Petition to move lights back

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A WEST SUSSEX county councillor is campaigning hard to keep traffic flowing in Chichester with new plans for an online petition.

THe pedestrian crossing at Market Avenue and St Pancras was moved when planning permission was granted for a convenience store in Unicorn House.

However, Sainsbury's pulled out of the move and it opened as restaurant,

Giggling Squid.

It is argued the crossing, moved when planning permission was granted for the convenience store, is no longer required after Sainsbury’s withdrew.

West Sussex County Council Highways had originally agreed to put the lights back after the THai restaurant took over the premises.

Market Avenue is the busiest traffic lights pedestrian crossings in the whole of West Sussex.

Every 30 seconds out of a minute, the

lights are red. Since the re-sighting of the lights, motorists are unable to turn into St Pancras Road or go straight across to East Street.

At a meeting of Chichester City Council on Wednesday evening, Cllr Jamie Fitzjohn, county councillor for Chichester South, told councillors that 'we need to keep THe Hornet moving'.

He said: "THe lights that were put in place were put in the wrong place and they were put too close to Market Road lights.

"By putting them so close they have to synchronise with them so when the Market Road lights are red, THe Hornet lights are red.

"If they had moved them five metres to the east, they would not have had to be synchronised.

"I've investigated because the existing ports where it was are still underneath there but they have to do a feasibility study and they estimate the study to cost £30, 000 which I am challenging."

THE district council has confirmed last year's city ice rink cost the council almost £7,000 dealing with complaints.

THe information was announced as part of a report requested by members of the overview and scrutiny committee.

Last year, plans to hold an ice rink in Priory Park went through lengthy council meetings including planning and licensing and former Chichester Mayor, Cllr Martyn Bell, also called for an extraordinary meeting of the city council to take another look at the idea.

Conditions attached to the approval of the plans included a scheme for making good the ground and reinstatement of the grass and a scheme to deal with ice water melting from the decommissioning of the ice rink.

THe ice rink was given the go ahead and operators, S3K Limited, opened up the rink just ten days later.

District council members of the overview and scrutiny committee requested more information back in March regarding the reinstatement of the grass and a breakdown of costs that the council incurred as a result of the ice rink.

In the meeting, held on Tuesday morning, the council confirmed that £6,992.70 was the cost for dealing with complaints.

Speaking exclusively to The Chichester Post, back in January, S3K Limited said they were subject to what they describe as a barrage of abuse and harassment.

Mr Edward White, of S3K, described some of the calls on their 24 hour helpline as being used to harass them, through the night, including at 2am and 4am.

“We were getting a barrage through the night with aggressive and threatening

language being used. All of us have got young children and families and it became almost breaking point for us and there was no justification behind it.

THese people have been utterly unkind in their approach and deeply unpleasant throughout,” he said.

“THey threatened to break into the ice rink, to disconnect the plant. It has been a huge battle, especially when we were fully compliant with all the regulations.”

Due to weather conditions, the seed did not take well for the reinstatement of the grass and Chichester Contract Services carried out additional works.

THis cost £190 and therefore the remaining £810 from the hire of land

By Kelly Wick deposit was returned to S3K Limited.

Officer time and costs for the hire ofkelly.wickha land element of the project equated to £669.79 but the council did receiveRESIDENTS a payment of £462 for planningwere taken b permission, £116 for discharge of thea recent barb planning conditions and £3,100 for the Hit tunes Wellington alcohol and entertainment licence.

Members were also told of the benefitsmembers an of the ice rink, which saw an extra 5,000delights such people use the car parks in December, Staff got in which brought in £25,000 more than thedressing in c to the music previous year.

Officers also stated that discussions Resident L with the contractor S3K Ltd had ‘fallen quiet’ and were unsure if there were plans for it to return this year.

Committee chairman Cllr Adrian Moss said: “THese sort of events do need to be encouraged in the district because it does bring footfall, it does bring people into the city and we should be encouraging that sort of activity.

“THe decision we need to make as a council and the people of Chichester is, is Priory Park the right location?"

THe Chichester Post contacted SK3 Ltd for a comment but at the time of going to print had not received a reply.

Three Chichester men on trial for alleged rape in Bognor Regis THREE men from Chichester have gone on trial accused of raping a teenage woman in Bognor Regis.

Romanian farm workers MadalinDaniel Nitu, 23, Genghiz Iasear, 27, and Ionel-Mizel Ciocan, 25, all based at Groves Farm in Colworth, Chichester, are accused of raping the teenager in the early hours of March 9. THey deny the charges.

THeir trial is continuing at Portsmouth Crown Court. THe court was told the woman, aged 19, went with a group of friends to Sheiks nightclub on Bognor Regis Pier after she had been drinking with them at her home.

It was stated she met Ciocan in the club and kissed and danced with him.

She was described in court as being unsteady on her feet when she left the club and became separated from her friends.

It was then she was allegedly raped in an alleyway by Ciocan and Iasear.

THe next thing was she was able to remember was being on the beach and someone lying on top of her, the court was told. THe defendants were accused of committing a series of rapes there.

Residents step back in time for barbecue

County councillor sets up a petition From page one

f Visitors enjoyed going back to their youth

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk RESIDENTS of a Chichester care home were taken back to the 50s and 60s during a recent barbecue.

Hit tunes from the era played as Wellington Grange residents, family members and friends feasted on sizzling delights such as ribs and lamb burgers.

Staff got into the swing of the event by dressing in colourful outfits and dancing to the music.

Resident Lorna Cook, 96, said she had

really enjoyed hearing the tunes of her youth.

She said: “I liked listening to the music. I was married in 1945 and my late husband was in the navy.

“I had three boys and this was the music that would have been playing when they were growing-up."

Kay Vevers, companionship team leader, explained this was one of several events planned the year.

“Everyone gets involved and during arts and crafts sessions, residents helped to make decorations for the garden in

preparation.

“We had Jennifer from THrough the Years singing and Town Crier Jane Smith came along too,” she said.

Jane added: "It was a lovely visit - the weather was beautiful and it was so lovely to see folks enjoying the gardens too.

Good food and great live music."

Wellington Grange in Broyle Road also celebrated the opening of its third floor with an afternoon tea with the deputy mayor, Cllr John Hughes, yesterday.

Councillors make plans for green city - See page four

"I have challenged this a lot and came to blows with the cabinet member for highways and transport, Roger Elkins.

"In my original proposal, before this was done, as it was part of the planning permission for Sainsbury's, however that planning condition has now lapsed.

"THere is no legal requirement to keep those lights there. THey can move because it is now a restaurant which does not need a crossing in front of it.

"THe best solution, and everyone agrees with this, including West Sussex engineers, and the proposal I have put forward is to take the lights away and replace it with a zebra crossing.

"If you replace it with a zebra crossing, you keep traffic flowing because you will only have to stop when a pedestrian wants to cross.

"THat means you can have permanently a right turn to St Pancras which keeps the traffic flowing that way.

"You can also go across the junction into East Street which helps because 30 seconds of every minute those

lights are red which means you will have a nice, clear, easy crossing into East Street."

Cllr Fitzjohn also explained that a lot of research had been done and he said that by working with residents in that area, was now setting up an online petition.

He explained that all the businesses in that area were on board with it and they were ready to sign, as were residents.

He continued: "I want as many residents, users, drivers to sign this.

"I will stand at those lights and tap the windows of those in their cars. One to tell them to turn off their engines to stop idling but also to hand them the website address.

"We need to get the Hornet moving, because if we keep that traffic there it is damaging businesses, damaging the economy, increasing pollution and damaging the lives of people who live in that area.

"THey are in the wrong place and should be moved, it was an error and if you make a mistake, you put it right."

Details of the online petition will be published in THe Chichester Post as soon as they are available.

` New homes CHIDHAM and Hambrook have been informed by Chichester District Council that it is being called on to possibly take 500 new build houses between 2020 and 2035.

When first told of this, parish council chairman Philip MacDougall was completely devastated.

He said: "We only have around 1,000 houses at the moment, a 50 per cent increase is verging on the ridiculous.

"Hopefully, our three district councillors can help lead the fight back. But, in the meantime, we have called a public meeting to keep everyone informed and help our councillors in the fight back."

Cllr MacDougall, who has chaired Chidham and Hambrook since early last year, believes Chidham, lying in an area of massive environmental importance, as does much of the area governed by Chichester District Council, needed to be viewed as an area of special significance.

He believed that hopefully a united community, working together and bringing influence to bear wherever possible, would be able to reverse the threat hanging over the village.

THe meeting is on Monday, September, 30 at Chidham Village Hall (on the corner of Chidham Lane/A259) at 7.30pm.

Cllr MacDougall hoped that as many people as possible will get to the meeting in the hope of achieving a breakthrough.

Licence for carfree day revoked

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk PLANS to hold a car-free day in the city could be scrapped after Chichester District Council revoked the licence.

Approval was previously given to close South Street in Chichester this month as part of a community event.

Car(e) Free Day Chichester organisers were granted permission by Chichester District Council for their community event on Sunday, September 22.

THe street closure order was for South Street from its junction with THeatre Lane to the Market Cross between 12.30pm and 3.30pm.

Chichester Car Free Day campaigners said they were planning a small-scale three-hour event in Chichester known as a ‘playing out order’ for South Street so that people, especially children, can enjoy a mini street festival on International Car Free Day. At a city council meeting on Wednesday, Cllr Sarah Sharp said: “It is going to be decided by Chichester District Council today (Wednesday) whether to revoke the permission to close South Street due to the number of residents and people who have threatened to drive their cars down the street.”

On THursday morning, a spokesperson for Chichester District Council said: "Unfortunately, we have had to make the difficult decision to revoke the road closure for the Chichester Car Free Day event on South Street, which was due to take place on September 22.

Start your journey to a beautiful lawn

"THe event was linked to a national initiative that aims to give children the chance to play on the streets and spaces where they live.

"We would like to apologise to the event organisers, but public safety is paramount.

Sussex Police and other partners have raised concerns about a number of public safety issues that have come to light in recent days, which relate to comments and threats made about the event.

"We understand that the event organisers are very disappointed and we have stressed that we would like to work closely with them on any future events they may wish to plan."

THe deputy mayor, Cllr John Hughes, said at the city council meeting: “I notice on Facebook the city council has been dragged through the mire for no reason at all. People seem to think it’s the city council who are running this which we are not.”

According to organiser, three shops in South Street were strongly against the closure of the road, including Present Surprise, Chesca and Analogue October.

However, they also said that Sweaty Betty, Whirligig and Wahaca were all strongly in favour.

City's Citizens Advice team celebrates 80 years' service EIGHT decades of free advice to communities has been celebrated by Citizens Advice.

