More young people seek help

BY KEVIN SMITH kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk HOUSING problems are causing more younger people to turn to a help centre in Chichester An increasing number of those aged under 44 have sought assistance from the Citizens Advice.

Difficulties in obtaining a home or with a property landlord are one of the

main reasons they have asked for advice.

State benefits also feature highly in their requests. A limited number also want help with dealing with debts they feel have got out of control.

Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice chief executive Luca Badioli said: “I feel this is a good thing. We have been able to reach young people more than ever.

“We have new ways for them to contact us – like webchats, emails and social media. Perhaps because of

those changes, it’s easier for them to approach us using their computers and smartphones.

“The issues they ask us to help with tend to be one-off. They also do more research and preparation before they come to us because they are able to use computers.”

Figures given to the charity’s annual meeting on Wednesday, showed the proportion of those below 44 going along to Citizens Advice’s three centres

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk IN THE past two years, Chichester leisure centres have seen a rise in attendance by 43 per cent after an investment of over £1.7 million.

The increase of users, including a rise of over 50s and under 15s using the facilities has occurred since Chichester District Council transferred management to Everyone Active.

Three leisure centres in the district, Westgate Leisure Centre, in Chichester, The Grange Leisure Centre in Midhurst and Southbourne's Bourne Community Leisure Centre, are all under the new management following a detailed review in 2016.

The review considered the best way of managing the council's three sites and its sports development service while maintaining high quality services and protecting the service for years to come.

Over £1.7 million has been invested in the facilities and energy reduction solutions and improving the fitness options they can offer. This includes a larger studio, spin studio and extended gymnasium.

Cllr Eileen Lintill, cabinet member for communities at the district council,

said: “Since the management of our leisure centres and sports development team was transferred to Everyone Active in May, 2016, the leisure services have continued to go from strength to strength.

“What’s great is that we have developed a very strong partnership with Everyone Active. The council works very closely with the Everyone Active team and monitors the progress of the contract very carefully. The team also works very closely with other council services, including our health and wellbeing team."

As a council, we are very pleased with what has been achieved over the past two years and we look forward to the partnership building on this work over the coming years.”

All three centres have been accredited with a Quest Excellent rating for their facilities.

Quest is the Sport England recommended improvement tool"for leisure facilities and sports development teams, designed to measure how effective organisations are at providing customer service.

Everyone Active's contract manager, Stuart Mills said: "We are in the top 13 per cent in the country and all three sites have been ranked in the top 23.

Huge rise in users at leisure centres

NEW CHILDREN'S swings, practice equipment for a cricket club and better seafront facilities are just some of the projects that have been funded as part of a scheme overseen by Chichester District Council.

More than 35 projects have received a share of £250,000 which is part of the New Homes Bonus (Parish Allocations) Scheme. The council’s Grants Panel distributed the money to communities that have taken new homes over the two years.

Some of the projects that received funding included; • Oxmarket Gallery, Chichester: received £15,000 for gallery improvements.

• East Wittering and Bracklesham: £12,000 for improvements to the seafront open space including barbecue stands and a long bench).

• Hunston: £3,000 towards a new disabled toilet at Hunston Village Hall.

• Lavant: £3,989 for some new playground swings.

• Petworth: £1,940 for cricket club equipment.

• Selsey: £15,000 for playground improvements.

• Tangmere: £5,710 for some speed

indicator devices.

Money is awarded to projects that can demonstrate the impacts of development, aim to enhance the local area, and, benefit the whole community.

Cllr Eileen Lintill, cabinet member for community services at the district council, said: "We contacted parishes earlier this year to apply for funding and have been pleased with the wide variety of requests received.

Each project, no matter how large or small, will have a positive impact on residents in these communities.

"The Government recognises that more housing can result in extra pressures so it has passed this funding to local councils to help communities address their concerns.

"We have been keen to ensure that this money is protected for the benefit of those communities that have taken new development.

"The New Homes Bonus is an opportunity to invest in important facilities and activities that will support our local communities for years to come.”

Monty is barking mad about new campaign

Christmas ice rink could come to city

f Monty launches the campaign in Chichester

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk MONTY the dog is wagging his tail with excitement over a new campaign supported by his favourite newspaper.

The Mount Noddy mascot, a regular reader of The Chichester Post is calling on local children to help paint, hide and find special stones for the animal charity.

RSPCA Sussex Chichester and District branch, Mount Noddy is self-funded and relies on the generosity of those living in the Post area.

On Saturday, at the RSPCA Chichester shop in North Street Monty kicked off the

campaign by telling everyone about his idea.

He is asking children to paint 'bones' (stones) for him with a dog on, with the hash tag: #rspcamountnoddy and hide them around the local area.

Children will then be encouraged to find them, take a photo and re-hide them. This is to promote the dogs and children meeting Santa at the upcoming Christmas event.

Santa In A Camper is the annual event held at the branch in Eartham. Last year, the branch more than 550 people attending, and raised over ÂŁ4,800.

Business and income generation manager Clare Palmer said: "We are

doing these series of events starting at the Chichester shop, with a special Monty mission!

"We would love loads of kids to get involved over half-term and afterwards in the run-up to the annual Santa in a Camper event on December 1.

"There will be another special mission two weeks before the event where kids will have an opportunity to get free entry to see Santa at the event.

"All funds raised at the Christmas event will help our resident dogs and cats find new homes so we need loads of support to help with this."

Tangmere Tower ale is launched - See page five

AN ice rink could be coming to Chichester this winter.

At a planning committee meeting on Wednesday, councillors debated whether a temporary ice rink should come to Priory Park next month by weighing up the economic benefits against the impact on residents and the park.

The vote was tied with the chairman of the committee, Cllr Bob Hayes, making the casting vote in favour.

The consultation period does not expire until November 1 and so the item was added as a late item as plans are to run the rink from November 24.

The planning committee is not due to meet again until November 19 so members agreed to delegate the planning to officers in order to meet time-scales.

If no objection is received from Historic England or any significant material considerations raised, the plans would get the green light.

The application site lies within the south west corner of Priory Park and planning permission was sought for the temporary change of use of part of the park for the period of up to six weeks, to an ice rink with ancillary food and drink uses, including the installation and removal of ancillary temporary structures.

Being temporary in nature, the structures themselves do not require planning permission.

Chairman of Friends of Priory Park, Richard Plowman, said at the meeting: "Why didn't they submit this earlier?

December 25 every year. They knew about this for two years.

"I'm very worried about this. The covering of the grass will certainly cause damage and will probably result in the grass dying."

The ice rink would be operational from November 24, 2018, until January 6, 2019. However, works to provide the rink and ancillary structures would commence early-mid-November, 2018, and the rink dismantling would take place between January 7, 2019 until January 13, 2019.

The ice rink would be housed alongside a cafĂŠ and skate hire area within a marquee approximately 30m x 45m in size.

Residents from Priory Lane and Priory Road objected to the plans, mainly regarding noise. To the south of the marquee, there would be chiller units, a generator and other plant required to operate the ice rink.

Officers explained that the applicant had no issue in moving the generator further away from residents, to the eastern side of the marquee, to help reduce noise.

Cllr Tricia Tull supported the plans.

She said: "This is a very difficult decision. Oaklands Park is a possibility but they wouldn't then come into the town and boost the economy. I think in principle I am going to support this application, certainly as a one year trial."

Cllr Graeme Barrett said: "I think it's a good idea to have an ice rink in the area at Christmas time. However, the location is inappropriate."

From page one under 25 were comparable at 6.5 per cent following the earlier 6.9 per cent. The mid-range age of 45-54 also increased to one in five of the centres’ clients but the two older age groups both showed significant declines.

Overall, the centres and outreach services were busier than ever.

“Our total client numbers keep going up and up,” said Mr Badioli.

Among them were 1,030 clients who were either homeless, under repossession, eviction or subject to bailiff action. More than a third were experiencing difficulties in the private rented sector.

The total of clients who asked for charitable support and foodbank vouchers increased during the year from 139 in the first quarter to 213 in the final one to reach a total of 686.

Mr Bardioli made his first presentation to an annual meeting after he was appointed to his role at the start of this year.

Among the centre's successful schemes is the home visiting project.

This has been funded by a private individual for £20,000 a year for the past five years.

Five clients a week are being seen, who would otherwise be unable to seek advice. Cath Naylor, of the Citizens Advice projects team, said: “The benefit to the community is clear with an average benefit award of £4,166 per client per annum.

“The home visitor will also check if ancillary benefits such as a blue badge can be obtained which ensures improvement of quality of life.

“The project...has seen substantial increases every year. The service user’s mental health also improves because of the service we provide.”

Good neighbour receives award

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A CHICHESTER resident has been recognised at a national awards ceremony for always putting her neighbours first.

Jackie Trewin was nominated for a Good Neighbour Award for organising social activities and being there to lend a helping hand at the Living+ supported housing scheme where she lives.

Jackie has taken over running the social mornings where neighbours can come for a chat and to play games. She also takes other residents shopping or picks up their orders if they are unable to go themselves.

The annual awards event is hosted by property and leisure management, development and regeneration company, Places for People. The Good Neighbour Awards celebrate the commitment and positive impact that residents have on their local communities.

