around the site.

As well as the parish council's objections, Arun received 38 letters of protest.

But Kerry Simmons, planning agent for applicant Acuba Developments, said "Most of the trees will be retained and new

FRIENDS and colleagues gathered to celebrate a very special surprise birthday party.

To mark Edie Calloway’s 100th birthday, a surprise party was held at the Jubilee Hall in Middleton-on-Sea to celebrate her pending birthday the next day, on October 5.

THe event was organised by two of her friends, Joyce Weston and Rosemary Phillips. Stacy Turner provided vocal entertainment for the evening on Friday, and led a resounding rendition of Happy Birthday from all the guests.

Carl Smith was in charge of taking photos for the event. He said: "It was wonderful to see her joyful surprise when she realised what was in store. Edie is an amazing lady, bright and lucid. She told me it came from her ballroom dancing days at the London Lyceum."

For Edie, her ballroom dancing, and keeping active in general, is what she believes has kept her so fit and healthy.

Breakfast brings everyone together Lotte Pegler lotte.pegler@sussexpost.co.uk

EASTERGATE Village Hall is the setting for a community breakfast bringing people of all ages together.

Taking place once a month, Nina NinaMaria McMaster, hosts a community breakfast, inviting everyone along.

For £2.50, everyone gets a fried breakfast, as well as unlimited cups of tea or coffee.

Wendy Whitmarsh attended her second breakfast at the hall on September 25 with her husband, Pete.

She said: “My daughter dragged us here for the first time. She said we needed to get out more. It’s a super idea having things like this in the community.

“It’s nice meeting new people to talk to, some people we meet here we haven’t seen in years. THese days you get in the car

to go to the shops, we don’t get to bump into people like we used to. I go to the WI, I think it’s important to do social things like this.”

Nina has been running a variety of community events in the hall over the past few years. “I’ve been running coffee mornings here for 18 months now," she said. "We came up with the idea on new year's day. We had more than 100 people turn up.

"It’s nice to come together, it’s a friendly atmosphere. People come back, we just get more people every time. We’re also thinking of doing a Christmas dinner on Christmas day. We’re asking for local businesses to support that if they can.

“People find it hard asking their neighbours for help because they feel like they're imposing. People don’t have to worry about that here.”

Charity's hard work pays off TEAM members at a local charity have celebrated the impact of their hard work.

THe Aldingbourne Trust, based just north of the A27, runs an award-winning WorkAid scheme which aims to match adults with learning disabilities or autism with suitable work placements.

THis week they have celebrated the progress of John Buck, 51, who is just one of the people they support.

John works as a trolly attendant at Tesco but has worked in a number of different areas in the past.

John's employment consultant at WorkAid, Anthony Hughes, said: "John is a great character. He is a very enthusiastic worker and would attempt

to dig to Australia if you asked."

After gaining experience at the Acorn horticultural unit, he gained full-time employment at a local garden nursery.

When the garden centre closed down, he looked for more employment and gained further experience through a range of other jobs.

John worked as a warehouse and office cleaner and as a grape picker at a local vineyard. John has now been happily working at Tesco for three months and is considered a valuable member of the team.

He has at times been offered overtime and has now been offered a permanent contract.

Golden days for seasonal celebration at district's rural and history museum

By Alicia Denny alicia.denny@sussexpost.co.uk

ALL THE sights, smells and sounds of the season came together at the Weald and Downland Living Museum's Autumn and Countryside Show.

Once again, this hugely-popular family event drew crowds to the 40-acre site at Singleton where there were activities and displays marking harvest and its importance to rural people.

THe show, on Saturday and Sunday, was also the first time members of the public had been able to find out about the museum's plans to mark its 50th anniversary next year with a major fundraising effort, which was launched last THursday by the museum's ambassador, actor Hugh Bonneville.

Before presenting a cheque for ÂŁ5,000 towards the appeal, Hugh told guests at a special reception that it had been an easy decision to agree to support the cause as he had been visiting the museum nearly all his life and it was an amazing place.

He said: "It is special, and when I am here I feel an immense calm. It's an opportunity to imagine, re-imagine and reflect - give pause for thought.

"It's no coincidence Downton Abbey is number one in the cinema at present. I believe it's a reflection of how we do like to be in touch with the past.

"THe museum celebrates and investigates

connecting with the past and there is a general feeling of resurgence in arts and crafts so brilliantly practised here," added Hugh.

He officially opened the latest buildings to be re-erected at the museum, Eastwick Park dairy and Newdigate bakehouse, which complement the long-established Lurgashall watermill.

Samples of bread and biscuits from the bakehouse were eagerly tried by visitors to the autumn show as were the many artisan food products available in the food village.

Apple pressing showed how fruit grown on the site's orchard at Bayleaf farmstead was turned into cider while other examples of home-grown fruit and vegetables were on display in the horticultural marquee.

THe museum's gardening team, Chichester Organic Gardening Society and Chichester Beekeepers' Association representatives were also on hand to give advice.

Illustrating the age-old annual cycle of farming life, wheat grown on the museum's fields was turned into grain by a steam-powered thresher as spectators were mesmerised by this early example of rural mechanisation. Vintage tractors and heavy horses also had their chance to show visitors how they contributed to harvest.

Arena displays throughout the two days included a fascinating insight into

how gun dogs, ferrets and a Harris hawk could work together.

A fun dog show, organised by MAD About Dogs, attracted entries for seven classes, including best friend for a child under 12 with a dog.

Music from THe FB Pocket Orchestra, THe Courtiers and THe Kites kept feet tapping as stalls were browsed and Fishbourne Mill Morris dancers performed on Sunday.

THere was have-a-go archery for adults while children had plenty to interest them, too, with large-scale medieval games by the Mill Pond.

As one of the largest events held at the museum each year, the show was the ideal springboard for the museum's golden jubilee celebrations and appeal, which aims to raise ÂŁ2.5m, a sum which will be match-funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, to improve access, rebuild and conserve Titchfield Market Hall and establish an endowment fund for the future.

Celebrity supporters for 50 Years and Counting include television historian Ruth Goodman, presenters from THe Repair Shop, which is filmed at the museum, and broadcaster and historian Dr Jonathan Foyle.

` Housing backed HOMES in Aldingbourne which have been rejected twice are to be built after all.

ARUN District Council has approved the latest scheme by developer Whalebeck for Wings Nursery in Lidsey Road.

THe go-ahead for the 55 homes by council planning officer Dan Vick has been made because the council lacks the five-year housing supply which the government demands.

In his report, Mr Vick states: "It is accepted that there would be a loss of the best and most versatile agricultural land.

"However, in this case the benefits are the boost to the council's housing land supply, the provision of affordable housing and the contributions to local education, libraries and medical services."

Housing plans on the 2.6 hectare site in Lidsey Road were twice turned down by councillors in 2018.

` Macmillan total WE HAVE been asked by the Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital to state its final total at this year's coffee morning for Macmillan Cancer Support was ÂŁ536.58.

` Pond clear-up VOLUNTEERS are welcome to join the latest tidy-up of Pagham's duck pond. THe event is taking place all day from 9am next Friday.

THe event has been organised, subject to weather, by neighbouring residents of the site in Sussex Drive.

Emma eyes up better future Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk BEAUTY expert Emma Jones wants her new Bognor Regis business to help others follow her example.

Emma launched her lash and brow salon in London Road on Saturday.

She intends to use the Flirt and Flutter salon as a training academy to help someone follow in her footsteps from the dole queue to businesswoman.

Bognor Regis resident Emma said she hoped to offer free training courses once the academy was fully set up next year.

"I really want to help those who are interested in the beauty industry but, due to an underprivileged background, may have not had the opportunity to pursue a career in the industry.

"I hope to offer one placement a year to include training, mentoring and support in various elements of the business," she said.

She intends to work with Bognor Regisbased My Sisters' House women's centre to find a suitable person to benefit from her offer.

