New group to fight housing CAMPAIGNERS have formed a new group to fight thousands of planned homes in North Bersted.

Some 50 supporters of the Bersted & Aldwick Development Destroying Environment & Agricultural Land group (BAD DEAL) made their views clear at its first publicity event, pictured above.

The group has brought together residents of North Bersted, West Meads and Pagham to battle against the

proposals for 2,500 homes on farmland in Chalcraft Lane.

Those who attended the event were a mixture of long-standing residents and those who had recently moved to the area.

Dave Weller, 69, of Chalcraft Lane, said: “I’ve been here since I was four years old and I’ve seen the area change beyond recognition.

“All of Rowan Way, Fairlands, West

Meads and Stroud Green – none of it was here. Chalcraft Lane was a lane then.

Now, it’s going to be the local version of the M3.

“We wait ten minutes to get out of our drive now and we can only turn left. We don’t even think about turning right.”

His wife, Sue Weller, 68, said: “I don’t see how they can allow all these houses with all the traffic that will be created.

It’s bad enough now. We see it back up

every day.”

The group’s leaders – Bersted parish councillor Martin Lury is the chairman – will be keeping close ties with PAGAM’s members and their fight against what could be 1,000-plus homes in their area just across the parish boundary.

The sites have been earmarked by Arun District Council in its latest local plan land use blueprint. This will be Turn to page five

Ben's back in town for a special show WEST END star Ben Richards is back for his first Bognor Regis show in three years. Ben is appearing at his home town theatre next Thursday for a night of music and memories.

He said: "I will be appearing with a full professional orchestra and singing the songs that I love.

"It's been a while since my last show there. It must be three years since I last appeared in the Alexandra Theatre and I'm really looking forward to it.

"I love playing there. There's always a lot of people I know in the audience and I always get a good reception."

The first half of the show, which starts at 7.30pm, will feature his favourite style of music with songs from the Rat Pack, Michael Buble and Harry Connick Jr. After the interval, the emphasis will be on the shows in which Ben has starred.

Last year saw him take one of the leading roles in The Bodyguard opposite Beverley Knight at the Dominion Theatre in London.

"There will be some nice medleys with songs from Motown and from the shows in which I've appeared," he said.

"There will be a few new songs as well.

It will be a really fun night out."

Ben, 45, will appear at the Alexandra Theatre straight from the lead role in master songwriter Burt Bacharach's first new score for theatre since 1968.

Some Lovers was a love story set over 20 years and featured the score by Bacharach and lyricist Steven Sater.

Its run at The Other Palace theatre in

London ended last Saturday.

"The musical was only a four-hander and, with the new music, was a challenge to do but the theatre, which was bought

by Andrew Lloyd Webber's company last year, was a great place," Ben said.

His one night show in Bognor Regis will be followed by a series of flights to Milan to appear in a spin-off of a popular Disney series on Italian television.

Given the working title of Penny and Mars, the series will see Ben playing an evil agent in the teen comedy featuring some of the characters in Alex & Co. Ben said: "It's nice to have a nasty character again. I'll be flying out and back from Milan for the next three months.

"My character appears in and out of the episodes, rather than being a constant feature, and it will be a nice contrast to what I have been doing recently."

Ben's latest successes have come as he celebrates being clear of bowel cancer for five years.

"I've been one of the lucky ones and I remember that every day," he added.

"My life has changed since then as well.

"I've got a beautiful girlfriend and a beautiful two-year-old daughter, Freya.

Life is good and who knows what work the future will bring? I'm certainly keeping busy at the moment."

Ben has achieved fame in The Bill, Footballers' Wives and Hollyoaks on television as well as leading stage roles in Guys and Dolls, Saturday Night Fever and The Full Monty.

Police want to speak to young man after thefts from vehicles THIS young man is being sought by police after a spate of thefts from vehicles in Felpham.

He was spotted on CCTV in the area where the overnight break-ins of cars and vans have taken place.

A Sussex Police spokesman said: "Sixteen offences were reported in the last two weeks of August.

"Satnavs, mobile phones, wallets and purses have been reported stolen.

Some of the vehicles were found to have been left unlocked."

He asked anyone who knew the identity of the young man to contact sussex.police.uk/appealresponse or call

101, quoting serial 413 of 16/08.

He said residents should always keep their vehicles secured at night and remove valuable items if possible.

Keeley wants to help women change habits

News 3

f Cllr Jan Cosgrove at Hothamton play area

New play site call

f Keeley Goszczynski at My Sisters' House CHANGING lives from habits to happiness is the aim of a Bognor Regis woman.

Keeley Goszczynski will use her experiences to launch her drop-in workshops at My Sisters’ House.

Keeley, 29, benefited from the help available at the women’s centre in the town and is keen to expand its range of services. She said: "People would be amazed to find out what I have been to what I am achieving now.”

“I want to change the way people think about mental health. I want to inject some emotional intelligence into the community to end the stigma and offer people hope and faith for the future.”

Her eight healthy mindset workshops will take place weekly from September 29 from 7pm-8.30pm at the centre at 108C London Road. They will cover subjects like a person’s identity and purpose, turning

negative thoughts into positive ones and treating their body well.

Those who decide to join in will be able to attend whichever sessions they like.

Town centre resident Keeley is a former gym instructor who gave up her job to look after her grandparents in Rustington. They had dementia and she became the end of life carer for her grandmother.

Keeley had to leave their over-65s accommodation after their deaths. She moved to Bognor Regis and was diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder and severe depression to lead her to the Bedale Centre (community health centre).

Having being referred to My Sister’s House, she became part of its Step Forward programme to help women back into work. She devised a business plan for her enterprise, Nu Earth, and impressed advisor Ali Goulds sufficiently for her to

become her business mentor.

“I’m going to be really interested to see how my workshops turn out,” she said. “I want to put my ideas into action to see if they benefit the community.

“I also want to show people you don’t have to have education to succeed. A lot of life is about experience.”

My Sisters’ House founder Julie Budge said she was delighted to add Keeley’s workshops to its autumn programme.

“She is a really good example of the cooperation ethos we have where women who use our services move on to offer services themselves."

Two other additions to the programme are being launched this month. Afternoon teas take place from 1pm-3pm on Tuesdays for all women. There is also a Friday crafternoon group from 2.30pm4pm to enable women to become creative.

AN ALTERNATIVE site should be chosen for a new play area on Bognor Regis seafront, town councillors have agreed.

They said Arun District Council should scrap its plans for the activity area to be created next to the Beach on the Beach sandpit.

The council should instead improve the current area at the Rock Gardens, next to the skateboard park, opposite the Royal Norfolk Hotel.

Council members decided at their meeting on Monday to back a motion from Cllr Jan Cosgrove (L, Orchard) which called on Arun to think again.

He said the intended location was a poor choice of site because it was next to a seasonal facility which was only used in the summer.

"I'm not sure this is the right place to put the play area. It could be an attraction for children on the seafront but it's not in a residential area with a lot of children near to it. It will also have to be closed for part of the year.

"The Rock Gardens play area could be a good location and suitable for some fixed play equipment.

"There's nothing at that end of the prom. The site there could be just as well (as the Beach on the Beach) and it is not as exposed to the weather."

Cllr Adam Cunard (I, Pevensey) said he believed Arun was looking at a pirate ship as the centrepiece of the planned play area.

"It will be a climbing item like they have got on Worthing seafront. I think it's a very good thing to have

in the town - a large structure for the children to play on.

"I support it. I think it is a good idea."

Cllr Steve Goodheart (I, Hotham) said any new play equipment should be installed at the southern end of Waterloo Square. He described the area as under-used.

Arun is consulting until September 25 about its proposals for the seafront play area. * Councillors also agreed with Cllr Cosgrove's latest comments about what he called the unsafe condition of Hothamton play area off Steyne Street.

"The current neglect of the Hothamton play area needs urgent remedy with the installation of adequate fencing to guard against dog access and attack," he said.

Missing and defective self-closing gates should also be replaced and the site maintained regardless of Arun's plans for its redevelopment into a linear park.

He said: "That area is waiting for an accident. We should be strong about this. Local townschildren are being put at risk and we should tell Arun this.

"It's unreasonable to put off safety issues because something is going to be done with that site later on."

Cllr Pat Dillon (C, Pevensey) said: "Cllr Cosgrove has spoken about this several times before. I have spoken to Arun. The work is not going to be done urgently but the officers have got them on the list of things that they are trying to work on and upgrade."

` Witness appeal about man's death DETECTIVES who are investigating the unexplained death of a Bognor Regis man would like to know more about his final hours.

A post mortem has shown James Colwell, 52, locally known as Jimmy, died from head injuries but it has not been established how these injuries were caused.

As reported last week, Mr Colwell was found at the bottom of the stairs on the ground floor inside his house in Oak Grove around midday on August 28.

Paramedics alerted police at 12.17pm and an investigation was launched into the circumstances of his death. It is still being treated as unexplained.

Detective Chief Inspector Emma Heater said: "We're trying to piece together Jimmy's movements on the day before he died.

"We would like to hear from anyone, who has not already spoken to police, who may have seen him on Sunday, August 27, or the early hours of the Monday morning.

"You can report online sussex.police.uk/appealresponse - or call 101, quoting Operation Thornham.

"Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers - crimestoppers-uk. org - anonymously on 0800 555 111."

A 50-year-old man from Bognor Regis, known to Mr Colwell, was arrested on suspicion of murder and has been bailed until September 25.

Warning over obesity level URGENT action is need to tackle a ticking time bomb of obesity in Bognor Regis, a former GP has warned.

Cllr Dr James Walsh said statistics which showed two in three Arun district residents was obese or overweight were a warning sign for future ill health.

The need for public health programmes to educate and encourage people to take steps to improve their wellbeing was essential, he told Arun District Council’s environment and leisure working group.

“The fact that two-thirds of people are obese or overweight is a huge demographic ticking time bomb which is going to have a significant impact on cancer, heart disease, strokes and diabetes.

“The fact that one in five children in Year Six are classed as obese shows the situation seems to be getting worse – and diabetes is increasing dramatically, unfortunately, in this country,” he said.

One way to begin to tackle the problem was to keep up the pressure against excessive alcohol consumption.

He said: “The prevalence of smoking has slumped from 80 per cent of the population 50 years ago to 18 per cent. Unfortunately, the same is not true of alcohol. The opposite has happened, particularly in regard to the 40-60 age group.

“It appears the younger age group have heeded the warnings but it’s my generation who are the worst offenders and don’t think the rules apply to them.”

