Could the city be car-free?

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A DIVIDED city council discussed the proposal of a car-free day in the city centre on Wednesday evening.

THe initiative was first presented to the city council by Parklands resident Mark Record in December, which appeared to be well received by councillors.

In February, Mr Record met with

county councillors, who also had mixed opinions on the event.

At the Chichester City Council meeting on Wednesday evening, Cllr Sarah Sharp said: "We are working with a lot of people. We have a meeting planned on May 20 with local residents associations so we can have a discussion.

"THis is all early stages of discussion but we are finding interest in this. We have not called on any public funds for this."

Cllr Richard Plowman said: "THe

feedback which has been given to me is actually that this is very impractical thing and in view of what is happening in Chichester, there should be nothing that gets in the way of supporting our economy and a Sunday economy in Chichester is important we know that.

"THis is very good but the feedback I have had is that it is not good and it is not practical."

Cllr MArtyn Bell said: "I think we need more research done on this but a car-free

day could potentially bring you more business."

Speaking to the Chichester Post, Mr Record said: "We have offers of help and involvement from a wide range of groups including Stagecoach, Chichester Music Academy, dance students and tutors and Chichester Cathedral, which is a very positive step.

"We are meeting on Monday at 7.30pm to take our plans further."

DESIGN Alex Katzenbach

"We are really pleased with our professionally designed logo and are now planning a competition for schools.

"Fortunately, a recently retired events organiser has joined our team, who has prior experience of staging similar events in the London borough of Westminster.

"Our campaign group has visited many shops and businesses around the proposed area for the event and most feedback has been very positive."

Mr Record believed that Chichester could follow in the footsteps of other European cities, which were leading the way in promoting itself by declaring the first Sunday of each month a car-free day.

However, as a trial the proposal is currently to join in on international carfree day on September 22 within the city walls.

A local group of over 70 people have already come together to support Car Free Days in Chichester and a competition which featured in the Chichester Post was held to design a logo for the day.

Key aims of the campaign are to reduce

pollution, make it more safe with fun places to walk and cycle by extending the heart of the city outwards and to help combat climate change.

THe winning logo was designed by Kenneth Dolman, a retired professional graphic designer, who said that he saw the competition in the Chichester Post and decided to take part ‘on a whim’.

He backs the campaign as a great way for people to enjoy the city streets without having to worry about cars.

Mr Record continued: "Stagecoach has offered to provide a bus parked up at the event that people are invited into to help promote public transport.

"THey will be able to re-program the destination display board so families can make photos of their kids sitting in the drivers seat with their individual names displayed on the front of the bus.

"We are looking forward to working on our plans over the summer months and hope that the result of our hard work will be a successful, fun and inclusive event on Sunday, September 22 which will BY KEL attract more people into the city centre." kelly.wickha For more information, visit: carfreechi. org.uk/ AVIATION e much-loved Saturday w insights into Tangmere mounted a mark the 50 Mail-sponso Air Race an involved for POLICE are looking for Christopher In additio Fahey who they would like to speak boards abou to in connection with a burglary at a film which jewellery shop in Chichester. using footag Pressley's Jewellery shop in North flown by T Street was targeted overnight on the Graham Wi January 7 and 8.

Transatlantic race pilots reunite at Tangmere museum after 50 years f Tom on the ladder of the Harrier (XV744) with Graham

f L-R: Mike Adams, Graham Williams and Tom Lecky-Thompson

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk AVIATION enthusiasts and visitors to a much-loved museum in Tangmere on Saturday were able to gain first-hand insights into a transatlantic air race.

Tangmere Military Aviation Museum mounted a temporary exhibition to mark the 50th anniversary of the Daily Mail-sponsored 1969 Transatlantic Air Race and reunited the three pilots involved for the first time in 50 years.

In addition to information display boards about the race, there was also a film which the museum has produced using footage of the Harriers in the race, flown by Tom Lecky-THompson and Graham Williams.

THe museum’s ‘Harriers and the 69 Air

Race’ exhibition was officially opened

by Tom and Graham.

Graham was the RAF Harrier test pilot who flew the museum’s Harrier XV744 (then configured as a GR1) from New York to London in the air race across the Atlantic.

He wasn’t originally chosen to be involved as another test pilot, Squadron Leader Mike Adams, who had been testing the Harrier with Hawker Siddeley, was to fly the London to New York attempt.

In February, 1969, three months before the start of the race, Mike had an accident at Dunsfold aerodrome while taxiing a Harrier when the nose wheel sheared off and he badly damaged his back.

He was out of the race and Graham was selected, even though he had

only ten hours' experience on type, to join Squadron Leader Tom LeckyTHompson as the RAF Harrier team pilots. Tom took over as lead pilot to fly the London to New York flight and Graham was to fly the opposite way.

Speaking exclusively to the Chichester Post, Graham said: "It's almost unbelievable. I'm looking back at 50 years ago and I feel almost lucky to still be around!

"It was great fun to do the race. It was quite a challenge. I always said at he time that I regarded it as a somewhat risky venture to do something like that in an aeroplane which was not even in service at the time. It was in development still but to go and do something like that and take off vertically from the middle of London to the middle of New York and vice versa,

was, I thought, pushing it.

"It was to commemorate the first crossing of the Atlantic by Alock and Brown in 1919. THey had all sorts of problems, they were lucky to complete it. THey had all sorts of failures one way or another. It was some achievement.

"I came to the museum when they first acquired the aeroplane. It is looking a lot better than when I flew it!"

Back in 1969, Tom flew XV741 from London to New York and achieved the shortest time. THis aircraft is now privately owned and has recently been reconfigured to GR1 standard by Jet Art Aviation Ltd with the extended wing extensions it was fitted with for the race.

Graham flew XV744 in the opposite direction and was emotionally reunited with the aircraft on Saturday as it is now part of the museum’s collection, having

been purchased from the Ministry of Defence in 2013 by the museum’s Society of Friends.

Graham was transported from the Empire State Building, New York, to XV744 in an open-top E-Type Jaguar sports car and for the exhibition’s opening two E-Types were loaned for the day.

Both attempts were successful, with Tom achieving the shortest time from the top of the Post Office Tower in London to the top of the Empire State Building in New York.

THe exhibition, originally planned to close on May 12, will now remain open until the end of July and entrance to the exhibition is included in the normal museum entry charge. For more information, visit: tangmere-museum. org.uk

` Hugging scam POLICE are keen to raise awareness of a hugging scam, after an elderly woman had her purse stolen from outside a supermarket.

THe victim, aged 88, was approached by an unknown woman as she got out of a taxi outside Waitrose in Via Ravenna, Chichester.

She was hugged by the stranger, who said “welcome to Waitrose”, and in doing so stole the pensioner’s purse containing cash and cards.

Investigations revealed the cards were attempted to be used at nearby Tesco Extra, in Fishbourne Road East, but the attempts were unsuccessful.

THe incident occurred around 2.10pm on Saturday, February 23, and police believe it may be linked to an organised crime group.

It is also possible other similar incidents have occurred which have not been reported.

Detectives are satisfied the woman previously pictured is not a suspect and she has been eliminated from our enquiries.

If you have any information about the incident, or if you’ve been the victim of this scam, please report it online or call 101, quoting serial 126 of 27/02.

Plans for tunnel are deferred again

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk PLANS to build a short tunnel under a footpath near the shore have been deferred for a second time.

THe application for Dolphins, in Rookwood Lane, West Wittering, was first considered earlier this year just over a year after a bridge at the same site was removed because it did not have planning permission.

Back in February Chichester District Council’s planning committee heard from applicant George Chapman, who raised concerns about the safety of his family as they attempted to cross the footpath, which is used by cyclists and runners, to get to a patch of foreshore land, which he also owned.

Councillors agreed to defer the application until more information could be provided about the status of the land and how the tunnel would affect the area, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

It was due to be discussed at a meeting on Wednesday, but was deferred again in order to receive views from Natural England. A site visit would also be conducted for members before it came back to the committee.

THe proposal included steps from Mr Chapman’s garden, running down to a 1.5 metre long tunnel beneath a public footpath, rising through to another set of steps to a foreshore garden.

It was originally questioned during the

Open Day

meeting if the foreshore garden actually belonged to Mr Chapman and members were told: “Our view is, on the balance of probabilities, it is garden land and has been for at least ten years. It’s part of the foreshore but is privately managed.”

Officers at the council had also originally recommended the committee permit the tunnel despite strong objections raised neighbouring residents, Chichester Harbour Conservancy and the parish council and officers reminded councillors that it did not matter what the reasons were for the tunnel.

Topping out ceremony for Westhampnett village hall

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A SPECIAL topping out ceremony was held in the village of Westhampnett on Wednesday morning.

THe event was held to celebrate the building of the new hall in Stane Street which parish councillors say they hope will be open in December.

THe community hall is located to the south side of the newly acquired village green in Stane Street and together the parish council say they hope they will provide opportunities for local people that have not been possible previously.

It is anticipated that once finished, the community hall will provide a large meeting hall with a properly appointed kitchen and toilet facilities.

THis could be used for the meetings of various groups that currently use the school hall and much wider use by the community.

As the population of Westhampnett will have doubled in less than ten years the need is there for such a facility for the parish. It is proposed that parish and outside groups will be able to hire the facilities, thus generating income for the community hall.

Resident, Pat Adams, pictured in the centre said: "My husband Henry and I moved here 50 years ago and we always said it would be nice to have a village

hall.

"Once all these homes went up, under the section 106 planning agreements, they had to give money to the community.

"It's ideal. It's not too big and not too small. Hopefully, the community will appreciate it."

Vice-chairman Jean Hardstaff said: "THis hall will make the community. At the moment there is no centre for the

community to meet or have activities. We have no shop, the local pub has closed, so there is nowhere for the community to meet.

"THis started in 2007 but we didn't have monies identified under section 106 available until 2013. THe largest tranche was from this site and we got that about 18 months ago which was when we could start building the hall.

"We have had interest from clubs,

fitness classes, martial arts, self defence, book clubs, sensory sessions and mother and toddler groups. We are hoping to have something for every age group.

