War hero's plea over medals Plenty of FREE Parking

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

GRATEFUL wartime veteran John Seal has received medals to replace those stolen in a callous burglary in his Chichester home.

THe 98-year-old war hero, who was burgled in the early hours of Sunday morning as he slept, received the

replacements by special delivery yesterday.

Corby MacDonald from South Derbyshire had seen the social media post about Mr Seal's stolen medals on a Facebook group he is a member of.

Speaking exclusively to the Chichester Post, he said: "I am a member of the UK Medal Detectives group. I saw the post and knew that we had to help.

"THe ones I have sent to John are a

genuine, full-size replacement. I know they are not his, but they are as good as we can get.

"Second World War medals were not named, they used to get sent out in a brown box with a slip of paper saying, you have been awarded them.

"I just wanted to see an old veteran reunited with what he had earned and won."

Mr Seal had won five medals including;

GLOR IOUS T H E Q AT A R G O ODWO OD F ES T I VA L

31 J U LY – 4 AUG US T

the Italian Star, Africa Star, 1939-1945 medal and the Battle of Britain medal.

Mr Seal's most sentimental of the medals was his one for the 40th squadron of the South African airforce where he was part of a team who sent out spitfires and interrogated them on their return.

It was here that he had worked with the desert rats during the battle of El Alamein.

Less litter has led to fewer penalties kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A DISTRICT council campaign aimed at reducing littering, dog fouling and fly tipping is having a significant impact.

Since the launch of the ‘Against Litter’ campaign in October last year, the amount of litter penalty notices issued has significantly dropped.

Cleaning operatives have also noticed a reduction in the amount of litter they are collecting. And, 124 areas of the district have been adopted by residents, groups and businesses within the first month of the launch of the ‘adopt an area’ scheme.

Cllr Roger Barrow, cabinet member for resident services, has been working closely with Cllr John Connor, cabinet member for the environment, to drive the campaign forward.

Cllr Barrow said: “We have been overwhelmed with the response that we have had from residents, businesses, community groups and the local media since the launch of our campaign. We would like to say a massive thank-you to everyone who has supported it, especially those who have signed up to adopt an area.

“We have launched this campaign in direct response to the feedback that we have received from our local communities. People don’t want to see our beautiful district ruined by a small minority of people. THey want us to take action to protect our environment.

"We’ve done this by introducing litter enforcement officers; increasing awareness of the importance of keeping our district clean and beautiful; and encouraging the community to get

involved in protecting our district. We are really pleased that the amount of litter penalty notices issued has reduced so significantly."

THe council launched the first stage of the ‘Against Litter’ campaign last October to coincide with the introduction of a litter enforcement trial, which has been funded by the fines issued.

THose who don’t pay will be taken to court. To date, 17 people have each been fined £265 by the courts. New powers have also been introduced to fine those caught throwing litter from their car.

If this is carried out by a passenger, the registered keeper of the car will be fined.

THe council has also highlighted that £1 million is spent every year keeping the district’s streets clean and that if people didn’t drop litter, fly tip, or leave behind their dog’s mess, some of this money could be spent on other more important services.

Cllr Barrow continued: "Just over a month ago, we launched our ‘adopt an area’ scheme, where we encouraged people to sign up to help look after an area. THis was about encouraging people to take pride in their local area and report any problems to us.

"THe response has been fantastic – over 124 areas were adopted in the first month - and so we would like to thank the Chichester Post and its readers for all of the support that they have given to this important campaign.

"We are really proud of what has already been achieved and we want to work with our communities to build on this excellent work.

CHICHESTER City Council has decided against contributing any funding towards the city’s Christmas lights.

A report from the BID chairman, Colin Hicks requested that consideration should be given towards funding an extension of the Christmas Lights at a cost of £20,000.

Councillors proposed and resolved that they would not be contributing towards this.

Cllr Peter Evans said: “THe idea was to work with BID to extend the lights down in to the Hornet.

"My view is with the demise of House of Fraser and the changes that are

going on in the city, particularly over the Christmas period, when there will not be a fireworks display because of the works to the cathedral, and some doubt to whether we will have a Christmas tree at this stage, that we do need to try and make Chichester attractive to retailers and people coming in to the city to spend money.

"I think it is really important that we do our bit. THe council have already expressed today that they have a very healthy surplus, that they are going to invest and spend and the fact of £10,000 to be able to invest that with BID to improve the city, it is such a shame that this has been decided against."

New aircraft flies in to Tangmere museum f A white elephant banner appeared at the bridge

Delay in bridge helps drug crime

f The replica Westland Lysander arrived by lorry

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A FULL-SIZE replica Westland Lysander aircraft has arrived at the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum.

THe aeroplane was built by Gate Guardians UK in Cornwall in 2015 for the film ‘Allied’, directed by Robert Zemeck and starring Brad Pitt as a Canadian intelligence officer and Marion Cotillard as a double agent who fall in love during a mission to assassinate the German ambassador in Casablanca.

After the film (premiered in 2016) was finished, the Lysander replica was put up for sale and following a check of its condition by engineers, the museum’s trustees agreed to purchase the replica because the Lysander was such an important part of RAF Tangmere’s history.

By far the majority of the Special Operations Executive pick-up operations conducted during the Second World War from Tangmere by No 161 Specials Duties Squadron were undertaken by Westland Lysander aircraft.

It was described by pilots as “a beautiful

little plane to fly and very manoeuvrable and ideal for getting in and out of small landing grounds”.

THe Lysander replica arrived at the museum on Saturday and during July it will be assembled and placed in the Merston aircraft hall for visitors to view.

It will be displayed in the markings of Jimmy ‘Mac’ McCairns’ aircraft. In 1943 he flew 25 successful pick-up operations from RAF Tangmere and was awarded three Distinguished Flying Crosses.

City custody centre closes - see page eight

A DELAY in opening the Stockbridge footbridge has helped tackle the drugs problem at the city's canal, a councillor has said.

Speaking at Chichester City Council's meeting on Wednesday evening, Cllr Jamie Fitzjohn, from West Sussex County Council, said that an increase in people using the canal had acted as a deterrent to drug dealers and users.

He said: "It has actually improved down at the canal. THat is the feedback we have got. Due to the Stockbridge bridge which goes to Donnigton over the A27 being closed, the canal is the access people are using. THere are more people using it.

"It means that by more people using it, it actually will deter people from dealing and using drugs in that area as well.

"THe community warden is doing an outstanding bit of work there. She is starting to work with a number of members of the community, dealing with issues.

"She highlighted a lot of areas to me that we have got to look at. Since we have been working with the schools, the amount of children who have been hanging around the canal have dropped significantly.

"THe police are also taking it very

seriously and Chichester District Council's anti-littering enforcement officers will also be patrolling the canal. So actually having a uniformed person does actually deter a number of people from anti-social behaviour."

A Highways England spokesperson said: "We are sorry for the delay in reopening the Stockbridge footbridge.

We are still working hard to find a fix, and this may take some time to design, test and implement.

“We have been monitoring how daytime suspension of the temporary traffic lights has been going, and have decided to keep them switched off overnight, too.

"THe temporary pedestrian diversion via the canal underpass will be in place 24 hours a day and we are installing extra lighting, CCTV and security patrols to ensure people using it feel safe. THe temporary lights at the roundabout will then be removed completely next week.

“We would like to thank users of the crossing and residents in and around Stockbridge for their patience and for bearing with us while we find a solution.”

THe above picture was taken by Will Smallwood - the banner, depicting the bridge as a white elephant, has since been removed.

Veteran is shaken by house break-in From page one Mr Seal said he felt anxious about the break in and hoped they wouldn't return. He said: "I felt bemused. I didn't understand what had gone on. It wasn't very nice. I am getting over it now. It just makes me wild that I didn't wake up for it.

I could have confronted them.

"I would really like my medal's back.

THey have huge sentimental value to me.

Replacements are very nice, I am pleased to have them, but they don't really replace the originals, it's not the same."

Mr Seal's nephew, Jonathan Seal said the family were delighted with the public's responses to the crime.

He said: "At first we felt quite emotional.

A 98-year-old's house is broken into and his most treasured possessions are stolen.

"It's not financially a loss, but they have a huge emotional connection, they are things that are very dear to him. We launched a Facebook campaign and have over 35,000 shares in just a few days.

"It is amazing and hugely heartening to get such a huge response. We have gone from feeling sick about human nature to the scum who did this being out weighed by the kind spirits of everyone else.

"A collector who has sent the replacement has shown huge generosity and camaraderie."

Mr Seal, who has lived in Chichester since around 1950, has four carers from Home Instead Senior Care every day.

Morning carer, Sharon Gregory who has looked after Mr Seal for around two years, found the key-safe to Mr Seal's house had

been ripped off the wall and the front door was open with the key still in it.

She bravely entered and found Mr Seal had still been asleep in his room downstairs and she called the police who came and investigated.

Sharon said: "It's appalling that someone who served his country is targeted in this manner. THey are not worth anything except the great emotional value to John. It is awful that someone would stoop so low to steal them."

Mr Seal's nephew, Jonathan said: "THe

police were absolutely fantastic and turned up so quickly. After a search we found that nothing appeared to be missing.

"It wasn't until later that day when one of my uncle's friends visited and asked about his medals.

"I ran up to his study where they were kept and opened the drawer to find them missing. My uncle was absolutely devastated to hear the news."

A police spokesperson said: "THe medals, an African star, Italy Star, two end of World War Two medals and a Battle of Britain medal, were taken from the home in Whyke Road between 8.30pm

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS REGARDING LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY What is a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)?

An LPA is a legal document that allows a person to appoint trusted individuals to make important decisions about finances and care or medical treatment on their behalf, in the event of inability to deal with their affairs, such as through a loss of mental capacity through an accident or illness such as dementia.

care, medical treatment and life sustaining treatment who would otherwise be unable to make decisions on behalf of the person (or liaise with medical practitioners or social services in relation to care or medical treatment). There is no automatic presumption in place that a spouse or children can deal with those matters informally. You can also appoint professional attorneys such as solicitors to act on your behalf.

