City's MP tours primary schools and updates them on funding BIRDHAM CE Primary School and Bosham CE Primary School welcomed the city's MP last Friday.

THe morning started with Gillian Keegan's visit to Birdham where she was asked to give out the ‘star awards’ to pupils who had excelled over the week.

THe Chichester MP officially opened the new library that was upgraded last year and she read one of the 200 new books to a class.

Mrs Keegan then had a meeting wit headteacher Mark McCadden regarding education funding and the priorities of the school. She updated him on her work in Parliament to secure better funding for schools in West Sussex.

Mr McCadden said: “We were

delighted to host Gillian, and I am pleased we got the time to discuss our school funding priorities as well as the wider funding for schools in West Sussex. I am reassured that Gillian is working hard to secure better funding for schools across the county."

In the afternoon, Mrs Keegan visited Bosham Primary School having received an invitation from the current year fives. She was given a tour of the school and children were keen to show her their work in preparation for Remembrance Sunday, which has been a two-week whole school learning experience called 'Lest We Forget'. As part of the wider learning experience, each child is making their own poppy badge as well as class displays.

f Mark and Rebecca Ford constructing the sculpture

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk OVER A thousand paper butterflies have been created to form a special sculpture at the cathedral.

THe Spire of Peace has been created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War and inspire visitors to consider how to take positive action for peace.

THe structure has been designed by land artists Mark and Rebecca Ford to stand eight metres high in the North Transept of the Cathedral.

Visitors will be able to enter and explore as well as contribute to the Spire with their own personal pledge for peace.

THe outside will be covered in a spiralling mass of over 1000 paper butterflies hand folded by local young people and community groups.

Butterflies are symbols of the fragility of life, but also of transformation, renewal and hope.

THe Spire of Peace will also be the focus for events for young people. THe West Sussex Young Carers group will be willow weaving with Mark and Rebecca Ford, as well as folding large scale butterflies to add to the Spire of Peace.

Today, children from six primary

schools will be gathering for an interactive Remembrance and Peacemaking service at Chichester Cathedral to commemorate the 100th anniversary and to inspire them to take positive action to work for peace.

THe event is one of a series of inspire peace-making events which are being held in cathedrals throughout the UK, in collaboration with the BBC, Oasis Charitable Trust, Coventry Cathedral and the Quakers in Britain Following the service, pupils will engage in further peace-making activities including adding their own peace pledges to the Spire of Peace.

"THe original planning application was very thin on detail and it became obvious that the rushed through first plans would not meet the necessary noise criteria and the structure chosen could only be fastened by 100cm steel stakes totally unsuitable for an historic park with archaeology, as pointed out

by Historic England.

"So we have a new structure and a new layout moving around the noisy equipment into different positions in the same application greatly modified.

"However, there are still more questions than answers. It all boils down as the residents quite rightly said in their questions to cabinet of a good idea in the wrong place using an operator that appears not to have run the risky business of an ice rink before."

West Sussex County Council has sent a letter of objection to Chichester District Council's licensing department for the alcohol licence.

Not all Chichester residents have objected to the plans. Zoe McManus said: "THe rice rink absolutely should come to Priory Park. THe children don’t have much to do in Chichester at Christmas, especially this year as the Chichester Christmas lights and fireworks won’t be going ahead.

"THe nearest proper ice skate rink is in London which looks magical.

THe ice rink would have a absolutely beautiful background of Priory Park.

"I don't think they should have an alcohol licence so this can go ahead.

THere is a pub opposite the park if adults want a drink plus there is an onsite wonderful cafe to use for hot chocolates.

"THat’s the main worry for residents around the park - the alcohol. So just scrap the licence and finally have a magical ice rink for Chichester. It would bring in so many people far and wide and into the town. THe town will be booming once again. Win - win for us all!"

` Duncton collision A CHICHESTER resident has been taken to hospital after a fatal collision this week.

THe individual was one of two people in a Toyota Avensis car who were taken to St Richard's Hospital in Chichester for treatment.

Emergency services were called at 7.45am on Tuesday to the twocar collision on the A285 south of Duncton. A Vauxhall Corsa was involved as well as the Toyota.

THe Corsa driver, a 23-year-old Billingshurst man, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sgt Vicki Rees, of Sussex Police, said: "We are appealing to anyone who was driving in the area this morning who saw what happened to contact us online - sussex.police.uk - quoting Operation Hingham."

` East Beach CHICHESTER District Council cabinet members agreed to release £100,000 from reserves to help fund the replacement of the East Beach, Selsey surface water outfall.

THe money replaces the approved funding from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) with the balance funded from revenue resources to the extent that it is not otherwise met from external grant from Southern Water.

At the meeting on Tuesday, councillors agreed that it was more appropriate to fund this from reserves and not CIL as previously agreed in their meeting on September 4.

Once constructed, it will be inspected on a quarterly basis.

Council agrees to new licence fees

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CABINET members have agreed to new fees and charges relating to animal welfare in the city.

THe Animal Welfare (Licensing of activities involving animals) Regulations 2018 replaces existing legislation for animal licensing activities, including dog breeding, pet shops, animal boarding and riding stables.

Chichester district councillors voted unanimously on a new fee structure for businesses when the cabinet met on Tuesday. THis was then debated at the general licensing committee meeting the following day and will now go to full council.

Proposed fees could include a pet shop being charged £304 and boarding for dogs and cats could cost around £334.

Dog day care businesses which have not previously had a licensing fee to pay and have been unregulated will now be charged over £300.

Previously, these costs were an annual figure, but under the new legislation, if a business is operating to high standards the licence could be for up to three years and therefore these costs would be payable over this time.

THe new fee structure will ensure that the animal licensing system achieves cost recovery, including enforcement.

In addition to the council's fees, businesses may also be required to pay for an inspection and report from the

council's authorised vet.

Vet inspections are required for riding establishments, the first inspection of a dog breeder and for any premises where an officer has concerns about animal welfare and a vet's opinion is required.

Cllr John Connor, cabinet member for environment services, said: "Most licences will run for two or three years instead of being renewed annually depending on the compliance of the business.

"Only poor businesses will require an annual inspection. THe cost of fully compliant businesses may, in fact, be less over the life the licence. It has been the experience in the food industry that the star rating system, longer licensing and, therefore, fewer inspections should be an incentive for operators to achieve the very high standard of animal welfare."

f The custody centre in Kingsham Road

City's custody centre closed CHICHESTER custody centre closed on THursday, November 1, with all detainees now going to Durrington.

With the city's custody centre in Kingsham Road having the lowest usage of the six custody centres across Sussex it was decided in June it would be of operational benefit to maximise the use of Durrington custody centre and close the one in Chichester.

Chief Superintendent Jerry Westerman said: "THe decision to close Chichester custody centre has not been taken lightly. It is being driven by a need to make the best use of resources and it is vital that we continue to improve the efficiency of

our custody centres and make Sussex fit for the future.

"THe savings from closing Chichester will be reinvested into additional staff in investigations and response officers which will boost policing in the area."

Since its peak, the number of detainees in Sussex has reduced by more than half in the last ten years, with a reduction seen by forces across the country.

THis significant drop is due to changes in legislation and alternative disposal options being available, such as community resolutions meaning fewer people going through the traditional custody route.

Spook-tacular ghost hunters raise funds for cancer charity

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A SCARY city tour attracted more than 30 people to help raise money for the charity, CancerWise.

A ticketed one-off event to support CancerWise was organised with Ghost Hunters; Julia Macfarlane, Becky Brooke and Caroline Travis.

THe trio from Bognor Regis Write Club, entertained the 31 guests with lighthearted tales of ghosts and other spooky happenings connected to Chichester’s historic buildings.

New stories have been uncovered in 2018, among them the ghostly goings on still occurring in Prezzo’s and the ghosts of “Reg” and “Mary”, still active in high street shops.

Several of those attending wore fancy dress to really get into the spirit.

CancerWise is a registered charity based in Chichester. THe centre in Basin Road has a warm, relaxed and welcoming feel, with staff and volunteers ready to support people the minute they walk through our door.

THe charity offers support and information to cancer patients, their families and carers in the West Sussex and East Hampshire area.