"We hope to have the building complete at the end of August but we are anticipating the hall will be operational before Chirstmas."

For information on hiring the hall once it is completed, please email: howard@ howardhorne.co.uk

Tasting Room in city is a huge hit with organisers expanding already A CHICHESTER Tasting Room has proved such a hit in its first six months that its already set to expand with the opening of a second venue.

Sit & Sip Tasting Room has boosted the fortunes of local producers, whose artisan spirits and craft beers (some brewed at home) have found a whole new audience after being stocked by the venue.

THe Tasting Room is proving to be such a winning formula that owner James Mattingley is opening another Tasting Room in Wokingham, Berkshire, in early May. To mark six-months in Chichester, Sit & Sip Tasting Room will be revealing the secret behind brewing your own gin at home with one of its most successful local gin-makers.

James said it was always the goal for Sit & Sip to have 20 per cent of the drinks on offer to be local.

He continued: “I want to help these cottage industries to be able to bring their produce out and get them seen and their story heard.

“I don’t have a business without them. It’s a partnership that’s gone hand-in-hand this first six months and we are thrilled the people of Chichester have enjoyed discovering some new local produce.”

Chichester Harbour Gin is a family-run business which noticed Sit & Sip was opening in September last year and offered James a taste of their gin, brewed in the family’s garage in Emsworth.

THe gin has been a huge hit with customers ever since. Chichester Harbour Gin will be hosting a tasting evening where they discuss the background to their gin, and recommended ways to serve it, on May 2.

Martin Gilbert, who co-founded Chichester Harbour Gin with Paul O’Donohue, said: “When Sit & Sip opened we were brand new to the market and they were one of the first bars to stock our gin. We loved visiting Sit & Sip and sampling

the tasty CHG cocktails that they created.

“We have been so impressed by their innovative business style, whether it’s through their social media, events or ever changing menu. We feel it is has been a great addition to the city of Chichester, and feel privileged to have been involved right from their opening night!"

Sit & Sip is offering the chance to learn all about the story behind Chichester Harbour Gin at a special tasting evening on May 2 at 6.30pm.

Tickets cost £20. Call 01243 952280 or email: chichester@sitandsip.co.uk to book a place.

Coffee chain lose profits

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A COFFEE shop chain in Chichester has admitted to losing hundreds of thousands of pounds since removing disposable coffee cups from its premises.

Boston Tea Party, the first UK coffee chain to ban disposable cups, has lost £250,000 in takeaway coffee sales in the first year of the ban.

Although the Chichester store opened after the ban, and therefore has never sold coffee with disposable cups, the Bristolbased independent chain banned singleuse cups at all its branches from June 1, 2018.

Since the ban came into force the business has lost 25 per cent of its £1 million takeaway coffee sales. Customers have been asked to bring their own reusable cup from home, buy one or rent one from the chain using their cup deposit scheme.

Chief executive and co-owner Sam Roberts said: “We have lost £250,000 of our coffee sales since June last year. We felt that this was a financial risk we had to take to do the right thing for our planet.

We understood that not everyone would

be motivated by the ban, so we modelled the loss into our costs.

"As a business, we have a responsibility to consider our impact on the world and ensure we have a sustainable future.”

Since June, 2018, the chain has sold 40,000 reusable coffee cups and raised £12,500 for local charities by giving away the 10p saving from the cost of each singleuse cup.

Another Chichester coffee chain, Pret A Manger, recently reported an improvement from 1.8 per cent to 5 per cent take-up in their reusable cup discount scheme when they doubled the discount.

Mr Roberts believed that it was not up to the small independents to make the next move. He said: “It’s about big business helping to change behaviour. THere are too many huge chains not dealing with the problem, putting profits before the planet.

We urge customers to vote with their feet or to demand change to force the chains to take notice.

"We are absolutely happy with our decision. We remain 100 per cent committed and there is no going back.

THere is no planet B.” Chichester District Council accepts clean and dry coffee cups in residents' burgundy recycling bins.

STUDENTS from Chichester High School were given a demonstration in world class hospitality and catering at Goodwood to help facilitate learning for their vocational award study course.

THe visit, which was organised by the Goodwood Educational Trust, included a behind-the-scenes workshop with Goodwood’s Michelinstarred executive chef Darron Bunn and Farmer, Butcher, Chef restaurant manager Iris Stoltenberg, who previously worked for one of Britain’s most respected chefs, Raymond Blanc.

THe group of Year 10 students toured the kitchen to see first-hand how the chefs prepared for lunch and sampled some of the food served at the restaurant.

Goodwood executive chef Darron Bunn said: “THe students were so blown away with what we do here at Goodwood. You know they were very engaged because amazingly nobody bothered with their phone during

their visit.

"THe group were really interested in all the amazing organic home-grown ingredients that we use at Farmer, Butcher, Chef but they were definitely most interested in sampling some of the delicious food."

THe Year 10 students, who are all studying for a vocational award in hospitality and catering, were given a tour of Goodwood’s Home Farm to visit the pigs, sheep and cattle.

While at the farm, the students saw how Goodwood produced its own milk on the estate and were given the opportunity to bottle-feed milk to the new calves.

Established by the 10th Duke of Richmond in 1976 as a charity, the Goodwood Education Trust provides educational visits and workshops for groups of all ages, from pre-school to post-graduates to boost learning outside the classroom.

Junior mayor reaches for the stars at the city planetarium

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk SCHOOL children from St Anthony's school in Chichester were given the opportunity to be mayor for the day.

Matty who was the junior mayor was joined by his fellow pupils Dylan and Oliver and attended a variety of events throughout the day including a trip to the South Downs Planetarium in Kingsham Road.

Trustee and volunteer at the planetarium, Graham Bryant was on hand to talk to the children. He said: "It's important to have the junior mayor here because the planetarium has to reach out to the community.

"THe planetarium has to reach out to all aspects of the community. You have junior mayors looking at what society is doing and those links that you have within an organisation in the community are important so that they see them and what is going on.

"Also from a young person's perspective, just seeing what the mayor does is important because we all know the mayor and the councillors."

THe children were briefed by Graham about what the planetarium does and a little of it's history before they were whisked into the dome and shown a short presentation by Dr John Mason.

THe presentation included showing the junior mayor and his councillors some of

the stars they could see at night, all about the International Space Station and Chichester's own astronaut Tim Peake and a bit about black holes.

THe children started their day by meeting current Mayor, Cllr Martyn Bell and the mayoress, Toom Bell and were robed at the mayor's parlour in North Street.

Cllr Martyn Bell said: "I feel very privileged to be able to have the children all day. THe junior mayor and his two junior councillors have shown tremendous interest in everything ranging from a fire station visit to the St George's service to the planetarium.

"THey have been asking very relevant questions and I am very proud of them.

I think they have been great!

"I see a future mayor and I also see some future fire chiefs and you never know maybe some future astronomers."

Matty said: "My day was good. I liked going to the church. I liked the water at the fire station and I liked making a gargoyle out of clay. I had fun learning about space and the planets. I had lots of fun being Junior Mayor."

Alyson van Koolbergen, a teacher from St Anthony's school said: "We all enjoyed being part of the mayoral party for the day.

"THe boys were involved with many different activities and events throughout the day which kept them very busy! I believe these boys could all be future mayors of Chichester."

Special astronomer is remembered with a blue plaque at Selsey home

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A SPECIAL guest visited the town of Selsey on Wednesday to celebrate a beloved stargazer.

Queen's Dr Brian May visited the coastal town in the Chichester district to unveil a special plaque for Sir Patrick Moore on the anniversary of the first Sky at Night broadcast he did in 1957.

Held at Sir Patrick's former home, Farthings, the lead guitarist of the rock band, also an astrophysicist, led the small ceremony to commemorate the work by the astronomer.

Patrick, who died in December, 2012, aged 89, was an amateur astronomer who attained prominent status in that field as a writer, researcher, radio commentator and television presenter.

A convincing waxwork model of Sir Patrick stands near the entrance to the South Downs Planetarium in Kingsham Road which Mr Moore, a patron, spent a lot of money and time helping to get started.

Dr John Mason, from the Planetarium, said: "THe base of Patrick's largest telescope, a concrete circle, has been converted into a moon garden by the wonderful couple who live here, in memory of Patrick.

"It shows the phase of the moon on the night that he died. THat I think, tells you a lot about these people.

"Sir Patrick Moore was one of his kind.

I remember him saying 'I was there at the right place at the right time.' THat simply wasn't true, he was always the perfect person to do what he did.

"He was a real English enthusiast with passion and knowledge of his subject

and we just don't have many of them anymore."

Husband and wife, Teresa Desantis and Matt Davison, were looking for a house in Selsey and bought it from Dr May after they contacted him.

Teresa said: "THis house was sat here just looking at us. I found Brian and asked him about the house. I didn't know he was trying to sell it or anything.

"I think this means a lot to the community. We sadly didn't have the pleasure of knowing Patrick.

"He was a legend. I was watching him on a black and white set on midnight. We are honoured to be living in his house, you have to keep his memory going."

Dr May described Sir Patrick as a 'father figure' who inspired him to study for a PhD in astrophysics.

He had been a fan of the astronomer since childhood, when he begged his

parents to let him stay up late to watch THe Sky At Night, the show Sir Patrick presented for 55 years.

THe two connected in person after working on a radio play together, and later co-authored the book Bang! THe Complete History of the Universe.

Dr Brian May, speaking exclusively to the Chichester Post, said: "It's an emotional moment because it's a continuation of the influence that Sir Patrick Moore has on all of us. I'm very proud to have been part of his story.

"It's important to me to stay close to him. He meant a lot to me, professionally and privately and the man was unique.

"He was an enormous influence on my life and he is probably the main reason why I become an astronomer and he is definitely the reason I came back to astrology after 30 years.

"I had been travelling the world as a musician and he persuaded me that I could take up my PHD again and finish it off, which I did.

"Patrick's two wishes were that his pussycat was looked after and his library was preserved."

