Parking issues with school BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk LAST Thursday was the start of term for pupils attending the new Chichester Free School in Hunston Road. The school, which had previously been situated in Romney Broadwalk, Bognor Regis, and Vinnetrow Road, Chichester, finally opened its doors to pupils at the
former Carmelite Convent. However, residents at nearby Whyke Road have expressed concern with the amount of extra traffic and parking in the area as parents struggle to pick up and drop their children off. The new school operates a compulsory car share procedure for all pupils from Year 1 and above in order for them to manage their traffic flow onto the site. The school's website says: "Chichester
district planning authority have guidelines that they permit on any development and of course the Education and Skills Funding Agency had a budget to build a school and provide facilities. "There are limited parking spaces on site. We have 120 parking spaces, which must cater for everyone – disabled parking, the staff, visitors and drop off/pick up, so ‘kiss and drop’ will be vital for the safety of all our children on site and we will need to
oversee this; arrangements will include use of permits, car sharing for pupils and staff, and public transport." Cllr Sarah Sharp from Chichester City Council, went to Whyke during an afternoon pick-up. She said: "On the positive side, the new crossing of the road and bus stops are in place for the beginning of the new term - there were fears these would not be completed in time." See page three

A COUNCILLOR has warned of major drug problems in the city centre, in particular in the west ward area. At a recent city council meeting, Cllr Clare Apel described how the drug issue was becoming a huge concern with residents. She said: "I think many people will say the problem of drugs is happening all over the country. However, with the big cutbacks in police funding, this has had a negative effect on local communities. "We have had a drug problem in the west ward of Chichester city for some time. There are people who are dealing openly in front of young children and young teenagers. "As we no longer have PCSOs or any visible sign of police, the problems come to the councillor and the community wardens. I was contacted on several occasions regarding the drug dealing and threatening behaviour to people living near. They are frightened and reluctant to go to the police as they seem not to respond. "When I get a report I try to get hold of the police with not a great deal of luck. There seems to be a serious lack of

communication. "I appreciate they are busy but when someone contacts their councillor, it is a last resort. If we as councillors cannot get a response what do we do? The police admit the 101 number is not fit for purpose so you have to go online or ring 999. "Even with 999 the response is mixed and that is putting it politely. Our community warden is doing a fantastic job but she has no powers which seems daft." Previously, the retired telephone box in the parade of shops in Sherborne Road, Chichester, was used for a place for books where the community could borrow or leave books for others. However, the telephone box has now been emptied of the books due to it being used for drug exchanging instead. A police spokesperson said: "Sussex Police have not received any reports regarding this matter. "Prevention Inspector Danny West attended a meeting on August 3, and provided advice to Chichester District Council to temporary remove the books from the telephone box, and it would appear this advice has been adhered to. "There are increased police patrols in specific areas of Chichester where there have been reports or intelligence to indicate an increased presence."

CHICHESTER city centre will not be holding its annual Christmas lights switch-on event this year. Chichester BID has confirmed it will not be hosting or organising the event. The decision not to host and organise this year’s event is because it does not meet the BID’s objectives of generating commercial benefit for the business community. On their website, they said: " This event involves a huge amount of coordination and funding for what is essentially a two to three-hour event (after business hours) on one night of the year, with very little conversion at the tills. "Preparations and costs for this event include cover for health and safety ramifications, crowd control, emergency service access, police partnership, staging, lighting, sound, fireworks (this year the firework provider has advised against a display), event indemnity, public liability, marshalling, entertainment, road closures). "The funds saved by not putting on
an official switch-on event this year, are being put towards the provision of a street entertainment programme for you. "From December 1 to 23, the BID team are planning a number of day and evening street performances. Please note these street activities will not be performed every day of the week but are focused specifically from Thursday to Sunday. "You will see a whole selection of street performances, adding a festive atmosphere onto the city’s streets, igniting public interest and encouraging dwell time. "To replace the normal light switch on event, we are organising a “soft launch switch-on” this will mean that the lights will be turned on in phases over a period of time, starting with the side streets from October and leading up to the illumination of the main streets from the end of November." For more information, Chichester BID's newsletter next month will have updates on Christmas activities, latenight shopping opportunities, street entertainment and shopping trail.

Time for a sleepover at the city's museum
f Parking and congestion in Whyke Road, Chichester
From page one
f David Walliams book The Midnight Gang will be performed at the theatre next month
BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk FANS of number one best-selling author David Walliams will have a unique overnight opportunity to follow in the footsteps of The Midnight Gang with an exciting sleepover developed by The Novium Museum in collaboration with Chichester Festival Theatre. The Novium Museum’s popular Lego Brick exhibition, Bricks Britannia: A History of Britain in Lego Bricks, showcases a metre high model of Big Ben to celebrate Chichester Festival Theatre’s production of David Walliam’s hit book, The Midnight Gang.
The play tells the extraordinary story of five children in a wonderfully inventive and eccentric hospital setting and takes people on an unmissable midnight adventure. Sleepover guests will be entertained with an exciting programme of themed trails and activities to complete. Cllr Eileen Lintill, cabinet member for community services at Chichester District Council, says: “We are delighted to be teaming up with Chichester Festival Theatre to offer this exciting sleepover. The Midnight Gang has captivated and inspired so many young readers, and we look forward to hearing about the adventures they recreate during their night at the museum!”
The sleepover will take place at The Novium Museum from 7pm on Saturday, October 6, to 8am on Sunday, October 7. It is suitable for children aged seven to 11. The sleepover programme has been running for four years, with more than 2,000 children experiencing a night at the museum. Sleepover activities include a torchlit treasure hunt, hands on activities and a special bedtime story. To book visit: thenovium.org/cft or call 01243 775888. The Midnight Gang, by David Walliams, is showing at Chichester Festival Theatre this autumn, from October 13, to November 3. For more information visit: cft.org.uk

"However, from a sustainable travel perspective, the location of this school is far from ideal. The sheer number of cars is having a very severe knock-on effect on the local roads. "The most dangerous thing is seeing groups of children and adults trying to cross Whyke Road right near the junction with the A27 (instead of taking a safer route through the Whyke estate)." The school's interim principal, Jenny Clough, said: "We have limited parking spaces on site, with 116 spaces, which must cater for everyone - disabled parking, staff, visitors and drop-off/pick-up (nine disabled, 36 visitor spaces, 13 'drop-off' bays and 58 staff spaces). "We have worked very hard with our families to promote the use of public transport, and children walking or cycling to school. In addition, we have required our families and staff to car share to reduce the volume of traffic on the local roads. So we operate a 'kiss and drop' system for the safety of all our children on site. "All these actions are all aimed at influencing the travel behaviour of our families as outlined in our travel plan. "We have been encouraged to see more children than anticipated walking from home, cycling, taking the buses and car-sharing, and we are doing everything we can as a school to keep those people who are parking in the Whyke estate and surrounding areas to a minimum. "As new 'neighbours', we are keen to work with our local community, but there will be inevitably be teething problems. We are only in day four
of operations and people are still finding their feet. We hope things will improve. We have already seen better bus provision since day one and this is further encouraging children to use public transport." The outstanding works at the school have been the subject of a Stage 3 Safety Audit, but the auditors want to visit the site again in a couple of weeks’ time to check the new access, bus stops and toucan crossing to check if they are operating safely once the parents, children and teachers have got used to the new infrastructure. A Chichester District Council spokesperson said: “If residents are worried about drivers parking in the road, they would need to contact their local West Sussex County Councillor to ask about having the current traffic regulation order reviewed. "Our planning team has received an official complaint regarding parking in Whyke Road, This has been referred to our planning enforcement officers to investigate.” Cllr Jamie Fitzjohn, of West Sussex County Council, said: "With regards to the lack of pavement on the western side of Whyke Road, this is an ongoing issue. There simply isn’t enough highway space to accommodate a pavement on that side because a wall belonging to the care home juts out, limiting the amount of space available. "I have raised this as a concern with highways and the owners of the site. I have requested that this issue should be taken into consideration to form part of the current planning application. In the meantime, I ask that drivers, pedestrians and cyclists take extreme caution when using this part of Whyke Road."

` Sexual assault POLICE have released an e-fit image of a man sought in connection with a sexual assault in Chichester. At about 11.05pm on Saturday, August 25, a woman was walking along The Hornet when she noticed a man was following her. He attempted to engage in conversation with her and then sexually assaulted her at the junction of Green Lane and Oving Road. The victim, who is in her 30s, screamed out for help and the suspect ran off along Green Lane. She was left shaken and with some minor bruising to her chest. The suspect is described as white, about 50 years old, of skinny build and about 5ft 6in. He had short grey hair and wore metal rimmed, round spectacles, a black baseball cap, an anorak style jacket with a black body and blue sleeves and blue jeans. Anyone with any information is asked to report it online or call 101, quoting serial 697 of 29/08.