Mum-of-one Emma, 31, was living on benefits last year in emergency accommodation with her son, now aged seven. She had previous jobs in sales and marketing but decided to pursue her passion for eyebrows.

She studied a beauty course two years ago intermittently and followed that by renting a room in a beauty business in Chichester.

THat step ten months ago has led to a loyal customer base, with 80 per cent of her 30 or so customers a week returning time after time.

"I had tried other careers and had

always ended up feeling dissatisfied.

"Now, I'm lucky enough to work in an industry I love and, more importantly, make others feel good about themselves.

"THat's what I would like to pass on to my others with my training academy."

Emma has recruited another team member to start in November. THis will be followed by her training academy and the launch of her own brand of Flirt and Flutter lash and brow products.

"I'm quite an ambitious person," she said. "I have always wanted to be my own boss. I like to use my initiative.

"It's my son that drives me on. I come from a background of poverty. I didn't have much going on.

"I want my son to have the best things in life. He gives me my drive."

Emma is also keen to support the community around Bognor Regis.

Her salon will be a beauty drop point where members of the public can leave health and beauty products to be donated to Beauty Banks.

THis is a charity which supports homeless people by distributing personal care and beauty products.

Goods such as cleansing wipes, shower gel, moisturiser and even nappies and baby health products will be welcome.

Emma is also offering a 20 per cent discount to former THomas Cook employees who have been affected by the holiday company's recent liquidation.

Full details of the offer can be seen at the Flirt and Flutter page on Facebook.

Saturday's opening saw Emma chat to visitors about her business. THe first 30 people who went along received goody bags.

THese included product samples, discounts, price lists and loyalty cards.

KIA WINS TOP MOTOR AWARDS 2019 THe Kia Picanto has been awarded Best Value Car at THe Sunday Times Motor Awards 2019. THe Kia Picanto launched in 2017 is on-sale from £9,895 with specification options including Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, Reversing Camera System with Dynamic Guidelines and 7"

Touchscreen Satellite Navigation with RDS & DAB. THe editors and writers of THe Sunday Times Driving and Driving.co.uk along with the experts from Times Luxx magazine and Sun Motors drew up shortlists for each of the categories. Readers of these titles

were then able to vote for their favourite cars online to choose the winner.

Other Kia models shortlisted for the awards included ProCeed for Best Family Car and Best Designed Car and e-Niro for Best Electric Car. Kia was also nominated for Best Manufacturer.

In addition to the Sunday Times Awards, Kia’s two largest SUVs have both come top in their respective categories in the What Car? ‘Used Car of the Year’ awards 2019.

Kia’s best-selling model in the UK, the Sportage, was placed top within ‘Best Used Family

SUV’, adding to its many other accolades of both new and used car awards. A popular choice with customers, the Sportage combines practicality with style, as noted by What Car? who praised the Sportage for its smart exterior and functionality. What Car? also commented on the strengths of the Sportage in terms of its reliability and value for money, which is backed by Kia’s transferable seven-year warranty.

In addition, the Sorento earned top place for ‘Best Used Large SUV’ and was commended for its competitive pricing in comparison to other SUVs in its class. What Car? said: “It’s well equipped, for starters, and, in terms of interior space, it’s simply enormous. What’s even more impressive is it’s more refined and practical than some rivals that cost an awful lot more.”

Kia was also a finalist for the ‘Best Used Car Scheme’ award.

Kia’s Used Approved scheme is ideal for used car buyers, covering vehicles which have been purchased at under 20 months old and with less than 20,000 miles on the clock. Customers receive a warranty that is topped back to the full seven years, one year’s free roadside assistance and Experian checked. THe scheme also guarantees a full service history as well as a 60-day exchange policy.

County leader stands down

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk COUNCILLOR Louise Goldsmith has announced she is to step down after almost ten years as leader of West Sussex County Council.

Cllr Goldsmith took the top political job at the council in May, 2010, and during that time spearheaded a number of new initiatives to boost the local economy, to create a more environmentally friendly county, to build strong communities and to increase the number of visitors to West Sussex.

THe leader stepped down on the day a damning report into the future of

children’s services was leaked.

With the care of the county’s most vulnerable children likely to be taken over by someone else, she apologised in her online blog that the service was a ‘very long way off from being good enough’.

Children’s services were rated inadequate by Ofsted in May, with the Department for Education appointing a commissioner to oversee improvements.

Despite the council showing early signs of confidence that things were heading in the right direction, the leaked report said an alternative way of delivering the service needed to be found because ‘the corporate conditions

f Cllr Louise Goldsmith

are not conducive to support and sustain genuine improvement’.

Cllr Goldsmith said: "I have put my heart and soul into being the leader of a county that I am so proud of. It is has been an honour and a privilege and I have loved every minute of it.

"However, it’s important to know when the time is right to take a step back and I want to hand over to a new leader so they can prepare for the next round of elections in good time."

During her leadership, Cllr Goldsmith secured economic growth deals with district and borough councils across West Sussex, backed a number of solar energy initiatives, and supported projects that saw thousands of new homes and businesses benefit from superfast broadband.

In her final leader’s blog published on Friday, Cllr Goldsmith said: "Making the decision to stand down as leader has been an incredibly hard and emotional one for me. I have loved the job even though sometimes it has been really challenging and difficult.

"In those dark times you are very much on your own. I have tried to do my best to promote the council and put our amazing communities at the heart of all the work it does.

"I have been so fortunate to have excellent cabinet members and members of my party who have supported me.

THey in turn have done so much for their communities and I have been truly inspired by their commitment.

"THe county council is made up of staff whose dedication and commitment shines through in so many ways. I thank them for all they do.

"In standing down as leader there is going to be a big hole in my life. I will

certainly have more time for other things - gardening, catching up with friends and campaigning on environmental issues to tackle climate change.

"I’ll be able to spend more time in my division, do some volunteering and start writing my book. THere’ll be no more of the leader’s blog from me but I will be setting up my own personal one.

"My thanks go to all those who have shown me kindness, support and respect and to those who have helped me when I have needed it most over the years. THere are too many to mention individually but thank you once again."

Ms Goldsmith will continue to represent residents in her division of Chichester West.

It is expected that a new leader will be elected at the next full council meeting on Friday next week.

Pension fight FIFTIES-BORN women in the Chichester and Bognor Regis have vowed to keep on fighting for a better pension.

THe Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) members said a court defeat would not mean the end of their campaign against 'unfair moves' by the government to equalise the state pension at 66.

THe High Court decision last week followed a judicial review by the Back to 60s pensions campaign group. THe case was backed by WASPI on behalf of its members born between 1950 and 1960.

Jill Robertson, the WASPI Bognor & Chichester South Coast Group coordinator, said the outcome was very disappointing.

"However, this decision does not cover

the maladministration case which is at the centre of the WASPI campaign.

"THe progress of our ongoing maladministration complaints with the Department for Work and Pensions and the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has been suspended pending this decision," she said.

"We know that both bodies will be considering the outcome and taking a decision on whether and how to proceed with our cases.

"We will also be taking legal advice on the implications for our mass maladministration complaint."

THe group would update its members with further information about its next steps in the campaign for justice for all 1950s-born women, she added.

Brexit laws could change harbour COPING with Brexit will be crucial to the future of Pagham Harbour, its site manager has said.

Steve Webster, of the RSPB, said the impact of Britain's departure from the European Union was uncertain on the various environmental laws which protect the local nature reserve.

THe wetland which runs from Pagham to Sidlesham is a recognised site under the Ramsar international convention to protect the valuable wildlife habitats around the globe.

It is also a site of special scientific interest and a special protection area because of the range of species which live there.

But Mr Webster said it was unknown how much difference the UK being outside of the EU would make.

THe RSPB had been told the relevant laws would carry on but no-one knew how the situation would develop.

“It's all very well having the legislation but it needs teeth and it needs funding,” he told the reserve's annual open meeting with the community last week.

