BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CHICHESTER MP Gillian Keegan held an opening meeting on Friday in Boxgrove to enable constituents to ask her anything and has made plans to roll these out to local pubs.

THe meeting was held at Boxgrove Village Hall, with more than 50 people in attendance, including councillors and residents.

Mrs Keegan gave an introduction to her background and current position as MP. Constituents were then invited to ask questions about anything they wished - sujects included Velo South, the A27, rural school closures, Brexit and university fees.

Regarding Brexit, Mrs Keegan was asked if she would be really honest with her constituents. She said: "Yes, of course I will. We are doing the mother of all negotiations. It is really inconvenient us leaving. When you want different things, you have to compromise. I will do absolutely the best thing in the interest of keeping business and economy and jobs flowing."

A member of the audience described Mrs Keegan as honest. She said: "From one woman to another, I have sat and listened and I feel you are absolutely fantastic. I think your honesty is refreshing. I think it's jolly good that you

are here with your honesty and trying to help. I come with no hidden agenda, nothing at all, just to be nosey. You don't know me from Adam but I have met an awful lot of MPs, both Labour and everyone from different parties. THey have one agenda and that is a career."

Mrs Keegan said: "I love doing these and you did get a hard time, but to be honest, as a politician you get a hard time anyway so it's very good practice to be able to understand people's questions, fears, anxieties, concerns, and also anger. So it's a brilliant way of being in touch with your constituents.

"THe only thing is, is there are quite a few people who don't turn up to these meetings and quite often you do get people who have strong opinions who might come, so what I have been trying to do, to broaden my region and conversations with local people, is also to do the pub tours. We have done two as trials in Selsey, and we have discovered the people of Selsey are much happier to talk to their MP in the pub than in the town hall where I have been sat for the last year.

"Now we have written to all the pubs across the district and offered them, if they want, for me to come for an hour or two and people can just more casually give me their views. We have beer mats which we will put out which will say the pub name and time. THis is to hear people's more relaxed views."

Council grants delegation to spend a quarter of a million

COUNCILLORS have agreed to delegate to the deputy chief executive of Chichester District Council the ability to spend £250,000 for Southern Gateway.

Local enterprise partnerships (LEP) are partnerships between local authorities and businesses to help determine local economic priorities and lead economic growth and job creation within the local area.

At the full council meeting on Tuesday, council leader Tony Dignum said: "THe council secured £5m of Coast to Capital partnership funding subject to an agreement with LEP which was approved by council on March 6 and signed on March 27.

"Progress (on Southern Gateway) has been slower than expected. THe courts will now close only on December 21 and part of the replacement provision will be a pop-up court in the committee rooms for 43 weeks a year.

"Officers have also identified relocation sites for Royal Mail and Stagecoach.

"As the council has not approved a budget to spend the £5m funding from the LEP, the council's constitution would require every item of expenditure to be reported to the council for approval.

"However, the need to refer such decisions to the council could cause undue delay and might prejudice delivery of the project.

Cllr Adrian Moss said: "I am concerned that more items are taken from full council responsibility and handed to cabinet. I am not satisfied that this increases democracy or enables councillors to be involved in the day to day operations of the council.

"It is important that we are seen to be running an open and accountable council. I cannot support this decision being taken away from full council."

Bloomin' marvellous award given to Whyke

News 3

f The weather on Sunday caused flooding on the route

Opinions divided over event return From page one

f Dave Tilley at Whyke Estate

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk FRIENDS of Whyke have been awarded a high score at the South and South East in Bloom - It's Your Neighbourhood 2018 awards.

THe group, from Whyke Estate off Kingsham Road, in Chichester, received a grand total of points assessed of 81 so the level achieved was 'thriving', just five points from 'outstanding'.

THe comments said: "Although Whyke Estate Community Association (WECA) has now been disbanded, Dave Tilley, together with some ex-members, has continued the good work that

was previously done by WECA. THey liaise with the council, the council’s community warden, the housing association and the police.

"In conjunction with, and sponsored

by Hyde Housing Association, they have developed a memorial garden, on a piece of spare ground. It is a memorial for the local residents who served in World War 1 but residents of the estate can have their ashes scattered there and a memorial plaque displayed.

"THe residents maintain the garden. A hanging basket competition for residents has been organised for this year and it is hoped to add a front garden competition next year.

"THe Green at the centre of the estate

is very well used. It includes a full size football pitch, a well-equipped children’s play area, a band-stand and various benches."

West Sussex county councillor Jamie Fitzjohn said: "With regards to the development points raised within the competition assessment, I already have been working on installing and finding ways to fund the track around the green and the adult gym equipment with my district councillor colleagues.

"I am also pressing for the ‘grass’ (mud) verge outside of the shops to be made into a formal parking bay so that the verge is not carved up in wet weather.

THe strip of land is owned by Chichester District Council."

Jof still completes 100 mile cycle ride - see page eight

"I came up with the idea of a cake stall to raise money for the stroke association. When we heard Vélo South was cancelled, I was left with tons of cake, tea and coffee.

"In the last few days, cyclists have donated online to my thanksgiving page, raising £370 so far. I have lived here for 22 years and never seen so much hate. THe abuse I have received has been terrible. THe cyclists have been there for me and for that I will be always grateful."

At an open meeting last Friday, Chichester MP Gillian Keegan was asked about her views on the event and whether she would be prepared to stop the event taking place next year.

She said: "I had about 60 letters against Vélo South, which came from residents largely of the most affected villages, most of them saying it was done without consultation, and they did not see why roads should be closed for seven, eight, nine hours. I had other letters, not as many, but plentiful, saying we are trying to encourage healthy living, it's only one day, it's great for tourism. I had businesses, hotels and bed and breakfasts saying

it's great for our business.

"I don't think the view of stopping it ever happening again would be representable of everybody."

A Stop Vélo South campaign group spokesperson said: "We now look to the future, there is a renewed sense of community spirit in West Sussex.

We’re all motivated to embrace cycling and plans are in full motion to put on an event as an alternative to Vélo South - one that will work for residents, businesses and showcase the county at its best - progressive, collaborative and welcoming.

"THe legal challenge is still ongoing, as are calls for county council leader Louise Goldsmith to engage with residents regarding future cycling events."

A Vélo South spokesperson said: “Based on the advice of our thirdparty health and safety company and our medical team, we concluded it would be unsafe to attempt to deliver an event of this scale in the forecasted conditions.

“We are determined to re-schedule the event for 2019 and we will work with our local authority and partners to try to identify an alternative date as quickly as we can."

` Sexual assault A MAN has been arrested and charged in connection with a sexual assault in Chichester.

THe incident, involving a woman in her 30s, is reported to have occurred about 11.05pm on Saturday, August 25, in Green Lane.

Peter Dunn, 49, unemployed, of no fixed address, was arrested after an e-fit and witness appeal was circulated by police on social media.

He appeared at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, last week, charged with sexual assault, and was remanded in custody ahead of a trial at Portsmouth Crown Court on October 15.

` Housing support AS reported, West Sussex County Council proposed at the end of last month to end all existing housingrelated support contracts from next April.

Cllr Jamie Fitzjohn said at a meeting last week: "I want to clarify a point about the housing support grant.

THe decision has not been made, it is a proposal, currently under consultation with the districts and boroughs because they are the statutory authorities who look after housing.

"At the moment, the proportion of how much money goes into them is probably a bit disproportionate so it's a negotiation. So it's also a negotiation between the charities as they are also included within the consultation.

THe decision will not actually be made until November, after the full consultation has been done."

City campaign for the People's Vote

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk MEMBERS and supporters of the Portsmouth and Chichester branch of the European Movement took to the Market Cross on Saturday to campaign for a people’s vote on the final Brexit deal.

Joined by colleagues from Brighton and Worthing, participants asked the public for their opinion about the effect of a no-deal Brexit or a negotiated Brexit and whether or not they supported the call for a people’s vote.

David Rowen, chairman of the European Movement Portsmouth and Chichester branch, said leaflets were distributed and passers-by were asked to sign a petition calling for a vote. He added: "Many national proEurope organisations like the European

Movement and Open Britain, along with dozens of local pro-Europe groups, have come together under the banner of the people’s vote campaign." One of the tools used was the ‘Brexitometer’ where passers-by are asked to place a sticker in a yes/no/not sure box against three key questions, the last of which is “do you support a people’s vote?” Response was overwhelmingly in favour of a vote.

"Pressure for the vote is gathering pace across the country such that neither government nor opposition can ignore it. Similar street events will be taking place across the country in the coming weeks ahead of a major rally scheduled to take place in London on October 20.

