Remembering our war heroes

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk

A HUGE crowd gathered at Tangmere Airfield on Friday to remember seven men who tragically lost their lives in 1943 when their Halifax bomber crashed into a hangar.

A special event was held to unveil a memorial which was erected at the site of the crash, thanks to the hard work of Aly Etherington, a great niece of one of

the crew.

THe afternoon was attended by many special guests including the mayor of Chichester, chairman of West Sussex County Council, chairman of Chichester District Council and the Lord Lieutenant of West Sussex, Susan Pyper.

Speaking to the Chichester Post, Mrs Pyper said: "I think today was hugely appropriate and very fitting for these seven brave, young airmen who gave

their lives for our country.

"What a turnout. THe weather is awful but the people of Tangmere and Chichester turned out in force.

"It was absolutely right and proper that we should honour their names and I think we did it in style for them. It was a very special occasion and very moving."

On November 19, 1943, the plane was returning from a raid over Germany and the crew attempted to make an emergency landing at RAF Tangmere

but crashed into the last remaining hangar. All seven crew members were killed.

Mrs Etherington has been working hard for over two years to get permission for the memorial at the site and had organised a flypast with a Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight which was unfortunately cancelled on the day due to the bad weather.

Philippa sets new book in the district

CAR PARKS OPERATING THE SCHEME: Fitzleet 343 Spaces and 24 Disabled Spaces

BESTSELLING historical author Philippa Gregory has turned the clock back in Selsey for her latest novel.

Philippa has imagined the coastal area around Midsummer's Eve 1648 in Tidelands.

THe University of Sussex graduate said: "I’ve always loved the south coast. As well as my time at the university, I also worked at the Portsmouth News and BBC Solent. I lived in Midhurst for many years."

Her latest novel sees England in the grip of a civil war between a renegade king and rebellious Parliament.

THe struggle has reached every corner of the kingdom, even to the Tidelands - the remote marshy landscape of the south coast - where her new book takes its title.

Set in Selsey and Pagham, as a map for the frontispiece shows, the story makes use of place names such as Selsey Common Field and Siddlesham Manor.

Its central character, Alinor, arouses suspicions of being a witch at a dangerous time for a woman to be different.

She said: "THis book returns me to historical fiction, based in a real period and place but with imaginary people.

"It was very liberating to get away from the royal family and royal palaces and into the daily life of aspiring people, hoping to

Residents in the city thanked for their quick thinking during fire FIREFIGHTERS in Chichester have expressed their thanks to residents for their quick thinking after a fire in a property last week.

Crews from Chichester, Bognor Regis and Selsey were sent to the blaze in Lennox Road, Chichester, at 3.37pm last THursday, following reports of a fire in a residential flat, with the first crew from Chichester arriving at the scene within five minutes.

THey found smoke issuing from a window of the property.

THey rescued a man who had become trapped and handed him over to paramedics, before bringing the fire in the flat under control.

Marc Lancaster, Chichester D Watch crew manager, said: "I would like to thank the residents living alongside the property involved in this incident.

"If it were not for their quick thinking, the outcome could have been a lot worse.

"It was a particularly challenging

incident, but they remained calm and assisted our crews in any way that they could.

"In particular, I would like to extend my thanks to the person who raised the alarm after hearing the property’s smoke alarm going off.

"I cannot stress enough the importance of having a working smoke alarm fitted to your property. In this instance, it alerted neighbours that something was wrong. I would urge all residents to make sure they check their smoke alarm is working at least once a week.

"If you are in any doubt, or know someone who would benefit from a safe and well visit from West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service, please do get in touch."

A Hollywood celebrity opens women's centre Council responds over library cuts f Julie Walters officially opens the new centre with Julie Budge

By Lotte Pegler lotte.pegler@sussexpost.co.uk A SPECIAL guest joined volunteers and staff at a Chichester and Arun charity as they celebrated their recent expansion.

Actress and writer Julie Walters attended the women’s centre, My Sister’s House in Bognor Regis, to mark five years since opening and the opening of their new building.

THe afternoon also included the unveiling of a new plaque at the centre in London Road.

Julie Walters said: "I’m a woman. I’m a human being.

"People being oppressed and abused, particularly women who are even more vulnerable because of having children as well, it’s a terrible thought to me.

"I can’t imagine anything worse than

being trapped in an abusive situation, with children.

"I think it’s really impressive and vital hearing the survivors' stories and how vital and wonderful the work is that they’re doing.

"THe hardest thing is walking through the door and once you're there, there will be a warm strong supportive nonjudgmental team.

"It will change your life. It will make you love yourself again."

Julie praised the work of the volunteers and staff at My Sister’s House who have supported more than 880 women since the first drop-in in May, 2015.

Julie Budge, founder of the organisation, originally came up with the idea sat around her kitchen table.

THe idea was to address the fact that

there were no women’s refuges in West Sussex and to this day, My Sister’s House continues to be the only one.

She added: "Just think about the fact that we have supported that many women. THink about the life-changing impact we had on those women.

"We’re not just talking about a little bit of advice or a little bit of information.

We’re talking about life changing stuff.

"We have achieved that from an amazing team. THe staff, past and present that have been involved have all impacted in their own way.

"THe women that are coming through the door bring us joy all the time. It takes so much courage to come through the door yet when we start working with them they bring positivity it’s amazing how much resilience women have so that’s a good thing."

A COUNTY councillor has told the public she does not want to close public libraries.

During her first month as the new cabinet member for fire and rescue and communities, Cllr Jacquie Russell said she had heard from many residents concerned about the future of their local library.

In a statement, she said: "I do not want to close libraries and there are no discussions taking place to close specific libraries.

"I know how important they are to the people who use them and I want to reassure residents across West Sussex that I want to protect services, not shut them down."

She said residents would be aware that all councils across the country had to save a significant amount of money and in West Sussex, the council was looking at doing things in a more affordable way.

THe news comes after the future of a number of West Sussex libraries were cast in doubt, amid county council plans to cut up to £500,000 from the service’s budget.

A report due to be discussed by the cabinet said ‘several’ tier 6 libraries could be closed to help save money.

THere are 13 tier 6 libraries in the county, including Arundel, Petworth, Southbourne and the Witterings.

Cllr Russell continued: "We are taking

Soldiers at the Palace Sat 31st Aug - Sun 1st Sept 10am - 4pm

The Ermine Street Guard return to Fishbourne with spectacular displays of marching, siege weaponry and military skills

a look at areas of the library service where we think we can make savings while preserving the core of the service.

"THey include – reluctantly – looking at stopping our mobile library service and reducing our late evening library opening times. THese ideas are only proposals at this stage and they’ll be looked at more closely, debated and consulted on as we go forward."

THe council are also looking at ways of doing more with the money they have and plan to create more community hubs where a range of council services are run under one roof.

Instead of having two or three buildings in a community that host different services, the council will look at ways of bringing them together into one building if it’s appropriate to do so.

She added: "It makes financial sense to reduce our building and maintenance costs while protecting the services we know are so important to all of us. If a community hub is viable, we will plan it together with local residents."

"I hope this clarifies my position and reassures you that we seek the best possible outcomes in difficult financial circumstances, keeping our core library service intact."

District councillor resigns from cabinet due to ill health THE former leader of Chichester District Council, Cllr Tony Dignum, has resigned as a cabinet member.

Due to poor health, Cllr Dignum said he would serve the district from the back bench with immediate effect.

Pharmacy staff come up with a hair raising idea for charity

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk TWO brave women from a Chichester pharmacy have taken the chop to help raise funds for charity, Combat Stress.

Pharmacy manager Laura Filer and dispenser Heidi Rothwell-Walker, from Stephen's Pharmacy in Sherbourne Road, shaved their heads for the good cause.

Heidi said the pharmacy were raising money for the charity and running a health promotion for them. Laura said that if Heidi managed to reach a target of £800 she would also shave her head.

She said: "We are blown away by the support. A lot of it is from customers, friends and family. THe generosity of people is staggering.

"THe hairdresser, Simon, from the salon, Frog, round the corner, kindly moved his clients round to come and do Laura's hair as we weren't expecting both of us on the day.

"Laura said we needed to do something big and I jokingly said I would shave my head and everyone ran with it really!

"It's just hair! It will grow back. THe first day it felt really strange. My skin felt really tight but I moisturised it and when I slept it was like Velcro on my pillow.

"It was amazing support having about 20 people show up, especially a couple of veterans who came who had served in the Second World War." Laura added: "THe support has been really amazing. People have been coming

in and sharing their military stories which has been emotional.

"It was a lovely day. We set up outside and had a table, we couldn't believe how many people turned up."

Combat Stress supports former servicemen and women deal with issues like post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression.

THey provide specialist treatment and support for veterans from every service and conflict to f Before | Pic : Joe Curl give them hope and a future.

THe charity offers a range of treatment services in the community, at their specialist centres, on the phone and online, and develop a personalised programme for each veteran's individual needs.

A top visit at the seaside

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk

VISITORS and residents flocked to the seaside in Bognor Regis on Wednesday to catch a glimpse of a famous trio.

THe Top Gear crew were filming along the prom near the bandstand with three convertible cars.

Fans of the show will know this is most likely to be linked to one of their car challenges, where presenters are given a budget to buy a vehicle from a certain time period and compete against each other in a series of tasks.

Freddie Flintoff, Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris were all spotted filming for the hit BCC2 TV show from 7.30am on Wednesday morning.

Paddy was driving a red Ford Escort Cabriolet, Chris was in a silver Mercerdes SLK and Freddie had a white Chrysler LeBaron.

Former Bognor Regis councillor, Pat Dillon, was asked to present the three with their next task. He said: "It came put of the blue. I was asked the other day to do something in confidentially.

I wasn't allowed to tell anybody. I was asked to turn up on a mobility scooter to give them their next task.

"It was very good. THe team were all nice people but sadly I wasn't introduced to the three presenters."

In May last year, presenter Matt LeBlanc announced he would be leaving the show after the 26th series.

Six months later, it was announced that Andrew (Freddie) Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness would join Chris Harris.

THe new line-up has received a positive reception compared to mixed reviews of the previous few series.

Although it is not known when the episode will air, hundreds of people turned out to witness the famous trio, taking selfies and videos as the trio drove down the promenade.

f The team at Q put together supplies for the foodbank

Hair salon works together to help out the city's food bank WHEN the team at Q Hair and Beauty heard that the local food bank was running out of supplies, they rallied round to put together a large batch of foodstuffs to help out.