A public health campaign against sugar also needed to be launched.

“As regards to people’s diets, the number

one target has to be to reduce the amount of sugar being consumed, especially in fizzy drinks and processed foods.

“That will help in not only reducing weight immediately but also reducing problems in middle and later life,” he said.

Cllr Dr James Walsh (LD, Beach) issued his warnings during the debate last Tuesday about the annual report of the Arun Wellbeing programme.

Other statistics in the report showed the incidence of diabetes in adults in the district was much higher – at 7.2 per cent of the population – than the national average.

The programme is run by Arun under contract from West Sussex County Council’s department of public health. The three-year deal ends on March 31, 2019.

Hazel Flack, Arun’s community wellbeing partnership manager, said the current funding was £362,367.

This paid for wellbeing advisors, a prediabetes programme, weight management advice, cook and eat sessions, workplace health MOT check-ups and home energy visits among other activities.

These were accessed by more than 3,000 people in the year to the end of last March.

Most wanted to increase their activity (992), manage their weight (870) and eat healthier (856).

“Over the past two or three years, there have been cuts in funding. It has not been easy but we have been able to re-arrange these services to accommodate these changes. It could be that we hire a slightly bigger room so we can see 16 people rather than one for only ten,” she said.

f Georgia Hudson with her new haircut

Georgia prepares for new school term by helping other children THOUGHTFUL Bognor Regis girl Georgia Hudson got ready for secondary school by donating her hair to charity.

Georgia had her first hair cut last Saturday and donated 22 inches of her locks to the Little Princess Trust to help the charity to make a wig for a child who has lost their hair.

She also raised £306 to donate along with the hair to help to fund the making of a wig.

Her mum, Wendy Hudson, said: "We are very proud of her and her determination to do this amazing thing for others.

"Georgia has been growing her hair since she was little and only had the odd trim here and there.

"After I donated my own hair a few years ago, she decided that she wanted to do the same and help an ill child.

"So, she has grown her hair as long as she can and had it cut just before starting secondary school.

"She is really pleased with the length of hair she has donated and didn't realise just how long it actually was until she saw it cut off."

Georgia was also surprised and delighted by the amount of money she had raised for the Little Princess Trust, she added.

The trust provides real hair wigs free of charge to children across the UK and Ireland who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses.

Housing land put forward

LAND in Walberton has been suggested for nearly 100 homes.

Councillors have been told the site north of North Pound and west of Tye Lane had the potential for 91 dwellings.

It was one of the locations put forward to Arun District Council for potential development. It was judged by the council’s planning officers to be suitable for development within five years if a planning application was submitted and if it was approved.

The plot was among 13 reported to Arun’s local plan sub-committee last Thursday as part of its annual work assessing which areas had the potential to be developed.

Sub-committee member Cllr Stephen Haynes (C, Yapton) said: “I am happy to agree with the assessment numbers that are here and the policies.

“But I might not when an application comes to the development control committee, if I am still a member. I am reserving my position.”

In all, the HELAA has a current supply of 45 deliverable sites with capacity for 2,199 dwellings in addition to those locations for which planning permission has been granted.

There is also a potential supply of 43 sites with 3,573 dwellings which could come forward to be developed during the lifetime of Arun's draft local plan up to 2031. But 181 sites put forward for potential housing were not deemed by the council’s officers to be developable.

The length of the sub-committee’s meeting – 14 minutes – was criticised afterwards by Ian Truin, one of three members of the public present.

He accused the councillors of continuing to fail to pay enough attention to the emerging local plan.

But his comments were rejected by the sub-committee's chairman, Cllr Ricky Bower (C, East Preston).

The resumed examination of the draft plan will be led by planning inspector Mark Dakeyne. As reported, it will examine aspects of the document like the allocation of farmland in Pagham and North Bersted and the sites put forward by Arun for employment uses.

f Some of last year's prom goers

Chance for Proms fun in town's park BRING out those Union flags - Proms in the Park is back in Bognor Regis.

The evening of patriotic pride is taking place tomorrow in Hotham Park.

Bognor Regis Town Council is staging the flag waving and lung bursting entertainment from 7pm-9.30pm at the park's bandstand.

Kirsten Fitzpatrick, the council's events officer, said: "Another evening of good fun and entertainment is in store for all those who want to enjoy good music in the lovely setting of the park."

Family firm's party time FAMILY members of the oldest company in Bognor Regis held a special birthday party this week.

The directors of Reynolds welcomed several hundred customers to the firm's 150th anniversary celebrations. Wednesday's event at the High Street furniture store featured live jazz and Rat Pack and sax music as well as special offers and refreshments.

Welcoming visitors was the company's chairman, Norman Reynolds, 84, who started work there in 1953 chasing non-paying customers.

He said: "Today is a very proud day for me. I'm lucky I've had four children to come into the business.

"Life has changed a lot for us. Our motto was to look after people from the cradle to the grave.

"We used to employ carpet fitters, cabinet makers, a china and glass department and curtain makers. We even used to make our own mattresses."

The site of the furniture store in High Street has stayed the same since 1870 but Mr Reynolds said it had changed for the better.

"The store has improved tremendously. It was very old-fashioned and very dark when I arrived. There

was oak panelling all the way around.

"There used to be six rooflights which let the light in between each floor. We used to have lights as well but they were nowhere near as bright as those we have today."

The company was started by Samuel Reynolds, aged 19, at 13 West Street as the town expanded.

Since that time, the company has grown to be the largest furniture store in Sussex with over 30,000sq ft of space over four floors. It also has a funeral business next door and a self-storage depositary opened in 1911 and being refurbished for £130,000.

The company is run by the fifth generation of the family. Finance director Matthew Reynolds said: "My first thought about today is immense pride.

"Going back through the archives has shown what a proud heritage this firm has.

"We have survived by being adaptable and putting customer service at the forefront of everything we do.

"Footfall at the store is not as good as it was but the customers we are getting are spending more."

The company has 40 employees in all departments.

The Rock Choir will open the programme before the Andy Beaumont Band with Russ Howarth and Caroline Bennett lead the audience in renditions of traditional favourites like Jerusalem and Land of Hope and Glory.

The live music will be followed by coverage of the BBC Last Night Of The Proms from the Royal Albert Hall on a big screen in the park.

This is the first year the Hotham Park concert has been staged on the same night as the London finale.

News 5

From page one Subject to a public inquiry later this month.

BAD DEAL’s treasurer, Gill Yeates, said: “All these proposed homes, as well as 3,000 around Westergate, put the 650 homes originally proposed for Bersted Park into context - and we had a new road to go with them.

“People are making lifechanging decisions to move here without realising everything that is being proposed.

“That is why we are going across the parish boundaries to bring the communities together. All this extra traffic is going to affect everyone.”

West Meads resident Marian Collins, 73, said: “We moved to Bognor Regis to be in a rural area by the sea.

"Now, it is becoming like the area we moved from – Cheam.

“London moved out to Cheam and now it’s moving out to West Sussex. This protest is all about the roads as well as the houses.

“We’ve noticed how busy the roads have become in the 11 years since we’ve been here.”

Roger Kingswell, 70, of Bersted Park, is among the newer residents of the area who have joined BAD DEAL. He said: “We have got to protect green spaces. There is a lot of talk in these planning documents about that and providing roads, doctors and good education.

“But none of it is going to happen. It’s just claptrap as far as I can see.”

Friday, September 8, 2017 f An artist's view of the business park

Property has to be sold to pay council

DON'T MISS OUT!

Business park traffic fears PLANNED warehouses would add to the traffic chaos on North Bersted's roads, councillors have warned.

They said the intended collection of the storage or distribution units would create a difficult traffic burden on the already clogged highways.

The number of vehicles generated by the likely businesses on the Salt Box development outweighed the value of the jobs set to be created.

Cllr Gill Yeates, Bersted Parish Council's planning chairman, said: "I have one main issue with the plan and it's to restrict the B8 use in this area.

"The plans show the warehouse as B8 uses. B8 should not be in this area on the basis of the size of traffic movements.

As reported, Landlink Estates has applied for planning permission to create the long-awaited commercial park at the site between Rowan Way and Shripney Road.

Its proposals for the 11.8 hectares include a Warburtons bakery depot for 60 vehicles as well as an hotel, gym and warehouse and engineering premises.

The council's planning, amenities and environment committee met on Tuesday to debate the application and pass its opinion to Arun District Council for a final decision.

The plans show several units with a B8 use. A B8 building is used for storage or a distribution centre.

Cllr Yeates said: "I only see using the B8 argument as a leaver to push the issue of the relief road.

"I live at Shripney so I am very aware of this going on. It's an ill-thought out

plan and will be a shame to take out the caravan park.

"If there was better access it wouldn't be as much of a problem.

"The only options are to go via Rowan Way or through Shripney village."

It has been estimated with the Warburtons distribution premises built, there will be around 60 lorries going in and out of the area each day.

"Given the traffic problems we have, this will only add to it," added Cllr Yeates.

The current plan shows three B8 units and two starter units, which will either be B1 or B8.

It was previously deemed that B1 units were acceptable as they would produce a higher amount of industrial jobs.

Cllr Brian Knight, the chairman of the council, said: "This is only just aspirations and ideas at the moment.

"Irrespective of how many jobs these units will bring, we have to focus on the traffic. We need to suggest to Arun that the road goes through the middle and joins up the relief road.

"We need to put pressure on Arun and West Sussex County Council to deal with this. At this stage they can still design the development around the new road.

"We have suffered with Rowans Way for almost two and a half years now. If we don’t get improvements, we will suffer for another 50 years.

"The only thing we can do to appease the whole electorate is to force for a new road. We will never get another chance to do this. They won't put a new road in later. Roads are the only thing we can fight on this one."

Seafront toilets meeting could take place between councils A MEETING about proposed toilets along Bognor Regis seafront is being sought by town councillors.

They were told by the deputy town mayor, Cllr Adam Cunard, that Arun District Council was willing to talk about the plans for the development close to the existing foreshore office.

"Arun have told me they are more than happy to come and talk to us about the toilets, which is a slight change from what they said before.But they are more than happy to discuss the toilets and the look of the toilets."

Cllr Pat Dillon (C, Pevensey) said two-way communication between

the councils about the matter was essential.

"There are a lot of people not happy with the proposals and some of us are not happy with the design," he said.

Cllr Steve Goodheart (I, Hotham) said the toilets should be a symbol of the transformation of the seafront and of the two councils working together.