"We would have liked to have kept the house as some sort of visiting place but it just wasn't practical. I feel strongly that having thought about it seriously, Patrick would be happy with the way things went.

"We now have a wonderful family in the house who treasure his memory and a wonderful memorial in the garden. I think it's lovely. Teresa and Matt are dedicated to his memory, they really have treated the home with such reverence."

Ruby anniversary for loved cinema

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A MUCH-LOVED entertainment centre in the city centre is celebrating 40 years in business.

Chichester Cinema, at New Park, has started its ruby anniversary celebrations which will continue throughout the year, including its upcoming 18-day Chichester Film Festival in August.

THe cinema has developed from a film society in 1979, screening just over 40 films per year to students once a week, to a record attendance of over 76,00 in 2018 and 1,517 screenings a year.

Founder and artistic consultant, Roger Gibson, had the vision to offer Chichester and the surrounding area a film culture.

In 1979, cinema admissions in the UK were in a sharp decline and followers of 'art cinema' had to seek out regional film theatres for movies supported by the British Film Institute.

THe Granada at the Corn Exchange in East Street (currently Next clothing store) screened films from 1910 with their electric pictures, the 1,000-seat cinema joined by other venues including the Olympia Electric THeatre, Northgate, the Gaumont, Eastgate Square and the PIcturedrome, South Street (now an Iceland store).

When the last remaining cinema, the Granada at the Corn Exchange, closed in Chichester in 1979, Dr Gorrie, Chichester College of Technology principal, suggested creating a college film society Roger.

Roger began the Chichester Adult Education Film Society with Woody Allen's Love & Death on September

20, 1979, which will be repeated on the same date in 2019 with a party to continue the yearlong ruby anniversary celebrations.

In 1986, the film society moved permanently into New Park and the cinema installing a 35mm projector in 1987.

THis was a very stressful time managing various second-hand equipment but though 1986 and 1987, 115 films were shown over 103 days with admissions of 10,660.

THe name was changed to Chichester Cinema at New Park and was supported by a team of professionals and enthusiastic volunteers and committees, who, in turn, gave the go-ahead to Roger's ambitious plans.

In 1992, the first Chichester Film Festival featured 33 new films, the 27th last year showed over 150 films.

THe independent cinema has managed to survive the opening of the tenscreen Cineworld at Chichester Gate in 2003.

Walter Francisco was appointed general manager in 2005 and is in charge of the six-programme editions featuring over 300 films and Carol Godsmark is in charge of PR and marketing.

Chichester Cinema at New Park is the only independent cinema in the city, with over 76,000 coming to see a broad range of films from around the world.

Since moving to New Park Centre in 1985, tickets sold are just shy of 1.5 million.

THe future will see a second screen built at New Park.

Chichester Cinema at New Park is located at New Park Road, Chichester PO19 7XY. For more information, call the box office on: 01243 786650 or visit: chichestercinema.org

FREEZE YOUR FAT!

Got one of these?

Lose up to 40% of your ‘problem area’ for summer!

with cryogenic fat reduction

Sculpt your body Solent Medi Spa, 16 Westgate, Chichester PO19 6EU www.sculptyourbody.co.uk WITH summer round the corner, the race is on to get bikini-ready!

We’ve had our first, wonderful burst of warm weather and I’m sure many of you - like me - are suddenly realising that the days of large, forgiving winter woolies are gone!

Now we face the looming stress of donning our summer wardrobe and revealing our ‘winterised’ bodies!

While diet and exercise have proven inadequate for ‘spot reduction’ of our problem areas, science has come to the rescue! It all began in the most uncanny way: Harvard Medical University researchers noticed that children who ate lots of ice lollies had more dimples than other children. THey realised there might be a correlation!

And there is! After extensive (over 60!) clinical trials, it is proven that freezing kills fat cells!

Because fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than other bodily tissues, no damage is done to the surrounding areas.

THese studies show 85 per cent of people treated with selective freezing lose between 20-40 per cent of the fat cells in the treated area over a 12-week period. Add all that to the fact it’s safe, non-invasive and works with your body’s natural processes, and

50% OFF THIS MONTH

so you can...

Cryogenic Fat Reduction (fat freezing) reduces stubborn fat by 20% - 40%! you have a winning alternative to liposuction!

Almost three years ago, CryoSculpt UK opened in Chichester and is now based at THe Beauty Rooms, Westgate. THey tell me that most people will require two to three treatments in any given ‘problem’ area and - because it can take up to 12 weeks for the full effects to show - now is the ideal time to get ready for summer!

THey are offering 50 per cent off treatments for the entire month to encourage people to get ready for this summer.

Call CryoSculpt today and schedule your free, personalised consultation and treatment plan: 07926 907126 or visit their website at www.sculptyourbody.co.uk

Kate - a 50-year-old mother of two lost 1.5 inches from her tummy in just two treatments!

“I AM so excited by how effective they (cryosculpt treatments) have been - and how quickly.

I have lost an inch and a half on my tummy after only two treatments! I can't believe it, as my pooch has been the bane of my life since I had my children.

f L-R: Roger Gibson, Walter Francisco and Carol Godsmark

I just hated the way it looked in my clothes.

And even though I am my ideal weight and I eat healthily, it just always seemed to stick out! THe difference is huge and my boyfriend and I are amazed - I actually have a flat stomach now! And that’s saying something at 50 years old!

Sky needs a home

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A DESPERATE plea has gone out to find a new home for a loving Staffordshire bull terrier who has watched 50 of her kennel mates find their forever homes yet she still waiting.

Sky has been at the RSPCA Mount Noddy Animal Centre in Eartham, near Chichester, for eight months and she is their longest stay resident.

While other dogs have come in after her and found a loving new family, Sky still sits waiting patiently.

Susan Botherway, animal centre manager, said: “Sky is one of the most loving dogs you will ever meet, she is just so friendly and she adores having a fuss and giving kisses.

“THe staff here are so confused as to why she has been here for so long. She is a loving, affectionate and active dog who has so much love to give. It just breaks our hearts every time another day passes without someone coming to see her.

“She literally would be the most loyal

little friend you could ever have, and she would bring such a wealth of happiness and joy to the family who adopted her.

She is a little dog with the biggest heart.”

Sky is two years old and a Staffordshire bull terrier. She is insecure around other dogs and can be reactive so would need to be the only dog in the home.

She will need an active rural or semirural home away from towns and cities, that can provide her with the training and exercise she needs.

Sky knows basic commands such as sit, drop and wait but she would benefit from training classes to help further her skills. Staff are currently working on her lead work which will need to be carried on when she leaves the RSPCA. Due to her sad start to life, she can be quite nervous of new people to start with, but once she knows you she is a confident girl who loves fuss and attention.

If you think you can offer Sky a new home please call the centre on: 0739 5792891 or 01243 773359.

Charity abseil DARING Chichester College staff and students conquered the Brighton i360 – and raised more than £1,000 for charity.

THe fearless four – led by executive principal Andrew Green – abseiled 450ft down the British Airways i360 in Brighton.

THey were fundraising for Sussexbased charity RISE, a charity which supports people affected by domestic abuse in Sussex.

Andrew was joined by student president Sophie Sargent as well as Simon Brown, head of learning support and welfare, and student Adam Bradbury.

Andrew said: “It was an incredible experience.

“I left home on a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning, excited to abseil down the i360for such a great charity but as I drove down to the seafront, I looked up and the sudden realisation of how high it is was terrifying!

“THe four of us were excited and

nervous as we boarded our ride to the sky. As soon as it was my turn, my heart was pounding but I stepped back and over the edge, knowing there was no going back – it was such a buzz.

“It took about 90 seconds to reach the ground and it was brilliant and fantastic to help support those affected by domestic abuse, a very worthy cause.”

Sophie added: “It was absolutely amazing to experience abseiling down the i360 and we were really lucky with the weather. THe views were fantastic.

“When we were asked about getting involved, I didn’t hesitate. I’m a bit of an adrenalin-junkie, so I couldn’t wait to do it and to be able to support RISE, which does so much great work.”

RISE is the main charity being supported by staff and students at Chichester College this year, with various activities taking place which are aimed at raising money and awareness.

THe survey, which is completely confidential, also asks residents who have used the service in the past to share their experience and put forward any suggestions that could make the service easier to use.

THe county council has had the

responsibility for commissioning sexual health services since the transition of public health functions from the primary care trust to the council in 2013.

Amanda Jupp, West Sussex County Council’s cabinet member for adults and health, said: “THe provision of sexual health services is a very important aspect of public health’s remit, and I would urge anyone who has used these services in the past – for whatever reason – to share their views with us to help us shape services in the future.

“THis survey is completely confidential and your participation could make a real difference to those struggling to know where to turn to in their hour of need.”

Guide to autism is given to all schools in West Sussex TEACHERS will be helped to make informed decisions about protecting the mental health of autistic children in West Sussex schools thanks to a new guide.

THe evidence-based guide to anxiety in autism was launched on Wednesday and is being delivered to all the county's schools.

Cllr Richard Burrett, county council cabinet member for education and skills, said: "Every primary and secondary school in the county will have the chance to benefit from this exciting joint piece of work and engage in the new ideas presented in it.

"I hope it can help teachers to help young people manage their anxieties and live fulfilling lives."

THe unique guide has been produced

by City, University of London, and the county council's autism and social communication team.

It has resulted from the fact about 40 per cent of autistic children, young people and adults are believed to have at least one anxiety disorder.

THis compares to 10-15 per cent of the general population.

THe guide combines the latest research and practice for improving emotional wellbeing in autistic children.

Heightened and intensive feelings for fear can often be hard to identify as anxiety in individuals with autism.

THis is because it can present in an unusual way, such as excessive fear of specific objects or unusual worry about a change in routine.

THese can be dismissed as part of autism but, once addressed, it can greatly improve a person's quality of life.

Dear Sir What on earth has happened to Chichester? What was once a quiet, elegant market town, which was a pleasure to visit or live in, has now become somewhere where daily one runs the gauntlet of vile, verbal abuse.

