Six more months of misery? BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CONFUSION surrounds work on the Stockbridge footbridge after Highways England has sent out conflicting messages. A public notice issued by the government agency stated the latest work on the A27 structure would take

place from August 10 and could last for up to six months. But a letter from one of its directors to a Chichester resident says work will be completed by August 24. The latest situation adds to the past uncertainty about the future of the footbridge. A spokesperson for Highways England said yesterday: “We are continuing to work hard to find a solution that will allow us to reopen the refurbished

Stockbridge footbridge. In the meantime, we are continuing to operate an alternative pedestrian crossing via a nearby canal underpass. We are sorry for the delay and are grateful for people’s patience and understanding.” Work on the replacement bridge began in January, 2018, with an original finish date of April but ‘unacceptable movement’ during testing in May led to engineers being called back to try to

solve the problem. Last week, Highways England published a public notice stating that work starting in mid-August will involve overnight closure between 8pm and 6am of both carriageways of the A27 between Whyke and Stockbridge roundabouts, as well as a daytime 50mph speed limit. See page three

Selsey man fights back at the council kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A SELSEY resident has told the Chichester Post that the rejection of his planning application is a kick in the teeth by Chichester District Council. As reported in last week's Chichester Post, planning permission for construction of a private gym and health club in Selsey by Kevin Byrne, previous owner of Checkatrade, was refused at its planning meeting. Mr Byrne was looking to change the part-built building but councillors refused it, saying it had not been marketed enough to know if it would work. He said: "I personally purchased about half an acre of land right next to Sherrington Mews and obtained planning for a 750 square metre building and was going to use this to expand Checkatrade. "The build started autumn last year and then in a whirlwind deal I sold Checkatrade. I managed to negotiate five year leases on the Sherrington Mews units with the new owners but understandably they weren’t going to commit renting an unfinished building. So I continued with the build. Then a few months later the new owners informed me they didn’t want the building as they were looking to relocate parts of Checkatrade to Portsmouth which sadly they have now done. "I knew I’d never get my investment back so I looked upon this building as a gift to Selsey and considered what does Selsey need. I came up with a health complex, which includes a private gym,

vegan health café, beauty salon, sports massage and physiotherapy facilities. We would offer education on nutrition and diets and alternative medicine, juicing etc. "Chichester District Council in their wisdom thought it correct to force me to leave this building empty and market it for 18 months to see if a large company wanted to rent it, and then they may change their mind if no one is found. And, of course, non-domestic rates would be charged by the council during this empty period. "I’ve lived and worked in Selsey for over 40 years, business are moving out of Selsey, not in. Just eight months ago, this was a brown field, if I wasn’t prepared to invest the money it would still be a brown unused field. Today it has the potential of providing jobs and a considerable asset to the town. "It’s a sad day for me but I don’t need the money, I was ploughing in £1.7m of my personal wealth for Selsey and its wellbeing. I’d never get that money back even if the planning was successful and the complex was successful, I was doing it for Selsey. It’s a very sad day for Selsey and its economy." Greg Smith, from Core Results in Chichester, said: "This is fairly disappointing. There seem to have been other companies in the area who have gained the same planning consent and it's quite frustrating that the district council can't help a company who can make a difference to the local area. "Chichester District Council are shortsighted. We have been trading out of Chichester for five years and we are unique, not competition. It is a new concept, a training and coaching gym."

Headteacher bids farewell to Bishop Luffa after 18 years Regulated by IMPRESS: The Independent Monitor for the Press CIC Impress, 16-18 New Bridge Street, London EC4V 6AG T 020 3325 4288 E complaints@impress.press W impress.press

PLENTY of good wishes were bestowed upon Mr Nick Taunt as he retired at the end of term after 18 years of outstanding headship from Bishop Luffa School in Chichester. Members of the board of directors, representatives of the Diocese of Chichester and local headteachers were joined by past and present staff, and members of the Parents and Friends Association, to pay tribute to Mr Taunt, who has served as only the third head of the school in its 55-year history. Nigel Hoggarth, chairman of the board of directors, said: “It has been an absolute privilege to watch Nick at work. His commitment, knowledge,

attention to detail and the standards that he sets himself and others are second to none. He personifies the school vision – ‘Always our best because everyone matters’. "Nick has fought tirelessly to maintain the breadth of curriculum that he believes is the entitlement of all our pupils and students. While many schools have been forced by financial pressures to cut back on subjects like the arts, some languages and technologies, Bishop Luffa has endeavoured to continue to offer the widest range of subject choices possible”. A book of memories and good wishes was presented on the evening.

Further delays for motorists on A27 From page one

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CONSULTANT Urological Surgeons from St Richard’s Hospital have signed up to a gruelling 100 mile bike ride in a bid to boost urology services for local patients. The challenge, which will support Love Your Hospital, the dedicated charity of Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation Trust, will aim to hit a fundraising target of £80,000 to provide new equipment to improve diagnosis of urological cancers and other specialist urological

conditions such as blood in the urine or patients at risk of prostate cancer. The urology department sees more than 150 outpatients every week and surgeons from Chichester, Worthing Hospital and West Sussex Urology LLP have teamed up together to take on the challenge. Mrs Suzie Venn, clinical director for urology, said: “As a group we are keen to raise funds to allow us to improve the services we provide to our local population. A dedicated centre will allow quicker diagnosis and better for service for the patients of west Sussex." The NHS colleagues will join 15,000

cyclists on September, 23 at Goodwood Motor Circuit in Chichester for the start of the first ever Vélo South, a major new 100-mile closed road sportive for the UK. Amanda Tucker, head of charity for Love Your Hospital, said: “It’s heartwarming and inspirational when our staff fundraise in aid of our hospitals and the patients they care for. We’re incredibly lucky to have such dedicated team players within the urology team at Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation Trust."

All side roads in between and exit and entry slip roads at the Esso services are set for closure, too. The footbridge will be closed completely as will the lay-by next to the bridge and the cycle tracks. The Highways England spokesperson said: “We publish temporary traffic regulation orders for all our roadworks. They set out what restrictions may be needed for roadworks and a broad timescale. It does not mean that all the measures will be needed for the whole period. “The traffic order published last week for the A27 renews an existing order which recently expired. While this includes the option for a 50mph speed limit, we expect not to have to use it. We also fully expect to have completed the work well within the six months specified in the document.” However, a resident in the area who had complained to Highways England, received a letter dated July 23, from Duncan Smith, regional director south east operations, which said: “I am pleased to inform you that the extensive technical analysis, modelling and design work undertaken since the issues were identified in March has now allowed us to identify a solution that we believe will resolve the movement issues experienced to within acceptable limits. “Subject to the final relevant technical approvals being achieved, work being completed as programmed and passing on site testing by our engineers, we hope to be able to

open the bridge to pedestrians prior to the bank holiday weekend starting on August 24. We have no plans to reinstate the 50mph speed limit. As reported in the Chichester Post last month, Highways England said the bridge was structurally sound, but movement would prevent people being able to use it safely and comfortably. A Highways England spokesperson said then: “We look forward to opening the new Stockbridge footbridge soon and we are sorry for the delay. "During our routine testing, we identified an issue that could cause the walkway to move unacceptably in certain conditions. “All bridges need to allow a certain amount of controlled movement to protect the integrity of the structure. We are looking at engineering solutions that reduce this movement to allow safe and comfortable use of the walkway over the bridge. “There is absolutely not an issue with the structural integrity of the bridge - this is about completing final adjustments to ensure that the walkway can be used comfortably and safely. We still expect to open the new footbridge as soon as this work is complete.” Highways England has also revealed that CCTV cameras installed in the interests of safety for pedestrians using a diversion along the canal were stolen within days of being installed. The temporary pedestrian diversion via the canal underpass is still in place 24 hours a day and councillors have reported a drop in drug crimes in the area due to the extra footfall.