"I'm sure there are ways forward that are aesthetically pleasing, functional and worthy of a position on Bognor Regis seafront."

As reported, residents of Esplanade Grande flats on the seafront have led the protests against the toilets.

has taken a lot of hard work and time for the council's officers to gain success and ensure the money owed is repaid.

"The court has awarded the order of sale to ensure that Mrs Peek must pay for the fraudulent activity that resulted in such a large debt."

Mrs Peek, 59, was originally prosecuted

by Arun about the illegal amount of benefit she received from the council.

But she failed to make any payments in spite of the council using all possible options, including external bailiffs.

She moved out of the district to Gosport where she bought a property outright.

This was subject to a charging order issued by the county council to ensure the debt was protected against the property.

Mrs Peek has failed to contact Arun and also failed to supply the information required by the court during the lengthy legal process which led to the order of sale being issued.

A WOMAN has been ordered to leave her home to settle her debts on two Bognor Regis properties.

Grace Peek will have to leave her current home for it to be sold to pay back her £48,923.67 debt to Arun District Council if she does not repay the money

by November 17 this year.

Arun was granted the order of sale at Portsmouth County Court last Friday. It is the first time it has taken this action since it was formed in 1973.

Mrs Peek must pay back the money, the result of a large benefit overpayment, for homes in Hotham Gardens and Northcliffe Road, or vacate her present address in Shalbourne Road, Gosport.

Arun will put the Gosport address up for sale for a set period. If it remains unsold, it will be auctioned. Any funds remaning, after the debt is paid to the council, will be returned to Mrs Peek.

Cllr Dudley Wensley, Arun's deputy leader, said: "This is a serious case and

Duke's work remembered

` Cinema asbestos ASBESTOS has been found during extension works at the cinema in Bognor Regis.

The discovery of the potentially deadly lagging material has led to a halt of several weeks in the near £1m scheme to build a fourth screen at the historic Picturedrome.

The news was reported to Bognor Regis Town Council members, who own the 1886 building, at their meeting on Monday.

They agreed to get the asbestos removed and called for action to recover the costs from those who carried out surveys of the site.

Town clerk Glenna Frost said the work had to be done urgently. "Any further delay is going to increase the cost of the project. We have got to get on with it," she said.

Cllr Jim Brooks (I, Marine) said: "Wherever you got old buildings and pipes, that is the first place I thought you would have looked to find asbestos."

Cllr Jan Cosgrove (L, Orchard) said: "This is possible negligence.

We should also Glenna to investigate this and come back to us as soon as possible. We need to get an explanation as to how this happened and get some compensation for it."

The cost of taking out the asbestos will come from the £1,000 left in the contingency fund for the extension.

The new 110-seat screen is being built at the rear of the cinema's site at the junction of Linden Road and Canada Grove.

Building work was due to have finished next February and the screen opened two months later. But the opening is now likely to be well into spring 2018.

f The cheque presentation

Lifeboat charity helped by college STUDENTS and staff at Felpham Community College returned to lessons this week - still celebrating their final fundraising success of the last term.

The last day of term-time saw the students pay a fine to leave their uniforms at home in an event held by the college's sixth form charity committee.

The result was a cheque for £750 which was handed over to the RNLI. Mark Anstiss, the charity's headteacher, said: "It was a very busy year for charity at Felpham, including our non-school uniform collection days and participating in national events

such as the British Heart Foundation Bag-a-thon and the Breast Cancer Care Wear-It-Pink campaign.

"It was good to do one final thing before the end of term.

"Students, headed by the charity committee, organised a number of individual events themselves during the year and our annual charity week as successful as ever.

"We are proud of everything we do for charity and well done to everyone involved."

Members of the college's sixth form charity committee are pictured above and a representative from the lifeboats charity.

TRIBUTES have been paid to the work for Bognor Regis of the Duke of Richmond and Gordon.

Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox, the 10th Duke, passed away last Friday aged 87 surrounded by his family.

A minute's silence in memory of the Duke was held by Bognor Regis town councillors at their meeting on Monday.

Several council members spoke about the Duke's efforts for the town. Cllr Jim Brooks (I, Marine) said: "I'm very sad to hear the Duke has passed away. He did an awful lot of good work for Bognor Regis. He will be sadly missed."

Cllr Jan Cosgrove (L, Orchard) said: "He was a gentleman who thought a great deal about Bognor Regis and of Bognor Regis and always gave a lot of his time."

Cllr Steve Goodheart (I, Hotham) said: "The Duke was a patron of the Rox charity, which gave me the opportunity to meet him numerous times.

"During our conversations, he would tell me stories about his involvement and efforts to help Bognor Regis.

"He was very wise in his thinking when it came down to regenerating the town."

Cllr Jeanette Warr (LD, Hotham) said: "He was so kind and so generous and he thought an awful lot of Bognor Regis."

The town mayor, Cllr Phil Woodall, has written a letter of condolence to the Duke's family.

In a statement, the Goodwood Estate said: "It is with great sadness that we announce the death of His Grace The Duke of Richmond and Gordon. The

The Duke's role in regenerating Bognor Regis saw him become a member of the Vision Group which led to the Bognor Regis regeneration steering group on which he served from 2001-07. He also chaired the Planning for Economic Prosperity Chichester and Arun group between 1989 and 2010.

Kath's Ducks go quackers for foamtastic fun to raise funds for hospice GENEROUS family and friends of a Bognor Regis woman have raised over £2,000 for her much-needed care.

Kath Tanswell, pictured middle right, attended the second annual Bubble Rush in aid of St Wilfrid’s Hospice to present an impressive cheque and watch loved ones take part in the foamy fun run.

Kath, 66, has been receiving care from the St Wilfrid's Hospice at Home team.

Alongside her family and friends at the event last Saturday were her co-workers from Tesco in Bognor Regis, where she had worked for an impressive 25 years.

The team at Tesco raised £1,000 in store thanks to the staff and customers. This, combined with sponsorship collected by

Twelve-year-old Josh agreed. “It was brilliant. I’m freezing now though,” he said.

Among Kath’s colleagues watching the event was Buster Hall. He explained how Kath’s team were given their name.

He said “Kath calls everyone at Tesco ‘duck’ so that’s how she’s known and why they’ve called themselves ‘Kath’s Ducks’.

“She’s a fantastic, wonderful lady and we can’t do enough for her.”

Buster started fundraising for the hospice by dressing up as Batman and asking for donations. Eventually lots of his co-workers joined the cause.

“Everyone at Tesco wanted to help and the idea just took off,” he added.

f Enjoying some foamy fun family and friends, saw a total raised of £2,200 by Kath’s supporters.

The Tesco customer services worker spoke of her gratitude for those involved.

She said: “I’ve been overwhelmed by the support from my family, friends and colleagues.”

Seven of Kath’s family and friends took part in the Bubble Rush, a four kilometre run through coloured foam - sons Glen and Lee Tanswell, grandchildren Megan and Josh Tanswell, son-in-law Scott Hughes, future daughter-in-law Tracy Lowry and friend Ruby Paluk.

Scott enjoyed the experience. He said: “It was hard, but fun. And now we’ve just been having fun watching others finish the race from here.”

Alison Moorey, the hospice’s chief executive and chairman of trustees, was there to accept the donation from the supermarket.

She explained how important the money, as well as the gesture, was to both Kath and the hospice.

She said: “It is a true testament to how much Kath is appreciated by her colleagues and customers at Tesco.

“The money will be put to good use helping to provide end of life care for people, including support for their loved ones.”

Alison took part twice in the run, raising sponsorship from her friends and family.

“It’s been a fantastic, fun day. We’ve

had lots of children and families taking part.

"We couldn’t have asked for better weather. The kids are really engaging with the bubbles, lots of them go back for more.

“I’ve done one lap already and I’m going to do it again. I’ve raised £175 from sponsorship so far,” she said.

The event attracted up to 600 participants who took part in the two races.

Live music from Station 47 and The Miller Men entertained everyone while face painting, massages and food were also on offer.

To get people geared up for the run, a warm-up was provided by FitJoy. All the companies involved gave their time and services for free, including Chichester High School as the venue and Southdowns Water.

The hospice’s communications officer, Helen Humphry, thanked all those involved.

“Everyone has really got into the spirit.

There are so many families here, and the children are really enjoying it.

"There are also a lot of people running in memory of loved ones which is very touching.”

Bognor Regis participant Melanie Thomas ran in memory of her dad, Wynne Thomas.

This was her first Bubble Rush.

She was joined by her friends, Val Lewis, who was taking part for her dad, Ron Coulson, and Jo Boylin, running in memory of her mum, Susan Crank.

Although Wynne was under the hospice's care years ago, Melanie has still continued to help it.

There were also plenty of participants there for the fun factor.

Nine-year-old Bailey NortonGiffiths, from Worthing, explained why he signed up.

“I wanted to do it because it sounded fun. I’ve really enjoyed jumping in the bubbles,” he said.

For Margaret Sutton, from Bognor Regis, the day was a family affair as she was joined by her two grandchildren.

She said: “I wanted to help the hospice and my grandchildren said they’d do it with me which is really nice.”

Her grandson, six-year-old Elliott Ribbons, said: “I’m very excited for the bubbles.”

His sister Katy Ribbons, aged ten, agreed. “I’m looking forward to getting in the foam,” she said.

` Memorial service A SERVICE to dedicate a new memorial to the wartime role of Bognor Regis Pier will be held at the end of this month.

The Royal Naval Association has arranged the occasion to ensure the memory of HMS St Barbara is kept alive. The naval base was a Second World War gunnery training school on the pier.

Its memorial is being replaced on the front of the pier after being sited at the rear of the building since last year.

The service to officially unveil the new memorial will take place at 12.15pm on September 30.

Ron Hargest, chairman of the Royal Naval Association in the town, said: "An open invitation is extended to anyone who would like to attend the service.

"There will also be a flypast before the service, featuring helicopters from Elite Helicopters and Second World War aircraft from Boultbee Flying Academy."

The flypast is scheduled to take place at 12.10pm.

Those at the service will include Commander Michael Dreelan, the commanding officer of HMS Excellent in Portsmouth, and civic dignitaries.

Also present will be Bognor Regis Sea Cadets from TS Sir Alec Rose, and former servicemen and women from the town's branches of the Royal Naval Association, the Royal Air Forces Association and the Royal British Legion and representatives from Reynolds in Bognor Regis.

The original memorial was instigated by the late Leslie Garrett.

