Cracks show in city centre BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE county council is spending almost ÂŁ70,000 a year to repair streets in the city centre, councillors have been told. THe amount was confirmed after a question was raised over deterioration of the pavements in the city centre and how they can be fixed. At the meeting of the South Chichester
County Local Committee at County Hall on Tuesday evening, Cllr Sarah Sharp said: "I am grateful that West Sussex County Council is starting work on repairing the pavements in Chichester city centre. "Can we have assurance that these repairs will be sufficient to withstand the extra use that the streets undergo as a result of the many vans and lorries that the markets use to set up on the city streets? "Will the repairs be good enough to prevent the large number of people
falling over in the city and will they be of a standard to encourage back into the city all those people who no longer shop here for fear of falling over and tripping?" Chris Dye, county council area highway manager, said: "Firstly, we acknowledge that the city centre and the condition of it is not great. "What I would like to set out quite clearly is that we undertake monthly walk inspections of the city centre and we will raise any defect that we find to be unsafe.
"Longer-term, there is the need for a public realm scheme - a complete enhancement for the city centre. "Eight or ten years ago, a group was formed between the city, district and county councils and there is a document to show what the city centre could look like. "It was priced at ÂŁ5 million, eight years ago, so it obviously now would be double that." Turn to page three

AROUND 490 people have signed a petition asking the county council to construct a pedestrian crossing in St Paul's Road. THe petition was created by resident, Mrs Barbara Teasdale, with support from Cllr Clare Apel for the safety of people crossing the road by the junctions of Norwich Road and Sherbourne Road. Mrs Teasdale placed the petition in the nearby chemist and said she was just getting views on what the community thought. Speaking at the South Chichester County Local Committee at County Hall on Tuesday evening, where she presented the petition, she said: "We wish to request the provision of a safe, pedestrian crossing in St Paul's Road. We would prefer the light controlled crossing but we are open to suggestions for any improvement for pedestrian safety at this junction. "We understand the difficulties the layout of this junction presents to highways but our problem is that all amenities; doctors, shops, post office, churches, vets and especially the schools are all used by East Broyle residents and all lie within Parklands on the south side of St Paul's Road. "In winter, for almost five months, early evenings bring a combination of darkness and headlights travelling at speed. THen this road is almost impossible to cross at certain times,
esecialy for children returning from school. "Centurion Way is not a safe option. It is not lit. THe crossing at the One Stop requires an additional 0.7 of a mile. "No child is going to deliberately almost double their walking distance. THis is an access that needs attention before the proposed White House Farm development adds to the difficulties. "We are requesting your support in BY KEL what, for the residents, is a vital matter ofkelly.wickha safety for the young, the old and the not so fast members of our community."

It is a nightmare. I know crossing from Norwich Road to Sherbourne Road in a car it is difficult enough." Mrs Teasdale said the petition was not taken to people directly. She added: "We simply put the petition in the chemist and that was the result. We just wanted to know what the community thought."

Moon landing is to be celebrated with festival

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk WITH 50 years passing since the first manned landing on the moon, Chichester's Planetarium is hosting some special events. MoonFest! is a series of events hosted by THe South Downs Planetarium to educate and entertain residents and visitors of all ages. Dr John Mason said: "THis July, we shall be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first manned landing on the moon. Come and join in the fun. THere will be opportunities to look through telescopes, handle a spacerock, take part in lots of hands-on activities and many special shows, films and presentations.
THere is something for all the family." THe Planetarium is located to the south of the city of Chichester, by the campus of the High School. With its 100-seater auditorium, colourful displays and well-stocked sales kiosk, the Planetarium has something for would-be astronauts and stargazers aged six years and above. In 1961, United States president John F. Kennedy announced he wanted to land humans on the moon. THe United States had just started trying to put people in space. Apollo 11 blasted off on July 16, 1969, with Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins the three astronauts on board. Four days later, Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon in the lunar module,
called the Eagle. Collins stayed in orbit around the moon. THe sign the astronauts left on the moon says: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind." On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to step on the moon. He and Aldrin walked around for three hours and carried out experiments. THey also picked up bits of moon dirt and rocks. THe two astronauts returned to orbit, joining Collins and on July 24, 1969, all three astronauts came back to Earth safely.

"We spent £68,000 in the last financial year on just repairs. Quite frankly, we would need ten times that amount to keep on top of it. "I have spoken to city council and district council officers about a joint approach to a solution because I think there have been comments that it is a county council problem and because it is a highways issue we should solve it. "I challenge that because I know in other areas, Arun District Council and Crawley Borough Council have led public realm schemes and they have delivered those schemes with West Sussex Highways almost as a consultee. "A significant investment is required to get it to a suitable standard but I will continue to have those conversations with colleagues." Cllr Jamie Fitzjohn said: "All levels of local authority have to work together as we all serve the same residents. "Chichester city centre pavements and pedestrian areas need improving and therefore it makes sense that all three councils come together to deliver the best solution. "Year on year, the county council spends a considerable amount of money on making repairs to the pavements in Chichester, which is not sustainable. "Last night at the Chichester South CLC meeting I stated that I will be inviting district councillor Martyn
Bell and city councillor Anne Scicluna to meet with me to find a way that all three councils can work together on this project. I will also be inviting one other sistrict and city councillor (who represent a Chichester ward) to attend the meeting. I have asked officers to make the arrangements." After the meeting, Cllr Sharp told the Chichester Post: "It is clearly positive that Cllr Fitzjohn is willing to set up a working group across the three layers of council to look into this. We must put away the thinking that one council has a responsibility for roads and the others aren't going to help fund or get involved. "Co-operation has to be our priority. THe streets have taken a hammering recently and are in a deplorable state that is causing many hospital admissions and stopping people coming into the city. THis must be a top priority for all councillors. We owe it to all of the residents to make their visit to the city centre safe." THe Mayor, Cllr Richard Plowman, said: "I feel very strongly that new pavements are needed and this will be a priority of the new city council. "Patching the pavement is not the best solution just as repairing potholes never really solves the problem of the roads. I have already actioned quotes for replacing the pavements and stop the continual toll of people tripping and falling over on a daily basis. People in Chichester should look up, not down at their feet all the time. Time for surgery not sticking plasters!"

City council declares climate emergency BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk COUNCILLORS from the city have united and unanimously voted to declare a climate emergency. THe new council, formed now of members from all parties (Greens, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Labour), heard from Cllr Sarah Sharp from the Green party on her proposals from December. THe Mayor, Cllr Richard Plowman showed a video put together by the Harbour Villages Group, which demonstrated the risks attached with flooding of many thousands of homes on the coast due to temperature rises of just a few degrees. Councillors agreed that a working group would be set up under the chairmanship of Cllr Bethan Norrell. THe group would have a short deadline of just six months to put together plans. Cllr Sharp said: "I am hugely relieved that the council has agreed to back this climate change motion. "Working together with our colleagues will be key over the coming months. THere are a huge number of good ideas out there for planting trees, working with schools and writing to Parliament and the MP so that enough money is provided to local councils to carry out the changes needed. "People from all political backgrounds are taking this seriously. THere is a recognition that there are things we can do as individuals but there are bigger things we will have to do together, for
example, making sure that safe cycle ways get put in and people on low incomes are supported with insulating their houses. THese things can't be done by individuals and that is why we need to act as councils to enable our residents to live more sustainably. "THe changes we make to cope with climate change must improve the lives of the many and climate change should not be something just for the rich who have enough money to think about this." THe motion for the reduction of singleuse plastics was also passed at the same meeting. Plans include promoting deposit schemes and looking into expanding community use of Terracycle. Cllr Sharp added: "THere is so much still needing to be done to reduce our reliance on plastic. But we are talking about these issues now. "We just need to keep on talking and carrying these conversations through to our MP and Parliament that can make the real changes that manufacturers will need to take on board. "Even our market stallholders are telling me they are keen to get on board with this. Perhaps Chichester could have a plastic-free market?" On World Environment Day (June 5) the West Sussex Climate Pledge asked everyone in the county to commit to make small changes, including making low carbon journeys and passing on plastic. Cllr Jamie Fitzjohn, from the county council, asked members of the city council how many had signed up to the pledge. Just a couple of councillors raised their hands to confirm they had.
f Pupils celebrate the rating
City's high school celebrates with high ratings from Ofsted A SCHOOL in Chichester has received a Good rating by Ofsted inspectors since it merged. On May 21 and 22, the school had their first Ofsted inspection as Chichester High School after the boys and girls schools merged. Headteacher Jo McKeown said she was very pleased that Chichester High School had been rated a 'Good' school, good in all areas, with an 'Outstanding' sixth form. THe areas in which the school was marked included: • Effectiveness of leadership and management- Good • Quality of teaching, learning and assessment - Good • Personal development, behaviour
and welfare- Good • Outcomes for pupils - Good • Sixth form - Outstanding THe headteacher added: "We have been working tirelessly to improve results, areas of our curriculum and teaching and assessment so that all our pupils leave us with meaningful qualifications that support their post 16 choices. "THe report reflects this and also supports us in recognising we have the capacity and right structures in place to continue developing as we move forward. My aim now is to embed and secure the recent changes that have been made to raise standards across the school, and maintain the excellent experience of our sixth form pupils."