Jackie said: “I find it amazing that my neighbours have nominated me for this award. To know that people think so much of me is really humbling. I feel like I only do what anyone else in my position would and I honestly get a great deal of satisfaction from it.

“I’ve had so much help from other people through the years – I think they all deserve this award.”

Jackie was among 37 Places for People customers to receive a Good Neighbour

Award at a special lunch held in York.

Presenting the winners with their awards, David Cowans, group chief executive of Places for People, said: “It is always an honour to host the Good Neighbour Awards, which allow us to celebrate and say thank you for the extraordinary contributions and selfless acts of people living in our neighbourhoods.

“All of the nominees put forward are truly inspirational, dedicating their time and efforts to make a difference to their communities and neighbours' lives.

The fact that these individuals don’t realise what they do is special makes them all the more deserving of our appreciation. We are very fortunate to have such wonderful people living in our communities.”

f The play was a huge success

Selsey receive rights to produce the most famous play about war THE MOST famous play about the First World War came to Selsey Pavilion from October 4-9.

Robert Cedric Sherriff wrote the play, Journey's End during a holiday in Selsey and it was performed this month at the Pavilion some 90 years later.

In his autobiography, he said: "We had taken a bungalow close to the sea at Selsey Bill and I cut loose from everything in London to go down there and work in peace."

Set over the course of four days leading up to a massive German attack on the British trenches in March, 1918,

Journey’s End charts the tension and claustrophobia as the new recruit to the company, Lieutenant Raleigh discovers his childhood friend and hero, Captain Stanhope, has changed beyond recognition.

Director Gillian Plowman said: "Journey's End has all the ingredients to make it very successful dramatically.

"Although the jargon is now dated, the dialogue is easily understood and the message about sacrifice and comradeship is clear.

"There are nine men in the cast. The rehearsal process has been long. I am proud of these talented men."

Bottoms up as a new ale is launched to help the tower

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A NEW ale has been launched to help raise vital funds to restore the control tower at Tangmere.

The Save Tangmere Tower campaign was set up to restore the Second World War control tower on Tangmere airfield.

On Saturday, residents, Gillian Keegan MP, ale enthusiasts and campaign members gathered at The Hornet Alehouse in Chichester to officially launch the new beverage.

The campaign group have worked alongside Steyning-based Riverside Brewery to develop Tangmere Tower ale to help raise money for the tower’s restoration.

The drink is a golden ale made from only British hops, using similar ingredients available in the 1940s. The drink will be available in both firkins and bottles and is described as ‘flavoursome and crisp’.

Riverside became involved with the campaign over social media and Matt Gover-Wren, who started ‘Save Tangmere Tower’, was delighted to get them on-board.

He said: “We are over the moon to be releasing this novel product with Riverside Brewery. It’s fantastic to be working with them - they share our passion for saving history.

"It was a great day, we spoke to lots of people who support the campaign and I definitely recommend the ale! It’s so brilliant to have a product that people can buy into to help save history."

A proportion of sales from the ale with go to fundraising for the campaign, which aims to re-purpose the former control tower.

The control tower was part of RAF Tangmere which was a Royal Air Force station famous for its role in the Battle of Britain.

The tower was registered as a grade 2 listed building in 2011 and put on the ‘heritage at risk’ register in 2015.

At the launch, Gillian Keegan said: "I first met Matt within a week of getting elected. He was very good at finding me and asking straight away if I would help with this campaign.

"I thought it was a brilliant way of recognising this iconic place in our country's history that every time you go to the museum or read anything, you remember that Tangmere has played such an important part in the history.

"It is delicious and I am not a massive beer drinker. I think getting this campaign on the map helps to build something that we can all enjoy in the future, particularly with the new houses and new people coming to live in Tangmere.”

"Every time the people of Chichester drink a pint of this, they will know they will be helping the campaign."

THE WEATHER

Therapists train to provide special spa treatments at Goodwood Health Club THERAPISTS of The Waterbeach spa at the Goodwood Health Club have recently completed training to provide specialist oncology beauty treatments for those living with and beyond cancer.

Men and women affected by cancer can feel overlooked when it comes to treats, such as massages, facials and nail treatments. Yet cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy can leave skin dry, itchy, sore and irritated. They can also cause swollen, blistered hands and feet, lost or thin hair, and fragile or missing nails. Cancer treatments often also cause skin sensitivity, and many ingredients in cosmetics and skincare products can cause issues.

The specialist oncology massage, face and body treatments and skincare now offered at The Waterbeach may help to alleviate some of these symptoms, and will give those affected by cancer the chance to feel pampered, cared for

and confident that the therapist understands their needs. The Waterbeach will use a range of skincare and beauty products designed by renowned microbiologist Jennifer Young, specifically for those undergoing cancer.

Spa Co-ordinator Jen Phipps was very proud to attend the Oncology Spa training course at The Jennifer Young Training School. She said: “I was so pleased to be able to complete my specialist oncology therapy training with Jennifer Young.

I’m proud that we will be able to offer a positive, therapeutic experience to people going through a very difficult time. Whatever their stage of treatment or recovery, our clients will feel confident that we will take into account their particular concerns and needs when designing their treatments. We can provide a calm, relaxing atmosphere and a sensitive and understanding approach that we hope will really make a difference to their well-being.”To find out more visit: Goodwood.com or call: 01243 520156.

BELIEVE it or not, a change in the weather can affect the external doors in your property – front door, back door, patio door…

I haven’t personally looked at the exact facts or science – I am sure I can check it on Google somewhere – however from my days at school I understand that temperature affects how materials react and move.

Only a tiny shift in the way your door hangs can lead to problems in opening and closing your door and ultimately can lead to breaking keys and breaking locks. You won’t believe the number of calls we get when the weather changes at certain points of the year.

So if you notice that your door is sticking or rubbing more than normal then I recommend that you get it looked at before the problem gets worse.

Realigning a door is a relatively simple and inexpensive job however the consequences of a broken lock or key are clearly more painful, inconvenient and more expensive.

Maintaining your doors and locks is really important and not to be overlooked. So at this time of year spend a few minutes and make sure your doors are working well. And, if you are not sure get someone qualified to check them for you.

ANOTHER PRO TIP - while we are on the subject of door and lock maintenance PLEASE never use WD40 to lubricate your door or locks. WD40 is not a lubricant and will do nothing but cause more problems than it solves.

Therefore as the cold weather approaches, do look after your doors and locks and if you think there is a problem call a recommended and trusted locksmith.

Remembering the Selsey 57

DON'T MISS OUT!

f L-R: Marilyn Smith, lead researcher and Chris Butler

kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk AN EXHIBITION was held over the weekend in Selsey to remember the 557 men on Selsey’s War Memorial, who fell in the First World War and also those men who fought and returned.

The project, Selsey 57, is an intergenerational and collaborative project, led by Arts Dream Selsey, which promotes a range of artistic activities.

The men on Selsey's War Memorial came from all walks of life, from agricultural labourers to 'gentlemen', and their ages spanned nearly three decades from 16 to 44. As Selsey was primarily a fishing village, a significant number of men enlisted with the naval services and 11 of the men on the memorial died at sea in vessels ranging from yachts to battleships.

The Selsey 57 project also remembers those who returned. The men coming back to Selsey had their lives changed by their wartime experiences and a large number of them coped with mental and physical scars for the rest of their lives.

Many would have seen friends killed and some endured appalling conditions

in the trenches. Others were invalided out before the end of the war and at least one man was a prisoner of war. Several men were mentioned in despatches or awarded medals for particular acts of bravery.

Arts Dream Selsey was founded in October, 2012, as a voluntary arts organisation. It has been instrumental in running arts workshops, taster days, performance events and forums over the last year and has made huge strides in supporting the Selsey community.

Chris Butler, director at Arts Dream, said: "People attended the exhibition from London, Southampton, Windsor, Portsmouth, Worthing and, of course, Selsey.

"During the two days, more than 300 people visited, and examples of comments included: ‘Absolutely stunning research by the lead research Marilyn Smith. It all must be made into a book ‘ ‘Excellent exhibition.

Extremely interesting. Thanks to the organisers and Arts Dream for uncovering such amazing memories’.

"Special thanks must go to Selsey Town Council and Ferry Farm Community Fund for the Selsey 57."

THE RUNNING FESTIVAL took place on Sunday, and saw hundreds of runners, families, running clubs and communities take on three races at the Goodwood Motor Circuit.

A lot of club vests were seen in the running crowd and on the podium for both the 10K and the Half Marathon, including Chichester Runners & AC, Portsmouth Joggers, Bognor Regis Tone Zone Runners, Devizes Running Club, Victory AC, Tonbridge AC and Hercules Wimbledon AC. Runners were faced with challenging weather conditions, including some heavy downpours and head wind but it remained dry for the Family Mile, which kicked things off at 9am and saw runners as young as four complete a mile on the track and earn a medal.

The 10k took place at 10am and the Half Marathon set off at mid-day, giving each race its own individual send-off and finish experience.

Supporters had also turned out in good numbers despite the weather and

` Hospital Heroes A NEW hero was hailed for St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester when a remarkable member of staff was commended by colleagues at the trust’s staff recognition awards.

