No invitation for Highways

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk MEMBERS of the Build A Better A27 group were met with disappointment for their last meeting on Friday evening, when organisers admitted they had not invited Highways England due to an error.

Rooms in North Street, was the last of the community discussions before decisions by West Sussex County Council, Chichester District Council and Chichester’s MP, Gillian Keegan, would be put forward to form the proposal to Highways England next month.

However, members of the group were left disappointed after promises of attendance by Highways England, who

did not show up.

Facilitator, Ash Patel, said: “THroughout this process we have asked to have Highways England along and we were going to have Highways England along today." But there had been a mistake, he said.

"We actually had a meeting with them at the Members Working Group and they said we will come, we said we would like you to come.

"THe invitation didn’t go out. It’s nothing more than that and I apologise on behalf of the team.” He said.

Later in the meeting, Nick Burrell, senior advisor for democratic services at West Sussex County Council said: “It was our fault. It was entirely our fault.

We invited Highways England along to a members working group and I also invited them to this meeting.

Decision deadline fast approaching From page one "THey did have it in their calendar but it was a calendar clash if you like, in terms of their availability. It’s totally our fault.

"From what they have seen, they have seen the information you have provided and the notes and they have worked quite close with us in the process.”

In a statement, after the meeting Mr Burrell said: "We had sent them out a calendar invitation to the working group but had failed to do this for the Build A Better A27 (BABA27) meeting on May 18.

"At the meeting on May 15 it became apparent they didn’t have this in their diaries and could not attend at short notice due to a calendar clash."

At the meeting on Friday, the timeline presented to the group included: consultants SYSTRA, hired by the county council to provide their final report on May 24. West Sussex County Council cabinet member decision published on June 5.

Chichester District Council's full council meeting and governance process will be on June 8 and then West Sussex County Council's cabinet member decision will be made on June 15.

Mr Patel said: “We will ask you for a steer on what should happen next. THis is not a vote. We are not asking you to vote on the concept, but what we are asking you to do is to provide a steer to guide the elected representatives who will have to make a decision on how to deal with the concepts and how to put those forward to Highways England.”

Comments from the group included members agreeing that they had not received solid evidence in the room in order to take informed decisions.

Mr Patel said: “If you look at what Highways England have said, they are actually quite happy with the level of data that was provided.”

District councillor Carol Purnell said: “THe last meeting was appalling because there was no respect and there was a lot

of vitriol.”

Mr Jeremy Dry, from Chichester Deserves Better, said: “THat comment as obviously directed in my direction. I have a problem here because if you trust the politicians who are running this, and I didn’t feel that Louise was open, honest and transparent, you are asking us to trust our politicians but they have to show integrity and honesty and my point was that Louise (Goldsmith) and West Sussex County Council, including Bob, head of highways, and Louise’s chief executive had attended a meeting with a stakeholder and that was not declared to this room and I think it is unjust that happened and that is why I raised that issue.”

Cllr Goldsmith rounded off the meeting by saying: “Firstly, 15 months ago when we started this, several people said: “Are you mad? THat will never work.” I said, “Let’s give it a go.” And you have given it a go.

"Whatever you feel, whatever you think about me, you have come and given your evenings up, talked about it in your communities. You have thought about it and you have made your comments.

"I can’t thank all of you enough for that because I think West Sussex and Chichester is unique in what we have done.

"I think perhaps this may be one of the ways that we should have consultations in the future.

“Build a road, and you build contention.

You will always have one side and two sides but the A27 in Chichester polarises more than I have ever seen anything. We are still in the room.

"We are still talking. I gave you my commitment that there would be nothing off the table. I gave you my commitment that we would put money in it. I gave you commitment that we would get consultants and I think that SYSTRA have done an amazingly good job."

New programme for city school children

News 3

f Cllr Adrian Moss

Making city free of single-use plastic

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A NEW wellbeing and mental health educational programme is being launched in a Chichester school this term.

Great Ballard School in Eartham has launched its iSpace Wellbeing programme as a ‘pioneering school’ using the programme.

THe programme has been designed for children aged four to 11 which is delivered in PSHE lessons.

THe importance of children’s mental health and wellbeing is better known

now than ever and in recognition of ‘Mental Health Awareness Week’ the school wanted to share this wonderful new venture.

ISpace offers a child friendly approach to mental health and wellbeing by using characters and stories, teaching children how to ‘be calm and deal with their niggles and stressors’.

Statistics show that one in every ten children have a diagnosed mental health condition.

Nationally on average that is three in every classroom and those are just the children who have received a diagnosis.

Also, only one in five children get the help they need.

ISpace was designed to ensure that every child has access to mental health and wellbeing education and takes a proactive, not reactive, approach to prepare and teach children how to tackle any issues they may face.

Form 4 teacher and iSpace Lead Becky Grover said: “Pupils at Great Ballard are certainly enjoying the programme so far and are really getting into the stories.

"With mental health becoming less of a taboo it is important we teach our children how to deal with their emotions, be open and provide them with the necessary tools to tackle and overcome such issues.”

Gardens in Time

A DISTRICT councillor wants to see all single-use plastics in its premises phased out within the next two years.

Cllr Adrian Moss's proposal includes phasing out, within the next two years, the use of single-use plastic from council premises, supporting “Surfers Against Sewage” in its goal to have a plastic-free coastline, exploring how the council can involve local environmental groups, businesses, organisations and local residents to stop using single use plastics.

It's suggested a task group is set up, to oversee how these objectives can be achieved, and make appropriate recommendations to cabinet, including assessing what resources will be required.

THe proposal was met at the full council meeting on Tuesday with a lot of support including from newlyelected councillor Cllr Kate O'Kelly for Rogate ward, Cllr Jonathan Brown and Cllr Andrew Shaxson.

However, a counter motion was made by Cllr John Connor, cabinet member for environment services, which was passed with 26 votes to 13.

THis motion included that the council commits to continue its work

to remove single-use plastics from council premises and encourage plastic free initiatives, supported by appropriate campaigns across the district.

Cllr Connor said: "I am sure we were all appalled by the graphic scenes of the effects of plastic pollution in our oceans shown in the recent Blue Planet TV series.

"We will need to consider those objectives in the context of the council’s role, remit, and resources and consider how, and to what degree, the council can address the objectives."

Council leader Tony Dignum added: "I am seconding Cllr Connor’s motion because I want to deal with plastic, initially single-use plastic.

THis programme has already started.

Hence you will notice the repetition in John's motion of the word 'continue'.

"THe council has not been dormant awaiting Cllr Moss' initiative but has already taken steps that John has outlined to make Chichester District Council itself and the district as a whole single-use plastic-free."

A report will be prepared by task officers on the issues and presented at the October cabinet meeting.

Investment for city leisure park

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk AN award-winning holiday park has announced new plans for its 300-acre holiday complex.

Bunn Leisure, located on the stunning Selsey Peninsula, is midway through a £17m investment programme.

THe family-run holiday park company is continuing to reap the rewards of a buoyant domestic tourism market, reporting a five per cent increase in turnover from 2016 to 2017.

Split into three holiday villages and a touring park, Bunn Leisure has already built a £5m new head office and reception building and is due to open a £12m new state-of-the-art entertainment complex at the end of the year, which will include a Riviera-style swimming pool and changing village, fully covered multi sports zone, numerous restaurants and bars and an exclusive lounge, a full size 10-pin bowling alley and a new entertainment venue seating 1,250.

Managing director John Bunn has now announced plans for the holiday park’s exclusive mile of private beach, which will include a new fish and chip shop, a beach side café and a beach shop to be built next year.

Continued investment across the parks will also see an extended go-kart track, introduction of branded quick service restaurants, and further holiday homes sited on a new 92-base development on Claudia’s Field.

f Visitors enjoyed board games at the Novium Museum

Mr Bunn said: “With the continuing growth of domestic tourism and the rise of the staycation, we are busier than ever, and 2017 was a record-breaking year for us. We are investing in fantastic new facilities across all our parks clearly demonstrating our ongoing commitment as an innovative leader in the UK family holiday sector.

“THe money we are putting into these latest improvements takes the total reinvestment in the parks to over £40m since 2012."

Playing the game VISITORS attended an evening of games in the city on Friday.

THe Game On! Event was held as part of the national Museums at Night festival at the Novium Museum.

More than 50 guests attended, and engagement and feedback was resoundingly positive.

Demonstrators included Owen Lambert, director of local gaming haven Comic, Games & Coffee, Asmodee UK, the UK & Europe’s leading distributor of board and card games, and Southampton-based Emma May, of Emmerse Studios.

Visitors were encouraged to try a range

of games including Cobra Paw (a very popular game for the evening!), Quirk!, Bananagrams and Dobble, to name just a few.

