Bridge not financially viable

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk THE leader of Chichester District Council has defended the decision not to consider building a railway bridge and removing the level crossings in the city as part of the Southern Gateway Masterplan.

It comes after members of the public

addressed the council's cabinet at a meeting this week, expressing concerns about the masterplan.

Richard Hutchinson said: "The level crossings and resulting congestion has been a huge barrier for car drivers, cyclists and pedestrians wanting to enter the city from the south for decades.

"There will undoubtably be more frequent train services in the future, and the number of vehicles requiring access

to the city will also increase.

"Not to constructively plan for the eventuality is an abdication of responsibility by the council.

"Not to investigate all possible options for removing the crossings is neglecting their responsibilities and letting down Chichester.

"We all want a city centre that is pleasant for cyclists and pedestrians to use, but to try and achieve it by turning

a blind eye to a situation that exasperates thousands of local residents is not the way to achieve it."

However, the council said the project would cost at least ÂŁ10m to complete.

Council leader Tony Dignum said: "We've given the freeflow proposal careful consideration and have concluded that it's neither technically feasible or financially viable.

Council proposes parking changes

Private Announcement

The family of Frankie would like to thank the many readers that have helped look for Frankie and the many people that have contacted them.

"Frankie was found dead in Hacketts Rew Summersdale, believed to have been attacked by a dog and then thrown up into the bushes. It is an iron age pathway that runs between The Drive and Lavant. There have been several incidents of out of control dogs on this pathway and the dog warden is aware of it. These people cannot even be bothered to pick their dogs pooh up. We can only blame the careless owners that have no thought for others.

"Frankie lost his life because of this selfish person. If you have a dog that you cannot control get a muzzle and put it on a lead as it is your responsibility, not the dogs. I would also like to thank The Post for their kindness.

From a very upset and angry owner of Frankie."

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk PROPOSALS to increase parking charges across the district have been announced following a two-year freeze.

Leading councillors at Chichester District Council are proposing some minor changes to car parking charges.

Proposals include an increase of 10p per hour for up to a two-hour stay in long stay car parks.

Cabinet members agreed that some of the tariffs should be increased slightly, while others should be reduced, and that the new prices should be fixed for two years.

The council said the new pricing structure, which will now be consulted on, aims to make things simpler for drivers, help deal with capacity issues at some sites and help cover the direct costs of operating the car parks.

The changes have been put forward as part of the annual review of parking charges.

Cllr Tony Dignum, leader of Chichester District Council, said: "We are suggesting that some tariffs are slightly increased, some remain the same and that others go down.

"Our rural towns will still benefit from between one or two hours of free parking and we are suggesting that free parking is continued at the Sylvia Beaufoy car park in Petworth and the Crossfield car park in Fernhurst.

“Reviewing and amending our charges is important for a number of reasons.

They help to pay for the upkeep, running, management and maintenance of our car parks. This means that the user is paying for this, rather than all taxpayers.

"Also, they help to control the flow of cars entering and exiting the car parks.

This is really important to businesses, because if spaces are blocked for the whole day it prevents new customers from being able to park, to shop or use the local facilities.

"Also at times, demand is higher in certain car parks and so we believe that these proposals will be able to better balance the use of our car parks.

“We regularly monitor how our car parks are being used and compare our prices to neighbouring authorities to make sure that we are offering competitive rates."

The Sylvia Beaufoy car park in Petworth and the Crossfield Fernhurst car park will remain free of charge.

And long-stay charges between four and six hour stays will be reduced.

Some minor changes will be introduced to tariffs and charging periods in rural and coastal car parks so that charges are consistent across the towns.

Although the majority of car parks will remain free after 6pm, charges still apply for the Northgate and New Park Road car parks.

The cabinet also agreed to adopt Regulation 10 of the Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) General Directions 2007.

This enables local authorities to serve a penalty charge notice by post when drivers are abusive or drive away before they can be issued with one.

County council conducts a big review of road space in the city LEADING Chichester district councillors have said there are no current plans to close car parks in the city centre, except Basin Road car park, which has been identified as part of the Southern Gateway project.

Their comments are part of a response to a major examination of road space demands in the city, led by West Sussex County Council.

The council’s cabinet discussed its feedback to the road space audit which looks at current on and offstreet parking demand, plus issues including future demands and pressures on the road network and parking supply.

The aims of the audit are to create a

quieter, traffic-calmed city centre and ensure there is an appropriate amount of parking.

The audit makes several suggestions including introducing a residential on-street parking scheme to cover the whole of the urban area of Chichester.

This is to help protect parking for residents while also making use of surplus capacity so commuters can park in the daytime.

It also suggests reducing the number of traffic movements in the city centre by closing and redeveloping surface car parks within the city walls, and then introducing more short-stay spaces in the current long-stay car parks.

f Playing Roman games

Dementia patients enjoy an afternoon at Roman museum

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk PEOPLE suffering with dementia have been playing traditional Roman board games as part of a monthly event at Fishbourne Roman Palace.

The museum holds the event each month specifically for those living with dementia and their families.

It enables them to find out a bit more about Roman life and try a practical skill, enjoyed over a cup of tea or coffee.

This month's event saw people playing board games with counters that the Romans used to enjoy playing.

Katrina Burton is the property manager at Fishbourne Roman Palace. She said: "It's an opportunity to get together in an informal environment and learn a new

skill and do something a bit different. It's loosely based around what happens at the Roman Palace.

"Today we looked at board games that were played in Roman times.

"We want people to make connections with the games that they played as children."

Katrina said the sessions always generated a good response.

"It's very positive. They really enjoy it. They enjoy the social aspect and the opportunity to share ideas and memories with other people.

"We do something quite practical so there's a chance to develop a skill or create something to take away."

The sessions take place once a month from 2.45pm until 4pm. It costs £5 per person, including refreshments. The next one takes place on Wednesday, December 13.

Charity help in Movember A WEST SUSSEX holiday park is encouraging men to pay more attention to their health by inviting a Macmillan Cancer Support nurse to spend time with their guests during Movember.

The Movember movement sees men around the world sporting moustaches in November to raise awareness of men’s health, focusing on prostate and testicular cancer.

John Bunn, managing director of Bunn Leisure, on the Selsey peninsula, said: “We know cancer affects people’s lives in many different ways. Movember is a fun way to promote a really important message, and we want to show our support by enabling our guests to find out more information in complete confidence.

“After the success of our last collaboration with Macmillan Cancer Support, where two nurses came to Bunn Leisure during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we have invited the team back to offer help and advice throughout Movember.

“Over the last four years, our caravan owners have raised more than £30,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support, which is a charity very close to our hearts.”

To help people find out more about coping with cancer, a Macmillan Cancer Support nurse will spend the day at Bunn Leisure talking to guests and offering free, confidential information and support.

The Macmillan Mobile Information and Support Service will be at the park tomorrow between 10.30am and 3pm.

College hosts popular four course meal CATERING and hospitality students from Chichester College hosted a special pop-up dining evening at the college’s 64 Restaurant and Bar. Guided by a team of experts from the Sussex Pub Company, the students prepared and served a four-course meal using local Sussex produce to around 60 guests, including Chichester MP Gillian Keegan.

Charlotte Harding was one of the students. She said: “It was a massive learning curve for me. We’re really grateful to the chefs – they taught us so much and I really enjoyed it.

It was exhilarating and an amazing experience."

The meal included a trio of desserts, featuring honey parfait, vanilla brûlée and chocolate mousse.

The pop-up evening is the first of several to be held at the college, with the aim of giving students the opportunity to learn different styles and techniques – as well as building their own links with the industry.

Shelagh Legrave, CEO for the Chichester College Group, said: “We are very lucky to be able to offer our students opportunities like these, which see them gaining valuable experience from industry experts. It not only enriches the education they are receiving here at Chichester, but also gives them an insight into the world they intend to work in.”

New approach to preventing crime SUSSEX POLICE is taking a smarter approach to the way it prevents, detects and tackles crime in your area by introducing prevention teams.

The newly formed officers, made up of skilled PCSOs, officers and staff, and formerly known as neighbourhood policing teams – are now working more efficiently and effectively to prevent crime and to actively target local issues.

The teams will patrol the streets of Sussex where they can make a difference and work closely with partners to provide better solutions and improved outcomes.

Chief Constable Giles York said: “Working smarter allows my officers and staff to direct their efforts to where they are most needed.

“We have tried to preserve neighbourhood policing as it has been valued across Sussex for a number of years.

"There have been incredibly challenging times and we have had to make some difficult decisions as we manage operating with new demands and fewer people - choosing where best my officers should spend their time to keep people as safe as possible.

“We are holding on to areas of policing which are much valued and transforming others to address the changing nature of crime and evolving crime types.

“The launch of our local policing model, along with our vision for future policing, shows our commitment to be accessible and maintain the safest communities.

“I am really pleased with the model

because I think it not only meets the needs of the community but it’s also flexible to meet emerging threats, providing resilience for the future.”

Local policing includes the prevention teams working with partners to identify the best ways to solve problems; response teams responding to emergencies and being there when they are needed and investigation teams investigating professionally and effectively.

CC York added: “The three teams within local policing work tirelessly together to keep Sussex safe, but they don’t work alone.

"Over and above this are force, regional and national services delivered in support of local policing.