"With Chichester almost evenly split between leave and remain at the time of the referendum and with the government also now divided over the direction of Brexit, a people’s vote on the final deal is more important than ever.”

f Police would like to identify this man seen in these two photos

Pensioner robbed in city centre POLICE would like to identify the man in the picture after an elderly man was robbed in Chichester.

THe victim, a man in his 90s, had gone with a friend to Nationwide bank in North Street, Chichester, around 1.20pm on Monday, September 10, and withdrew £1,000. He then walked along East Street and St Martins Street to use the public toilets.

Once inside, two men approached the victim and said he had dirt on the back of his jacket. THe pair pulled the jacket off the victim, patted down the pockets and subsequently stole the money that had just been withdrawn.

Detective Constable David Midgley said: “We believe the two suspects followed the victim from the bank and seized their opportunity to rob him

when he went into the toilets.

“THe pensioner has been left, understandably, shaken by this incident and we are keen to trace the men who did this. Do you know who these men are?

“I would like to speak to anyone who has information regarding the pair or noticed anything suspicious at this time.

“Also, I would like to hear from anyone who has any dash cam footage of North Pallant and Baffins Lane car park just after 1.30pm on this day."

You can report information online or by calling 101 quoting 598 of 10/09. Alternatively, you can visit the Crimestoppers website or contact the independent charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.

It's a dog's life as Great Dane wins best in show at Boxgrove

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE ANNUAL Boxgrove Companion Dog Show took place on Saturday with plenty of pooches and their owners braving the bad weather.

THere were stalls with books and dvds and refreshments also available.

Penny Goude, from Siddlesham, attended with her Doberman, Esme, aged one, and her mother, Caroline, who was visiting from Slough, with her Doberman, Pippa, aged six.

Penny said: "It's the first dog show I have ever been to. It's really well laid out and well organised. I like the fact that the announcer calls out your numbers so you know where you need to be."

Danielle Martin went with her sixmonth-old bullodg, Bowser, and her mother, Lisa Collard, and her nine-yearold Pug, Pansy.

Danielle said: "We came so the dogs can socialise and meet other dogs.

We go to lots of different dog shows throughout the year. It's nice here, everyone is really welcoming and there are lots of lovely dogs."

Post reader's joy for home

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CHICHESTER Post reader, Marcelle Ward, has had planning approval to permanently keep a mobile home on her land.

THe grade four para dressage rider, who uses leftover copies of The Chichester Post as bedding for her horses, was diagnosed with hip dysplasia aged 36 and suffers from rheumatoid arthritis.

In 2014, Marcelle and her husband, Dave, got the green light to have a mobile home on their land for three years while she trained for the 2016 Olympics but her health issues meant she was unable to compete.

Marcelle competes with her chestnut mare, Dornroeschen, aged 12, as part of the BEF Excel Talent Programme, which is lottery funded. She also teaches UK CC Level Two Dressage at home where her yard is adapted especially for her needs.

At Chichester District Council's planning meeting last Wednesday, Marcelle told councillors her business was doing well.

She said: "I came here nearly four years ago, asking for a chance to prove I could do it, which I have done.

"I think that although my disabilities are taken into consideration, I think I have demonstrated my ability to actually make this work and develop a business which is

"I am now standing here on the British Equestrian Federation Excel Talent Programme and I continue to campaign to compete on the world stage. I can now share that knowledge with my clients that I teach, that I coach, who come to me.

“So for every world-class lesson I have with my horse, I get to share that and share that knowledge and experience with local people that come to me who I coach. I think that’s unique to the area."

Planning chairman, Cllr Bob Hayes, said: "I know the site reasonably well and I have no issues with it. It is a well hidden site and I applaud the ability and disability."

Cllr Jane Kilby said: "I fully support this application and think it's very suitable for this rural location. I have no problems."

Cllr Les Hixson said: “THis is a really exciting development over many years and it’s going to be very good for the future.”

After the meeting, Marcell said: "I am absolutely delighted by the decision. It has taken a long time and hard work.

"THe icing on the cake this week was my home bred mare won an award for Best British Bred at the national championships at Stoneleigh two days after the committee.

Another step forward for our breeding programme."

German air force's attempt to gain air superiority over the RAF from July to September, 1940. It inspired Winston Churchill’s famous quote, "Never was so much owed by so many to so few"a reference to the pilots who fought in the battle, who are now known as ‘THe Few’.

Flying Officer Mark Sonsthagen, Officer Commanding of 461 Chichester Air Cadets, said: "THese events serve to remind our communities that the younger generation, especially the Air Training Corps, are proud to represent the Royal Air Force in remembering the sacrifices others have made and continue to make to keep our Country safe. THe Battle of Britain was a turning point in the Second World War and "we will remember them".

Cutting the cake starts celebrations at Priory Park for centenary birthday

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CELEBRATIONS began on Saturday to commemorate Priory Park's 100th birthday.

THe 11th Duke of Richmond attended the opening ceremony and was joined by the Mayor, Cllr Martyn Bell, and Chichester District Council chairman Elizabeth Hamilton.

In his speech, Cllr Bell said: "It's a great honour for me to be here, as mayor on this occasion, and it brings, to my mind, my predecessor, 100 years ago, who was the mayor of Chichester, Sir Archibald Garland, who accepted, on behalf of the people of Chichester, the marvellous and very fitting gift of the park from the 7th Duke of Richmond.

"I think its marvellous that the 11th Duke is now here, 100 years on. I have personal memories, as has the mayoress of the park. Coming up to 20 years ago, we had our wedding photos taken outside the Guildhall, given that the registry office used to be in North Street in those days.

"Out son was at the Probendle school branch at Northgate House in North Street and he was always over here playing and I have just returned, two weeks ago from a Royal Sussex Regimental Association ceremony in Prie, Northern France when we commemorated those who gave their lives, for this country, in the First World War. It's a reminder of why we are here, and why the park was gifted by the

Duke to the people of Chichester as a memorial park."

THe 11th Duke of Richmond said: "It's lovely to see you all here, thanks for coming on this rather dull day.

"I am very honoured to be the patron of Priory Park 100 and I think it's a great thing to be celebrated. It's going to be a great couple of weeks. We are looking forward to the cricket match which my son is captain in a team. THey are rather better at cricket than their father.

"My father, of course, was passionate about his cricket and so it will be fabulous to have them here playing in this historic park. THis park was my great, great grandfather's, who gave this park 100 years today, literally, to the city of Chichester in memory of the fallen in the First World War. So it is a special feeling and very special for me to be here, today to celebrate this great moment."

THe Duke and Mayor then jointly cut a special cake made by Carol Sharp, of the Exclusive Cakes and Vintage Team room, in North Street, Chichester.

At 11.30am, a “special hands around the park” took place, where Friends of Priory Park chairman Richard Plowman took on his other role as Chichester's Town Crier to lead many of the societies and organisations in Chichester all around the park until the front of the procession joined up with the back. At that point, everyone held hands to show how important parks, and especially Priory Park, are for people's wellbeing.

Inside the Guildhall there was an Art in Action with many local artists and

f The Town Crier

craftsman demonstrating their work and in the afternoon a parachute jump took place by the Royal Navy “Raiders”.

A poppy cascade on the mound in the park was on show, organised by the Rotary Club who sent 1,200 poppies to schools across Chichester district.

Lynne Brechin, from the Rotary Club, said: "We sent packs with instructions and foam shapes of the poppies to school for the children to cut out and make.

"Each child can then come here and pick a spot to attach their poppy to. Some of them have been very creative and added sparkles. THis will then be lifted up and hang over the mound to reveal the cascade of poppies."

Mr Plowman said: "Priory Park 100 got off to a very good start with the prelaunch party with Johnny Marrs and the cutting of the first 100th birthday cake.

Hanging over the weekend was the most horrendous weather and storms and I felt sorry as the Velo cycle race was cancelled and the council took the same view and cancelled the craft market in the city centre. THere was no parachute jump and the music of Saturday night was great but the rain lashed at the spectators.

"Sunday morning was even worse but we held our nerve as the Sealed Knot began to turn up and we were rewarded with a great display.

"THe weather now seems set fair so please come along to Prior Park 100, there really is something for everybody."

Jeff felt that dog training methods could be improved and methods changed. THe two of them then opened the training classes at home, one class, one evening a week with six people in.

THe business grew from there with referrals and clients with puppies who had previously used the facilities to train their old dogs.

THe business now has classes running throughout the week covering training, flyball, obedience, agility, one to ones, home visits and scent training and now has 27 staff and a new day care facility.

Dog trainer, Josie Spurling, said: "Everybody's skills and knowledge here have increased. Miranda has worked really close with the Kennel Club to gain her accreditation.