Council in favour of road closures BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk WEST SUSSEX County Council has rejected a suggestion to keep roads open during the Velo South cycling event, or to close them only for elite cyclists on Sunday, September 23. Vélo South, run by CSM Active Ltd, will take 15,000 riders of all ability levels on a 100-mile journey through the county's stunning countryside, starting and finishing at the iconic Goodwood motor circuit. A proposal submitted by Cllr Dr Kate O’Kelly said: "This council recognises that the forthcoming Velo South on-road cycle event will raise the profile of West Sussex. "This council equally acknowledges the impact the proposed road closures will have on those residents and businesses who are along and within the loop of the route and therefore calls on the leader and the cabinet for highways and infrastructure to take steps to minimise that impact by working with the event organisers to either abandon the road closures or introduce ‘short rolling road closures for the elite cyclists only’, noting that ‘rolling’ closures have been the norm for previous major cycle events in the county." Council leader Louise Goldsmith said at Friday's meeting: "I am deeply disappointed to see this notice and motion written in the way it is. "What we are doing is undoubtedly

a brave thing. We are supporting CSM and it is very different for West Sussex and I think that is a mark of how we are growing and maturing. "We are understanding our responsibilities on public health, encouraging people to enjoy the great outdoors, respecting that people enjoy the spectator sports such as cycling and actually showcasing what is probably one of the most beautiful counties in the country." Cllr David Barling said: "The first motion on cycling was a very, very, positive message to send out that cyclists are welcome in West Sussex. We have this very destructive motion which sends out the complete opposite message. However you cut the cake, however you wrap it up and say 'I'm not against cycling.' "This is so destructive that if you pass this motion, you end the event today. It's as simple as that. "If I was taking part in this event on my new bicycle it might well be that I’m lagging some way behind the elite cyclists, but I would expect to have a similar level of safety and protection through a closed-road system." Cllr Dr O'Kelly said: "We need to think again. This does not need to be a closed road event. It’s too much of an imposition on our residents. They’re saying this loudly and clearly and we should be listening." Thirty seven councillors voted against the suggestion, with eight in favour and ten abstentions.

A mountain to climb for fire and rescue team in city centre WEST Sussex Fire and Rescue Service’s annual ladder climb even returns next month with firefighters climbing 17,696 metres. On Saturday, August 18, firefighters will be making the challenge at the Assembly Rooms in Chichester which is the equivalent of climbing and descending Mount Everest. They will climb a ladder continuously for seven hours, raised against scaffolding, using a pole to descend, in order to take on their toughest challenge yet. The event will run from 10am-5pm and there will be tombola for visitors to take part in with many prizes. All proceeds from the event go to The Fire Fighters Charity.

Firefighter Darren Kilmister, who is helping with organisation of the event, said: “Our ladder climb event is always a really fun day and we’re aiming to make this year the biggest and best one yet. Previously, we have raised over a phenomenal £2,000 and we are aiming to beat this target. “This year, we are required to climb the ladder a total of 1,770 times – this challenge will be taken on, not only by us fire crews, but also by members of the public via a harness system. “We would be extremely grateful if any local businesses could support our event and donate prizes for our raffle. Prizes can be in any shape or form and crews are able to collect donations in the Chichester area.”

Lysander flies from war, to a film and on to the museum BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk VISITORS to Tangmere Military Aviation Museum on Saturday were among the few to get a first glance at a new six week exhibition. Tangmere and the Special Operations Executive (SOE) opened at the weekend and welcomed special guest, 94-yearold Fred Bailey, from Bosham, an SOE trained saboteur. Mr Bailey operated behind the lines in France in 1944 and again in Burma in 1945. He said: “The Lysander brings back a lot of memories. It was a Lysander which picked me up from the jungle in Burma. The plane is a two-seater but there were five of us in it when it picked us up. I was underneath the seat at the bottom of the rear cockpit with a radio set underneath me. "They had a ten minute turnaround because the Japanese were closing in. I was really looking forward to seeing the Lysander, it all seems a long time ago now but it has certainly brought back so many memories.” Mr Bailey received the highest French award, the Legion D’honour, five years ago at the D-Day Museum in Portsmouth. He said: “I was really proud to receive it. It was for my service in the French Resistance. I parachuted in France, sent back intelligence, arranged

further drops and helped organise the Resistance using radio. Museum visitors got a first glimpse of the full size replica of a Westland Lysander aircraft and of equipment used by SOE agents to carry out their clandestine operations. Cllr Martyn Bell, Mayor of Chichester, said: “I have been associated with the museum for a long time and I’m thrilled that they have put on an SOE exhibition. The airfield is mostly famous for the Spitfire pilots but the 161 special duty squadron are also heroes and it’s fascinating to hear their stories told. The exhibition looks really good.” Props chargehand, Chas Jellis, known for his work on Edge of Tomorrow, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Fury, sold the replica Lysander to the museum after he hired a lot of Second World War props to the film production of Allied, starring Brad Pritt. He ended up purchasing the plane and keeping it at his home among his other Second World War vehicles he already owns. He said: “Put together, this plane is so convincing and authentic. It stands out from other replicas as most of it is made from the original fabrics so it’s not all fibreglass. I realised it was a bit too big for my garden and this is where it belongs. It’s in the best place. "I had offers from museums in the USA, Australia and Normandy but it’s perfect here.”

Extra funding from district council for community hall OVER £98,000 has been granted to help fund the construction of Westhampnett Community Hall. Local residents have long felt the lack of communal focus and specifically a community hall or building. The desire for a community room was documented in the parish survey over 13 years ago and identified as an action point for the parish council. In October, 2008, Chichester District Council received £98,712 secured from the development of land at the former gravel pit at Stane Street in Westhampnett. Chichester district councillors agreed on Tuesday to release these funds, plus interest, to Westhampnett Parish Council for the project. Cllr Eileen Lintill said: "It's a longheld community aspiration and one that is desperately needed and I really hope that you can all help support the release of this money so they can just

BY KELLY WICKHAM OAKWOOD SCHOOL has been chosen as one of only four schools in the UK to be part of environmental charity, Challenge Antarctica, set up by former Royal Marine, Barry Gray. Mr Gray attended the Chichester school’s speech day to talk about his aim next year of achieving the first ever solo unsupported and unassisted crossing of the Antarctica. The children took part in a competition to design a flag for Mr Gray to take with him to plant in Antarctica. He announced the winning flag was created by eight-year-old Fred Clements, who is in Year 3 at the school. His design included a Union Jack and the Oakwood School crest. Oakwood head teacher Clare Bradbury said: “Speech day was a very happy occasion that celebrated the achievements of our pupils over the past year and was a wonderful way to end the year. "Barry Gray from Challenge Antartica inspired our children with a challenge to push themselves and head for their dreams.” The school also hosted a tea party for just under 80 residents of local care

get on with it. "I think as soon as they have it they are able to press the button and go." The proposed layout of the building, located on the Old Mauldin's Nursery site, includes a main hall with vaulted ceiling and single-storey reception area, kitchen, toilets and plant. The costs of this project are significantly in excess of this section 106 funding and the parish council is therefore using other sources of funding to complete this project. Parish Council chairman Bill Harding said: "We are delighted after waiting for so long to receive these funds. "We couldn't expect the funds until it had been approved by Chichester District Council. "We are now awaiting a similar payment from Roman Walk and then we have the bulk of the money required."

` Police appeal POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a man suffered multiple serious injuries following a road traffic collision in Chichester. Officers were called to the B2116 Lagness Road, Chichester, around 8.45am on Saturday, July 21, after a silver VW Passat Sport TDI hit a tree. The driver, a man in his late 20s, suffered serious chest injuries and was airlifted by ambulance to the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton. A six-year-old girl who was also travelling in the Passat suffered minor injuries and was taken to St Richards Hospital, Chichester. Sergeant Andrew Heath, of the Roads Policing Unit, said: “The silver car had overtaken a blue Peugeot and a bus before colliding with a tree on the opposite side of the road. “We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this collision or captured it on a dash cam.” Please report online or call 101, quoting Operation Brinmore.

Building the way to a great exhibition at the Novium BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE history of Britain has been brought to life using hundreds of Lego bricks and is on display at the Novium Museum. Bricks Britannia: A History of Britain in Lego Bricks, opens to the public tomorrow and features more than 30 stunning models built by Bright Bricks, the leading company for Lego brick creations. The highlight of the exhibition is in the form of an 8m long model of the Flying Scotsman, the world's most famous steam locomotive, with light, sound and smoke effects. THe Chichester Post gained a sneak preview of the exhibition, which includes relaxed, autism friendly early openings too. Ed Diment, creative director of Bright Bricks, pictured right, said: "It's the first time we have had the Big Ben out. It's a new item we have created to add an extra dimension to the show. "The most challenging thing we have ever built was a jet engine for RollsRoyce. It was a half-size working Lego jet engine, which was 2m tall and 2.5m long. All the compressors moved and it was cut away so you could see all the detail and how it worked. That did cause a few sleepless nights!" Lego brick fans are being encouraged to put their skills to the test and build

creativity with an exciting range of events running alongside the exhibition. A giant Lego brick pit allows children the opportunity to dive into a pool of 70,000 Lego bricks and build whatever comes to mind. Late night Lego bricks on Friday, August 3, is a special adult only evening with an exclusive opportunity to indulge in Lego brick-building activities after hours, which includes a one-off session for adults to enter the Lego brick pit. There is also a unique opportunity for children to have their own creation displayed in the exhibition itself in a Britannia building competition. Museum manager Stephanie Thorndyke said: "We are really excited to be bringing this exhibition here, particularly over the summer holidays. "We are balancing local subjects with subjects which have a broader and popular appeal." Poppy, aged six, and her eight-yearold brother, Noah, attended the sneak preview. Noah said: "We have lots of Lego at home. I like the way you can make good things out of little bricks." Poppy added: "I like the train. My favourite bit in it is the man on the toilet! It's really funny."