Katy Bourne, Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner, said: “With the launch of the new prevention teams this week, the public will soon be seeing how Sussex Police has transformed the way it works, complementing the earlier changes to response and investigation within the local policing model.

“Sussex Police must deploy its officers and resources where they can have the greatest impact both in detecting and preventing crimes and that will mean visible changes to some communities.

“To retain public confidence, the prevention teams will need to reach out to the public and show that, although the service may look different on the ground, it remains effective, alert and absolutely focused on the issues that matter to local people."

Campaigners pull together in bid to save popular path

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk A NEW group has formed to try to save one of the area's most popular cycle and walking path after fears it could be re-routed ahead of a planned housing development.

Campaigners who use the Centurion Way path in Chichester are bidding to save it. The path looks likely to be moved under plans for Whitehouse Farm with an access road built on neighbouring playing fields at Bishop Luffa School.

The group were joined by former CEO of Sustrans, John Grimshaw, who negotiated and built the path back in the 1990's. Plans are being negotiated with Bishop Luffa School, the Diocese, West Sussex County Council, Network Rail and the developers and it could involve its possible re-routing or diversion or downgrading. A meeting with the school's headteacher, Nick Taunt, revealed the need for engagement and working together as he made it clear that the path should not run through its site.

As part of the White House Farm development, the school is getting access to new playing pitches on the other side of Centurion Way but Mr Taunt has expressed concern about operating out of a split site.

Campaigner Sarah Sharp said: "We were delighted to welcome John to Chichester.

"He has given us hope that something can be done to prevent the downgrading of the path in the south just at a time when hopes are high that the SDNPA and the LEP could put resources into extending the path in the north.”

Campaigners went on to meet West Sussex County Council leader councillor Louise Goldsmith in County Hall.

Sarah added: "As highway authority, it is within the county’s power to resist the diversion of the path.

"Many current users depend on the route but their needs are going to have to be balanced with safety concerns for the young people attending the school."

The new Centurion Way Development Group is working on several lines of approach to protect the path. The first step is to put in an application to list the path as a community asset.

Sarah added: “The task ahead of us is huge but with the help of John we can come up with a solution to suit all parties

and to preserve the path for future generations of Chichester residents to travel sustainably.

"If we fail to protect and enhance the Centurion Way in its integrity we might as well throw all the councils’ strategies and well meaning words in favour of sustainable travel out of the window.”

If you use the path for walking, cycling, running, dog walking or commuting, send in your name and postal address to Sarah Sharp at sarah.ccc13@gmail.com

FAMILIES across West Sussex are being urged to make sure their children are vaccinated against flu before the winter flu season begins.

Last year, more than half of two to four-year-olds in the county were left unprotected from the serious effects of the winter illness.

For the first time, this year children in school Year 4, along with children aged four and over in school years reception, 1, 2 and 3, can get their free flu vaccination, in the form of a nasal spray, in school.

Children aged two to three are also offered the nasal spray vaccine, and can receive it at their local GP surgery, along with children who are four years old provided they were three on August 31, 2017.

Children who are home-educated will also be offered the vaccine, provided they are in an eligible school age group.

Dr Katie Armstrong, GP and clinical chief officer of NHS Coastal West Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "We know that more than three out of four people with flu have no symptoms but can still pass it on, and children are one of the biggest groups that pass bugs like flu around, especially at this time of year.

“By getting your child vaccinated you are making sure they are protected this winter, helping to protect your family, but not only that, you are also helping to protect the whole community."

Trying a different style of cuisine couldn't be simpler with Nayeb, Bognor Regis's new restaurant

f Andrew Ifould with one of the waste collection vehicles

Authority to take open up to residents about life behind the scenes at council CHICHESTER District Council will be using Twitter to lift the lid on its work.

The authority will be taking part in the Local Government Association’s #OurDay campaign on Tuesday, November 21.

The campaign aims to highlight the services provided by councils nationwide and gives residents the opportunity to get involved and ask questions using the hash tag #OurDay. Hundreds of councils across England and Wales are expected to take part.

The district council delivers over 80 services, from emptying bins to licensing taxis, and

cleaning the streets to supporting vulnerable people. The #OurDay campaign will give residents a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes to keep the district running smoothly.

Cllr Peter Wilding, cabinet member for business improvement services, said: "The council operates round-the-clock with officers on call 24 hours a day ready to respond to emergencies. Residents come into contact with our work every day, often without realising it.

This is a chance to engage with residents and make them aware of the vast range of services we provide."

AFTER opening just three months ago in London Road, the Persian restaurant offers delicious food cooked slowly and from scratch.

My colleague and I found the atmosphere at Nayeb's very cosy, fresh, clean and friendly and offers an extensive menu. From the chef's specials, cooked for between four and five hours through to kebabs, wraps and burgers, the mouth-watering dishes are simply delicious.

My colleague chose the Zereshk Polo, which is 1/4 chicken served with basmati rice mixed with barberries and saffron. I chose the lamb shank Mahicheh. The chicken was full of flavour and delicious and the lamb was extremely tender.

Chef, Nas Abdi's secret is fresh, homemade food, cooked without the use of gas or electricity, simply fire!

He said: "We cook everything on the open fire here. It gives our food a real BBQ or chargrilled taste.

All our food is fresh and I start cooking from 6am to ensure everything is available from lunchtime."

Owner Behrad Mohammadi has also invited customers to bring their own alcohol to the restaurant to enjoy with their meal without a fee.

For dessert, we tried the authentic Persian ice cream made with thick vanilla ice cream, crushed frozen cream, pistachios, rose water and saffron. It is unlike any other ice cream either of us have tried, thick and creamy and full of flavour.

Orders over £10 are eligible for free delivery within a five mile radius and the shop is open seven days a week from 1pm - 11pm.

"One of the most serious things about the latest verion is that it bans buses going across the railway.

"Of course, there would be substantial development delays while the bridge was sorted out. We don't want to go down that route. We want to go down the route that is laid out in the masterplan."

And Cllr Susan Taylor added: "We are of course acutely aware of the problems caused by congestion during operation of the two level crossings.

"However, we were made aware by Network Rail early on in the masterplan preparation process that the crossings are not identified as a significant safety concern and so Network Rail has not identified them as a priority for closure."

Councillors have recommended that the major project which aims to regenerate the southern area of Chichester be approved later this month.

The council’s cabinet also recommended the implementation plan for approval, which sets out how the project will be funded and provides a timeline for project completion.

The masterplan aims to deliver new homes, provide business space, leisure and tourism facilities, improve transport links with more emphasis on cycling, walking and public transport, regenerate the cityscape area and improve the area’s appearance.

Several sites make up the masterplan area, including the bus station and garage, Basin Road car park, the law courts, Chichester Police Station, the former Kingsham Primary School and the Royal Mail depot buildings.

The public consultation showed a preference for traffic option A, which would introduce a bus gate across Stockbridge Road to limit vehicle access and improve access for cyclists and pedestrians.

Basin Road would also be realigned to create a new junction in Stockbridge Road.

The Southgate Gyratory would be modified to reduce the width and number of lanes in order to improve pedestrian access.

Councillors to discuss scheme to help businesses in district COUNCILLORS will be asked to approve a scheme designed to help small and medium-sized businesses with their rates over the next four years.

Chichester District Council’s nondomestic rates discretionary scheme was recommended by the council’s cabinet, for approval at the full council meeting which will take place on Tuesday, November 21.

In March, the government announced that it would make a discretionary fund of £300m available from the 2017 – 2018 financial year to support those businesses facing an increase in their rates as a result of its 2017 revaluation.

Chichester District Council has received a total of £786,000 from the fund which will be used to help limit increases in business rates for eligible, occupied businesses that have a rateable value of £100,000 or less.

Businesses with a rateable value of

£20,000 or less will have their increase limited to four per cent for 2017 – 2018. Businesses with a rateable value of £100,000 or less will have their increase limited to five per cent.

Cllr Eileen Lintell, cabinet member for community services at the council, said: “We understand that some businesses have been severely affected by the government’s revaluation.

"We have 4,700 small and mediumsized businesses across the district, of which 1,500 have experienced an increase in their business rates.

“We want to ensure that our share of the discretionary funding is used to help those that are in most need as a result of that revaluation process.

"Of the 1,500 businesses that have experienced an increase, approximately 1,200 will receive assistance from this scheme.”

Business rates are set by the government and values for the properties set by the national Valuation Office Agency.

Charity gets a cash boost THE Leathersellers' Company - a London Guild dating back to the 15th century - has donated £10,000 to Chichester-based charity The Point.

The Point, a day centre facility for adults with physical disabilities, applied for a grant from the Leathersellers. It will enable the charity to buy a new minibus, giving members of The Point the opportunity to enjoy trips out.

Douglas Hayler, from the charity, said: "Liveryman for the Leathersellers' Company Ed Phillips recently visited the charity to see what we do here.

"He was clearly impressed with the scope of the centre's activities and our professional and caring set-up for our severely disabled members. He was also rightly impressed with the new bus, named Douglas. We are incredibly grateful to the guild for their support."

Post ` Fair for surgery A CRAFT fair will take place on Saturday to raise funds for medical equipment.

It will be held from 10am until 3pm at Cathedral Medical Centre in Cawley Road, Chichester.

'It's about getting people into the festive spirit' - BID

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk TRADERS across Chichester's city centre are preparing for a busy festive season thanks to an influx of funding to support the city's businesses.

