Councillors switch on the city

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk COUNCILLORS in the city are backing a questionnaire asking the public if they would like an electric community bus.

Members of the Green and Labour parties on Chichester City Council have launched a new survey after looking at other communities in Midhurst and Brighton which have community

and electric buses to supplement bus services provided by big bus companies.

Cllr Sarah Sharp, Green Party councillor for Chichester South, said: “Our aim is to find out if people are interested in supporting a community bus here to serve the city and surrounding neighbourhoods.

"People frequently tell me they would like small buses to serve the city centre.

People often complain to me about the pollution and smell from the diesel

buses, so an electric bus seems a sensible way to go" Mayor of Chichester, Cllr Richard Plowman, said the idea was good but it would depend on the results of the survey.

He said: "I am very supportive of the idea but we will have to see how much demand there is from the survey and how it fits with the other priorities for the city.

"The number one priority from talking

to the people is to do something about the pavements in the city centre so that is top of the list at present.

"One other similar suggestion to a community bus was a little electric town train often seen in tourist destinations to move people around the city.

"We had a test back in 2006 and it worked well but funds were never forthcoming from the district council."

RBK closes after ten years' trading

A SUMMER EVENING

CONCERT

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk AN INDEPENDENT restaurant in Chichester is closing its doors after ten years' trading in the city.

A statement by Sussex Restaurant Company Ltd stated they had terminated trading at RBK (Real Burger Kitchen) in South Street.

It read: "It is with sad regret that we have to announce that from Sunday, June 9, 2019 The Sussex Restaurant Company Limited has terminated trading at RBK 5-6 South Street, Chichester.

"We would like to thank all our loyal customers over the years who continued to support RBK and us as a small independent restaurant."

Directors Nick Sutherland, Sam Bakose and Clyde Holliet have all agreed to cease trading as the short to mid-term economic outlook for the high street is thought bleak.

Mr Sutherland said: "We established this business back in 2009 and enjoyed many successful years of trading.

The company said the main cause of the business failure had been the continual decline of numbers in the high stree, and the inability to make the restaurant viable in current trading conditions.

They also said that many catering businesses in the high street had been experiencing the same issues, raising costs and falling sales.

f The men broke into Dartagnan in North Street in April

New appeal launched by police to catch menswear city burglars SUSSEX POLICE have launched a fresh appeal to trace five burglars in Chichester.

The five men broke into and burgled the menswear shop, Dartagnan, in North Street, Chichester, at 11pm on Wednesday, April 10.

CCTV from the shop shows the men, but their faces are covered. However, their voices can be heard.

The men broke in carrying large builder-style bags.

They filled the bags with high-

value clothes believed to be worth £100,000.

They then left over a wall at the back of the shop and got away in three cars.

The suspects were all wearing gloves and masks.

Repair Cafe fixes up the city's treasures

f A large amount of ceramic items were repaired on Saturday

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE CHICHESTER Repair Cafe had visitors queuing out of the doors on Saturday waiting for repairs.

The event had 48 attempted repairs, of which about two thirds were fixed and one of the repairers said he repaired everything that appeared in front of him, including a hair-dryer and a table lamp.

The ceramics repairer was so busy she had eight items waiting to harden off around her work station by 4pm.

The most unusual repairs of the day

were an Edwardian knife box which needed re-hinging as the hinge pins had dropped out and a large table lamp that had been two lamps to start with. The shade and the spares came from one and the ceramic base and the wiring came from the other lamp.

One of the sewing volunteers was unable attend so American friends of the organisers, with sewing skills, who are visiting the UK, were called in to help.

They rose to the challenge of mending and altering clothing, and promised to take the idea back home to Florida.

This month's Repair Cafe had a phone workshop for small groups of smart

phone users and organisers have said they will re-advertise this for next time in the autumn, along with a new booking system that should see the shorter queues waiting for repairs.

The Repair Cafe has been invited to join various events prior to the next autumn meet.

A celebration cake will be made for the Repair Cafe's first birthday on September 28, in the Quaker Meeting House.

Anyone who wishes to get involved as a repairer should contact Jenny Cole on: ChicRepairCafe@gmail.com For more information search Chichester Repair Cafe on Facebook.

The Midhurst Community Bus (MCB) is a fully licensed bus service, but is staffed entirely by volunteers.

It operates scheduled services in and around Midhurst on four mornings a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

The services bring passengers into Midhurst town centre from other parts of the town, as well as from outlying villages not served by other bus operators. Passengers may also request to be taken to and collected from the Riverbank Medical Centre.

MCB services can be used by anyone, not just local residents. There is a flat fare, currently £1.20 per single journey (or free with a bus pass), child fare is 6op.

All services are ‘Hail and Ride’, which means the bus can stop at any point along our routes provided it is safe to do so.

The Midhurst Community Bus is supported by West Sussex County Council, Midhurst Town Council and parish councils.

Kevin Hughes, Labour councillor for Chichester East, is giving his support to the survey. He said: “Our first job

is to find out if there is a need for a community bus. If we find there is a need, we can develop a project and apply for funding. We urge people to take part in this survey and share it with friends and family.”

Chichester MP Gillian Keegan has sent enquiries to both Stagecoach and South Downs bus companies requesting information on their sustainability plans including any plans to introduce electric buses.

She has also specifically asked about current policies for when buses stand idle at level crossings and bus stops.

Debbie Carter, Green Party councillor for Chichester South, added: “Residents in the north of the city have been really upset by the recent cuts to the No 50 bus that serves Graylingwell. We need to make sure that residents have sustainable ways to travel into the city so an electric bus is an exciting opportunity to explore with our residents”.

City MP has backed Stewart for next PM

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CHICHESTER MP Gillian Keegan has pledged her backing to Rory Stewart as the next Prime Minister.

Ms Keegan introduced Rory Stewart at his Tory leadership campaign launch event at the Underbelly Festival, Southbank, on Tuesday.

The room was packed full, with around 600 people in attendance and thousands more online made up of all ages, professions and persuasions.

In her remarks, the Chichester MP said: "There is only one candidate that stands out and only one candidate who can bring together all sections of society."

She went on to praise his efforts to listen to people across the country and his focus on unity rather than division.

After the event, Rory posted on social media, thanking Mrs Keegan and said he was ‘proud’ to have her on the team.

The contest to be the next Conservative party leader, the most crowded in the party's history, formally kicked off on Monday. Ten MPs have been nominated to succeed Theresa May and take her place as British prime minister. Tory MPs will whittle down the field to two candidates in votes yesterday and on Tuesday, June 18.

The Chichester MP said: "I have been thinking long and hard about who would be the best person to lead our country at this difficult time.

"Making my decision has not been easy as the stakes are high and there are

several great candidates. I have met with all of them one-on-one and attended several of the hustings over the past few weeks.

"Having given everyone a fair hearing, I have decided to support Rory Stewart.

"Communication has been central during Rory’s leadership campaign. He has started ‘Rory Walks’, going up and down the country meeting people to listen to their concerns and explain how he intends to bring everyone together.

"In my experience, good politics is more about listening to people than coming up with big ideas and catchy slogans. Listening is an underrated skill.

"This leadership election is all about Brexit and I think Rory’s stance is the best for us all. He believes in a Brexit deal and has said it is the only way to reunify the country. I agree, given the other options of either, ‘no-deal’ or ‘no-Brexit’ will only lead to further division.

"It was very clear at the launch that he’s already bringing people together!"

f The mayor celebrated the 30th birthday

Apuldram Centre holds party to celebrate its 30th birthday A SPECIAL charity supporting adults with learning disabilities has celebrated its 30th anniversary with cake and cheer.

Rachel Aslet-Clark, general manager of the Apuldram Centre, said: "The charity was originally formed by parents in 1989, several of the inaugural trainees and tenants continue to be part our journey.

"While the environment in which we live and work continues to advance, our charitable purpose and objectives remain as relevant today as they were 30 years ago."

The new mayor, Cllr Plowman, and

his wife Lynn attended the celebration held in the centre's sensory garden where trainees, parents, volunteers, staff and supporters joined together to celebrate the charity's achievements to date.

Absent friends were also remembered and the charity's plans for the future were talked about, including the building of a new designated small sports hall for the charity and wider community to use.

Actors gain rare insight into historical figures from play

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THEATRE stars from a new play showing in Chichester's iconic theatre attended the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum on Tuesday to learn more about the reallife characters they portray.

Rachael Stirling, daughter of Diana Rigg, plays Susan Traherne, a former secret agent in David Hare's Plenty, and stars alongside Rupert Young, who plays one of the agents.

The two actors asked David Coxon, the museum’s deputy director, about the full-size replica of a Westland Lysander aircraft and of equipment used by special operations executive (SOE) agents to carry out their clandestine operations.

Props chargehand, Chas Jellis, sold the replica Lysander to the museum after he hired a lot of Second World War props to the film production of Allied, starring Brad Pritt.

Rachael said: "I nearly burst into tears when I clapped eyes on the Lysander because it's such a heroic piece of machinery."

David Coxon, the museum’s deputy director, provided an article for the plays programme on the local connection to the SOE (RAF Tangmere and the No 161 Squadron pick-up pilots) and Pete Pitman provided photographs of the pilots from the museum’s photographic collection.