THe service was launched on September 4, 1939 - the day after the Second World War broke out. THe first bureaux were in the large cities and the service has evolved to include the three centres and 10 outreaches of Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice.

It has more than 120 volunteers freely giving 720-plus hours of help a week to support more than 13,000 requests for advice yearly.

It is estimated the advice offered supports almost one in ten of the districts' population when the positive impact on the service users' families

and others who are affected is taken into account.

Luca Badioli, the chief officer of Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice, said: "Our advice changes lives because we are constantly adapting to the challenges people face, from broadband bills to universal credit.

"Whatever the problem, our amazing staff and volunteers do all they can to help people find their way forward.

We are here for everyone and we will continue to help to make things better."

A home visiting service in Arun and Chichester is funded by a private individual's generosity and has generated £5.9m of benefit entitlements in the past five years.

New site for regeneration but conflicts arise with new council

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

COUNCILLORS expressed conflicting ideas over the Southern Gateway plans this week.

Southern Gateway is a project to transform the southern entrance to the city and develop 30 acres of largely brownfield land.

It has been led by the Chichester District Council and been described as the largest regeneration project in the city for a generation.

Despite plans being agreed by councillors at a full council meeting, at a meeting of the overview and scrutiny committee on Tuesday, some members said it should be looked at again after a new council had been elected in May. Cllr Clare Apel said the plans should be looked at again now there was a new council in place. She suggested setting up a task and finishing group.

During public question time, Brian Raincock said: "THe development brief references a ‘masterplan for the area that was adopted in November, 2017, as a supplementary planning document.

"Does the overview and scrutiny committee believe this masterplan is appropriate in September, 2019, and if so, what economic benefits will it bring to Chichester?

"What efforts have been made by the overview and scrutiny committee to challenge this masterplan because if implemented the opportunity will be lost to

modernise the railway station, find a longterm solution for the railway crossings and position Chichester as a ‘go to’ location on the south coast for a new creative industry, business, education and leisure?

"Finally, does the overview and scrutiny committee truly believe the masterplan will be the catalyst for positive change across the district and in particular central Chichester?"

Chairman Adrian Moss responded: "Yes, the masterplan remains relevant today and remains the adopted statutory planning document. It is a sufficiently flexible document that allows a variety of solutions to be proposed for consideration and implementation.

"THe potential benefits are significant and are fully described in the project initiation document approved by council previously but includes an estimated 365 homes, 1,400 new jobs, improved nighttime economy, business space and public realm.

"All members of council were engaged in the production of the masterplan and the development brief and will continue to be so in order to ensure that its delivery delivers the change it is designed to."

THe project has also just reached another important milestone after securing an important relocation site.

THis will free up a critical piece of land needed to transform the southern area of Chichester into a vibrant and attractive new quarter, as proposed in the Southern Gateway Masterplan.

THe Southern Gateway area includes

several parcels of land, including the bus station and depot, Basin Road car park, law courts, the former Chichester Police Station playing field, former high school buildings and Royal Mail depot buildings.

THe relocation site comprises of units 15 and 16 in Terminus Road, Chichester, currently occupied by Parkers of Chichester. THe business will remain at this site until at least May, 2020, while negotiations with potential future occupiers continue.

"We are very pleased to have secured this new site. In doing so, we have reached yet

f The hall at Westhampnett and smashed window inset

Westhampnett community hall is vandalised before it's even open A COMMUNITY hall has been vandalised just one week after it was handed over to the parish council by the contractors.

Westhampnett Community Hall held a special topping out ceremony in April this year to celebrate the building of the new hall in Stane Street which parish councillors said they hoped would be open in December.

THe community hall is located to the south side of the village green in Stane Street and together the parish council said it hoped they would provide opportunities for local people that have not been possible previously.

THe community woke on Monday morning to find a large glass panel had been smashed.

Parish councillor Howard Horne said: "It’s a sad comment on society today that the

new community hall at Westhampnett was vandalised even before it was opened.

"THe hall, been built by Reilly Construction Ltd, a local firm, had just been handed over to the parish council the previous week.

"Residents woke on Monday to find that one of the large widows in the north face of the light and airy hall had been smashed by an apparent stone throwing."

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

For information on hiring the hall please email: howard@howardhorne.co.uk

another important stage of the project,” said Cllr Martyn Bell, cabinet member for growth, place, and regeneration.

"In May, we started the search for a suitable developer to deliver this project for the benefit of the community. We hope to announce who has been appointed in November, 2019."

THe entire project is predicted to create more than 1,400 jobs and protect at least 200 existing jobs.

The history and future of chapel

Don't miss out!

f Fire practice at Graylingwell

WIN TICKE TS! WNS

TWO unique opportunities to see and hear both the history and the future of Graylingwell Hospital and chapel will take place this month.

Chichester’s Graylingwell Park is steeped in a rich heritage, with over a century of pioneering mental health work conducted at the Graylingwell Hospital, originally named the West Sussex County Asylum.

THere will be two unique opportunities this September to see the history brought to life in images how the chapel that supported the hospital through its years of both mental health work and as a convalescence centre through both world wars will be transformed to a new style of community building.

Katherine Slay, of the West Sussex Records Office, will deliver a talk on the history of Graylingwell, bringing each aspect of the buildings and their residents to life through a series of photographs.

Images held by the record office will transport those attending to scenes throughout the last century, helping to understand life as it was since the turn of the 20th century.

An open day at Graylingwell Chapel will give all those interested in both its

THe Graylingwell chapel will be transformed over the next two years into a community building and café that will incorporate an exhibition of the pioneering work that was undertaken at Graylingwell Hospital, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Chichester District Council "THese are wonderful opportunities for everybody to step into the history of this beautiful area of the city," said Chichester Community Development Trust director Clare de Bathe.

"THere are so many incredible stories that we hear from those connected with the area’s history and we want to share them – to bring the stories to life.

"Not only will we be sharing histories and informing about future plans, but we would urge all those whose stories remain untold to speak with us and allow their stories to be more widely heard. Nothing is too large or small to share with us – anecdotes or artefacts."

f St Paul's Church

We are excited to announce a whole month of special offers, events, and demonstrations.

This includes hosting a whole calendar of events, from product demonstrations, knit ‘n’ natter groups, to troubleshooting clinics.

Church and centre in the city launch a fundraising appeal A FUNDRAISING appeal is set to be launched next week to raise money for St Paul's Church and Parish Centre.

In recent months, the Parochial Church Council has made significant progress with plans for the redevelopment of the parish centre and the renovation of the church.

THe council has had a successful community consultation and applied for planning consent.

A number of significant grants have been obtained and there has been widespread support from the local community.

It is hoped that work on the parish centre, including the provision of a spacious new kitchen, will begin next year.

THe formal appeal for funds which is being launched is backed up by some major fund-raising events of their own.

THe council will be making a direct appeal to local businesses and is also organising two major events to

support fundraising - a Christmas tree festival at the start of advent, and a heritage week and summer fair next June.

THe Rector, Canon Simon Holland, said: "THe name we have given to our appeal is St Paul’s Renewed and we hope that the renewal of our buildings will be matched by the renewal of our faith and discipleship."

THe total cost of the project is about £1,000,000. THis would include refurbishing the church, extending and refurbishing the parish centre and improving the disabled access into the church. So far, 50 per cent has been raised.

THe appeal is being launched in the church on Wednesday, September 25, at 7.30pm.

During the evening, there will be one or two presentations and Chichester MP Gillian Keegan has promised to attend, together with the Archdeacon of Chichester, and several other leading members of the community.

Gin lovers enjoy celebrations in park

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk GIN LOVERS flocked to Priory Park over the weekend for the chance to enjoy almost 100 different types of the juniper berry drink.

Once known as 'mother's ruin', the drink has recently in popularity with hundreds of small distilleries popping up and experiments with different flavours.

Around 1,400 visitors were treated to a Gin Encyclopedia with gin tasting notes and recommended serves, a free gin glass to take home after, food stalls, trade stands with t-shirts, aprons, bags and more for sale, masterclasses from distillers and industry experts and live music throughout the event.

THere were two sessions held on Saturday - 12pm to 4pm and 5pm to 9pm - and one held on Sunday afternoon between 1pm to 5pm.

Best friends and gin lovers, Carrie Allen, from Chichester, and Maddie Barnsly, from Waterlooville, went to a similar event last year.

Carrie said: "I came to the event last year and this year thought I need to bring my best gin buddy with me this time.

"Gin's done well lately with a lot of marketing and it's taken off as being the drink to drink!

"It is an acquired taste and we are really wine drinkers but we love gin.

Gin is seen as sophisticated and there are lots of different tastes and flavours now. It's really nice here. THey have lots of different tonics and everything is premium which makes a big difference."

Maddie added: "Gin's done well lately with a lot of marketing and it's taken off as being the drink to drink!

"It is an acquired taste and we are really wine drinkers but we love gin.

"We are having a great time. THe sun's out and we can catch up over a few glasses!"

With previous large-scale or alcoholic events in Priory Park being considered a nuisance by some, event manager,Nikki England said she was really touched to receive positive feedback from nearby residents.

She told the Chichester Post: "When we were clearing away on Sunday evening, we had a couple of residents, who I knew were opposed to the licence when we put it in, came over to tell me they were really happy with how everything went and thanked us for being respectful to the neighbours.

"Another resident actually came over and had a look around during the weekend and seemed happy."

With gins on offer from all over the world, including Bertha's Revenge Irish Milk, Brockmans, Curio Wild Coast, Fireside, Gin Eva Citrus, Hedgehog Gin, Keep'rs English Raspberry & Honey and Orkney Rhubarb Old Tom. Nikki said the most popular two gins were Imaginaria Unicorn Dreams - a blend of premium gin and vanillamarshmallow essences and Gin Ting infused with passionfruit, mango & elderflower.

Ali Smith travelled from Gosport with a group of friends.

She said: "I'm a massive lover of gin.

I've been drinking it for the past few years and I like it mixed with lemonade.

"It's a lovely festival - it's really relaxed and there is no judging, everyone is just really friendly.

"It's low-key but great fun and there is

a huge variety of gins on offer. I think my favourite is probably the passionfruit, mango and elderflower one mixed with lemonade or the Parma Violet one. I also love the eco-friendly straws."

THe festival sold metal or bamboo straws for ÂŁ3 each. THey also had silicone ones available fro anybody with a medical condition or allergies.

Nikki added: "We were really lucky with the weather, it's always better when the sun is out.

"One of the hardest parts of the event was choosing the gins beforehand. I did a lot of research into it all and it probably took about six months.