Recycling for flats helped by council BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THIS month, residents in a number of flats and shared houses in Chichester will get a visit from the West Sussex Waste Partnership’s team of doorsteppers. The team will be delivering information packs (which include a free reusable bag to collect your recycling in) and answering any questions residents may have about recycling and waste prevention. The initiative has already been run throughout parts of Crawley and Arun and is now focusing on Chichester for the next month. This approach was piloted in 2016 to tackle historic difficulties in increasing and improving recycling rates and quality from flats and communal properties and was shown to deliver measurable, positive results, improving residents' recycling rates by up to 94 per cent. Deborah Urquhart, West Sussex County Council cabinet member for environment, said: “Following on from the award-winning houses of multiple occupancy recycling project in 2016, we’ve seen a big improvement in recycling quality and rates by the 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 reusable recycling bags and updated recycling information will help to improve how much waste is recycled by individuals and will ultimately help the whole county reach the 50 per cent target of all household waste being recycled by 2020.” Other areas which will also benefit from the scheme are Mid-Sussex, Adur and Worthing. Roger Barrow, the district council’s cabinet member for residents services, said: “We are pleased to see this scheme coming to the Chichester district. "We know from our own work locally that people have really appreciated being able to get face-to-face advice on what they can recycle and I am confident that this scheme will have a positive result in the district. “Our most recent recycling figures show that over the past two years our recycling rate in the district has increased from 39 per cent to 45 per cent, which is encouraging. “If you live in a communal flat or house of multiple occupation, then I would really urge you to keep an eye out for the partnership's team of doorsteppers over the next month and pick up some useful recycling tips.” The county council is encouraging people to have a chat with the team about how they can improve recycling efforts and reduce their waste.

f Oktoberfest is coming to Chichester
German festival heads to city THE MUCH-LOVED German beer festival, Oktoberfest, will be celebrated in Chichester this year. On October 13, guests can enjoy authentic German pretzels and bratwurst, washed down with an assortment of quality German beers, served up in traditional stein glasses at priory Park. Oompah bands will provide the entertainment as the venue is transformed into a Bavarian beer hall, with plenty of games and competitions to get involved in. Organisers are encouraging visitors to slip into lederhosen or dirndls and prepare for drinking and singing all evening long. Inspired by a deep love of the traditional Bavarian festival that since
the 17th century has seen millions of revellers come together to swig countless litres of beer, every year, event organiser, Nathan Reed said: “The British love beer as much as any, and we love the spirit of Oktoberfest so we’ve tried to capture the essence of the festival at our events up and down the country! "With the authentic German beer and food, and the entertainment and atmosphere that make this festivity like nothing else out there, we hope you'll come and join us for some fun! Oh, and we strongly recommend guests dress up too, it’s all part of the fun.” Tickets to day and evening sessions are now on sale at: eventbrite.com/o/ oktoberfestivals-17133792830

Battle continues over the 100 mile cycle ride in the district BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk LAVANT Parish Council has confirmed it has cancelled its ‘Cycling Sunday’ event due to be held for the Velo South cycle ride organised by CSM Active on September 23. As well as a best-dressed bicycle competition supported by Lavant Primary School and The Royal Oak, ‘Dr Bike’ was offering free bike repair and maintenance advice while West Sussex County Council’s bikeability team was overseeing fun cycling activities. However, the parish council has now confirmed it is cancelling the event for a number of reasons. Imogen Whitaker, Lavant parish clerk, said: "At the outset, we felt that the consultation carried out by the county council was extremely poor and presented the parish with some difficult problems to resolve. "We considered that the likelihood of the event being cancelled was small so decided to make the best of a bad job for our residents. We printed and distributed an information leaflet to the parish to let them know about the event and invited residents only to meet at the green for a picnic to try and mitigate the fact that they would be unable to leave the village for the entire day. "Lavant Parish Council specifically
asked Velo South not to include this in their list - it was only for residents. It was not an indication of support for the Velo South event. The council was therefore somewhat surprised to learn from an outside source that the Lavant event was listed as "support". "There is now a legal challenge pending which cites four reasons for cancelling the event - the first of which was lack of consultation and Lavant Parish Council supports this challenge. "The other three grounds for the legal challenge are of a technical nature which we support." THe Post has been told the county council have instructed London-based law firm, Sharpe Pritchard, to fight the action residents have mounted against Vélo South. As reported in last week's Chichester Post, a group of residents formally started a legal challenge against the council regarding road closure proposals for Vélo South. The news comes just after all the council leaders from across West Sussex (with the exception of Crawley Borough Council) met earlier this week to discuss the budget situation faced by the county council due to lack of central government funding. The county council has already saved £145m over the last eight years but now faces a funding gap of £146m over the next four years. “If Louise Goldsmith really wants to save money, she should withdraw the
council’s support for this hugely divisive, hugely disruptive, hugely expensive race, immediately,” said Chris Matthews, one of the residents in the Stop Velo South campaign. Chichester District Council leader, Cllr Tony Dignum, has faced criticism about the event on his Facebook page, with one resident asking why the district council has been supporting the cycle ride. He said: "Early on, the district council was approached by CSM and we supported the event in principle then
which is why you see the Chichester council logo on marketing literature. "We thought then there would be a benefit to tourism from visitors. As so often the devil is in the detail and we now see the tourism benefit possibly offset by loss of opportunity for local residents and businesses by the sheer length of time for which road closures have been agreed, as I have said before, an amazing nine and a half hours closure on roads near me even though we are about two miles from the finish.”

Sovereign Flooring f Dumped tyres have been found across the district
Council calls for help after surge in flytipping of tyres across the district MORE THAN 500 tyres have been dumped across the Chichester district in just two weeks. The council is appealing to residents for information after the tyres were left in several rural areas. Since August 21, more than 500 tyres have been flytipped at seven rural locations. The village of Colworth has experienced two incidents, with a total of 50 tyres being dumped. Officers believe the incidents may be linked, and follow a series of similar incidents involving tyres in the Arun district. Further incidents have taken place with locations including: Thickett Lane, Halnaker – around 160 tyres, Wakehurst Lane – around 200 tyres, Chithurst Lane/Iping Lane – around 49 tyres, Fyning Lane – around 48 tyres, Downs Road – around 12 tyres, West Stoke Road – 35 tyres, Old Wick / West Broyle – around 29 tyres, and Selhurst Road bridleway – around 37 tyres. “The number of tyres illegally dumped in such a short space of time is unprecedented,” said Cllr Roger Barrow, cabinet member
for residents’ services at Chichester District Council. “Flytipping is unsightly and damages our environment. It is also expensive – each year our council spends more than £52,000 clearing illegally dumped waste from our district. Items like tyres need to be specially disposed of so this costs local taxpayers even more. “We take incidents like this extremely seriously and I would ask residents to think back recently: have you seen any suspicious vehicles in these locations, at strange times of the day or night, have you had any tyres taken away yourself? "Quite often, we need to piece together several pieces of information to build up a picture, and so every detail is of potential significance." You can call the waste and recycling team in the strictest confidence on 01243 785166 or report other incidents at: wastenadrecycling@ chichester.gov.uk For more information about flytipping, visit: chichester.gov.uk/article/29609/Questions-aboutfly-tipping

Repair cafe is a success
DON'T MISS OUT!
f Volunteers repaired a range of items
kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE CITY'S first Repair Cafe session was a huge success, with many people bringing their broken items in for fixing. All the repairers volunteered their time last Saturday, working upstairs at the Quakers, without a booking system. The Repair Cafe made 17 repairs and gave advice with seven repairers, plus a bike repairer, although there were no bikes to be repaired. The textile repairs brought a slew of broken zips and buttons that had fallen off, the electrical repairs started with the extension lead for the lighting, so repairers could see what they were doing. There were several sewing machines tested for electrical faults but found to be OK, so in this case spare parts weren’t required. The Repair Cafe idea started in 2009 in Amsterdam and is an idea that has now been adopted worldwide. Organiser of the Chichester Repair Cafe, Jenny Cole, said: "Overall, we were delighted with the response to the Repair Cafe, both from volunteer repairers giving their time, to the public in bringing their repairs through the door.
"We hope that next month, when we have the whole of the Quaker Meeting House to use, more types of volunteers will be represented. We will be able to do more and offer a wider selection. "If you know of anyone who is handy at problem-solving in a practical way, let them know that we are looking for more repairers, as it’s always good to have a wider variety of people to ask for help." A provisional list of repairers and other groups invited for the next meeting include four problem-solving electrical/ mechanical repairers, knife sharpening (knifes must be wrapped), textile repairs, ornaments glued, bike repairs and two furniture repairers and upcycling advisers (please bring photos to show them your furniture). The Repair Cafe also do refills of washing-up liquids, laundry liquids, conditioners, energy and solar power advice and a West Sussex waste reduction team advisor is on hand to answer any queries. The next meeting will be held on Saturday, October 13, at 2pm, at the Friends Meeting House, (Quakers) in Priory Road Chichester PO19 1NX.

I wouldn’t have gone on to university and I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in. “From day one, we were working with professionals, getting real experience and employed in a job that without the apprenticeship "I wouldn’t have been able to do at that stage. And our experience at Chichester was brilliant – the teaching we received was fantastic.” Julie Kapsalis, managing director (commercial) at the Chichester College Group, added: “We are extremely proud to be among the first colleges to celebrate the successful completion of town planning apprenticeships. "As a college group, we are committed to working with industry to deliver courses and training that meet their needs.