Today, I was walking alone up North Street when I was accosted from behind by two youths in their late teens. THey began to taunt and verbally abuse me, the abuse escalating as I challenged the principal perpetrator.

Of course, I'm a woman in my mid70s with silver hair, so presumably am seen as an easy target for these cowardly thugs. Had I been a young, male rugby player - and how I wished in those moments that I was! - they wouldn't have dreamt of abusing me.

Needless to say, there were no police around upon whose assistance I could call.

Between anti-social cyclists threatening the safety of pedestrians on pavements and the pedestrianised areas around the Market Cross, and

such appalling verbal abusers as I encountered today, the streets of Chichester are no longer safe for older women.

THe Selsey event will take place from 10am to 1pm on April 27, with volunteers meeting at East Beach car park.

Sue Osborne, community support co-ordinator for Selsey Town Council, is part of the team organising the event. She said: “THis was a great opportunity to partner with other local groups and do something positive in the town.

"All equipment will be provided, and the Lions Club will be laying on refreshments for our eager volunteers."

` French mayor A LETTER has been received from Jean-Pierre Gorges, the mayor of Chartres to Cllr Martyn Bell, mayor of Chichester.

He says: "in such uncertain times in Europe, this twinning between our two beautiful cities is very important.

Your warm welcome makes me hope that between us, the bonds will remain strong."

City's twinning celebrations carry on

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk AROUND 100 guests turned out for a 60th birthday celebration in the city on Saturday.

THe event saw 50 members of Chichester's twinning association, THe Friends of Chartres, joined by 50 guests from twin city, Chartres, to celebrate 60 years of twinning between the two cities.

After a wonderful dinner at West Dean House on the first night of the visit, hosts and their guests made their way on Saturday morning to the Market Cross to watch a display by the Martlet Morris Men.

THe dance group has a long-standing relationship with the city of Chartres and has performed there on several occasions.

Bystanders joined the twinning groups to enjoy the lively dance display, which ended with the dancers escorting the mayor of Chichester, Cllr Martyn Bell, and the deputy mayor of Chartres, Patrick Géroudet, to THe Council House, where the mayor hosted a reception for the French visitors and their hosts.

THere were also 50 members of the Orchèstre d'Harmonie de Chartres who travelled to Chichester to join in the celebrations.

On the Saturday afternoon, they entertained everyone with a thrilling concert in the Chapel of the Ascension at Chichester University.

THe band took people on a musical world tour, ending with a rousing performance of Lord of the Dance, which had the audience on their feet clapping to the rhythm.

Members of the Chichester City Band also attended the performance, and a link has now been formed between the two bands.

THe celebrations culminated with a social evening at the Fishbourne Centre, where members of the Friends of Chartres took up the challenge of acting in French, performing a play written for the 60th anniversary by local playwright, Greg Mosse.

THe Friends of Chartres run a regular programme of French-themed activities, details of which can be found at: friendsofchartres.org.uk

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK

Happy as Lazzaro EASILY among this year’s finest films and a recent Cannes Film Festival winner, Happy As Lazzaro, follows a naïve yet optimistic 20-yearold farmer, Lazzaro, whose friendship with co-worker Tancredo grows on a large, isolated tobacco farm owned by the wealthy Marquise de Luna, Lazzaro moving to the city where reality changes dramatically.

THis Italian film is joined by Loro, "them" in Italian, about Us and THem – the ones who control everything, who have all the money, girls, drugs and seaside houses, those who have power – but director Paolo Sorrentino (THe Great Beauty) embraces the corruption, the vulgarity and the extravagance with a certain tenderness, rather than envy. Delight in Tony Servillo’s impersonation of four-time prime minister Silvio Berlusconi who had it all, for a time.

Catrine Clay, author of the novel on which THe Keeper is based, will introduce the German film on Saturday, April 27,at 5.30pm. From Nazi villain to British hero, goalkeeper Bert Trautman, his remarkable life from a former German POW to play for Manchester City is portrayed by David Kross and Freya Mavor as his wife.

Avengers: Endgame

Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi Screened at Picturedrome Cinemas FOLLOWING Avengers: Infinity war’s heartbreaking conclusion, what’s left of Earth’s mightiest heroes must rally together once more to undo THanos’ devastating actions. Despite the hard efforts of Marvel’s finest heroes, the Mad Titan succeeded in his plan to rid the universe of half of its population and the likes of Black Panther, Groot, Spider-Man, and others were turned to dust by THanos’ snap. Where there are still heroes, there is still hope. THis time, Iron Man and Captain America will need to put their differences aside for good if they’re to bring back their friends and family. Luckily, Ant-Man, Hawkeye, and Captain Marvel arrive to tip the balance. Explicit details about the movie’s plot are understandably scarce but we know Tony Stark is left adrift in space while the disillusioned heroes back on Earth put their final plan into action.

Avengers: Endgame will most certainly be the last time we see many of these familiar faces, to let’s hope the Russo brothers send them off in style.

Red Joan

Biography, Drama, Thriller Screened at Picturedrome Cinemas THE year is 2000 and widow Joan Stanley is living in contented retirement in suburbia at the turn of the millennium. Her tranquil life is suddenly disrupted when she’s arrested by MI5 and accused of providing intelligence to Communist Russia. Cut to 1938 where Joan is a Cambridge physics student who falls for a young communist, Leo Galich, and through him, begins to see the world in a new light.

Working at a top-secret nuclear research facility during the Second World War, Joan comes to the realisation that the world is on the brink of mutually assured destruction. Confronted with an impossible question – what price would you pay for peace? - Joan must choose between betraying her country and loved ones or saving them.

Hellboy

Action, Fantasy, Horror Screened at Picturedrome Cinemas HELLBOY is back, and he's on fire. THe legendary half-demon superhero is called to the English countryside to battle a trio of rampaging giants.

THere he discovers THe Blood Queen, Nimue, a resurrected ancient sorceress thirsting to avenge a past betrayal. Suddenly caught in a clash between the supernatural and the human, Hellboy is now hell-bent on stopping Nimue without triggering the end of the world. THe Descent director Neil Marshall brings a hellish reboot of the franchise based on Mike Mignola’s seminal graphic novels that places Stranger THings’ David Harbour into the lead role as Hellboy alongside a stellar cast including Ian McShane as Hellboy’s adoptive father Professor Broom and Resident Evil’s Milla Jovovich as Nimue.

After performing more than 100 shows around the UK, Australian Jason has added Bognor Regis as part of his fourth and 'very final' leg of his Amazing Midlife Crisis tour.

He initially achieved fame in television's Neighbours, before beginning a career in music in 1988.

In the UK he has sold more than 3,000,000 records including his debut album Ten Good Reasons, which was the highest-selling album in the UK in 1989.

A great musical tradition at festival Southern Cathedrals Festival July 18 -21 Wesbite: southerncathedralsfestival.org.uk A rich and varied musical programme will be presented at Chichester Cathedral this summer as it hosts the annual Southern Cathedrals Festival from July 18-21.

During the festival, an exciting range of events, performances and services will be held in the Cathedral and other iconic venues around the city centre.

THe Festival celebrates the friendship between Chichester, Salisbury and Winchester cathedrals and is a highlight of the musical calendar. It offers sacred choral and organ music presented both as concerts and within worship. Choirs of the three cathedrals can be heard in combination and individually; guest musicians offer performances in a variety of genres from English song to jazz.

At the Cathedral, three choral concerts take their place in the programme alongside four services (one recorded for broadcast by the

BBC), recitals, a performance by the superb West Sussex Youth Wind Orchestra, and evening entertainment in the Festival Marquee in the Deanery Garden.

THe Festival culminates in a performance of one of the great achievements of Western music, J. S. Bach’s St John Passion, in which the choirs are joined by an exciting line-up of soloists, and the acclaimed period-instrument orchestra ‘Florilegium’.

THe Dean of Chichester, THe Very Reverend Stephen Waine, commented, “We are delighted to be hosting this celebration of sacred music in the iconic setting of the Cathedral which has been a place of worship for 900 years.

We look forward to welcoming returning music lovers and encourage those who have not been before to experience this wonderful music for the first time.”

For a full list of Festival events and information on how to buy tickets, visit Cathedral website or the Southern Cathedral Festival Website: southerncathedralsfestival.org.uk

Jason is promising a tour with a twist and that these intimate evenings will be a unique opportunity to see him as you’ve never seen him before.

Celebrating his half century and with a wealth of tantalising tales under his belt, this autobiographical show will zigzag back and forth through his life, with stories about Neighbours, Ten Good Reasons, Kylie, Joseph, I'm A Celebrity, Strictly and much, much more.

THe audience will hear some new stories - and possibly one or two they’ve heard before - plus some of the songs you know and love for a special night of entertainment and memories.

A: I have occupied a studio at THe Courtyard for three years. THe setting and location afford me a great deal of joy and calm and I love to interact with the other artists who have their practices here. I also enjoy observing the changing seasons and the abundance of flora and fauna.

Q: What is a normal day in the studio like for you?

A: A normal day is usually busy. I arrive at my studio with focus and a clear vision of what I would like to achieve. Sometimes my day is punctuated by an invitation to lunch with Nicola and Terry from the adjoining studios, or a beer tasting with Adrian in his micro-brewery next door!

Q: How have you adapted the studio to assist and develop your artistic practice? What changes to your studio, that you are unable to make, would you make if possible?

A: THe first improvement I made was to put in a bench that runs the length of the studio which creates a great storage facility underneath. Apart from this fixed bench all other benches are on wheels in order to give flexibility to my operation. I have two large turntables,

one of which is central to the main workshop area. I have a meet and greet room which doubles as an office and kitchen, a gallery/studio and a workshop area.

Immediately outside the workshop door I have a hard standing which I utilise often. I also have the possibility to exhibit my work within the courtyard. THe outside tap is an absolute blessing when it comes to washing out moulds and mixing plaster.

Q: When you are creatively lost or frustrated how does the studio inspire you?