Food banks often come under pressure at school holiday times, when many children are not receiving free school meals, and staff at Q salon in Chichester were concerned to hear that some less fortunate families might have to go without because stock was so low.

THey raided their larders and also added a few extra items to their shopping baskets to help replenish the invaluable foodstuff that was needed and a welcome box of supplies was taken along to the food bank.

"It was by pure chance we discovered that the food bank in Chichester was extremely low on food

supplies, even more so than usual because of the school holidays," said general manager Kain Lawrence.

"We put the message out to the team, suggesting we could gather some essential items together as a donation from Q to help those less fortunate than ourselves.

` Work commute LAST year there were 680 collisions on West Sussex’s roads involving people driving for work purposes.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service is calling on those who drive for work, their managers and business owners to help reduce risk on the road.

Nicki Peddle, the fire service’s head of prevention, said: "Of the 680 road traffic collisions in West Sussex last year which involved people driving for work, devastatingly nine people died and 137 people were left with serious, life changing, injuries.

"Each year our firefighters attend more collisions on the road than fires so providing road safety advice is extremely important to West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service."

Full steam ahead at museum

By Alicia Denny alicia.denny@sussexpost.co.uk

HORSE power supplied by both four legs and four wheels sent crowds of visitors to the Weald and Downland Museum into transports of delight.

THe Singleton open air museum was thronged for the weekend's Saddles and Steam event as visitors of all ages enjoyed a range of attractions and demonstrations.

With the nostalgic smell of steam wafting over the arena, 16 full-size steam engines were an impressive sight as they moved slowly round demonstrating agricultural uses, such as timber hauling, which were important in the Victorian era.

For enthusiasts on a smaller scale, miniature engines gave children rides around the site while stationary engines and model displays were on show.

Not to be outdone by their mechanical counterparts, Percherons and other breeds handled by members of Southern Counties Heavy Horse Association gave a number of demonstrations of the ageold uses of horses, including cultivation

of the land and the popular horse-drawn fire engine whose firemen put out a blaze.

Traditional organ music accompanied steam-driven gallopers in the fairground while carefully restored and preserved showmen's wagons gave a glimpse of a past way of travelling life.

Vintage and classic cars, ranging in age from a Model T Ford of 1914 to a MGF 1.8, of 2000, drew admiring looks throughout the two days as did a number of commercial vehicles, fire engines, buses and motorcycles, all restored to their original glory by keen owners who wanted to share their passion.

On Saturday, a number of vintage double decker buses formed a special display, followed on Sunday by members of the Portsmouth region of THe Jaguar Enthusiasts Club with their cars in a field adjoining the main show.

With flags flying in the breeze, more than a dozen military vehicles made an impressive static display, complemented by the 23rd Sussex Home Guard reenactors who were happy to talk about their forebears' role in the Second World War. A D-Day commemoration, involving radio-controlled boats, landing craft, tank and miniature pyrotechnic effects, was put on by Portsmouth Model Boat Cub close to the museum's pond.

A huge model railway layout was set up in Gridshell building and the museum's own steam-driven saw bench was working in the wood yard all weekend.

THere was plenty of other entertainment, too, with music from a number of musicians on stage in the food village and a Victorian-style magician, Van Buren, who entertained children and adults with card tricks, escapology and illusions, as well as running a circus skills workshop.

Memorial unveiled for the airmen who lost their lives in Tangmere

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk

CHICHESTER Mayor Richard Plowman has described the unveiling of a memorial in Tangmere as extremely important.

Attending the event on Friday, Cllr Plowman told the Chichester Post: "Today is very important because it's a memorial to the Halifax bomber that came down at Tangmere in November 1943 and when you read the story it's absolutely fascinating.

"THe sacrifice they made is very important. It's important with everything that's been going on with D-Day and it's also important to remember the Royal Air Force.

"THe reason I am here is because Chichester was actually right at the centre of everything that was going on.

"THere has always been a very strong link and it's really great to be here and take some time to think about and remember these people."

Andy Andrews, now 95, from Kent, flew in a Halifax during the war. He said he was touched when he heard the story due to his own experiences.

He told the Chichester Post: "We were flying the Halifax Mk III in 1944-45 and we were looking to finish our tour off at the end of the war but unfortunately we were on a mine trip over Denmark and tagged by a night fighter that was firing cannon fire which killed our pilot and the navigator.

"THe plane was on fire and three of the crew got out before it exploded but I was

still in there with two dead crew members and the bomb aimer. We were blown out the plane and I was unconscious.

"I came round, three quarters of the way down, and pulled the rip cord."

Andy was taken to hospital and then Germany where he was interrogated and then eventually taken to a prisoner of war camp for the rest of the war.

THe 10 Squadron crew were on board a Halifax Mk II aircraft HX181 (ZA-K) flying out of RAF Melbourne in Yorkshire.

THe crew had only flown back from a raid in Mannheim 15 hours before but grabbing their parachutes they scrambled through the small hatch into the vast aircraft.

During the raid on the chemical factory, HX181 sustained considerable damage but managed to limp back across the Channel to try to land safely.

At first, the crew attempted to land at Ford Airfield. However, contemporary reports say a crashed Flying Fortress was blocking the runway, so they flew on to RAF Tangmere but crashed into a hangar there.

On board was the captain, Flight Sergeant Ben Holdsworth, a 23-yearold from Leeds, and 20-year-old Flight Sergeant Clive Telfer, the navigator. THe air bomber was 31-year-old Sergeant Jim Oudinot. Sergeant Bob Downs 22, was the wireless operator. Nineteen-year-old Sergeant Jim Steel was on his first flight, 21-year-old Sergeant Charlie Smith, who was known as ‘Little Charlie’, was the tail gunner and Australian Flight Sergeant John Harper, at 28, was the only member

of the crew to have become a father (Jim Oudinot’s daughter was born five months after his death).

Organiser Aly Etherington said she started researching the crash around two and half years ago: "When I first heard about it, I came to Tangmere to find out more and nobody knew anything about it.

"We have three eyewitness accounts and all independently stated they didn't believe it was the pilot who was flying."

John Dowsett's uncle was a pilot who was onboard the Halifax when it crashed.

He said: "THere are a lot more questions than answers with the crash.

"We don't know whether my uncle was flying it. It was a damaged aircraft so it would have been difficult to land or it could be that he had been killed and someone else had been trying to land the aircraft. He was a very experienced pilot though. THis event is fabulous. If it wasn't for Aly, this would have never occurred.

Her tenacity and dedication to this is praise worthy."

Joyce Warren, secretary at the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum, heard the explosion when she was nine at the time. She said: "I lived in the village.

In those days you weren't told anything.

We heard these terrific explosions and were ordered to get into our shelter and laid there listening to it more or less all night."

Despite the flypast from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight being cancelled, Goodwood Flying School flew one of their Harvard planes over the site during the service.

` Morning club OLDER people are especially vulnerable to loneliness and social isolation – and it can have a serious effect on health.

People can become socially isolated for a variety of reasons, such as getting older or weaker, no longer being the hub of their family, leaving the workplace, the deaths of spouses and friends, or through disability or illness.

To combat this, local home care provider Caremark will be launching a new morning club to be held on the last Wednesday of every month at Lavant Memorial Hall.

Starting on Wednesday, August 28, the monthly event will run from 10am - 12pm and will have a different theme each month. THe activities will vary from music, arts and crafts or you can just come along for a chat and a cuppa.

Caremark care manager Ellie Chapman commented: "According to Age UK, more than 2 million people in England over the age of 75 live alone, and more than a million older people say they go for over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour or family member."

If you would like to find out more information, you can find the event on the Facebook page: facebook.com/ CaremarkChichester or you can call 01243 217060.

New school proves to be a big success

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk FOR the third year in a row, Chichester Free School are celebrating a strong set of results, as 75 per cent of pupils taking their GCSEs this year achieved at least a grade 4 in both English and maths, well above last year’s national average.

THe pupils are the first cohort to have completed their GCSEs on the school’s new premises, at the former Carmelite Convent on Hunston Road, Chichester.

Jenny Clough, the school’s interim principal, said: "I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to the students of Chichester Free School.

"We are extremely proud of the pupils and the school, and these results cement the school’s passionate belief in the core subjects as well as offering a wide and varied curriculum.

"As we welcome many of the year group back to join our expanding sixth form, I would like to thank the staff and parents for their commitment and support to ensure our pupils achieve of their very best."

Leo Bather was pleased with his results. He achieved: maths 8, maths statistics 5, drama 5, English language 8, English literature 4, history 7, biology 8, chemistry 7, physics 7 and French 5.

His teacher told him that the science subjects would be getting reviewed as he was two marks from a grade 8 in all three of them.

He said: "I'm really pleased with my maths result. I want to do medicine.

"I've cancelled my place at Havant and I'm going to stay here and do biology, chemistry and maths and then study medicine in university. My top three

choices are Cambridge, Cardiff and Edinburgh.

"I've just come back from the Fringe Festival at Edinburgh and I love it there.

"I started in Year 9 and Year 10 at about a D level in maths and that's come up to an A* which is great.

"I've really knuckled down probably about March time after various chats with Mrs New, the headteacher and my mum and every night I've studied hard."

Elliott Wright, aged 16, and from Chichester, achieved a 6 in English literature, 6 in English language, maths statistics 7, geography 7, maths 8, biology 7, chemistry 9, physics 9, French 7 and computer science 8.

He said: "I'm really pleased with the 9 in chemistry and 7 in French. When I started French I was pretty bad and chemistry is the hardest science."

Elliott is staying at the Free School to study chemistry, physics and maths and long term he is interested in environmental sciences and particularity renewable energy.

Lucy Underhill had picked up her results with her mum, brother, dad and step-mum.

She achieved science 8 and 7, drama 7, English language 6, English literature 7, maths statistics 4, history 8, maths 6 and food technology 7.

She said: "I'm most pleased about my science and history results. THey are the ones I want to do for A-level. I was a bit worried about my history but it paid off.

"I wasn't expecting to get as good as I got. I wasn't expecting bad but not amazing and I think I did pretty amazing.

"I'm undecided about which school I will study my A-levels at, either here or Bishop Luffa.

