Raising thousands on Moonlight walk
A royal opening of new hub BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk VISITORS to a brand new dementia hub in Chichester were invited to a special opening ceremony on Tuesday. HRH Countess of Wessex officially opened charity, Dementia Support's Sage House in Tangmere. Her Royal Highness was accompanied
by Susan Pyper, Lord Lieutenant of West Sussex, and greeted on arrival by several guests including Chichester MP Gillian Keegan. Mrs Keegan said: "Once again, Chichester is the leader in this kind of service and it makes you very proud to be part of the community. "Every single one of us has had somebody that we know that has been affected by dementia.
"In my case, it was both of my grandmothers who have been diagnosed with dementia and one just recently died, in January this year. "This kind of support for my parents, both of whom had a parent who suffered from dementia, would have been fabulous. "I can only imagine how much help this is going to be for any family that have anybody who is touched by dementia

which, let's face it, most of us will be at some point. "I'm also looking forward, very much to the education in the community to try and make this more of a dementiafriendly city. That is something to aspire to. Somewhere where all of us understand how to help people with dementia for longer in the community, I would be very supportive of that." Turn to page eleven

Cyclist found on A27 badly injured BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk POLICE are investigating after a cyclist was found lying seriously injured on the A27 Chichester by-pass eastbound near the Stockbridge Roundabout at 7.22am on Thursday, May 10. His bicycle appeared to have been struck from behind by a vehicle which did not stop. The eastbound carriageway was closed to traffic and diversions set up. Significant delays led to motorists being advised to avoid the area. Anyone who saw what happened to the cyclist or who may have other information is asked to report details online or by phoning 101, quoting Operation Redstone. At the time of going to print, the road was still closed. Chichester police tweeted: "Chichester A27 Stockbridge roundabout is currently closed due to serious road traffic accident. Please avoid the area."

f Hailsham and District Scale Model Club
BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk NINE modelling clubs attended Tangmere Military Aviation Museum on Saturday to exhibit their work. The museum, in collaboration with the Tangmere Sector Modellers Club, held a scale model show including three modelling trade stands. Derek Hersey, treasurer and show organiser for Hailsham and District Scale Model Club, said: "Our club were very pleased to help support Tangmere Sector Modellers, and Tangmere Museum on
their first joint model show. "As far as we could see, the event went very well and all our club members had a thoroughly enjoyable day. "The museum is well worth a visit on its own, in fact, we are planning a club visit in the foreseeable future. Our club members were able to answer a lot of questions from the general public." David Coxon, deputy director at the museum said: "The museum was very pleased with the successful scale model show jointly run with our local model club, the Tangmere Sector Modellers. "Nine other clubs participated and over 550 visitors enjoyed the event."

DRIVERS were alarmed when a huge sink hole appeared in Midhurst on Wednesday. The A286 Bepton Road in Midhurst was closed in the afternoon due to a large sinkhole outside the Masonic Hall. A West Sussex County Council spokesperson said: “Motorists are urged to avoid the A286 in Midhurst if possible while work is ongoing to repair a sinkhole which appeared on Bepton Road, near the Masonic Hall, yesterday afternoon. “Southern Water has put in place a diversion route to prevent HGVs using the area. However, cars can still get access via Pertoria Avenue. “West Sussex Highways and Southern Water are working together to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. However, due to the depth of the void, it is unlikely the road will be open until tomorrow afternoon (Friday) at the earliest.” Peter Buckman, pictured above, a resident from Cocking was driving on his way home from work when he saw the sinkhole appear. He said: "I was coming up through Midhurst at about 2pm and a tractor was coming towards me. I saw a lot of smoke coming up from the ground and he was braking. "About 170mm of tarmac broke and
then the whole lot dropped down, about half a metre. The hole was about 2m long and a metre wide. I stopped and with two other people, we decided to try and get the parked cars out the way and get the traffic moving. "A local lady came and gave me a high vis jacket and we were offered tea too. We managed to keep the traffic going for around an hour or so and then the police turned up around 3pm and closed the road within ten minutes. "A man from Clancy Docwra pulled up and had a look at the hole. He said they had been here a week or so ago repairing a water leak. "I was the first person there on Wednesday so I had to stop. I couldn't just drive away, so I helped with the traffic." A Southern Water Spokesperson said: “Working closely with West Sussex Highways, we are currently excavating the hole that has opened up on the A289 Bepton Road . We will shortly be carrying out investigations on our mains in order to pinpoint the cause of the hole and decide on the necessary repair work. “In the meantime traffic diversions are in place. We appreciate this is an inconvenience but would like to thank everyone for their patience whilst we work on this emergency.”

` Police issue a witness appeal POLICE are appealing for witnesses following a collision on Bank Holiday Monday. On Monday, May 7, police attended a collision between a grey Volkswagen Golf estate car and a pedal cyclist at the roundabout junction of Spitalfield Lane and Douglas Martin Road, Chichester. It happened around 7.15am and resulted in the cyclist, a 23-yearold man from South Croydon, sustaining serious leg injuries. He is currently being treated at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton. The car driver, a 61-year-old man from Chichester, was unhurt.

` City canal benches WE HAVE been asked to point out by Chichester resident, Simon Taylor, regarding our article in Issue 104 about drugs at the Chichester canal that there was a typing error with a quote. The quote by Cllr Fitzjohn should read: “We will not put back the bench at the bottom of South Bank…” whereas currently it reads: “We will now put back the bench at the bottom of South Bank….” We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Brawling at races doesn't dampen racegoers' spirits BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THOUSANDS of people flocked to Goodwood Races in glorious sunshine for the opening Saturday event which was unfortunately spoiled by an incident. The event, which marks the start of the season's 19 days of racing for the year, included eight races, but at around 4.30pm racegoers in the Gordon Enclosure were witness to fighting between several visitors, leaving six people injured. A Goodwood spokesperson said: "Goodwood Racecourse was informed of a disturbance during this afternoon’s racing. The incident was dealt with by on-event security and Sussex Police were notified as a precaution. "On-event medical staff treated six people and the racecourse is supporting Sussex Police with its on-going enquiries. "Goodwood Racecourse wishes to apologise to any racegoer who was affected by this incident." Police have now launched an appeal for witnesses following the altercation. A police spokesperson said: "Officers were called to the racecourse in Chichester at 4.47pm on Saturday after reports of multiple altercations at the premises. "It is believed there were around 50 people involved, four people were taken to hospital with serious injuries and several others suffered minor injuries. The four who were taken to hospital have
since been discharged. The investigation is ongoing." Anyone who witnessed the altercation is asked to report information online or call 101, quoting 880 of 05/05. Alternatively, you can visit the Crimestoppers website or contact the independent charity anonymously on 0800 555 111. Visitors were able to see how busy staff had been during the closed season with renovations of stands and a new cafe inside the March Stand. The March Coffee Shop, located in the Richmond Enclosure, serves barista-style coffee, sandwiches, toasties, paninis, sausage rolls, scones and cakes. The going was good to soft and soft in places and the first race saw Chivers winning, ridden by Joshua Bryan, with odds of 9/2. The 3.50pm, fifth race saw drama when jockey Kieran Shoemark fell from Queen of Time with one furlong to go, leading to a stewards' enquiry. The results stood, with Nyaleti scooping the win. Visitor Lawrence Andrews had been treated to the day by his partner, Kay, for his birthday. He said: "It's been a really great day here in the sunshine. "I have had a few wins and enjoyed the racing. It is a shame that some people have ruined the day for others, but luckily we weren't there at the time and didn't have to see it. "I really enjoy coming to Goodwood and it's been a lovely birthday treat."

