Back-up plan in place for A27

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk PLANS have been put into place by councillors regarding the future of the A27.

Chichester District Council has alternative proposals in case Highways England does not put forward the A27 in Chichester for funding.

In June, councillors agreed to note the fallback position if Highways England decides not to select a scheme for inclusion in RIS2 (Road Investment Strategy).

A district council spokesperson said: “We held a members’ briefing on the draft transport study that will form part of the evidence base for the local plan review.

"As there is currently no funding in

place for a major scheme on the A27 Chichester bypass, the transport study has looked at the need for mitigation of the impact of development in the absence of government funding through the Road Investment Strategy process.

"We are progressing a local plan review which we intend to be adopted following consultation and examination.

"We are waiting to hear from

Highways England whether the two concepts presented to them this year are acceptable for consideration in the Government’s RIS2 scheme.

"The Government will make announcements on RIS2 schemes next year.

"If the A27 Chichester is included in RIS2, then this will replace any local scheme."

Roman week is up for a special award

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CHICHESTER has had a weekly celebration short-listed for a prestigious award.

The Beautiful South Tourism Awards for Excellence 2018 has short-listed Chichester Roman Week 2018 as a finalist in the prestigious in the category ‘Tourism Event of the Year’.

This news means that the annual weeklong event, run by The Novium Museum, will receive either a gold, silver or bronze award at the tourism awards ceremony in December.

Chichester Roman Week takes place during May half term each year and brings Roman history to life with a variety of events in and around the Chichester District. Grant funding from the Roman Research Trust and the Roman Society funded the headline event during the week this year - a Roman Re-Enactment in Priory Park, which attracted more than 2000 visitors throughout the day.

Councillor Eileen Lintill, cabinet member for community services at Chichester District Council said: "It is a fantastic achievement for Chichester Roman Week to have been recognised in these prestigious awards. Chichester Roman Week includes a programme of exciting and educational events which encourage visitors of all ages into Chichester City Centre each May half term. Reaching the short-list of such a prestigious award is a real testament to the hard work of the museum team."

Chichester Roman Week 2018 also received backing from a number of local

organisations, including the Chichester BID and the Chichester Farmer’s Market, who worked in partnership with The Novium Museum to organise a one-off Roman themed market in Chichester City Centre, the site where the Roman Forum would have been.

A number of local business and attractions run their own Roman Week events, allowing the celebration of our Roman heritage to reach the wider Chichester District.

Nigel Smith, CEO of Tourism South East, said: "The Beautiful South Awards are a reminder of the amazing wealth of fantastic tourism businesses and experiences that the South East of England has to offer. The standard just gets better and better which is a reflection of the investment taking place in the industry and the professionalism of the people who work in this important sector. Some very fine businesses narrowly missed the cut so the finalists truly are the best of the best."

The Beautiful South Awards for Excellence celebrate the best of the South East region’s tourism industry. The awards are organised by Tourism South East and judging takes into account the entry form, along with a combination of web searches, emails, telephone calls, visits and value for money.

This year saw 121 entries from across the South East, and Chichester Roman Week has been short-listed alongside Airbourne – VisitEastbourne, Festival of Flowers – Leeds Castle and Royal Tunbridge Wells Together.

Awards will be announced at a ceremony taking place at The Grand Hotel in Brighton on December 5, 2018.

Georgia inspires other ladies to get into golf at Goodwood REIGNING Women’s British Open champion Georgia Hall visited Golf At Goodwood last month and said she hoped to use her success to inspire greater female participation.

Asked about how the sport has changed in recent years, she said: “I think the last five years have improved a lot for female golf, but I think it’s really important for players like me to encourage women and young girls to play. The situation is improving, but it would be great to get more TV coverage of the women’s game.”

Taking part in an annual partners golf day on the Downs course, Georgia wowed players during a ‘flop shot challenge,’ as well as giving advice and

showing her skills around the course.

Nearly two months on from victory at Royal Lytham and St Annes, players at the event gave Hall a rapturous round of applause when she was introduced at the start of the day by general manager Stuart Gillett.

Describing the facilities at Golf At Goodwood, she said: “It’s really great having two golf courses as I get to play two different types of golf. There’s a great driving range with Trackman and a SAM Putt Lab, but it’s really nice just coming down for a cup of tea!

Sometimes I don’t even play, I just use the gym.”

Show-stopping event for Snowdrop charity

News 3

f Traffic on the A27

A27 funding may still be miles away From page one

f Visitors enjoyed a great show outdoors to raise vital funds for charity

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk SUSSEX Snowdrop Trust had their first outside cinema screening event last month, which acted as a joint fundraiser, with St Leonard’s Church at South Stoke Farm.

Cinema-goers experienced a drive through the stunning South Downs to this remote village, near Arundel, for the event.

The 11th century church, St Leonard’s, which is mentioned in the Domesday book, nestles in this small village, together

with a working farm and chapel barn and this was the scenery backdrop for the film.

The barn was transformed by Colour Pop Occasions with multi-coloured lanterns, ribbons and fairy lights. The appearance of the Arabesque School of Performing Arts had the crowd ready for viewing of this year’s film blockbuster, The Greatest Showman.

Di Levantine, chairman of The Sussex Snowdrop Trust, said it was a very special evening. She said: “This event has been possible through working with the South Stoke Farm and our generous supporters, Thesis Asset Management and Hall & Woodhouse.

"It was great to have local businesses in Arundel who supported with food and raffle prizes. I am delighted that Tommy Boyd, our patron, was able to join us, too.

"It is vital that we continue to raise the profile of the trust and ensure that the work of our nurses and counsellor continue to make a difference to the lives of local children with a life-threatening or terminal illness by providing nursing support at home.

"Everyone enjoyed the film choice and we were very lucky with the weather.

It was wonderful see all generations of families sharing this night, in this unique location in the South Downs.”

ROMAN ARMY WEEK Mon 22nd -

Fri 26th Oct 10am - 4pm

Come along and join the Fishbourne army. Sign up as a soldier, carry out your duties and earn a day’s pay!

In June, 2013, the Government made a commitment in the spending review announcement to improve the A27 Chichester bypass. In July, 2016, Highways England published five options for improving the A27 at Chichester for public consultation.

However, none of options secured support from a majority of the consultation respondents and the Secretary of State wrote to Highways England cancelling the scheme.

In response to the Secretary of State’s announcement, the county council convened a community meeting to try to build consensus and develop a way forward through the ‘Build A Better A27’ initiative.

The BABA27 community group established themes and key requirements and transport and engineering consultants, Systra, were appointed to provide independent technical advice and support to the community group to promote a scheme for inclusion in the Government’s second Roads Investment Strategy (RIS2 - 2020-25).

The long list was sifted down to

a short-list where there are two ‘desirable’ conceptual options that meet, or meet most of, the success criteria identified by the group; a ‘mitigated northern route’ and a ‘full southern route’.

Highways England has agreed to carry out an assessment of both engineering feasibility and likely cost for both concepts, which will be shared with the councils in the late autumn.

If Chichester is successful in securing a place in Road Investment Strategy 2, then Highways England’s next step would be to undertake detailed design work. It would then come back with a route or routes for a full public consultation, as in 2016.

The Government would make the final decision on whether to include the A27 Chichester scheme only after considering it against other competing priorities nationally.

If an A27 Chichester scheme is chosen to be included a public consultation would then take place, possibly in summer 2020. A preferred route would be announced, with construction work potentially starting in 2023 – 2024.

Selsey thief pleads guilty

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A BOOKKEEPER who stole nearly £78,000 from a Selsey care provider has been sentenced.

Kirsty Whitfield, 49, appeared at Portsmouth Crown Court on Friday, September 21, after pleading guilty to two counts of fraud by abuse of position and one count of theft by an employee.

Whitfield, of Spiney Close, Selsey, had worked for Platinum Home Care in Selsey from 2005 to 2016.

During her employment, Whitfield lied by telling the manager she was unable to pay employees’ wages from the company bank account all on the same day, due to a banking limit, and suggested using her own personal bank account.

Whitfield was then able to steal money from the business bank account into her personal accounts.

In June, 2016, the company was visited

by HMRC, claiming they were owed £76,000 in tax and national insurance and concerns were then raised around Whitfield’s position in the company.

The company began an internal investigation and Whitfield handed in her resignation after coming back from an eight-week holiday to the USA. The care provider reported its concerns to Sussex Police and Whitfield was subsequently arrested on December 21,

2016, and released on bail.