"Our facilities really help us stand out from other training classes. We pride ourselves on having the facilities that are designed for dog training. In the hall we have under floor heating and a seamless, non-slip rubber floor. It is regularly disinfected, designed for dogs to come in and train on.

"THis, as well as just having knowledge on positive, reinforcement training, using your dogs ability to want to learn, and to work with you, to get out the behaviours that will make them a fantastic pet in the future.

Toll of scams is highlighted SCAM victims around the Bognor Regis and Chichester area lose £20,000 on average to fraudsters.

Some six out of ten of those who have been conned out of their savings is more than 75, the area's Citizens Advice help points have revealed.

More than half of those who have approached its three centres live alone.

Citizens Advice was so concerned by the number of people who have been falling victim to the tricks by email and phone it helped to organise its biggest event in the area to raise awareness of the issue.

The 43 delegates from a range of organisations who attended the showcase occasion last Thursday were believed to represent 100,000 people.

The most powerful presentation came from a scam victim, identified only as Sally.

She was tricked out of just over £10,000 by an online 'sweetheart'. The lonely pensioner told those present how the lying romeo spun her a series of lies, deceits and denials to cruelly play on her emotions.

"I feel horrible talking about it now," she said. "Looking back now, I feel embarrassed, humiliated, sad and very, very angry."

Her daughter, Helen, spoke of how she found her mother was looking at remortgaging her home to send even more money to the fake suitor.

Convincing her two sisters their mother needed help led to arguments. "Crimes like this affect whole families," she said.

West Sussex County Council also jointly

organised the event. Its cabinet member for safer, stronger communities, Cllr Debbie Kennard, said: "We know that every day in West Sussex people are falling victim to fraud, whether that's online, unwanted telephone calls or doorstep callers.

"Although anyone can fall victim to a scam, we know that the vulnerable members of our community are often highly targeted for these crimes.

"The impact on the victims is not just financial, it is also distressing and has a long-term emotional affect and mental health impact on people's wellbeing as well."

Katy Bourne, the Sussex police and crime commissioner, said her elders' commission of 65-85-year-olds told her the risk of being conned left elderly people more terrified of picking up their home phone than of antisocial behaviour in the streets.

An average of £20,000 was being taken from each scam victim across Sussex, she said. "These criminals are experts in what they are doing. It's big business to them.

"The more people are taking about it, the more people are educated about it - the better it is."

Sussex Police's Operation Signature anti-fraud work, has dealt with 4,000-plus reports in some three years. Bernadette Lawrie, who plays a leading part in the work, said two-thirds were committed over the phone and some one in six by email.

PPI claims, doorstep callers, computer cons, courier fraud and fake tax officials were the most common methods of fraud.

Wedding belles show off history of church VAL LEWIS returned to Pagham's parish church with her wedding dress more than half a century after she wore it for the first time.

Mrs Lewis was among the brides who took part in St Thomas a'Becket Church's exhibition about weddings.

The event had a special significance for her because it took place on the 56th anniversary of her wedding to Brian.

She said: "This is the first time I have had the dress out for 56 years. I packed it in a pillowcase."

The sight of the satin brocade A-line classic outfit brought back plenty of memories to Mr and Mrs Lewis, of Havelock Road, Bognor Regis, of their big day.

"It was a beautiful sunny day and my father, who was the village policeman in Pagham, walked me down the aisle.

"My mother made my dress, so it was extra special," said Mrs Lewis, 76. "She did all the bridesmaids' outfits and everything like that as well."

Mr Lewis, 78, said: "We think we were the first couple to have our reception at the King's Beach Hotel. Our wedding was at 2pm. We had a roast dinner and the reception ended at 6pm, when we drove off on our honeymoon to Torquay."

Some 30 dresses were on display at the event last Saturday to attract hundreds of visitors keen to gain a unique glimpse into weddings from the past.

The oldest dress on show was worn by Ann Penfold when she married Henry

Toogood on May 24, 1872.

One of the more recent dresses - a shaped dress with an overlay of lace and a tied back - was worn by Dawn SpurwayPearson, 59, when she married Nick Pearson, 63, on December 27, 2014.

The couple, of Gloster Drive, were among those who wore their wedding outfits at the celebration to the delight of people looking around.

Mr Pearson said: "We have both been married before, this was the first time we had been married in church - and it made it really special.

"I was not sure about getting married at that time of year but it was the best Christmas ever."

Mrs Spurway-Pearson said: "It was an amazing day. We had someone playing the violin, I serenaded Nick into the church and my nephew played the Trumpet Voluntary.

"The church was beautiful because it was already full of flowers from Christmas."

Adding to the interest of the day were photocopies of the church's marriage registers going back to the 18th century and the actual registers from the mid-19th century.

David Chitty, 79, of Hook Lane, Pagham, who was married in the church in 1972 found the wedding of his great-greatgrandfather, Charles Chitty, to Harriet Sparkes on April 12, 1831.

He said: "I have seen the details of the wedding because I have been going to the archives in Chichester.

The Rev Mark Eminson, the current vicar, was one of three at the event.

He said: "There has been such a joyful atmosphere.

"It has been a real celebration of weddings and the church which has served the community for hundreds of years and, hopefully, will continue to do that for many years to come."

He conducts about six weddings a year compared to the 20-30 at the church some 40 years ago.

"It is a privilege to be at the crucial crossroads for two lives," he said.

Runners get wet JUNIOR parkrunners in Bognor Regis defied the weather to take part in a special event.

The turnout of 25 was still seen as a success by organisers as heavy rain dampened their hopes of a bumper attendance of four-14-yearolds for their first back to school special.

Among the intrepid young people who went along for the 2km walk or run was a wide range of experience. Five made their parkrun debuts, while Ollie Baynes was on his 68th run.

Isla Gauson had designed a special T-shirt for her 50th event on Sunday but had to cover it up with a coat to protect her from the torrential rain. She will receive a milestone wristband to mark the occasion.

One of the organisers, Daniel Hughes, said: "Not only was it our back to school event, it was also an end of an era as the run director, Karen Vilday, was taking charge for the last

time. Karen was instrumental in setting up the event and planning began in April, 2016."

The first run, at the Arena Sports Centre, took place in January, 2017. The numbers have reached 151 backed by a band of helpers.

Gardeners win award for work VOLUNTARY gardeners have struck gold with their work in a Bognor Regis town centre site.

The efforts of the Bognor Community Gardeners have been recognised with a gold award in this year's RHS south east in bloom awards.

They were also rated outstanding in the RHS's category for community work as well as securing an RHS certificate of distinction. Both the ratings in the latter two categories were the highest possible.

The judges said: "This originally small group is not only thriving but is extending its influence with (Arun District) Council and with the residents of Bognor Regis."

The judges commended the planting of the gardens, between the Hothamton car park and West Street, and the stance the group had taken with littering and dog fouling. The Sunken Gardens are under threat from Arun's linear park regeneration scheme, which will replace them and the car park.

Bognor Community Gardeners' head gardener Kim Davis said: "We are thrilled with the results and the judges' comments.

"We are so proud of how far the Hothamton Sunken Gardens have come in the seven years we've been caring for them."

A bid has been made by a councillor to legally protect the gardens with town green status.

` Cable-laying starts CABLE-LAYING is about to begin to bring high-speed internet connections to public buildings in Chichester and Bognor Regis.

The West Sussex Gigabit project will see the buildings get the fastest and most reliable broadband connectivity.

This will make the public services provided by the council more resilient and less at risk of disruption.

The work has started in some roads and footpaths in Chichester and Crawley this week. Seven other towns and parishes will soon follow. They will include Bognor Regis.

The exact roads are being finalised. A county council spokesman said: "The work will typically involve digging a trench in the road or footpath and installing ducting for the fibre-optic cables."

Most of the work should be carried out from 9am-5pm. Some evening and night-time work will be required in nonresidential areas.

The scheme is supported by funding from the government and the network will be built by CityFibre.

` Fire station open day FIRE crews in Bognor Regis are inviting people to meet them next month.

The town's firefighters will be holding their annual open day on October 6.

The free event from 10am-4pm at the West Meads Drive fire station will give the public the chance of a behind the scenes look at the work of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.

Demonstrations, competitions, fire and road safety advice and displays will be available on the day to provide something of interest for all the family.

FireBreak students in success go on parade f Sandra Louisa, left, and Zoe Pniewski

Zoe cooks up a charity fun day CAKE-BAKING for cancer is the aim of a special event in Bognor Regis this weekend.

Friends Zoe Pniewski and Sandra Louisa have organised a great stand up to cancer bake-off coffee morning for Sunday.

They are holding the fundraiser for Cancer Research UK from 10am to 1pm at Art & Music, 85 Essex Road, Bognor Regis.