Proud to foster A mother has spoken of her pride in being a foster carer ahead of this year’s Foster Care Fortnight. The theme for this year’s national awareness campaign is ‘Proud to foster’ and will be run by The Fostering Network from May 14 to 27. West Sussex County Council, which is looking for more people to consider fostering, especially teenagers and sibling groups, is backing the national campaign. The council will be holding a number of drop-in and chat events for Foster Care Fortnight to meet people and answering any questions they may have about fostering. The national awareness fortnight will also be highlighting the diversity of people who foster – including single carers, professionals who foster alongside work, and people from all backgrounds and religions. Ahead of this, a West Sussex foster carer, Nikki has spoken of how her family decided to open their home to vulnerable children. Nikki was inspired to foster children after her role as a sessional worker brought her into contact with foster carers and the children they supported. She is particularly proud of her own son who has played a big part in fostering children. He was very young when they made the decision to foster. Nikki said: “My own son has played more of a part than he realises. He has grown up more aware of the inequalities of life and it
has made him a better person. “I have a really big community of other foster carers around me, some of whom we met all those years ago on our Skills to Foster training. And our social work support has been fantastic.” Nikki and her family have supported a number of children over the years – many of whom they are still in touch with. They are currently fostering siblings on a longterm basis. Nikki said: “People assume brothers and sisters will be there for each other but like all siblings, they don’t always get on. It can be a challenge, but with some therapeutic support we are getting there. “We can be proud that their time with us allowed them to move on and make good attachments elsewhere.” A number of drop in and chat events are being held by the county council’s fostering team in May. • Southbourne Library - May 9 from 2pm to 4pm • Arun Leisure Centre - May 14 from
2pm to 5pm • Felpham Community College - May 15 from 6.30 to 8.30pm • Starbucks Broadwater - May 24 from 10am to 12noon Stephen Hillier, cabinet member for children and young people, said: “Every single one of our foster carers in the county should be proud of the support they give to our children and young people. “Some children may only need a few nights of support, others may need to spend a lot longer in foster care, but all of them need a friendly face who can give them the love and care they deserve. “Thank you to everyone who gives up their time to give a child a loving home. Your help is invaluable.” With more foster carers currently needed in West Sussex, the team is looking forward to talking to residents interested in fostering. People can also find out more about fostering by visiting www.westsussex.gov. uk/fostering or calling 0330 222 7775.

Moonlight walkers are out of this world BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk
f Penny and her daughter Sarah completed the 10 mile walk
OVER 1,000 people packed the main hall at Westgate Leisure Centre on Saturday night, as walkers registered for a five or 10-mile sponsored walk to raise money for St Wilfrid’s Hospice. This year was the 10th anniversary of the Moonlight Walk and the record crowd and dazzling entertainment ensured memories made on the night will be cherished for many years to come. Alison Moorey, the hospice's chief executive, said: "We are so thrilled so many people young and old put on their walking boots to support St Wilfrid’s Hospice. “There was a wonderful spirit of togetherness as we remembered those we have loved and helped fund-raise vital care for people who are terminally ill. “Local people are what make both this event and the hospice so special.” Walkers who reached the last station of the 10-mile route were over the moon to see Chichester’s’ own Tim Peake, as his image and message of support to walkers was projected over 15 feet high at a ‘Man on the Moon’ themed station. With over £40,000 already accumulated from processed donations and sponsorships, the event is sure to have gone a considerable distance in ensuring St Wilfrid’s can continue to serve the local
community for many moons to come. Chichester resident Sarah Parvin, 30, completed the 10 mile walk with her mother, Penny, aged 70, in memory of their dad and husband, Malcolm, who was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in September, 2010. She said: "By the time of diagnosis, my dad could barely swallow anything, including liquids, and was in a lot of pain. "My dad started chemotherapy and a short course of radiotherapy but it wasn’t long after he had started that we found out the tumour was inoperable and that the cancer had spread to his liver. He passed away four months later, aged 71, in St Wilfrid’s Hospice. "Mum and I were struggling at home to care for dad in the last stages of his life and knew we couldn’t make him as comfortable as he needed to be. "We had contact throughout with the amazing Macmillan nurses who arranged for my dad to go into St Wilfrid’s Hospice. He went in there six days before he passed away. "The staff there were incredible and so supportive, not just to my dad but to us all as a family. They gave us meals to eat there at no cost, meaning we could spend more precious time with my dad. "All the staff there were so upbeat and positive, which made a truly distressing time an easier one for us all. On my dad’s final day, they hoisted him into a bath and put aromatherapy oils on to help him
f The walkers packed in to the hall on the evening
relax and be more comfortable. After my dad passed away, they offered my mum and I their counselling services for as long as we needed and said their doors are always open to us. "It is so important to do this walk in aid of St Wilfrid’s Hospice as they only receive 15 per cent of funds from the government and the rest has to come from donations. It’s also a way of remembering our loved ones and giving the hospice something back for the love and care they provided to them. Mum and I have completed this walk a number of times now and always enjoy it. "We both completed the 10 mile walk and raised over £400 between us. I did the walk after a 12.5 hour shift so was pretty tired before I started! It was a struggle near the end but we managed to push through the pain in our feet! The atmosphere is amazing and all the voluntary guides along the way really boosted us and kept us going. "A big thank you to all those who organised the 10th anniversary Moonlight Walk and for all the volunteers who gave up a good night’s sleep to guide us through! The entertainment was also amazing, with light shows, music and jugglers, which made it all the more special."

A city tragedy remembered BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE TANGMERE Military Aviation Museum is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Dambusters next week but there is a tragic story among the crew. Frederick Tees was born in Chichester in 1922 and was shot down in the famous Dambuster raids in May, 1943, the only survivor of his crew. He joined the RAF in 1941 and was selected for gunner training the following year. Although he flew in the rear or midupper turret, the specially adapted Dams raid Lancasters had no mid-upper turret and on Monday, May 17, Tees was in the rear - a decision which saved his life. As the plane neared Hamm, a commotion occurred and the plane, AJ-C "Charlie" had been hit on the port side. His turret was immobilised and he heard a member of the crew say: "I'm sorry boys, we've had it." Tees decided there was no future in bailing out with three engines on fire. He regained consciousness some minutes later and found his turret had been blown clear of the wreckage. He was badly burned, quickly captured by the Germans, and spent the rest of the war as a prisoner of war. It was known that Tees had survived for several months and his family were not notified he was missing in action. Almost a year later, on May 11, 1944 Tees' mother, Elizabeth, was tragically killed
when a USAAF B24 Liberator crashed on the laundry in The Hornet in Chichester where she worked. The plane had been damaged on a bombing operation over France and the pilot set course to crash it into the English Channel once the crew baled out. Unfortunately, the aircraft veered off this course and crashed on land, killing three civilians. Some reports claim that Mrs Tees had defied orders and returned to the burning building to retrieve her handbag. Details of the occurrence say: "At 15:55 hrs, and American Liberator crashed on the allotments south of Kenneth Long's Timber yard. There were five 1000lb bombs on board of which two exploded scattering parts of the aircraft over a wide area." Mrs Tees, aged 58, died of her injuries in hospital on the Sunday after the event Tragically, Frederick Tees did not learn of his mother's death until he was released as a PoW in 1945. Tees was cremated in England and his last wish was for his ashes to be scattered on the graves of his fallen comrades in Reichswald Forest war cemetery. The Dambusters exhibition at the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum can be found in the Middle Hall. A print of a painting by local artist, Tony Sargeant, is on display and depicts three of the No 617 Squadron’s (the ‘Dambusters’) Lancaster bombers. For more information visit: tangmeremuseum.org.uk

Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) was formed in protest at the rapid increases in the state pension age for women to 66. The bus tour also took in the Houses of Parliament and Downing Street before it ended with the protest at the DWP. The mock ticket was handed to a civil servant for Guy Opperman, under-secretary of state for work and pensions. The two-and-a-half hour tour also involved the Back to 60 and 63 Is The New 60 protest groups. Bognor Regisbased Radio Respect broadcast the tour live on the internet.