"I wanted to pick gins that were more artisan, different gins that people hadn’t heard of or that are readily available in the supermarkets."

Homeless charity celebrate thirty years with a special party in park

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk HUNDREDS of people visited the Bishop's private gardens at the cathedral on Saturday to celebrate a milestone achievement.

Stonepillow held a community thankyou event to mark their 30th anniversary.

THe charity invited all members of the local community to join them for this free event as a way of saying thank you to everyone in Chichester, Bognor Regis and the surrounding areas who have supported them over the last 30 years.

Hundreds attended in the Bishop’s Palace private garden to enjoy live music from THe Sleepy Lagoon Orchestra, THe Varivocals, Coda Community Choir, and a set from DJ Jamie McGreal.

People enjoyed BBQ food in the sunshine, generously provided by Rapid Relief Team Bognor Regis, and children enjoyed the bouncy castle, games and face-painting on offer.

Katrina Wright, from Chichester, attended with her eight-year-old son, Charlie. She said: "I think Stonepillow is a really good charity to support. It's really sad when you see people who are homeless because most of the time it isn't their fault, they just fell on hard times.

"I think this event is wonderful. Not only are we supporting their fantastic news on reaching 30 years but we can also just have a lovely day listening to the music and enjoying some food."

John Patridge and his wife Betty, from Midhurst, went to the afternoon in the gardens.

Betty said: "What a wonderful thing Stonepillow have done by holding a free

event for us all. It's just brilliant news that they have made it to 30 years.

"With all the cuts you hear in the news from councils to support the homeless, charities like this are vital to have for the district and for Bognor Regis.

"It's been a lovely day, with gorgeous sunshine and plenty to keep everyone entertained."

John added: "Congratulations to all the hard-working staff at Stonepillow on reaching 30 years!"

Following the event, a special Evensong service took place in Chichester Cathedral, where Stonepillow honoured their late founder, the Rev Hilary Parsons, who passed away earlier this year.

Richard Parsons, Hilary’s nephew, attended with his family and gave a reading along with Stonepillow chairman of trustees, Shelagh Legrave.

Chichester's MP, Gillian Keegan, and Stonepillow patron Susan GordonLennox, Duchess of Richmond were also in attendance, as well as past and present staff, trustees, volunteers and supporters.

Mrs Keegan said: "It was a wonderful service to celebrate 30 years since Stonepillow was founded by the Rev Hilary Parsons and pay tribute to the staff and volunteers who do so much to help homeless people in Chichester.

"It was a spiritual and calming service which was just

what was needed to prepare me to face another tough week in Parliament."

Stonepillow chief executive Hilary Bartle said: "Without Hilary Parsons’ vision and determination, there would not be a charity supporting homeless and vulnerable people.

"And we could not continue to run Stonepillow without the fantastic support we receive from the local community and this event was our way of saying thank you."

Over the last 30 years, Stonepillow have expanded their services across West Sussex to support the growing number of people who find themselves on the streets.

THey provide support 365 days a year and have 97 clients in their accommodation on any given evening.

Stonepillow have their annual fundraising event, THe Big Sleep Out, taking place at Chichester Cathedral on Saturday, October 19, and would like to encourage people to get involved to help raise funds and awareness in the local area.

Elizabeth makes return to city

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

A VOLUNTEER charity collector of over 18 years has returned to the streets of Chichester after an absence due to illhealth.

Salvation Army soldier, Elizabeth Ridgeley, aged 86 joined Major Matt Butler, who runs THe Salvation Army in Bognor Regis, along with his wife, Major Sarah Butler, outside Marks and Spencer in East Street on Saturday.

THe charity street collection in Chichester on Saturday saw Elizabeth return to selling the 'War Cry' paper after a spate of ill health.

Major Butler said: "Every week, when we are selling the War Cry, our volunteers are constantly asked about Elizabeth by those that were used to seeing her.

"It was a combination of her health and the poor weather and we have a duty of care. As soon as she felt better and the weather improved she wanted to come back.

"Although Elizabeth won't be back regularly, she is well enough to be included in the church community on Sundays and hopefully will be out with the band carolling at Christmas.

"It was very emotional and Elizabeth definitely enjoyed it. We do this because it's our service to the Salvation Army.

I know Elizabeth missed her regulars and the conversation and people were coming up to her and saying how they missed her and how much she is loved."

Elizabeth had a taxi arrive to pick her up at mid-day and was disappointed when it arrived as she did not want to leave. Major Butler said it was a balance of mental wellbeing and going out and having a role and a purpose.

Elizabeth said: "I really enjoyed the day and being able to be back in my position.

It was exciting and lovely.

"A good number of customers came and spoke to me, saying how much they had missed me and were pleased to see me.

"One man in particular took the time to thank me for the times when I looked after his late pet dog as it enabled him to go shopping each week."

THe money collected by Elizabeth and other collectors remains in the area and enables the church to undertake a range of work including supporting the homeless and vulnerable, families and children, and those who are lonely and seeking community.

Major Butler added: "We want to say a big thank-you to all of our supporters for the donations we receive."

They provide tailored end of life care both in the community and at the Hospice, supporting patients living with a terminal illness, and their family and friends. Would you like to see behind the scenes at their Donation Centre at Terminus Road? They are looking for 3 or 4 volunteers to help the busy team across the week and weekends to take in and sort donations and assisting donors if necessary. Volunteers for this must be capable of some manual handling and lifting. Would you be able to donate some time to help maybe once a week or once a fortnight, they would love to hear from you!

You will help learners to register and complete a variety of on-line courses depending on their needs. Support will be either 1:1 or in small groups and may vary from using a mouse/keyboard to setting up e-mails or searching for jobs.

Voluntary Volunteer Work Party Team Leader – Manhood Wildlife & Heritage Group Volunteers are needed to assist the MWHG team in encouraging and supporting people from across the Manhood Peninsula to participate in wildlife conservation activities. Supporting and empowering local communities to take ownership of their environment, they believe, is a sustainable model for managing local wildlife sites.

Your job is to solve whatever practical challenge they throw at you, designing and then making a special piece of equipment that will help them become more independent. You will need somewhere to work independently on your projects.

Some of the volunteers have their own workshop, others use community facilities or have a workbench and tools in the garage. You will also need to have the means to travel to meet clients locally. However you like to work, they would be pleased to hear from you.

City trainers come top in Solent body-builder championships THREE personal trainers from Chichester excelled in their categories at THe Solent City Open Body-building Championships.

Everyone Active’s personal trainers, Nick THomas, Martin Sorenson and Ryan Ginns, took part in the national event, which is in its 41st year. THe trio work at Westgate Leisure Centre in Chichester and have been training hard for the past nine months in preparation.

THe event took place in Gosport last month and welcomed bodybuilding enthusiasts of all abilities. THe competition boasts numerous categories such as novice, bikini women and physique.

THe team achieved outstanding results in their respective groups, with Nick coming first place in the novice category and Martin finishing with an impressive second place in the over 40s category.

Ryan also competed for the first time in the novice division.

Nick has been working as a personal trainer for six years after serving in the army.

He said: "Since the competition, people have asked me what we did to prep for it. I said, we simply worked hard in the gym and in the kitchen at home.

THe combination of both strict training and diet protocols paid off and the results speak for themselves!”

Martin, who has been a personal trainer for ten years, added: “THe competition has served to springboard success for many who go on to bigger shows. THis year we underwent rigorous training and diet to effectively 'peak' for show day, and achieved great results, which we’re extremely proud of.”

THe annual event is one of the UK’s longest running bodybuilding competitions and looks for candidates who stand out for their symmetry, mass, pose, proportionality, routine and leanness.

f Gillian Keegan sails around the harbour

City's MP sets sail around the harbour ITCHENOR Sailing Club welcomed Chichester MP, Gillian Keegan, for a day out on the water last Monday before her return to Parliament the next day.

Mrs Keegan and her team commenced their visit with a cruise around the harbour with a group of Itchenor’s experienced keelboat sailors to learn more about how to sail the club’s renowned XODs and Sunbeams.

THe MP commented: "One of the huge privileges of being a member of Parliament is getting to know how all the different bits of a constituency work.

"Sailing is something we love and

appreciate and it is a big part of Chichester and its culture."

During the visit, Mrs Keegan also sought to learn more about the pressures and concerns for Chichester Harbour, from cleanliness to capacity, including how the harbour copes with overcrowding during the busy, summer months.

Later in the afternoon, the Conservative MP and her team replaced sails with oars in order to enjoy a relaxing row in one of Itchenor’s coxed four rowing boats.

Itchenor recently added recreational rowing to its sailing programme last

year to allow its members to enjoy the stunning vistas around Chichester Harbour in a relaxed format.

Commodore of Itchenor Sailing Club, Neil Hart, added: "We were delighted to host Gillian and her team at Itchenor this week, and share our passion for not only sailing but also Chichester Harbour.

"THere’s no better way to experience the sheer beauty of our harbour than by getting out on the water in either a keelboat or rowing boat."

Plans for the city to become green f The Douglas DC3 aircraft| Pic: Alex Benwell

Iconic plane lands at Goodwood for city's annual Revival event

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk GOODWOOD Aerodrome welcomed the first of its iconic aircraft, the Douglas C41A, ahead of THe Freddie March Spirit of Aviation, which is one of the annual highlights of Goodwood Revival.

Admired by pilots around the world, the Douglas DC3 aircraft revolutionised air transport in the 1930s and 1940s, with its lasting effect on the airline industry and World War II, making it one of the most significant transport aircraft ever produced. THe C41A was a militarised version of the design intended for use by high ranking officials.

THis example was built in 1939, celebrated its 80th birthday yesterday, having been lovingly restored after being discovered in a hanger near St Louis in the U.S. state of Missouri by enthusiastic

owner Richard Martin in August, 2015.

It retains its well-appointed main cabin, original tail insignia, and bare metal finish, and is one of only two aircraft designated the C41A variant, and requisitioned by Major General Henry Arnold as VIP transport.

Having taken part in D-Day 75th anniversary commemorations in May, it was until recently based at Bolling Army Airfield, Washington DC. THe aircraft's owner, Richard Martin, commented: "I was brought up in the south of England, so it is an honour to bring this remarkable piece of aviation history to THe Freddie March Spirit of Aviation at Goodwood Revival.

"It offers members of the public and aviation enthusiasts a rare chance to see such an influential aircraft."

It will join an array of historic aeroplanes, including the 1914

Bristol Scout, 1944 Beechcraft D-17S Staggerwing, 1966 Beech V35B Bonanza, and 1917-type Albatros DVa. THe Goodwood motor circuit has once again come alive to the sights and sounds of the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s and visitors will enjoy world-class historic racing, stunning air displays, music, dancing, vintage fashion shows and a nostalgic fun-fair, starting today.