The Chichester Business Improvement District (BID) has invested in a full programme of events leading up to the big day.

Now, Jeanette Hockley, from the Chichester BID, said she hoped it would encourage more visitors and for them to stay longer.

She said: "The retailers want footfall.

They want people to come in and spend their money, so we have to deliver that.

"This part of the year is crucial for the independent traders, especially. They make the majority of their money at Christmas.

"Last year we had no budget for Christmas.

"This year I knew we needed a budget and we needed to book stuff in."

The Christmas lights will be switched on at The Cross on Thursday, November 23, followed by the fireworks display.

The shops will be open late and entertainment will be provided.

However, with the lights switch-on attracting around 12,000 people, the aim is to try to bring in more people during the rest of the festive period.

It includes an appearance by the

Snow Queen, face-painting, singing and dancing.

Bars will also have special offers and families can take part in competitions.

"It's about including everybody and just having that great feel-good factor in Chichester," Jeanette added.

"Businesses absolutely love it. They didn't have this last year. They can target the people who are coming in and they can plan their late night shopping nights around what's happening.

"It's all about the communication. We can do our best to bring people to the city centre but it's up to them to get people through their doors with what they are displaying or promoting."

A total of 15,000 leaflets detailing events over the festive period have been printed and they have been distributed around the city and across the county.

And Jeanette added she hoped people would still be tempted into the city rather than shopping online.

"When they come to the city they will see something that they will get enjoyment from, especially for families.

It's about getting into the festive spirit.

"It's difficult for the independent businesses so we are trying to include everybody so that Chichester is still thriving."

Uniting in support of the NHS THE Portsmouth and Chichester branch of the Pro-EU European Movement supported a national day of action to highlight the need to safeguard the NHS from the threats Brexit poses.

The action day took place in many different locations across the UK. The branch set up stall at the Market Cross in Chichester where campaigners talked to the public about their attitudes towards Brexit and the current state of negotiations.

Leaflets were handed out showing the negative impact on the NHS of plans to leave the European Union.

The public were also asked to sign a petition requiring the government to release the full unredacted text of the treasury’s Brexit impact studies.

The day of action built on the momentum gained in recent weeks through the pro-European rallies organised by the European Movement and partners in Brighton at the Labour Party conference, in Manchester at the Conservative Party conference, at the recent Westminster Pro-EU Conference and Lobby and through other grassroots action against plans to exit the European Union.

David Rowen, chairman of the branch, said: "The grassroots European

Movement is rapidly expanding, with a growing network of branches, members and supporters that is enabling a stand to be made against Brexit and the fight to continue for a future, both alongside our European partners and neighbours and inside the EU. "Retaining our EU membership is proving vital in order to keep our NHS healthy."

Michael Young, CEO of the European Movement UK, added: “The European

Movement and Open Britain have just commissioned a poll which shows the fears people have for the future of the NHS, since the vote to leave the European Union, as the facts become known.

"Brexit will hit the poorest and most vulnerable hardest, yet these are the people government should be doing its best to protect.

"By trying to lead us out of the EU, the government is jeopardising the future of the NHS, which so many people depend

upon. Our NHS is served by many hard-working EU citizens who now face uncertainty over their futures in the UK. "This is unacceptable, discriminatory and retrogressive.

"The grassroots European Movement is constantly growing as thousands of supporters join us to take part in action days and show that we reject the current situation, want to safeguard our NHS from any damage, and welcome all those who help the NHS to help others.”

Dream day out for students TWO Chichester College motorsport students enjoyed the experience of a lifetime.

Jason Hardy and Owen Brassfield, both 16, were invited to join the Sussex Road & Race (SRR) team at the final round of the ‘Mini Challenge’ at Snetterton.

They were joined by SRR apprentice Phil Jones - who also studies at Chichester College - lecturer Dan Turner, SRR owners Kevin Fulbrook and Josh Fulbrook and Dan Harland, the team mechanic.

The students were part of the crew working on the car during the race weekend and found themselves straight in the fast lane of mechanics, having to change an engine on the first day of testing. They were also challenged with repairing a broken turbo and fixing power steering.

Owen, who has now been offered a

weekend race job with the team, said: “It was really good. The best thing was being able to get hands-on experience, working on the job."

Jason added: “It was good fun and a massive eye-opener – it showed me what the job involves and I know it’s what I want to do.”

The motorsport diploma is in its second year at the college.

Dan Turner, who runs the diploma, said: “The interest in the course is brilliant, and it’s fantastic to be able to work with companies like SSR to give the students real life opportunities to put what they’re learning into practice.

“Both Jason and Owen took a lot from the weekend. They really impressed me with their work ethic, dedication and enthusiasm and I hope more of our students will be able to participate in the future.”

PropertyNews IT CAN be daunting out there for landlords with the ever-changing landscape of the rental market and the growing number of regulations they need to understand and follow.

Many choose to employ a letting agent to undertake the brunt of the work for them, while others are keen to do it themselves.

Even those who use a letting agent, though, are ultimately responsible for what goes on in their rental properties, so I think it’s important every landlord has a decent understanding of what’s what.

The best investment I think I made in this regard was a few wellregarded books and a membership with the National Landlord Association (NLA).

There are other landlord associations out there, but the NLA is the biggest and was the one I plumped for.

Their bi-monthly magazine ensures I’m up to date with all the upcoming legislation, while they offer a plethora of courses and documents accessible online that cover an array of circumstances you’re likely to come up against.

I’m proud to have completed the online training courses that the NLA provide with their membership so I became an accredited landlord i.e. I know my stuff!

Their telephone advice line is also manned by knowledgeable landlords who will answer any of your more unusual or technical questions. They also hold regular landlord meetings in association with Chichester District Council to present the latest news and updates, as well as providing commentary from industry insiders.

I’m pleased to say that next Thursday, November 16 I will be one of those industry insiders speaking at Chichester’s NLA meeting at 6pm at the Chichester District Council offices. It’s free of charge, even to non-members, so come along if you’re a landlord and you’re interested in finding out more, and you can hear me talk about Chichester’s property market a bit too!

Rings stolen SENTIMENAL jewellery was stolen from a property near Petworth.

Police are now appealing for witnesses following the burglary in High Street, Duncton.

Three men pretending to be plumbers entered the property at around 2.15pm on Thursday, November 2, saying they needed to check the water pipes.

One of the men distracted the elderly home owner while the other two stole pieces of valuable jewellery.

Three gold coloured wedding bands, one with a distinctive engraving, three watches and a pair of drop earrings with three different coloured stones in them were stolen.

The watches are all gold in colour, one has a link strap with white stones on it, the second has an oval shaped face with a black leather strap and the third is plain gold.

Investigator Kelly Ackerman said: "This is a despicable crime in which three men have targeted an elderly vulnerable lady who put her trust in them and believed they were legitimate workmen.

“While distracted, two of the suspects made an untidy search and stole valuable and extremely sentimental items belonging to the family. In particular was the victim's deceased husband's wedding band with the words MAY 26 1973 engraved on the inside.

“We would like to hear from anyone with any information about the stolen property or anyone who noticed any suspicious behaviour in the area at the time of the incident."

NHS staff raise awareness of the best use of antibiotics COLOURFUL knitted examples of bacterial infections like E.coli and salmonella are helping to highlight the importance of using antibiotics appropriately at Western Sussex Hospitals.

To mark Antibiotic Awareness Week, which runs all next week, woollen bugs have been created to adorn the popular penguin sculptures at Worthing Hospital as well as Brutus the Rhino at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester.

The trust’s antimicrobial pharmacists teamed up with yarn bombers Storm and knitting group Finger Thread to promote in a fun way the serious messages behind this year’s national Keep Antibiotics Working campaign.

Antimicrobial pharmacist Jo Munns said: “It is really important that we only use these life-saving medicines when appropriate to ensure they remain effective for ourselves and future generations. In the hospital, we are already witnessing a rise in antibiotic resistance and experts have predicted that antibiotic resistance will kill more people than cancer and diabetes combined by 2050.

"It is therefore critical that we take action now to keep antibiotics working.”

During the week, staff and visitors to the hospitals will be encouraged to become antibiotic guardians and make a pledge to only use antibiotics when absolutely necessary.

For example, visitors could pledge to try to treat coughs and colds for five days

before visiting their GP, or, if prescribed antibiotics, pledge to dispose of them at a pharmacy to prevent unused drugs unnecessarily entering the environment.

Antimicrobial pharmacist Sharon Kaur said: “Antibiotic medicines are losing their effectiveness at an increasing rate and the more we use them the more bacteria adapts and becomes resistant.

“If we don’t work together to tackle this problem, common infections, minor injuries and routine operations will all become much riskier, setting modern health care back by decades.”

Information stands and the knitted displays will help raise awareness of the #KeepAntibioticsWorking campaign throughout Antibiotics Awareness week.

Western Sussex Hospitals is pro-active all-year round, using smartphone app technology and electronic prescribing to both monitor the use of antibiotic medicines and increase awareness of the importance of appropriate prescribing.

For more information or to sign up to be an Antibiotic Guardian, please visit antibioticguardian.com.

It's a fair cop as Danny gets his dream job A TERMINALLY ill Bognor Regis boy made an arresting sight as he became a police officer for a day.

Danny Herbert was given the chance to fulfil his dream by Sussex Police.

He had always wanted to be a policeman and was determined not to let his heart condition stop him.