Disha Jani won the prestigious Hospital Hero prize at Western Sussex Hospitals’ Patient First STAR Awards at Fontwell Park.

Disha is an occupational therapy technician who also fulfils duties as a housekeeper and healthcare assistant.

Her mentor said: “I imagine Disha to have a wardrobe with an array of colourful Western Sussex uniforms and also a few superhero cloaks - all she has to do is decide where to use her super powers for good that day.”

Disha, who received a huge cheer from colleagues as her name was announced, said: “I did not expect this, but thank you for all the team, it is absolutely the whole hospital we do our best.”

Other winners from St Richard’s Hospital included Fundraiser of the Year superintendent physiotherapist Deborah Dykes, who rallied her team behind a £10,000 challenge to help critical care patients, and occupational therapy team leader Dee Humphris, who won Mentor of the Year.

The trust’s ninth Patient First STAR Awards were characterised by heartfelt nominations, humbled winners and joyous celebrations. Thanks to a record 630 nominations, this year’s awards were also the biggest yet, with around 250 colleagues attending the prize ceremony and dinner.

Sleeping out raises extra awareness for homeless

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CHICHESTER Cathedral became a home for many on Saturday evening for Stonepillow's Big Sleepout.

The annual event saw lots of people armed with cardboard boxes, sticky tape and scissors get creative to build themselves homes for the night.

Children, parents, community groups and councillors were out constructing shelters on the green behind the cathedral from 2pm.

Friends, Amy Spruhan, 19, from Worthing, and Madeline Gladwell, 19, from Petworth, travelled to the city for the event.

Madeline said: "It makes you think about what you do have. You get people who see homeless people and say it's their fault but it's not always the case.

Doing this event helps raise awareness for them.

"We have a base built, and we are creating layers. We will build it up and hope it makes it more sturdy."

Cllr Sarah Sharp, from Chichester City Council, was building a shelter with her son. She said: "I personally had a dry night after an emergency door repair in the middle of the night. The wind and the rain were kept off by the cardboard and I am under no illusion that the realities of rough sleeping in a doorway are a thousand times worse.

"The Stonepillow event is wonderful in that it captures the imagination and the cardboard creations raise awareness of the plight of the homeless in our city. The very location of the event - right in our city centre - rightly focuses the public's attention on the cardboard city that so many enthusiastic fundraisers build to shelter themselves from the wind and rain encountered overnight."

Bosham Youth Group were building a network of shelters with individual rooms and passageways.

Theo Lane, aged 12, from the group, said: "Everyone has a room each and you can pass things to each other through gaps or the passageway. There is a girls section and a boys section too."

Lauren Van Niekerk, group leader, said: "It's a great event for us to see the world outside of our own. We are all fortunate to have nice homes and

families. It definitely makes you think."

The city's Mayor, Cllr Martyn Bell, attended in the afternoon to wish people well and see how they were doing. He said: "This was a very well organised and very appropriate fund-raising event for Stonepillow. I was privileged to be one of the judges for the best overnight

cardboard structures competition, some of which were amazing.

"At the same time, I was able to meet those determined individuals who, to raise funds, would sleep out that night under cardboard and experience in a minor way how terrible it is to be homeless and have to ‘sleep-rough’."

f Shelters were created out of cardboard boxes

German celebrations at Priory Park as Oktoberfest flies in to the city

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk LEDERHOSEN and dirndl-clad guests arrived at Priory Park on Saturday to enjoy a festival of beer, pretzels, bratwurst and music.

The world famous Oktoberfest hit the city of Chichester with German beers in Steins, Oompah bands, pretzels and Bratwurst, a Bavarian-style beer hall and games and competitions.

Gwyn Homer, from Tidworth, went to join in the celebrations with some friends from Hayling Island.

She said: "I love Chichester and spent years here so it is nice to be back here.

I saw the event advertised online and thought it would be fun and it's not too far from Hayling Island either.

"I'm not a massive beer drinker but I am here for the music and ambience. My son has come down from the Midlands and friends from Hayling Island so it's going to be a good day."

Jason Thompson and Greg Davis, from Chichester, had a reunion with some friends from Epsom and Guildford to plan their next holiday.

Jason said: "We went to Oktoberfest last year in Guildford and it was great. We are big beer drinkers although normally ales rather than German beers!"

Greg added: "This is really an excuse for a planning meeting for our next boys trip away!"

Draught beers included Lowenbrau, which is a brewery in Munich, owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev. Its name means "lion's brew" in German.

Also on offer was Spaten and The Oktoberfest larger. The latter is a true celebration of Bavarian brewing, pouring a clear golden yellow with a tall white head. Well carbonated, this beer boasts a bready, slightly herbaceous nose with a subtle sweet-malt undertone. A biscuity flavour with some soft spices, herbs and citrus. And, of course, that classic light, crisp finish associated with the style.

Jess Winkworth, from Chichester, visited with her two friends, James Barratt and Ed Habbitts.

Jess said: "We booked our tickets for here about a month ago. We checked online and saw they were starting to sell so thought we better work out if we want to do it or not and then book them quick!

"There is a really good vibe here. It's

good fun and it's a really great thing for Chichester."

James added: "We went to the gin festival in Portsmouth and loved it so thought we would come along here today. We love beer and trying different craft beers.

"We have never been to the Oktoberfest in Germany before so this is a warm-up.

It's a build up to the one in Munich!"

There were also bottled beers on offer, including Estrella and spirits and wine was also available.

Rosie Joyce, production manager, said: "The Oktoberfest in Priory Park was a great success, with 1,200 guests joining us for a 'lederhosen and all' Bavarianstyle Oktoberfest.

"The beer hall was full of joy and it had great atmosphere. The highlight of the day had to be the front man of the Jäger Maestros (Oompah band), dressed head to toe in a blue and white suit, blond wig and German accent to boot, getting the crowds to yodel along with him - he started a conga line through the marquee to which the traditional Oompah band accompanied. All in all, it was a great day, enjoyed by all."

Harvest, hops and horseracing

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk RACEGOERS braved the bad weather on Sunday to see out the final fixture for 2018 and the Goodwood racecourse.

There were 9,430 visitors to the picturesque racing venue battling wind and rain to enjoy an autumn theme.

With a traditional hog roast, fire pits for toasting marshmallows, craft beers and fiddle trio provided off-course entertainment.

Before the NetBet.co.uk Alderbrook Stakes for professional jump jockeys, which was won by Nick Schofield aboard Jam Session, Goodwood’s Ron Atkins presented a cheque for over £1,300 to the Injured Jockeys Fund, with money raised from the sale of ties through the season.

The most impressive performance of the afternoon undoubtedly came from Chairmanoftheboard, who won the NetBet EBF Novice Auction Stakes by eight lengths under Charlie Bishop.

In a post-race interview with Racing UK, his trainer, Mick Channon, said he had not trained a horse as good since his 2003 Royal Ascot winner Zafeen.

Jockeys Oisin Murphy and Adam Kirby both rode doubles on the day, while the biggest priced winner was The Pink’N, who sprang a 33-1 surprise in the NetBet British EBF Novice Stakes.

Andy Hepworth, director of Hepworth & Co Brewers Ltd, gave talks about how he brews craft beers and ales, including Goodwood’s own new range and how they use barley from Goodwood in the recipes for some of their drinks.

Reflecting on the season, general manager Alex Eade said: "It has been a fantastic year here at Goodwood and,

for the most part, we were blessed with superb weather and a great atmosphere.

"The Qatar Goodwood Festival was one that will live long in the memory, with star performances from the likes of Battaash, Stradivarius and Lightning Spear. Outside of ‘Glorious’, the racing has been consistently competitive and the season finale was an example of that, with 75 runners compared with 57 last year.

"The improvements that we have made around the grandstands, including our fabulous new champagne bar, have all been extremely well received and we greatly look forward to making further

Invitation to have a ball for charity AN INVITATION has been issued to go dancing in Bognor Regis for good causes.

Leisureplex Hotels has applied for permission to create another 11 rooms at the Royal Norfolk Hotel.

The company wants listed building consent from Arun District Council to carry out internal alterations to create the extra space.

A statement by the firm's planning agent, Steve Farrell, says: "The hotel is a very popular destination for the customers of Leisureplex and there is a desire to increase the bedroom provision, which currently stands at 68 following a similar conversion project in 2017/18."

It is hoped to carry out the work early next year.

The seafront hotel is a Grade IIlisted building dating from 18300.

Nik Demetriades, chief executive of 4Sight Vision Support, said he was looking forward to the occasion.

"It's going to be an amazing night wonderful live music, dancing 'all night long', great food and all for good causes that make such a difference to people's lives in Bognor Regis, Arun and West Sussex," he said.

"What a perfect way for members of our local community to come together, have some fun and show their support for each other."

There are tickets for tables and food and standing tickets, which do not include food.

Rox Music and Arts' joint founder Steve Goodheart said: "This has all the makings of a wonderful gig, with a mix of styles being performed by outstanding first class players from the south, with an evening of collaboration from some of the community's hardest working sectors - most of which don't get enough recognition."