THe motor circuit was originally established by the 9th Duke of Richmond, known as Freddie March, at the end of the Second World War. All Saturday and three-day tickets have now sold out.

THere is limited availability for today and Sunday. Tickets can be purchased by visiting goodwood.com or by calling into the Goodwood shop and ticket office during opening hours or by calling the ticket hotline on: 01243 755055.

CITY COUNCILLORS have agreed a set of plans put in place by a green councillor after discssions at a full council meeting on Wednesday evening.

Cllr Sarah Sharp laid out measures regarding trees, wildflowers, pesticides, green bus stops and electricity suppliers.

Chichester City Council declared a Climate Emergency on June 19 and a task and finish Group was set up under the chairmanship of Cllr Bethan Norrell and this group has so far had one meeting.

More than 220 local authorities in the UK have already made this declaration and the Government now recognises the need for greater climate action, with a 2050 net zero target now enshrined in law.

Cllr Sarah Sharp put her ideas forward regarding tree wardens, councils, and the Woodland Trust to hold a Tree Summit in order to plant more trees.

Other initiatives included the need to become a pesticide free city, green bus stops' roofs and encouraging pollinator friendly planting, as well as to reduce the cutting regime for grass in public spaces to encourage wild flowers.

Cllr Sharp said: "By putting forward practical and tangible measures that the council can discuss and take up with the community and its partners we hope to make a real difference to the city and respond to the hopes and aspirations of young people for a greener and cleaner place to live.

"People hear about initiatives around the country - whether that is water fountains, green roofs and walls or wildflowers on verges to attract bees

- and want to see things happening here in Chichester. We have a duty to start taking practical measures to plant more trees and reduce our reliance on pesticides."

A second initiative that Cllr Sharp proposed is to compare renewable energy providers and to look to using renewable sources, changing as a priority to a Green Tarriff.

THe motions were well received by all members of the council at it's meeting on Wednesday evening.

Cllr Craig Gershater said: “I’d like to support Cllr Sharp’s initiative.

One thing I would like to explore is the feasibility and accessibility of encouraging urban apiarists."

Cllr Martyn Bell said: “I’m not sure what the procedures are but I have to say there is nothing in this that I wouldn’t support. I think it’s tremendous. I’m not familiar with the green bus shelters but I think it’s a good idea. On the tree summit, the pesticides, all of that there, I totally support.”

Green bus stops have sedum or other plants used on the roofs of bus stops to attract more bees as pollinators, provide more plants to improve air quality and to be a visible sign that the city council is actively reducing its collective carbon footprint.

Cllr John-Henry Bowden added: “I would like to support Cllr Sharp and thank her the tremendous amount of work that she has put into it but I do question why it says 'using locally grown flowers wherever possible instead of plants from abroad'."

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE county council spent £26,000 on three 'awaydays' for staff in the last year.

According to a Freedom of Information Request, West Sussex County Council spent £17,000 on one event held at Fontwell Racecourse, with a bill of £1,247 on orange juice.

Cllr Dr James Walsh, Liberal Democrat leader of the opposition at County Hall, said: "THese sums on 'awayday' beanos are frankly shocking.

"When the county council is savagely cutting grants to homeless services and children and family centres, it is simply amazing that taxpayer money can be lavished on such events.

"I would like to know just which services to the public have improved as a result, and how. When children’s’ services and our fire and rescue service are in special measures due to 'inadequate' ratings from Government inspectors, these should be the council's top priorities.

"I will be asking for an explanation from the leader of the council for this expenditure of council taxpayers’ cash when the council is pleading poverty and imposing swingeing cuts on many personal services across the county."

A spokesperson for the council said it made commercial sense to run events outside of the council due to the large number of staff as they were one of the largest employees in the county and the events were for over 450 people.

She said: "West Sussex County

Council – like many local authorities across the country - faces a significant financial challenge with extremely limited resources.

"An annual staff conference, for one of the largest employers in the county, is an efficient way of sharing best practice and information with staff to ensure they continue to provide the best possible service to our residents.

"We ensure that these events take place within the county for the benefit of our local businesses. Events such as these are not held frequently and every effort is made to keep costs to a minimum."

f The sofa is out and about again

Pink sofa tour

AFTER the success of their previous Pink Sofa Tour earlier in the year, local charity, Dementia Support are taking the infamous sofa out and about again.

To mark World Alzheimer’s Month, they are taking the sofa to locations in the Witterings, Petworth and Felpham next week.

THe public are invited to pop in and chat to their Wayfinding Team for information, advice and emotional support.

THere will also be an opportunity to join in some fun chair-based exercises in Petworth and Felpham.

Dementia Support has unique Wayfinders – individuals who provide emotional support and practical advice to enable people to navigate the dementia world.

Jacquie Pond, one of the Wayfinders at Dementia Support said: "No-one

should struggle alone with this disease.

Being a Wayfinder allows me to be there for people living with dementia and their families and friends.

"Caring for a loved one with dementia can be tough, both in a practical sense and emotionally.

"I am very proud to be a Wayfinder and look forward to meeting people on our pink sofa. Pop in and say hello!"

You can find the sofa and the Wayfinders in the following locations: • Wednesday, September 18, 9.30am – 12.30pm at Witterings Medical Centre • Wednesday, September 18, 1.30pm – 4.30pm at Petworth GP Surgery • THursday, September 19, 9.30am – 1pm at Arun Leisure Centre.

` Competition POST NEWSPAPERS has chosen a winner of our Southdowns Folk Festival competition.

THe competition, as featured in the Chichester Post and Bognor Regis Post, asked the following question: • Which was Lindisfarne's first ever hit?

Congratulations to everyone who correctly said the answer: • Meet Me On THe Corner THe winner who we picked at random is Vince Groves, from Elmer Well done Vince - you have won a pair of four-day tickets to Southdowns Folk Festival, worth £150.

Please collect your tickets from the Regis Centre box office from 6pm on THursday, September 19.

THe Southdowns Folk Festival and begins next THursday features no less than 117 different performances around Bognor Regis town centre over four days.

Top musicians like Lindisfarne and THe Young 'Uns will perform in ticketed concerts but the majority of events, including the Southdowns Ukulele Festival, are free to attend and take part in.

Post Newspapers would like to thank everyone who entered our competition and congratulations to our winner.

Social care gets a big cash boost IT’S a start but we need more’, was essentially the message from West Sussex County Council after the Chancellor announced a one-year £1.5bn boost to social care funding.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sajid Javid, announced that, in 2020/21, there will be an extra £1bn of dedicated funding in the kitty to help councils pay for adult and children’s social care.

On top of that will be a potential £500m for adult social care, if town halls raise council tax by two per cent.

No exact figures have been announced but the money is expected to add up to an extra five per cent for each council.

While delighted that the extra money was on the way, council leader Louise Goldsmith, pictured, said: “THis new funding will certainly help some of our most vulnerable residents but it is for one year – what we really need next year is a four-year settlement.”

THe council has been in the firing line over the past year for the performance of its social care services and the savings it has made in order to balance its budget.

By April, it will have slashed its housing related support budget by £4m to £2.3m, suspending for one year plans to cut another £1.3m.

THe County Councils Network said the extra money was ‘hugely significant’ and would provide ‘breathing space’.

But they warned that the long-term challenge ‘remains considerable’, adding that councils still faced a £7bn

funding gap by 2024/25.

Cllr Goldsmith said: “I am delighted that the government has pledged a significant amount of extra funding to adults and children’s social care services.

“THe county council has for some time been making the case to our MPs and ministers of the need for additional funding in the short term.

“THis week’s announcement shows that the Government has listened to us.

“THe government has said it will now consult on the distribution method for the grant so we will wait for more information and whatever amount we receive will be factored into our budget process this autumn.”

f The apprentices enjoyed a special ceremony

Largest group of apprentices welcomed at car manufacturer

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk ROLLS-ROYCE Motor Cars has welcomed the largest-ever cohort onto its award-winning apprenticeship programme for 2019 in a special ceremony at the home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood.

A record 26 new apprentices and their families took part in the event, which was hosted by Johann Wolf, director of manufacturing, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, together with senior managers and employees from the departments in which the apprentices will be based during their time at Goodwood.

THe new recruits will train with the company for between two and four years, working alongside experienced craftspeople in assembly, woodshop, surface finish, leathershop, parts

quality and total vehicle quality management to learn the unique skills and techniques employed by the world’s leading luxury manufacturer.

THey will also study for nationallyrecognised vocational qualifications at Chichester College and other local further education establishments.

For the first time since its launch in 2006, the programme now includes Sir Ralph Robins degree apprenticeships, in which candidates will study for a BEng in mechanical engineering at the University of Chichester to complement their on-the-job practical training.

THe welcoming event for the new arrivals was followed by a chance to celebrate the achievements of apprentices who have successfully completed their apprenticeship in 2019 and are now employed in roles across the company.

Mr Wolf said: “Since its launch 13 years ago, our apprenticeship Programme has provided a unique opportunity for successful candidates to develop skills and careers with an iconic global brand.

"We remain absolutely committed to continuing our provision to maximise its reach and impact. We believe this combination of hands-on training, practical experience and vocational education is vitally important not only to our own future, but to that of UK manufacturing as a whole.

“THat we were able to offer a record number of apprenticeship places this year is a testament to the sheer quality of the applications we’re now receiving.

We’re very much looking forward to working with our new apprentices over the coming years, and helping them realise the enormous potential they’ve already demonstrated.”

LETTERS

to the editor

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 When is something going to be done about the appalling lack of service at Summersdale post office? THe post office is quite simply never open.

Many times, I have called into post something only to find a sign up on the counter pleading illness, absence, or a staff break. THis is the third time I have written regarding this issue. I wrote to the Post Office and Gillian Keegan MP in March this year, then a local paper in July.

I can only hope that this time my letter will be printed and that something will be done.

THe postal services at Summersdale appear to be grudging, at best. THey have one parcel sack. When that is full, no more parcels are accepted, even in the run-up to Christmas.

Our postman offered to do an extra collection, to allow them to continue accepting parcels. He said they refused because it would make more work for them.

THere is the post office in Parklands, where an influx of Summersdale customers has made our post office’s lack of service notorious. However, what about the elderly and disabled who depend on Post Office services for pension and benefit payments?

THe biggest cause for concern is the post office itself. If this situation is allowed to continue, how long before the Post Office notices the lack of revenue being generated and decides there is not enough demand in the area to justify keeping the Summersdale post office open?

THere is a demand and it is not being satisfied, simply fended off with “closed” signs, and belligerence.