PENSION campaigners from Bognor Regis and Chichester staged a special bus ride to the government to accuse it of creating a one-way ticket to poverty. The 49 passengers on board the 1950s Routemaster double-decker handed in a giant bus ticket to the Department for Work and Pensions to protest at making women wait longer for the state pension. The stunt on Tuesday was the idea of Bognor, Chichester and South Coast Waspi member Angie Taylor. Angie, who lives in Bognor Regis, said: "We wanted to put our heads above the parapet to show the government that we are still here and are not going away. "It's all about continuing to be

Steve finds his forever home BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk AN AKITA Cross dog has finally found his forever home after searching for almost a year and a half. Staff at Mount Noddy RSPCA branch in Eartham are delighted after the dog in their care has finally been re-homed. Two year old Steve had been at the branch for one year and five months where he was cared for by the dedicated team. The staff have been desperately calling on the public to help find him a new home even setting up a dedicated Facebook Page - Find Steve a home, which has almost 200 likes. New owners, Samantha and Adam Sinfield from Chichester are delighted to have been able to adopt Steve. Samantha said: "My husband Adam and I had been to visit Steve a few times and been to his physio appointment too and as I'm a holistic therapist, I will be able to continue with his physio myself. "We rescued a dog from Devon our darling Ripley who was a Dogue De Bordeaux and we sadly lost her in February due to cancer. "I had decided that the right dog would find us and I wasn't going to search for one. My daughter Jade told us about Steve and we couldn't believe he was still in Mount Noddy. "I thought he was waiting for us to be ready for him, I had a hip replacement two years ago and when I found out Steve needed one it was just another connection we shared. "Although I knew I would be taking on
quite a challenge with him I knew I had the time and patience to mould him into the dog I know he can be and in only two days he's made so much progress. "I have chickens, ducklings and chicks. We had to make sure everything was ready for Steve so my husband worked really hard to get the ducklings enclosure finished so everyone would be safe. "On Sunday, which happened to be our wedding anniversary we went to Henley to do Tough Mudder in aid of a teenage cancer trust. "My husband had booked us into a lovely hotel as a surprise so we wouldn't be home until Bank Holiday Monday, but Anya from Mount Noddy said she could do the home check on the Monday afternoon and bring Steve with her and if everything was OK she could leave him with us so we hurried home and waiting for Steve to arrive." Clare Palmer, branch manager, said: "Myself, animal operations manager Susie Carter and all our dedicated animal care assistants have worked tirelessly to find a suitable loving home for Steve. "This has involved structured training and socialisation plans for him, rehabilitation following an operation involving weekly hydrotherapy sessions, several vet visits for check ups and x-rays, advertising, bucket shaking, and hours and hours of social media posts. "We are delighted he is now finally in his forever home with such a loving family."

Unique dementia centre given the royal seal of approval at opening BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk HER ROYAL Highness Countess of Wessex was greeted at the Tangmere Dementia Hub by Mrs Caroline Nicholls, High Sheriff of West Sussex, Cllr Elizabeth Hamilton, Chairman of Chichester District Council and Mr Anthony Wickens, Dementia Support Chairman and founder. Her Royal highness was accompanied by Dementia Support chief executive Sally Tabbner and Anthony Wickens to see the various dementia support services and to meet customers, carers, volunteers, members of staff and trustees. The visit started in the Memory Assessment and Information Zone where the Countess of Wessex was talked through the memory assessment process with a psychiatrist and retired GP. Her Royal Highness was then shown the Care and Activities Zone where the charity runs its dementia wellbeing activities and day care services. After lunch, the Countess concluded her visit by unveiling a plaque to officially open Sage House where she gave a speech. Her Royal Highness said: "Thank you very much for inviting me to do this. I am really pleased to be here and to see the work that you have put into it. "Clearly it is going to serve your community, so very well. And, as you say, hopefully provide the framework and models for elsewhere in the country.
"On behalf of the individuals and the families that you are here to serve, thank you and all your colleagues and associates for what you have done. "You will be serving well in the future and I wish you every success." The Countess was presented with a posy by Edward Page, aged nine and his six-year-old sister, Bella Page. The siblings both chose the name 'Daisy's Cafe' for Sage House's community cafe, in honour of their great-grandmother Daisy who had dementia. A specially made Dementia Support bracelet was given to Her Royal Highness by Iris Randell, aged ten who chose the name 'Forget-Me-Not Lane' for a corridor to the therapy rooms. Maria Mant from Eastergate takes her husband Roger, pictured right, to the support hub after he was diagnosed in 2016 with the illness. Roger gave the thumbs up when asked how he felt to meet Her Royal Highness. The couple have used the day activities since the hub opened. Mrs Mant said: "At the moment we use the day activities. We might look in to day care, maybe I can go off out. But at the moment it's the activities which we come to and do together." The couple previously lived in Fontwell, where Roger was the head groundsman at the racecourse. He said: "Oh, I do like coming here. It's good here." Tony Caffyn also uses the day activities with his wife of 60 years, Hilary. Mrs Caffyn said: "It was really lovely to meet Her Royal Highness today. We have been coming here ever since it opened
and we come very regularly. "We do art here which we enjoy and sometimes others either in the afternoon or the morning. They have been running a wellbeing class which is really rather good. We might go on to do the day care. "This service is wonderful, it really is. I amazed at what they have done." Mr Caffyn said: "I do like coming here. I don't know how many activities we have done so far but I enjoy them. Chief Executive, Sally Tabbner was privileged to have The Countess of Wessex opening he hub. She said: "For someone of this stature to take an interest and come to a local charity is lovely, we are really honoured to have her here. It is more than we could ever have hoped for. "We have been open but not really told anyone, just to make sure all snags were ironed out. But tomorrow is the really exciting bit for me, it's where our customers come through the door and we are open for business as usual. "I do think we will be incredibly busy and there is a bit of the building we haven't renovated yet. "I am expecting quite soon to be saying to our trustees: 'shall we just knock that through that wall and turn that bit into another bit of the dementia hub. That's what I am really hoping for. "We have got 5,500 people across our geographic patch living with dementia and we are here to support each and every one of them."

PropertyNews ` Asking price tricks I’VE RECENTLY seen a little ‘trick’ being used by some estate agents that I wanted to make you aware of. I’ll also show you why I don’t think these marketing strategies are bestserving the buyers or sellers out there. It came to my attention as I was searching for a recent ‘buy-to-let deal of the week’. It was a decent property and had just been reduced by £25,000, which was a significant drop from £325,000. The problem was that it had been reduced just five days after first being listed. I see two problems with this. The first is that it’s a little misleading, and an unwary buyer may see the reduction and think they’re getting a good deal. This could be solidified by the estate agent saying how “it’s just been reduced by £25,000, so it really is a good deal now and I’d expect it to sell quickly at the full asking price”. The second problem is for the seller, as when a more clued-up buyer sees such a price drop they may conclude that the seller is keen to sell and will offer accordingly (i.e. low), particularly if it’s vacant like this one was. It is why you should do your research before you buy. If you’re investing in a buy-to-let property, feel free to give me a call and I’ll give you an honest opinion on its true value and rental potential.

` Conmen warning A £250 theft in Pagham has led police to issue a fresh warning about bogus callers. An elderly resident of Mill Park Road answered her front door at 2pm on April 25 to callers who told her they were from the 'water board'. They entered the property and walked out with the money. It was one of three such incidents on the same day. The others took place just before 3pm in Arundel and about 8pm in Cowfold. Some £350 was stolen in the afternoon distraction burglary but the woman resident at the last of the properties targeted shut the door on the two men. Tom Carpenter, of Sussex Police's West Sussex community investigation team, said: "In each case, two men called at the victims' homes, saying they were dealing with a water leak at a neighbouring property. "In two of the cases, they were able to go in and, while the victims were distracted in the kitchen, cash was stolen from their homes. "These types of incidents are thankfully rare but are nevertheless an unpleasant and often traumatic experience." Previous advice about distraction crimes was worth repeating, he said. This included checking the ID of callers by calling the company they say they represent, phoning a neighbour or friend to ask them to check out the caller on the doorstep and ignoring claims to represent the obsolete 'water board'. Large amounts of cash should also be kept in banks, and not domestic properties, where it was safe.

Special treats on special day for families COELIAC families from across southern England flocked to Bognor Regis for a celebration. A total of 150 adults and children joined in the special occasion to mark the 50th anniversary of Coeliac UK. They were able to enjoy a delicious range of gluten-free food and chatting to each other. The day was organised by the charity's West Sussex Coeliac Group. Its organiser, Anna Henderson, said the event at Butlin's had been a big success. "One little eight-year-old boy summed up everything with his happy beaming smile when he told me: 'Today I felt normal. I could eat everything just like all my friends do. This has been the happiest day of my life'. "The word safe kept popping up as the anxiety that coeliacs have about what they eat - and the consequence of eating something that isn't coeliac-free - can be a constant burden for the whole family. "One family told them they all felt safe today and another said they could all relax and have fun like any other family." There are 150,000 diagnosed coeliacs in the UK, but many more are believed to be undiagnosed. Coeliac disease is a serious autoimmune condition caused by a
reaction to the gluten in wheat, barley and rye. Gluten is in most food staples like bread, pasta and cereals. Coeliacs must maintain a strict glutenfree diet for life if they are to avoid serious complications like osteoporosis, infertility and bowel cancer. Money raised at the golden anniversary celebration day went to Coeliac UK's research fund to find a better and permanent solution for coeliac disease and related autoimmune conditions. The day at Butlin's was so popular some 400 applications for tickets were received. The 69 children and 81 adults who were able to join in enjoyed the site's attractions during the day with the centrepiece of a superb three-course gluten-free lunch and sumptuous gluten-free cupcakes. All the party-goers went away with balloons and bags overflowing with free gluten-free samples. "Our local group exists to support and encourage those of all ages who need to avoid gluten, particularly after diagnosis, which can be a difficult time," said Anna. "It is easy to become isolated. We provide opportunities for coeliacs to connect and meet with fellow sufferers, an option not available with all the purely online social media support groups."