Results are in for consultation on council's city parking plan BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk OVER half the people who completed a questionnaire over parking plans for the city were opposed to the ideas. At a meeting held on Tuesday evening, councillors were shown a presentation which detailed the results and showed a strong objection to the plans. Around 1, 341 responses were received in total on the on-street parking consultation being run by the county council. City-wide proposals for tackling growing pressure on on-street parking were put forward and the consultation went live on March 1. Of those who replied to the questionnaire, 36 per cent supported the need for the parking management plan, while 57 per cent opposed the plan. THe most popular zone where people responded to the questionnaire was Zone I, which is around East Broyle in the city, with 40 per cent supporting the plans. THe results, shown to members of the South Chichester County Local Committee, at County Hall, also showed that those people outside the zoned parking areas were more opposed to the proposals than those within it. Miles Davy, West Sussex’s lead professional on the parking strategy team, stated that this was logical. He said: "If you are coming to work to
Chichester we would generally accept we would get more types of objections from those users. "THere are no real patterns except maybe a south-east, north-west split but there are very individual areas within those which are the industrial areas of Terminus Road and Quarry Lane. "THere are very specific issues that are raised there by local businesses which is why there is a higher level of objection there." One of the questions asked whether people supported proposals for their specific zone of interest. However, only 23 per cent of people answered the question, leaving councillors puzzled. Mr Davy said: "I can't explain why that is but what we found though is that people answered it in a very broad fashion." After the meeting, Cllr Jamie Fitzjohn, Chichester South, told the Chichester Post: "My initial reaction was one of surprise due to the percentage of objections but people do not like change. "Miles is working on the report to break down some of the data and will be presenting it to the members soon. "West Sussex County Council have engaged with residents through the informal consultation and will use the results to formulate a preferred option for the formal consultation." "THis is democracy in action, as residents are being listened too." Mr Davy confirmed that nearly half of
all respondents from within the zones (47 per cent) support the principle of the PMP for Chichester. THere was also more support for the principle than for the actual proposals currently ‘on the table’.

He said: “Dan brings to the cathedral theological gifts, and a desire to develop its role as a theological resource for the diocese and broaden links with different organisations and groups of people.” Dr Inman has long held a deep affection for the cathedral and is enthusiastic about the opportunities provided by Bishop Martin’s invitation to serve as canon chancellor: “I have long admired the cathedral’s witness to Christ as much through its deep commitment to the tradition as by its imaginative engagement with contemporary society and culture. "I’m eager to build upon this heritage with the dean and chapter to encourage ambitious theological exploration, apologetics and thought-provoking hospitality to the diocese, city and county in the coming years. "I hope this new role will help many more in due course, as in the words of St Richard’s prayer, ‘to know Christ more clearly, love him more dearly, and follow him more nearly'."

City school get top review and inclusion in good school guide CHICHESTER’S Oakwood School has received a glowing review from THe Good Schools Guide. THe school has been included for the first time in the UK’s number one trusted guide to state, independent and special schools. Inclusion in the guide is valued by schools as its reviews are conducted independently. Schools are not allowed to apply to be included, nor can they pay to be added or contribute any content if they are selected for review. Writers take the views of as many pupils and parents as possible and their unbiased and candid reviews include every aspect from academic achievements to enrichment, extracurricular activities and general atmosphere. Oakwood’s reviewer observed lessons, reporting that they ‘saw lively, engaging teachers’ with children who ‘were happy and busy learning'. Alongside this, the number of clubs and activities, from Lego or cooking, to sports or simply enjoying the
school’s beautiful environment, were commended. Attention in the guide was drawn to Oakwood’s culture of ‘kindness and support’, stating that, ‘Parents bubble over with enthusiasm for Oakwood, and the strong community here appears to embrace everyone, from parents, children and staff, to the inhouse builders, caterers and cleaners.’ THe events of last Christmas were also highlighted, when headteacher Clare Bradbury opened up the school for Christmas Day lunch and festivities to anyone in the Chichester area, young or old, who would otherwise be alone on the day. She said: "We are delighted to receive such a wonderful independent written review. "THis prestigious guide to helping parents choose the right school for their children is valued for its independence and we are very proud to be recognised for the key strengths which make Oakwood unique."

Sea's the day at new Selsey exhibition BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE IMPORTANCE of Selsey's fishing industry has been celebrated in a new exhibition at the Novium Museum in the city centre. THe exhibition tells the stories of the local fishermen and women, who help generate a staggering £1.5 million for the local economy each year. Sea’s the Day: THe Story of the Selsey Fishery, highlights the need to make sure this vital industry thrives in the future and celebrates over 1,000 years of Selsey’s fishing industry. THe fishing community of Selsey gave the town its unique identity. THrough their voices, the exhibition provides a snapshot of the industry today and captures how it has changed over recent decades. Visitors to the exhibition can enjoy a special ten-minute film featuring interviews with the Selsey fishing community, and three fascinating audio stories about Selsey’s ties to the sea told through the voices of fishermen and women, and their families. THe exhibition is part of Sea’s the Day, a project developed in partnership between the Selsey Fishery, Selsey Town Council, Chichester District Council, and the Manhood Peninsula Partnership, which aims to raise people’s awareness of their local fishing industry and help preserve its future for years to come. A successful grant application secured £35,800 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which has helped to support a series of activities to promote
this important industry and re-engage the town with its fishing heritage. THere is also a book packed with fascinating stories and memories from the fishing community and a series of recipe cards with recipes from restaurants, pubs and cafés in Selsey and the Manhood Peninsula to encourage the use of locally caught produce. Roy Briscoe, cabinet member for community services and culture at Chichester District Council, said: "I’m delighted that the Sea’s the Day exhibition will help to share Selsey’s important fishing heritage with thousands of visitors to THe Novium Museum, locals and tourists alike. "THe Selsey Fishery is the heart of the town and I hope that people will be inspired to support the fishermen and women to help make sure that this important industry continues to thrive. We’d like to thank the National Lottery Heritage Fund for their support of
this important project." Andrew Brown, Selsey Town Council’s chairman, added: "THe Seas the Day project as a whole is about safeguarding and strengthening Selsey’s fishing industry through its heritage. "THe exhibition is one part of its legacy, an opportunity to share and promote Selsey’s fishing industry so that
together we can protect its long-term sustainability. "I hope that Seas the Day encourages Chichester District residents and tourists to purchase locally sourced fish and seafood, either in local restaurants or fresh from the fishermen and women at East Beach, Selsey. "I thank Selsey’s fishermen and women

Amazing volunteers and businesses working together to help homeless BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CITY BUSINESSES, members of the public and volunteers all work together every week to help look after the homeless in Chichester. Charity, THe Four Streets Project was started in January 2017 by Donna Ockenden, her daughter Phoebe and sister, Caiti after they would take extra food from their family meal on plates and share it. At only 18, Donna had found herself homeless and with full responsibility for her four siblings aged four to 16 in Bristol in 1985. THe successful businesswoman was given a civic award by the council in February for her tireless work which also includes the Community Coat Rack, run during the winter to give free coats to those in need. Her daughter, Phoebe received the Young Citizen’s Award at the Chichester City Council Awards for her work with homeless people in March last year. THe support Donna and her charity have received from across the city has helped the Four Streets Project to grow. She said: "THe Four Streets Project has provided compassionate nightly support to the hungry and homeless on the streets of Chichester since 2016. "Our volunteers come from all walks of life and they volunteer because they care about the plight of the people we meet. Our approach is to be consistentwe never miss a night - providing a seven nights a week / 365 day a year service. THe homeless and hungry know they can absolutely rely on us.
"All volunteers working with Four Streets believe that no one in Chichester should be hungry and thirsty and that first and foremost we must meet that need. We encounter hungry and thirsty people on the ‘Four Streets’ of Chichester seven nights a week." Dawn and Rob who own Fenwick's Cafe in Priory Park donate water to the charity, while Purchases Restaurant in North Street make fresh, homemade soup and Adam Papadamou, owner of fish and chip shop LA Fish in THe Hornet donate hot food to the charity too. Dawn said: "We decided to help the project as it benefits local homeless people, throughout our business we pride ourselves on using local companies to supply our fresh produce, i think this goes hand in hand. I think all charity should start at home." Adam added: "I've been helping the homeless for the past 38 years with great pleasure. Its how I have been raised, to help anyone I can and give back where I can. "THe greatest feeling for me is when I see people come back into the shop and they have turned their life around, at that moment in time, that's the moment that counts and that's why I keep helping when and where I can." Donna continues: "In addition to providing food and water we believe in helping the homeless to maintain their dignity wherever possible. We ensure that everyone has access to basic supplies - toothbrushes, wipes, deodorant etc and provide basic supplies such as new socks and new underwear on a regular basis." THe staff at Q Hair and Beauty in Chichester have been rallying round to help the homeless by buying essential

Daryll Mendoza has his own electrical company, Express Electrical Services Ltd based in Chichester but gives up his spare time, along with his son, to help the charity including delivering food on a Saturday night. Donna said: "We could not do what we do without the fantastic support of our nightly volunteers, the kind members of the public who regularly donate to us and the local businesses who support us. "Many of them are mentioned in this article and as the Founder and Chair of the Four Streets Project I would like to extend my huge thanks to everyone! "We simply couldn’t provide the care we do to the hungry, thirsty and homeless people we meet every night without the support you give Four Streets." Mayor of the city, Cllr Richard Plowman said: "THe Chichester community is great. When a call for help comes out from a charity like the Four Street Project there is no hesitation and local shops have stepped forward immediately so many thanks from all of us. "Looking after the homeless in Chichester is important, many are there due to unfortunate sets of circumstances not from choice. We have some excellent charities such as Stonepillow, St Pancras Church and City Angels with Four Streets Project who are combining their resources to tackle sadly what is becoming a more frequent sight of rough sleepers in the city "THere are many challenges for Chichester at the moment and we all need to pull together because there is one thing we all have in common we love and care about Chichester."