As I said above, I’ve written to the Post Office and to my MP. What more can we do?

Yours faithfully Julia Dean Maplehurst Road Chichester

Dear Editor Great street party. But you say in the Chichester Post it’s vital that we support our local high streets particularly in the current financial climate.

Well, how will this work when car park charges have been increased again by the greedy council. THey are cutting their own throats.

Kind Regards Peter Hill Tawny Close Birdham

Dear Editor Further to your story in Issue 174 "City's first summer street party is a hit", here are some street party photos from the 1990s.

I know that there was a WI party but I can't find the photos for that. We certainly had a lot of fun at that time and also raised funds for good causes.

Chichester had a real buzz then.

I now live in Aldwick but visit the city every few days and even went to Chichester University, achieving my MA at 64, so I am very fond of the city.

With every good wish Jacqui Rochford Aldwick Bognor Regis

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

The dangers of hidden sugars in your food www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@thewellbeingcompanyltd. com HIDDEN sugar comes in many forms, glucose, fructose, sucrose, galactose, lactose, maltose etc but not all of these different types of sugar affect our health

in the same way.

Believe it or not, there are over 61 different names for sugar that can be used on the packaging of products to disguise it from the consumer.

So what is the solution? It’s very simple and a rule that we can all follow if you organise yourself a little better. You see the key thing to do is limit or avoid

A SUGAR RICH DRESSING on a plate of goodness

packaged foods whereever possible.

Ingredients on the side of packaged food can be very deceiving and lead you into thinking something is ‘healthy’ when it really is not.

Shop-bought salad dressings are a classic example. You fill your plate up with a pile of goodness in the form of green leaves, delicious whole foods of multiple colours such as orange (carrots) reds (tomatoes) and purples (beetroots), sprinkle a few omega benefiting nuts and seeds on the top and then layer it with a sugar-rich dressing!

Healthy snack bars can also be quite deceiving, too. THey are often labelled as ‘healthy’ but if you check the sugar content you might be in for a surprise!

Some foods may contain artificial, and possibly carcinogenic sugar, or more sugar than you could possibly need in one day.

Certain types of sugar have been linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancers, insomnia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, just to name a few.

In the average western diet, added sugar alone accounts for around 450 calories a day, or 1,850 kilojoules, and these calories not only come with no other nutrients but can affect your hormonal balance in a negative way, which has a knock-on effect with the rest of your body. When your hormones are out of balance, in both men and women it can cause a catalogue of disasters, not only in your physical body, but your mind too, leading to anxiety and depression in some cases.

I see it all the time in my clinics where people truly believe they are having a great healthy diet, but still have real health issues they are struggling with.

THERE ARE OVER 61 DIFFERENT NAMES FOR SUGAR that

can be used on the packaging of products

When I go through their diet and analyse everything they are eating, the hidden sugars are often at the forefront of their issues.

Remove packaged products and replace with home-made meals, snacks and dressings and your whole body will be thankful, in particular your liver and digestive system, which once working efficiently, your hormones can magically re balance.

To suggest each organ in your body is separate from one another does not make sense. You need to look after the body as a ‘whole’ in order to experience great health, as one imbalance causes another. It’s always best to address the root cause of any health issues that you are experiencing, in order to create the natural flow of energy and harmony.

Remember this: low-fat and ‘lite’ foods often have added sugar to enhance the flavour and make the products palatable.

If it is weight loss you are after, 80 per cent of weight-loss success comes from

eating the right food!

When eating dietary fat, supplemented by good quality protein and consumed along with abundant vegetables, you will find that the body's nutritional requirements are generally met. THis reduces harmful reactions to food, such as see-sawing blood sugar levels and unwanted health issues.

If you have health concerns and would like a personalised diet plan and health test to get to the root of your issues please visit: denisekelly.co.uk You can also sign up to our seven-day diet challenge where you can lose 4lbs in seven days and feel amazing too.

Also feel free to e-mail me to discuss any health concerns you may have, and if there are any particular health topics you want me to talk about in my weekly column here in the Chichester Post or Bognor Regis Post feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer.

Have a wonderful week and let’s thrive together this September!

PICK OF THE WEEK

Downton Abbey

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK

Sept 13-19

SEE

THe twice monthly Ruby Tuesdays films to celebrate milestones of the cinema’s 40th anniversary is shrouded in mystery on Tuesday, September 17. THe notion of a secret/ surprise film was introduced in 2009 at the 18th Chichester International Film Festival and which continues to this day. Buy a £2 ticket and sit back for a delightful surprise!

Performance events are the National THeatre’s smash hit, Small Island, and part of the NT Live’s 10th birthday and Rigoletto on the Lake on the shores of Lake Constance, Verdi’s masterpiece a powerhouse combination of entertainment and emotional intensity.

Chichester Cinema at New Park, New Park Road, Chichester PO19 7XY Box office: 01243 786650 www.chichestercinema.org

BRITISH television royalty makes its long-awaited big-screen debut, focussing on the continued exploits of the Crawley family.

Few historical period dramas gripped the world as much as ITV’s Downtown Abbey did during its original 20102015 run. THat’s why it should come as no surprise to learn that now, almost five years later, the eponymous English country estate and its inhabitants are the subject of a feature-length movie which serves as a direct continuation.

What has the Crawley family been up to since we last saw them? Picking up in autumn of 1927, the movie sees a prestigious visit to Downton Abbey made by King George V and Queen Mary.

Everything needs to be prim and proper before they arrive, as you can imagine, but the estate is finding it harder to function with half its operating budget being cut.

As such, everyone’s favourite characters are forced to pull together to ensure the royal family’s visit goes off without a hitch. Julian Fellowes, the award-winning creator of the original show, is back to script Downton Abbey’s first silver screen outing.

Hugh Bonneville’s Robert Crawley, Michelle Dockery’s Lady Talbot, and Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess of Grantham also return, adding extra legitimacy to a celebrated TV show making the cinematic leap.

from

IN Pain and Glory, director Pedro Almodóvar is in introspective mood with his 21st film. Antonio Banderas, who won the Cannes best actor award, plays a film director at the end of his career looking back on his life. A screening of an early career triumph enables him to rebuild his friendship with a former leading man, but the pain of lost love and conflicted feelings over his relationship with his late mother (a terrific Penelope Cruz) aren't so easy to resolve. THe lauded Spanish director’s addiction to filmmaking remains the one constant in his life. Glorious.

THe Russian submarine Kursk sank in the Barents Sea, killing 118 men, nearly 20 years ago. THe Russian government at first declined the help of foreign vessels in the area. Colin Firth plays a British sub commander in Kursk: THe Last Mission, the story told partly from the viewpoint of the stricken relatives back home.

Holly Grainger stars as Laura, a 30-something best mate of Tyler (Alia Shawkat) living in Dublin who meets Jim, a teetotal classical pianist, the antithesis of their own chaotic lives, the film taking a refreshingly frank and ambitious look at female relationships, 21st century-style.

Fans of Leonard Cohen, the musician-poet sans pareil, will flock to see Marianne and Leonard: Words of Love, an absorbing glimpse of the lovers on the Greek island of Hydra in 1960 by the insightful documentary maker, Nick Broomfield.

A play that will keep you on the edge of your seat Theatre review 

By Kelly Wickham Hedda Tesman Until September 28 Minerva Theatre, Chichester Festival Theatre, Oaklands Park, Chichester PO19 6AP 01243 781312 box.office@cft.org.uk www.cft.org.uk IF THIS was a book you were reading, you'd be turning the page every second, desperate to find out what was happening next, not wanting to stop at each chapter.

Certainly when the intermission came, many people could finally stop holding their breath and peel themselves away for 20 minutes reluctantly.

A re-work of Henrik Ibsen’s play Hedda Gabler of a doting husband, a troubled writer and a loaded gun, it’s 2019 and Hedda Tesman returns to a life she can’t seem to escape.

Haydn Gwynne plays Hedda and the bitterness her character possesses through boredom

shines through, but the audience still can't find much hatred towards her despite her privileged upbringing and dead father's influence.

Her estranged daughter, THea (Natalie Simpson) was hard to sympathise with, with her obnoxious, sometimes rude traits.

It was instead the perfect partnership between George Tesman (Anthony Calf ) and Auntie Julie (Jacqueline Clarke) who stole the evening with their brilliant portrayal of a bumbling husband

who can't do wrong from right and an auntie who just wants to help and tries to fix everything with a hug.

Jonathan Hyde as sneering, sly and slightly malicious Brack brings all the characters cleverly together.

THe ingenious use of a live piano playing between scenes was a clever way to remind us of what Hedda's life could have been had she persued her musical talents.

Education 25

A combination of fantastic facilities, caring professionals and strong leadership make the Regis School stand out

Nurturing respect, relationships and ambition in their students Felpham Community College Felpham Way, Felpham, Bognor Regis, West Sussex, PO22 8EL Tel: 01243 826511 www.felpham.com fcc@felpham.org.uk FELPHAM Community College staff and governors are united in believing in the importance of nurturing respect, relationships and ambition in their students.

THey have three core values - achievement, care and equality - allied with the vision to create a school which is a true learning community and where continued success will be delivered through a combination of innovative thinking and traditional standards.

Originally known as Felpham Comprehensive School, it was opened on the site in 1974.

In 1978 it accommodated 800 students. A new name - Felpham Community College - was adopted in 1991 after an expansion in the previous years which took its student numbers to about 1,400.

Its International Schools Award provides recognition that a worldwide ethos is embedded throughout the school and that a majority of pupils within the school are involved in international work.

THe Healthy Schools Award and Sport England Award demonstrate the school's commitment to encourage healthier life-style choices and to participate in sport above and beyond the curriculum.

A commitment to supporting students with special educational needs is also recognised by the Dyslexia Friendly Schools and Autism Aware awards. With these awards, teaching and other support staff are able to identify and respond to unexpected difficulties students may face.

In the summer of 2017, the school was awarded Level 2/Gold Award as a Unicef Rights Respecting School to recognise its achievement in putting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into practice.

THe Level 2 Right Respecting School Award is the highsest level granted by Unicef UK and only 22 secondray schools have achieved the required standard of embedding children's rights in their policies, practice and ethos.

Headteacher Mark Anstiss said: "Our latest exam results were extremely positive with our highest number of students achieving the new top grade 9s and 8s. Overall attainment in English GCSE was 77 per cent graded 4-9 and in maths GCSE was 72 per cent graded 4-9. We recognise that great schools are about more than just exam results and we have worked hard to create an exciting, engaging and broad curriculum.