When do I need these, is there a recommended age?

Everyone should have LPAs in place; no one can predict who would suddenly be incapable of managing their affairs if they have suffered from a mental disorder or been in an incident that affects their capacity.

There are 2 types but what is the difference?

A Property and Financial Affairs LPA can be used if a person has capacity but is overwhelmed with dealing with their paperwork or if they have lost mental capacity through longevity, illness or accident – if this LPA is in place, then their appointed individuals will be able to sell a property, access bank accounts, manage investments and ensure all bills are paid. A Health and Welfare LPA can only be used if a person has lost capacity and is a document which gives authority to the person’s nominated attorneys to make decisions in relation to

Boxgrove run raises almost a thousand pounds for hall

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk ALMOST 100 runners took part in the Boxgrove 5k trail run on Saturday.

Trail running has hit the world by storm and seems to be the activity of the moment. THis was the first time Boxgrove had hosted such a run and it was met with huge success.

THe Boxgrove Run guided runners around the village's beautiful Priory and ruins, the quarry woods, the picturesque Tinwood Vinyard and the local pub.

THe run was launched by parents of pupils at Boxgrove C of E Primary School, which needs to raise £150,000 to build a much needed school hall.

Currently, the school does not have a space where all the children can get together for assembly, lunch, presentations and plays or PE when raining.

Headteacher Kim THornton said: "THe children of Boxgrove Church of England Primary School are desperately in need of a school hall. THe current community room can only cater for one class at a time for curriculum activities.

"Everyone can sit in the space for worship but there is no space to invite families to class assemblies.

"Some children can eat their lunch in this space, others eat their lunches in their classrooms. We have focussed on

money-generating activities and have organised a variety of events from fairs to the Boxgrove 5K Run. We need to raise about £150,000 – we have £7,500 so far."

Nearly 100 runners turned out for this years event raising almost £1,000 for this great cause.

Boxgrove C of E Primary School are keen to hear from potential donators and local businesses interested in sponsoring next years event.

Renetta Luff's daughter, Nina, aged seven, attends Boxgrove C Of E Primary School. After completing the run, Renetta helped at the school fayre to do some face painting.

She said: "I wanted to take part in the run to help raise as much money as possible for a much needed school hall.

"I really enjoyed the run, it was a lovely route and we are really blessed to have such beautiful countryside to run through.

"It was a well attended day, not too overcrowded in the starting waves but enough people to make it a success."

Unfortunately, there were no entrants for a fancy dress competition. THe prize for this was instead given to the ambulance drivers, Steve and Bryn, who had given up their Saturday voluntarily, as the event could not proceed without first aiders available.

THe prize was presented by Hazel Peters and Amy Peters from Boxgrove C of E Primary School, pictured on front page.

Darron offers a visionary view on a whole new world of windows He lifts lid on thriving family business with eco-friendly approach THERE aren't too many double glazing and conservatory companies that can boast more than 40 years in the industry -- Wayne Windows is one of the exceptions.

And managing director Darron Wayne says the company's ability to adapt to the changing business landscape has helped it to flourish since it was formed back in 1975.

In the 43 years since Darron's dad Tony started the business – that soon merited a Which? Recommendation -- there have been a whole host of developments to embrace; Wayne Windows has done just that with a visionary view on the direction of style, technology and application.

From Wayne Windows' state-of-theart headquarters in Charlwood Street, Bognor Regis, Darron explains his company's attitudes and aspirations.

It is very much a family-run concern, with a favourite term used to describe their collective enterprise as "cottage industry".

He said: "For too long double-glazing contributed to a betrayal of our buildings, with cheap white plastic products that were economical but offered nothing aesthetically.

"THe windows and conservatories we

install are helping to put something back. THe boom and bust era of the 1980s saw people buying and selling property, and then fitting new windows etc, in quick succession. Now we are more likely to stay in a property longer so we want to ensure we have the products that are designed to look the part as well as last and have all of the other benefits.

"Of course, being eco-friendly is a huge consideration for us and we very much promote products that boast the 'passive' methodology; that is so highly energy efficient. You'll see a lot of these products, such as the exceptional Heritage range, on TV programmes like Grand Designs. We also pay great heed to recycling all of our waste, too.�

THe company's success sees customers travelling up to two hours to visit the elegant showroom and place orders after being advised by architects working on their properties that they really have no need to look no further than Wayne Windows.

Here they will find Darron's bother Scott, a long-serving surveyor, as well as sales manager Martin Dixon and administration manager Angela Trigger.

Darron adds: "We're one big happy family really and I think it shows in our approach and our values."

MP goes out of this world

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE CITY'S MP, Gillian Keegan, visited the South Downs Planetarium and Science Centre on Friday.

THe MP was given a tour of the Kingsham Road centre and the night sky she would see that evening when she looked up.

Mrs Keegan heard about the amazing work done by the volunteers who run the planetarium, that welcomed over 17,400 visitors last year alone, running 338 shows. As an educational charity, the centre works with schools and other groups to inspire young minds.

In 2017, the Planetarium welcomed over 160 schools. THey also offer teacher training, particularly at primary level.

Principal lecturer Dr John Mason told the MP: "If you can teach about dinosaurs and space you will go far in primary. Astronomy is a great way to capture their imagination and encourage the scientists of the future."

Like space itself, the Planetarium educational programmes knows no bounds, and runs many programmes for children and adults with complex educational needs, and the team there often tailor the performances in the dome to facilitate particular learning requirements.

During the show in the dome itself, Mrs Keegan learned more about the

site. THe projector itself is the only electromechanical projector this side of the Atlantic, and one of only seven in existence.

THe Planetarium also has digital projection capabilities, built predominantly by local businesses and volunteers. It allows visitors to view imagery of the international space station where Chichester-born Tim Peake spent 186 days, as the first British astronaut to board the station.

THe precision of the technology in the dome is so accurate it is the only planetarium used as part of the Royal Navy’s Maritime Warfare officer training in astronavigation, and is used to train all naval officers in the country.

THe MP was told about future aspirations of the centre to expand the educational programmes offered by the Planetarium. As well as the pressures that come with being a volunteer-run educational charity. And they are always looking for an extra pair of hands.

After her visit, Mrs Keegan said: "It was great to learn more about the beautiful skies over Chichester, and I will be looking up tonight to see the show for real tonight.

"THe Planetarium has an incredible ethos educating everyone from six to 96 as I heard today.

"THe dedicated volunteers are truly inspiring our future generations to become the much-needed scientists of tomorrow."

f Steve Aoki gets the crowd going

Three Friday Nights finish with a huge cake throwing crescendo US SUPERSTAR DJ Steve Aoki brought the 2018 THree Friday Nights at Goodwood Racecourse to an exhilarating climax on Friday, following two incredible DJ sets from Rudimental and Example + DJ Wire, with total attendance across the events just shy of 36,000.

Rudimental got the party started in style on June 1, playing some of their biggest hits to a sell-out crowd of 12,000 racegoers. THe atmosphere was one of elation throughout their hourand-a-half set, as lasers lit up the night sky above the parade ring and a live saxophonist added another dimension to their music.

Example + DJ Wire spun a highenergy set to another sell-out crowd on the second night of the series on June 8, playing some of Example’s biggest chart tracks such as ‘Changed

the way you kissed me’ and ‘Kickstarts.’

Racegoers had been treated to a warmup performance by R3wire and Varski, who set the tone for the night with their trademark adrenaline-fuelled drum and bass set.

With the final night also sold out, racegoers were expecting a huge performance from Steve Aoki, and he did not disappoint. Regularly listed as one of the top DJs in the world, it was easy to understand why Aoki had hit such heights, as he excitedly danced, jumped and even swung around behind, and above, his decks. His trade-mark party trick came towards the end of his performance when he launched several large cakes into the crowd.

THe racecourse is now looking forward to its flagship meeting, the Qatar Goodwood Festival, which takes place next month.

` Pedestrian crossing A PEDESTRIAN crossing in Chichester has become part of a legal battle.

THe crossing at Market Avenue and St Pancras was moved when planning permission was granted for a convenience store in Unicorn House. However, Sainsbury's pulled out of the move and it has recently opened as restaurant, Giggling Squid.

Cllr Jamie Fitzjohn, from West Sussex County Council, said: "Where the traffic lights are situated at the moment, it was part of the planning permission for Unicorn House when it was applying for a convenience store.

"Now it does not need that licence, therefore, those lights did not need to go there. However, the problem was the lights were put too close to the junction of Market Avenue, which means they have to synchronise with Market Avenue.

"Market Avenue is one of the busiest traffic lights pedestrian crossings we have in the whole of West Sussex.

What this means is, that every 30 seconds out of a minute, the lights going across Unicorn House are red, which means you can't turn into St Pancras Road.

"THis is causing major problems with congestion and concern for all the companies down there. If it had been moved slightly to the east, then it would have had to synchronise.

"West Sussex County Council Highways have agreed to put it back.

However, the developer paid for it as part of the planning permission.

He has now threatened to take West Sussex County Council Highways to court for liability if they try and move it back."

Custody centre to close in November

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A DECISION has been made to close Chichester custody centre in November as part of changes to the custody service across Sussex, designed to ensure it is efficient and fit for the future With Chichester custody centre having the lowest usage of the six custody centres, it has been decided it would be of operational benefit to maximise the use of Worthing custody centre and close the one in Chichester in November.

THe decision to close Chichester custody centre has not been taken lightly.

It is being driven by a need to make the best use of resources, with savings being reinvested to provide extra resources within local policing, with additional investigations and response officers.

Advertising Feature

Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne said: “THe custody centres of Sussex Police are part of the wider police estate for which I have a statutory responsibility. I need to ensure there are sufficient and appropriate facilities for detainees and police officers.