Eva raises funds by selling creations for the homeless BY KELLY WICKHAM
kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A PUPIL from Bosham Primary School has raised £250 for a homeless charity in the city. Eva Strange, aged seven, heard about the Four Streets Project charity with her family through a Facebook post about the Community Coat Rack. Her stepmother, Nikki said: "We all donated a coat and this got us thinking about how we could help. We thought about donating soup as a first step. "Eva then came down one Sunday morning and said she wanted to do some fundraising. We were just talking and I asked her which charity she wanted to fundraise for. She didn't really know so I told her about Guide Dogs, Cancer Research, Heart Foundation and the Four Streets Project. "She had a think and came back to me saying she thought Four Streets because it was close by. I showed her the page wish list and we thought it would be good if she raised £10 to help buy a roll mat and a thermal hat for the project." Eva decided by herself she would make the loom bands and her parents suggested she should start a notebook to make an order book. Nikki and Eva's dad also decided to open a just giving page to make it easier for people to donate and posted a message on Facebook. THe whole family got behind her on both her parents' sides and within
minutes she had her first orders and within half an hour had already raised £40. Nikki continued: "Eva worked so hard all day and even drafted her stepsister in to help as she had so many orders. THe project carried on for two weeks and she raised £250 in total. "Her whole family are so proud of her! She initiated the project and really understood how the money would help local homeless people. We think Eva is very caring and we are very proud of how much empathy she shows for others. Our friends have commented how inspiring she is! "Eva has recently said she would like to do some more loom banding this time with her friends to raise money for her school."

A farewell as books moved BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk LAST SATURDAY, St Wilfrid’s Hospice shared a goodbye to the Grosvenor Road building with some of the supporters, local residents, staff and families who have helped make the place so special over the last 32 years. Among those reminiscing over the dozens of photo albums was Debbie Johnson, attending in memory of her father. "I really appreciated the chance for a trip down memory lane," Debbie said. "Looking back at the Moonlight Walk 2012 pictures where I met my then future husband so soon after my father had passed, brings back just how important the support of St Wilfrid’s was after he died. You see how cherished this place is to the people it’s helped through grief. "I’m sure that many more families are really going to appreciate St Wilfrid’s support from the lovely new hospice in Bosham." On Monday, lead chaplain, James Cooper led a congregation of volunteers, staff and trustees in transferring the memory books that hold the names of all those who have died under the care of St Wilfrid’s. Each page has been lovingly tended to by volunteer calligraphers to create a permanent record. THe books were taken to the new
` Charity death
hospice in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, kindly loaned for the occasion by the Duke of Richmond. James said: "Each book has its page turned daily so that each day we show those who have died with us on that same day over the past three decades. It’s all part of respecting that our patients are our patients in life and in death. "THeir new home in the new hospice chapel continues the tradition of providing a beautiful and restful place of quiet reflection." St Wilfrid’s Hospice is opening its state of the art new building in Walton Lane, Bosham, to new patients on July 8. Chief executive Alison Moorey said: "We’ve been extremely proud residents of Donnington and these events have been an opportunity for us all to reflect on how far we have come. "With the memory books safely placed in their new home with us in Bosham, we can honour the past whilst we look to the future. "We are excited to soon share our new hospice with people and show how much love and compassion there can be in tailored end of life care." You can join a public tour of the new hospice in August and find out about the incredible support St Wilfrid’s offers free to people living with terminal illness.

A CHICHESTER and Bognor Regis charity has announced the death of its founder. Stonepillow, the homeless charity, has confirmed the death of the Rev Hilary Parsons. Hilary founded the charity, formerly known as St Richard of Chichester Christian Care Association, in 1989, following the death of a young homeless man in Chichester. Hilary was one of two deacons at St Richard’s Catholic Church in Cawley Road and held a meeting to see how they could provide practical support to homeless people in the city. He decided a hostel was needed and the Carmelite nuns from the convent in Hunston gifted the charity the gardener’s cottage across the road, which is known as St Joseph’s. Today, it is home to Stonepillow’s 17 bed 24-hour hostel, and 2019 marks the charity’s 30th anniversary. Over the last three decades, they have expanded their services to support the growing number of people who find themselves on the streets. Stonepillow provides a range of services in Chichester, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, including day centres, hostels, a recovery service, supported housing and two charity shops. Clare Apel, Stonepillow trustee, said: "Hilary was a wonderfully caring and spiritual man. He had great compassion and was very much loved by everyone who met him."

Uni wheelchair AN AMBITIOUS basketball player from Chichester has thanked a charity after she was given thousands of pounds to buy a new wheelchair that will help her play at the highest level. Bobbi Clarke, a student at the University of Chichester, received more than £2,000 from the Steve Bernard Foundation for the custom-made chair, which she will use for the upcoming season. THe 24-year-old, who plays for Littlehampton Tornadoes wheelchair basketball club, was an aspiring boxer before suffering a seizure last year which left her unable to move her right arm and leg. Final-year student Bobbi, who is training to become a primary school teacher, said: “I spent my entire life playing sport so it has been hard not being able to do what I love. I’m so grateful to the Steve Bernard Foundation and can’t wait to start using the new chair in competitive games. “Basketball wheelchair has given me an opportunity to be active again,
helping my physical and mental health enormously. I am really enjoying training with the team and would be lost without it.” THe foundation, which is based in Bournemouth, was created and named in honour of the University of Chichester student who died in a car crash in 2005. THe charity raises money for community sport projects across the south coast, often through extreme activities, and has recently celebrated reaching a milestone £400,000 target. THe custom-made wheelchair, which cost around £4,000 and took three months to build, will help Bobbi compete with the league’s best wheelchair basketball players, with a faster profile and extendable height. She and the university had already raised around £2,000 through charity projects with fellow students, before the foundation match-funded the rest.

Fleet vehicles
A CAMPAIGN promoting West Sussex’s many visitor attractions is driving forward with eye-catching, newly-branded fleet vehicles. Several county council vehicles now sport promotions for ‘Experience West Sussex’, which showcases local attractions, helps people to discover all our county has to offer, and enables residents and visitors to ‘see more, do more, explore more’. Now in its fifth year, Experience West Sussex has a dedicated and growing social media following of around 40,000. THe website features more than 300 local businesses, and there is a regular e-newsletter people can sign up to. THe initiatives are delivered through a recently launched countywide Experience West Sussex Partnership of local authorities, including the county council, which work together to share best practice, and provide leadership in the promotion and support of tourism.
County council leader Louise Goldsmith said: “West Sussex is blessed with an abundance of fascinating places to visit and stay, from historic castles to vast country estates, the South Downs to the coast, pretty villages nestled in the landscape to towns packed with retail experiences, heritage and culture. “Experience West Sussex celebrates this wealth of visitor experiences to be enjoyed and the economic value and quality of tourism to our businesses and county. THe tourism sector delivers 48,800 jobs and close to £1billion to the county’s economy annually. “We have a vibrant and diverse visitor economy and these branded vehicles are one way we are highlighting and promoting its success.” THe vehicles were rolled out in time for Sussex Day on Sunday, June 16, which celebrated the county's rich history and culture.

` Step project A PROJECT addressing high rates of depression and loneliness among men in the UK and Europe has been launched by the University of Chichester. THe initiative, known as Step by Step, will look to improve the mental and physical health of men at high risk of social isolation through engaging with others in speciallybuilt sheds and workshops. It follows a recent European Commission report which found that men account for 77 per cent of all suicides in the EU. THe university is partnering with organisations to develop a new model for the internationally-recognised men in sheds concept – community spaces where people meet to learn new skills and engage in activities used in the labour market – to improve their mental and physical health and wellbeing. As many as 94 new sheds will be built in the UK. Dr Ruth Lowry, a reader in the Psychology of Active Living from the university, is leading the evaluation of the project, which will conclude in 2021. She said: “Step by Step will make a real difference to men, whether socially-isolated or suffering poor mental or physical health. “THe approaches the project will develop through the workshops – including social engagement, skills development and confidencebuilding – will not only benefit them, but also the wider community.” Participants will be trained as health and employment champions for this new approach, as well as in soft skills, interviewing and empowerment.
Poll shows need to be scam aware TWO out of three people in south-east England had been approached by a scammer, a poll for a Chichester and Bognor Regis residents' help-point has found. Sixty four per cent of residents were asked to part with their money in dubious circumstances in the past two years, says Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice. Worringly, only 46 per cent of those targeted had spoken to anyone about their experience. Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice is staging events to raise awareness of the need to report and talk about scams. THe next session will take place from 9.30am-1pm next THursday at the Tesco superstore in Shripney Road, Bognor Regis. THis follows the initial session yesterday at Chichester's Tesco Extra. THe events are being supported by trading standards officers, Sussex Police and NatWest Community Banking. Luca Badioli, Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice's chief executive, said: "Stop, report, talk: Be #scamaware is our message to people in Arun and Chichester. "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 reporting their experiences but, sadly, this means perpetrators are getting away scotfree. "In reality, all of us can have the bad
luck of being targeted with a scam. "We hope this scams awareness campaign will encourage people to share their stories and learn tips to stop scammers running off with people's money." More than half of the scams reported to the Citizens Advice consumer service in the past year used wellestablished methods away from the internet. THese classic tactics from the scammers' textbook included unsolicited doorstep selling, mail and cold calling, and saw victims lose an average of £3,000. Fraudsters who use these methods are known to usually target older, more vulnerable people. THe recommendations by Citizens Advice to avoid becoming a victim of a conman or conwoman are to be suspicious about an unexpected contact from an individual or company, regard an offer which is too good to be true as fake, never send money to a stranger and never be rushed into making a decision. Residents are also asked to look for someone who is receiving extra mail or withdrawing large sums of cash. A total of 19,496 potential scam cases were reported to the Citizens Advice consumer service in 2018. THis was an eight per cent increase on the 18,075 reported the previous year. Citizens Advice commissioned Populus for an online sample of 2,016 British adults between May 24 and 27 this year about their experiences of being scammed.
f St Richard's students having fun taking part
A daily mile for the kids can help to improve their fitness BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk MORE than 50 schools across West Sussex are already enjoying the benefits of taking part in THe Daily Mile, and are now calling upon those schools who haven’t signed up to give the daily fitness challenge a try. THe Daily Mile sees children run, jog or walk - at their own pace - outside in the fresh air with their friends. Taking place in just 15 minutes, most children average a mile, or more, each day, with no set-up, tidy-up or equipment needed. As well as being social, non-competitive and fun, it can help to improve fitness, achieve a healthy weight and boost
emotional wellbeing. Polly Neville is the PE co-ordinator at Bosham Primary School. She said: "We started the Daily Mile in one class and had so much success, we rolled it out to every class in the school three years ago. "We find that it is an essential tool in keeping children engaged in their learning, giving them a wake-up break whenever needed! "Our children are definitely fitter and more resilient and teachers relish the opportunity to chat to children oneon-one in an informal way, not usually possible within the lesson. We feel that the Daily Mile supports every aspect of our children's health and wellbeing and is great fun as well!"
Penny Wojcik, PE leader at St Richard’s Catholic Primary School, Chichester, said THe Daily Mile was popular with pupils, with one year 3 child telling her: "THe mile run not only keeps you fit but gives our brain time to sort out the things we have done in the day and it gives us a break from our work! I enjoy the run because it is a time to run with friends!" But it isn’t just pupils who are benefiting. Penny said: "We also have three teachers who were inspired to do a mini triathlon and have chosen to keep up the running and are taking part in park runs and a 10k."