On the day of their visit, both actors were greeted by chairman, group captain David Baron, following which Rosemary Coxon, publicity officer at Tangmere, told guests about the lives of three female agents, Violette Szabo, Noor Inayat Khan and Odette Sansom.

In the play which opened on June 7, Susan is a former secret agent. Her heroic work with the special operations executive in Nazi-occupied France saw her face extreme danger, as well as

adventures and romance.

Twenty years on, she is living a very different existence in London, as the wealthy wife of a diplomat. Her strained marriage and altered circumstances have threatened her identity and trapped her in a destructive nostalgia for her wartime idealism.

Rachael said: "Our production is very energetic. We have this wonderful stage and effects and it feels very cinematic which is what David Hare wanted it to be

f The peregrines have grown significantly | Pic: Carnyx Wild

Flying high with peregrine-inspired art and raising funds for special birds THIS spring, visitors to Chichester Cathedral have been fascinated to catch a glimpse of the high-flying antics of the famous peregrine pair who are currently raising four chicks in the spire.

Now there’s a chance to get creative, and draw inspiration from these wonderful birds to make your own wonderful artistic prints to take home.

The cathedral is holding a Printed Peregrines adult craft workshop on June 26, run by professional printmaker, Cath Bristow.

Taking the nesting peregrines as a starting point, participants will learn how to translate drawings or photographs into prints, using the absorbing printmaking technique of drypoint, to create a set of beautiful postcards.

They can also spend time in the cathedral looking at visual representations of birds within tapestries, paintings and stained glass.

Drypoint is an intaglio print process that has been used since the 15th century, producing

"It's very much about the end of empire which is incredibly poignant in this questionable, Brexit era."

Rupert added: "It is an extraordinary play. We have been so blessed having David. One of the reasons he wrote this play was because he was really fed up with all the propaganda films he saw."

strong detailed images with an emphasis on texture and mark making, creating a beautiful velvety quality of lines.

The course is suitable for complete beginners and those with previous printmaking experience who would like to refresh their knowledge and learn a different approach.

Tickets cost £35 and are available on the course page in the events section of the cathedral website, or from the shop. The course runs from 10am to 1pm and light refreshments are included.

You can keep up to date with the progress of the parents and their chicks via a live webcam link on the cathedral’s website.

Open days are run by the cathedral and volunteers to offer a chance to view the webcam and learn more about the birds. The days are running on June 15, 16, 22 and 23.

kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk FAMILY Race Day at Goodwood proved popular once again when approximately 10,000 racegoers enjoyed an afternoon of activities on the South Downs.

The fixture was run in aid of the charity, WellChild, whose work helps support seriously ill children and their families.

The event raised £14,500 for the charity through the sale of race sponsorship, children’s fun activities, and donations from racegoers.

On a day when the Gordon and Lennox enclosures became one, children and adults alike enjoyed a traditional funfair and an activity tent, where Paw Patrol’s popular puppies Chase and Skye made much-anticipated appearances throughout the day.

The British Champions Series area gave racegoers a chance to have a go on a mechanical horse, while Golf at Goodwood provided education for young enthusiasts.

Former clerk of the course Seamus Buckley was on hand to host mini-course walks, while ex-racehorse, Army Of Stars, was the centre of attention, having been brought along by the team behind the Retraining of Racehorses organisation.

On the track, Shani put in a tenacious effort to win The Incubex WellChild Selling Stakes under P.J. McDonald,

Dementia family get a welcome surprise with a visit from stars A TANGMERE charity were in for a surprise when stars from the Chichester Festival Theatre made a special visit on Tuesday.

Dementia Support welcomed James Nesbitt, Clare Burt, Kirsty MacLaren, Rachel Lumberg and Scott Folan to their purpose-designed dementia hub at Sage House.

The actors have been appearing in This Is My Family at Chichester Festival Theatre to critical acclaim and sold out performances.

Their visit to Dementia Support was a wonderful surprise to the people living with dementia who attend the services and the actors, many of which have had personal experience of family members living with dementia, got fully involved in the show tune singing session being held with the group.

James Nesbitt, who lost his mother, May, to Alzheimer’s disease in 2012, struck up a conversation with Harry Jarvis about Harry’s days as a professional footballer for Nottingham County in the 1950s.

A football fan himself, Mr Nesbitt was impressed with Harry’s sporting past and quickly got chatting. He was thrilled to discover that Harry is the same age as his father and even took a selfie to share with him.

His fellow actors also formed quick bonds with the Sage House customers. Rachel Lumberg admitted she fell ‘head over heels’ with ex RAF Terry Hawes, especially when he told her he wanted to be part of her family after Rachel described the synopsis of their play.

“We are truly thankful to the cast of This Is My Family for taking the time to visit us. It was a truly lovely experience for our customers, and a pleasure for the team to see the stars engaging with our Sage House family. The singing was just beautiful – especially the rendition of Oklahoma!” said Sally Tabbner, Dementia Support chief executive, “Everyone had a great afternoon and we are always proud to show off our avant-garde dementia services and the unique work we do here at Sage House.”

before going under the hammer in an atmospheric winners' enclosure, selling to local trainer John Bridger for £8,000.

The local theme continued when Nuits St George, trained in Pulborough

by David Menuisier, put in a superb front running performance in the R L Austen Diamond Handicap stakes to win comfortably under Sean Levey.

Winning trainer David Menuisier commented: "Despite a rise in the weights he has won that nicely. Nuits St George is very ground-dependent, so if there is some cut in the ground come the Qatar Goodwood Festival, we will look to go there."

WellChild chief executive Colin Dyer commented: “We are thrilled with the amount of support and money raised at Goodwood’s Family Race Day, it will go a long way to helping seriously ill children and supporting their families through some incredibly tough times.

“I would personally like to thank the Goodwood team, our sponsors, Infiniti, R L Austen, The Bennington family, IncubEx, and Ed Chamberlin for their invaluable support.”

Goodwood now looks forward to the second Three Friday Night act tonight (Friday) when Gorgon City take to the decks.

The chart-topping duo, consisting of two North London producers, Kye Gibbon and Matt Robson-Scott, look set to wow the crowd.

Over 100 children attend an open day for city's academy

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CHILDREN and young adults interested in comedy, drama, musical theatre, film and television visited the Chichester Free School in Chichester over the weekend.

The Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts (PQA) held an free open day on Saturday as part of its launch.

The PQA is a weekend performing arts academy that provides tuition for children and young people aged from four to 18.

Students are divided into three groups according to their age and each group is taught by a specialist teacher.

Principal Katy Eyre said: "I am absolutely thrilled to be opening a PQA in Chichester. It has always been a life-long goal to have my own performing arts academy and teamed with the support of PQA it will be an exciting adventure.

"I have always believed performing arts has a place in everyone’s heart, no matter their talent. Whether you enjoy watching, creating it, learning from it, performance has a way of moving and educating us to become well rounded people."

The open day on Saturday saw 118 children attend and 82 sign up.

Pauline and her husband, Steve, opened their first academy when they could not find anything that ticked all the boxes for their son, Charlie.

They wanted to be able to provide performing arts tuition that was enjoyable, fun and something that would give children confidence.

More importantly, they wanted to help young people to pursue their life's ambitions, whatever those ambitions may be.

To Pauline and Steve, performing arts is more than just singing and acting. They

therefore created a model that covers the entire performing arts spectrum.

When 130 students turned up for the opening of the first PQA academy, they knew they were on to something and ten years later, PQA has almost 200 academies nationwide and is the largest provider of film and TV education in the UK. Pauline's many TV roles include Our Boy, Last Christmas, Real Women,

David Copperfield, North & South and Emmerdale.

Pauline is most famous for her role as Sharon Theodopolopodous in Birds of a Feather, which ran for 127 episodes from 1986 to 2016.

Reflecting on a busy year as mayor

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE city's former mayor has reflected over his time in charge of the city council and says it's the people of Chichester who really count.

Cllr Martyn Bell was chosen as mayor of Chichester in May, 2018, and a special mayor-making ceremony was held at the Guildhall in Priory Park, recreating an ancient tradition.

Cllr Bell said being made mayor in the Guildhall set the scene for what was going to be a very special year.

He said: "It was a great privilege to welcome, along with the Lord Lieutenant, Susan Pyper, their Royal Highnesses, Prince Harry and Meghan, to Chichester on what was their first stop on their first visit as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex."

In terms of Chichester community, Cllr Bell said the high spot for him was the junior mayor for the day in April.

He said: "The three young boys from St Anthony's played their roles superbly and a fascinating day was organised by the city council staff which included a visit to the West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service in Chichester, a St George's Day cathedral service as guests of the Royal Sussex Regimental Association and the South Downs Planetarium with Dr John Mason."

On September 30, 1918, the park was gifted to the city and last year a drumhead service, where the regimental drums became the altar, marked the precise anniversary.

There was a two-minute silence which was signalled by the firing of a field gun, after which 35 children from Parklands Primary School each read out ten names of the 350 local men who died on active service.

Cllr Bell said: “The celebrations were so appropriate, from the very moving pigeon release to the highly entertaining cricket match between Sussex county cricket team and The Duke of Richmond's XI. "The Bernstein concert was tremendous where the Chichester Psalms were performed to a packed cathedral. I had the great privilege of meeting Alexander Bernstein, his son.