“Any decision to maintain, close or move any of the custody suites is primarily an operational decision informed by a thorough evidence-based assessment.

“Working with chief officers, we must also consider whether facilities are safe for vulnerable and distressed individuals.

“I will be considering the proposal to invest in and modernise Hastings custody centre, which I know will be warmly welcomed by many officers and local residents and legal professionals.”

City salon receives a top prize STYLISTS at Q Hair and Beauty in Chichester have been celebrating after they scooped a top award.

Champagne was flowing for the multi-award-winning business in North Street when it was named as the winner of a top award of one of the most prestigious national awards for the hairdressing industry.

THe salon was named Ultimate Salon, at the final on Monday, June 11, of the annual Salon Business Awards.

It was a glittering occasion at the rooftop Rumpus Room, Mondrian Hotel in London and

the announcement that Q had won the most sought-after award for the second time gave managing director Dawn Lawrence and her team a real cause for celebration.

Dawn said "We are completely overwhelmed and delighted to have received the Ultimate Salon award.

"To be recognised nationally in such great company and inspiring salon owners was incredible.

"THe location and beautiful summer's evening really enhanced the whole experience."

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%!

Kate - a 50 Year-Old Mother of Two

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!

A month for independents

PropertyNews ` What can you buy?

THE cheapest property currently for sale in Chichester costs just £29,999 - a two-bedroom mobile home on Lakeside. THe problem is it’s not a permanent residence. THe cheapest fixed abode in Chichester, excluding retirement and shared ownership properties, will set you back £140,000. THat will get you a very pretty, if rather compact, studio apartment close to Priory Park.

On the other end of the scale, the most expensive property for sale in Chichester is a tie between a seven-bedroom detached house in Pine Grove and a four-bedroom detached house in THe Drive, both priced at £1.65m.

Let’s assume your budget is somewhere in the middle of that. In fact, the median property for sale in Chichester costs £325,000, which is only marginally up from £320,000 compared to 12 months ago. For that, you could choose between a couple of two-bedroom apartments in Summersdale, a newly-built twobedroom house on the Shopwhyke Lakes development, or there’s a variety of three-bedroom houses around the city with this price tag.

Delving into the median price by property type provides a good indication of what your budget is likely to stretch to in Chichester: 1 bedroom flat = £179,950 2 bedroom flat = £275,000 2 bedroom house = £289,950 3 bedroom house = £375,000 4 bedroom house = £480,000 5 bedroom house = £775,000 THose looking for a three-bedroom house have the most choice, with 112 available to buy in Chichester.

It is the smaller homes, aimed at our first-time buyers, where supply is particularly lacking. THere are actually more four-bedroom houses available (64) than there are onebedroom flats (25 available) or twobedroom houses (37 available). It seems to me that supply remains tight in Chichester, which limits buyers’ choices, keeps house prices resilient, and makes finding that dream home just a little bit trickier.

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A SPECIAL month will be held in the city to support independent retailers.

Chichester BID (Business Improvement District) supports independent businesses throughout the year and will be dedicating the whole month of July to showcase the wealth of independent retailers, services, eateries and cafes.

Chichester BID’s month-long celebration will showcase the might of the city’s independents.

THere are over 350 different independent businesses within Chichester’s city walls, many of whom will be offering special promotions to customers for Chichester’s Independent’s Month.

Jeanette Hockley, members service manager, said: "Independent shops and businesses are an integral part of keeping the city unique and interesting, offering

customers a wide choice of products and services that help to keep the city vibrant with choice and individuality.

"Despite all the gloomy news concerning the general migration to internet shopping, the UK high street still has a certain edge over the internet in two very simple and irreplaceable areas – human contact and spirit.

"Independents are the backbone of the high street’s survival, by supporting local independent businesses, Chichester’s shoppers will help to keep our city individual and personal.

"So why not show your support and get behind Chichester BID’s “Be smart and shop local” campaign in Chichester this July? All participating independent businesses will be easy to spot, festooned with pink and blue bunting and displaying the, Independents Month: Be smart, shop local window stickers."

City's college up for award

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk STUDENTS and pupils at Chichester College are delighted that the student union (Chi SU) has been shortlisted for the Union of the Year award at this year’s 2018 NUS Awards.

THe annual awards are a celebration of the extraordinary work which students’ unions undertake each day, as well as marking their achievements over the past year.

THe shortlist means Chi SU is one of the best student unions in the country, and the nomination reflects the college’s commitment to engaging with its student body and putting students at the heart of everything the college does.

Chi SU represents a combined student body across Chichester College and Brinsbury, and will extend to Crawley College in September following the merger of the colleges in 2017.

Lisa Humphries, Chichester College group director of student services and pastoral support, said: “THis is an incredible honour for our student union and one they richly deserve.

“To be listed in the shortlist of four colleges is such an achievement and is recognition for our fantastic student voice.

“We are lucky to have such a passionate group of students, who work hard to ensure they represent all of the students fairly and equally – contributing to every aspect of college leadership from quality forums to lesson observations.

“It is incredibly important to the college – and to the group – that our students are at the centre of everything we do and to

achieve that we have supported Chi SU in their efforts.

“We are extremely proud of our outgoing student president, Ben Phillips, and the executive team for raising the union’s profile over the past two years to reaching this high standard and we look forward to seeing it continue to flourish when the unions at Chichester and Crawley come together.”

Chi SU has strong links with students, staff, governors and the wider community and has more than 250 course

representatives are registered across Chichester and Brinsbury.

Ben, who first joined the college in 2013 as a 16-year-old student, was elected president in 2016.

Now at the end of a two-year tenure, he is taking on a full-time role at the college, following in the footsteps of several of his predecessors, including Lisa Humphries, who served as president from 2000 to 2003.

Ben said: “We’ve been saying that we have an extremely strong student union

here at Chichester – and to have been shortlisted really backs that up.

“It’s recognition of what we have been doing at Chichester, at Brinsbury and what we’re introducing at Crawley.

“But this nomination is more than just the student union – or student voice. It also recognises the work we do to ensure our students are able to enjoy a fulfilling experience here at Chichester and Brinsbury through ChiXtra.

THe NUS Awards will be held in Birmingham on July 4.

Scanning of logos and crests for businesses, clubs, regiments and the like can be incorporated to personalise any number of different products, utilising any type of font or hand written signature.

Grants boost town groups CLASSICAL music lovers in Bognor Regis have been given a £5,000 boost.

County councillors have awarded the grant to enable the kitchen and toilets at the Regis School of Music to be replaced.

Delighted joint founder Sasha Levtov said: "I'm absolutely astounded by the award and very grateful. Because of all the wonderful support we have had, I'm confident the work will go ahead. It would be good to get it done this summer.

"I did a lot of work, including the plumbing, when we moved in 24 years ago. But the toilets are nearly 60 years old and they are from the beginning of the building."

THe money was given by county council members of the Joint Western Arun Area Committee from their community initiative funding. It will pay for a new kitchen and four renovated toilets.

Cllr Francis Oppler (LD, Bognor Regis E) said he believed the school of music deserved the largest grant he had recommended to the committee.

"Although classical music is not part of my world, there are few organisations in Bognor Regis that have worked so hard and so succesfully to improve culture in the town and the surrounding area than the Regis School of Music.

"Giving this money will reach so many people in the greater Bognor Regis area and help them with new toilets and a kitchen which are absolutely vital for a community facility," he said.

THe Regis School of Music is fundraising on social media for £8,625 for the work.

More than £1,000 has been pledged by individuals so far to take the total amount raised to £6,000-plus.

THe building is used daily during term times and most weekends. Its reputation

attracts musicians from around the world.

Mr Levtov said: "Between 200 and 300 people use the school a week, with more when we hold concerts and during our annual festival."

A further £2,239 was awarded by the committee last Wednesday to the Bognor Institute of Laughter's first tour.

THe tour is due to take place in the late autumn and is set to be staged

` Fly-tipping review LANDOWNERS in the south east have welcomed the government's decision to review its approach to tackling fly-tipping.

CLA South East, which also represents farmers and rural businesses in Sussex, has backed the call for evidence launched to find new ways to crackdown on organised crime in the waste sector.

Its regional director, Robin Edwards, said: Fly-tipping is not a victimless crime.

"It's easy to blame householders for the significant rise in fly-tipping, but we're seeing more and more waste on an industrial scale being dumped across the countryside.

"Part of the problem is council fees putting people off lawful disposal at the local tip but it is also businesses not complying with existing waste disposal regulations."

Figures compiled by the CLA South East showed 1,013 incidents of flytipping recorded in the Arun district and 988 incidents across Chichester.

THe CLA has a five-point checklist for tackling the problem - impose and enforce penalties which better reflect the seriousness of the crime; enforce fines for home and business owners whose waste is fly-tipped; appoint a national 'flytipping tsar'; develop new ways to clear up and support victims; and promote education and working in partnership.

Hal's memory to be honoured by clowns CLOWNS are expected to attend the funeral today of one of the founders of their convention in Bognor Regis.

THe funnymen and women will be dressed in character when they pay their respects to Hal Brooks.

Hal was a joint organiser with the late Trevor Pharo, or Bingo the Clown, of the first Clowns' Convention in 1985.

He toured all the local schools to get the youngsters involved - and hundreds took part in the procession.

Some went on to become entertainers and often thanked him for introducing them to the profession.

Hal, otherwise known as Kerby Drill the Clown, was familiar to classes of schoolchildren to whom he taught road safety in his unique style.

His funeral service will take place at 1.15pm at Chichester Crematorium. His family have asked those attending to dress in a light-lighted fashion to reflect Hal's lifetime in entertainment.

Tributes to Hal, 97, have been paid on social media. Town councillor Jeanette Warr said: "Always fun, gave his best to this town. RIP Hal." Zaz the Clown, who grew up in Bognor Regis, said: "RIP Dear Kerby Drill, aka Hal Brooks, a truly inspirational clown, artist, prop maker and gentleman - you will never be forgotten."