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK
Always a good time and never a dull moment June 21-27
BILL NIGHY stars in Sometimes, Always, Never as Alan, a widowed Liverpudlian who spends his days honing his Scrabble skills, and seeking his eldest son, Michael, who left home as a teenager, following an argument over using “Zo” on the board. It’s an obsession that leaves Alan’s younger son, Peter (Sam Riley) feeling second-place in the favourite child stakes. This charming and funny film, revelling in words and centred on a family reaching to let go of regrets and ultimately, reconnect, also stars Jenny Agutter and Tim McInnerny as a couple Alan fleeces at Scrabble. Amazing Grace, the nearly forgotten Aretha Franklin 1972 concert documentary, deserves more than a mere hallelujah at its reincarnation. Sydney Pollack's unfinished documentary, unearthed and reassembled after nearly 50 years, is a priceless gift to music fans. Revel in a titanic talent that is Aretha. Sam Claflin stars in The Corrupted, a strikinglooking film set in lively gangland in the shadow of the London Olympics, the great triumph of the 2012 Olympiad, however, built on the shakiest of foundations. Timothy Spall joins in the corruption as a property magnate. Thunder Road follows a Texas police officer (writer-director-star Jim Cummings) on the verge of a meltdown, partially over resentment toward the wife (Jocelyn DeBoer) who left him, and also because of the death of his mother, the film deftly balancing emotionally affecting drama against bruising comedy. A Private War, starring Rosamund Pike as daring journalist Marie Colvin, is the heartfelt biopic of legendary frontline reporter in Syria and is to be admired for her tough, forthright, pro-journalist attitude. Colvin believed in real facts and real
news, the closer she could get to it, but inevitably more hazardous. As Rory (Brian Cox), a curmudgeonly, Gaelicspeaking Hebridean native who travels to San Francisco to visit Ian, his estranged son (JJ Feild) and new grandson, Rory’s Way, goes down the culture-and-generation-clash once in molecular gastronomy chef Ian’s lavish apartment and his doctor wife (Thora Birch). Rory takes issue, too, at their over-attentive parenting style but starts to bond with his grandson. Mature audiences will appreciate the home truths in the subject matter. This week’s Performance event: Andrea Levy’s Orange Prize-winning novel 'Small Island' comes to life in an epic new theatre adaptation (June 27). Filmed live on stage as part of National Theatre Live’s 10th birthday. Book, too, for the extraordinary Napoleon on June 23. This ambitious silent film, renowned for its groundbreaking camerawork and editing, portrays the early life of French ruler Napoleon Bonaparte (Albert Dieudonne), beginning with his childhood and ending with a successful military campaign in Italy. Book a film+food Chicken Marengo lunch at nearby Woodies restaurant during the first interval or book simply for just the film. Out of the Shadows, a four-part course looking at the spy genre, continues on June 21 with films of the 1970s to 1990s explored. at 6.30pm. Tickets: £6.50. Pick up the summer season programme and the celebratory cinema ruby anniversary magazine at the box office while booking tickets. All seats are reservable on plush red seats.

Animation, Adventure, Family Screened at Picturedrome Cinema WOODY has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky, declares himself as “trash” and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. But when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her family’s road trip excursion, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend, Bo Peep. After years of being on her own, Bo’s adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As woody and Bo realise they’re worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find that’s the least of their worries. Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Annie Potts reunite with the original voice cast as your old friends return for an all-new adventure that sees them encounter a host of new toys including Tony Hale as googlyeyed spork Forky, Jordan Peele and KeeganMichael Key as carnival toys Bunny and Ducky, Christina Hendricks as antique pullstring doll Gabby Gabby, and Keanu Reeves as daredevil action figure Duke Caboom.

FROM the producers of IT comes a contemporary re-imagining of the 1977 horror classic with Mark Hamill providing the voice of Chucky. Aubrey Plaza stars as Karen, a single mother who gifts her lonely son Andy (Gabriel Bateman) with a brand-new Buddi doll for his birthday, unaware of its more sinister nature. Where the original film saw an ordinary toy possessed by the evil spirit of a twisted serial killer, the modern iteration of Chucky is a state-of-the-art, seemingly harmless Alexa-like A.I. that suffers a system failure that causes Andy’s new best friend become a bloodthirsty killing machine.

Drama, Comedy Screened at Chichester Cinema at New Park THE film follows a Texas police officer (Cummings) on the verge of a meltdown, partially over resentment toward the wife (Jocelyn DeBoer) who left him, and also because of the death of his mother. The first scene finds Jim struggling mightily (and hilariously) through the eulogy at her funeral, and it really establishes his unusual mixture of cheesy politeness and raw-nerve emotion. This is a 12-minute opening scene that you will not forget! Bookended with a monologue towards the end of the film that will leave you breathless, Cummings proves that he is a filmmaker and director to watch with this humanistic story that will make you laugh and cry until it hurts.

Plenty of emotion in Hare's epic play Theatre review By Kelly Wickham Plenty Until June 29 Chichester Festival Theatre, Oaklands Park, Chichester PO19 6AP 01243 781312 box.office@cft.org.uk IF THERE was one word to sum up Plenty, it would be emotion. It is portrayed on the stage incredibly through, grief, love, sadness, heartache, fear, uncertainty and anger. David Hare's play was first staged in the 1970s and is a different take on conventional war films, with the main character, Susan Traherne, played by Rachael Stirling, struggling to return to civilian life after returning as a secret agent in the special operations executive (SOE) in Nazi-occupied France. In post-war London, Susan marries a civil servant, Raymond Brock, whom she meets in Brussels, but he eventually tires of Susan's erratic behaviour, loose lips and state of mental health. Rachael's performance stole the whole show and the audience looked in on shock and horror as her
frustrations with her marriage reached a crescendo and the stage was alive with the pain the characters felt. Susan's friend, Alice, played by Yolanda Kettle, was an added bonus of humour and portrayal of living a bohemian lifestyle, later alarmed by Susan's subdued demeanour and change in character. THe stage use was phenomenal with clever curtains
and cinematography to further feel Susan's torment over what has happened in her life. It seems special that the play is performed in Chichester and at this time, not only because of the importance Tangmere played with the SOE but with the D-Day celebrations just passed and the uncertain times of Brexit.

Traditional afternoon tea
The two words 'afternoon tea' conjure up visions of sunny days, crisp white linen, elegant china and tiered stands loaded with sandwiches and sweet treats AFTERNOON tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in 1840. THe duchess would become hungry around 4pm as the evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o’clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner. THe duchess asked that a tray of tea, bread and butter and cake be brought to her room during the late afternoon. THis became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her. THis pause for tea became a fashionable social event. During the 1880s upperclass and society women would change into long gowns, gloves and hats for their afternoon tea which was usually served in the drawing room between four and five o’clock.
Today, traditional afternoon tea usually consists of a selection of dainty sandwiches, scones served with clotted cream and preserves. Cakes and pastries or trifle are also served and tea is drunk, although Prosecco or Champagne are Enjoy the often available to add fizz to summer the occasion.