Following months of detailed investigation by detectives, it was revealed the total amount stolen from the company was £77,944.61.

Officers also discovered Whitfield had submitted fraudulent NHS invoices, amounting to £31,603.18 and £10,432.47 in duplicate payments.

Whitfield later admitted at Portsmouth Crown Court fraud by abuse of position and theft and was given a six-month sentence suspended for two years for each count of fraud by abuse of position and 20 months' prison sentence suspended for two years for theft by an employee, all to run concurrently.

She was also given 75 hours of unpaid work and a rehabilitation order.

Detective Constable Paul Gilmour said: “Kirsty Whitfield was trusted by her employer to manage the monthly payroll and process company invoices, but she abused that position for her own gain.

“Her offending risked the loss of employment for more than 50 care workers and the subsequent care of many vulnerable adults in the local community.”

David Whitfield, 53, from Selsey, was charged with two counts of concealing, disguising, converting, transferring or removing criminal property. These charges were later dropped by the prosecution at court.

f Around 350 people took part in last year's event

Special lantern parade will allow all to light up Selsey SELSEY Town Council is planning for its festive lantern parade to be at the centre of this year's Christmas celebrations again.

At the annual event last year, children from the town came together to kick-start the festive season, with more than 350 people taking part in the parade.

The council is asking for people to join in the fun this year by making their own lantern.

Becky White, town clerk, said: “We’re delighted to team up with Running Wild Forest School, who will be running the workshops at The Selsey Centre. This will be a

great opportunity to make your own traditional lantern to truly light up the evening on November 24.”

The workshops will take place on October 24 and November 3 and 10 at The Selsey Centre. Lantern making tickets are £3.50 each, while accompanying parent/carer tickets can be booked free of charge. Tickets can be booked at Selsey Town Council or online.

The festive lantern parade will take place as part of the town council's Christmas lights event in Selsey High Street on November 24.

Celebrations are planned for couple's 70th anniversary

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A WARTIME couple are due to celebrate their platinum wedding next week with some special plans.

Madge and Basil Lambert, from Selsey, are celebrating their 70th anniversary just a few months after Madge releases her first book detailing the couple's love.

In 1944, a 21-year-old Madge Graves was called up to serve in the Burma campaign in the Second World War. There, she would meet a soldier who would become the love of her life, Basil.

They were parted for around three years during the war which Madge recalls as feeling like a very long time.

She said: "We kept in contact all the time, of course. We wrote to each other."

Basil and Madge were married in St Mary's Church, Woking, in 1948. Madge recalls the dress was borrowed as they had coupons back then and couldn't afford to buy a brand new dress. She carried a bouquet of red roses and wore fresh white camellias in her hair.

They had their honeymoon in Brighton, but first travelled to London for a show.

They left Woking at 5pm and got on to a train.

Madge said: "There was all this confetti in the carriage so Basil opened the door and shovelled it all outside. Suddenly, everything went dead and the train

stopped because they thought someone had jumped out!"

Basil added: "The guard turned round and said, 'that's OK, I forgive you just this once!' and he went on."

Now, the couple, both 95, are travelling to Ripley in Surrey with close friends and family to mark the special occasion at Toby Cottage Restaurant. Basil said: "It makes sense for us to go there as most of our old friends live that way.

The invitations for the special event were designed by a friend of the family and stuck inside every one is a lucky sixpence from 1948.

Madge is one of the last few remaining women to have served as a nurse during the Burma Campaign.

On being married 70 years, Madge said: “You get less for murder don’t you! The secret is just to take things as they go really.

A case of give and take because we don’t agree to everything all the time which is, to my idea, sensible.

"I don’t believe in anybody who says they don’t argue. Our life now, of course, is quite simple. There aren't many people who reach 70 years."

Basil said the secret was not getting into trouble! He said: "It's three against one, I have two daughters and a wife, and I cannot win!"

Madge and Basil have enjoyed many

special occasions together through the years including appearing on Strictly Come Dancing and meeting Prince Harry at a garden party at Buckingham Palace.

Ca

Overcoming joint pain and osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It is a degenerative disease and is often referred to as "wear and tear" of a joint as you get older.

Osteoarthritis is painful as joints become stiff and inflamed when the smooth cartilage lining the joints gets damaged. Without the protection of cartilage, the rough surfaces of your bones rub together as you move, causing the pain that is all too common for sufferers.

Simple, everyday things, like going for a walk or even getting dressed can become difficult.

There’s no cure for osteoarthritis and it does get worse with time. However, at Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital, we are able to offer an excellent non-surgical treatment that can reduce pain and improve knee function called PRP nStride.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment nStride is an autologous procedure meaning ‘from your own body’ that involves a small amount of blood being drawn from the body before being processed using a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma in the blood. The plasma is then further processed with a centrifuge to separate a protein liquid, which is injected into the joint to treat pain

and slow the progression of cartilage degradation, enabling you to get back on your feet faster.

Mr Richard Hill, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, said: “Whilst there is no cure for osteoarthritis, nStride has been scientifically proven to significantly reduce pain, slow cartilage degradation and improve function in the knee joint.”

Mr Richard Hill is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital. For more information or to book a private consultation with Mr Hill, please call 01243 884594 or email Chichester.enquiries@nuffieldhealth.com.

“There is currently nothing else like this available right now, which is why we are delighted to offer this service to patients at Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital. As nStride is an autologous procedure, there is a minimal risk of infection which is why this is definitely something patients should consider. The treatment is extremely quick, painless and can be effective for at least 12 months. In some cases, this can also delay the need for surgical knee replacement by a matter of years. It is ideal for those who are finding their osteoarthritis is causing problems in their daily lives, or for those who have symptoms which are not serious enough to need a knee replacement.”

PRP nStride is available from £1500 and other forms of PRP are available for treating a variety of joint and tendon issues.

kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A CHICHESTER-BASED dementia charity has launched its first Christmas card range since opening in May. Based at Sage House, in Tangmere, Dementia Support provides complete dementia services under one roof for the local community.

The Christmas card has been designed by a Painting for Fun group who attend sessions at Sage House. The scene depicts a snowy village at Christmas which everyone in the group contributed to as each tree, house, snowman and decoration was painted by attendees and then arranged as a collage.

The group consists of people living with dementia and their carers and family.

Each month they individually paint a picture based on a theme chosen by tutor David Shannon.

David then takes everyone’s creations and puts them together as a collage.

Many of these can be seen around Sage House.

The actual painting and the Christmas cards were unveiled in a small ceremony on Tuesday, attended by the art group and visitors to Sage House. The Christmas cards are now officially on sale and can be bought for £4 per pack.

David spoke about the work he has done with the group as a volunteer tutor.

He said: "The painting achieved by the Sage House Painting for Fun art group is extraordinary. The artists have mixed

ability and skill, which is great and we accommodate that. The processes involved in being in a group, socialising, planning a painting and the painting itself are all a significant benefit to those who take part.

"All I do is to take their brilliant creations, cut them out and put them together as the collages, which are then framed. It is very much a team effort and lovely to see everyone’s work together."

Art is a very therapeutic activity for people living with dementia and their carers. It provides cognitive stimulation and an opportunity to socialise. Painting for Fun is run twice a month, and another watercolour art class is run once a month.

The other Christmas card design on sale is a Santa hat, which has been painted by Marion Swayne, who attends the watercolour classes with her husband, Ken. Sally Tabbner, chief executive, said: “We are very proud of our Christmas cards, more so because they have been designed by the people we support here at Sage House.

"It is a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness about dementia and show what our attendees achieve here at Sage House. Art is one of our many wellbeing activities which support people living with dementia, and their carers and families."

The Christmas cards can also be purchased at the charity’s Christmas fayre, held at Sage House on Saturday, December 1.

A CAR manufacturer in the city has announced it is recruiting for 200 new positions at the company's head office.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars made the announcement on Monday for the new jobs all based at Goodwood.

The new roles will bring the total workforce to over 2,000 for the first time, a six-fold increase on the original total when the company first opened in 2003.

The new roles are available across all skilled production areas, including wood, leather, assembly, test and finish, paint and logistics.

The successful applicants will undergo extensive training before hand-building the company’s model family members, including Phantom, Ghost, Wraith, Dawn and Cullinan.

Torsten Müller-Ötvös, chief executive, said: “I am delighted to announce our new recruitment programme. This reflects not only the success of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to

Rolls-Royce recently announced strong half-year sales, up 13 per cent compared to the same period in 2017, with demand for all Rolls-Royce models remaining strong in most regions around the world.