Fire problems fail to dampen Selsey students' success

f Elliott Wright and his friend Lucy celebrate

"I want to go to university after and probably study medicine Louise New, who will be beginning her role as principal in September added: "It has been an absolute privilege to have been part of this year group’s education over the last five years, and today was a fitting celebration of all of their hard work and dedication.

"While we are so pleased with the overall school performance, even more importantly today we have been celebrating the personal successes of our young people, many of whom have fought against the odds to achieve wonderful results of which they can be truly proud.

"I am so excited for September, when we will welcome many of them back into our Sixth Form."

THE DESTRUCTION of their school building failed to extinguish the achievements of students at THe Selsey Academy whose successes at GCSE were a double cause of celebration yesterday.

As headteacher Tom Garfield greeted youngsters and their parents, he reflected on the particularly difficult practical journey the community had travelled since the devastating fire of August, 2016, which meant students were taught in temporary accommodation around the town until returning to the re-built premises in .

He said: "We're particularly celebrating this year because it is our first set of results in this building and students have had to deal with so many changes during their two years of GCSE studies. THey have done really well.

"We're also delighted that our results for the number of students gaining grade four and above in English and maths are 11 per cent up on last year and ten per cent of candidates have grade sevens or above in all the subjects they've taken."

One proud parent happy to pay tribute to the school was Lisa Lyon. She said: "THere has been a superb level of teaching here, despite the hurdles faced by everyone. I can't praise the school enough - it's been exceptional."

Her daughter, Grace Lyon, who gained two grade 9s, and an 8 with her other subjects passed at grade seven, will be studying A-levels in English literature, history and law at Bishop Luffa School in Chichester.

She was pleased with her results, saying it was good they hadn't been affected

by studying in four different buildings between Years 7 and 11.

Also planning to continue her education at Bishop Luffa is Boroka Kiss, who is looking forward to taking a university degree after A-levels in maths, physics and psychology.

Paris Hilton achieved a distinction in music but she has her sights set on A-levels in criminology, psychology and law following her successes at GCSE exams. After studying at South Downs College at Crookhorn, she has ideas of a

career as a detective.

Fellow students Fin Clark, of Bracklesham, and Freddie Chandler, of Selsey, will be able to continue their friendship at Chichester College where they will both study on the B-Tech business course, although neither have particular career plans at present.

Freddie echoed the feelings of his old classmates in having enjoyed their time at THe Selsey Academy.

"It's been good all round, especially being in a new school."

Inspirational Mujib and Leila

By Alicia Denny alicia.denny@sussexpost.co.uk

f Lucinda Turner

f Anton Madinaveitia

f Leila Karim

LESS THAN three years ago, Ethopian Mujib Tamam-Mukhtar was scraping an existence alone in the infamous "Jungle" refugee camp in Calais, today he is celebrating gaining a grade seven in maths GCSE. When he joined Bishop Luffa School in 2016, Mujib spoke no English but assistant head teacher Andrew Jackson said: "Mujib is an inspiration to all of us. He has endured more hardship in the last 16 years than most of us will see in our lifetimes. His resilience and his cheerfulness have made him one of the most popular students in his year."

Leila Karim was the school's top achiever, attaining a clean sweep of ten grade nines. She will now be staying on at the school to study A-levels in maths, physics, chemistry and another science subject.

"I just can't believe it," she said happily as she shared the news with friends including Emily Munns, who was equally pleased with her grades and will be continuing with A-levels in physics, maths and English language.

THe girls, who live in Chichester, also both attended Jessie Younghusband School in the city.

Jasmine Westlake and Lucinda Turner both achieved grade 9 in 8 subjects, while Esme Rowbotham, Grace Kemp and Anton Madinaveitia joined them in achieving grade eight or above in all of their subjects.

Lucinda, of Fishbourne, who said she was really happy with her results, will be taking Spanish as one of her A-levels,

as she always loved the language since first learning it. She is also taking maths, physics and economics.

As well as academic subjects, Anton, who lives at Westbourne, has enjoyed sports while at Bishop Luffa, including rugby and athletics, and is thinking of a career in engineering after completing maths and science A-levels.

Freya Jones made the most progress of any student at the school. Freya’s results from primary school gave her targets of sixes and sevens but Freya worked hard to come out with an average grade of 8.4, including five grade nines.

It was not only Year 11 students who were receiving good news, Will Lynas took three GCSEs in Year 10, achieving a grade 9 in maths, an A in additional maths and an 8 in computing.

Head teacher Austen Hindman said: "Will was ready to take those exams and making him wait until he was in Year 11 would have left him bored and demotivated. He is now able to go on and study maths and computing at a higher level while he completes the rest of his GCSEs. We are very proud of his incredible achievement."

He added that overall results were slightly better than expected with 86 per cent of students gaining grade four or above in English and maths but he was stunned by the breadth of the youngsters' achievements.

"Every year the students who do well in exams do more than just study. THe most successful students lead full lives, taking part in music, drama, and sports or in other activities like the Duke of Edinburgh Award."

It is outside of the classroom that our students learn the resilience to succeed in exams."

Plenty of dreams of medicine careers for school students as GCSE results released

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk

PUPILS at Chichester High School were celebrating excellent exam results on THursday when they picked up their GCSEs. Many of the students are staying on at the school to study at sixth form, including head girl, Rose Gibbens, who achieved one grade 8, three grade 7s as well as grade 6s, and head boy, Josh Loosely, who achieved one grade 8, 5 grade 7s as well as grade 6s.

Headteacher Joanne McKeown said: "Success as a teacher is all about

f Ollie and Jess celebrate

how much our students achieve and, on behalf of the school as a whole, I am ridiculously pleased with the achievements of our young people, in an examinations system that is demanding and rigorous.

“THis has been a genuinely lovely group of young people who have wholeheartedly embraced the challenges their courses have thrown at them but, impressively, they have also given their best to their academic study.

“I have no doubt they will go onto achieve great things with us in our sixth form, at college and in their apprenticeships.”

Issie Tucker, 16, from Chichester, was crying with tears of joy after she opened her result and realised how well she had done. Issie achieved the following results: biology 9, physics 8, chemistry 7, history 9, art 8, RE 8, maths 7, English language 9 and English literature 9.

She said: “I am really shocked! I was getting ready for a 5 in maths. I have been up since 6am looking at the grade boundaries. I didn’t think there was any way I would get this. I’m most pleased with my maths grade. I never expected that and I am just really, really happy.

“I’m going to stay here for sixth form and hopefully do medicine at university and having the 7 in maths will really help.

For my A-levels I’m going to do English literature, biology and chemistry.

“I hope, maybe Exeter for university, that would be my dream.”

At the high school, staff were delighted to have achieved 56 per cent of pupils passing maths and English.

Ollie Smith, also 16 and from Chichester, was the top performing boy in the school. He received the following

grades: history 9, maths 8, biology 9, chemistry 9, physics 9, French 9, English language 9, English literature 8 and RE 8.

He said: “It’s crazy that I am the top performing boy. I never thought I was going to do so well in maths because it was always my worst subject.

"I'm going to the sixth form here and taking French, history, biology and chemistry. I'd then like to go to university and whatever degree I study I will pair it with French so I can do a year abroad in Canada."

Ollie's friend, Jess, who is also from Chichester and aged 16, was really pleased for her childhood friend.

She said: "I'm really proud of him for the last two years I have seen him work really hard and he really deserves it."

Jess got an 8 and 7 in science, a 9 in drama, 9 in history, 7 in maths, 8 in Spanish, 9 in English language, 8 in English literature and 9 in RE. She said: "I'm quite excited because I didn't think I could do that well. I was hoping to get a couple of 7s and 8s but didn’t expect to get any 9s.

"I got a migraine in my Spanish exam which didn't help but I did well in the exam so it was OK. "I'm thinking of going to dance school but I'm not sure what I want to do. I am going to sixth form here though."

Saffron Busk, who has dreams of a career in medicine and perhaps becoming a medic in the RAF, said she was really pleased with her results.

She was mostly pleased to have achieved a grade 9 in Latin. She said: "I'm really happy. I didn't expect it. My sister took Latin and helped me through my exams. My teacher was also really nice. I wanted to do really well in it."

LETTERS to the editor

om that our e to succeed Readers' letters are welcomed by the Chichester Post.

They should be limited to less than 300 words and be submitted by 5pm on Monday to be considered for publication in that week's edition. We reserve the right to edit letters before they are published.

They should be emailed to: news@sussexpost.co.uk, posted to: Post Newspapers Ltd, 63 London Road, Bognor Regis, PO21 1DF or handed in to our office at this address.

Dear Editor, After a visit to the celebrated cathedral we walked through the grounds noting the effort put into the pristine gardens. And what a credit it all is to the city of Chichester, certainly our favourite place to visit without the hindrance of a vehicle.

We strolled to the bus station and what a shock to the sight and senses that was! Is is the dirtiest bus station in the country?

It's open to the elements, leaving large puddles when it rains. THere are no toilet facilities, just damaged wooden benches to sit on, usually wet.

When asking why no buses are available people have been ignored.

It's incredible in a prestigious city like this. It's been going on for years, there is not a timetable that seems to work and a damaged roof allows water to drip onto the miserable waiting public.

I saw an old woman wandering from driver to driver asking 'Where is my bus?' One said, 'Look at the bus schedules madam', and quickly hurried on.

THere's no doubt this place is an embarrassment to the historic city of Chichester. Why has nothing been done about it?

Portsmouth had a similar problem, certainly not as bad as this one, now they have an efficient bus station to be proud of! THeir drivers wear smart uniforms and are happy to help the travelling public.

Come on Chichester, time for action!

Yours sincerely, Brian Farrelly Ryde Isle of Wight

College student to represent the UK in the Skills Olympics

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk

FORMER Chichester College student Owen Aldous is on his way to Russia, ready to represent the UK in the ‘Skills Olympics’ this week.

Owen was selected to compete in the cabinet making category for Team UK at the WorldSkills 2019 Finals, being held in Kazan from August 22 to 27.

He’ll be joining more than 30 of the UK’s best and brightest young skilled apprentices and students on the plane to Russia at the weekend – and he is eagerly anticipating the start of the competition.

Owen said: “I’m feeling excited and nervous but I’m as ready for it as I can be.