Members of the Chichester Gaming Society became ‘living exhibits’ and played rounds of Pandemic and THe Settlers of Catan, with guests able to observe and learn the intricacies of the games.

THe next Game On! Will take place on Friday, June 15, from 7pm to 10pm, at THe Novium Museum. Booking is essential and tickets can be purchased online: thenovium.org/gameplan or by calling 01243 816525.

Baby animals call for help

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk

STAFF at an animal hospital are calling for extra volunteers to help with the increase in animals.

Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital, in Sidlesham, currently has a huge number of baby animals in its care.

Wildlife, including fox cubs, deer, ducklings, tawny owls, bunnies and robins, are currently residing in the facility until they are old enough to be released.

Manager Emma Pink said: "Some of the younger birds, including the robins we have, which are just two weeks old, require a lot of care and attention.

"THese baby robins need to be fed every five to ten minutes from dusk to dawn.

Once they can eat by themselves and are independent they will be released back in to the wild, but at the moment they need round the clock care."

THe hospital, which is also undergoing Paw (a veryan extension, is calling for volunteers ng!), Quirk!,so staff can carry out some of the more o name justcomplex tasks.

Emma, who lives on site with her husband and two daughters, has been at the hospital for 18 years.

She said: "It's always best to call ahead for advice from us if you find any animals.

"Sometimes, a baby bird will fall out of its nest, but its parents might still be around. Don't try and catch any animal unless you have advice first.

"THe little robins we have are really difficult to look after. We have to teach them things and make sure they are released with support, it's more than just making sure they can fly and off they go!"

Brent Lodge's Spring Fever open day is being held tomorrow, from 10am to 4pm.

Entry is by donation or tin of pet food.

` Midhurst solution ACTION is being taken to provide a long-term solution to a road issue at Rumbolds Hill in Midhurst.

THe full reconstruction of a deteriorating section of road, rather than temporary resurfacing, starts on June 10. THe work is likely to take about a fortnight.

THe section of road is narrow, so will have to be closed to traffic and pedestrians from the A272/ A286 roundabout to the south of June Lane. THis is essential for the safety of both road-users and the workforce.

A West Sussex Highways spokesperson said: “THis is a key junction, between the A272 and A286, and, unfortunately, the road will have to be closed, with signed diversions in place.

“We can only apologise for the inconvenience this will cause but we will do everything we can to get the work done as efficiently and safely as possible.”

Pedestrians will be asked to use West Street and adjacent roads.

Vehicles entering off the A3 will be diverted via the A286 and those coming from the Horsham direction will take the A272.

Vehicles from the Chichester direction will need to approach via Petworth.

Outbreak at high school

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk MORE than 15 confirmed cases of measles have been confirmed in children at Chichester High School.

Special vaccination clinics for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) are being setup by Public Health England (PHE) for pupils at the school and in surrounding schools.

PHE is urging those in the Chichester area to ensure everyone in their family has received two doses of MMR vaccine, and to be aware of signs and symptoms of measles, following these new confirmed cases of measles.

THe vaccine can be obtained free of charge at GP surgeries and in addition, as part of PHE’s response to the measles outbreak in Chichester, two MMR catchup clinics were also arranged this week for those school aged-children who have not previously been vaccinated or have only received one dose of MMR vaccine.

Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications.

Dr Sarah Lock, consultant in health protection with PHE South East, said: “While measles has, until now, been

A STUDENT from Chichester University has completed his creative module by constructing an outside learning space for a pupil referral unit within the city.

Stepehen Fytche, along with fellow students Alice Stanley, Bethany Rice, Ben Bloomfield and Josie Cooperthwaite, wanted to create something to give children at the behavioural unit at the PRU school in Chichester somewhere they could go to read quietly, grow their own vegetables for their cooking lessons and provide a stimulating learning area.

THe group of five didn't have a budget for the project and as a result had to call out to the local community to be as generous as they could.

Stephen said: "We set up a just giving page with a target of reaching £1,000.

"To further this, we also ran a blog to keep everybody updated with progress."

In November, they organised a fundraising quiz night and raffle at THe Four Chesnuts in Chichester in aid of the outdoor classroom project

DON'T MISS OUT! SOUTH’S PREMIER

and raised an incredible £780.

Stephen added: "We wanted to thank each and every person who came to the event and supported us through either playing the quiz or entering into the raffle.

Companies who donated raffle prizes included: Q Hairdressers, Flipout, the Brasserie Restaurant at the Chichester Festival THeatre.

Stephen said: "It's been very overwhelming to know that these companies were willing to support our project within one meeting of us and so kindly hand over the great prizes that they did.

"We honestly couldn't have raised such a great amount without the incredible prizes and support from the local businesses in Chichester, so thank you!"

Shaun Jarvis, headteacher at Chichester Alternative Provision College, said: “Wow, what a transformation! You and the rest of the team have done an amazing job. I know the staff and pupils will be very impressed when they see what you have done.”

"Also remain alert to the symptoms of measles, which can include coldlike symptoms, sore red eyes, a high temperature followed by a red-brown blotchy rash. If you experience these symptoms seek medical attention, but be sure to phone ahead before you visit your GP surgery so arrangements can be made to prevent others from being infected."

Yasmin Maskatiya , executive principal at Chichester High School, added: “We have been concerned about the cases of measles we have in school and we understand this can be a worrying time for our families, children and staff. We wish the children who have contracted measles a speedy recovery to good health.

“However, as we always find here at Chichester High School, we have had a fantastic response from our school, parents and local community."

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk ROYAL parties were held across the city on Saturday to celebrate the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

THe newly-elected Mayor of Chichester, Cllr Martyn Bell, attended a special royal wedding tea party at Wellington Grange.

THe nursing home in Broyle Road hosted the Mayor to cut a specially made wedding cake for the occasion.

Colten Care’s Wellington Grange welcomed families, friends and community visitors for the event with

new Cllr Bell attending to cut the wedding cake.

Emily Hudson, companionship team leader at the home, said there was special delight when residents learned the newlyweds would be called the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

She said: “It was a fantastic day with beautiful weather and everyone had a lovely time.

"THe residents and our guests were able to enjoy watching the wedding on a big screen in our lounge and cinema room where we toasted the bride and groom with prosecco and confetti.

“When he cut the wedding cake, the Mayor gave a brief speech announcing

f Staff at Bearded Bobs on Saturday

"We assure them of our very best wishes for the future and that they will have a special place in our hearts, here in Sussex."

Bearded Bob's Gelato and Coffee Emporium, in North Street, also got into the spirit of the royal wedding with staff dressing up the shop and themselves in red, white and blue.

PropertyNews

f Photo by Tony Tyler

` What's it worth?

A COUPLE of weeks ago I wrote how you should do your research before buying a property to ensure you aren’t overpaying for it. I had an email from a first-time landlord asking for some more information as to how to go about this.

Fundamentally, a good knowledge of the market is key. THis is achievable by scouring the property portals regularly or receiving email alerts about new stock, thus giving you an insight into what a particular property is really worth. THis is why estate agents are so good at valuing properties, as they have first-hand knowledge and daily experience of what is on the market, what properties are actually selling for and what else is available nearby that will be competing for the same potential buyers.

Publicly available data such as previous sold prices can help, too; Rightmove and Zoopla both handily give you this information, along with when the property was first listed.

Consider that estate agents work for, and are paid by, the seller; so a good one should be seeking to achieve the highest price the market will bear. Sometimes, though, other factors come into play that mean price isn’t the most important element for the seller - certainty and/or speed could be the priority in some circumstances.

Understanding the motivation as to why someone is selling can therefore be a good thing to find out, to gauge how much they’re looking to achieve for their property.

And remember that pricing is subjective and merely the ‘opinion’ of an agent or vendor. A case in point is an asking price with the pre-cursor ‘offers in excess of’ or ‘OIEO’.

So, what’s a property worth?

Well, ultimately it’s worth what someone’s willing to pay for it. THe best thing to do is to work out the criteria you are looking for, do your research to see if the property ticks the boxes and then stick to a realistic figure that you’re comfortable with.

Motorcyclist is riding high

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A MOTORCYCLIST from the city has his sights set on winning a Great Britain championship.

Andy Windsor, 34 from Westbourne, grew up in Chichester and has been riding motorcycles since the age of five.

He said: "We were extremely fortunate to have family in Yorkshire who had lots of toys and land for us to play with. It was there that I rode my very first motorbike.

"I have been competing since 2013.

I have always had a passion to race motorbikes, it has been a lifelong ambition of mine - especially racing at the Manx GP on the world-famous Isle of Man. "However, starting my own business at the age of 23 meant I had to put my all into making that work and it wasn't until five years ago that I got to a position where I could finally get out on track and start racing."