Film links of design school

f Bill Strohacker

CREATIVE brains behind Star Wars and Levi’s will be bringing their expertise to Bognor Regis.

The design experiences of some of the industry’s top experts have been lined up for the next sessions of a unique course held in the town.

The Strohacker Design School is based at the university campus and its principal claims it is unlike any other.

Bill Strohacker said: “I challenge anyone to tell me a course in the UK which has as many top end creative individuals involved with it as this design school.

“These people are part of the course and they bring their expertise to help the students.”

New for the second of the three-month courses which starts will be input from Glyn Dillon, the creative director for Lucasfilm, the box office giant that creates the Star Wars movies.

“He called me up to be part of the course because he liked what we are doing,” said Bill. “He is likely to be here in November.”

Also taking part will be Nick Williams, the former creative director for Levi’s, and John McFaul, who heads the design work for the New Balance sportswear company.

They will take along their firms’ recent design briefs for the students to work on in a life-like setting.

“The students will have two weeks to complete a brief,” said Bill. “That makes it more realistic than on many courses where they can be given six weeks.

“It also fits in with the intense, shortterm nature of the course. It’s only three months long and the aim is to equip the students with all they need to get a job.

“We will support our students as well for six months after they leave. Our aim is for them to be in work within that time. We’re at a 90 per cent success rate so far.”

Backing for the course also comes from Jamie Hewlett, who is touring with his virtual band, Gorillaz, which he helped to take to the top of the music charts.

He and Bill are former students of Northbrook College in Worthing. Bill, 55, set up his course at the University of Chichester site after decades of working as a graphic designer.

He designed Smash Hits magazine and worked for Virgin before he spent two years researching the industry talking to design agencies and graduate students about what they needed and what they were missing from existing courses.

He met with a representative of the university at a networking event and his deal to rent space to operate as an independent education provider was agreed.

Contacts with his former classmates, and former work colleagues soon set up enough award-winning designers willing to get involved.

Only six students a time take part. Those on the latest course come from southeast England. The initial course had two American students.

“Graphic design is still very important,” said Chichester resident Bill. “Every physical object we see has been designed by somebody and that starts at school when a student becomes enthused by the subject.”

One of his goals as his course becomes established is to work with companies to offer scholarships towards the £6,995 fee.

“I want to offer as many people as possible the chance to get into this industry. It worries me that creative activities are being taken out by schools.

"We need to put the STEAM into STEM (science, technology, engineering ,maths) to ensure the arts are included," he added.

Video star Riley helps make people aware of syndrome A BOGNOR REGIS family of a little boy with a rare genetic disorder has been chosen to front a national charity campaign.

Riley Pearson, six, has Smith Magenis Syndrome, to mean he has severe behavourial problems. Along with his dad, Mick, he has become the face of the fundraising bid by Jeans for Genes.

The online campaign #dreamsforgenes aims to encourage schools on September 22 to sign for up for Jeans for Genes Day when pupils wear jeans in exchange for a small donation to the charity.

The short video by Riley and Mick, 39, raises awareness around the syndrome and genetic disorders generally.

Mick explains: "Our dream for genes is that SMS can become more socially acceptable and that more awareness is spread throughout public places - so people understand more in schools, hospitals, doctors or even Tesco's.

"Riley is just gorgeous and is often a very happy little boy. We all adore him.

"However, if he gets over stimulated, that leads to a tantrum or, in a worse case, a meltdown.

"Riley will throw things, hit out at us and run screaming around. This is when people tend to look and judge us.

"He can start self-injurious behaviour biting himself, pinching himself. It is hard enough dealing with Riley and worrying about him.

"So, when people give you nasty looks like you are bad parents - well that is just something we don't really need."

Smith Magenis Syndrome is also characterised by mild to severe intellectual disability, delayed speech and language skills, distinctive facial features, heart and kidney problems, and substantial sleep disturbances.

Riley was diagnosed on December 4, 2014, when he was three years old.

Doctors initially said he had Global Developmental Delay because he had missed all his milestones.

But rail track quality worker Mick said:

"We just knew there was more to it. We have three older sons, so we are qualified parents."

It took three weeks for the results of a genetic test on Riley to come back. Mick and his wife, Sue, a part-time health care worker, felt totally abandoned.

The doctor who saw them knew nothing about the condition. It was only when Mick found out about the SMS Foundation the family received support.

Riley lives with his parents, Sue's mum,

Pauline, 71, and his three older brothers, Ethan Ling, 16, Joshua Ling, 15, and Brandon Pearson, 13.

"The boys are brilliant with Riley. His condition affects the whole family on a daily basis but they adore him," said Mick.

"They knew when they need to leave him alone and they all just think the world of him. The other side to Riley is just gorgeous. He is so loving and happy."

` New markets FAMILIES will be able to buy good quality children's items at a new market in North Bersted.

Little Pickles Markets is being launched this Sunday at Bersted Park Community Centre in Lakeland Avenue.

The markets were started in October, 2010, by busy mum of five Jessamine Hislop when she realised the need to sell articles for children in indoor venues.

She said: "I was having a good clear-out of my children's items to raise some extra cash but getting very frustrated by selling online and at early car boots and I felt like I was almost giving away quality items that still had loads of life left in them."

Goods on sale include maternity wear to pushchairs, games, toys and nursery furniture.

` Marquee plans

f Riley Pearon features in a national charity campaign

PLANS to keep a marquee for three more years at an Eastergate pub have been revealed.

Sonia Scott has sought planning permission to retain the structure at Wilkes Head Inn for three years.

Her planning agent, Stephen Jupp, says in a statement: "The scale of the marquee is such that it is subordinate to both the main building and the single-storey side extension. It has a low-pitched roof in order to ensure that it is not a dominant feature."

The 18th century pub is a Grade II listed building. The marquee, with 124 sq m of floorspace, has been on its western end for six years.

Families go ape for fun with giant gorilla AWE-INSPIRED crowds gathered at Aldingbourne Country Centre to meet a ten foot tall creature of legend.

King Kong visited last Thursday and impressed both children and adults alike.

During the day, up to 100 visitors were given the option of six 20 minute time slots in which to get up close and personal with the human-operated ape.

For organisers it was exciting to see King Kong arrive as the day was the largest event they had arranged this summer.

Enterprise and development team leader Debbie Wells explained the importance of the day to end the centre's packed programme of summer activities.

She said: "This is our main fundraising annual event. All the money raised today goes straight back into the trust to help support people with learning

disabilities.

"We haven't really done an event this big before."

Jen Sears, the events manager with the trust, agreed.

"We started hosting events five years ago because funding for these sorts of projects was cut.

"With all our events, the aim is to raise awareness but with big ones like this we hope to make as much money as possible for the trust.

"It's great that the people we support are able to work upfront with the visitors.

They love it and it gives children the chance to meet them and understand learning difficulties more.

"What we want is to be part of the community," she said.

King Kong was provided by Area 51, an entertainments company, and was operated by two men alternately between slots.

For Adam Colclough, being inside the suit proved warm on the summer's day.

He said: "It's a lot of work and is very hot in here but it's been lovely."

His colleague, Craig Rocks, was there as Kong's keeper. To coax Kong out into public Craig asked families to shout 'Kong!' three times.

He said: "It's been really good. The kids have been a mix of scared and excited.

"There was one little boy who wanted to fight Kong!"

Many of the children there were thrilled to have met the giant creature.

Maddox Matthews, aged four, from

West Wittering, said: "He was good, I didn't find him scary. I wanted to feed him a banana. He was fluffy like a puppy."

His friend, Ethan Ryan, also aged four, agreed: "He's good. I got to touch him."

Ethan's mum, Jo, explained that they visit the centre regularly.

She said: "We come here all the time, it's fantastic.

"I was surprised by how big King Kong was."

Seven-year-old Lily Argle was also surprised by the scale of Kong.

"I like him. He made me jump when he first came out. He's very big," she said.

Lily was there with her great aunt and uncle, Heather and James Honeyman.

Heather admitted Kong was scary. She said: "He frightened me at first. He's very soft though."

Also there to meet Kong were some of the people supported by the trust.

Ellie Cooper, 25, from Billingshurst, was pleased to be involved.

"Kong's a bit spooky but he's OK. The kids are enjoying it. I've heard a lot of them say 'wow'.

"I love these events. They make me go home feeling proud," she said.

Forty-seven-year-old John Murrell, from Bognor Regis, was of the same mindset. He said: "All our events go very well and people have fun."

Chichester resident Vicky Mearns, 34, made sure she took plenty of photographs, pictured far left.

"It's been really good. It's a bit scary when he comes in close though," she said.

Unique student rooms open STUDENTS have been banned from bringing cars to their unique accommodation in Bognor Regis.

The Villa Maria scheme of 14 studio apartments and three four-bed cluster flats is believed to be a first for the town.

The 26 occupiers of the mixture of newly-built and converted properties developed by Fresh Invest moved in on Sunday.

Their leases specifically rule out having vehicles with them during their time in the Campbell Road property.

One of the company’s directors said having car-free rooms made sense. “This is the way student accommodation is going,” said Danny Gray.

“This is a town centre location and it would be totally unfair for the students to have cars and add to the congestion on the roads.

“The university campus is a fiveminute walk away and this is close to the bus route to Chichester and the local shops.

“There is no need for anyone who

lives here to have a car. If they want a car, they will have to find alternative accommodation, but it will be further away from the campus.”

Another of the conditions was the need for 24-hour management of the accommodation and Mr Gray said he accepted the concerns of the 11 households who had objected to the plans.

“I fully understand the views of residents. The history of student accommodation is of a lot of unmanaged

f Danny Gray in one of the rooms

houses in multiple occupation miles away from the campus. That’s not right for a residential area and for elderly couples and families to find themselves surrounded by students,” he said.

“But this scheme shows the way the market is moving – managed and close to the university, which should be the focus of the students’ time here.”

Villa Maria, in Campbell Road, had been a convent since the late 1970s.

The nuns were looking to move when the building was put up for sale for £650,000.

Fresh Direct spent a further sixfigure sum from last February on the building work and conversion as well as equipping the en-suite rooms to a high standard.

All the apartments and flats were snapped up within a month of being released by students whose homes are mostly within a two to three hour drive.

Mr Gray said the development was a sign of changing times in Bognor Regis.

"All of us involved in the company live locally and we have seen how the university have been growing over the past few years,” he said. “Having looked at the provision of accommodation in Bognor Regis, it made sense to consider developing in this area.