PropertyNews ` Location, Location I OFTEN talk with new landlords who are tackling in their minds the great debate - rental income today or (possible) capital growth tomorrow? We’re fortunate that we have both possibilities on our doorstep - Bognor Regis if you’re searching for outright income and Chichester if you’re looking for the potentially greater long-term gains. Let me explain. The average property in Chichester is currently for sale for £349,950, compared to an average rent in the city of £895pcm. Buying and letting out the ‘average’ property at these prices would give a modest 3.1 per cent yield. When you compare that to Bognor Regis’ average 3.3 per cent rental yield (based on an average price of £299,950 and average rent of £825pcm) it would seem a close-run thing as to where the better place to invest is. When you focus on Chichester’s two-bedroom flats (available for an average of £279,950 and renting for an average of £895pcm), the yield jumps to a more respectable, if unspectacular, 3.8 per cent. And yet, the same calculation in Bognor Regis shows a return of 5.3 per cent (the average two-bedroom apartment selling for £180,000 and renting for £800pcm). My five most recent Chichester ‘buy-to-let deals of the week’, however, offered yields of between 4.6 per cent and 5.2 per cent. So it really comes down to what you buy and how much you pay as to what return you’re likely to see. These headline rental return figures, however, ignore the fact capital growth is often the component of property investment that provides the greatest return over the longterm. This is where Chichester really out-trumps Bognor Regis; posting a 7.7 per cent gain in the past year, compared to Bognor Regis’ 6.7 per cent increase. Longer-term, this is compounded further as data shows prices have risen 39 per cent in Chichester over the past ten years, compared to ‘just’ 27 per cent in Bognor Regis.

Activists don't ruin day at the Working Animal Show BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk ANIMALS were the central theme over the weekend at the Weald and Downland Living Museum. Visitors enjoyed free talks and demonstrations in the museum's animal-themed zones for the Animal Working Show. Despite a small group on Sunday from Sussex Vegan Activists who were demonstrating and raising consciousness about the event, the event was hugely popular. The protest group were asking passersby if it was necessary to use animals for old traditions, which are no longer needed. A museum spokesperson said: "A small group of vegan activists attended the museum’s Working Animals Show on Sunday and held a peaceful protest outside of the museum entrance. "The protest did not affect the success of the event and we were delighted to welcome over 3,000 visitors to a show that celebrated animals of all kinds." Specialists were on hand to teach guests about the animals, their traditional uses and how to care for them, as well as

advice about animal-based careers. There were arena displays to see these magnificent animals in action and a children’s zone, where younger visitors were able to enjoy animal-themed arts and crafts. The animals on show included; Shire and Percheron heavy horses and visitors could learn about the farming tasks and machinery they work with. Sol and Saxon, the museum’s pair of Sussex oxen, were out and about showing people how oxen were traditionally used for farming tasks. Various herding, military and assistance dogs were showing off their skills and for a donation of £1 visiting dogs were able to take the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Bronze Award, try the agility course or have a go at flyball. Traditionally used for riding and carrying loads, the team from Hayling Island Donkey Sanctuary were also at the show. Smaller animals included ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, alpacas and therapy animals as well as some reptiles including pythons.

Wealthy bath tub is top find BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk HUGE discoveries have been made at this year's archaeological dig in Priory Park The most significant find has been part of a large hot bath which would have been large enough to contain up to four people. The bathhouse is of great national importance because it so unusual to find the remains of Roman buildings that have survived in such a good condition in a built-up area.

A section uncovered last year was originally thought to be part of the roof which had collapsed into the heating system. But the team’s work over the past two weeks instead revealed it to be a luxurious tub made from mortar, tiles and bricks. The bath’s size helps confirm the theory that the site was inhabited by someone of great wealth and importance. The team also uncovered the foundation of an arch which would have supported a dividing wall, separating the bath house into hot and warm rooms. The team have also found more of the

heating system, known as the hypocaust. James Kenny, archaeologist for Chichester District Council, who has been leading the dig with dedicated volunteers from the Chichester and District Archaeology Society, said: "It's been really hard with the weather. The dryness of the ground has been difficult but the real problem has been how hot it has been. "A precise parallel for the arch formation we found was excavated in Fishbourne Palace back in the 1960s and

that was part of a bath house which was constructed in the early second century AD. As this is identical, the assumption we are making is they were constructed by the same people. "There is a corridor between this bath house and their house so they would have been able to access the bath privately." A future dig has not been confirmed, but if another was to take place it would focus on making a connection between this bath suite and the house that it

served. Volunteer Ann Davies said: "It's been very hot! It took us a while to get to the archaeology. The digger took out a portion and the next lot was taken out by hand. I think it's fascinating what we found. To see you have two sorts of rooms is incredible. We have all really enjoyed ourselves." The bath house would have contained columns of bricks which would have been supported by very large (two feet square) bricks, which in turn would have supported a mortar floor. Other evidence found on site means that during the Middle Ages the site was ransacked specifically for these bricks. They would have been used to make hearth stones, bread ovens or corn drying ovens – anything that required a lot of heat. This is the second public dig to take place on the site, the first was held in May, 2017. The idea is to give members of the public the opportunity to watch archaeology in action, and discover more about this fascinating period in Chichester’s history which has survived untouched for more than 1,600 years. All the finds from this dig will be recorded and catalogued, and the site refilled and returned to parkland. James confirmed that the team always left a few of today's coins behind. He said: "We always throw a few coins in so that if someone comes along in the future and digs a hole, they will know we were here." People can also find out even more by visiting The Novium Museum in Tower Street, Chichester, which contains the remains of a Roman bathhouse as well as a permanent Roman exhibition.

Sessions talk sense about drug misuse DRUG awareness workshops for all ages have been held by Felpham Community College. About 100 parents attended an evening session last week after the daytime events for students across all year groups and their staff. THe workshops took place because of the college's awareness of a growing drug issue among some young people in the community and it wanted to be proactive with their education and to make people aware of how they could combat the ongoing issue. Mark Anstiss, the college's headteacher, said: "We recognise it is important for schools, outside agencies and parents to work together to support and advise young people appropriately and to tackle this growing drug culture concern. "THe workshops presented to students the dangers of drug use. THey then gave an informative presentation to staff and parents on how they can best support their students/children and look out for signs of drug use." THe workshops were run by Drug Sense UK and looked at the realities of using and dealing drugs. East met west at the college when its pupils were joined by student teachers from South Korea. THe two students, Ms Jung Eun Young and Ms Kim Ha Kyoung, spent seven

days at the college as part of an initiative with the University of Chichester. THey observed and took part in lessons as well as speaking to students and finding out about how the college worked. THe visitors finished their visit with a presentation to a group of students about life in South Korea - featuring the country's education system, industries and culture. Nancy Newstead, a Year 7 student, said: "THe Korean ladies were really nice, really friendly and it was interesting to hear about life in Korea. THey taught us the symbol for the Korean heart and my friends are going to use it. "I had never really thought about going to Korea but, since the presentation, it sounds like a really interesting place to visit as their culture is so different to ours." THis was the second year the college had joined with the university to host South Korean student teachers. Paul Darbyshire, the college's curriculum leader for business and vocational studies, said: "Last year we really enjoyed having our visitors from South Korea and this year it has proved another success. "THey have given us a real insight into the life and culture in Korea and our students have found it fascinating."