“It’s a big step into the unknown, as we won’t know what our project will be until the competition starts but I’ve done a lot of training and I feel it’s all going in the right direction.

“We’ve all worked really hard - the training is intense, physically and mentally, as you spend countless hours trying to improve and get better.

“I feel like I’m in a good place and I’m looking forward to getting out there and getting started.”

Owen is following in the footsteps of a number of Chichester College students who have represented the UK at WorldSkills competitions – not least the 2015 and 2013 gold medallists Edward ‘Woody’ Harringman and George Callow, who is now one of Owen’s managers at Callow & Co. Owen added: “I’ve had so much support from George, Woody and Luke [Griffiths, another former Chichester

College student who won a Medal of Excellence at WorldSkills in 2009].

“I work for George and Luke, so it has helped that they’ve both competed at WorldSkills and understand the competition and what’s involved.

“THey’ve given me advice on technique and about the competition. And they are both coming out to Russia for the competition, which will be fantastic – no pressure there!”

As well as support in Russia from his managers, Owen will also be being cheered on from a distance by staff at his

old college.

Shelagh Legrave, chief executive of the Chichester College Group, said: “We will be keeping a very close eye on the completion at Kazan.

“To be selected to represent the UK in any competition is a great honour and we are all very proud of Owen. His determination is an example to all of our students.

I know I speak for everyone at Chichester College – and the wider college group – when I wish him the very best of luck for the competition.”

The Class of 2019 Reap the Rewards of Their Hard Work

The Bourne is delighted to see the fruition of all the efforts of the class of 2019 - a diverse group of young people who have gelled together so well over the last 5 years and who have done themselves proud with the culmination of their GCSE results. This year we have seen the new grading systems and exam criteria in place and so we are especially proud of those who rose to the challenge and have seen their hard work reap fruition.

Here are some of our key achievements: Our highest achieving subjects were Sciences, Statistics, Business Studies and Food Technology, closely followed

by Maths, MFL and Computer Science.

In MFL over 35% of the cohort achieved grade 7 + (equal to the old A grade) and in Maths it was almost 20%.

Over 56% of our students achieved a grade 4+ in both English and Maths which prepares them so well for their next stage of education.

We have seen significant improvement in Spanish, Art and in Triple Science with over 45% of the cohort sitting this award – which is a real strength of our school.

Many students achieved the

“Aspiration, Innovation and Motivation”

top grades of 7-9 with 15% of all grades in this higher category. All of this reflects our continued push for excellence in all areas, for ALL of our students.

Our highest achiever was: Emily Wells who achieved 6 x Grade 9 and 4 x Grade 8.

She was followed closely by Iris Joyce, Tess Robertson, Daniel Simms, Carmen Chan and Yasmin Smith.

A special mention must also go to the following who have made significant progress since they started

with us at the Bourne, surpassing all progress targets and expectations: Rebecca Rudd, Luke Buncle, Emma Meads, Victoria Steel, Joshua Coates, Ellie Walmsley, Sandra Bennett, Finn Loveday, Harry Hall and Finn Carter.

It has certainly been a year of hard work and determination.

Our congratulations go to all our departing students, who have successfully

completed their time at the Bourne and have been a real credit to themselves as well as to the College.

We are very sad to see them go as they have been an amazing year group, ably led by our Head Boy and Girl and Deputy Head Boy and Girl. We wish them well for a very successful future as they take up their hard earned places at local colleges and in their new ventures next year.

Ed's in a good place, thanks to his musical 'gift' MUSIC has "given me a chance in life", says Ed Goodale, who has made no secret of having Asperger's syndrome, which he describes as a 'gift'.

Midhurst-based Ed's love of music and performance helped him to understand his condition and he interprets his view of life through his songs with thought-provoking lyrics and catchy riffs and melodies.

With brother Ollie on percussion, Ed has played extensively at gigs and festivals throughout the UK and Europe since 2011.

He launched his third recording and first live album, 'THe Gift', at Glastonbury Festival 2017 with a set on the famous festival’s Strummerville Stage.‘THe Gift’ album is Ed and Ollie's set recorded at the biannual Marillion Weekend in Holland in March 2017.

Looking at where to take their careers after that busy period as an acoustic duo, Ed and Ollie, plus their dad, Simon, who is their manager, felt a bigger sound

was needed. THey were joined by guitar virtuoso and Ed’s mentor, Steve Ball, and bass player Steve Burrell who both were up for the challenge of something new.

Ed has been a long-time supporter of THe National Autistic Society and gave half of the proceeds from his first single, ‘Symptoms’, to the charity and has acted as an ambassador for the charity at many high profile events.

Ed said: "It took a while for me and my family to find out I was on the spectrum and it was tough when I was young; music has given me a chance in life."

West Sussex fans and anyone interested in hearing what's special about the band's genre-busting folkrock have three chances in the coming weeks.

First up, tomorrow (Saturday) is Live at Langhams, beer and music festival at Langhams Brewery, THe Granary, Langham Lane, Lodsworth, where the Ed Goodale Band will top the bill with Fate the Juggler.

Food will be available, including a hog roast, plus, of course, a well-stocked bar and children's games during the free entry, all-day event from 1pm to 11pm. Collections will be made for THe South Downs National Park's Bee-Line Project.

Bringing a festival vibe to the Weald and Downland Living Museum at Singleton, three bands will be playing outdoors on Friday, August 30, from 7-11pm.

THey are THe Mantic Muddlers, Silver THreads and Fate the Juggler.

THe following evening, Saturday, August 31, THe Ed Goodale Band will close the Summer Session at the museum after sets by Brogue and Southerlies. Tickets for both nights are £15 and available through the museum's website at: wealddown.co.uk THe Ed Goodale Band will also be performing at the South Downs Folk Festival in Bognor Regis on September 21.

Inspiring young people with message of unity and optimism  Crossing Lines Chichester Festival Youth THeatre Review by Alicia Denny Until August 24, 7.30pm Tickets: cft.org.uk Watching young people put every ounce of passion, inspiration and commitment into a theatrical performance is always uplifting for their audience and Crossing Lines is no exception.

THis outdoor promenade production around five venues in central Chichester has been specially written by Anna Ledwich, following a concept developed by six young staff members at Chichester Festival THeatre.

With its innovative audio production whereby each member of the 150-strong audience was issued with headphones to clearly hear the Companions as they

were conducted around the locations in three groups, this was a good way to follow the story and be more involved with the characters as they imbued a sense of urgency while urging the spectators who were "escaping from the city" to stay together and look out for spies.

It was somewhat difficult to suspend reality while strolling in the precinct between the closed shops of East Street and being asked by an earnest teenager if "a spy had looked in your eyes" as an innocent middle-aged man walked past the group in the opposite direction.

Depending on which of the three groups they were allocated, members of the audience visited the venues in a different order, having started together on the Cathedral Green with Chichester citizens saying farewell to those going off to war in 1914 and 1939. Axel, the leader of the modern forces of Albion - an excellent performance by Tom Lunn - was also introduced and the nine resistance fighters who became the 2019 Companions.

THe talents of these Companions, who all had

names linked to communication, such as Sony and Tesla, in reflection of one of the themes of the play, were matched by other members of the cast who may have had less to say but whose acting was equally effective.

Moving on to Pallant House, a group represented European refugees from the First World War being greeted in Chichester then, at THe Novium Museum, a scene showed Britons and Jews sheltering together from an air raid during the Second World War. THe Cathedral Cloisters hosted another scene from the Second World War and a relationship between a British boy and a German prisoner of war before the audience was led into the Bishop's Palace Gardens for the finale as darkness fell.

THere, in a garish funfair setting with Axel centre stage in the denoument of the resistance fighters, the 47-strong cast came together in a colourful, musical finale where the combined efforts of the young people forced the downfall of Albion and, amid a message of optimism and togetherness, sent the audience out of the gardens with food for thought.

NEW RELEASE

Angel Has Fallen

Action, Drama, Thriller Screened at Picturedrome Cinema HAVING already saved Olympus and London from falling, Gerard Butler returns to his role as secret service agent Mike Banning in the third film in the trilogy where, this time, he must save himself.

When there is an assassination attempt on U.S. president Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman), Banning, his trusted confidant, is wrongfully accused and taken into custody.

After escaping from capture, he becomes a man on the run and must evade his own agency and outsmart the FBI in order to find the real threat to the President. Desperate to uncover the truth, Banning turns to unlikely allies to help clear his name, keep his family from harm, and save the country from imminent danger. In 2013’s Olympus Has Fallen, Banning thwarted a terrorist mastermind from capturing the White House, then in the 2016 sequel London Has Fallen he prevented an assassination plot to kill all of the world leaders attending the Prime Minister’s funeral, now the third film sees Banning himself become the target of a set up from a new assailant.

The explosive third film in the series sees Morgan Freeman return to his role as U.S. president Allan Trumbull and also co-stars Jada Pinkett Smith, Piper Perabo, and Nick Nolte as Banning’s estranged father.

with her parents, nothing could prepare Dora for her most dangerous adventure ever - high school.

Always the explorer, Dora quickly finds herself leading Boots (her best friend, a monkey), Diego, a mysterious jungle inhabitant, and a ragtag group of teens on a live-action adventure to save her parents and solve the impossible mystery behind a lost city of gold. Transformers: The Last Knight’s Isabela Moner steps into the titular role of Dora, joining such Hollywood heavyweights as Michael Peña and Eva Longoria as Dora’s parents, and Benicio Del Toro and Danny Trejo who lend their voices to Swiper the fox and Boots the monkey respectively. This cements the movie as a more family-orientated adventure as opposed to the younger-skewing fare of the classic TV show, following Dora on her journey to rescue her parents and uncover the Lost City Of Gold. Expect familiar call-backs to fan-favourite characters and lines from the original Nickelodeon show, but for the most part, Dora And The Lost City Of Gold represents a stark leap forward for the series’ future. Strap on your red boots and purple backpack. It’s time for an adventure!

Bognor Regis Pride Cancelled? Think again…

PRIDE will go ahead on Saturday, August 31, as organisers refuse to be put back in the closet and take an alternative approach to the original plans.

In two weeks' time, Bognor Regis will make history as it hosts its first ever free Pride Party at the Legends Pier. THis will also be the first time any family event has been held within the Arun district which aims to help promote, support and celebrate diverse LGBTQ+ community, their families, friends and their allies.