A: I keep the studio stocked with a variety of materials including modelling wax, clay, plaster, alginate, glass fibre, metal and wood so I can act immediately, if I find inspiration. I only need look outside to feel uplifted and creative. We have red kites circling overhead, deer meandering over the fields and pheasant pecking at the ground. A herd of cows kept me company through last summer too.

Opposite him, Liz White makes her Chichester debut as Joy Gresham. Her many TV series include Life on Mars, Ackley Bridge and THe Halcyon, while she has an extensvie portfolio of theatre work.

Celebrated writer Lewis, author of THe Chronicles of Narnia, splits his time between an ordered domestic routine at home with his brother, Warnie, and the academic rigour of his dispassionate, all-male Oxford college. His evenings are spent replying to his many correspondents.

One stands out: vivid, expressive, New York poet Joy Gresham. When she arrives in England with her young son, Douglas, everything Lewis believed to be true about life and love is thrown into question. And a relationship begins which will take them both to the extremities of pain and joy.

Health&Wellbeing Mindful ways to live your life well.

Do you have a thought you would like to share with others?

DENISE KELLY A passionate and motivated 'health expert/nutritionist.

Should you go gluten free? www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@ thewellbeingcompanyltd.com PEOPLE with certain medical conditions have very good reasons to avoid gluten, the gluey, chewy protein found in wheat, kamut, spelt, rye, barley, triticale and malt. But there are equally good reasons not to go gluten free if you don’t have to.

Reasons you should go gluten free: 1. To manage celiac disease. In people with this autoimmune disease, gluten triggers the immune system to attack the small intestine.

Even trace amounts of gluten can

cause significant damage. With repeated attacks, the small intestine loses its ability to absorb vital nutrients, such as calcium and iron.

Over time, people with untreated celiac disease can develop severe nutritional deficiencies, such as osteoporosis and iron-deficiency anemia, as well as other autoimmune disorders, extreme fatigue, infertility, neurological problems and, in a very small percentage of cases, lymphoma of the small intestine.

If you have been diagnosed with celiac disease, the treatment is to adopt a strict, gluten-free diet. THis allows the small intestine to heal so it can absorb nutrients properly, and reduces the risk

Even trace amounts of gluten can cause significant damage

of associated problems.

2. To control dermatitis herpetiformis (DH). DH is a form of celiac disease that triggers the immune system to attack the skin, rather than the small intestine. It causes a chronic itchy, bumpy rash that can be quite painful. A tell-tale sign of DH, besides the fact that it shows up after eating gluten, is that the rash is usually symmetrical. If you develop a rash on your left elbow, you’ll most likely have a similar rash on the right elbow. If people with DH continue to eat gluten, they also may run an increased risk of developing intestinal cancer.

Once diagnosed, however, people with DH are usually highly motivated to stick with a gluten-free diet to steer clear of these painful rashes.

3. To reduce symptoms of gluten sensitivity.

Unlike celiac disease and DH, gluten sensitivity is not an autoimmune disease. It’s more like lactose intolerance. THe inability to process or metabolize lactose – except that it’s gluten that can’t be metabolised.

People with gluten sensitivity experience gastrointestinal distress – ranging from diarrhoea, gas and bloating to constipation and irritable bowel symptoms – when they eat gluten. (People with celiac disease, on the other hand, may experience these symptoms, or may have no symptoms at all.)

With gluten sensitivity, it doesn’t appear to be as critical to long-term health to avoid gluten – it’s more a matter of choice to avoid symptoms.

THe occasional slice of pizza may cause some short-term digestive discomfort, but it isn’t believed to increase the risk of serious long-term consequences.

Reasons not to go gluten free: 1. To eat healthier. Don’t give up gluten because you think it’s a healthier way to eat. Unless you have to go gluten free to manage a medical condition, it isn’t. Carbohydrates should make up to nearly half of a healthy diet, and that’s where gluten is found. Cutting out wheat, rye, barley and the other grains that provide gluten eliminates some of the key sources of complex carbohydrates needed in a balanced diet.

Also lost are the fibre, B vitamins and foliate found in carbohydrates, as well as the iron, calcium and vitamin D provided by fortified breads and cereals.

Gluten-free breads, cereals and crackers may help you fill the void, but they tend to be lower in fibre, are generally not fortified, and often contain more sugar and fat to make up for the texture and flavour that are lost when gluten is left out. Yes, you can take supplements to replace some of the lost nutrients, but people tend to absorb nutrients best when they come from food.

2. To lose weight. A desire to lose weight is the wrong reason to go gluten free. As you may have seen with numerous fad diets, anyone can lose weight when cutting an entire food group from their diet – the trick is how to keep it off once the food restriction gets old.

A gluten-free diet is not easy to stick with, it’s expensive and it puts you at risk of missing out on important nutrients. THere are far healthier and easier ways to lose weight. Start by making fruits and vegetables over half of every meal, using a smaller plate, and reducing the number of calories you sip in the form of fizzy drinks, milky tea and coffee drinks, sports drinks and sugar rich juices.

THese are healthy habits that you can adopt easily and maintain for life.

3. To try to diagnose your own symptoms. If you think you may have celiac disease, DH or gluten sensitivity, don’t go gluten free on your own to try to find out. It’s important to see a professional for an accurate diagnosis while you are still eating a normal diet.

THese are the most common ways to test for celiac disease: 1. Blood test. A blood test will look for antibodies that incorrectly interact with the gluten protein.

THe most common test is a tTG-IgA test.

2. Biopsy from your small intestine. People with a positive blood test will likely need to have a biopsy.

THis is a process in which a small tissue sample is taken from your intestine and checked for damage.

Foods you can eat: • Meats and fish. All meats and fish, except battered or coated meats.

• Eggs. All types of eggs are naturally gluten-free.

• Dairy. Plain dairy products, such as plain milk, plain yogurt and cheeses. However, flavoured dairy products may have added ingredients that contain gluten, so you will need to read the food labels.

• Fruits and vegetables. All fruits and vegetables are naturally free of gluten.

• Grains. Quinoa, rice, buckwheat, tapioca, sorghum, corn, millet, amaranth, arrowroot, teff and oats (if labeled gluten-free).

• Starches and flours. Potatoes, potato flour, corn, corn flour, chickpea flour, soy flour, almond meal/flour, coconut flour and tapioca flour.

• Nuts and seeds. All nuts and seeds.

• Spreads and oils. All vegetable oils and butter.

• Herbs and spices. All herbs and spices.

• Beverages. Most beverages, except for beer (unless labelled as gluten-free).

Completely avoiding gluten can be challenging because it is found in many common ingredients that are added to foods.

THese are the main sources of gluten in the diet: • Wheat-based foods like wheat bran, wheat flour, spelt, durum, kamut and semolina • Barley • Rye • Triticale • Malt • Brewer’s yeast THese are some examples of foods that may have ingredients containing gluten added to them: • Bread. All wheat-based bread.

• Pasta. All wheat-based pasta.

• Cereals. Unless labeled gluten-free.

• Baked goods. Cakes, cookies, muffins, pizza, bread crumbs and pastries.

• Snack foods. Sweets, muesli bars, crackers, pre-packaged convenience foods, roasted nuts, flavoured crisps and popcorn, pretzels.

• Sauces. Soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, marinades, salad dressings.

• Beverages. Beer, flavoured alcoholic beverages.

THe easiest way to avoid gluten is to eat unprocessed, single-ingredient foods, otherwise you should read the food labels of most foods you buy.

Oats are naturally gluten free, however they are often contaminated with gluten, as they might be processed in the same factory as wheat-based foods. Keep as natural as you can!

'Pub grub' well above average at venue close to sea

By Alicia Denny De Levante, Victoria Court, 24 St Pancras, Chichester PO19 7LT 01243 788700 INFO@DELEVANTE.CO.UK THE TERM 'pub grub' covers a wide range of food but the offering at THe Pond Barn at Bracklesham is certainly well above the average.

THere's still the warmest of welcomes from friendly staff but a bright, fresh new look after a revamp adds to a positive first impression after crossing the garden with its large, picturesque pond which is a haven for wildlife most of the year.

A new menu,too, is full of temptation and variety with changing specials, everything freshly made on the premises, meat and fish mostly from nearby suppliers, vegetarian and vegan options, smaller meals for pensioners and a children's menu but the popular Sunday carvery has been retained.

Being a bar, a good choice of beers and spirits is on offer as well as red, white and rose wines by the glass or bottle. On the

day we visited, as I was driving, I stuck to lemonade while my husband enjoyed a pint of Seafarer bitter.

Following a warm welcome from manager Dean, who guided us through the many specials available as well as the standard menu, we decided to forego starters in the interests of both having desserts, all of which, like everything else coming out of the Pond Barn's kitchen, are made on the premises.

Emphasising the pub's position within sound of the sea, the standard mains menu includes a tempting seafood platter, and scampi or battered fish and chips, while mussels were on the specials board when we visited. Other specials were bubble and squeak with ham and egg, turkey, ham and leek pie and a beef Madras curry plus four varieties of burger.

Vegans can enjoy a butternut squash and chick pea curry while carnivores can try a hunters' chicken or the steak of the day.

Steaks are sourced from one of the

independent nearby butchers, either rump or ribeye, and I was delighted with my choice of a succulent ribeye, served with a generous portion of standard chips, tomato, mushroom and peas.

My husband always loves mussels available as either a small portion or a main - and instantly chose the classic moule marinaire with a couple of dozen shellfish cooked in a smooth, wellflavoured garlic, cream and parsley sauce.

We were told mussels cooked in Spanish-style tomato-based sauce and a

THai-style one with cream and coconut are also popular.

Accompanied by crusty bread, plus a few of my chunky chips, the mussels were an undoubted hi t.

With their excellent presentation and melt-in-the-mouth sweetness, our desserts of bakewell tart and an unusual

chocolate and apricot bread and butter pudding were also top of the hit parade - a fitting metaphor for a pub which regularly has live music, DJs and karaoke as part of its entertainment offering as well as big screen TVs, darts and pool.

Chichester eating-out scene.