` Waste site permit

f A few of the students at one of the workshops

PERMITS will be needed by drivers of commercial-type vehicles at household waste recycling sites around West Sussex. From October 1, the county council is insisting all its residents who use a van, pickup or single axle trailer have a permit. Trailers will also be banned from the sites in Bognor Regis and Littlehampton from that date. Cllr Deborah Urquhart, county council cabinet member for environment, said: "THe changes are intended to help speed up visits, avoid illegal commercial waste and encourage residents in other counties with large loads to use sites provided by their own local authority." Vehicles such as multi-axle trailers, horse boxes and flatbed or dropside trucks will also be banned from the sites. Residents can start to apply for a permit from next Wednesday.

A skydive by Lisa Humphries raised more than £2,500 towards a kitchen at the Walk Centre in Nakuru. Lisa, the group director of student services and pastoral support, said: "It was insane, terrifying and amazing. "I hadn't really considered the enormity of it until we were 15,000 feet in the air and getting ready to jump. "I was surprised to raise so much but I guess a lot of people wanted to pay

money to throw me out of a plane!" THe Walk Centre opened a new school last year, which gives children from the Hilton slum area the chance to receive an education because of the fundraising efforts fo staff and students at Chichester College. THey raised more than £80,000 over two years but a kitchen is still needed. THat has formed the focus for this year's fundraising efforts. A team of 30 volunteers from the college have paid to travel to Kenya where they will help to build the kitchen, create a

library and renovate more classrooms as well as teaching and working with pupils. THeir work is carried out with the African Adventures Foundation. Lisa is making her eighth visit to the centre. She added: "THe Walk Centre aims to provide a quality education to thousands of children in Nakuru who are living in extreme poverty. "Seeing the work we do with African Adventures and being a part of that will be life-changing for the volunteers. "It's an emotional experience. It is hard work but it is extremely worthwhile."

f The eclipse in Horsham in 2015 | Pic: Russell Slater

Total eclipse of the moon tonight RESIDENTS in Bognor Regis and Chichester will be able to witness a total eclipse of the moon this evening. Eclipses of the moon occur when the Full Moon passes through the cone of shadow cast by the Earth into space. THis will be the first central lunar eclipse (when it passes through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow) since June 15, 2011. Weather permitting, this will be an fascinating event to watch from the UK because the moon will rise totally eclipsed, giving plenty of opportunities for stunning images of a 'ghostly red moon' above buildings and the landscape. For Chichester and Bognor Regis the times are - moonrise at 8.49pm, maximum eclipse 9.22pm and end of total eclipse 10.13pm Dr John Mason, from South Downs Planetarium in Chichester, said: "THe

visibility and appearance of the totally eclipsed moon at moonrise will depend on how clear the south-eastern sky is from your location at the time. "With the naked eye, the moon may well not be discernible until it has risen a few degrees above the local horizon, but with binoculars or a telescope it will be seen more easily. It is while the moon is still low in the sky that there should be plenty of possibilities for interesting images. "THe moon will rise in the south-eastern sky already totally eclipsed, so to get the best view you probably want to be down on the coast on a beach that faces southeast or south. "THe brilliant red planet, Mars will be just below and to the right of the totally eclipsed moon. As an added bonus for skywatchers this evening, the International Space Station will pass right over Southern England twice during the eclipse!"

` Woman robbed TWO people are being sought by police after they robbed a woman in a Bognor Regis street. THe 51-year-old victim was walking from the car park in Sudley Road through the walkway between shops into the London Road precinct just before 2pm last Friday. She bumped into a man and a woman as they came round the corner. A Sussex Police spokesman said: "THey apologised profusely, helping her pick up her bags before heading off. THey were dressed in matching grey tracksuits. "She then discovered an envelope containing an amount of cash that she was planning to bank had gone missing, along with her purse." Anyone who might have witnessed the incident or who might have any information about those responsible is asked to report it online: sussex. police.uk/contact-us or phone 101, quoting serial 807 of 20/07.

School celebrates birthday EVERY pupil was invited to a Bognor Regis school's golden anniversary. All 600 children at Edward Bryant School enjoyed the 50th birthday celebration with Malcolm the Magician. THe performer delighted them at three one-hour shows with a range of tricks from a snowstorm and miraculous flowers and balls. Among one of his audiences were Oscar Lawrence, seven, and Joe Ingram, eight. Oscar said: "THe magician was very funny. I liked it best when he put the dice in a box and it went into a hat." Joe said: "I think he is very clever."

Malcolm the Magician said he had enjoyed the occasion. "THey have been absolutely amazing audiences. I love seeing the children's faces, seeing them smile and being happy," he said. THe shows took place last THursday - 50 years to the day of the official opening of the school at its London Road site after a move from its original premises in Lyon Street. THe ceremony was carried out by Mr Bryant's widow, Winifred Bryant, on the fifth anniversary of his death. Mr Bryant had been a prominent councillor in the town and a former mayor.

Wendy sews up first deal to sell blankets f Bognor Ladies Cricket Club receives the cheque

Crime proceeds help cricketers STOLEN goods have benefited pioneering women cricketers in Bognor Regis. Police in the town have donated ÂŁ500 to Bognor Ladies Cricket Club to fund kit for new players trying the sport to avoid them having to buy expensive items without knowing if they want to play the game. THe donation came from the Police Property Act Fund made up of monies received by the police from property confiscated by court order and sold. Team captain Tanya Wake said: "THis money towards shirts and kit for our team is received with many thanks and is much appreciated." Lisa Jacocks-Winslow, the club's

treasurer, said: "We are the first women's team in Bognor area and have entered both a 35-over and a T20 competition this year. "We are currently second in both. We are actively seeking new members and train at Hawthorn Road from 6pm to 7.30pm on Fridays. THe donation was presented by PCSO Neil Billingham. He said: "With the growing popularity of women's sport across the country, it is great to be able to support a local team looking to increase their numbers." THe photograph shows PCSO Billingham presenting the cheque to Ms Jacocks-Winslow.

SKILLED Fontwell knitter Wendy Webb hopes her handmade baby blankets will be her dream ticket for a new business. Wendy is among a handful of local artisans to have their crafts shown for sale in the new multi-million pound centre at the Aldingbourne Country Centre. THe facility is due to open soon to complement the well-established attractions at the centre. Visitors will be able to see the results of Wendy's handiwork, which she calls Baa-Baa Blankets, to give their babies a comfortable sleep.

She said: "I was surprised and delighted for my blankets to be chosen to sold in the new building. It is my first outlet and it's good that my potential customers will be able to see and feel my blankets, which they can't do on my website: baabaablankets1.wixsite.com/mysite. "All my blankets are unique. I enjoy designing them. It encourages me to be inventive and knitting is therapeutic. "I like the fact I am the only person who has created that particular design. It's like an artist with a painting." Wendy, 62, of Wandleys Lane, made

her first blanket for a friend of her daughter, Charlotte Shackleton, 38, four years ago. Occasional blankets followed as word of mouth spread. THe reaction to them encouraged her to devote more time to the blankets after she was made redundant from her customer service job. Her blankets fit Moses baskets, pram cradles and cots and have a knitted top, quilt middle and polar fleece underside for the snuggest of fits. THey can be matched with equally bespoke buddies, or comforters, and nursery bunting.

FRIDAY 14th SEPTEMBER 2018 AT CHICHESTER ASSEMBLY ROOM, NORTH STREET

QUEEN

THE SHOW MUST GO ON! QUEEN - THEIR GREATEST HITS PERFORMED BY ROCK GROUP WITH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

GET READY TO BAROQUE’N ROLL ! The Show Must Go On..., an evening of Queen’s greatest hits featuring the internationally acclaimed, Iron Tyger accompanied by the London Symphonia Chamber Orchestra, comes to the Chichester Assembly Room, North Street on Friday 14th September 2018 at 8pm. In the traditionally male dominated world of rock n’ roll, Iron Tyger stand out from the crowd as they are fronted by a show stopping female lead vocalist, the amazing Roz Smith who performs powerful versions of Queen’s all-time classics. The evening is even more special as the group are backed by a chamber orchestra as they perform a gala concert of dazzling versions of the all-time Queen classics. Iron Tyger have gained international fame for The Show Must Go On their album of Queen classics featuring Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are The Champions, Under Pressure, The Seven Seas Of Rhye and more. The group were recently awarded with Silver Discs for vinyl sales on Amazon. More awards followed when Classic Rock Network awarded Iron Tyger 2017 single of the year for their highly acclaimed THE MAGIC OF QUEEN LIVE IN CONCERT version of 99 Red Balloons. Roz Smith was rightfully honoured as the judges’ unanimous choice for Best Female Vocalist of 2017. To celebrate the success of the The Show Must Go On… in style, Iron Tyger are performing a gala concert featuring some of Queen’s Greatest Hits accompanied by a chamber ensemble including strings, woodwind and orchestral percussion plus surprise guests. This wonderful concert, is not to be missed by anyone who loves the music of Queen. Iron Tyger are Roz Smith together with, Marcus Quilter, bass guitar and vocals; Jonny Smale, lead guitar and vocals with Trevelyan Harper on drums and vocals. With such a strong line-up this is sure to be a spectacular evening. Iron Tyger burst onto the recording scene in 2017 with their powerful debut album, Unleashed, which featured the Queen classic I Want To Break Free, and was an instant hit with the record buying public. After the success of the debut album Iron Tyger had the idea of putting together a show that would be a celebration of Queen’s timeless hits, but in a way never before heard and The Show Must Go On... was conceived. Band member Marcus Quilter says ‘We worked closely with the London Symphonia to combine their classical orchestration arrangements with the rock n’ roll power of Iron Tyger and the vocals of Roz Smith to give all Queen fans a night to remember.