Air Cadets hit heights on expedition to Peru TWO AIR Cadets from Chichester travelled thousands of miles for a once in a lifetime journey.

Cadet Sergeant Elyot Harmston and Cadet Corporal Jonty Parkin, both aged 16, were part of a selected group of 24 Air Cadets from around the county.

During their three-week expedition to Peru, they helped to construct a new building at an orphanage called Azul Wazi - translated as The Blue House.

Their reward for such hard work was a 75km expedition at heights of more than 4,500 metres during five days along the Salkantay trail to reach the famous remains at Machu Picchu.

The Incan citadel is situated in the Andes Mountains. It was built in the 15th century and later abandoned. Its exact use remains a mystery.

The unique part of the trip was the fact the cadets ran the entire expedition. Staff supported them in decision-making if their help was needed.

Cadet Sgt Harmston and Cadet Cpl Parkin had to be selected for the expedition and earned a place only after a gruelling selection process.

Once they had been chosen, they took part in military leadership training as well as training from the Edale Mountain Rescue Team in the Peak District.

Many of the cadets raised funds to go on the journey of 6,000 miles to South America. One even arranged crowd funding for new clothing and musical instruments to be bought for the 19

orphans who live at Azul Wasi.

Reflecting on the experience, Cadet Sgt Harmston, pictured near left, said: "Working on the orphanage had a big impact. I have done construction work like this before and it was interesting to see the different building methods.

"However, seeing what a huge impact our work would make to the orphans and orphanage was really eye opening for me."

Among the staff on the pair's journey was one of the officers from their squadron.

Flying Officer Richard Foster said it had been a privilege to be involved in giving them the opportunity to take part in such an experience.

"To see how they overcame various obstacles and challenges, and to help them to cope with them, was really rewarding and it was a privilege to be a part of their journey," he said.

"I was lucky to have taken part in a similiar trip at their age, and it changed and shaped my life for the better. I hope it does the same for them."

Chichester Air Cadets is recruiting 12-17-year-olds in the area.

Overseas expeditions are one of the many activities that the cadets can take part in, including the Duke of Edinburgh's bronze, silver and gold medals, visiting RAF stations and adventure training.

Contact 461@aircadets.org for details of the next open evening.

Graceful We are an independent, family run nursery and garden centre with the emphasis on and a passion for plants.

Our ranges include shrubs, fruit, climbers, roses, trees, herbaceous perennials, conifers, ferns, grasses and bamboos but we also seasonally sell things like herbs, bedding plants, vegetables, alpines and Christmas trees. Please come along to The Nursery to see for yourself our high quality plants.

Winter Grasses

We work constantly to increase our plant ranges and have many new introductions to offer alongside the tried and tested old favourites. A large percentage of the plants we sell are grown here at The Nursery; If we had more room we'd grow more but we just can't squeeze them in! The rest of the stock is bought in from other carefully selected, reputable growers with the vast majority of the bedding being produced by local growers.

It's not all plants though, we offer pots, compost and plant related sundries such as fertilisers and pesticides, not to mention a range of wildlife products to help out our furred and feathered friends.

Ornamental grasses can be used to great effect in the garden and are perfect plants for containers. They can provide a calming effect or a more dynamic focus to specific areas of your outdoor living space.

Growing grasses in pots combines the beauty and versatility of ornamental plants with the freedom of container gardening, which means you can move them around according to the seasons or personal preference. Most ornamental grasses adapt really well to container

culture and some are actually easier and more practical to grow in pots as it keeps them under control.

Use loam-based compost such as John Innes No 2 with 20 percent loam-free compost to lighten the mix. Select good-sized pots to suit maturing plants, and remember to feed and water and to pot the plants into bigger pots when their roots have filled the pot. They do not need much feeding though, one application of a balanced fertiliser in spring is adequate. The up-side of ornamental grasses is that they are relatively low maintenance and generally

suffer from few problems if they are kept in the right part of your garden for their needs – light, shady, partial shade.

Some of the most popular varieties include ...

Carex, a tuft forming evergreen perennial that is very tough and contemporary and look good all winter. Try Carex ‘Milk Chocolate’ - a richly coloured variety that slowly forms a dense mound. It has dark purple and brown slender foliage with delicate pink edges that turn into autumnal shades of orange and brown as winter approaches, growing to a height of 60cm.

Stipa tenuissima, also known as Mexican Feathergrass, is hardy and fast growing producing a frothing cascade of yellow flowers. An elegant grass with fine, gently arching leaves. Feathery plumes of flowers emerge from June to September and mature to a soft golden brown in winter. It can grow up to 100cm.

Festuca glauca is a tufted evergreen grass forming a tactile mound of thin blue-green leaves.. Summertime brings buff coloured feathery flower stems that rise above the foliage and move gently in the breeze. A really versatile plant that reaches a height of around 40cm and adds year round colour and texture to any container garden.

If pots and containers are just part of your outside space then here are some gardening tips for this month from the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) • Plant autumn colour • Create a bird feeding area • Move tender plants inside or into a greenhouse to protect against frost, or fleece • Harvest autumn vegetables • Collect falling leaves • Plant spring flowering bulbs • Prune tall growing roses • Dead head all faded flower heads and remove any parts of plants that have died back

Celebrations on cycle route CYCLISTS will be staging special rides this weekend along the recently opened A259 route from Flansham to Climping.

Bognor Cycle Forum members are holding the events on Sunday to celebrate the route which bridges a major gap in safer cycling along the West Sussex coast.

The organised rides will start from near the cycle racks at the Hotham Park cafe in Bognor Regis at 9.30am, 10.15am and 11am and from the Bognor Regis side of the Littlehampton footbridge at 10am and 11.15am.

The easy rides have been designed by the forum, Cycle Bognor and the University of the Third Age (U3A) for those new to organised rides. They will take cyclists on quiet roads and paths to join the cycleway.

Cyclists can join return journeys or pedal their own way home.

The rides could take up an hour in each direction with a brief stop at the new rest area close to Comet's Corner and provided by the cycleway's builder, Jacksons.

Forum member Dave Barton said: "We want

to create an opportunity for local residents to fully enjoy this new path and appreciate the better cycling links between the two towns.

"The previous safe route through Yapton was considerably longer and indirect. We hope the various cafes and pubs along and close to this route will benefit from the emerging cycle trade."

As reported, the ÂŁ2m cycleway was officially opened by West Sussex County Council in August. But the finishing touches were still being put on its 4.5km route.

Members of the cycle forum will be at the rest area to meet anyone cycling through on Sunday morning.

Dr Bike will help with minor servicing of bikes. Representatives of national cycling charities, Sustrans and Cycling UK, will also be present.

The U3A's Chris Cooper said: "We have three active local cycling groups who are already benefiting from this cycleway. We look forward to welcoming new residents to our mature cycling community.

` Bus views sought PASSENGERS on several bus services around Chichester and Bognor Regis have been asked for their opinions.

West Sussex County Council wants to know how they will be affected by any changes to the routes which it supports.

The services include Stagecoach 46 and 47 around Chichester and the 56 to Old Bosham.

They also feature the numbers 66/66A from Bognor Regis to Walberton, 67 around Bognor Regis, 71 Chichester to Storrington, 85/85A Chichester to Arundel and 99 between Chichester and Petworth.

More than 50 routes across the county are coming under scrutiny from the council. Its cabinet member for highways and infrastructure, Cllr Roger Elkins, said the latest survey followed a successful consultation which attracted thousands of responses.

"Now we would like to know more about how people use our supported bus routes," he said.

The review does not affect routes such as the 600 and 700 which are run without a subsidy.

The survey is online at: westsussex.gov. uk/buses or phone 01243 642105 for other formats until November 18.

Choir on song for its concerts in Poland f Nick Gibb with the library manager, Pam O'Brien

MP views town's library in action LIFE at Bognor Regis Library has been seen by the town's MP. Nick Gibb took the chance to meet the library's manager, Pam O'Brien, for a tour of the London Road facility.

His visit took place during last week's national libraries week.

As well as meeting staff and seeing the public part of the library, he also saw work that goes on behind the scenes and first floor meeting rooms which are available to hire.

Mr Gibb, Conservative MP for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, said: "It was a pleasuree to meet the manager and staff of our first class

SINGERS from Bognor Regis received a standing ovation at a European event.

The town's RAF Association branch choir performed two concerts in Poland.

Four other choirs - from Slovakia, Italy, Romania and Russia - also took part.

The first performance was in the ornate and beautiful setting of St Peter and St Paul in Krakow's old city.

Each choir was asked to sing two songs that represented religion. For the RAFA choir, they were the German 15th or 16th century song Kyrie Eleison and Steal Away, a gospel song by Stroman and Scott.

local library.

"Its recent refurbishment means it is an even more welcoming place, encouraging all of us to read and enjoy books. Bognor Regis Library also hosts visiting authors and book clubs."

The library is open six days a week.

It has 40,000 books on its shelves and lends 200,000 books each year.

There are 17,000 members of the library and 118,000 visits from them each year.

In addition to books, the library has 13 publicly available computers, a toy library for lending toys and it also lends DVDs and CDs.

Sue Coyne, the choir's co-ordinator, said: "All five choirs sounded very different and the acoustics were amazing."