Gorgeous country pub
TO DESCRIBE THe Star and Garter as a pub with food is to do it a serious injustice. THis traditional country inn, which is tucked away in the downland village of East Dean, north of Chichester, has undergone a renaissance since coming under the wing of Giles Babb, landlord of the popular Blue Bell at Emsworth. Sheep bleating on the surrounding hillside was the only sound to disturb the peace of this typically rural setting of flint-faced cottages, village pond and a working red telephone box. THe sheltered garden at the rear has been tidied up ready to welcome walkers in the summer as well as overspill diners from the single bar/ restaurant area with its rustic tables and pictures reflecting its nearness to Goodwood racecourse. THe Star and Garter had been dark for a number of months prior to Giles taking it over but re-opened on March 1 with an emphasis on offering quality food at lunch and dinner, although returning to its place as the village local by maintaining its bar and space for drinkers to chat. To show its credentials as a pub, Doom Bar beer is always available and a number of changing real ales - 20 different ones have been on offer in the first three months. Premium gin, the currentlyfashionable spirit of choice, has a menu all to itself, complete with tasting notes and descriptions of the origins of the various distillations, including Chichester Harbour's finest. Wine has been selected by Alastair Gibson, of Hermitage Cellars in Emsworth, and each main course on the dinner menu lists bottles of a suitable accompanying wine. THere is also plenty of choice in the usual range of red, white and rose to buy by the glass and sparkling wine from the Wiston Estate. THis emphasis on local sources is very much in evidence on the menu where everything is fresh and seasonal. Goodwood's Home Farm is only a few miles away and supplies lamb, milk and venison in season, crab is from Selsey and the excellent fish comes from Brighton. Home-made does not just apply to the finished dishes. Head chef Josh Reeves, who has moved from Sidlesham's Crab and Lobster, not only smokes his own cheese and chalk stream trout and makes chutneys and condiments but forages on his days off for select ingredients, such as sea kale. From the starters menu, my dining companion chose a home-smoked cheese, an unusual soft lemony labneh with crunchy vegetables, including beetroot and asparagus, providing a delightful
contrast of tastes and textures. THe special of the day was a mackerel and avocado salad with apple, which I tried and found light and refreshing. Both it and the labneh were decorated with edible flowers, which seemed an appropriate touch in the middle of the countryside. Having been recommended by the friendly and helpful staff, I was keen to try the Goodwood lamb and it certainly didn't disappoint. It was cooked to perfection with a hint of pink, tender and succulent, accompanied with soft yet crispy sweetbread, roasted baby beetroot, sea kale and a juniper-flavoured jus. THe delicate flavoursome pan-fried cod served on the other side of the table flaked at the touch of a knife and was served in a delicate consomme which complemented it admirably with the last drops scooped in a soup spoon. Trying to choose from the home-made desserts was almost impossible so the chef kindly provided a taste of each from the menu plus the special carrot and ginger cake with honeycomb and a whisky butterscotch sauce. What can you say about a plate of four desserts, all expertly made, served with artistry and tasting sublimely sweet with subtle extra flavours? Don't just go by the descriptions, if you have any kind of interest in puddings, you must try them. Four Sussex cheeses are a happy alternative for those who prefer a savoury finish to their meal. THe dinner offering is worthy of a much higher class of establishment than a country pub and Giles - and Josh - deserve to attract new clientele from a wide area, as well as those familiar with THe Star and Garter from its previous landlords and Goodwood visitors. Don't leave it too long before you try this latest culinary star to join the Chichester area's elite, you may not be able to get a booking.

Co-working space vs coffee shop vs home How to choose between them Rume2 Sussex House, Crane Street, Chichester PO19 1LJ Tel: 07467 438900 www.rume2.co.uk AS the number of entrepreneurs, freelancers, remote workers and micro businesses rises globally, so do the choices of where they work. Traditionally, home or coffee shops have been the domain of those without a set office, but with rapid growth of the coworking sector the choice has never been better for those who choose not to commute. You may be one of the growing army of workers with no office ties and you may be wondering what working environment is right for you. As we are super helpful at Rume2 we thought we would put together a brief guide of the pros and cons for each to help you make your own informed choice. Let’s organise things by the most important factors in a workplace • Comfort • Facilities • Refreshments • Community • Cost
Environment
Environment is absolutely key to getting work done. Warmth, comfort and limited distractions are essential. Let’s see how each workplace compares. Home: THis is no doubt the easiest place to control warmth and comfort. You can sit in your favourite chair, put music you like on (or sit in silence if you prefer) but how about the distraction factor? THe fridge is calling, you have a box set you haven’t finished on Netflix and the washing needs doing. It isn’t always easy to zone out at home and get into work mode. Coffee Shop: THe walk to a coffee shop can get you into a different mind set ready to work. However, you can’t always guarantee the environment in a coffee shop. Will you
Refreshments
THis factor should probably have come first as it includes coffee! All workers need refreshments throughout the day! Home: Without a doubt, home will give you the largest access to refreshments of your choosing, but is that always a good thing? How loudly does the fridge call to you when you are working from home? It takes no small amount of willpower to ignore its cries. Coffee Shop: Good coffee goes without saying at a coffee shop, else it’s not a very good coffee shop! Add to that the selection of other beverages and snacks/treats it’s probably a strong player for this factor. One point to note of course is that you will have to pay for anything you consume and often you will have to purchase more than one item to avoid the guilt of using the space for a longer amount of time. Coworking Space: A good coworking space will have good coffee, tea etc. Even better, it will be limitless and you can help yourself as much as you want. You may not be able to choose from as wide a range as you would in a coffee shop but if you aren’t a coffee person there is likely to be access to a range of tea, soft drinks and even alcohol should the temptation rise.
find a good seat? Will there be noisy children nearby and is the music playing to your taste? Finding a good local coffee shop where you enjoy the surroundings can work well if you are happy to sit anywhere. Coworking Space: Although you can’t choose the furniture, décor or music in a coworking space, often they have been designed with comfort and productivity in mind. THe music will be carefully selected to blend into the background, the furniture will have been built or purchased for long-term comfort andthe temperature will be carefully controlled. If you are picky about where you sit, you can also book your own desk.
Community
Facilities
Fast internet, printing, security. THese are all essentials for most business people. Home: When working from home you will need to purchase and manage your own facilities. THis can be rather expensive if you don’t work for a company that will provide those items for you. In addition, home internet connections can be patchy. Coffee Shop: THis is the option with the

least facilities on tap. No printer, the internet connection could be patchy and it is likely to be an unsecured network. THis puts your laptop at risk of data breach with many people reporting password theft and being hacked while working on an unsecured network. Coworking Space: A coworking space is a professional space and therefore is likely to have the best facilities. Any space worth its salt will have superfast wifi within your membership fee and many will have access to a printer, too. Most importantly, any internet connection will be completely secure andprivate with no ability to see anyone else’s connection.
You can start by booking a free

Community and sense of belonging is important to many people. THere are some who just love to work alone but the majority of humans desire interaction with other humans at some point. Not just for company but also to learn from, bounce ideas around with or make useful connections. Home: Working by yourself from home will give you the least sense of community. Unless you have others in your house who are also at home during the day, working from home can be pretty lonely. Even with modern technology giving access to video

conferencing, there is no substitute for face to face interaction. Coffee Shop: As there are many people who work from coffee shops you may find a sense of community if you visit the same one regularly and see the same faces. THe opportunity and reason to interact and make connections is limited, however, unless you can sit together or are brave enough to approach a stranger. Coworking Space: Each coworking space has its own vibe and therefore a tribe ofBy Debbie F workers who co-exist there.

Business News 29
Welcome to the first of a regular, monthly, business feature for the Post This month a bit of background and introduction to me and why I think collaboration is key for business here in the city and what I’m doing to play my part. By Debbie Ford The Chichester Social www.thechichestersocial.com So how did I come to be in Chichester and what qualifies me to write this column? Well, it’s a story as old as time itself: • Girl meets boy • Girl starts working for the county council • Girls falls out of love with the boy (and the council), but stays in Chichester • Girl then joins a locally based web design and development company • Finally, girl decides to go it alone and start her own business in Chichester • THat covers the last 20 years, or as I call it, “My Chichester Life”. As for qualifications to being here, in print? Well, I’ll let you be the judge of that! When I started my own business over three years ago — I’m officially no longer a “start-up”, apparently — I missed having a team around me. I was working at home on my own, finding myself down rabbit holes of “how to be a great freelance marketing consultant” and achieving, at times, very little output. THis wasn’t sustainable activity – bills wait for no (wo)man, as the old adage goes. I knew that networking and finding a business community was the answer, but nowhere seemed to fit the bill; there was definitely a gap for a new approach. So I did what I do best, I asked others who are far more experienced in this area than me. Chichester has approximately 15,000 people registered as self-employed - this is a19.8 per cent share of the overall "economically active" market. THe national average for self-employed status is 10.6 per cent - we are almost twice this. Go Chichester! With this data to hand, my friend Emily (an HR consultant) and I agreed that a new business networking community that had a primary goal of supporting freelancers and solo entrepreneurs here in the city was absolutely needed. My next question was, ‘How hard could it be to start a new business networking group?’ As it turns out, it’s very easy – the hard work followed later. But we needed it to have purpose. We had both spent many years living, working and socialising in Chichester and wanted to support independent businesses (and the local economy) so we decided that we’d work with selected venues to host our morning meetups on the last Friday of the month. THe good news was that they were more than willing to work with us and recognised the mutual benefit. THree years on, we’ve built up a network of over 300 members — it’s free to join — and we regularly get over 40 people attend each month. We’ve seen some great collaborations: a brand strategist and singing coach is just one example. A crude calculation on the back of a matchbox suggests we have happily contributed somewhere in the region of £10k into the pockets of independent businesses. Some of our host venues have included: Rume2, Purchases Restaurant & Bar, Pallant Restaurant & Cafe, Chichester Cinema at New Park, Hennings Wine Merchants, Draper’s Yard, Luckes, Arties Kitchen.