THe service offered aims to be one of enablement and empowerment in a caring and compassionate

environment.

Julia Macfarlane said: "I hope people enjoyed themselves. We are very proud of our city centre, its historic past, and its resident ghosts!"

CancerWise provides a wide range of free services at its drop-in centre, including complementary therapies, counselling, art groups, open days, a library, information and regular talks.

Emma Neno, who organised the event, said: “THe event raised a fantastic £197.50 for CancerWise. We had a brilliant evening and loved all the ghostly stories!

"Our thanks go to everyone who came along and especially to Julia, Becky and Caroline for hosting the very successful evening.

f The queue on Saturday morning

Queues in West Street as residents wait for annual flu vaccine at doctors OVER 500 residents in Chichester attended a flu clinic in West Street on Saturday.

Patients of Langley House Surgery visited their GPs for the jabs between 9am and 1pm.

THe flu vaccination is available every year on the NHS to help protect adults and children from flu and its complications. THis year, for the first time, there are different flu vaccines for over 65s and under 65s.

On their website, Langley House Surgery said: "We would like to extend our thanks to our patients for their understanding at last Saturday’s flu clinic.

"It was a very busy clinic and the wait time was onerous for which we sincerely apologise.

THis year’s flu campaign has been very arduous, largely due to there only being one national supplier of flu jabs for over 65s and the deliveries

being abnormally late to practices (40 per cent only just being delivered).

"We have this year vaccinated a much larger proportion of patients during normal consultation times, rather than rely on clinics.

Using our experience of the past 20 years, given the number of vaccines we have given already and the normal uptake of vaccine, we would expect 300-400 patients attend.

"Last Saturday’s clinic involved vaccinating 522 patients. We are reassured that the 2019 season will be easier as we will not have the vaccine supply pressures and will be able to stagger our clinics, as we have done in previous years, well in advance of when we expect flu to start circulating in the community. We would like to reiterate our apologies for the delays last Saturday due to this unprecedented demand."

` Priory Park CHAIRMAN of Friends of Priory Park, Richard Plowman, has stood down after 15 years.

Cllr Plowman is a member of Chichester District Council's planning committee and was unable to vote on the recent ice rink plans.

He said: "I have reluctantly had to stand aside as chairman of the Friends of Priory Park. THe reason was that it was deemed that as a district councillor, the role as chairman was so influential and carried considerable weight that it came into conflict with district council policy.

"THis means I was told by the council's standards office, I should declare a prejudicial interest in matters relating to Priory Park, which means, for example, I had to leave the meeting at the planning meeting.

"Had I been there, the result would have been different and there would probably have been no ice rink. I had no choice than to stand aside as chairman but as a ordinary Friends of Priory Park member, I could have declared a personal interest and still voted."

Robert is cream of the crop for delivering milk in city

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A CITY milkman has reached the semifinals in the search for Milk & More's milkman of the year.

THe competition, which received thousands of nominations from customers across England and Wales, secured Robert Bickell one of the places, putting him in the running to be crowned Milk & More Milkman of the Year 2018 in late November.

THe competition highlights the great work our milkmen and women do, often before the sun has even come up!

Robert, a milkman for 18 years, beat off stiff competition from 1,100 Milk & More milkmen and women across the country through numerous nominations from his customers thanks to his friendly and caring nature, which sees him going ‘the extra mile’ time and again, due to his passion for helping others and his commitment to delivering great service.

Hearing the news he had been shortlisted as a semi-finalist, Robert said: "It means the world to be nominated for doing a job I love, by the community I’ve worked within for nearly 20 years.

"We’re a great team at Milk & More, and we’re really focused on making sure we provide the best possible service to our customers.”

Staff frequently help customers with

PO19 6PQ

small jobs in their homes, from changing light bulbs to moving items they find too heavy and like his colleagues, Robert keeps an eye on people's properties and report things if they’re not right – all the while delivering milk and more to his customers.

Patrick Müller, chief executive of Milk & More, said: "We believe our milkmen and women are integral to their communities

and we’re thrilled at the response to the competition from our customers.

"We constantly strive to provide a friendly, trustworthy service and Robert is such a wonderful example of why we believe every neighbourhood deserves a milkman.”

You can order over 200 daily essentials through your local milkman, from bread, eggs and cheese to breakfast cereal,

yogurt and, of course, a wide variety of milks.

Milkmen and women started delivering daily essentials to homes more than 150 years ago, in essence making them the original home delivery service.

While the level of service hasn’t changed, the offering has evolved and continues to do so, to meet the needs of the customer of the 21st century.

Like father, like daughter as special exhibition comes to the Oxmarket

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk TWO FAMOUS artists now have their work on display at the Oxmarket Centre of Arts in Chichester.

A special private view was held on Tuesday to open the new exhibition, Father and Daughter, showing the work of Clarence and Gillian Whaite.

THese artists and educationists both studied at the renowned Slade School of Fine Art and exhibited nationally. THey ended their days in Chichester and this retrospective of their work is the first for 39 years.

Art historian and doctoral student, Jan Hodges from the University of Chichester, discovered the archive of work created by the two artists.

Jan came across the artwork during a studio auction of the painters' work.

One of the executors for Gillian and a friend of 20 years, Julie Jones, gave Jan permission to spend some time in the house cataloguing the archive which Jan later presented to the University of Chichester.

THe exhibition shows works, including portraits and landscapes in a variety of mediums, demonstrating the scope and versatility of these two artists whose lives are now the subject of a PhD by Jan. Despite both Clarence and Gillian

living in London for most of their lives, they retired to Chichester. Clarence lived in the newly-developed Parklands estate in 1962 and Gillian lived in Orchard Avenue, her house later bequeathed to the National Trust.

Jan said: "Working through the house felt like an archaeological dig and it soon became obvious that very little should be discarded.

"THe Whaite archive consisted of a complete illustrated catalogue of the work of both artists, paperwork and photographs that eventually filled 38 archive boxes.

"When I first discovered the archive, I couldn't believe that so little had been written about them, considering the place they hold in the history of art and art education.

"I have been researching art for more than 21 years and it felt as if all my work had let to this opportunity, I felt that I had walked through a door marked 'Life's Work'.

"I started my PhD research project in February, 2015, particularly concentrating on Clarence and placing him in the historical context of his era.

"THis exhibition is based on my research for a PhD At the University of Chichester. I am very pleased to be able to show case the work of these two artists who ended their days in Chichester, having lived in London for most of their

lives.

"I have tried to exhibit a crosssection of their work in various forms: paintings, drawings, etchings, ceramics and wood engravings. I have borrowed from eight private collections and also Pallant House, Chichester and Worthing Museum."

THe exhibition was opened by Jane Cox, the ceramicist, who is the current Master of the Art Workers' Guild, founded by William Morris.

It has involved a great deal of work on Jan's part as she has arranged the sponsorship of the Oxmarket, by solicitors, OwenKenny Partnership, and the University of Chichester, designed all the publicity, produced the commemorative illustrated brochure and liaised with the owners of works for many months prior to the exhibition opening.

THis exhibition is the first such liaison between the Oxmarket and the University of Chichester.

THere will be talks during the exhibition and a commemorative brochure will be available to purchase. THe Oxmarket Gallery located in St Andrews Court, East Street, is one of the Mayor's chosen charities this year.

` Business Park HUGE DEMAND has brought a Chichester business park to almost full occupancy, with just five units left out of 75 that were built speculatively.

Glenmore Business Park, at Portfield Works, has become a thriving hub for businesses since landlord and developer Glenmore Group began work on building 75 units in two phases over 18 months ago.

With the first phase of 35 units sold or leased last year, South Coast commercial property specialists Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) report there are now just five left available of the 40 units built in the second phase.

Occupiers at the business park include World of Books, one of the largest internet booksellers in the UK, which has taken a 10,000 sq ft space for warehousing and office use, and indoor trampoline operator Flip Out, which has over 22,000 sq ft on the site.

THe last five units range from 1,346 sq ft to 2,204 sq ft and are ideal for small to medium-sized businesses to purchase on a freehold basis for industrial, storage and distribution uses. THey will be completed and ready for occupation from November this year.

