Labour want city council houses

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

LABOUR district councillors have said they want the council to do more about the housing situation in the city.

Cllr Kevin Hughes and Cllr Sarah Lishman, councillors for Chichester East, tabled a motion regarding affordable housing, noting the average home now costs 13.5 times the average annual pay packet in Chichester.

Cllr Hughes said: "Building more marketprice homes can help lower prices only over the long-term, so more supply alone cannot fix the problem or help thousands of families in Chichester district with the housing pressures they face now.

"Affordable housing is one of the best investments councils can make. Not only does it create a home for a family, and regular income for the council as landlord, it reduces housing benefit spending in the more expensive private rented sector, too."

According to Labour, there are 1,358 households currently on the council's housing register and there are also currently 42 households in council-owned temporary accommodation.

Cllr Norma Graves, cabinet member for housing, said: "We all recognise the difficulties faced by local people trying to secure a home in the district. Housing is a key priority for the council.

"Our corporate plan includes the aim that we will improve the provision of and

access to suitable housing.

"There are two key pieces of work underway that address the issues raised, namely the review of the local plan and the preparation of new housing strategy.

"It will therefore be premature for the council to accept the recommendations made, as council will have the opportunity to debate these issues with all the relevant evidence in front of them at future meetings."

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk AFTER a lengthy campaign by headteachers and West Sussex MPs, schools have secured increased funding.

Gillian Keegan, Chichester’s MP, said she was ‘delighted’ by the Prime Minister’s announcement of an extra £14 billion for schools, the largest single investment since 2010.

Since becoming an MP, Mrs Keegan has been lobbying the Government for increased funding for local schools, along with other West Sussex MPs, for the past two years.

The group has held several meetings with the Minister of State for Schools, and various Secretaries of State for Education.

In a letter to the Chichester MP, Education secretary Gavin Williamson said: "This investment will benefit every school – with particularly significant gains for the lowest funded schools.

"It will ensure that per-pupil funding for all schools can rise at least in line with inflation next year; and faster than inflation for most.

"It delivers on the Prime Minister’s pledge to ensure every secondary school receives at least £5,000 per pupil, and every primary school at least £3,750 next year – putting primary schools on the path to receiving at least £4,000 per pupil the following year.

"Those schools that are already attracting their national funding formula allocations can expect

significant cash increases of four per cent per pupil on average."

In Parliament, Mrs Keegan has called for an increase in funding for local schools that are historically underfunded.

The MP has spoken in several debates highlighting specific areas where funding is needed such as in small, rural, primary schools.

On receiving a letter from the Secretary of State, Mrs Keegan said: "This funding is desperately needed. I have met with almost all of our school headteachers, and I have been echoing their calls for more money to my Government colleagues.

"All of the West Sussex MPs will continue working with the Department for Education to get more detail on our exact settlement, in particular, special educational needs and disability (SEND) funding.

"In a recent letter from the Secretary of State I have been assured that Chichester will particularly benefit from increases. This fight is not over as we still need to secure more funding for Chichester Nursery and our FE College.

I will continue to be a strong voice for our fantastic local schools."

Cllr Louise Goldsmith, leader of West Sussex County Council, said: "I am delighted that our schools are to get this much-needed additional funding.

"We have worked very hard over the years to get the message across that schools in West Sussex are underfunded and this announcement shows that the Government has listened to us."

Farm workers are cleared of raping Bognor woman THREE Romanian farm workers from Chichester have been cleared of raping a 19-year-old Bognor Regis woman after a twoweek trial at Portsmouth Crown Court.

The accused men, Ionel-Mirel Ciocan, 25, Genghiz Iasear, 27, and Madalin-Daniel Nitu, 23, were all based at Groves Fruit Farm, Colworth, Chichester, at the time of the alleged offences on March 9.

During the trial, the jury of nine men and three women heard from 12 witnesses, including the complainant, who said she met Mr Ciocan at Sheik's nightclub on Bognor Regis Pier where

she had been dancing and drinking with friends but became separated from them later.

Prosecuting solicitor Rebecca Austin said the teenager had been in no fit state to consent to sexual acts which took place in an alleyway off Norfolk Street and on the beach.

Mr Ciocan and the other defendants said the sexual acts had been consensual. He had been accused of two counts of rape, as was Mr Nitu. Mr Iasear was accused of three counts of rape.

The jury returned verdicts of not guilty on all the charges.

A good morning call to help those in need

Council amend housing motions From page one

f The team at Bracklesham

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A FREE, new initiative beginning next month and set up by trained and DBSchecked volunteers, aims to address loneliness and vulnerability in older age.

The new scheme in Bracklesham will see a daily phone call to those in need for a chat to see if they are OK. The Witterings, Bracklesham and surrounding villages have a relatively elderly population with many retired, a high proportion of whom have lost their partners and live alone, often far from their families and friends. As a result, there is an increased risk of loneliness and

social isolation.

A request for this service was initiated by local people through the community warden, Drew Allardice, working in partnership with Selsey Community Forum.

The group is also working closely with local groups and the Witterings Medical Centre.

Anybody in need can request a call themselves or refer someone they know and all referrals will be treated in the strictest confidence.

This service will operate from Bracklesham Barn with huge support from East Wittering and Bracklesham Parish Council.

Sam Tate, parish clerk said: "The parish council were delighted to be able to support this invaluable service, which will help to safeguard and protect our most vulnerable residents.

"We are very grateful for the energy and commitment of the dedicated team of volunteers who will be ensuring daily contact and companionship for those who would otherwise be at risk of loneliness and isolation.

"We hope that this inspiring project will be the first of many community-led initiatives that improve the lives of our residents as our parish continues to grow."

For further information please ring 07949704175.

The motions put forward by Cllr Hughes were: 1. Change the council’s definition of affordability to that of the formula used for social rent and intermediate housing, which is pegged to local incomes.

2. Launch a review of our affordable housing target with a view to increasing the minimum in the Local Plan to 40 per cent.

3. In the medium-term, establish a scrutiny panel to examine the viability of setting up a local housing company as an independent, armslength organisation wholly owned by the council and operated on a not-for-profit basis.

4. Commit to building up to 199 council houses, available at affordable rent prices, and for rental income to be ring-fenced to reinvest in housing stock.

Cllr Richard Plowman said: "Back in April, 2018, the government said the housing market was broken and they were trying to do something about it.

"We all appreciate, especially in Chichester, there is no such thing as an affordable house.

"We haven’t talked about people. The people are struggling. Rent is a huge part of their disposable income. I'd like to see some hope for the people there.

I'd like to see us commit in principle."

Two amendments were made to the motions, one by Cllr Adrian Moss and

one by Cllr Graves, which were then amalgamated.

The first recommendation was not to be taken forward as the definition is set down in the national planning policy framework.

Recommendations two and four will be considered as part of the work being undertaken for the local plan review and housing strategy update.

Recommendation three is referred to the overview and scrutiny committee for their consideration.These amendments were agreed.

Labour group leader Cllr Kevin Hughes, has responded to the outcome of the vote.

He said: "The Labour group is disappointed that this opportunity to give hope to the many people struggling with exorbitant private rent has been neutered by a joint amendment from the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats."

"The amendment that passed merely perpetuates the status quo whereby the council is in thrall to the market, which has failed to provide genuinely affordable housing, with property developers still able to dictate policy to the council rather than elected representatives being free to do what is best for their residents."

"However, we do recognise that at least Labour’s motion has pushed the issue up the agenda and we look forward to fighting every inch of the way to get some truly affordable housing in Chichester District."