THe meeting was told by a West Sussex County Council officer the authority had been informed that leaving Europe would affect 80 per cent of the work of the government's Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

“THat makes it even more important that the community stands up and says about the harbour,” said Mr Webster.

“It is essential that we engage with local communities and local parish councils.”

THe RSPB is preparing a new management plan for the harbour to

take effect from next March in its role as the manager of the local nature reserve for the county council.

Its current plan was extended after it expired two years ago to enable upgrading of the harbour's visitor facilities to be completed.

THe latest draft of its replacement includes the objective to maintain the present permanent wet and dry grasslands and to ensure the vegetative shingle survives.

THe plan also seeks to ensure the harbour can continue to thrive among the increased housebuilding which is proposed nearby in Pagham.

Mr Webster showed how the number of visitors to the harbour had grown from 12,000 in 2016 to 15,000 this year.

THey were all very satisfied or satisfied with their time there.

THe RSPB was proud of the harbour's success in rare little terns using an island for nesting. THis year had seen 21 nesting pairs with 13 fledged chicks compared to 13 pairs and 11 chicks in 2016.

“Pagham is one of the best breeding sites on the south coast for them,” he said.

“We have put in permanent antipredator fence and this has been very successful.

“We did some extensions to it last year because we were finding birds nesting outside the area because of the numbers coming in.”

Sandwich terns and black-headed gulls were also breeding in the reserve in growing numbers. However, the colony of common terns had declined slightly in the past year, he said.

f Guests at the Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice's anniversary ball

Special occasion helps to keep legal advice available

By Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk A 1940s-themed charity ball raised thousands of pounds in aid of a Bognor Regis and Chichester help service.

THose who supported the event staged

by Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice brought in £3,200 towards its services.

THe charity has offered free, impartial, confidential and independent advice nationally since 1939.

THis money will be used to help the people of Chichester and Bognor Regis, as well as Littlehampton, access free legal advice.

THe service at the Chichester Law

Centre will help to make up for the limited availability of Legal Aid thanks to the help of solicitors in the area.

A spokesman for Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice said: "We would like to thank the many local businesses that offered their support for the auction that took place on the night and the excellent raffle prizes."

People turn to Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice with all kinds of problems - debt, rent disputes, benefits advice and family breakdowns are among them.

THe vital help is available to everyone and is free to smart.

"Our advice changes because we are constantly adapting to the challenges

people face, from broadband bills to universal credit," the spokesman added.

"Whatever the problem, our amazing staff and volunteers do all they can to help people find their way forward.

"We are here for everyone and we will continue to help make things better."

THe service is based at East Pallant House in Chichester, Bognor Regis Town Hall and a drop-in service at the Arun Civic Centre in Littlehampton.

More volunteers are sought to help the service begin the next 80 years of its history. Anyone interested in helping should visit: arunchichestercab.org.uk/ volunteer/volunteering

Readers' letters are welcomed by the Bognor Regis Post.

They should be limited to less than 300 words and be submitted by 5pm on Monday to be considered for publication in that week's edition. We reserve the right to edit letters before they are published.

They should be emailed to: news@sussexpost.co.uk, posted to: Post Newspapers Ltd, 63 London Road, Bognor Regis, PO21 1DF or handed in to our office at this address.

Friday, October 11, 2019 Dear Editor, In response to David Box's letter in the Bognor Regis Post criticising the Liberal Democrats for openly declaring their opposition to Brexit, my response is that if he does not like a particular party's stance on any issue, he is perfectly at liberty not to vote for them.

As a country, we now have to decide which we want - parliamentary democracy or government by

referenda. THe two just do not mix.

I think it was a grevious error for David Cameron to allow the 2016 referendum.

Now his successors in the Conservative Party are tearing our country apart and threatening the rule of law. THis is a more serious issue even than Brexit.

Our ancestors, the lawmakers who set up our democratic processes, were wiser than us. THey knew that governing by popular referendum was a recipe for disaster.

THe whole Brexit debacle proves they were right. THey gave us a parliamentary democracy. We elect MPs to speak and make decisions on our behalf. If they change their manifestos once in office, they risk rejection by the electorate next time.

I know which kind of democracy I prefer.

A Jackman, Middleton on Sea

Dear Editor, Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

At 1am on a recent night, we were called out to a young deer - no bigger than a large German Shepherd dog - which had been hit by a vehicle in Charles Purley Way, Felpham.

Whoever hit it must have known. Yet they drove away and left it still alive at the scene.

Luckily, two kind women saw it and we were called. THe deer had a broken back and serious gouging to its rump and was taken to Alphapet Vets in West Meads where it was humanely put to sleep.

My question is - why would you leave an animal in that condition? It is callous and cruel. A quick call to the police would locate us and we could have got there faster.

THese creatures are peaceful animals and are struggling in our local environment to survive, with all the developments springing up around them.THey need sympathy, not callous murderers.

I am writing to say how much I enjoyed Blakefest in Bognor Regis recently, pictured here.

While the body art was truly amazing, the music and poetry in Studio I was well worth the ticket price of £8 for the whole afternoon and evening.

THe music got off to a good start with Song Box playing country folk-blues.

We then had a feast of moving poetry and the beautiful voice of Lucy Kitchen to take us to the evening.

Jazz instrumentalist Charlotte Glasson has so much talent she makes the music sing.

Noah's House band lightened the mood. THen we finished by dancing in the aisles to Sirens of Titan.

Blakefest is a wonderful family friendly event for the town and deserves our support.

Well done to all artists and organisers. Many thanks.

Jaine Wild, West Sussex Wildlife Protection, PO Box 3058, Littlehampton

In response to your articles about the proposed care home in Felpham, I wish to state publicly that I unequivocally support the building of the much-needed care facility.

I am a local resident who walks by the trees on a daily basis, so am totally aware of the situation. While I accept some local people object to the building works, many, many more local people are in favour.

I accept such issues such as sewage, parking, trees etc have to be looked at in detail, but surely we can work with Arun District Council to ensure a satisfactory outcome.

THe trees were given a tree preservation order notice by the council who are saying the new entrance will not affect their status.

Do we not trust that they know what they are about? Please do not allow the objections of a few affect the well being of many. After all - we may be pleased we have somewhere to go ourselves in a few years!

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK

October 11-17 RENÉE ZELLWEGER, in Judy, performs miracles playing Judy Garland: singing her heart out, baring her bruised soul and acting with a ferocity that ultimately rises to a state of grace. It’s winter 1968 and Judy’s in Swinging London for a sold-out run at Talk of the Town. But is she ready for the gruelling five week residency including battles with management, musicians and a love affair with Mickey, her next husband in line? Will wit, reminiscence and adoring fans help the ‘world’s greatest entertainer’ to continue to the top of her game?

From Spain comes The Candidate, following a politician whose high-class lifestyle, based on an illegal business, threatens to break his party when facts emerge in the media. Antonio de la Torre is magnetic as the man in question at the centre of a web of betrayal in Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s thriller.

An existential thriller about loss, trauma, statelessness and historical amnesia, Transit is the latest from the German director Christian Petzold, an electrifying, original filmmaker.

When German troops fast approach Paris, Georg escapes to Marseille with documents from an author who has taken his life in fear of his prosecutors. But when he falls in love with the dead author’s wife, things get a little complex.

For a mere £2, book a ticket to see Ruby Tuesday’s Bird, to continue the cinema’s 40th anniversary celebrations via landmark films. Bird features the 1940’s jazz great sax player Charlie Parker (Forrest Whittaker) whose troubled life is depicted with heart. Directed by Clint Eastwood.

Wallow in the many Performance Events this week: Don Giovanni, Mozart’s masterpiece from the Royal Opera House (Oct 11); Turandot, the dazzling Puccini opera from the Met (Oct 13, 18); One Man, Two Guvnors starring James Corden in one of the funniest National Theatre’s productions (Oct 14); Gaugin from the National Gallery, an

hour-long documentary plus 30 minute private view of the gallery (Oct 15, 17), and the Bridge Theatre’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream with a feuding fairy king and queen and four breathless runaway lovers plus a troupe of actors trying to rehearse a play (Oct 17).

