Takeover of House of Fraser Plenty of FREE Parking

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

A BID to take over House of Fraser in West Street is underway with plans for a shop share.

Richard Reynolds, founder and owner Shop Share UK has started a bid to take over the department store in the city centre.

Bognor Road, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20 1EJ Tel. 01243 756170 BrickKilnGardenCentre

Last month, Chichester Post reported that the retail giant House of Fraser was set to close its doors within the next six months.

On Thursday, June 7, the business announced the closure of over 30 stores, including Chichester's, after it filed in the court, proposals for company voluntary arrangements, without which they had no viable future.

Mr Reynolds said he visited Chichester

after the news and had a look around the store seeing its potential for Shop Share with plans to take over the store by January, when House of Fraser is set to vacate.

He said: "I popped in to the store and had a look about and I was amazed at the fit out. It was only done about two years ago and they have spent a lot of money on it.

"The majority of money spent in retail

by businesses is on shop fittings, and here is one with a great fit out so it's all there and okay.

"The concept is to keep it as a type of department store but with a new concept.

There are innovative ways of doing things and we need to embrace new technology.

"Eventually, it could become a staffless store with any employees doing marketing, packing and exporting."

City regeneration will cost millions kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk OVER £180 million is being spent on regenerating 30 acres of largely brownfield land and creating over 1,000 jobs at the southern entrance to the city.

At a special meeting held on Monday morning, the Chichester Post was briefed on updates on the regeneration project, titled Southern Gateway, by Chichester District Council.

Plans were given councillors’ go-ahead in November despite repeated concerns from the public about congestion caused by the city's level crossings.

Areas include the bus station and depot, Basin Road car park, law courts, former Chichester police station playing field, the the old Chichester High School buildings and Royal Mail depot buildings.

The project, estimated to take around four years of construction work, features new homes, business and retail space, leisure and tourism facilities and improved transport links with a focus on cycling, walking and public transport.

District council deputy chief executive Paul Over said: "The total development cost is estimated at £180 million. Most of that will be delivered through the private sector. We have secured £5 million of public funding already and we need a bit more than that.

"Public funding has been really important and we need to generate some more public funding money and we are working on that actively now."

The project will go out to tender in late October.

Mr Over continued: “Once we have selected a developer, we envisage they will put their ideas on display and have

an exhibition.

“Chichester often punches above its weight in terms of the types of industries it attracts here. We are tying to encourage some of those of higher paid businesses to locate or expand here to deal with that mismatch of houses and wages that we have in the area.

"The masterplan had traffic consultants involved who looked at the flyover and they looked more generally at traffic regeneration. Because of the uncertainty around the A27 and continued uncertainty, we have had to assume a neutral situation in terms of traffic in the Southern Gateway area. We have assumed nothing happens."

The council has yet to confirm a new site for the bus station and the Royal Mail due to commercial sensitivity.

A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “ We have been clear that we cannot relocate our operations from our site in Basin Road unless we have a suitable new site nearby from which to deliver mail to customers in Chichester."

District council leader Cllr Tony Dignum said: “Work on the Southern Gateway project is progressing well.

Over the last three months we have been putting all the initial building blocks in place which will allow us to approach the market in the autumn and start the process of selecting a developer.

"In spring we carried out a ‘soft market test’ to gauge how potential developers would react. We have received very positive feedback.

"We anticipate the development partner will be chosen in spring 2019.

The selected partner will then present their ideas and the public will have the opportunity to comment.

"The Southern Gateway will offer many benefits to Chichester.”

FRIENDS of Centurion Way ran a successful summer event on Saturday on their beloved path.

Volunteers had put together a quiz about the history and wildlife of the path and offered cold refreshments to passing walkers and cyclists which went down very well in the heat.

Sarah Sharp, Green Party city councillor and key founding member of the group, said: "This was an amazing event for all the family.

A huge amount of teamwork and research went into putting this guided walk and quiz together which I really enjoyed taking part in.

"Chalk streams, wild plum trees and water voles - fantastic wildlife on our doorstep which we need to fight hard to preserve.

"We now have 21 days to comment on the latest White House Farm planning application (18/01587/ REM) and we would urge residents to get involved and comment to make the development the best it can be for people, wildlife and the environment".

War hero Colin flies high again in Spitfire f The House of Fraser store in West Street

Fighting to save stores in the city

f Colin Bell and The Duke of Richmond | Credit Alex Benwell

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A 97-YEAR-OLD former RAF pilot from Kent fulfilled a lifelong ambition at Goodwood Aerodrome, when taking the controls of a Spitfire in the skies over the south coast last week.

A few days before the RAF centenary celebrations in London, Colin Bell was invited to the Boultbee Flight Academy at Goodwood for the half-hour dream flight, and afterwards he was met by The Duke of Richmond, who spoke to him about his experience.

Mr Bell said: “I have had this fantastic experience at Goodwood, in flying a

Spitfire. It’s something I have always wanted to do and today was the culmination of that ambition."

Colin served in the Second World War on operations as a Mosquito Bomber Pilot. Born in 1921, he joined the Royal Air Force towards the end of 1940.

Following Pearl Harbour, he was retained by the American Army Air Corps as an advanced single-engine flying instructor responsible for training American and British Cadets in a Harvard.

On his return to the UK in 1943, he converted to twin-engine Mosquito Bombers and joined 608 Squadron (Pathfinder Group) based at Downham Market in Norfolk. During his tour of operations, he carried out 50 bombing

raids over Germany.

He ended his full-time RAF service in 1946 carrying Diplomatic mail to Embassies situated in various parts of Europe and Africa.

Mr Bell said he left the acrobatics to spitfire pilot, Chris Hadlow. He said: “I did do some flying around to the best of my ability. Chris did a ‘roll off the top,’ a ‘barrel roll’ and a ‘slow roll.’

"The Spitfire is a lighter aircraft than the Mosquito, but from the point of view of manoeuvrability, I don’t think there is much to choose between the two. But it was an absolute privilege to be in a Spitfire today.”

From page one Colin Hicks, Chichester BID chairman said: "It is an interesting idea and the BID is always interested in ideas that will modernise our streets but it will depend on individual businesses working together.

"We are a very broad church of businesses and we will work with all theses businesses to find a way forward."

A spokesman for Chichester District Council said: “We really value Chichester city centre and understand that its continued success depends on having a good mix of shops and other facilities for a wide range of people.

"We have no control over the identity of the retailers that go into the units, this is down to the landlord of each building, however, we want to do what we can to support the vitality of the city centre.

"The House of Fraser site is in a prime location and we are confident that it has a positive future. The Shop Share UK scheme sounds interesting, and we would welcome the opportunity to learn more about the concept."

Mr Reynolds has been in touch with Portsmouth International Trade and has said that he would use the empty shipping containers and the port to export goods direct from the store to places abroad at a low cost.

With 29 businesses currently occupying the House of Fraser site, Mr Reynolds said he envisages around

half of these will stay.

He said: "There are not that many shops in Chichester which are empty compared to a lot of other towns.

Chichester is full of independent shops too.

"The plan is to have the second floor dedicated to online TV shopping channels which broadcast live and social media. Introducing these independent businesses to online concepts will help and make them viable and successful.

"Everything will be in store to promote the businesses with the broadcasting and selling. The option is there to sell directly in-store and export directly too We would even look to have the Department of International Trade on-site to help.

"I am currently contacting businesses in the store or new ones to gage their interest. I would then look at showcasing the new concept store to investors and the landlord.

"I want to have businesses registering within the next four weeks and takeover the site in January if not before.

"It's a great store and it is ideal for this plan. I'm really excited about it.

You have to fight to save stores and that's what I am doing."

Any businesses in Chichester who are interested in this venture should contact Richard Reynolds on: 07761950724 or email: ricardo1066@ hotmail.co.uk

Understudy shines on opening night

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk AN OPEN night for the Festival Theatre started with a main character missing.

At the start of the show on Monday evening, artistic director, and director of Me and My Girl, Daniel Evans, took to the stage to make an announcement regarding Little Britain star, Matt Lucas.

He said: "It's never good when you see the director on stage before a show! I have an announcement to make, Matt Lucas will not be performing this evening. He went to visit a specialist throat doctor and has been told to rest his voice.

"We have his understudy, Ryan Pidgen, standing in for him after around just three or four hours of rehearsals. Frankly tonight, Ryan Pidgen is my hero."

The reaction was met with groans at first, as the audience were left feeling disappointed that the celebrity had been told to rest but by the end of the

f Matt Lucas

night, a standing ovation was held for his replacement.

Caroline Quentin, pictured below, one of television’s most popular actors from series such as Men Behaving Badly, Jonathan Creek and Dickensian, made her Chichester debut as the Duchess of Dene.

Daniel said after the show: "A star is born may be a showbiz cliché but Ryan Pidgen made it a reality on Monday night.

His performance as Bill was astonishing and I’m enormously grateful to him for taking it on at such short notice – and to Alex Young, Caroline Quentin, Clive Rowe and the rest of the company for rising so magnificently to the challenge.

"Our wonderful Matt Lucas has been acclaimed by audiences throughout the previews and we all wish him a speedy recovery and hope he’ll be back with us soon."

f Gillian Keegan helps cut the cake at St Richard's

NHS birthday is celebrated with slices of cake at city's hospital EVERY patient art St Richard's Hospital received a slice of birthday cake to celebrate the 70th birthday of the NHS. Love Your Hospital, the dedicated charity of Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, handed out the celebratory gift with the help of Chichester MP, Gillian Keegan.