Town unites for sight A SUN-DRENCHED day delighted organisers of a charity event in Bognor Regis. Students behind Unite4Sight saw the community combine to create a day with a difference in Hotham Park. They hope to have raised some £1,500 for the town-based 4Sight Vision Support charity when final takings are received from the range of fundraising activities such as tin can alley, coconut shy, silent auction, raffle and tombola. Events management degree students at the University of Chichester are in the final week of their three-year course and arranged a six-hour spectacular of sound and colour to count towards their final grades. At least 3,000 people were thought to have gone along to join in the fun. Among them was Colin McHale, 25, of Haslemere, and his family. "We came here for the day out and came across this event," he said. "It's good. It's a family event, it's got live music and it's free.
"There's lots of stalls and food and drink available as well. "I think the students have done very well and I expect we'll be here for a couple of hours." The six organisers spent seven months making arrangements for the bandstand performances and the some 20 stalls to take place. Joint organiser Jodie Brazil said: "Putting this event on has been a real rollercoaster. It's had its ups and it's certainly had its downs. "But, overall, it's been the most amazing experience, especially as it's for charity. I would say I've learned more from this than anything else while I've been at university." One of her fellow organisers, Lois Pretty, said seeing all the preparations come to life had made the hard work worthwhile. "We called today Unite4Sight because we wanted to bring everyone together to help people with sight problems. "4Sight is also a local charity and it's

perfect for bringing the community together. Putting on this event has certainly shown us the importance of organisation skills and communication. "Teamwork is also vital. Without that, none of this would have happened. Because we have worked so well together, today has gone really well," she said. Each hour of the day featured a different genre of music, pictured left below, from bands like The Beaten Tracks, Luna Blue, The Dolomites and Ben Harvey. Suzanne Hill School of Dance also staged a performance and the Batala Samba Band made for a noisy opening. A colour dance in which those taking part were drenched in a rainbow of brightness proved popular. Disney zumba and Disney music also got many visitors moving. 4Sight outreach worker and technology manager Dan Batchelor said: "This event is fantastic for us. It's all about raising awareness and it's helping us to do that. "Being here is a good way for people to know about our services. It's always good for us to be out in the community. "Not many people know about sight loss. Unless a person has sight loss, or knows someone who is living with it, people avoid the subject at all costs because they don't like to think about it." The charity is based in Victoria Drive and has services across West Sussex. It is also set to join with Specsavers in Bognor Regis on July 7 to promote the link between the diagnosis of an eye condition and the help available. "We know that link is lacking, not just locally but nationally, and we want people to know how they can be helped," he added.

Religious parade is a first DOZENS of Filipinos took one of their traditions on to the streets of Bognor Regis for the first time. Some 60 Catholic members of the community from the south-east Asian nation joined in the Santacruzan procession. It was believed to be the first on the south coast. Procession members walked from the High Street entrance of Hotham Park to Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Clarence Road. One of the organisers, Bernard Bautista, said: "We tried this last year but the weather was bad and we only paraded around the outside of the
church. This year, we wanted to hold the procession outside. We spoke to all the authorities and they said it was OK to go ahead." The parade was followed by a mass at the church. Residents of the Philippines have come to the Bognor Regis and Chichester areas to work for several years. But their community was only officially created after their country was hit by typhoon Haiyan in 2013. Their then parish priest, Father Tony Churchill, suggested a mass for the victims. The growing group has continued to

promote their national culture with a monthly Filipino-British mass on the first Saturday monthly. They also hold Christmas and summer parties. The parade depicts the finding of the cross of Jesus by Queen Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great the powerful emperer who ended the persecution of Christians. Mary Bautista, one of those taking part, said: "It's a tradition of religious devotion to the Virgin Mary. We will be praying the holy rosary while doing the parade." Three of the adults in the parade each held a cross, a rosary and a Bible. Eight children were angels. They carried a letter each to spell 'Ave Maria'. Signs celebrating three queens were also carried by some of the participants. Shane Bautista, nine, was an angel in the parade for the second year. "It was fun taking part in the parade last year. I liked it. It's more special than a normal mass," she said.

Happy ending as filmmakers win new award f Superheroes Josh Morgan and Tommy Morgan
Superhero start for scary week A SELECTION of superheroes gathered as the Bognor Regis town mayor launched his scary week. The likes of Superman and Captain America walked with Cllr Phil Woodall along the town's seafront before he completed the first of his challenges for charity. He climbed the inflatable slide on the foreshore before he completed a few circuits of the ride-on children's cars. He said: "I've got an extra week as mayor this year because of the late bank holiday. I wanted to do a few challenges to raise money for my chosen charities - Alzheimer's Society and Epilepsy Action. "I don't like heights and I don't like going on water."
FILM-MAKERS in Chichester have completed a hat-trick of wins in an annual competition. Members of Chichester Film and Video Makers clinched this year's Albany Competition for the third year in a row. A club spokesman said: "The Albany Competition is an annual competition between amateur film-making clubs from Sussex and the immediate borders of Surrey and Hampshire. "Each year, clubs make films of less than 15 minutes duration which must be based on a theme.
"This year, the theme was Elephant in the Room and the winning film by the club was Cardinal Sin. "This film can now be seen on the club's website - cfvm.org.uk. Also, have a look at our Facebook page to see some recent films that we have made." Clive Hand, the film's director, is pictured below right, receiving the award from the president of the club, Stan Harvey-Merritt. The club's continued success in the competition means it will again host the next year's version. The theme in 2019 will be Too Close To Call.
Chichester Film and Video Makers meets every other Wednesday, from September to May, in St Pancras Church Hall, St Pancras, in Chichester. Entry and a cup of tea are free. Its most recent meeting was on Wednesday. Films made by Solent Movie Makers were shown. "Anyone interested in amateur films and film-making is welcome to attend (our meetings) and experience at first hand the skill, imagination and expertise shown in the making of these films," the spokesman added. Entry and a cup of tea are free.
Among the 12 superheroes to join Cllr Woodall on Monday were Bognor Regis brothers Josh Morgan, nine, and Tommy Morgan, six. Josh went along as Captain America. He said: "He is so cool. He is super strong and can do a lot of things. "I've seen some of his films and I read the comics which have him in." Tommy was Spiderman. He said: I like the fact he can climb the walls and shoot web from his hands." Cllr Woodall's other challenges this week have included the hydraulic platform at Worthing Fire Station, visiting the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth and tackling a climbing wall.

FUNNY COW is a fitting showcase for Maxine Peake who plays an aspiring stand-up comic who endeavours to also stand up to her violent husband while forging a career on the sexist Northern club circuit. This is a class act; fiercely performed, smartly written, sensitively directed, wonderfully scored. But it’s the bitter tang of authenticity that stays with you. Also starring Paddy Considine and Alun Armstrong. Another spirited actress takes the lead in Let the Sunshine In. Juliette Binoche stars in this romantic comedy about a middle-aged Parisian artist woman hopping from relationship to relationship. And then there’s her ex-husband. Director Claire Denis (Chocolat, Good Work) weaves her trademark magic. From Canada, comes Never Steady, Never Still, starring this week’s strong character actress, Shirley Henderson (Trainspotting) as Judy, who’s living with Parkinson’s while trying to launch her son, Jamie, into the world. Encouraged to take a job as a roughneck in the oil fields of Alberta, he is confronted by a brutal, testosterone-filled workplace alongside an understanding of their mutual dependence. Strong women continue to dominate this week’s films, Lily