` Petworth crash POLICE are appealing for witnesses to a road crash near Petworth in which a driver has died.

Just before 3pm on Tuesday, two cars collided on the A283 London Road, north of Petworth. Four people, a man and a woman in each of the cars, were taken to hospital for treatment.

An 83-year-old man driving one of the cars has died and his woman passenger sustained serious injuries.

A woman driving the other car sustained serious injuries and a man who was a passenger sustained minor injuries including cuts and bruises.

Sergeant Mark Farrow, of the Surrey and Sussex road policing unit, said: "We are asking anyone who saw what happened to contact us online or by calling 101, quoting Operation Jericho."

` Police campaign SUSSEX Police are urging road users to pledge their support towards a European-wide campaign.

The force will once again be supporting Project EDWARD (European Day Without A Road Death), which aims to bring casualty reduction and road safety to the forefront of people’s minds.

To support this day and the work carried out by Sussex Police and West Sussex fire and rescue services, and local authorities, members of the public can sign up to the pledge, committing to become a better driver and encouraging friends and family to do the same.

Council's daytime meetings to stay

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk DISTRICT councillors spent around an hour on Tuesday debating the timings of their meetings.

At a full council meeting, members of the council discussed a report which outlined a consultation regarding the timings of meetings.

Divisional manager of democratic services, Mr Nicholas Bennett, gave details of a survey that had been carried out among members. Sixty one per cent felt there should be no change and 21 per cent favoured changing to evening meetings. Eighteen per cent favoured a six-month trial for evening meetings.

Chichester District Council is fairly unique in that it holds meetings during the daytime with cabinet and committee meetings usually starting at 9.30am with full council at 2pm.

Following the May, 2019, elections, some councillors asked whether a change of meeting times could be considered.

During Tuesday afternoon's full council meeting, some councillors argued that those in full-time employment might be put off from standing as a councillor and Cllr Jonathan Brown said he had now had to use 11 days of annual leave to cover daytime meetings.

The district council is the only one in West Sussex which conducts all business during the day and it was suggested that this could also be preventing members

of the public from attending.

Cllr Richard Plowman agreed. He said: "How many younger people, people in jobs, people who we would like to have on this council, are actually put off by the very fact that there were daytime meetings and no evening meetings?

"I do support that we need to look into this in much more detail if we’re ever going to get a council which is representative of the people."

Another Liberal Democrat member who agreed was Cllr Dr Kate O’Kelly who said: "We make better decisions when we represent our community in all its diversity and that includes the young and working age."

The council said they invested a great deal of money and effort into providing live feeds and recordings of its public meetings.

However, while technology meant access to committee meetings had never been better, it remained a right for the public to attend meetings in person.

Council leader Eileen Lintill said she would set up a working group to look at changing things around from 2023.

A suggestion that the change should be made by next May was voted down with some saying it would be unfair to those already elected.

Cllr Lintill said: "I stood for election knowing that it was daytime meetings.

"If I had thought during that four-year period that there were going to be the majority of meetings in the evening, I might well have reconsidered whether I stood or not."

f The store at 40, East Street

Thomas Cook closure sees another empty shop in city EAST STREET in the city centre will see another empty shop after tour operator Thomas Cook closed.

Around 600 of Thomas Cook’s high street stores have shut down after the travel company collapsed following an unsuccessful rescue bid.

The world’s oldest tour operator ceased trading with immediate effect on Monday morning after failing in a final bid to secure a rescue package from creditors.

A sign taped to the inside of the shop window read: "To all our customers.

We are so sorry that we haven't had the chance to say goodbye.

"It's been a pleasure serving you in

Chichester for so many years.

"Best wishes now and for the future."

The note was signed by Jo, Lucie, Sue, Dave and Emily and was pinned next to a formal notice from Thomas Cook which simply stated 'This shop has been closed with immediate effect' and listed a website for customer enquirers.

Alongside its chain of high street stores, the company’s four airlines have been grounded and its 21,000 employees in 16 countries, including 9,000 in the UK, are now unemployed.

Questions over why the council revoked licence for car-free day

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

A FREEDOM of Information Request (FOI) has detailed the reasons for the district council revoking the playing out order for a car-free day.

Jan Cosgrove, who is national secretary of Fair Play for Children, an organisation for the child's right to play sent the FOI to Chichester District Council and listed his questions.

Mr Cosgrove, a former Labour councillor from Bognor Regis, said: "I note the recent press reports relating to this and the cancellation. It is stated that the proposal was approved by the council. I note the event was aimed at providing a play experience for children on International Car Free Day, this is also underpinned by the Government's Street Play initiative and thus official policy."

Mr Cosgrove asked various questions including: "Please specify the threats made without revealing personal data.

"How many threats were made, and how - verbally, in writing etc?

"Were the police informed, did they contact those identified and if so with what result so far as the council is aware?

"The council appears to have given in to threats of unlawful action by individuals, be they residents, traders or others. Why has the council taken this route rather than carrying through its lawful decision?

"What other option was open to the council in terms of supervision, enforcement and working with the

police?"

Mr Nicholas Bennett, divisional manager for Chichester District Council, responded: "The organisers were informed of the decision to revoke the order on September 8, 2019. There had been telephone conversations and face to face conversations in the days prior to the 8th. However, there were concerns that the event required additional assessment as it was wider in scale than a temporary play order.

"A large number of threats were made on social media indicating that more than one person intended to drive up the road even if children were playing and present.

"Police were advised. The council has no information as to police actions in respect of the social media threats.

"While the threats were initially of concern and relevant at the point of revocation, we continued to engage with all parties.

"The council was hoping to be able to have sufficient confidence to reinstate the notice and I entered into several discussions with relevant persons including organiser representatives, local councillors, police, licensing officers and West Sussex County Council highways officers.

"However, in the period after the revocation, I was advised by West Sussex County Council that no traffic management plans had been prepared (an issue which was of heightened concern in light of threats to drive through the area in breach of the order).

"Additionally I was aware that the

event had grown to include elements which are licensable activities under the Licensing Acts and otherwise it was clear to me that the order sought was not the correct order for the type of event being described to me at that point.

"This in turn meant that safety steps needed for the larger type of event being established were not taken and were not capable of being taken prior to the

f Selsey East Beach

Cleaning up at Selsey's beach VOLUNTEERS are being thanked for their part in a successful weekend beach clean at Selsey’s East Beach.

The clean-up and survey took place on Saturday, September 21, during the Marine Conservation Society’s annual Great British Beach Clean, and was organised by Chichester District Council as part of its Selsey Bathing Water Enhancement Project, which is delivered in partnership with Southern Water.

Almost 50 volunteers took part in the beachclean. They surveyed over 2km of beaches and collected 17 bags of rubbish, weighing over 30kg.

Data from this survey will be collated and submitted to the Marine Conservation Society for analysis. The results will highlight any changes in the litter collected from previous years and will be used to help inform future awareness-raising and educational initiatives.

Cllr Penny Plant, cabinet member for environment and Chichester Contract Services, said: "This was a fantastic community event and I was delighted to be a part of it.

"It’s so important that we take care of our beaches, especially after the busy bathing season, and we are very grateful to all of the volunteers who came out to help us protect our local environment and wildlife. Their time, energy, and effort, made this event a real success.

"I would also like to thank the council’s community wardens, the Mulberry Divers, Selsey First Responders, West Sussex County Council’s waste prevention team and Southern Water for supporting the event."