THis year, Andy is racing in the THundersport GB championship - in the Golden Era Supersport class.

After taking a year out of THundersport last year to race on the Isle of Man in the Manx Grand Prix, he has returned with one goal - to win the championship.

He said: "THe season has started strong, after having to miss the first race I had to start race two at the back of a 38 bike grid.

"I managed to battle my way all the way up to third which I then bettered in race three battling my way to first.

"I also won rider of the weekend.

THe following round at Oulton Park I qualified in pole position and then went on to successfully take first place in both races and also got lap record in class.

"After hopefully winning the championship this year, my goal is to compete in another Manx GP, and following that, the Isle of Man TT. "I couldn't have achieved anything without the help and support of my friend and sponsor, Martin Webb. He, along with his business parter, Roy Waller, have helped me out massively over the past few years."

THe championship finals will be held at Snetterton race circuit on the weekend of October 20 and 21.

Goodwood take extra steps GOODWOOD Racecourse is enhancing its existing security measures for all future fixtures, following an extensive review of the incident that took place on Saturday, May, 5.

Having conducted an internal review, the racecourse will be implementing additional measures to help prevent future incidents from occurring.

Sussex Police will now be present at every fixture throughout the season and all security response teams at the venue will wear high-visibility clothing.

THough drugs sniffer dogs have regularly been used at certain fixtures, they will now be in operation at every fixture. Random bag searches will continue to be in place at all entrances.

Alex Eade, general manager for Goodwood Racecourse, said: “We have

conducted a thorough and extensive review of everything that happened at our first fixture, of our existing policies and held a detailed consultation with our safety advisory group and Sussex Police.

“We have concluded that we will make our security teams more visible, we have changed some personnel and the composition of our rapid response teams as well as taking even stronger measures to discourage drug use and excessive alcohol consumption. Sussex Police have agreed to have a presence at each of our future fixtures and we continue to work with them on deploying other covert and overt methods of deterring anti-social behaviour and drug use. We are also still helping them with their enquiries following the incident on May 5.”

` College FA Cup A TEAM of Chichester College footballers had a taste of the magic of Wembley on Saturday.

THey were invited to the FA Cup Final as champions of the FA People’s Cup Female Futsal (college) competition.

Poppy’s Players were the first team to win this category at the FA People’s Cup, after beating AGFA 1 (from Newcastle-UnderLyme College) 8-0 in the final at St. George’s Park in April.

To celebrate, they were able to parade their trophy at half-time during the weekend’s cup final, in front of a crowd of more than 87,000 fans – as well as enjoy the game from Club Wembley.

Captain Poppy Shine, who is studying a diploma in coaching and delivery of physical education, spearheaded the team’s entry into the competition as part of her role at the college as a football activator.

She said: “It was an amazing experience – we got to Wembley early to soak in the atmosphere in the fan zones before going in to the stadium.

“We were in Club Wembley and we were really well looked after, before being taken down to the pitch just before half-time.

“It was a bit unreal, waiting in the tunnel with all the Chelsea and Manchester United players walking past us before we joined Alex Scott on the pitch for the presentations.

“THat was insane. We were at the FA Cup Final, on the pitch in front of all those people – a real oncein-a-lifetime opportunity that we were given through being here at Chichester College.”

Students' record donations set to help cancer patients LUNG cancer patients could be given the gift of life thanks to generous Felpham Community College students.

The college's sixth form charity committee has brought in the highest amount of donations in at least a decade from its latest charity week.

The £5,305 was split into £1,670 donations to three charities - Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and Chestnut Tree House children's hospice.

Jayne Bowater, voluntary chairman of Cancer Research UK's Relay for Life Portsmouth, told students at the presentation: "This £1,600 will pay for a clinical trial into lung cancer for two months.

"Lung cancer is one of the priorities for the charity and we are targeting radiotherapy treatment, which is about trying to prevent cancer from coming back after surgery.

"It's absolutely amazing you can fund that trial for two months."

Tracy Bowdery, a community fundraiser for Chestnut Tree House, and BHF Sussex fundraising manager Nicky Seevaraj also spoke about the effects the students' hard work would have on their respective causes.

Michelle Kelly, an assistant headteacher at the college, said: "This is the most charity week has raised for the past ten years. The charity committee worked really hard and the Year 7 students got very involved this year."

The donations were presented at a ceremony in the college last week.

The charity committee members included next year's joint chairmen Megan Balcombe and Harry Triggs.

Megan, 17, said: "It's staggering to hear that what we have been doing can make such a difference to saving someone's

life. It's very interesting to find out where that money is going."

Staging charity week, which involves all the college 1,000-plus students, took a lot of work, she said.

She said: "It needs a really close-knit group of students because you have to work hard together and you need a good

CHILD sexual exploitation, extremism and modern slavery are the subject of a new survey to tackle crime around Bognor Regis.

The questionnaire enables residents to share their experiences about crime and anti-social behaviour.

The featured crimes are national priorities and are considered as 'hidden crimes' as they are harder to see.

Cllr Debbie Kennard, the county council's cabinet member for safer, stronger communities, said: "People's experience, opinion and knowledge are invaluable when it comes to helping our teams combat criminal activity here in West Sussex." The survey is being run by the Safer West Sussex Partnership.

This brings together a number of agencies.

The survey closes on June 10.

chairman to keep things in check."

Harry, 16, said: "It's definitely worthwhile holding a charity week.

Raising that amount of money is amazing. It's a really good thing to help people's lives. We're looking forward to next year and we will be trying to raise even more money then."

RESIDENTS in the Post area have the chance next month to ask the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner about policing.

Katy Bourne will be meeting the Sussex Police and Crime Panel at 10.30am on June 29. The session will contain 45 minutes for public questions. It is recommended questions are sent in advance to allow fuller replies to be prepared.

Flying the flag during wedding celebrations THOUSANDS of people turned up to Hotham Park on Saturday to watch the royal wedding between Harry and Meghan Markle.

The event, hosted by Bognor Regis Town Council, was a huge success, with people travelling to Bognor Regis from across the county.

A big screen was erected next to the Hotham Park Cafe and visitors turned up with picnic blankets and deck chairs to witness the special occasion in glorious sunshine.

Among the guests was newly elected town mayor, Cllr Stephen Reynolds, and his partner, Kim Stone.

He said: "The weather has made people turn out for this wonderful occasion. It is a bit windy but there are very few clouds in the blue sky today.

"It is really good to see so many people out with bright colours in the sunshine.

"Our pet alpaca, Rupert, would have loved to have been here today but unfortunately he couldn’t make it today as he had prior engagements, mainly on guard watching the chickens."

Kim added: "It is wonderful to see so many people out here on a Saturday morning and everyone is very peaceful.

"I really like the traditional London bus as a fish and chip bus, it's very traditional."

Crowds joined in on the gospel singing on the big screen of popular song, "Stand

By Me" and everyone stood for the national anthem in the afternoon.

Claudine Butt and her husband, James, travelled from Hambrook to Hotham Park to watch the wedding with their two children, Orla, aged eight, and threeyear-old Erin.

Claudine said: "I wanted to come somewhere nice and open to watch the wedding with my family.

"I'm enjoying the wedding with some friends we have met here and it's been a lovely day.

"We have never been to Hotham Park before, we don't come to Bognor Regis much, but it's a lovely park with loads of things to do."

James said: "There is lots to do for children which is great. There is a real sense of community here."

An ice-cream van was parked next to the screen which proved highly popular and a circus tent kept children entertained.

Sound doesn't ruin big day HUSBAND and wife, Matt Tarrant and Claire, from North Bersted, were joined by friends, Sharon John, from Pagham, and Brenda Glendenning from Felpham.

Claire said: "We did the park run this morning wearing silly Union Jack hats and flags.

"Brenda was marshalling and put the Harry mask and a high vis jacket on a bollard!

"Matt and I cycled over here and saw lots of flags in people's windows and bunting out.

"We did the park run, had a lovely breakfast in the cafe and then got a good spot here to watch the wedding.

It's been a lovely atmosphere."

Sharon added: "The sound could have been a bit louder but it's still been amazing.

"It's great to have got the community together like this. It's really popular, everyone has been talking about it.

"We have had sunshine and blue sky to enjoy the day. Everyone here has been lovely and really got into the big day."

Kirsten Fitzpatrick, events officer for Bognor Regis Town Council, said: "The Rroyal wedding event in Hotham Park was very well attended, with over 2,000 people enjoying the sunshine and the spectacular occasion broadcast on the big screen. Lots of people bought picnics along with them, but for

` Annual fete fun HUNDREDS of people are expected to attend the latest fete by St Mary's Church in Slindon tomorrow.