Zoe said:" The event is open to all ages to come along and try out the following - best cake competition, so why not bring a cake along?, raffle and guess the weight of the cake."

As well as the cookery events, Sandra will be hosting an art exhibition.

She is a locally-based artist with a

wealth of experience.

She studied art history through the Open University and creative arts at Buckingham New University and offers a variety of classes at her art studio in Essex Road.

Any work which is sold on the day will have 20 per cent of its profits donated to Cancer Research UK thanks to Sandra.

This is the second event that Zoe, of My Special Event, has organised to raise money for the charity and in memory of her late uncle, Michael Ball, who died unexpectedly of pancreatic cancer last Christmas.

Earlier this month, she helped to organise a retro video gaming event and hopes fundraisers will follow.

JUNIOR firefighters have celebrated their success on the latest FireBreak course in Bognor Regis.

They took part in a pass out parade at the town's fire station. Family members, friends and instructors watched them take part.

The pupils of St Anthony's School in Chichester completed a week of training, which included hose running, ladder climbs and wearing breathing apparatus.

They have also learned about fire safety, cardiac pulmonary resuscitation and gained a HeartStart first aid training

qualification.

Chief fire officer Gavin Watts, of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, presented the graduates with their awards.

He said: "These young students have pulled out all the stops this week to complete their training and they should be proud of their achievements.

"It is always good to see our young graduates learn about the challenges firefighters face.

"I hope they go away with some positive memories and valuable skills such as

discipline, teamwork and improving self-confidencee."

Cllr Debbie Kennard, West Sussex County Council's cabinet member for safer, stronger communities, said: "It is lovely to see what a positive impact the FireBreak programme can have on a young person's life and I applaud their fantastic efforts this week."

The students who took part included: Bradley Osbourne, Buster Seabrook, Harry Ewins, Joshua Bolton, Max Sudron, Michael Mills, Tomass Totoris, Dylan Withers and Ryan Ridewood.

THE CHILDREN ACT is that rarest of things: an adult drama, written and filmed with a sensitivity. Starring Emma THompson as Fiona, a judge who has to make a particularly difficult decision regarding the fate of the young Jehovah’s Witness, Adam Henry (Fionn Whitehead), which rests in her hands.

What should take preference: the laws of society or the tenets of a religion? When should a child be granted permission to make adult decisions? Do beliefs trump facts? THen there is the future of Fiona’s marriage, which she has successfully shifted to the back burner for so long, but now hangs in the balance. Stanley Tucci plays Fiona’s husband, who’s running out of patience.

Based on a gothic horror novel of the same name by Sarah Waters, THe Little Stranger is a cold and chilling little gem. Dr Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson) is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall in 1948 where his mother was once a housemaid, Faraday about to discover how his family and that of the generations of the hall’s owners are entwined.

Heart Beats Loud charts the last days of a Brooklyn hipster parent Frank and his daughter, Sam, before she leaves for college. Will their jam sessions continue despite Sam leaving to study medicine in California or has she already grown out of this ritual bonding with her dad?

who knew this character of conflicting passion, ego, talent and obsession.

Wim Wenders’ documentary, Pope Francis: A Man of his Word, beautifully demonstrates the Pope’s ideas and message of reform, deep concern for the poor and wealth inequality, the man’s integrity and warmth of spirit shining through.

David Tennant stars in Bad Samaritan, a thriller with knucklechewing suspense as the guy next door you don’t want to mess with when dealing with a valet whose plans to burgle weather customers’ homes is thwarted.

More thrills are to be found in the Focus on Film course on September 29. Woodfall at 60, homes in on the film studio’s impressive list of iconic films – Tom Jones, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Kes, Look Back in Anger, Charge of the Light Brigade – and many more. Founded by director Tony Richardson, writer John Osborne and producer Harry Salzman.

You will be guided through the making of the films via many clips and anecdotes by Richardson’s son-in-law.

Healthy food earns award Tasty and nutritious servings at Bognor Regis takeaway are recognised with prestigious recognition BUSINESS partners Tori Pallant and Tina Blackhall are celebrating receiving a prestigious healthy food award for their Bognor Regis eatery.

Their recently opened venture, Foodelicious, has lived up to its name by achieving the Eat Out, Eat Well gold standard.

The award recognises the wide array of fresh and healthy ingredients which make up the mouth-watering food options for the delighted customers of Tori and Tina.

Tori said: “It is great to win the award.

We wanted to be different from other food businesses in the town and offer food that is not available from them. There is no-one like us at the moment as far as we know.”

The fare which saw Foodelicious clinch the Eat Out Eat Well recognition includes their Buddha Bowl Bliss – crammed with goodness such as carrots, lentils, pine nuts, as well as berries and salad.

Each component of the child’s menu, even the crisps, has also been chosen for its ability to contribute to a healthy diet.

`One of the popular choices is the Buddha Bowl Range packed with goodness

And customers who walk in to the premises in the Arcade will always be faced with three varieties of fresh fruit. Vegan and vegetarian options abound in contrast to the absence of fried food.

“We wanted to bring something new to Bognor Regis – and we have done that in just eight weeks since we opened.

“The town is up and coming and the Arcade is up and coming. That’s why we decided to open here,” said Tori.

Many nursing and care homes around Bognor Regis have been awarded Eat Out, Eat Well status but Foodelicious is the first -

To celebrate our achievements we are offering our customers

5 HEALTHY DEALS FOR £5 MONDAYS Buddha bowls £5 TUESDAY homemade soup and a sandwich £5 (Excludes crab and salmon) WEDNESDAY oven roasted sweet potato jacket with filling of the day and a bottle of water THURSDAY House salad, piece of fruit and a bottle water (Excludes crab and salmon) FRIDAY Hot drink and a homemade treat

so Tori and Tina believe - which serves walk-in customers.

Eat Out, Eat Well is run in this area by Arun District Council’s environmental health department.

A council spokesman said the scheme was launched in East and West Sussex in early 2014.

“It has been developed to encourage any catering establishment to offer healthier menu options. In addition, they need to adopt healthier cooking practices, such as grilling instead of frying, and use healthier ingredients, substituting high fat products for their lower fat alternatives,” he said.

“To obtain a gold award, key members of staff will be required to undertake some form of accredited/recognised training in nutrition. “This means you will be able to visit the award-winning restaurants, pubs and cafes and find healthier meal options on the menus for you and your family.”

Health & Wellbeing

by Denise Kelly

Preparing for colds and flu this winter LUCKILY for us all here in the UK, the days have still been really warm. In fact, as I am writing this, I am sat in my garden wearing shorts and a t-shirt catching some mid-day rays, which, I must say, is very pleasant for the end of September.

However, the mornings and evenings are a little nippy, and we even contemplated turning the heating on the other night, but I

resisted! I want the feeling of summer to last as long as possible. However, as we approach the change of season you can start hearing the coughing and sniffing of the dreaded ‘change in temperature’ colds.

off (we have been looking at unis for my eldest daughter for next September so I totally sympathise with emotional parents at the moment. Tissues are at the ready) to university or started a new school term it's important to make sure that they are eating enough of the good stuff, because germs will be flying around like wildfire!

The same goes for all of us actually, it's now, at this time of year, that we need to prepare ourselves properly by eating the best foods possible to boost our immune systems in order to stay well throughout the autumn months.

The first thing you can start with is chilli, because it's loaded with power punching beneficial ingredients that offer immunity support. Tomatoes are also high up there due to being high in lycopene, which is an anti oxidant that helps fight disease. Garlic is a must-have when it comes to fighting bacterial, viral and fungal infections, as are onions, turmeric, ginger, coriander, spinach, kale, broccoli and winter squash. Not to mention in season apples, pears and berries such as cranberries.

There is also something very inviting about a hot bowl of soup on a cold autumn evening. The best thing to do is to make your own soups and stews with fresh, in season ingredients. Making your own bone broth is a wonderful way of getting extra B vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium and zinc. If you load your soup with colourful veggies too, such as leafy greens, carrots, sweet potatoes, beetroot, parsnips and winter squash, you will be enhancing your

protection hugely.

Hot soup also help to keep the body hydrated, which helps with delivering electrolyte minerals throughout the body. It also helps keep nasal mucus thin and clear, which protects us from inhaling viruses and bacteria, therefore protecting us from harmful viruses and germs.

Extra herbs can be added for antiinflammatory purposes, as well as anti viral and anti bacteria, such as rosemary, thyme, oregano and cinnamon. The good news is that it is OK to use some dried herbs in your soups and stews with success. The best spices that seem to retain their goodness and anti oxidants during the drying process are cilantro, basil, dill, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, oregano and parsley. So use them liberally.