Hal passed away on June 4. He was bon on February 23, 1921, in North Kensington, London, and christened Harry Dennis Brooks. He was the

youngest of seven children - all are now deceased.

He was in a reserved occupation at the start of the Second World War as a maintenance carpenter with a London engineering company. But he chose to serve in the army where he trained as a signaller.

He was put in charge of a gun emplacement on Mumbles Lighthouse, near Swansea. While there, he met his future wife, Deena, at a dance.

His entertainment career started in Collins Music Halls where he appeared as a lightning sketch artist.

Hal came to Bognor Regis from Mumbles in 1960 with his late wife, Enid, and two sons, Jim and Michael, when he was head-hunted by Butlin's to be in charge of children's entertainment at its new holiday centre.

THey became known as Uncle Hal and Auntie Deena to avoid a name clash with Redcoats and other entertainers there and the names stuck throughout their time in the town.

Hal was famous for turning people's names into cartoon faces. Many people in Bognor Regis will have one of his 'Face Names' or laminated wooden pine sculptures.

As Kerby Drill the Clown, he did extensive tours of schools teaching road safety in the London boroughs.

He also toured extensively with the late Pierre the Clown, and a Model T Ford car act, and later with his son, Jim, as THe

Super Sausage Squad in galas and a TV appearance with Robert Brothers Circus.

THey also appeared several times on children's TV programmes such as Blue Peter and Crackerjack.

Closer to home, Hal frequently staged events to raise money to help the town.

In the early 1980s, he built the large yellow character of Billy the Bulb to raise funds for the seafront and Christmas lights and it became the mascot of the town's illuminations fund.

Hal was known for never turning down a request to help others, through entertaining, whether playing a piano or a talk about his painting.

His family would like to thank all those who shared their memories of him on Facebook and the kind card of sympathy they have received.

We are an independent, family run nursery and garden centre with the emphasis on and a passion for plants.

Our ranges include shrubs, fruit, climbers, roses, trees, herbaceous perennials, conifers, ferns, grasses and bamboos but we also seasonally sell things like herbs, bedding plants, vegetables, alpines and Christmas trees. Please come along to The Nursery to see for yourself our high quality plants.

We work constantly to increase our plant ranges and have many new introductions to offer alongside the tried and tested old favourites. A large percentage of the plants we sell are grown here at The Nursery; If we had more room we'd grow more but we just can't squeeze them in! The rest of the stock is bought in from other carefully selected, reputable growers with the vast majority of the bedding being produced by local growers.

It's not all plants though, we offer pots, compost and plant related sundries such as fertilisers and pesticides, not to mention a range of wildlife products to help out our furred and feathered friends.

Hanging Gardens of Summer Planting a hanging basket may be the ideal way to expand your garden or make the best use of the outside space that you have. It’s also one of the easiest ways to connect your garden with your home.

If you plant your summer hanging basket at the end of May or beginning of July then it will thrive in a frost free environment producing a vibrant flourish of colour through to the autumn.

Choosing the right hanging basket really comes down to personal taste, but there are two basic styles to choose from – those with solid sides or the traditional wire types. The benefit of using wire hanging baskets is that they allow you to grow some plants through the sides rather than everything coming from the top of the basket. Whichever you

choose, go for the biggest that you can – the more room you have for plants the better.

First, you need to prepare the compost and liner. For soil you can go for the easy option and pick a ready-made hanging basket compost or you can use a multipurpose compost add a handful of perlite to improve drainage and aeration and add hydration crystals to help the soil retain water. Slow-release fertiliser granules can also be mixed in to feed the plants.

An open wire basket needs a liner to prevent compost falling through.

Traditionally, moss is used and gives a natural feel, but other linings are just as good such as coconut fibre. Using a bucket or empty pot to steady the basket

while you work, place moss around the bottom half, and then add newspaper as a barrier between the moss and compost.

This will stop the soil from falling out initially, and as the paper rots the roots will grow through to hold the earth in place. Fill this bottom half with soil.

Next, insert the trailing plants by making holes 50mm (2in) apart at this level and poke the roots of the plants such as lobelias or trailing ivy through the sides so they lie on top of the compost.

Add more compost and trailing plants, positioning them between those already planted below.

Now plant the top of the basket. A dramatic centrepiece is a must-have – something like an upright fuchsia or a geranium will give you a strong and vibrant focal point. Surround that with trailing plants like petunias or ivy-leafed geraniums, and one or two busy lizzies.

Remember to leave a 30mm (1.5in) gap from the soil to the top of the basket to help it hold water.

Finally hang the basket. Water thoroughly as hydration is key – hanging baskets will dry out very quickly without regular – sometimes daily - watering.

Fit the chain in place and suspend the basket on a secure, supporting bracket.

Take time to rotate the basket so that its best side faces outwards.

If hanging baskets are just part of your outside space then here are some gardening tips for this month from the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) • Plant out seedlings and young plants • Watering and weeding • Start spraying roses to stop black spot and mildew • Fast growing hedges will need a trim • Plant hanging baskets and containers • Plant salad leaves seeds • Tie up climbers • Feed spring bulbs for next year • Plant out tomatoes • Mow the lawn

French lessons with a difference for students f Some of the players at the bridge fundraising event

Card game raises funds for charity A GROUP of volunteers from Chichester Area Talking News played their cards right to raise money for the charity.

THe helpers got together for a marathon bridge afternoon to help the charity raise funds to continue to serve its listeners. THe event took part on a recent afternoon in Boxgrove and led to more than £700 being raised.

An afternoon tea was served halfway through by Talking News volunteers Sheila and Alex Forsyth.

THe chairman, Dave McVittie, congratulated everyone on what he called the excellent result of the event.

Chichester Area Talking News records news from the area on to memory sticks for visually impaired people to listen to.

A spokesman said: "Volunteers record local news from regional papers and post them out to around 400 listeners in West Sussex.

"As part of the service, a player is provided, and it's all completely free.

"TV and radio keep people up to date with national events but many miss truly local news about happenings close to home."

More details from the charity's website: catn.org.uk

FRENCH lessons came alive for Felpham Community College students.

THe college welcomed 27 pupils from St Maur des Fosses, one of the twin towns of Bognor Regis.

THe visiting students spent a day at the college as part of their European options course - extra English lessons and the chance to study some of their subjects in English.

Matthieu Cauchy-Duval, an associate assistant headteacher at the college, said: "It was great to see our students so keen to communicate with the French students.

THe Felpham students were genuinely fascinated by learning more about their French buddies.

"THis kind of initiative is particularly beneficial for our students' confidence in speaking the language.

"Our main objective as languages teachers is to instigate an interest in the culture of the country studied.

"THis has proved very successful as all students and staff were extremely positive about the day."

THe French visitors were paired with Felpham students who had chosen French

in their GCSE options.

As well as shadowing normal lessons, everyone took part in a variety of teambuilding actitivies, encouraging all students to use their language skills.

Oliver Page, a Year 10 student at Felpham, said the visitors were good fun and seemed to enjoy the day.

"I am taking French GCSE and it was a good opportunity to have a go with my speaking and vocabulary.We did a number of activities like charades and quizzes to get to know each other and the students also shadowed us for lessons," he said.

Trustees – Friends of Chichester Hospitals The Friends of Chichester Hospitals was founded in 1948 to help improve facilities in Chichester’s hospitals - St Richard’s Hospital and local mental health services (the former Graylingwell Hospital). A registered charity, run entirely by volunteers, the Friends are a link between St Richard’s Hospital and the community it serves, and raise and spend funds on equipment for the benefit of patients, their families and visitors, and staff. The role of Trustee is to primarily ensure the proper management of the charity and its activities, but extends to a variety of activities e.g. dealing with correspondence, acting as an ‘ambassador’ for the charity, promoting its activities and liaising with its beneficiaries (staff of St Richard’s Hospital and the Chichester Centre - mental health).

Play Area Volunteer – HM Prison Ford Volunteers are required to supervise and provide interesting/appropriate activities for visiting children within the play area of the social visits hall of the Prison. The

play area is set out in a welcoming and attractive way; volunteers greet and talk with the children and their parents. Activities include playing with toys and use of craft materials etc. Visits are on Sunday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 2 to 4pm plus half hour either side, total commitment 3 hours per session. Volunteers can commit to one or more sessions, ideally once a fortnight. Experience of working/being with children in a family environment (aged approx. 1 to 14) would be useful but training will be given. Volunteers must enjoy a challenge, be non-judgemental, friendly, approachable, enthusiastic, reliable and have a sense of humour.

2018 Country Fair Volunteer – Hotham Park Heritage Trust The Hotham Park Heritage Trust aims to promote, for the benefit of the community, the conservation, protection and improvement of Hotham Park and to raise funds to achieve this. Volunteers are needed to help on 4th and 5th August at the Country Fair. Duties will include bucket

collection and park marshalling. Applicants should be physically active, as this role involves standing and walking so plenty of stamina. Should have good front line customer service skills as the role involves engaging members of the Public. They would like people who can commit for 5 hours or longer per day.

Ambassadors – St Wilfrid’s Hospice Could you be an Ambassador for St Wilfrid’s? Could you promote understanding and support for St Wilfrid’s Hospice? The Hospice in Chichester has formed a new team of volunteer ‘Hospice Ambassadors’ who are spreading the word about St Wilfrid’s in the local area.

Ambassadors deliver short presentations of around 30 minutes to an hour, to local groups, societies and companies highlighting their work, the importance of planning end of life care and the involvement of the local community. If you are confident, dedicated, adaptable, and articulate, enjoy public speaking and would like to represent the Hospice in this way, they’d love to hear from you.

RUPERT EVERETT writes, directs and stars in THe Happy Prince, a portrait of the final years of fallen literary genius Oscar Wilde, exiled to continental Europe following his notorious trial and imprisonment. He drifts in and out of raucous Parisian nightclubs, extravagant dinners for which he foots the bill on dwindling funds, quiet French seaside retreats or exuberant all-male frolics to keep Bosie, his lover, entertained in Naples. Emily Watson plays Constance, his wife, and Colin Firth is Oscar’s close friend and protector, the writer Reggie Turner.