DON’T MISS A GREAT NIGHT

“The first performance of The Show Must Go On... was in March at the Worthing Pavilion, it was a huge success and now we are delighted to be bringing the show to Chichester. It makes sense to bring a true Sussex band to a great Sussex venue.”

Tickets for the The Show Must Go On... at 8pm on Friday 14th September at the Chichester Assembly Room, North Street cost £20 available from wegottickets.com and on the door (subject to availability)

Staying safe with foods to help fight stomach bacteria

HELICOBACTER pylori, also known as H. pylori, is a bacterium that is commonly found in the stomach. It is present in about half of the world's m population. H. pylori is capable of causing a ome cat or number of digestive problems, including ulcers and, much less commonly, stomach cancer. It is t Rescue not clear why some people with H. pylori get these halder conditions and others do not. r PO20 7RJ H. Pylori Risk Factors: H. pylori is probably spread by consuming food or water contaminated with faecal matter. H. pylori causes changes to the stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) THe bacteria infect pm the protective tissue that lines the stomach and this £11 per leads to the release of certain enzymes and toxins and activation of the immune system. Together, these factors may directly or indirectly injure the cells of the stomach or duodenum. It then can lead to chronic inflammation in the walls of the stomach ood.com (gastritis) or duodenum (duodenitis). As a result of hallenges/ these changes, the stomach and duodenum are bmore vulnerable to damage from digestive juices, such as stomach acid.

Symptoms: Most individuals with chronic gastritis or duodenitis have no symptoms. However, some people develop more serious problems, including stomach or duodenal ulcers. You can also feel discomfort in your back, chest, suffer from bloating and feeling full, even when very little has been eaten. It can cause a lack of appetite, nausea, dark stools, ulcers that bleed and low blood count as well as significant weight loss. How Is It Diagnosed? Breath tests — Breath tests (known as urea breath tests) require that you drink a specialised solution containing a substance that is broken down by the H. pylori bacterium. THe breakdown products can be detected in your breath. Stool tests — Tests are available that detect H. pylori proteins in stool. Blood tests — Blood tests can detect specific antibodies (proteins) that the body's immune system develops in response to the H. pylori bacterium. However, concerns over its accuracy have limited its use. Medications — No single drug cures H. pylori infection. Most treatment regimens involve taking several medications for 14 days. Most of the treatment regimens include a medication called a proton pump inhibitor. THis medication decreases the stomach's production of acid, which allows the tissues damaged by the infection to heal. Examples of proton pump inhibitors include lansoprazole (Prevacid), omeprazole (Prilosec), pantoprazole (Protonix), rabeprazole (AcipHex), dexlansoprazole (Dexilant), and esomeprazole (Nexium). Two antibiotics are also generally recommended; this reduces the risk of treatment failure and

antibiotic resistance. However, there are increasing numbers of patients with H. pylori infection that is resistant to antibiotics, so it is important to take all the medications prescribed and to have a test that confirms that the infection has been cleared. If the first treatment fails, re-treatment is required and at least one of the antibiotics is different from those used in the first treatment course. Follow-up — After completing H. pylori treatment, repeat testing is usually performed to ensure that the infection has resolved. THis is typically done with a breath or stool test. Blood tests are not recommended for follow up testing; the antibody detected by the blood test often remains in the blood for four or more months after treatment, even after the infection is eliminated. THere are specific foods that you can include in your daily regime that will help with this condition too, and some patients have reported getting great results from foods and herbs. The best foods are: 1. Cranberries, as they contain proanthocyanidins which kill the bacteria. 2. Broccoli and cabbage contain isothiocyanates - particularly one called sulforaphane, and are very potent at killing h. pylori. THe foods highest in sulforaphanes are sauerkraut juice, broccoli, and broccoli sprouts. 3. Garlic, onions, scallions, leeks, and shallots all act as a powerful natural antibiotic. 4. Green tea contains antioxidants, which can boost health and reduce inflammation. 5. Ginger is one of the best natural cures for

Good value and good taste combine at pub Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys

martin.lury@me.com A CHANCE perusal of a restaurant wine menu furnished me with the subject for my wine column this week - namely that of establishments which offer a good range of wine, but do not set prohibitive prices, thus equating to value-for-money regular offers. THe Bear in Pagham, run by convivial hosts Graham and Suzanne Godwyn, is an 18th century coaching inn and a traditional pub with a reputation for good food and was my destination for Sunday lunch last week. THe food, as ever, was of good quality (try a roast!), but it was the wine menu which captured my attention with

white wines, all served by the glass also, ranging from just £13.50 a bottle to the hardly lofty heights of £18 for a Sauvignon Blanc. THe red wines similarly ranged from £13.50 to £17.95. THe Nandu Sauvignon Blanc of Chilean provenance, one of two entry-level white wines, priced at £13.50 a bottle, proved to be perfectly palatable with a light herbal character and oozing zesty citrus freshness with a hint of grapefruit. Next for just an outlay of £15, the USA Wandering Bear Chardonnay (the only errant American one I recall was Yogi!) was big and juicy, yet soft and most quaffable! Tropical fruit flavours to the fore with pineapple particularly prominent and a hint of toasted almond, this wine is one for people who do not like their wines too dry! For £18, the Akau Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough has hints of nettle, is crisp, vibrant and fruity with gooseberries to the fore with citrus flavours lingering in the mouth and a smooth, long finish. In terms of red wines, I will also concentrate on three in particular,

commencing with the Wandering Bear USA Merlot, priced at £15 a bottle, sporting soft and juicy wine aromas of forest fruit and plums with a slight hint of oak and some dark chocolate. THis wine is full of fruit and a veritable crowd pleaser! I next espied an old favourite of mine, namely a L'Instant Truffier Malbec - a modern style from the Rigal family in Cahors, the spiritual home of Malbec. THis one is a lovely Cahors with fairly smooth tannins and a touch of spice. THere is a nice mélange of flavours with black cherry, pepper and a touch of anise. Hints of French sophistication add to its quality and it would complement red meats, game or duck. My last choice was that of a Mondavi Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon, priced at £16.95, with a deep ruby colour, firm tannins and being fruit forward with black cherry plum, blackberry, tobacco, vanilla and cedar in evidence - a panoply of flavours to savour. My thanks to Graham for agreeing to showcase some of his wines above and do look at wine menus and compare prices - à bientôt!

stomach bugs, and its benefits extend to h. pylori infections too. 6. Manuka honey contains a natural form of hydrogen peroxide in it, which is great for treating bacterial infections. 7. Oil of oregano contains a chemical called carvacrol, which works by destroying the cell membranes of bacteria and stopping them from replicating. A great thing about oil of oregano is that it kills bad bacteria while keeping healthy bacteria intact. 8. Vitamin C (especially citrus fruits). High amounts of vitamin C in diets is essential as it reduces inflammation and protects against h. pylori infection. 9. Fatty Acids (especially fish) don’t necessarily kill h. pylori bacteria. However, having a high intake of healthy fats helps to reduce inflammation. 10. Turmeric is one of my all-time favourite super foods. It is a potent anti-inflammatory, antimutagen, antioxidant and anti bacterial. Multiple studies have shown how turmeric can eradicate h. pylori infections. It is thought to work by blocking the shikimate pathway, which is required for metabolic production in bacteria. 11. Certain probiotics. A probiotic is any bacteria which has positive effects when taken. In the case of h. pylori, certain probiotics can fight off the harmful bacteria while healing the stomach lining and reducing symptoms.