How frightening to be a parent in the days of technology
A special celebration for town planning apprentices at college THE FIRST town planning technical support apprenticeships in the country have been completed at Chichester College. To celebrate the occasion, the college brought together all its town planning apprentices for a special afternoon to recognise their accomplishments. This entry level apprenticeship programme was first introduced at the college in 2015, with five apprentices embarking on the scheme which was developed by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and the Construction Industry Council. Jamie Alley, Nicholas Whittington, Greg Anderson, Alex Carruthers and Andrew Pommells were the first five to sign up, and completed their course in 2017, followed by 20 further apprentices completing their studies this year. Jamie, who has gone on to university to complete his degree qualification, said: “The apprenticeship experience we had was invaluable. Without this,

AS I’ve mentioned previously, I’m very fortunate to be a parent to 2 girls. When I became a parent I had no idea the perils I’d face in the modern world of technology. I like to think of myself as computer savvy, hell I can type a letter, send an email, search the internet and order my shopping on line. However, although on Facebook, I’m not on Twitter or Musicality or Instagram, but it is a prerequisite of youth to be on all social media. I see young girls pass my office taking selfies, obviously to upload to Instagram or Facebook or some other social media site later. I find my daughter’s lives are lived out on the internet. Their friends lives are lived out on the internet and everyone want to be a YouTube star. What happened to wanting to be a nurse or teacher? Am I the only one scared as a parent on who my children are connecting with. Don’t get me wrong, I’m super vigilant, like a Ninja
on checking the social media of my children, but you seriously need eyes in the back of your head. They’ve had followers from all around the globe that I’ve had to block as we don’t know them. How can one child know 500 people internationally? Also, how do we know these people are who they say they are? Speaking to friends, they too face the same perils, it makes me wonder, have things actually improved for our children. I remember dating in my youth and a guy would phone my home number and my mum would answer. I would sit in the hall, (we only had the one phone), so the only reason he called was to make a date. Now kids are dating off the internet, chatting on whatsapp, never having met each other. Have things really improved for our kids or are we just now living in an alternative reality where you can be whoever you want to be without leaving your home?

` New artwork ARTWORKS by major contemporary British artists including Damien Hirst, Rachel Whiteread and Tracey Emin have been given a permanent home at Pallant House Gallery. The six works by Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Peter Blake, Rachel Whiteread, Gavin Turk and Michael Craig Martin are a gift to the gallery from Frank and Lorna Dunphy under the Cultural Gifts Scheme. Ranging from paintings to sculptures, the new artworks help demonstrate the legacy of British Pop Art and the development of conceptual art in Britain through the works of the Young British Artists (YBAs). The YBAs were a loose group of British artists who began exhibiting together in the late 1980s. They became famous for their openness to materials and processes, shock tactics and entrepreneurial attitude. Pallant House Gallery is home to one of the most important collections of British art from 1900 to now, comprised of donations from passionate collectors like the Dunphys. Formed with different tastes and impulses, each of these groups of works offer different perspectives on the story of modern British art, making the gallery’s collection one that is rich, engaging and unique. The new works are among the most contemporary in the collection and will allow the fallery to demonstrate the story of British art more fully.

Glow in the dark golf course will suit kids down to a tee BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CHICHESTER Golf Club has opened an 18-hole, indoor, glow in the dark course - possibly the only one of its kind in the UK golfing world. The new course at Hunston has been created in just five months, to help the club attract visitors in all weathers. Sally Haygarth, owner of Chichester Golf Club for 18 years, said she got the idea from America. She said: "Our outdoor adventure golf course has been in place for four years now. The idea for our new one came from the frustration of it being the summer holidays and pouring with rain and therefore having no customers. "I wanted something inside which the weather couldn't spoil. There isn't a great deal to do in bad weather in this area. I saw a similar one in America and thought it would work well here." The 18-hole golf course can be found at the new extension which backs on to the driving range. Visitors are given a glow in the dark ball and putter to play in the black room kitted out with UV lights. The theme is an 1850s vanity fair with a battle
between pirates and English soldiers. The room is decorated with images of soldiers, pirates, mermaids, fish and each hole has unique obstacles including shark fins and octopus. Sally continued: "We commissioned an American company to do the fit-out. We kept saying everything has to be black, the air conditioning, the lights, everything! "We already have some school parties booked in and corporate bookings. The great thing about this is it's open from 9.30am to 9pm daily so it's really an option for all ages. We like to think of it as an alternative to bowling or the cinema and we have our restaurant here, too, so people can get something to eat after. "We are also recruiting more staff for
different time slots too. A lot of people don't want to come to golf clubs because they think they are stuffy and full of old men but we are welcoming families and children. "It gives children a chance to try out an activity and go on and try lessons if
they like, or give the driving range a go. We now have our indoor and adventure golf, footgolf, pitch and put, the driving range and our golf course, so there is something for everyone." For more information, visit: chichestergolf.com/ indoor-adventure-golf/

Stepping back in time with steam, speed and style at the 20th Revival BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk TRAVELLING back in time to vintage years, visitors to this year's Goodwood Revival were treated to some spectacular sights. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the popular car event and 70 years since the formation of British Railways, those attending got up close and personal to a steam train parked up near the track. THe Loco 9017 complete with steam was showcased on a track with actors dressed in vintage outfits consisting of passengers and staff. THere was even a miniature version taking passengers on a mini track alongside it. It is a Dukedog loco – a nickname earned due to being an amalgamation of a Bulldog chassis and a Duke boiler. THe frames of the loco came from a 1906 Bulldog, and the boiler and cab of Chepstow Castle, a Duke class loco built in 1899. THe engine was rebuilt as a Dukedog in 1938. THe engine weighs 49 tons, with a tender of 40 tons – 56ft 1.5in overall in length, a water capacity of 3,500 gallons and a coal capacity of six tons. Also celebrating 100 years of the RAF, this year's Freddie March Spirit of Aviation section showcased some iconic British planes, including a Lysander, Hurricane and Spitfires. THere were also several air shows featuring three Spitfires and a Hurricane
with barrel rolls and loop-the-loops. VIPs, motor-racing personalities and members of the press flocked to Goodwood’s race control building for the Credit Suisse Historic Racing Forum on Saturday morning. A distinguished panel met to discuss ‘THe Challenge of Le Mans’ where Derek Bell, five times a winner of the famous 24 Hours, talked about the subject with Alain de Cadenet, Gordon Murray and 1989 victor Jochen Mass. Broadcaster Bruce Jones hosted the event, and topics covered included the different approaches taken by different teams – with Derek Bell recalling that on his debut for Ferrari in 1970 he was told simply to “get in and drive”. His later races for Porsche were much more disciplined, and he described the German team as being the greatest he ever drove for. Gordon Murray also shared his memories of adapting his McLaren F1 road car into the GTR racer, which sensationally won at Le Mans on its debut in 1995. THroughout the F1’s development, he had been adamant that it was not going to go racing – but eventually he relented, and the GTR wrote itself into the history books. THe Earls Court Motor Show was transformed into scenes from some of legendary actor, Steve McQueen’s most memorable appearances on the big screen. Representative vehicles from THe
Great Escape, Bullitt and Le Mans were on display, arguably the most famous movie car chase in history was recreated as a Ford Mustang GT390 and Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum return sideby-side as they did in 1968’s Bullitt. Turning the clock back to 1943, a BMW R75 bike with sidecar and a Ford V3000 S Truck sat with the very Triumph TR6 Trophy bike that Steve McQueen used to try to escape from the German Army in THe Great Escape. THe Triumph was actually dressed as a BMW for the film. Finally, a Jaguar XKSS, an Austin Mini Cooper S Mk2, a Porsche 356 Speedster and an Indian Chief motorcycle represented Steve McQueen’s own personal collection. THe Revival's 'Over THe Road' section had plenty of market stalls to browse, along with a vintage funfair, Butlin's Roller Rink, the Wall of Death and the iconic Bonham's auction. Phil Keen brought the curtain down on the 2018 Goodwood Revival Meeting with a brilliant drive to win from the pitlane for the Sussex Trophy cup. THe British GT charger had qualified Jon Minshaw’s ListerJaguar on pole, only to have problems on the grid. THe car was pushed into the pitlane, Keen being obliged to watch the entire field flash past before he could embark on the mother of all comeback drives.

` Care home makeover EAST DEAN Grange Care Home has recently completed a £163,000 refurbishment supported by residents who live there. Each room at the care home in Lower Street, East Dean, has been redecorated - including new carpets laid down according to the wishes of the residents. Several bathrooms have also been converted to wet rooms in order to maintain the independence of some residents. Staff and contractors were determined to involve the residents as much as possible in the planning process. They were shown various carpet samples and different shades of paint for their rooms and communal areas by the contractors, while choices made by the residents were then put to a majority vote. Despite having to move out of their rooms temporarily, their “Dunkirk spirit” helped residents remain patient as work progressed. Staff also assisted residents in rearranging their bedroom furniture. Vanessa Farmer, home manager at East Dean Grange, said: “We are really pleased with the refurbishment work that has taken place here at East Dean Grange. The home has a new lease of life and it is important to us that the residents have a say in décor as it is their home.” Plans are already underway for purchasing new furnishings and renovating the garden to provide a more relaxed and secure space for residents.

All change for Carol's book BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk GUESTS gathered on Thursday to hear an author from Chichester talk on her new book set in August, 1914. Carol Godsmark, pictured, held a special book launch evening last Thursday at St john's Chapel with Greg Mosse interviewing and Steve Wallace reading extracts. All Change tells the untold story of the First World War through the eyes of Ted Digby, a middle-aged bus driver who, on an impulse, signs up without telling his wife, Norah, or his daughter, Ruby. With his still-red double decker, Ted swaps his usual route from Euston Station to Shepherd’s Bush for a route to the battlefields. With him is his young, vulnerable co-driver, Billy Boy Cotgrave. Carol said on writing the book: "When I came to the UK from Canada as a student in London, I was bowled over by the hop on, hop off red double decker bus with their colourful conductors which took me from home, on the no. 11, 19 or 22, to college by Tottenham Court Road. "I have always since loved this type of bus for the journeys it can take you on around London. When I read about a First World War bus being restored by the London Transport Museum funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, I kept the story in mind then went to see the restored bus and started a year’s research into these 1,000 buses taken from the streets of London from August, 1914, to transport soldiers to the Western Front as well as being put to use as ambulances and transformed into mobile pigeon lofts for pigeons to carry messages to the front. "I imagined one driver, a middle-aged one with a mid-life crisis taking a chance to have a last adventure, the story also following his family, wife, Norah, and daughter, Ruby, whose lives were changed forever as they filled jobs vacated
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.

by men who had signed up to fight. The book’s chapters alternate between Ted on the Western front and his new life, and Norah’s and Ruby’s changed lives on the Home Front in the East End of London. My year’s research included many visits to the Imperial War Museum’s archives and the London Transport Museum’s archives, as well as elsewhere, including the Woolwich Arsenal, London. "My parents were Canadian diplomats and we first moved behind the Iron Curtain to Prague when I was eight. We then moved to live in Switzerland and then to Denmark, my schooling at local schools rather than boarding schools, my parents keen for us (three siblings, two brothers and me) to get to know different cultures, different languages. I also went to high school in Ottawa before coming to the UK." Carol has written six non-fiction books and has been a journalist for over 25 years, 18 of these as restaurant critic and travel writer. She is currently working on another book, a thriller in a contemporary setting. Carol also works as the PR and Marketing manager for Chichester Cinema at New Park and is one of three organisers of the Chichester International Film Festival.