Marry these wines with your meals for a treat Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys martin.lury@me.com
ROYAL weddings come but once in a while, so with the talk majestic, Majestic topically had to be my oenological destination this week. I elected to sample four white wines and three red ones and commenced with the albeit somewhat beastly sum of £6.66 as an outlay for a 2017 Grande Réserve Domaine Saint Jean De La Cavalerie Chardonnay and, as the name implies, from an estate previously renowned for horse breeding in the Pays D'Oc region of France. Floral hints embellish this cheeky decidedly peachy number with dry wood flavours and presenting essentially as a pleasingly creamy Chardonnay one to pair with regal fish or coronation chicken and one well worth a punt! For a slight increase in price at £6.99, the 2016 Jean Sablenay Muscadet was crisp, had a slight spritz and lemon and lime flavours to the fore with notes of grass, green apples and a touch of citrus on the finish. Light and refreshing, this wine is
a pleasant apéritif and, given its low alcohol level (just 11.5 per cent) , is ideal for a lunch-time tipple. Next, a 2017 Villemarin Picpoul De Pinet caught my eye, being on offer at £7.99, and whose terroir, maritime climate and late ripening grapes make it a wine of note. This particular example has baked apple notes on the nose, is floral, dry, fresh and lip smacking along with zippy
fruit - extremely quaffable, à mon avis! My final white selection was that of a 2016 Bourgogne Les Chenaudières Chardonnay from the reputed Cave De Lugny on offer for £ 9.99 This reasonably-priced Burgundy proved to be aromatic with predominantly stone fruits and citrus on the palate and would please traditionalists. Three reds complete my column this

week, beginning with a 2016 Majestic Loves Montepulciano D'Abruzzo on offer for just £5.99. This wine is an easydrinking medium-bodied fruity wine oozing red cherry and black plum, although lacking great complexity - a good party wine nonetheless! For just two further pounds expended, the Z de Thienpont 2012 Bordeaux ,from a winery overlooking Château Margaux, is smooth, dry claret with berry and plum flavours and well-integrated tannins and a veritable snip at this offer price. My final red hails from the esteemed
6 fresh mint leaves ¼ cucumber Ice (crushed) 20ml lime juice 40ml soda water 15ml elderflower cordial 30ml apple juice 1 mint sprig (to garnish) 2 wedges of lime (to garnish)
Haskins’ mint and cucumber mojito
Method 1. Blitz your fresh mint leaves in a blender, or mash using a muddler, then put them into a tall glass. 2. Slice the cucumber into thin slices and place in the bottom of the glass. 3. Pour the lime juice, elderflower cordial and apple juice into your glass. 4. Place your ice into a sealable freezer bag and use a rolling pin to crush into small chunks. 5. Remove the ice from the freezer bag and place into the glass, then stir.
6. Add the soda water to the glass. 7. To garnish, place the mint sprig on top of the drink, near the edge. 8. As a finishing touch, place one lime wedge into the drink and the other on the rim of the glass. Haskins has centres in Ferndown in Dorset, West End in Southampton and Roundstone and Snowhill in West Sussex. For more information visit www.haskins.co.uk by Alice (www.lizleanpr.co.uk)

Rhubarb and ginger twice-baked soufflés
Method 1. Put the compote ingredients in a pan, bring to a simmer, then cook gently for 10 minutes until the rhubarb is tender but still holds its shape (see Make Ahead). Strain, reserving the cooking liquid, then set aside. 2. For the soufflés, heat the oven to 180°C/ 160°C fan/gas 4. In a medium pan, melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Mix in the flour and ground ginger to make a thick paste and cook for a minute or so until it smells biscuitty. Add the milk bit by bit, whisking until a thick white sauce forms. 3. Add 2 tbsp of the rhubarb cooking liquid and 50g of the caster sugar to the white sauce, then whisk in the egg yolks and set aside in a large clean mixing bowl. In another clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric hand mixer to form stiff peaks (they will hold their shape when the beaters are removed). Whisk in the
remaining 50g caster sugar for a minute to form a stiff, glossy meringue. 4. Gently but briskly, use a large metal spoon to fold the meringue into the white sauce, then spoon the mixture evenly among the prepared moulds. Bake for 25-28 minutes. The soufflés should be risen, slightly golden and wobble a little when you take them out of the oven. 5. Mix 100ml of the remaining rhubarb cooking liquid with the double cream (keep the rest to use in cocktails, if you like). 6. When the soufflés are cooked, carefully turn them out and put one in the centre of each baking dish. Pour the rhubarb-flavoured cream over each soufflé, sprinkle with brown sugar and spoon the strained rhubarb compote around the soufflés. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and bubbling. The sauce will be runny straight out of the oven but will thicken slightly as it cools.

Water and fibre can get to the bottom of a problem IT’S A subject that people don’t really want to discuss, but it is a fact of life that a high percentage of the population have suffered from, or have haemorrhoids, otherwise known as piles. Hemorrhoids are swollen and irritated veins around the anus or in the lower rectum of the body, which is the last segment of the large intestine leading to the anus. Its important to consider a few things when using the bathroom that may help control or avoid haemorrhoids completely. The number one tip is NOT to force a bowel movement. Straining and pushing may make hemorrhoids worse. If a bowel movement has not occurred after 2/3 minutes, it is best to get up and try again later. It also helps some people to have a similar schedule every day, such as sitting on the toilet for a few minutes after each meal. Number two tip…(no pun intended!) listen to the body in these cases. The moment the body needs a bowel movement is the best time to do it. Waiting for a less social setting or waiting to use the toilet at home can actually back up the stool and cause more stress and straining. This will only make the haemorrhoids worse. Softness goes a long way with haemorrhoids. If toilet paper is too irritating, using damp toilet paper may help. Alcohol-free baby wipes with absolutely no additives may also provide relief when wiping. Making certain lifestyle choices can help massively by either reducing the risk of developing haemorrhoids or limit the time that a person has them. These include: 1. Drinking plenty of liquids According to research, most anal problems such as haemorrhoids are caused by a lack of liquids in the diet. Drinking plenty of liquid throughout the day keeps the stool soft and manageable as it
works its way through the intestines. The result is a much softer stool that takes less energy to pass and causes less irritation to the haemorrhoids. 2. Fibre-rich diet Diets high in fibre are very important to digestive health, especially when it comes to bowel movements. Fibre can absorb water, which helps to both soften the stool and give it more body. This makes it easier to pass, so plenty of fruits and vegetables daily are essential. Natural remedies that may help… Coconut oil can be very useful! If you keep a small jar of coconut oil in your bathroom, reserved just for this purpose, you can easily apply some coconut oil externally on the haemorrhoids after each bowel movement. Use a fresh tissue to scoop out and apply a bit of coconut oil. This method is immediately soothing. Coconut oil has painrelieving properties and is also anti-bacterial, which may be helpful and it is also an antiinflammatory. It can be taken internally instead or in addition to topical use. Coconut oil works as an antiinflammatory when taken internally too and provides nutrients. For some, it provides a gentle laxative effect. Because constipation is a cause of haemorrhoids, using coconut oil to relieve constipation will relieve its condition. The maximum dose of coconut oil that is suggested per day is three tablespoons, taken throughout the day. But start with just a teaspoon a few times a day and make sure it suits you and slowly move up to the maximum dose. Aloe Vera can be applied on hemorrhoids as it gives an almost instant relief since it will help to calm and soothe tissues that are inflamed. So it can be said that gel from this plant can be an effective

remedy against symptoms like irritation, burning sensation, itching and pain. Due to the fact that this plant has anti-septic and anti-inflammatory properties, it can help not only provide relief from the symptoms, but it can also be effective in treating this condition. Both of these will help to shrink swollen tissues of piles and get rid of the condition faster. Health Talk: Staying healthy, energised and gorgeous this summer….

Community News & Views A DECADE of community activity is being marked at a North Bersted building this year. It is hoped the anniversary at Bersted Green Learning Centre, pictured below, will encourage more groups to use the venue. The learning centre at the back of the car park for the Bersted Green Court housing complex, in Hazel Road, is a joint initiative between Voluntary Action Arun and Chichester and Arun District Council to deliver training and learning at a low cost. It currently houses Yet2Learn, which is a community interest company that aims to provide an environment where suitably skilled young adults from college, university or elsewhere can practise their IT abilities by working on projects that benefit the community and local businesses. Jenny Holmes, Voluntary Action Arun and Chichester's senior admins and community officer, said this still left plenty of room for a host of community groups to use the centre. "There is currently some availability for bookings and, as the centre comes up to its 10th birthday, VAAC would love to see it being fully used for the benefit of the local community. "Groups that currently, or have previously, used the centre include dance groups, theatre groups, flower arranging, fitness classes, tea and chat and art groups. It has also been used to provide training on subjects such as health and safety, data protection, first aid, IT and social media. "In addition to the office that Yet2Learn use, the learning centre has a large main hall, a small interview/counselling room, a fully equipped computer suite and a kitchen," she said. "The facilities are available to hire at very competitive rates to any charities, organisations and businesses that want to provide community learning and training opportunities in the widest sense."