As a great admirer of Bernstein's music, it was fabulous."

Alexander Bernstein flew from America to sit in the audience and listen to his father’s work. He last visited Chichester in July, 1965, with his father, mother and sister, Jamie, to attend the first performance in the cathedral of Chichester Psalms.

Cllr Bell said there were many community events which he was so impressed with, all run by volunteers, right through the year.

He said: "There are too many to mention, but one that stands out along with the mayoress, was the Christmas Day lunch, which was organised by the Rotary club at the Newell Centre.

"That was held for the elderly and the company was great and the food was superb - it was one of the best Christmas lunches I have ever had! The Rotary and the Lions do so much for the community."

Cllr Bell raised over £12,000 for his two chosen charities, Stonepillow and the Oxmarket Centre of Arts.

The highlight event for Cllr Bell was the cycle ride, which saw Justin Bulpett and Malcolm Meaby departing from John O’Groats, cycling more than 800 miles to Chichester in just ten days and raising over £8,000.

Cllr Bell said: "I drove the support car and had a fascinating ten-day journey. In my view, there was a wonderful welcome

for them as they rode into the city. I was very proud of them and grateful for the support everyone gave to their mayor's charities."

Cllr Bell also welcomed the Friends of Chatres to celebrate 60 years of twinning with Chichester. Jean-Pierre Gorges, mayor of Chartres and president of Chartres Métropole, came to Chichester with councillors in March for special celebrations including both mayors signing the Deed of Jumelage which was originally signed in 1959 at the council chamber and the planting of a Japanese cherry tree in Litten Gardens.

Cllr Bell also decided to grow a moustache for Movember to raise awareness of prostate cancer after he suffered himself. He said: "I was very grateful for the feature in the Chichester Post which gave good publicity which is what it is all about."

Cllr Bell also thanked all the volunteers who organised and worked so well together and the city council staff and Cllr Clare Apel for running his charities committee.

He added: "You do go to a lot of events as mayor. I've been so impressed. It's the people, particularly the volunteers.

They are such a supportive and hardworking group of people.

"As mayor, it was great to be at the very heart of so many marvellous things happening in Chichester and in handing over to Cllr Richard Plowman, I will still continue to be at the centre of things, as in May, I was elected the Chichester District Council councillor for Chichester Central which is a single member ward."

Cllr Bell is also the central ward councillor on Chichester City Council, along with Liberal Democrat, Cllr Anne Scicluna, who Cllr Bell described as 'very experienced and committed' like him to the city.

Rain doesn't dampen Q spirits

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk AROUND 50 people braved the downpours on Wednesday to enjoy the fun at Q Hair and Beauty’s Summer Fun Day in Donnington.

Despite heavy rain most of the day, the mini-fete, with bunting, balloons, refreshments, raffle and gifts, drew in the crowds at the hair and beauty salon on the outskirts of Chichester.

Guests were offered a quick-fix hairdo, lots of styling tips, braiding and even braiding tutorials so they could learn the skill and do it themselves at home.

The salon at Stockbridge Place opened last September and the staff there welcomed guests from 9am-6pm for the open day.

Social media and events manager Chloe Rafferty said: "Abbie and Stef were doing braids this morning and blowdries, Ellie and Claire talked about speeding-up skin care routines and gave hints and tips.

"They also advised on dealing with dry skin and getting summer-ready, using the right scrubs and essential oils.

"I enjoyed helping guests by matching skin colours with our new Skin Illusions foundation from Clarins and the new lip lacquers."

Stef Sbuttoni, a director at Q, works at the salon four days a week and has built up a loyal client base, many of who take advantage of the regular special offers.

He said: "On Thursdays and Fridays we offer a discount on colour discount and on Fridays we also have 20 per cent off for over-60s.

"I have a big clientele in the Chichester salon and now it's the perfect balance

by maintaining my client base there but also helping to establish ourselves at Donnington as a slightly different Q. "We are still the same well-loved brand but we have our own take on it and have now reached the southern area of the city, too."

Dawn Lawrence Grant, Q Hair and Beauty’s managing director, added:

"It’s almost a year since we opened the Donnington salon and we already feel part of the community, so the open day was our way of saying thank you, a lively social occasion where we wanted to engage even more with local people.

"Our main salon in Chichester has always played an important role in the community, with our team getting

involved in all kinds of activities, so we wanted to show that now we’re a real part of Donnington, as well.

"We're delighted that lots of people came along to join the party and help us celebrate."

Beat the rush - have a boiler service now

The Sussex Heating Care Company Beulah House, Swansea Gardens, Bognor Regis, West Sussex PO21 2JG 07899 964237 or 01243 820474 www.sussexheatingcare.co.uk IT may just be the start of summer but homeowners should be thinking about maintenance of their central heating boilers now.

That's the view of Ross McCormack, who runs Bognor Regis-based The Sussex Heating Care Company and says it's a really good idea to get any repairs or servicing done before autumn sets in when everyone switches on their heating again and discovers potential problems.

"Thinking ahead to beat the rush means that if anything major needs doing, I have time and can get any parts needed before you really need heating," added Ross.

As well as full boiler services, he offers power flushing for heating systems, which, with the hard water supplied in West Sussex, is essential to keep pipes clear and water flowing through them - another task more easily completed when the

system is completely cold.

Having trained at Chichester College, he has been in the trade for 15 years, spending ten of those years working for a national company specialising in service and repairs, experience which has stood him in good stead since setting up his own business.

Ross can carry out services, installations and repairs on all types of central heating and, by attending training courses, has kept up to date with changes in the industry, such as adapting to customers becoming more conscious of energysaving. He is a Baxi-approved installer, on the GasSafe Register and a member of Checkatrade as well as qualified to work on oil boilers.

Much of his business comes from word of mouth recommendations and repeat calls from satisfied customers. He carries an extensive range of general spares but is able to order any special parts as required.

Ross is also able to carry out general plumbing work and, although based in central Bognor Regis, he is willing to travel to the surrounding area, such as Chichester and Littlehampton.

Growing ideas in new gardens

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk OVER 60 keen gardeners put their green thumbs to work last weekend, joining Lady Penelope Gardens in a gardening party at St Wilfrid’s brand new hospice in Bosham.

The company is working with the hospice’s team of gardening volunteers to deliver two beautiful landscaped gardens which are sure to be a huge comfort to hospice patients when they start to move in next month.

Angela Palmerton, owner and founder of Lady Penelope Gardens, said: “I have always wanted to do something special for a hospice, following personal experience of the fantastic work they do.

"The chance came when I heard that St Wilfrid’s was building a new hospice with the space and modern facilities they urgently needed."

Angela has donated her time and expertise to implement the soft landscaping designs for the new hospice garden and will work with the long-standing team of volunteers in the after care and establishment of the new scheme.

Angela continued: “It was a real joy to work with staff members and their families, Bosham locals and the St Wilfrid’s team of volunteer gardeners this past weekend as we planted a whopping 4,500 plants!”

In 1980, a committee, who shared the same vision and passion to create a hospice for Chichester, was formed.

The brand new £16.2 million building in Walton Lane, Bosham, is around double the size of the old hospice, with 18 patient rooms, compared with 14 in the current building.

Chief executive of the hospice, Alison Moorey, said: “we are delighted to have the support of Angela and her team, and are so proud of the work by our wonderful gardening volunteers who take such great pride in the hospice gardens.”

If you are interested in joining the volunteer gardening team, perhaps once a week, to help maintain the beautiful new gardens, please contact St Wilfrid’s volunteer office on: 01243 755185 or email: volunteers.office@ stwh.co.uk The public are also being asked to join an exclusive tour of the new building and find out all about the work that St Wilfrid’s does to support people living with terminal or life-limiting illness.

During your visit you will be able to meet staff, ask questions and get advice about the care and support they can offer.

Tickets for the public tours are limited to invitation only. People need to book early to avoid disappointment.

Visit: stwh.co.uk/tours to book your place on one of nine dates available running from August 20 to September 8.

` Scams events

f The courtyard allows every room to have access

f Volunteers helped with the planting of the gardens

AWARENESS sessions are being held to warn shoppers in Chichester and Bognor Regis about scams.

Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice has joined with West Sussex trading standards to help people to spot potential cons.

The events are taking place as part of a national scams awareness campaign to encourage people to report and talk about the criminal activity. They will be held from 9.30am-1pm next Thursday at Tesco Extra in Chichester and the same times on June 27 at the Tesco Superstore in Bognor Regis.

Luca Badioli, chief executive of Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice, said: "'Stop, report, talk: Be #scamaware' is our message to people in West Sussex.

"We're finding that, although many people have come into contact with scammers, very few people are speaking up about this issue.

"People can sometimes feel foolish or embarrassed talking about, or reporting their experiences, but sadly this means scammers are getting away scot-free.

"In reality, all of us can have the bad luck of being scammed."

People will learn at the sessions about how to spot common signs of a scam. They include offers that appear to be too good to be true and requests to pay for goods upfront.

Cllr Debbie Kennard, county council cabinet member for safer, stronger communities, said: "Removing the stigma around scams is vital and I would urge people to come along to these events and talk about their experiences."