With so many apples on the trees ready for the picking (if you haven’t done already) use them to your advantage. Apples are high in soluble fibre, which helps reduce inflammation, as well have having healthy benefits for diabetes, gallstones, high cholesterol, IBS, haemorrhoids, liver and weight management and if you add some cinnamon to a baked apple, you could help lower blood sugar levels, reduce heart disease risk, and ease digestive comfort as well a give your immune system a welcome boost this time of year.

The best way to eat and stay healthy is always cooking from scratch, using fresh produce whenever possible, staying away from processed foods. Add a truck-load of healing herbs and spices to everything you eat and voilà… you have a health enhancing dish.

When you look at the food on your plate, ask yourself - what is this going to do for me?

What health benefits will I get from eating these foods, because everyone wants to feel well and energised and this is the best way to achieve that.

Chimes ring out as top wines go down a treat Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys martin.lury@me.com

POMPEY chimes beckoned this weekend as I wended my way to the Portsmouth Guildhall to see Nick Mason of Pink Floyd fame and his Saucerful of Secrets featuring Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp ably assuming the Syd Barrett role .

The previous day I happened to venture into M&S Chichester and noted that, while stocks last, several wines are still on offer with a third off their usual price - an offer too good to resist!

A 2017 Clare Valley Riesling first caught my eye being on offer for a tantalising £8.66 and a grape variety that has been grown for over 150 years in this part of South Australia.

This one is crisp and fruity Australian Riesling with some green apple and lemon flavours, but a preponderance of lime flavours almost all - pervasive, but with slightly tart acidity, nonetheless decidedly refreshing and one well worth trying!

For an outlay of £10, a Cuvée Ressac 2017 Picpoul de Pinet, a great alternative to Sauvignon Blanc from Florensac in the Languedoc where cool sea breezes temper the hot sun of southern France to create a great balance of flavour, turned out to be vibrant and fruity and a good tipple .

Scaling the dizzy heights at £16.66, a 2015 Chablis Premier Cru Vaucoupin from the reputed Famille Brocard did not remotely disappoint with green apple to the fore and well balanced acidity.

Vintage Champagne next in the form of a 2012 Champagne De Saint Gall for a reduced price of circa £23.

Praline, quince and honeydew melon notes accompany bracing acidity and this creamy number has very fine bubbles, delicate yeasty notes on the nose and hints of brioche - altogether rather splendid à ce prix .

Turning my attention to reds, three in particular stood out for varying reasons.

I was initially intrigued by a Zorzal Malbec XV Eggo of Argentinian provenance.

This Uco Valley Malbec is a purer, lighter, fresher style of wine and is called Eggo after the cement egg used for the fermentation and, having seen no oak, exudes red and black fruits with floral notes.

Soft and fruity, full-bodied with a silky palate and nice balance - a wine that justifies its £10.66 price tag!

Secondly, an Albert Bichot 2012 Monthélie seemed a no-brainer, given his reputation, and this lesser known Burgundian number is ready to drink now at a good price of £14.66.

Round, velvety and smooth with dark berries and soft cherry fruit, this good wine has a long, dry finish and merits your consideration!

My final selection was a tad indulgent, but ultimately , as I had expected , most rewarding and was a 2012 Château Franc - Maillet Pomerol made up of 90 per cent Merlot and ten per cent Cabernet Franc and aged for 16 to 18

months in oak.

Deep ruby in colour with thick legs, this gem has soft tannins, well balanced medium - high acidity, plummy dark fruits and cassis flavours with coffee and tobacco undertones. Rich and smooth, this slightly oaky wine with a

retro taste of chocolate has a long finish with a lingering taste, a hint of vanilla and spice and develops quickly in the glass, but needs an hour aeration to open up - on offer at £24.66, this is one to snap up for Christmas - A bientôt, mes amis!

Community News & Views MEMBERS of West Sussex Youth Cabinet, some are pictured below, shared a platform with senior county councillors and MPs to debate lowering the voting age to 16.

A lively discussion ensued in the council chambers of County Hall, Chichester, with passionate and well-informed speeches put forward on both sides.

Votes at 16 is one of two key campaigns for the youth cabinet, which is made up of 11-18 year olds who were elected by their peers to represent all young people in West Sussex. During an hour-long debate, arguments for included the fact that 16-yearolds can vote in Scotland and Wales but not in England and the frustration of being denied a voice in the EU referendum.

Those arguing against questioned if 16-year-olds had enough life experience and said 18 was the correct cut-off point.

A number of senior county councillors said they had been swayed in favour on the strength of the arguments.

Speaking in favour of the motion, Cllr Paul Marshall, cabinet member for children and young people, said: “We should be promoting good governance of our country and we can only do this by encouraging young people to participate in the important issues that shape our services.”

Gillian Keegan, MP for Chichester, and Sir Peter Bottomley, MP for Worthing West, attended and joined in.

A vote was then taken, with a resounding victory in favour of the motion to give 16 and 17-year-olds the vote - 24 for, eight against and three abstentions.

Caroline Nicholls, the High Sherriff for West Sussex, told the young contributors 15,000 people had elected them and their challenge was to ‘go out and make a difference now’.

From here, the youth cabinet will propose a formal motion for their senior counterparts to debate at a full council meeting later this year.

CHICHESTER and Bognor Green Party has taken part in a nationwide call on the government to launch nationwide annual car free days to mark the global event that takes places in other countries every September.

Paris held its third city-wide car free day on September 16, 2018, and Brussels has been holding car free days for years. Both capitals are calling on the rest of Europe to do the same.

The Green Party has also called on the Government to increase spending on walking and cycling to £30 per person per year, from the current spend of £6.50.

The Green Party marked car free day on Saturday with a series of events across the country, including Chichester, where campaigners were out gathering signatures on their petition calling for improved air quality in the city. The Green Party wants to show the benefits of moving towards a transport system that prioritises walking and cycling, reclaiming cities for people and tackling air pollution at the same time.

Green Cllr Sarah Sharp, from Chichester City Council, said: “As part of our campaign calling for better air quality in our city, we have found that many residents are fed up with the pollution around our roads and schools and want the council to introduce more ways to deal with this. We are highlighting the need to reshape our transport system and design cities for people, not just for cars.”

The local petition calls on Chichester District Council to encourage Stagecoach to introduce cleaner buses, calls on big employers in the city to do more to promote bus use and car sharing. It also urges the take up of anti-idling zones which have been seen to work elsewhere in the country.

Cllr Sharp added: “When we spoke to residents on the doorstep, people were very concerned about the speed of tractors travelling through the city and were really pleased to sign our petition."

YOUNG footballers would become better players if coaches spent more time training them to scan the field and less on focusing on the ball.

New research by sports experts at the universities of Chichester, Portsmouth, and Limerick suggests reading the game should be taught to players from a young age, in tandem with ball skills, rather than as an advanced ability.

The study, published in Psychology of Sport and Exercise, found that players who incorporated scanning into their play were likely to improve their awareness, decision-making, and the quality and/or speed of their technical actions.

Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard were highlighted as players who incorporated the technique into their gameplay, but little research has explored how such behaviour is taught.

Lead author Craig Pulling, from the University of Chichester, said: “Coaches

CARDBOARD shelters, pictured above, will be in place around Chichester Cathedral for an annual charity sleepout.

They will be put to use overnight on October 13 in aid of Stonepillow's work with homeless people.

who didn’t subscribe to training players to scan the field and look around them tended to think players needed to focus on technical skills, then learn tactical skills.

“Whereas coaches who knew the benefits of scanning, and believed in the importance of teaching it young, believed the two went hand-in-hand.

“Our findings suggest that inexperienced coaches could benefit from being mentored by more experienced coaches, by being taught the value of scanning, and by being taught ways to integrate it into game play.”

The study examined how scanning was taught, when it was introduced, and how coaches evaluated its success.

The authors have now called on football associations to focus on training and support of its coaches to develop such skills, and to incorporate scanning as an elementary skill, to be taught alongside the technical and tactical skills.

THE RNLI has been confirmed as the official charity of this year's The Running Festival at Goodwood. The event will take place on October 14.

The RNLI is the largest charity that saves lives at sea, with its main aim to educate, influence, supervise and rescue those at risk from drowning.

It provides a valuable service to the many busy stations along the south coast. The charity, pictured below by Nathan Williams, will be using their time at The Running Festival at Goodwood to launch their annual Reindeer Runs - festive family runs that take place each winter.

The Running Festival at Goodwood provides sporting fun for runners of all ages and abilities, with the family mile kicking things off at 9am, the 10K race following at 10am and the half marathon at midday.

Race director Joe Williams said: "We are thrilled to announce the RNLI as one of our official charities for The Running Festival at Goodwood this October.

"The charity is dedicated to saving lives at sea at busy stations along the south coast, relying on volunteers and supporters who work tirelessly to keep us safe.