Gillian visited elderly patients on Middleton Ward and young patients on Howard Ward, handing out the charity’s goody bags and hearing about their experiences of care in hospital. Each patient also received a piece of fruit kindly donated by Nature’s Way. Patient Denise Dale, from Bognor Regis, said: “I’ve lived locally for 40

years, so the NHS and St Richard’s Hospital mean everything to my family.

It’s so very important to all of us.”

Gillian also took time to pose for photos with staff and talk to them about their work caring for patients.

Gillian said: “The NHS is like a big security blanket for each of us so we are safe in the knowledge that during times of sickness, in our hour of need, we have access to fantastic treatment, delivered by wonderful staff who care for us and nurse us back to health.

"It is incredible to think that there are people alive today who did not have access to treatment when they were ill and could only get healthcare if they paid."

Summer Garden Party is yet again another huge success

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk SCORCHING temperatures didn’t deter visitors from attending the Summer Garden Party at Graylingwell Park.

Last year over 3,000 local residents visited the site and this year was equally as busy.

Chichester Mayor, Cllr Martyn Bell, said: "There has been a fabulous turnout here today. There is a fantastic range of stalls with charities and businesses.

"Of course, we couldn’t ask for better weather, which is perhaps why it is busier here as lots of people have avoided the beach as it will be too crowded.

"It's amazing to look at all these volunteers working hard and doing a great job."

The Kids’ Village included tractor rides, a bouncy slide, sumo suit wrestling, pogo gladiator game, face painting, sports and play games, crafts and Monkey Music.

In the arena there were activities to take part in including, KTroo, a Zumba class and Caperioa.

In the arcade, classics included the crockery smash, runaway train and coconut shy. Money was raised for the West Sussex Scouts and Chichester Community Development Trust.

Mandy Robson attended with threeyear-old Lacey and Natalie, aged five.

Mandy said: "It's such a good

community atmosphere here, we've had a great time. I love how everyone is having a good time and smiling and happy, it's just a lovely place to be."

The market area had local small businesses selling their goods including homewares and gifts to wine tasting and watercolour paintings.

There were lots of charities present including St Wilfrid’s, Age UK, Brent Lodge and the Snowdrop Trust.

Options for food included some guests bringing their own picnics to have on the grounds, or visiting the food market, with options of barbecued food, hog roast, Thai food, cakes and treats, teas, and ice creams.

There was also of course the beer tent for adults where visitors relaxed and enjoyed the variety of artists and performances at the performance stage of the show.

Clare de Bathe, trust director at the Chichester Community Development Trust, said: "This was another great year for Chichester Community Development Trust and the West Sussex Scouts.

"We had over 65 stalls offering a variety of activities and entertainment as well as great arena events and talented performers.

"We battled the heat and were delighted with the turnout given the scorching temperatures and the matter of a game of football at the same time!

"We are really grateful for all the support we had to make the event such a great day out!"

` Business survey BUSINESSES throughout the district are being urged by Chichester District Council to have their say on current business conditions and what support they would like to see from the council.

The council has launched an online survey at: chichester.gov.uk/ letstalk until Sunday, August 26, which asks about local businesses and the conditions they operate in.

The survey also asks about a number of issues from premises and location to recruitment and skills.

Information gathered from the survey will help shape the council’s economic development strategy from 2019 - 2024. This sets out how the council aims to support local businesses in the Chichester district.

Every Chichester district business that completes the survey will be entered into a draw to win £50 for a Chichester-based charity of their choice.

Cllr Tony Dignum, leader of the district council, said: “Local businesses play a critical role in our communities and the council is committed to helping them succeed “We would encourage businesses to take part because this information will be used to shape what support, business accommodation and grants we will provide over the next five years – and so it’s vital that we have their input.”

80 new jobs at The Range

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk MORE than 80 new jobs will be created next month when retailer giant, The Range, opens its doors in Chichester.

The home, leisure and gardens retailer, has announced that it will be opening a new store in Chichester, located on the site of the old BHS store, in Westhampnett Road.

Over 80 full and part-time jobs, from store to department managers and warehouse assistants to retail administrators, will be created in the new store, due to open on Friday, August 24, at 9am.

This is expected to be a big boost to the local economy and is sure to be a positive addition to the area after the recent announcement from House of Fraser that it is to close its city centre store in January.

The development works to transform the former BHS site into a Range superstore are well underway in

preparation for the grand opening in August.

The Range operates more than 155 stores across the UK and Ireland and is also planning to open a new store in Bognor Regis.

The retailer offers a large range of products across 16 departments.

The new store in Chichester will be spread over two floors and provide products across arts and crafts, home interiors and DIY. The store will also have a large outdoor garden centre offering an extensive choice of plants, tools and furniture and there will be a family café serving a wide selection of hot and cold food and drink.

Owner and founder of the firm, Chris Dawson, commented on the upcoming Chichester store.

He said: “Opening a new store is always an exciting moment for the company and Chichester is no exception.

"The job provision that comes with the new store should be a great boost to the local area”.

f The dig is underway at Priory Park

Unearthing the city's secrets in Priory Park history digs LOCAL archaeologists returned to Priory Park this week for a second public dig to uncover more of the Roman secrets hidden beneath the ground.

This year’s project will extend the work carried out last year, which uncovered the very well preserved remains of part of a Roman bathhouse, complete with its underfloor heating system, probably part of a luxurious Roman townhouse, occupied by one of the city’s wealthiest citizens.

The dig is being led by Chichester District Council’s own archaeologist, James Kenny, with volunteers from the Chichester and District Archaeology Society, who have returned with their trowels to uncover the whole of the building. This will give people the opportunity to see the whole of the bath-house and how it connects with other nearby buildings Last year’s event was extremely successful, with hundreds of people turning out to find out more about this unique part of Chichester’s history, which has survived untouched for more than 1,600 years.

Two years ago the remains of three Roman buildings were identified using ground penetrating

radar equipment. The discovery was confirmed following a small dig carried out by James and the volunteers in 2016.

Scans appear to show two large masonry houses, which would now be the equivalent to Chichester’s grand Pallant House Gallery building, and would have been owned by someone of great importance.

Susan Taylor, cabinet member for planning at Chichester District Council said: “The first public dig last year was so popular and it was wonderful to see so many people of all ages keen to find out this fantastic piece of history hidden beneath the park. .

“This year even more of the area will be uncovered, giving us an even better understanding of what life was like back in Roman Chichester.

“I want to encourage as many people as possible to come along and see the project in action."

Residents and visitors can watch the dig in action until Sunday 22 July when James and the team will share their findings on during a series of talks scheduled for 10am, 12 noon, 2pm and 4pm.

Aviation museum calls for help to recruit volunteers

` Festival of Speed GOODWOOD'S 25th Festival of Speed started yesterday with another three days of action to come.

The 2018 Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard theme will celebrate the event's 25th anniversary: "Festival of Speed The Silver Jubilee".

The first Festival, in June 1993, redefined what a car event could be, and, in the years since, it has firmly established itself as the world's greatest celebration of motorsport and car culture.

Now, to mark the Silver Jubilee, the Duke of Richmond (formerly Lord March) will choose his 25 favourite moments from the first 25 events - personal highlights which, in very different ways, have been landmarks in the Festival's history.

These moments, and the cars and drivers which created them, will be cornerstones of this year’s event, alongside the usual gathering of extraordinary vehicles from the dawn of motoring to the present day and beyond.

The Festival of Speed is also marking 70 years of Porsche, with six of the marque's cutting-edge sportscars mounted on the tallest ever Festival Of Speed central feature.

An early 356 takes its place with a 959 Dakar, 917, 918, 911R and 919 Hybrid, and they're part of wider celebration of the Stuttgart company's milestone anniversary.

For more information on the timetable of events, visit: goodwood. com/flagship-events/festival-of-speed/ programme/

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A POPULAR museum has seen a huge rise in the number of visitors through its doors over the past year.

The increase of people going to the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum is probably due to increased awareness through the RAF 100 and 100 years since the end of the First World War. Currently, the museum is 22 per cent up on visitors from 2017, which had a total figure for the year of around 34,500 people, just a few hundred short of their all-time record of 35,000 visitors.

If the current increase continues, staff are looking at welcoming around 42,000 visitors to the museum.

Trevor Clark, the museum's archivist and deputy curator, said the museum was a victim of its own success and was now struggling with volunteers.

He said: "We need new staff to replace those stalwarts who have been at Tangmere years, of which many are now well over 80! We're looking especially for younger people to take their place and take us into the next ten years, as with ever increasing visitor numbers year on year, we are now showing signs of strain.

"However, society is changing, most of our current volunteers retired in their late 50s or early 60s with generous pensions about 20 years ago. Today's people in that age group are still looking

at working until the age 66 or 67 and with less generous pensions as well.

"I work early in the morning - a 4am start - to allow me to volunteer at Tangmere, as I've got almost six more years until my pension, but I'm just a little mad.

"I fear Tangmere is not alone in this, but our first hand knowledge base which is loved by our visitors, is also endangered.

Most of our older staff did national service, which finished in 1960. Since then, our forces have shrunk to almost nothing, so in future ex-servicemen will be few and far between.

"We need to cast our net towards anyone (not just ex-forces) who has an interest in local or world history, science technology or would just like the chance to make new friends."

Terry Bryant is retired and has been volunteering at the museum for around 20 years. He said: "I do one day a week, working in the shop at the museum.

I always believed you have to have something in your head to avoid things like dementia. There are lots of nice people here and it gets me out of the house."

Spiral stairways lead to some hidden treasures inside the city's cathedral

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THREE private areas of the city's cathedral were opened to the public on Saturday as part of the Festival of Chichester.