“Bognor Regis is becoming more of a student town. We have student accommodation in Portsmouth and Southampton and the universities have brought those cities up.

“It would be good if Bognor Regis went the same way. The expansion of the University of Chichester’s campus in the town can bring a lot of economic benefit to the town and get it buzzing like those cities and others around the country.”

` Pensions meetings WOMEN fighting for better pensions have held meetings in Chichester and Bognor Regis this week.

Members of the Bognor and Chichester South Coast group of Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) staged the sessions to gather more interest to their cause.

Jill Robertson, Waspi's area coordinator, said: "Our listed number now number just over 100. It has been a steady rise.

"Unison are now helping with a section for Waspi on their main website. We are still hearing stories of women that just don't have any idea."

Waspi is campaigning against the speed at which the government is increasing the women's state pension age from 60 to 66 to match the age for men on the way to further increases in future decades.

The first meeting took place on Tuesday at Crispins Cafe in East Street in Chichester. The second was at the Scout Hall in Middleton last night.

"We are promoting that women should contact the Department for Work and Pensions with complaints about the maladministration of how the changes have been handled," added Jill.

` Drugs haul in town A MAN was arrested in Bognor Regis town centre this week in possession of a large amount of illegal drugs.

The man was caught by Sussex Police on Wednesday in Queensway after he was found to have a quantity of crack cocaine and heroin on him.

He was released by the police while the matter is under investigation.

Builders' baking skills to help hospices' work f Having fun in North Bersted in the summer

Summer goes on until September SUMMER fun stretched into this month for lucky children in North Bersted.

They were able to enjoy an extra day of the annual play scheme at Jubilee Fields off Chalcraft Lane.

Bersted Parish Council arranged with the play providers for the additional session last Friday to make up for bad weather earlier in the school holiday.

Parish council clerk Debbie Holcombe said: "The day has been really popular and has gone very well.

"There's a huge slide, bouncy castle and zorbing for the children to enjoy.

"On Tuesday, the playing field was really packed with families who stayed all day.

"It's impossible to give numbers but you could tell there were a lot of people here because of the amount of noise and activity."

The sessions also continued until last Friday morning, as planned, off Bronze Close in the Trees Estate.

They began on July 31 and were the latest of the annual play schemes to be staged by the parish council for families in its area.

Those on the Jubilee Fields were weekly, those off Bronze Close three times a week and twice-weekly at the village green in Bersted Park.

"We like to give something to our local families to enjoy during the summer and this is our way of doing that," added Mrs Holcombe.

A BUILDERS' bake off will be one of the fundraising ideas a Bognor Regis and Chichester company is staging next week to help hospices.

Covers timber and builders' merchants is aiming to raise more than £30,000 to support hospices across the south east.

They will include St Wilfrid's Hospice in Chichester and Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice in Arundel.

The firm's third help for hospices week is being staged from Monday to Friday.

One of the activities will see volunteers from the two hospices join Covers staff at their Station Yard depot in Bognor Regis

for a builders' bake off to sell a delicious array of homemade cakes and biscuits.

Rupert Green, chairman of Covers, said: "We're delighted once again to be raising money for such a fantastic cause.

"Here at Covers we pride ourselves on offering support to the local community.

"I look forward to welcoming as many people as possible to the bake off and to announcing the total amount raised for our third Help for Hospices week in October."

The generous company has pledged £20,000 of its money to kick-start the campaign and to encourage others to get

involved.

Each registered customer who makes a purchase from the company during next week will also trigger a £5 donation.

Raffle tickets are also on sale at all Covers' depots across the south east until September 29. The great prizes include a £500 Covers' home improvements voucher. Tickets for the raffle cost £1 each or £10 for a book of ten.

St Barnabas House opened in 1973 and looks after adults who are approaching end of their lives.

Chestnut Tree House is the only children's hospice in Sussex.

"There are plenty of free and ticketed musical events taking place during this four day festival."

"Relive the beloved romantic comedy on stage in this non-stop, high-energy musical."

IN THE penultimate event of its 2017 season, Arundel Castle will play host to the exhilarating Pirates and Smugglers Day. Visitors will come face to face with brigands and cut-throats from the 18th century, a period when smugglers freely roamed across Sussex.

A motley crew of murderers, street urchins, innkeepers and even priests made up the smuggling networks in Georgian communities – and Arundel was no exception.

With the castle in ruins in the 1700s, the River Arun served as an unguarded gateway into the heart of southern England – perfect

for money hungry smugglers and their piratical business partners.

Set in the keep, 30 feet above ground level, Arundel Castle’s Pirates and Smugglers Day will give visitors a window into the day-to-day life of an 18th century smuggler with periodaccurate craft displays and thrilling weaponry demonstrations.

Over the course of the event, visitors will also come face to face with the crew of The Mermaid and hear spine-tingling tales of their exploits in Arundel, throughout Sussex and on the high seas.

Castle manager Stephen Manion hoped to make stories from the time as interesting as possible.

He said: “This event aims to bring the period to life in an entertaining and engaging way."

Visitors are welcome to don their finest pirate garb for the day.

My first white wine selection is not currently on offer, but is good value for £7 and is a summer sensation in the form of a Tesco finest Les Costières De Poméroles Picpoul De Pinet of 2016 vintage.

Picpoul is the grape and Picpoul De Pinet the small appellation in the Languedoc region of Southern France located between Pézenas and Sète and it is worthy of note that the literal translation of Picpoul is 'lip-stinger' on account of its refreshing nature. Pear and apple fruit flavours abound with a slight spritz and lemony zing and this wine will become a firm favourite at late summer and early autumn parties!

My next selection for an offer price of £7 50 is a Mud House 2016 New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc proving to be very fruity and vibrant on the palate, oozing citrus fruit and passion fruit and one to serve well chilled - the long refreshing finish is memorable!

Next choice, a line reduced to clear and, according to my Tesco receipt, on

offer at just over £6 is a scrumptious Sieur d' Arques Première Bulle Rosé of 2014 vintage, a sparkling rosé wine from the region of Blanquette de Limoux in France made from chenin, mauzac and chardonnay grapes and proving to be very dry, delightfully refreshing with raspberry on the nose and jolly nice bubbles!

An enchanting fun little number to regale your palate! My diversion this week involves displacement to a Tesco Express shop where I espied a Tesco's finest 2016 Pouilly Fumé curiously reduced to £9.60, so I felt compelled to purchase two bottles

thereof and noted the cleanliness on the palate, fine balanced acidity and lingering after-taste coupled with gooseberry and citrus flavours and a hint of flint!

Reverting to mainstream Tesco's, my selection in the red section includes a Ca'Marrone Rosso IGT Puglia Appassimento of 2015 vintage priced alluringly at a mere £6.50.

This Italian gem is rich and complex oozing blackcurrant and dried fruits and secondary notes followed with leather, tobacco and spice with a hint of chocolate in the after-taste.

PostDinner

Flavoursome, along with a fragrant nose, this wine exemplifies the quality of modern-day Italian wines and is thus my unequivocal wine of the week! At £7.50, the Tesco finest 2016 Saint-Chinian is a wine from southern France's Languedoc Roussillon wine region, located between Minervois and Faugères, producing robust red wines and this one from syrah and grenache grapes is a cosy red which is both mellow and brambly and has a good

Equally priced at £7.50 is the 2016 Tesco's finest Mendoza Malbec which exudes blackberry and plum flavours with a subtle hint of spice and could be your regular autumnal tipple.

My ultimate selection is the 2012 Baron De Ley Rioja Reserva which has good structure and soft tannins and boasts dark fruit flavours, spice and hints of vanilla, on offer at £10 and justifying its price tag!

Protecting your immune system to regain health LIVING with an autoimmune disease can be a lonely experience. Many people wait years to find out why they're sick, and once they're finally diagnosed, they receive few options from their medical health carer, which can leave a patient feeling depressed and even helpless.

The problem with some mainstream care, is an outdated model that treats your body like a machine with separate parts. You're diagnosed with a disease, and it's matched with a corresponding medication.

If you can't be diagnosed, you're often labelled as depressed and given an anti depressant.

You're referred from specialist to specialist: gastroenterologists, endocrinologists and rheumatologists, and given more drugs, namely immunosuppressants or steroids.

In reality, your body is a complex, interconnected web of brilliant biochemistry. There are no magic pills, and unfortunately, the more medication that a person is receiving, the more side effects can occur.

I am not saying for one moment that medication does not work in some cases, but the body has an incredible way of healing itself, given the right tools to work with.

The epidemic rise in autoimmune conditions in my eyes, is getting scarily out of control. I see it more and more in my clinics, and often people wait to see someone like me, for years.

My view is to jump on any symptoms you are experiencing as soon as possible. Do not delay, because you don’t even necessarily need a diagnosis. Treating the symptoms is the only way forward.

Autoimmune conditions often start with a

our immune systems and regain our health. Here are some great tips to start taking your health back into your own hands and reclaiming your life: 1. Keep your gut happy: Your gut is where the majority of your immune system resides. When your gut's protective lining is compromised, it can give rise to an autoimmune response throughout your body. Looking after your digestion, taking probiotics and eating plenty of raw foods to increase your enzyme activity is vitally important.

2. Keep your immune system strong: It's no joke that you need to eat your greens! They are full of iron and protein and you need them in abundance every day. Exercise, healing herbs and a healthy mind set are all key to good health. Avoid sugar and process foods at all costs. This in turn will help the body's natural detoxification process.

3. Add green tea and turmeric into your diet: These foods have been shown to dampen the autoimmune response in the body, especially the brain. Turmeric I talk about all the time, and its an incredible anti inflammatory herb as well as being one of natures immune boosters.

4. Avoid refined table salt: Table salt is said to aggravate and increase some autoimmune conditions. So avoid putting it on your food, and avoid foods with it in - Always read labels.

5. Manage stress: It's no surprise that chronic stress is like fuel for an autoimmune condition. Many of my patients even noticed the onset of their condition to have first appeared during very stressful life events.

genetic susceptibility, but there are many external factors that are also linked with autoimmunity. The old view of genetics was that if your parents had a disease, you were predestined to have this health condition. This is now known not to be strictly true, however, science takes into account the field of epigenetics, or the lifestyle and environmental factors that instruct your genes how to be expressed.

The foods you eat or don't eat, the nutrients you are taking or not taking, your stress levels, sleep habits and exposure to toxins are dynamically determining how your body is going to function. So instead of viewing genetics as an immutable verdict on your life, we have to take into consideration how these epigenetic factors are turning on and off good and bad genes.