Paris is also the setting for THe Young Karl Marx as well as Brussels and London for the early revolutionary socialist and philosopher played by August Diehl, a force of nature fuelled by righteous anger and poverty. He, his wife (Vicky Krieps of Phantom THread) and their children are hounded across Europe as he defies various authorities.

Australia is the visually arresting setting for Sweet Country as it tracks an Aboriginal man accused of murder, who goes on the run in director Warwick THornton’s glorious outback western. THe chase turns into an outdoor courtroom drama with its rough frontier justice. Australia now has its High Noon.

THanks to Andrew Niccol’s creative direction of Anon and the offbeat, effective chemistry between Clive Owen’s emotionally damaged detective, Sal, and Amanda Seyfried’s is-she-hero-or-villain mystery woman, this thriller, trying to crack a series of unsolved murders, may keep you in its grips as will Billy Budd, Benjamin Britten’s drama opera based on Hermann Melville’s novel of a young sailor, under the aggressive regime of a master-at-arms.

THe first outing under the umbrella of Spiritual Films, part of the Chichester Festivities, is Joyeux Noël (Merry Christmas) starring Daniel Bruhl and Gary Lewis.

Why The Fox at Felpham is well worth visiting…

THe Fox at Felpham isn't so much a hidden treasure, more of a well-known treasure. THis pub is a quintessentially English jewel; a gem of a pub serving well-kept ales, great food and a warm welcome.

It should come as no surprise that THe Fox is popular with locals and visitors alike.

Husband and wife team, Ali and Andy Hirons, took over the 18th century pub 12 years ago.

THeir acquisition of the popular hostelry came about after they fell in love with it. THe couple lived around the corner, used it as their local and enjoyed the charm, character and community at the village local, so when the opportunity arose they decided to buy it!

THese days the historic Fox, a picture postcard of a traditional public house, a flourishing business with a hospitable greeting ready and waiting for regulars and newcomers alike.

Ali explains: "It's a proper village pub and popular with locals and visitors alike.

Customer service is very important to us so we strive to make it a memorable visit each and every time, which comes very much as a team effort together with their friendly and helpful staff."

Visit on a sunny day and take advantage of the spacious and tranquil flint walled beer gardens. THeir award winning well-kept gardens are a major feature for which THe Fox is renowned for. And with Felpham beach just a short stroll away, many visitors take a relaxing walk along the promenade after an enjoyable lunch or evening meal.

` Make sure you get your FREE helping of delicious Kelly's Cornish ice cream served when you enjoy lunch from Monday to Friday! ` To book a table call 01243 865308.

Ali and Andy adds: "It’s great to see couples, families and friends all enjoying some leisure time in the sunshine in our beer gardens, whether it's a long, cool drink or perhaps a bite to eat."

Talking of the food, the Fox is known for its tasty offerings just as much as its wide range of well-kept ales including guest ales

(examples of which are Sharpe's Sea Fury, Sambrookes Wandle Ale, Dartmoor Jail Ale) and quality wines.

Andy and the head Chef Martin run the kitchen, producing a variety of home cooked dishes. As well as their popular and traditional homemade pies and curries they have a pub favourites menu such as fish & chips and ham, egg & chips plus a specials board with a large selection of homemade dishes. Diners can also choose from a selection of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

Every THursday they have fresh fish delivered from Brighton (think Smoked Haddock Mornay, Shoreham Seabass Fillet) plus their Moules & Frites Special for £8.95.

If you fancy a weekday lunchtime treat take advantage of the “Free Kelly’s Ice cream” which they give away to every customer who spend £8 or more on lunch.

One big family at Chalcraft Hall…

CHALCRAFT HALL Care Home manager Sara Whitworth is someone whose job is very much a labour of love. THat much is evident when you hear her speak so passionately about the residents at the North Bersted home.

Sara oversees the day-to-day running of the care home which considers its patients as very much part of "one big family". THat family consists of 20 folks living with dementia as well as the 25 caring staff members who see to their every need Sara explains: "We have a busy diary with the emphasis very much on maintaining a home-from-home atmosphere. Twice a week we have musicians come in then we have singalongs with music right through from the 50s to the 80s, which is very popular.

“THe residents love singing along to the songs. THey know all the words. We’re certainly not a home where the residents sit around bored all day.”

"Relatives often join us for the activities, and these also includes quizzes, bingo and periods of time for reminiscences."

Sara's comments come after the home made substantial investment to improve the care on offer.

She adds: “It’s all about creating the best first impression we can. THe old drive was deteriorating and required upgrading, which we are always committed to doing here.

Replacing it has opened up the entrance to the home and made it safer and easier for visitors.

“We listened to feedback from our residents’ relatives about the need to improve the old entrance. It took three months from its planning to completion, but it was well worth the effort.”

But, as important as initial impressions are, Sara is equally aware standards inside the home must be maintained to a high standard as well.

"It was a massive relief for me to know that she was being cared for as an individual and being given time to adapt to her new surroundings."

CHALCRAFT HALL is a privately owned 20 bedroom WE ALSO OFFER: care home offering resident care to people living with . Day care & respite (subject to availability) dementia in a pleasant and relaxing environment. We . Fully trained caring staff . Activities and entertainment have a beautiful large garden for everyone to enjoy.

Health & Wellbeing

by Denise Kelly

Five a day to get your family planning started for summer THIS IS the time of year to get out to farmers markets, to grow your own veggie gardens, and find more abundant local produce.

Summer time is here, so we must make the most of what is available to us. Fresh produce is essential when it comes to boosting fertility, as a diet that is packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, gives our bodies a much better chance of getting all that it needs.

Best fresh produce for fertility: 1. Tomatoes are high in lycopene and vitamin C. Lycopene is a carotenoid antioxidant that increases in bioavailability when tomatoes are processed by breaking down the cell walls in the tissue matrix

of the tomato flesh. It is one of the only foods on Earth that does this. Lycopene is fat soluble, so it is easily assimilated when combined with fats. THink of nuts and a good quality olive oil.

Once lycopene is absorbed in the stomach it is carried to the liver (essential for proper hormonal balance), the adrenal glands (also has an important role in hormonal balance and stress response), and the testes which we all know is an important aspect of creating a baby. Men who consume a diet rich in lycopene have better quality sperm morphology.

Tomatoes are also high in other antioxidants which we know work together as free radical scavengers to help protect cellular health. Our entire bodies are made up of cells, so consuming foods rich in antioxidants is vital to sustaining health. In addition, antioxidants are especially critical to egg and sperm quality.

2. Carrots are high in beta-carotene, which is metabolized into vitamin A during digestion. THey are also high in fibre and other antioxidants. Only three per cent of beta-carotene in raw carrots is absorbed during digestion; puréeing, pulping, juicing and cooking can increase this by 39 per cent.

Vitamin A is also essential for the utilization of proteins, minerals and other vitamins, aiding the body in utilizing nutrients from other foods!

3. Celery is high in calcium. It is important to get an adequate intake of calcium rich foods while trying to conceive in order to build up your stores for pregnancy.

You will need to have enough calcium during pregnancy to keep your teeth healthy and to help the formation of your baby’s teeth and bones.

Calcium is also alkalizing for the body; a more alkaline body is favourable for producing healthy

cervical mucus necessary for nourishing the sperm on its way to the awaiting ova.

A more alkaline vaginal environment is also a way to help prevent yeast infection. For hundreds of years celery has been used as a blood-purifying tonic.

4. Onions are a rich source of vitamins A, B & C. Onions also contain folate, calcium, phosphorus, chromium, magnesium and iron. THis pungent vegetable is anti-inflammatory and very antiseptic, helping to fight bad bacteria in the gut.

In fact it is considered a prebiotic, feeding our good gut bacteria. Its anti-inflammatory properties may be a good choice for people who suffer from painful reproductive health issues such as endometriosis.

Regular consumption of onion may also be a good choice for women with PCOS. THe chromium in onion helps the body to respond properly to insulin levels, improving glucose tolerance. It is also said that onion is an aphrodisiac, aiding those with sexual debility.

5. Cucumbers are great for digestion because of their high water content. One cup of cucumber is high in vitamin A, folate, niacin, B6, vitamins E and K. THey also contain a wide variety of trace minerals.

THis vegetable is a great way to increase your liquid intake, while cleansing the digestive tract. Proper

Lifestyle 27

digestion is essential to overall fertility.

6. Garlic has been found to support heart health.

Proper heart health is essential when facing stressful medical procedures such as IVF, HSG, or hormone testing.

Trying to conceive for a long time with no results can be extremely stressful, raising our heart rate.

THe heart is also essential for healthy circulation.

THis bulb helps to regulate insulin levels, which is supportive for women with PCOS. Garlic is very supportive of the immune system (high in vitamin C), which plays an intricate role in conception and pregnancy. Garlic also contains adequate amounts of B vitamins, shown to be important to the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (think progesterone production) and preventing PMS. 7. Parsley - THis leafy green herb aids in digestion and is used by some herbalists to promote blood flow to the reproductive organs, aiding in bringing on menstruation, while promoting a regular menstrual cycle. Parsley is mineral and vitamin rich.

Parsley does have a slight caution: Very high consumption of parsley is not recommended during pregnancy.

If you have fertility issues and would like to test and see if you have deficiencies in the body, a personalised nutrition program could be just what you need.

Gin provides the perfect tonic on a summer's day Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys martin.lury@me.com

IN THE past two weeks I have been privileged to attend two evenings hosted by the unerringly vivacious Cécile Bergart of Hampshire Wine School fame, pictured near left, with one concentrating on the upsurge in gin sales and the other relating to Champagne and English sparkling wine in particular with due attention to propitious food pairings.

Primo gin originates from the Middle Ages evolving from a herbal medicine for a number of disorders to a tipple spread partly through the British empire.