Visitors could go behind the scenes for three hours and see hidden gems within the building.

The areas included the Song School, the cathedral library and the Bishop's Chapel.

The Song School is reached by a winding staircase and was added in the early 15th century as the Chapter House where the canons met to discuss business matters.

The seating plan is the same as that in the Choir, where the canons worshipped.

In recent years this room as been used as the Song School where the cathedral choir practices twice a day.

Hailed as one of the most exciting parts of the room is where a piece of oak panelling slides to one side to reveal a secret door.

It has been used for the music of the choir school since 1960 but before, in the 16th century, it stored the cathedral silver.

When parliamentary troops came in to the cathedral in 1642 they were given information that the silver was hidden here. They came up to the Song School

room and tapped along the walls to find the secret door.

They went in the room and found the cathedral silver which they took away and melted down to go in to the coffers to pay for the parliamentary troops' wages.

The cathedral library, on the opposite side of the building, also reached by spiral stairs, was moved to this location in 1969 after it was accommodated in different parts of the cathedral over the centuries and was fitted out by the generosity of the Pilgrim Trust.

Scholars, academics and students use the library which contains bibles, prayer book, hymnals, theology and church history.

Early collections of the books suffered badly at the hands of the Parliamentarians during the Civil War. However, a King James Bible, known as the Vinegar Bible, which dates from 171 survived.

It is the largest book in the library and is given its name due to its misprint reading at the top: Parable of the Vinegar instead of Parable of the Vineyard.

Displayed on a table was a Benedictine Missal, from 1481, which is a service book, pictured right.

Missal means Office of the Holy Spirit, and the manuscript is written on vellum and bound in pigskin with brass fittings.

It contains some musical notation, has two initials in gold, an illuminated fill page painting of the crucifixion and

a note from the library of the Duke of Sussex.

The last area was The Bishop's Chapel, which is found outside the cathedral in the historic Bishop's Palace. This is the private chapel of the Bishop of Chichester and has been in regular use by successive bishops.

It has changed a little since it was rebuilt in the early 13th century and it contains interesting features including a 14th century wooden screen to a mid-20th century mural painting of the Ascension by Hans Feibusch.

Possibly the most interesting part of the room is the rare roundel wallpainting dating form the 13th century, well-known as the Chichester Roundel.

Ruth Poyner, head of communications, marketing and visitor services, said: "We were delighted to open the Cathedral’s library, Song School and Bishop’s Chapel as part of the Festival of Chichester.

"These three historic areas are a special part of our daily working life, often in use for a number of different purposes, so it is a real pleasure to share them with the public and offer a look behind the scenes.

"Hundreds of visitors came to explore these normally closed areas and for those that missed it we plan to repeat the event as part of Heritage Open Days on September 8."

PropertyNews ` Pallants are top ABOUT once a year I like to take a look at which streets in Chichester are the most expensive by average property value. Having alternated for the past few years, North Pallant can still boast being the most expensive street in Chichester, with an average property value of £1,107,000.

That’s close to three times the average property value in Chichester, which is currently £383,347. That overall average has only risen by £383 (0.1 per cent) since I did this study last summer, whereas it seems the rich really do keep getting richer - the homes in North Pallant having increased an average of £17,243 (1.6 per cent). While it’s a similar story for residents of the second mostexpensive street in Chichester (Pine Grove at £1,031,000), the third most expensive street in Chichester (Brandy Hole Lane) has seen its average value actually decrease in the past year.

In fourth spot is a new entrant to the list - West Street. With a few newly converted apartments and a couple of sales in the past two years at £1.25m and £1.5m, it has seen the average value on the street blast up to £973,000.

West Broyle Drive, meanwhile, has seen a drop in value (by 1 per cent) that has caused it to slip down to fifth place, with an average value of £961,000.

Volunteers help give beach a clean

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk VOLUNTEERS attended Selsey beach on Saturday to help reduce the amount of litter along the coast.

Chichester District Council encouraged people to do their bit for the environment and join in the Big Beach Clean-up.

This is one of many initiatives taking place across the district supporting the council’s Against Litter campaign.

The council’s community warden for Selsey, Neil Hill, organised the cleanup from 10.30am until 2.30pm at East Beach, Selsey. Local environment group, East Beach Pond Group, took part, along with schoolchildren and their families.

A number of Selsey residents have expressed concerns to Neil about the amount of litter, especially plastics and fishing equipment, that is left or washed up on the beach.

Pupils at Medmerry Primary School

have also shared their worries about the impact of litter on the environment and marine wildlife in Selsey and were keen to support the event.

The children had been busy designing posters to promote the clean-up which were found in shop windows along High Street, Selsey.

A Chichester District Council spokesman said: “The Selsey Big Beach Clean was a big success.

"Our community warden, Neil Hill, was joined by Cllr Roger Barrow, Cllr Carol Purnell and 30 local volunteers to help clean the beach.

"Between them, they collected 20 full bags of rubbish which consisted mostly of general litter and discarded fishing materials. The turnout from the public was excellent and we are pleased to see so many people supporting our Against Litter campaign.

"We expect lots of people will be visiting the beach this summer and Neil Hill hopes to organise another clean-up event at the end of the season.”

Green dog walkers scheme underway A NEW initiative that aims to help stop residents and visitors falling foul of their most loyal friends has been launched by Chichester District Council.

It is encouraging dog walkers to get behind its Green Dog Walkers scheme, a community-led programme to reduce dog fouling and promote responsible dog ownership across the district, as part of the council’s Against Litter campaign.

By signing up, dog owners are agreeing to always clean up after their dog and put the bag in a bin or take it home with them; as well as taking a friendly approach to encourage other dog walkers to do the same.

Those who sign up will receive a pack, including a special badge and car window sticker to show that they are part of the Green Dog Walkers scheme.

Green Dog Walkers is intended to be a friendly and non-confrontational approach to changing attitudes to the problem of dog fouling.

Cllr John Connor, cabinet member for the environment at Chichester District Council said: "Failing to clean up after your dog is unacceptable. Dog fouling is one of our top environmental priorities.

“We also want to remind dog owners that you can put dog bags in a dog or litter bin, and even your waste bin at home, so there really isn’t an excuse."

Veterinary surgery AlphaPet has clinics in Chichester and Birdham and is backing the scheme. Nicola Bulbeck from AlphaPet Veterinary Clinics says: “We like to promote responsible dog ownership and encourage local dog walkers to help look after the environment. We are really pleased to support this new scheme and look forward to sharing information about it with all of our clients.”

If you are interested in becoming a Green Dog Walker, please sign up at: chichester.gov.uk/greendogwalkers or by calling 01243 785166.

Cars are stars at yearly gala SCORES of cars gave visitors to an annual event in Bognor Regis the chance to drive into the past.

More than 180 vehicles were taken along by their proud owners to the latest A Drive Through Time motor gala.

They ranged in age from a 1927 Austin 206 to a 2009 Skoda Octavia VRS to provide plenty of interest to those at the event held by Bognor Regis Town Council in temperatures which reached 31C. One of the oldest vehicles among the motoring history in the line-up at West Park was a 1933 Austin Seven two-seat tourer owned by Pagham couple Dave and Teresa Stokes.

Mr Stokes, who is in his 60s, said: "I've always owned Austin Sevens for 25 years and I've had this car for ten years.

"I have a passion for pre-war cars. They are easy to maintain, easy to drive and relatively cheap and I get a lot of pleasure and enjoyment from driving them.

"They are relatively basic cars, especially the braking. You have to think of that well in advance but it only has a top speed of 40-45mph."

Sunday's event kept up the ever-present record of Mr and Mrs Stokes at the seven galas since it returned in its present form.

A newcomer to the current event was John Newlan, 49, of Croydon, with his 1993 Ford Orion 1.4LX. "I've been to the gala before but not since it's been here," he said.

"I've owned this car for 23 of its 25 years and there are only 25-30 left on the road

out of the 3.5m that were built.

"I've clocked up 312,000 miles in it on the original engine and been to the south of France and Ireland.

"I've always had Ford cars. These cars are ideal for everything - you can go to work in them and you can go away in them."

Three clubs were represented - Sadcase, PT Cruisers and Manhood - along with some 15 motorcycles.

A range of 20 craft and charity stalls also provided plenty of interest. Live music was provided by a selection of musicians.

The British Grand Prix was shown live on a big screen and was followed by an screening of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Town council events officer Kirsten Fitzpatrick said the event was well attended. "The kids' zone was busy with ride-on tractors, dodgems, mobile laser tag and many more attractions, including Zaz the Clown and his big top.

"The atmosphere around the big screen for the grand prix was electric and very verbal as it was a great race," she said.

"I think the intense heat of the day may have become too much for many spectators as the screening of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang had very low numbers."

The winning entries were: Best clubstand car: PT Cruisers; Best clubstand bike: Classic mopeds; Best car: Morris 1000 GUN 249D; Best vintage car: Bentley UC 4429; Best modern car: Aston Martin J44 RGW; Best quirky: Nimrod 75 years old; Best bike: BSA 605 UXN.

` Pension rally

f Adding vintage style to the motor gala

WOMEN'S pension campaigners from around Chichester and Bognor Regis will be travelling to a regional rally tomorrow.

The Bognor and Chichester South Coast WASPI group is among those taking part in the major event in Southampton.

They will be among nine groups from the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) movement which will be joining in the march from the civic centre to the West Quay shopping centre in Above Bar Street, where they will arrive at midday.