Community News & Views HOW BEST to support people with learning disabilities who are facing death or a bereavement in their families will be discussed at a Universirty of Chichester conference. Facing Death and Afterwards - People with Learning Disabilities, being held in October, is aimed at providing professionals with an understanding of how to advise during difficult circumstances. THe event is being held with St Wilfrid's Hospice and will cover topics as diverse at the practicalities of breaking bad news, advanced care planning, spirituality and planning a funeral. THe organiser, Marie Price, pictured below, is a senior lecturer in the university's department of childhood, social work and social care. She said: "Addressing the issue of working with people with learning or intellectual disabilities facing death is topical and long overdue. "THis is the second in a series of events focusing on death and bereavement and their impact on specific groups in society. "We firmly believe that we have created a 'must-attend' event for professionals who work with people with learning or intellectual disabilities." Also taking part in the conference will be Irene Tuffrey-Wijne, the associate professor in intellectual disability and palliative care at St George's University and Kingston University. Her research around people with intellectual disabilities and death covers areas such as cancer, breaking bad news and the extent to which care professionals discuss dying with the people they support. THe conference will be hosted at the university's campus in Bognor Regis. Attendance costs £60, or £50 for charities and concessions, with lunch included. Bookings can be made at: http://store.chi.ac.uk. An early bird discount of £50, and £40, is available for bookings by August 31.

MORE people across Kent, Surrey and Sussex are being given access to new and better treatments through taking part in clinical research. THe latest figures from the National Institute for Health Research 36,143 patients and healthy volunteers took part in a range of health research studies across the south-east of England in 2017/18. THis was the highest number on record and covered all the region's NHS trusts and clinical commissioning groups, which buy treatments. Dr Kate Jones, the area's chief operating officer for National Institute for Health Research clinical research network, said: "I am delighted to see such progress with our endeavour to offer equitable access for patients to high quality research, delivered by expert teams in our region. "THe hard work and dedication of the professionals working with patients, clients and their loved ones to offer cutting edge treatments and technology is commendable and makes a real difference to patients and the care they receive." Both patients and healthy volunteers are encouraged to talk to their healthcare practitioners about taking part in clinical research. THe latest league table published by the network also shows the extent of commercial research activity being supported by the national institute in the trusts and commissioning groups. In 2017/18, the network for Kent, Surrey and Sussex had the second highest commercial research activity in England with a best-ever number of 161 studies. Dr Jonathan Sheffield, the network's chief executive, said: "By taking part in life sciences industry studies, patients are participating in new and innovative forms of treatment which will provide evidence for future improved care for all patients." THe knowledge gained could lead to new NHS treatments.

FORMER Bognor Regis town mayor Cllr Phil Woodall has ensured people with epilepsy can be supported. Cllr Woodall has presented a £665 cheque to Epilepsy Action as one of the charities he chose to receive funds from his year in office, which ended two months ago. He handed over the donation to Dani Beach, an Epilepsy Action volunteer, pictured above. A spokesman said: "We are immensely grateful to Cllr Woodhall for choosing us as one of his charities for his year as town mayor. "Phil has gone above and beyond to raise money, especially in his last week as mayor, where he faced his fears of heights and water, dressed as a superhero. "THe money he has raised

will help us support even more people with epilepsy, including supporting local groups, such as the Epilepsy Action Bognor Regis coffee and chat group. "Epilepsy Action has an extensive network of branches, coffee and chat groups and volunteers throughout the UK. "THese groups provide local support to people with epilepsy, their family and friends and professional carers. "Donations like Phil's help Epilepsy Action to set up more local groups and branches across the country. "Branches and groups enable people living with epilepsy with a way to meet new people, share experiences and learn more about life with epilepsy."

FAMILIES living with domestic abuse in West Sussex will benefit from a pioneering partnership. West Sussex County Council has jointly commissioned an innovative pilot with the charity, SafeLives, and other partners to enhance its approach to support and protect the families of victims of the abuse. Cllr Jo Millward, the council's service leader for integrated prevention and earliest help service, said the new initiative would complement the high-risk domestic abuse services that exist within West Sussex. "Safeguarding whole families from abuse is already one of the council's key priorities and we are united with everyone involved in this project in our desires to identify anyone impacted by any form of abuse and to support them to receive the appropriate help they need." THe partnership will focus on support to stop situations becoming worse, support for the complex needs, which can be worsened by the abuse, many people have, help for children and young people and backing for survivors to recover from the harm and to heal and build resilience. County council cabinet member for children and young people, Cllr Stephen Hillier, said: "We are excited that West Sussex is to be one of only two areas in the country to conduct this pilot. We hope the innovative research will help victims in West Sussex and, eventually, support families across the country." THe pilot will include training and guidance for professionals, enhancing skills and supporting agencies to work together to create a culture of engagement with the people and communities they serve. Suzanne Jacob, chief executive of SafeLives, said it was pleased to be working with the county council and its other partners, THe YOU Trust, Aurora New Dawnand THe Hampton Trust, to help to improve local and national responses to domestic abuse. "West Sussex is showing itself to be in the vanguard of meaningful change - refusing to accept that domestic abuse is inevitable or acceptable and recognising that what happens to the parent, happens to the child too. "We know that 85 per cent of victims of domestic abuse seek help five times on average before they get effective help. THis is four times too many." THe project is being funded by a range of backers.

PERSONAL experience led to Cllr Phil Woodall, the former town mayor of Bognor Regis, to support the Alzheimer's Society. Cllr Woodall has presented a cheque for £665 to the charity as a result of his year in office. He chose the society as one of two to benefit from his role because he is aware of the distress caused by the condition after seeing a relative affected by dementia. A representative of

the Alzheimer's Society welcomed the donation. He said: "It's great that Cllr Woodall gave his time to support our charity. "Dementia can happen to anyone and there is currently no cure. But, with the right support, people can live well with dementia." Cllr Woodall is pictured above presenting the cheque to Jess Hillicks, a community fundraiser for the Alzheimer's Society.

The Royal Military Police in the city barracks By Pat Saunders, Volunteer at the Novium Museum THE CORPS of Royal Military Police (RMP), as it’s currently known, was named on November 28, 1946, at the conclusion of the Second World War in recognition of their service. As a corps, the Military Police maintain law and order among soldiers. On active service (up to end of the Second World War) they also carried out duties in connection with military executions. Previously, there had been two separate units the Corps of Military Mounted Police, created in 1877, and the Corps of Military Foot Police, created in 1885. Seen as two independent corps, they functioned as separate units until 1926, when they merged to form the Corps of Military Police (CMP), later becoming the RMP, having been granted the royal prefix by King George VI in 1946. To this day, the head of the Military Police is known as the Provost–Marshall. The role’s origins can be traced back to the 13th century when, in 1241, Henry III made William Cassingham, aka William of the Weald, Warden of the Weald and Sergeant of the Peace, as a reward for William’s actions in preventing Louis of France from reaching London by ambushing him near Lewes. The first Provost-Marshall was Sir Henry Guildford (1489-1532), appointed in 1511 by Henry VIII, a favoured courtier who in 1513

was standard bearer in Henry VIII’s invasion of France. During the Peninsular War (18091814) Wellington asked for a Provost-Marshall to be appointed to deal with looters. Throughout the Second World War, the Corps of Military Police served on the front line wherever the British Army served including at Sicily, Salerno, Anzio and Normandy. In 1963, after the Royal Sussex Regiment left the Roussillion Barracks in Chichester, the Royal Military Police took control of the site and converted the premises at a cost of £454,000. Facilities included the officers' mess, sergeants' mess, classrooms, training wings, quartermaster and associated stores, regimental headquarters offices, nuclear biological chemical gas chamber, 30m range, medical centre and armoury. The Royal Military Police had previously been located at Inkerman Barracks in Wokingham. Their commanding officer at that time was Colonel ‘Perisher’ Read. He’d enlisted in the army in India in 1921 as a boy soldier and worked his way up the ranks. He had been known as ‘Perisher’ since taking part in a rugby match and helping his team to win. A general supporting the losing side was heard to complain that they’d have won if ‘that Perisher Read’ hadn’t had the ball so

In 1978 the Queen was invited to lunch after inspecting the barracks to mark the centenary of the Royal Military Police formation.