The choir's next performance was open to the public at the Museum Sztuki i Techniki Japonskiej Manggha.

"Each choir had the opportunity to perform their own repertoire during a 30-minute performance, " said Sue. "We performed popular songs that everyone knew and the audience, including the other choirs, all joined in.

It was so well received we got a standing ovation.

"This was a great opportunity to hear choirs from other parts of the world and a privilege to represent the RAF Association at an international event like this.

"The choir is looking forward to travelling to another country in the not too distant future."

The next public performance for the choir will be at Four Choirs in Concert from 3pm-5.30pm on November 17 at Aldwick Baptist Church in Gossamer Lane.

The concert is being organised by the choir. It will feature a variety of music sung in different ways by the choirs.

IN Puzzle, Agnes (Kelly Macdonald, who found her feet in Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting), is an apparently ordinary Connecticut mum, on the road to middle-aged underfulfilment. Her family mostly ignore her, take her for granted.

An awakening happens when, in no time, she completes a 1,000-piece puzzle she received for her birthday. Venturing into New York to buy another, she encounters an eccentric millionaire and, yes, gets drawn into the world of competitive jigsaw solving. They sign up in for “the Nationals” but can she tell the family the truth?

This gem is joined by Apha, in which a boy and wolf bond, a raw-boned survival movie told on an epic visual scale.

We follow Keda alone in the wilderness in this gripping tale of survival and natural kinship. Shot beautifully in British Columbia, it is set in the Ice Age. In contrast comes Climax, the latest from French enfant terrible Gaspar Noë, which revolves around a dance party that descends into hellishness while in Anchor and Hope, two women want a child somewhat unequally in this honest and compelling waterway film starring two Chaplins, Geraldine and Oona. Is it possible to live and love family in different ways yet remain united?

watches as his beloved older brother is gunned down during a peaceful neighbourhood party. Taken under the wing of local hood King Fox, D becomes a runner and mule for the gangland boss, and sent to London, jumping from the frying pan to the fire.

Don’t miss Faces, Places, an affectionate and sometimes whimsical odyssey with a deceptively sharp political edge.

Health & Wellbeing

by Denise Kelly

Managing diabetes with a new lifestyle DIABETES is a hard train to stop, but do not treat it as impossible. As many as half the people in the world are potentially genetically predisposed to develop type 2 diabetes, however, you don’t have to be a victim of your genes and your body will respond to what you give it. That old saying ‘you are what you eat’ is so true.

Many studies have shown that if you’re overweight or obese, losing weight, even as little as five per cent of your body weight can dramatically improve your insulin sensitivity and help to keep your blood sugar under control. In one recent British clinical trial, people with type 2 diabetes followed a very strict diet for two months.

They ate low-carb veggies and no-calorie beverages to keep daily calories under 700.

The average weight loss was about 30 pounds.

Nearly half of them had a remission of their disease, meaning, no more diabetes at that time. In this study, remission lasted even after participants had switched to a normal, healthy diet for the remaining six months of

the study.

In fact, three of those who went into remission had had diabetes for more than eight years. Those who maintained their weight loss were most likely to also have maintained their remission. It’s a short-term study, but it shows what may be possible, even avoiding health complications by controlling your blood sugar levels through lifestyle, medication or both.

Everyone can help themselves do something about weight management and levels of daily physical activity. This will go a long way towards preventing or at least delaying the progression of the disease. Aerobic exercise helps your body use insulin better and the recommended amount is 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise per day.

In simple terms, you should be exercising hard enough to be able to talk but not sing. If you can do at least five days a week you are going to notice a difference in how you feel.

This should not just be advice for people with

The bottom line is that even if you don’t reverse your diabetes, these healthy lifestyle changes can help you avoid the many complications of the disease.

diabetes, it should be for everyone.

A sedentary lifestyle is a dangerous path to choose when it comes to great health and energy. Don't forget the strength training too as it is important for your bones and muscles.

The less you exercise, the more your muscles weaken, and the harder it will be when you finally decide to start!

The bottom line is that even if you don’t reverse your diabetes, these healthy lifestyle changes can help you avoid the many complications of the disease. And if you are successful and can go off diabetes medications, then a big congratulations to you! You’ll want to keep up that good work for the rest of your long, healthier life so as not to slip back down that slippery slope.

One question I get asked all the time is can I eat fruit if I have diabetes? Some fruits do, indeed, have a high sugar content, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up this healthy habit. Fruits are low in fat and rich in phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and fibre—and in moderation (two or three servings daily), they can be safely consumed by people with diabetes. One general way to choose fruits is by using the glycemic index, which measures how a food increases blood sugar (the lower the number, the less likely a food is to spike blood sugar). Choose lowto-mid-GI fruits such as cherries (22), plums (24), grapefruit (25) and bananas (47). A high-GI fruit is anything over 60, such as watermelon (72) and raisins (64), and should be limited you have diabetes.

However, even with higher-GI fruit, eating it along with other foods also can prevent a spike in blood sugar. Combining fruit with low-GI foods, such as a slice of whole-grain bread or oats, may prevent the blood sugar spike that comes with eating a high-GI fruit.

Be careful, too, with your serving size. Onehalf cup of most fruits counts as one serving.

Whats the difference between type 1 and type 2?

Type 1 diabetes, also called latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), is

Lifestyle 27

a slow-progressing form of autoimmune diabetes. With this disorder, the body’s own immune system destroys the insulinproducing cells of the pancreas. As a result, the body does not produce enough of the hormone insulin to control blood sugar levels.

Type 2 diabetes is characterised by insulin resistance—the body responds to insulin inefficiently and fails to keep blood sugar at a normal level. The vast majority of people with diabetes have type 2.

A person who shows attributes of both type 1 and type 2 is said to have type 1.5 diabetes.

What initially appeared to be type 2 diabetes, because the pancreas is still able to produce a small amount of insulin, is actually slowly evolving type 1 diabetes.

Type 1.5 diabetes typically shows up at an older age, over age 30, than when type 1 diabetes is diagnosed. Type 1.5 is diagnosed through a blood test for antibodies.

My first recommendation is to realise that any supplement (or drug) should be used in addition to dietary and lifestyle strategies to improve blood sugar control. Foremost is eating a diet that has a low glycemic content which means that it is low in carbohydrate sources that can raise blood sugar levels.

Foods low in glycemic load include most fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, beans and whole grains. No drug or dietary supplement is going to be effective in the long run unless it is part of a plan that includes a low-glycemicload diet and a truck load of exercise. If you want to stay fit and healthy, your lifestyle choices are very important.

French wine was on top of that from Down Under Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys martin.lury@me.com EVERY little bit helps, apparently, so off to Tesco’s I did go and decided to look at price differentials to see whether a few extra pounds expended pay the appropriate dividend taste wise.

I opted to examine the merits of three whites and three reds with a Prosecco thrown in for good measure!

Commencing with whites, I homed in on a curiously inexpensive Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in the form of a 2017 Wairau Cove Sauvignon Blanc currently on offer for a mere £6.

Two facts came to mind, namely that New Zealand wines are not known for discounting heavily and, furthermore, New Zealand wines generally command a higher average bottle price than any other country’s wine and are thus a trusted brand.

The Wairau Cove wine has a strong elderflower taste with punchy grapefruit on the palate, but no discernible fresh zing and a tad watery, à mon avis!

I now felt the need to investigate further this wine with one clue being in the wine’s name - Wairau Cove is neither a winery or a place, but even more significant was a cursory glance at the back of the bottle enabling me

to ascertain that this wine had been imported and bottled in the UK. The detective in me has to conclude that this all smacks of bulk wine - wine sold off in liquid mass by co-operatives and wineries which do not wish to bottle it themselves.

Inferior fruit, one might surmise, so I am going to stick to The Ned, Sacred Hill, Oyster Bay and Villa Maria for my New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc!

For just an outlay of a further 50 pence, the 2017 Tesco finest Côtes De Gascogne beckoned as the south-west of France is a slightly underrated wine region.

Cooking apple and lemon character, a touch of lime and notes of wild herbs with hints of stone fruits on the finish, this wine is perfectly palatable and good value.

My final white wine selection for the lofty sum of £9 was a 2017 La Burgondie Bourgogne Aligoté - historically, this ancient Burgundian variety was used almost exclusively for making Kir. These days, it is more mainstream and the limestone and marl soils give the wine an attractive mineral edge.

An unoaked wine with fruity acidity and a saline finish which pairs delightfully with seafood or oysters and any white meats, but truly divine with Crottin de Chavignol!

A Burgundian pleasure without breaking the bank - one well worth a punt! And now for my Prosecco choice, the Plaza Centro Prosecco currently on offer for just six readies!

Very pale in colour and sporting fine bubbles, this sparkler has green apple and pear aromas and is dry and crisp with light apple and lemon zest

flavours.

Refreshing, great value for money and undoubtedly a great apéritif, this little number is eminently quaffable and one which fully merits your consideration My three red choices involve two Malbecs and one Rioja Reserva. For just £6.50, I was able to procure a 2015 Anakena Enco Reserva Malbec from Chile's Valle Central. Black fruit and plums abound with hints of pepper and dark chocolate and this wine is worth a go at this price!