Although there is a menu of main courses and pasta dishes, including child-size portions, most people go to enjoy the choice of freshly-made tapas, a number of which have a Middle Eastern slant as well as traditional Spanish dishes.

A tapas banquet for four people at £19.50 is popular for groups with a selection across the menu but my husband and I, with help from Beyhan, settled in comfortable chairs, made our own choices from the vegetarian, meat and chicken, and fish and seafood sections, washed down with a house white pinot grigio and a lemonade.

Spanish artefacts and murals adorn the refreshed walls and gentle guitar music adds to the laidback setting where Beyhan plans to hold regular Flamenco-type events when the restaurant is fully established.

vegans can enjoy a variety of 15 options and we plumped for champignons al ajillo (mushrooms), zazilki - a Greekstyle yoghurt - and pimentos rellenos, which was an oven-baked sweet red pepper stuffed with spinach in a cheese sauce. THe chefs are happy to adjust ingredients for dietary requirements on request, a typical example of the warm and pleasant attitude of all the team.

For meat tapas, we added pollo Marbella, which was pan fried chicken with chorizo, onion and peppers in a creamy paprika sauce, then the succulent chef's special prawns in sauce.

Luckily, there was enough ciabatta to mop up the flavoursome sauces and, feeling pleasantly full but not overstuffed, I was able to enjoy a moist, light tiramisu from the list of home-made desserts.

But as Beyhan said: "Seeing is deceiving, tasting is believing." And De Levante is a worthy successor to the legacy of El Castizo.

Taco Bell Unit R1B Chichester Gate Leisure Park, Chichester, PO19 8EL Tel: 01243 537855 ALTHOUGH the United States is home to all things fast food, there is an awful lot more on offer than burgers - Mexican, for instance, and Taco Bell is opening more outlets in the UK to satisfy demand.

One of these is at Chichester Gate, nestled handily opposite the bowling alley and close to the cinema complex for those inevitable munchies before or after an outing but the great value menu of spicy wraps, tacos, burritos

and more appeals to families, students and anyone looking for a quick snack or lunch, too.

Students have the benefit of a 15 per cent discount but prices are reasonable for all, especially the meals, such as the Big Bell Box, which includes a fajita burrito, taco, nachos or fries, a soft drink and churros with sauce.

THere's the option to choose from beef, Mexican chicken, south-western chicken, pork or refried beans for the main burrito filling.

A double crunch wrap makes a change from the softer tacos while vegetarians are not forgotten with one choice being a seven-layer burrito.

Regarding the level of spice in each meal, staff are happy to advise or adjust ingredients to suit customers' tastes and, for the adventurous, there's the Volcano Burrito, complete with Lava Sauce.

Tuptim Siam

By Katherine Denny 6-7 The Esplanade, Bognor Regis PO21 1NY 01243 862525 www.tuptimsiam.co.uk A SHORT stroll past THe Steyne in Bognor Regis will bring you to the door of Tuptim Siam and the warm welcome of THai authenticity.

As we were being seated for lunch, the couple at the next table were putting their coats on to leave and merrily assured us we’d enjoy our meal. THeir good wishes clearly weren’t unfounded as we heard the gentleman at the table behind explain that he hadn’t had dinner the night before so he could order two main meals.

THe extensive menu was enough to tempt us to over-order, too, though we sensibly began with a platter of mixed starters to share. We expected the standard selection of enjoyable but often boughtin and forgettable chicken satay sticks, crab cakes and spring rolls with the obligatory sweet chilli dip. Instead, we received truly restaurant quality morsels, brought to the table by executive chef Kit Khunia who delighted in explaining which of the five freshly made sauces complemented each food.

Like all good chefs, Kit began cooking at a young age with his mother. At the age of ten he was promoted from carrying and washing up to actual cooking and by 12 he became her official taste tester. His professional career followed a similar trajectory, working his way up through cheffing positions to come full circle as a taster in Mayfair restaurants and five star hotels.

Reina Kitchen

By Alicia Denny 11/12 Market Road, Chichester PO19 1JW Tel: 01243 788717 www.reinakitchen.co.uk ALTHOUGH it only has been opened for a few weeks, the owners spent months converting the former shop into a smart, bright comfortable venue, which has the unusual feature of an open cooking area where customers can see chefs at work at the barbecue-type grill.

As three of us were dining, we were able to sample a number of dishes with choices guided by the smiling and helpful staff, although the menu also gave good descriptions for people

who are unfamiliar with Turkish cuisine.

My lamb shank was a substantial piece of deliciously tender meat, which fell off the bone, while the shish was equally succulent but with slightly more of a kick, an acknowledgement of the restaurant's use of herbs flown in from an organic farm in Turkey.

THe shank was served as a casserole with carrots and small potatoes, the shish had a delicate yogurt and lemon sauce while bulgar wheat and salad were served alongside.

Although we were probably too full for dessert, we made an effort to try wonderfully crispy yet soft baklava accompanied with a superb raspberry sorbet and vanilla ice cream.

Turkish wine is available and Reina Kitchen is making a feature of its cocktails.

` The Lamb Inn, Pagham Address: 144 Pagham Rd, Nyetimber Phone: 01243 262168

Sophisticated modern dining in an 1860’s Farmhouse setting We visited The Lamb Inn at Pagham on a beautiful autumnal evening. The sign outside proudly proclaims it as a ‘A Quality Inn’ dating back to 1860. Parking was thankfully easy, as there is ample room outside for several cars.

The restaurant interior has a stylish, uncluttered, spacious, yet rustic appearance, with two original open fireplaces, and wooden tables of varying sizes, bare and simply laden with candle and condiments.

We chose all of our options from the regular weekday menu. Starters average just under £7, and main courses from £11.50 for the fish and chips to £23.50 for the aged fillet steak.

Magda, our waitress, soon arrived with our starters, one resplendent with spare ribs, scattered with sesame seeds, in a hoi sin glaze sat on a bed of bean sprouts.

They were cooked to perfection, the tender meat fell off the bone, with a crunchy zing and a flash of ginger heat, emanating from the accompanying spring onion and pickled ginger salad. My starter, squid

cakes, presented with a light brown sautéed coating, revealing a soft moist filling inside of succulent little chunks of juicy squid, flavoured with tiny, yet fiery red chillis which gave quite a kick, beautifully complimented by the accompaniment of chili vinegar, lending a dash of pungent sweetness.

Wine starts at around £13.50 a bottle, there is a varied and erudite selection of wines, but the list includes a very helpful taste guide to assist the diner in making their selection.

For the main course my companion chose one of the Lamb’s specials - deep fried ale battered fish and chips. The fish, a handsome golden batter encasing clean fresh white flaky cod was perfectly cooked.

Chunky chips and a piquant lemony homemade tartar sauce to dip, made for a simple traditional dish, perfectly executed.

My seared calves’ liver was impressive, thin, delicate slices of liver, neatly resting on a pillow of buttery mashed potato, and embellished with a most delectable shallot and red wine jus, topped off with two pink bacon rashers. The combination of the

delicate melt in the mouth liver, salty bacon, rich sauce and fluffy potato was a complete joy.

But would we have room for pudding?

Yes! My companion opted for the chocolate brownie with ginger ice cream, while I went for the sticky toffee pudding with vanilla.

The rich rectangular chocolate brownie, was dark and luscious with a crunchy outer and a gooey rich middle with a nutty texture, paired beautifully with the ice cream with tiny pieces of whole ginger in it.

My sticky toffee pudding was sublime.

The sticky, dark brown pudding itself was scrumptious; warm, thick, yielding to the spoon, with a rich toffee flavour, in a moat of creamy butterscotch sauce, crowned with

sweet, cold vanilla ice cream. We were in pudding paradise!

The Lamb Inn is for the sophisticated diner who appreciates imaginative and creative dishes, in a simple, comfortable and authentic traditional pub style setting.

The food speaks for itself, high quality ingredients, skilfully cooked, prepared and presented, and served by friendly and attentive waiting staff. Don has been the owner of the Lamb Inn for the past ten years and has a vast wealth of experience and knowledge of the catering trade - and it shows. Thanks to everyone at The Lamb Inn for wonderful food and exceptional hospitality.

NEWS RSPCA Sussex Chichester and District Branch is expanding its essential shops empire with a fifth premises that will fully support Mount Noddy Animal Centre. Due to open mid to late May at 70 High Street, Littlehampton, this beautiful building was previously well known as the HSBC Bank.

Clare Palmer, business and income generations manager for the branch, is overseeing the project. She oversees all the shops, located at Bognor Regis, Chichester, Worthing and Horsham.

She said: "We are very excited to be taking over this iconic building in the town, to help raise much needed funds and awareness for our self-funded animal centre.

"We absolutely cannot do without the kindness and support of the public to keep our shops running, and the funds raised help to re-home more dogs and cats on behalf of the public and RSPCA. "Our shops all have a boutique feel, offering carefully selected donated items from the public. We also accept items not deemed good enough to sell and can raise thousands more pounds each year through the ragging scheme. We will have vacancies for volunteers too, to donate their time for a few hours per week in the shop, with full support given.

"As a nod to the old bank, we are giving the decor a unique interior which will stand us in line with other high street retailers at minimal cost."

THe shop is now accepting donations and volunteer applications, and Clare is on site most weekdays to welcome interested people to have a chat.

Clare, who lives in the town, added: "We look forward to meeting supporters old and new in Littlehampton, and making our mark on the high street."

As Dr David Stent, visual arts programme leader, explained: “THis exhibition provides an exciting opportunity to acquire drawings, textiles, prints, sculpture and ceramics from emerging and early career artists, ahead of their summer shows, at affordable prices.

“THe exhibition will showcase work from students currently studying on the graduate and masters programmes, as well as works from alumni and staff. THe works available to buy will offer a glimpse at the range of techniques available to students at West Dean, including ceramics made in the pottery workshop, screen prints, etchings and mono-prints made in the dedicated print room, and textiles made by students who get the opportunity to undertake a ten-week introduction to hand-woven tapestry. In addition, visitors will be invited to tour the visual arts studios and see work in progress ahead of their summer show.”