"At Felpham, we believe in getting the basics right so we have also focused on developing a safe, calm and purposeful learning environment with excellent student behaviour and a smart school uniform.

"Last year, the school underwent significant building work costing over £11.5m. Students joining us in 2020 will benefit from fantastic modern facilities in our new three-storey block that replaces our older classrooms.

"Whilst great schools are about the people in them and not just the buildings, the enhanced facilities at Felpham will be a massive boost.

"Felpham Community College has moved a huge distance over the years but we are not complacent.

Our foundations are firm and our committed and enthusiastic staff are determined to create a truly outstanding school. We are looking for young people who we can inspire, support and develop to reach their full potential." I hope you will join us."

Confidence is key at Kumon Kumon Tel: 01243 575004 kumon.co.uk AT YOUR local Kumon Chichester and Bognor Regis Study Centres the aim is to develop students into confident, independent learners and to help them achieve their full potential. With 60 years of experience, the Kumon Maths and English programmes enable students to develop into confident, independent learners.

Kumon study helps students develop a positive attitude to study. THis can increase their

enjoyment across a wide range of subjects at school, while also preparing them for personal and professional success later in life. We believe this opportunity to grow on both an academic and a personal level should be available to all children.

Kumon does not follow the school curriculum, but rather complements it. Children complete their work and progress through the development of independent learning skills, rather than being taught in the conventional sense.

Kumon believes that learning is always for the long run. THe individualised maths and English programmes enable each student to progress to

professional standard dance and drama studios, and a sports arena with a large professional gym, very large sports hall, swimming pool, all weather pitches, all for the use of students attending the school.

We offer close to 50 extra-curricular activities each week, ranging from Duke of Edinburgh, Sports, Arts, Performing Arts, Technologies, homework/catch-up clubs, more-able clubs, and many more! THese complement over 150 trips and visits, local, national and international. THe school stays open to students until 4.45pm each day where students can use the library and ICT break-out areas to complete independent study, enabling working parents to avoid costly child-care arrangements.

Our staff are loving and caring professionals who work relentlessly to know each child as an individual and do all we can to help our students achieve their dreams.

CommunityNews&Views ON SATURDAY, the European Movement Portsmouth and Chichester branch campaigned once again in Chichester, inviting members of the public to indicate on a ‘Brexitometer’ how they felt about what was currently happening.

THe questions asked were: • Should Boris Johnson have prorogued (closed) Parliament for five weeks in the midst of this major national crisis?

• Should we have an early general election?

• Do you think a general election would resolve the Brexit crisis?

• Should we have another referendum with Remain as an option?

• Should we stop Brexit and Remain in the EU after all?

Around 20 European Movement members and supporters turned out to help, and there was a non-stop flow of members of the public who were keen to discuss the issues and say how they felt. THe Brexit supporters who engaged with the volunteers were encouraged to put their stickers on as well.

European Movement spokesman John Wilton said: "We were delighted so many turned out to help us today and that such large numbers of the public wanted to engage with our volunteers.

"Many people were surprised that so many others locally shared their views on this and quite a few took pictures of the ‘Brexitometer’ to share with their family and friends. Others thanked us profusely for keeping up the fight to stop Brexit. " THe large majority of the public who engaged with us thought that the Prime Minister was wrong to prorogue Parliament, they did not want an early general election and thought that even if it happened, it would not resolve the Brexit crisis and they wanted another referendum with Remain as an option, and wanted us to stop Brexit altogether and remain in the European Union.

"We and other pro-European campaign groups will continue to campaign ceaselessly on a non-party political basis for us to remain as members of the European Union."

THE SUSSEX Police Dog Unit has closed applications from families to look after their four-legged friends until they are ready to step up their careers after receiving a huge response in just a few weeks.

Police have thanked everyone who replied to their advert to become a police puppy foster carer.

A spokesperson said: "Due to overwhelming interest in the post, we are no longer seeking applicants.

"We will continue to respond to all emails received. However, please note that due to the extremely high volume of enquiries, this may take some time.

"Applicants’ details may be retained for future consideration.

THank you for your support."

Two new police puppies are Quest, pictured above right, an eight-month-old Fox Red Labrador who was bred in Lincolnshire and recruited alongside his brother Quaver, pictured above left, at the Surrey Police and Sussex Police dog training school.

Kennel master Emma Coles said: “Quest has been with his allocated foster family since he was eight weeks. THey have done an amazing job at raising such a fun-loving, social and happy dog.

“Quest loves life, he enjoys nothing more than nice walks, lots of love, toys, play and more play. He is now ready to develop his training further and is stepping up his police dog career along to the next level.

“Last week he said a sad farewell to his loving foster family and he has now gone to live at home with his potential new handler.”

THe Surrey Police and Sussex Police Dog Unit is made up of German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Spaniels and Labradors.

THey are trained for multiple purposes including detecting drugs, weapons and explosives, searching for missing or wanted people, and assisting in public order incidents such as crowd control.

A CHANCE to travel back on board England’s most noisiest and rickety railway is available on THursday, September 26, at 6pm.

THe Selsey Tramway is the subject of the talk by former assistant county archivist, Bill Gage.

THe illustrated talk will cover the tram from its opening in 1897 to closure in 1935.

THis light railway travelled for seven miles from Chichester to Selsey and was so popular that at its height it carried over 100,000 passengers a year.

Initially operated with vintage steam locomotives, the line was also referred to by local people as the BumpityBump as in places the track had been laid on bare ground and so the undulations gave a very rough ride.

THe tramway was initially very popular and contributed to the development of the Selsey peninsula, transporting

THE DISTINGUISHED Gentleman’s Ride will roll into Northgate car park, Chichester, later this month.

THe annual charity event is in aid of prostate cancer research, and men’s mental health.

Around 250 classic-styled bikes and ‘dapper’ riders will recreate the heyday of motorcycling as they visit a number of West Sussex towns collecting donations.

A famous face from Emmerdale and Coronation Street will be leading a team of riders.

Ian Kelsey has been building

not only people but building material, coal, agricultural products and the catches of Selsey fishermen to the major fish markets.

However, the tram was always late and nobody could be sure when it would arrive as the driver would have a shotgun on the footplate and would stop the train to shoot rabbits. In time, the railway’s poor timekeeping led to its demise.

THe presentation will be held at THe Bassil Shippam Centre, Tozer Way, Chichester.

Admission is free and donations are presented to a local charity.

THe charity chosen by Bill Gage, is the Chichester Area Mental Support Lunch Club which offers lunch and other activities to older people with both mental health problems and dementia.

Book for free at: talksatsix. co.uk

a Cafe-Racer styled motorbike especially for the event. He is joined by fellow TV and film actors Nicky Evans and Nigel Harman, all of whom will be in their smartest attire for the occasion.

THe public are welcome to come along, see the bikes, meet the riders, and of course chat with the celebrity team ‘Ian Kelsey’s Bolney Flyers’.

THe event will be held on Sunday, September 29, at 12.30pm. Entry is free, refreshments are available, and the Tail-Lights Blues Band will be playing.

PEOPLE in Chichester are continuing to benefit from a summer of sport as they visited the city’s free annual activity festival.

Everyone Active, which manages a number of leisure facilities across the area on behalf of Chichester District Council, hosted this year’s Get Active Festival on Sunday at Prebendal School playing field.

THe event involved residents of all ages and abilities in physical activities to improve their health and wellbeing. From 12pm – 4pm, visitors had the chance to try a number of sports and pastimes with the aim of encouraging them to include activity as part of their daily routine.

In addition to football and tennis, there were also opportunities for guests to try their hand at more unusual sports, such as martial arts, nordic walking, boxing and dance workshops.

Activities included dry sailing with Cobnor activity centre and golf with Goodwood Golf Club, through to trying out cricket with the team from Sussex County Cricket Club, who provided coaching for four to eight-year-olds, and their inflatable roadshow which tests batting and bowling skills.

THis year also saw dance activities with Arabesque and a family floats ’n’ fun session provided in the swimming pool at Westgate Leisure Centre after the event.

THe Get Active Festival is in its 15th year, and this was the fourth time that it was delivered by Everyone Active.

Cllr Roy Briscoe, cabinet member for community services and culture at Chichester District Council, said: “Since the first Get Active Festival in 2005, it’s been fantastic to see the event grow in popularity year on year.

"THe festival offers an excellent opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to try sports and activities that they may not normally have the chance to experience, completely free.

"We hope the event will continue to inspire people across the district and match them with new sports they will enjoy for years to come."

A SERIES of events taking place this autumn titled ‘Live Better Together' will be held at Chichester Cathedral.

Each event will have a theme for discussion and reflection about what peace means in our own lives, the local community and wider world.

THe programme begins with ‘Tasting My Future’, a film by Sylvie Collier and Cathy Maxwell, on Friday, September 20, at 7.30pm at the Quaker Meeting House in Chichester. THe film features women who fled wars, persecution and danger in their own countries who have sought refuge in the UK. In exile, they share one tradition: cooking, and the film explores how they cross cultural boundaries to cook and share traditional dishes.

Live Better Together continues on Saturday, September 21, International Day of Peace, with ‘Recipe for Peace’, a free dropin family friendly event for all ages held on the Cathedral Green from 1.30pm - 3.30pm.

On Tuesday, October 1, a talk entitled ‘From Swords to Ploughshares: Conflict and Climate, Peace and Prosperity’ will examine the connection between conflict, climate and natural resources, and how prosperity could be assured for all. Presented

by Dr Ruth Valerio, global advocacy and influencing director at Tearfund, pictured above. THe talk runs from 6.30pm - 7.30pm in Vicars’ Hall at the cathedral.

An interfaith panel on climate change will discuss the question of ‘What role, if any, should faith-based organisations play in efforts to combat climate change?’ on THursday, October 17.

THe Annual Quaker Peace Lecture is the final event, with the theme of ‘Stopping Wars Before THey Start’ with speaker Tim Gee, a Quaker, London-based writer, political activist and author. THe Lecture starts at 6pm on Saturday, November 9, at the Chichester Quaker Meeting House.

THe Dean of Chichester, the Very Rev Stephen Waine, is delighted that such a varied programme has been put together.

He said: "THis is a chance for everyone to share ideas and experiences and explore the concept of peace and what it means today."

The history of cinemas in the city

By Amanda Rogan, learning officer at the Novium Museum BEFORE the presence of a permanent cinema in Chichester, picture entertainment was provided by travelling shows and temporary locations throughout the city were sought.

One such location within Chichester was the Corn Exchange in East Street.

On Boxing Day, 1896, Maggie Morton brought her cinematograph to the Corn Exchange. Her selection of films, each only a minute or so in length, allowed people to see moving images on a big screen for the first time.