I next turned to a 2015 Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec, more of a Rolls Royce compared to usual Trivento wines

available here and on offer for £12.

Eh bien, the extra money expended on this gem is money truly well spent!

Complex, powerful and fruit forward with dark chocolate on the nose, a mélange of plum, black cherry, mocha and leather with plush tannins and a velvety finish, this wine benefits from aerating or decanting in order to open up fully.

Silky smooth with juicy black fruit and hints of liquorice, it is reminiscent of a classy Catena Malbec and one which would perfectly accompany either lasagne or steak - a full-bodied wine to

savour!

My final red selection was that of a Tesco finest 2014 Viña Del Cura Rioja Reserva on offer at £8.50, sporting blackberry pie on the nose, vanilla notes and oaky lightish tannins with pepper and spice on the aftertaste and one to pair with either lamb or beef.

A good medium-bodied wine justifying its price tag!

Conclusion - sometimes you get what you pay for and maybe that extra pecuniary outlay is generally worthwhile - more wine for your buck given the tax situation - happy imbibing!

Community News & Views A TRIO of recently retired opera singers brought their experience to help Bognor Regis Rotary Club raise funds.

The appearance of Glenys Groves - soprano, Michael Lessiter - bass baritone and Scilla Stewart - pianist and mezzo soprano, pictured below, entertained the rapt near capacity audience with a selection of songs from the shows.

Spring is Here, Ruddigore, Porgy & Bess, South Pacific and Brigadoon were among their repertoire. Numerous composers were also featured, such as Rodgers, Mozart, Sullivan, Novello and Gershwin.

A section devoted to the end of the First World War engaged the audience in a journey down memory lane. Some short, but amusing, songs included a more recent version of Maud, to gave the audience an opportunity to endulge themselves in a slice of slapstick comedy.

The outcome of the memorable night, held in the hall of the Regis School of Music in Sudley Road, Bognor Regis, last Saturday saw more than £700 raised for the Rotarians' community work.

The artistes each have impressive careers. All were members of the Royal Opera House in London and have performed with the world's leading opera singers.

Names that appear on their CVS include Dame Joan Sutherland, Pavarotti and Marilyn Horne.

They have toured with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, Dublin Grand Opera Company and Netherlands Opera.

Each of the singers introduced themselves and gave a descriptive and, sometimes, amusing resumes of the music they were singing.

Rotary club press officer Peter Stemp said: "There were the smiles on the faces of the audience as they left and comments like why more nights like this did not take place."

The artistes and a trustee of the school of music, Sasha Levtov, waived their usual charges to support the Rotary club.

WATER-BASED sports across coastal West Sussex are to benefit from a £170,000 grant.

The money has been awarded to boost businesses for sports such as sailing, kayaking and kitesurfing to enable them to grow, flourish and create jobs.

The grant is towards a £340,000 project to position the West Sussex coast as an active hub for them.

It has been awarded to the Coastal West Sussex Partnership from the government's coastal communities fund and will pay for a much-needed marketing campaign to promote water sports in the region.

This is intended to grow the market, attract more visitors and extend the visitor season as well as the length of stay for visitors.

Caroline Wood, a director of the partnership, said: "We're over the moon to have been awarded this grant. We want to work with all relevant businesses to help put the West Sussex coast on the water sports map.

"We have an incredible variety of water sports locally, from diving in Littlehampton to kayaking in Pagham to kitesurfing in Goring Gap. "Our stunning coastline has plenty to offer both seasoned athletes and total beginners alike and many of the businesses also cater to families."

All water sports businesses along the coast in West Sussex have the chance to be involved in the campaign.

Four times British champion kite surfer and Worthing resident Lewis Crathern said: "I'm extremely happy that the West Sussex area has received this grant.

"Having grown up here by the coast, I have seen water sports develop at a rapid pace and I am proud to call it my base for my profession of kitesurfing.

"I look forward to this collaboration and to further spreading the message that our area is world class location for water sports."

Sir, I am researching for a book I am writing about self-catering holidays over the past 60 years.

I found a photo of Pagham Beach in the 1930s and discovered it was of railway carriages converted into holiday lets.

I would like to appeal through your newspaper for information about these great places.

I need to know what facilities one found inside, such as toilets, kitchens, and bedrooms.

If any of your readers have any interior photos, that would be magnificent. I cannot actually come to Sussex as I live in The Forest of Dean, so remote research is all I can do!

Jenny Care 7 Norchard Gardens Whitecroft Glos GL15 4UD LEGENDARY pianist Derek Ambler will be playing a special charity concert at Bognor Regis Music Club.

Proceeds from his performance at 7pm tomorrow in the club's concert room at 2 Sudley Road will go to The Amber Trust. This helps blind and partially sighted children across the UK who have a talent or love for music.

Derek has been making music since he was two. He shot to fame at the age of nine when he played jazz with the Royal Philharmonic Pops Orchestra at the Barbican Centre in London.

Numerous national and regional TV appearances followed in the UK and overseas. In the past few years, Derek featured in the series, Extraordinary People, on Channel 5 and on BBC1, BBC2 and ITV. He has also given concerts across England, Europe and the USA. Chris Coote, the club's press officer, said: "There is no doubt that Derek is one of the

CIVIC dignitaries in West Sussex have spoken of their delight the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their first baby next spring.

The announcement on Monday came less than two weeks after the royal couple made their initial visit to Chichester, pictured above, and Bognor Regis.

Susan Pyper, the LordLieutenant of West Sussex, said: "This is wonderful,

most extraordinary pianists and musical entertainers of his generation.

"Yet he is blind, autistic and has severe learning difficulties. Dubbed 'The Human iPod' in the USA, Derek has a repertoire of tens of thousands of pieces."

Derek will play a selection of light classical music, jazz and songs from the musicals.

Members of the audience will also be able to ask him for requests.

"We are privileged to welcome Derek to our club and are looking forward to an amazing evening's entertainment in support of such a worthwhile charity," said Chris.

Also performing will be Poppy McGhee, pictured above, a 14-year-old local girl who is a pupil at Marlborough College.

She began her musical journey aged five and has achieved top qualifications.

She will include pieces

by Gluck, Khachaturian, Prokofiev, Kreisler and Piazzolla.

"On behalf of everyone in West Sussex, it gives me great pleasure to send warmest and most sincere congratulations to the Duke and Duchess at this time of great happiness for them both.

West Sussex County Council chairman Cllr Lionel Barnard said: "We thank them for coming to West Sussex and wish them every happiness with their first born.”

Sir, Sorry to be thick here, but could someone please explain why it is that we should be delighted by the thought of 1,400 new jobs being generated by the Southern Gateway re-development, pictured below, most of which (despite Cllr Dignum’s faith in them being ‘highly paid’ will surely be the same-old hospitality jobs that can’t be filled elsewhere in town, given that the plans emphasise new pubs, bars and cafes for the area)?

How does this fit in with the comments made by the owner of Opus Loco in the same edition of the Post that her recruitment business is under threat due to the acute shortage of applicants?

Even if every adult in the 365 proposed new homes takes one of the jobs, this will still leave a shortfall of almost 700 people, most of whom, if they are available at all, will doubtless drive to work, get caught in the endless jams along the A27 and the Stockbridge Road and find nowhere in which to park when they get there.

Or is it more about Cllr Dignum’s quest to achieve the holy grail of endless ‘economic development’ by planning to strip the area of every inch of open space in order to build more housing?

Photos document history at the camera club

By Amy Roberts, collections officer and Portia Tremlett, museum assistant at the Novium Museum THE CHICHESTER Photographic Society was formed in 1893. A very active and sociable group whose members met once a week, the society organised regular lectures, learning about new photographic techniques and equipment.

The group also went on regular excursions, visiting places such as Midhurst, Hunston and Arundel. The excursions did not always prove popular, however, as the society’s annual reports suggest, regularly acknowledging poor attendance and encouraging members to be more involved.

Annual competitions, as well as regular monthly competitions, were held. Categories for entries in the early period included Seascapes and Landscapes, Architecture, and Lantern Slides.

Some of the members of the society included

prominent and well-known characters within the city including George Michael Turnbull.

Turnbull had become a member of the club by as early as 1896, if not before. His membership continued until at least 1939, when he would have been around 85 years of age. He was alderman of the city and mayor from 1909 to 1912 and again in 1919.

In 1917 the effects of the First World War seem to have been felt by the society, who seem to have taken a hiatus between March, 1917 and March, 1922. In 1922 the society posted a notice in the local paper inviting both ‘LADIES AND GENTLEMEN’ to attend a meeting at the Technical Institute, North Street, to make arrangements to recommence proceedings.

The group resumed with revived enthusiasm, continuing to hold weekly meetings, regular

excursions and lectures. By this time the society had added additional competitions, including the excursion competition – a prize to be given for the best picture taken on each outing.

The monthly competition categories had by this time changed, too, Class A becoming for pictures of any size or subject while Class B was for pictures of any size or subject, but was only open to lady members.

In 1928 the society secured a room of their own at Flint House, South Street. Here, they held an exhibition of old photographs taken by both former and current members.