In addition to excellent sales of new Phantom, demand for Black Badge variants of Dawn, Ghost and Wraith continued to surpass expectations.

The new Rolls-Royce Cullinan was unveiled in May to great acclaim and already has a strong order book stretching well into next year. First customer deliveries of the new allterrain model are due in the first quarter of 2019.

Chugs, clinks and hisses all mark the countryside show

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A RAINY Saturday and bright Sunday in Singleton saw plenty of people visiting the Weald & Downland Living Museum’s Autumn Countryside Show.

The popular show featured traditional working demonstrations, including heavy horses and vintage tractors ploughing, steam-powered threshing, plus rural craft demonstrations, displays, competitions and stands with a countryside theme.

Working plough horses were a favourite, with the museum's own Shire and Percheron horses among the teams at work. Vintage tractors prepared the ground for sowing after the harvest and a diverse collection of tractors and farm implements were be on display.

The weekend's celebrations also included falconry and gun dog displays, with a fun dog show on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

Sally and Dan Peters, from Havant, attended with their children, Dylan, aged four, and six-year-old Maisie.

Sally said: "It is always a pleasure to come to the museum. The children learn so much and it gets them out of the house. I am glad we chose Sunday to visit because the weather on Saturday was horrible and it wouldn't have been much fun."

Dylan added: "I liked the birds,

especially the barn owl and looking at the tractors. We have been learning about harvest at school."

The steam-powered threshing of the museum’s wheat crop – separating grain from the straw – was a main attraction.

In the days before combine harvesters, the ‘threshing train’ was a common sight and usually comprised a steam traction engine, threshing drum, elevator, and

living van used by the engine driver and his mate.

Fun dog shows were run by MAD About Dogs with six fun classes to enter - most obedient dog, waggiest tail, dog that looks most like its owner, best bitch, best male and best rescue.

Members of the Fishbourne Mills Morris entertained crowds on Sunday.

Group leader, Helen Floyd said: "It's

been excellent.

"We have been dancing all day with a good crowd and lots of support. There has been lots of enthusiasm.

"We come here every year to dance in the market square and down by the cafe.

Because it's a very ancient, old, English tradition, it's right and proper that it should be part of an Autumn Countryside show."

School's environmental project is a real eye-opener for all the pupils

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk GETTING back to nature was the theme of this year's environmental project for schoolchildren across Chichester.

Chichester High School hosted the E.Y.E Project’s third Eco Summit annual event last Friday and invited primary schools including Lavant CE Primary School, Jessie Younghusband School, Tangmere Primary Academy and East Wittering Community Primary.

The E.Y.E. Project – Eco Young & Engaged – was established in 2008 by Tim Loughton, MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, in a bid to bring schools together to focus on caring for our planet.

Head of school at Chichester High School, Jo McKeown, said: "We are always delighted to host The E.Y.E Project at Chichester High School.

"Bringing primary and secondary school students together is so important to raise the awareness of the EcoSummit. We only have one planet and each new generation must take on the responsibilities of working to preserve it.

"There were so many interesting and exciting projects taking place which start an important conversation point for children and adults. Listening to pupils speaking so confidently and passionately was a real privilege.

"It is a pleasure to see so many people involved in how we, as a community, can change to help our planet, by doing little things each day.

Pupils were able to browse interactive stands, and attend fun and engaging

environmental workshops run by various Chichester and southern organisations, including Southern Co-op, Sussex Green Living, Arundel Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, Wastebuster, Froglife and the University of Chichester.

Dr Andy Clegg runs the tourism management degree at the University of Chichester. He said: "It's really interesting being here. Students have a real understanding of some of the issues. One that has come today is about plastics and the pupils are really aware of this which is positive.

"The television programme, The Blue Planet, has reinforced the issues and events like this one today is great for even more awareness. These are the skills sets of tomorrow. " Workshops included teaching children how to buy local and reduce plastic, building nest boxes using practical skills, utilising materials and resources to produce textural weaves and wall hangings, exploring the effects of the fashion industry on the climate, sustainable and unsustainable materials and learning about wildlife that lives in the pond.

Shannon Mills, Mia Baldwin and Catie Robertson, all aged ten, from St Albans C of E Primary School in Havant, enjoyed the Chichester Harbour Habitat Challenege. Mia said: "We had a group of different objects like tweezers, binder clips and an ice-cream scoop.

Using these tools, we had to pick up as many food items as we could in just 20 seconds. We managed to get 200 pieces of rice with an ice cream scoop."

Shannon added: "I liked the bird box

making. We got to use design technology equipment in a secondary school and we made one together as a group of three."

Craig Buchan and his friend, Isabelle Homer, both aged nine, from Southway Primary School, were looking for insects in a pond environment.

Isabelle said: "We found a tiny baby dragonfly and a leech. My favourite part today has been the weaving because I like all the pretty colours and I'm going to hang it up in my bedroom when I go home."

Jessica Hughes, Southern Co-op's community investment manager, said: "It is so important for us and other local businesses to be involved in projects like this. It brings local schools together to focus on the importance of caring for our planet.

"We are proud to sponsor as part of our community scheme Love Your Neighbourhood and our commitment to safeguarding the environment in which we all live and work."

Tim McGregor, Arundel Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust centre manager, said: "I believe that the E.Y.E project and the WWT Wetland Centre at Arundel offer young people an opportunity to become environmentally literate. They are able to engage though first-hand experiences that are inspiring, relevant and active, developing a lifelong interest in wetlands and understand their vital contribution to each of us."

A tail of a beagle and a barge

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk BOOK AND dog lovers gathered at the Canal Basin in Chichester last Thursday to celebrate the launch of a new book.

Local author Alison Alderton has released her first book Boating with Buster, which details the life and times of a barge Beagle.

Embarking on the Chichester Ship Canals Trust’s trip boat Richmond, VIP guest, Janet Richardson, editor of Towpath Talk – The UK’s number one read for all waterway users, untied a red ribbon from around the book to mark the launch.

This was followed by a cruise along the canal and a fish and chip lunch. During the trip, the canal trust’s Ian Milton spoke passionately about the canal’s history followed by Alison’s husband, Roger, who narrated selected short excerpts from the book to entertain guests.

Returning to the Canal Basin, the scene of action switched to the Canal Heritage centre where Alison signed copies of her book for sale to the public.

Following the passing of her beloved Beagle Buster three years ago, Alison set about putting pen to paper and writing about her adventures with her canine companion.

Boating with Buster has been described a charming story of boisterous beagles and bothersome boats as Buster's story is told through the waterways of Europe in a moving book of canine companionship.

The book launch marked a very special occasion for Alison, having taken her three years to realise her dream of getting

her book published and available to the public and being held at the Chichester Canal Trust basin, a place where both Alison and husband Roger grew up.

Also celebrating a special occasion was Alison's father, from Rose Green, and celebrating his 82nd birthday that same day.

Guests also received a goodie bag which was handed out in a pale blue bag with a Lily and the Barge Beagles sticker on it.

The bag contained a tea towel which

had a picture of Buster with the words: 'I've been Boating with Buster' written on it, as well as a card, badge, postcard, and other Buster memorabilia.

Alison and Roger's current Beagle family member, Maksi, seemed to enjoy being the star of the day, looking very much a sea dog in his high vis life jacket.

Boating With Buster is available to buy now. ISBN: 9781789014389

Radical plan for transport A VISION to improve travel and quality of life without building new roads along the south coast has been launched.

A New Direction - which has been sent to decision makers across the region calls for a more inclusive and integrated approach to transport.

The briefing report is based on research commissioned by umbrella group, the South Coast Alliance for Transport and the Environment (SCATE).

The alliance is asking decision-makers to look at smarter solutions that work for everyone - in particular the young, old and disabled - and not just people with access to a car.

Its chairman, Henri Brocklebank, said: "The evidence presented in this report demands that new road-building schemes in the region are measured against a series of realistic and meaningful issues.

"Road building as a knee-jerk response to consultation is an outdated approach."

Independent research commissioned

by SCATE showed road building was not the key to economic growth.

Increased road capacity generated more traffic, leading to further congestion and poor air quality, it found.

The alliance believes a co-ordinated re-think could ease congestion in the county and cut car use by more than ten per cent.

The Sussex branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) is one of several organisations which has supported the report's launch.