Empirically speaking, London gin is not the original as it was developed based on the older Dutch genever and became popular in the UK especially so in London) when William of Orange,

leader of the Dutch republic, occupied the English, Scottish and Irish thrones between 1689 and 1702 and the term gin is a shortened form of older English genever.

Gin aficionado Cécile regaled the audience with her insight and first offered up a textbook London Dry Gin to contrast with the new varieties of gin now hitting the high street.

THe new varieties are either floral , spicy or fruity while London gin is a mélange of all these tastes and the City of London Dry Gin No 1 is on offer for just £16 as the 25 per cent off offer on six bottles is available until June 23, so one day left for these offers!

Furthermore, Cécile proceeded to tell us that there are now 32 brands of tonic water and that there is a distillery opening up every week! Fever Tree, unlike the previously ubiquitous Schweppes, is entirely made up of natural products and is very citrussy with nice bubbles.

Tonic waters these days can either be sweet, aromatic or neutral and should be chosen to complement the sort of gin you prefer.

We moved on to a THames Distillery London Distilled Dry Gin No 1 from

an exclusive recipe blended by Charles Marwell and retailing currently at £20 80 with the exotic intensity of the ancient spice route and, paired with orange and cloves, this gin tasted divine!

THe final gin we sampled was a Warner Edwards Victoria's Rhubarb Gin being a variant of pink gin which proved to be deliciously light and refreshing and went so well with an aromatic elderflower tonic, although the £36 price tag is a tad lofty!

Cécile finished by adding a few very handy tips including keeping your gin bottle in the freezer for extra coldness, the crucial importance of ice, tonic needing to be just double in amount compared to gin and using a tall glass with a heavy bottom for maximum enjoyment - varieties of gin abound and happy research!

At the second evening, Cécile began by explaining the difference between Champagne and English sparkling wine.

She introduced us to a Delacourt Brut Champagne on offer, as one of six, at just £22.50 and advanced the notion that Champagne is about yeast producing brioche and biscuit flavours with buttery toast - tiny bubbles to boot and this

Champagne has been on the lees for three years, something that the English cannot reproduce yet. It sufficeth to say that this fine example has been selected as the house Champagne for British Airways!

Climate change, however, is coming to our rescue and the advance of English sparkling wine is the beginning of an amazing success story comparable to the ascent of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Hambledon and Meon Hill, near Petersfield and bought by a French chap, are leading examples and the

English Sparkling Rosé from Tenterden and Chapel Down Winery, on offer at £18, if indeed one of six, proved to be a lively, toasty well-crafted rosé lacking the brioche taste due to less time ageing on the lees, but nonetheless a great pair to smoked salmon and a jolly good summer sup!

As we progressed to white wines, the Margaret River 2017 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc priced on offer at just £8.25 was fresh on the palate and a great summer quaff and resembled a Bordeaux blend of white wine to delight the palate.

Community News & Views MOBILE library users around Bognor Regis and Chichester can pick up advice for spotting scams as well as their favourite books.

Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice has joined with West Sussex County Council's mobile library service to use its vehicle to stock warning leaflets about being conned.

THis is the first year the two organisations have teamed up to mark the national scams awareness month.

Luca Badioli, the chief executive of Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice, said: "We are delighted to be partnering with West Sussex Library Service and their community mobile library which is run by Bognor Regis Library. THis will help us get our scam awareness message out to many more people."

Last year saw Citizens Advice place a limited selection of leaflets on the mobile library. Pictured below are its driver, Rob Hewson, left, and Ken Porter, of Citizens Advice.

THe vehicle based at Bognor Regis Library serves an area which stretches from Findon to Northchapel and across to the Hampshire borders. It stops at more than 60 different locations in its two-weekly timetable.

It is expected the leaflets will be seen by 800 people in many rural locations who would otherwise have been unaware of the Don't miss a trick - Be scam aware campaign.

It calls for mobile library users - and everyone else - to be on the lookout for any website, letter, doorstep seller or phonecall with a proposal that seems too good to be true.

Mr Badioli said: "While there might be new scams cropping up all the time, the tactics of scammers remain the same.

Pam O'Brien, the library's manager, said: "We are delighted to take part in scams awareness month, enabling us to alert our library customers to the dangers of scams.

"Customers using the library will be offered information reminding them of the need to be vigilant throughout the year."

Dear Sir, I’m writing in with regards to the UK Government’s proposal to amend the Gender Recognition Act of 2010, to allow self identification for transgendered individuals, as I’m concerned people may not be aware of the potential impact this could have on women and girls' spaces in our local community.

Not everyone will know that soon our government will be consulting with the general public before they will make a decision on whether to allow transgender people to 'self identify'.

THe aim of self identification is to allow transgendered individuals to bypass the medical diagnosis model. However, this poses a risk to women and girl’s rights to privacy, dignity, and safety.

Passing Self ID will mean a biological male can legally access any space that currently excludes men, including women’s refuges, women and girls' changing rooms, as well as womenonly swim sessions and gym classes.

THis is problematic, as there is serious potential for abuse.

At the moment, if you are transgender, you must acquire a medical diagnosis and a gender recognition certificate before you can access these spaces.

THis cuts down on any potential abuses from those with nefarious intent, such as serious sexual offenders.

I would ask everyone who is concerned about this issue to write in to their local MP to express their concern, and also to take part in the upcoming government consultation to make their views on the issue clear.

A SUCCESSFUL and colourful summer show has been celebrated by Donnington Gardening Club.

THe effects of the long and harsh winter with low light levels, followed by a cold and difficult spring, were forgotten as Donnington Parish Hall was transformed into a mass of blooms and greenery.

A large number of entries displayed the skills of the club's members and the roses and sweet peas were excellent with their bright colours and exquisite scent.

Club press officer Lawrence Holloway said: "Many thanks to all contributors and supporters of our club and show who came along to join in a happy and social

JEHOVAH'S Witnesses from the Bognor Regis and Chichester areas will be among the thousands attending an annual convention next week.

THe three-day event will start next Friday and take place at the Amex Stadium in Brighton. A spokesman for the religion said its theme was to be courageous.

"THe theme places emphasis on standing up for our convictions in a world

occasion with tea and cakes, a raffle and an auction."

Some of the prize winners are pictured above: Pat Arthur Cup (sweet peas): Richard Emery.

Fruit Cup: Jacqueline Coombes.

Bunty Ison Cup: April Janman.

Photography Cup: Jill Gatehouse.

Rose Cup: Mandy Davis.

Vegetable Cup: Jacqueline Coombes.

Best in show: Jill Gatehouse (violas).

THe club's next meeting will at 7.30pm on July 6 at Donnington Parish Hall when Richard Moorey will be giving a talk about the area's neighbourhood policing team. All visitors are welcome.

where faith seems to be disappearing," he said.

THe highlights of the convention will include talks and interviews, a multimedia session, a public Bible discourse and a feature film.

THe event is open to everyone and lasts from 9.20am-4.50pm daily.

It is free to attend and no collection will be taken.

Delegates at last year's convention are pictured above.

HUNDREDS of people are expected to descend on an open space in Chichester tomorrow for a free screening of a Hollywood hit.

THe large audience will gather on the Whyke Oval in Hay Road from 6pm for the 7pm start of THe Greatest Showman.

Before the film, a live band will provide entertainment while the open air film-goers can enjoy their picnics.

Face painting, snacks and refreshments will also be on offer for free at the latest community occasion to be staged by the Grace Church.

THe church has about 400 members in Chichester, Bognor Regis, Midhurst and Havant. THeir community action group has been meeting fortnightly for the past few months to plan the screening.

Chris Kimbangi, one of Grace Church's elders and the lead organiser for the event, said: "As Chichester continues to grow, Grace Church wants to create opportunities that bring residents together to show what a diverse, vibrant and fun community we are.

"Many people also believe that church is irrelevant, boring and full of old people.

"THese events demonstrate a way for people to see the church in action showing its vital place in the community, having fun and for all ages."

THe church began with a small group of people in Chichester in 2006. Its members attribute much of the success of its growth to the public outreach events it has staged in recent years.

THe most recent was a community fun day in Hampshire Avenue, Bognor Regis, last month, pictured below.

Some 2,500 people went along to enjoy a mass of activities such as martial arts display, children's entertainer, bouncy castles and wild animal display.

THat followed a similar day at the Whyke Oval in May, 2017, when more than 1,000 free burgers were given out, along with endless cups of teas and coffees to the 900 people who went along. THe previous September saw a community barbecue in Midhurst attract 300 people to enjoy its games and activities.

THe events have the objective of building social cohesion within local groups of people by bringing together people who might not usually socialise with its other.

THe church's regular Sunday morning meetings have a contemporary feel with modern music.

QUESTIONS about policing priorities and performance can be put to Sussex's police and crime commissioner at a meeting this month.

Members of the public can question Katy Bourne on the way crime is being tackled in Sussex and how the force is performing against her police and crime plan. Answers will be given during the next meeting of the Sussex Police and Crime Panel at 10.30am next Friday at County Hall in Lewes.

Cllr Bill Bentley, chairman of the panel, said: "As a critical friend to the commissioner, the role of the panel is to properly scrutinise all elements of her work, on behalf of the public, to ensure the role is being carried out effectively.

"We want to make sure the issues we are raising are those that the public feel are important to them. I would encourage people to submit their questions and help achieve this."

Questions to the police and crime commissioner can be about any policy issue relating to policing in Sussex but should not be related to operational matters of live cases.

It is recommended that questions be submitted in advance of the meeting to allow full responses to be prepared and to give more people the chance to take part.

A total of 45 minutes will be allocated to members of the public who would like to ask their questions in person. THe two main items on the agenda are the commissioner's annual report and an update on diversity in police recruitment.

Early law enforcement and Chichester police

By Denise Meeson, volunteer at the Novium Museum COMMUNITIES have always sought to police themselves and protect their citizens by organising watchmen to deter criminal activity and provide law enforcement.