Jill Robertson, founder of Bognor and Chichester South Coast WASPI, said: "Participating groups are part of a national network campaigning for fair transitional payments for women born in the 1950s who have had their state pension age raised by as much as six years with little, or no, notice.

"Many have suffered severe hardship as a result, affecting not only women but their families too."

` Hospital's party

f A selection of the cars which enthralled visitors

FORMER Butlin's Redcoat and Britain's Got More Talent TV presenter, Stephen Mulhearn, joined the Butlin's team to bring magic and fun to a hospital party.

Butlin's Redcoats travelled from Bognor Regis and its two other resorts to attend the event at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The circus-themed event was a summer treat for patients and their siblings with a mix of seaside fairground stalls and fun activities.

Awards given to top Scouting members SHOCKED Nathan Bilham received Scouting’s top honour at the movement’s big night in Bognor Regis.

Nathan was presented with the Queen’s Scout Award in recognition of his work and dedication.

He is one of only three Scouts in the county to receive the award so far this year.

Only four were honoured during 2017.

Tsunami Explorer Scout Nathan, 18, who is also a Scout Leader with the 2nd Bognor Group, said: “I’m quite ecstatic about gaining the award.

"I knew I had gained it but I was shocked to be presented with it tonight. I’m going to enjoy wearing it.”

Nathan, a woodworking student at Chichester College, has been involved with Scouting since he was six.

“It give us you so many opportunities, gets you out of your comfort zone and you meet new people," he said.

He is about to attend a camp in Holland after having been to France in 2017.

The presentation was carried out by Matthew Pike, Scouting’s deputy county commissioner for programmes.

“The Queen’s Scout Award is the pinnacle of our youth programme,” he said. “It’s on a par with the gold award in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme. It takes a lot of commitment to complete this award.”

To qualify for the award, a Scout must spend 18 nights away, of which 12 must be camping and take part in one of five challenge activities.

Six activities from the international, community and values list such as developing Scouting in an area and taking part in a project at a campsite abroad must also be completed.

Nathan’s presentation ended the latest annual meeting of the Bognor Regis and District Scouts.

District chairman Ken Poupart said “We continue to grow and the movement continues to flourish in our town. During the past year, a new group, 2nd Felpham, has started in the community building in North Bersted.

“Whilst only a Beaver colony at present, it has great potential. We just need the leaders to help us, and this year we have been lucky to recruit a number, but more are always needed.”

He said the number of Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts around the district was upwards of 600.

New District Commissioner Vicki Goodland said she was committed with her new Deputy District Commissioner, Chris Boreham, to making Bognor Regis the friendliest and most forward-thinking district in the county.

“I hope you will all help along the way to make this happen. I cannot express how much all the time you give to Scouting can impact on the lives of the young people in our care. We can change lives,” she said.

Her first presentations of the night saw the awards for the top Beaver go to Alfie Aquah, top Cub to Jessie Kempson and best Scout to Ella Drumbell.

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.

Alfie, seven, of 1st Middleton-on-Sea, said: “I’m excited to win the award. I like Scouting because I do a lot of activities.”

2nd Bognor Regis member Jessie, 10, said: “I like taking part in all the camps, spending time with my friends and doing new jobs. I’m quite proud of myself for winning the award.

Ella, 11, of 1st Middleton-on-Sea, said: “I like all the activities we do and making new friends. I love camping the most. I get to sleep outside in a tent and cook my own dinner.”

The Young Leader of the Year was chosen as Lucy Budge, of 2nd Bognor Cubs, and the Explorer of the Year was Marnie Lord, of Tsunami ESU. The night also saw the first presentation of the Bill Robinson Memorial Trophy, pictured below, for the best entertainment. Named after a former district commissioner, it dates from 1937 as the Bognor District Scouts' athletics trophy from 1937.

Bath time for Birds It’s not just plants that thrive in gardens, birds love them – and they love them even more when there’s a birdbath to visit.

Water helps keep a bird’s body cool both from the inside and outside. Offering water in your garden will attract more birds than just those looking for food, since birds that would not normally visit feeders can be tempted by water features Birds fly to birdbaths for the water they need -- for drinking and for grooming – and whilst they are there they will hunt for the insects, worms, seeds and flower parts they like to eat. In the process they will help aerate the soil, help tidy up dead plant material and help keep plants healthy as they devour pests.

The best birdbaths are normally shallow with sloping sides, rather than deep pools of water. The shallow pitch lets smaller birds wade in, where they can stand up and clean their feathers instead of having to jump in.

Leave plenty of open space around the birdbath as well, so that birds can see any predators from far off. Also, place the birdbath near a perch of some sort, such as a small open tree or on a trellis or arbor. That lets birds scan the horizon from high up before swooping in to the bath.

The simplest birdbath is a terracotta plant pot saucer with some small stones – and is very easy to make yourself.

Just grab a large terracotta plant pot and saucer, some all-purpose glue for outside use and some rounded stones (about the size of a plum). Turn the pot upside down and scrub the base clean. Then apply a generous layer of waterproof glue to the base. Place the saucer on the base of the pot, settling it into the glue. Leave it for 24 hours to ensure that the glue dries thoroughly.

Place the birdbath in a suitable spot, add some stones so birds can perch to drink and then add some fresh, clean water.

The pebbles also provide an escape

route for honeybees that are frequent visitors to bird baths as they need water to regulate temperature within the colony on hot summer days.

If pots and containers are just part of your outside space then here are some gardening tips for this month from the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) • Water tubs and plants, but be waterwise • Hoe any sun loving weeds • Place conservatory plants outside now that it is warm • Deadhead plants to ensure continuous flowering • Keep ponds topped up and clear of algae • Order catalogues for next year’s spring-flowering bulbs • Give the lawn a quick-acting summer feed and mow regularly • Give outside woodwork a lick of paint or preserver, while the weather is dry

PROGRESS by Sussex Police in tackling crime and supporting victims has been put under the spotlight.

The recruitment of more police officers, investment in community investigation teams and funding for community projects were among the initiatives included in an annual report to the Sussex Police and Crime Panel.

The report was presented by Sussex police and crime commissioner Katy Bourne. "It looks at the progress made against the policing and crime priorities," she said, "strengthening local policing, working with communities and partners, protecting vulnerable people and improving access to justice for victims and witnesses."

The panel meeting at which she gave the report also included questions from the public about the police's link with rural communities, questions about doorstep sellers and about f Having funconcerns in the big artcars tent driving on pavements.

Got One of These?

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

“Oh no!! How did I let this happen?”

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

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

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

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

THey realised there might be a correlation!

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

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

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

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

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

Lost 1.5 Inches From Her Tummy In Just Two Treatments!

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

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

I just hated the way it looked in my clothes.

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

And that’s saying something at 50 years old!

Success of college's graduates celebrated f An M&S employee helps the Aldingbourne Trust

Store staff lend helping hands STORE staff swopped checkouts for cakes when they helped at the Aldingbourne Country Centre.

Employees of the Marks & Spencer stores in Chichester spent a day at the centre to help the work of its operator, the Aldingbourne Trust, to assist peple with learning disabilities to have the same opportunities as everyone else to live independent lives.

One set of workers baked mouthwatering brownies alongside the people the trust supports and potted plants in the horticulture department.

The other team, consisting of just two people, tackled the mammoth

task of painting the centre's rugwash cabin in 30 degree heat.

Debbie Wells, the trust's external communications officer, said: "We are truly blessed so many organisations want to come and spend the day with us and help with the never-ending list of jobs to be done.

"The difference teams like Marks & Spencer make has a huge impact on everyone in the trust."

One of the M&S employees involved said: "It was wonderful to be able to work with everyone and be useful.

"What an exciting and happy place the trust is."

GRADUATES of Chichester College had their achievements recognised at a special ceremony.

The event at Chichester Cathedral celebrated the hard work of the students who had completed their higher national certificates (HNCs), higher national diplomas (HNDs) or foundation degrees in subjects from animal management to performing arts.

The cathedral was packed with family members, college staff, governors and guests. They included Professor Catherine Harper, the deputy vice-chancellor at the University of Chichester, who gave

an inspiring speech and presented certificates. Emily Boyce achieved an HND in equine management and is going on to the Royal Agricultural University to complete her top up degree.

She said: "It's been a lot of hard work but definitely worth it - especially being able to come here to celebrate and enjoy the day. We've had a lot of support from our lecturers, who have pushed us and helped us to achieve the best of our abilities."

Amy Allan graduated with an HNC in performing arts (acting) and paid tribute to her lecturers. "They've given me so much support and helped me to grow

into the person I am today," she said.

Shelagh Legrave, chief executive of the Chichester College Group, led the ceremony, which started a procession of college staff and dignitaries.

"We are always so proud to celebrate and honour the hard work and achievements of our new graduates. They have all put in so much effort into reaching this point and have demonstrated an enormous amount of dedication, commitment and passion for their subjects," she said.

During the ceremony, Sussex Snowdrop Trust co-founder Diana Leventine was awarded an honorary fellowship.

MARY SHELLEY, writer of Frankenstein, was the product of radical parents — Mary Wollstonecraft (A Vindication of the Rights of Woman) and William Godwin, the political philosopher who advocated the abolition of marriage. Mary (Elle Fanning) discovers that, in an unjust society, she must seize what matters to her, and which she does, taking up with the notquite-famous-yet Percy Bysshe Shelley (Douglas Booth) in genteel poverty in an estate outside Geneva, the two bound together by a natural chemistry and progressive ideas. Lord Byron, the estate owner, challenges his entourage to write a ghost story. But will Mary get her due recognition for conceiving this most enduring story?