After the two-hour beach-clean, Selsey and District Lions put on a barbecue for all the volunteers, with meat kindly supplied by Selsey butcher, Francis and Sons family butchers.

event."

Mr Cosgrove said: "We always say to children that they must not bully and stand up to bullies. What kind of example is this?

"We need an explanation of why the route of cancellation was taken and why this was the only response to threats apparently made. Three hours is all they asked."

Hospice and university come together to help the bereaved THE UNIVERSITY of Chichester, in association with St Wilfrid’s Hospice, are hosting a conference on Wednesday, October 16, entitled Facing Death and Bereavement – supporting people who have dementia.

It aims to create information and networking opportunities for those working with people with dementia who are facing death and bereavement.

Losing a loved one is a traumatic event - but for those with dementia it can be devastating, confusing and have the potential to complicate their condition.

The day will be made up with workshops, covering spirituality, story-massage, and namaste care and presentations from a number of speakers.

These include Nancy Preston, a Professor of Supportive and Palliative Care at the International Observatory on End of Life Care at Lancaster University, where she is also the programme director for Postgraduate

Studies.

Also speaking is Gayle Henry, the learning and development officer for the Dementia Services Development Centre at the Iris Murdoch Centre.

The event is being organised by Marie Price, a senior lecturer from the University of Chichester’s department of childhood, social work, and social care.

She said: "The effect of trauma from experiences such as bereavement can be heightened in those with dementia.

"Add to that potential communication and behavioural challenges, and it is plain to see that people with dementia need specialist and compassionate support when they are faced with death or bereavement.

"Our conference is a ‘must attend’ opportunity for those who work with people with dementia."

Attendance at the conference costs £70, or £50 for concessions, and includes lunch. Places at the conference can be booked at: store. chi.ac.uk

f Children at Oakwood School

Pupils have a big hair-raising idea

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CHILDREN at Chichester’s Oakwood School have come up with a fun way to start raising money and awareness for their two nominated charities this year.

They are learning to braid hair thanks to local salon, KC Hair Boutique, at a cost of £5 each, with all proceeds going towards The OHMI Trust, which pioneers the development and adaptation of musical instruments for people who are physically disabled, and Sage House – Dementia Support, based in Tangmere.

Each year, the pupils and their families vote for national and local charities to receive support from the school, with children thinking of creative ways to raise funds. Special events have included Design-a-Bug House, cake sales and a photography competition.

The children have presented cheques to representatives (pictured) from last year’s three adopted nominated charities. Sussex Wildlife Trust and Brent Lodge Bird and Wildlife Trust each received £2,236.71 and Hampshire’s Elizabeth House, the UK’s largest provider of education services for

deaf children, received £2,888.96 from proceeds of the Friends of Oakwood Ball.

“Our links with the local community and charities are very close to our everyone’s hearts here at Oakwood,” said headteacher Clare Bradbury. “We welcome visits from the charities for children to find out more about their work and are pleased to have built strong and lasting relationships with the community. This includes our friends at a number of local care homes who the children often visit, and whose residents are invited to join us each year for events such as our summer tea party, harvest festival and community Christmas.

“Oakwood will host Funtington Community Christmas again this year for all who would like to join us on Christmas Day. Please contact the school office on 01243 575 209 if you are interested in volunteering or joining us."

She added: “We are so proud of our pupils for leading our fundraising and for nominating more wonderful charities for the school to support this year. Everyone is very glad to encourage their fundraising efforts – and of course the cake bake sale is always a real treat as we all love to eat cake!”

Pure fashion in city centre to help save shop from closure

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A POPULAR fashion store in the city has held a fashion show in a bid to raise awareness and save itself from closure.

Pure Collection, a women's clothing store in North Street, has been threatened with closure in January by its head office.

Branch manager Suzanne Miller decided to hold a fashion show with the autumn collection to raise awareness of the brand.

Since its launch in 2002, Pure Collection has become one of the largest direct and online retailers of cashmere in the world but the Chichester store could hear next month if the shop will be closing.

One model, 93 year-old Chichester resident, Denise Millward-Oliver said: "I have never modelled in my life. I have been walking up and down the hall.

"I absolutely loved it. I wasn't nervous. I really like the outfit I modelled. I already have one just like it. I really like the skirt.

"We have got to help the shops, I am determined that Pure won't close. I ordered something from Pure online before they opened here and since they have, I have been a customer ever since."

A statement by the chief executive was read out at the show. It read: "Negotiations with the landlord are still ongoing. Our decision to close could still be subject to review. It is very much down to the landlord at the moment."

Suzanne added: "It's been brilliant, so

well supported. We offer 100 per cent customer service and make everyone feel individual.

"We've had around 80 people attend and even had a waiting list where I had to turn people down.

"We also had support from Purchases, CrimsonCraft Audio, Montezumas, Earth, Seed to Bloom and all the staff.

"I'd like to say a big thank you to my team as well."

Sue Scanlon attended the show. She said: "It was excellent. There some real classic looks which I really like.

"My friend

who brought me here today has introduced me to Pure and I must say, I am very impressed."

Sue Simpson, from Bognor Regis, also went along. She said: "It's a good thing to help promote the shop. It would be so sad if it closed down because so many of the really nice shops in Chichester are gone. Something has got to be done to encourage people here. It's a lovely city."

Celebrating the city's canal heritage at centre's opening

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CELEBRATIONS took place on Saturday morning as the city's Canal Trust officially opened their new heritage centre.

On Saturday, September 21, Chichester Canal's refurbished Heritage Centre was formally opened by the Mayor of Chichester, Cllr Richard Plowman, with a backdrop of paddle-boarders and model boats from the Chichester Boat Club.

The event was celebrated by a friendly crowd of invited guests including West Sussex County Council chairman Janet Duncton, Chichester District Council chairman Elizabeth Hamilton and vice-chairman Clare Apel, Chichester Business Improvement District (BID) chairman Colin Hicks, canal members and volunteers.

Cllr Plowman said: "We couldn't ask for a better day. When I was a trustee here, many years ago, we have one Portakabin and we patched it up every year.

"And now, getting the heritage building is just tremendous and it's all down to all the volunteers. It's absolutely wonderful."

Catherine Cannon, joint vicechairman of Chichester Ship Canal Trust, welcomed the crowd and thanked those who had made the refurbishment possible.

She highlighted the importance of the heritage centre as a record of the almost

200-year history of Chichester canal, and the aim that it will be a reference point for visitors, lectures and school parties.

She said: "This is really a record of our history almost 200 years - we couldn't begin to get it all in! It's a space to really share the relevance of the canal to the visitors who come and enjoy what we have here.

"The new displays have really added to the attractions that we are able to offer here at the canal for so many people."

Sue Dixon, trustee at the canal, spoke about how the design and build of the heritage centre was supported and realised by Chichester's local community.

She said: "We found ourselves with five questions to answer. How can we make an area that immediately attracts visitors? How can we ensure that it keeps up with the times? How can we change the displays so there is always something new? How can we up date the information and add to it? And lastly, what do the 21st century generation want from a heritage centre?

"My vision is that the heritage centre will become an information hub for the canal as well as being a venue to attract casual visitors, small parties and adult groups to learn about the wonderful attraction that we have here.

"The heritage centre has been built by the community for the community."

Chichester College incorporated both the design aspect and elements of the

construction into course modules which gave students hands-on experience in both expressing their vision of the heritage centre and a hand in building it.

Aspects of the construction were also undertaken by Building Heroes, an organisation that gives ex-service personnel the opportunity to hone skills for future career changes.