Guy Jackson, associate director, industrial at the South Coast offices of LSH, said: “Glenmore Business Park was built on a speculative nature without a single deal in place and the take-up by businesses has been nothing short of phenomenal. THe speed at which these units have been leased or sold reflects the quality of the units and the strategic location."

Tommy unveiled at station

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk SERVICEMEN, residents and councillors gathered at Chichester railway station on Monday morning to unveil the new soldier silhouette.

Dave Tilley, chairman of the Chichester branch of the Queen's Regimental Association, led the service by the ticket office in the foyer area, to mark the 7,302 Royal Sussex soldiers who died.

THe Mayor, Cllr Martyn Bell, and president of the Royal Sussex Chichester branch, John White, both laid wreaths by the Silent Solider and an iron memorial created by Ford prisoners.

Southern West Coast station manager Howard Clear was presented with a

franed copy of Sussex By THe Sea and one of the 100-year prayer, for his help in organising the silhouette.

He said: "We are proud to be displaying the silhouettes at 19 stations across our network to commemorate this very special anniversary.

"We want to remember the railway workers from Great Britain and Ireland who served under arms during the First World War, almost 19,000 of whom made the ultimate sacrifice.

"We are also paying tribute to the enormous contribution of the hundreds and thousands of men and women who kept Britain’s rail network moving, delivering vital munitions and supplies to the Western Front.

"At Chichester, it was particularly pleasing to have the First Battalion Royal

Sussex Regiment there. THe silhouette will stay in place alongside the Soldier's Prayer and Sussex by the Sea which was presented by the First Battalion."

To mark the centenary of the end of World War One, THe Royal British Legion has been offering, for donation, a variety of silhouettes to symbolise communities that took part in the conflict.

THe silhouettes are near life-size and can be fixed to a wall or attached to an upright post in public or private spaces.

Cllr Bell said: "We all know what happened here in terms of thousands of young men who passed through this station during that great war, many of them of course, not to return.

"It is with great sadness that I am here but also of great pride."

Dave Tilley said: "THe Royal Sussex

Regiment Association, as we are in Chichester, are probably one of the strongest branches. We are now open to all served soldiers and sons and grandchildren. We are 94-strong and we want to keep it going."

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A MERGER between the Chichester College Group and Worthing College is being considered.

THe consultation launched on THursday, November 1, will run until Monday, December 3, and sets out the planned vision for the merger.

THis will enable members of the public and stakeholders to review the proposal and have their say.

Paul Riley, principal at Worthing College, said: "I firmly believe this merger is in the very best interests of our students, staff and the wider community we serve.

"It will enable the college to grow and develop, ensuring the people of Worthing will continue to enjoy access to a college which provides high quality education for many years to come.

"THe merger will mean we will be able to provide more learning opportunities to students of all ages and learning abilities.

"THey will have access to a broader range of courses, including A-levels, apprenticeships, vocational qualifications and higher education. THis is an exciting time for Worthing College."

"We will be working together to deliver excellence not only to our learners and staff, but also to business and to the local

communities that we serve.

` Car crime surge THIEVES are targeting vehicles in rural car parks around Chichester and Bognor Regis.

THe number of thefts being reported from the sites and laybys in remote sites has soared 44 per cent in recent months in the Chichester area.

In the Walberton area, which includes Slindon, thefts have surged by 20 to 36 in the year to September 30.

Acting Inspector Danny West, of Sussex Police, told councillors: "THere is a professional gang from out of the area who are targeting rural car parks and this, unfortunately, includes Slindon as well.

"THey are breaking into cars on the basis that every tenth one will give them something of value."

He said the remote location of the sites made it hard for the police to stop the criminals.

"THey are using stolen cars with stolen number plates," he said.

He urged motorists to ensure they took all their valuables with them when they parked their vehicles.

Overall vehicle crime in the Arun district in the year to the end of September 30 dropped by 68 incidents to 699.

Police have responded with Operation Mini, aimed at thwarting thefts and catching those responsible.

PC Kieron Morgan, from Chichester police, said: "THeft from cars is a perennial problem but efforts have been, and are being, made to deter and detect this type of criminality."

Poppies help remind those with dementia

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A SPECIAL remembrance service was held on Friday at the Tangmere dementia hub.

A military reminiscence group for people living with dementia and their carers, held the remembrance service to commemorate the end of World War One. THe British Forces Veterans Group meets every fortnight at Sage House.

Members are ex-British Forces veterans either living with dementia, or they are the carers or family of someone living with dementia.

THe group took part in a special remembrance service led by Military Padre David Poulter.

He spoke about the significance of the poppy and how it came to symbolise the remembrance of the fallen in World War One. THe group wore their regimental badges and medals together with their poppies and one veteran, Bob McKinnon, brought a specially made photo book of his time in the army – a memento to share with the group.

Commemorative World War One poems were read out, including one especially written by a Sage House member of staff, Teresa Harrison-Best, called To Remember is To Honour.

THe group also watched a recording of the Remembrance Service from the

Royal Albert Hall and held the two minutes' silence.

A special part of the session was the unveiling of THe Sage House poppy painting. THis has been created by an art group who attend Sage House. Individual poppies were painted by people living with dementia and their carers. Staff and volunteers also contributed to the poppy painting. THe group’s tutor, David Shannon, then used each poppy to create a montage – a field of poppies with the white cliffs of Dover, and warships and planes in the background.

THis is a very striking piece of art which combines the work of everyone at Sage House and brings together all of Sage House in remembrance.

David Shannon then spoke about the painting and his experience of how the Australians remember World War One. In the Commonwealth Nations the end of the war was commemorated in 1919 as many soldiers did not return home until then. Consequently, Australia will remember the centenary on November 11, 2019.

In time for the commemorations, a British Legion silent silhouette of a World War One soldier is also up outside Sage House, and can be seen from the main road. THis has kindly been sponsored by Tangmere Parish Council.

It was moving for the veterans remembering those who served before them, as well as comrades who served with them and those who served since.

THis was a special event for the veterans

f Bob McKinnon group. However, the group meets regularly each fortnight and reminisce about their time in the forces. Most importantly, it provides an opportunity to meet other people in the local area which reduces isolation and loneliness.

THe charity is currently looking for military memorabilia and people to talk about the Army, Navy and RAF. Sage House is the first of its kind in the UK, which brings all dementia services under one roof for people living with dementia and their families and carers – day care, community care, the NHS memory assessment service, social

f The Sage House Poppy Painting activities, health and wellbeing services, dementia information and advice, and a community cafe.

THe support services are provided by local charity Dementia Support, within Sage House.

THey are available for people living in

the Chichester, Bognor Regis, Arundel, Selsey, Witterings, Emsworth, Midhurst and Petworth areas.

Blind football led by university

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk RESEARCH on blind football will be performed by the University of Chichester.

THe university has been chosen to lead innovative research into a developing a sports-specific classification system for blind football.

Experts from the university were selected to carry out the project by the International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) to allow the sport to meet the International Paralympic Committee’s (IPC) classification code and international standards.

Chichester was chosen from 12 universities to lead the assignment.

Dr Oliver Runswick, a senior lecturer in sport and exercise psychology at the University of Chichester’s Institute of Sport, will lead the research alongside five experts from the fields of sports science, physiology, and optometry.

He said: “We are delighted to have been selected from a number of strong applications to take the lead on this project.

“It’s fantastic to be involved with a project that can have a real and positive impact on the sport.

“We look forward to working closely with IBSA and colleagues from IPC’s visual impairment research centre to achieve this.”

THe IBSA received funding from the IPC for the project which will not only establish the minimum impairment criteria but provide a validated set of tests of performance suitable for future work.

THe research is expected to take between two to four years and will be split into three phases.

Stage one will involve consultation and surveys of athletes, coaches, and administrators from five-a-side football.

THe second phase will involve developing performance tests that reflect elements of football likely to be impacted by a visual impairment.

In the third and final stage researchers will simulate different type of impairments in sighted footballers to determine the minimum level of impairment for blind football.

THe project will involve the IPC’s visual impairment research centre, the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and an expert from vision and hearing sciences at Anglia Ruskin University.