Climate pledge

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A MAJOR online campaign to encourage everyone to play a part in reducing the impact of climate change is being launched by the county council.

On World Environment Day on Wednesday, last week, the West Sussex Climate Pledge asked everyone in the county to commit to make small changes in key areas: • Make low carbon journeys • Save water and energy • Pass on plastic • Shop local • Fight against food waste Deborah Urquhart, cabinet member for the environment, said: "All around us, our planet is changing, and we simply must act now to make changes to the way we live if we want our habitat to survive for generations to come.

"There is a growing urgency to take action and all over the county we already have some amazing groups of people doing their bit.

"But many people may not know where to start or whether their actions will even make a difference.

"We hope by providing some simple first steps and sharing ideas it will encourage people to think about the effect they are having on the environment and how they can make changes for the better."

Council leader Louise Goldsmith said: “We all need to act carefully and responsibly to ensure there are enough resources for today and tomorrow.

Without a doubt it is imperative for us all to take action now and I can’t stress enough the importance of this and the unthinkable consequences of doing nothing.

“With the world’s population now around 7.7 billion people, all reliant on our one planet earth, we can all make a difference by acting together and doing everything possible to reduce the damage we are causing to our planet."

People are being asked to pledge their support online at: westsussex.gov.uk/ maketheclimatepledge and commit to making a series of simple changes to their everyday lives.

Bike week fun

BIKE WEEK 2019 celebrations began on Saturday with free bicycle ‘health’ checks at the recently-completed Pagham Harbour to Medmerry Nature Reserve's cycle route.

County council leader Louise Goldsmith and cabinet member for environment, Deborah Urquhart, attended the Dr Bike event, seeing firsthand both Bikeability’s work in the community and the new cycle path.

Cllr Goldsmith said: “Bikeability does superb work in the community allyear-round and these ‘Dr Bike’ events are just one aspect. For example, last year, the team instructed nearly 10,000 youngsters in how to ride their bicycles safely, and they are on course to exceed that total in 2019.

“During Bike Week, our Bikeability

team will be in eight schools across the county, delivering level 1 and 2 tuition to more than 400 trainees.”

On Saturday, she went for a ride on the new cycle path, which links Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve and Medmerry Nature Reserve, and gave this reaction: “Saturday’s weather may have been blustery but the scenery was stunning.

The new path is a real boon for residents, visitors and wildlife enthusiasts alike.”

The start of the new cycle route is across the road from the RSPB’s Pagham Harbour Local Nature Reserve.

Bike Week (June 8 to 16) is also being promoted as part of the council’s newly-launched West Sussex Climate Pledge campaign, which is focused on encouraging low carbon journeys across the county during the month of June.

` Lottery grant PALLANT House Gallery has received a National Lottery grant for outreach work in Bognor Regis.

The Chichester gallery has been given £92,910 from The National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund.

This grant will enable the gallery to build on the work of its awardwinning community programme specifically engaging with communities in Bognor Regis and Littlehampton.

Over the next two years, the gallery will partner with existing groups and charities, supporting new participants in creative workshops that develop their artistic skills and help build confidence and new relationships.

Leading a creative life has a hugely positive effect on people’s health, wellbeing and sense of purpose, as seen by initiatives recently spearheaded by the NHS. Laura Southall, head of public programmes, said: "We’re thrilled that this money will enable us to get out and about and work with people who wouldn’t usually visit the gallery. This is a big focus for us going forward."

The community programme also runs the gallery’s Partners in Art scheme, which provides opportunities for people to access the art world on an equal footing, with a volunteer partner who shares their passion.

If you’re a local artist based in the Chichester or Arun area and interested in finding out more about the gallery’s Partners in Art scheme, you can call: 01243 770833 or email: community@pallant.org.uk

f Cllr Goldsmith and Cllr Urquhart with the pledge

Council under fire from ombudsman WEST Sussex County Council accused a woman of giving away £140,000 to avoid paying for care fees.

A complaint made by her daughter – known as Mrs C – was upheld by the Local Government & Social Care Ombudsman and saw the council ordered to carry out a review of the case.

A report from the ombudsman stated that, after the mother suffered a stroke and was unable to live independently, she moved into an annexe of Mrs C’s home.

She was initially unable to sell her own shared home so, for the next two years, Mrs C paid for care fees, utilities, maintenance and day-to-day living expenses out of her own pocket.

She also paid for privately employed physiotherapists and acupuncture therapists.

Once the mother’s home was sold, she transferred £140,000 of her share into Mrs C’s account ‘in recognition of the physical, emotional and financial support she had given and continued to give her’.

Problems arose, though, when Mrs C asked the council to conduct a financial assessment as her mother’s finances were close to dropping below the level needed to receive help with social care.

After carrying out the assessment, the council decided the £140,000 was a deliberate deprivation of assets and decided to treat the gift as notional capital – meaning that, while the mother did not actually have the money, she would be treated as if she did.

The ombudsman’s reported said the council should not have assumed the money was given to Mrs C to avoid paying care fees and added: “It is my view the council is at fault in how it considered the issue of deprivation.”

The council was told to allow Mrs C a chance to respond to questions about expenses, and to review the case.

Paul McKay, the county council’s director of adults’ services, said: “The specific deprivation of assets issue was considered by a manager in line with the council’s charging policy and its deprivation of assets practice guidance that were in place at that time.

“However, since then the council has introduced a formal deprivation of assets panel and the process for considering cases has been revised.

“As requested by the ombudsman, this case has been reviewed and further evidence has been considered by the panel.”

Report by Karen Dunn, local democracy reporter

f Dave Tilley and Laura Lee

Laura thanked for research RAILWAY workers in Chichester and Bognor Regis who served their country have been remembered.

A unique project by ticket office employee Laura Lee has ensured their bravery in the First World War will be available for the public to view.

Laura spent months compiling the list of some 290 names of those who worked on the 21 stations between Crawley, Brighton and Emsworth.

She was thanked for her hard work at a short service of remembrance held on Monday in Arundel railway station's waiting room by the Royal Sussex Regiment Association. Three of its standard bearers were present. She was presented with a Royal Sussex Regiment commemorative brooch. The station received framed copies

of Royal Sussex by the Sea and the Soldier's Prayer for its waiting room.

Laura said: "I'm pleased I've finished the research. This is a little bit overwhelming.

I didn't do the research for any thanks but because I enjoyed it."

Littlehampton resident Laura started her journey into the past to mark the 150 years of Arundel station, where she works, in 2013. She extended this for last year's centenary of the end of World War One She used the National Archives' records of all the workers of the former Southern Railway who signed up the armed forces and narrowed them down to the Arun Valley Line area. Her next stage was to crossreference them with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's details for those who were killed in the fighting.

"Those who signed up worked in jobs across the board," said Laura. "They went into all areas of the army and in a wide range of roles."

Each station has a copy of its workers' records and the complete list is being given to the county records office in Chichester.

Speaking on behalf of the Royal Sussex Regiment, Dave Tilley said: "Thank you very much, Laura, for all the work you have done. The copy in the county records office will ensure their names will live forever."

Bognor Regis saw 12 rail workers enlist.

There were 24 from Chichester and 11 from Barnham. Those who died included Walter Beeching (Bognor Regis), a greaser, on October 7, 1915, aged 19, and goods shunter William Hoare (Chichester), on October 16, 1918, aged 25.

Breathing fire as the brigade are top in Dragon Boat race

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk

Thanks to Citizens Advice volunteers VOLUNTEERS and staff were thanked for their contributions to Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice.

Helpers who have clocked up some 86 years of unpaid support were celebrated at a special event. They received long-service awards and are among 120 volunteers who contribute a total of 720 hours a week to the service.

This enabled it to help more than 13,000 people last year with problems such as debt, housing, benefit and employment issues from its premises in Chichester District Council's offices at East Pallant House, Bognor Regis Town Hall and Anchor Springs in Littlehampton.

Luca Badioli, chief executive at Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice,

THE ANNUAL Dragon Boat Race at Chichester Canal took place on Sunday with local firefighters beating off the competition to be crowned the winners.

The event saw Chichester’s Rotary Dragon Boat Challenge raising much needed funds for Cancerwise and other local charities.

The well established event, combined with fine weather, led to an incredibly busy day at the canal and the atmosphere was electric with competitors, a dance crew

said he was "delighted to recognise a number of volunteers who have provided support to the community for many years.

"Our volunteers contribute their time and energy to make a huge difference to people's lives and help keep our vital service running.

"Our community is a happier place through the dedication of this team and many others."

The volunteers help in roles such as giving clients information and advice, raising funds, keeping the service running smoothly and helping with the strategic direction of the organisation.

The volunteers' event was held during last week's national week to reflect the importance of volunteers to their communities.

The swans and their recently hatched brood of five cygnets were also enjoying a day on the water but luckily avoided the boats.

The crowds were wowed by the enthusiastic and energetic dancers of the Suzanne Hill School of Dance and Chichester Down Syndrome Support Group.

A highlight was when they were joined

by Cllr Martyn Bell, former mayor of Chichester, who reprised his dance moves of 2018.