Chief Inspector Marc Clothier, of the force's Arun district, said: "When I was contacted by the Make A Wish charity about Danny, I was really keen to make his dream of becoming a police officer a reality.

"The support and enthusiasm shown by colleagues across the force was amazing and we all really tried to make the day as special as possible.

"Danny had the opportunity to join one of the roads policing units and undertook speed checks in Bognor Regis.

"We knew Danny had always wanted to hold a speed gun. So, it was fantastic for us to allow this to happen."

Danny, seven, has pulmonary atresia condition, which is an extremely rare birth defect involving the heart and lungs.

Danny's pulmonary valve was not formed correctly, meaning blood from the right side of his heart is unable to travel to the lungs to collect oxygen

before being pumped around his body.

Danny, who was born with the condition, was joined for his special day by his sister, Sky, six, and mum, Fran.

The trio were initially taken to Chichester police station where Danny 'arrested' a suspicious man who was spotted 'drawing' on police cars.

The youngster booked the suspect into custody and escorted him into the calls where the new recruit gave him a stern telling off.

Afterwards, the family were taken to Sussex Police headquarters in Lewes to meet two firearms officers, the dog unit and Chief Constable Giles York.

Mum Fran said: "It was such a fantastic day for Danny and he truly loved every minute of it.

"Danny loved being able to hold the speed gun and he was in awe of everyone he met on the day.

"Danny has always been interested in the emergency services and he was lucky enough to meet a fireman and this was set up by Tyler's Trust.

"He has all of the uniforms at home and will often dress up in them for roleplay."

Make A Wish is a charity which grants wishes to enrich the lives of children fighting life-threatening conditions.

JUST over £8,000 has been awarded to community schemes around Bognor Regis.

The area's county councillors backed four projects to benefit from the latest round of community initiative funding awards.

Up to £900 of the £7,223 given at the meeting of the Joint Western Arun Area Committee went to 60 Minutes of Classical Music to buy two trombones for its musicians.

Bognor Regis Youth Cricket Club was given £2,323 for new kit and training equipment.

New flooring will be bought by Willowhale Community Association in Rose Green with the £2,500 it has received.

An extra £1,500 was given to Blake's Mead Community Association in Felpham after an emergency grant of £856 for a Halloween party.

Cllr Hilary Flynn (C, Felpham) said: "This is an association for the new estate and needs some help to take it forward to the next stage.

"There were 225 children at the Halloween event. They want to hold more community events for families and children living on the new estate."

Honour for a world beater A FORMER Bognor Regis teacher was among the leading figures honoured by the University of Chichester this week.

Paracanoe champion Emma Wiggs MBE was a PE teacher at The Regis School as she prepared for the 2012 Paralympics in London.

Her progress in the sitting volleyball team was followed closely by students and staff.

She was previously a teacher at Lavant House School in Chichester and became a full-time athlete after the British team came eighth in the Paralympics.

She switched her sport to paracanoeing and won a gold medal in last year's Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro as well as in seven world championships.

She is a graduate of the university and received her honorary doctorate in science at midday on Sunday.

She tweeted after the ceremony: "Amazingly proud to receive an honorary doctorate from @chiuni incredible support from staff to receive my original degree #forevergrateful."

Emma was awarded the MBE in the 2017 new year honours list for her services to canoeing.

She grew up playing a variety of sports but her mobility in both legs was impaired when she was 18 as a result of an unknown virus.

She was among 11 dignitaries to receive the prestigious accolades in a series of ceremonies at its Chichester campus. The awards were in recognition of their contributions to their fields.

Vice-chancellor Professor Jane Longmore said graduation was rightly seen as a celebration of achievement.

It took character, resilience, determination and creativity.

The others who received their honorary degrees on Sunday were Team GB sailors Saskia Clark MBE and Hannah Mills MBE, who won gold at the 2016 Olympics, received an honorary doctorate of science.

Course to open HOLES in one o’clock will be scored by golfers at the newest attraction in Bognor Regis.

A replica model of the Hotham Park House clock tower has been created at the Wildforest Falls adventure golf course.

The near four metre-high feature, complete with copper dome, will be a centrepiece of the course. Contractors for the operator, ISS Lifestyle, are finishing off the 18-hole site in Hotham Park’s north eastern corner.

Schoolchildren from around the town will be invited to try out the challenges before its expected unofficial opening later this month.

Justin Simpson, ISS Lifestyle’s recreation and lifestyle manager, said the company was spending well into six-figures to create a development which would be open 364 days a year.

“Everything is on course to open as we

f

planned,” he said. “It’s a very exciting project to be part of. We are expecting tens of thousands of people to play the course.

“We want Hotham Park to become more widely used and Wildforest Falls to become a tourist attraction and we are only down the road from Butlin’s.

“It is a really exciting development for the local community and visitors to the town and will be a real asset to the beautiful Hotham Park.

“The park is getting better year after year and we are creating an extra 20 spaces in the car park as part of this project.

“If we are going to draw the people we want to this course, we are going to need more spaces.”

Mr Simpson said he believed the golf course’s development was the first significant investment in a site of its kind in the Arun district for 22 years.

The golf course has been designed for all the family.

As well as the clock tower putt through, its features will include a beaver dam complete with waterfall, water jump pool and fallen log puttthrough.

The usual patches of rough and bunkers trying to catch out golfers are being joined by a number of life-size statues such as grizzly bears, wolves, stags and wild boars.

“Everyone loves a good game of adventure golf,” added Mr Simpson. “It is great way to enjoy the outdoors and partake in a bit of friendly Work is well underway on the course competition with friends and family.”

` One rail strike ends

Fun on ice YOUNG and old residents can get their skates on in Bognor Regis this Christmas.

The town's first indoor ice rink, similar to the one pictured above, is being opened this month.

The rink will be located in the Place St Maur, next to the Regis Centre, from November 23 until January 7.

It has been organised by town centre manager Toyubur Rahman with Bognor Regis Traders' Association and Arun District Council.

Mr Rahman said: "This is a brilliant attraction for the town in the winter months, which are traditionally quieter, compared to the summer months.

"We are confident that this event will attract visitors from near and far and give them a great

experience."

Traders' association chairman Chris Heaps said: "The lead came from one of our traders who became aware of the ice rink providers and suggested the Place St Maur."

He praised Mr Rahman for working quickly with Arun to organise the attraction.

Alongside the rink of real ice, wooden hut stalls will offer seasonal food and drink and Christmas gifts plus fun children's rides and a life-size snow globe.

James Coles, from First Point Event Management, said: "We are pleased to be able to offer this attraction for the first time in Bognor Regis as it's our home town and we've seen the resort go from strength to strength over the last few years."

Drivers rallied round centre to raise funds THREE daredevil drivers have pushed a company's support for the Aldingbourne Trust to some £20,000.

David Adams, Martin Curry and Simon Lush, partners at Henry Adams, travelled through eight countries on this year's Screwball Rally for old vehicles.

They raised nearly £2,000 towards the new visitor centre at the trust's base of Aldingbourne Country Centre for their latest fundraising project.

Aldingbourne Trust managing director Sue Livett said: "We are so grateful to Henry Adams for all their support over the last two years. They have helped

Plans submitted for village homes AFFORDABLE housing is being planned in Walberton.

Mr and Mrs Lilywhite have asked Arun District Council to approve their proposals for four affordable bungalows with two bedrooms on almost a hectare south of Wandleys Farm, in Wandleys Lane.

Susan Leeson, their planning agent, says in a statement they would be sold for at least £100,000 below their expected market price in response to the need for cheaper housing.

"In this case, the applicant has agreed to sell the dwellings at £215,000 maximum as they are absorbing the land cost as it is their desire to give something back to the village," she states.

us raise around £20,000 as part of their corporate support - a fantastic amount."

The rally team took their car, dubbed GG, to the centre for its staff and volunteers to see and hear about their exploits.

Martin said: "Having a great welcome from our friends at the Aldingbourne Trust and seeing the real progress the charity is making with the country centre has definitely made it all worthwhile.

We were looking for a new way to help raise money for the Aldingbourne Trust and, happily for us, the Screwball Rally turned into a great adventure travelling

Their plans also include a threebedroom house for sale at full price.

Another proposal for housing in Walberton has also been submitted to Arun for a decision.

It concerns nine houses on a mowed field next to Sunny Corner in Copse Lane. Applicants Mr and Mrs Steve Holden want to build a mix of three and four-bed houses on the site of just under one hectare.

Mrs Leeson is also their planning agent. She says in the application: "The dwellings are designed by the same architects who designed the award-winning development to the rear of The Holly Tree public house and are designed to be in keeping with the character of Walberton."

right across Europe.

"We all thoroughly enjoyed the fiveday challenge. Well, except for the camping and a few nerves about the car's condition. But, then, it did get us back to Chichester, just about in one piece."

The Screwball Rally sees old bangers entered into a journey of some 1,500 miles across Europe for a motoring adventure. The team had to buy a car for less than £750 and drive it to Lake Como in Italy and back in five days for charity.

The trust supports adults with learning disabilities to live fulfilled and independent lives.

Disguised as a boy, Rosalind meets Orlando and, amidst the intoxicating atmosphere of the forest, counsels him in the art of love.

Shared Experience presents As You Like It

WAR, FRIENDSHIP courage and...the press.