What connects me, my networking group and these businesses is a willingness to collaborate and participate for the greater good. In a month where we’ve seen another couple of businesses close, it isn’t productive or helpful to lament their loss — which may be due to much more than “greedy landlords/throttling rates” —while not stepping over the threshold of the remaining businesses and offering your support. THe question is, If you are running a business here in the city and its surrounding area, ask yourself honestly: “Are we doing enough to market ourselves, collaborate and grow?” THe future of the high street will not be dominated by big brands, it will be the independents that survive and thrive. Study after study confirms this trend. What independents bring to the table is the chance to connect with their customers in a way that makes everyone feel like they’re a part of something. We’re in it together. THere are, of course, factors that make coming in to the city untenable, one of which is the cost of parking. However, a rant on social media clearly isn’t reaching the ears of the decision-makers. If you want to help the district and county councils understand the impact their parking strategies are having on the city’s economy, then you need to take your informed comments to them directly. Whatever we do in business, collaboration and participation is key if you are genuinely up for making a change happen.
What topics would you like to see in future? I want to keep it positive and more thought-provoking as opposed to proactive. If you have any comments or questions about this article or about my business networking group, please email me at: hello@thechichestersocial.com
EVERYONE wants to do their bit to stop climate change but it can be difficult to know where to start. THat’s why, when the Sustainable Business Partnership CIC developed the Utilise Plus programme, we wanted to offer various services that help businesses to save energy no matter where they are on their sustainability journeys. Whether you’re keen to learn more at one of our free events, want to identify smart solutions for your organisation with a fully-funded energy audit, or want to take action with a grant-funded energy-saving installation, the Utilise Plus programme has something for everyone.
Funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Utilise Plus has already supported hundreds of small and medium sized enterprises throughout Sussex since launching in late 2017. So far, we’ve helped these organisations make an estimated, combined saving of over 700 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year. What’s more, their annual energy bills will decrease, on average, by 27%, saving them money year after year. Utilise Plus will run until the end of September 2019 so make the most of this funding while it lasts – use it or lose it! Whichever stage your organisation is at, get in touch with the Sustainable Business Partnership CIC and see how the Utilise Plus programme can help you. Saving energy is not only good for your organisation’s cash flow but also good for the environment – win-win! Just make sure you act fast while this free support is still available!
Funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), this programme offers grant funding, events, workshops and fully-funded energy audits to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) throughout England.

Our business grows by referral, so we aim to provide the kind of service that people remember. That’s why everyone leaves feeling that their job search is being taken seriously.
Kiwi Recruitment 2nd Floor, 27-28 Southgate, Chichester, PO19 1ES Tel: 01243 782763 Email: reception@kiwirecruitment.co.uk www.kiwirecruitment.co.uk THE political uncertainty in the UK over the last year has been an ongoing issue for the recruitment industry. We've had to keep a close eye on every development with the exiting from the European Union, making sure we aware of all changes to worker rights. THis has involved actively seeking out all the relevant information and we've joined the British Institute of Recruiters to make sure we are at the front line of any changes and updates. We've also refreshed our registration system for all new candidates as well as updating existing candidate information, to cover all paperwork bases. THis does involve extra work but means that we are going to be well prepared for when the political changes are finalised. We don't want anyone to suddenly lose their job, so going the extra mile now ensures we are future proofed. Despite this indecisive political landscape we’ve had a busy start to first half of the year and as the summer season kicks off, it doesn’t look to be slowing down. We are excited to get stuck into Summer, even though the
recent weather hasn’t been on our side, we’ve been recruiting around the clock for some of the season’s biggest events. We are lucky that within the surrounding Chichester and Bognor Regis areas there are lots of exciting and glamorous events to get involved with. We’ve worked at many of these events over the years and with each new year they get better and better. Fingers crossed the weather does pick up. If you are looking to earn some extra cash over the next few months or have a teenager sat at home that could do with getting out the house, then don’t hesitate to get in touch as we have plenty to keep them busy. THings are fairly steady in the permanent job sector, this is where the political uncertainty is felt the most as candidates are choosing to stay put until we know more. THough this doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of new opportunities, it means that candidates want to move for the right reasons and are looking longer term as well as finding something they are truly passionate about. Which we thoroughly encourage! THere is immense satisfaction to be found in placing someone in their dream role. We make the time to meet with our clients one to one to obtain a greater understanding of their business and we do the same with candidates. Taking the time to listen to the client and candidate needs and discuss in detail what they’re looking for means we can find the right fit for both parties. THere’s absolutely no point pushing someone into a job that a month down the line they aren’t going to enjoy. It isn’t always easy dealing with ‘product human’ but the unpredictability of the industry keeps us on our toes! You can find us: 2nd Floor, 27-28 Southgate, Off South Street, Chichester or give us a call today: 01243 782763.

CommunityNews&Views SMALL steps to ensure air quality is improved for everyone have been outlined by West Sussex County Council. THe council is asking residents to make positive changes to their lifestyles to enable people to breathe easier where they live and work. THese include walking and cycling for short journeys, gently braking and accelerating smoothly when driving, considering switching to electric vehicles and composting organic waste instead of burning it. THe council says it is committed to improving air quality as a long-standing member of the Sussex-air Partnership, which offers a free airAlert service. THis sends messages - either by text, voice mail or email - when air pollution levels in a specified area increase to a moderate rating or above. Cllr Deborah Urquhart, cabinet member for environment, said: "It is often difficult to appreciate the importance of air quality as it can't be seen. "THrough the choices we make about how we travel and how we heat our homes, we can all make a positive difference to improving the air quality in our county. "Walking and cycling on short journeys will cut pollution, and there is the added bonus of getting exercise which is good for your physical and mental health. "Improving air quality is a priority for the county council - but we can't do it without the help of our residents." THe council has highlighted its advice as part of national breathe easy week. THe initiative includes this year's clean air day, which was held yesterday (THursday). Earlier this month, the council launched its West Sussex Climate Pledge online campaign. It asks residents to make small but positive changes to their everyday lives and can be seen at: westsussex.gov.uk/maketheclimatepledge
CHICHESTER Ship Canal Trust has thanked out-going chairman Ian Milton, pictured above, for his significant contribution to the canal as he steps down. A key volunteer on the trust board for more than five years, first as membership secretary, then as a trustee and as chairman since 2016, Ian has stepped down from his roles because, "It’s time to properly retire." With Ian’s support and direction, the trust has made good and interesting progress on key issues such as the refurbishment of the heritage centre, strengthening governance arrangements, on education and marketing. Ian said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my five years at the canal. Challenges have been overcome, new experiences had, and many laughs shared. "I’d like to thank many members and volunteers for their support and friendship." Catherine Cannon and Mark Stoneham have taken on the shared role of vice chairman of the trust. Mark said: "Ian has made a significant contribution to the canal and his commitment and good humour will be missed by fellow trustees and canal colleagues." THe trust board is in a strong and positive position. THere are eight committed trustees with some sound and varied experience. Enquiries for the vacant role of chairman would be welcomed by the trustees. For details of the role, visit the Voluntary Action Arun and Chichester website: vaac.org.uk and use keyword ‘Canal’. THe canal relies on over 140 volunteers to keep the canal such a special place, valued by so many residents and visitors in the city.
A CHICHESTER solicitor acted swiftly to prevent a vulnerable elderly couple losing their life savings before realising she wanted to help others potentially susceptible to betrayal by people they trusted. Now, after exposing the duplicity and rectifying the wrong doing, mum-of-five Emily Allchurch has set up a new service – called Enable – to provide guidance and assistance to those in need. Her new business came about after the couple were conned out of thousands of pounds and even changed their wills to exclude family members. Emily, a solicitor at Chichester law firm THe Owen Kenny Partnership believes she can make a difference by enabling people to live with less worry. She said: “In recent years the pace of life has increased significantly and a lot of my older clients feel bombarded

Instead of receiving a simple bank statement there are notices, regulations, terms and conditions, opt ins, opt outs, phone calls that may or may not be from British Gas, BT, the bank.

"Unwittingly, this makes them vulnerable to third parties gaining access to their personal information and finances as often they turn to friends/carers/cleaners for assistance. Sadly, this can lead to manipulation and financial abuse.” THe aim of Enable is to provide a safe and efficient service to clients offering personal assistants who can handle bills and manage accounts, arrange appointments and find carers and domestic assistance.

CHICHESTER MP Gillian Keegan and local councillors joined the founders of Chichester Free School, staff old and new, pupils and original volunteers to celebrate the school’s successful first year in its new home at the former Carmelite convent in Hunston Road. THe area’s only all-through school for pupils aged four to 19 was praised by Ofsted inspectors earlier this year for its high standards of teaching, gaining a resounding ‘Good’ across all areas. Last week’s event was an opportunity for principal-designate, Louise New, who takes over in September, to celebrate its success with everyone involved with the school from when it first opened in 2013 on a temporary site at Vinnetrow Road. Founding principal, Guy Martyn, and his wife, Lara, the school’s former drama and English teacher, were among the guests, along with founders Helen Humphry and Nadine Hubble; Stephen King, founding chairman of governors; Jenny Clough, interim principal and Howard Oyns, chairman of governors. Boys and girls from the school’s Combined Cadet Force braved torrential rain to attend to the guests’ arrival. Everyone was given a tour of the school as well as being entertained by a concert from singing teacher, Charley Bolton, and her talented pupils. A huge birthday cake, made by admin assistant, Sue Moon, was a huge success with everybody, too. Chichester Free School was created in 2013. THe school is nonprofit-making, independent, state-funded, free to attend and is not wholly controlled by the local authority. Since its sixth form opened in 2018, it is Chichester’s only allthrough school, with capacity for more than 1,200 boys and girls from aged from four to 19. Jenny Clough said: “I would like to thank all the parents and volunteers who made our dream of delivering a first-class education to pupils of all ages and abilities a reality. "THis event has been a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the many dedicated people involved in our journey over the years to create a successful school where many hundreds of children enjoy learning and achieve their potential.” For more information about Chichester Free School, visit: chichesterfreeschool.org.uk