THe revenue raised from the sale of the work will go towards funds for the West Dean summer show at West Dean July 6–12, and, for the first time, at SALT Gallery in Margate - just a stone’s throw from Turner Contemporary.

THe exhibition is taking place on Saturday, May 4, and Sunday, May 5, 10am–5pm at THe Auditorium, West Dean College of Arts and Conservation.

Entry is free to Line and Form 2019 and there is free parking.

THE UNIVERSITY of Chichester is in mourning after the death of Professor William (Bill) Gray, who died at home on Monday, April 8, after a long illness.

Prof Gray – known as Bill – had taught at the University of Chichester for nearly 35 years, becoming Professor of Literary History and Hermeneutics, when he had to retire from university life at the end of 2016 after an unexpected and serious stroke.

He began his academic life as a student at Christchurch, Oxford. After a further year at Princeton and then Edinburgh, he went to teach at Chichester where his varied interests led him to publish biographies of C.S. Lewis and Robert Louis Stevenson; three books on fantasy: Fantasy, Myth and the Measure of Truth: Tales of Pullman, Lewis, Tolkien, MacDonald and Hoffmann; Death and Fantasy; and Fantasy, Art and Life; edited collections of essays on C.S. Lewis and Mervyn Peake; and a collection of fairy tales from around the world.

A volume of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Fables, for which Bill went back to the original manuscripts to present Stevenson’s work as he had originally intended, is due out in the New Edinburgh Edition of the Collected Works of Robert Louis Stevenson soon.

Bill began teaching in religious studies before moving into the department of English. He founded the Sussex Centre for Folklore, Fairy Tales, and Fantasy as a research centre at the university in 2009. THe impact of the centre has given a well-esteemed boost to research across genres, attracting an international editorial board of some repute and a wide list of contributors.

Messages of condolence and sympathy have been sent to Bill’s family from colleagues, researchers, authors, former students and fairy-tale fans, deeply saddened by the loss of such a brilliant scholar and a kind, supportive teacher who was an inspiration to so many.

A memorial service is being arranged for 2pm on Saturday, May 25, at the University of Chichester’s Chapel, on its Bishop Otter campus in College Lane.

If you knew Bill, and would like to attend the service, please RSVP to Heather Robbins at: h.robbins@chi.ac.uk

RESIDENTS of a Chichester care home enjoyed Easter bonnets, an egg hunt and chocolate galore during a visit from local nursery children.

Colten Care’s Wellington Grange in Broyle Road hosted little ones from THe Cooperative Childcare nursery.

Companionship team leader at the home, Kay Vevers, said: “THe residents and children took advantage of our beautiful gardens and went on an Easter egg hunt together, cheekily eating the eggs as they went!

“THe children also paraded in the Easter bonnets they had made. But they were so good that our residents couldn’t choose an outright winner, so everyone was given an Easter

egg to take home and have after their tea.”

THe nursery children are becoming regular visitors to Wellington Grange, having celebrated World Book Day with residents last month.

Resident Bunny Storrar joined in the hunt for chocolate treats.

She said: “THe children were quite delightful and looked very sweet in their bonnets.

“It’s lovely to have little people chatting and laughing and we have such fun together.

"Having them here made our day.”

It won’t be long before the children visit again - the home has invited them to a teddy bears picnic in June.

A SPECIAL event is being held in the district to help married couples pass on their used wedding items.

On Monday, May 6, Southend Barns in Chichester will be holding its first Bridal Boot Fair from 12pm-3pm.

Newlyweds are invited to book a pitch either in the Dairy Barn or car park to sell on their pre-loved wedding items – from jam jars and dresses to candelabras and garden games. Brides-to-be can then come along on the day to browse and buy these items for their own special day.

As well as newlyweds, there will also be carefully

selected local suppliers in attendance offering advice and inspiration on everything including photography, flowers and finishing touches to cakes and entertainment.

THe Bridal Boot Fair promises to be a fantastic mix of hidden treasures and highend wedding inspiration.

Entry is free so why not enjoy an afternoon of amazing bargains, superb suppliers, live music and a chance to take a look around the beautiful venue?

All proceeds go to St Wilfrid's Hospice.

The history of Wingard in Chichester - Part two

By Amy Roberts, collections officer at The Novium Museum THIS week’s article continues to examine the history of Wingard from the 1950s.

In the very early 1950s, Wingard entered the field of plastics production and this decision paid them big dividends in 1953 when the government ruled that two rear reflectors must be fitted to every car and commercial vehicle. By increasing existing production of reflectors the company was able to sell one million almost overnight. THey also received substantial reflector contracts from government ministries.

By 1953, the company had outgrown the factory in Kingsham Road and decided to double the site by erecting a 10,000 ft building to the west of the existing factory.

Work commenced in January, 1954, and was completed by the following June. THe company’s turnover doubled as a result. It was not long before the company had again outgrown the premises and a decision was taken to build a double-storey block along the front of the existing factory. Work commenced in August, 1958, and added a further 18,000 sq ft of floor space.

In 1955, Wingard designed a new and improved prismatic anti-dazzle mirror. In 1956, the company designed and patented a universal stop/tail lamp at a competitive price just in time for the introduction of legislation that required two such lamps to be fitted to

every car and commercial vehicle.

A new factory was purchased in 1964 and opened on the Terminus Road industrial estate. In 1965, Wingard entered the seatbelt industry, initially importing them from Canada; they later began manufacturing their own improved version. Working in conjunction with Ford’s engineers, Wingard went on to design a test rig which they sold to other major seatbelt manufacturers.

THe company remained forwardthinking and had an intensive training and apprenticeship scheme looking to upskill workers and ensure continuity and career progression within the various departments of the company. THe company had a highly qualified design and development team which managed to secure many patents for them.

In 1968, the 21 Club was set up. THis club was for employees who had completed 21 years’ service with Wingard. THe first committee meeting took place at the Kingsham Road works canteen on February 17, 1969. THe first function was a dinner on Saturday, June 14. Many trips and outings were arranged on a regular basis for retired and working members. Retired members were also regularly invited to the factory to witness for themselves the changes and improvements the company made.

The Kingsham Road factory was fast becoming outdated and in 1986 the decision was made to move exterior mirror assembly to Portchester

f Advertisement for some of the many products including interior mirror and car roof-racks, produced by Wingard, Chichester

f Car interior mirror post-1978

THe company also had a sports and social club, as was common at the time. Run by volunteers they ran regular events, sports days, dances, trips shows and excursions.

THe 1970s saw a period of change, beginning in December, 1972, with the takeover of the company by Griffiths Bentley & Co, which owned the Britax Group. Less than a year later, in October, 1973, Griffiths were taken over by the Bristol Street Group, which operated a number of companies from auto component manufacturing, vehicle distribution and leasing to consumer products manufacturing aircraft equipment. THe company was reregistered in 1977 as Britax Wingard Ltd. At this time the company was also badly affected by the motor industry strikes of the early 1970s. As a result, Wingard were forced to introduce new procedures to cut overheads and improve efficiency. THese were highly successful and sales were higher than at any

other time in the company’s history.

In July, 1984, the company separated their mirror and seatbelt operations. Two years later, the company’s seatbelt operations were sold and the company focussed solely on rear vision systems and fuel filler caps.

THe Kingsham Road factory was fast becoming outdated and in 1986 the decision was made to move exterior mirror assembly to Portchester. A second factory opened in Portchester in August, 1992, and the Chichester factory finally closed in October the same year. THe buildings were demolished and a new housing estate built.

In commemoration of the business, one of the streets was named Wingard Way. Compiled using information from Britax Wingard Ltd A reflection on 70 years. The History of Britax Wingard 1929-1999.

Sportinbrief î ?

Horse racing GOODWOOD Racecourse gallops back into action with its much-anticipated opening Saturday on May 4.

Spring has sprung and with it the promise of an exciting new flat racing season at the Sussex track.

Goodwood's opening Saturday fixture next weekend features seven races including two valuable Listed contests; the ÂŁ50,000 Daisy Warwick Stakes and the ÂŁ50,000 Conqueror Stakes, both of which are likely to attract some exciting fillies and mares aiming to get off to a winning start.

During the winter months, much investment has taken place at Goodwood Racecourse. THe inside of the March Grandstand has seen further redevelopment, creating a superb new betting facility and two new cafĂŠs.

General manager Alex Eade said: "Opening Saturday is a real family day out complemented by the high-class racing. Whether you are passionate about horseracing or want a really good afternoon out, Goodwood Racecourse is a fantastic place to come."

Tickets start from ÂŁ12 in advance and children under 18 go free.

Darts GARY BLACKWOOD beat out competition from 50 other competitors to lift his fourth Bognor Friday Night Benevolent Knockout Champions Cup. THe Legends player defeated former champion Micky Rowland in the semi final before playing Lee Hellyer (Newtown Amity) in the final.

Blackwood started fast, hitting a score of 60 followed by two 140s. Hellyer couldn't score like his opponent, and in just 18 darts Blackwood hit double top for the first leg.

Hellyer started the second leg with a ton, and scored 81 and 88 with his next throws. But despite some drop-outs for Blackwood, two 85s and a 171 put him in the lead. It was Hellyer who kept his nerve though to level things up.

Leg 3 saw Blackwood seize the initiative with some strong scoring which his opponent could not match. With double seven left, Blackwood hit the double to go 2-1 up.

Leg 4 saw Hellyer with a slow start but eventually hit 122. Blackwood hit back with a ton. Hellyer replied with his own but could only leave 76.

Blackwood then diaplsyed his champion credentials nailing an 80 out shot to take the match 3-1.

Zim call-up for Bognor's new boy BOGNOR CC look to have landed a coup with their new overseas signing, Roy Kaia, who has international experience.

THe official start of the Sussex County Cricket League season is now a week away.

Kits have been ordered, balls have been delivered, squares have been cut and players are returning to the nets after a winter away.

One side who cannot wait to get going are Bognor CC, who have made some healthy additions to their squad this close season.