NEW RELEASE

Gemini Man

Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller Screened at Picturedrome Cinema TWO-TIME Academy award-winning filmmaker Ang Lee returns with an innovative action-thriller that uses sophisticated de-ageing visual effects to pit present-day Will Smith against a younger version of himself. Henry Brogan (Will Smith), the greatest assassin of his generation, is done. But his one-time mentor, Clay Verris (Clive Owen) has other ideas.

Years earlier, Clay isolated Henry’s DNA and created a clone of his prodigy. And the only way to truly test his creation – a 23-year-old called Junior (also played by Smith, integrating mo-cap for a seamless result) – is to have him murder the original.

Facing a much younger and more resilient version of himself, who can also predict his every move, Henry must use every skill borne from 30 years of experience to survive. As cinema skews so heavily to monster carnage and Marvel superheroes, Gemini Man is set to be the most original action franchise of the decade. It’s good to be excited about Will Smith again; now two for the price of one.

Joker

Crime, Drama, Thriller Screened at Picturedrome Cinema DIRECTOR Todd Phillips' original, standalone origin story Joker explores the world of, and according to, Arthur Fleck. Indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, Arthur is a man facing the cruelty and outright scorn of society, along with the indifference of a system that allows him to spiral from vulnerability to depravity. A clown-for-hire by day, he strives to be a stand-up comic at night... but finds that the joke always seems to be on him.

He's out of tune with everyone around him, as evidenced by his uncontrollable, inappropriate laughter, which gains momentum as he attempts to contain it, exposing him to further ridicule and even violence. Arthur, who devotes himself to caring for his fragile mother, seeks out every father figure he's never had, from wealthy businessman Thomas Wayne to TV host Murray Franklin. Caught in a cyclical existence teetering on the precipice of reality and madness, one bad decision brings about a chain reaction of escalating, ultimately deadly, events. Decidedly dark, deeply unnerving, and undeniably intriguing, this new take on the Joker asks audiences to put on a happy face, but when the curtain drops on this hotly-anticipated and Oscar-tipped offering, Arthur’s psychotic deeds may turn those smiles upside down.

THE scene is set one Summer in La Ciotat, a town near Marseille which used to be prosperous thanks to its huge dockyard but has been in decline since its closure 25 years before. It is in this context of quiet desperation that a writing workshop has been set up to help a group of seven young people integrate into the world of work.

Under the guidance of well-known novelist Olivia Dejazet, the participants are asked to write a noir fiction connected with the industrial past of their hometown. Session after session, one of them, a boy named Antoine, stands out. Provocative and aggressive, he gets noticed by his systematic opposition to all, including Olivia. Even more alarming, the story he has devised and that he reads aloud, the cold description of a mass murder seen through the eyes of its perpetrator, proves very disturbing. Antoine understands the killer too well. At this point, Olivia starts experiencing a feeling of attraction repulsion to Antoine.

Murder mystery and music events at Stansted

Starry, starry nights with autumn shows at Planetarium THE magical rural mansion of Stansted House, near Rowlands Castle, is the setting for a murder mystery event this weekend.

Imagine being invited to a mysterious country estate by an enigmatic host… with a room of curious guests, your host never appears... the clock is ticking, and you must work as a team to investigate what happened. Well, that is exactly what will happen when you join Torchlight Mysteries.

Use your best sleuthing skills to piece together the trail of clues as you make your way around the house, and after you have interrogated the suspects, you will have just one hour to reach your conclusion as tea and coffee are served.

THis thrilling team activity can involve families, friends or work colleagues in a group with a prize for the best solution over the weekend.

THere are sessions on each evening, at 7.30pm and 9pm, on Friday, October 11 and Saturday, October 12. Tickets at £15 can

be booked at: eventbrite.co.uk and more information is on the Torchlight Mysteries website.

Regular musical evenings have been held at Stansted for ten years with the next being on THursday, October 17, at 7.30pm when the house's Music Room will host Jennifer Parker-Lummis in ‘Soprano à La Mode’ with songs and aria by Bach, Puccini, Offenbach, Bobby Darin, Lehrer and THe Rolling Stones.

Jennifer started singing at the age of 11 and went on to study classical soprano voice at South Downs College and graduated from THe Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in 2001. She has written, directed and performed four successful onewoman shows and is a prolific performer giving funny and informative operatic demonstrations at restaurants and to a wide range of groups.

Tickets are £10, including interval refreshments, and are available by calling 023 9241 2265 and select option 4.

WITH darker evenings as winter approaches, now's an ideal time to visit the South Downs Planetarium and learn more about the fascinating universe of which we are part.

Magnificently-ringed planet Saturn moves into the sunset glow, with, not far behind to the south-west, giant gas planet Jupiter making spectacular viewing, rising steadily throughout autumn in the pre-dawn eastern skies.

Autumn Stars, Moon and Planets is the lecture topic tonight (Friday) at 7.30pm. THe 45-minute show will

be repeated on October 20, at 3.30pm, and the 25th, at 7.30pm.

You don't have to travel to the Arctic Circle to experience the Northern Lights because the phenomenon is recreated at the planetarium where the audience can also understand how eruptions on the sun cause the displays and how these are visible from the ground as faint glows, coloured arcs or, at their most spectacular, coloured rays and bands of auroral light dancing back and forth across the night sky.

THese shows are at the Kingsham Road, Chichester (PO19 8AE) site, next to Chichester High School, on Friday, October 18, at 7.30pm, and Sunday, October 27, at 3.30pm.

Voyage to Saturn, Lord of the Rings is the topic on Sunday, October 13, at 3.30pm.

Admission price for all shows are £7 for adults, £5 for children6-16. Visit: southdowns.org.uk to book and for other details about the Planetarium and space centre.

Iconic folk icon Julie is an inspiration EVERYONE thinks she's British but in fact she was born in the USA although she's lived over here since the 1960s.

Iconic folk singer Julie Felix was among the vanguard of the new folk music movement nearly six decades ago but like many of her contemporaries she's still performing today. On Saturday, October 19, she appears at Emsworth Baptist Church as part of the current WemsFest Music Season.

Artistic director Mark Ringwood explained: "Julie arrived in the UK in 1964 and became the first solo folk performer when she signed to a major label, Decca, that same year. She was the first folk singer to sell-out the 5,000-seat Royal Albert Hall and became the resident singer on BBCTV's 'THe Frost Report', hosted by the late David Frost.

"She went on to host several TV shows and had chart success with 'If I Could' and 'Going to the Zoo' and simply fell in love with England and never wanted to return.

At the age of 81 she's quite remarkable

Hit musical numbers will raise roof and should be an inspiration to the demographic of the people living in and around Emsworth that life is really worth living."

Her Baptist church show starts at 8pm and tickets are available from Bookends, High Street, Emsworth, online at: wegottickets. com, and on the door.

WITH a 26-piece orchestra on stage and a cast of more than 40, BROS Musical Productions will be raising the roof of the Alexandra THeatre next week.

Earlier this year, award-winning BROS sold out the theatre with their spectacular version of ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ and now they are back with 'THe Sound of Musicals'.

From show-stopping solos to rousing ensemble numbers, this show is packed with some of the biggest numbers from the West End and Broadway.

It will feature songs from hit musicals such as ‘Mamma Mia’, ‘Mary Poppins’, ‘Sunset Boulevard’, ‘42nd Street’ and ‘Wicked’ – plus new hit shows including ‘Waitress’, ‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’ and ‘Come From

Away’.

THe programme will also be have performances of little known musical theatre gems plus hit songs from movie musicals.

As well as talented adults leading the cast, a number of youngsters from Barnham-based Knightstar Productions will be making an important contribution to what promises to be an exciting and enjoyable trip to the theatre.

Performances of THe Sound of Musical are from Wednesday, October 16, to Saturday, October 19, each evening at 7.30pm, with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.