The annual community event runs from 2pm-5pm in the grounds of Slindon College. One of the main attractions will be Froojamaflip and Fred - an eight foot tall stilted man handmade from individually stitched and painted fruit and vegetables.

Run by Curious Creations, his aim is to encourage healthy eating, buy locally and a better understanding of the natural environment.

Also entertaining the crowd, expected to number 900, will be the Chichester City Band, a classic car display of some 40 vehicles, an owl display and a fun dog show by Arun Veterinary Group.

` School reunion

"Bognor Regis-born Zaz the Clown was there with his incredible Circus Pazaz Big Top Tent offering free circus skills, and it was full all day with lots of smiley faces.

"Unfortunately, there were some

technical issues which did impair the sound of the broadcast and it didn’t reach across the park as intended.

However, subtitles were put on and the picture was crystal clear and visible from all sides of the park.

"Hopefully, this did not detract from the wonderful occasion as the atmosphere in the park was incredible."

Surgeon saves lives in hospital in Kenya f The winning bridge team with their trophy

Top bridge team win their division BRIDGE players from Bognor Regis have become champions.

A team from Bognor Bridge Club has won division three of the Sussex League, run by the Sussex County Contract Bridge Association.

The victorious team of John Austin, Paul Londesborough, Roger Bill and Ron Seymour won all their matches against teams from across the county.

Paul, the team's captain, said: "Bridge is a fascinating card game. Not only does it keep your mind sharp but

it is also a great social game.

"Being able to play bridge at The Bognor Club, a very friendly club and such lovely surroundings, contributed to our success."

The Bognor Bridge Club meets at the club, 2 Sudley Road, on Monday and Thursday evenings, as well as Tuesday and Friday afternoons.

Starting in September, John will be running a beginners bridge class on Wednesdays. The Bognor Club also has a snooker section.

A LEADING orthopaedic consultant surgeon from a Chichester hospital has returned from helping to save lives in an African country.

Simon Cavanagh, who specialises in upper limb and shoulder surgery, volunteered to perform operations at a hospital in Kenya.

He used his extensive skills to perform much-needed procedures in the area where Maua Missionary Hospital is located. He carried out a number of different surgeries. These included hand replantation procedures, thoracicabdominal surgery and Caesarian sections.

Workers at many local government hospitals were on strike at the time. This meant his skills were vital to residents who needed medical assistance.

Mr Cavanagh joined the humanitarian organisation, SIGN Fracture Care International, which provides orthopaedic care in developing countries. The surgeons who work with it develop the knowledge of those in the countries in which they work so they can provide effective orthopaedic surgery.

He said: "SIGN is a tremendous organisation to be a part of and I am so grateful I was able to represent the charity in Kenya.

"The equipment they kindly provided me with meant I was able to be of great assistance to those who were in desperate need of surgery.

"Due to the vast amount of gang violence and frequency of road traffic

accidents in Kenya, there is a huge demand for trauma and orthopaedic surgeons."

Mr Cavanagh plans to travel to Phnom Penh in Cambodia at the end of this year

to continue this work.

ON CHESIL BEACH, Ian McEwan’s powerful story of young love and societal issues, stars Saoirse Ronan and Billy Howle as Florence and Edward in 1960s Britain, nearly married and very much in love. THey are about to spend their first honeymoon night in a small hotel at Chesil Beach, Dorset. As they politely interact with one another before sitting down for a formal dinner, it soon transpires that all isn’t well in the young couple’s relationship.

THe film is a deeply moving story with intricate ramifications and a big secret at its heart, Ronan and Howle are both magnificent.

Tully continues the relationship theme. It’s about Marlo (Charlize THeron), a housewife who, when we first meet her, is heavily pregnant with her third child and who devours junk food and a reality show called Gigolos. But coping with a third child is beyond her. Enter nanny Tully (Mackenzie Davis) who Marlo comes to rely on. And there’s a twist. Some will guess it early on. Others ... won’t.

Tully’s children – and yours – would surely relish Peter Rabbit, a new adaptation of Beatrix Potter’s classic tale of a rebellious rabbit trying to sneak into a farmer’s vegetable garden, those

Health & Wellbeing

by Denise Kelly

No doubt that self-belief is vital to a person's success SELF-BELIEF is that positive feeling you have inside that you are capable of anything. You feel empowered, confident and fuelled with virility in the face of challenges and problems.

If you don’t have self-belief, and feel negatively about yourself you probably find that you let many things go by undone or opportunities seem to pass you by. Sound familiar? How many things have you let slip by because you lacked belief and doubted yourself?

Doubts such as: “Can I really do this? Other people are far better suited than me, so they probably should do it.” or “What will others think if I do or say this?” or“I really can’t… ” Or, “I don’t

deserve this.”

And you’re probably right. Because you’ll always and only get the job, or the life that you deep down believe you deserve.

But if you want more, you need to stop telling yourself that you can’t or don’t deserve it, or that someone else is better at it, or wishing you were like anyone else.

This Is What Happens If You Have Self-Belief It lets you cope with setbacks by seeing them for what they are: temporary and not the end of the world. If you believe you can reach your goals and ambitions then your mind operates with the highest possible amount of receptivity to detect opportunities. When you have clear goals you start to notice all the elements needed to reach them, simply because the clarity of your goals gives meaning to those elements as they reveal themselves to you.

Self-belief finds creative solutions.

When you approach a problem and feel anxious about it, your thinking becomes foggy and clogged, which makes finding good solutions less probable.

Self-belief makes you relax and think clearly. It stimulates reasoning, memory, and creativity; making it more likely you’ll find good solutions.

Self-belief stimulates action and persistence.

It’s hard to put in the consistent work needed to reach any worthwhile goal if you don’t have selfbelief. And when you fail, you confirm this lack of belief. But if you believe in yourself, you feel motivated to take action and sustain it over long periods of time. You’ll be able to see mistakes or setbacks as a part of the process and keep on going, which will reinforce your self-belief. If you ask someone for something and you believe they’ll give it to you, they will sense the conviction and be more inclined to respond to your request. If you lack belief, your request will be hesitant, which makes it more likely to be rejected.

How to Develop Self-Belief The ideal recipe for building self-belief is the combination of developing yourself, challenging yourself, and thinking about yourself in more constructive ways that represent who you are.

You were born with no sense of what you could or couldn’t do. Re-examine and discard many of the limiting ideas you have about your abilities, and find out why you have this disbelief in the first place.

Set bold but realistic goals.

Setting unrealistically high goals and not meeting them is detrimental to self-belief. If you demand too much, too fast, it will backfire. So set realistic smaller goals, with easy steps to achieve them. When you reach a goal, set a higher one. Gradually aim higher as you achieve them. And with each step forward, you’ll build more and more self-belief. Always research each step thoroughly for clarity to make sure it will get you there.

Acknowledge and celebrate your accomplishments.

Spend time thinking about your strengths and abilities (this also will help you improve your selfimage). Celebrate your wins with the things you love doing, go out for dinner, watch a good movie, meet up with friends.

Stop comparing yourself to others.

No matter how good you are at something, there will always be somebody better than you. And if you focus on this, it will sabotage your self-belief. And always comparing yourself to people who are worse than you will simply inflate your ego again. Stay away from comparing yourself to others; instead, focus on meeting your own goals and improving yourself.

Learn from those who have gone before.

Find mentors who have been where you desire to

go and learn from them. Make yourself vulnerable to do whatever it takes to learn — and accept it now and then when they criticize you. It’s all in the name of learning and growing, and becoming better and better every day.

If you know you have low self-belief, or self worth, and you suffer from anxiety and/or depression and would like to learn how to help this condition you may want to come along to a talk next Monday. I am joining two experts in this field in a three-hour talk from 6pm at Everyone Active, (formerly The Westgate Centre) in Chichester.

It will be a very informative evening around mental health issues. The aim is to provide you with the tools you can use to help you through challenging times.

It will teach important lessons about anxiety, stress and depression, how to grow your self-belief, how to strengthen your mind and body with the correct nutrition, and how to help combat and clear stress, and anxiety and emotional barriers, with our expert, Jemima Eames.

We have chosen to use a small room for this first talk (30 people maximum) as we want to keep it more intimate and low key this time. We are planning a larger event over two days, later in the summer, which could really help to change your life.

I have worked with Steve Neale (the owner of Steve Neale international) in many countries for 10 years now, and he is the best in his field. This is a very rare opportunity to hear him speak, and he is only in Chichester for a fleeting two days. This is one not to be missed.

Got One of These?

Lose Up to 40% of Your ‘Problem Area’ for Summer!

“Oh no!! How did I let this happen?”