"They are essentially ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and we hope to raise as much as possible to support their heroic work.

"We are looking forward to welcoming runners of all abilities to The Running Festival at Goodwood this autumn, it is set to be a fantastic day of running and family fun.”

Roseanne Blaze, the community fundraising manager at the RNLI, added: “We are honoured to be the official charity for The Running Festival at Goodwood which is an exciting new event on Britain’s south coast."

Anyone wishing to run for the RNLI at The Running Festival at Goodwood should buy their race place via the event website and set up an RNLI fundraising page. Visit: ukrunevents.co.uk

ALL TRAILERS will be banned from next week at the Bognor Regis household waste recycling site.

The bar on them will take effect on Monday to improve safety at the site off Shripney Road and to reduce congestion.

West Sussex County Council is bringing in the ban and will also require householders in the county who drive commercialtype vehicles to obtain a free permit from the same day.

The permit will apply to anyone who uses a van, pick-up or single axle trailer at any of the sites around West Sussex.

The system is designed to cut congestion, eliminate illegal disposal of commercial waste and discourage people from outside of the county bringing in large loads of material.

Cllr Deborah Urquhart, county council cabinet member for environment, said: "We've had a good response to the scheme with over 8,000 permits issued so far. But we want to make sure as many people as possible are aware of the scheme before it is fully implemented on October 1.

"The process is simple and only takes a few minutes. Once you have the permit, you are free to visit the sites as before.

"If you have family or friends with a commercial type vehicle or trailer, I woud urge you to mention the scheme to them."

Some vehicles will be banned as well from all the sites from Monday. These include multi-axle trailers, horse boxes, tipper trucks and flatbed or dropside trucks.

West Sussex residents can apply for a permit at: westsussex. gov.uk/permitscheme The scheme does not cover waste generated by a business or household waste that has been collected by a trader for a charge.

Through the ages at historic Petworth House

By Amy Roberts, collections officer at the Novium Museum DOCUMENTARY evidence suggests there has been a house on the Petworth estate since at least 1309. It was at this time that Henry Lord Percy obtained a licence to fortify an existing manor house. Of this original building, only the main structure of the chapel, located at the north end of the present house, survives.

It is likely that the wine cellar beneath what was once the great hall also dates to the 14th century.

THe Manor of Petworth had been bequeathed to Henry I’s second wife Queen Adeliza, who in turn gifted it to her brother, Joscelyn, who shortly after married Lady Agnes de Percy and took on the Percy name.

At this time, Petworth was only in occasional use, the predominant family home being located in the north of the country.

In the late 1500s, Petworth became the permanent home for the Percy family. THe then owner, Henry Percy, the 8th Earl of Northumberland, was exiled to his Sussex estates by Elizabeth I who had become suspicious of the family’s associations with Mary Queen of Scots. At this time a new water supply for both the house and town was installed. He, and later his son, the 9th Earl, took to remodelling and enlarging the house.

In 1670, the estate passed to the only surviving heir, Elizabeth Percy. In 1682, at the age of 16, the already twice widowed Elizabeth married Charles Seymour, the 6th Duke of Somerset.

In 1688, Charles, also known as ‘THe Proud Duke’, set about remodelling the house into a home ‘fit for him and his wife’. He had the magnificent and over 300ft western façade and entrance front overlooking the park constructed, as well as the state apartments and fine Marble Hall. THe house was styled in the French baroque style and, although the architect remains unknown, it has been suggested Seymour used William III’s architect Daniel Marot. Seymour also employed George London to create formal gardens to the north of the house.

Some of the most renowned craftsmen of the day worked on the renovations, including the plasterer Edward Goudge who was chief plasterer to Christopher Wren, and wood carver Grinling Gibbons, who also worked on Windsor Castle, Hampton Court Palace

and St Paul's Cathedral. A local carver, John Selden, worked on much of the internal and external stonework, including the Duke’s crest of keystones with carved wings, which are located above each window.

In 1714, the house suffered a devastating fire which destroyed much of the centre of the house, but the Marble Hall was spared.

In 1748, Petworth House passed to Algernon Seymour, the 7th Duke of Somerset. Upon his death, in 1750, having no heirs to inherit the estate, his titles and estates were duly divided, Petworth estate and the earldom of Egremont passing to his nephew, Charles Wyndham, while his son-in-law took the title of the Duke of Northumberland.

Shortly after taking ownership of the

In 1714 the house suffered a devastating fire which destroyed much of the centre of the house, but the Marble Hall was spared.

house, the 2nd Earl Charles Wyndham commissioned Capability Brown to design and landscape the deer park. THe park was one of Brown’s first commissions as an independent designer. Brown removed the formal garden and fishponds which had been put in in the 1690s and relocated 64,000 tons of soil to create a winding lake.

THe 2nd Earl collected paintings and antique statuary, which he collected while on the Grand Tour, a tour of Europe often undertaken by many young English elites during the 17th and 18th centuries in an effort to broaden their horizons and educate them on such things as language, architecture geography and culture. THe 2nd Earl commissioned Matthew Brettingham the elder to design a gallery to showcase his collection, along with a new stable block and three pairs of lodges.

THese items form the foundation for the Petworth Collection we know today. Charles Wyndham’s son, George, the 3rd Earl continued this legacy of collecting and was a patron to the arts. J. M. Turner was a close friend of George’s and was a frequent visitor to Petworth, which is still home to 20 of his paintings. George had the sculpture gallery extended, to become the North Gallery in order to house his growing collection of art.

In 1837, the third Earl’s illegitimate son,

George, inherited all but the title. However, 22 years later, he received the title of 1st Lord Leconfield. His son, also George, undertook the last major remodelling of Petworth House between 1869-72. Anthony Salvin was hired to add a porte-cochere, build a new entrance hall, as well as redevelop part of the south east wing. At the north end of the courtyard, a conservatory, a tennis court and a passage that connected the North Gallery to the servants' block were all removed at this time.

In 1947, Petworth House was gifted to the National Trust by the 3rd Lord Leconfield.

Later, his nephew, John Wyndham, arranged for the gift of part of Petworth's art collection to the National Trust.

In November, Petworth House will mark the 250th anniversary of the Royal Academy with its exhibition ‘Petworth’s Royal Academicians’, and throughout December, they invite you to celebrate A Georgian Christmas and discover Christmas traditions old and familiar in selected rooms of the house and servants’ quarters.

Petworth House and Park is open daily (excluding December 24 and 25). For more information on opening times, exhibitions and prices visit: nationaltrust.org.uk/petworthhouse-and-park

Event Marshal – Children on the Edge Children on the Edge exists to help marginalised and forgotten children, who are living on the edge of their societies. These are children without parental care, neglected or persecuted by their governments, ignored by international media and missed by large overseas agencies. The Children on the Edge Chichester Half Marathon is an annual event run by a local charity for local people. They are looking for game makers to help marshal the event on Sunday 7th October. They need people who are willing to come out on a Sunday morning and help ensure a safe and enjoyable event for up to 1000 runners. No experience is required - just a willingness to help make a difference. Full instructions will be given before the event. The event will go ahead in almost any weather! And there is a lot of standing around. Hot tea and coffee will be available at the end of every shift in the Race Village.

Referral Order Panel Member – West Sussex Youth Offending Service West Sussex Youth Offending Service (YOS) works with children, young people, families, victims, communities and partner agencies to reduce and prevent youth crime. The main role purpose is to facilitate a restorative meeting with the young person post-sentencing, accompanied by their parents/ carers, to talk about what happened and the impact of their actions on the victim/s or community. Tasks include: familiarising with case background pre-panel; engaging and facilitating a conversation with the young person, parent/carers and victim (if present) in order to create a tailor-made and individual contract aimed at repairing some of the harm caused; discussing and recommending programmes which can help reduce

the likelihood of re-offending; reviewing the young person’s progress; and evaluating and considering cases of non-compliance.

Theatre Charity Shop Volunteer – The Regis Centre The Regis Centre provides professional and commercial entertainment in the theatre to the people of Bognor Regis, as well as facilities for local people to engage in the performing arts. Volunteers are required to carry out various tasks within the Centre. They are looking for volunteers to help in their new charity shop.

The shop is open 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday; morning or afternoon shifts are available, but they are also happy to hear from people that can only offer 2 hours on any one day.