All tickets are £15.50 and can be booked online at: alexandratheatre.co.uk or by calling the box office on 01243 861010.

This month is the ideal time to plant hedges and move shrubs and trees.

Health&Wellbeing

Mindful ways to live your life well.

Do you have a thought you would like to share with others?

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

Prevention is better than cure www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@thewellbeingcompanyltd. com PLEASE don’t quote me on this, as I heard it in the background on the radio one day when I got in the car this week, and you know what it’s like when you are half listening, but also concentrating on your destination!

THe gist of the conversation was that they were talking about a woman who had lived until she was 112, and a few years ago in an interview she was asked what her secret to longevity was. She had no ailments or illness at that time.

Apparently, her reply was that she had eaten an egg every day of her life since being a child and had a small tipple every night! Is there something in this? Or was it simply that she had good genes?

Who knows why one of us is more likely than another to get a certain disease, if at

all? However, one of the biggest health challenges we face today is Alzheimer's disease and apparently the number of sufferers is going to grow at an alarming rate over the coming years if we don’t try and do something about it.

Alzheimer's, and similar conditions such as Parkinson's and dementia, are extremely complex neurodegenerative diseases with a wide range of causes.

Over the past few years, as research grows, we are fast learning that diet and lifestyle plays a massive role in the prevention and progression of Alzheimer's disease (even earning it the nickname "type 3 diabetes").

It is one nutrient in particular, called choline, which appears to be attracting much attention in being linked to play a crucial role in preventing the neurological changes that occur with these particular diseases.

Choline is needed to produce acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter for memory, mood,

muscle control, and other brain and nervous system functions. Overactive microglia (glial cell) are a key factor in many neurodegenerative diseases and have been connected to the common symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Choline also helps prevent Alzheimer's in another way as well by blocking the production of amyloid-beta plaques, which are considered the hallmark pathology observed in Alzheimer's disease. THese two actions could also be helpful for treating other conditions such as traumatic brain injuries, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis.

THe current recommended daily intake for choline is 425 mg/day for adult women and 550 mg/day for adult men.

But the question is, are those numbers high enough to prevent the neurological

changes that occur with Alzheimer's disease, especially in women?

To get more choline, you can either regularly consume more choline-rich foods or add a supplement to your daily diet.

So how much choline should you take?

In studies up to 4.5 times the RDI, (which is still well below the tolerable upper limit and the amount that can begin to cause side effects), have been taken, showing some positive results. (Please check with your GP if you have any concerns, or think this supplement would be good for you).

But if we are just to simply up our intake of choline rich foods, what would they be?

1. Eggs contain 147 mg in one large egg with yolk. (So maybe there was something in the woman's daily egg eating!)

2. Grass-fed beef steak contains 55 mg per 3 oz.

3. Wheat germ contains 51 mg per 1 oz.

4. Milk contains 38 mg per 8 oz.

5. Brussels sprouts contain 32 mg per ½ cup.

If those aren't on your "favourite foods list”, then don’t despair! You can use a supplement as mentioned. Supplements typically take the form of choline bitartrate and choline chloride, which are available at most health foods shops, and online, and they are reasonably priced.

Alzheimer's has so much to do with nutrition and lifestyle, and the more things that are discovered, the better it could be, giving those who are at risk for Alzheimer's an action step that's simple and inexpensive to implement. It’s got to be worth a try.

CLASSIC car owners have pushed their fundraising at an annual event closer to £40,000.

Just under £6,000 was raised at the latest Regis TAP (Tour And Picnic) held by Bognor Regis Motor Club.

Club press officer Ali Green said £4,500 had been raised for its chosen good cause the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance.

THis was boosted by the fees from their visits to two of the venues on the day last month being given to their charities.

"Over £36,619.64 has been raised for charity since the TAP started nine years ago," said Ali. "And the team plan to go on

A COUNTYWIDE campaign launched in Bognor Regis is aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of older people.

Age Well got underway at the Age UK West Sussex's Laburnum Centre at the start of this month.

Taster sessions, which included dancing and balance classes, were on offer as part of a challenge among users of Age UK centres across Sussex to see if they were able to clock up a massive 1,000 hours of activity on older people's day.

THe event will also saw the launch of a new survey, which will run throughout October, asking people what they think West Sussex is like as a place to grow old.

THe survey aims to find out what older residents currently do, or might want to do, to stay healthy, happy and independent.

Age Well is a West Sussex Health and Wellbeing Board initiative, being delivered by West Sussex County Council, working with partners such as Age UK and similar organisations.

Cllr Bryan Turner, pictured above, who chairs the county council's health and social care committee, attended the launch at the centre in Lyon Street.

He said: "It's been great to meet some of the people here today and hear first-hand what's important to them in later life.

"I'd encourage everyone to take part in the survey so we can hear from others across West Sussex."

West Sussex Health and Wellbeing Board chairman Cllr Amanda Jupp said: "West Sussex is already a great place to live and we just want to make it even better for our growing number of older residents.

"Age Well is all about celebrating those residents and what they can offer. So, it only seems right that we ask them for their suggestions that can help other people now and in the future.

Helen Rice, chief executive at Age UK West Sussex, said: "We're delighted West Sussex County Council joined us to celebrate older people's day.

"Our aim is to help people make the most of later life and our centres across West Sussex do just that.

"We offer everything from language and exercise classes, to crafts, holistic massage and dancing. THere's something for everyone and new members are always welcome."

THe Age Well survey can be seen on the county council's website - westsussex.gov.uk - until the October 31 closing date.

MORE life-saving fridges are to be built in Bognor Regis.

A new production centre is being constructed at Polestar Cooling's factory in the town, pictured below, to expand the production of solar-powered vaccine refrigerators.

THese will help to overcome a situation where the World Health Organisation estimates 50 per cent of vaccines are wasted during the course of immunisation programmes around the globe.

Guy Watson, the head of international operations at Polestar Cooling's parent company, Dulas, said: "THere are 1.5 million avoidable deaths each year that can be addressed through immunisation programmes supported by reliable cold chain technology and training."

Dulas has recently hosed a number of its international partners in the chain of supply which ensures vaccines are available around the world where they are needed.

A consistent chain of conditions between 2C and 8C in transport and storage is difficult to maintain when trying to reach children.

Vaccines stored in other temperatures have to be destroyed.

To help to avoid this, Dulas' expert term in Machynlleth in North Wales trained partners from Benin, Ethiopia, Togo, Nigeria, Pakistain and Madagascar in installation, health and safety and environmental standards.

A SUSSEX coastal road trip on the internet has called into Bognor Regis.

VisitVideos' #SussexCoastSeries is a ten episode YouTube series which follows a trio of explorers as they make their way along the shoreline.

THe second episode, which featured Bognor Regis and Earnley, was released last THursday. Yesterday's episode focused on Arundel and Littlehampton.

THe presenters - Charlie Shakespeare, Lizzie Burder and Sam Peterson, pictured below - explored different modes of transport during their journey and had some fun at the same time.

Among their experiences was travelling on the seafront train along Bognor Regis promenade.

Sam said: "We had such a great time filming along the Sussex coast. THe best thing for me was getting to drive a miniature train. But we got to experience so many awesome things along the way."

THeir trail started across the county boundary in Portsmouth and went east through Chichester, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Arundel. THree episodes are centred on Brighton before the trio continue eastwards to finish in Hastings.

ChangingTimes

By Sylvia Endacott

Snapshots of past tell us about town history Postcards show us views which have long since gone I HAVE written about postcards many times, and as a collector that is what you would expect. THese small pieces of cardboard can tell us so much about our life and times from their conception in the 1870s.

Originally, the postcard had one image and was a way of saying ‘Wish you were here’, this is what our holiday destination is offering us. Over the years, their use has totally developed into promotion events, items, places, holidays, hobbies and so much more.

It was, therefore, inevitable that because of the widening of their use, manufacturers and shops saw an opportunity to not only increase their businesses but to provide more information to the sender, the

recipient and, of course, the postman en route.