In the 1930s, the society was flourishing and competitions improved in both the quality and the quantity of entries. A new class of competitions was added, Class C – Enlargements and the remainder of the categories changed. Class A was for those who had already won prizes, while Class B was only open to newcomers.

1938 saw an innovation in the way that competitions were judged. Up until this time entries had been judged by fellow members, however, this changed and after votes had been cast by members, entries was passed to an external expert judge for the final decision.

The Second World War again seemed to have an impact on the society, which only appears to have met on an annual basis from 1940 to 1942. Although the committee was in favour of undertaking excursions, it seems the society was hampered by wartime fuel

rations. In 1945, questions were raised as to whether the group should continue to rent the room, and it was decided that notice be given to vacate and put the society’s possessions into store.

Chichester was without a photographic society until 1949 when the Chichester Camera Club was formed. In the early days of the club, fortnightly meetings were held at the Methodist Hall in the Hornet. The club’s first exhibition was held at the Assembly Rooms in 1950. This year also saw the first Regnum Competition.

The Chichester and Bognor Regis camera Clubs staged a print battle between themselves, the winners receiving a shield donated by Charles Howard.

This competition marked the beginning of the Regnum Crouch Group. Today, it is a group that encourages friendly competition between different photography clubs in West Sussex.

Since the 1950s, the Chichester Camera Club has thrived and is now recognised as one of the most successful camera clubs in the country with a reputation for the excellent photography its members create. The club remains as active and social as in its very early days with a lively programme of visiting speakers, competitions and social events.

To celebrate the 125 years of the Chichester Camera Club, there will be an exhibition at the Novium Museum from November 24, 2018, to March 10, 2019.

Sport 37

Youngsters all smiles after dozens PostSport try out tag rugby for the first time THE FUTURE of rugby looks bright on the south coast as dozens of youngsters had their first competitive taste of the sport in friendly surroundings.

The West Sussex West School Sport Partnership (WSW SSP) was behind two high quality tag rugby festivals which saw 120 children take part. The first event took place at Bognor Rugby Club for Year 3 and Year 4 pupils. The second was at Chichester Rugby Club for Years 5 and 6.

Both events were very well attended and involved mixed school groups having an hour of skills and drills led by Year 8 and 9 sports leaders from The Regis School.

The sessions had only two goals - having fun and improving tag rugby ability. Both goals were achieved with flying colours.

The children gave a thumbs up/down at the start of each event at their confidence in playing the game and did the same at the end with an impressive 100 per cent thumbs up by the end of both events.

Following training, the children had the chance to experience some matches.

Although Year 3/4 took a little while, by the end there were some fantastic tries scored.

The Year 5/6 matches took a keen competitive edge straight away, showing some exceptionally high standards. The teachers were very impressed with the progress the children had made.

WSW SSP manager Sean O’Connor said: “These two events could not have taken place without the Regis School sports leaders who did an exceptional job and made The Regis School proud. I hope the children not already playing now look at accessing rugby after school at either club, as we try to promote our local club pathways”.

Schools in attendance were: Bersted Green, Bosham, Edward Bryant, North Mundham, Sidlesham, Southway, St Mary’s; Eastergate, Walberton and Binsted, West Dean and Westbourne. *Bognor under-17s continue to make progress on the pitch under the guidance of coach Tom Spurle after an impressive 55-19 victory away at Lewes.

Cellan Robinson scored a hat-trick and Misho Atanavos a brace in the nine try rout.

Harry Joyce, Luke Marsh, Oscar Henson and Lewis Decarteret also crossed. Next up is a trip to Farnborough Colts on Sunday (12pm).

DARTS: Gary English stole the headlines in week two of the Bognor Double In Double Out Darts League after he fired a ton-plus in shot and out shot in the same leg.

The Cabin player fired a 100 opener before rounding off with a 110 as he wrapped up the leg in just 18 darts.

It contributed towards a 24.67 per dart average for English as he was named the star performer of the week.

But the individual effort was in vain as his side suffered a 14-7 reverse to Legends A. Here are the results in full from week two of the competition:

Dragonflyers duo in 'sensational' show

f Izzy (left) and Sofija (right) with GB star f Bryony Page

DRAGONFLYERS duo Izzy Hauxwell and Sofija Kalnicenko have been inspired to go for gold after meeting one of their idols at the national trampoline finals.

After competing against the best that England has to offer, the girls spent time with GB star Bryony Page, who won the UK's first Olympic medal in the sport.

It was a highlight of an excellent weekend for English Institute of Sport in Sheffield.

Both girls were among the top 16 qualifying performers in their categories in what coach Linda O'Leary described as "an awesome achievement".

Sofija took on the country's very best 13 to 14-year-old females in her competition.

Despite two very nervous routines, her performance included a 9.4 difficulty voluntary routine where six out of ten moves were doubles with and without twists.

It gained her a sensational ninth place as the Bognor-based trampolinist narrowly missed out on the top eight jump off for medals by a

mere 0.025.

Speaking afterwards about Sofija's performance, O'Leary said it was 'a very proud moment'.

Hauxwell also excelled, jumping just one category below in the 15 to 16 girls event.

Her 7,6 difficulty and precision got her into the medal jump off where she finished a superb sixth position.

O'Leary said: "Dragonflyers are ecstatic about the girls' achievement.

"A tiny Regis School-based term time club with limited training hours took on the mighty giants of the trampoline circuit and shone amongst the stars."

Next up for the girls is the DWH International, where they will jump world age routines alongside three other flyers.

The duo will then head the following week to Sheffield yet again for the League One National Finals where they qualified in the top 16 at the very top level.

Bryony Page, watch out.

RUGBY: Chichester RFC return to action tomorrow with a crunch local derby against high-flying Brighton.

The Blues are languishing towards the bottom of London South One as injuries have hampered progress at Oaklands Park.

So far, coach Scott Ashley has used 39 players in just six weeks.

After a fortnight off, Chi have had a chance to rest up and will be raring to go when they head along the coast tomorrow (3pm).

Blues lost to fellow strugglers Dartfordians last time out, securing a losing bonus point in a 17-11 home defeat. Brighton, meanwhile, are second, with five wins from their opening six matches.

In Hampshire Premier, Bognor have their first match in two weeks when they welcome Gosport & Fareham IIs to Hampshire Avenue tomorrow (TBC).

Finals far from Chi's thoughts as boss Smith calls for focus

f Chi lost to Eastbourne Town on Saturday

City look to bounce back TABLE-TOPPING Chichester City will be looking to make a swift return to winning ways after falling to take advantage of a prime opportunity to open up a four-point gap.

The Oaklands Park side have been in fine form so far this season spending much of it at the summit of the SCFL Premier.

But, in front of a bumper crowd of more than 150 last weekend, City suffered a 2-1 loss to Eastbourne Town.

Two George Taggart goals, one either side of the break, were enough to seal a smash and grab win for the visitors.

A late overhead kick from Connor Cody gave Miles Rutherford's side hope.

But they were unable to add to their tally and take anything from the match.

With their nearest challengers in FA Vase action, Chi know they missed an opportunity to open up a gap on their rivals.

Before that loss, Miles Rutherford's side had won eight of their past nine matches in all competitions.

As it is they are just one point clear but have played a match more than Horsham YMCA in second and Pagham in third.

Chi will look to get back to winning ways tomorrow when they head to AFC Uckfield Town in the league (3pm).

The hosts are sitting in mid-table and will be full of confidence after a 2-0 away win at Tunbridge Wells in the FA Vase first round.

It means Chi will need to show more of the grit and determination that they displayed in the midweek Peter Bentley Cup match at Pagham.

With the match ending goalless, it was City who took the spoils winning 6-5 on penalties in front of a partisan crowd at Nyetimber Lane.

City face a trip to SCFL Division One side Mile Oak in the fourth round of the competition.

With matches in the FA Vase second round - a home tie against Hellenic Premier side Windsor - and Sussex Senior Cup second round - away at Hailsham Town - the next month or so will be a busy one for City.

String some results together, though, and it could be the start of a special season at Oaklands Park.

Silverware?

Perhaps.

Promotion? Who knows...

f Chi boss Miles Rutherford appeals for a foul

Email: sport@sussexpost.co.uk

CHICHESTER City Ladies boss Aaron Smith is playing down his side's bid for silverware and urging them to focus on picking up points in the league as their good start to the season rolls on.

The Oaklands Park outfit are now into the last 16 of the FA Women's League Cup with a 2-0 away win at Billericay Ladies last weekend.

Goals from Molly Clark and a right foot finish from Holy Wride sealed the victory for Chi on the road against spirited opposition.

But, rather than look to a possible final, Smith urged his team to focus on more immediate matters - starting this weekend when they head to west London to play QPR in the National South on Sunday (2pm).

Speaking after the win in Essex, Smith said: "We are not looking that far ahead [to the final]. We have a game at QPR and it may be cliche but that's what I'm looking at.

"At the top of the league, everyone is playing each other and taking points off each other.

Last year in the games like QPR we would have dropped points and we don't want that to happen this season."

City have lost just once all season and sit fourth in the table, four points off top spot.

Sids' cup run comes to an end

SIDLESHAM players have been praised after the club's FA Vase run came to a crushing end.