Artist, Jazmine Saunders, who was present at the formal opening, worked closely with canal volunteers to create a colourful mural reflecting the natural beauty of Chichester Canal depicting the canal wildlife. She said: "It's designed to draw you in as you try to find all the different animals."

The trust is delighted that the heritage centre, which will be open now until late-November, has already been well supported.

Cllr Janet Duncton added: "This is a marvellous facility and does a lot for Chichester and its heritage. It's a marvellous effort and I support this and wish them every luck for the future.

It's really, really good."

With the weather now drawing in, it's the perfect time to pop in to have a look around before enjoying a boat trip or having a quiet coffee in the cafe.

Lining city streets for climate strike

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk HUNDREDS of people gathered in the city centre on Friday to take part in a global climate strike.

There were strike events in at least 137 countries and trade unions and workers across the world joined in.

An estimated 200 people turned up at the market cross on Friday and formed a human chain and gave speeches on the climate change emergency and Extinction Rebellion Chichester was there to support them.

Many schools were represented, including Bishop Luffa, Chichester High, Free School, Jessie Younghusband, Chichester College and also Chichester University.

To draw attention to the climate and ecological emergency, from 10am to 4pm, on the hour, for one minute, there was a blast of noise from banging drums, saucepan lids, whistling, shakers and recordings of church bells, followed by speeches from attendees.

The young people spoke of their feelings about the climate and ecological emergency. Many were unscripted and heartfelt, drawing tears of sadness to laughter and joy.

One six-year-old girl said how we should plant more trees and another girl said “you shouldn’t be listening to me, but to the scientists”.

Even some self-described ‘wrinklies’ spoke of how we should be reducing our impact on our beautiful planet.

The atmosphere was more like a festival, so even though the subject matter was serious, the prevailing mood was joyous. Youngsters explained how

they were scared, worried and angry at the legacy bequeathed them by preceding generations.

The variety of home-made placards showed the young people understood what the issues were. From one that said “Science isn’t lying, the planet is dying”, and another that said “Sorry for the fuss.

Trying to save the planet”.

There was even a pink boat with a photo of Greta Thunberg at the helm.

The Red Rebel Beings, representing the blood of the species, also glided into the space while a recording was played of Greta Thunberg saying that “we are in an ecological and climate emergency”, that “we have to acknowledge that older generations have failed”, “but homo sapiens have not yet failed”.

Everyone was implored to “wake up”, “it is time for civil disobedience”, “it is time to rebel”.

Children also got involved with making badges, printing on clothes, poster-making and singing.

A choir sang rousing songs on the theme of the climate emergency.

Lucy Noble, of Extinction Rebellion Chichester, said: “Children are feeling very concerned about the climate and ecological emergency.

"Many of them are far more informed than the adults. It is their future. We must listen to them and persuade the Government to take the

necessary action to keep the planet safe for their future."

Rolls-Royce cars raise over £1.7m

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A MAJOR philanthropic event at the home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood on Saturday raised more than £1.7 million.

Rolls-Royce’s ‘Evelina Art for Allergy x Dine on the Line’ was held in support of allergy research at Evelina London Children’s Hospital.

The star of the show was undoubtedly a Phantom, a collaboration between Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and worldrenowned artist Marc Quinn.

The winning bidder of this headline lot is a valued collector of the marque.

Marc Quinn will now create a bespoke artwork featuring the iris of the winning bidder’s daughter, using Rolls-Royce Phantom as his canvas.

The highly personalised and creative work of art raised an auspicious £888k, with the generous patron excitedly bidding well over £1 million in total during the course of the evening.

The artwork takes inspiration from Quinn’s on-going series of iris paintings, named We Share Our Chemistry with the Stars.

Torsten Müller-Ötvös, chief executive, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said: "RollsRoyce is deeply privileged to have worked with Evelina London on this exceptional event.

"We are thrilled that Marc Quinn’s artwork, using Phantom as the canvas, raised a fabulous £888,000 and are humbled that nearly £2 million was raised in total throughout the evening for this centre of medical excellence in London."

Commenting on the difference the donations will make, Professor Gideon Lack, Evelina London added: "The generous donations from the Art for Allergy event will make a dramatic difference to our research programme and to our mission to prevent allergies, to protect against allergies, and to ultimately cure allergies in children.

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the team at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and event co-chairs Kate Storey and Marc Quinn for providing us with a fantastic platform to highlight the importance of our research and raise these significant funds.

"I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of the guests, contributing artists and auction prize donors, without whom this achievement would not have been possible."

Other phenomenal auction lots attracted substantial bids. Works by some of the world’s most soughtafter artists included works by British artists Jake and Dinos Chapman, David Yarrow, Harland Miller and Mary McCartney.

Proceeds generated from the auction will be donated to Evelina London to fund vital allergy research.

The evening included an exquisite and immersive dining experience, where guests enjoyed a menu carefully curated by world-renowned chef, Giorgio Locatelli.

Following the auction, singersongwriter John Newman entertained guests, before DJ Fat Tony closed out an extraordinary evening of philanthropy.

GUY PINK, an associate lecturer at Chichester College, was among the top 10 ‘Movers and Shakers’, as listed

by HR Magazine.

The magazine describes the list as ‘designed to reflect the way senior HR practitioners exert influence’ and it recognises their work through consultancy as well as the way they share their expertise.

Guy, a portfolio careerist, teaches modules to students on the Post Graduate Diploma in HR Management and has more than 30 years’ experience, working for a mix of public and not-for-profit organisations.

Guy said: "It’s always an honour to be recognised by industry colleagues and, having taken a different career path, it is a bit of a surprise!

"To be listed among the most influential ‘movers and shakers’ is an acknowledgement that although I may no longer be a practitioner, I’m still making a difference in the sector.

"I’m in a privileged position to be able to share my experience, through consultancy, writing for publications and lecturing at the college."

Guy was also nominated by his students for an inspirational teacher award at the college, demonstrating the difference he is making in the classroom.

Hilary Hele, head of learning for business at Chichester College, said: We are delighted to count one of HR Magazine’s most influential people among our lecturing staff.

"Guy is a valuable member of the team and is highly respected within the HR world – as this amazing accomplishment reflects."

Food and folk at Brick Kiln Brick Kiln Nursery & Garden Centre Bognor Road, Merston, Chichester PO20 1EJ Tel: 01243 756175 Email: info@brickkilngardencentre. co.uk www.brickkilngardencentre.co.uk

THERE'S nothing like a good sing-song to make you feel cheerful and with a plate of good food in front of you, too, what more could you ask for?

How about sitting in a light, airy cafe surrounded by the flowers and plants of

a friendly, top-value garden centre?

That's what's on the menu on the last Tuesday of each month when Brick Kiln Garden Centre, conveniently sited on the Bognor-Chichester road and with a large, free car park, hosts a series of folk singers to entertain customers eating

lunch, from noon to 2pm.

In September, Tom Lewis set feet a-tapping and heartstrings tugging with his programme of songs of the sea, many of which he wrote after his time as a Royal Navy submariner. Now, following in his wake, are The Portsmouth Shanty Men. Tom himself was an early member of the close-harmony group which was originally formed in 1978, at the request of the organisers of Christchurch Folk Festival.

In those dim and distant days, most festivals ran shanty singarounds as part of the pub session scene and that year the group booked to host the Christchurch sessions had to pull out at very short notice. Rather than cancel the sessions outright, organisers contacted club organisers in Portsmouth, reasoning (falsely as it turned out) that as the south coast’s premier naval base, the city would have a strong tradition of shanty singing.