David Johnson, its chairman, said: "This is new thinking for new times. We all need to get about.

"This means making different forms

of transport work together, not just demanding more roads.

"Our integrated transport vision for Sussex offers a new approach to help town and country along our beautiful coast."

The wide range of measures proposed in the report include enhanced rail and public transport opportunities and improved walking and cycling

connections.

This balanced approach could help to solve the well-known problems around the A27 and support sustainable economic growth without the negative impact of extensive new road building.

Friends of the Earth's south east campaigner, Brenda Pollack, said: "Now is a good time to take stock and review the approach to transport provision on

the Sussex coast.

"There is a lot of uncertainty about how new technologies are changing people's behaviour. Transport policies based on past travel trends are out of date.

"The vision we set out seeks to create a healthier, wealthier, cleaner and more sustainable region."

` Probus club A FASCINATING talk about life under the Nazis was given to members of Chichester Probus Club at their latest meeting.

Adrian Pinel, ably assisted by Michael Chater, spoke about his childhood on the Channel Islands during the Second World War. Islanders who fell foul of the Nazis were sent to concentration camps.

Adrian's graphic talk gave members a timely reminder of the constant need to guard democracy.

At the same meeting, club welfare officer Mike Harvey provided an update about members who were unwell and how to contact them.

This is one way the club can help to prevent people from being isolated at a time when the needs of older people can be overlooked.

The club meets monthly. More details from Barry Brooks on 01243 262444.

Friends and family bake to beat cancer A DEVASTATING diagnosis has led a Pagham family to raise thousands of pounds to battle cancer.

Wayne Tulett-Wade decided to help fight the disease by organising a mass bake-off after his father was told he had a brain tumour.

The result of the popular session at their home saw them raise £2,000 for the charity, Brain Tumour Research.

This amount has been doubled by the Halifax bank to Wayne's delight after a friend who works at the bank wanted to support the good cause.

The 38-year-old organised a coffee and cake afternoon to support a generally overlooked charity.

"I looked into the charity and found out how poorly they are funded. I thought I would have everyone together while he’s still with us so I organised a coffee morning. I invited people to bake something," he said.

Wayne’s father, Ken Tester, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in April, at the age of 68. He was told it was treatable but not curable.

After picking up sepsis and then pneumonia, he managed only one cycle of treatment and is now at home enjoying the time he has left with his family.

Wayne, who has moved back in with his parents in Pagham to help care for his father, said: “Around 100 people turned up bringing home baked cakes with them and local businesses supported the event by donating gifts for a raffle.

“We were just bowled over by the support and the amount of cake that we had,” Wayne added.

“It was such a lovely day and the weather was nice.”

The event was held at Kenneth’s home as he wanted people to enjoy his garden.

Wayne said: “His dream when he retired was to have the garden of his dreams. It’s sad for me because he hasn’t been able to enjoy it. That’s all he ever

wanted to retire with. But he loved the day.

“It was really amazing. I think it’s going to be an ongoing thing as a family for us.

People that don’t even bake still baked something. It went down so well and the feedback was great.

“It was a great chance for dad to see that everyone is thinking of him and loves him. It was the best thing we could have done.”

Masons' history is on show FREEMASONS have publicly marked their formation in Bognor Regis.

They have unveiled a blue plaque outside their meeting place in the town.

The occasion comes 140 years after the town’s first masonic lodge met.

The plaque is displayed prominently on the front of The Gordon Centre, which is used by five lodges of some 200 members in all, plus those who belong to seven companion orders.

Bob Ison, one of the provincial assistant grandmasters in Sussex, performed the unveiling last Wednesday, watched by several dozen freemasons from the Masonic Province of Sussex, the Bognor Freemasons Hall Company and the town’s oldest lodge, Gordon Lodge.

“We have 20 Masonic buildings in Sussex and we are trying to get a blue plaque about our first meetings put on

all of them,” he said. “This is probably the fourth one so far.

“The Gordon Centre is one of our biggest centres in Sussex. It’s a permanent building. Not all our lodges have that. Some of them meet in huts and pubs.

“This centre has got all the facilities like catering and a dining room.”

The Gordon Lodge first met in the Assembly Halls of Bognor, now the

Picturedrome cinema, before its members moved to the Royal Norfolk Hotel. They decided in the 1920s to seek a permanent site and bought an empty plot of land in Canada Grove for £528 plus a further £25 to clear elm trees.

Building work started in May, 1929, after a procession of 150-plus freemasons in their regalia from the hotel. The centre was opened that October.

The timber and builders' merchant, which has its headquarters in Quarry Lane in Chichester, rewarded staff members for reaching their 30 and 40 year anniversaries at the business.

George Murphy, Glenn Boyce, Dave Greenshields, Barrie Parker, Bob Jones and Anne Morton have each spent three

Of the 25 fire stations in the county, 14 are crewed solely by an on-call workforce.

On-call firefighters can come from every walk of life. They have a range of backgrounds.

The new recruits were welcomed into the service after they had completed a two-week course.

This included teaching them to safely and effectively work at incidents, operate hoses, pumps and ladders on the ground and at height, and provide life support and first aid.

Their colleagues, Trevor Linscott and Kevin Sampson, have both been at the business for 40 years.

The long-serving staff were each presented with a gift from Covers' chairman Rupert Green.

He said: "Our staff are the backbone of our business and are responsible for making the company the huge success it is today.

"Congratulations to our wonderful long serving team for reaching such significant anniversaries.

"I would like to thank them for their commitment and loyalty to Covers over the past four decades.

Mr Linscott is a timber specialist at Covers in Chichester. He said: "I remember my first day at Covers like yesterday. It's hard to believe 40 years have already passed.

"I know I speak on behalf of the rest of the team when I say how enjoyable it is working here.

"I consider my colleagues to be an extension of my family. I've had a very happy and fulfilling career."

‘I WOULD be nothing without my wife,’ says Nobel Literature prize-winner Joe Castleman of Joan, his wife of 40 years, played stunningly by Glenn Close. In The Wife she questions her life choices as she travels with Joe (a magnificent Jonathan Pryce) to the Nobel ceremony in Stockholm to receive the honour.

On the journey, they are confronted by biography writer (Christian Slater) hoping that his upcoming biography of Joe will be even more juicy as he knows secrets, betrayals and of Joan’s past accomplishments dismissed by the men in her youth, including her arrogant husband. This complex ballet of the unspoken allows the cast to really let rip – Slater and Close in particular share some deliciously ambiguous moments of tension, sexual or otherwise. But who is the real star, the wife or the prize-winner?

Star filmmaker Spike Lee comes up with the incredible true story of an American hero, Ron Stallworth, in BlacKkKlansman, the first African-American detective to serve in the Colorado Springs police department. Determined to make a name for himself, he infiltrates the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan with the help of Flip, a fellow officer (Adam Driver) to take down the extremist hate group. But this film, set in the 1970s, goes deep into the American psyche of racism, travelling from the 1930s to present-day Charlottesville, Virginia, when protesters suffered during a racist rally. This hugely entertaining film is a must-see on all levels.

crisis when a group, led by Eric (Rob Brydon), decides to take up synchronised swimming, coach Susan (Charlotte Riley) having the unenviable task of whipping them into shape for a competition. The Full Monty in Speedos!

The remarkable A Prayer Before Dawn tells the true tale of Billy Moore (Joe Cole, Peaky Blinders) a young English boxer incarcerated in two of Thailand’s most notorious prisons with its terrifying world of drugs and gang violence. You can feel the heat. You can feel the rage of the central character. As a piece of experiential cinema, it's really, really overpowering.

Health & Wellbeing

by Denise Kelly

Embrace plants to help with cancer treatments I HAVE experienced many clients now with cancer diagnoses, and it's always a tough one to deal with, mainly because there are so many emotions attached to the disease.

When it comes to treatment, I do not think one size fits all in the medical world or in the ‘alternative’ or ‘natural therapy’ world at all.

Basically, the best advise I can give is when the going gets tough, is firstly take a deep breath and take a gigantic step back from everyone and everything.

Breathing helps you to relax and get your thoughts in order as there will be endless ideas, advice, theories and even some bullying thrown your way. Not only is your breathing great to calm the mind, but it's your pathway to listening to your own intuition. Remember, this is about what is best for you.

When you are in any prolonged flight or fight mode (an anxious state) it is very hard to make decisions and easy to get confused, anxious and exhausted. This is not going to help you one bit, as it's these decisions you make that are going to affect the way you feel

about the diagnosis, the help you encounter to get you the right treatment for you, and ultimately, how you get well.