Steve Bailey's SCFL Division One side have saved some of their best performances of the season for the national non-league knockout cup.

But, after two excellent wins against higher ranked opponents, the Sids were finally eliminated from the contest by Southern Counties East Premier side Chatham Town last weekend.

Bailey's side put in a strong performance against the free-scoring visitors and were

unlucky to be defeated 2-0.

Writing afterwards on the club's Twitter page, it said: "Great effort today, going down 2-0 to Chatham. On another day it may have been different. But officials are paid to make decisions, even if they are the wrong ones!"

The hope from those at the Recreation Ground is that the club can use the cup run as a springboard for the rest of the season.

The opening three months back at step five has delivered much promise. But a poor run of late has seen Sids slip to mid-table.

With Seaford Town visiting tomorrow

f Chatham celebrate scoring against Sidlesham

(3pm), three points would put them back on course.

One side that had better fortune in the FA Vase was Pagham who cruised into the second round with a 4-2 win away at Combined Counties Premier side Hanworth Villa.

Andy Chick, Callum Overton (2) and George Gaskin scored in the comfortable away win.

Next up for the Lions in the Vase is a home match against fellow SCFL Premier side Peacehaven.

Before then, they must travel to Surrey tomorrow to play Lingfield in the league (3pm) and will be keen to bounce back from a midweek penalties loss to Chichester City in the Peter Bentley Cup. In SCFL Division One, Selsey travel to fourth-bottom Mile Oak (3pm) looking to build on their best result of the season so far.

Blues, who are eighth in the league, defeated Billingshurst 6-0 last weekend thanks to strikes from Ryan Morey (2), Tom Jefkins (2), John Phillips and an OG. In SCFL Division Two, Bosham's woes continue.

The Walton Lane side were hammered 7-0 on the road at Rustington last weekend in the first round of the division two trophy.

It means the Robins are without a win in five in all competitions.

They will look to resolve that tomorrow when they welcome league new boys Brighton Electricity to the Lane tomorrow (3pm).

Bognor quartet in cross-country bow BOGNOR Tone Zone members dipped their toes into a whole new type of running event as a team of four made their cross country debut.

After several years of the club being out of the muddy countryside, Peter Lee, Jack Penfold, Byron Kearns and Simon Gill returned to fly the flag in the Chichester Cross Country Relay, which is part of the Sussex Championship.

The course was challenging, with steep hills coming thick and fast over the 4,000 metres.

Peter Lee set off on leg one for the team and came back to complete his lap in 15:04 before handing over to Jack Penfold, who also ran a 15:04 time.

Byron Kearns took charge for the third lap and continued his fine form for the club

finishing in 15:30 before handing over to Simon Gill, who despite being struck down by man flu still finished in 14:03.

All four runners enjoyed the new testing experience and will be hoping to enter more cross country events.

A number of Tone Zone runners were in action elsewhere this week.

Taking part in the Cranborne Chase Ultra Marathon was Joan Woolley who finished under the 8 hour mark in 7:56.

Further away from home, and in completely the opposite conditions in Mallorca, were Mark Williamson, Jackie Williamson and Andy Miles. Mark ran the Palma marathon finishing in 4:24. Jackie and Andy ran the half marathon together to both finish in 2:13.

f Bognor remain third in the Bostik Premier despite suffering a first league defeat to Folkestone on Tuesday

Rocks boss proud of youthful side despite first league loss Next Game

MARGATE (H) Tomorrow, 3pm

IT WAS the best of weeks and the worst of weeks for Bognor.

After registering their first away win of the season at Bostik Premier leaders Tonbridge Angels on Saturday, Rocks suffered their first league defeat, losing 4-2 at home to Folkestone Invicta.

It was four days which sums up football as this level - where anyone can beat anyone and nothing should be taken for granted.

After two hard fought games, Bognor were exactly where they started the week, in third position in the league.

But the win at Longmead against a strong Tonbridge side in front of more than 800 fans means that they are now just two points off top spot.

With a home match against sixth-placed Margate tomorrow (3pm), Bognor have the perfect opportunity to get back on track with three points against in-form opponents.

Then there is a long midweek trip to Bostik One South East side Hythe Town in the Velocity Trophy on Tuesday (7.45pm).

Rocks will take heart from the win at Tonbridge last weekend.

Jack Pearce's young side, which included 17-year-old centre back Joe Dandy making his debut after signing from Portsmouth, controlled the match.

Another Fratton Park loanee, Brad Lethbridge, gave Bognor the lead. After being

pegged back, Mason Walsh hit home an injury time winner with a 25-yard daisy cutter.

Speaking after the Tonbridge win, manager Pearce said: "Goals change games and over 90 minutes no one could complain that we were better side.

"We created more chances than them but the way the game went they were always in it.

"Our attitude was good, our pace of the game good, trying to pass the ball well "When you think of number of young players in this team, we should be really proud."

It was, perhaps, this naivety of youth that was evident on Tuesday against Folkestone.

After falling behind early on, Rocks hit back when Jimmy Muitt tapped home from close range.

But two mistakes before half time saw Bognor concede two very soft goals. Then, in the second period, Dan Lincoln picked up a pass back which led to a free-kick and a fourth for the visitors.

Tommy Scutt got one back for Rocks. But despite late pressure and the introduction of re-signed striker Jimmy Wild, Bognor were condemned to their first league loss of the season.

Pearce said: "Being so young means mistakes will be made but it's how you respond to mistakes and I thought our response was fantastic. We stuck to our guns and ultimately got what I think we deserved."

Calvin eyes return to the pros HE has been one of Bognor's stand-out players in recent seasons, with a string of eyecatching performances which are turning the heads of visiting scouts.

But, despite his own ambition of a return to professional football, Calvin Davies said he remains committed to helping the Rocks surge up the Bostik Premier table.

The 21-year-old, who came through the ranks at League One Portsmouth, has shown his worth at non-league level.

His composed ability on the ball and capacity to make lung-busting runs from right back have made him an invaluable asset in Jack Pearce's side.

Despite a short spell at Yeovil and links with Bristol City Under 23s, Davies remains at the Nye Camp - and he is happy to keep on focusing on the immediate future with Rocks.

He said: "I'm not chasing it. If I can play well every week and help the cause that is all I can do, and I am happy to do that.”

He added: "We're a young team and we don't have any fear when we're playing and that is essential.

"We've started well and hope to continue with that winning mentality after the disappointment of relegation last season."

f Davies has been linked with professional clubs

FOOTBALL has a habit of serving up plenty of ups and downs - and Rocks fans certainly experienced those in the last week!

We have finally got our first away win out of the way with a nice 2-1 result against Tonbridge Angels at Longmead.

We headed there, having not had great results in the past, in front of over 800 fans on Non League Day. I thought after the first five minutes we really created some decent chances but had to wait until the restart to see us take the lead.

A neat move down the left saw Mason Walsh use his pace before crossing the ball into the area for Bradley Lethbridge to neatly convert it beyond the goalkeeper.

But an impressive Adem Ramadan was causing havoc down the other end of the field for the Angels and he was involved in the build-up as Bognor let Alex Read through to score.

But, after a lengthy spell with their goalkeeper down and eventually being stretchered off and replaced, a massive eight minutes were added on to the end of the match.

It looked like it was set to be another draw on the road, but Rocks pounced at the right time and Walsh netted a great goal in the 92nd minute to send Rocks fans home happy.

I was just pleased that we had finally won away from home this season.

The support was terrific in this first versus third tie, and it has to be said our fans out-sung the home side all afternoon.

I must say the £5 entrance fee went down well with the fans.

I was just glad our coach got there on time - before 2.15pm when the deal ended!

It was really like watching a different side on Tuesday night at home to Folkestone Invicta.

Mistakes at the back cost us here and some clinical

finishing from the Seasiders saw us lose 4-2. Our first loss at home this season and our first overall in league action.

For me, we missed some decent chances in the first half and this ultimately cost us against a relatively lively Invicta side.

It was a bit miserable driving home after such a bad night under the lights at Nyewood Lane. It was certainly a game to forget for the fans and players.

Despite this, we still remain in third position and the players will look ahead to Saturday’s home game against Margate.

As we saw at Tonbridge, we know this young team can really beat anyone in this division. But at present we are hampered by injuries to players in key positions.

Dan Smith is the biggest blow, not to mention two key defenders in Keaton Wood and Corey Heath on the sidelines for a while.

However, I've been impressed by the performances of Joe Dandy, who has stepped in at centre half, and Joe Tomlinson has really slotted into the side well.

Mason Walsh, for me, has been a refreshing addition to the side on the left wing.

His pace allows us to get on the counter quickly and this proved influential at Tonbridge. I hope we can keep hold of him.

There's lots to look forward to away from the league, too.

We've been drawn to play Bracknell Town away on the 27th October in the FA Trophy and Seaford in the Sussex Senior Cup in November - plus we are away to Hythe Town on Tuesday next week in the Velocity Trophy.

Am I the only one that thinks there are too many cups getting in the way of our league push? Let me know when you see me on Saturday as Rocks will hope to get back to winning ways at Nyewood Lane! UP THE ROCKS