Following a social media outcry at the recent cancellation of Bognor Regis Pride, published three weeks ago, the main event organiser and LGBT+ ally, Sarah Boote-Coote, remained driven to help provide a free event where individuals may feel accepted to express the person they are without prejudice or persecution.

“Pride, Bognor Regis was formed to fill the gap for our LGBT+ community in Bognor Regis. When it became apparent that we were unable to fulfil our aim for the large Pride event we had hoped for this year, we were exceptionally disappointed and by reading comments on social media, so was our town.

"Because of this outpouring and in the spirit of the Pride moment, we decided the main Pride day, August 31, will not pass by without recognition.

"THe idea of a Pride Party on the Pier was born thanks to sponsors, Bognor Regis & Chichester Post Newspapers and Legends Pier Bar agreed to host the day at their family sports and entertainment."

THis is a free family event where absolutely everyone is welcome without any discrimination of age, sexuality, gender or age (however alcohol is still adults).

Pride is about diversity, inclusion and the respect of expression. THere is a very diverse community in our lovely seaside town, and it will be great to finally see everyone party together.

THere are some fantastic acts to enjoy, all free, plus rainbow face art and hair colouring to really get everyone into the mood of the day. Feel free to dress to express and impress. Pride Party on the Pier will be a fantastic event for Bognor Regis, and organisers can wait to welcome you all at Legends between 2pm and 10pm on August 31.

THrough my Pride planning journey I realise there is very little in our town and almost nothing across the Arun district, for our LGBT community. THis certainly gave Pride, Bognor Regis, food for thought. Earlier this year, we successfully secured a £10,000 lottery grant for the

planned large two-day pride event which, despite its cancellation, proved that we were ticking the boxes and fulfilling criteria. Due to the issues we encountered the lottery grant needed to be returned. However, we expressed our concerns re the lack of facilities our LGBT+ community has in Bognor Regis and requested that the Lottery considered a grant to help us address those issues.

We are also delighted to be able to tell you that we have been successful in our bid and have received a 5k grant from the Lottery to build our website and establish a monthly event at different venues around our town. THe aim will be to provide our LGBT+ community group for social events and more.

Our goal during this event will be to try to start raising the money required for Pride 2020 and funds to help start addressing the social isolation issues, allowing our LGBT+ community group to find peer support and generally have fun. We hope our future LGBT +events will start in September and every month thereafter leading up to our Pride event next summer.

We are so excited to have achieved all this in such a short space of time despite having a few disappointments along the way. Pride, Bognor Regis, Post Newspapers and Legends Pier bar, and all those who have helped so far, are proud indeed!

Q Hair and Beauty 37 North St, Chichester PO19 1LX Tel: 01243 781585 www.qhairandbeauty.co.uk WHEN brides are planning their wedding, apart from finding the perfect gown, one of the most important elements is making sure their hair will be their crowning glory on the big day.

Having complete confidence in knowing their hair will be styled to perfection and their make-up looking fabulous, and that all the arrangements for this will be handled smoothly for them, takes away any potential stress.

Looking ahead and making plans well in advance ensures it can all be achieved - and there’s no-one better placed to make it happen than Lewis Albon, the business development executive at Q Hair and Beauty, Chichester’s multiaward-winning salon.

Formerly a butler at the Goodwood Estate, Lewis has a wealth of experience in catering for the needs of the rich and famous, including royalty, and he takes enormous pride and personal satisfaction in ensuring brides who put their trust in Q will look and feel fabulous on their wedding day.

“I take great pride in building up a personal relationship with every one of our guests at Q who deserve exceptional service and allow me to take away any

totally at ease.”

Although planning well in advance is the ideal, Lewis and Team Q can step in at the last moment when the occasion requires.

“We can be very accommodating when something urgent crops up,” Lewis says. “Just recently we looked after large wedding parties in three different locations at just six weeks’ notice. THere was even one with just a week’s notice when someone had been let down at the last moment.

“Being involved with a wedding is something we all love here at Q and we will do our absolute utmost to make sure it is a wonderful day to remember for the bride. I want them to know they can put complete trust and confidence in me and our team - I give them my personal contact number so that if they have a little panic, they can reach out to me at any time, day or night.

“It’s a tremendous privilege to be part of the most important day of someone’s life and we will never let them down.”

strain by organising everything for them,” Lewis says.

“THe key is in understanding what each bride hopes to achieve and putting everything in place for them. I like to be the only person they deal with in making all the arrangements, so I get to know the guest and what they are aiming for.”

For many brides, forward planning with Q begins 12 months in advance, when they have their initial meeting with Lewis in the lovely, relaxed setting of Q’s beautiful townhouse on North Street.

“At that stage I take all the details that are applicable, find out if it will be just the bride or other members of the bridal party such as the bridesmaids, work out the timings,” Lewis says. “Depending on the style the bride wants, I will look at which stylist best suits the requirements and check they will be available on the day. If the bride is one of our regular guests, they will have the hairdresser who usually looks after their hair and understands it.

“We always recommend a trial, a 90-minute appointment with the stylist the bride will be seeing on the wedding day. In fact, the bride can have as many trials as she wishes to make sure she is going to have the perfect style. It’s important that everyone knows what they are doing on the day. We can also take into account the head-dress brides will be wearing - a veil, a tiara, a crown of flowers - whatever the bride wants, we

will do everything possible to achieve it.

“If the bride wants her make-up done, we use only Clarins products and they give the lovely natural look which most people want on their wedding day.”

Q offers a wide range of bridal packages, both in-salon and on location at the bride’s home, at the hotel they may be staying in or at the wedding venue.

"We’ve seen a huge surge in the number of people wanting our team of stylists and beauty therapists to go out on location,” says Lewis. “Last year we looked after between 80 and 90 in-house wedding parties, but this year there has been only one - all the others have been at a location chosen by the bride.

“Because we have three salons Midhurst and Donnington as well as Chichester - we have enough stylists and beauty therapists to cope with the largest bridal party or several weddings in one day. In fact, just recently, we had three big weddings on one day and it went completely smoothly for all of them.

Sometimes the team for one location will include four stylists and one or more beauty therapists.

“We have an amazing choice of bridal packages and for those who choose inhouse, they have the exclusive use of our courtyard salon and garden where they can relax in privacy and enjoy Prosecco and delicious fresh pastries. THat’s ideal for a larger bridal party as everything is done in that area and everyone can be

Looking after yourself. What does it really mean?

By Antonia Rolls - Artist, Reiki Master and Soul Midwife Antonia Rolls www.antoniarolls.co.uk agd@antoniarolls.co.uk soulmidwife@antoniarolls.co.uk 07787 754123 LOOK after yourself, we are told, be kind to yourself. Very good advice, sounds wonderful, but I wonder what does it really mean?

When our energy is low, we feel tired and defeated. Yes, I think when someone tells me to Look after Yourself, but how? Be kind to myself - do I eat more chocolates? Order another 15 useless items online to cheer me up?

Well, yes, if these things make you feel better, and that is partly the point.

When we feel down, worried, sad, it’s very hard to look after ourselves, let alone anyone else. Cheering ourselves up with chocolates may work, but only temporarily.

Looking after yourself means paying attention to what your body and mind is telling you and allowing yourself to stop.

We want quick results, to feel better as soon as possible, but sometimes, we have to sit with whatever is bothering us, pay attention to it and stop trying to avoid it.

Imagine a friend has a problem and comes to you for support. You rush around your friend, making tea, producing cakes, talking all the time about how you care and giving advice.

Your friend may enjoy the cake, listen to all you say and go away again only to feel worse than before because all they really needed, was for you to stop, pay attention and listen.

It is the same with listening to ourselves. Self care is about paying attention and finding small (or big!) ways to do something lovely just for yourself.

THree ways to look after yourself 1. Stop, sit quietly, even if it is only for ten minutes.

2. Find something, or someone, to make you laugh.

3. Try a Reiki energy healing treatment.

Reiki is so gentle, a powerful and relaxing form of energy healing. A Japanese technique, it harnesses the universal life force all around us, and

channels it through the palms of the hands to promote stress relief, relaxation, and balance.

As a Reiki Master, I have seen the wonderful effects of this powerful energetic healing on physical, spiritual, emotional and mental wellbeing. Rei means God’s wisdom, and Ki is the energy life force, also known as Chi.

Reiki works alongside all other treatments and, as it channels the universal life force, it can do no harm. It is a hands-on treatment and you remain fully clothed, either lying on a treatment couch or sitting comfortably in a chair.

If you don’t want hands-on, I can practise Reiki with my hands away from the body.

I receive energetic feedback during

sessions, and discuss this afterwards with you, as it is always helpful and fascinating.

First session is 120 minutes at £90 and subsequent sessions are 90 minutes at £45. I am Bognor Regis-based, so do call me, and treat yourself to some gentle, kind, energetic healing.

Get on the road to fitness with established bicycle business Kampos Cycles Facebook @ KamposCycles 01243 849097 SUMMER is the ideal time to start cycling or return to the fitness, fun, fresh air and freedom which is being on a bicycle.

According to NHS England, whether you're cycling to work, to school, to the shops or just for fun, the humble bicycle is an easy way to get more active.

For short journeys, any good working bike will do.

You might have an old 10-speed racer, a shopping bike or a bargain mountain bike that you could use.

If you're buying a secondhand bike or you have an old bike that's been gathering dust, consider having it serviced at a bike shop to ensure it's roadworthy.

If you're buying a new bike, there are lots of models to choose from. Hybrids, road bikes and mountain bikes are most popular.

A bike shop can advise you on the correct frame size and help you select a bike to suit your budget and the type of cycling you want to do.

Find out if your workplace operates a cycle to work scheme. THis is a more affordable way of buying a new bike and safety equipment.

For most people, cycling is a safe and effective form of exercise. If you have any health concerns or an existing medical problem, see your GP before you start.

For health benefits, adults and older adults should do at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderateintensity activity each week. Children and young people should do at least an hour of moderate to vigorous intensity activity every day.

For help on returning to bike riding, having an old bicycle serviced or upgrading to the latest model, it's wise to seek specialist advice such as from Kampos Cycles where the extended showroom, still in London Road, Bognor Regis, close to the former site of the business, offers sales of new and used bicycles in a range of styles to suit varied needs plus comprehensive servicing, repairs and accessories.