IBSA blind football chairman Ulrich Pfisterer said: “I would like to thank Dr Runswick and the other experts for submitting a strong research proposal for this important area.

“It is truly a collaborative effort being carried out by some of the world’s leading institutions.

“We are very interested to see their research unfold over the coming years to create a robust set of proposals for how classification in blind football can be improved.”

` Passengers' survey BUS USERS around Bognor Regis and Chichester have just over a week to make their views known about some services.

A West Sussex County Council survey into the future of the routes it subsidises ends on November 18.

More than 1,000 passengers have had their say to date. But a council spokesman said it was keen to receive comments from as many people as possible.

“We want to understand the impact for passengers and others if any potential changes are made to supported bus services in the future.

“Most routes in West Sussex are operated by bus companies on a commercial basis and these are not part of the survey. However, some routes receive a subsidy from the county council to help them run," he said.

Comments to: westsussex.gov.uk/buses or contact: buses@westsussex.gov.uk or phone 01243 642015 for paper copies.

Slimline Samantha is facing healthier future f L-r: Peter Turner, Phil Turner & Philip Turner Snr

Postal service is first class boost AWARD-WINNING baker Phil Turner has found a new way to earn a crust in Bognor Regis and Chichester.

He has launched a UK delivery service for Turner's Pies.

THe scheme has proved a first class success. Orders have been received from Ilfracombe to Inverness.

THe stamp of approval for the firm's handmade tasty treats has delighted Phil, its managing director.

THe company has been based in Hawthorn Road, Bognor Regis, for decades and has branched out to Chichester, Rustington and Worthing in recent years.

But Phil realised people were travelling miles to stock up on products such as the steak and ale pie which

won the supreme champion award at a national pie competition earlier this year.

He said: "THe pies by post service is a natural progression for our business given that we know demand is there in spite of the geographical position of the core of our set-up.

"THe feedback is encouraging with more than a few customers telling us it is first class. THat said, we are listening to the pie-lovers of our region, too, and have recently opened a new shop in Worthing."

Once orders are received for delivery, the pies are freshly baked and sent on an overnight courier.

Phil is a third generation at the baker, which dates back to 1933.

A WALBERTON diabetic has taken control of her condition by losing weight.

Samantha Page has changed her relationship with food for good after she was diagnosed with the blood sugar problem.

She has lost 36 pounds in weight this year and lowered her body mass index of her weight to her height to slow down the onset of her latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA).

Mum-of-one Samantha, 28, said: "From the moment I was diagnosed with LADA, everything changed.

"I had to rethink a lot of the foods I was eating and knew that the progression of my condition could be slowed down if I became healthier and lowered my BMI." Samantha was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last November to leave her feeling low about her health and weight.

THe diagnosis was changed several weeks later to LADA. THis is a form of childhood type 1 diabetes that appears later on in life and is slower to develop than the regular type 1 version.

LADA can initially be treated with tablets but insulin injections are the

only long-term treatment as well as monitoring to detect any complications.

Samantha decided to join WW and, after losing two-and-a-half stone, she is feeling the benefits. Among them is having more energy to play with her son.

"I'm healthier and fitter all round and, although my form of diabetes cannot be reversed, losing weight has helped me to take control of it and help slow down its progression," she said.

Her WW wellness coaches, Sarah Bell and Victoria Redden, have described Samantha as an inspiration.

SIT back and relax in our plush red seats to make the most of the 26th French Film Festival on Tour in the just-out winter programme. Many of these films will not be screened again in the UK. Five of these 22 films showing this week are Sink or Swim, (Le Grand Bain), the very funny version of Swimming with Men, and Ceasefire (Cessez le Feu) in which the always admirable Romain Duris plays Georges, a hero of the First World War conflict who is running away from his past.

THis powerful film is joined by One Nation, One King (Un Peuple et son Roi) which follows the scale of events of the 1789 French Revolution from the point of view of ordinary people and Return of the Hero (Le Retour du Héros), a polished French period comedy with lavish costumes and eye-popping décor.

Promise at Dawn (La Promesse de l’Aube) is an adaptation of famed writer Romain Gary’s epic memoir, a delicious, diverting melange of pathos, comedy and ripe camembert.

From the USA comes Juliet, Naked, the story of Annie (the long-suffering girlfriend of Duncan), played by Rose Byrne and her unlikely transatlantic romance with once revered, now faded, singer-songwriter, Tucker Crowe (a wonderfully weathered Ethan Hawke), who also happens to be the subject of Duncan's (Chris O’Dowd) musical obsession. Based on Nick Hornby’s novel, Juliet, Naked is a charming, fun film but,

spoiler alert, there’s no nudity.

THe Children Act returns to bowl over audiences with Emma THompson’s remarkable portrayal as Fiona, a conflicted judge who must deal with a sensitive case involving a 17-year-old and her own faltering marriage. Based on Ian McEwan’s novel and directed by Richard Eyre, Emma’s husband is played by Stanley Tucci, another fine reason for seeing this film of quality.

No less than three Performance events this week to celebrate life are Funny Girl (Nov 10), which tells the story of Fanny Brice, starring Sheridan Smith as the entertainer par excellence from the West End; Alan Bennett’s Allelujah! witty, new state-of-thenation piece, a ‘rousing chorus line for the NHS’ (Nov 8, Dec 1) and La Sylphide, live from the Bolshoi Ballet on November 10.

Also on November 10 is the irresistible delve into the films of film giants Powell and Pressburger, who produced many outstanding British films of the 1930s to 1960s, including THe Red Shoes, Black Narcissus and A Matter of Life and Death, the course being given by film historian Ian Christie, professor of film and media history at London’s Birkbeck College.

Health & Wellbeing

by Denise Kelly

Tree-rific naturally good health benefits Today I am lucky enough to be writing this from the Blackwood forest, just outside Winchester. My son is on location for a modelling shoot for the day, so I bought my lap top along as there is always work to be done, and discovered a beautiful little cafe with wi-fi (always a bonus!) in the middle of the woods.

I decided to go for a walk first after parking the car, and it was breathtakingly stunning.

I have never visited this forest before, but I would highly recommend, particularly this time of year if you have never been. I took some photos but they really do not do it justice. Its one of those moments where you stand in the middle of nature and cannot believe the natural colours surrounding you.

THe forest is Hugh, so when you are in the centre, its literally a never ending wave of colours going further than the eye can see. Its a real feast for the eyes.

I never take these sort of surroundings for granted, and it just makes you realise all the

reasons we need these magnificent trees to be protected more than ever. From a nutrition view point, trees, have deep roots that can bring up nutrients from deep down in the soil.

In addition, their decomposing leaves become a free source of nutrient-rich compost. An over-abundance of short root

If you think about how it all started… from a tiny seed mixed with sunlight and water a tree, such as the California Redwood, can grow as tall as 40ft in just 20 years.

vegetation causes nutrients to actually wash out of the soil. THis is a particular problem in places where you get a lot of rain (e.g. here in Britain) which results in the soil becoming acidic and less productive. So for this basic reason, we need our trees!

Also, shrubs and under-storey plants such as blueberries, hazel and willow grow best in woodland areas. Meanwhile, many species of fungi, such as truffles, only grow in symbiosis with specific trees.

Trees also provide food, habitat and shelter for birds and countless other critters as well as fungi, lichen and microorganisms. In general, the older the tree and the older the forest, the greater the biodiversity there will be.

Trees do an amazing job of absorbing air pollution in cities too. THere are several reports from the woodlands trust, that identifies which trees are best for the job.

Unfortunately, urban trees have a much shorter lifespan than their rural cousins.

Once again, trees selflessly helping us out.

Of course, the one thing we all know is that trees provide shade from sun, and shelter from wind and rain. In urban areas, they cut down on the heat island effect and reduce the need for air conditioning. THis will also help reduce carbon emissions which is known as a positive feedback mechanism.

Maybe not always grown in this country, but trees provide us with so many delicious foods. THink about Lemons, oranges, olives, apples, mangoes, chocolate, pears, coconuts, cherries, maple syrup, almonds, hazelnuts, papayas, walnuts….just a tiny slice of what’s on offer from nature’s tree buffet.