THe Roman Empire made the role of watchman into a profession, by creating Vigiles (literally the watch). THerefore, it is possible that Chichester would have been familiar with this organised system of law enforcement.

However, as the city grew, this method of self-policing was no longer adequate. THe use of local watchmen was introduced, in response to the increasing dangers of the unlit streets from disorderly or immoral behaviour, robbery and violence. Every man in Chichester was obliged to join a rota to serve as a member of the watch at one of the four city gates, which was operated day and night. Watchmen patrolled their immediate neighbourhoods, questioned entrants to the city, and deterred or detained ‘undesirable’ characters.

After the Norman Conquest, justice was dispensed to any offenders by the Lord of the City, until in 1312 Edward II granted the citizens of Chichester a charter giving them the right of self–government and the role was taken over by an elected mayor. In time, richer city dwellers began to pay for others to deputise for them on the watch rota, and in 1793 as well as funding the duties of the watchmen, a group of businessmen and respectable citizens in Chichester took the

further step of setting up a consortium ‘to prosecute thieves and felons’. Money raised through fees and subscriptions allowed rewards to be offered, paid the expenses of prosecutions and helped support members who were the victims of crime.

At the beginning of 19th century, Chichester is recorded as having the particular problem of being ‘infested‘ with beggars. THese were perhaps ex-service and disabled men recently returned from the Napoleonic wars. In response, a special constable was appointed in Chichester. He and the night watchmen were paid by Chichester Corporation, which was responsible for many aspects of local governance and development.

It was also becoming clear at a national level that leaving policing arrangements entirely down to local initiatives was no longer adequate in the wake of increasing industrialisation, which was leading to a rise in unruly behaviour and lawlessness in the rapidly growing cities, so plans were developed at government level for tighter law enforcement.

In 1835, the Municipal Corporation Act was passed by Parliament, requiring each borough to establish a watch committee to oversee policing and to appoint constables ‘to preserve the peace’. In 1836, Chichester Corporation created the Watch Committee and authorised the establishment of Chichester City Police Force with the strength of nine – one superintendent, one sergeant

f Police station and Courthouse, 1951

When West Sussex Constabulary was founded in 1857, the city decided that they should take their own force more seriously.

Officer numbers were increased again and uniforms were issued for the first time.

f Chichester Policemen, c1880

and seven constables. At this time, the force was not issued with uniforms and officers could have other jobs.

Chichester city gaol was demolished in 1783, and a new one was built on the south side of East Gate inside what was later to become the city police station.

However, enthusiasm for the police force waned and the number of officers declined to three. When West Sussex Constabulary was founded in 1857, the city decided they should take their own force more seriously. Officer numbers were increased again and uniforms were issued for the first time. THis comprised a black frock coat with number and badge on the collar, leather belt with armorial buckle, red and white arm band and a top hat (later replaced by helmets in 1872). Officers carried handcuffs and truncheons.

THe last superintendent of the city police was Arthur Pratt, appointed in 1867. By this time, alcohol was becoming a significant problem and not only with members of the public – it seems police officers also were not immune to the influence of drink. One Constable Phillips (pictured on the back row, first from the left) is recorded as being drunk on duty on a number of occasions, and although demoted he does not appear to have been dismissed from the force.

In 1889, Chichester City Police merged with the West Sussex Constabulary, which was based at a purpose-built station near the railway station (on the site of the present bus station). Superintendent Pratt retired but most of the other officers were transferred into the county force, and worked out of the Southgate station.

Chichester runners seek Salisbury PostSport in-spire-ation against region's best CHICHESTER’S rising stars of track and field are limbering up for one of their biggest meets of the season.

THe club’s starlets will be testing themselves against some of the region’s best at the Southern Athletics League this Saturday in Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Chichester Runners will be sending entrants to compete at under-17, under-20 and senior levels on what is shaping up to be perfect conditions of ambient temperatures and minimal breezes.

Among those looking to build on a good showing from earlier in the season will be sprint prospect Jacob Piper, who has already dipped below 12 seconds at a Southern Athletics League meet earlier this season.

Meanwhile, Jess Rayner will be looking to build on her own personal milestone from earlier this summer when she broke through the 10 metre barrier for the first time in the shot, putting her within touching distance of

the UK top 50 for her age group.

Hosts Salisbury currently top the table after two events, just marginally from Brighton and Hove Athletics Club, while Chichester sit 11th in the 16-team Division 3 South West having finished in ninth last summer. * Hundreds of competitors cruised round Goodwood Motor Circuit on Wednesday evening for the annual Midsummer 5.

Organised by Chichester Runners, about 300 adults and juniors took part in the event, which starts and ends at Lavant Memorial Hall in Sheepwash Lane.

From its earliest beginnings, the event which is now in its 31st year - has established itself in the summer road racing calendar, attracting athletes from across the region.

Up to 100 youngsters took part in the one mile fun run with a further 200 on the full five mile route around the famous course.

Felpham YC to train future sailing stars

f Felpham YC is one of 15 new centres of excellence

FELPHAM Sailing Club has become one of only 15 in the country to be chosen for a national scheme to train sailors.

THe clubs have been given the status of the first British Youth Sailing (BYS) Recognised Clubs to celebrate excellence in developing sailing stars of the future.

THe Recognised Clubs initiative sees the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) working alongside sailing clubs around the country to promote grassroots sailing and support junior and youth sailors as they develop racing skills.

Chris Atherton, the association's senior high performance manager, said: “THe key challenge for our sport is to encourage more young people to start participating in sailing and progress into racing.

“THis is best done at club level and a successful junior and youth training and racing programme will enable a club to flourish.

“THe BYS Recognised Club status distinguishes those sailing clubs with a

commitment to the development of junior and youth racing and race training, which is delivered in a safe and fun environment."

In order for a club to achieve the status, it must meet a series of exacting standards.

THey must run a regular race training programme in at least one of the BYS recognised classes – the Optimist, Topper, Laser 4.7, Cadet, RS Tera (Sport), RS Feva XL and BIC Techno windsurfer at junior level, and 29er, 420, Laser Radial, Laser Standard, Nacra 15 multihull and RS:X windsurfer at youth level.

Club sailors must compete at BYS Regional Junior Championships at least once every two years.

Training must be delivered by qualified RYA coaches to RYA Recognised Training Centre standards or equivalent, with a safeguarding and child protection policy in place.

THe new scheme replaces the long-running Champion Clubs programme which ended earlier this year.

DARTS: High quality scoring and some nail-biting races to the double were the order of the day during Bognor Friday Night Summer Darts League Mixed Pairs Knockout.

A record 34 pairs took to the oche at the Newtown Social Club to set a new summer league record before they were whittled down to one deserving champion.

Such was the high turnout, two preliminary matches were required before the first round proper where the drama really started to unfold.

Last year’s champions Mary-Jane Todd & Mark H Todd (BRSA Ravens) were surprisingly knocked out by Rhonda West (Richmond Rebels) and Alex Richardson (Aldingbourne Mavericks) before two-time Benevolent Winter League champions, Janet Grinstead and Gary Blackwood (THe Legends), knocked out the surprise victors in the very next round and then made their steady way into the semi-finals where they met Mary Todd and Stuart Gray of BRSA Ravens.

Gary Blackwood hit a heavy scoring groove in the deciding leg with 100, 140 and 99 before showing he had his doubles in good working order too to book their place in the final.

THey faced Hayley Gatford and Tony Phillips (Hunston Hares) who survived a scare in the deciding leg against Debbie and Ashley Clements with Debbie hitting what looked like being a decisive 134 only to miss double 18 for a 92 outshot leaving Phillips to clinch the final berth with a trusty old double top.

Blackwood continued his heavy scoring into the final, setting a marker with an opening 140 before grabbing the momentum of the final with an impressive 112 finish.

Phillips and Gatford battled back in the second leg but it looked like they might be rueing their missed opportunities with just 90 and then 20 left.

But the pressure was mounting for both pairs and, after a series of missed doubles, Phillips finally levelled up the tie with single one and double two.

THe deciding leg saw some fittingly high-quality darts with Blackwood and Phillips both peppering the treble 20 bed.

Both pairs had chances to win it, Gatford missing double 16 for a 90 out and Blackwood landing in outer bull when bull would have taken the title before Phillips held his nerve to hit double 12 with his third dart.

FOOTBALL: Pre-season friendlies have been announced by Selsey and Chichester City for their build-up to their forthcoming SCFL campaigns.

Green Army seek recruits THE CHANCE to become the latest talent to roll off the Green Army production line is being extended to ten-yearold girls.

Chichester City Ladies have expanded youth trials for the 2018/19 season to all age groups currently at the club with a trial day for all teams ahead of the new season scheduled for 10am on Saturday, July 7, at Chichester College.

THe club is rolling out the welcome mat to players interested in joining the club’s under-11, under-12, under-14 or under-16 set-ups.

THe club are looking to build upon the excellent success they have already had in bringing on home-grown talent into the first-team and even beyond.

In 2017, Loulou Robson signed on for Chichester City at the age of 16 and made her debut in the title-winning season while last season saw another four players knocking on the door of the first team having graduated through the Chichester College Academy or the Chichester City Youth.

Poppy Shine, Alice Walford, Gracie White and Alex Collighan have all featured

under Matt Wright this year with the latter becoming a regular within the squad and received a call-up to the Northern Ireland u19 training camp.

THe club are continuing to make preparations for life in National League South, having announced their programme of pre-season friendlies in July and August.

THe warm-up games will see Chichester take on the Winchester City Flyers on Sunday, July 15, and Poole Town a week later before testing themselves against two clubs who will be playing in leagues above them next year; away to local rivals Lewes on Sunday, August 5, and home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, August 12.

Meanwhile, Chichester City FC have put the callout for volunteers willing to step forward to help the club with another season in the Southern Combination Premier.