OMEGA-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of sudden death for those who have had a heart attack
A passionate and motivated 'health expert/nutritionist.
Natural ways to lower cholesterol www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@ thewellbeingcompanyltd.com I HAD a client this week who came to me and said she had a well woman clinic check-up. She is in her early 60s and has been on my diet plan for about two months. She is a dream client that follows all the advice that I have given her, and it's paid off! I just wanted to share it with you because I feel so passionate about getting people to know this information because it’s so easy and could just save your life! She was told she had the lowest cholesterol of anyone they had seen in her age category. My point is, your diet can have a
dramatic impact on your wellbeing, maybe far more than you could ever realise. You do not need to reach for harsh medication with potential side effects, you just need to create a healthy lifestyle for yourself that can potentially change the way you feel and help you to look after yourself better. Can something as simple as a bowl of oatmeal help lower your cholesterol? How about a handful of almonds? A few simple tweaks to your diet — along with exercise and other heart-healthy habits could just help to change everything. Oatmeal, oat bran and high-fibre foods Oatmeal contains soluble fibre, which reduces your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the 'bad' cholesterol. Soluble fiber is also found in such foods as kidney beans, Brussels sprouts, apples

and pears. Soluble fibre can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream. Five to 10 grams or more of soluble fibre a day decreases your LDL cholesterol. One serving of a breakfast cereal with oatmeal or oat bran provides three to four grams of fibre. If you add fruit, such as a banana or berries, you'll get even more of the good stuff. Fish and omega-3 fatty acids Fatty fish has high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce your triglycerides, a type of fat found in blood, as well as reduce your blood pressure and risk of developing blood clots. In people who have already had heart attacks, omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of sudden death. Omega-3 fatty acids don't affect LDL cholesterol levels. But because of those acids' other heart benefits, it's recommended that eating at least two servings of fish a week cold make a significant difference. Baking or grilling the fish avoids adding unhealthy fats. THe highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids are in: • Mackerel • Herring • Tuna • Salmon • Trout Foods such as walnuts, flaxseed and canola oil

Almonds and other nuts Almonds and other nuts can improve blood cholesterol. All nuts are high in calories, so a handful added to a salad or eaten as a snack will do. Avocados Avocados are a potent source of nutrients as well as mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). Research suggests that adding an avocado a day to a heart-healthy diet can help improve LDL cholesterol levels in people who are overweight or obese. Replacing saturated fats, such as those found in meats, with MUFAs are part of what makes the Mediterranean diet heart healthy.

The Chichester Canal opening ceremonies By Sue Dixon, trustee at the Chichester Ship Canal Trust
f Members of the Coombe family of Bosham with a gravel barge in the canal basin in the 1890s. CHICHESTER canal is a leisure waterway that links historic Chichester to the sea, and is an important wildlife habitat that is a site of importance for nature conservation. It is also popular for walking, fishing, canoeing, paddle boarding and cycling. THe canal forms part of the former Portsmouth and Arundel canal, and was intended to be a key link in a through route to London. Different sections of the canal were opened separately, and had ceremonies to mark these occasions. THis article will explore the successes and mishaps that befell these occasions. After almost three and a half years since the first spade of earth had been turned, and after constant financial problems, disputes with the contractors, unscheduled additions to the original plans and questionable management, a grand ceremony was announced to celebrate the official opening of the Chichester Ship Canal on Tuesday, April 9, 1822. Local newspapers printed invitations to all subscribers to the canal company, members of the general public and merchants who traded with London to enjoy the journey from Eastney Creek, at the harbour end of the unfinished Portsea Canal, across Langstone Harbour, around Hayling and THorney Islands, into the Chichester Ship Canal at Birdham and thence to the Southgate Basin in Chichester where a celebratory dinner was planned for 5pm. THe journey was planned to demonstrate the ease and efficiency of using the Canal to trade with London. However, all did not go according to plan. Mr John Williams, one of the promoters of the navigation, had organised that the steam
tug, Egremont, would leave Eastney Creek at 10am, towing a 150 yard-long cavalcade of suitably decorated barges furnished with chairs, cushions and parasols, on a favourable tide. THe intervention of a Mr Burnett, whose credentials remain a mystery but who claimed to have knowledge of the route through the harbours, led Mr Williams to give the responsibility for steering the vessel to Mr Burnett. THe latter's concern over the lack of depth of water led to the start being delayed, plus another stoppage in Langstone Harbour, so it was not until 5pm, the planned time of the celebratory dinner at THe Dolphin Inn in Chichester, that Egremont was approaching the entrance to Chichester Harbour. Unfortunately, in what was known to be a deep, wide channel, Egremont became stranded on a sandbank and all further progress for the procession ceased until the next tide. A smaller flotilla which had been waiting in the canal to accompany the Egremont cavalcade to Chichester Basin decided they could wait no longer and set sail. Led by Mr William Johnson's yacht, Sylph, a mixture of commercial barges, including the Mayflower carrying timber, the Prosperous carrying groceries and the Chichester carrying coal, and pleasure craft repaid the patience of the crowd who greeted them with music from several bands, cannon fire and enthusiastic cheering. THe embarrassed company officials had to cope with the 'many erroneous reports' that circulated and blamed strong winds, an ebbing tide and literal 'hangers-on' in the form of sailing and rowing boats for

f A group of boys fishing in the canal around 1900 the problems encountered, but could not disguise the potential hazards of crossing the harbours. On THursday, September 19, 1822, to celebrate the delayed opening of the Portsea Ship Canal to Halfway Houses, the steam tug Egremont towed a procession of decorated barges carrying passengers, including a band, the full length of the canal, watched by 'many thousand spectators'. Following the successful opening ceremony
at 2pm, a dinner was held at the George Inn in Portsmouth at 6pm, at which the committee and some subscribers to the company were present, along with 'any gentleman who may feel disposed to be of the party' - at a cost of 17s, including wine. THe Hampshire Chronicle subsequently reported the opening and concluded, 'with pleasure, we add, no accident occurred'. Next week’s article will look at a third opening ceremony of the canal in May, 1823.

Sportinbrief î ? Ten Pin Bowling BOGNOR bowler Harley Guy-Sinclair skittled his opponents over to lift a league title against some of the best competitors in Sussex- at the tender age of ten. THe youngster teamed up with his step father, Jeff Campbell, as the aptly named doubles team Big and Small. After a 33-week battle for top spot in the ten pin bowling Tuesday night adult league at Worthing, the duo saw off their rival players to take first place in the standings. Harley, who is the youngest in the adult league at the tender age of just 10 years old, stormed in to the final where he bowled a high score of 190, impressing his peers and onlookers at the bowling alley. Jeff, who has coached Harley since he was four years old, jumped at the chance of pairing up with his step son when the adult league started up at Worthing last year. Wife and mother Natasha GuyCampbell said: "I'm so thrilled for my boys to achieve this victory together, I am so proud of them both. "We were all in shock when we found out they had actually won first place."

Glorious countdown is underway SEVEN down, 12 to go - the Goodwood horse racing programme is well and truly up and running with preparations well underway for the track to host its world-famous glorious event. In just over a month's time, the great and the good from the world of horse racing will head to the South Downs for the annual Qatar festival. Over five days, tens of thousands of people will watch the best equine athletes in the world go nose to nose in one of the highlights of the flat racing season. It all kicks off on Tuesday, July 30, with the highlight of the first day a new Group One race, the Qatar Goodwood Cup, worth ÂŁ500,000. THe ÂŁ1million Qatar Sussex Stakes is the feature event of Wednesday before the Magnolia Cup takes centre stage for Ladies Day. Friday features four group races including the ÂŁ300,000 King George sprint before it is all wrapped up on the Saturday, culminating in the Stewards Cup. One horse who is set to return is Battash, who will be looking to make it three King
George victories in a row. THe Charlie Hills horse came up just short at Royal Ascot this week, losing out by a length and a half to old rival Blue Point in the King's Stand Stakes. But back on the hallowed Sussex turf, the Jim Crowley mount is expected to head into the Group Two King George as a firm favourite to repeat his 56 second blitz in the five furlong sprint. Speaking after the Ascot race, Hills said: "We just got a little bit detached from the race and he had to make his move a little early, but he ran a really good race. "THe race worked out how we envisaged it. We will go to Goodwood now for the King George." Before then, racegoers will get a taste of the final THree Friday Night event of the year tonight (Friday), which sees an afternoon of horse racing, followed by an evening of worldclass DJs and an epic Parade Ring dance floor lit with lasers. THe final event will feature south London house-techno outfit Disciples. For tickets, visit www.goodwood.com/ horseracing
f Jockeys ready to race at Goodwood
Bognor and Chi are ready for derby day BOGNOR CC will have to overcome a familiar foe if they want to keep their promotion push on track as they head to Chichester Priory Park tomorrow (12.30pm). THe Division Two rivals are experiencing very different seasons with one fighting it out at the top while the other are hovering just above the dropzone. Bognor, who are currently fourth, will head to Goodwood in good spirits after winning three of their last four matches. A win is badly needed though to keep pace with the top two after rain put paid to their hopes when they were in a strong position against leaders Billingshurst. After winning the toss and choosing to field at the Regis Oval, the home side put the visitors into bat. THey made a solid start as openers Jordan Willoughby (82) and Louis Storey (7) put on 47 for the first wicket. But Josh Sargeant (2-33) and Zimbabwean spinner Roy Kaia bowled well in tandem, with the overseas star eventually finishing with figures of six for 79. After a late rally and with rain clouds hovering, Billingshurst declared on a score
of 184 for eight, which would have been a reachable target if not for the weather. In reply, Bognor skipper Ryan Maskell lasted just two balls before departing for a duck. Mikey Harris (25*) and Kaia (12*) made some inroads into the score, reaching 56 for two before the match was abandoned due to the weather. Up the road at Goodwood and Priory's poor start to the season continued last weekend as the club suffered an eight wicket loss to second-place St James's Montefiore. In what turned out to be a 20 over match, Chi struggled to get going, with only Simon Hasted (48* from 39 balls)showing some resistance against a strong visiting attack. Priory eventually reached a score of 110 for seven off their allotted overs, a score which looked unlikely to prove enough. Chi struggled to make inroads early on as St James's openers Harry Rollings (27) and Hector Loughton (55) put on 64 for the opening wicket before wrapping up the win with eight wickets and three overs to spare. If there was a bright spot, it was that Abhi Raut (0-14) and Joe De La Fuente (1-15) proved economical in their four overs.
f Bognor appeal in their abandoned match against Billingshurst
f Pagham host Findon tomorrow
Roffey next up for Middleton MIDDLETON CC will be searching for their first win in five as they head to title challenging Roffey tomorrow (11.30am) in the Sussex Premier Division. Sean Heather's side have struggled after an excellent start to the campaign, with a run of three losses seeing them sitting fifth in the ten team standings. Middleton's blushes were spared last weekend when the rain came to their aid against Cuckfield with the visitors in firm control of the match. THey will need to be much better tomorrow when they head to the outskirts of Horsham to face a Roffey side who are unbeaten in their last five. Middleton's first focus will be on improving on a poor bowling display against Cuckfield which saw the visitors reach 278 for six after batting first at the Sports Ground. THe star performer was opener Harry Nielson (128) who hit an imperious century before being dismissed by Heather. It was one of three wickets for the Middleton skipper (3-50)
who was the stand-out performer for the home side. In reply, they never really got going, falling to 66-4 before the weather came to their rescue. Heather (26) was the top scorer in what was a day to forget for Middleton. In Division THree West, Pagham will be looking to get their season back on track after a run of three defeats in four left them hanging on just in the hunt for promotion. Stuart Hanks' side, who are sitting fourth in the competitive division, seven points off top spot, welcome Findon to Nyetimber Lane tomorrow (12.30pm). THey will be looking to make a vast improvement on last weekend when they were well and truly second best to thirdbottom Ansty. After batting first, Pagham were bowled out for just 57 in only 19 overs as Jake Wilson (7-17) terrorised the home line-up. Only Nick Smith (28) reached double figures for Pagham. In reply, Ansty knocked off the total with the loss of just one wicket.