We’ve had our first, wonderful burst of warm weather and I’m sure many of you - like me - are suddenly realising that the days of large, forgiving winter woolies are gone!

Now we face the looming stress of donning our summer wardrobe and revealing our ‘winterised’ bodies!

While diet and exercise have proven inadequate for ‘spot reduction’ of our problem areas, science has come to the rescue!

It all began in the most uncanny way: Harvard Medical University researchers noticed that children who ate lots of ice lollies had more dimples than other children.

They realised there might be a correlation!

And there is! After extensive (over 60!) clinical trials, it is proven that freezing kills fat cells! And, because fat cells freeze at a higher

temperature than other bodily tissues, no damage is done to the surrounding areas.

These multiple studies show that 85% of people treated with selective freezing lose between 20 - 40% of the fat cells in the treated area over a 12-week period. Add all that to the fact that it’s safe, completely noninvasive and works with your body’s natural processes, and you have a winning alternative to liposuction!

Almost 2 years ago, CryoSculpt UK opened in Chichester and is now based at The Beauty Rooms, Westgate. They tell me that most people will require 2 - 3 treatments in any given ‘problem’ area and because it can take up to 12 weeks for the full effects to show - now is the ideal time to get ready for summer! They are offering 50% off treatments for the entire month of June to encourage people to get started.

Cryogenic Fat Reduction (fat freezing) reduces stubborn fat by 20% - 40%!

Lost 1.5 Inches From Her Tummy In Just Two Treatments!

“I AM so excited by how effective they (cryosculpt treatments) have been - and how quickly.

I have lost an inch and a half on my tummy after only 2 treatments! I can't believe it, as my pooch has been the bane of my life since I had my children.

I just hated the way it looked in my clothes.

And even though I am my ideal weight and I eat healthily, it just always seemed to stick out! The difference is huge and my boyfriend and I are amazed - I actually have a FLAT STOMACH now!!

And that’s saying something at 50 years old!

Lifestyle 27

Don't discount keenly priced wines from M&S Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys martin.lury@me.com

POST wedding euphoria and this week, in the interests of parsimony, I looked for somewhere offering a generous current discount and was delighted to find that M&S are offering 25 per cent off the purchase of six bottles or more and all prices quoted reflect the offer.

For just six pounds expended, the 2016 Bourgogne Chardonnay proved to be a medium-bodied fruit - driven dry burgundy enriched by some subtle oaking - a very alluring wine which exceeded my expectations and, at this price, is a good introduction to white burgundies!

My next selection for circa £6.13 was a 2016 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi from the Marche region of Italy and exuded rich summer-fruit flavours with pear to the fore, had a floral lift, was slightly creamy and delectably refreshing - a good pair with fish pie and another good buy!

My last white wine choice was that of a 2016 Quadro Sei Single Estate Gavi which turned out to be unoaked, crispy fresh

and young with pear and green apple on the palate and of a good vintage and on offer for £7.50 - eminently quaffable!

In terms of reds, I found an unusual combination of an Argentinian Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Tupungato

Zorzal from young winemakers at the foot of the volcano Tupungato on offer at £7.38. This wine did not remotely disappoint and was dry and rich with a hint of tobacco, had a good nose and oozed wild berries with a touch of spice.

PostDinner

For my second red, I ventured to try a Portuguese wine in the form of a Quinto De Fafide Douro Reserva Tinto on offer for £8.20 - a country we must not overlook as a red wine producer.

This particular Douro is velvety smooth and the wine evolves on the palate with a touch of vanilla spice culminating in a strong aftertaste. My final red selection on offer for £10.90 was that of a 2012 Château Blaignan Cru Bourgeois Médoc.

This northern Médoc wine is dry, has

Method

INGREDIENTS • 200g raw, peeled tiger prawns from a sustainable source • 1 green Thai chilli, chopped • 3 garlic cloves, 1 crushed and 2 finely sliced • 1 bunch coriander, leaves and stalks separated • 1 tbsp caster sugar • juice 1 lime • 3 tbsp fish sauce • 2 tbsp groundnut oil • 3cm piece ginger, finely sliced, then shredded • 8 spring onions, finely sliced • 1 red pepper, thinly sliced • 85g water chestnuts, sliced • 100g beansprouts • 1 tbsp soy sauce • egg or rice noodles, to serve • lime wedges, to serve

oaky vanilla notes and a good balance of red and dark fruit on the palate with a hint of raspberry.

Soft with a silky texture with a good mouthfeel and a touch of leather, this wine just needs aerating for up to an hour for maximum enjoyment - at this price one to snap up!

In conclusion, I have to exhort you to sample the M&S range with the 25 per cent off as you can be assured of quality.

Quel weekend!

1. Put the prawns in a bowl.

Put the chilli, garlic, coriander stalks (snip these up using scissors first) and caster sugar in a spice grinder or small food processor and whizz together. Add half of the lime juice and the fish sauce, then pour this over the prawns.

2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok, add the ginger and spring onions and fry for 1 min.

Add the red pepper and fry for 1 min, until the pepper starts to soften.

Add the water chestnuts and bean sprouts, and toss together until the

bean sprouts start to wilt.

Add the soy sauce and a really good grind of black pepper, then tip the lot into a serving dish.

3. Heat the remaining oil in the wok and add the prawns, lifting them out of their juices. Toss for 1-2 mins until they turn pink, add the marinade and swirl the wok quickly, then tip the lot onto the veg. Snip over the coriander leaves and sprinkle on the remaining lime. Serves over noodles with extra lime for squeezing over.

INGREDIENTS For the pastry • 175g plain flour, plus extra for rolling • 85g cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces • 1 tbsp caster sugar • 2 egg yolks

For the filling • 100g caster sugar • 140g butter • 2 eggs, beaten • 140g ground almond • 50g plain flour • 3 peaches, sliced • peach preserve or apricot jam • crème fraîche, to serve

Peach & almond tart

Method 1. To make the pastry, rub together the flour and butter until it looks like fine breadcrumbs, then mix in the sugar. Add 1 egg yolk and 1 tsp water, followed by the next yolk and 1 tsp water until the dough just comes together. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 mins.

2. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface until big enough to line a 23cm tart tin. If the dough rips, simply patch it up. Cut away the excess pastry. Line with greaseproof paper, fill with baking beans, then bake for 10 mins. Remove

paper and beans. Prick quite a few holes in the base of your tart, then bake for another 10-15 mins until biscuity.

3. While the pastry cooks, make the filling. Whisk the sugar and butter together until you get a pale paste. Beat in the eggs and finally add the almonds and flour.

Spoon into pastry case, arrange the peach slices across the top in a pattern and bake for 30-40 mins until golden. When cool, brush your preserve or jam across the top. Serve with a little pot of crème fraîche on the side and eat it quick before anyone else gets their hands on it!

Community News & Views INSPIRATIONAL individuals, valued volunteers and terrific teams working in hospitals in Chichester, Worthing and Shoreham are being put forward for special recognition.

Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is inviting nominations for its annual staff recognition awards which recognise the best of its 10,000-strong workforce.

Members of the public, patients, supporters and trust colleagues can put forward a person they believe deserves to be considered for a Patient First STAR Award.

Trust chief executive Marianne Griffiths said: "Our Patient First STAR Awards are hugely uplifting for staff and volunteers and it truly is a very special accolade to be nominated for an award. Each year we receive more and more nominations from patients and relatives who wish to say thank you to a member of staff, volunteer or care team for going above and beyond.

"Such heartfelt nominations mean so much to those who receive them. So, I urge anyone who wishes to recognise the outstanding contribution of staff at Western Sussex Hospitals to make a difference and make a nomination before the midnight on June 3 closing date."

There are 11 categories from which to choose.

These include: Patient's Champion - for staff who embody and exceed the Patient First values of being kind, respectful, professional, friendly, compassionate and working well in a team; Extra Mile award - for staff showing an exemplary attitude to patient care, service delivery, going above and beyond, and respecting the diverse cultures of the trust's patients and/or colleagues; Volunteer of the year - for volunteers who have made a major difference to a patient, relative, colleague or team Nominations should be made at: westernsussexhospitals.nhs. uk/Awards

SOME £60,000 has been raised by cyclists who conquered the South Downs to help two hospices.

A total of 425 people cycled either 30km or 60km in the second annual Hit the Downs Mountain Bike (MTB) event in aid of St Barnabas House Hospice in Worthing and Chestnut Tree House - the children's hospice for Sussex and south east Hampshire.

With the sponsorship still coming in, the event is set to raise around £23,000 for St Barnabas and £36,000 for Chestnut Tree House Hospice.

This will cover five days of all care services provided by Chestnut Tree House and 14 days of day care at St Barnabas House.