THere were many postcard publishers over the years, some of whom compiled sets of postcards on one particular artist.

THis was the case in Devon where there was a Sydney Endacott, no relation, who was an artist of places around the Exeter area.

Other companies developed, with the increasing use of aircraft aerial shots of our countryside, which are most useful to local history today, as we can see the development of villages into towns. We can spot where we live – which was one of my first postcards of Bognor Regis.

To advertise and promote a business what better way than to produce a postcard with

One postcard had the title 'On Top Of The World here in Bognor Regis'

f A view of the newly opened Butlin's in Bognor Regis

f The always attractive Marine Park Gardens

f Views of the town from some 50 years ago

an image of your organisation to be used in sending messages to the customer? I suppose today this could be seen almost as the messages on Facebook that keep popping up because we are aware of the product.

Another development was the movement into cards for occasions, like birthdays, Christmas, new year and Easter – cute little images to be sent around the family. THese all eventually developed into the massive card industry that we have today selling thousands of cards through shops.

We should not forget that Raphael Tucks, the postcard publishers, in the early 1900s, at one time had 2,000 shops around the country purely selling postcards.

THen along came the idea of multiple images, either on the card or those cards with a small flap on the front, which you lifted to reveal a further 12 pictures of somewhere or something.

One such was produced here in Bognor Regis to advertise a new development, that of the Newton Estate. Each individual picture showed a different aspect of the new houses. THe postcard image was of the beach, enticing purchasers to the area.

Over the years, there have been many publishers in our area. In fact, 21 people and companies were listed, who have provided us with an excellent look back in time. THe major players were Edward Lawrence Wood, Webster and Webb, Briant Burgess, and WP Marsh – his specialty was ‘high seas'.

Another idea was to have a house style.

THis could be borders around the images in a symmetrical format – one such company who did this was JMJ of Grimsby, (J.M. Jackson & Son).

Another was the multiple images, as shown this week. I was sorting through my cards and came across these three, long since forgotten. On the reverse of these cards it simply states: ‘THis is a St Albans Series real photograph,’ and these were sent in the 1960s the ‘Bognor Regis – just my cup of tea,’ was used in the conventional sense but also by views of Butlin's in 1964.

It shows the gardens that were on the prom and some of the gardens within the centre. THis was sent to friends in Bath with the message 'Plenty to do at Butlins, doing mostly swimming and resting, which I have the chance to do'. We should remember that Butlins had only opened on its present

site in 1960, so was still a relatively new attraction.

‘On Top Of THe World here in Bognor Regis' shows the prom at the bottom of West Street with the pier in the background. THe other picture shows Marine Park Gardens.

I have two of these cards with very different messages, one sent in 1962 saying ‘We are now having Bed and Breakfast at a very nice place, lovely food good beds. We have just booked up for the whole week’.

THis person was staying in Gloucester Road.

THe other card sent in 1963 to friends in Sutton is a litany of ill health, hospitals etc., but is obviously the easiest means of telling friends and family your news. No Twitter, email or Facebook then.

THe final card, ‘Gone to Bognor Regis’ shows a phrase used by numerous companies. ‘No scrubbing floors, no washing up, no daily chore to do, enjoying myself? I’ll say I have.’

Here they have included the images within everyday items, the bucket, washing machine etc. So, while remembering the sending of the message, they have included ‘Floral Garden (Marine Park Gardens), THe Beach and THe Front, at the bottom of West Street - this particular image being used on all three cards.

Postcards are our snapshot on the past, giving us an insight into the way of life, holidays and communications.

It is very difficult for young people to understand how we all sent messages between friends and family without the mobile phone.

How people went to the railway station to go to work and would send a postcard to the butcher requesting a purchase to be delivered that evening and available on their return home.

THere were so many collections and deliveries per day.

Even the postcard from your holidays home and abroad are on the decline as now, of course, with our mobile phone, we can stand, take the picture, message it with the ‘wish you were here’ or 'this is the view from our bedroom’ - the later remark in the past was denoted on a postcard with a cross on the window of your B&B or hotel if you were able.

One company - J Salmon - has closed as a postcard publisher after 140 years. So how will future generations understand our lives?

Bowers next for City in cup CHICHESTER CITY are just one step away from the FA Cup first round after striking late to chalk up a pulsating victory over high ranked Enfield Town in front of a record crowd.

Miles Rutherford's side continue to exceed all expectations in their first season at step four of the non-league pyramid.

Chi currently sit seventh in the Isthmian South East division with games in hand on sides around them.

But it is the FA Cup where they are attracting most attention, winning through to the fourth qualifying round of the competition for the first time in the club's history.

A late Lloyd Rowlatt goal was enough to seal victory for City over Isthmian Premier side Enfield in front of a crowd of more than 500 at Oaklands Park.

THe result was a major upset against a team who are flying

high in the league above Chi and arrived in Sussex off the back of six successive wins.

For long-time followers of football in Chichester, the run is bringing back memories of the 1960/1, when the city's side were defeated 11-0 by Bristol City.

Standing in the way of Chi's current crop of players equalling this feat is Isthmian Premier outfit Bowers & Pitsea, who Rutherford's side will visit next Saturday (October 19, 3pm) in a much-anticipated clash.

First team coach Danny Potter said, “We would have been delighted with a home tie but we’ll prepare as we have done so far in the competition to see what we can do to put ourselves in the hat for the next round."

Despite the gulf in class on paper, Chi proved to be more than a match for Enfield.

Both sides spurned chances in each half with the game looking set to go to a replay.

f Scott Jones wins a header for Chi against Enfield

NEXT GAME

f City now head to Essex in the next round But with less than five minutes to go Rowlatt grabbed the winner, his shot ricocheting off a defender after a slick move.

Oaklands Park erupted.

THere was the odd scare or two in time added on but the hosts, who haven’t conceded now in their last four FA Cup matches, hung on for another memorable victory in this history making run.

Of the 368 teams that entered the competition in the extra preliminary round back in August Chi are the only one still left in the competition.

THey also bagged more than ÂŁ17,000 in prize money for the club.

But most importantly they are one win away from the first round proper, a feat achieved only once by a Chichester City side.

Rutherford's side did not have long to bask in their FA Cup glory.

THey returned to action in midweek in the Velocity Trophy, defeating league rivals THree Bridges away 6-2.

A hat trick from Josh Clack, a brace from George Cody and a Jamie Horncastle strike earned the win for the club.

THe victory means Chi are now unbeaten in five in all competitions ahead of a trip to

Bedfordshire tomorrow (3pm) for the next round of the FA Trophy to play Barton Rovers.

And officials at the club believe the result against Enfield will have nothing but a good impact on everyone involved at Oaklands Park Potter said: “THe whole mood is just very positive, from the involvement of the supporters to the way a lot of people at the club behind the scenes came together for the occasion.

"All that was a huge advert for what we can do at this football club.

"And I think the players stood up and were counted on the pitch as well to highlight just how far we’ve come in the last two to three years to show that we’re now at a stage where we can be competitive and beat some very good sides.�

--Subject to demand Chichester City will be running at least two coaches to Essex for the Bowers & Pitsea tie.

To encourage as many supporters as possible, the decision has been made to subsidise the cost of the coach to allow tickets to be available for just ÂŁ10.

Barton Rovers (A) Tomorrow (Saturday October 12), at 3pm

Blues winless run continues SELSEY will be looking to get their season back on track and end a winless streak of six matches when they host Shoreham tomorrow (3pm).

Daren Pearce's Blues side had a good start to the SCFL Division One campaign, losing once in their opening five league matches.

But a 4-0 loss to leaders Littlehampton Town a month ago has started a run of half a dozen games with no victory. THis has seen Blues drop to tenth, nine points off a place in the top three.

With Pearce keen to get his young side back on track, one of the sides above them - Shoreham - will be visitors to the Bunn Leisure Community Stadium tomorrow.