Coming to Chichester direct from a record-breaking West End season, The Wipers Times tells the true and extraordinary story of a satirical newspaper created in the mud and mayhem of the Somme.

In a bombed out building during the First World War in the Belgian town of Ypres (mis-pronounced Wipers by British

soldiers), two officers discover a printing press and create a newspaper for the troops.

Far from being a sombre journal about life in the trenches, they produced a resolutely cheerful, subversive and very funny newspaper designed to lift the spirits of men on the front line.

Defying enemy bombardment, gas attacks and the disapproval of many, The Wipers Times rolled off the press for two years and was an extraordinary tribute to the resilience of the human spirit.

This new production penned by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman covers everything about the extraordinary story that captured the hearts of the nation.

Tickets range from £15-£36.

"This talk will examine the films and the mind of one of Hollywood's most influential directors."

ORSON WELLES stands out as one of the great cinema auteurs and tricksters of the 20th century and the Chichester Cinema at New Park invites you to examine his life and work at this fascinating talk.

You'll get the chance to explore Welles as more than just a film director but as a master magician: a performance artist willing to play with illusion and reality and conjure up enigmas and frustrate anyone looking for simple answers.

This workshop will consider the themes and techniques used in his most famous works such as Citizen Kane, Touch of Evil and Lady from Shanghai that made him a Hollywood legend.

Welles’ more unfamiliar signature films will also be discussed: the ambitious Falstaff: Chimes at Midnight and F for Fake.

These films, each one brilliant in its own way, will serve as bookends to help us frame Welles’ lifelong quest, as an outsider, for the epic film.

This workshop promises to be a fascinating journey of discovery that film-lovers would be crazy to miss.

Tickets range between £9-£10.

Food & Drink 23

New wine area is a safe port of call for drinkers Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys

GENEROSITY of spirit and great value for money are my principal themes this week.

Having been privileged to attend a stunning Friday concert at the Chichester Inn featuring the legendary Willie Nile singing a range of Bob Dylan songs along with his own fine repertoire - not only did he regale the audience with his fine musicianship, he also exhibited great bonhomie in giving me two CDs for my own gratification!

Lidl is my wine destination this week and I was able to avail myself of a weekend offer of a mere £2.99 outlay for a 2016 Visigodo Ruedo Verdejo with verdejo being a Spanish grape similar in style to Sauvignon Blanc.

A hint of spritz and aromas of elderflower characterise this easy drinking wine which should not offend anyone's palate.

Continuing the Iberian theme, I next managed to procure a 2016 Azinhaga De Ouro Douro Doc Vinho Branco having no doubt been mesmerised by the number of syllables and the £4.99 price tag.

Being of Portuguese provenance from the Douro Valley, renowned for its Port production, this area is now exporting white wines and this particular one is flavoursome, tangy and exudes citrus and green plum aromas.

For the same price, I was able to secure a 2016 Cimarosa Reserva Privada Sauvignon Blanc and found it to be perfectly palatable with light grass and citrus aromas and a similar palate with a hint of elderflower - great value for a Sauvignon Blanc!

At £5.99, the 2016 L'Horizon Cuvée Morgane Bordeaux Blanc is a grassy, nettley take on white Bordeaux with crisp green apple and freshly - cut grass

scents and flavours with a touch of citrus on the juicy mid-palate and a great accompaniment to food.

For £6.75, I obtained a 2015 MâconVillages, most competitively priced for a Mâcon wine, and noted its creaminess, freshness and quality as a Chardonnay.

My final white wine purchase was that of a 2015 Bourcier - Martinot Saint - Véran at the lofty price of £7.99, a delightfully creamy Burgundian wine which is well worth a punt!

In terms of red wine, I pounced, with gazelle-like alacrity, on a 2016 Chilean Malbec reserva privada Valle Central which, for a miserly outlay of just £4.49, is by far the cheapest Malbec I have

found of this quality - I advise you to buy up before stock thereof expires!

My last three wines scale the heights in pecuniary terms and I commence with two priced at £10.99, namely the 2015 Saint - Émilion Grand Cru and the Château Donissan 2012 Listrac - Médoc.

The Saint - Émilion has plummy fruit and is dry with a hint of oak from an excellent vintage and is one to keep for a while before imbibing!

The 2012 Château Donissan ListracMédoc Cru Bourgeois is ready for drinking and has a nose of hedgerow

Method 1. Position racks in upper and lower third of oven; preheat to 425°F. 2. Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl until well coated.

Divide between 2 large baking sheets and spread in an even layer. Roast, rotating the pans from top to bottom about halfway through, until tender and beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, until very soft and golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add flour, salt and pepper; cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add milk; cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits at the bottom of the pan.

Increase heat to mediumhigh; cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and bubbles,

3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Preheat the broiler.

5. Transfer half the potatoes to a 2-quart broiler-safe baking dish. Spread half the sauce over the potatoes and top with ½ cup cheese. Add the remaining potatoes and top with the remaining sauce and cheese. Broil, watching carefully, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is beginning to brown, 1 to 5 minutes, depending on your broiler. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve topped with thyme.

fruit, has concentrated red and black fruit on the palate and soft tannins arguably a little lacking in complexity, but memorable and most agreeable nonetheless!

My final selection is an old favourite of mine, namely a 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico priced at a mighty £12.99. Made from partially dried grapes and exuding cherry and damson fruit along with lush dark berry flavours, this wine culminates in a complex savoury finish tinged with spice and chocolate - a veritable gem to savour!

Health &

Well-being

by Denise Kelly

Get comfortable in your own skin with a good scrub AS THE winter approaches, and the weather gets colder, you will notice your skin not looking quite so fresh and vibrant.

Also, if you travel a lot and spend a lot of time on planes, or going in and out of hotter and colder climates, you will notice your skin looks a little dehydrated and tired.

I have been fortunate enough just to get back from a trip to Las Vegas, which was so much fun. I am not sure any more than a six day trip would be advisable though!

It’s a sensory overload to say the least. Bright lights, lavish decorations everywhere you look, slot machines flashing, casino smoke wafting in your face, (yes they are still allowed to smoke at the gambling tables, so even if you are not near them, you feel like you have stepped back into the 90s where smoking was still legal indoors, and you go home stinking as if you smoke 40 a day) alcohol freely flowing as long as you are placing a bet, loud music everywhere - which I have no problem with, except that four different types of music can be going on at once in the same room - a pianist in one corner, DJ in another, etc. and so it goes on in crazy town!

You need to appreciate it for exactly what it is and embrace the chaos! However, needless to say, with the eight-hour time difference, an abnormal amount of food and drink and not much sleep, I am not looking my best since returning!

I love to use as natural a product as possible, and the best way to brighten up tired skin is, of course, to eat well. Good, wholesome food, plenty of fluids and lots of green smoothies. But what about rejuvenating with your own home-made product?

It's really simple and easy to use things you would

toned appearance.

Ingredients: Mix one teaspoon of sea salt with four ounces of warm water in small spray bottle until the salt is dissolved. Mist on clean, dry skin, avoiding eyes. Use your hands to gently massage into the skin.

Then rinse off in the shower and voilà, lovely soft skin. Use daily.

Alternatively, a sugar scrub can work equally as well, but is a little less abrasive. Again, it’s so simple and leaves your skin feeling soft and glowing.

All you need to do is combine coconut oil and sugar in a small bowl, and stir to combine. Rub sugar into the mixture onto a clean, make up free face, neck or body, using gentle circular motions. Rinse dry with warm water. This is an easy recipe to whip up, even if you don't have a lot of time. And proves you don’t need to spend a fortune to look amazing!

Why is a salt scrub good?

The magnesium in good quality salts can reduce inflammation, while sulphates are believed to flush out toxins.

Sea salt, derived from evaporated seawater, is also packed full of minerals beneficial to the skin. When mixed with olive, almond or rosehip oil, salt can breathe new life into tired skin.

Why is a sugar scrub good?

Sugar scrubs also have a few benefits over salt scrubs. For one, small sugar granules are generally gentler than salt, which can cause microscopic tears in the skin if you are sensitive, and two, because of sugar's natural humectant properties, these scrubs

Health & Beauty 27

can be more hydrating than salt scrubs, which can sometimes strip skin of natural oils in certain people.

You can also add some other very common ingredients to this mix. For example, you could grab a fresh lemon from your fruit bowl and squeeze some into your salt or sugar mix. The antioxidants found in vitamin C is amazing for the skin when taken internally or externally. So drinking lemon water and applying a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice into your beautiful home-made scrub just adds something extra.

It will help to fight damage caused by free radicals, keeping your skin looking fresh and it helps with the production of collagen, which is essential in smoothing out lines in the face.

Community News & Views LAUGHTER Yoga is coming to Donnington Village Hall next week.

The exercise offers plenty of health benefits by releasing stressbusting endorphins and encouraging feel-good hormones as well as encouraging playfulness and fun.

The taster session is being held from 1pm to 4pm on November 22.

It is being offered for anyone over 18 by Manhood Peninsulabased community group Heartspace, run with Coastal West Sussex Mind, which offers creative and expressive activities for all adults. The occasion will also feature the opportunity to play the harp for its calming effect.

A spokesman said: "Equally, the Therapeutic Harps, pictured below, session enables everyone to join in with creating beautiful music which can be healing and inspirational.

"There will be the chance to play a harp or, if preferred, percussion, or just to absorb the melodies.