Not only do they give us food, but they also give us medicine too. So many medicines come from trees, either directly or in their derivative form. One every day example that I am sure most people are familiar with is aspirin (salicylic acid) from willow bark.

THey also help increase resilience.

Greater biodiversity increases resilience to pests, diseases and non-native species as well as climate change. THink about the animals that live in a forest. Grazing stock and red deer do better in woodland

than on open hills as they have shelter and more grazing opportunities, helping them to breed better and live longer.

And what about the carbon and oxygen levels? Roughly 50 per cent of the dry weight of a tree is carbon. If we want to reduce atmospheric C02 we should be cutting emissions from fossil fuels, stopping the destruction of old growth forests and planting as many trees as we possibly can. Regarding oxygen, we’ve all heard the expression, ‘the Amazon is the lungs of our planet’. Some creatures, such as giant bugs back in the Carboniferous Period, thrive in a carbon rich atmosphere.

Humans, on the other hand, are partial to a little more oxygen! Trees breathe out, we breathe in, we breathe out, trees breathe in…its so beautiful.

If you think about how it all started… from a tiny seed mixed with sunlight and water a tree, such as the California Redwood, can grow as tall as 40ft in just 20 years. Iconic trees such as the baobob, banyan, Joshua tree, mangrove and Scots pine increase the richness of our planet and fire our imaginations and help to feed our bodies.

Trees also have played an important role in the world’s myths and legends.

THe Buddha was supposed to gain enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. A big old oak in Sherwood Forest was said to be home to Robin Hood and his band of men and the rowan tree is said to ward off evil spirits in the Gaelic world.

From a general health perspective, there have been numerous studies, which prove what most of us instinctively feel: walking in a woodland reduces depression, anxiety and high blood pressure. So what are you waiting for?

Peach of a wine is good value for quality tipple Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys martin.lury@me.com AS rockets diminish in the early November sky, I move on from the winter warmers of last week to six wines available at good old Sainsbury’s to adorn your wine rack.

I begin with a 2017 La Luciana Araldica Gavi on sale for £7.50. Gavi is produced in the misty hills of Italy’s Piemonte region and the Cortese grape produces crisp, floral, peachy and aromatic wines which are best enjoyed young. THis particular example oozes zesty citrus and white peach flavours and would be an ideal apéritif!

For an outlay of £8.75. the 2015 Signé Montagny, pale green gold in colour, hosts lemon and mineral notes on the palate added to a touch of flint and a hint of creaminess and is a great introduction to the elegance of white burgundies without having to overstretch your finances.

My final white selection is that of a 2016 McGuigan Founder’s Series Adelaide Hills Chardonnay currently on offer for £9. THe Adelaide Hills are one of the

cooler wine regions of Australia and grapes ripen in warm days in January and February, but the region generally experiences cool nights and this significant diurnal variation produces cool mean daily temperatures resulting in high quality wines.

Zingy lemon and stonefruit notes characterise this lusciously creamy and

flavoursome gem!

In terms of red wines, the 2014 Marqués de Montino Rioja Reserva on offer for just six readies is a bargain-buy and oozes ripe cherries and spice and is a delightful winter tipple - spice up your life (oops - reminds me of four hasbeens)!

For £ 7.50, the 2018 Argentinian Santa

PostStarter

Julia Malbec has cherry and plum flavours to the fore with a touch of spice and is good value at this price, but my final choice takes pole position this week in the form of a 2015 DV Catena Malbec which fully justifies its twelve pounds purchase price.

Community News & Views MONTEZUMA'S, the chocolate company, has provided the backdrop for an episode of a new Channel 4 documentary in which a group of children become chocolatiers for a week.

THe three-part Channel 4 prime time series, called When I Grow Up, follows young children from a range of backgrounds as they explore their own career aspirations in a variety of businesses.

A group of children, all aged between six and eight, were welcomed to Montezuma's head office in Birdham where a custom-fitted kitchen was provided to enable them to design, make and taste new chocolate bars and buttons. THe children also had the opportunity to work in one of Montezuma's shops serving customers and selling the chocolate they had created.

THe series, which takes the form of a social experiment, offered children from a wide variety of backgrounds and UK locations the chance to get involved in 'running' a real business over several days. THe aim was to provide a chance for the children to broaden their horizons at a young age.

Helen Pattinson, Montezuma's co-founder, pictured below with her husband and co-founder, Simon Pattinson, said: "THe opportunity to work with the documentary film makers on this project was really exciting - particularly as many of us are parents ourselves. We had a fantastic week with the children and their families - as they spent time with us developing their own recipes and seeing how we produce and sell our delicious chocolate.

"It was great to show them how we weave our beliefs and values into the way we run our business - from minimising our impact on the planet to how we treat our suppliers, customers and staff. It's also important to us to ensure that we do our best to develop the next generation of entrepreneurs so that British business - and chocolate making - continues to go from strength to strength!"

Filming took place in May, 2018, at Montezuma's head office and in the company's Chichester shop. THe episode featuring Montezuma's will be shown later this autumn.

VOLUNTARY groups around Chichester are flourishing, a recent survey has found.

THe information gathered by Voluntary Action Arun and Chichester (VAAC) showed the majority of organisations it contacted had seen their staffing, volunteer numbers and funding stay the same or increase in the past year.

A majority also reported an increase in service-users, closely followed by those whose levels remained the same.

THis repeated the result of the 2017 survey to mean most of them are supporting at least the same number of people with no noticeable increase in funding.

But the flourishing picture was accompanied by a number of challenges - also in common with the past two surveys.

Jenny Holmes, VAAC's senior admin and communications worker, said: "As in previous years, the majority of organisations reported funding and the need for more volunteers in their top three challenges.

"Other challenges that were reported included the need for new members/service-users and issues around the recruitment and retention of trustees."

Information gathered from the survey will be used to plan VAAC's training and events calendar for 2019 to ensure those challenging areas are included and organisations' needs are met.

THe survey was carried out to gauge the health of the voluntary sector across Arun and Chichester for the third year in a row.

Questions were also asked about volunteer recruitment platforms and the responses will be used to consider an alternative to the current website - doittrust.org "VAAC would like to say thank you to all of their member organisations that responded to this survey and they look forward to another year of supporting and promoting the local voluntary sector," Mrs Holmes added.

ASSISTANCE dog charity Canine Partners will be represented at Cuba’s Marabana Havana half marathon this winter.

Alex Leete, a 55-year-old who lives on the Costa del Sol, used to live in Graffham, just down the road from Canine Partners’ Southern Training Centre near Midhurst.

“I often used to see the handlers out and about with the puppies being trained,” said Alex.

“Having spoken to a few of them, we realised what a wonderful charity it is and how these dogs can change the lives of people fortunate enough to have one join their family.”

THe half marathon is due to take place on Sunday, November 18, where Alex hopes to raise vital funds for the charity that trains amazing assistance dogs to transform the lives of people living with disabilities across the UK, boosting their confidence and independence.

THe dogs are taught a range

THE DUKE of Richmond will light the Chichester Beacon on the top of Trundle Hill, as part of a nationwide chain of 1,000 beacons being lit on Remembrance Day to honour those who died in the First World War. On Sunday, November 11, a procession of torch-bearers will walk along the southern rampart of the Trundle to represent the 563 lives lost from Chichester, Lavant, Westhampnett, Singleton, East and West Dean.

THe Chichester Beacon, which will overlook the city and will be located just to

of everyday tasks including picking up and retrieving items, opening doors and undressing a person.

Alex has no specific run time in mind after spraining her ankle and being out of action for over eight weeks, but she is determined to take part in the race.

“It’s a case of my challenge now being to cross that finish line somehow but I’m fairly determined, some may say stubborn, so I don’t care how I do it,” she said.

“It doesn’t have to be fast and it doesn’t have to be pretty, but I’m going to puff and wheeze my way round and if it takes all day I’ll get there eventually.”

After working in the Latin American department of a large company, Alex fell in love with the culture and chose the half marathon in Cuba.

the south of the Iron Age hill fort on the Trundle, will be lit

by THe Duke of Richmond at 7pm.