Kev Mason, pictured above, was one of the cyclists who completed the 60km route to raise money for Chestnut Tree House. He has raised £705 so far in memory of his daughter, Poppy. He said the event had been tough.

"Chestnut Tree House supported my wife and I in July, 2017, when we lost our daughter.

"Our world imploded and Chestnut Tree House were there for us, they supported us. They helped us get our lives back on track," he said.

"The grief doesn't go away but we're in a better place. We're really grateful for the support we received and they've helped us a lot."

Among those helping Barnabas House was Nick Laudram, who rode with Steve Bosley, Kelvin Fry and Jon Funnell as the Buddington Bottom Bikers. Between them, they have raised more than £2,000 for St Barnabas House.

Nick said: "My father-in-law, Ray Oakley, was looked after a few years ago (by St Barnabas House). The care he received was amazing. We've all got connections to the hospice over many years and it's a great thing to raise money for. You realise, all this money that's raised, they neeed every penny."

THE internationally renowned landscape photographer, Charlie Waite, passed on some tips at the biggest ever meeting of Middleton Camera Club.

The idea for the special visit to the club arose after Charlie saw its pop-up exhibitions in empty shops in the town.

A club spokesman said: "From there, it grew into the largest ever event held by the club.

"With 150 guests to accommodate, we were thrilled when Father William Marston offered the use of St Nicholas Church in Middleton, which provided the perfect venue.

"Thanks to our guests, our sponsors, the trade stands

MORE than £1,000 has been raised for St Wilfrid’s Hospice by a man from Chichester.

Jamie Robertson took part in the Moonlight Walk earlier this month to raise funds after he lost his mother to cancer just a few weeks before.

Donations, which have been flooding in to Jamie's Everyday Hero web page, have now reached £1,265.49.

Jamie completed the ten mile walk with his girlfriend Zoe Smith, pictured above.

He said: "The nurses who work at the hospice made a huge impact on myself, my

and the companies that gifted wonderful raffle and auction items, we raised more than £2,000 for the Disabled Photographers' Society - double our expectations."

Charlie Waite, left, is pictured above with the chairman of the Disabled Photographers' Society, Tom Molloy.

The refreshments for the charity evening were provided by Tesco, Morrisons, Costa Coffee, Caffe Nero and McDonalds.

More information about the camera club can be seen at middletoncameraclub. weebly.com or by visiting its stand at the Middleton Summer Fair in July.

father and my brother when my mum passed away.

"We had several (very needed) refreshment stops along the way, it took us just under four hours to complete.

"The camaraderie throughout the walk was wonderful and the volunteers along the route kept us going, especially when the temperature dropped around 1:30am!

"I'd happily do it again, but with hindsight, maybe actually take part in the warm- up before the start."

DEMENTIA researchers have called for more residents in the Post area to volunteer for studies into the condition.

A great deal of research into the devastating condition is underway across south-east England, but efforts to discover new treatments can be hindered if researchers cannot find people willing to take part.

Dr Naji Tabet, the National Institute of Health Research's (NIHR) clinical research network Kent, Surrey and Sussex dementia specialty lead, said: "I recognise the only way to advance the treatment for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias is through the laborious work of clinical trials and through the kind volunteering of patients to take part in such trials. Research studies give hope to patients and carers by giving them opportunities to help themselves and help future patients, although we need to encourage more patients with dementia to sign up."

Dr Ramin Nilforooshan is a consultant psychiatrist for older adults and a dementia lead for the NIHR. He said: "Every patient should be given the right to participate in research if they would like a new treatment.

"I look forward to ten years' time when I can see the new advances in dementia care which are in place due to results we are hoping to have from current trials."

More than 2,500 people from Kent, Surrey and Sussex have volunteered to help to improve the lives of people with dementia and their families.

To encourage more people to join them, a national service called Join Dementia Research was launched in 2015 for people with and without the condition. Sign up at: joindementiaresearch. nihr.ac.uk

HUNTER PARTON is my son and Don Parton is my dad. Don is 94 and lives in King George Gardens in Chichester with my mum, who is 90.

Hunter, aged ten, from north Devon, would like to say a big thank-you to the people of Chichester, after they helped his grandad post a card to him celebrating his school report.

Hunter, who lives with me in Bideford, was chuffed to receive a glowing annual report from his teacher, proving he's come a long way since finishing treatment for leukaemia 18 months ago. During nearly four years of chemotherapy for cancer, Hunter missed a lot of school and worked hard to catch up.

His grandad, Don Parton, who is 94, and lives in King George Gardens, decided to send Hunter a card to say well done but at 94 this was more of an ordeal than he'd anticipated. Thanks to some kind strangers along the way, however, he completed the challenge.

First, Don caught the Sammy bus into Chichester - a service he and his 90 year old wife are thankful for daily - and hobbled into Marks and Spencer to find a card. Suffering from poor eyesight, he asked a woman browsing the cards to find one for him which she did. Next, he struggled down to the post office but found he couldn't see to actually write inside it. He called on the help of another kind stranger, who wrote his message for him and addressed it.

Don set off for the bank and withdrew a crisp £20 note which he popped inside. His final task was to post the card. But again, his eyesight defeated him. A passer-by came to his aid one last time, crossing the busy road for him and waving the card before popping it in a letter box.

The card arrived safe and sound much to Hunter's delight, thanks to the effort of the good people in Chichester!

Yours with kind wishes, Jilly Parton

A stone's throw away at Wittering's beach

By Pat Saunders, Volunteer at the Novium Museum SITUATED along the coast of the Manhood Peninsular, the Witterings, also known as Westrings, are settlements that have probably been inhabited for as long as Selsey, which has evidence of inhabitants dating back to the Stone Age. East Wittering is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being in the Somerley (or Sidlesham) area. It was held by the Bishop of Chichester. It had 14 hides (a measure of land between 60 and 120 acres), and land for eight ploughs. THere were 15 villeins with 12 bordars (both groups were peasants tied to the manor but villeins held a higher social/ economic status to bordars) who owned five ploughs.

THe 12th century church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was at East Wittering, which, in the 1950s, was replaced by the modern church of St Anne. THere is a memorial at the junction of B2179 and Cakeham Road to commemorate that East Wittering is one of only 43 parishes to be a ‘THankful Village’, since no men from here were lost during the First World War. In May, 1944, during the Second World War, the beaches were used for practice runs for the D-Day landings (codenamed Operation Falius). Several divisions took part in the rehearsals, including the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and the Royal Berkshire

Regiment.

THe shingle beaches at East Wittering are very popular with families in summer. THe area is also popular with surfers as there is a lack of obvious dangers such as rips or obstacles. It is also home to one of the UK’s longest-running surf clubs.

THe Domeday book states that West Wittering was held by Ralph of Bignor, with the tenant being Earl Roger of Shrewsbury.

THere were two freemen who held it as two manors. It was assessed as one hide with land for one plough. At West Wittering is Cakeham Manor, which dates back to the Middle Ages and was used as a summer residence by several of the Bishops of Chichester including Robert Sherbourne. It is believed two of the miracles attributed to Bishop Richard Wych occurred here.

THe village also has Ella Nore Lane (the name derives from Anglo-Saxon for landing place) which was believed to be the landing place of King Aella, King of the South Saxons, when he arrived in England. THis was the last pagan outpost in England in AD 683, the rest of the populace having been won over to Christianity with the arrival of exiled Bishop of York (Wilfrid). THe East Head approached from this lane is an uncommon area on the south coast, its shape and position changes

It is believed that after St Richards’s tomb in Chichester Cathedral was destroyed in 1538 at the order of Thomas Cromwell, bones and relics were taken in an attempt to protect them. It is believed that one such bone found its way to this local parish church.

over time due to the effects of sea and wind.

West Wittering is quiet and secluded, making it attractive for celebrities of stage and screen, both today and in the past. One notable former resident is Sir Henry Royce, who lived at Elstead House from 1917 until his death in 1933. Along with Charles Rolls, they formed the motor car company named after them in 1906. THere is now a factory near Goodwood.

THere is a longstanding legend the church of St Peter and St Paul in West Wittering holds a relic of St Richard. It is believed that after St Richards’s tomb in Chichester Cathedral was destroyed in 1538, at the order of THomas Cromwell, bones and relics were taken in an attempt to protect them. It is believed that one such bone found its way to this local parish church.

West Wittering had its own non-conformist chapel that had been in use for over two centuries until its closure in 2003.

In May, 2013, the remains of a 200-yearold skeleton were found in the sand at West wittering by seven-year old Sawyer ClarkeSmith. THese remains were likely those of a French male prisoner or a soldier involved in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Prisoners were kept in hulks (old warships) moored around the coast, any that died were buried with little ceremony in the mud. THe skeleton was later laid to rest in the churchyard of St Peter and St Paul.