The word was quickly passed around the Portsmouth clubs and various resident singers were asked to help out in return for a free festival ticket. Thus it was that a motley crew, including Sooty Broughton, Tom Lewis, Bernard Potter, Brian Dennett, Nick Gough and Brian Ingham arrived in Christchurch on a sunny Friday evening to find themselves billed as The Portsmouth Shanty Men. Since then, the personnel has changed but 40 years on, with a huge number of performances at festivals, clubs and other live gigs, plus an EP under their belts as the popularity of shanties revived, The Portsmouth Shanty Men has never looked back.

They have also extended their range

and by no means restrict themselves to shanties and songs of the sea. They have a wide variety of land-based songs in their repertoire - if it can be harmonised they’ll give it a go.

The Portsmouth Shanty Men will be at Brick Kiln Garden Centre on Tuesday, October 22, noon-2pm. Tables can be booked.

Live music features regularly on other days at the cafe, including jazz and keyboard players. For the full entertainment programme, visit the website at brickkilngarden centre.co.uk

It's a dogs life as Boxgrove host 20th annual dog show at village

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

rottweilers, golden DALMATIANS, retrievers, border collies and huskies were all crowned top dogs at this year's annual Boxgrove Dog Show.

The show, now in its 20th year, held many classes, including pedigree classes with puppies, juniors, gundogs, utilities, terriers, ad working and pastoral.

There were also novelty classes with veteran, best rescue, local dog (within five miles of Boxgrove), prettiest bitch, waggiest tail, fancy dress and dog or bitch most like its owner.

Obedience classes were split into four categories - triers (dog or handler never to have been placed in any obedience competition before), starters (dog or handler not to have been placed first any obedience competition before), improver (dog or handler not to have won out of novice in any obedience competition) and advanced (open to all).

Within the groups there were classes including heel on lead, recall, one minute stay down, half minute sit and stay, retrieve own article and heel free.

Kathy Rayner and her dog Wilf travelled from Winchester to attend the show.

Kathy has had Wilf since he was five months old and although she thinks he is a Portugeue water dog, she said she is going to get him DNA-tested and find out for definite.

She said: "It's great here, I have really enjoyed it.

"I would definitely come again. I have

been to other fun dog shows, probably around six to eight this year.

"I am really pleased that Wilf got a first.

He has a wall at home with rosettes on it so I can add this one to it."

Ian and Cheryl Wilson took their tenand-a-half-year-old Golden Retriever, Indie, to the show after they completed the sale on their new house in Halnaker just the day before.

The couple had moved down from Hertfordshire to be closer to their daughter and Cheryl's mother.

She said: "We have loved it here today.

We have had a fantastic time. There are lots of other dogs here and my elderly mother who is 94 has come along and also loved it.

"It's a good family day out so we have our daughter here, too, and the grandchildren.

"Indie won the most handsome dog which we are really pleased about as there around 34 other dogs in the class.

We only came for fun and thought we would pop him in a couple of classes but we thought he was too old really!"

Organiser Sylvia Hubbard said: "Our 20th Boxgrove Companion Dog Show was blessed with a perfect sunny warm day,happy smiley people,and dogs,and a wonderful atmosphere.

"With more than 200 dogs entered in the 26 classes we were pleased to welcome entrants from different parts of Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.

"Grateful thanks to our talented judges who were kept busy all day.

"The 'Have a Go agility course' was in use all day, with clear round winners proudly

Dear Editor Along with many others, I can say, with some vehemence, that we are extremely disappointed to have had the licence for the Car Free Day event revoked.

At such short notice and amid such confusion, we have had no choice but to cancel the event which was only due to run from 12.30pm-3.30pm.

This highly unprofessional approach on the part of Chichester District Council to what could have been an entertaining and inclusive day is deeply disappointing.

Many of us have given our time voluntarily for many months to do something different for Chichester to bring people of all ages together, to promote business for the South Street shops but above all, to make a stand against the pollution from cars which is contributing to the current crisis of climate change.

This is International Car Free Day and a missed opportunity to stand in solidarity alongside other councils.

Dear Editor, The Extinction Rebellion followers who gathered around the Cross in Chichester last Friday are so concerned about the environment, as well as climate change, that they daubed much of the centre of the city with graffiti, some of which is still visible, and plastered the windows of empty retail outlets and the walls of the Northgate underpass with their paper posters made, no doubt, from felled trees.

Don't any of them understand the irony of such actions?

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK

Sept 27- Oct 3 LOVERS of Downton Abbey, rejoice! The upstairs-downstairs saga sees residents and staff in a tizzy preparing for the imminent arrival of the King and Queen. Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) is worried about the mark on the carpet in the Blue Room, and the Earl (Hugh Bonneville) has mislaid the letter-opener with the regimental crest. The weather has turned beastly, the boiler is on the blink and Mr Barrow has bad news about the silverware: “We haven’t done the final buffing-up.” Lady Mary jumps into action, pops on her best cloche hat and pleads with the retired Mr Carson (Jim Carter) to return to Downton. Maggie Smith is her acid best as a dowager who never opens her mouth unless she can be sure of offending at least a clutch of people.

Enjoy!

In contrast comes a more modern world in A Million Little Pieces. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is (real, controversial author) James Frey, a 20-something alcoholic and crack addict, and a wanted man in three states, who has just woken up on an airplane with cuts and bruises and zero recollection of how he got there. His brother, Bob (Charlie Hunnam), drives him to a private rehabilitation centre in Minnesota, all the normal messy, shivery, violently angry ground covered in rehab, but it benefits from an unexpectedly warm heart which also stars Billy Bob Thornton, always a major plus.

For a bit of light relief from France, look no further than The Shiny Shrimps. No one expects to cry during a film about water polo, non? But such is the strange, galvanising spirit of The Shiny Shrimps which remoulds the underdog sports film into a celebration of solidarity within the LGBT+ community. Dubbed “the worst team in gay sporting history,” they couldn’t really care less about winning, they're just in it for a good time.

But their new coach, a homophobe, has different ideas.

In The Mustang, Matthias Schoenaerts gallops to superstardom as a violent inmate who is tasked with taming a horse in Laure de ClermontTonnerre’s daring debut. The Belgian actor is a tour de force in this grounded, gutsy drama set in a maximum-security prison in Nevada where violent prisoners bond with wild mustangs as part of a rehabilitation programme. Also starring Bruce Dern. Robert Redford is executive producer of this electrifying film.

This week’s stunning bi-monthly Ruby Tuesday film to celebrate the installation of Digital Cinema in 2012 is no less than the epic, opulent The Leopard, directed in 1962 by Luchino Visconti, all tickets £2.

Performance Events: Don’t miss Fleabag (NT Encore, Sept 28); Pavarotti (Sept 29) or Plácido Domingo (Oct 2) nor the cinema’s strong education department’s The Films of Quentin Tarantino, a day course on September 28 with clips including Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs from the controversial writer-director-actor’s extensive career.

NEW RELEASE

The Goldfinch Drama

Screened at Picturedrome Cinema FROM the BAFTA-winning director of Brooklyn, comes an adaptation of Donna Tartt’s globally acclaimed best-selling novel, which won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for excellence in fiction. Theodore “Theo” Decker was 13 years old when his mother was killed in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The tragedy changes the course of his life, sending him on a stirring odyssey of grief and guilt, reinvention and redemption, and even love.