A Wildflower Meadow in a Pot Growing wild flowers in containers is a great way of introducing a multitude of colours into a growing area whilst attracting pollinators at the same. They can look stunning in a window box or a pot or trough and are a great way to bring the countryside into an urban garden. There are several options when it comes to selecting seeds. You can mix different varieties together yourself so you have your own tailor made seed mix. You can go for one of the pre-mixed wild flower seed packs that are available in garden centres or via mail order. Or, you could try some Seedballs - native wild flower seeds are mixed together with compost to form small balls that can be scattered where you want flowers to grow (www. seedball.com). Whichever you choose, there are a variety of different meadow mixes that work really well in containers and will incorporate some well known naive varieties such as... • Forget Me Not – a small plant with dainty blue-grey flowers, flowers
April-October • Red Campion – with its small red pink petals, flowers March-November • Yarrow – an aromatic herb with an umbrella of tiny white flowers, flowers June-August • Purple Loosestrife – a spectacular spike of magenta flowers, flowers June-August • Musk Mallow – swathes of small rose pink petals, flowers June-August Keep in mind that wildflowers do not like too rich a compost – they prefer poor soil with few nutrients – so choose a pot with good drainage holes in the base and mix a little compost with your garden soil and maybe a handful of gravel. Make sure you read the seed pack to find out how much seed to sow for the size of your pot and, as wild flower seeds can be on the small side, mix them with a bit of sand as it makes distributing them easier. Once scattered water gently and keep the soil damp until the seeds have germinated. Place in an open sunny
spot and turn the container occasionally, especially if placed against a wall, to avoid lopsidedness. Don’t overwater. If you grow wild flowers until they go to seed then you can save the seeds for the following year. Planting seeds in the autumn, a couple of months before frost starts, is a great way of ensuring early spring growth, or you can sow seeds directly into containers in the spring when the weather is frost free. 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) • Look after your lawn – weed it and seed it • Pick and harvest summer fruits • Bring tender houseplants inside • Continue to sow vegetables • Clear out the greenhouse • Collect and sow seeds gathered from plants in the garden • Plant spring flowering bulbs

Grant troops around town BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk ANOTHER being has invaded Bognor Regis and Chichester city centres from the Dark Side. Residents and visitors have been seen posing with a Stormtrooper around the Post areas for a few weeks. THe robot soldier has been parading around greeting people with high fives, hugs and friendly waves. Real name, Grant Warren Gibson, aged 23, from Bognor Regis, is enjoying his anonymous rock-star fame and says he does it simply to make people smile. Working full-time job as a carer, Grant uses his time off to cheer people up. He said: "I've been a Stormtrooper walking around for about five months now. I go round Bognor Regis, Pagham, Chichester and Fareham and just wave at people. "I try really hard not to talk to children who come up to me because they see me as a robot and don't care for the people inside the costumes. When I was little I saw a stormtrooper take his helmet off and I remember being really upset so I try and stay anonymous." Grant got his suit - it is made from fibreglass and cost around £700 - in Great Yarmouth and he put it together himself. He even got a blaster rifle 3D printed. A Stormtrooper is a fictional soldier in the Star Wars franchise, they are

the main ground force of the Galactic Empire, under the leadership of Emperor Palpatine and his commanders, most notably Darth Vader. Grant is known among his fellow Stormtroopers as Goldie because of the gold lenses in his helmet and his badge number 160695 - 1606 is his rank number and 95 because of his birth year. "I always wanted a Stormtrooper outfit since I was a child," said Grant. "I won't accept any money from anybody, it's all for free. If anybody insists, I donate it to charity."
f The Stormtrooper regularly reads the Post
A 'POTENTIALLY live' Second World War bomb was detonated in Pagham last Saturday. Littlehampton Coastguard was called to reports of ordnance at the beach. Photos were sent to the experts, who confirmed 'it could potentially be a live fused projectile'. A 100m cordon was put in place and the Selsey coastguard team was called for back up. THe explosive ordnance disposal team arrived from Portsmouth and decided the best action was to dispose of the item at the site by detonating it. Another item thought to be a risk was found to be safe. Darren Crisp, from Littlehampton Coastguard, said: Ordnance doesn't always look like something you would expect to be dangerous. "If you are unsure of something you see on the beach, dial 999 and ask for the coastguard."

City station is set to receive own soldier BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE CITY'S railway station is set to receive a soldier silhouette to mark the final year of the World War One centenary. Across the country, The Royal British Legion has been inviting the public to take part in a movement to say 'thank you' to the First World War generation who served, sacrificed, rebuilt and changed the nation. In support of the thank you movement, they are offering for donation a variety of silhouettes to symbolise the communities that took part in the First World War and helped shape the nation as we know it today. Cllr Trevor Tupper, of Chichester City Council, said: "I have been involved with Chichester as it is 'my' station, the previous home of The Royal Sussex Regiment, Royal Military Police, Tangmere and in the First World War, many thousands of soldiers left Chichester by train for the Western Front. Also the station was very busy in the Second World War, especially in the runup to D-Day. "Siting of a silhouette within the main booking hall is being discussed between Southern Railway and Dave Tilley of the Royal Sussex Regimental Association. The Mayor, Cllr Martyn Bell, is also involved as a member of the association.
Once siting has been settled, there will be a small exhibition around it, and a service of remembrance in early November. "Rowena Tyler, who is the line officer for the Arun Valley Line Group, Sussex Community Rail Partnership, has explored with parish councils along the line the possibility of placing one of these silhouettes at their stations and I understand that most of the stations from Horsham to Chichester will have one. Once siting and a few other matters have been agreed, Southern will meet the cots of the silhouettes, a very generous gesture." The silhouettes are near life-size and can be fixed to a wall or attached to an upright post in public or private spaces. In addition to the iconic image of a "Tommy" there are representatives of the members of the communities the nation says thank you to, including those who gave medical support, soldiers from across the commonwealth, RAF/RFC, Navy, munition factory workers and suffragettes who lead the fight for votes for women. The silhouettes have at their base the words "Lest we Forget" but any business or community group can buy and sponsor a silhouette and have its name incorporated in the base wording, as an act of Remembrance and supporting the valuable work of the Royal British Legion. For further information about the silhouettes, contact: silhouette@ britishlegion.org.uk

ARUN BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP
Business of the Year Awards 2018 WHO DESERVES AN AWARD FOR THEIR ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT? In this year’s Arun Business Partnership Business of the Year Awards, we are once again looking to celebrate someone who shares the entrepreneurial flair of local hotelier Robert Warham. For the aptly-named Robert Warham award for Young Entrepreneur of the Year award, the judges are looking for someone with a spark who is helping a local business to sparkle with their enthusiasm, resourcefulness and achievements.
A special award in memory
of a very special person
Robert Warham was responsible for the huge success that is now The Beachcroft Hotel in Felpham, Bognor Regis. During his 10 years at the hotel, Robert developed a fabulous team and was passionate about bringing forward young talent. This award is to recognise a young person, under the age of 35, who shows that spirit of entrepreneurship that Robert would have loved.
The judges are looking for someone with a spark Not necessarily someone who owns a business, but someone who is an achiever, who knows where they are going and is determined to get there. They may have already overcome some obstacles but even if they haven’t, they’ll know how to do that when they arrive.
What are the Award categories?
Sponsored by the Best Western Beachcroft Hotel – of course!

Motorists enjoy time travel NEARLY £4,000 has been raised by Bognor Regis Motor Club on its latest historic car tour. THe club's eighth tour and picnic saw a packed field of 80 cars, all registered before 1985, take to the roads for a leisurely and enjoyable drive for a good cause. THis year's event raised well over £3,875 for the Kent Surrey Sussex Air Ambulance on top of the some £27,000 raised for charitable causes in the previous years of the event. Ali Green, the club's press officer, said: "THere was a veritable feast for the motoring enthusiast. THere was another full entry with an amazing array of vehicles from a 1926 Frazer Nash Fast Tourer and a 1927 Alvis 12/50 SD to 12 Austin Healeys, a very rare 1956 Daimler Drophead Coupe and a Dart SP250. "Variants of Triumphs, MGs and Minis were also entered. Many other British and
European marques were present as well, plus a Ford Model A and Mustang and some different eras of Cobra." Like the previous tours, the start was hosted by Great Ballard School at Eartham. THe 104mile route headed north through picturesque countryside, bathed in hot sunshine, to lunch at Farnborough Air Sciences Trust. THis was followed by a drive for a private cream tea and visit at the rarely opened heathland garden at Champs Hill in Coldwaltham. THe tour's last leg took the drivers to Old Ditcham Park Farm for a hog roast and cash bar. Live music from the Chichester-based Tom Belbin Trio provided an enjoyable end to an event recognised in the prestigious Historic Rally Car Register's scenic tour calendar. THe latest tour took the club's charitable fundraising to more than £600,000 in the past 21 years.