THen in midweek there is a visit to SCFL Premier side Steyning Town in the Peter Bentley Cup on Tuesday (7.45pm), a side who have won their last seven in all competitions which includes a 4-1 win over the Blues in the RUR Cup. First up, though, is Shoreham. THe recently-relegated Musselmen have had an inconsistent start to life back at Step Five but seem to have turned the corner, winning their last two matches.

Blues though will be determined to correct their errors of late, a theme which continued

on Saturday when they were defeated 2-0 at Bexhill United.

Selsey did not recover from a slow start which saw the Rams go into an early lead through Sammy Bunn before Jack Shonk added a penalty on 20 minutes.

Ryan Morey and Max Davies both had good chances to reduce the deficit before

the break but it just was not meant to be for the Blues.

Pearce will also be sweating on injuries to Jordan Warren and Davies, both of whom had to come off in the Bexhill defeat.

f Selsey lost 2-0 at Bexhill

Lions look for a cup lift after another league loss PAGHAM will be hoping to continue their fine run in knockout competitions in the hope that it will help bolster their struggling league form.

THe Lions are currently second-bottom of the SCFL Premier as Bob Paine's young side continue to find their feet.

Pagham continued a theme of good performances but without picking up any points last weekend when they were unlucky to lose 1-0 to secondtop Peacehaven & Telscombe.

Paine's side will have some respite this weekend, though, when their attention turns to the Peter Bentley Cup with Pagham heading to Eastbourne United (3pm).

Knockout competitions seem to have brought out the best in the young Lions so far this term, with three of their four wins coming in cups.

To get a positive result Paine will be hoping his side can improve their conversion rate, with ten league matches so far delivering just six goals.

THat poor form continued last weekend when Pagham had a prime opportunity to take points off a Peacehaven side who played much of the match with ten men.

It was the home side which

started the stronger and Pagham keeper Tom Crook had to make several smart saves to keep them at bay.

Peacehaven got what proved to be the winning goal in the 26th minute.

Mike Lloyd raced down the right, cut inside and saw his cross deflect off Dylan Jelley, which completely wrong footed the Lions keeper.

THe game swung Pagham’s way four minutes later when home defender Scott Marshall was sent off after a studs up knee-high tackle on Jared Rance.

Although Lions dominated the game for the rest of the first half, they were unable to cause too much trouble for the home defence.

THat continued in the second period as Rance and Chalaye both were denied and Lions - much to their frustration were unable to make their man advantage count --In SCFL Division Two Bosham host Wadhurst United in the Sussex Intermediate Cup tomorrow (3pm) looking to reverse a run of three matches without a win.

THe Robins suffered a heavy 7-0 loss to Copthorne last time out in the league.

Sportinbrief î ?

Football CHICHESTER CITY Ladies' poor start to the season continued as they were outclassed in a south coast derby against Portsmouth.

More than 250 people packed into Oaklands Park for the hotly-anticipated match in the Women's National Southern Premier.

With a number of former Chi players lining up in the Pompey blue, it proved to be a feisty encounter played in good spirits.

But it was the visitors who prevailed, creating a series of chances on their way to a 4-1 victory.

Charmaine True gave Pompey the lead after ten minutes before Becki Bath

doubled it shortly after.

Chi pulled one back before the break when captain Megan Fox continued the trend of only scoring spectacular goals.

But Pompey wrapped up the three points after the break, former City player Jade Widdows converting a penalty before Rosie McDonnell wrapped up the win.

It means Chi remain third bottom in the standings with just one point from their opening seven matches of the season.

Sadie Blakely's side now have a week off to regroup before returning to league action at bottom-side Keynsham Ladies on October 27 when they look to break a winless run.

Darts LAST year's Summer Darts League Division Two Pairs final saw Adam Judd and Adam Hall take the title.

But this year they were opponents as Hall teamed up with his mother Rachel (Aldingbourne Mavericks) while Judd joined Paula Duckett (Aldingbourne Mavericks) to form a good partnership.

THe final saw Hall win the bullseye, but they got off to a slow start, which didn't help after a 140 from Judd.

Eventually, Rachel Hall hit 124 to catch up, but with only two darts, Duckett hit double top for the leg.

Adam Hall hit a 140 and 100 in leg 2, but with his opponents not far behind he hit double top with his first dart, making it one all.

Leg 3 saw Adam Hall hit another ton, but Judd and Duckett both hit tons on the trot, with Judd hitting 120 with his next throw.

All the players started missing the double, but eventually Rachel Hall hit double 10.

Judd hit a ton in leg 4, but eventually Adam Hall hit a 140, then all the players started missing the doubles again.

Eventually, Adam Hall hit double 16 to take the match 3-1, and taking the Division 2 Pairs Champions title 2019.

PBs a plenty at Chi half marathon ALL eyes for the Bognor Tone Zone Running Club were on the South Downs this week as more than 30 members completed the tough Chichester Half Marathon.

THe course starts by Chichester College before taking the really challenging climb up to the top of the Trundle, before heading down back onto Centurion way for a fast finish back into the city.

Callum Aldous ran an impressive race to finish fourth overall in 1 hour 25 seconds (1:25) just ahead of team mate Christo Oosthuizen (1:26), who was first in his category.

THree ladies from the club finished in the top 10 and 2 were just outside meaning out of the first 12 ladies 5 of them were Tone Zone runners!

Kari Mack sped up the Trundle to finish 3rd lady overall with a time of 1 hour 31 minutes while Juliet Stallard recorded a personal best of 1 hour 34 minutes and was third in her category.

Jessica THomson was fourth in her category with a 1:38 and not far behind were Sarah Zacal and Carolyn Stapely who finished in 1:42 and 1:44 respectively.

Glenn Penfold (1:51) and Natalie Tribe

(1:55) while Lee Hayward made his debut at the distance in an impressive time of 2:07.

Kirstee Porter ran the race with fellow club mate Karen Vilday smiling and waving the whole way round with Porter achieving a PB of 2:09.

Also running their first halfs were Rebecca Holden (2.32) and Tina Ede (2:44).

Lisa Robinson was running in the Chichester 10 mile race on the same day, finishing in a time of 1:47 while Deb Jane, Michelle Lloyd and Donna Vincent took on the half marathon relay and finished in a combined time of 2 hours 10 minutes.

Across the coast were Neil Strudwick and Byron Kearns taking on the Bournemouth Marathon. Despite a disrupted training through injury Kearns finished in a new personal best of 3:18, two minutes faster than his target.

Strudwick was aiming to qualify for the Commrades which will take part next year in South Africa. Strudwick achieved his goal and finished in 4:32.

Tony Hancock was also running a marathon this weekend, over in Jersey finishing in a time of 4:23.

Beckenham next as Blues look for a win

f Action from the Greens' 31-21 Wimborne win

Bognor colts make history IT was a momentous day on Sunday as Bognor Colts Academy became the only club in Sussex to field two teams.

THe Purples, featuring three sets of twins, sealed a 17-17 draw against Havant, with the Wright brothers both scoring tries.

Meanwhile, the Greens continued their unbeaten start to the season with a bonus point victory over a talented and well drilled Wimborne side.

Bognor started brightly against the Dorset side as scrum half Alfie Spurle fed Elvis Millen who audaciously chipped the full back before using his express pace to touch down.

Charlie Weller, Ethan Teasdale and Fin Glass were bossing the scrum and laying a platform for the backs to attack.

Centre Jack Hickman fed Cellan Robinson who passed his opposite number and cut inside the fullback to score.

Bognor then took their feet off the pedal, making errors and allowing Wimborne three quick converted tries either side of half time.

Bognor responded. Flankers Harrison Southern and Benjamin Barker acted as the links before Gus Haplik put fellow centre Tyrone Masaki into space. THe flyer stood up the visitors fullback before skating over. Converted and a four point game.

Bognor cut down the errors and began to play with more intensity. Spurle sniped and offloaded to Robinson, who took six players over the line to score.

Glass and Jamie Foote both carried superbly using footwork and power to suck in defenders.