DOUBLE yellow lines are planned for Pagham to cut the speed of motorists. The parking bans are proposed for two sites in Pagham Road to help to solve a safety problem believed to have been caused by an existing set of double yellow lines. West Sussex County Council has been consulting about the latest permanent traffic regulation order along the road. It wants to install the double yellow lines on the eastern side of Pagham Road at its junction with Hook Lane and on the road's western side at the junction of the access road to the new housing being built behind 252 Pagham Road. It will also enable the length of the current double yellow lines on the road's eastern side to be reduced. Tony Kershaw, the county council's director of law and assurance, says in a statement: "In 2014, new double yellow lines were introduced near the shops in Pagham Road. "Unfortunately, these lines caused vehicles to park further north, near the junction with Hook Lane, where they cause obstruction and visibility problems. "Concerns have also been raised that the removal of parked vehicles near the shops has increased traffic speeds. "It is, therefore, proposed to install double yellow lines to prevent parking too close to Hook Lane and to remove a length of the current lines opposite Millfarm Drive. "This shortening of the lines will improve access to the local shops and may also help to reduce traffic speed." The western set of the lines is proposed to protect the access at the junction of the new housing development. * The county council is also seeking to move the pedestrian crossing on the B2259 Felpham Way in Felpham. This is to enable a mini-roundabout to be installed at its junction with Summerley Lane to improve road safety. The crossing needs to be moved eastwards to keep a safe distance with the roundabout.
TWO CHICHESTER College students are celebrating after reaching the shortlist of a national award scheme. Millie Harrington, pictured above left, and Grace Knight, above right, were nominated for the front of house and management categories respectively in the Institute of Hospitality Student Awards. Millie finished as a finalist and Grace was highly commended at the ceremony. Grace said: "We really didn't think we would get this far, but we just went for it as it's a really important industry award. "We were surprised when we found out we had been shortlisted." Millie said: "The ceremony was really enjoyable - it was really nice to be on the other
LAUGHTER has proved the best medicine for a Bognor Regis group backed by the Health Lottery. Making Theatre Gaining Skills has been awarded nearly ÂŁ20,000 raised by HealthWish through the Health Lottery. The grant will help The Bognor Institute of Laughter project of Making Theatre Gaining Skills to create a series of activities centred on comedy training for people who are living with mental health issues and people with learning difficulties and disabilities in the town. It will pay for practical workshops, masterclasses and training courses to lead to public shows later this year.
side of the service. "It was such a good day and a great experience for us." The ceremony was held at the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst and the college's deputy head of learning for hospitality and catering, Diane Jackson, said both students should be proud of their achievements. "Both Millie and Grace are outstanding students, passionate about their subject and determined to do well. "To reach the finals, as a finalist and as a highly commended entrant, is a fantastic achievement and something they should both be very proud of. "They have a bright future ahead of them and I believe they will go far in their careers."
Resident and steering group member Sarah Fisher said: "This project offers a lifechanging boost in confidence because we are working as a team, learning all about comedy and moving steadily towards hosting public performances." As reported, since the two-year project began last December, members have been involved with workshops, pictured above, like cartoon drawing and comedy writing. Making Theatre Gaining Skills is a community interest company (CIC) based in Westloats Lane. HealthWish is a CIC seeking to remove health inequalities in East and West Sussex and the Brighton area.
AN EXTRA two roving gangs of pothole repair workers have started work across West Sussex this week. West Sussex County Council has taken on the teams to get more damaged road surfaces repaired. The county had already increased the number of gangs, pictured below, from 12 to 15 to tackle the problem caused by this year's frequent changes in temperature. This has enabled some 250 potholes a day to be repaired. A team dedicated to patching larger areas of road surface will also begin soon. The extra resources are being funded from the ÂŁ1,594,870 the county council received from the Department for Transport's pothole action fund this year. Cllr Bob Lanzer, county council cabinet member for highways and infrastructure, said: "We would like to re-assure residents that we take the issue of potholes very seriously - hence the extra resources. West Sussex highways, and particularly our contractor, Balfour Beatty Living Places, are working hard to tackle the issue. "In 2017, we repaired approximately 14,500 potholes. In the first four months of this year, which have included periods of severe weather, we have already repaired more than 8,500. "We have already started to deliver this year's resurfacing programme which will see three-and-a-half miles of principal roads and almost six miles of local roads have their old and worn surfaces replaced. "In addition, we are extending the life of 12-and-a-half miles of the principal roads and around 26 miles of local roads with a programme of surface dressing. "Surface dressing involves treating roads which are in relatively good condition with preventative maintenance treatments to maintain their good condition." Cllr Lanzer said good reasons could exist why the pothole repair teams were unable to repair another pothole nearby - a situation some residents had questioned. "They may have no spare materials on the van, having been tasked to fill other potholes, or it could be that the other road needs traffic management, such as traffic lights, so they can do the repair safely and this takes time to arrange," he said. The early months of this year have seen weather conditions change frequent between cold and mild and wet to increase the number of potholes.
GRANTS up to ÂŁ1,000 are available for groups around Bognor Regis that promote or support individuals' wellbeing or health. The Arun Wellbeing and Health Partnership small grants scheme is open for new applications. All voluntary, community and charity groups have to do to be in with a chance of receiving the money is to complete an easy one-stage application process. The next deadline for submissions is June 25. Applications will be considered by the appraisal panel during the second half of July. Cllr Mike Clayden is Arun District Council's cabinet member for community wellbeing, which covers the health and wellbeing service. He said: "These grants help to support the valuable work that community groups provide for our residents. "Promoting more active lifestyles and helping individuals to improve their social networks are key objectives to improving wellbeing and health in the district." To be eligible for funding, groups and organisations must show that their activities support at least one of the partnership's priorities - to promote physical activity and prevent social isolation. Groups who benefited from a grant last year included 4Sight Vision Support, Bognor Community Action Network and Frame of Mind. More details about the scheme from Claire Dower, the Arun wellbeing and information officer, on claire.dower@arun. gov.uk or phone 01903 737862.

The Chichester City Band go marching on By Portia Tremlett, Museum Assistant, Ross Wilson, University of Nottingham and Andrea Cifelli, City Band Member THE CHICHESTER City Band, formed in 1897 by Mr Robert Bottrill, who owned a coal business in Chichester and Bognor Regis, has been a prominent part of Chichester society and is today an award-winning band of around 30 amateur members. One of the earliest engagements we know the band took part in after its founding was to march Boer War reservists to Chichester railway station during 1900. After the outbreak of the First World War, the band were recruited to take part in military parades and to accompany troops marching to the station for service in France and Belgium. They were also recruited to raise both morale and support for those affected by the war. The City Band also took part in performances in aid of the Mayoress’s Work for Women Fund, a local Chichester charity that was started by Mayoress Garland to support women made unemployed by the altered economic conditions wrought by wartime. During Easter Monday, 1915, Priory Park
was taken over by a display of military sports to entertain the crowds. The 9th (Cyclist) Battalion of the Hants Regiment took part in a variety of events, including tug o’ war, football, egg and spoon races, flat races, relay races and the excitement of a ‘sack melee’. However, it was the City Band that kept spirits high when the inevitable deluge spoilt the bank holiday celebrations. It was also the City Band that accompanied Chichester’s special constables, who had been drafted into service with the departure of members of the police force, as they paraded in the city as part of their route march to Boxgrove. It was the City Band that again supported institutions such as the Graylingwell War Hospital with concerts held in the grounds for citizens and wounded soldiers to raise money for hospital funds. Throughout 1920, the City Band was involved in events to raise money for Chichester’s War Memorial, playing at football matches or dancing parties. The City Band also took part