` Property law change LANDLORDS of properties across Bognor Regis and Chichester have been warned to comply with a law change. From October 1, the legislation for houses of multiple occupancy will remove the current 'storey height' criteria. THis will mean all of the privately rented properties are occupied by five or more people who form at least two households - and who share basic amenities - will require a licence. Landlords who lack a current licence must submit a valid application for one before the end of this month. It is an offence to operate such a property without a licence or fail to comply with any of its conditions. THe government has also introduced minimum sleeping room sizes and waste disposal requirements, which will be included as licence conditions for new licences. Existing HMO licences will remain valid until they expire. Cllr Stephen Haymes, Arun District Council's cabinet member for technical services, said: "THe council is committed to ensuring standards within the private rented sector are improved." More details are available from the relevant district council.

Charter shows council will help MND victims f The Rev Canon David Nason performs the blessing
RAF cadets' new banner blessed A NEW banner has been presented to the Bognor Regis cadets' squadron. THe standard was donated to 2351 (Bognor Regis) Squadron RAF Air Cadets by a family in the town. A spokesman said: "THe donation was in recognition of the squadron's achievements in encouraging an interest in aviation, in developing good citizenship in generations of young people and for the way it has represented the parent service since the closure of RAF Tangmere in 1970." THe gift also marked the centenary of the RAF. THe blessing was performed at the squadron's base in Chichester Road in North Bersted by the Rev Canon
David Nason, the chaplain to the London and South East Region of the RAF Air Cadets. After the ceremony, Cadet Emily Sherrington received the banner from him. Her escorts were twin brothers, Coporals Samuel and Jacob Towler. THe old banner will be laid up, in line with the traditional custom, as a mark of respect to those who have given service behind it. THis will take place at the Bognor Regis Battle of Britain service at 10.30am this Sunday at the town's Methodist Church in Waterloo Square. THe annual event is organised by the local RAF Association branch.
RESIDENTS in the Post area who are living with an incurable illness will have the support of West Sussex County Council. Its cabinet member for adults and health, Cllr Amanda Jupp, has signed the five-point charter of the Motor Neurone Disease Association to show its commitment to help people with the condition and their carers. THe charter outlines the respect, care and support that people living with motor neurone disease (MDA) and their carers should expect.
Cllr Jupp said: "It is vital we raise awareness of MND so people understand what a devastating disease it is. "THe county council signed up to the charter as it is committed to ensuring that people living with disabilities - of any kind - and those who are caring for them, should be treated with respect and provided with timely information, preventive services, and access to care and support when and where they require it." MND is an incurable, rapidly developing disease which affects a
person's brain and spinal cord. It attacks the nerves which control movement to prevent muscles from working. Up to 5,000 adults in the UK are affected at any time and six people are killed by the condition each day. Steve Dyer, president of the West Sussex North branch of the association, said: "Motor neurone disease is a fatal condition seizing independence from even the strongest of individuals. "Health and social care crucially need to be highly competent, accessible and co-ordinated."

THE ESCAPE, starring Gemma Arterton and the alwaysimpressive Dominic Cooper, is an emotional exploration of a fractured marriage. Arterton is magnificent as Tara, the stayat-home mother juggling never-ending laundry loads and repetitive breakfast routines for excitable children, but yearning for something more meaningful. With subtle commentary on class, as well as gender politics, The Escape is an impressive portrayal of existential angst and the disintegration of self, and Arterton’s performance is breathtaking. Cold War, for which Polish director Pawel Pawlikowski won best director at Cannes this year, is the story of Zula, a young woman from a provincial background who forces her way into a communist folk music troupe assembled for propaganda purposes in Poland in the late 1940s. Wiktor is one of the musical directors. He is a talented composer, toeing the line to keep in with the authorities but dreaming of exile and artistic freedom. He and Zula fall in love. When the troupe is allowed to travel internationally, this gives Wiktor and Zula the chance to defect westward. Will they take their chances for freedom? The Seagull, based on Anton Chekhov’s play, stars the alwaysdazzling Annette Bening, Saoirse Ronan and Elisabeth Moss, the women untangling their relationships between parents and children and the obsessive nature of love with comedy and melancholy.

The More You Ignore Me follows a woman suffering from schizophrenia. Adapted by Jo Brand from her own novel and around Blackpool, it follows Alice as she struggles to escape the shadow of her mentally ill mother Gina (Sheridan Smith). She's aided by her supportive father, Keith, and her grotty granny (Sheila Hancock) and a deeply unprofessional GP (Sally Phillips), who holds a torch for Keith. There’s a terrific warmth and strength to this good-natured, big-hearted British comedy. Those who love Nordic Noir, don’t miss Under the Tree, this Icelandic gem of neighbours warring over one tree, this biting comedy becoming progressively bleaker. Let Elvis’s Rolls Royce take you on a road trip via The King, director Eugene Jarecki driving the singer’s car through white working-class heartlands to places that meant a lot to the singer, talking to people about the King and to find a country in its bloated Vegas phase. The Merry Wives of Windsor, from the RSC on September 15, joins La Bohème (Sept 16). in this week’s Performances. Film courses at the cinema start again, Song and Dance on Film kicking off the rich season on September 14 with Michael Cox. Visit www.chichestercinema.org for further information.

Make yourself happy with more confidence CONFIDENCE is a strange thing. How do you define it? Some people appear very confident, talk with calm conviction, look amazing and seem to not have a care in the world. But this is not always the case…sometimes the most seemingly confident people in the world have a bunch of insecurities that in solid format, could fill Buckingham Palace. THe truth is, you never really know what’s going on inside someone’s head. Anything can give your self-esteem a knock, but over time life can take its toll and before you know it you are unrecognisable. I see people in my clinic every day that due to one reason or another feel they are a completely different person to they were ten or 20 years ago. Some mistake this for depression even, but sometimes, I think just feeling in control and regaining your power can be enough to give you that boost in life that you need to feel the fire in your belly again for living the life you want. Or give you the courage to make decisions that will benefit you enormously. In short, you cannot rely on anyone else to make you happy. Being around certain people can spark feelings of happiness, but your real happiness is within. When you are alone, with your own thoughts, are you genuinely happy with where you are in your life? Or with your partner, husband, friends, job, hobbies etc. THe list is endless and, of course, very personal to you. What is good for one person may not be good for another. Illness, for one, can really take you down emotionally, especially if you are in hospital for a while or bed bound for a length of time and cannot be
socially active if that’s what you love. But there is an array of other reasons too, why you may feel the need to regain your power! Whatever your reasons are, if you feel you are not quite yourself, and would like to learn more about gaining strength and confidence, through the mind and great nutrition, my colleague,, Jemima Eames and I are doing a day’s workshop on Saturday, September 29, at the Hilton Avisford Park hotel in Arundel, from 10am until 4pm. THe day is about regaining your own power, self worth, self-confidence and inner strength to help you move forward in your own life, the way that you want to. We believe it’s a lot easier than you think to feel powerful in your
In short, you cannot rely on anyone else to make you happy.
own right and take life by the horns to make things work for you! We are going to give you the tools and techniques to take home with you to support your mind and body, and think you will be amazed at the instant transforming results. Included in your day are refreshments, a healthy two-course meal and lots of tools, techniques, information and demonstrations to help create immediate change. THe cost of the day is £125, but for those of you that want to book early, there is an early birds offer of just £99. To get this amazing deal you must book your place and pay the full fee before September 18. For those of you who read my columns regularly, you will know that I have worked with Jemima for several years now. She is very experienced and incredible EFT (emotional freedom technique) practitioner, and has done many demonstrations over the years, with outstanding results. EFT helps to clear old beliefs and fears that are potentially holding you back. And, of course, my knowledge of nutrition and how to gain mental and physical strength with the best foods and super foods
on the planet is essential for you to be the best you can be. So, what are you waiting for! To book your place please call or email either Jemima or myself ASAP to get your early birds offer. THis could be just what you need to regain your self-belief! Denise: 07730671436 info@denisekelly.co.uk Jemima: 07796 355625 info@jemimaeames.com We look forward to hearing from you.

These finest* wines are fine find for good value Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys martin.lury@me.com
SUPERLATIVES are generally good indicators of quality, so off I duly sped to my nearest Tesco store primarily to evaluate some of their finest* collection wines. Two white wines at most competitive offer prices caught my attention, beginning with a 2016 Tesco finest* Soave Superiore Classico on sale for just £5.60. THe Classico on the label is indicative of the grapes coming from the best hillside area and floral aromas complement the stone fruit and ripe citrus flavours of this fine example. THis wine has a perfect balance of fruit and acidity and fermentation in oak barrels explains its extra dimension of
richness on the mid - palate and is one well worth purchasing. THe second white wine, a Tesco finest* 2018 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, for an outlay of just £6, proved to be a passion fruit extravaganza with concentrated fruit and a steal at this price for such a quaffable number! Time for a rosé, I told myself, and I was able to procure a Tesco finest* Côtes De Provence of 2017 vintage for the sum of £6.40. Pale pink in colour, this rosé from the sunny Mediterranean coast in the South East of France is thirst-quenchingly crisp and dry with abundant stone fruit flavours with notes of strawberries and redcurrants and would be an ideal pair to garlic prawns! In terms of red wines, I first espied a 2017 Tesco finest* Argentinian Malbec on offer for just £6 and made by the famous Catena family from the foothills of the Andes and noted the blackberry and plum flavours with notes of blueberry - a lot of bang for your buck and a good allrounder. For £1 extra, the 2017 Tesco finest* Saint -Chinian, a wine from the Languedoc -Roussillon region of Southern France
made from syrah and grenache grapes, turned out to be robust, brambly and a blend of dark luscious fruit with blackcurrant and hedgerow fruits and a hint of spice - a good pair to roast lamb. Finally, for an outlay of £9, the Tesco
finest* 2016 Lussac Saint-Émilion from the right bank of Bordeaux’s Gironde estuary proved to be full-bodied with blackcurrant, cedar wood and
savoury spice flavours and would be a great winter warmer as temperatures plummet. À bientôt, mes amis!