Many people, professional, friends and family, mean well. However, if you always believe what you hear, it could take you to the wrong place, mentally and physically.

Get second, third, fourth opinions if you need them. You are well within your rights. Seek and you shall find!

Get the person, specialist, doctor that you connect with the most and that you have faith and trust in the treatment that they are offering you. Whatever your disease is, you deserve the best treatment for you. Does your oncologist have all the latest research on your particular disease? Are they able to tap into a network of specialists that can discuss your case? Are they aware of not only traditional medical treatments that may help you, but possibly alternative and natural clinics that may make your whole experience better if this is what you want?

You see, from my experience with clients,

When you are in fight mode (an anxious state) its very hard to make decisions.

just having one doctor is not enough. You need to build yourself an integrated team so you treat your body as a whole, and that includes your emotions, too. Not to mention boosting your immune system, helping reduce stress, aiding your sleep and reducing your inflammation. In a nutshell, to do this you will need to embrace plants!

Green beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, sea vegetables, low glycemic fruits and as many green leaves as you can get in the form of kale, cabbage, rocket, watercress, chard, etc. Override inflammatory causing foods such as dairy, animal produce, processed anything, sugar, (natural and artificial) wheat, and make sure that each and everything you eat has a cancer-fighting purpose. Make plants your main dish and everything else a condiment.

Avoid shop-bought juices. The only ones that are going to heal you now are the ones you make yourself with fresh fruits and veggies.

My basic ratio is 3:1 - Three veggies to one low glycemic fruit. Don't forget about adding fresh ginger as it has a great protection for your immunity and helps with your digestion.

These are two vital factors for staying well.

Lemon or lime, too, adds great cleansing and is alkalising with very little sugar. Juices are fantastic at keeping your energy high, they are

extremely hydrating and medicinal, and keep your bowel movements regular which helps to keep your system flowing properly.

Many of the chemicals found in personal care products such as shampoos, skin moisturisers, perfumes, make-up and deodorants have been linked to increased risk of cancers, infertility, birth defects, hormone disruptions. Considering that the average person uses nine different products in any one day it's not surprising they are causing havoc. The same is true for household cleaning products. This is a whole different subject on its own, but one you need to take seriously if you wish to stay well.

Cancer is such a massive topic, and one which I will cover more in future columns.

But the one thing I know to be certain when it comes to this disease, is that a sedentary lifestyle is actually dangerous. It is important to rest of course, but lack of exercise speeds up muscle wasting, weakens your endurance, and creates more fatigue and toxic overload in your body.

Your body needs to move in order to stay strong. Exercise reduces inflammation and growth stimulators such as oestrogen, insulin, and short bursts of exercise can have impressive results on your health. You don't need any fancy equipment or classes necessarily. Just get out of your chair and commit to some form of moderate exercise on a daily basis. You body needs you to move every day to get oxygen into your healthgiving beautiful cells.

The important thing to remember with any cancer treatment is that you are looking after the healthy cells, too, in order to stay strong and fighting fit.

This scary looking treatment is actually incredibly gentle but gives the most AMAZING exfoliation results on all skin types including sensitive!

Dermaplaning facials have been growing in popularity across skin clinics in the UK among clients who want to rid their skin of downy ‘peach fuzz’ hair and exfoliate at the same time.

How it works: After thoroughly cleansing and toning the skin a medical grade scalpel is used in short feathery strokes all over the face and neck (excluding the nose) to remove the downy hairs known as vellus hairs.

These hairs grow back eventually over 2-3 months and will re-grow as they were before, no darker or stronger. (Any stronger terminal hairs are removed prior to the treatment) A second exfoliation removes a build up of surface dead skin cells and skin

debris, helps to heal old blemishes by encouraging cell turnover and unblocks pores.

The third and final stage of exfoliation is a gentle but effective fruit enzyme peel which can ‘nibble’ through any remaining dead skin, loosen and dissolve blackheads and reveal fresher, brighter skin in the layers below.

There is no prolonged redness or sensitivity, normal skin care routines can start the very next day and there is no ‘down time’ meaning no time off work (sorry!) or limitations to day to day activities. That said it is advisable not to go out in the sun for 5-7 days as with any professional exfoliation treatment and always wear an SPF to protect your skin against harmful rays. An SPF is especially important after a peel as your skin is temporarily thinner than usual and therefore doesn’t have the same resistance to UV light as it would normally.

Youalacrity. As one has to buy six bottles t or classesat least to benefit from lower prices, I r chair anddecided to discipline myself to just select ate exercisesix from the copious number on offer you to moveand to allow myself just one indulgence! our health- Initially, two New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs caught my eye and the 2017 ber with anyRussian Jack Sauvignon Blanc on offer at ooking afterjust £7.99 and named after a much-loved stay stronggentleman of the road, but presumably not a Soviet envoy, who from 1878 to 1968 carried his life in huge sacks upon d motivatedhis shoulders and was indeed a fruit r companypicker par excellence. mpany and With a slight spritz and hint of guava, fitness. this wine exudes lime and lemon grass and is pure Sauvignon Blanc to savour 730671436characterised by a memorable passion nyltd.comfruit finish.

My second Sauvignon Blanc happened

kelly.co.uk

to be a 2017 Vavasour from the Atawere Valley on offer for £9, for a short period only, and one that abounds with flavour, is perfectly balanced, has hints of ripe pear and lime with a delightfully refreshing, piercing aftertaste of sherbet lemons and one which fully merits its various awards!

My final white wine selection was that of a 2017 Les Millières Montagny 1er Cru from Buxy in Burgundy’s Côtes Chalonnaise on offer for £11.99. This wine exudes freshness, has balanced acidity and a steely minerality, is pleasingly soft on the palate with peach, pear and acacia aromas and, with lemon zest in the background, is nutty and creamy, but less buttery than the 2015 vintage, culminating in a long finish undoubtedly a good Burgundy at this price!

Averting my attention from whites, I carefully selected three reds of Spanish, Italian and French provenance beginning with a 2013 Viña Alarde Rioja Reserva for the enticing price of just £7.49.

Matured for a minimum of two years in American oak casks, this ruby red coloured wine has delicious vanilla overtones which complement the fruity red berry flavours, notably strawberry and morello cherry, and with a hint of leather and tobacco to boot!

Grippy tannins also are a feature of this easy-drinking Rioja Reserva and it could be a great accompaniment to lamb stew!

Moving away from the Iberian

peninsula, my second red choice was that of a 2016 Passi OneMento from downtown Verona on offer for £8.99 and produced from the practice of appassimento which involves the grapes losing about 30 per cent of their water content and thus concentrating the juice and intensifying the wine’s flavour.

This rich red wine with its hints of leather and spice and strong tannins is a wine well worth exploring! Finally, my indulgence. I picked the winning combination of good vintage good terroir and fine wine to expend £27

PostMain

on a 2010 Château Haut de La Bécade Pauillac.

This gem comes from the hamlet of Bages and right beside the renowned estate of Lynch-Bages and this proximity prompted my choice alongside my awareness that Pauillac wines are highly sought after, given their balance finesse

and ability to age gracefully.

This example has well-aligned tannins and oozes dark fruit, liquorice, some cigarette ash and cedar in abundance.

Cassis on the nose and a long finish help to make this a most memorable wine with good ageing potential - un vrai délice - à un de ces jours!

Community News & Views CHOCOLATE firm Montezuma's has completed a week of charity events.

Customers and staff helped to raise money for Children on the Edge - the charity which works to restore the ingredients of a full childhood to forgotten children, living on the edge of their societies.

Fundraising activities included an auction of promises, a staff cake sale and a festival themed day at Montezuma's HQ. As a result of Charity Week, Montezuma's, which has a branch in East Street, Chichester, will be donating £10,000 to Children on the Edge.

Throughout the week, Montezuma's also encouraged customers to get involved with fundraising in its stores in Chichester, Winchester, Kingston, Brighton and Spitalfields.

A range of competitions and activities was on offer including guess the number of buttons in the jar.

Amy Napper, pictured below, assistant manager of the Chichester store, also designed and printed a range of children's colouring in sheets.

Children on the Edge has been Montezuma's chosen charity for over ten years and Helen Pattinson, Montezuma's co-founder, is also a trustee.

Helen said: "I can't believe that's another charity week over. It's one of my favourite weeks of the year so it's always fantastic to plan and take part in such a fun range of activities.