Whether you want to pop to the shops, go for a marathon ride on the downs and everything inbetween, the experienced and friendly staff at Kampos will help to get you on the road to fitness and independence.

THERE is so much in the news right now about obesity, and being overweight.

food you eat is meant to give you natural and sustained energy that you can burn and still feel energised.

Food is not meant to be a quick fix, or a crazy high. THe problem is food is so attainable, we never have to wait for it.

Everything in our world regards food is easy and accessible in abundance if we choose to make it that way.

Balanced and lasting energy is really what you should be striving for, and almost forget about the weight itself, but the healthy foods you put in your mouths should bring you back into balance.

Some people's ‘normal’ is different to others.

It's important to remember that whatever you put in your mouth will be the reason you feel like you do. If you have endless coffees, sugary cereals and pastries for breakfast, you may fee sluggish!

Someone asked me the other day what are the top foods you would recommend for weight loss and health, too. THat’s a difficult one to answer, because there are so many amazing foods, but these two came into my mind straight away.

• One fruit that deserves to be highlighted is grapefruit. Its effects on weight control have been studied directly and grapefruit has been known to reduce insulin resistance, a metabolic abnormality that is implicated in various chronic diseases. So, something that might

Balanced and lasting energy is really what you should be striving for

be worth trying is eating half a grapefruit about half an hour before your daily meals, as it may help you feel more satiated and eat fewer overall calories.

• I have spoken about chia seeds many times, but they are ridiculously fabulous and among the most nutritious foods on the planet. THey contain 12 grams of carbohydrates per ounce (28 grams), which is pretty high, but 11 of these grams are fibre.

THis makes chia seeds a low-carb-friendly food and one of the best sources of fibre in

the world. Because of its high fibre content, chia seeds can absorb up to 11–12 times their weight in water, turning gel-like and expanding in your stomach. So, given their nutrient composition, it makes sense that chia seeds could be a useful part of a weight loss diet as they make you feel full and are so packed with goodness and fibre!

CommunityNews&Views SEPTEMBER, 2019, sees the launch of the first ever Chichester Walking Weekend; a collaboration between Visit Chichester and THe Ramblers Association South West Sussex Group.

Covering the magnificence of the South Downs National Park, the stunning stretches of coastline, the natural beauty of Chichester Harbour and, of course, the historic Roman city of Chichester itself, the weekend will showcase the wealth of attractions this wonderful part of Sussex has to offer as a premier walking destination; and what’s more, many of the guided events will be free of charge.

THe weekend will offer walkers the chance to take in the stunning scenery this unique part of the country has to offer, while being led by a knowledgeable guide.

Trails will lead walkers over the picturesque Downs, while other routes will amble around the Manhood Peninsular, exploring the local history of Selsey and Sidlesham, against the backdrop of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

City routes will guide walkers through Chichester’s 2,000year history, discovering lesser-known nooks and crannies and exploring the city’s celebrated landmarks too.

Further walks explore the areas around the quaint market towns of Midhurst and Petworth, and the village of Amberley, while THe Weald and Downland Living Museum is also offering a one mile guided walk of its unique museum.

THere’s also the chance to take part in an Artist-led ‘Walkshop’ where walkers will take part in creative exercises during a beautiful woodland walk, or why not learn more about the resident wildlife on the shore on a Marine Life Walk with Selsey’s Mulberry Divers?

THere is something for everyone in this celebration of the area while embracing the health benefits of walking.

MARKS & Spencer in Chichester has raised £3,689 to help fund the UK’s first dementia support hub in Tangmere.

Sage House supports and cares for people living with dementia and their families in West Sussex by providing the best quality advice, care and emotional support all with the aim of helping to maintain independence and wellbeing, to prevent loneliness and isolation and to support carers at what can be very difficult times.

Staff and customers of Marks & Spencer in the city centre chose Dementia Support as their charity for the last year and raised £3,688.84 through various staff activities - cake baking, quizzes and even rode a static bike at the front of the store.

Head of fundraising at the charity, Sarah Vickery, said: "THe staff and customers of Marks & Spencer have been wonderful in supporting our charity over the last year.

"THe money they have raised will directly help people living with dementia and their families in our local community through our day care services at Sage House as well as our unique wayfinding service which provides information, advice and guidance to people when they really need it.

"Our wayfinder service is dramatically transforming the experience of dementia for people in our area. Uniquely, a wayfinder offers personalised information and emotional support throughout the dementia journey from pre-diagnosis to end of life.

"People can meet with the same wayfinder whenever they need to, for example, when there is a crisis point or as the dementia progresses and behaviours might change."

Support and advice ranges from accessing and making a home more dementia-friendly, or better managing a change such as night waking or forgetting who loved ones are.

To help Dementia Support raise the £1 million needed, contact them on: 01243 958460 or visit: dementia-support.org.uk/appeal

A PROFESSIONAL sculptor is helping students at a city school to connect to the school's history.

Roger Parkes has joined up with a group of Year 8 and Year 9 students from Chichester Free School to craft a new sculpture garden for the community.

Making the most of skills taught by Roger, the children will design 3D models that will be displayed locally.

Community members will then get the opportunity to select one or two models to be developed into full-scale sculptures by Roger’s expert hands.

A new community sculpture garden will be created at the school to display these project models and sculptures, with the hope that other artworks will join the showcase in the future.

David Sword, of Sussex Arts Academy, a charity that supports schools and professional artists in the community, said: “When we started to think about the project, we discovered that many members of the school community were not fully aware of the building’s history and so we wanted to do something exciting and different to bring the story to life.

“We’re inspired by seeing children take their creativity and problem-solving to new heights when working alongside professional artists.

"By choosing sculpture we’ll bring a new area of knowledge and skill to a diverse group of children, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, which would not otherwise be available.

“Everyone involved is looking forward to seeing how, through the art project and community engagement, the children will develop new skills. THeir pride in being part of a wider community with a shared history – and with a new sculpture garden – is sure to be immense and we can’t wait to see the result.”

THe research and development of ideas for the sculpture work are due to be completed by end of September.

The opening ten years of the city's hospital

By Prof. David Candy, volunteer at the Novium Museum

f Nurses in front of WW2 blast walls IN AUGUST, 2019, St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester, will be 80 years old. It was opened in 1939 as a long-stay hospital for the elderly, with 194 beds, financed

by West Sussex County Council.

As originally designed, there were minimal bathing facilities, as patients were expected to spend most of the time in bed. THere was also no operating theatre.

By contrast, the Royal West Sussex Hospital, in Broyle Road, opened in

1826, was housed in a gracious building and was funded by charity and fees from patients who could afford them.

Some members of staff at the Royal West Sussex looked down on the new arrival in Spitalfield Lane as a ‘poor relation’.

In September, 1939, the Second World War was declared and, as a result, St Richard’s was transformed.

Two surgeons, Mr Douglas Martin and Mr Dr EP Clarke, were appointed.

f Main ward block as it would have appeared in the 1940s

Together, they covered general, brain, gynaecology, obstetrics, orthopaedics and paediatric surgery.

THe outbreak of war saw the disappearance of any rivalries between the two hospitals as physicians from the Royal West Sussex travelled to St Richard’s to help with patients.

In 1939, the Ministry of Health designated St Richard’s as a GH (general hospital) under Emergency Medical Services for the treatment of war casualties. THis centralised control was a forerunner of the National Health Service. THere were frequent inspections

by Rear Admiral Sir Gordon GordonTaylor, who arrived at the hospital in a staff car, flying a Rear Admiral’s pennant.

At the outbreak of war, the newly finished hospital was a shell, without beds or equipment. One of the hospital’s wards was converted into an operating theatre. When one surgeon was operating, the other gave the anaesthetic, in a room converted from a Sister’s office.

THe first operation was a caesarean section, for which the gynaecologist Miss Everell Shippam was called in, bringing her own operating table, which the hospital was then reluctant to release it back to her.

In 1940, ten pre-fabricated wards of 40 beds were each assembled on the site, called ‘hutted’ wards (later renamed more picturesquely ‘Willowmead’) which brought the bed complement to 597. THese wards were meant to last only ten years but eventually lasted for 50. An underground air raid shelter was built on the site where the Chichester Medical Education Centre now stands. THe x-ray department consisted of one portable x-ray machine.

Members of the Women’s Land Army were deployed in the hospital grounds, growing potatoes, cabbages and leeks, to

At the outbreak of war, the newly finished hospital was a shell, without beds or equipment supply the kitchen, when stocks of food were depleted by rationing.

Airports at Ford, THorney Island, Tangmere and Goodwood brought air crew casualties to the hospital.

Luftwaffe pilots, prisoners of war, Ukrainian conscripts, American and Canadian soldiers and civilians injured during the bombing of Southampton and Portsmouth were all treated at the hospital. Americans with Trench Foot, a type of gangrene caused by wearing boots for several days in snow and ice, were admitted in 1942.

Casualties from Europe, arriving at Littlehampton, were transported on stretchers slung from the roofs and on the floors of old Southdown coaches with the seats taken out.

It is hard to imagine the scene in the hospital corridor when the stretchers were lined up, head to head, carrying soldiers of so many nationalities, some in soaking wet uniforms, some still carrying rifles.

Mr Martin and Dr Clarke, working day and night, would walk along the row of stretchers, deciding which of the injured soldiers had to be operated on immediately, and which could be transferred to hospitals further in land.

Mr Arthur Ord, orthopaedic surgeon, after operating all night in Portsmouth, would jump into his MG sports car and set out for St Richard’s to help out with treating patients with fractures.

THe hospital reported to Central Office

of the Air Crew Casualty Department of the RAF, commanded by Air Vice Marshall Geoffrey Keynes, consultant at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London.

He would also travel to St Richard’s to advise on the treatment of airman with complex injuries.

When operating on a very badly wounded RAF pilot at St Richard’s, he realised that there was no penicillin in the hospital. As a result, St Richard’s became one of the first hospitals to receive it, long before it was in general use.

Dr John ‘Paddy’ Whiteside was recruited in 1946, as a consultant physician, after he left the armed forces.

THe workload decreased after peace was restored.

THere were no longer air crew or air raid casualties, but the RAF and Army were present in and around Chichester and there were still patients from the local population. THe 18-inch-thick blast walls, built to protect the windows of the hospital at the outbreak of the war, could be demolished.