Honorary Treasurer – Tandem Tandem is a Midhurst-based charity that provides transport to medical appointments and social outings and activities for the elderly and disabled in the area. Virtually all Tandem activities are provided by volunteers. The Honorary Treasurer manages expenditure/receipts and reserve funds. Operational costs include the running of three vehicles and three part-time staff. Income is derived from donations, membership fees and fares charged for Tandem activities. The Honorary Treasurer will attend regular committee meetings held every two months to present regular financial updates and will present an annual financial report to the Annual General Meeting (AGM). They are looking for a financially competent individual with accounting experience and an interest in charitable organisations. Experience in assisting with management issues and strategic planning would be an advantage

Derby day at Chi given additional PostSport spice by table trouble for rivals CHICHESTER’S derby battle with Hampshire rivals Havant this weekend takes on added significance as both sides still search for their first win of the season.

Oaklands Park is certain to be jumping as the third-from-bottom hosts look to kickstart their season and put some distance from their second-from-bottom visitors.

The game was originally scheduled to be played at Havant, but, with the Hampshire club’s new pitch still being laid, home advantage is handed to Chichester.

They will be seeking to rediscover the form that saw them claim 16 wins last time out, including ten of 13 at home.

The pair run the risk of being cut adrift of the bottom with fellow winless wonders Hove unless they can get back to winning ways soon.

A patched-up Chichester, forced into ten changes from the week before and blooding several colt youngsters in the face of an injury crisis, started well against Camberley last Saturday and had an eight-point cushion mid-way through the first half.

But, Camberley’s bruising pack were better placed to take advantage of the monsoon

weather, heading into half-time on the back of 14 unanswered points.

Chichester chipped away at their visitors' lead and were within a penalty of parity before late scores saw Camberley stroll away to an 18–33 win after Chi were reduced to 14 men after a infringement at the underpressure scrum.

Havant were similarly left to rue what might have been having also drawn close to their opponents Dartfordians before succumbing to a 30-21 defeat.

Bognor also face Hampshire opposition at home on Saturday as they look to build on a gutsy display which saw them battle out a low-scoring affair in the rain at home to Alresford at the weekend.

Youngster Sean Power, on his last appearance for the club before moving to Loughborough University, kicked over two penalties to add to a try by inside centre David Sweeney after he burst through the midfield.

The last of Power's penalties made the score 11-5 to Bognor and the home side held on in the face of unrelenting pressure from the visitors for a hard-earned win.

DARTS: September sees the end of summer and the end of summer darts in the Bognor Summer Darts League.

But not before a little fun with the traditional Blind Trebles knockout ahead of the annual trophy presentation at the Newtown Social Club in Greencourt Drive, Bognor Regis.

Sixty-six players took to the oche in the knockout tournament before being whittled down until a first semi-final which saw Emma Bist and Rachel Hall of Aldingbourne Mavericks team up with Chi Snooker Club’s Daniel Robinson to take on Buster Barton of Claremont, Tony Phillips of Hunston Hares and Mark H Todd of BRSA Ravens.

The latter team took the victory and strode into the final where they would meet Andy Cooper of Claremont, Adam Hall of Aldingbourne Mavericks and Legends’ Gary Blackwood who overcame the heavy scoring of Rob Collins of Friary 'Z' and his partners Lee Hellyer, of Newtown Amity, and Aldwick Legion’s Larry Chant.

f The Blues try to find a way through

Lost Boys live up to name but still win

f Tone Zone Runners at Arundel

THE LOST BOYS overcame their geographical flaws to take the glory in the Rewell Wood Running Festival on Saturday.

Held over a 6.5 mile course at the Arundel Cricket Club, Duncan Stephenson-Gill, Trev Strowger, Byron Kearns and Jack Penfold were first home despite Kearns following a misleading sign to run an extra 1.2 miles and Stephenson-Gill losing his way on his leg.

Team-mate Strowger recovered from a fall to help his team to victory, having trailed by as much as five minutes at one point and 40 seconds at the start of the final lap.

Even another wrong turn by Penfold on the home leg, leading him up the garden path of a neighbouring home, failed to stop the team romping home clear of any competition in three hours 34 minutes.

Doing it for the Girls pushed them hard but even opening leg runner Juliet Stallard was led astray from the course in pursuit of Byron

and also ran an extra mile.

Anna Kari-Enes took the baton on for the second leg and pulled back some time before handing over to Jess Thomson. Thomson closed the gap to first place even further to just a couple of minutes and Kari Mack stormed the final leg to claw back and overtake the runner in second place in a time of 3:37 Too Old, Too Young - featuring Grahame Hurren, Daryl Fairbrother, Mike Manwill and Stan Mack - crossed the line in a time of 3:45, well ahead of The Muppets of Gary Pidgeon - Karen Vilday, Donna Strowger and Sarah Santer, who finished in 4:21 and Helena Wilmers, Vicky Cooper, Deb Jane and Nicola Kettley, of Deb’s Dashers, in 4:53.

Hats off also to Paul Coe who ran the Chiltern Wonderland 50 across countryside with a 5,600ft elevation to complete his 96th marathon in a personal best for the extended discipline of 10 hours 30 minutes.

The final’s first leg descended into a double shootout with first Blackwood missing a ton plus out-shot before Cooper missed his double.

But Barton couldn’t close on a double double, missing tens and fives after hitting double top with the first dart.

The pressure mounted as Hall and Todd missed their chances before Blackwood stooped to conquer.

Strong scoring to open the second leg soon had the two trios back among the doubles with Barton of the Claremont/ Hunston Hares/BRSA Ravens trio the first to miss his chance of glory before Cooper erred in the double bed too, leaving Todd to swoop in with double 13 on his first dart to take the game to a decider.

Adam Hall had the chance to seal with just 52 on the board but treble 20 with his first dart handed the advantage to Todd but he, too, stumbled with only 60 to get leaving Blackwood to show them all how it’s done to claim the Blind Trebles title and the £180 prize for himself, Cooper and Hall.

To cap the end of the season, Friary Z collected their clean sweep of victories in Division One, taking home the overall, singles, pairs and trebles trophies supplied by Aford Awards.

It was a case of similar dominance in Division Three where QE2 Devils took home the quadruple, while the honours were more even in Division Two, with Aldwick Legion taking home the overall and singles silverware. Aldingbourne Mavericks celebrated becoming trebles champions while Royal Oak and the Lambs shared the honours in the pairs.

CRICKET: History returns to Priory Park this weekend when Sussex play the Duke of Richmond’s XI in a T20 challenge.

The Duke’s team will be captained by his eldest son, Charlie March, and includes representation from nearly all forms of adult cricket.

The match on Saturday at 1.30pm – to be played in whites and with a red ball - is part of celebrations to mark the centenary of the 7th Duke of Richmond’s gift of Priory Park to the people of Chichester.

The Duke of Richmond said: "I am sure that this will be a wonderful and competitive game, to be enjoyed by all.”

Pagham's pride preserves pristine start to new season

f Action from Chi City Ladies' last game

PAGHAM’S battling qualities were on show as they twice battled back on Tuesday night to preserve their unbeaten start.

Newhaven drew first blood in both halves at The Trafalgar Ground.

But goals on the stroke of half-time by Callum Overton and Johan Van Driel with eight minutes to go ensured The Lions extended their unbeaten start to the league season to eight games.

The result saw The Lions stay in the slipstream of the promotion places in fifth place and within five points of early pacesetters Horsham YMCA who lost a fivegoal midweek thriller to Saltdean United.

On Saturday, it was more a case of Pagham getting their work done early as goals by Overton and George Gaskin within 11 minutes put them in charge at home to Shoreham.

The visitors pulled one back but Pagham were able to hold on.

They will be confident of extending their unbeaten run into October when they travel on Saturday to mid-table Uckfield Town, who were also in action in midweek, losing to three goals in eight first-half minutes from Crawley Down.

Chi looking to oufox hosts' leaky defence Sids glad to see back of week CHICHESTER City Ladies will be confident about building on their fine start to the new season as they travel to Loughborough Foxes on Saturday.

The East Midlanders have not won in three and have conceded eight goals in the process which should be music to the ears of Chi’s frontline.

The Green Army should be ready and raring to go as their potentially tricky encounter with fourth-placed Cardiff Ladies, with three wins in four games so far, was called off at the weekend because of the heavy rain.

It will now be played next month instead.

Chichester’s perfect start to the season ended on match

day five against a physical Coventry United Ladies side who maintained their unbeaten record in bursting the Green Army’s 100 per cent record thanks to two goals by Jade Brook.

Chi had shown good resilience to respond almost immediately to Brook’s first goal through Cherelle Khassal but her second in the 68th minute went unanswered and left the Sky Blues victorious in the top spot.

While Loughborough have been vulnerable on the road this season, they will prove a tough challenge as hosts to Chichester having drawn one and won one, a 7-0 thumping of rock bottom Queens Park Rangers Ladies, so far this season.

THE TOUGHEST of weeks for Sidlesham FC will end on Saturday when they host undefeated Hailsham Town at the Rec Ground.