"We are incredibly proud to have supported Children on the Edge for a number of years, so it was great to see our factory, head office and shop staff come together to raise much needed funds for our chosen charity. We continue to provide ongoing support to Children on the Edge through the year with staff fundraising and our customers also help by putting their change in our charity boxes and making donations for our paper bags in shops."

CHICHESTER Lions Club’s 24th annual model railway exhibition will be held next Saturday (October 20) at Chichester High School.

There will be 23 railway layouts in scales from N-gauge (smallest) to 16mm (largest), which will form the nucleus of the show and on five of these the public can enjoy driving the trains.

These will be supported by a detailed rural landscape next to a railway and three stands of working Meccano models.

Chichester Model Engineers will be showing static models of “bigger trains” and there is also the opportunity to have a ride on the outdoor railway.

Trade stands will also attend and will be selling a wide range of models, equipment, modelling tools and books to provide modellers with all the essentials they need.

Information from railway preservation societies will be available, too.

There will be an attractive array of refreshments throughout the day at The

Junction Café with a menu relating to the time of day.

Toovey’s Auctioneers’ specialist toy auctioneer/ valuer, Mr Chris Gale, will also be on hand and will arrange to sell any toys, should the owner wish.

Games with prizes include a children’s “I-Spy on the Layouts” competition, and “Pick-a-Winning-Station” from a familiar railway network.

The event is planned to be officially opened by the mayor, Cllr Martyn Bell, at 10.30am.

The Lions would like to thank Chichester-based companies Covers, Dyson King, Good News, Henry Adams, LA Fish, Panther Truck Rental, Parhams, and Westrings Coaches, and Bognor-based Top Level Designs for their support.

All proceeds from the event go to charities supported

by Chichester Lions Club throughout the year.

CHICHESTER Festival Theatre has selected St Wilfrid's Hospice as one of its chosen charities for the next two years.

The theatre will support St Wilfrid’s Dreambuilding appeal to open a new hospice in spring 2019.

This will help it continue to deliver the highest quality end-oflife care into 2020.

St Wilfrid’s is an independent local charity which has been caring for people in the last phase of their lives for more than 30 years.

Given the growing demand for their services and to maintain their high standards of specialist care, a new, larger, purposedesigned ‘Dreambuilding’ is needed.

Over the last two years, the local community has generously supported the Dreambuilding appeal to raise at least £15.5 million to create the new Hospice in Bosham.

With 88 per cent already raised, St Wilfrid’s needs a further £1.7 million by the end of March.

Rachel Tackley, executive director of Chichester Festival Theatre, said: “We are pleased to be able to support this vital local charity.

"Earlier this summer, members of our youth theatre performed at a fundraising gala for St Wilfrid’s.

"We’ll be selling Pansy Pins in our theatre shop and holding a bucket collection for the Dreambuilding appeal in the coming months.”

Alison Moorey, chief executive of St Wilfrid’s, said: “We are thrilled that the Chichester Festival Theatre has chosen St Wilfrid’s Hospice as one of its charity partners for the next two years.

"Their support comes at a crucial time for the Dreambuilding campaign as we work towards raising the remainder to deliver our new hospice on time.

"We are looking forward to working closely with the theatre team over the coming months”.

f LAST W Sir, Hope you don't mind but I just had to respond to an article. I picked up a copy of your newspaper when visiting Fishbourne Palace last week - my husband and I were on holiday in West Sussex for a week.

We read your lead article about the cancellation of the Velo cycling event with amazement.

We live in York (a popular cycling city) and surrounded by several counties where cycling for fun, fitness, competition and transport to and from work and school is the norm for all ages and abilities - very proud of the long cycling heritage.

I think that it is very sad that a number of people in your county cannot embrace a few hours of road closures for the enjoyment of others.

Do these people drive everywhere? Do they ever walk or cycle anywhere? Are they so reliant on the car that they cannot bare to be without it for this short space of time?

The Tour de Yorkshire has run every year since Yorkshire hosted the first leg of the Tour de France several years ago. All our cities, towns and villages enjoy the spectacle.

We have significant road closures for four days. Some people do complain, of course, but everyone else works around it.

The benefits from events like this are immense - it's a great opportunity to showcase your county, it increases tourism, it gets more people interested in the sport and, the biggest benefit of all, is that it encourages people of all ages and fitness levels to get on a bike and do some much needed exercise.

PERFORMING arts students at Chichester College are hoping to return to a world famous festival next year.

The cast and crew of this year's show at the Edinburgh Festival were delighted to have sold out three of their five performances of The Jungle Book. Their eyecatching costumes, pictured above, helped to bring the colourful characters of Rudyard Kipling's classic children's story to life.

Jess Dunham is studying stage management and operated sound for the show.

She said: "It was amazing.

The best experience of my life."

It was the second time the college had taken a show to the festival.

Executive principal Andrew Green said: "It was a fantastic experience for our students, who grew so much in just a few days. I'm incredibly proud of them."

Historic Thorney Island is still an English rose

By Pat Saunders, volunteer at the Novium Museum SITUATED in Chichester Harbour, this peninsula is separated from the mainland by a channel known as ‘The Great Deep’. The name Thorney derives from Old English, ‘Torn Eye’ or ‘Island of Thorns' and perhaps refers to the abundance of hawthorn bushes found on the island.

Worked flint and pottery fragments found from recent excavations on the island suggest people lived or at least travelled through here in the prehistoric period. A series of Bronze Age funerary urns were found in the area, the north of Hayling Island and in the south part of Langstone, as well as one in West Thorney suggest there may have been an ‘urnfield’, or Bronze Age cemetery. There is also evidence of Roman occupation in the area.

The Roman road between Portsmouth and Chichester ran close to the island. The Romans departed 410AD to be replaced by Angles and Saxons. They left little evidence of whether they occupied the island although

it’s believed to be the birthplace of Caedmon, a Saxon poet. He was the author of the hymn of praise, “Dream of the Holy Rood”.

Thorney Island is thought to be from where Earl Swein (Sweyn) Godwinson, brother of King Harold, who was defeated at the Battle of Hastings, left England for Flanders after being outlawed by King Edward in 1051.

In the Domesday Book, Thorney Island (or West Thorney as it was called) was the land of Bishop Osbern, who held Bosham Church.

Thorney was an offshore island, and was shown as an island on Saxton’s map of Sussex in 1575. In 1870 it was linked to the mainland by the reclamation of tidal mudflats. A previous attempt in the 1800s to build a causeway to link Thorney Island to Chidham had failed.

Today, Thorney Island is best known for its military airbase. It was by chance that the RAF chose Thorney Island to build an air station. A plane had crashed on the island in

Planes took off from the island for reconnaissance missions, raids and patrols during the Second World War.

September, 1933 which had resulted in the death of the pilot.

When officials were investigating the accident, the potential of the site to house an airbase was realised. The RAF started building in 1938. In 1940, after the Second World War began, all the civilian population, around 200 people, were evacuated to other parts of Sussex. Later, the buildings, the school, the men’s club, the cottages and houses were all demolished, leaving only the church of St Nicholas standing.

The church is believed to have been built around 1100 by Bishop Warlewast. The church has an ancient bell, possibly dated to around 1250, which has a unique inscription to Sussex ‘+IHESVS’, simply meaning ‘Jesus’. It is thought it may be one of the oldest inscribed bells in West Sussex.

Planes took off from the island for reconnaissance missions, raids and patrols during World War Two. This area was also attacked by German Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain when the Germans launched

an extensive bombing campaign.

The RAF remained on the island until the base was closed on March 31, 1976.

At the end of the 1970s, beginning of the 1980s, the station was used as temporary housing for Vietnamese boat people, refugees from South Korea, while their asylum claims were processed, and were then moved to their permanent destinations. Charities such as the British Red Cross helped care for them.

The site was re-opened in 1982 by the Royal Artillery, which named the site Baker Barracks. Since the end of the war, civilians have been allowed to move back as the 2001 census showed the population was 1,079.

In recent years, Thorney Island has become joined with Pilsey Island (Just off the south eastern tip) by accumulating sand. Pilsey Island encompasses a variety of coastal environments as well an RSPB nature reserve and a designated local nature reserve.

As the island is still a military base, only the church and coastal footpath are open to the public.

Rich added: "The costs are low because it's a simple plane with sophisticated engines and uses little fuel.

"You don't need a full medical either, just a medical certificate from your GP which means nobody is excluded from flying, Microlights are for everybody.”