St Richard’s joined with the Royal West Sussex Hospital as equal partners. As the decade drew to a close, the NHS came into being on the July 5, 1948.

Hospitals were funded by central government rather than county council.

Food and equipment were still in short supply, but medical and nurse staffing at last began to improve.

St Richard’s Hospital staff recently celebrated ten years as a member of the Western Sussex NHS Hospitals Trust and the measured improvements over this time to an already ‘outstanding’ service.

THeir success was first established by the founding members of staff undertaking heroic work in the hospital’s first ten years.

Chi City boss calls on team to learn from mistakes at new level CHICHESTER City boss Miles Rutherford is calling on his side to learn from their mistakes as they adapt to life at Step Four.

THe newly-promoted Oaklands Park side had a topsy-turvy start to life in the Isthmian South East.

Chi and their supporters were jubilant after a 250 mile round trip to Ramsgate for opening day last weekend when they picked up all three points.

But they very quickly learned how hard life will be at the new level when they were cruelly denied a point at home to Whyteleafe in midweek, as the visitors scored late on to win 3-2.

Chi's attention now turns to the FA Cup and a trip to Southern Counties East Division One side Bridon Ropes tomorrow (3pm).

Victory in the preliminary round is worth ÂŁ2,890 to the club before Chi return to league action on Monday with a Sussex derby at Burgess Hill Town (3pm).

Speaking after the loss to Whyteleafe, he said: "Rutherford said: “THe FA Cup is a big opportunity for the players to put this defeat behind them. It’s a massive game for the club so we need to be prepared."

THings couldn’t have begun any better for the home side against Whyteleafe in midweek when they went ahead early on after Ricardo THompson diverted a Rob Hutchings’ cross past his own keeper.

THe visitors bagged an equaliser 20 minutes. But it was the hosts who regained the lead five minutes before half time as Scott Jones got a glancing header on a ball whipped in by captain Connor Cody.

Into the second half and the visitors drew level again before spurning a golden chance to take the lead when they missed a penalty.

Chi thought they would escape with a point until Ben Pashley diverted a cross into his own goal with two minutes to go.

Rutherford said: “We got what we asked out of the boys in the way of effort and commitment, I couldn’t fault them for that.

"We worked hard but came up against a very fit and physical opponent. “I’ve told the lads, though, we have to learn from the match, we must have given away about 20 free kicks in dangerous areas and all three of their goals came from set pieces.

"We’re still learning at this level but it’s those finer details that make all the difference the higher you go."

Two games into the Isthmian League South East Division season Chi have proved they’ll be able to hold their own at the level and Rutherford is satisfied with the start.

For the handful of fans that made the long trip to the Kent coast last weekend there was plenty to be pleased with.

Two Matt Axell goals - the second a late penalty - secured victory against a side who finished in mid-table last term.

Rutherford said: “I think if someone had said after two games we’d have three points I’d have taken it.

"Would we have liked to have had four having come so close to getting a draw on Tuesday? Yes, but that’s football."

Defeat for Chi on Blakely bow CHICHESTER City Ladies boss Sadie Blakely knows she has plenty to do to get their season off the ground as the side look to bounce back from a disappointing opening day defeat.

A young Chi side took to the field for Blakely's bow as City manager but were unable to prevent a 3-0 loss to MK Dons in the National Premier South.

Despite the defeat the new manager was full of praise for the endeavour shown by her side, who should have scored at least once in a positive second half showing.

City will look to make improvements when they host Cambridge City in the cup on Sunday at Oaklands Park (2pm).

THey fell behind early to MK Dons, with the visitors taking the lead with 20 minutes on the clock.

Chi’s heads dropped and were second to the ball at times, leaving the defence with a lot of work to do, only having opportunities on the counter attack with Tash Wild causing problems with her pace up front.

It was MK Dons who scored again before the break when a mistake at the back saw Poppy Shine give the ball to the visitors' winger who smashed it into the open goal.

Blakely made a change at half time which saw Lucy Cook replace Rachel Jarvis on the wing.

Cook got straight into the game and it was her ball into Amy Martins which saw the City striker fouled and awarded a penalty.

Megan Fox put the ball down but the Dons

keeper was equal to it.

Chi continued to get back into the game and had a few more opportunities before MK Dons made it 3-0 with a sweeping move with 20 minutes to go. Chi's young squad continued to try and probe to get a consolation effort but it was to no avail.

f Chi repel a MK Dons attack

PAGHAM boss Bob Paine will be looking for his young side to push on after chalking up their first win of the SCFL Premier season in midweek.

An inexperienced Lions side have started the season off slowly with three successive defeats which had left the side bottom.

But the improvement shown by the side in recent games was rewarded in midweek when Pagham defeated Hassocks 1-0 at Nyetimber Lane.

Lewis Jenkins bagged a second half goal against the Robins which earned Lions their first points of the season.

Paine will be delighted with the result which came after a 2-0 away loss to newlypromoted Steyning Town last weekend when two defensive mistakes proved Pagham's downfall.

THe manager, who took up the reins at Nyetimber Lane a few weeks before the start of the season, has made clear it is in front of goal where he wants to see his side improve.

THat cause has been helped with the arrival of striker Dan O'Brien after he was granted international clearance from the United States.

After an early exit in the

FA Cup, Pagham will have to wait until Monday to return to action when they head north across the border to play newly-promoted Alfold (3pm).

In SCFL Division One, Selsey will be looking to keep up their unbeaten start to the league campaign when they face a bank holiday double header.

First up for the Blues is a home match against Billingshurst tomorrow (3pm) before a short trip to Wick on Monday (3pm).

Selsey will be looking to improve on last weekend when they drew 2-2 with Storrington.

A Tom Atkinson header and Callum Dowdell scoring direct from the corner had twice put Daren Pearce's side in front, only for the visitors to equalise with ten minutes left.

Fellow Division One side Sidlesham - who lost 2-0 at Shoreham last weekend - will be looking to gain their first win of the season at home to Storrington tomorrow (3pm) before heading to Arundel on Monday (3pm).

In Division Two, Bosham - who lost 3-0 to St Francis Rangers last time out - head to Montpelier Villa tomorrow (3pm) before a short trip to Ferring on Monday (3pm).

Sportinbrief î ?

Rugby BOGNOR RFC's preparations for the new Hampshire Premier season stepped up a gear last night when they took on Crawley in a pre-season friendly.

THe Purple and Greens had an excellent season on the pitch last season, with the first XV finishing third in the standings while a number of academy players made their senior bows.

THe pressure will be on for the club to build on that in 2019/20.

A second pre-season match at Burgess Hill will follow next weekend (August 31, 2.30pm) before the season gets underway in September.

It will be a special year

at Hampshire Avenue with Bognor marking 25 years since the clubhouse opened.

To mark the occasion, the club are looking to welcome as many of the 1994/5 squad to a lunch on the opening home match of the season on September 14.

Young players are also being invited to get involved with the club.

Next week, Bognor will host a Harlequins training camp for anyone aged six to 14.

It will take place on August 29 and August 30 from 9.30 am and last all day.

Spaces for this training session with top level coaches cost ÂŁ85 and are still available via the club website.

Darts

THE Newtown Amity trio of Alex Norgett, Ricky Clark and Lee Hellyer hit cloud nine after lifting the Bognor Summer Darts League Divisional Trebles Division One knockout crown.

THey beat Gary Blackwood, Dave Juniper and Stuart Gray (Legends) in a deciding leg to emerge victors from a very competitive final.

THe match started with Legends on the front foot. Blackwood hit 60 and a 140 before finishing the leg with hit double 16 for a 20 dart leg.

Leg 2 saw Newtown hit back, Clark throwing the double before Legends retook the lead in leg three.

Amity were not to be beaten though, with Clark once again showing calmness under pressure to take it to a decider.

Blackwood started the final leg with 123, but Clark & Hellyer both hit tons and soon both teams were on the double.

It was Clark who once again stepped up to seal the title for the Newtown Amity.

In Division Two, Ashley Clements, Ian Dendy & Dave Coupland (Royal Oak) met Buster Barton, Ian Hackett & Derrick Longhurst (Lamb Nomads) in the final.

After taking two legs apiece, the match went to a decider. It started with a 121 from Coupland, but an 85 from Hackett, and 81 and 92 from Barton saw Nomads take the lead. With double 5 left, Longhurst stepped up to win the match and the Division 2 Trebles Champions title for the Lamb Nomads.

In Division 3, the Cabin trio of Gary English, Gary Gardiner and Fred Hoare took on Steve Perry, Neil Conn and Richard Hudson (Lamb) in the final.

In the opening leg, a 180 from Perry saw the Lamb trio get the early lead. But Cabin hit back to take the leg.

THe second leg saw tons from English, Gardiner and Conn, before Gardiner hit double 17 for the second leg.

THe third leg was close but Gardiner again took the plaudits, hitting double 9, to take the leg and the Division 3 Trebles Champions title for the Cabin.

Juliet leads TZ home at Goodwood A COHORT of Bognor Tone Zone runners were among more than 100 runners to tackle a five mile trek around the famous Goodwood estate.

THe hill climb event took competitors past Goodwood House and up the South Downs before descending back down the hill towards the finish line.

Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t perfect due to wind and rain, but that didn’t deter the 16 club runners who took on the course.

Juliet Stallard was the first lady to finish and first from the club finishing in a time of 33 minutes 18 seconds (33:18), closely followed

by Jess THomson who was third lady in a time of 33:36.

With the ladies from the club putting in lots of strong performances, Allen Porter was the first man to finish in a time of 35:49.

Carolyn Stapley finished just behind Porter in a time of 36:08 while Donna Strowger grabbed a personal best of 37:29.

Natalie Tribe snuck under the 40 minute barrier in a time of 39:33. Peter Ramsdale finished in 40:39.

Karen Vilday grabbed the second PB of the night in a time of 41:02 with Jackie Williamson

and Kirstee Porter just behind in 41:29 and 41:35.

Stephen Goddard, Debbie Patching, Lisa Wadey, Zoe Hemes and Debi Haddleton all finished under 50 minutes. Lea Hodgkins rounded off the night with a time of 51:18.

Across the sea, in the Isle of Wight, Sam Lee, Elle Matthews and Lesley Ward took part in the island's annual Half Marathon.