Zimbabwe international all-rounder Kaia is the most eye-catching, bringing a wealth of experience of Grade A cricket to THe Regis Oval.

THe 27-year-old has been in good form for his club side Mountaineers this winter, which earned him a call up to the Zimbabwe squad for their recent ODI series against UAE. Boasting a List A average of close to 30 with the bat and 22 with his right arm off-breaks, Bognor will hope Kaia can inspire them to a strong showing in the second tier of the Sussex County League.

Winter also saw the re-signing of Joe Ashmore after a good spell last season.

More importantly, though, was the

appointment of former Hampshire left arm spinner Raj Maru as coach.

Having guided leg spinner Mason Crane from Lancing College student into the England international T20 squad, hopes are high that the slow bowling maestro can spin his magic at the Regis Oval this summer.

Bognor start the season at home to Haywards Heath on May 4 while Chichester Priory Park, who finished one spot lower than their neighbours last season, host Burgess Hill (12.30pm).

For the third season in a row, Middleton CC will once again compete in the Sussex Premier with Sean Heather's side starting the season away at newly-promoted THree Bridges (11.30am).

THe club struggled at times last season and had to rely on a good run towards the end of the year to secure their top level status.

Middleton continued their preparations for the new campaign with a comfortable friendly victory over Stirlands last weekend, Heather scoring a century in a score of 241-5.

In Division THree West Pagham head to Littlehampton, Climping and Patching (12.30pm).

Blues wrap up top five finish SELSEY'S first season under Daren Pearce has been a big success - but despite claiming a top five finish, thoughts are already turning to next season.

A young Blues side has shown that they can be a match for anyone in the SCFL Division One this season.

After taking his time to get a settled side after his move from local rivals Sidlesham last summer, Pearce has turned his attention to youth.

It appears to have paid off as Selsey have been one of the form sides in the division since the turn of the year.

Blues have lost just once in the league since the start of December, a run which has seen them surge up the table and into the top five.

Since March, Selsey have won all six of their matches, scoring 16 and conceding just three.

Two of those wins came over the Easter campaign, starting with a 4-0 result against Storrington when Lindon Miller (2), Ryan Morey and Callum Dowdell got on the scoresheet.

THat was followed by a 1-0 derby day win over local rivals Sidlesham on Easter Monday.

THe only goal of a tight contest came just after the break when Jordan Warren struck home a free kick.

Blues wrap up their campaign tomorrow with a home match against Worthing United (3pm).

Pearce, though, is already planning ahead to next season, with Louie Haga-Hammond and his assistant, Billy Rayner, taking over the reins of the under 23s side at the Bunn Leisure Stadium.

A number of under 19s are also being blooded in the first team, as the club look to build on that age group's league winning season.

Elsewhere in SCFL Division One, Sidlesham finish their season away at Wick tomorrow (3pm).

Sids, who are currently ninth, have performed well on their return to step six under the direction of former Blues boss Steve Bailey.

THeir opponents tomorrow are level on points with them, but with a worse goal difference.

CHICHESTER City Ladies skipper Lauren Cheshire has hailed the club's togetherness for firing the side to county cup glory.

THe Oaklands Park side sprang a surprise by defeating Brighton & Hove Albion development squad 1-0 in the final of the Sussex Challenge Cup. For the Oaklands Park side the cup win is just rewards for an excellent season which has seen the club surge up the third tier of the women's national standings.

Even with a poor run of form around Christmas which saw them lose pace with the leaders, with two matches of the National Southern Premier season remaining, Aaron Smith's side are third.

But it is the victory in the cup which will long sit in the club's memory, with the win coming against the 17 times winners of the trophy whose senior team play in the Women's Super League.

Captain Lauren Cheshire said: "THis is by far the best team I have played in and I love every single one of those girls. THat was shown on the pitch.

"Everyone knows about our bad spell this season and that came from a lack of belief.

It took for that dip for us to come together, especially over the last four or five weeks.

THere was barely two minutes on the clock at Lancing's Culver Road when Molly Clark spectacularly put Chi in front.

THe club's top scorer fired from 30-yards out to beat the young Seagulls goalkeeper, Laura Hartley.

Chances came and went for both sides as Albion, who were featuring a number of internationals, looked for the equaliser.

But Chi's experience counted more and the club defended their lead well to ensure that they lifted the trophy for the second time in five years.

When asked what the win meant, Cheshire said: "It's something that five or six years ago when I joined this club was so far away. We were never supposed to win it but we did.

"It was the same again this year. We were the underdogs. THey are a good young team but we showed that we are still ready to compete."

Next up for Chi is a home match in the league against second-bottom Queens Park Rangers on Sunday (2pm).

THe game is the last game at Oaklands Park of the season.

Injuries have cost us dear, claims Pearce

e up f Rocks drew with Whitehawk | pics: T McMillan

NEXT GAME

BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce has blamed injuries as the major reason Rocks are not entering the final weekend of the season in playoff contention.

Two months ago, hopes were high at Nyewood Lane that the club would be in the hunt for an immediate return to step two football.

But a run of just one win in 11 league matches since mid-March have seen Rocks slip down the Bostik Premier standings.

After picking up just one point from Easter matches at champions Dorking Wanderers and struggling Whitehawk, Bognor are now 12th, with only a top half finish to fight for.

THey end their campaign tomorrow with a trip to Kent to face playoff-chasing Folkestone Invicta (3pm).

But Pearce cannot help but think that things could have been different if key players had stayed fit for crucial parts of the year.

He said: "It's been miserable being manager as I've just been fighting fires, Training has been a joke as with no players you cannot build cohesion.

"With our best 14 players and a normal number of injuries we would be in the playoffs."

Any hopes Bognor had of sneaking into contention were

ended by Dorking who produced a dominant display last weekend to beat Rocks 2-0.

THat was followed by an entertaining 0-0 derby day draw with Whitehawk on Easter Monday.

Speaking after that match to Rocks Radio, Pearce said: "We got the maximum effort out of the players we have. It showed that our decision-making at times was short of a team that is low on confidence which we undoubtedly are, given the results we have had.

"You are judged on your home form and our home form has been appalling."

Doug Tuck and Brad Lethbridge will both miss tomorrow's match at Folkestone but Pearce is hopeful they could be back for the Sussex Senior Cup final.

-- Rocks fans have limited time to pick up tickets for the club's Sussex Senior Cup final against Burgess Hill Town on May 7 at Brighton & Hove Albion's THe Amex stadium.

Tickets priced £10 adults, £5 concessions and under 16s £3 can be bought in advance from the Rocks' club shop at the following times; today (Friday, April 26) - 12.30pm to 4pm; tomorrow 10am to 11am; Monday (April 29) - 12.30pm to 2.30pm.

Folkestone Invicta (A) Tomorrow (Saturday, April 27), at 3pm

Chi celebrate as Lions suffer IT'S been a tale of two seasons for Chichester City and Pagham as the local rivals wrap up their SCFL Premier campaigns in very different moods.

For City, 2018/19 will always be a year to remember as they have won promotion to step four of non-league for the first time.

Pagham, meanwhile, have seen their season peter out as the club are currently in the midst of an eight match losing streak.

Both sides met on Easter Monday with Chi showing why they have been crowned champions, defeating the Lions 5-0 with Josh Clack (3) and Scott Jones (2) scoring.

It was a bad holiday period for Pagham as Saturday saw them lose 4-0 to fellow midtable side East Preston.

Lions will hope to end the season on a winning note when they welcome relegation-threatened Eastbourne United to Nyetimber Lane tomorrow (3pm).

Chi, who have won their last ten in the league, head to Eastbourne Town tomorrow (3pm) looking to end their title-winning season on a high.

NYECAMP NEWS

by Harvey Whyte

We'll be looking to thank the fans for their support

PLAYING two matches in three days is hard at any level.

But when you're getting into your late 20s you really start to feel it!

On reflection, we had two tough matches over Easter and a point was probably what we deserved.

At Dorking, while we performed a lot better in the second half, we did not create that many chances.

I think they had too many seasoned players for us which meant they controlled the key passages and were sensible in the way they played.

We tried to press but couldn't get near them and we also struggled at the back.

I think it's fair to say that a lot of our problems come from not having that experience.

THings like communication, going with the runners, decision-making - it can be difficult to get those things right first time, especially when like us you have a young back five who are still learning the game.

In the second half we did have a couple of chances to get back into it. But I think Dorking knew what they were doing and knew they were in control of the match so perhaps let us back into it a little bit.

THen it was on to Whitehawk on Monday. Even though we had beaten them twice quite comprehensively early in the season, it was a completely different side we were playing against and a completely different side we had playing for us.

Both sides had chances to score but perhaps a draw was a fair result.

It's fair to say that we are lacking in confidence as a side at the moment - there's no other way of describing it.

We are all frustrated with ourselves for the performances we have been putting in. THe effort is there but we're just not

getting the results.

As it is, we are not where the fans expected us to be. But with the squad we have and the injuries that we have, the current team we are putting out perhaps does not have the know how to be challenging at this level.

We need to be more clinical and quicker in attack which we have not been in recent months.

We are taking too many touches in the final third which is allowing opponents to get in to position to defend.

We must try to do better tomorrow at Folkestone.

It will be a match for the fans and we will be looking to put in a performance to thank those who are making the trip.

THey will be pushing for the playoffs so it is up to us to try to ruin their party.

It's also important for us to take form into the cup final.

I've always said the Sussex Senior Cup is more for the fans to have a day out.

THe majority of our supporters only come to our home matches and this year we have been dreadful at the Lane.

For that reason, I hope that we can give them a day to remember while hopefully getting our hands on a trophy.

Burgess Hill will not be easy though. THey've started picking up points so we'll need to prepare in the right way.

For me personally I have played at THe Amex twice before. It's the best I will ever play at and, after losing the first two, I am desperate to win a game of football there.

It's an unreal place to be in as at some point this season some of the best players in the world have been there so I will try to enjoy every minute.

Before that, though, we have a league match to focus on and I hope we can end the year with a win.