When it comes to autoimmune conditions, once that genetic switch has been turned on, it doesn't turn off again. With that said, the autoimmune response can be dampened and reversed tremendously, naturally. It's up to us to modulate

Health & Beauty 25

Regular practice of meditation, yoga or tai chi can help give you tools to better manage stress and balance your immune system.

6. Increase your glutathione levels: This nutrient is deficient in many people with poor health. Eating plenty of sulfur-rich vegetables like onions, cabbage and broccoli aid in methylation, a biochemical pathway which produces glutathione naturally.

Bringing it all together: Autoimmune disease is not curable, but can be manageable, and there's so much you can do naturally to put your autoimmune into remission. These tips are great steps to begin the process of reversing autoimmune disease and living a vibrant, healthy life. I've seen countless people with horrible autoimmune symptoms completely regain their health.

Community News & Views Sir The A27 plans for the Arundel bypass lack vision and residents' voices have been ignored.

Highways England's decision-making processes are consistently confounding: the purple route solution put forward by the people of Arundel has been disregarded in favour of serving up the same reheated options that have long since passed their sell-by dates.

The rehashed plans will cause untold environmental damage to our beautiful South Downs National Park and exacerbate an already alarming air quality crisis.

More than that, a new dual-carriageway is destined to fail on its own terms. Every option on the table will bring more cars to the area and increase congestion. If you sow roads, you reap traffic.

That the Conservative government persists with an outdated infrastructure agenda that unquestionably casts 'car as king' and proposes 'build more roads' as the solution to every transport issue, whatever the cost, is dumbfounding.

Invested wisely in sustainable public transport, walking and cycling alternatives, the money currently set aside for A27 expansion could be used to genuinely improve the quality of life for people in Arundel and the surrounding area.

What we have now, sadly, is a consultation that lacks vision and I stand with local campaigners in calling for a re-think and a re-run - with the addition of long-term, sustainable options.

Keith Taylor Green Party MEP for the South East European Parliament Brussels

TABLE TENNIS player Basil Boxall has proved age is no barrier. Bognor Regis team member Basil has received an award from the South West Sussex Table Tennis League to recognise his achievement of playing in its matches for more than 70 years.

Basil, 87, began to play in the league in the 1940s and has competed in every season since - apart from the two years he spent on his national service.

The amazing feat was recognised with the Chairman's Award at the league's annual meeting. Basil, pictured above left, was presented with the trophy by league chairman Chris Newberry.

Flying the flag for youth at the meeting was Nathan White, of Arundel Table Tennis Club, who was awarded the Most Improved Junior Player recognition for the 2016/17 season for his performances in Division Two. Nathan and his team-mate, Rylie Leonnard, also received medals for winning the league's 2016 Summer League competition.

The Arundel club's first team - Mike White, Ivan Gardner and Adam Corell - were presented with the trophy for winning Division One, with North Mundham TTC's first team (Chris Newberry, Peter Baldwin and Jarek Klamut) picking up the runners-up award.

Eastergate II (Alan Brackenbury, Peter Crosby and Darren Wadey) received the trophy for winning Division Two. The league is accepting entries for players who would like to compete in its 2017/18 season, which starts early next month.

Players of all levels of ability are welcome. Beginners are encouraged to join a local club which can provide help with playing and finding a team.

OLD FRIENDSHIPS were renewed when residents of a Chichester home enjoyed the chance to attend a church service.

Those who live in Marriott House and Lodge were invited to the service, held by the Chichester Anna Chaplaincy at Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church in Bosham.

The chaplaincy is supported by many of Chichester's churches and it provides spiritual support to older people as well as their families and carers.

A spokeswoman for the home said: "The whole service was so well organised and our residents and staff really felt part of it.

"One resident managed to meet some of his old friends who he attended church with many years ago.

"This has meant that they have been able to arrange for them to visit him in the home.

FORMER Weald & Downland Living Museum director Richard Pailthorpe will be the speaker at the next meeting of Chichester Probus Club.

Mr Pailthorpe will talk about the rescued traditional rural buildings, pictured above, set in 40 acres of the beautiful landscape of the South Downs National Park.

He will tell stories of some of the men, women and children who lived and worked in them. The meeting will take

"Another resident who was previously a Canon was chatting to many people which is something that made him feel so valued.

"The whole morning was appreciated by all our residents and they are looking forward to future opportunities to engage with individuals from the local community."

The occasion provided the chance for residents and staff of care homes in the area to join members of the Anna Chaplaincy and members of the community for a short service.

Delicious refreshments also added to the enjoyment of all those who took part.

The spokeswoman added that the amount of assistance provided as well to enable the residents to get into the church and support them throughout the service and back to their minibus was appreciated.

As well as the lunches and talks, coffee mornings are held in Chichester, a social programme is arranged and a monthly walk organised.

THREE stretches of coastline across West Sussex have been included in the latest work on the England Coastal Path.

Natural England has announced work has begun on every area of the path to create the world's longest continuous coastal trail.

In West Sussex, the stretches which feature in the project are South Hayling in Hampshire to East Head, East Head to Shoreham and Shoreham to Eastbourne in East Sussex.

Ramblers' volunteers are working with Natural England to discuss the best route the coastal path should take for those areas.

Nicky Philpott, the Ramblers director of advocacy and engagement, said last Friday: "This is a huge milestone in the story of the England Coast Path and one we should all celebrate.

"Building sandcastles on the beach, dipping toes in the sea and taking a stroll along clifftops are favourite activities that cross generations and bring us all together.

"So, it might surprise you that, until recently, a third of England's coastline was inaccessible.

"The Ramblers has long dreamed of a country where everyone can freely enjoy our beautiful coast, so we were pleased that, after years of campaigning, work started on the England Coastal Path in 2010."

Natural England has been working with landowners, local authorities and others to open up stretches of the path.

Ramblers' volunteers have worked tirelessly to walk and survey swathes of coast, mapping out the best route for walkers.

"We'd like to thank our wonderful volunteers who have spent hours exploring possible routes for the path. Using their local knowledge and thinking with their feet, they are helping to ensure that the England Coast Path is not just a path but one of the most incredible walking trails in the world," said Nicky.

The government hopes to complete the coast path by 2020. At almost 3,000 miles long, the path will stretch around the entire English coastline.

Not only will it open up new paths, it will create new areas of open access land so people can freely explore headlands, cliffs and beaches, right up to the water's edge.

Ramblers are keen to ensure plans are put in place to maintain the path once it is completed and has become a national trail.

YOUNG talent will have its time to shine in Bognor Regis at this year's Southdowns Folk Festival.

As part of the festival, aspiring folk musicians as well as school children will have a chance to perform during the four-day event.

Musicians aged between eight and 21 are encouraged to take part in the Sussex Young Folk competition and students from various primary schools in the area will be singing at the Alexandra Theatre.

As part of the Schools Link projects, students from St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Nyewood CE Junior School and Rose Green Junior School among others will come together on September 23 at 1.45pm to perform as choirs at the Alexandra Theatre.

Approximately 150 children aged between seven and nine years are expected to take part. Tickets to watch this concert cost ÂŁ5.

The following day, the popular Sussex Young Folk competition invites young folk and roots musicians to share their song covers or original compositions with audiences. Participants can be soloists, duos or bands.

The winner, such as last year's Anouska - pictured above, will receive a new guitar and the opportunity to perform a 20 minute set that evening at the Alexandra Theatre as the support act for folk singer Richard Digance.

It's free to enter and takes place at the William Hardwicke on September 24 at 1.30pm. To find out more about this and the Schools Link Project visit southdownsfolkfest.co.uk

Architects have left their mark on the town Distinctive styles are recognisable from the 17th century I ONCE came across a pamphlet produced in 1949 entitled Georgian and Regency Architecture in Bognor. This small pamphlet then set me off on a number of enquiries about the content of the book. When were the Georgian and the Regency periods? Do we have any particular buildings of note from this period? Who were the designers? What has happened since?

First we should look at the periods. The Georgian style of architecture covered a period from 1720 to 1800. This would then encompass the period before Sir Richard Hotham’s death and include the many constructions which contributed to his arrival in this small fishing village. The main sphere of this development contains the likes of Hotham Park House, Spencer Terrace and The Dome, currently used in a very 21st century manner as either flats or as part of the University of Chichester.

He also constructed East Row and Hothampton Place, long since demolished.

The Dome House was once described by Mr A Dale, the author of Fashionable Brighton, as 'the best example of late 18th century work in any seaside town in Sussex'. Some accolade for any building and it is of course still with us today.

The Regency period covered a very short

time between 1810 and 1820 and this is defined as the time when King George III was deemed unfit to be king and his son ruled as Prince Regent.

One of the features of this era is the canopied buildings that existed. There are a number still surviving - Valhalla in the High Street; Culver Cottage, Aldwick; and Albert Terrace in the High Street.

At this time, there was the construction of the Webster & Webb building in the High Street and we should not forget, of course, the William Hardwicke in the High Street, constructed in 1815 as a coaching house called the New Inn. It later became The Sussex and in July, 2000, it was changed to the William Hardwicke.

One of the early architects in the town was William Kimber Wonham and his brother Daniel Wonham and it is their names that continually appeared with the new constructions in this developing seaside resort. For example, a number of homes in Waterloo Square. Around 1835, the Bognor Improvement Company employed Sir James Pennethorne to design the layout for the eastern end of the town, i.e. from Waterloo Square to Gloucester Road.

Another name is that of Cecil Stillman who was at one time county architect for West

The William Hardwicke was built in the High Street in 1815

f A familiar sight to strollers along the seafront

f The Mansions is a fine example of a period building

f Bognor Regis Town Hall

Sussex and was involved in the designs for the Bognor Regis police station, and the then named Westloats School.

Then was the Victorian period. In the year Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837 it fell to William Wonham to build the Bognor Club in Sudley Road - still there today. Many of the constructions from this period, including some of the convalescent homes on the seafront, have long since been demolished. However, the Royal Bay Nursing Home in Aldwick Road still remains.

Next we have the 20th century. What notable buildings we do still have from this period are considered to be stylish. We could include the town hall which was designed

by Charles Cowles Voysey and built in 1929.

Mr Voysey was born on June 24, 1889, and died at the age of 91 in April, 1981. His first major building was the White Rock Pavilion at Hastings, which won a national design competition in 1922.

His design for Worthing Town Hall was included in a list of outstanding buildings in the 1930s. When the current town hall was opened, it was described as ‘of high architectural merit – neat but not gaudy.