Through it all, he holds on to one tangible piece of hope from that terrible day...a painting of a tiny bird chained to its perch: The Goldfinch. Baby Driver’s Ansel Elgort stars as Theo Decker, alongside Academy award-winner Nicole Kidman as Mrs Barbour, who lead a multi-generational cast that also stars Oakes Fegley as young Theo, Aneurin Barnard as Boris, and Finn Wolfhard as young Boris, with Sarah Paulson, Luke Wilson, and Jeffrey Wright rounding off an all-star ensemble cast.

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, 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.

MUST

Ace 21

!

SEE the hilarious, award-winning, onewoman show that inspired the BBC's hit TV series Fleabag, broadcast live to cinemas from London's West End. Written and performed by Phoebe WallerBridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life.

Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.

Playing to sold-out audiences in New York and London, don't miss your chance to see this 'legitimately hilarious show' (New Yorker), broadcast live to a cinema near you.

First up is the the film Inna De Yard on October 4, a portrait of a group of pioneering reggae musicians, capturing the ongoing relevance of reggae and its social values, and the music's passion to revitalise an older generation while passing it on to younger listeners.

A day course, South Africa on Trial, on October 19, has two outstanding speakers as guests - Gavin Fischer, a great-nephew of Bram Fischer, who represented Nelson Mandela and eight co-defendants in a trial which changed South Africa, and history buff Kevin Ashman.

The talks will be illustrated with film clips and the event will include a showing of the

documentary, The Rivonia Trial.

Do the Right Thing will be shown on October 21. Described as smart, vibrant and urgent, this is Spike Lee's most fully realised film - and one of the most important films of the 1980s.

Another documentary, Life is Wonderful, a new film about the Rivonia trial and its effect on the apartheid regime in South Africa, was directed by former high court judge Sir Nick Stadlen.

He will be at the cinema on October 25 to answer questions from the audience after the screening.

The same day, The Last Tree, a powerful focus on the crisis in black masculinity, told through the three-part story of a Nigerian boy growing up in Britain, will be shown.

Finally, a day course by Richard Cupidi on black American cinema, on October 26, will be an informal workshop, illuminating the rise, struggle and legacy of black American filmmakers.

More detailed information and booking details are on the cinema's website at: chichestercinema.org or by call the box office on 01243 786650.

COMEDIAN and actor Tony Hancock's 1963 film, The Punch and Judy Man, which was shot on location in Bognor Regis, will be available for anyone to buy, on Blu-ray, DVD + Amazon Video, from Monday.

Hundreds of the town's residents responded to the director's request for extras to be in the film, the second feature starring Hancock who had risen to fame through his radio and television sitcom series.

In The Punch and Judy Man, Bognor Regis stands in for the faded seaside town of Piltdown with Hancock starring as puppeter Wally Pinner, as well as being co-writer in the bitter-sweet comedy of small-town snobbery and one-upmanship which co-starred Sylvia Syms and featured Barbara Murray, Ronald Fraser, John Le Mesurier and Hugh Lloyd.

Among scenes which today's residents will

recognise are the pier and the town hall, alongside other areas such as Spencer Street, Belmont Street, and York Road, beside the Esplanade and Royal Hotel.

Following the success of The Rebel, and seeking a more international audience, Hancock split with Galton and Simpson over proposed feature film projects he thought unsuitable for him - one being the unearthed complete screenplay for ‘The Day Off’ found in Galton’s cellar in 2010. Subsequently, he went on to star in his second and final starring role in The Punch and Judy Man. Never before released on Blu-ray, The Punch and Judy Man and Hancock's first feature, The Rebel, are available as new high definition transfers from the original film elements in their original theatrical aspect ratios.

They are released as part of The British Film collection which boasts a plethora of British comedies including Powell & Pressburger’s Oh… Rosalinda!, The Likely Lads, Man About the House, Till Death Us Do Part, No Kidding, There Was A Crooked Man.

Q Hair and Beauty 37 North St, Chichester PO19 1LX Tel: 01243 781585 www.qhairandbeauty.co.uk A PIONEERING scheme that will benefit the next generation of stylists and offer people the utmost in top-class hairdressing on a budget is proving enormously popular at Chichester’s premier salon.

Affordable luxury is the key element on Wednesday each week at Q Hair and Beauty, in North Street. From just £10.50, guests can take advantage of the opportunity to have their hair styled by one of the salon’s enormously talented future professionals, closely supervised by highly-qualified educators.

This weekly offering encompasses the utmost in professionalism, creativity and cutting-edge techniques, at prices that see guests return again and again.

The very best of training is at the heart of Q’s philosophy to develop as much home-grown talent as possible and each Wednesday, appointments are available with the already-skilled apprentices who will give you a fantastic cut and blowdry, fully supervised along every step of the way by one of Q’s own qualified educators.

You’ll meet some of the hairdressing stars of the future and see these

BEAUTY

enthusiastic and talented youngsters create stunning styles just for you. These apprentices are learning to master the utmost in professionalism and have been carefully chosen and recruited for their enormous potential and dedication to forging a successful career in the highlycompetitive hairdressing industry.

It’s a chance to enjoy the splendid Q experience first hand at an incredibly low price, yet receive the same impeccable quality of service that is a byword at Chichester’s multi-award-winning salon.

The same superb service, together with the affordable prices, are also available at Q’s sister salons in Midhurst and Donnington.

This highly-affordable midweek treat is a boon for students and other youngsters who have to keep a close eye on their spending as well as people of all ages who love a genuine bargain!

Q has also taken on four beauty apprentices who offer the same level of supervised excellence for beauty treatments as well as a brilliant and affordable nail bar throughout the week.

Apprenticeships are regarded as an enormously valuable asset and very wise long-term investment at Q, one of Chichester’s longest-established and most successful businesses.

The award-winning salon has an impressive history of developing its own

home-grown talent.

“We have been offering apprenticeships for more than 30 years and have grown our business year-on-year using the benefits of this,” said Dawn Lawrence Grant, managing director of the multiaward-winning salon in North Street.

“Eleven of our 13 current stylists have come through our apprenticeship programme, a huge 85 per cent!”

The benefits of the programme are that the apprentices learn at a faster pace, dealing with real-life situations, earning while they learn, with Q providing personal training and education to promote growth and personal development.

“Every single apprentice that we take on has a guaranteed permanent contract waiting for them at the end if they complete the course,” said Dawn. “We are proud to offer this and help younger people in the Chichester area a chance to start a career with us, the right way.

“The growth in criteria for apprenticeships is viewed positively by us, as having that criteria means that we are losing the stigma of ‘you’re not academic, be a hairdresser’ as this is so far from the truth. You have to be prepared to work for it and put the effort in when it matters.

“That is not to say that if you have a natural flair, but struggle academically,

that you won’t be taken. If you have the drive and passion, we will find a way.

Losing that stigma is only a good thing for our industry.”

Q has developed a strong relationship with Chichester College which provides excellent training for both the Year 1 and Year 2 students who offer the salon’s affordable luxury treatments each Wednesday under expert supervision until they graduate.

I have written about Reiki, this week I am writing about Soul Midwifery What a life! We are all so busy. There is much to do with work, family, home life, friends and having fun.

We make plans; sometimes life is good, sometimes it is not. We make our choices and carry on, hoping for the best and bracing ourselves when

things go wrong. Life, we believe, is for living and most of us do it very well.

But when someone close to us, or when we ourselves, find that this life we take so much for granted is limited, perhaps by illness, perhaps by accident, everything changes.

Suddenly, we are not certain of anything. Not even of the future.