Goodwood itself suffered tragedy in the First World War, as career soldier Bernard Gordon Lennox, son of the 7th Duke of Richmond, died in November, 1914, in the early months of trench warfare in Flanders.

His brother, Lord Esme, was badly wounded at Ypres.

THe 7th Duke converted his Scottish residence, Gordon Castle, into a hospital to treat those affected by the war, pictured above.

A letter to Chichester, THe Great War centenary commemorations reach their climax on Sunday, November 11, and, as Mayor of the city of Chichester, I want to make a special appeal to the citizens of Chichester about attending the Service of Remembrance at Litten Gardens.

THis year, our service, which is attended by servicemen and women, ex-service representatives, cadet, youth and voluntary organisations, as well as many hundred individuals, all with their own thoughts and memories, will be in a slightly different format to reflect the significance of the occasion.

THe city council has commissioned a special sculpture that will be located in a newly designed Garden of Reflection and Reconciliation located on the north side of Litten Gardens. We will also be dedicating a commemorative stone in remembrance of Lt Colonel Wilfrith Elstob, VC, DSO, MC of the Manchester Regiment who was born in Chichester and killed in action in 1918 and who was awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously.

We would ask that everybody is in place by no later than 10.55 am on November 11 as there is also something very special taking place in the adjacent New Park Road.

It is often said that on the 11th day at the 11th hour on the 11th month, the guns finally fell silent. THe Garrison Artillery Volunteers will be manning a World War One 18 pdr gun in New Park Road and firing a barrage of ten rounds in the moments immediately preceding the two minutes' silence.

THis simulation is of what it might have been like on that last day of the war, when, in counting down to the cessation of four years of slaughter, people are still being killed or injured up to the last minute, but then at 11am all of a sudden, there was silence.

I am equally sensitive there may be near neighbours to Litten Gardens and New Park Road who may find the noise of the gunfire distressing, as may their pets. I would assure you that this is a one-off event for the centenary commemorations.

THe order of service will be available on the city council's website, but if you have any questions about the service of Remembrance please do contact the city council staff at the Council House on 01243 788502, who will be happy to help you.

Yours sincerely Cllr Martyn Bell THe Mayor of Chichester

THE OWNER and operator of a Chichester care home has seen off the challenge of companies from a range of sectors to win a coveted business award supported by blue-chip sponsors.

Family-owned Colten Care, which runs Wellington Grange in Broyle Road, won company of the year at the 2018 Solent Business Awards.

Judges said the award, sponsored by KPMG, was made for “strategic thinking, an outstanding financial track record, a dedication to excellence and a dynamic approach to quality and innovation”.

THe company has invested strongly in professional nursing, dementia care, employee engagement, residents’ companionship, the dining experience, community links and the physical quality of its homes and gardens.

THe approach has landed top ratings from both care sector regulator the Care Quality Commission and the independent review site, Carehome.co.uk.

Mark Aitchison, chief executive of Colten Care, said: “THis award is further proof that despite all the negative national press about care homes, there are extremely good care home groups out there, of which Colten Care is at the vanguard.

“Our residents are the very heart of our business and we make sure they receive the best care and life experiences possible.

Reviews from them and their families and our regulator show we are the best care home group of our size, not only in the Solent but across the UK.” Nearly 300 people attended the awards ceremony at the Hilton Hotel at the home of Hampshire cricket, the Ageas Bowl.

Chichester Sailors of the First World War

By Pat Saunders, volunteer, and Amanda Rogan, learning officer, at the Novium Museum.

f HMS Hogue | Pic: Imperial War Museum (FL 13930) SEVERAL Royal Navy ships are listed on Chichester’s war memorial along with the names of the men lost from those ships.

Due to the Royal Navy’s supremacy of the seas up until the Great War there had been no major engagements at sea for over 100 years.

One of the earliest naval losses of the First World War was the armoured cruiser HMS Hogue, which was torpedoed off the Dutch coast on September 22, 1914. On board was Able Seaman Charles Ansell, who for many years had been employed by the city corporation as second lockkeeper on the canal at Birdham. He joined the Navy on the day war was declared. Charles Ansell drowned when the HMS Hogue sank. He left behind a widow and four children.

Leading Stoker James Hellyer was aboard HMS Good Hope when it sank off the coast of Chile, on November 1, 1914. All of the 919 men on board were killed. Another ship lost during the same engagement as HMS Good Hope was HMS Glasgow, which had Signalman Arthur Greedus on board.

On January 13, 1915, he wrote a letter home sharing details of the battle. HMS Glasgow had received hits from seven shells but managed to get away with no loss of life. He said they were near Chile to keep trade routes

open and to intercept German ships.

On November 26, 1914, HMS Bulwark blew up in the harbour of Sheerness, Kent, with the loss of 700 lives. Among them were Stoker Edward Cotton, Able Seaman Albert John Freeman and Boy 1st Class Edward Hanmore, all from Chichester. Edward Hanmore had joined the Navy in November, 1913, as a boy sailor. He served on HMS Impregnable, a training vessel, before transferring to HMS Bulwark. His body was never recovered for burial but he is remembered on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.

Albert John Freeman had joined the Navy in January, 1913, as a boy sailor and was 19 at the time of his death.

Many of the naval personnel from Chichester killed during the First World War lost their lives at the Battle of Jutland. THis battle, fought in Denmark between May 31 and June 1, 1916, was the only major battle fought at sea.

When HMS Queen Mary was badly hit by a German battle cruiser during the Battle of Jutland in 1916, she exploded and sank.

Among those from Chichester on board who lost their lives were Ordinary Seaman George Oliver Pratt and Stoker 1st Class William Turner.

Several other ships lost at Jutland had

HMS Indefatigable sank on May 31, 1916, after being shelled by a German battlecruiser which caused an explosion on board. Only three of 1,019 crew survived Chichester-born gunner Alan Broadbridge was one of the lives lost.

f HMS Bulwark | Pic: Imperial War Museum (Q 21052B)

Chichester men aboard. Signaller George Greedus (brother of Arthur, mentioned above) was killed alongside Stoker Bertie Arnell, Petty Officer Stoker James Bailey, Stoker Herbert Bennett, Able Seaman Arthur Hall, Able Seaman Edward Mills and Boy 1st Class Jack Smith when their ship HMS Invincible sank.

Aboard cruiser HMS Black Prince was Ordinary Seaman Harold Jupp, Stoker Henry Applin, Petty Officer Stoker Fredrick May, Stoker Charles Matthews and Private Alfred Ayling, all of whom were killed alongside the rest of the crew when the ship was

shelled and sunk.

HMS Indefatigable sank on May 31, 1916 after being shelled by a German battlecruiser which caused an explosion on board. Only three of 1,019 crew survived, Chichesterborn Gunner Alan Broadbridge was one of the lives lost.

One survivor of the Battle of Jutland was Stoker Frank Boxall. His mother, who lived on Parchment Street, was notified that he suffered burns during the battle and had been taken to hospital in Inverness.

Trustees – Sussex Arts Academy Sussex Arts Academy identifies, supports and promotes artists in the community to work with young people in schools and colleges. They support artists and schools to fund and manage arts and cultural enrichment programmes and also support artists to provide events for young people in the local community. They are looking for people to act as a Trustee for the charity and to attend regular Board meetings. They would ideally like to hear from people with legal or finance experience.

Creative Arts & Crafts Volunteer – St Wilfrid’s Hospice St Wilfrid’s Hospice Day Centre is an outpatient support hub where patients and their families and carers can access a range of activities and therapies. Patients can come to the Day Centre for a single activity such as a complementary therapy, exercise class or a creative arts session; they can come for a day and join in a range of activities or they can simply come along for a cuppa and some company. The aim of the role is to enable patients to be creative, to regain a sense of emotional wellbeing and self-esteem, so often lost during illness. They are looking for someone with a Creative Arts & Crafts background who is able to use their initiative to plan and prepare ideas and projects for a small group.

You will need to be motivated and able to motivate others to join in, have a positive attitude and have good listening skills. Once the art work is created you will help the nursing team to promote the work achieved by the patients and display the work around the Hospice for all to enjoy.