Catherine Cannon, trustee and vice-

chairman of Chichester Ship Canal Trust, said: "With so many people enjoying what the canal has to offer, the canal volunteers did a sterling job, especially those in the cafe, where the queue for refreshments snaked out the door.

"Visitors lined up to admire the model 1910 canal boat, which was on the canal volunteer stand and it was a fitting end to volunteers week that many people were finding out more about volunteering at the canal."

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK

Bellevue Rendezvous is choice for Ruby Tuesday June 14-20

SMART, timely, and brought to life by a terrific cast, Late Night is a workplace comedy with a lot of heart -- and just as many laughs. Emma Thompson stars as Katherine Newbury, a latenight talk show host who takes a drastic step to stop her slide in the ratings. She hires Molly Patel (Mindy Kaling), the first female to penetrate Katherine’s writing staff of white dudes. When Thompson starts using Kaling’s verbal grenades like a virtuoso, this workplace satire is just the pointed fun we need.

Eighth Grade is a masterpiece. Life is hellish for Kayla Day (newcomer Elsie Fisher). Why? Because this kind, clever 13-year-old has bad posture and zilch-all confidence who wants to be cool. It takes forever for Kayla to love herself but if you know what’s good for you, you’ll adore her from the start of this smart as heck black comedy.

Isabelle Adjani and a very hilarious Vincent Cassel star in The World is Yours, a heist comedy thriller peopled by the chancers and artful dodgers of France’s immigrant underclass. A small-time dealer dreams of another life but can’t afford it. Alors, one last job, hein?

In Portugal’s Diamantino, a disgraced worldclass striker’s life descends into chaos as he adopts a child refugee, becomes a vote-leave poster boy – and gets cloned by the government.

Fantasy on steroids meets satire.

This week’s Ruby Tuesday’s choice, Bellevue Rendezvous, is by Walter Francisco, the cinema’s general manager. Richly detailed and loaded with surreal touches, this is a delightful charmer. Dive

Lovers of dance will revel too in Force of Nature Natalia, an intimate and revealing film following the generation’s most exciting prima ballerina Natalia Osipova. (June 15, 17, 19).

After defeating Apocalypse, the X-Men are heroes. Now serving humanity, they travel into orbit to repair a space station, but when a solar flare hits, Jean is nearly killed, and the team barely

escapes. Slowly recovering, Jean begins to exhibit incredible power; her natural telekinesis and telepathy magnified 100-fold. She’s infinitely more powerful, but also far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her and slowly losing control, she’s manipulated by a shape-shifting alien (Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain) who pushes her towards the darkness. Embracing the Phoenix Force, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain, becoming a threat not just to the X-Men, but to all of humanity itself – and they must decide if one must be sacrificed to save the other. With Jean spiralling out of control and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite – not only to save Jean's soul but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponise this force and rule the galaxy.

For the time being, however, Godzilla will have to contend with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah if he’s to make it that far. When these ancient super-species – thought to be mere myths – rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance. Returning characters from the previous Godzilla include Sally Hawkins as Dr Vivienne Graham and Ken Watanabe as Dr Ishiro Serizawa, who are now joined by The Conjuring’s Vera Farmiga and Straight Outta Compton’s O’Shea Jackson Jr. as members of Monarch as well as Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown as a child caught up in the conflict.

Chris added: “Last year we won the National Operatic and Dramatic Association Accolade of Excellence for our production of ‘The Killing of Sister George’. We are very proud to have won this and several other awards for our production and technical work in the last few years.

A new play from Lucy Flannery and Greg Mosse Poisoned Beds June 19, 7.30pm - Brook Hall, North St, Emsworth PO10 7BY June 21, 7.30pm - Weald & Downland Living Museum, Singleton PO18 0EU THE death of Emsworth’s oyster industry features heavily in a one-act play being brought to the town's Brook Hall and Weald and Downland Living Museum at Singleton by four leading lights of the theatre world.

Written by Chichester-based Greg Mosse and Havant’s Lucy Flannery, their play, ‘Poisoned Beds’, features original live music by another celebrated Havant resident – John Gleadall. Through West Sussex actress Paula Tinker, the play is set in December, 1918, and is a captivating story of one woman’s preparation of a concert to celebrate both women’s suffrage and the end of the Great War. However, there’s a twist in this clever combination of comedy and sadness in that she can’t celebrate the future without reconciling herself to her tragic past – it’s not just the oyster beds that human folly has poisoned.

Lucy has worked with stars such as Alison Steadman and Roy Hudd while Greg’s plays – often based in local

history (‘The Hawkhurst Gang’, ‘The Exchange’, Number 60 to The Somme’) regularly play to capacity audiences.

The 60 minute production will be followed after the interval by a revealing post-show discussion.

At the Weald and Downland Museum, the performance will coincide with the museum's Midsummer late opening when visitors can explore the site and its houses from 6pm-9pm. Usual entry fees apply. Tickets for the Emsworth performance are £12.50 and available from www.wegottickets.com and at the museum they can be booked at: www.wealddown. co.uk for £10.

Barbecues the oldest method of cooking

Barbecuing is probably the oldest method of cooking meat, fish or vegetables and the simple heat-charring on open coals is as delicious as an outdoor treat as it was a necessity in times gone by.

PERHAPS it is a relic of the caveman instinct which leads many men to don an unaccustomed apron and pick up the tongs to take over cooking when barbecue season looms or it could be the lure of an open fire over which such care is taken to keep it at the right heat to cook but not burn the selected food.

Choice of food to be cooked over charcoal becomes ever wider with butchers and supermarkets offering a wide range of prepared meats, such as marinated steaks or specially flavoured sausages, to make the meal even more of an occasion.

The humble burger is still one of the most popular offerings and, if they are home-made, the variety can cover all tastes and the quality of ingredients assured.

Although it cooks quickly, fish can be tricky to retain its shape and not fall apart as it cooks but ingenious tools are available to contain a whole fish while ensuring it's cooked through. The old-fashioned method of wrapping in aluminium foil and tucking on top of the glowing embers is also successful, although timing can be crucial to ensure the flesh is properly heated.

Potatoes, both standard and sweet, are easily wrapped in foil, too, as are bananas - slit open the skins and stuffed with squares of chocolate for a sweet, hot and sticky treat.

Vegetable and fruit kebabs work well, but take care not to over-do them.

As regards accompaniments, simplicity is usually best with salads and rolls keeping the catering side down to a minimum while

keeping the barbecue at the centre of attention.

The choice of barbecuing equipment grows ever more sophisticated and some people with built-in cooking stations in their gardens use them almost as often as their indoor kitchens.

Aside from the usual small charcoalfulled open containers with griddles, bottled gas-fired appliances are reliable and controllable but they Delicious can also burn quite fiercely and need careful controlling. outdoor If you are thinking of upgrading treat! your outdoor cooking equipment, spend some time researching the latest trends and suitability for your particular circumstances at a garden centre or other specialists to get the best advice before you invest a lot of money.

Despite the unpredictable British summer weather, it looks as though the popularity of barbecuing food will continue and that our ancestors knew what they were doing the first time they threw a moose steak on the fire.

By Alicia Denny Reina Kitchen Meze & Bar 11/12 Market Road, Chichester PO19 1JW Tel: 01243 788717 Email: reinakitchenmezebar@gmail.com www.reinakitchen.co.uk IF SEATED downstairs, customers can see chefs at work at the barbecue-type grill as the restaurant has the unusual feature of an open cooking area.

This is all part of the friendly atmosphere where smiling and helpful staff offer guidance on the

"O

ur traditional Turkish charcoal grill not only ensures food is cooked to perfection but it delivers wonderful distinctive flavours only found when cooking using high quality lumpwood charcoal"

menu, although it also gives good descriptions for people who are unfamiliar with Turkish cooking.

The chefs, all of whom have trained in Turkey, are led by proprietor Mehmet Yenturt's father-in-law, who brings 30 years' of experience and culinary skill to the kitchen.

His high standards apply not only to the quality of food preparation but also to the freshness of ingredients. Unusually for a restaurant, there is only one freezer and that is for storage of chips and ice cream - every other ingredient is fresh.

Meat and fish come from the markets in Portsmouth while fruit and vegetables are all sourced locally but, to keep the genuine flavours, organic herbs and spices are brought in from farms in northern Turkey on a regular basis.

The menu offers traditional Turkish dishes, including old favourites, family recipes and chefs' own specialities.

When three of us dined at Reina Kitichen, it was hard to decide from the long list of both hot and cold starters, but while choosing we enjoyed olives with flat bread, which also came in useful to accompany the moreish dips and filling lentil soup. An interesting small touch was a fresh lemon slice to squeeze into the delicious soup.

We swooped on a plate of grilled halloumi

slices before trying to decide on main dishes - no easy task with so much choice, which included vegetarian offerings, fish and salads. Most of the meat dishes are based on lamb or chicken and we took the advice of our waiter and plumped for a lamb shank, lamb shish and chargrilled king prawns.

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 prawns disappeared quickly a sure sign of decent cooking.

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 alongside bottles from more usual wine-producing countries and Reina Kitchen is making a feature of its cocktails, including house specials. Of course, there is also traditional Turkish coffee.

Add a new dimension to your home Tel: 01243 782580 Email: sales@iluxloftladders.com IN our waste conscious lifestyle today, why are we so willing to waste space in our homes?