One certainty in life is that it will end. But until we lose someone close to us, we don’t give it a thought. We imagine we will go on for ever. When

we are faced with the reality of dying, it can be very hard indeed to know what to think, do or say.

A soul midwife is an end of life companion. We are holistic, compassionate, supportive and without judgment, and this is where we step forward.

Often, the professional medical world is confusing, and we feel there is no time to really talk about what is happening, sometimes we feel no one is listening. No one is letting us say what we really want to say, what is

Poor uptake of regular eye tests, once every two years unless advised otherwise by your optometrist, is also a big risk factor for unnecessary sight loss as the early detection and treatment of common eye conditions like glaucoma is essential to avoid irreversible sight loss.

Sight and Sound 5 High Street, Bognor Regis PO21 1RQ Tel: 01243 823144 www.sightandsound.org.uk EYE health experts marked National Eye Health Week (September 23 – 29) with a stark warning that a million people in the UK are living with avoidable sight loss severe enough to have a significant impact on their daily lives – leaving them unable to do things such as drive.

Worryingly, this number is forecast to rise by 30 per cent by 2030, if we don’t take action now.

National Eye Health Week chairman

David Cartwright explained: “Eyesight declines as part of the natural ageing process and some cases of sight loss are still sadly unavoidable but for many simply going for regular eyes tests and adopting a healthier lifestyle could prevent sight loss having a significant impact on our lives and help people to live well for longer.”

Your lifestyle can have an impact on the health of your eyes, regardless of your genetic predisposition.

Being physically active has been shown to reduce your risk of visual impairment by 58 per cent versus somebody with a sedentary lifestyle, while ditching a diet high in meat – more than 3.5oz daily (the equivalent

In fact, there are an estimated 300,000 people living in the UK with undiagnosed glaucoma because they have not had a recent eye test.

Research published in the British Medical Journal reveals as many as one in five cases of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the UK’s leading cause of blindness, are caused by tobacco consumption, making smoking directly responsible for around 120,000 cases of AMD in Britain today.

There is also growing evidence to suggest that what we eat and drink can play a role in triggering the onset and progression of AMD. One research study has shown that eating just one portion of fish a week could reduce your risk of developing AMD by as much as 40 per cent, while

National Eye Health Week Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital 78 Broyle Road, Chichester, PO19 6WB Tel: 01243 884553 www.nuffieldhealth.com TO MARK National Eye Health Week, we spoke to three of Nuffield Health’s leading ophthalmologists about the importance of taking care of your eyesight.

The eye health awareness campaign, between September 23 - 29, has been encouraging people to have regular examinations and become more aware of common eye problems.

Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital is home to a large group of experienced ophthalmologists who specialise in treating a wide range of eye care issues.

These include cataracts, which is when the lens in the eye develops cloudy patches and glaucoma, a condition that causes damage to the optic nerve in the eye. The specialist team can also assist with various eye cancers.

In addition, the hospital treats macular degeneration, a disease that affects the middle part of a person’s vision.

Explaining more about this problem, Patel Gordon-Bennet, consultant ophthalmologist at Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital, said: “Macular degeneration is an eye condition that affects us as we get older. If macular degeneration is detected and treated early, blindness can be prevented.

Symptoms to look out for are distortion of the central vision or blurring of the vision.

"There are some preventive measures that can also be taken to minimise

visual damage from this condition, such as having a healthy diet and taking vitamins.”

Speaking generally about the importance of eye health, Cornelia Poitelea, consultant ophthalmologist at Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital, commented: “Eye health is extremely important, but unfortunately many of us are unaware of how to take care of our vision.

"Looking after your eyes is a priority at any stage of your life but is even more so as we age, when the chances of developing cataracts, glaucoma, periocular skin cancer and age-related macular degeneration increases.

“It is also essential to pay extra attention to your vision now the nights are beginning to draw in and it becomes darker outside earlier.

"Many people are unaware they are not meeting the legal driving standards of the DVLA, purely because they just assume their eyesight is fine. This is why it is so important to get your eyes checked regularly.”

Khin Maung Nyunt, consultant ophthalmologist at Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital, added: “Most of the time you can prevent eye problems via various lifestyle choices, such as avoiding smoking and heavy drinking.

It is also recommended you wear sunglasses when spending time outside, as excessive sun exposure is one of the main causes of eye lid cancers. Any suspicious skin lesions around the eyes should be checked as early as possible for effective treatment.

“If you develop an eye problem,

As we age, diminishing vision is one of the greatest threats to our quality of life, so it’s important to have the best guidance at hand to find the right solution for you.

At Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital our experienced Ophthalmologists specialise in a wide range of eye care treatments that can help restore your eyesight using our state-of-the-art ophthalmic equipment.

Below are just some of the conditions our eye experts can help treat: • Cataract surgery • Retinal conditions (Macular Degeneration) • Glaucoma treatment • Oculoplastics (adult squint and eyelid surgery)

FREEZE YOUR FAT AWAY!

FREEZING IS THE NEW ANSWER TO REMOVING STUBBORN BODY FAT! A new answer to the problem of stubborn body fat which diet and exercise can’t shift has come across the Atlantic in the form of cryolipolysis.

Now available in the UK, this method of body sculpting is a non-invasive means of removing fat in certain areas by freezing it so that it disappears naturally through excretion, allowing contours to be reshaped once fat has been removed.

The treatment, which has to be applied by a fully-trained practitioner using professional equipment, involves controlled application of cooling within the temperature range of -11C to +5C. Fat cells are more easily damaged by cooling than skin cells and cryolipolysis was developed to apply low temperatures to tissue via thermal conduction.

The techniques have been much researched in the USA and declared safe. They have been cleared by the Federal Drugs Agency (FDA) for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental area, thigh, abdomen and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks, and upper arm.

While the process is not fully understood, it appears that fatty tissue cooled below body temperature, but above freezing, undergoes localized cell death (“apoptosis”) followed by

a local inflammatory response that gradually, over the course of several months, results in a reduction of the fatty tissue layer.

The procedure begins with a full assessment of the client’s wishes and what can be achieved through a course of treatment. At the first full session, cooling gel and pads are applied to the area, or areas, from where the fat can be removed and when the machine is switched on a specific temperature and length of time will be set - typically about 30-40 minutes for each area.

Massage of the treated area helps to relieve any slight side effects such as local redness, bruising and numbness of the skin, all of which subside within a few days.

SUMAC IS THE SECRET INGREDIENT in endless Middle Eastern mezzes, salads, rice dishes, stews, and kebabs

Spicing things up with a bit of sumac www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@thewellbeingcompanyltd. com YOU may be familiar with this incredible spice, but if not listen up!

This ancient herb Sumac is made from ruby coloured berries that are ground into a beautiful, coarse powder that bursts with colour and flavour and has been under stated for centuries.

If you grew up in a Middle Eastern household, however, you probably have more familiar knowledge of this super spice.

It’s known as a souring agent that’s a fantastic substitute for lemon or vinegar, and is great to use on kebabs, fish or chicken. It’s been used to add tangy, fresh flavours in Lebanese, Syrian, Armenian, and Iranian cooking for many years and

you could not walk through a street food marketplace without seeing it everywhere around you.

You see, Sumac is the secret ingredient in endless Middle Eastern mezzes, salads, rice dishes, stews, and kebabs. It’s also the primary element and focal point of za’atar, a very popular and timeless MiddleEastern spice blend of sumac, oregano, thyme, sesame seeds, and marjoram.