Sport 37

Blues banish losing streak in style PostSport as Cornish suffer Oaklands pasting CHICHESTER RFC head into a week off on a high - after a bonus point victory over London Cornish dragged them away from the London South One drop-zone.

It has been a season of disappointments for Scott Ashley's side so far with injuries badly affecting preparations at Oaklands Park.

A run of just one win in eight had left Blues adrift at the foot of the league table.

But Chi have now closed the gap after producing their best performance of the season to seal a 29-12 victory over the West Country exiles.

THe five point haul means Ashley's side head into a week off level with third bottom Chobham and one victory away from lifting themselves up to eighth.

Chi made three changes to the side that lost by a single point to THurrock last time out.

Ryan Spriggs came into the pack, with Josh Cameron and Stewart Ellaby on the bench.

Ben Polhill took over the captaincy from the injured Charlie Wallace.

Chi made the better start. After early pressure, Joe Woods dived under the defence to touch down after just four minutes.

Rhys THompson then capitalised on a

Cornish mistake, kicking a loose ball three times to outstrip the opposition defence, touching down to score.

Blues then scored again before the break, with Number 8 Chris Johnson crashing through two defenders and stretching out to dot down on the line.

Cornish came out after the break full of intent and narrowed the deficit to 21-5.

But Chi then sealed the all important bonus point. THompson sent Sam Renwick away on a looping run that took him outside the full back and inside the winger, for Chichester’s fourth try. A late penalty from Charlie Norton wrapped up the scoring and rounded off a convincing victory for the boys in Blue.

Chi return to action on next Saturday when they travel to Chobham (2.30pm).

-- Bognor RFC consolidated their fourth place position in the Hampshire Premier table after crushing Portsmouth IIs 81-12.

Byron lords it over Hayling 10 for a PB

f The Bognor Tone Zone squad at the Hayling 10

BOGNOR'S Byron Kearns led the way with a personal best as a cohort of Tone Zone runners did the club proud at the Hayling 10.

A fast and flat 10 mile race, the annual event sees hundreds of runners trek around the Hampshire landmark using the old Hayling Billy Railway line.

First home for the club was Kearns who finished 38th overall in a time of 1 hour 4 minutes to record a new personal best in his first year at the club.

Paul Jarvis and Duncan Stephenson Gill all finished reasonably close together, while Jess THomson split the pair to claim third in her category.

Grahame Hurren, Carl Bryant, Allan Coombs and Andy Miles showed great club camaraderie to all finish within two minutes of each other.

Helena Wilmers picked up another PB for herself this year by finishing in 1:26. Andrew Medlock finished in 1:31.

David Sinclair, Lisa Robinson and Daniel

Hughes all ran strong races to finish under the 1:45 barrier.

Flying the flag in the New Forest was Michelle Maxim. Maxim was competing in the New Forest Stinger, a 10 mile multi terrain event held in the National Park.

Despite the tough hill towards the finish line Maxim completed the challenging course in 2:06.

In a different part of the New Forest was Sam Yates, who obviously wanted more after last week’s race at the Beachy Head Marathon.

She was one of more than 200 runners to take part in the picturesque Oakhaven Half Marathon, completing the 13 mile course in a time of 2:30.

Tony Holcombe carried on his marathon running by running in the Meon Valley Marathon, an off-road marathon with over 700 metres of elevation.

Despite the tough course, the evergreen running enthusiast finished in a strong time of 4:25.

RUGBY: Bognor under-17s' impressive start to the season continued as they dispatched Fareham Colts despite a second half scare.

THe young Purple and Greens did most of the damage in the first half, scoring five tries before the break to take a 27-5 lead into half time.

THe home side responded - but Bognor stood tall to secure a 12 point win in what was a well-contested friendly.

THe visitors made the perfect start as turnover ball was shifted to Harvey Henson who sold a dummy and outpaced the cover to notch his fourth try of the season.

Man of the Match Alfie Spurle began pulling strings at scrum, half pushing the ball to Cellan Robinson who broke tackles before dotting down.

Fareham came back strongly, scoring a class try from a driving lineout.

Bognor, however, were playing fluent rugby and added three further tries through Owen Henton, George Orchard and Freddie Hayes.

THe Purple and Greens return to action on November 18 at home to Havant Academy at 1pm.

Former winners wait for Lions as Pagham's Vase run rolls on

f Chi launch an attack in their Vase defeat

Chi's focus is now the title TABLE-TOPPING Chichester City's sights are now set on league success after their FA Vase hopes came to a disappointing end.

Miles Rutherford's side have saved some of their best football for the national knockout competition in recent seasons, making it to the last 16 a year ago.

But hopes of matching that feat were ended by Hellenic Premier side Windsor FC, who beat City 2-0 in a tempestuous affair at Oaklands Park.

City, who are top in the SCFL Premier, had Dave Herbert sent off just before the break and were reduced to nine late on when Kieran Hartley received his marching orders.

After the match, Chi coach Danny Potter said: "We're disappointed but credit where credit is due, well done Windsor and all the best in the next round. We go again."

Chi made up for the Vase disappointment in midweek when they defeated SCFL Division One side Hailsham Town 4-1 in the second round of the Sussex Senior Cup. Matt Axell, Kaleem Haitham, Ellis Martin and Sam Ndlovu got the goals for Rutherford's side in what turned out to be a

routine win.

It means that City remains in three cup competitions with the RUR Cup and Peter Bentley Cup offering the best chances of silverware.

But, after two season of finishing in the top four, Chi's real focus is on trying to win the league title and secure promotion into the Bostik One South.

THey will face a tough test of the championship credentials tomorrow with a trip to old foes Newhaven (3pm).

THe Dockers did the double over Rutherford’s side last year and have lost only once in the league since the opening day defeat at Oaklands Park.

In Lee Robinson they’ve also got a player who likes scoring against City.

Five points separate tabletoppers Chichester and Newhaven who are in fourth place but with a game in hand.

THen, on Tuesday (7.45pm), Chi welcome SCFL Division One side Mile Oak to Oaklands Park in the quarter final round of the Peter Bentley Cup. Win against the lowest ranked side left in the competition and Chi could be left with a semi-final against Newhaven.

PAGHAM face a tough task if their march to Wembley is to continue after being pitched against former winners Sholing in the next round of the FA Vase.

THe Lions won through to the last 64 of the national knockout competition after a comfortable 4-1 win over fellow SCFL Premier side Peacehaven & Telscombe.

Early strikes from George Gaskin and Callum Overton put Pagham in charge before Scott Murfin and Overton again wrapped up the win.

THat sealed a trip to Wessex Premier side Sholing on December 1 with the winners just three matches away from the Wembley arch.

It was a good week for the Lions after they also progressed to the third round of the Sussex Senior Cup after a 2-0 win over local rivals Selsey as second half goals from Gaskin and Overton sealed the win.

Next is a rematch against Peacehaven at Nyetimber Lane tomorrow (3pm) - this time in the SCFL Premier - as the third-place Pagham put their unbeaten record on the line and try to keep in touch with the leaders.

THen there is a trip to basement side Eastbourne United on Tuesday (7.45pm).

f George Gaskin scored twice for Pagham this week

Sids size up two six pointers

SIDLESHAM'S step six status could be decided this week as Steve Bailey's side face two six pointers in just four days.

THe Recreation Ground side returned to SCFL Division One last season after lots of hard work on and off the pitch.

With a third of the season nearly gone, Sids sit 11th in the league and, on first viewing, appear on track to preserve their status for another season.

But that could change over the course of the next week as Bailey's young side play two potential relegation rivals.

First up is a trip up the A286 to play fourth bottom Midhurst & Easebourne at Rotherfield tomorrow (3pm).

THen Sids head to Crawley to play thirdbottom Oakwood on Tuesday (7.45pm).

Both opponents have nine points so far this season, four points fewer than Bailey's side.

With Sids not having played a match for a fortnight, the experienced manager knows his side cannot afford to be slow out of the blocks against two of their closest rivals.

Fellow SCFL Division Once side Selsey are two places and five points above Bailey's side

f Sids play their first match in a fortnight tomorrow

in the table.