It is slightly classical in style, sedate and impressively free from irrelevant ornamentations'.

Not all buildings constructed in any era are worthy of note. For example, would we include the building in the High Street today occupied by Stonepillow, which clearly shows it was also constructed in 1929, and is next to the 1899 Lock Centre building?

Will the 20th century be remembered for the phenomenon that has become known as The Bungalow, which was in fact an import from

India? They were used for a time as a retreat to the country or seaside style of building. In the 1920s, the boom took place in the building of these single-storey buildings. Locally, they have been built in estates in Pagham, Rose Green and North Bersted.

Another major era for the town was the 1960s when there were major constructions in the town centre, with the demolition of much older buildings which were replaced by the very modern Fitzleet and Queensway. At the time, it was promoted as one of the great achievements in the town.

Finally, we have the 21st century – which will be interesting as constructions can range from the extremely modernistic to copies of previous eras as can be seen side by side on The Esplanade, where one block of flats was advertised as having an ‘Edwardian appearance'. The other construction is very much a glass and chrome construction.

The new Shoreline Hotel within Butlin’s has been designed and constructed in the 21st century but would it come within the remit of memorable architecture, or should that be the Butlin’s Skyline Pavilion?

Looking back to that 1949 pamphlet, exhibition and newspaper reports it is interesting to see how similar their views were on the development of the town compared with today’s views. There were comments written that include such remarks as 'It is hoped that wisdom and an affection for Bognor will guide the hands of those who now control the destiny of Sir Richard Hotham’s little watering place'. Therefore, when we look around our town we should look at what we have created and finally wonder how our legacy will be viewed in 50 years.

Small car buyers can reduce emissions and save £2,000 with the Kia Scrappage scheme KIA Motors (UK) Limited is launching a Scrappage Scheme worth £2,000 to motorists wanting to switch a car over seven years old – echoing Kia’s industry-leading warranty for an all-new Picanto or an all-new Rio – the brand’s low-emission models.

Available immediately at all Kia dealers the scheme guarantees the scrappage bonus on Kia’s latest small cars when any old car is traded in for destruction. The bonus is in lieu of all other offers on retail sales only.

Kia’s President and Chief executive Paul Philpott said: “A number of scrappage schemes – many applying only to bigger models with higher emission levels - have been launched recently, but the Kia seven year switch scrappage scheme is simple and easy to understand. It applies to all versions of the low-emission Picanto and Rio ranges and is guaranteed as long as the buyer of the new car is also the owner of the car being scrapped.

` Test drive the all-new Kia Scrappage, 65 Aldwick Road, Bognor Regis ` Call 01243 841200

“Both our small cars, Picanto and Rio, have dramatically improved emission levels compared to the previous models – by as much as 73 grammes per kilometre so owners of cars over seven years old can get the latest safety equipment, technology and comfort as well as helping reduce emissions generally and saving themselves a good amount of money in the process,” he added.

With the brand expecting to sell at least 4,500 Picanto and Rio models in the last quarter of 2017 that could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 1.6 metric tonnes over a similar period of ownership – PO21 2NWand that is even if every Picanto or Rio simply replaces a seven year old similar model! Older cars of

any type are eligible for the scrappage bonus and could mean even better levels of emission reduction.

The Kia Scrappage Scheme requires no special measures by customers – as long as the details of the old vehicle owner and the new Kia buyer match the bonus is guaranteed. The Kia dealer will complete all the paperwork and arrange for the old vehicle to be destroyed through regulated and established channels.

The scheme runs until the end of December 2017.

To take advantage of The Kia Scrappage Scheme call into Newbarn Kia, 65 Aldwick Road, Bognor Regis PO21 2NW or telephone 01243 841200.

Blues seeking back-to-back wins PostSport after felling Oaks with four tries CHICHESTER RFC will be looking to make it two wins from two to kick-start life in London and South East Division One south.

The Blues head west to Tottonians on the other side of Southampton tomorrow (3pm) keen to make it back-to-back wins after suffering relegation last term.

The match is set to be a test of the ambitions of the team under the direction of new coach Scott Ashley, against their hosts.

They do so after chalking up a bonus point victory over Sevenoaks in front of a home crowd at Oaklands Park.

Blues gave first team debuts to three young players - Tom Hutchin was full back, Jamie Wilcock outside centre and back Eddie Hillyer on the bench.

After falling behind to an early penalty, Chi took charge After winning an attacking lineout, snappy passes across the backs gave space for Nat Jackson to score at the right corner.

Scrum half Gareth Anscombe added a penalty before Chris Johnson piled over to make it 13-3 at the break.

Once again, the Blues started sluggishly and Sevenoaks punished them with a converted try.

Chichester stepped up and went to work. Fly

half Richard Adams sent a measured high kick to the right wing and Jackson caught tidily to score his second try to make the score 18-10.

The final nail in the Oaks' timber coffin was a thing of real beauty. Johnson made a break and the ball was whipped across to left winger Ben Robson. He raced along the touchline, coped with a tackle and offloaded.

Five players then handled before Jack Bentall scored the try of this season so far.

Chi will make the trip to Totton without influential lock Phil Dickin, who has been forced to retire from rugby due to persistent injuries.

Club spokesman Roger Gould said: "Phil has been a versatile and very skilful player for the 1st XV over 11 seasons. He came through the junior teams and made his debut for the Blues at the age of 18.

"A fine all- round sportsman, he has always been fair on the pitch and modest and easygoing off it. We will all miss him wearing the Blue but look forward to him joining the supporters regularly on the touchline." * Bognor RFC kick-off their campaign in Hampshire One tomorrow with a home match against Overton at Hampshire Avenue tomorrow (3pm).

DARTS: As the Bognor Friday Nights Summer Darts season nears its end, the Divisional Pairs knockouts took place at the Newtown Social Club.

Division 3 saw 14 pairs take to the oche with the final coming down to Simon Edwards & Michael Hoare (Richmond 'B') against Steve & Dan Middleton (Newtown 'C').

It was a match of good scoring with a ton from Dan Middleton and a 125 from Edwards, but both teams had double trouble. Eventually, Steve Middleton hit double 12 to take the first leg.

The second leg saw the better darts come from Edwards & Hoare. With 152 left Hoare stepped up, hitting treble 19, and another treble 19, but the last dart was just inside the double 19. It was left to Edwards to secure the leg on his next turn. The last leg saw tons from Edwards and Steve Middleton, but Edwards & Hoare were scoring steadily and eventually hit double 1 to secure the title.

Division 2 saw 15 pairs step up with Ben Todd & Mick Isles (BRSA Ravens) and Richard Pennells & Stuart Gray (QE2 Galleon) facing off in the final.

f Chi burst through the visitors' defence

After one ton from each team, Todd & Isles had first shot at a double. But, as both sides struggled to finish, it was Pennells who took the leg. The second leg saw Pennells & Gray forge ahead and hit the double to win the crown as their opponents encoutered scoring trouble.

f Jack Bentall touches down for the Blues to secure a bonus point win against Sevenoaks

Falcons on verge of lifting league title

f Falcons' Bronte Harvey takes aim

CHICHESTER Falcons are within touching distance of taking the Division Two title after chalking up back-to-back wins in a busy weekend of action.

The Falcons doubled off against Southampton Spitfires and Redbridge Raiders in a sizzling double header in the sunshine at Wide Lane Sports Ground in Southampton.

Both opponents were from a lower division but the Falcons took no chances and dispatched both their Hampshire opponents within four innings on a mercy rule.

It means Chi can now take the title if they win their final match of the 2017 season at home to veteran side The OAPs. Infielder Cary Chen was unlucky at bat, with a series of fierce liners caught at third base.

But Harsha Desai shored up, hitting 8 for 8 on the day, all singles and holding her own at catcher position.

David Morris and Stefan Panayotopoulos kept things steady in centre outfield with a few routine fly catches and a trickle of singles

and doubles.

Pitcher James Wheeler outclassed everybody at bat with four home runs, two of which remarkably came from one single inning as the Falcons batted around the order.

Not far behind was shortstop Oliver Howley, with a homer of his own preceding four extra base hits to put the final nail in for the Raiders.

First baseman Lucy Morris quietly put in a faultless performance in the field as the Falcons ran off with 26-6 and 28-4 respective wins.

Attention now turns to the match at Oaklands Park against The OAPs. Win and the Falcons will be lifting some more silverware just a few years after being founded.

After losing just four times all term, the money will be on Chi to come out on top in the final match of the season.

The first leg was taken by Blackwood & Bryant in 18 darts after three tons on the trot, despite a ton and three scores in the 80's from Walker & Warren.

The second leg was closer with Walker & Warren in the lead. But with 128 left, Blackwood stepped up and hit two treble 18s, followed by double 10, taking the win and the division one crown.

BOWLS: Selsey's Little Spain BC held their third Spoons Drive Competition of the season at the weekend - and Peter Armsby completed his hat trick of wins, each with different partners, when he picked up his third spoon of the year.

Armsby played with Joan Spicer who had an excellent game as the skip of the twosome.

On a lighter note, Little Spain BC held their annual Bowlers v Golfers match and after some fine bowling, and many putts being sunk (or was that pints!), the result was an honourable draw.

Pagham's valiant effort takes them close to cup giant-killing

f Middleton skipper Sean Heather

Bognor safe & Chi celebrate BOGNOR secured their Division Two status for another year with a thrilling five-wicket victory.

In a nerve-racking tie where the losers would be relegated, Max Ashmore's side outclassed Worthing throughout, reaching the target of 170 with plenty to spare and condemning their rivals to the drop.

Elsewhere on the final day of action for the year, Middleton secured their Premier League status while Chichester Priory Park were crowned Division Three champions.

But it was at the Regis Oval where local attention was fixed as Bognor secured their league status for another year.

It has been a frustrating season for Ashmore's XI as his side have struggled to secure wins, mainly down to poor performances with the bat.

But recent weeks have seen Bognor hit their stride, meaning they went into the last game of the season needing a victory over Worthing to keep their place in the second tier.

After the visitors won the toss and chose to bat, Bognor's opening bowlers made their mark with Jerome Jones (334) and Josh Sargeant (2-25)

reducing Worthing to 24-4.

Barry Coll (66) led the recovery. But once he was dismissed, they limped on to a total of 169 in 45 overs.

In reply, Bognor held their nerve with Mikey Harris (28), Jim Fallick (29) and Jones (35*) all contributing as they reached the score with more than seven overs to spare.