In most homes, space is at a premium, and where we do have space it is invariably used to its maximum i.e: fitted kitchens, bedroom, bathrooms etc.

However, there is a space in most homes that due to poor access is often overlooked - the loft!

Good, efficient access to your

loft is essential not only for regular inspection of your water tanks, pipes and wiring, but also to ease the storage problems experienced by most family homes.

ILux supply and install loft ladders especially designed for easy trouble-free access to your loft.

We are also stockists of Velux Blind products. By far the most popular of these is the ilux loft access system.

The main feature of the iLux is its ease of use. Teenagers to pensioners will find that the sprung-assisted hatch door lowers in an effortless action. Combine this with features such as builtin insulation, concealed hinges, rubber sealing strips and finally the integrated ladder itself made of solid pine.

Add to this a first class installation service and no wonder the iLux is a best seller at £595 fitted.

So please give iLux a call to arrange your free no obilgation survey on 01243 782580 or email sales@iluxloftladders.co.uk

Plants love water Tel: 01243 373642 Email: chichester@greenthumb.co.uk www.greenthumb.co.uk LAWNS are plants, too, and therefore also love water. As summer rolls ever onwards, hot, dry weather can turn your lawn yellow and in some cases cause long-term damage.

While every lawn has a different make-up and exposure to the sun varies from lawn to lawn, on average it’s recommended your lawn needs a good soaking regularly for 2030 minutes every other day, sometimes even every day in long periods of drought.

A common mistake we come across in hotter periods is homeowners cutting the lawn too short. If we’re suffering from a lack of rain, our advice would be not to cut your lawn at all. If the lawn grows so long that you feel you have no choice but to cut it, set the mower height to at least two inches. The lawn will

thank you. It will stay greener for longer, make more efficient use of water and therefore will recover more quickly.

If you cannot water your lawn regularly, or even if you can but you want to do everything possible to get the best possible lawn, we can help you. GreenThumb has pioneered the Oasis water-conserver. Oasis is a water management treatment for your lawn. It effectively moves water to the right places (the grass root zone) to ensure the grass has access to the nutrients it requires to stay healthy and strong. For grass to thrive on average a lawn will need 30mm of water but with Oasis this can be reduced to 7mm on clay soils and 15mm on sandy soils. Oasis also removes the waxy coating that prevents water absorption on the soil’s surface that can lead to a soil disorder known as “Dry Patch”, whereby the soil becomes hydrophobic and no amount of watering does much good.

It also fights off coarse grasses, weeds and diseases by helping maintain a stronger overall lawn density.

If you would like more advice on any aspect of lawn care or would be interested in our Oasis treatment please don’t hesitate to call GreenThumb on 01243 373642 or email chichester@greenthumb.co.uk for a free of charge Lawn Analysis.

AS well as its long-established business of supplying and installing fencing materials, Knight Fencing is now selling quality garden furniture, arbours and wooden planters.

Managing director Danny Knight explained what was behind the firm’s expansion from its core business.

Q: Is selling garden furniture a new idea for Knight Fencing?

A: It’s our second year so in relation to 28 years’ trading then yes!

Q: Where can customers see the range?

A: In our site at Leythorne Nurseries, Vinnetrow Road, Runcton PO201QD, or online in our buy online shop www.knightfencing.co.uk/shop Q: What's special about the particular products you sell?

A: They are pressure-treated so can be left out in all weathers. For an example of the benefits of this process, see the link on the blog tab of our website at: www.knightfencing.co.uk/7-great-garden-furnitureideas Q: Why should people buy furniture from Knights rather than a garden centre or

multiple store?

A: This type of furniture is available on line in flat pack but we offer a construction service and deliver to the spot in the garden you want it, ready to use. We would also offer construction on site if the furniture was too large to get into the garden in one piece.

Also, occasionally, fixings can be missing and this is where we can rectify the problem straight away but if you purchase online you have all the problems of going back to customer services/complaints etc etc but with us - one call and it’s sorted Q: Are the items available through your website?

A: Yes. Most items can be viewed and ordered through the shop tab on our website.

Q: Is a catalogue available?

A: For people who would prefer to study a printed catalogue, one is available to download on the website: www. knight-fencing.co.uk/download-productguide-2017 Q: Is delivery available?

A: Yes, we can deliver free to all PO postcodes, some BN and some SO. Call us for further information or visit the showroom.

Sonning House: An exceptional place to live

Stonewater Homes Tel: 023 8065 8858 stonewaterhomes.co.uk A UNIQUE opportunity has arisen at Bersted Park, North Bersted, for those who dream about buying their own home, but have been unable to afford to do so – until now!

Just 16 apartments are available at Sonning House, giving you the chance to move out, and up in the world.

The two-bedroom apartments, which have been thoughtfully designed with Amtico flooring throughout, quality integrated kitchens, en-suites and builtin wardrobes, can only be purchased through shared ownership. This makes them perfect for aspiring homeowners who do not have access to huge deposits, but dream about living in their own luxury home.

Our Vision is simple: for everyone to have the opportunity to have a place they can call home.

Shared ownership means you buy a share of your home (you don’t share with anyone – unless you want to!) and Stonewater owns the rest. A rent is payable on the share you don’t yet own – that is, until you are ready to purchase a larger proportion of your stylish abode.

A service charge is payable by all home owners at Bersted Park and this keeps the development looking as good as it does now.

Shared ownership is available to those with a household income of £80k or less and initially you are able to buy between 40% and 75%, but you then have the opportunity to increase this as and when you can afford to own a larger share of your home.

If you are more than ready for your own space, then shared ownership with Stonewater is a way to take that all-important first step on the housing ladder, while living in a home you can be proud of.

Developed by leading housebuilder Berkeley, Sonning House is located at the

Homes&Gardens 31

heart of Bersted Park, a newly established community, conveniently located on the edge of North Bersted, close to Blue Flag south coast beaches, the breathtaking South Downs National Park, and the historic cathedral city of Chichester.

Getting to work is no problem either, conveniently located for commuters to escape the city but still enjoy modern luxury living. Portsmouth is just an hour by car and London an hour and half by train via Chichester.

Home owners at Sonning House benefit from dedicated parking, and communal gardens, as well as access to Bersted Park's leafy footpaths and cycle ways, acres of parkland, fitness 'trim' trail, ponds and open spaces.

Stonewater's expert team is here to answer any questions and to help every step of the way, should you choose to make your dream home a reality. Give them a call and start your journey today.

For more information please visit www. stonewaterhomes.co.uk or call 023 8065 8858 (option 1)

Want your own home but can’t afford to buy?

Shared Ownership could be your answer!

Don’t worry you don’t have to share your home with anyone – just the ownership!!

Shared Ownership is a part buy, part rent scheme offered by Stonewater and gives you the opportunity to get a foot on the ladder without the huge deposit requirements normally needed.

We have 16 Two bed apartments for sale at Sonning House, North Bersted from £100,000 for a 40% share with Rent and Service Charges payable on the share you don’t yet own.

JUNE 21 is the longest day of the year when light levels are at their maximum, heralding a spurt in growth.

Unfortunately, this not only applies to our cultivated plants but the weeds as well, so regular hoeing is a must. This is also the time to start harvesting some of your crops, lettuce and strawberries to name but two.

Spring bulb clumps can now be divided and hanging baskets and pots can be put outside. Evergreen hedges can be trimmed to shape while roses and other climbers can be tied in to trellising.

Some herbaceous plants need to be supported with plant supports and, as always, dead head flowering plants to encourage more blooms.

Evenings on Unforgettable Radio sees the 'Black & White Radio Programme' being broadcast featuring vintage music from the 1920s to the 1950s. Every weekend the 'Easy Favourites Jukebox' takes to the air featuring songs from the likes of The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Roy Orbison, Simon & Garfunkel, Billy Joel and Sade.

Unforgettable Radio also broadcasts regular information about things to see and do in Chichester, including listings for the Chichester Cinema at New Park and the Chichester Jazz Club.

The station also supports small and independent businesses in the area by encouraging listeners to use them at a time when Chichester is seeing a number of much loved businesses close.

The most recent census data for Chichester shows one in four of the population is aged over 60, which is far higher than the national average of around 16 per cent.

Duncan Barkes, creator of Unforgettable Radio, said: "Most radio stations seem to forget anyone over the age of 60, which given the increasing senior population of Chichester, is rather unfair, which is why I've created Unforgettable Radio. We are not just an oldies station, we play those great songs sung by some of the finest modern day artists. It's a cool and laid back listen with the added bonus of supporting independent businesses and the local arts scene."

Unforgettable Radio is available to listen via internet radio, smart speaker and mobile devices. Find out more about the service, listen online and make contact by visiting: unforgettableradio. co.uk The radio station is currently a not-for-profit organisation.

FITTLEWORTH C of E Village School pupils have enjoyed a memorable stay at the Goodwood Estate where they got to grips with making their own food and visiting the farm animals.

The group of seven and eightyear-olds toured Goodwood’s Home Farm, a modern, organic working farm, to learn about different breeds of dairy and beef cows and organic milk, beef, pork and lamb production as well as the cereal crops grown there.