much. Members of the RMP were first trained as soldiers at an army training regiment. After this time they could specialise as Military Police, undertaking additional training which included further military training, selfdefence, first-aid, driver training, as well as specific training in police duties and the law. The barracks were also used as the training school for the Special Investigating Branch (SIB) the equivalent of civilian police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The centenary of the Mounted Military Police’s formation was celebrated in 1977, by a ‘friendly march’ held on July 31. There were varying lengths of march, bronze (six miles), silver (15 miles) or gold (25 miles) around the Downs at Goodwood, for which medals were awarded to participants. Teams were formed that were either local or from further afield with some military units from abroad. The end of the day concluded with a formal march past a saluting base with the Mayor and other dignitaries in West Street. These marches continued to be held until the early 1990s. In 1978, the Queen was invited to lunch after inspecting the barracks to mark the centenary of the Royal Military Police formation. In 1982, during the Falklands War, Captain Alfredo Astiz - an Argentinian POW - was flown to Britain and held prisoner at the

barracks (specifically in The Keep by the west entrance) under the watch of the RMP. He was wanted by the French and Swedish authorities for the 'disappearances' (and presumed murders) of some of their citizens. The UK Government eventually decided they did not have the necessary authority to try him, as the crimes for which he had been accused did not involve British nationals. He was later returned him to Argentina. On April 6 , 1992, the Royal Military Police were amalgamated into the Adjutant General’s Corps (AGC) but the unit retained their distinctive cap badge as well as red topped caps. After 118 years, the Mounted Troop was disbanded on March 5,1995, so that horses were then no longer kept at the stables in the barracks. This was marked by a disbandment parade consisting of a march through the city followed by a ceremony and drumhead service in the barracks. Ten years later, in 2005, the Royal Military Police took the decision to move from their longstanding headquarters at Roussillon Barracks. An official closing ceremony and "Beating Retreat" was held on Saturday, September 10, 2005. The RMP formally marched out of the barracks to their new base at the new Defence Police College at Southwick Park, north of Portsmouth.

Middleton look to extend unbeaten PostSport run against table topping Brighton MIDDLETON CC will look to extend their unbeaten run to three as the club seek to preserve their Sussex Premier Division status for another season. Sean Heather's side have picked up their performances in recent weeks, pulling themselves away from the bottom two. THat run continued with a creditable draw away at East Ginstead last weekend. With league leaders Brighton & Hove visiting Sea Lane tomorrow (12pm), Middleton know they will need to be at their best if they are to come away with a share of the spoils. Last weekend's match at East Grinstead will have given them heart. A solid bowling display led by Matthew Reynolds (4-80) saw the home side restricted to 228-9 off 58 overs. In reply, an unbeaten half-century from overseas player Mahesh Rawat (56*) anchored the innings and ensured Middleton held out for the draw, reaching 190-9 before time was called. In Division Two, Bognor took the spoils as they defeated Chichester Priory Park to secure a much-needed win. A fierce display with the ball saw the Regis Oval side dismiss Chi for just 110 after being

put into bat. West Indian Marquino Mindley (3-18) and Scott Bingham (3-7) were particularly impressive as Priory lost seven wickets for 40 runs. Matthew Bennison top scored with 32. Bognor then chased down the score with five wickets to spare as an unbeaten 40 from Rob Willway guided them home. Next up for third-bottom Bognor is a trip to Ansty, who are one point and one place above them. Chichester, meanwhile, welcome league leaders Mayfield to Goodwood, with the visitors winning their last five matches. Both matches start at 12.30pm. In Division THree West, fourth-placed Pagham travel to Findon still with an outside shot at winning promotion (12.30pm). Stuart Hanks' side have lost just once in the past five matches. THat good form continued last weekend when they comfortably defeated an inexperienced West Chiltington & THakeham side at Nyetimber Lane. Batting first, Hanks' side scored 248 with Richard Bird (55) and Justin Scott (43) adding the bulk of the runs. THe visitors struggled in reply as Gareth Davies took 5 for 11 in a total of 85 to seal a 163-run victory.

Stradivarius aims for Glorious return

f Stradivarius wins at Goodwood last year

STRADIVARIUS is set for another tilt at the Goodwood Cup with the John Gosden trained mount odds on to take the £500,000 Group One race. THe contest is the first major race of the five-day Qatar Goodwood Festival which gets underway next Tuesday. Stradivarius won the two-mile race at last year's meet, edging out 2015 and 2016 winner Big Orange. And, after beating French horse Vazirabad by three-quarters of a length in the Group 1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last month, connections believe he could go close again this time round - even if jockey Frankie Dettori will miss the first few days of the meet due to suspension. Speaking to Sporting Life, assistant trainer THady Gosden said: "Stradivarius's preparation for the Goodwood Cup has been excellent so far. He pulled off a shoe at Ascot so it showed how brave he was to win that day. "He has come out of the race bouncing and we're looking forward to the Qatar Goodwood

Cup. Stradivarius is an absolute pleasure to be around at home. He is not a big horse, but has a very big heart and is a top-class horse." Wednesday's highlight is the one-mile Sussex Stakes with the Group One race having a prize pot of £1 million. Gosden again has the market leader in Without Parole. But punters are likely to be interested in Aidan O'Brien's mount, Gustav Klimt, and course specialist Lightning Spear. French interest comes in the form of Orbaan. THursday is Ladies Day with three Group races on the card with the Nassau Stakes the standout race. William Haggas will likely play an important part in the £600,000 Group One race with Urban Fox and Sea of Class both in his stable. Friday's highlight comes in the form of the King George. Last year's winner, the Charlie Hills-trained Battaash, features among 25 remaining entries while the ante-post favourite for the historic Stewards Cup six mile sprint handicap is Godolphin's Dreamfield.

Old rivals Sidlesham and Bosham usher in the new

f Pagham play Hamble tomorrow

Pagham push for promotion PAGHAM joint-manager Tom Simmonds believes his side should be shooting for promotion from the SCFL Premier. THe Lions made great strides in what was Simmonds and co-manager Richie Hellen's first campaign at the helm. A third place finish and a cup final was an excellent return for the Nyetimber Lane side, who also managed to score more than 100 league goals for the first time in the club's history. With Pagham bolstering their attacking ranks, most notably with the addition of George Gaskin and the returning Scott Murfin, Simmonds believes his side are in good shape for the start of the season on August 4. He said: "THe target at the start of last season managed to improve on the year before and we did achieve that. "I think it is fair to say that is the aim again. Every competition we enter we want to improve on that. "If we finish higher than last season then that will be promotion so I think it's fair to see that's something we are looking at." Pagham continued their

free-scoring ways in preseason with a 4-4 draw against Combined Counties Premier side Crowborough last weekend. THat was followed by a 3-1 victory over SCFL Division One side Selsey as Gaskin, James THurgar and Lindon Miller scored. THe Lions round off their pre-season preparations this week when they welcome Wessex Premier side Hamble FC tomorrow (3pm) before a visit from Bostik Premier side Whitehawk on Tuesday (7.45pm). Simmonds said: "Everything is going well in terms of preparations. THings are starting to take shape. "We wanted to try and keep as many as we could from last year and add in a few more in the areas where we thought we could slightly improve. "You cannot read too much into it [pre-season] but we are pleased with some aspects of our play, particularly with the way we are attacking and going forward as a team." Pagham start their season with a trip to Peacehaven & Telscombe on August 4 before a home match against Lancing on August 7.

FOR TWO seasons they were the fierce rivals fighting it out at the top of SCFL Division Two. But it's all change for Sidlesham and Bosham as the near neighbours embark on new eras with new men at the helm. After winning promotion to SCFL Division One last season, Sids were the first to act as they look to consolidate themselves back at step six of the non-league pyramid. After losing manager Daren Pearce to Selsey, the Recreation Ground side welcomed former Blues boss Steve Bailey in as manager. Meanwhile the Robins, who finished fifth last term, have welcomed Dennis Hughes in as first team manager. Dennis comes with a high pedigree and an extensive playing and management CV - starting out as a youth player with Arsenal prior to spells at Leyton Orient, Brighton & Hove Albion and Stevenage Borough. He will be assisted by former Robins boss Tony Hancock and head coach Danny Mullen. A club spokesman said: "We're very much looking forward to the forthcoming campaign and wish the new management well in what has been a transitional period for the club over the last few weeks."

f Bosham and Sids were SCFL Division Two rivals

Chi shape up well for new year CHICHESTER City manager Miles Rutherford has one goal in his sights this season. A record-breaking run in the FA Vase, a cup victory and a fifth place finish will not be enough for the determined manager. After two seasons of progress, the Oaklands Park side look set to be going all out to secure a promotion spot from the SCFL Premier this season. With two spots to fight for, City will need to hit the ground running and erase some of the inconsistency which has cost them dear in recent years.