The Sids will be glad to see the back of September, having endured two daunting away trips within three days against the league’s in-form teams, AFC Varndeanians and Steyning.

Last Saturday, they showed plenty of courage and determination to stay with table-topping AFC Varndeanians for the

first 45 minutes but a goal within ten minutes of the restart broke the Sids’ resistance.

From there on out, it was damage limitation as the score was kept to 3-0.

Steyning provided an equally stern test on Tuesday night at The Shooting Field and just the solitary goal midway through the first half was sufficient to allow the hosts to claim all three points.

The Sids are still in search of a point and a league goal in SCFL Division One in

September, having enjoyed a much more productive August.

Selsey are also in need of a boost having also failed to net in the past three league games and seen their unbeaten start to the season unfold in September.

Saturday saw them throw away a twogoal cushion with less than 30 minutes remaining against Hailsham Town.

Dan Bassil and Callum Dowdell had given the home side the lead inside 30 minutes but a last-minute equaliser from their East Sussex visitors sent Seals’ fans home from the High Street Ground as miserable as the afternoon weather.

Despite the draw, Selsey boss Daren Pearce, is satisfied with his young side’s start to the season.

He said: “Hopefully, we will keep on improving and learning, that's the idea of bringing the younger generation through.

“It will take a little time, for some of them it's their first season in senior football.

"It's a big step but some of the lads have taken to it very well.

“The lads have done well, we will push on and try and keep going. It's a steep learning curve for some of them.”

In SCFL Division Two, Bosham suffered a 2-0 defeat at Westfield to make for a long journey home on the 150-mile round trip to the other side of Hastings to worsen their poor start to the season.

Lilywhites get first setback of season

f Coventry Utd press for a goal

Email: sport@sussexpost.co.uk

FREE-SCORING Chichester City suffered their first league defeat of the season at promotion rivals Saltdean, which saw them also lose pole position.

Having won six of their first seven games at a rate of more than three goals a game, the Lilywhites’ fans had their first taste of reality on Saturday and the first indication Chichester won’t have it all their own way in the Premier Division this season.

Saltdean got off to a dream start. Jamie Brotherton capitalised on sloppy defensive play in the Chichester defence when an under-hit backpass was seized upon by Saltdean’s front two, giving the Tigers the lead against the side with the best defensive record in the league with barely two minutes on the

clock.

Both sides, befitting their status as the league’s hotshots, created numerous chances and sub Curt Gayler clinched the win on 67 minutes with a smart finish when clean through following more dithering possession at the back from the visitors.

The Lilywhites, managed by Miles Rutherford, will look to bounce back on Saturday when they host mid-table birthday boys Lingfield, celebrating their 125th year in 2018, at Oaklands Park.

Their visitors, however, will not be short of confidence having produced their performance of the season last Saturday to batter East Preston 5-0 with all the goals coming in a stunning second-half.

Horrible history repeats itself for Rocks in replay heartbreak Next Game

POTTERS BAR T (A) Tomorrow, 3pm

ROCKS’ staff could not hide their 'bitter disappointment' after throwing away two chances to progress in the FA Cup against lower league opponents.

After dominating both matches, the Rocks eventually succumbed to an extra-time second round qualifier replay defeat on Tuesday night against Bostik North AFC Sudbury.

The club missed the chance to add to their proud FA Cup record, having reached the second round on four occasions, and a potentially lucrative first round tie which could have been secured with two more qualifying wins.

It was all a horrible case of déjà vu for Bognor, who were dumped out of the FA Trophy in 2014/15 at Sudbury after a replay.

It had started so well for the Rocks in the first game last Saturday at Nyewood Lane when Harvey Whyte calmly slotted his team in front after three minutes.

But the Rocks could not hold onto the lead and eight minutes later the tie was level after keeper Dan Lincoln struggled with a high cross.

For all Bognor’s dominance of the ball after that, they could not find a winner, with captain Whyte speaking after the game of how he and his team-mates failed to produce enough quality with the final ball.

Having dominated the first game,

confidence was high that the Rocks could rectify the situation in the replay.

But that was without reckoning on Bognor’s worst 45 minutes of the season which saw them trailing at the break.

A rejuvenated Rocks took back control with goals early in the second-half from Jimmy Muitt and Whyte putting them on the cusp of the next round.

A third goal their second half dominance deserved never materialised and the slender one-goal lead could not survive a precise 88th minute free-kick from Sudbury’s Joe Whight.

The hosts sensed their moment and the winner came five minutes into extra-time to dash the cup dreams of Rocks' players for another season and leaving them facing a miserable ride back to Sussex.

Coach Robbie Blake told the club’s YouTube channel he was bitterly disappointed that the Rocks had failed to capitalise on such a great opportunity.

He said: “We were so poor in the first half.

They wanted it more.

“We gave them a bit of a rocket at half-time to say the least and we’ve done everything to get it back to 2-1, and it could have been six or seven.

"Then they’ve been in our half once or twice, they get a free kick on the edge of the box and deliver a sucker blow.”

Rocks told to stick to their guns THE ROCKS need to stick to their footballing principles - that is the message coming out from Bognor’s coaches in the wake of the club’s first big setback of the season.

Tuesday night’s initial defeat has taken some of the gloss off the club’s strong return to the Bostik Premier. They will have a chance to get AFC Sudbury out of their system and maintain their unbeaten start to the league campaign at Potters Bar Town tomorrow.

Their hosts are also in need of a pick-me-up having not won in five games after an opening two wins while the Rocks will be looking for their first three points on the road having drawn all four on their travels so far.

Speaking after Tuesday night’s game, coach Robbie Blake said: “When we get a little bit uncomfortable, I’ve been saying to the lads, this is when we need to still keep playing our football and stick to the principles of how me and Jack want to play with composure on the ball.”

Speaking to the Post ahead of Tuesday’s defeat, manager Jack Pearce said: “We’ve got to be happy with start to the season but football has a nasty habit of coming and biting you in the backside. We have to keep going and ensure that the players are on top of it."

f Rocks on the attack at Nyewood Lane

PLAYING twice in the FA Cup in a week has been great though, of course, we are all bitterly disappointed we didn’t get the result we wanted on Tuesday night.

It is by far the most special tournament you can be involved in as a non-league football player because there is always a chance if you do well you could play against a top team. I remember when Havant played Liverpool at Anfield which shows it can happen for clubs at our level and, of course, there is the added bonus of the financial benefit for the club.

I would be lying if I said it didn’t bring added pressure, not just in the FA Cup but any cup tournament. In the league you can play badly one game but then pick up five wins after - but if you lose in the cup you are out.

The FA Cup is the biggest cup you can play in but even then it shouldn’t affect your performance as a player too much. In the first tie on Saturday we did all right.

We started off well but then gave away a sloppy goal but, apart from them hitting the bar, we dominated the entire game and got in really good areas but the ball in was not the best quality, myself included.

It was difficult when we got to the byline and they had eight or nine men in the box but that’s when you need that extra quality.

I don’t think they set out to be defensive, they came with an open attitude but after 20 minutes we literally took over the whole game.

No disrespect to them but we had more quality passing and movement and I think once they realised that we were controlling the game, they stopped pressing and dropped back and defended well and they earned their reply.

For us it was frustration, especially when you’re in nonleague because it meant we had to go to Sudbury on Tuesday night, got home about 2am and

then I have to get up for work at six.

So going to Sudbury for the reply was the last thing we wanted and losing just meant it was a wasted journey.

I don’t think having cup games at this stage of the season affects the momentum. We had it with the FA Trophy where if you are doing really well and winning cup games, it all adds to the winning mentality.

As long as you have the right mindset playing Saturday, Tuesday should be fine. It’s only when it becomes Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday that it might become a problem.

We have been tough to beat away from home in the league but it’s not because we have gone out to be cautious. We tend to play every game to win it but if we are up against it then the bare minimum is not to get beat. We do realise we are going to lose games at some point, and if and when we lose, it’s about how we react.

On Saturday we’ve got Potters Bar Town, a team I’ve never played against. I spoke to [exRocks striker] Ollie Pearce and he said the pitch is not the best but we will treat it like any other game. If we can’t get a victory, then the bare minimum is a draw although we do need to start turning draws into victories.

By Thursday, ahead of the weekend match, we will get a bit of info about the pitch and the ground, like whether the pitch is good or whether there’s a slope, whether there’s any particular players we need to know about or whether they play in a certain way.

Then, on Saturday, once you get the team sheet, you can get a bit more specific about players, whether they have a tendency to do a certain thing, whether they play right foot or left foot, and a team’s strengths and weaknesses.

It’s good to be prepared but it shouldn’t really matter. On our day, we should beat anyone in this league.