Like so many icons, Studio 54, the epicentre of New York clubbing, burned bright but not for long, and was the epitome of glamorous disco chic. It lasted 33 months from April, 1977, and entered modern mythology. Co-founder Ian Schrager had never spoken much publicly of the club until agreeing to this documentary. The result is a fittingly fab story of the haunt of Mick Jagger, David Bowie and a white horse.

In the Fade, a German political-courtroom-revenge thriller, features powerhouse work by Diane Kruger, who won best actress prize at Cannes as Katja, a young Hamburg woman married to Nuri (Numan Acar), a former drug-dealer and excon who now runs a successful business as a translator and tax adviser to the city's Turkish community.

her life when her family are killed, Katja is taken through bewildering courtroom proceedings where her quest for revenge really begins.

The Bookshop’s heroine is Florence Green (Emily Mortimer), a war widow who opens a bookshop in a 1950s Suffolk seaside town and stirs up the staid lives of the locals. Florence's enterprise brings her in direct conflict with Violet (Patricia Clarkson), a socialite who has designs on the property. When Florence stocks Vladimir Nabokov's controversial Lolita, will anyone back her? Under the veneer of gentility beats a subversive heart. Also starring Bill Nighy.

Hailed as a masterpiece of 21st century dance, Giselle has been reimagined by celebrated choreographer Akram Khan with the English National Ballet with Tamara Rojo in the title role (3pm, July 15).

The 27th Chichester International Film Festival will reveal its 150+ film wares from July 20, the 21-day festival, the largest on the south coast, opening with three open air screenings in Priory Park, Chichester, on August 3, 4 and 5 and at four other venues from August 9–26.

WORLD PREMIERE PERFORMANCE BY THE LONDON SYMPHONIA The Chichester Assembly Rooms - Saturday 28th July 2018

PINK FLOYD’s legendary album ‘Wish You Were Here’ has recently been arranged for Chamber Orchestra by the celebrated orchestral arranger - Rick Lawrence.

Rick is well known for his stunning arrangements of The Dark Side Of The Moon, Tubular Bells and Wish You Were Here which have all been released on CD and Vinyl by local record label CODA Records. The CODA albums have proved immensely popular and the Rick Lawrence versions of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here for Chamber Orchestra are now firm favourites with Pink Floyd fans the world over. As a result both albums have become huge sellers on amazon.co.uk.

Following the success of The Dark Side of The Moon suite Coda Records commissioned Mr. Lawrence to make a new arrangement of Wish You Were Here for Chamber Orchestra and it is fitting therefore that the new work should receive its world premiere concert performance in Chichester.

The World Concert Premiere Concert of Wish You Were Here takes place at The Chichester Assembly Rooms on Saturday 28th July at 7.30pm when Wish You Were Here and other Floyd classics will be performed by The London Symphonia conducted by John Crockford.

Health & Wellbeing

by Denise Kelly

Homeopathic remedies can stop world spinning around I AM NOT professing to be an expert in homeopathy, but I do know that when I test patients to check their health issues, sometimes homeopathic remedies will be specifically recommended for certain conditions, and they can be highly effective.

One of the things I have found homeopathic pills helpful for is dizziness. Dizziness is a term used to describe a range of sensations, such as feeling faint, woozy, weak or unsteady.

Dizziness that creates the false sense you or your surroundings are spinning or moving is called vertigo. Frequent dizzy spells or constant dizziness can significantly affect your life. But, in my experience, dizziness rarely signals a life-

threatening condition.

Dizziness has many possible causes, including inner ear disturbance, motion sickness and medication effects. Sometimes it's caused by an underlying health condition, such as poor circulation, infection or injury.

The way dizziness makes you feel and your triggers provide clues for possible causes. How long the dizziness lasts and any other symptoms you have also help pinpoint the cause.

Your sense of balance depends on the combined input from the various parts of your sensory system. These include: • Eyes, which help you determine where your body is in space and how it's moving; • Sensory nerves, which send messages to your brain about body movements and positions.

• Inner ear, which houses sensors that help detect gravity and back-and-forth motion.

Vertigo is the false sense that your surroundings are spinning or moving. With inner ear disorders, your brain receives signals from the inner ear that aren't consistent with what your eyes and sensory nerves are receiving. Vertigo is what results as your brain works to sort out the confusion.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) - This condition causes an intense and brief but false sense that you're spinning or moving. These episodes are triggered by a rapid change in head movement, such as when you turn over in bed, sit up or experience a blow to the head. BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo.

Infection - A viral infection of the vestibular nerve, called vestibular neuritis, can cause intense, constant vertigo. If you also have sudden hearing loss, you may have labyrinthitis.

Meniere's disease - This disease involves the

excessive build up of fluid in your inner ear. It's characterised by sudden episodes of vertigo lasting as long as several hours. You may also experience fluctuating hearing loss, ringing in the ear and the feeling of a plugged ear.

Migraine - People who experience migraines may have episodes of vertigo or other types of dizziness even when they're not having a severe headache.

Such vertigo episodes can last minutes to hours and may be associated with headache as well as light and noise sensitivity.

Circulation problems that cause dizziness - You may feel dizzy, faint or off balance if your heart isn't pumping enough blood to your brain. Causes include: drop in blood pressure and poor blood circulation.

Other causes of dizziness can include neurological conditions, medications, anxiety disorders, low iron, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and overheating and dehydration.

The top three homeopathic remedies to use for dizziness are: Belladonna 200 - Belladona is a leading homeopathic medicine for treating dizziness and

Lifestyle 27

vertigo when the condition worsens with every change of position.

The person may show the tendency to fall to the left side or backwards. Vertigo can also be accompanied by an acute headache and the patient usually gets some relief by applying pressure or binding the head. The body may also experience excessive heat.

Homeopathic medicine belladona is extremely beneficial for treating acute vertigo. Belladonna is effective for vertigo because of cervical spondylitis.

Gelsemium 200 - Gelsemium is the top homeopathic medicine for treating vertigo when extreme dizziness is linked with dim vision and heaviness of eyelids.

Vertigo may pose a difficulty in walking with a loss of balance. Gelsemium is one of best natural remedies for dizziness when the patient feels extreme vertigo with dim vision and heavy eyelids. Gelsemium is effective for vertigo because of cervical spondylitis.

China 30 - China is another good homeopathic medicine for vertigo patients after loss of blood or after loss of fluids as in diarrhea.

Vertigo because of anaemia is best cured with the use of this homeopathic medicine. If you feel very weak, dizzy and walking too is proving to be very difficult, the homeopathic remedy China will help in compensating the loss of body fluids and treating vertigo.

Sizzling weather makes these wines hot choice Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys martin.lury@me.com

IN THIS balmy weather, if a barbecue is your wont, then Machin is your man - Chichester's own Gordon (not Alf ) Ramsay with his array of fine utensils and culinary prowess and so it had to be a soirée foot chez Lynne and Paul resulting in celebration, gourmandise and jolly fine company!

The hosts proceeded to point me in the direction of Asda in downtown Selsey as my next featured purveyor of wine.

This week I vowed to explore mainly entry- level wines and was thus delighted to espy a Winemaker's Choice SemillonSauvignon from New South Wales in Australia at the very low price of just £4.18 and found that this wine exceeded my admittedly rather low expectations

and proved to be very quaffable - an easy-drinking wine with flavours of citrus and passion fruit.

I next decided to examine two New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs as they were both priced under £6.50.

In fact, the 2017 Kiwi Cove Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is on offer for a miserly £6 and is a slightly sharp, but fruity example with gooseberry to the fore.

For just £6.48, the 2017 Extra Special Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc also oozes gooseberry, but is more perfumed and a little more subtle.

My final white wine selection was an Extra Special 2017 Gavi priced at just under £7, sporting lemon and floral notes and being crisp and dry with hints of peach culminating in a nutty finish - a decent enough Gavi at this price!

In terms of reds, I was able to procure a Winemaker's Choice Valle Central of Chilean provenance for a bargain £4.18.

Chilean wine sometimes goes under the radar and this one is perfectly palatable with plum and cherry flavours and undoubtedly would complement slow cooked beef.

For an outlay of just five readies, the 2016 Étoile de Nuit Cabernet

Sauvignon Vin de France is no worldbeater, but is fairly smooth with blackcurrant flavours to the fore and should not offend!

Furthermore, for the same price, a 2017 Luis Felipe Edwards Reserva Merlot made from premium grapes grown in the

Colchagua Valley in Chile and aged using a mixture of French and American oak is a very good buy and a rather splendidly smooth Merlot!

My final selection was that of a 2015 Extra Special Fleurie at the lofty price of £7.98.

Vivid crimson red in colour with a mulberry and blueberry nose and a hint of framboise, the smooth soft tannins and fresh acidity add to the elegance of this Beaujolais wine and it is indubitably my wine of the week and one you should definitely try!

Community News & Views TWO POLICE officers have been recognised for tackling an armed man in Chichester.

PC Michael Sedley and PC Stuart Murray, pictured below with Sussex Police Chief Constable Giles York, were given a chief constable's commendation award for their calm and collective manner during the volatile incident.

Their outstanding contribution was praised at the annual awards ceremony for West Sussex held by Sussex Police last week. The occasion was held at Arundel Castle.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said PC Sedley and PC Murray 'attended a report of a violent incident in Chichester and on arrival they were confronted by a man with a knife'.

"Despite one of the officers being injured by the knife, the pair disarmed the man and, with the help of another crew, the suspect was arrested. The suspect pleaded guilty to a number of offences and was given a custodial sentence."