Pagham hunt for a new boss
Pearce delight as Tuck signs BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce has said he is delighted to have secured the services of midfield talisman Doug Tuck for another season. THe playmaker is much coveted in non-league circles for his ability to keep the ball and launch attacks from deep. Despite an injury-plagued season last year, Tuck has agreed to commit for another season at Nyewood Lane. His main task will be to help the Rocks perform better than the 14th place finish in the Bostik Premier division next season and he could be joined in the middle of the park by former Bognor schemer Stuart Green. Pearce confirmed that he is hoping to strike a deal with AFC Totton for the goalscoring midfielder. He said: "I think it says a lot about Doug as a person and his feelings for the club that he has agreed to stay with us and we're really very pleased this is the case. We know all about Stuart
from his time with us before and we should be able to confirm this news sooner rather than later." Long-serving midfielder Tuck, who notched up his 300th appearance last season, came on as sub to notch the winner as Bognor lifted the Sussex Senior Cup in May. Now he has committed to pen a new deal giving boss Jack Pearce and first team coach Robbie Blake more good news on the signings front. James Crane has already switched back to the Rocks from Worthing and Ashton Leigh has made the permanent switch from Baffins Milton Rovers. Meanwhile, positive dialogue continues between Pearce and striker Jimmy Muitt, utility man and skipper Harvey Whyte and midfielder Freddie Read. Other players set to sign are ex-Pagham midfielder Lloyd Rowlatt, right-back Josh McCormack, midfielder Emmett Dunn, and central defenders Keaton Wood and Chad Field.
PAGHAM hope to announce a new manager in a matter of weeks after the shock departure of manager Tom Simmonds. After starting last season with two managers, the Nyetimber Lane side have been left without one. First, Ritchie Hellen departed with weeks of the SCFL Premier season to run. Now the well thought of Simmonds has announced he, too, will leave, citing personal reasons. Pagham officials said the search for a replacement was underway, with applications for the post closing earlier this week. It is expected a new manager will be confirmed within the fortnight as the club look to bounce back from a disappointing end to the last campaign. After starting the season with promotion hopes, the club ended the campaign in 11th. In a statement, the club said: "THe chairman and his
committee would like to put on record how truly grateful they are for Tom’s commitment over the past five years. We would like to recognise what a magnificent job he has done during his time at the club. "From winning Under-18 league titles two seasons on the trot and being cup winners in the same seasons, to winning the double at Under-21 level, then taking on the first team joint manager role with Ritchie Hellen, guiding the team to finish third in the Premier League, RUR Cup finalists and Sussex Senior Cup semi-finalists in the same season. "His dedication over the last five years speaks volumes about the man and we will miss him at Nyetimber Lane. "We wish Tom all the best for the future." Lee Baldwin, Luke Cooper and Jack Millard make up the rest of the coaching team.
f Tom Simmonds, right, has left Pagham
Stephens leaves City Ladies NEW Chichester City Ladies manager Sadie Blakeley has suffered a blow with the news of the departure of another key player from last season's history-making squad. THe former goalkeeper took up the reins at Oaklands Park last month after the club finished third in the third tier of women’s football. Within weeks, both club captain Lauren Cheshire and striker Cherelle Khassal announced their departures. THis has been followed by influential midfielder Tash Stephens, who announced she will also be leaving the club. Stephens said: "I’m grateful to have been able to play alongside some amazing people, learn so much and create so many memories. "However, it's time for me to move on and find a new challenge for next season." Blakeley started the rebuilding process this week as the club hosted open trials at Chichester College. With the emphasis on youth and bringing players through the ranks, the former goalkeeper is expected to turn to youth ahead of the National Southern Premier campaign kicking off in a few weeks' time.
-Sidlesham FC has confirmed its preseason schedule ahead of the new campaign. THe SCFL Division One side will start their preparations with a match at home against local rivals Bosham on July 6 (3pm). THat will be followed by ties against East
Preston (July 9, 7.45pm), Epsom & Ewell (July 13, 3pm) and Fareham Town (July 16, 7.45pm). Matches against Nyetimber Pirates (July 20, 3pm) and Littlehampton Town (July 27, 3pm) are also planned. All games will be played at the Memorial Ground.

Smashing time as coach visits vibrant squash club YOUNG Bognor squash players got a chance to boost their skills when a world renowned coach paid a visit to their club. Inspirational Sussex head coach Graham Stevenson was invited to take a session at Bognor Squash Club, in Hawthorn Road, by club coach ZoĂŤ Shardlow as part of the Sussex development scheme. For Stevenson, it was a return trip to the club and he found plenty had changed. His advice then had been to recruit a pro-active coach and he was pleased to see they had done exactly that - with Shardlow boosting junior participation numbers from two to over 20, as well as running successful team training sessions and launching new club squash titles for junior squash and women's racketball. Stevenson said: "Zoe's enthusiasm and know-how have transformed things and I was delighted to work with her and a lovely group of youngsters, keen to improve their skills. THe only anxiety was whether we might have too many players on the day, or consume too much homemade cake!
"As senior Sussex coach, I am reassured to see a club where there is so much junior activity, and a programme to meet the needs of all young players, from complete beginner, to national squad standard, so ‘Well done ZoÍ’, and long may it last." Looking forward, Stevenson was optimistic, and encouraged Shardlow to continue seeking involvement with local schools. He said: "If the planned liaisons with local schools come to fruition, then the future looks bright at Bognor, and Sussex can only benefit from this talent pathway." All the young players had a great time and a cake sale raised over ÂŁ20 for junior funds. ZoĂŤ currently runs junior sessions on Mondays, THursdays and Sundays and day camps during all holidays (Year 4 and above). SquashGirlsCan squash and racketball is on THursday evenings and one-to-one sessions can be arranged at a time to suit you. Bognor also has senior citizen beginners at squash and at racketball. Contact ZoĂŤ on 07841194463.
Sportinbrief î ? Running SCORES of runners took to the countryside for the first ever Centurion County Five. Organised by Chichester Runners, the five mile offroad out and back course saw competitors start and end at Lavant Village Green after taking in a stretch of the Centurion Way. Suitable for all abilities from age 15, the event on Wednesday proved a popular replacement for the Midsummer 5. As well as cash prizes for the winners, everyone taking part tucked into a burger and a drink at the finish line. A number of Chichester Runners warmed up for the event by taking part in the Hayling Billy 5 last week.
A total of 295 runners lined up in wet conditions for the annual race along the old railway track. Ben Ritchie (20th – 32.52) led the club home followed by Helen Dean (48th & 1st V60 – 36.28), David Knowles (50th – 36.36), Vikki Balandis (62nd – 37.56), and Kevin Williams (72nd – 38.37). Warwick Trumper (74th – 38.42) was the first junior home with other finishers including Ellen Perry (78th – 39.11), Lynette Woodward (105th – 42.49), Jeremy Harrison (121st – 44.18), Simon THompson (154th – 47.55), Lis Peskett (155th – 48.00), Johanna Harrison (172nd – 49.15) and Leon Perry (263rd – 58.56).