In the early 1900s, Joseph Poole and brothers booked the Corn Exchange once a year, for a week at a time, to show Myrioramas.

THese were panoramic pictures on a canvas screen which was drawn across the stage on rollers. THese were accompanied by spoken commentary and showed contemporary and historic scenes to entertain the audience.

From 1910, the hall was adapted and a cinematograph licence granted, and the venue became known as Poole's Electric Picture Palace. THe Poole brothers also introduced locally shot films so audiences could watch events such as the Bosham Regatta and Priory Park cricket matches.

Cinema in Chichester grew in popularity and several other sites opened, and closed, over the years: In 1911, the Olympia Electric THeatre, the first purpose-built cinema in Chichester, opened its doors in Northgate and offered competition to Poole's Electric Picture Palace.

THe cinema was nearly destroyed by a major fire in 1921. Despite recovering from this incident, in 1922 a second fire broke out in the balcony and damage caused the cinema to close for good. Today, this site, on Northgate roundabout, is used as the Chichester Festival THeatre costume and prop store.

THe Odeon originally opened in South Street as the Picturedrome in 1920, but was later replaced by the Plaza and then rebranded as the Odeon in 1945. THis site was one of the larger cinemas in Chichester and contained a café but was not one of the most successful. It closed in 1960 with the final films being ‘THe Shakedown’ and a Russian war film, ‘Heart Of A Man’. THe site currently houses Iceland

supermarket.

THe Gaumont opened in Eastgate Square to great excitement in 1937. THe first film shown here was ‘King Solomon’s Mines’. It was the largest cinema in town with a near 1,300 capacity. Unfortunately, the growing popularity of television and competition from other cinemas proved too much and declining audience figures saw the closure of the Gaumont in 1960.

THe cinema at the Corn Exchange turned out to be the longest-running cinema in Chichester, although it changed hands several times over its life span. Due to the competition offered by the Olympia Electric THeatre, the Poole brothers sold the site to Mr Stanley James in the 1920s.

In 1927, the Wainwrights' London and District Cinemas circuit purchased the site. It was closed for several months for renovation and conversion into a more modern cinema with new seats and equipment. THey showed the first talking picture ‘THe Fox Movietone Follies’ in 1929.

It was later taken over by the Granada THeatres chain in 1948 when it was again closed for refurbishment, reopening later that same year. By 1960, it was the only cinema still operating in the city but by the early 1980s it, too, had closed. THe last film screened at the cinema was ‘Star Wars: THe Empire Strikes Back’.

In 1979, Roger Gibson founded the Chichester College Adult Education Film Society. Films were shown one evening a week in the 250-seat College Hall, which was equipped with a 25-feet screen, while others were shown in the 70-seat Lecture THeatre. In 1982, the society’s name was changed to the Chichester College Film Society.

In 1986 the Chichester City Film Society moved to the New Park Community Centre at New Park Road. In the early days, the seats were plastic on a level floor and the films were shown by a second-hand projector.

Chichester Cinema at New Park today is an independent cinema which screens a range of films across the indie, world film and mainstream spectrum and is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

City remain up for the FA Cup CHICHESTER City boss Miles Rutherford will be trying to keep his side's focus firmly on the league - despite the club making FA Cup history last weekend.

Breaking records has become a habit of nature for the Oaklands Park side in recent years.

After sealing promotion to step four for the first time in the club's history last season, Chi also reached the last 16 of the FA Vase in 2017/18.

Now, City have reached the second qualifying round of the FA Cup for the first time ever after 2-0 victory over Isthmian South Central side Chalfont St Peter in the first qualifying round last weekend.

THe victory, sealed after a penalty from Gicu Iordache and Emmett Dunn header, has brought ÂŁ4,500 of prize money to Oaklands Park.

But it is the next round which is the greatest prize with a tie at Southern Premier side Hartley

Wintney on September 21 their reward.

Rutherford said: “We wanted a home draw obviously but you can’t do anything about that and we’ll be going there to win the game. “THey’ll be the favourites for sure but we’ll be quietly confident going there, there’s nothing to fear. “Before this season I hadn’t won a game for the club in this competition, the players have done great to get this far�.

Before that trip to north Hampshire, though, the club's focus will be on the league and two tough fixtures in the week ahead.

Tomorrow sees third place Chi head to early pacesetters Cray Valley PM (3pm).

THen on Tuesday it is back to Oaklands to host Sussex rivals THree Bridges, who are struggling in 17th after only one win from their first four games.

f Emmett Dunn celebrates scoring Chi's second

NEXT GAME

f City beat Chalfont in the FA Cup Rutherford will hope that his squad is boosted with the return of a number of players who missed the Chalfont tie due to injury.

Chi were without club captain Connor Cody, first team regulars Matt Axell and Jamie Horncastle, together with August player of the month and top scorer Scott Jones.

Rutherford then lost Callum Overton in the warm up so Josh Clack, similarly on his way back from injury, stepped up into the starting XI. THe Oaklands Park outfit started the better against a side who made the trip to Sussex with an unbeaten record.

Ryan Davidson went close with an early opportunity in the third minute, heading a Lloyd Rowlatt corner narrowly over Dan Purdue’s crossbar. THe 19-yearold Chalfont keeper had to punch a second corner clear moments later.

On 15 minutes Jimmy Wild knocked the ball into the path of Iordache only for man of the match Purdue to get a glove to the Romanian’s effort.

THe visitors came back into the match as the half went on, with Chi keeper Steve Mowthorpe pulling off a number of saves to

keep the match scoreless at the break.

City started the second half the brighter. Rob Hutchings got down the left and found Wild who headed inches just over.

THen Clack latched on to a super pass from Ben Pashley but once again Purdue came to the Saints' rescue.

Home fans thought they had taken a deserved lead after an hour but Iordache’s cracking shot crashed into the side netting.

Purdue turned a drive from Rowlatt round his post and Clack then wasn’t far away with a free kick.

Purdue was finally beaten in the 72nd minute from the spot after a foul on Corey Heath in the box.

THat followed a frantic spell when Kaleem Haitham rattled the woodwork and Purdue somehow blocked Clack’s follow up.

Callum Doyle might have levelled 60 seconds later for Chalfont but Mowthorpe got his angles right.

But it was Chi who wrapped things up when substitute Dunn doubled the lead with a super header on 86 minutes that gave Purdue no chance. It marked a happy return to Oaklands for the Canadian after a brief spell with Bognor.

Cray Valley PM (A) Tomorrow (Saturday September 14) at 3pm

Cardiff next for winless City CHICHESTER City Ladies boss Sadie Blakely is still waiting for her first win in charge of the side as the club face a fight to preserve their National Southern Premier status.

With nearly a quarter of the league season gone, Chi are sitting second bottom with no points and a goal difference of negative 16.

A 4-0 loss at much-fancied Oxford United will have done little to boost confidence within the City camp.

But Blakely will no doubt regroup her young squad and have them raring to go for a big week ahead which includes a home match against Cardiff City on Sunday (2pm) before a trip to Gillingham next weekend.

THe Chi boss will want to see more of the positives from the loss at Oxford, which included rave reviews for goalkeeper Rhiannon Stewart who kept the home side at bay.

City fell behind early on when seven minutes into the match Us winger Daisy McLachlan drifted inside onto her left foot and curled an effort into the top corner from 25 yards.

Georgia Timms then took advantage of the home side's dominance, burying a cross

with a good finish to double Oxford's lead.

United had their tails up and kept Chi in their own half for the majority of the first period.

McLachlan looked particularly sharp on the wing and grabbed her second of the game on 20 minutes. She worked space for

herself in the area and got on the end of a good pass to further the U’s advantage.

Emily Allen wrapped up the win just before the break when she slotted home.

It could have been more for Us but for the form of Chi keeper Stewart who pulled off a string of fine saves in the second period.

Lions looking up despite back-to-back reversals PAGHAM boss Bob Paine will be looking for more improvements from his young side as the club continue to struggle in SCFL Premier.

THe former East Preston manager, who only took charge at Nyetimber Lane a month before the season got underway, warned that the first half of the season would be difficult for the Lions.

But recent weeks have seen the young squad make big strides, including picking up their first league win of the season against Hassocks and progressing in the Peter Bentley Cup. Some of that progress was dampened in the last week with a home defeat to Crawley Down Gatwick (2-0) and 3-3 draw against Lancing, after a Tom Chalaye hat-trick.

With a weekend off, Paine will look for his side to rest and take on board a number of messages.

THey will then regroup for a Tuesday night clash at Hassocks in the RUR Cup (7.45pm) with hopes high that the Lions can repeat their narrow win against the Robins from last month.

THey will take heart from the loss against Crawley

Down last weekend when they dominated much of the first half but could not find a breakthrough.

Playing by far their best football of the season, it looked like it was going to be the best win to date. But try as they did, no goal was forthcoming.

Jack Barnes had a dipping 30 yard shot just grabbed on the line in the sixth minute.

Shortly after, an excellent cross into the box by Dave Beaney was just in front of Dan O’Brien.

On the half hour mark, Crawley keeper Tony Jenner made possibly the save of the season to somehow push over a close-range header by Joe Clarke. THat was followed by a Lewis Jenkins header that skimmed the bar.

THe Lions finally had the ball in the net just before the break but Clarke’s tap-in was ruled offside.

THen disaster struck for the home side when a fierce cross from the right squeezed through to Nick Sullivan and he made no mistake from about a yard out.

THe Lions' task increased in size in the 75th minute when Crawley added a second through Michael Wood.

Football SELSEY will be looking to keep up their good start to the season when they head to Steyning Town in the RUR Cup tomorrow (3pm).

THe Blues are currently fifth in SCFL Division One after a 3-1 victory over Worthing United last weekend, when Max Davies, Callum Dowdell and Brad Hayward sealed the three points.

THat was followed by a 4-0 loss against Littlehampton Town in midweek.

Daren Pearce's side now have a tough test if they want to bounce back when they head to SCFL Premier side Steyning.

Fellow Division One side Sidlesham remain fighting at the other end of the table

despite a morale-boosting 1-1 draw against table-toppers Littlehampton Town. THat was followed by a 3-0 defeat against Wick in midweek.

Sids have a weekend off but return to action on Tuesday when they welcome league rivals Southwick to the Recreation Ground in the RUR Cup (7.45pm).

In SCFL Division Two, seventh-place Bosham will host fifth-place Jarvis Brook as the Walton Lane side look for their fourth win on the trot.

THe Robins beat league newcomers Brighton Electricity 5-1 last time out, a win which leaves them four points behind leaders Montpelier Villa.