But, judging by pre-season results, Rutherford has assembled another competitive side which will be pushing towards the top of the division. After beating Bostik Premier Worthing and Wick, City suffered their first loss of preseason last weekend against Wessex Premier side Moneyfields losing 2-0. Among the players to miss that match was new signing Gicu Iordache, who has joined from Broadbridge Heath. THe creative left winger scored eight in the previous two fixtures against Wick and Worthing.

f Chi City players crowd out the Moneyfields No 10

Chi played Sidlesham away last night and continue pre-season tomorrow when they host Wessex Premier side Christchurch (3pm) before rounding off their matches on Tuesday at Oaklands against Woking under23s (7.45pm). Chi start their SCFL season on August 4 at home to Newhaven (3pm). THe Chichester City Ladies team are also making good preparations for the new season. It is the beginning of a new era for the Oaklands Park side as they start life under new manager Aaron Smith. THe main task for the new man in charge is to ensure Chi continue to thrive in the newly renamed Premier League Southern division. City kicked off their preparations with a 4-0 victory away at Poole Town, who are in the league below them. Smith said: "THere were six new players involved who all performed well and integrated well into the team, which I was happy to see. "We went into this game concentrating on keeping a clean sheet and playing with no fear. "So to come away from a strong Poole Town side having dominated the game, scored four goals and kept a clean sheet I am very happy." Next up for Chichester City is a home tie against AFC Bournemouth who won their league last season. THe game will take place at Oaklands Park on Sunday (2pm).

Blues boss still has plenty of work to do SELSEY boss Daren Pearce still has plenty of work to do if he is to bring the good times back to the High Street Ground. THe former Sidlesham man has one aim this season: to improve the club on and off the pitch and try and better last season's ninth place finish in SCFL Division One. Pearce has hit the ground running, bringing in a number of young players to the Bunn Leisure Community Stadium. He has also set about working with chairman Dave Lee and Dickie Istead in remodelling the youth set-up, introducing a new under-18s side to ensure the club continues to produce high-quality young players. With a link-up with Stoke City scout and former Brighton & Hove Albion manager

Martin Hinshelwood, the seeds are certainly being sown. Now Pearce has to get to grips with the first team and pre-season has seen a lot of focus on moulding a new look side. Friendly defeats to Bostik Premier Worthing, Wessex Premier side Portchester and Combined Counties Premier side Walton & Hersham fail to hide real progress with a squad of young players. THat continued on Tuesday when the Blues suffered another pre-season defeat this time 3-1 to SCFL Premier side Pagham. Pearce will be hoping by the time Selsey kick off the new season on August 4 at home to Southwick, that promise will be turned into positive results on the pitch.

Rocks use Robbie's contacts to sign two Pompey players Next Game

SALISBURY (A) Tonight, 7.45pm

BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce is turning to youth as he looks to solve the Rocks' scoring woes. Goals were hard to come by for the Nyewood Lane side last season as the club were relegated from National South at the first time of asking. With the Bostik Premier season just a fortnight away, Pearce confirmed this week the addition of Portsmouth youngsters Dan Smith and Bradley Lethbridge on seasonlong loans. Despite their age, both have an eye for goal with Rocks fans getting a good view of what to expect when he pair featured for the League One side in a friendly at Nyewood on Tuesday evening. Pearce said: "Both Bradley and Dan are very highly thought of within the Portsmouth management structure and we are delighted to welcome them to the club. "Portsmouth are keen for both players to play regular football at a good level to help them develop so the loans suit all parties in that they can attain game time while we benefit from their talent." Attacking midfielder Smith, 19, and striker Lethbridge, 17, both started in the 5-1 friendly defeat. After Jimmy Muitt drew Bognor level in the first half, the League One side's quality started to show - with Adam May (3), Leon Moloney and Smith getting the goals for the visitors in

front of more than 1,200 fans. Central to the signing of the two Pompey youngsters is the presence of Bognor's new first team coach Robbie Blake. THe former Wolves striker spent two seasons at Fratton Park and has a good reputation within the Pompey hierarchy. With Bognor also having a reputation for playing passing possession football, the League One club needed little persuading that their young starlets would be in good hands at Nyewood Lane. Pearce said: “To have such a relationship with a club of Pompey’s stature says a lot about our club and the trust they have in us. "We very much look forward to helping the players develop and at the same time boosting our own ambition ahead of the new season.” THe confirmation of Smith and Letheridge's switch to the Rocks was confirmed after the game on Tuesday. Both will play a part in the pre-season friendly at Salisbury tonight (7.45pm) and next Friday (August 3) as the Rocks round off their pre-season campaign away at Southern Premier South side Gosport Borough. THe matches will give Pearce and Blake time to finalise their squad ahead of the first match of the league season at Haringey Borough on August 11. THe first home match comes three days later against Merstham (7.45pm).

Keeper issue next one to sort FIRST was building a strong core to the side, then it was on to adding a goalscoring threat. But, with a fortnight to go until Bognor start their Bostik Premier season, there remains a major hole in their side - that of who will be the number one. THe Nye Camp faithful have been very lucky in recent years, with Dan Lincoln receiving rave reviews in goal. But, with the start of the new season looming, the former Reading trainee still has not committed his future to the club. It's no secret that Lincoln wants to find a club closer to his home. And that uncertainty means that Rocks manager Jack Pearce is having to assess his options. Former Basingstoke keeper Giordano Zabotti has been on trial in recent weeks and played the full 90 minutes against Portsmouth. Lincoln could return to the Rocks line-up tonight for the trip to Salisbury. But, with the season getting nearer by the day, Pearce will want to make a decision sooner rather than later. THis will ensure his defence can bond and form a solid defensive platform from which the Rocks can build on for the rest of the year.

SO WE are back again for another exciting season of football at Nyewood Lane and we're already up and running with pre-season in full swing. I have really enjoyed the games so far. Against Brighton & Hove Albion U23s, I thought the lads gave it their all and in the end fully deserved the 2-1 win. THe appointment of Robbie Blake as coach of the team seems to be a good move and you could see our players were attacking without fear and moving the ball quickly forward against a now Premier League club. Yes, Brighton fielded a very young side but you could say the same about our team as well. Marley Ridge impressed, as did Sam Rolf in defence, while Chad Field and Corey Heath return to full fitness. Jack Parkinson was a surprise, coming off the bench like he did and netting his first for the club. Next up was Horndean. THe Wessex League outfit managed by Rocks legend Michael Birmingham brought a strong team to Nyewood Lane after the game was switched. Our first team featured in the first half but wholesale changes at half time saw nine substitutions take place, including another two on the bench! 0-0 at half time and looking fairly even, the changes in the break gave some of our youngsters in the area a chance to shine on the hallowed turf. In the end it was 3-0 to the visitors against a young Bognor team. It was revealed later that many in that second half were 16 and 17-year-olds who were looking to impress manager Jack Pearce. It was clear there were one or two who could make the Bostik Premier League level this year - but others, unfortunately, probably wouldn’t be at the standard quite yet. Given time. though, some years down the line they could make it. Who knows?

On to Portsmouth in the next friendly this past Tuesday night and I have to say the boys held the ball really well at times. THe passing play orchestrated by Doug Tuck in the middle was a joy to watch. Unfortunately, mistakes cost us two goals in this match and clinical and confident finishing from an impressive Adam May and others ensured Pompey finished up 5-1 winners. On the positive side, though it was great to see Jimmy Muitt get back on the scoresheet. Keeping him at the Lane was crucial this season. He is a real prospect for the club and I hope he scores many goals this season while also avoiding injury. Getting Dan Smith and Bradley Lethbridge on-loan from our Blue neighbours was a real bonus and can only help our goalscoring prospects this season. As expected, there have been some departures this summer. All the best goes to James Crane and Ollie Pearce who have joined Worthing. Long service from both of the players but its a real shame they have left! My gut feeling is that the management team are going for youth this season and in some cases you just have to let go of some of those more experienced players to give these youngsters a chance. Dan Beck leaving for Burgess Hill Town was also a hammer blow - another Rocks legend on his way out. Other players have also departed but now is the time for the likes of Tommy Scutt, Tommy Block and others to show us all what we know they can do! Unfortunately, I won’t be at the Salisbury City away game tonight but I hope the lads play well and we start to build up momentum for the Gosport Borough game next Friday. Enjoy the match! UP THE ROCKS!