Other award recipients came from across the county to acknowledge the achievements of their colleagues and members of the public. The presentations were made by the High Sheriff of West Sussex, Caroline Nicholls, Chief Constable York and Sussex police and commissioner Katy Bourne.

After the ceremony, West Sussex Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendent Jerry Westerman, said: "I am extremely proud of the staff and officers on West Sussex division and the dedication and professionalism they deliver to achieve excellent public service on a day to day basis.

"This ceremony acknowledges the commitment of our staff, officers and volunteers to achieve the best outcomes for the communities they serve and bring offenders to justice.

"We have also recognised members of the public whose quick thinking and selfless actions have made a positive difference to others."

Sir, I just feel I have to take the time to thank a number of people who helped me on Friday, June 29, lunchtime in Chichester.

My husband and I had travelled from Wales to be at our grandson's grandparents morning at school and their sports day in the afternoon.

After a lovely morning at the school, my husband and I went for a light lunch in Chichester and had to return to the car, which was parked in a small car park down a side road opposite Marks and Spencer.

Unfortunately, returning from the car park, we went through the gate into the street, and I had a nasty fall, not seeing the bad hole between the paving. I am 67 years old and it really was a nasty fall.

I would like through your paper to thank firstly the young gentleman that stopped straight away to ask if we needed an ambulance. He helped my husband get me to my feet to check if I could put weight on my leg and foot.

A young lady,who had a baby in a pram, had seen me fall and gone to M&S to get a bottle of water and the chemist for some dressings for my wounds. She would accept no payment.

An older couple stopped to see if they could give us a lift to the hospital or anywhere and even a teenage boy stopped to ask if we needed any help or if he could do anything for us.

I would like to thank all these wonderful people for showing a caring attitude and it’s because of people like this we retain our faith in humanity.

Needless to say I couldn’t make it to my grandson’s sports day.

"We wish the students the very best of luck with their studies."

The company's previous backing for the college has included sponsoring three awards at the college's construction prize giving in June, 2107.

Warren Guildford, who is the study programme leader for level 2 carpentry at the college, said: "I would like to thank Covers for its continued support in assisting our students in their studies.

"There were also another eight runners who did a virtual run where they live."

Peter took part along most of the circular route from Arundel Cricket Club.

"So many people have helped me get this run started and put together. I did not think I had so many wonderful friends," he said.

Peter's birthday was in midJanuary but he decided to hold the run in the summer so conditions were better.

RESIDENTS living in flats and shared houses around Bognor Regis are being encouraged to recycle more.

Monday saw the start of an initiative which makes it easier to avoid throwing away waste which can be given a new use.

The residents will be among the 8,000 in West Sussex who will receive new communal recycling bins and information packs.

It is hoped this will help overcome the barriers which can make recycling hard when space is limited or a person is new to an area. This often means recycling rates for flats and shared houses can be a lot lower than for other properties.

Information packs, which include a free reusable bag to collect recycling, will be delivered to relevant properties.

Cllr Deborah Urquhart, West Sussex County Council's cabinet member for environment, said: "Following on from the awardwinning houses of multiple occupancy recycling project in 2016, we've seen a big improvement in recycling quality and rates by flats and shared houses that were involved.

"With such an improvement, it makes perfect sense for us to roll this out to more flats and shared households across the county, so that more people can boost their recycling.

"The see-through recycling bins and updated recycling information will help to improve how much waste is recycled by individuals and will ultimately help us to reach our target of 50 per cent of all household waste being recycled by 2020."

The approach was piloted in 2016 to tackle historic difficulties in increasing and improving recycling rates and the quality of the items recycled from flats and communal properties. This was shown to improve residents' recycling rates by 94 per cent.

The initiative started in Crawley and has moved to Arun District Council for six weeks. Other areas which will also benefit from the scheme will be Chichester, Mid-Sussex, Adur and Worthing.

Arun District Council's cabinet member for neighbourhood services, Cllr Paul Wotherspoon, said: "The council is delighted to see this partnership initiative rolled out to a greater number of flats and houses of multiple occupancy in the district.

"After the success of the pilot scheme, we are confident that the communal bins and information packs will lead to an increase in recycling rates and an improvement in the quality of materials collected.

During the six weeks, teams will visit certain flats across the district and answer residents' questions about recycling.

NURSES have been recognised for their work in improving nursing in special educational needs schools in West Sussex.

The Children's and Young People's Community Nursing Service were crowned the winners of this year's RCNi child health award in London last week.

The awards are run by the subsidiary of the Royal College of Nursing as the most prestigious nursing accolades in the UK to highlight the work of nurses who provide outstanding care and transform nursing for the better.

Trudy Ward and her nursing team, pictured above, were shortlisted from more than 700 entries. They were chosen by judges for developing a tool to improve the poor access to nursing care of 1,500 children and young people who attend special educational needs schools in West Sussex.

The impact of the team's work is shown by the increase in nursing support from two to ten nurses in these schools. The team is also working with NHS England to spread the use of the tool to four other areas.

Trudy said: "I feel very proud of myself and the team to have received an RCNi Award. The award means an awful lot for the community and the schools that we serve."

RCNi managing director Rachel Armitage said it was overjoyed to honour the nursing team for its hard work.

"They are a magnificent example of nurses who have gone above and beyond in their specialism," she said.

70 years of the NHS at St Richard's Hospital

By Denise Meeson, Volunteer at The Novium Museum CHICHESTER has had a long history of caring for the sick and elderly dating back to the 12th century, when the leper Hospital of St James and Mary Magdalene was founded at Westhampnett at the end of (Ho)Spital Fields Lane.

Other hospitals, which were all supported by voluntary contributions, such as St Mary's and Bartholomew’s, were established in the city over time. By the 1930s, medical care in the district was managed by West Sussex County Council in a variety of medical institutions catering for different patient needs. These included Graylingwell Mental Hospital, Zachary Merton Maternity Home and the Royal West Sussex Hospital, which provided acute medical and surgical care.

In 1937, the county council decided to build St Richard’s Hospital as a long-stay hospital for the ‘elderly and infirm’. The hospital had only just opened when the Second World War broke out and the Government declared it an Emergency Medical Service General Hospital.

Ten new wards in huts were added, taking the capacity to 594 beds, as well as the addition of an operating theatre in order to cope with the influx of war casualties.

After the establishment of the National Health Service (NHS) 70 years ago on July 5, 1948, St Richard’s was administered by the Chichester Hospital Management Committee. The NHS was set up in order to provide healthcare for all, no matter your background or material wealth. For the first time hospitals, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, opticians and dentists were brought together under one umbrella to provide services for free at the point of delivery.

After the launch of the NHS, St Richard’s began to develop a much wider range of services, reflecting the determination of its staff to keep at the forefront of ongoing medical advances. Casualty, X-ray, pathology, obstetrics, physiotherapy, paediatrics and coronary care were all accommodated within the existing buildings. As funds allowed, new buildings were constructed to house a post graduate medical centre, accident and emergency as well as outpatient and maternity departments in the late 1960s. Following this came the neurological rehabilitation unit (Donald Wilson House) and new intensive care and coronary units in 1975-77.

In the mid-1970s, St Richard’s entered a more difficult period as it was, like all areas of the NHS, subject to a series of reforms, reorganisations and cost controls directed by successive governments.

These were brought about by the need to manage the NHS budget at a time when medical knowledge and technology had expanded greatly, and more and more people were expecting increased services. Although capital spending was halted, the range of services offered by the hospital continued to grow.

St Richard’s had a good reputation, especially through its postgraduate education facilities, and attracted consultants in developing fields such as gerontology (the study of ageing) and rehabilitation to the hospital. By 1994, there were 26 specialities available.

Despite the difficulties, St Richard’s achieved NHS Trust status in 1994, when it became West Sussex NHS Trust, and it entered another

Over the years St Richard’s has been recognised many times for its high standards and the quality of treatment and care it provides.

Most recently, in 2016, it was rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission

period of rapid expansion. A new larger building containing wards, physiotherapy and operating theatres, was opened in 1996 and then in 2008 Donald Wilson House was replaced with a new environmentally friendly building. Construction also began on a new cancer day care centre (the Fernhurst Centre).

St Richard’s survived the threat of possible downsizing or closure as part of the NHS Strategic Authority’s ‘Fit for the Future’ proposal which ended in 2009, amid widespread public opposition to the proposals and strong support for the hospital.

Shortly after this, it joined with Worthing and Southlands (Shoreham-by-Sea) hospitals to become Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust, and subsequently, in July, 2013, it became an NHS Foundation Trust.

Foundation trusts are controlled and run locally with the involvement of local people, patients and staff members who can help decide how best to spend the trust’s income, taking into account the needs of the local community.

Over the years, St Richard’s has been recognised many times for its high standards

and the quality of treatment and care it provides. Most recently, in 2016, it was rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, one of only seven acute trusts in the country to receive the health watchdog’s highest rating.

Expansion of services has not slowed, with recent improvements including a new children’s ward in 2011 and the Chichester Treatment Centre for day care patients in 2013.

The hospital now has a staff of around 2,500 and approximately 430 beds.

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the NHS, The Novium Museum and West Sussex Records Office are hosting special displays.

The Novium Museum display focuses on locum surgeon Betty Underhill, who worked at St Richard’s Hospital in the late 1970s and features some of her medical equipment. West Sussex Record Office is currently hosting a display which will run until August 10, which features a selection of original documents, exhibition panels about the history of the NHS, and many copies of photographs from the archives.