Community News & Views EVERYONE is invited to celebrate the fifth birthday of a Bognor Regis charity shop. THe outlet of the Chestnut Tree House children's hospice will be holding a party to mark the occasion with a party from 2pm3.30pm next Tuesday. Cllr Stephen Reynolds, the town mayor of Bognor Regis, will be attending to join in with staff, volunteers, customers and donors. Town crier, Jane Smith, will be proclaiming the good news from outside the shop in the London Road precinct. A beach party theme has been adopted to make the most of the reputation of Bognor Regis as mainland Britain's sunshine capital. A seaside 'head in the hole' photo frame, photo booth, popcorn, candy floss and sticks of rock will add to the frivolity. Free refreshments and a themed birthday cake will be among the trimmings. Jan Harper, the hospice's head of retail, said: "We would like to thank all our customers and donors over the last five years for their generous support. "In the past year, the Bognor shop team processed and sold over 40,000 items that were generously donated by local people - a fantastic achievement. "It costs £6,850 to provide for one day of care services at Chestnut Tree House. Last year, this shop alone raised enough to fund seven full days of care at the hospice, where the children receive specialist support and symptom management from our nursing team, while enjoying the fantastic facilities which the hospice offers." THe hospice, sited near Arundel, celebrates its 15th birthday this year. Its chain of charity shops have raised more than £9m in that time. Bognor Regis shop manager Jacky Donovan, left, is pictured below with some of her volunteers.
WORK is going on by West Sussex County Council to support military veterans returning to civilian life. THe council has been holding workshops for staff to learn how to support colleagues who have been in the armed forces. As part of its commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant, the council runs a guaranteed interview scheme to help those who have served in the military find a job afterwards. Four reservists recently applied for roles through the scheme. Fraser Pake is among those who were in the military and now work at the council. He is its corporate risk and business planning manager. He said: "I had three months left on my military contract and I saw a role that I felt was perfect at the county council. But I was concerned that I might not be given an opportunity to get to the interview stage. "Once I was sure I met the criteria for the role, as a service leaver I had the option to request a guaranteed interview, which I did." THe covenant aims to help to reduce the risk of veterans developing health and welfare problems as a result of longterm unemployment. But it does not necessarily mean a job offer will be made. Further training courses for staff are planned for next month and will provide more in-depth training for employees who wish to become military champions. Cllr Debbie Kennard, the council's cabinet member for stronger, safer communities, said: "We owe an enormous debt to our veterans and it is absolutely vital that we make the transition to civilian life as easy as possible. "THat is why it is brilliant to see the success of the recent workshops here and to hear what a big difference the guaranteed interview scheme makes."
A £5,000 donation was presented last week to charity, Love Your Hospital. THe Lodge of the Union 38, Chichester Free Masons added to the growing fun and the hospital have now reached nearly £20,000. Consultant urological surgeon Paul Carter said: "We are extremely grateful to THe Lodge of the Union 38. "THey are big supporters of our fundraising efforts and again have donated generously. "Everyone who sponsors the team will be making a real difference to patients needing urological health care in our local area.” Consultant urological surgeons from St Richard’s Hospital, Worthing Hospital and West Sussex Urology LLP are vowing to take on a gruelling 100-mile bike ride in a bid to raise £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. Amanda Tucker, head of charity for Love Your
VOLUNTEER car washers at a Rose Green funeral home have totted up the proceeds of their exertions. THe workers at Co-op Funeralcare, pictured above, raised £180 from their hours of washing and shining a variety of vehicles. As reported, the donation has gone towards their year of fundraising for the Wenceslas Appeal of Bognor Regis Lions Club to help those who are in fuel poverty. Shirley Heaton, a funeral
Hospital, said: "Love Your Hospital is the dedicated charity of Western Sussex NHS Foundation Trusts and it is only with the support and generosity of local groups such as the Lodge of the Union 38 that the charity is able to ensure that charitable funding is available so that patients can have access to the best and most modern facilities and that their stay is made as comfortable as possible. " THe team will join 15,000 cyclists on September 23, at the world-famous Goodwood Motor Circuit in Chichester for the start of the first ever Vélo South, a major new 100mile closed road sportive for the UK. Gary Sharp, secretary to the Lodge of the Union, added: “THe Lodge of Union, based in Chichester, has helped to fund a number of the Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation Trust projects during the past two years and is proud, once again, to support the trust and, in particular, this appeal that has a relevance to the members of our organisation. We are supporting the fight against prostate cancer.”
co-ordinator at the Nyetimber Lane business, said: "It was not long before we had a queue of cars eagerly waiting to be given a good once over. "After almost four hectic hours of hosing, shampooing and chamois leathering cars, our backs and arms were aching. "We lost count of exactly how many cars we washed in total as we had a number of very generous people who kindly put more than the required charge in the pot."
A SCHEME designed to help young women who struggle to afford sanitary products has arrived at Chichester College. THe college has become the first organisation in the area to sign up to the Red Box Project. It will be home to donation and collection boxes, with anyone able to donate sanitary products while students will be able to discreetly take what they need. Shelagh Legrave, Chichester College Group's chief executive, and Chichester College executive principal Andrew Green have shown their support by donating products. Ms Legrave said: "THis is a great example of how we are working with our local community to help tackle important social issues. "THe issue of period poverty is a serious one and it can have a major impact on many young women. THis is a step towards addressing this issue and supporting any of our students who may be affected." Mr Green said: "THis is a fantastic project and we are pleased to be able to support it, by both hosting a donation box for people to donate to and having red boxes with products for our students to be able to access. "If people would like to donate to the Red Box project, they can do so simply be popping into the main reception at the college." THe Red Box Project aims to alleviate any anxiety, embarrassment and stress caused by a lack of sanitary protection. Any students who require items will be able to access them via the college's welfare office and student union, where they can simply take what they need - with no questions asked. Lynsey Hutcheson is spearheading the project in Chichester and hopes many others organisations will follow the college and get involved. "It just takes one person to make a donation to make a difference to a young woman's life," she said. THe scheme was about all those who lacked access to sanitary products for any reason - not just period poverty. She is pictured below centre with Andrew Green and Shelagh Legrave.
A LANDOWNERS' group has welcomed the government's pilot scheme for non-EU seasonal agricultural workers. THe CLA - which represents about 5,000 members across the south east - says the latest announcement by ministers was a good idea but tackled only part of the situation. Government ministers say the initiative between spring 2019 and December, 2020, will help to tackle labour shortages during peak production periods. Visas for up to 2,500 workers a year will last for six months. CLA president Tim Breitmeyer said: "THe announcement of a government pilot enabling farmers to recruit non-EU migrants as seasonal workers between spring 2019 and the end of 2020 is welcome. "I'm pleased government is listening to the message from the CLA and others that urgent provision needs to be made. "It is positive that ministers are finally showing signs of taking action to ease the pressure in the immediate future. However, this pilot must only be a starting point, and only scratches the surface. It will allow for just 2,500 seasonal workers while the number of seasonal and permanent migrant workers currently employed by rural businesses across the UK is far greater." A much broader solution was needed to address concerns about the availability of labour after Brexit across the rural economy. THis included professionals as well as seasonal staff, he added.

The history of Priory Park from 1850 - Part two By Amy Roberts, Collections Officer at the Novium Museum NUMEROUS clubs and societies have made Priory Park their home, not least Chichester City Band and the bowling club as well as football, hockey and cricket clubs. Cricket first became a feature of Priory Park in 1851. An early club member, James Lillywhite, the keeper of the Wheatsheaf Hotel in North Street, rose to international fame for leading a cricketing expedition to Australia in 1877. The final match of this tour is recognised as being the first ever Test. In 2017, Priory Park Cricket Club transferred their 1st and 2nd XI games to Goodwood, and now only the 3rd and 4th teams play in the park. Bowling has taken place continuously in Priory Park since at least 1853. The current occupiers of the bowling green, Chichester Bowling Club, were formed in 1881. Originally a men’s association, it was not until 1980 that a ladies club was established. In 2010, the two
clubs amalgamated. The Hockey Club were first granted use of a pitch in Priory Park in 1947, but were not officially reformed until 1949, having been disbanded for a short time during the Second World War. From this point hockey was a regular feature of Priory Park sporting life. However, by 2016 the facilities in Priory Park were no longer suitable as the game now required all-weather AstroTurf pitches, and the club subsequently moved to Chichester College. Although football had been an activity welcomed in the park pre-1918, the corporation’s Priory Park committee resolved on October 23, 1918, that it would no longer be permitted, instead being transferred to the recreation ground at New Park. Within a year, however, this rule was overturned and in September, 1919, Chichester Football
Bowling has taken place continuously in Priory Park since at least 1853.