Sam was the first to finish out of the three in 2:17. Mother and daughter duo Elle and Lesley finished in 2:21 and 2:22.

THe conditions they faced were a bit brighter than those faced by a quartet of hardened runners.

On Saturday night, at 9pm, four people representing Tone Zone took on the Midnight Marathon at the Queen Elizabeth Country Park in London.

Tony Holcombe was first to finish from the club while Judith Bazeley, Christine Rounds and Martin Playford all finished together in just over six hours.

Martin had a nasty fall early on but was helped through by his team mates who helped patch him up and get him to the next aid station before soldering on to the end.

Promotion is still on the cards for Bognor

f Middleton opener Harry Hovey

Middleton face leaders Roffey MIDDLETON CC's quest for a top three finish in the Sussex Premier Division will see them face the ultimate test when they welcome champions-elect Roffey to Sea Lane tomorrow (11.30am).

With two games of the season to go, Sean Heather's side are just nine points behind East Grinstead in third.

To break into the top three they will need to take points off a jubilant Roffey side who are unbeaten all season and last week wrapped up the 2019 title.

A positive result for Heather's side will no doubt be reliant on the batting form of the skipper and overseas player Mahesh Rawat.

THe pair have been in imperious form all season, sitting second and first respectively in the division batting averages.

Rawat, who is averaging more than 150 with the bat, needs only 80 runs from the last two matches to score 1,000 runs for the season - a remarkable feat for a batter who comes in at five in the lineup.

Both Heather and Rawat led the

way with the bat once again last weekend as Middleton played out an entertaining tie against a rejuvenated Cuckfield side.

After being put into bat by the home side, Middleton's opening pair of Heather and Harry Hovey (29) put on 66 for the opening wicket.

THe skipper continued his fine form, eventually ending with 89 while Rawat hit an unbeaten 69 from just 50 balls to guide Middleton to a competitive score of 266 for six off their 50 overs.

In reply, Cuckfield got off to an excellent start as the visiting seamers could not break a century second-wicket stand

by Joe Ludlow (61) and Joe Cambridge (78).

At 155-1, Middleton looked well and truly beaten. But they rallied with Matthew Reynolds (3-39) and Heather (3-75) pegging back the middle order.

It came down to a nail-biting final over with Cuckfield batter Marcus Campopiano (51) run out off the final ball with the scores level and ensuring both sides took 15 points from the game.

A FAMILIAR foe stands in the way of Bognor Regis CC's promotion push - with local rivals Chichester Priory Park in prime position to deny their neighbours a top two finish when they visit THe Regis Oval tomorrow (12.30pm).

Ryan Maskell's side currently sit two points clear in second position of the Sussex Division Two table with just a couple of games to go.

Win both remaining matches and Bognor will return to the top tier of the county cricket pyramid.

But standing in their way will be a Chi side who, despite their inconsistency this season, would love nothing more than spoiling the possible celebrations at THe Regis Oval.

Bognor's promotion hopes received an unexpected boost at the weekend when third-place Haywards Heath were beaten by relegation-threatened Goring.

It means Maskell's side remain second despite their own match against Billingshurst being cancelled. THey are just a couple of points ahead of Heath and 11 clear of St James's Montefiore in fourth.

Chi, meanwhile, are sixth in the ten-team division and still, if results go against them, could face being pulled into relegation

trouble.

Matthew Geffen's side spurned a good opportunity to secure their Division Two status last weekend when they came up short in a run chase at St James's.

After winning the toss, Chi made the most of the overhead conditions with Geffen (5-23) taking two early wickets.

THe home side rebuilt through a 95 run third wicket stand from Toby Pullan (69) and Ollie Bradley (34). But Chi hit back to eventually dismiss the home side for 199.

In reply, though, Priory failed to get going, quickly being reduced to 10-3.

Opener Matthew Bennison (27) showed some fight. But he received little support and Chi were skittled out 105 in less than 37 overs.

In Division THree West, Pagham's promotion hopes are all but over after a 32-run loss to Ansty at Nyetimber Lane last weekend.

Rico Webb (4-53) starred with the ball as the visitors scored a total of 199-9 in their 45 overs. But despite Jack Stannard (50) and Ryan Barratt (44) making contributions, Pagham came up short.

Tomorrow sees them head to secondbottom Findon (12.30pm).

Bognor ready for derby day at the Rebels

on nor

sty defeat

f Muitt scored in the Wingate win | pics: T McMillan

NEXT GAME

ROCKS first team coach Robbie Blake has warned his side that the form book will go out the window as Bognor make the short trip to Worthing for El Classicoast.

THe mood at the Nye Camp has been lifted before the Bank Holiday Monday derby at Woodside Road (3pm) thanks to a 5-0 dismantling of Wingate & Finchley last time out.

A brace from Dan Smith, a Tommy Leigh free kick, a Tyrell Mitford strike and fine Jimmy Muitt finish sealed the rout for the Rocks as they netted a quintet of goals in just 37 second half minutes.

With Worthing losing 6-0 at home to AFC Hornchurch, the near neighbours head into the match in a very different mindset.

But Blake warned that he expects those results to be put to one side for the eagerlyanticipated derby.

Speaking to Rocks Radio, he said: "In a derby games form goes out of the window and I'm pretty sure their manager will have them up for the game. It will be completely different to a 6-0.

"Since I have been here, we have had some joy [against Worthing] and let's hope that continues.

"We know it will be a hard game.

We have to make sure we stick to the basics as we are a good side.

"We try and promote attacking

football to give fans something to enjoy. Even when we're getting beat or drawing we really appreciate the supporters and are really proud of them and all the support we get."

THe derby at Worthing is set to draw in a big crowd, with close to 2,000 attending the same game last season.

Second half strikes from Dan Smith and Mason Walsh sealed a 2-0 win for Rocks in that match.

THat was followed by a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture.

With former Bognor players including Ollie Pearce and Alex Parsons in the Rebels line up it will prove to be a feisty encounter.

Blake though wants to make sure the Rocks still to their strengths - believing that if they can keep things tight at the back, they can get goals to win.

Speaking after the Wingate win, he said: "We are three games in now and there has to be learning curves about how we play the game. We can't play the game like we did in the first half against Horsham "I'm always happy with our team when it's 0-0 at half time as I always feel that the way we play football, the way we take control of games in the second half when players get tired, then I'm confident we can go on and win the game."

Worthing (A) Monday August 26 at 3pm

Green gone; Mitford steps up HE was brought back to the club with the intention of solving the Rocks lack of goals from midfield.

But Stuart Green's return to the Nye Camp has been cut short after the former AFC Totton hotshot revealed he was unable to commit to the club for family reasons.

THe hard-working goalscoring midfielder, who played just two league games for the Rocks this season, announced his departure on the eve of the trip to Wingate & Finchley last weekend.

His place on the left hand side of the forward line for that 5-0 away win was taken

With on-loan Portsmouth striker Bradley Lethbridge also likely to come back into contention soon, Rocks look well set with attacking options.

But that did not mean that those involved with the club were not disappointed with the departure of the well-liked Green.

Bognor general manager Simon Cook said: "It's a real shame but, of course, we fully understand and accept Stuart's decision. It goes without saying that we thank him for his time with us and we wish him all the best for the future."

Green's replacement in the starting line up has already made a real impact with the Rocks faithful.

After netting after coming off the bench at home to Horsham, he scored again in the win at Wingate.

Speaking to Rocks Radio after the match, the former Winchester City striker said: "I just try to do what I have been brought in to do, which is to score as many goals as I can for the team and get some good results.

"It was important to get off to a good start, not just for me but to get the trust from the other players. If they can see that I can

actually play, which I think I can, it gives them trust in me on the pitch."

He added: "We were very, very good. I'm not going to say that 5-0 flatters them but we had so many more chances and if we were a bit more ruthless it could have been more. It just goes to show what we can do if we play at our best."

WELL, I'm not sure many of us - even us players - saw that result coming!

A 5-0 away win is always something to treasure. But when you consider we were missing Craney and Joe Dandy had been out after being ill all week it was a great result.

Wingate have also had some good results at home, such as a draw against Kingstonian when they were down to ten for much of the game.

But it turned out well for us, I think because they were poor and we were really good I think the main difference from the first few games is that we took our chances THe first half we didn't take them but once we got the first through Tommy Leigh then we settled down a bit.

Dan Smith was top class and I think he was man of the match. But at the other end Keaton was great snuffing out any of their chances and then starting another attack for us.

THe key message in the dressing room is for us to relax.

And I think it makes a hell of a difference going one up rather than one down.

After Tommy got that first we knew we would create one or two more but it was just a case of taking them.

We didn't manage that against Horsham when we could have had three or four but we just didn't take them.

THose are the fine margins that matter and make the difference between wining 5-0 away and drawing 1-1 at home.

We've also seen the forward line shaken up a bit as Stu left the club and Tyrell come in.

THey are two very different players who offer different aspects to the team - Stu does a lot of work off the ball and Tyrell is very direct.

It's sad to see Stu leave. He's a great bloke but he needs to put his family first at the moment and I have great respect for

him for doing that.

As for Tyrell, he came to a couple of training sessions with us and I thought straight away that he was a good player.

After one session he was in the squad, scored a good goal against Horsham and then scored again at Wingate. It's great to have him on board.

We also had a blow this week with the news that Chad has to have an operation so will be out for a while.

We have done well to get Ben Clark-Eden in who has done well but perhaps we're missing some experience at centre half.

It's up to Jack and Blakey to see if they want to bring someone in. But we can't really moan when we have just won 5-0 away.

Next we have Worthing on Monday. It's always difficult with derby games but we tend to have a good record in them.

THe pressure will be on them to get a good result because of last year when we won.

But I think if we played like we did on Saturday, if we defend like we did on Saturday, then we should be alright It will also be a chance to see some familiar faces like Alex Parsons and Ollie Pearce.

Sadly, Buddy will not be playing after getting a nasty injury last week. When I heard I texted him and he did say he would be about and catch up over a beer after the match.

It's difficult when you know players so well. THey are good mates but nothing changes as you still want to win.

THe only thing is that if I kick Alex - who's one of the nicest blokes in football - I may actually apologise to him!

Before then, we have a rare Saturday off which is nice as it is my birthday.

THe plan is just to chill out.

I may watch the Moneyfields game and then perhaps a game of golf before focussing on the derby on Monday.