"What is guaranteed is a warm welcome, like-minded enthusiastic people, a lot of fun and the chance to make new friends over tea or coffee and cake."

The coming months will see a varied programme staged by Heartspace. It will range from community singing to creative crafts-based sessions, including Indian block printing on tote bags to making decorations and gifts for Christmas.

"In the new year, there will be further sessions for the Laughter Yoga and Therapeutic Harps, as well as collage, creative writing and intuitive painting, all designed to encourage self-expression and individuality. An exciting opportunity to experience an Indian Dance workshop with renowned Southern Indian dancer Vidya Thirunarayan will take place on March 24 and promies to be a uniquely engaging session," added the spokesman.

Attendees are asked to make a £3 donation for each session.

GIVING children and young people the best start in life is one of the latest priorities of West Sussex County Council.

The priority will help the council to shape its services for the next five years after it was agreed at the recent full council meeting.

Louise Goldsmith, the council's leader, said: "We continue with our drive to give our children the very best start in life.

"For many, that is exactly what they get, but we know there are still children who are neglected, abused and exploited.

"We pledge to protect and help them and give them the future they deserve. We'll work with our partners to help them on the road back to stability.

"Education is vital. We work in partnerships with schools and colleges, focusing on the needs of the child whether educational, wellbeing or safeguarding; working together as one to support our young ones - the future. We'll work with our partners to help them back on the road to stability."

The other priorities are to ensure the county is a prosperous place, help communities to be strong, safe and sustainable, supporting residents in later life to remain independent and working for communities.

"We should celebrate our older population, who have so much to offer," said Cllr Ms Goldsmith, "but when fraility sets in we need to be there supporting them and working with communities to reduce the misery of social isolation.

"We are changing the way we work and working closely with our health partners, but also looking to modern technology, to make use of the most advanced techniques to help our elderly stay safe, secure and supported in their own homes. We will leave no stone unturned to help support and care for our elderly."

She added the county was committed to driving up recycling by declaring war on waste to save resources as well as money.

Sir, MAY I, through your pages, say a great and sincere thank you to our very many friends in Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Chichester for their messages of condolence and support on the death of my wife, Sheilagh.

Their tributes and best wishes have been a great comfort to me. May I also add my thanks to Father John (St Mary’s Church, Felpham), Darren Miles (undertaker), the Beachcroft Hotel, and their assistants, for making this sad occasion into a splendid and memorable event. My heartfelt thanks go to all of you.

A FIVE-YEAR sponsorship for a cathedral chorister is the latest agreement to be made by the Chichester Cathedral Friends.

The selected chorister will proudly wear the Friends' medal. The agreement is the latest to be made by the Friends in a list which includes tourists, worshippers, bell ringers and schoolchildren.

A spokesman for the Friends said: "In the past three years alone, the Friends have donated over £375,000 to fund 26 different projects, each of which contributes to the cathedral's strategic activities of worship, hospitality and education.

"Worshippers use the 1,000 chairs which were installed this year and the kneelers in the Lady Chapel and St Richard's Shrine.

"In Advent, the beautiful Advent Candle stand enhances worship while our contribution to the restoration and re-ordering of the Sailor's Chapel has revived the northwest corner of the cathedral."

LISTENERS of Chichester Area Talking News enjoyed a light-hearted annual meeting at Oving Village Hall.

After the formal business of the meeting, about 100 listeners, supporters and volunteers were treated to a delicious lunch.

This was followed by musical entertainment from the local singing group, Cavatina.

Everyone was pleased to meet their old friends again and newcomers were warmly

Tourists to the cathedral, pictured above, are amazed at its many artefacts and enjoy being able to closely inspect its Roman remains thanks to the walk-on glass that the Friends funded.

Work is also in progress, thanks to the Friends, to develop a new website.

"Bell ringers climb a tight spiral staircase of 80 steps to reach the ringing chamber in the medieval bell tower," said the spokesman. "The Friends recently funded a secure stainless steel handrail to improve the safety of access to this important site.

"The cathedral is an important destination for schoolchildren from around the diocese. The Friends have helped to make the learning and engagement centre an attractive and well-equipped place for schoolchildren and their teachers to meet and work."

The Friends is a registered charity and annual single membership is £15 and £25 for a couple.

welcomed. Pictured above are Margaret Siggs (foreground) and her team of volunteers with the lunch they prepared.

Every fortnight, Chichester Area Talking News produces an hour of local news on a memory stick and CD for blind and partially sighted people in the Chichester, Bognor Regis, Midhurst and Petworth areas. The charity was founded in 1975 and reached its 1,000th edition in August, 2014.

A CONCERT which celebrates 35 years of writing songs is being staged at South Bersted's church next week.

Glorie Days features the Rev Ian Smale, or Ish to give him his performing name, pictured below, with his instantly singalongable, exciting and educational songs based on Bible verses. He is bringing them to St Mary Magdalene Church in Bersted Street at 7pm next Tuesday.

Ish has been travelling around the world in a full-time musical capacity since 1970. He completed a couple of years of training at a Pentecostal theological college and went on to spend some years in the Elim pastoral ministry in London and the north of England.

Following that, he moved back to West Sussex. He has written and recorded more than 400 songs and released about 40 albums of his and other writers' songs, having produced 15 of them. He has also released five music DVDs. Ish has spent a lot of time in the USA and Germany but has also travelled widely to countries such as Spain, Holland and Sweden.

He was ordained into the Anglican church in 2007 and is licensed to Chichester Cathedral as its non-stipendary, 'Missioner Deacon' and is affectionately known to everyone there as Deacon Ish. He was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2008 and is well into remission after three years of chemotherapy treatment. He now visits his old hospital ward and day clinc as their hospice.

COWPOX was the subject of a talk to the latest monthly meeting of the Bognor Regis U3A. The guest speaker was Patrick J Pead, who spoke out the forgotten origins of vaccinations.

In particular, he focused on the pioneering work of Benjamin Jesty and the fact it had been overlooked when recognition for the injections was awarded.

Mr Peady told members of the University of the Third Age at the meeting in St Mary's Centre in Felpham his interest in the subject arose when he visited the Dorset town of Yetminster and came across Jesty's headstone.

Jesty was a tenant farmer and he had found that farmworkers, such as milkmaids, contracted cowpox from cows' udders. He took his family to the village of Chetnol in Dorset where there was an outbreak of the disease.

He took samples from infected cows and used a stocking needle to inject them into his relatives. Although his wife caught an infection, caused by bacteria, all of his family survived and never again caught cowpox.

For some time, it had been considered the first inoculations had been performed by Dr Edward Jenner in 1796 - and Jesty carried out his 22 years earlier.

However, after much research, it was proved Jesty was the first to carry out such a procedure and he was eventually recognised as such by the authorities.

Paving the way for the Chichester city walls

By Lorna Still, volunteer at The Novium Museum CHICHESTER is very lucky to have such wellpreserved city walls. Though they are now picturesque rather than functional, they serve as a vivid reminder of the city’s fascinating history.

They were built in the second half of the third century AD, about 200 years after the Roman city of Noviomagus Reginorum was founded, primarily as a statement of civic pride, though also for defence and to control trade.

The citizens would have needed permission from the Emperor and the construction would have been a long, labour-intensive and costly

process, paid for by the ’curia’, made up of rich merchants and entrepreneurs.

Some buildings were demolished to make way for the walls and others (including the amphitheatre) were left outside the walls.

There were four main gates, and people would go through the north gate for Silchester, the west gate for Fishbourne and Winchester, the east gate for London and the south gate for Selsey and the nearby harbours.

The walls were about 4.1 metres high, surrounded by a ditch and comprised of an earth bank with a masonry outer face.

This may have been whitewashed, with red

lines painted to look like large rectangular blocks. There would have been a wall walk and crenellated parapet.

In the 4th Century AD the Roman Empire suffered from a number of enemy threats and a decision was made to defend the provinces.

As a result, bastions were added to the Chichester city walls to protect from the threat of invasion. They were closely spaced, especially on the south side.

Although estimates vary, it is believed there may have been up to 70 of them. They had a roof and were perhaps about eight metres tall, constructed of solid masonry, with rooms above to house the ballistae (an ancient missile weapon, used in fixed positions that could fire bolts or heavy stones over several hundred metres), although there is no evidence of ballistae in Chichester.

Little by little, starting in the 4th century, Britain had been inhabited by Germanic people, resulting in the establishment of several regional chiefdoms.

After the Romans left in the fifth century AD, the Roman town of Chichester seems to have been practically deserted for a period of nearly 500 years.

The name Chichester itself comes from this period. However, there are two possible explanations, both using the common -ceastre affix (meaning, 'the Roman fort’).

The first involves combining it with ‘Chi’ which is similar to the Saxon word for ‘pebble’, so the Saxon name ‘Chichester’ could mean ‘pebbly fortification’, referring to the ruined walls. Alternatively combining it with the name ‘Cissa', who was a Saxon chieftain to whom the city was gifted by his father, King Aelle after their arrival in Britain.

In the AD900's, Alfred the Great and his successors established burhs (the Saxon name for a fort) as a defence against the Danes,

often using existing Roman fortifications.

The walls at Chichester were repaired for this purpose and the site of the South gate was probably slightly changed at this time. 1,500 men from nearby areas manned the walls in rotation.