In the Premier Division, Middleton rounded off their campaign with a disappointing 46-run defeat to Brighton & Hove.

After bowling out the visitors for 228 - in part due to Tommy Davies taking 4-36, Sean Heather's side were dismissed for 182 with only Nick Smith (64) and Patrick Colvin (41) putting up much resistance.

That ensured a seventh place finish for Middleton, a good return in a competitive league.

In division three, Chichester Priory Park were crowned champions after a four-wicket win over title rivals Crawley Eagles.

Daniel Joseph (5-28) was the pick of the bowlers before Chi reached the total of 173 with Ben Caldera (59*) and Jonathon Heaven (29*) guiding the side home with five overs to spare.

PAGHAM have a weekend off to reflect on what could have been after falling just short of another FA Cup shock.

After beating Isthmian South side Sittingbourne in the previous round, the Lions pushed another higher league opponent all the way in first qualifying round.

Early strikes from Terrell Lewis and Callum Overton put the SCFL Premier side 2-0 up at Isthmian South side Carshalton Athletic.

But a second half comeback from the home side saw them go through. After falling behind 3-2 Scott Murfin did equalise with ten minutes to go. But the higher league opponents eventually came out 5-3 victors.

Perhaps tired from that stellar effort, Pagham lost to Three Bridges 3-1 in the SCFL Premier on Tuesday night, Joe Booker getting the goal.

The Lions have this weekend off, although they will return to action next Tuesday when they make the short trip to Littlehampton Town in the league.

With the FA Cup attention over for another year, the management duo of Richie Hellen and Tom Simmonds will be hoping for three points against the Golds.

'Chi have underachieved so far' Ne

CHICHESTER City boss Miles Rutherford believes his side have what it takes to turn their season around after an inconsistent start to the campaign.

The Lillywhites maintained their 100 per cent home record with a 5-3 victory over Worthing United at Oaklands Park on Saturday.

The win was all the more remarkable after City were 3-1 behind at the break before substitute Scott Jones fired in a second half hat-trick.

But it is on the road where Rutherford's team have struggled, coming out on top in

just one of five matches so far. That poor form continued on Tuesday with a 2-2 draw at Crawley Down Gatwick, Dave Herbert and Jones scoring the goals.

That leaves Chi with plenty to dwell on as they have a mid-season break until September 16 thanks to other teams being in FA Vase action. Speaking after the Worthing United match, Rutherford said, “The players all need to be willing to play for 90 minutes, not 45 minutes. I've got eight or nine players that have not played consistently.

“We left Scott Jones out today but the

f Chi City's Scott Jones scored a hat-trick

attitude he showed when he came on in the second half is the attitude we're expecting from everyone.

"To be honest, we've underachieved this first month and we're not where we should be at this point.

“Our FA Cup loss in the opening match was disappointing and we've played poorly at times in August, losing two league games on the road.

“We're doing all right at home but we've got to play well consistently both home and away.

I'm confident we'll turn it round.”

In SCFL Division One, Selsey made it six wins from six to sit top of the division after beating Southwick and then Storrington in the space of four days.

Morgan Forry (2), Joseph Clarke (2), Ryan Hillier, Ryan Morey, and Jake Goulding all scored in the 7-0 victory over Southwick before Forry, Clarke and an OG were on the score sheet against Storrington.

Next up for the Blues is a league cup match against Billingshurst tomorrow at the High Street Ground (3pm).

Elsewhere, SCFL Division Two side Sidelsham travel to Surrey tomorrow to face Combined Counties Premier Division side Knaphill in the first round of the FA Vase (3pm).

The Sids are second in the table after winning two and drawing three of their first five games, the last a 1-1 draw at Westfield.

f Chi City's Jade Widdows

CHICHESTER City Ladies will be hoping their cup form will help to boost their league fortunes when they return to FA Women's Premier League action tomorrow.

Matt Wright's side have lost their first two matches after being promoted last term.

But the Green Army showed what they are capable of at this level with a crushing 4-1 victory over West Ham United last time out.

They now head to Cardiff City on Sunday (2pm) hoping to use that win to spark an upturn in form in the league and get their campaign started.

Last weekend's victory was based on a strong start in front of their home cowd.

Chichester welcomed Jade ‘Chucky’ Widdows back to the fold for her first outing

of the season while fellow newcomer, Chloe Tucker started on the bench.

The Green and Whites deservedly got their noses in front after 15 minutes through Jess Lewry, who scored from 20 yard.

The ever-present then added a second after the break with a flicked header.

After the visitors were reduced to ten, the Hammers did get back into it. But Cherelle Khassal and a Tucker freekick sealed a comfortable victory for Wright's side.

Elsewhere, the development squad started their league season with a 2-1 win over Hassocks Ladies in the South East Counties Women's Premier Division.

Goals by Lucy Cook and Loulou Robson secured the win.

Pearce pleas for fan patience over Rocks' winless streak Next Game

WEALDSTONE (A) Tomorrow, 3pm

BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce has urged supporters to be 'realistic' as the Rocks extended their winless streak to five.

With injuries stretching the squad to nearbreaking point, followers of the Nyewood Lane side have not experienced that winning feeling for close to a month.

But, with key players returning to fitness, the Rocks will look to rediscover top form when they make the trip to north-west London to play third-bottom Wealdstone tomorrow (3pm).

That's followed by a Tuesday night trip to face Hemel Hempstead Town on Tuesday night (7.45pm).

Officials at Nyewood Lane believe both games will be tough tests and be yet further proof that there are no easy games in National League South.

Speaking to the Post, Pearce said: "I go back to what I said at the start of the season, that this is a difficult league and there will not be too much in terms of quality between the team that finishes third bottom and the team that finishes in seventh in the play-offs.

"I can understand supporters getting upset when they are so used to success. But they do have to get in realistic world that this is a league that is a lot harder.

"At this moment in time, we do not have a strong enough squad to stay very competitive when we have injuries."

The Rocks showed plenty of fighting spirit last weekend when they visited league leaders Chelmsford City and returned with a point.

However, that good feeling quickly turned to frustration when Bognor were unable to defeat a managerless Hungerford Town team on Tuesday night.

The visitors bagged two second half goals with their first shots on target. Despite Jimmy Muitt scoring with 15 minutes to go, Bognor were unable to get back on equal terms with Sami El-Abd having a goal ruled out.

Despite losing a match they could have very easily won, Pearce said there was no rollicking handed out the players afterwards.

He said: "I actually thought is was one of worst performances of the season. We improved in the last 20 minutes but by that point consolation was all we could take from the game.

"It's fair to say the players were disappointed, the supporters disappointed and I was disappointed. Given Hungerford's league position they are the sort of games that we should be looking to claim three points from."

Both Ollie Pearce and Doug Tuck are set to return to action tomorrow against two big physical and powerful sides.

Pearce said: "The physicality of this league has perhaps affected us. But if we get back to full strength and play our football I have every confidence in what we can do."

'We'll keep looking for players' WHEN things are not going as planned on the pitch, the normal call from supporters is for a quick fix.

But, given the financial constraints in place at Nyewood Lane, these are not possible at Bognor.

Despite being down on players due to injuries in recent weeks, manager Jack Pearce is aware that there's not the depth of talent in the area to simply add to the squad without breaking the bank - which makes it difficult when looking to bolster the ranks when things are not going well.

Pearce said: "It may not be what supporters want to hear but we're not in a hotbed of lots of players at this level.

"I'm also very aware that Havant two years ago had double the wage bill that we have and they got relegated from this level. My eyes are not closed to that, and we will work as hard as can to make sure attract right type of player."

The Rocks have bolstered their ranks in the past week, signing 23-year-old Chinedu McKenzie on a month's loan from National League surprise package Maidenhead United.

While admitting he is pleased to have the former Romford player in the ranks, Pearce said the search for players would continue.

f New Rocks' signing Chinedu McKenzie

WELL it's been an interesting fortnight to say the least.

Obviously the results themselves have not been too great and neither have the performances. But on a personal level it's good to be back in the side.

Injuries never ever help as it means we have just not had a settled side. Yesterday I think was the first time since I've been back that we've had the same back four for consecutive matches.

But I think most fans will see that it's at the other end of the pitch where we've struggled. There’s no two ways about it - with Ollie injured or on the bench and Jimmy Muitt out wide after being out we've struggled for a natural goalscorer.

That's not to criticise the lads who have come in. But whereas at the start of the year we were scoring freely, no one expected that to continue when you have your front three out injured.

In the past couple of games, it's not like we have not been creating chances. Against East Thurrock and Eastbourne we didn't force their keeper into any saves.

But at Chelmsford it took them to make a few good stops to prevent us from getting the win. And then definitely on Tuesday we had a lot of the ball in their box, but we just couldn't make it count.

If we continue to do that there will be no panic. If we keep plugging away and get one or two back then we'll start scoring again.

When we went to Chelmsford, make no bones about it, we were second favourites. The bookies had them at 11/4 on to beat us - they had not dropped points at home all year.

For us to go there in the form they were, the budget they have and the players they've got and for us to keep a clean sheet was good. We had our fair share of chances, too, and in the first half we could have gone one or two up.

As it was, we settled for a

draw. I thought our back four were immense. I think it was the best game I have ever seen Calvin play for us. And to show that grit and determination to keep a clean sheet at the league leaders meant that coming into Hungerford at home we were hoping to carry that on.

Looking back on that match.

I think that if we would have won that game 5-2 then no one would've complained.

As it was, they had two shots and scored two goals (even though we gave them away through immature defending.)

After the match we were quite deflated as we know we shouldn't have lost - sometimes it can work out like that.

Next up is Wealdstone which is always a tough place to play football. Their fans get behind them and their pitch has got a long sloping corner which they use to their advantage.

I've played up there four or five times and not taken anything away from them.

Hemel is a new place although my sister's boyfriend played there a few years ago on loan so I've heard a little about how they play.

They will be a typical National South side who are big and strong, go forward early and don't give a lot away.

The one good thing about the league, though, is that anyone can beat anyone.

Plus, we'll be boosted with the return of Ollie and Doug Tuck. We've missed Doug in recent weeks because he's a calming influence on the ball, which helps us get control of games. And Ollie's record over the past year or so has been excellent, in terms of scoring and creating goals.

We've also got Chinedu in on loan (we just call him Chin).

His attitude has been spot on and he wants to learn how we play which says a lot about him.

On the whole, it's not panic stations. The games are close and we've been on the wrong end of a few results. But give it time and things will turn around.