Sport 37

PostSport First Bognor, now the world - air miles aplenty for jetsetting joggers BOGNOR'S Kari Mack is keeping her feet well and truly on the ground after the runner returned from her international debut as a record breaker.

The Bognor Tone Zone Runner was selected

by England to take part in the over-45 category for the home nations marathon match in Chester.

This is despite Kari running her first 26-mile race just five months ago.

Mack was invited to take part in the masters race after her outstanding performance at the Brighton Marathon earlier in the year.

She flew the flag for Bognor Regis with pride, finishing the Chester marathon in 3 hours 14 minutes, which takes six minutes off the ladies' club marathon record.

It was one part of a busy weekend for the Bognor-based club, which had runners taking part in 15 different events in three countries with more than 500 miles run.

The club's very own Galway Girls, Kate O’Connor and Carolyn Stapley, headed to the west coast of Ireland for a half marathon.

The conditions couldn’t have been better for the dynamic duo, with Stapley first home in 1:45 with O’Connor coming in at 1:48.

Closer to home in Chichester was the half marathon. The first three home for the club were Juliet Stallard, Duncan Stephenson-Gill and Trev Strowger who all finished in 1:40 or below.

The Brighton 10 mile race also took place last Sunday. Peter Lee nailed his target of finishing the race in an hour while Jessica Thomson finished second in her age category and grabbed a 4 minute personal best of 1:09.

Sticking with Jess for the first two miles was Alan Coombs who crossed the line in 1:15.

Martin Playford and Stuart Thomson ran a close race and both finished under 1:30.

Across the pond, over in Chicago, a quartet of Tone Zoners tackled a range of events.

Coming back from injury, Natalie King ran the 5k event on the Saturday and finished in 32 minutes. On the Sunday, Neil Strudwick, Grace Natoli and Derek Natoli mixed it with Mo Farah in the full marathon, finishing with times of 4:20, 4:38 and 4:53 respectively.

On the Cornwall Coast was Jude Bazeley who was running the Atlantic Coast Challenge, a three day 80-mile challenge from Padstow to Lands End. Jude completed the event in a combined time of 24 hours and 24 minutes.

DARTS: Three maximums and an excellent 142 out shot from Legends X's Lee Hellyer saw the Tuesday DoubleIn Double-Out Darts League kick off in style.

17 teams split over two divisions are taking part in the 2018/19 version of the competition which sees dozens of players compete for a range of silverware.

Those taking part chalked up a range of excellent scores in the first round of action. Here are the results in full from week one:

f Four Tone Zoners ran in Chicago last weekend

f Kari Mack smashed the club record as she made her international bow running for England in the Chester Marathon

Seventh heaven as Baker wins Chi Half

f James Baker receives his winning medal

CHICHESTER Runners' James Baker continued his remarkable run of success in his home town half marathon after registering his seventh win in a row in the race.

More than 700 people took part in three separate running events which saw competitors wind their way around the city before heading out into the countryside.

The pinnacle for those completing the 13-mile half marathon was heading up the intimidating Trundle Hill on top of the South Downs before winding back down the Centurion Way to the finish line.

Baker, as he has done for many years, led the way, crossing the finishing line in a time of one hour 13 minutes 30 (1:13:30).

The time was some five minutes off his personal best of 68 minutes. But with the tough climb up the Trundle tackled Baker was delighted to keep his supreme run in the race going.

He was followed home by club mate Mike Houston, who made it a one-two for

Chichester Runners with a time of 1:15:58.

There was then a gap of more than seven minutes to third-place runner Matthew Jolly who stopped the clock on 1:23:35.

Midhurst Miler Emily Iredale was first in the women's race with a time of 1:31:45.

She was more than six minutes quicker than the second runner home, who was Bognor Tone Zone Runners' Juliet Stallard (1:37:04).

Unattached runner Victoria Edwards was third in 1:37:41.

The event, which was organised by Chichester-based Children on the Edge, raises money for its work supporting refugee youngsters around the world.

It also included a ten mile race, which avoided the Trundle, and a team relay.

The winners of these events were: Lindsay Russell (men's ten mile - 1:03:38), Claire Cannon (women's ten mile - 1:23:21) and How Jack Files (team relay - 1:33:30).

SHORT MAT BOWLS: Boxgrove-based Infinity made it a day to remember, taking the top two spots in the Sussex County Triples competition.

The trio of Robin Armstrong, Charlotte Rollings and Chris Page, pictured below, won through in a tight final against defending champions Jack Rollings, Chris Jeffrey and Richard Jeffrey.

Robin, Chris and Charlie picked up a two in the penultimate end to edge them in front. After some good bowling from both sides, they held on to take the title.

It's been a good few weeks for the club after they started their season with a win over Bognor Goodwoods.

The Infinity quartets won both mats, with Robin Armstrong, Pauline Jeffery, Chris Page and Richard Jeffery in total control winning their match 31-12.

Lions await free-scoring City as Chi win to return to the top

f Blues' Chris Johnson on the charge

Blues boss in support plea CHICHESTER RFC's chairman has issued a rallying call for supporters to help the club thrive off the pitch as well as on it.

While the Blues have endured a disappointing start to the London South One season, the combination of a thriving youth set up and new clubhouse means Chi have a structure which is the envy of many in the south east.

But, in a post on the club's website, chairman Paddy McAlpine said the lack of volunteers on match days was 'unsustainable'.

With only two people setting up on match days and no manager for the first team, he urged people to come forward to ensure that rugby in the city continued to thrive.

He added: "While on the field rugby will always prevail, there are far too few of us involved in helping the players enjoy their role in the club.

"What I am asking for is a few more willing volunteers who regularly come to home games to come along two hours before kick- off to help prepare the changing rooms and equipment on the pitches.

"Off the field, this is a time of great change. No matter

how little it may be, any time you can give the club will be massively appreciated."

The call comes as Chi sit third bottom after suffering their fifth defeat in six thanks to a 17-11 home reverse against Dartfordians last time out.

The game was played in monsoon conditions and was interrupted for close to 30 minutes after an injury to Chi's second row Henry Lock.

As the player was taken to hospital as a precaution, the match was completed on the second XV pitch.

Blues began brightly with an early Charlie Norton penalty followed by a Rhys Thompson try, who capitalised on indecision in the visitors' defence. But the Kent side hit back and, with the help of a penalty try from a scrum, went in 10-8 up at the break.

After the visitors scored a second try, Blues did rally and were unlucky not to register more than a losing bonus point for their efforts.

Next up is a trip to high-flying Brighton on October 20 (3pm).

Having used 39 players so far this season, it is hoped the two week break will provide Chi sufficient time for some of the injured players to return.

f Chi lost 11-17 to Dartfordians last weekend

Email: sport@sussexpost.co.uk

TABLE-TOPPING Chichester City will be looking to keep on firing as the club play two crucial matches in less than a week.

With more than a quarter of the season gone, Miles Rutherford's side currently sit one point clear at the top of the SCFL Premier.

Chi returned to first place after a comfortable 2-0 away win against struggling Little Common last weekend.

Gicu Iordache hit home on the stroke of half time before Scott Jones wrapped up the win with a well-taken goal on the hour mark.

It means Chi have now netted 33 times in their league matches so far, an average of more than three goals a game.

The good form has extended to all competitions, with City winning eight of their last nine matches in all competitions.

Chi will look to extend that good run when they welcome Eastbourne Town to Oaklands Park tomorrow (3pm).

Then Rutherford's charges will make the short trip to Pagham on Tuesday in the third round of the Peter Bentley Cup (7.30pm).

With both sides closely matched in recent seasons, Chi will need to be at their best to defeat a side who are third in their division.

f City have won eight of their past nine matches

Lions and Sids in Vase action

PAGHAM and Sidlesham are on the road to Wembley as they face very different tests in the FA Vase.

Both clubs are among only a dozen Sussex clubs still left in the non-league knockout competition, which pitches clubs from across the country against each other.

Pagham, who sit third in SCFL Premier, have perhaps the better chance of progressing from the first round as they head to south west London to play Combined Counties Premier side Hanworth Villa tomorrow (3pm).

Lions make the trip full of confidence after

scoring 13 goals with no reply in two very convincing victories in the last week.

First was a 6-0 win over Langney Wanderers in the league at Nyetimber Lane last weekend, with Howard Neighbour scoring a hat trick.