The system clearly worked because in 895 AD, hundreds of Danish raiders who had just plundered Exeter were killed and some of their ships were burned as well. People began to move back to Chichester and Roman stone from the ruins was used for other buildings.

In the Norman period, a wooden castle was built which used the walls as part of the castle enclosure. The castle was now more important than the walls for defence, and so only the walls round the castle (now by Priory Park) were kept in good repair.

King John’s English enemies allied with the French, who captured this castle in 1216.

John’s successor, Henry III, recaptured it the following year and had it destroyed so such an event could not happen again, so the walls were once more the main defence. Some repairs were undertaken, paid for by the city, and the gates were shut after dark.

The cathedral lands ran up to the walls in the south-west quadrant, but the church was not responsible for the upkeep of the walls. In fact, in 1178, the Dean needed a licence from the king to make an opening in the walls to connect his house with his land and to build a deanery partly on one of the bastions.

In 1342, during the Hundred Years War against France, the Chichester people closed the gates and would not let the bishop of Chichester (who had also acted as the King’s Chancellor) enter the city. This may have been a protest against the cost of the war and only one token person was outlawed.

The walls would be used for defence one last time, which will be described next week.

Kia Launches All-New Stonic Suv Kia has entered Europe's fastest-growing market sector, that for small (B-segment) SUVs, with Stonic an exciting, sporty, confident and smart new model priced from £16,295.

There’s a five-model line-up based on grade 2 and First Edition trim levels. All versions offer an extensive package of connectivity features, including links to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay via pre-downloaded smartphone apps, while advanced electronic driver assistance systems such as autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and automatic switching between high and low headlight beams are available.

Stonic is Kia's first small SUV, and it brings the brand's unique, multi-award-winning styling to the B-SUV class. Buyers are moving into B-SUVs from superminis, small MPVs and three-door compact hatchbacks.

The First Edition version stands out thanks to its two-tone paintwork. The roof, wing mirror casings and rear spoiler are picked out in either black, lime green, red or orange, depending on the choice of main body colour, and there are colour accents in the interior on the seats and around the lower centre console

and display screen areas.

All versions are generously equipped, with an extensive range of active safety features and up-to-the-minute connectivity in First Edition versions.

The First Edition has Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, to prevent the car from being driven into the path of a vehicle approaching from an angle out of the driver's eye-line.

There is a 7.0-inch display with a DAB radio and MP3 compatibility in grade 2, and in the First Edition this is upgraded to a 7.0-inch touchscreen navigation and infotainment system featuring Kia Connected Services with TomTom™. Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ smartphone integration are standard across the range.

All models have 17-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, all-round electric windows with an automatic function on the driver's side, roof rails, rear parking sensors, remote locking, electrically adjustable heated door mirrors, a 3.5-inch supervision cluster, Bluetooth with music streaming, automatic headlight control, bi-function projection headlamps and cornering lights and LED

daytime running lights. There are bodycoloured bumpers, door mirror casings and door handles, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, 60:40 split rear seats and a sixspeaker audio system.

Three modern and efficient engines are available in Stonic, headed by Kia's little jewel, the 1.0-litre T-GDi (Turbocharged

Gasoline Direct-injection) unit delivering 118bhp. It lines up alongside a 1.4-litre multipoint injection (MPi) naturally aspirated 98bhp petrol engine and the 108bhp 1.6-litre CRDi turbodiesel from the cee'd range.

Local duo lead the way as first ever PostSport Regis10 race is hailed a big success CHICHESTER Runners' James Baker sealed the victory in the first Regis10 as hundreds of runners made their way around the town on Sunday.

Organisers Sussex Trail Events said nearly 500 athletes of all standards took part in the ten-mile course, which started and finished at Bognor Regis Football Club in Nyewood Road, after winding through the town centre and along the coast to Middleton.

Leading the way in the men's race was Chichester's James Baker, who crossed the finishing line in a time of 53 minutes 50 seconds.

Meanwhile, in the ladies race, Bognor Tone Zone runner Kari Mack sealed a win on her home patch chalking up 1:08:55.

She was one of 51 runners from the town's club who took part in the road race.

Cheered on by a home crowd and boosted by some friendly weather conditions, a number of runners chalked up personal bests.

Among them was Juliet Stallard, who took six minutes off her previous best and crossed the line in 1.09.16.

In the men's race, mention must be made of Jack Penfold, who took six minutes off his PB

to finish third for the club in 1.07.36.

Tone Zone spokesman Glenn Penfold said: “Jess Thomson continued her excellent running with another personal best of 1.13.

Also running their best times were Stan Mack, Peter Ramsdale and Neil Pacey, with Stan taking an amazing 16 minutes from his fastest time.

“The race received unanimous praise from everyone at the club who took part, helped out or supported and we hope it will be a regular event on the Bognor town calendar. ” Club officials also praised the role of volunteers who helped staff two water stations around the course which helped ensure all those taking part were hydrated as the autumnal sun peeked through.

Here's a list of some of the Tone Zone times: Peter Lee 1.01.49; Sean Power 1.04.00; Jack Penfold 1.07.36; Jack Harding 1.08.52; Kari Mack 1.08.55; Juliet Stallard 1.09.16; Duncan Stephenson-Gill 1.09.17; David Rowe 1.12.10; Daryl Fairbrother 1.12.23; Jessica Thomson 1.13.13; Anne Kari Enes 1.14.28; Sean O’Donnell 1.14.48; Neil Strudwick 1.15.19 Ian Bayley 1.15.25; Keith Hardwell 1.15.43; Mark Green 1.18.14; Tony Holcombe 1.18.24.

Blues aim to bounce back along coast

f Chi on the attack against London Cornish

CHICHESTER RFC will look to overcome a mini-injury crisis and get back to winning ways as they visit Sussex rivals Brighton.

With four injured and another unavailable, Scott Ashley's Blue and Blues were well below par as they slumped to a 43-23 home reverse against London Cornish.

With local rivals Havant losing to CS Rugby, Chi stay third in the LSE Division One South.

But, with nine points separating Chi and undefeated leaders Medway, they will need to make improvements for the trip along the coast to ensure they do not lose further ground on top spot.

Club spokesman Roger Gould said: "Cornish happily took the chances given to them, and with their better backs deserved their five league points.

"In a depressing second half period for the Blues, they conceded 17 points without reply after being just one point behind. Cornish were well drilled and defended well when under some pressure."

Chi made their usual strong start in front of the Oaklands Park faithful with Jack Robson touching down for the first score, which was converted by Tom Hutchin.

But Cornish hit back and the loss of Number 8 Chris Johnson hit the Blue and Blues hard.

They did manage a good try when winger Cameron Hopkins fed Tom Belcher for a score. Indiscipline and a few defensive mistakes, however, saw them go into the break 15-19 down. Chi narrowed the gap to one just after the restart thanks to a Hutchin penalty.

But then the visitors, who were the league's form side coming into the match, took control.

A penalty was followed up by two quick tries which put them out of sight.

Chichester were brave and did not give up. They put Cornish under the cosh for five minutes and from lineout and drive, Scott Barlow pressed down. But they could not secure a losing bonus point, instead allowing another score on the last play of the match.

Return to the Vase for Chi and record-breaking Rutherford

f Pagham shot blanks against Hassocks

Pagham seek winning run FOOTBALL is a funny old game. And it's been a funny old season for anyone following Pagham FC this term.

Life at Nyetimber Lane is rarely dull, though, with the Lions making a habit of surprising their supporters.

A struggle to string results together has been a problem, however, and that's a fact which sees Pagham sitting ninth in SCFL Premier.

But, with the Lions still in touching distance of the leading sides in a very competitive division, the focus turns to chalking up a series of positive results - starting with tomorrow's match at home to Eastbourne United (3pm).

Pagham fans will be buoyed by the fact the club are now unbeaten in five matches.

That includes eye-catching performances and wins against Eastbourne Town and, in what was a thrilling encounter on Tuesday night, Crowborough Athletic in the Sussex Senior Cup. But the Lions faithful also know that run includes draws against East Preston and Hassocks, both of whom are likely to be at the wrong end of

the SCFL Premier at the end of this term.

This past week was perhaps a good example of what the management duo of Richie Hellen and Tom Simmonds have faced this term.

Last Saturday Pagham failed to breach a stubborn Hassocks defence which resulted in a 0-0 draw in a lifeless match.

Just three days later, Pagham appeared reborn coming out on top in a five goal thriller against Crowborough to soar into the third round of the Sussex Senior Cup. The Lions started as they meant to go on, skipper Jamie Horncastle giving them the lead after just three minutes after a goalmouth scramble.

More goals could, and perhaps should, have followed in the first period.

But they had to wait until after the break to double their lead through Dan Simmonds.

The striker then scored his second and Pagham's third with a fine free kick.

The visiting Crows did reduce the deficit late on.But it was too late to spoil Pagham's party and thoughts now turn to bagging a potentially plum tie as the county's knockout competition continues.

f The Lions are unbeaten in five in all competitions

CHICHESTER City head into FA Vase looking to equal last season's record-breaking run.

Miles Rutherford's side reached the last 32 of the national non-league knockout competition last year, matching their best ever performance in the competition.

Tomorrow, the Lillywhites welcome Southern Counties East Football League Premier side Deal Town to Oaklands Park for the second round tie (3pm).

With the Kent-based opponents mid-table in their division, Rutherford will believe his side have the quality to win through to the last 64.