A thrust from Dylan Giles allowed Masaki room to canter over for his second try in the corner. Decarteret again converted to seal the 31-21 win.

Coach Tom Spurle was happy with the result but knows there is still much room for improvement.

He said: “We are still only playing with intensity for 40 minutes, this will increase as the season moves on. Well done to all the lads.�

Bognor travel to Portsmouth on Sunday for their fourth league game.

CHICHESTER RFC welcome newly promoted Beckenham to Oaklands Park tomorrow (3pm) looking to convert positive performances into victories.

After five matches in the London One South season, Blues sit seventh after winning two and losing three of their games so far.

But, as can so often be the case, the table does not tell the whole truth with Chi rallying to produce battling performances in defeats against London Cornish and leaders Westcombe Park last time out.

Chi will have the chance to level up their record tomorrow when they welcome Beckenham to Oaklands.

Blues will head into the match as firm favourites as the newly-promoted side have won just once so far.

But they will need to tighten up in defence while stopping their slow start to matches which leaves them with lots to do in the second half.

THat theme continued against Westcombe Park last weekend as the side coached by former Chi man Rob Lawrence brought their unblemished record to Sussex.

THe visitors started the brighter of the two

teams, jumping out to a 19-0 lead before Blues scrum half Harry Seaman got Chi on the board before the break.

After a scrappy start to the second half, Chi reduced the lead further when Rhys THompson collected a Shaun Baker chip to touch down. 14-19.

Westcombe responded with a try of their own before Blues had the most dominant period of the game. After a series of pick and goes it was Ben Deavall who stretched over the line to dot down. 19-24.

Coombe once again hit back, this time with a penalty. With six minutes left the visitors crossed the whitewash for their fifth try of the afternoon to make it 19-34.

But Chi continued to push forward and bagged a bonus point when Gingell crossed the line, supported by Wallace and Ben Polhill. 26-34 final score and there was relief for the contingent of Coombe fans when the referee blew the whistle for full time!

--Bognor RFC return to league action tomorrow, heading to Millbrook in Hampshire Premiership. THe Purple and Greens, who are eighth in the standings, had a bye week last time out.

Rocks urged to pick up where they left off

as win

Park loss

f Action versus Leatherhead | pics: T McMillan

NEXT GAME

BOGNOR coach Robbie Blake wants his side to pick up where they left off following two fantastic home wins over Haringey Borough and Leatherhead.

Rocks had a rare Saturday off last week thanks to their early exit from the FA Cup. THe break probably came at the worst time for the club as, after a difficult start to the Isthmian Premier campaign, the club had started to pick up.

Two home wins in four days had lifted the Rocks from the relegation zone into 12th spot after nine games.

But crucially the feel of the side had changed, with a more stable defence giving the team confidence that they could attack and get their just rewards.

Now the challenge from Rocks manager Jack Pearce and coach Blake is for the squad to keep the good times going at home to Potters Bar Town tomorrow (3pm).

Blake said: “We’ve enjoyed a tremendous turnaround in the past two games and we need to try to keep that momentum going on Saturday when we play Potters Bar. "THe two previous results have been so encouraging and for me, one of the most pleasing aspects from both games was the desire of players.

"And the reaction of the supporters who stayed to clap the players off the pitch tells you how pleasing it was for all of us at the club.”

Rocks will have a new face between the sticks for tomorrow's match as Reading keeper Myles Roberts joined the club.

THe young stopper met up with his new teammates this week for training after standin replacement James Holden switched to Isthmian League South Central Division Bracknell Town.

He is expected to make his debut in front of a big home crowd with Bognor backing the Non-League Day celebrations while raising money for Prostate Cancer UK. THe club is offering entry for just £5 for Emergency Services and Armed Forces personnel (ID card required) as well as admitting all under 16s for free.

Whyke United Under 9s and Bognor Regis Town Under 9s will act as mascots before the match before taking part in a half-time penalty shoot out.

Rocks general manager Simon Cook said: "Non-League Day is a superb way to showcase all that is good about our game and we hope to see as many people come along on the day to back the cause and cheer on the Rocks."

Potters Bar Town (H) Tomorrow (Saturday, October 12), at 3pm

Bognor's frontline start firing IT'S taken two months but finally the Rocks' formidable frontline has started firing.

In Dan Smith, Jimmy Muitt and Bradley Lethbridge, Bognor have three forwards who are the envy of many of the sides in Isthmian Premier.

It's taken a while but it looks like the trio have now started clicking, bagging seven goals in their last two matches - nearly half the Rocks' total of 15 which have been notched in nine league games so far.

THey have a long way to go to match last season's combined total of more than 50 goals scored in all competitions.

With tenth placed Potters Bar Two visiting Nyewood Lane tomorrow, Smith, Muitt and Lethbridge will have further success in their sights.

If they continue to create as many chances as they did against Haringey and Leatherhead, then few would best against them.

However, the Rocks will have to push on without the services of Dan Simmonds, who has left the club in search of first team football.

THe former Pagham attacker, who is prolific at SCFL level, signed for the Rocks in the summer.

But he hasn't been able to force his way into first team reckoning, save for a few substitute appearances.

And rather than spend time on the bench, he has chosen to quit Bognor to pursue his

career elsewhere.

Rocks manager Jack Pearce said: "I can perfectly understand Dan's position and in the interests of helping him develop we have agreed for him to move on.

"He will be a big asset to any club who signs him. He has come into our club and worked his socks off to get fit and then

shown a great attitude as a squad member.

"Unfortunately for Dan, he has had limited first team opportunities and any football person can understand his desire to play every week.

"We wish him all the very best for the future and want to thank him for his services to the club."

NYECAMP NEWS

by Liam Goodley

THINGS have certainly changed since I last wrote this column a fortnight ago.

While there was no football this past weekend, we are certainly in a better place.

We made a few additions and seemed to have improved things overnight.

Morale has gone up and the team has started to click, gaining two valuable wins.

Robbie Blake has been saying for a while now that it was only a matter of signing a few more players.

THe competition for places has helped, particularly in defence, where we had no one pushing to get into the team.

Against Leatherhead in the 5-1 win we scored some great goals and kept them well away from the goal for most of the game.

A few days earlier against Haringey, it's fair to say they did not have a look in while we had more than 30 chances.

THat shows that when we attack we can cause some great damage, even to the so called better sides in the division.

Going into the Haringey match, people thought we would get a thrashing as the way we were playing up to that point was pretty bad.

But the new signings we made have had a big impact, with Joe Hancott a good find, the emergency keeper in James Holden who performed well and Joe Cook, who has been a steadying force THat helped cut out the mistakes and competition for places made the team play better.

Scoring first helped, too, and then adding the second at a key point wrapped things up before they could have come back at us.

We didn't really let them have a sniff even though they did have some strong forward players.

THat carried through

to Leatherhead when we followed it up in style.

THe morale among the fans is starting to come back because of it.

THe mood is really high and positive and I think we are all hoping for more of the same for the rest of the season.

We showed in that match that we have one of the best forward lines in the league.

I think if we cut out the mistakes we can start to fight our way up the league It was great to see Dan Smith get on the score sheet. Getting four goals in one match helps anyone build their confidence but breaking the drought is key.

If it was up to the management team they would have wanted the game on Saturday.

THe week off did not help them keep the momentum going.

While I know a lot of Rocks fans went to watch the games at Chichester or Horsham, personally I just chilled out and sent some posters out to promote the club.

As I was picking them up, Jack Pearce was at Nyewood Lane and I had a chance to talk to him about Potters Bar. He said it would be a tough match against a physical side and well organised.

From memory, I recall us drawing there last season and, while they are not the most creative of sides they know how to grind out results.

I hope we can get a result if we keep the form going with Dan banging them in that will instil some confidence in us.

We need to get all the points we can at the moment to push us up the table.

If we can turn the Nye Camp into a fortress that teams do not enjoy coming to then that will be even better. It's been a while since we had that formidable home record.