Then Pagham hit league rivals Lancing for seven in the Sussex Senior Cup first round as George Gaskin and Callum Overton both bagged a brace in the rout.

Sidlesham, who are mid table in the SCFL Division One, have a much tougher task welcoming Chatham Town to the Recreation Ground (3pm).

f Pagham get a shot away in the 6-0 Langney win

With the Kent side sitting second in the Southern Counties East Premier, the lower ranked Sids will need luck on their side if they are to progress.

Steve Bailey's side have won just one of their last six matches, suffering defeats to Bexhill in the league (3-1) and Mile Oak in the division one cup (2-0) in the last week.

Fellow SCFL Division One side Selsey are also in a slump, winning just one of their last eight in all competitions.

The Blues are ninth in the table after losing 2-0 away to league leaders AFC Varndeanians last weekend.

That was followed by a spirited performance in the Peter Bentley Cup when a Ryan Morey double was in vain in a 3-2 loss to Crawley Down Gatwick.

Next up is a home league match against mid-table Billingshurst tomorrow (3pm).

In SCFL Division Two, Bosham will be hoping the cup will provide light relief and help the Robins arrest a poor start.

With manager Dennis Hughes departing barely a month into the campaign, the Walton Lane side have struggled and won just one of their nine matches, which leaves them third bottom.

After a 3-3 draw against Littlehampton United last time out, with Alex Barnes scoring a hat trick, the Robins head to Rustington tomorrow in the first round of the Sussex Intermediate Cup (3pm).

Wright excited for Chi's Essex cup trip CHICHESTER City Ladies' coach Matt Wright says the club cannot wait to head into uncharted territory as the club's attention turns to the cup.

After a week off, the Oaklands Park side return to action on Sunday (2pm) heading to Essex to play Billericay Ladies in the second round of the league cup.

While Chi are flying high in the National South, they will be in for tough match at the AGP Arena against a side who are second in the National South East Division One. Wright, who has been instrumental in the club's development over the last decade, warned, while it was a 'fantastic draw', Billericay would be 'tough opposition'.

He said: "As a whole, it is a bit of an unknown

set-up. They are flying through the leagues and look really strong. Along with Crawley, they look well-placed in their division.

"We'd love to play all of our cup games down at Oaklands but it's not like it's at the other end of the country. The journey should be fairly comfortable.

"It's quite exciting playing a new team and in a new stadium which we haven’t come across before."

Away from the first team, Chichester City College Academy pupils Lauren Barrow, Amber Howden, Loulou Robson and Alice Walford have been picked to represent the under-19s Sussex Schools squad.

Molly Stoddart, of Chichester's u14s, has been selected to play for her county age group.

Rocks ready to bring league leaders Angels back to earth Next Game

TONBRIDGE (A) Tomorrow, 3pm

BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce believes his side have nothing to fear as they head to top of the table Tonbridge Angels tomorrow.

The Rocks are third in the Bostik Premier and are yet to taste defeat in nine games so far.

Coming off the back of an 8-0 thrashing of Burgess Hill Town in the last match, the mood at the Nye Camp is high with a real belief that Bognor can give the league leaders a run for their money at Longmead Stadium (3pm).

But, to come away with all three points, they will need to correct a run of five consecutive away league draws which means they are currently five points behind their hosts.

Pearce said: "We will give anyone a good game. The spirit in the camp is good and we know that we are capable of beating anyone.

"The nature of this level of football is that you will always get inconsistencies at this level.

"We have not played well in the first half of games so far so I hope that we can improve on that in the matches to come."

A bumper crowd is expected to flock to north Kent for the top-of-the-table clash tomorrow.

With the match falling on non-league day, the hosts are offering discounted entry at only £5 per adult for anyone arriving in the ground by 2.15pm.

Rocks will be without top scorer Dan Smith, who is out for between four and six weeks because of a hip injury.

Also out are central defenders Keaton Wood and Corey Heath, which has meant Bognor have been short at the back.

To cover the absence Pearce has added the services of 17-year-old central defender Joe Dandy, who has signed on loan from League One Portsmouth.

He will go straight into the squad for Saturday and also be available for Tuesday's home league match against Folkestone Invicta (7.45pm).

Pearce said: "He is a first-year scholar but we're told he has showed great promise even though is one of the younger members of Pompey's current crop of under 18s. As ever we're grateful to Pompey and delighted our association with them continues to flourish."

Bognor were without a game last weekend as Corinthian Casuals had to play a FA Cup replay against St Albans City on the Saturday.

But Pearce believes the extra few days will mean his young side will be rested and raring to go for the tough test ahead.

He said: "It was quite handy with the injuries that we have had. We will only know at 5pm on Saturday if the lack of a game is a good thing. I haven’t got a crystal ball."

He added: "I will be delighted if we come away with four points from the two matches.

But what will be the difference this season is picking up maximum points against the bottom teams."

Bognor starlets in cup action ROCKS fans are being urged to get a glimpse of the club's future as Bognor's under-18s face a crunch FA Youth Cup tie under the lights at Nyewood Lane.

The under 18s take on Sutton United in the in the third qualifying round tie of the national competition on Wednesday (7.45pm).

Win and the Rocks teens could be pitted against youngsters from Portsmouth or Sunderland in the next round.

Bognor earned the tie thanks to wins over Haywards Heath and Guildford City. And boss Dave Daniel, a sports lecturer at Chichester College, hopes Rocks fans will turn up in numbers to cheer on potential future stars.

He said: "The bigger picture is we want to develop players who will progress to the first team.”

Among those keeping an eye on youngsters like Jack Parkinson, Jamie Carroll and Joe Bennett will be Bognor manager Jack Pearce and assistant Robbie Blake, who are set to run the rule over those in the youth ranks.

Pearce said: "We're hearing decent reports on how well the youngsters are progressing and it is very encouraging for the future of the club."

Admission is £3 adults, £1 concessions.

f Jack Pearce and Robbie Blake on the sidelines

IT'S NOT often as a nonleague footballer that you get a weekend off in the middle of the season.

But that's exactly what we all had as the fixture gods ensured we had last Saturday off.

There will always be a few of the lads who used the time to do some training on their own.

Personally, I think it is nice to have a break.

I enjoyed a bit of time off and, after seeing friends and having a few drinks on Friday, I went to watch Moneyfields against Worthing on the Saturday before going to a wedding on Saturday evening.

It's always nice to have a mental break from the season.

It's not so much the physical break as we make up for it in training.

At our level, no one goes crazy, though, as we are all conscious we need to be in a certain shape so we can keep on performing come match day.

If we didn't do that, then we wouldn't be at the level that we are.

In a funny way, I did miss my Saturday routine. And in some ways it can be a bad thing to have a break, especially as we are doing well in the league and putting together a good run.

But the few days off did suit me as I have played 90 minutes in every pre-season and league match so far, as well as the majority of the cup games.

It also gives us a chance to focus on what will be a big match at Tonbridge Angels tomorrow. I'm absolutely buzzing for it. I can't wait!

We have played a lot of teams so far this season who we have dominated possession against and on reflection we should have beaten.

But Tonbridge have shown they are a good side, which is why they are up at the top along with Hornchurch.

I reckon it will be a good game and I really hope we go there and give it a good go.

As a side, you always want to see where you are against those teams up the top.

I'm not sure that we have had that test yet so tomorrow will be a good examination.

We'll then have another match on our hands against Folkestone at home on Tuesday. But, as is always the case with double headers, the sole focus is on Saturday.

The aim must be to get as much out of it as possible, whether one point or three.

We need to get at least a point from Tonbridge. We can't go there thinking we can pick up three on Tuesday and that will be OK. We did have some disappointing news that Dan Smith will be out for a while with injury.

But, we are not struggling for goals at the moment, as you can see with the 8-0 win against Burgess Hill.

I do not mean any disrespect to them at all. But they were poor and at the wrong end of the table.

Personally, I would much rather beat a top side 1-0 away with a gritty result than beat a team 8-0.

The real test is always when you have your backs against the wall at a hard place and you have to grind out a result.

On a personal level, though, I'm pleased to be getting a few goals myself.

I have no idea where the goals have come from.

I'm trying to get into the box a bit more this year and perhaps it's because I'm a bit fitter. But a lot of them have been tap ins and when that's the case it's about being in the right place at the right time.

Then, when you get half a yard, I just try and hit them hard towards the goal.

I should also wish the youth team good luck for Wednesday. I hope they do well and hope to see one or two come through and start challenging us for our places in the near future.