Today. West Wittering offers lovely views of Chichester Harbour and the South Downs beyond and is a popular destination for a family day out. THe area is recognised for its wildlife, birds and natural beauty.

Sport 37

Busy week of racing ahead with PostSport meets at Fontwell and Goodwood HORSE racing fans are in for a bumper bank holiday weekend as competition comes to Goodwood and Fontwell.

Thousands of people are expected to flock to both local tracks as they host meetings which are sure to attract plenty of interest.

Today and tomorrow are the second and third days of Goodwood's annual Festival of Food and Racing (first race 2pm) featuring a range of top chefs and producers displaying their wares against the backdrop of some topnotch racing.

Then, on Sunday, Fontwell hosts its annual Big Bank Holiday Family Fun Day (first race 2.10pm) with a fairground, inflatables, face painting and pony rides all on offer.

Both fixtures will be under scrutiny after a brawl involving 50 people was caught on camera at Goodwood earlier this month. This has since sparked a national debate about the amount of alcohol and level of security at race tracks.

To combat any potential issues, Goodwood officials have confirmed there will be a police presence at every fixture for the rest of the season. In addition, security teams will be better identified in high-visibility clothing

and sniffer dogs will be deployed to combat drug use.

Speaking this week, Alex Eade, the general manager for Goodwood, said: "We have conducted a thorough and extensive review of everything that happened at our first fixture, of our existing policies, and held a detailed consultation with our safety advisory group and Sussex Police.

"We have also been working with the Racecourse Association and our other large independent racecourse colleagues to ensure we are part of the industry-wide crackdown on anti-social behaviour."

Fontwell's meeting is the first since May 17 when 55 runners went to post in a seven-race Hunter Chase card.

Among the winners were 12-year-oold Kimora, who won the opener to make it a hat-trick of victories in the race following successes in 2015 and 2016. Rose Loxton’s prospect, Monsieur Gibraltar, who was given a super confident ride from Lorcan Williams, to ease to victory in the fourth.

William Biddick rode home Wonderful Charm for Paul Nicholls to take the feature race by a length and a half.

DARTS: Dave Bourne threw just 30 darts in the standout performance of week five of the Bognor Summer Darts League.

But it was not enough to prevent his Aldwick Legion side from slumping to an 11-7 loss to BRSA Ravens.

Here are the rest of the results in full: DIVISION ONE - Newtown Amity 7 Lords Legends 10; The Legends 7 Hunston Hares 9; Claremont 9 Friary 'D' 7; Friary 'Z' - bye.

Second spot sealed

by Flyer Kalnicenko

f Dragonflyer Sofija Kalnicenko

TRAMPOLINIST Sofija Kalnicenko showed she can compete with the best in the UK as she took away a silver medal at a national competition.

The member of the Bognor-based Dragonflyers club performed three sensational routines with extreme height, precision, elegance and power to take second place at the Trampoline and Tumbling Spring Series 1 event at the International Centre in Telford.

The Chichester Free School pupil showed she was able to compete against performers from the UK's top clubs in the 13/14 yrs category.

The Dragonflyers trampolinist finished second in both compulsory routines and first in the voluntary with her high difficulty of 8.2 - scoring in excess of 90 marks for two routines and a fraction short of 131 over three.

It meant she finished just 0.6 marks behind the eventual winner, Emma Wilson, from the

Chorley-based Springfield Park Bouncers.

Kalnicenko has had an incredible start to the season having taken bronze at league one the previous week.

The week before that, she took ninth place at English qualifiers. During that time she has increased her score over the same routines by five whole marks, which coaches say is a 'massive gain in just two weeks'.

Coach Linda O'Leary described the improvement as 'sensational'.

Dragonflyers, who train most evenings at Bognor's The Regis School, compete at national competitions, league fixtures, plus English qualifiers and have proven themselves a challenge to any UK club.

This is despite having a small number of members, training a fraction of the hours with limited facilities.

O'Leary said: "The club are fortunate to have the support of The Regis School and financial help from Cars of Littlehampton, helping flyers go from strength to strength."

BOWLS: Bognor men are through to the next round of the National Top Club competition after beating Arundel. They won four of the five disciplines and play Tarring Priory in the next round.

Gerry Stevens won the two wood singles 17-9, while Bob Daley won for four wood singles 21-11.

In the doubles, Mike Philpott and John Whitfield lost 17-22 but Keith Taylor, Len Hall and Trevor Moore won the triples 21-12 while Mick Conolly, Richard Robinson, Nick Hatfield, Ron Gardner came out on top in the fours 16-9.

Elsewhere, in their first West Sussex league game, Bognor A played Chichester A. They won on two rinks and lost on two rinks and lost overall by eight shots, scoring four league points.

Meanwhile, Bognor-based RAFA bowls club has started their bowls season with mixed results.

They picked up four points after beating Storrington Bowls Club 3230 away in the first game of the BML Division 1 League.

However, they lost matches against Maltravers, Middleton and Crablands in recent weeks.

Bognor and RAFA faced off against each other in a mixed friendly last week which saw Bognor win on three rinks.

In West Sussex Bowls Division One tomorrow, Bognor A travel to Worthing, while in Division Three Middleton host Petworth.

On Sunday, Division Two side Bognor B welcome Pulborough to Waterloo Square. All matches start at 2pm.

Middleton break their duck as skipper Heather leads the way

f City finished eighth in the league

Wright excited for next year CHICHESTER City Ladies boss Matt Wright says he is excited for next season despite his side ending the campaign with a 4-1 loss to champions Charlton Athletic.

In their first season in the third tier of women's football, the Green and Whites have proved to be more than a match for more seasoned opponents.

After collecting 28 points, City finished eighth in the 12 team FA Women's Premier League South, which easily guarantees their status at that level.

After a season where a number of young players were given first team experience, Wright said the club would be a lot stronger for the next campaign.

The City manager said: "We're over the moon and what we've achieved is more than we were expecting.

"The girls have been outstanding, the backroom staff too. Everyone has been outstanding and I can't doubt their commitment."

Chi's defeat at Charlton rounded off a busy end of the season, which saw them win just one of five matches.

With a number of first

team players missing out through injury, Wright said it highlighted a lack of squad depth.

But he was delighted with the impact of development squad players, such as 17-year-old Alice Walford, who played all 90 minutes of the loss to the champions.

Wright said: "This season has gone on and on and on - to be playing May 20 is absurd.

"We have pre-season starting in four weeks and it is not setting us up well for next year.

But, to their credit, the girls have been fantastic."

Despite the 4-1 loss at the Addicks, a depleted City had their chances, hitting the bar three times in the first half.

Natasha Stephens eventually grabbed a consolation for Chi. Speaking after the match, Wright said: "Charlton are a quality side, definitely the best we faced in this division.

"Looking at what we have to come next year it's exciting.

"We're not at full strength and have struggled to get people fit, yet we are still giving Charlton a game.

"There are a lot of teams who have not given Charlton a game this season and we did today for long periods."

MIDDLETON CC head to Brighton & Hove tomorrow (12pm) in the Sussex Premier Division looking to follow up an excellent 70-run win over reigning champions East Grinstead.

Skipper Sean Heather led the way in sealing the club's first win of the season, taking four for 26 as the visitors were all out for just 125.

Middleton now travel to second-place Brighton & Hove, looking to chalk up back-toback wins in what is shaping up to be a very competitive division.

Things did not start too well for Heather's side at Sea Lane last weekend. They chose to bat against an EG attack featuring former Sussex players Lewis Hatchett and Fynn Hudson-Prentice. After a strong opening spell, Middleton were reduced to 55-4 as their early-season troubles with the bat continued.

But overseas player Mahesh Rawat showed his worth, producing a thrilling counter-attack to hit 63 from just 57 balls. His debut halfcentury for the club along with a contribution from Craig Fowle (28*) helped Middleton post 195 all out. In reply, Heather led the charge, with Fowle (2 for 17) and Nick Smith (2 for 6) chipping in as EG managed just 125.

Bognor take the derby spoils

CHICHESTER Priory Park will be looking to bounce back to winning ways after being stunned by local rivals Bognor Regis.

The visitors returned to the coast from Goodwood with all 30 points after producing the perfect away performance in the Sussex Division Two match-up.

After bowling out Jay Hartard's side for just 162, Bognor knocked off the runs within 30 overs to chalk up a convincing six-wicket win.

Priory, who drop from top to seventh in the ten-team league, now head to leaders Mayfield tomorrow (12.30pm) looking to get

their season back on track.