in a series of winter concerts from 1920 until 1921 to ensure they had sufficient funds for their own purposes as wartime economies had not left a significant amount of money in their accounts. The City Band were present at the unveiling of the War Memorial in Eastgate Square on July 20, 1921. The memorial was presented to the city by Field Marshal Sir William Robertson and a huge crowd had gathered to witness the event. On July 3, 1929, a sports day and fete were held at Tangmere Airfield from 2pm – midnight. Air Force lorries came to the band room and transported the band to Tangmere. Unfortunately, while unloading, the young flugelhorn player tripped and fell onto his instrument, flattening it. The spare one was quickly sent for and the band played from 2pm-5pm and 6.15pm-7pm on the sports field, and in the evening in a larger hangar for dancing. The City Band also led the procession down South Street during the Silver Jubilee celebrations of King George V in 1935. During the 1990s, the City Band went from strength to strength, winning awards from competitions all over the country, and in 1995 they won an award of £15,000 from the Foundation for Sports & Arts, and just over £62,000 from the National Lottery to purchase new instruments. In 1998, musical director John Williams took the band to new heights of musical achievement. In April, 1999, for
the first time ever, the band performed at the Chichester Festival Theatre. The band were delighted to take part in the stage version of the hit film Brassed Off. Their performance was judged a great success. The City Band qualified for the finals of the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday, October 21, 2000, the first time in the band’s history they had qualified to play at this prestigious venue. They emerged as one of the top bands in their section in the country after finishing eighth in the National Brass Band Championships. John Williams’ service to Chichester City Band was recognised by Chichester City Council at a special ceremony at Chichester College of Arts, Science and Technology in February, 2001. John was presented with a civic award in recognition of the contribution he has made to the life of the city.

Marathon effort by Tone Zone team PostSport as 52 26-milers clocked up in April BOGNOR Tone Zone runners literally went the extra mile this April, clocking up 52 marathons by 47 of their members. By far the most popular event was the 26 mile race in where 31 runners from the Bognor Regis-based club took part. Running her first marathon was Kari Mack, who blasted to a new club female record time of 3 hours 20 minutes. Afterwards, she said: "What an amazing day. I have the biggest grin, sorest legs and weird blisters under my toe nails and wearing them all with pride! What an achievement by all the runners and the support was awesome!" Also making their marathon debuts were Michael Manwill, Nathan Bilham, Stan Mack, Adam Norgett, Karen Vilday and Alison Stead. Ian Bayley, Andy Miles, Christine Rounds and Gary Smith all ran personal bests. This was especially pleasing for Bayley who put a few ghosts to rest after two or three marathons where he struggled to get the time he wanted. Elsewhere, Duncan Stephenson-Gill flew to America to run in the Boston marathon, battling with freezing temperatures and driving rain to run a fantastic time of 3:28. Also flying the flag abroad was Chris Gallagher
how took part in the Madrid Marathon, he posted a time of 3:39 having to cope with the opposite weather from Boston. A further 11 runners pounded the streets for the London Marathon. Duncan Stephenson-Gill took his place on the start line after only having six days to recover from Boston and still ran a very creditable 3:47. Debbie Patching was running her first marathon since fracturing her hip two years ago. It wasn't easy but she battled on to record a personal best time of 5:23. Carole Mulry was also a first time marathoner and finished in 6:18. Paul Coe and Stuart Thomson had both run at Brighton but they were also in London. They both enjoyed the race with Thomson running five minutes slower with 5:19 but Coe excelled in London running 14 minutes faster with a 4:12 The April endurance prize goes to Jude Bazeley who competed at Brighton (5:34), then the off-road Bad Cow Frolic marathon near Corfe Castle, Dorset. On the very next day Bazeley set off again on the same course for an outstanding double clocking just six minutes slower than on day one with a 6:34 and 6:40.
DARTS: The Legends' Nathan Warren got off to a flying start in the Bognor Summer Darts league, throwing just 29 darts in side's 11-4 win over Newtown Amity. Here are the results in full:

NEWLY-PROMOTED Chichester will be looking to upset the odds when they continue their Division One National Young Athletes campaign at Horsham next week. The squad of nearly 40 athletes representing under-15 and under-13 levels made their bow at this level last month in Crawley. Even though the team came fifth out of six in the match, there were some very encouraging signs for the rest of the season. With more than half of the title-winning Division Two champions from 2017 having moved up into the higher age group, the squad had very much of a new look to it, especially in the U13s where all but three of the 15 athletes were newcomers to the team. The club’s team managers are confident that a mid-table placing is well within the capabilities of an improving group of young athletes. At Crawley, the best performances of the day came from the under-15 boys where
throwers Oliver Beach and Vinnie ConteSmith went through the whole day unbeaten as a pairing. Vinnie had just the better of things in the opening event, the hammer, while Oliver proceeded to take the initiative in both discus and shot with a 10.67m best in the shot the highlight of the day. In the under-15 girls, Millie Grant started with a win in the hammer while Fleur Hollyer set a new personal best in the 100 metres. Fleur also showed her versatility in both javelin and high jump, two events which are part of the heptathlon if she decides to go in that direction as an under-17. In the under-13s, Fionn O’Murchu led from the front with a third place in the 800 metres and a new PB of 7.86m in the shot. In the girls, six athletes showed a variety of talents to cover the 18 events in the programme, including primary school pupil Grace Bishop, who completed the 1200 metres, 150 metres and shot.

Chi City Ladies urged to enjoy a tough end to 'long hard season'
f A flying effort from a Middleton bowler
Hastings trip for Middleton MIDDLETON CC face a long trip to Hastings tomorrow as they look to bounce back from a disappointing start to the Sussex Premier season. Sean Heather's side suffered a heavy 164-run defeat to Roffey at home on the opening day of the season. Middleton now must try pick themselves up ahead of the trip to Hastings & St Leonards tomorrow (midday). Having picked up just six points from their first match, Heather's XI will want to make sure they do not lose too much ground on the teams above them. Things started badly against Roffey, a side that finished second in 2017. With big scores from Theo Rivers (65), Ben Manenti (60) and Jibran Khan (55), the visitors posted an imposing score of 281 for 7 in their 50 overs. In reply, Middleton never really got going. With only four players registering double figure scores, they were skittled out for 117 in just 31 overs. In Division Two, Chichester Priory Park made a good start to life in the league by chalking up a 47-run win over Lindfield. After being put into bat at
Goodwood, Joe De La Fuente top scored with 44 in Chi's total of 197-7 in 45 overs. Priory started quickly, with the ball with Matthew Geffen (3-41) and Jay Hartard (3-24) leading the attack. The visitors were eventually dismissed for 150, leading to a comfortable Chi win. Next up is a trip to Bexhill tomorrow (12.30pm). Fellow Division Two side Bognor did not start the season as well despite an excellent 74 from Joel Baker. After putting hosts Haywards Heath in to bat, the home side registered 248 all out with Tom Woolnough taking 4 for 40. But Bognor were unable to get near the target despite Baker's half-century, being bowled out for 183. Next up is a home match against Mayfield at the Regis Oval tomorrow (12.30pm). In Division Three West, Pagham will be looking to make it two wins from two as they host Roffey 2nds tomorrow (12.30pm). The Nyetimber Lane side beat Worthing by three wickets in their opener with Rico Webb putting in an excellent all round display. After taking 4-32, he scored 56 to guide Pagham home.
f Chi won their first match back in Division Two

CHICHESTER City Ladies assistant manager Aaron Smith is urging his side to enjoy the final two matches of the season after a 3-0 win against QPR sealed a top-eight finish in their first ever Premier League South campaign. City had QPR on the back foot from the first whistle and went ahead on the hour mark when Laura Ingram headed home Lauren Cheshire’s corner. Jess Lewry added a second with a wellstruck low driven shot and Alex Collighan curled in a third on the final whistle. Next up for seventh-place Chi is a home match with second-place C&K Basildon this Sunday (2pm) before rounding off the season against leaders Charlton on May 20. Smith said: “We have already exceeded our targets for the season. We want to win every game and we will go into the games to win them. But if I could pass on anything to the players, they have had a long hard season, now enjoy the final two games. "Playing teams like Charlton and C & K Basildon for us a few seasons ago was a dream. Now we are here having already beaten Basildon this year in the FA Cup, it shows what the progress we have made.”