Club were permitted to play on Saturdays between September 27 and March 14. The year 1946 saw another change of heart when the committee resolved that football would be transferred to pitches in Oaklands Park. However, once again, in 1948, they relented and football returned to Priory Park. The final football ban was imposed in 1955 and Chichester Football Club moved for the final time to their current home in Oaklands Park. Most recently, the park remains a hub within the city, hosting festivals such as the annual Real Ale and Jazz Festival which took place between 1981 – 2011, and in 2018 the city’s first Gin Festival was hosted in the park. Other events include the New Park Cinema’s Open Air Cinema as part of Chichester’s International Film Festival. These outdoor screenings, which started in 2011, have proved extremely popular, reaching capacity crowds in 2016 and 2017. In 2014, the park was graced with its very first public café, Fenwick’s. In 2017, the park benefited from some investment with the
erection of much needed new fencing. Events to mark the centenary of the 7th Duke of Richmond’s gift to the city began with the mayor-making ceremony, which took place in the Guildhall, Priory Park, on May 16. This was the first time the event had been held there since 1836. The celebrations will culminate in an anniversary ‘week’ at the end of September. Events include a re-enactment of the 1642 Siege of Chichester, the city’s largest teddy bears picnic, a celebrity cricket match and performances in the Guildhall of ‘The Hawkhurst Gang’, a play telling the story of the trial of the infamous gang of smugglers. If you would like to find out more about the history of Priory Park, local historian Andrew Berriman will be holding a talk at the Novium Museum on Thursday, October 11, at 6.30pm, which will look back at the last 2,000 years of the park and explore some of the park mysteries. Information taken from ‘Priory Park, Chichester: Its story in 100 objects’ by Alan Green.

Oysters and fine wine help Grace PostSport complete her marathon number 29 FOR MOST people, running a single marathon is a feat to be proud of. But for Bognor Regis Tone Zone Runners' Grace Natoli she just has to keep on running and has now notched up her 29th in style after being served up oysters, red wine and other gourmet nibbles along the way. New York, London, Paris, Berlin and Lyon have all been destinations where this intrepid runner has completed a 26 mile race. But in her search for the next big race, Grace stumbled on the event in Medoc. Taking part on roads just north of the French city of Bordeaux, the marathon saw wine, oysters, croissants and ice cream served up at the drinks stations to the 8,500 runners. Grace said: "THe atmosphere was electric. It soon became clear it this was going to be one great big running party." All in all, Grace said the race went through some 63 chateaux servicing 22 drinks stations along the 26.2 mile route so there was going plenty of opportunity to sample the wine. She added: "THis was not going to be an ordinary marathon where you feel lonely despite being surrounded by thousands of other runners. THis was different.
"THere was laughter, music and cheerful runners and locals cheering you. I could get used to this, I thought to myself. Having oysters at mile 25 and ice cream at mile 25.5 finished off this running part to a tee." And when she reached the end in a time of 5 hours 51 minutes, what was the prize? Along with a medal, Grace also received a prized 2009 red wine in a wooden presentation box. Closer to home, a cohort of 20 runners took part in the Littlehampton 10k on Sunday. Peter Lee led the way for the club, finishing in 37 minutes 1 second, finishing fifth overall and first in his age category. Debutant for the club Byron Kearns recorded a PB of 38:34 while first lady home for the club was Jess THomson, achieving another PB for the club of 42:07. Michael Manwill, Josey Faggetter, Gary Smith, Carl Bryant and Andy Miles all finished under 50 minutes. Stuart THomson and Robert Little finished just ahead of Debbie Patching on 55 minutes. Zoe Hemes continued her impressive form since joining in January (1:00:13) while Donna Vincent grabbed herself a PB (1:01) just ahead of Juliette Garrett and Lisa Broad.

Blues head to Kent in hunt for first win
f Charlie Wallace scores for Chichester
CHICHESTER RFC will be looking to banish their early season Blues and register their first victory of the campaign sooner rather than later. Director of Rugby Paul Colley has placed an emphasis on home-grown talent with the first XV featuring 12 players who have come through the youth ranks at Oaklands Park. But, as it is sometimes inevitable, patience seems to be the name of the game after Chi lost both of their opening matches in London South One. THe latest defeat came last weekend when the Blues were unable to take advantage of a fast start to hold off a spirited Tottonians side, eventually losing 30-22. Next up for Chi is a trip to Kent to play a strong Medway side tomorrow (3pm) who have put up 70 points in winning their opening two matches so far. Blues could have, and perhaps should have, taken something from the match against Tottonians last weekend.
An early lineout saw the ball spun out wide and skipper Charlie Wallace touched down in the corner. From the restart, an inside pass from Sam Renwick wrong footed the defence and Ben Polhill was on hand to dot down next to the posts, 12 - 0 with 15 minutes on the clock. But the visitors started to chip away at the score, so that with 45 minutes played they had edged into a 17-12 lead. Chi responded well. Ben Robson cut inside to outpace the defenders and touch down, with a twisting lunge across the line, 19-17. But that was as close as they got. With Blues looking for a bonus point try, a long clearance kick deep into Tottonians’ territory was returned by the fast running full back for a simple pass and easy score under the posts. A Tom Hutchin penalty closed the gap to 22-24 with just over 20 minutes to play. But the visitors scored two further penalties to seal the victory and deny Chi a losing bonus point.

ATHLETICS: Chichester Runners and Athletics Club's athletes are rounding off the season on a high with a series of good performances. Last month, Andy Hall travelled to the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham to compete in the British Masters’ Track & Field Championships with entries into the hammer and weight throw in the 55 - 60 age group. With four of the top five performers this year with the 6kg hammer the competition was always going to be close, but conditions made the circle particularly slippery. Having watched many of the competitors lose their footing or throw the hammer into the cage, Andy opted to throw off two turns rather than three. In second place after round one, he produced a longer throw of 40.89m in the fourth round to become the British champion. In the early afternoon, conditions improved slightly for the weight throw where Andy threw a new PB of 14.24 to finish runner up by just 30cm. Elsewhere, the club's youngsters did the club proud at the Sussex Track & Field Championships last weekend with the Under 13 squad finishing fourth while it was third for the Under 15s. A number of athletes also doubled up in the cross country as 28 club members were in the field of more than 350 for the latest West Sussex Fun Run League match at Fittleworth on September 2. THis brilliant turn-out resulted in the club finishing in sixth place with 111 points (only seven below the winners). THe club contingent was James Baker, Jason Snow, David Pike, Emma Hughes, Mike Moorcroft, Richard Holder, Tim Brown, Marcus Hammerton, Simon Ludlam, Nadia Anderson, Dan Busher, Tony Cooley, Elizabeth Robinson, Amanda Godfrey, Sue Barty, Peter Anderson, Jeremy Harrison, Nicola Jolly, Sue Baker, Vicky Irwin, Trevor Baker, Harry Mitton, Dave Barty, Martin Fryer, Gillian Brown, Laura Holder, Clare Snow and Jill Renson, plus Hal Edgar running in the junior race. * Entries are still being accepted for the Chichester Half Marathon. THe event on October 7 will bring hundreds of runners from across the south together to take part in one of three races: the half marathon, the ten miler and half marathon relay. Entry starts from £25. For more details visit: chichesterhalfmarathon.co.uk
RUGBY: Bognor RFC will be looking to make it two wins from two to kick-start their Hampshire Premier season. THe Purple and Greens head to Basingstoke tomorrow (3pm) keen to back up an opening day bonus point victory over Millbrook. After a flying start, the result never looked in doubt for the Hampshire Avenue side as three tries in each half secured a 39-5 victory. Skipper Josh Burgess said: "I’m happy with how the boys played today, it’s not easy facing a big rival early in the season. But we came out on top." First to cross was debutant full back Dan Robinson who finished well in the corner after soft hands from centres David Sweeney and Sam Newcombe. Shane Stevens and Paddy Burnett also struck in the first half either side of a sloppy try for the visitors. With Bognor also slotting over a penalty it was 20-5 at half time. Into the second period and it was all the home side. Former skipper George Castleton weaved in and out of a few defenders before crashing over. Centre Newcombe and winger Stevens rounded off the scoring in style.

Free-scoring Chi City get their RUR Cup defence underway
f Richie Hellen and Tom Simmonds (r)
Cup boost for Shea's Lions PAGHAM chairman Tony Shea has praised his side for the spirit shown in their FA Cup run which brought a welcome windfall to the club's coffers. THe SCFL Premier side bowed out of the competition in the first qualifying round last weekend after a 2-0 defeat to Bostik Premier side Whitehawk. More than 200 people packed into Nyetimber Lane to watch a valiant effort from Richie Hellen and Tom Simmonds side against a team competing at two leagues above them. And, despite the defeat, Shea said there was plenty to build on for the rest of the campaign. He said: "I thought we were the better side in the first half - everyone who was there will agree with that - but that came without us being threatening in the final third. "We got punished by two goals and the first one was due to a lack of concentration. THe level we were playing against just told in the end. We certainly matched them and I thought 2-0 was probably slightly unfair to us." Pagham's run to the competition netted the club a prize money windfall of more than ÂŁ5,000.
Shea said the money would be reinvested in the facilities at Nyetimber Lane - with a new dishwasher high on the priority list. He said: "It does cost a lot of money to keep a football club going. "Anyone who turned up on Saturday would see how the ground looks. We are all about improving where we can and if we can improve little bits then we will." Pagham followed up their spirited cup performance with a disappointing 0-0 draw at Broadbridge Heath in midweek which saw three players sent off. THat result leaves the Lions third in the league, still undefeated but seven points off top spot. Pagham have no game this weekend because of a bye in the FA Vase but return to action on Tuesday with a trip to Worthing United in the RUR Cup (7.45pm). THe Lions will be without last year's leading scorer, Dan Simmonds, who has joined Wessex Premier side AFC Portchester. Shea said: "It's disappointing but we do have options up front so we will just kick on."