Following on from last season’s successful cupwinning season, the club want to hear from anyone who can help out, in any way possible.

MIDDLETON will look to build on last weekend's convincing win against Cuckfield.

A similar demolition job against Horsham this weekend could see them leapfrog their opponents up the table in the Sussex Premier Division.

Middleton snapped a three-game losing streak in style last weekend with a complete performance with bat and ball.

THey didn't have it all their own way initially as the Cuckfield attack, which included upand-coming Sussex quick Abidine Sakande, reduced them to 53-3.

Jack Dawling and Mahesh Rawat did an impressive rebuilding job with a century stand and, when Dawling fell for a patient 57, Rawat dominated the last four partnerships to notch up an unbeaten ton at better than a run-a-ball to set Cuckfield an imposing 226 for 8 declared.

THat total proved more than sufficient as home side Cuckfield were blown away for just 97.

Craig Fowle was the pick of the bowlers with an impressive 4-16 in 14 overs with Tommy Davies (3-30) and Sean Heather (218) also getting among the wickets.

f Middleton CC face Horsham tomorrow

Bognor have to begin again

BOGNOR are looking to get back to winning ways after their bright start to the season has stalled without a win in three games.

THey will look to get back to winning ways when another out-of-form side Lindfield come calling at their Regis Oval this weekend.

Bognor dug out a draw against St James' Montefiore last time out, allowing their opponents to chisel away at the six-point lead Bognor had over them at the bottom of the Division Two table.

A battling 47 from St James' player Tom

Prideaux de Lacy ultimately swung the match, lifting his side from a poor start of 79-5 to a competitive 169.

Opening bowling pair Marquino Mindley and Josh Segeant got through the lion share of the overs for Bognor and claimed seven wickets between them.

Bognor's reply was built around wicketkeeper Ryan Maskill's impressive 67 off 93 balls but he lacked support as his side struggled to 116-7.

Elsewhere in Division Two, Chichester Priory Park suffered a tough three-wicket

f Rico Webb making 50 for Pagham

defeat to high-flying THree Bridges.

A 73-run seventh-wicket stand between Magnus Kristensen and Simon Hasted had lifted the away side to a competitive total of 221-8 after they were struggling at 118-6 at one stage.

THree Bridges started aggressively in pursuit, blasting Chichester Priory Park opening bowler Peter Lamb out of the attack after just three overs, and found valuable contributions from their lowermiddle order to see them over the finish line despite Joe De La Fuente’s heroics in claiming 5-53.

Kristensen mopped up the other two THree Bridges wickets to cap an impressive all-round display.

But he couldn’t stop his side slipping to a three-wicket defeat.

Pagham will be riding the crest of the wave in Division THree when they take on Steyning this weekend having put in their best performance of the season last time out to trounce THree Bridges 2nd XI by 191 runs.

Ryan Barratt blasted an unbeaten 108 and was backed up by some late hitting from Rico Webb (50 of just 30 balls) to set THree Bridges 269 to win.

THeir chase never got going as they were reduced to 36-5 and they succumbed in just 24 overs to 77 all out with Justin Scott the pick of the Pagham bowlers.

Bognor edge close match with Ladies BOGNOR LADIES kept their cool to take the spoils in a keenly-fought league contest with Norfolk Ladies in Division One. THe match was hanging in the balance until the late stages but Waterloo Square-based Bognor held their nerve to eventually come away with all six points. Louise Saunders, Penny Jones, Margaret Phillips, Barbara Reardon won 22-19 and Jean Taylor, Beryl Charlesworth, Janet Whitfield, Jenny Gibson won 25-21 Bognor Men also played out a nail-biter against Maltravers in a friendly, with Bognor winning on two of the four rinks to lose a tight friendly 77-80.

B Stabler, G Cook, K Taylor, R Robinson won 20-16, B Smith, S Webster, D Wells, A Hall lost 18-22, R Philpott, J Parry, R Carpenter, T Gaskin

won 24-22, and A Lewis, R Osment, G Kendall, M Philpot lost 15-20.

In the county double rink, Bognor got off to a great start at home against Marine Park Gardens but had to hang on in the end.

Bognor won at home by two shots and away by four to progress to the next round. Home rink - G Stevens, K Taylor, S Soames, T Moore 26-24, away rink - K Hellyer, R Robinson, N Hatfield, J Whitfield 22-18.

On Saturday, Bognor A hammered Division One rivals Worthing 108-71 to claim all ten points - D Jackson, N Waddock, D Ford, R Gardner 23-22, B Daley, R Osment, S Soames, T Moore 21-19, K Hellyer, P Lichfield, N Hatfield, J Whitfield 34-16, and M Conolly, D Parker, G Stevens, A Richardson 30-14.

f Jimmy Muitt, seen here striking at goal, scored nine goals for Bognor last season | Pics: Tommy McMillan

Muitt to stick with Rocks after relegation in boost for club BOGNOR have retained a key attacking threat for their bid to return to the National League South with the promise of more to come.

Jimmy Muitt has put pen to paper on a new deal that will keep him as a Rocks player for their return to Bostik Premier League.

Muitt was among a number of key players the Rocks were keen to retain despite relegation, though the news with fellow striker Ollie Pearce looks less promising.

A potential five-figure compensation package, set to be decided by tribunal, for Pearce is likely to coat the pill somewhat of the likely scenario that the goal-getter will find employment somewhere else in Sussex, with Worthing being strongly linked with him.

Manager Jack Pearce has also whet Rocks’ fans appetite with the prospect of who might fill his namesake’s shoes should he leave.

A proven striker with bags of National League experience and a promising young forward who bagged more than 30 goals for his club last season have been among those given their chance to stake their claim to be the next Nyewood Lane goal hero.

Whoever does take Pearce’s shirt for that

first Bostik fixture, will have a capable foil in tow in the shape of influential attacker Muitt who agreed to extend his stay at the club this week after discussions with manager Jack Pearce.

Pearce said: "Jimmy has bags of ability and we both know there is much more to come from him. He is still developing and will only get better.

"It's always good to have the players who you want to keep agree to do so.

"Signing Jimmy shows we have taken yet another step in shaping the squad for the new season. THere are more signings afoot, both new players and those who will be retained.

"After the disappointment of relegation, to have a player of Jimmy's calibre re-commit to the cause is very encouraging. We're hopeful of an exciting season ahead.”

With Muitt’s signing, fans are now hopeful the club is moving in the right direction and that sense will be bolstered with the news of the Rocks’ new shirt sponsor, Woods Travel.

Rocks will have Woods (woodstravel.co.uk) on their home shirts, while Sussex Cruise Club (sussex-cruiseclub.co.uk) will be on their away tops.

Pearce to wear one more hat HE'S PREVIOUSLY admitted to 'wearing too many hats' in balancing a myriad of responsibilities with the Rocks alongside a senior role with the FA. But Bognor manager Jack Pearce has plumped to add another chapeau to the collection by taking on a senior role within the Vanarama League.

Pearce stepped in to the breach to replace Charlie Clapham on the league board who stepped down at the close of the season from the post of vice-chairman after resigning from Southport amid a takeover bid.

Pearce has previously been labelled 'the most influential man in Sussex football' for his prestigious position with the FA which has seen him play a key advisory role on who the country would back as the new FIFA president and whether to introduce the winter break.

Long-serving club secretary Simon Cook is also set for more meetings after taking on further responsibilities with his election to the board of the Bostik League.

Cook had served as a board member for seven years until the club left the league last summer but says he is delighted to be able to again take a part in shaping the league’s policy and organisation.

ON THE pitch he was a bullish sharpshooter who would run through brick walls if it meant he would have a sniff at goal.

But in his second career, Bognor's new first team coach appears to be calm, measured, confident, but overwhelmingly excited about the challenge ahead.

Robbie Blake arrives as Nyewood Lane after three years at Portsmouth. When he was announced as the successor to Darin Killpartrick, many eyebrows were raised.

Not many people are prepared to drop four leagues down the football pyramid to progress their career.

But Blake is certain he has made the right move and just cannot wait to get started when the players return from their summer break in just a few weeks.

In what is the second part of an extensive interview with the Post, the former Bolton, Bradford and Leeds United striker explains how he's keen to use his Portsmouth contacts to help Bognor push on up the Isthmian Premier in the coming season.

Robbie - many people were surprised at your appointment. What are the comparisons with Bognor to the previous roles and clubs you've been at?

Obviously I've seen the training facilities this week and Jack and the rest of the team have done a really good job in getting that sorted and to a good standard. In terms of my approach to the players I don't think it will be that much different to what I've been used to.

THe coaching methods I used at Portsmouth and Chesterfield before will be the same that I use at Bognor.

I'm just hoping the lads really enjoy it and we can all progress as a team.

f Rocks boss Jack Pearce

What specific areas will you be looking at?

To be honest, I think we will look to work at everything.

I like to have a tempo to the training which gets the lads working hard, moving the ball about, moving the ball quickly with the aim of playing good attacking entertaining football.

I have my methods and I'll be looking to really drum them into the players Will that extend to you using your striking knowledge to help the team score goals?

Of course! I've spoken to Jack about the situation and I'm pretty sure will get one or two in up front. THat's an area we need to strengthen in and I'm sure we will be doing that in coming weeks. Hopefully, they will be a good fit to the way the team plays.

How much will you be bringing from Portsmouth?

Will Bognor be signing any Pompey players soon?

100 per cent I plan to use my contacts at Portsmouth.

It's still pretty early in terms of pre-season not even starting but, hopefully, there are one or two things that can happen.

I'm pretty sure if go down that route something like that may be able to happen.

Have you any targets for the next season?

It's tough at the minute as I've not been around the players just yet. But Bognor has a really good set-up and they have been high in the leagues in recent years.

I'm pretty sure with one or two new additions which Jack and I have spoken about we can have a successful season and be in the top three or four.

No one wants to settle for midtable or the bottom half so, hopefully, we can do better than that.

We need to be positive about what’s coming up ahead.