Chi go into the match off the back of a tough and testing week. Last Saturday they pushed SCFL Premier league leaders Haywards Heath Town all the way, before a late own goal condemned them to a 2-1 defeat.

After falling behind in the third minute, Josh Clack looked to have given Chi a point before they were cruelly denied in injury time.

But Rutherford's side bounced back on Tuesday night at Oaklands when second half strikes from Samuel Ndlovu and Kieran Hartley saw them beat Newhaven in the third round of the Peter Bentley Cup.

f Chi City reached the FA Vase's last 32 last term

Selsey out to overcome slump Ne

SELSEY'S slide down the SCFL Division One continues.

After the first six weeks of the season, the Blues were sitting pretty near the top of the division, having chalked up a 100 per cent record.

But, since a draw with struggling Seaford in September, Steve Bailey's side have won just once in the league and twice out of ten matches in all competitions.

That poor form continued last weekend when an injury time goal saw league leaders Little Common make the long trip back to Bexhill with all three points.

It all started so well for Selsey, who took the lead in the first period, after Robert Madden gave them a deserved lead. But two second half goals condemned them to defeat and saw them slip to eighth in the division.

Tomorrow they travel to Haywards Heath to play St Francis Rangers (3pm), a side who defeated them back in September in the RUR Cup. But, with the hosts on a losing streak of five, Bailey will know that his side have a real chance of arresting their slump and start moving in the right direction once again.

f Selsey took the lead through Robert Madden

In SCFL Division Two, Sidlesham return to action after a week off looking to close the gap on the sides above them.

Daren Pearce's young team are fourth, losing just once in their 11 matches so far.

The side were given an unexpected week off last time out when their match against Clymping was postponed a day in advance due to administration errors from the hosts.

After a week to recharge their batteries, Sids make the trip to Lancing United tomorrow (2pm) a side that are fourth bottom but have beaten second-placed Roffey this term.

Pearce knows his side will fancy their chances, though, after beating United 2-0 in the cup already this season.

Elsewhere, Bosham will be looking to bounce back from one of their poorest results in recent years after being smashed 4-0 at home to Cowfold last weekend.

The Robins have struggled in their defence of the SCFL Division Two crown.

But new manager Gary Lines, who was appointed in the summer, will expect more from the squad when they host Alfold in the first round of the league cup at Walton Lane tomorrow (1.30pm).

After losing four on the trot, Bosham now have to go back until September to remember a match where they last come out on top.

They have the perfect incentive against Alfold, though, who have already beaten them 3-2 in the league.

Chi Ladies set out to make capital gains CHICHESTER City Ladies head to south London looking to make capital gains as their FA Women's Premier League adventure continues.

The Green and White Army face Crystal Palace on Sunday (2pm) eager to kick on in their debut season in the third tear of the women's game.

Matt Wright's side are unbeaten in four league matches but were left disappointed last weekend when they could only manage a 1-1 draw against bottom side Queens Park Rangers.

Chi fans will be hoping a swift return to the capital will bring a better return and help them move up from their current league position of sixth in the 12 team division.

They must do so without the services of Kerrie Ryan, who is leaving for Australia.

The midfielder's hopes of signing off with a win against QPR took a blow when, with the game only a few minutes old, the home side took a shock lead through their striker Amanda Chimbima.

Chi then took charge but just could not find the net. Even a penalty was spurned when Ryan fired over from 12 yards out.

It took until close to the end of the match for Chi to level things up, Ryan making amends with a cross which was steered home by Gemma Simmonds. The visitors pushed on for the win but time eventually ran out, leaving them wondering what might have been if they had found their shooting boots.

Rocks return to the Lane for an end to hunt for league success Next Game

HAMPTON & R'MOND (H)

Tomorrow, 3pm

BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce says the formula for ending the Rocks' three month wait for a league win is 'not rocket science'.

The Rocks have made it a very unlucky 13 league games without three points after last registering a National South win against Whitehawk back in August.

That run continued last weekend when, despite a spirited and composed showing, the Rocks fell to a 3-0 defeat to high-flying Braintree Town.

The result took the hosts to second in the league while the Rocks slipped into the drop zone for the first time this campaign.

But, with the club returning to Nyewood tomorrow for only the second time since September, Bognor will be hoping familiar territory and a fervent home support will spur them on to ending the run - even if they are pitted against the league's in-form side in Hampton & Richmond.

Speaking to the Post, manager Jack Pearce says the club must improve in front of goal if they are to end the run.

He said: "Unfortunately, even though I am pleased with the amount of possession we have had in recent games, the case on pretty much every occasion is that in the last third, the quality of the ball in and quality of finishing has to improve.

"It's not rocket science. And it's not rocket science to say we would benefit with another

forward."

Pearce made the comments in midweek, reflecting on the fact his side have scored just three goals in the past five games.

With such profligacy in front of goal, the long-serving manager knows that the Rocks cannot afford to concede early goals, like the one that went in after just 25 seconds at Braintree. However, after watching his side dominate possession and play for long periods, Pearce is convinced the club is heading in the right direction.

He said: "When you go away, the worse possible thing is conceding after 25 seconds.

It's hard enough without doing that.

"The only pleasing thing is that for the next 44 and half minutes we had more possession and more of the play than them. It was their manager who was more animated and upset with the way they were being outplayed.

"I think if a neutral was watching then they would think we were the ones who were near the top of the table but that doesn't count."

The Rocks will be boosted tomorrow as skipper Sami El-Abd is nearing full fitness, although fellow defender Corey Heath is a doubt.

Pearce said: "All you can do with any footballer is train them hard and instil a positive attitude, then put them on the park and try and play a system to their strengths.

That's what we'll keep on doing."

Pearce vows to keep looking "WE DO not stop looking or making phone calls."

Anyone who doubted Jack Pearce's commitment to improving the current Rocks squad should put those thoughts to one side.

Over the years, the Bognor boss has helped piece together more squads than some have had hot dinners.

The problem, though, is not simply talking about what the problem may be, but going out there and solving that issue while staying within the Rocks' tight budget.

And, with his side now slipping into the drop zone of National South, Pearce knows that he needs to keep on flipping through his contacts book to find the answer.

Pearce said: "There's work to do. Ibra has been a good signing and everyone in the whole squad we have there at the moment could be in a squad that does well in the league that we are in.

"I think we need strengthening in one or two areas, but especially in central striking role.

Having a tall, pyhsical front man would be an enormous benefit to everyone I think.

"But they do not come easy, especially with the budget and location that we have. We will keep on looking."

f Jimmy Muitt stretches the Town defence

IT'S BEEN another eventful fortnight for everyone involved with the Rocks.

Bognor did really well to gain a point away to Truro City. I listened to the radio commentary by BBC Radio Cornwall in the second half and many have said how we really could have taken the win there on another day.

It was very frustrating they had to keep going to other reports of rugby matches in the area - stick to the Rocks already!

This was a great turnout from the fans, many of which took flights, early train rides and obviously the long coach journey from Nyewood Lane.

I have seen photos of the game including the flares for #pyroforpurvis after the game.

It’s always sad to see other Rocks fans passing away.

My thoughts are with Ryan’s family and friends at this time.

Thanks to Dave Seabourne.

I got a lift to the Crawley Town Sussex Senior Cup game during midweek.

Crawley, as ever, caused us problems and went into a 2-0 lead. But on came Ollie Pearce who, for me, instilled a lease of energy into our attacks and smashed a goal in to give us a chance. Ollie would also hit the bar later on and had a goal disallowed for offside. I don’t think it was offside from where we were sitting, though!

Crawley finished Bognor with a third goal with 10 minutes left of the game.

Not the greatest of matches, and it was to be Ferdinand Takyi’s last fixture for Bognor as Jack still hunts for a frontman to partner Sekajja as striker.

I have never seen so many blatant fouls and poor decisions in one half of football and the yellow cards shown to Bognor players appeared to be the official’s answer to many decisions.

What an adventure 34 Rocks fans (including me) had this past Saturday.

On the way to Braintree

at about 1.30pm, the coach crashed over a ditch or pothole and within half a mile we lost all power.

As time passed and, despite trying to get the vehicle running, it was eventually decided we should wait at the nearest roundabout at a turnoff at Ingatestone on the A12 (Chelmsford) for the players' coach to come and pick us up from the Cressing Road ground, situated around 14 miles away.

So the coach eventually arrived around 2.52pm and we got to the game around 3.35pm. As we were all crammed on the second coach we found out thanks to the internet that we were 1-0 down after just 21 seconds!

We got to the game around five minutes before half time and were playing quite well.

However, the second half proved difficult and mistakes cost us with the third goal particularly unstoppable against a side that sit second in the league at present.

We got back on a new coach for the trip home and on the way back saw our broken down coach still trying to make it back to Angmering!

When I got back to Littlehampton, Chris (the coach driver) told me it had only just got to Dartford after having to stop every 10 miles to rectify a fuel pump problem!

What we do to support this team is amazing really. It was quite comical standing there at that roundabout and counting the numerous cars going by and the occupants of said cars staring back at us wondering who we were.

Despite recent results, I am trying to stay positive and still believe we can stay up. For me the crucial games are coming, including home games against Oxford City, Concord Rangers and Poole Town. The Whitehawk away game would also be nice to win in the new year after our victory against them at Nyewood Lane earlier this season. The battle is on!