Derby draw for Pagham and Chi
PAGHAM management duo Richie Hellen and Tom Simmonds have signed on for another year as the Lions look to go one better next season. Fans flocking to Nyetimber Lane have been treated to some excellent football this SCFL Premier campaign as the young side put together a promotion push. Despite falling off the pace in the final month, the Lions sealed a third placed finish with a 1-1 draw against neighbours Chichester City last weekend. The Callum Overton strike, which levelled the match after Jimmy Wild's opener for Chi,
also meant that Pagham scored 100 goals for the league campaign for only the second time in the club’s 115-year history. Even with just seven points separating them from promotion to the Isthmian South and losing heavily to Chi in the final of the RUR cup, the chairman said he was delighted with the season. Shea said: "We are over the moon with third place finish. It has been a very competitive league this season so to be third and to be in with a shout until right to the end has been superb. I've been really pleased with how
f Chi clear their lines in the 1-1 draw at Pagham
things have been going all season. "We have recently secured the services of the management team and we have started speaking to players so we are ready to push on for next season." Fellow SCFL Premier side Chichester City, meanwhile, had to settle for a sixth place finish in the division. Miles Rutherford's side were also in contention for a top two finish for much of the campaign. But four losses in their final seven games saw Chi slip down the table and left many at Oaklands thinking just what could have been. Fans can reflect fondly on a cup win and a record-breaking FA Vase run to the last 16. In SCFL Division Two, Sidlesham put themselves in a strong position to return to senior football at the second time of asking. Daren Pearce's side secured second spot in the competitive division after a 3-1 victory away at Bosham on Bank Holiday Monday, after goals from Jake Goulding, Thomas Atkinson and Harry Gregory. Combined with a 4-0 victory away at Upper Beeding on Saturday, Sids finished one point ahead of Jarvis Brook in third. With the Recreation Ground meeting step six requirements, it's now up to the Sussex FA to decide if Sidlesham will be promoted to SCFL Division One next season. Bosham had to settle for a fifth place finish but they did lift the Division Two Cup after a 1-0 win over champions Rustington.
Chi College teen wins national title CHICHESTER College student Aliya Seehawong has helped Pulborough Rugby Club to a national championship. The 17-year-old was part of the under 18 girls team who beat Newark 36-7 in the Under 18s National Final last weekend. Aliya, who is studying biomedical science at the college, has been playing rugby for three years. She became interested in playing after watching her brother compete. She said: “I feel very proud. We’ve been undefeated all season, we’ve got a really strong team so we were very happy to have won the championship.” Aliya also trains as part of the Chichester College Rugby Academy.
Since joining the academy, Aliya was selected to play in the AOC South East regional rugby team and recently competed in a Rugby 7s competition in Nottingham. Aliya said: “That was a really good experience. "we won four out of our seven games, playing against some big sides. “I started rugby three years ago, so I’ve come to the game later than some of the other girls but I’m really enjoying it. “I like being part of a team, all working together with the same goal. "The Pulborough team, the academy and the regional team. "Everyone is really friendly and we support each other."

f Bognor lost their last match of the season to Dartford in front of more than 1,000 fans at Nyewood Lane
Rocks face a nervous wait for the FA's step three shake-up BOGNOR REGIS Town FC face an anxious wait to see which league they will be playing in next season. Following this season's relegation from the National South, the Rocks will be re-allocated into step three of the Football League pyramid. But quite who they will be playing next season has yet to be decided. As part of a revamp of the level below the National League, the FA agreed in January to expand step three to four divisions. An announcement on the allocation will be made today (Friday) which will see Bognor placed in the Bostik Premier, alongside clubs from the south east; or the Southern League, which has sides from the south west. The decision by officials in Wembley could have a big impact on the Rocks' future, with manager Jack Pearce, pictured left, admitting some players may not re-sign because of the extra travelling. Speaking to the Post, Pearce said: "I'm just going to wait and see. We want to be in the Bostik as there's no doubt that the Southern could have an impact on us. "That will be a smaller league. It's not up in the Midlands as some seem to think as there's a new league in the Midlands but there will be a few games in the West Country. "If we do have a few games that way [the West Country], it could have an impact on the Brighton-based players."
Pearce made the comments as rebuilding work for next season begins. Retention letters to about 12 of last year's squad have been sent out. But Pearce does not expect any individuals to make a decision until there is more clarity on which league the Rocks will play in. Two players he hopes will stay on are right back Calvin Davies and midfielder Doug Tuck, who shared the player's player of the year award at the club's presentation evening. Pearce was full of praise for both. He said: "What's interesting is that one of the things levied against us this season was the lack of physicality, which I do not disagree with. So it is interesting that the two shortest players on the team got the top award. "Calvin has that wonderful attitude to the game and his body language is very infectious. "He tries really hard and wears his heart on his sleeve, which is a great thing. "It means that you find it hard to say he's had a bad game as even when his passing is not spot on or his defending is slipping, you can never take that attitude away from him." "As for Doug, when you look at how slight he is and you see these big players around him you think that he will get blown away. "But he always shows tremendous ball manipulation, in that ball manipulation he is by far the best in the league. His passing range is excellent."
Tuck and Davies share award ROCKS' fans old and new packed into Seasons for the annual presentation evening. Despite the team having a difficult season on the pitch, spirits were high at the annual event, which sees players, supporters and officials come together to celebrate the best of the campaign. The full awards were as follows: - Player's player of the year - Calvin Davies and Doug Tuck (joint) - Supporters' player of the year - Calvin Davies - Leading goal scorer - Ollie Pearce - Chairman’s Cup - Ryan Purvis - Most improved player - Tommy Block - Goal of the season - Jimmy Muitt - Sportsman of the year - Richard Essen - Special recognition award - Darin Killpartick Further awards were made to James Crane (400 matches), Ollie Pearce (200) and Harvey Whyte (200). Manager Jack Pearce said: "It was a good evening and the right people got the awards "I know some find it hard to believe when we have been relegated but the spirit among the players has been very good all season. "That gives great hope when you can keep a group together. It was excellent. You would never believe we were struggling."
f The Rocks squad at the player presentation evening
WELCOME back to what is my final column for the season. We rounded off the season with a 2-1 loss to Dartford. I thought the team performed well for Dabba in his last game as coach and our last game of the season. It’s been a disappointing season but I think I am more confident going into next year and I feel we will do better at the lower level. At times I thought we made the Vanarama National League South look upside down as we had decent chances to go in front early on. But Dartford took a two-goal lead and then Ollie Pearce’s penalty at the end was too late. Of course, everyone was keeping an eye on the Havant versus Concord game which was eventually won by the Hawks 3-2 thanks to a late goal by a certain Jason Prior. Havant have now secured promotion as champions for the second season in a row. Not bad! Fair play. I was glad to be able to go to the end of season players’ presentation evening. I was surprised by the big turnout. It was great to see players like Kristian Campbell there who had made a long trip to be present at the evening. I gave Ray Page a lift as we are both from Littlehampton and sat on the same table as Ken, Dave and Dennis who are diehard fans supporting the team home and away. My views on the awards given out are as follows: Appearance Awards – Ollie Pearce and Harvey Whyte notched their 200th appearances for the club. A fantastic achievement and true loyalty shown there. And James Crane also reached 400 appearances this season which proves to me how much big an asset he is to the team. Now for the next milestone lads! Goal of the Season – Jimmy Muitt (vs Leyton Orient) – What a goal that was! I think you could have argued that
Ollie’s goal against Bath City was a fantastic strike too, though Jimmy’s was built using the passing game we are renowned for and the strike was sublime, so overall I felt it was the right choice. Leading Goalscorer – Ollie Pearce – It was neck and neck with him and Ibra Sekajja all season but in the end Ollie notched the title with a late penalty against the Darts! Well done Ollie. Most Improved – Tommy Block – I fully agree with this, Tommy has proven at a young age that he can step it up even at Conference South level. I hope he stays next season. Sportsman Award – Richard Essen – Well deserved. I'm going to miss my friend in the press box. Richard does a lot for the club behind the scenes and if it wasn’t for work commitments he would still be able to run the tannoy. Alas it is not to be. Chairman’s Trophy – I didn’t know Ryan Purvis personally but I thought it was the correct decision. Gone but never forgotten. Supporter’s Club Player of the Year – Calvin Davies – I thought he was superb when on the pitch! It was a shame about the red cards, but you have to admire his passion to perform. He did just that this season. Calvin - well done! Player’s Player of the Year – Doug Tuck & Calvin Davies – Tucky has been great this year too. Sometimes I find his performances go unnoticed. The players couldn’t decide on this one so both won the award. I’d say Calvin cleaned up this year! I hope everyone enjoyed the evening as I did and I will be there next season whether we are in the Southern League or Bostik League. Personally I want us in the Bostik again due to more local derbies, but if we are in the Southern then it means new teams to visit! We shall see. Have a nice summer!