The visit, organised by the Goodwood Educational Trust, included Year 3 children seeing the cows being milked in the parlour, grinding wheat into flour, drinking fresh farm milk, making their own butter and bread rolls Goodwood’s head farmer, Conor Hayden, said: “Our focus is to make the clear connection for children between what we eat and production on the farm. We look at the process of grass to milk, seeing how cows are fed, housed and milked.

“The pupils had the most amazing time, playing, exploring and learning on the farm in a practical, handson way. The children had the bonus of bottle-feeding a lamb and seeing a calf being delivered. They were brilliant and very keen to learn with this unique opportunity.”

During their three-day stay at Goodwood, the youngsters enjoyed several walks through the 12,000 acre estate, going up the Trundle and to Seeley Copse, taking in the racecourse and spent two nights camping in the stables.

Fittleworth’s educational visit co-ordinator, Liz Wilmhurst, added: “The school has always valued this important resource which is right on our doorstep, so very accessible for our staff and children.

"It is a perfect first residential visit enabling our children to become accustomed to being away from home, developing their independence in a safe exciting educational environment.”

CHICHESTER College is celebrating the start of summer with the return of its free music festival later this month.

Chi-Fest will see the college campus come to life on Saturday with nine hours of live music across five stages, as well as an acoustic tent.

More than 50 live acts are set to perform at this musical extravaganza, showcasing the musical talents of college students, past and present, as well as local bands and choirs.

There will be plenty of family activities, with lots to keep the kids entertained including dance workshops, face-painting and singa-longs.

And if you feel inspired, there will be an open mic platform – allowing you the opportunity to shine on stage.

Andrew Green, Chichester College principal and executive principal of the Chichester College Group, said: “Chi-Fest is one of our biggest events and is a great way to bring the college and community together.

“There is so much talent taking to the stage, from here at the college and from the local area.

“As always, there will be a diverse mix of music styles from folk to rock and everything in between – I’m especially looking forward to our celebration of the music of Queen!

“There really is something for everyone and it is a great day out, giving you a chance to relax – and hopefully enjoy the sunshine with a soundtrack of fantastic live music.”

Performers at this year’s Chi-Fest, which is supported by the Chichester Music Academy and Ovation, include Lobster Pot, Bella Estelle, Wren and Suns Up. There will also be musical workshops and masterclasses, as well as food and drink.

Chi-Fest takes place on Saturday, from midday until 9pm and admission is free.

CHICHESTER City Band is looking forward to one of their main events of the year – their summer concert tomorrow (Saturday) for the opening night of the Festival of Chichester.

This will be served up in customary style by your award-winning local brass band and featuring several of our accomplished solo players and some of Rom’s own exciting compositions and arrangements."

Refreshments are included in the ticket price of £9 for adults with accompanied under-14s free of charge.

The performance will be held at St Paul’s Church, Churchside, Chichester PO19 6FT, at 7.30pm.

A SPECIAL evening was held at Chichester College's Restaurant64 with a Frenchthemed menu last Thursday.

The college students and staff created a four-course French menu to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Fishbourne twinning members attended and as Fishbourne is twinned with Langrune-sur-Mer in Normandy it was an ideal opportunity to have an enjoyable social evening as well as to remember the events on the beaches 75 years ago.

Twinning association chairman Linda Rice was

visiting Langrune-s-Mer in May of this year to investigate the possibility of a visit to France either later this year or early 2020.

For the rest of this year, the twinning group has organised various social events, some with a very specific French theme and others being of a more general nature.

There will be a stall at the Fishbourne school and church summer fete held at Fishbourne Primary School on Saturday, June 22, with information about France, Normandy and the twinning association.

Anyone is welcome to ask questions and join the group.

A MASONIC lodge based in Chichester has donated £5,000 to Chestnut Tree House to enable them to buy a new van.

The Lodge of Union 38 donated the money to enable the fundraising team at Chestnut Tree House to travel around Sussex more easily and safely.

Charlotte Waring, community fundraising manager at Chestnut Tree House, explained: “The wonderful people of Sussex invite us to all sorts of fundraising events throughout the year and we often have to carry a large amount of equipment with us.

"This van will make a huge difference to the team, allowing them to travel around safely, and ultimately allowing them to attend more events and raise more money for the charity.”

On presenting the van to Chestnut Tree House, Gary Sharp, from The Lodge of Union 38, said: “we are delighted to continue our relationship with the wonderful Chestnut Tree House children's hospice and hope that this vehicle will help to fulfill their needs.'

Chestnut Tree House is the children’s hospice for Sussex and south east Hampshire, caring for children with life-shortening conditions and their families.

It costs over £3.9 million every year to provide their care, and less that six per cent of their funding comes from central government.

The history of Petworth's Coultershaw Mill

By Portia Tremlett, public programme engagement officer at the Novium Museum SITUATED in a small rural community just south of Petworth, Coultershaw Mill is first thought to be mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, where there is reference to a mill at Petworth.

After its demolition in 1973, the site and accompanying Beam Pump were abandoned, until volunteers from the Sussex Industrial Archaeology Society began a five-year project to restore it.

In 2002, the Coultershaw Trust was formed to develop the heritage site, which re-opened in 2014 after a major grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

There have been a number of mills on this site which is located on the Rother Navigation, constructed between 1791 and 1794 by the 3rd Earl of Egremont as a way of improving movement of trade.

The Domesday Book shows that the mill at Coultershaw was valued at an annual rent of 26 shillings and a bucket of eels, and was used by local farmers to grind their grain into flour.

However, there were a variety of different mills at Coultershaw, including by 1240 a fulling mill, used to prepare cloth. By 1534 the site included a malting mill along with two corn mills, which by 1666 had risen to three.

In 1782, a beam pump was installed by the 3rd Earl of Egremont to pump water to Petworth. Beam pumps are known by

a number of different names, including a ‘nodding donkey’ or a ‘horsehead pump’. It is a counterbalanced pump which pumps liquids up and out of the ground using a drive motor and a system of pistons and counterweights. The pump could deliver 20,000 gallons of water per day, requiring over 6,600 revolutions of the waterwheel.

The corn mill was modernised in 1907 by John Gwillim, who was in charge of mills in Fittleworth and Midhurst. The wooden machinery and grind stones were replaced with steel shafting and rollers, which increased efficiency in production.

He was also able to increase productivity by controlling the water flow through the three mills he owned that were on the River Rother.

Sadly, in 1923, the mill burnt down, but was rebuilt within 12 months.

It was beset by misfortune again in 1946 when another fire severely damaged the mill, but this time it was able to be repaired. The mill was managed by the Gwillim family until its demolition in 1973.

The beam pump stopped pumping water to Petworth in 1960. It was adapted in 2012 with support from the Leconfield Estate, and an Archimedes screw turbine was installed which generates electricity from a sustainable source.

It now supplies the fountain at the heritage

site so that it can be seen in use. Although the original design of the pump is not known, it is an almost exact copy of George Sorocold’s pumps which were erected under London Bridge in 1705, and the Coultershaw beam pump is now the only surviving example.

The Coultershaw Mill Heritage Site is operated and maintained by volunteers, and

is open on some Sundays and bank holidays.

Visitors can see the beam pump in action, alongside the new Archimedes screw turbine.

There is also an engine house, 18th century lock, canal warehouses and stables to visit, set around a mill pond. For more information about opening times and admission prices, please visit: coultershaw.co.uk/

Middleton out to banish their losing streak

uk

PO22 9SL

f Bognor, top, and Pagham both won last weekend

MIDDLETON CC will look to bounce back from three successive defeats when they host Cuckfield tomorrow in the Sussex Premier Division (11.30am).

Sean Heather's side suffered a 79-run loss at Brighton & Hove last weekend in what proved to be a low-scoring game.

An excellent bowling display from Middleton restricted the home side to just 179 all out with Russell Talman (3-67) and Heather (5-60) bowling 38 of the 47 overs.

But in reply, the visitors struggled, with Patrick Colvin top scoring with 23 as they were bowled out for just 100.

That result leaves Middleton fifth in the ten team division, level on points and one spot behind tomorrow's opponents who travel south having won three of their last four.

In Division Two, Bognor will be looking to keep up the pressure on the top two when they host leaders Billingshurst tomorrow (12.30pm).

The Regis Oval side edged their way to a narrow victory over bottom side Goring last weekend with just one wicket in hand.

Josh Sargeant was the main man for Bognor with the ball as the opening bowler took six for 24 in 10.4 overs as Goring were

skittled out for just 99.

But Bognor struggled in reply, with only two players reaching double figures.

Fortunately, one of those was skipper Ryan Maskell who almost carried his bat in scoring 45.

After the captain was dismissed, it was left to number 10 Sargeant and last man Sam Adams to nervously edge Bognor over the line with one wicket and a few balls to spare.

They will need to be a lot better tomorrow against Billingshurst, who comprehensively defeated Chichester Priory Park by eight wickets last time out.

After winning the toss and choosing to bat, Chi struggled with only Matthew Bennison (40) at ease against a strong bowling attack.

His effort was in vain though as Priory only mustered a score of 94 all out, a total which the home side reached with plenty to spare.

Chi, who are now third bottom, welcome St James's Montefiore to Goodwood tomorrow (12.30pm).