They provide activities such as Art & Crafts, sewing, knitting, music, drama, boxing, yoga, indoor and outdoor sports, cooking, gardening and regular trips out and about in the local community. A volunteer would be appreciated to help support adults with learning disabilities on a Friday morning, from 9.30am till 12 noon. The role would involve supporting existing friendly staff to help with a proposed art group, where “hand over hand” help would be appreciated. They are looking for someone with good communication skills and a friendly disposition who enjoys helping people and being able to make a difference to the lives of vulnerable people.

Fundraising Assistant – CPRE Sussex CPRE Sussex exists to promote the beauty, tranquillity and diversity of rural Sussex by encouraging the sustainable use of land and other natural resources in town and country. They monitor the planning system to identify inappropriate development proposals, which they then oppose, and campaign for the better protection and enhancement of the countryside, including the natural environment, wildlife etc. They are looking for volunteers to help them to raise funds in your area and more widely to support their work in campaigning to protect the Sussex countryside from inappropriate change and development. This may involve organising local fundraising events or applying for funding grants for new projects. The role is key to the success of the organisation as much of their work

requires regular income to be generated to pay for the work of their staff and experienced and skilled volunteers.

Support for a Forest School experience for adults with learning disability – Workers Educational Association (WEA) The Workers Educational Association (WEA) are looking for volunteers to support this course which will give approx. 8 adults with a learning disability the opportunity to experience the activities of a forest school. A variety of achievable activities will be available, including fire lighting, cooking over an open fire, woodland art and craft making, shelter/building and observing nature. The opportunity will enable the volunteer to see how the group can develop skills and play their part in helping the group achieve. The volunteer/s should have an interest in enabling people with a learning disability to achieve their maximum within their chosen interests. No previous experience is required as long as the person feels they can empathise with vulnerable adults.

Volunteer Host – Contact the Elderly Contact the Elderly is a national charity whose aim is to relieve the loneliness and isolation felt by elderly people living alone. Hosts are volunteers who would like to provide afternoon tea, sandwiches and cakes for up to 10 lonely elderly people. The meetings take place in the host’s own home on the 3rd Sunday of each month, from 3 to 5pm. While meetings take place monthly, it is unlikely that the volunteer host would be asked to hold a meeting more than once a year. You will need a good heart, a large tea pot, space for 10 guests in a ground floor room and a down stairs toilet.

Triples all round! Players roll up to PostSport Infinity's short mat bowls contest BOWLERS from across the south of England flocked to a village just outside Chichester for a fierce afternoon of indoor sporting action.

While many people were enjoying the great outdoors, teams from West Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey assembled at Boxgrove Village Hall to battle against each other in the annual Infinity Short Mat Bowls Club triples competition.

Played on a mat just over a metre wide and 12 metres long, players had to roll their bowls up to a marked point in a bid to register points The game is designed to be accessible, not weather dependent, and a cheaper form of sport to the outdoor game, which requires manicured lawns.

After a few hours of good competition, none of the home team made it through to the final.

Instead, the last match saw the North End team of Martin Grange, Lorraine Shorney and Andrew Shorney defeating Wendy Ford, Ian Ford and Martin Dubb from Portsdown on the last end by one shot.

The Infinity squad did not have to wait long to show their form, though.

On Sunday, seven of their players travelled to Tamworth to play in the English Short Mat

Bowlers Association Top Team competition.

They won seven out of eight games finishing second in their group. They now qualify to play in Torquay next May. Infinity are always looking to welcome new players to the club. Formed in 2010, the club practice every Tuesday from 7.30pm. * In the outdoor form of the game, Bognor Men’s A team played Norfolk in the West Sussex Division One league. They won on one rink and drew one, and lost two, scoring three league points. The best performance was from M Conolly, D Parker, G Stevens and A Richardson who won 15-13.

Bognor A made up for that loss with victory in a close match against Tarring Priory. After winning the overall score by one shot, Bognor A came away with six points In Division Two, Bognor B played Crablands and won on two rinks but lost overall 72-83, scoring four points.

They returned to action on Monday, defeating local rivals Pagham 86-71 overall to take six league points.

Next up, Bognor A welcome Worthing Pavilion A to Waterloo Square on Sunday (2pm).

DARTS: Micky Rowland threw just 28 darts - which included a 111 out shot - as he inspired his Friary Z side to a convincing win over Claremont in week eight of the Bognor Summer Darts League.

DIVISION ONE - Hunston Hares 11 Friary D 7; The Legends 10 Newtown Amity 8; Friary Z 13 Claremont 5; Lords Legends - bye.

Saxon Warrior heads Glorious festival list

f The mighty Frankel won consecutive Sussex Stakes

THE CREME de la creme of the racing world will flock to Goodwood for this year's festival.

With just three weeks until Glorious, preparations for the five-day event from July 31 to August 4 are already well underway.

The highlight of many people's week will be the £1 million Qatar Sussex Stakes which takes place on the Wednesday and is one of the world's leading mile races.

There is a cosmopolitan feel to the entries, with 46 horses from five countries including Australia and the USA, put forward for the event.

Among them is Australia’s top sprinter, Redkirk Warrior, and fellow Royal Ascot contender Yoshida, who is trained by legendary American handler Bill Mott.

Britain and Ireland’s reigning champion trainer, Aidan O’Brien, a winner of the Sussex race five times, has 14 of the entries, with 2,000 Guineas hero Saxon Warrior and threetime Group 1 winner Rhododendron among them. All the entries will have to go some way

to emulate the success of previous winners, who include the legendary Frankel, who won the 2011 and 2012 races.

The other days of racing are equally highquality. British Classic winners Forever Together and Billesdon Brook feature among 20 fillies and mares entered for the £600,000 Group 1 Qatar Nassau Stakes, the highlight of the Thursday programme.

Other exciting three-year-olds among the Qatar Nassau Stakes entries include Sea Of Class (William Haggas), unbeaten this season after two impressive Listed victories at Newbury, and Veracious (Sir Michael Stoute), a daughter of Frankel and third in the Coronation Stakes.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, in the £500,000 Group One Goodwood Cup, there will be a tasty re-match as defending champion Stradivarius (John Gosden) and Vazirabad (Alain de Royer-Dupre) face-off just over a month after only being separated by threequarters of a length in Ascot Gold Cup.

ATHLETICS: On a very hot weekend, the Tone Zone runners turned out in force at various different races, the Serpent Ultra, Round the Island 70miler and the Portchester 10k.

The Serpent Ultra was going to be a tough race with 31 miles of off road running. The searing heat made it even harder with training essential.

Neil Strudwick was one runner who had been training tremendously hard.

Even though he did take a wrong turn and run an extra mile, Strudwick finished his third ultra marathon in under 6 hours 50 minutes.

Grace Natoli didn’t mind the heat too much, but that may be because she was enjoying the watermelon that was being handed out. She finished in 7:14, while Cheryl Laing (7:32) and Denise SadlerMoznabi (8:14) also completed the race.

Also running at the Serpent event was Natalie King, who ran the half marathon in 3:17.

Just across the sea at the Isle of Wight were Paul Coe and Chris Dummer, running around the island in two days - 39 miles on the first and 31 on the second. The pair did extremely well to complete the race, Coe in nine hours for day one and 6:51 for day two while Dummer stopped the clock on 9:42 and 8:43.

A race a little closer to home was the Portchester Castle 10k. The four runners from the club were Pater Ramsdale, Jessica Thomson, Michael Manwill and Adam Norgett.

Despite having to run slightly further than expected, Thomson was the second female to complete the course in 48 minutes. Manwill was the next runner in club colours across the line just under 50 minutes. Ramsdale finished in the hour mark. Norgett ended up running a further 1.2 miles because of a mistake by the marshals sending him the wrong way. He still finished in a respectable time of 1:06.

Pagham move on after a late run-out seals dramatic draw

f Lee Hurrell with Chi boss Aaron Smith

Ladies hurry to add Hurrell CHICHESTER City Ladies are fit and raring to go for the new season with a new coaching duo in the dugout.

It's been a summer of real progress for the Oaklands Park side with the team confirmed as founder members of the FA Women's National League.

With their status in the third tier of the women's game, Chi have also appointed a new manager with Aaron Smith stepping up from the assistant role ahead of pre-season friendlies starting this Sunday with a home match against Southern Counties Premier side Winchester City (2pm).

That will be followed by away trips to Poole Town (July 22) and Lewes (Aug 5) before a home match against Super League Two side Tottenham Ladies (Aug 12).

Chi go into those games with a new experienced head in the dugout after former Bristol City and Brighton & Hove Albion coach Lee Hurrell was confirmed as Smith’s number two. Hurrell joins following a season as coach of the under16s at Brighton & Hove Albion Women.

The UEFA B Licence holding coach has a wealth of coaching experience in the women's

game, which also includes spells at Portsmouth Ladies and Toronto in Canada Hurrell said: "A lot of players I’ve worked with have gone on to play at the highest level, so I’ve been around that elite level of women’s football. That will also enable me to bring professionalism that into my role."

Hurrell is manager Smith's first appointment ahead of the new season in the FA Women's National League South with more new faces expected to arrive.

With a number of young players breaking into the first team, a thriving youth setup and dozens of youngsters turning out for last weekend’s club trials, there is a real feelgood factor around Oaklands Park.

Hurrell said he was looking forward to helping that develop, adding: "I believe that Chichester are well placed to progress in the game.

Although the FA have changed things, those clubs that are well run can make the step up.

You don’t necessarily have to have the backing of a big men’s club to do things. Lewes have shown that and it’s certainly possible."

PAGHAM CC will look to keep their unbeaten run going into a seventh week when they head to Roffey Seconds tomorrow (12.30pm).