PB for Power in Littlehampton 10k BOGNOR Tone Zone's excellent season continued as a cohort of runners put in fine performances in the Littlehampton 10k.

Ran in aid of Chestnut Tree House, more than 1,200 runners took part in the event, which was largely based on the town's seafront.

Sean Power ran a storming race to lead the blue and orange vests home to finish seventh overall in a personal best time of 36.40, Christo Oosthuizen was just behind in 37.10.

Jess THomson took 2nd lady overall with another personal best of 40.31. Gervais Ward managed to push himself to a sub 45 minute and PB time of 44.43.

Peter Ramsdale was another club member who got themselves a PB finishing in 47.54.

Natalie Tribe wanted a sub 50 minute time and smashed that with a 48.17 and a new PB, just ahead of Lauren Toop who finished in 50.53. Lee Hayward returned to the Littlehampton 10k with a time of 51.52, beating his previous best.

Lisa Wadey and Debbie Patching came in near each other both getting personal bests of 54.06 and 54.10.

Leigh Paige ran an impressive race and

went sub 1 hour in a time of 57.23 which is a 2 minute PB, helped along by coach Stuart THomson. Michelle Lloyd (58.37) and Catriona Power (58.45) both carried on the long list of personal bests finishing together.

Good pals Lisa Broad and Sue Hayward finished hand in hand in 1 hour 6 minutes.

Beth Suter, Juliette Garrett and Alan Brown spurred each other on to finish in 1.09 a PB for both Beth and Alan.

f Bognor beat Fordingbridge 27-18 last weekend

Bognor aim for two from two BOGNOR RFC will be looking to keep up their winning start to the season when they host Havant IIs tomorrow (3pm).

THe Purple and Greens made the best possible start to their Hampshire Premier campaign when they defeated Fordingbridge 27-18.

THe bonus point victory means that Bognor are one of five teams to take maximum points from the opening weekend.

Tomorrow pitches them against the only side in the division yet to play when Havant's second string make the short trip along the A27 to Hampshire Avenue.

THe first team squad will be keen to try and better last season's third place finish in the division while bringing through a number of those who are shining in the newly-formed academy.

THe former Colts side made their last preparations before the start of their league campaign on Sunday at home to a strong Gosport and Fareham squad.

Both squads had 30+ players so four quarters of 20 minutes were played, allowing all players good

game time.

THe first quarter began badly as a Gosport went into the lead with the first play of the game.

Bognor worked their way into the game by securing set piece ball. Weller cut an excellent line to get over the gain line. Half backs Spurle and Gilbert-Jones moved the ball wide and number 8 Smith crashed over to tie things.

Both sides changed full personnel for the second quarter which ended up scoreless but showing much promise.

THe final quarters saw Bognor begin to dominate both possession and territory.

Teasdale hit his targets in the lineout and Robinson began to find room out wide. Smart play from Barker and Masaki saw Smith charge over for his second try converted by Hickman.

THen Decarteret collected a clearance kick and skipped through to score before converting his own try to end the game.

THis weekend, Bognor Greens travel to Ellingham & Ringwood while the Purples visit Eastleigh.

CHICHESTER RFC head to local rivals Havant on a high after taking the spoils in the Sausage Cup against Horsham on opening day of the season.

Blues fended off a late pressure from the newly-promoted Sussex side to seal a 39-30 bonus point victory.

It meant Chi lifted the Bill O'Hagan 'Sausage Cup', which was initiated in the 2000s after both teams took part in a series of close encounters. All focus now though is on another derby, this time against local rivals Havant on the artificial pitch at Hooks Lane tomorrow (3pm).

With both teams picking up five point hauls from their opening matches, it will be a good test for Paul Colley's side as they look to lay down a marker in London One South.

THey will look to build on the opening day with against Horsham which saw debuts for Zac Conoly in the second row and Liam Rowland on the bench, while Ben Polhill started his 23rd season in the 1st XV as blindside flanker.

Horsham kicked off up the slope and converted an early penalty to take a 0-3 lead.

It didn't take long for Blues to reply. Charlie

Wallace cutting through the visitors' defence before Sam Renwick dotted down to give Chi a 5-3 lead.

Horsham replied with another penalty after sustained pressure. But it was Chi who got the second try when Joe Woods dived over. 12-6.

Both sides then traded penalties before Blues increased their lead further. Chris Johnson charged through the opposition defence and a looping pass found Matt McLagan out wide to run it in. 22-9 at half time and Chichester seemingly in control.

Blues picked up where they left off in the second period, sealing the bonus point as captain Wallace finished a forward drive.

However, Horsham hadn’t read the script and in the space of 10 minutes scored two converted tries. 29-23.

THe visitors were then reduced to 14 as errors crept in on both sides. Chi took advantage through Johnson only for Horsham to reply straight from the restart. 36-30.

THe visitors nearly sealed a win but their winger put his foot in touch when beating the Blues defence. With a minute left, Norton slotted home a late penalty to secure victory and five league points.

FA Cup victory can spur us on claims Pearce

s up

Horsham

f Match action from Sittingbourne

NEXT GAME

LET'S now kick on - that's the message from Bognor boss Jack Pearce after the Rocks picked up their first home win of the season.

THe Nyewood Lane side have had a below-par start to the Isthmian Premier campaign, picking up just one victory from their first five games.

THat has left the club with only four points, enough for 18th in the 22-team standings.

But a break from the league last weekend gave the Rocks a chance to set the record straight - and they took the opportunity with both hands as a double from Jimmy Muitt and Bradley Lethbridge strike sealed a 3-0 win over Isthmian South East side Sittingbourne.

THe victory has sealed Bognor £4,500 in prize money and a place in second qualifying round of the tournament.

But more importantly it has given Bognor momentum heading into a big week which involves a trip to sixth-place East THurrock United tomorrow (3pm) before a home clash with Cheshunt on Tuesday (7.45pm).

Pearce said: "THere was so much to admire about the way we played against Sittingbourne, especially in the first half when, for periods of the game, they couldn't live with us.

"I appreciate they are from

a lower league but they were resolute, organised and provided stiff opposition overall so to get a convincing win was very welcome.

"THe task now is to get the players to take that confidence into the next game, and we'll be instilling this positivity through this week in training as we prepare for the game at THurrock."

Rocks head to Essex and the north banks of the THames knowing they will be on for a tough test against a side who were relegated last season from National South.

THeir paths have crossed just twice in the last five seasons with United winning both.

Meanwhile, Pearce says he is looking forward to meeting with old foes Dulwich Hamlet when the Rocks go to Champion Hill in the FA Cup second qualifying round on September 21.

He added: "Perhaps the draw could have been kinder to us but we go there confident we can put on an assured display and hope to win the tie.

"We’ve had some great battles, some pulsating games, with Dulwich Hamlet over the years and there is no reason why this shouldn’t be one, too. It should be a great occasion and it's one we look forward to."

East Thurrock United (A) Tomorrow (Saturday, September 14) at 3pm

Forward trio fighting fit at last IT'S taken more than a month of the season to come together. But the Rocks finally have their front three together on the pitch and fighting fit.

Jimmy Muitt, Dan Smith and Bradley Lethbridge formed a lethal partnership up front for Bognor last season, bagging a combined 50 goals in all competitions.

It was no coincidence that Muitt's injury in March, followed by Smith's departure to Cork City on loan, led to Rocks falling out of playoff contention and tumbling into the bottom half of the Isthmian Premier.

With Smith now signed on a permanent deal and Lethbridge back on loan from Portsmouth, last weekend's FA Cup game against Sittingbourne saw the trio start a match together for the first time this season.

Rocks boss Jack Pearce could not hide his delight at getting them all back together on the pitch - adding that he believes they form one of the best front lines in the division.

It is now up to the trio to fire the Rocks to success, starting tomorrow with a trip to sixth-placed East THurrock United.

It is not just up front where Pearce is looking for some more attacking flair.

Brazilian midfielder Victor Hensel was on the bench in the 3-0 cup victory - and, with international clearance now through, he could play a big part for the club as the autumn kicks in.

Pearce said: "He has shown some excellent technique during training sessions

and we're hopeful Victor can work hard and bed in well once he gets his chance."

Sao Paulo-born Hensel, 21, spent two seasons with Miami Dade FC and is the club's second-ever highest scorer. He said: "I am excited to sign with the club and I am looking forward to being able to play."

Meanwhile, forward Tyrrel Mitford -

who scored a cracker in the 1-1 draw with Horsham earlier in the campaign - and midfielder Emmett Dunn have both left the club, the latter re-joining Chichester City.

General manager Simon Cook said: "Both players have chosen to move on and we thank them for their efforts and wish them all the very best for the future."

While Sittingbourne are lower league opposition, a 3-0 win is always good. And, if we play like that and control the game in future, then we will not lose many games.

It's crucial that we keep calm at the back as we have the firepower to get some points moving forward.

After the match I wrote to Robbie Blake on Twitter and said that we had the players but perhaps needed a bit of experience to hold it together, especially with the injuries we have at the back.

THe performance against Sittingbourne was much better. We looked a lot more assured on the ball and defensively lot better too.

It wasn't the best of games but it was clear we were a cut above them and, after we got the first, they just didn't have the quality to get back into the game.

For me, Brad Lethbridge was the stand out player. I thought he spurred us one, he got the third goal and just slotted back in really well alongside Dan Smith and Jimmy Muitt up top.

He was the driving force behind the win and I can't wait until he's 100 per cent fit as that will give us a real boost.

At the back, young Ben Clark-Eden is looking better every game he plays and he is proving to be a good find.

Petar Durin also had a good game between the sticks which will do his confidence a world of good.

It was a bit of surprise to see Charlie Searle on the bench

but I expect both keepers to push each other as the season goes on.

Like a lot of Rocks fans, though, I wasn't too happy with the draw we got in the next round of the FA Cup. Dulwich are a very good side, especially at home, as we well know from our tussles with them over the years Obviously, they are a league above us now. I am sure we will give them a decent match but not sure how it will play out.

A lot of fans are saying if we can bring the tie back for a replay that it will be a great result.

Regardless, it will be a good day out and a decent amount of money for the club - nearly £7,000 if we can win - which will all help the club moving forward.

Before that, though, we have two very different matches.

East THurrock away is first up tomorrow. I am not sure how it will go this weekend as they are a very difficult side at beat.

THeir ground is a bit quiet and it is in the middle of nowhere but I know we will try our best.

I am sure Robbie will try and get them playing again the right way and we will make the trip on the coach hopeful of getting a result.

THen we have Cheshunt on Tuesday at home which is a game we should really be looking to win.

THree points in our own back yard will give us a real boost before the Dulwich match.

We need to keep the momentum from our FA Cup success going.