Bognor, meanwhile, who are buoyed after their first victory of the season, will welcome Ansty to The Regis Oval (12.30pm).

After winning the toss and putting Chi into bat, the visitors wasted no time in getting to business.

Led by West Indian import Marquino Mindley (4 for 15), the Regis attack swiftly reduced Priory to 31-5.

It was left to Hartard (70) and Magnus Kristensen (30) to rebuild as the pair put on 88 for the sixth wicket.

f Chi skipper Jay Hartard smashed 70

But no-one else was able to reach double figures as the Bognor tail mopped up the tail to reduce the home side to a score of 162 all out.

In reply, Chi struggled to peg the visitors scoring as Charlie Laforet (41) and a hardhitting half-century from Bognor skipper Ryan Maskell (79* from 54 balls) saw them home with plenty to spare.

In Division Three West, Pagham are looking for their first win in three matches when they welcome Findon to Nyetimber Lane tomorrow (12.30pm).

Stuart Hanks' side suffered last time out as they were heavily defeated by 97 runs at West Chiltington & Thakeham.

The only thing Pagham got right on the day was winning the toss. But, once the home side were put into bat, they quickly took charge.

Peter Cotterill (3 for 24) and Sean Rutter (5 for 32) did perform well for Hanks' side.

But any hope of keeping West Chilt under 200 were dashed by an 89 sixth-wicket partnership by Tim Van Noort (69) and Richard Harrison (64).

The home side were eventually dismissed for 232 in 44.2 overs.

In reply, Pagham never really got going and were reduced to 73-7 as West Chilt's attack found movement off the pitch.

A late charge from Pagham's tail - with Alex Mackay at number 10 hitting 26 to be their top scorer - eventually lifted them to 135 all out.

Golden weekend for Chichester athletes CHICHESTER Runners returned from the Sussex County Track and Field Championships with a clutch of medals and a host of personal best performances.

Several of Chichester’s athletes were in action on both days at Crawley, making the most of the opportunity to compete against the best athletes in the county.

Among the standout performers was Oliver Beach, who tackled four events in the U15 age group. He set a new personal best of 40.43 seconds to gain a silver medal in the 300 metres. He then gained another silver in the shot with a 10.47 metres effort before striking gold in the discus with a throw of 32.82m, just 17 centimetres ahead of his nearest rival.

In the middle distances, Liam Dunne was

third in the 800m. He was then edged out in the 1500m, despite knocking more than 10 seconds off his best from 2017 with a time of 4 minutes 48 seconds.

Chichester’s middle distance U20 pairing of Leo Stallard and Ben Morton also had a good club battle in the 5000m, finishing first and second respectively. Their impressive times of 16 mins 16 and 16 mins 17 push them into the UK top 20 at this stage of the season.

For the girls, Sophie Dudman (U15) was unlucky to be denied a medal in the 75m hurdles, being awarded the same time as the bronze medallist at 12.50 secs.

Olivia Toms was another who was just edged out with a fourth place in the 1500m with a good time of 5.01.98.

f Portsmouth will return to Nyewood Lane this summer for the traditional pre-season friendly

Portsmouth and Albion lined up for Bognor's pre-season BOGNOR'S pre-season plans are already shaping up with Premier League stars of the future among those set to visit Nyewood Lane.

Jack Pearce is very much in rebuilding mode after the Rocks suffered relegation from the National South last season.

With a year in the Isthmian Premier League to come, big question marks remain over who will be on the pitch and in the dugout for Bognor.

But one thing that is certain is that Brighton & Hove Albion under-23s, who are set to play next year against the best young teams in the land, will visit on July 17 (7.45pm kick off ).

The following week, on July 24, League One side Portsmouth are the visitors.

Both high-profile matches are set to bring bumper crowds, giving Pearce an extra cash boost as he looks to pull together a team for next season.

Rocks fans had some good news this week with the announcement that young defender Corey Heath has agreed terms for next season.

He joins Calvin Davies, Keaton Wood, Chad Field, Harvey Whyte and Tommy Scutt as one of six players to have re-signed for next season.

Heath, 22, endured a frustrating season after joining from Worthing last summer because of a persistent ankle injury.

But he said he was eager to resume training on July 22 to be in tip-top shape for the big

kick-off in August.

Heath, pictured left, said: “Re-committing to Bognor was an easy decision for me, even though I had an offer to go elsewhere. I want to play for the club, it’s as simple as that.

"And I want to play for our fantastic fans and give it a good go next season.

"There has been a lot said about relegation, and a lot of criticism for Jack. But players have a huge responsibility, too.

"Players come and go at every club and this one is no different. I’ve been pleased with who we’ve signed already and come pre-season training I’m confident we will have a good squad, and certainly one who can flourish in the division."

Pearce, who managed the side last season, said he had been speaking to a further four or five players this week.

The Post understands these include last year's fans' player of the season, Doug Tuck, and young player of the season, Tommy Block.

Pearce also revealed that Portsmouth coach and former Leeds striker Robbie Blake would replace Darin Killpartrick as first team coach.

He said: "We look forward to working alongside Robbie, who has gained valuable knowledge in a very respectable playing career and, of course, at Pompey as a coach.

"It's always exciting to bring on board people who we believe can bring fresh ideas and new energy, and Robbie certainly fits the bill."

'Isthmian is where we belong' AFTER gaining promotion to National South 12 months ago, Rocks boss Jack Pearce never wanted a return to the Isthmian Premier League. But, when relegation came and the prospect of an FA restructure was on the horizon, the veteran manager was happy to regain a place among familiar foes.

Dropping back down the non-league ladder is always full of uncertainty, because of leagues being organised geographically.

But the FA's shake-up of step three and the creation of a new Midlands League meant that there was some concern the Rocks could be in the Southern League - facing a number of trips down to the West Country.

Instead, those fears have been put to one side as the Rocks' place in Isthmian, which covers the south east, was confirmed.

Pearce said: "We have always considered ourselves to be an Isthmian club - that's the league we wish to play in and it is our preferred choice, so we're pleased to return.

"If we had been put into the Southern, then that reduces our chances of trying to attract players from the Brighton area.

"We're also looking forward to local derbies with Worthing, Whitehawk, Lewes and Burgess Hill - that's four great local derbies."

IT'S NEARLY a month since the season ended in disappointment for the Rocks.

With next year seeing Bognor return to the Isthmian Premier, preparations are well underway on and off the pitch to make sure the club has every possible chance of a return to National South.

Here's the Post's guide to what's happening at Nyewood Lane over the summer months.

Who's on board for next year?

Bognor, like every nonleague club, will experience a change over at the end of the season. As soon as the season ends, club officials begin a frantic few weeks of agreeing terms with those players then want to retain.

Six players have already agreed terms for next season - Calvin Davies, Keaton Wood, Chad Field, Harvey Whyte, Tommy Scutt and Corey Heath. Talks with a number of other members of last year's squad are ongoing. Rocks fans should expect a number of new faces too!

Who's not returning?

Only two players have confirmed they will not be returning to the Nye Camp next season - but they are influential players who will be hard to replace. Skipper Sami El-Abd wants to be playing nearer his home north of Brighton while long-serving left back James Crane has joined Worthing saying he needs a new challenge.

What's happening with the manager / first team coach?

Last season club stalwart Jack Pearce reluctantly picked up the managerial reigns again at Nyewood Lane. But he, along with first team coach Darin Killpartrick, was unable to prevent the club from a swift return to the Isthmian Premier.

With Dabba now stepping

down, Pearce has moved quickly to appoint former Portsmouth coach Robbie Blake to the first team coach role.

The former Premier League striker, who joined Pompey in November 2015 and was retained by Kenny Jackett last season, brings plenty of experience to the role.

As for the manager, the word from Pearce is that this will be dealt with once the playing squad is sorted - so expect plenty of speculation to continue in the coming weeks.

When are the fixtures released?

The officials from the Isthmian league are yet to officially announce a date.

However, in previous seasons the full list is out in mid-July - giving Rocks fans plenty of time to pencil in derby days against Worthing, Burgess Hill, Lewes and Whitehawk.

With so many local matches, there's the promise of bumper crowds and a welcome cash boost to the Rocks' coffers.

When can I get my football fix again?

Pre-season preparations are being finalised by officials at the Nye Camp but two tasty pre-season matches have already been confirmed.

Portsmouth will bring a first team squad to Nyewood Lane on July 24. The week before, on July 17, Brighton & Hove Albion will bring their under23s side to the ground (both 7.45pm).

The rest of the pre-season schedule will see trips to Southern South side Gosport, Steve Claridge's Salisbury and Wessex Premier outfit Horndean.

And, there's the small matter of the World Cup, which while it will not feature any Rocks players does offer a feast of football to enjoy!