In Division Three West, tabletopping Pagham head to Ansty tomorrow (12.30pm) looking to follow up an eight wicket win over West Chiltington & Thakeham.

Jack Stannard (60*) and Nick Smith (64) put on 100 for the second wicket in chasing down a score of 143.

Chi colts star at Twickenham YOUNG Chichester rugby players had a day to remember when they ran out on the hallowed turf of Twickenham ahead of the Rugby Premiership final.

The clubs under 11s and under 12s sides took to the pitch at rugby HQ alongside World Cup winning captain Martin Johnson after performing well in the national Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup. Their reward for their efforts also included the chance to watch Exeter Chiefs and Saracens battle it out for the title as well as meeting with former England star Johnson pre-match.

Chichester player Freddie Salmon was additionally awarded the honour of being nominated for the Junior Land Rover Discovery of the Season award, with the 11-year-old admitting the whole day had been one to savour.

Freddie said: "My team did so well to be invited to watch the Premiership Rugby final and I was chuffed to find out I had been nominated for an award.

“We have made a lot of memories along the way and Twickenham is just the highlight of it all.

“We have been here before when we were in under 7s and played a match on the pitch so I kind of knew what to expect, but it was still amazing to see the stadium. I was still so excited.

“I’m so proud to be a part of this team. We all enjoyed watching Saracens versus Exeter and it was great to see Owen Farrell because I really look up to him.”

Another player to shine was William Heaver, who starred for the under 12s and also received an honour for his age group.

He said: “I have been to Twickenham once or twice before, but never for the Premiership Rugby final so the whole day was really exciting.

“I was quite nervous when I found out we were going down to the pitch, but it felt amazing to know what the players must feel like when they walk out.

“I’m so proud of my team for getting there.

They all put in lots of hard work and we were all so happy to have a fun day together at Twickenham."

Chi's teams were among 24 teams in attendance for the final – representing two sides for each age category from the festivals hosted by each of the 12 Gallagher Premiership Rugby clubs throughout the season.

This is the 11th year of the national grassroots rugby initiative, with more than 85,000 youngsters participating in the event to date – enough to fill Twickenham

Stadium.

Johnson said: "It’s all about giving people the opportunity to play.

"It’s great to see kids just playing and enjoying themselves. Being here at Twickenham, they will all have a dream that one day they’ll play here for their club or their country.

"Ultimately, I tell kids all the time, why do we play sport? Because we enjoy doing it.

"We enjoy playing with our team mates, the camaraderie of it, we enjoy the challenge, so anytime you can get people together is good."

NYECAMP NEWS

Interview with GM Simon Cook

By Tim Ridgway

THROUGHOUT the offseason we will be speaking to people involved with the Rocks about life behind the scenes at Nyewood Lane.

One of the key figures is Simon Cook, who, after years of performing the role of club secretary, has now taken on the reins of general manager from Jack Pearce.

In part two of a Q&A, Simon explains how he became hooked at Nyewood Lane and his hopes for the club in the coming season.

How did you become involved with the Rocks?

I first started watching the Rocks almost by chance in 1982, when a friend encouraged me to take in a match, and very quickly became hooked.

I was invited on to the committee in 2001 and became club secretary a year later.

Do you have time to watch the matches?

Yes - although I sometimes find away matches more relaxing than matches at Nyewood Lane where there is so much more to be done on match days.

What's your favourite memory of watching the club?

It's a long time ago but the wonderful FA Cup win against Swansea in 1984 was a superb performance and very much deserved.

More recently, the FA Trophy campaign of a couple of years ago, when we reached the semi-final, was a great experience.

To have beaten so many excellent teams from a higher level en route to the semi-final was quite incredible.

Do you have a favourite player?

f Chichester RFC under 11s

Sport 39

There have been so may great players who have represented the club over the years I have been watching.

Of the more recent crop, I am delighted that James Crane has rejoined us from Worthing.

In years gone by, players such as Adie Miles and Michael Birmingham spring to mind.

What are your hopes for the club next season and beyond?

I would hope that we can steer clear of serious injuries this season as they cost us significantly last season, and mount a credible challenge for promotion.

Although the National League South proved challenging for us two seasons ago, I believe that we should be capable of surviving at that level.

It's always nice to have a good cup run as well, and it's been a long time since we enjoyed seeing a Football League club at Nyewood Lane in the FA Cup. How can people get involved with the club?

We have been very fortunate in having had so many volunteers come forward to offer their time to assist the club and we are always grateful to them.

Apart from the playing staff, everyone at the club is a volunteer and we do it because we want to see the club thrive and perform as well as possible.

If supporters have a particular skill or just feel like offering their time, please just get in contact with me.

We could, for example, do with someone who has a few spare hours a week that could be spent on assisting Brian Quinnell in keeping the ground clean and tidy.

Ashton commits to the Rocks for next season

Felpham Five brings best out of Tone Zone cohort SCORES of runners were in a race against the tide and time for the annual Felpham Five.

The traditional event sees competitors trek along the coast to Elmer and back across the sand, shingle and rock pools.

The five and a half mile course is made slightly harder by the heavy strong wind on the way back!

This didn’t seem to turn away any runners though, as 52 members from Bognor Tone Zone signed up for the event.

Jack Penfold finished second overall after a hard-fought battle with club mate Callum Aldous.

The pair were neck and neck for the final two miles of the race, before finishing second and third in times of 29 minutes 17 seconds (29:17) and 29:22.

Christo Ooshuizen finished fourth in a time of 29:43 with David Roe and Byron Kearns rounding out the top 10 places.

Tone Zone's Jess Thomson was the first of the ladies to cross the line in a time of 32:46, 2 minutes 30 seconds ahead of Carolyn Stapely who was the second lady overall.

Gary Smith and Donna Strowger had a little sprint finish and ended only two seconds apart, with Gary just edging Donna this time.

Lisa Joyce, Natalie Tribe, Marzena Sowinka, Kirstee Porter, Stephen Brown, Claire Baker and Ian Ashberry all broke the 45 minute barrier in the tough conditions.

In her first race for the club, Susan Brigstock-Parker finished in 50 minutes.

Crossing the line hand in hand were Lisa Broad, Sue Hayward, Sarah Ashberry and Beth Suter, all helping each other through the race to finish in 53:30.

Elsewhere, Chichester Runners athlete Helen Dean did her country proud, running for England in the Masters’ Road Race Championships which formed part of the Great Birmingham 10k She finished third in the V60 category, coming home in a time of 46.45.

Helen admitted she was "extremely nervous".

She added: "It was an amazing experience with highs and lows throughout, one which I will never forget and which I consider was a real privilege to be part of."

Sportinbrief î ?

Football PAGHAM FC have confirmed their management team for next season as the club looks to put together a promotion push.

The SCFL Premier side fell off towards the end of last season as injuries hit the club hard.

Chairman Tony Shea has resisted the urge to make major changes, confirming that Tom Simmonds will return as manager of the Nyetimber Lane side. He will be assisted

by Lee Baldwin, Luke Cooper and Jack Millard.

Local tradesmen looking to help the club get ready for next season are invited to a work day on June 24 from 8am.

Sponsors are also sought for the club's annual race night on June 28, where entrants could have their name on the club's shirt for next season.

f Rocks skipper Harvey Whyte

THE Rocks' rebuilding ahead of next season continues with the re-signing of Ashton Leigh - and Bognor boss Jack Pearce believes there will be more to come in the next week.

The talented young left-back put pen to paper on a deal this week to complete a permanent switch from Baffins Milton Rovers.

Leigh, the son of former Rocks favourite Steve, joined from the Wessex Premier on loan towards the end of last season and impressed in the final few months of the season.

He joins fellow left-sided player James Crane as Bognor's only two confirmed signings ahead of the forthcoming Bostik Premier division campaign.

But boss Pearce said he expects there to be more confirmed additions in the next few days with skipper Harvey Whyte among those likely to commit their immediate futures to the Nyewood Lane side.

Pearce said: "Ashton has shown great promise when he has played for us and we are delighted to have him on board full-time.

"He has bags of potential, he has plenty of desire and is keen to learn. His fitness is good and I think if we can help him develop

Email: sport@sussexpost.co.uk

his defensive game, particularly one-on-one defending, he is going to prove to be a very good acquisition."

The defender will hope to build on a successful run in the Rocks first 11 towards the end of last season.

He even managed to get his hands on silverware, playing an instrumental role as Bognor saw off the challenge from Burgess Hill Town with a 2-1 victory at Brighton's Amex stadium last month.

Meanwhile, the club has again held admission prices for the coming season and will also continue to offer attractive admission prices for younger supporters with a free season ticket available for all under 16s.

The admission prices for 2019/20 for terracing will be adults, ÂŁ12 (season ticket: ÂŁ201); senior citizen (over 65) ÂŁ10 (season ticket: ÂŁ168); U18s (and students with ID) ÂŁ5 (season ticket: ÂŁ84).

Seating is adults, ÂŁ13 (season ticket: ÂŁ218); senior citizen ÂŁ11 (season ticket: ÂŁ184).

Under 16s as of August 10 can apply to the club for free season tickets.

Season tickets will be on sale from July 8. For more details, call 01243 822325.