THe Blues will hope they can build on that gap when they head to bottom side St Francis Rangers tomorrow (3pm).

Daren Pearce's young side have struggled for goals so far this season, But the Blues banished all doubts around their scoring woes when they hit Oakwood for seven in the Division One cup last weekend.

Selsey took a while to break down their opponents, waiting until the half hour mark to take the lead through Bradley Higgins-Pearce.

An own goal added to the tally before the break. THen, following the interval, Remi Coates grabbed a hat-trick along with strikes from Lindon Miller and THomas Atkinson.

With St Francis Rangers having the worst defensive record in the division, Pearce will be hoping his side can build on their seven star showing last time out.

In SCFL Division Two Bosham's slump continues as the Robins slumped to yet another defeat last weekend.

THe 2-1 loss to league newcomers Brighton Electricity in the Division Two cup means the Walton Lane side have now won just once in their last eight games.

Next up is a trip to another league newcomer Copthorne tomorrow (3pm).

With the north Sussex side just two places above Bosham in the table, the Robins know they have a chance to win just their third league match of the season.

Ladies lead the way as C&K head to Chi CHICHESTER City Ladies manager Aaron Smith praised his side for getting the job done after they jumped into top spot for this first time this season.

A 2-0 victory last weekend over Gillingham has taken the Green Army to the summit of the National League South Premier.

With bottom side C&K Basildon visiting Oaklands Park on Sunday (2pm), Chi are in prime position to extend their two point lead at the top.

Even though second-place Coventry United have a game in hand, Smith says he would rather be first than having to play catch-up.

He said: "We have done our job, we are up there now and have the points on the board while they have to catch us up. We're in the

best place to be."

A goal either side of half time secured the victory over the Gills at Oaklands last weekend.

Cherelle Khassal and Molly Clark both scored to record City’s eighth league win of the season.

Much of that success has been based on solidity at the back, with six clean sheets now recorded in 11 games so far.

Speaking after the match, manager Smith said he was "really pleased and really proud" for standing up to the pressure.

He added: "We spoke about it pre-game to make sure they went out to enjoy it and what they produced was a really professional performance."

Wasteful Rocks urged to take chances as Brad strikes again Next Game

WALTON CASUALS (A) Tomorrow, 3pm

BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce has praised young hotshot Brad Lethbridge as the teen sensation's goals have kept the Rocks afloat in recent weeks.

After beating Isthmian Premier leaders Tonbridge Angels away a month ago, the Nyewood Lane side have failed to win in six matches.

THat run has seen Bognor fall to sixth place in the league and dumped out of the Velocity Trophy.

It could have been so much worse though had it not been for Lethbridge's eye for goal.

THe youngster, who is on loan from League One side Portsmouth, netted his ninth of the season with a 93rd minute thunderbolt to seal a 2-2 draw against Leatherhead on Saturday.

Tommy Scutt had scored the opener for the Rocks who wasted a number of other good chances. But it was Lethbridge who took the headlines.

It was the second time in two weeks that the 18-year-old had struck late to rescue the Rocks - and boss Pearce says he hopes the teen striker can keep up the good form as the winter nights roll in.

THe veteran manager said: "We are grateful to have such a wonderful association with Pompey and it helps when they allow us to help develop a player such as Bradley.

"THere is no denying his ability in front of goal and he has proved that to our delight on

several occasions so far this season.

"We're known to play attractive football at this club and I think Pompey fans who haven't seen us play will be pleasantly surprised."

Regulars at Fratton Park missed out on a prime opportunity to see Lethbridge and his Rocks team-mates on Tuesday evening when the Sussex Senior Cup tie with SCFL Division One side Seaford Town was called off at late notice.

With the opponents unable to field a team, the Rocks have received a bye into the third round with the draw yet to be made.

Before that, though, are two tough matches in the coming days.

First is a trip to Southern Premier South side Walton Casuals tomorrow (3pm) in the second qualifying round of the FA Trophy, with £4,000 of prize money at stake.

With former Fulham and West Ham legend Tony Gale as chairman, expect plenty of grit and fight to come from the Surrey side who are also in step three and look to build on winning three of their last four matches.

Bognor will then return to league action at the Nye Camp on Tuesday (7.45pm) welcoming another Casuals side, this time Corinthian.

THe visitors are currently 16th in the 22 team division, having lost four of their five away league matches so far - something that could play into the Rocks' hands.

Tributes paid to Rocks fan Bill LIFELONG Rocks fan Bill Spriggs is set to be remembered ahead of Bognor's home match next week.

THe season ticket holder made his first trip to Nyewood Lane in the 1940s after his parents moved to the south coast from London.

He passed away a fortnight ago at home after watching his beloved side earn a 2-2 draw at Bracknell Town in the FA Trophy.

Club secretary Simon Cook confirmed the club would hold a minute's silence in Bill's memory before the home match against Wingate & Finchley on November 17.

He said: "We've so saddened to hear of the sudden passing of huge Rocks fan Bill. THe club would like to extend our deep sympathies to his family. He will be missed."

Members of Bill's family at set to come to Nyewood Lane for the match.

THey said Bill loved all aspects of the beautiful game, managing Felpham Colts right through from under 10s to under 18s.

His family said: "Bill has been a dedicated fan and has watched the Rocks through their ups and downs.

"His funny banter has kept his fellow fans in the stand entertained along the way. He will be forever shouting ‘Come on you Rocks'.”

f Bill Spriggs was a lifelong Rocks supporter

IT'S been an odd fortnight or so since my last Post column.

We have not got the results that perhaps we deserved on the pitch and I have been nursing an injury picked up in the second half of the match against Bracknell.

It happened in the last five minutes of the second half.

I kicked the bottom of someone's foot and the stud went into the top of my foot.

Very quickly it swelled up like a golf ball and I was struggling to put pressure on it. It was then that I told Jack I was really struggling and he took me off.

At the time I couldn't kick the ball and couldn't run on it.

But with a bit of rest I was ready to go again against Leatherhead.

I was lucky it was an impact injury rather than something with the muscle. With a muscle injury then by playing on you could tear it badly.

Because it was caused by an impact it was still quite bruised on Saturday but I felt able to just play on.

After ten minutes I perhaps wish I didn't as someone trod on it in the first ten minutes that hurt a lot!

I played on though and by the end when Brad scored that injury time equaliser it was OK to run across the pitch and join in the celebrations.

THat goal was unbelievable.

I've looked at the video again and he skins two players with one laying down on the floor as they just can't get near him.

THen he smacks it home with his left foot from 25 yards.

For someone who is 17 to do that is incredible. On reflection though, personally, I would say it was two points lost.

You will always struggle to win games if you give away goals like that. We also have to start putting chances away.

It's true that we have not won for a while now. It's no secret that we're low on confidence as we're missing chances but the good thing is we're still creating them.

When we do start scoring goals we will take the pressure off. We have seen already this season that when we relax we can win five, six, seven nil.

Blakey said the other day that the games we have got draws out of we could have won five or six to one.

But we need to shore up at the back and relax a little in front of goal.

It was a shame not to play on Tuesday. Robbie Blake dropped us all a note on the group messenger to tell us mid-afternoon it was called off.

When we are home I always prefer to play rather than train but it can't be helped.

Next up is Walton Casuals in the Trophy tomorrow.

We don't know much about them so we will work on a few things like shape on THursday.

Jack will have some info about how they set up which he will give us on the day of the game.

If we form up well then we could win the game.

THen it is back to the league and Nye Camp against Corinthians on Tuesday.

Should we be sixth? Maybe be a bit higher but it's not a bad place to be in.

THese draws we keep on getting away from home, especially the goals we concede, are really letting us down. If we can nip that in the bud, we can get a few more wins.

What we have got is a bit of team spirit which means we keep going which is why we get 93rd minute equalisers.

It will also be a weekend to think a lot as it is the centenary Remembrance weekend.

I found out the other day that my great grand-dad was in World War One. THat got me thinking that if it happened today then it would be us, all of us at the club who would going out there sat in the trenches.

For that reason it is important to remember those heroes.