Stuart Hanks' side have been in excellent form of late, winning five of their past six games to propel themselves up to third in Sussex Division Three West.

That run was continued in dramatic style last weekend when they sealed a dramatic draw with a last ball run-out against Worthing.

With the match starting early so that it did not clash with England's World Cup game with Sweden, Pagham batted first and registered an excellent score of 283 for five in their 50 overs.

The charge was led by opening batter Jack Stannard who dropped anchor and played superbly to score 112, and Ryan Barratt, who smashed an unbeaten 101 from just 85 balls.

But Worthing showed they were up to the challenge. Rico Webb (5-89) kept on pegging them back until a121-run partnership for the seventh wicket put the visitors well in reach.

Pagham kept on fighting and took the last four wickets for eight runs - including a last ball run-out - to seal the draw and keep their unbeaten run going for another week.

f Pagham are unbeaten in six games

Relegation worry for Middleton MIDDLETON CC will spend the rest of the season looking over their shoulder as their win-less run continues.

With just over half the season gone, Sean Heather's side are third bottom in the Sussex Premier Division, one place and 13 points above the drop zone.

They will look to put some breathing space between themselves and relegation when they face second-bottom Hastings & St Leonards at Sea Lane tomorrow (12pm).

Without a win in three and tomorrow's visitors winning their first in five, Middleton

know that a victory would give them great confidence into the final two months of the campaign.

If there is a bright spark it is the form of overseas player Mahesh Rawat, who scored another century in Middleton's eight-wicket loss to leaders Roffey. Batting first, the Indian was left unbeaten on 116 as Middleton were bowled out for 233.

In reply, Roffey showed why they are topof-the-table and an unbeaten stand of 160 between Jibran Khan (100*) and Rohit Jagota (86*) saw them home with eight wickets and

f Middleton host Hastings at Sea Lane tomorrow

seven overs to spare.

In Division Two, Chichester Priory Park return to their traditional home needing a much-needed win against Bexhill (12.30pm).

Skipper Jay Hartard must have thought his century (100) against Lindfield last time out had helped his side to victory. Along with 62 from Joe De La Fuente, their scoring helped Chi to 250 for 7 in 50 overs.

But the home side timed their chase beautifully, reaching the score with two balls and five wickets to spare.

That loss means Chi are now in sixth place in the ten-team division, closer to the bottom two than the top two.

Fellow Division Two side Bognor are perhaps more wary of relegation, sitting just once place above the dropzone.

They head to second-placed Mayfield tomorrow (12.30pm) to face a team which has not lost in five matches.

Ryan Maskell's side turned in perhaps their poorest performance of the season when they were defeated by third-place Haywards Heath last weekend.

After batting first, Bognor toiled in warm conditions and could only reach 115 before being dismissed with number ten Jamie Woolnough top-scoring with 29.

In reply, Joel Barker (3-15) led the charge for Maskell's side but the total was never going to be enough. Heath reached the score with three wickets in hand.

Pagham prepare for a promotion push THIRD place in the SCFL Premier, more than 100 goals scored, a cup final appearance and another semi-final place - it was a season to remember for Pagham last time out.

But hopes are high around Nyetimber Lane that the club can go one, maybe two better, and secure promotion to the Isthmian League for the first time in the club's history.

With the joint-management team of Richie Hellen and Tom Simmonds retained, the club have recruited well. Seasoned goalscorer George Gaskin and club legend Scott Murfin have joined, along with winger Hayden Hunter (East Preston), Liam Humphreys, Mitchell Hand (both Littlehampton) and Harry Williams (Chichester City).

Several players have also left the club for

various reasons including fan favourite Callum Overton. Ryan Davidson and Lloyd Rowlatt have both signed for Portsmouthbased Evo-Stik league side Moneyfields Pagham start their pre-seaon friendlies tomorrow heading to Steyning Town for a double header (1.30pm) before hosting Fareham Town on Tuesday (7.45pm). * Fellow SCFL Premier side Chichester City kick-off their pre-season friendlies tomorrow when they head to SCFL Division One side Wick (3pm). Chi, who last season reached the last 16 of the FA Vase for the first time, have a bye in the first round of that competition. But they will head to Southern Counties Premier side Bearsted in the extra preliminary round of the FA Cup on August 11 (3pm).

f Keeper Dan Lincoln is still to commit his future to Nyewood Lane

Lincoln keeps Rocks waiting as Jack places trust in Tommy Next Game

BRIGHTON U23s (H) Tuesday, 7.45pm

BOGNOR number one Dan Lincoln is keeping the Rocks waiting when it comes to committing his future to the club - but the Nye Camp faithful may soon have a new goalscorer to cheer on.

Lincoln has received rave reviews after joining the club from Reading two season ago.

But, the Berkshire-based stopper appears to be keeping his options open, before agreeing a deal to stay at Nyewood Lane - with Lincoln keen to find a side closer to his home.

With less than a month to go until the start of the season, it means Rocks manager Jack Pearce could be forced to act swiftly to ensure he has a pair of safe hands in goal.

At the other end of the pitch, the veteran manager and his first team coach, Robbie Blake, remain on the search for a striker to solve last season's goalscoring problems.

Pearce says he has a 'couple of irons in the fire' as he looks to add a frontman to lead the line and improve on Bognor's dismal scoring record last season which saw them average less than a goal every league game.

But he says he believes the club may have a goalscoring midfielder on their books already - with 19-year-old former Portsmouth academy player Tommy Scutt pencilled in for a key attacking role.

Speaking to the Post this week, Pearce said: "The one area we are weak is upfront. That was the problem last year and we will work hard to

make sure that's not the problem this year.

"We are willing to invest but it needs to be the right player."

As for a goalscoring midfielder, he added: "I have hopes that we have one already in the form of Tommy Scutt.

"He has a good thing about him and I intend to give him his chance in the pre-season friendlies. Hopefully, he will justify my faith in him."

Scutt has been among a group of about a dozen Rocks players who are well into their pre-season preparations.

With the first friendly coming next week against Brighton & Hove Albion under-23s (Tuesday, 7.45pm), a lot of the focus is on getting the squad fit and raring to go.

It has also given former Pompey coach Blake his first crack at implementing his ideas and philosophy on to the team.

Pearce said: "The focus has been on endurance work with a lot of running and small sided passing games.

"We always know where they are when the lads go quiet. When they stop talking, that's when we know that the work we are doing is having an impact on them."

The Rocks are set for a real test for the first pre-season fixture. Albion under-23s are packed full of young international players who have performed well in the age limit level of the FA Premier League.

Winning England lifts everyone MILLIONS of people have been gripped as Gareth Southgate's Three Lions side roared loud and proud in Russia.

While most have been left to cheer on the England side from the comfort of their own home, there has been at least one representative from Bognor at the World Cup. Rocks manager Jack Pearce, who is also a member of the FA board, was present at the Three Lions quarter-final against Sweden and the semi-final versus Croatia.

Despite racking up the air miles, Pearce said he was delighted to see the national team playing well on the biggest stage - adding it would have a positive impact on all levels of the game.

Pearce said: "Whenever you have a successful national team, that encourages the next generation of players which is good for all levels.

"It also has a wonderful impact on the nation - the wonderful way it brings people together and the feel-good factor it gives.

If we can produce a winning side, a young, hungry passing team with desire that wins matches, then Wembley will not be big enough to hold everyone who wants to watch them."

WITH the new season less than a month away, the Post spoke to Rocks manager Jack Pearce about how preparations for the new season are coming along.

How will the Bostik Premier compare to the National South?

The obvious thing is that Step Three should be an easier challenge. But when you are 11 against 11, there's no guarantees.

We do expect to give a good account of ourselves and we will see how we perform.

How will the disappointment of last season help the club this year?

The players will be a lot stronger for last season. I said after the last match of last season that some of them will get offers from elsewhere.

If we can keep them together then we will be a difficult team to play against.

There is one obvious area that we have been trying to improve on and that is up front. Until we get a goalscorer and attacking midfielder then we will struggle to score and win games.

How is the hunt for a striker going?

The hardest part is trying to sign forwards as everyone is after them.

It's hard to find people willing to commit at the moment but I have a couple of irons in the fire and I'm hopeful of securing someone next week.

The one area we are weak is upfront. That was the problem last year and we will work hard to make sure that's not the problem this year.

We are willing to invest but it needs to be the right player.

All I can say is that there is no one I know of in the immediate vicinity who can score goals in this division.

f Rocks manager Jack Pearce

What about finding a goalscoring midfielder?

I have hopes that we have one already in the form of Tommy Scutt.

He has a good thing about him and I intend to give him his chance in the pre-season friendlies. Hopefully, he will justify my faith in him.

Will there be any other focus in the pre-season friendlies which start next week?

Pre-season doesn't change anything. The main thing is that come Friday, August 10, we don't have too many injuries through strains.

We need to make sure the players have had enough hard work so they are physically and mentally fit for what's to come.

Results in friendlies don't count. We need to make sure they are as fit as they can be for the start of the new season What do you make of England's success at the World Cup? What impact will that have on the Rocks?

I have been saying ever since I joined the FA board 18 years ago that the most important thing is a successful national team.

Whenever you have a successful national team that encourages the next generation of players which is good for all levels.

It also has a wonderful impact on the nation - the wonderful way it brings people together and the feel-good factor it gives.

We have seen over the years the number of fans who want to watch the dross we have produced over the years.

If we can produce a winning side, a young, hungry passing team with desire that wins matches then Wembley will not be big enough to hold everyone who wants to watch them.