FREE-SCORING Chichester City have goals in their eyes as they look to take their tabletopping league form into the cup. Miles Rutherford's side have been lethal in recent weeks, scoring 14 goals in their last three matches. Ten of those have come in the past week. First, Chi defeated Peacehaven & Telscombe 6-1 with Ellis Martin, Rob Hutchings, Matt Axell (2), David Herbert and Joao Andrade getting the goals. THey followed that up on Tuesday with a 4-2 win at home to Loxwood as Andrade, Herbert (2) and Sam Ndluv scored. THose six points extended City's lead at the top of the SCFL Premier where they have won six of their first seven matches. Next up for Rutherford's side is a trip to Crawley-based Oakwood tomorrow in the RUR Cup (3pm). Having won the competition last season, Chi will be keen to avoid any potential slip-ups against their SCFL Division One opponents. With Oakwood struggling in the league below, on paper it appears as though City will be able to keep up their fine form and secure a comfortable win.
f Matt Axell looks on as Chi net against Peacehaven
Double delight for Chi Ladies
CHICHESTER City Ladies boss Aaron Smith is urging his players to enjoy that winning feeling as they continued their excellent start to the season with two wins in four days. THe Oaklands Park side have started the National South campaign as they mean to go on by chalking up a 100 per cent record from their first four matches. With 12 points from 12, Chi sit top of the league ahead of a tough test on Sunday when promotion-chasing Coventry United make the trip south (2pm). City will go into the match on a high after a
late Molly Clark strike sealed all three points at MK Dons last weekend. THen, Smith's side sealed a second derby win this month over Portsmouth with a 2-1 victory over the Blues at Oaklands Park. Goals from Hollie Wride and Chloe Melton made sure Chi remain unbeaten at the top of the table with the luxury of resting a few players ahead of the crunch match this weekend. Smith, who only took up the reins this summer as Matt Wright moved into a more back office role, said: "We're going to try [and
f Chi celebrate the late winner at MK Dons
win every match], it may be a clichĂŠ but we will take every game as it comes. "Coventry won at the weekend and they be will tough on Sunday We will keep on enjoying it and whatever happens happens." Smith was particularly pleased with the effort shown by his side on the road at MK Dons. Playing at the MK Dons Stadium, Chi dominated possession and chances but just could not break the deadlock. After a re-jig at the break, City were able to cope better with the home side's pressing game. With ten minutes to go, it looked like City would come up short as Clark had a 40-yard strike saved, Tash Stephens headed over and Sara Tubby struck the post when she put the ball between the keeper's legs. Eventually, their persistence paid off when a short corner was played to Clark, who then curled the ball home from all of 30 yards. Smith admitted he was delighted with the win which was secured after he rested several players ahead of the Coventry match. He said: "THeir attitude has been impeccable. THey all know why we have done it and we've come here with some development players who have gained some valuable experience. "THe attitude from them has been fantastic. We said that we would have lost this game 2-0 last year, so to show the turnaround in the early part of the season has been excellent."
Selsey have an FA Vase shock in sight SELSEY are out to spring a cup shock as they take a six-match unbeaten run into the FA Vase. Daren Pearce's side welcome Southern Counties East Premier side Bearsted to the Bunn Leisure Community Stadium tomorrow (3pm) in the qualifying round of the national non-league knockout competition. Even though the visitors are facing a lengthy 180-mile round trip, Selsey will be tackling an uphill task. THe visiting Kent side play at a step higher than the SCFL Division One Blues and have already defeated SCFL Premier leaders Chichester City in the FA Cup this season. But Selsey go into the match full of confidence after a 0-0 draw at home to
Seaford Town last time out extended their unbeaten run to six matches. Fellow SCFL Division One side Sidlesham are also in FA Vase action against a higher ranked side, heading to Wimbledon to play Combined Counties Premier side Colliers Wood United tomorrow (3pm) Steve Bailey's side also have a midweek trip to league rivals Storrington to look forward to with a RUR Cup tie on Tuesday (7.15pm). In SCFL Division Two, Bosham broke their duck with a 3-2 win against Ferring last weekend thanks to goals from Alex Barnes, Luke Gregory and Ryan Coombes. THe Robins will look to follow up that victory tomorrow when they welcome Cowfold to Walton Lane (3pm).

Pearce points to hard work as unbeaten Bognor march on Next Game
CARSHALTON (A) Tomorrow, 3pm
BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce has praised the work ethic of his young squad as their good start to the season continues. After six matches unbeaten in the league, which has lifted them to third in the Bostik Premier, the Rocks took their good form into the FA Cup last weekend. Goals from Jimmy Muitt (2), Brad Lethbridge, Dan Smith and Mason Walsh secured a comfortable victory over Whitstable Town in the first qualifying round of the competition. THe victory secured Bognor a minimum of ÂŁ6,000 prize money and also sets up a tie with Bostik North side AFC Sudbury at home on September 22. Before then, though, Rocks return to league action with a trip to Carshalton Athletic tomorrow (3pm). THen, it is league cup action as the Velocity Trophy throws up a home match against Sussex rivals and fellow Bostik Premier side Whitehawk on Tuesday (7.45pm). Pearce, though, believes the moraleboosting win in the cup will set his young side up well for the challenges to come. He said: "Any good win by five clear goals away from home in the FA Cup, especially when their goalkeeper was man of the match, cannot be bad. "When you start winning a few games the players get more confidence in their ability
and that can lead to better performances and results. "THeir attitude from the start of the season towards hard work - which is what matters in football - has been excellent. "In our situation it's good to have a young hungry side that wants to improve. "We still have a few Achilles heels to work on - we're giving away opportunities which are not down to opponents' good play but more down to our sloppy play. "We got away with it on Saturday but it still remains a work in progress." Bognor's opponents tomorrow, Carshalton, have made a solid start to the new season. THe south London side have taken eight points from their opening five matches which means they sit 10th in the 22-team division. With one of the best defensive records in the league, Bognor will need to be at their creative best to break down their defence. Pearce said: "I watched Carshalton very recently when I saw them play Worthing and they lost 2-1. It was a very tight game which they could have taken something from and I expect another tight one there tomorrow. "We will create chances and it's just a case of taking some of them and making sure we keep it tight at the back. "But then, if you look at results, every team in this league can beat each other so we will need to prepare well."
Rocks recruit two youngsters ROCKS boss Jack Pearce has two new additions to the Bognor squad as he looks to keep the club's good start to the season going. Left-back Joe Tomlinson has joined the Nyewood Land outfit on a long-term loan from Premier League Brighton & Hove Albion while Charlie Osbourne has made a move to the Rocks from Portsmouth's development squad. THe moves coincide with a couple of departures from the club. Defender Archie Edwards, a former professional with Charlton Athletic, has left the club along with Harvey Sparks, a summer recruit from Worthing. THe latter is set to join Bostik South side Horsham in the search for first team football. Pearce said: "Harvey is leaving the club by mutual consent and Archie is going to look for a club nearer to where he lives and we have circulated his availability. "THe club would like to thank both players for their efforts for us this season and, of course, we wish them both well for the future. "Both Joe and Charlie have come in and we look forward to working with them to help them to develop and to enhance our options as we tackle the season ahead."

SIX WEEKS in from the start of the season and so far things are going all right. Last weekend was probably our best performance of the season as we won 5-0 away at Whitstable Town in the FA Cup. On the whole, everyone played quite well. I don't think the fact we were playing lower league opposition had too much to do with it. It's just that we played really well and had a good attitude towards the game and that showed in the result. Obviously, we scored some unbelievable goals, too, which is always nice. Jimmy got a couple and Mason got his first for us - it was great to see their efforts. THe reason for such a good performance was a combination of factors I think. We were playing lower opposition but we are also playing more and more together. I think key to the result and getting five goals was that we did not let up after the break. In previous games when we had gone a couple of goals up perhaps we had eased off slightly. But on Saturday we kept on going forward and we really killed them off. After going in two up at half time, we carried on doing what we do best and played well after the break. THat showed with the goals that we scored in the second half. THe first six weeks have also been good for me personally. I'm happy with how it's going and it's always nice to get recognised with a couple of man of the match awards. I think a lot of it is about setting an example a bit more as one of the more senior players during training and in matches. I think that is helping me play better. Wearing the captain's armband of course should not have that much of an impact
on the approach to games. As a player, you always like to play to the best of your ability whenever you can. But so far my stint as captain has been going quite well. Looking at things objectively, wearing that armband may have had an impact but I always believe you need to give your best whether you are captain or not. We have obviously had a few changes to the squad in the last few days. Joe has come in at left back from Brighton and he put in a good debut at Whitstable. Charlie has also come in from Portsmouth. He has done well in training and is a good lad to be fair to him. Having new faces coming into the squad has never caused any issues at Bognor. It's always been the same at the club. We give them a good welcome and as long as the right person coming in has no ego or attitude then they soon become part of the crowd. It's always gone quite well as generally people come to the club for the right reasons. It's never about money but because they want to play good football while winning as many games as we can and having a laugh as we go. THe next step for us tomorrow is a trip to Carshalton. Whenever we go away we usually get some info about strengths and weaknesses and how they play. We obviously have that before the match but preparation is always about us and how we play. Most of the teams we play against it's fair to say that we will dominate possession so it is about what to do with it. If we look at the goals we concede then that is through our own mistakes - we very rarely get cut open by good football. So we need to focus on how we defend and attack and hopefully we can get a result.