And thanks to its beautiful, rich, deep red colour, sumac is the perfect finishing touch for dips, vegetables, grains, and more.

It’s so simple to use. Just sprinkle it on rice, grains, salads, and any type of flat breads. You can also add it vegetables, eggs, or incorporate it into roasted nuts.

You can rub this delicious spice on meat, fish, or poultry before you cook to add an amazing tantalizing flavour, and a power kick of health enhancing

Sumac is one of the most powerful antiinflammatory spices out there

substance to all your dishes.

What can it do for your health?

Sumac is one of the most powerful antiinflammatory spices out there, so introducing this potent spice to your regular cooking can increase your immune system, which let’s face it this time of year, needs all the help it can get. It's packed with anti-oxidants, which boost your body’s ability to get rid of free radicals that can cause cancer and heart disease.

Would you also like to ward off signs of aging? Well Sumac can be of benefit to help you stay looking young! It’s also be extremely beneficial for those with type 2 diabetes, because it helps reduce blood

sugar levels and it’s also effective in regulating cholesterol levels and may even reduce bone loss.

Daily intake of Sumac, according to studies, for three months or more, will lower the risk of cardiovascular disease among people with type 2 diabetes, and can help with muscle pain and tension.

CommunityNews&Views NODDY

NEWS DID YOU know that the RSPCA is approaching its 200-year anniversary?

As an organisation, it is the biggest rescuer of cats, dogs and horses in England and Wales. RSPCA Sussex Chichester and district branch supports the work of the RSPCA in the area and although we don’t currently look after our largest and smallest friends, we have so far this year re-homed 145 cats and 55 dogs. In order to be able to continue our work and get animals into loving new homes we need, you guessed it, you!

Animals that come into the RSPCA Mount Noddy Animal Centre have usually been signed over by a previous owner, and quite often this is not a reflection of the owner or animal, just an unfortunate change of circumstances. Without people coming in to the centre, willing to take care of an RSPCA animal, our work would grind to a halt. We are hoping to increase awareness this year with a month-long campaign through October called ‘Adoptober’. The aim of Adoptober is to get as many of our animals into loving new homes as possible. We will be alternating between our resident cats and dogs throughout the month, with particular focus on our longer stay animals.

Right, I know what you are thinking, longer stay - alarm bells!

As an organisation, we do sometimes receive animals that have had a tough start. The RSPCA has always been there for the most vulnerable and because of that some of our animals do require extra special homes. Often this means we are looking for particular environment or for the new home to have particular experience to meet the specific needs of that animal, and this is because we don’t want to see the animal back at the centre for their welfare and, of course, the adopters' welfare too.

Toyah is a perfect example of a longer stay animal having been at the centre for 22 weeks. She is an energetic, intelligent German Shepherd, looking for a calm and quiet household in a semirural location ideally. She does show signs that she is worried by meeting new people, so adopters will need to be prepared to spend time working with the centre staff getting to know her.

Because she is a bit worried by new people any potential new homes should be prepared to put in some simple measures in the home when they expect visitors. Centre staff can provide support with this before and after each adoption.

It’s not all work and no play though. Once she knows you, Toyah has so much love to give and really enjoys cuddles, a groom and, of course, play-time. Toyah is affectionate, comical and intelligent would make a fantastic dog for real German Shepherd enthusiasts, with a keen interest in dog training.

If you are currently looking for a furry friend, then keep your eyes peeled on our social media pages. We will be posting regular updates on our Facebook page @RSPCASCDB and Instagram @ RSPCA_Mount_Noddy If you are currently not looking to re-home you could help by simply giving us a follow or sharing posts to spread the word.

We are always grateful for people to get involved in volunteering for us. Dog walking and cat cuddling opportunities are always open, and after an induction you will be ready to go. We are hoping to recruit more fostering volunteers over the next few months too. Please get in touch if you are interested in becoming involved.

A FORMER bodybuilder trainer has made a late career change into care after looking after her sick parents in their final years.

Amanda Duffy works as a care and support worker for Caremark Chichester, which provides personalised home care and support to older, less able or otherwise vulnerable people in the city and surrounding area.

For many years, she advised bodybuilders on their health, fitness and nutrition needs, helping many to win competitions all over the country.

However, everything changed when her elderly father had a stroke, leaving him with mobility difficulties. Amanda visited her parents’ house every day to help her mother bathe and dress her partner, take him on trips and assist with chores.

After Amanda’s father sadly passed away, her mother developed a range of debilitating health conditions and needed round-theclock care.

"My mother needed me, so I moved in and looked after her in much the same way as I did my father," said Amanda.

"It could be challenging as there was little respite, but my mother always said she appreciated me."

Amanda’s experiences were emotional but ignited a passion for care, so she joined Caremark in January, 2019, after her mother passed away. Now, she visits vulnerable customers every day, helping them to regain and retain their independence in their own homes.

Amanda continued: "I might be the only person some of my customers see each day, so it feels wonderful to make a difference in their lives. They might be elderly or frail, but many of them have led amazing lives and I love listening to their stories."

Caremark’s manager, Ellie Chapman, added: "We treasure care and support workers like Amanda and are currently hiring. A career in care is incredibly rewarding and offers a sense of job satisfaction like no other, so if this interests you get in touch!"

ChangingTimes Exciting excavations at Boxgrove Contributed by

Tel: 01243 775888 | www.thenovium.org.uk

By Dr Matt Pope, Principal research fellow in palaeolithic archaeology, University College London and Amy Roberts, collections officer, The Novium Museum BETWEEN 1982 and 1999, rescue excavations were carried out on the site of a quarry (Eartham Pit) located in Boxgrove in advance of proposed sand and gravel extractions.

Archaeologist Mark Roberts led a team from the Institute of Archaeology at University College London.

The archaeology was found to date to a warm period about 480,000 years ago and provides wonderful insights into the life of some of the early settlers of northern Europe.

At this time a temperate climate allowed animals such as elephant, lion and rhinoceros to live in Britain.

Over the course of the investigations, 95 individual locations were examined. These investigations brought to light some very interesting activity on the site.

Although stone tools from this period are found elsewhere, what makes this site so significant is the excellent array of artefacts, animals and human remains found within a well preserved landscape.

This gives us a unique insight into the life of a now extinct human species (Homo heidelbergensis). What is most astonishing is that many of the artefacts recovered were found exactly where they were discarded around half a million years ago, including tens of thousands of waste flakes from knapping (process of shaping flint tools) of tools such as

hand axes, which provides evidence for how flint tools were made.

Area GTP17 (Geological Test Pit 17), dubbed ‘The Horse Butchery Site’ contained evidence (artefacts and animal bone) relating to a single occurrence of horse butchery, which may have spanned just a few hours. At the site a group of hominins manufactured and modified hand axes, using them to process the carcass of a large horse.

Q1/B known as ‘The Waterhole Site, The Hominin Locality’ was a large area of the former quarry excavated from 1993 to 1996.

The area revealed a series of deposits which relate to a spring fed pool.

These pools were situated within relatively open grassland and dated to the end of the warm interglacial period. These pools were attractive to a wide variety of game, and these drew the attention of hominins.

The concentration of activity, over perhaps a number of years, was evident from the large concentration of thousands of flint artefacts, including several hundred hand axes.

Alongside these hand axes were the remains of mammal bones and teeth, many of which showed butchery marks.

The excavations showed that the landscape supported a wide array of wildlife including wild cat, wolf, lion, hyenas, bear, deer, horse, bison, elephant, rabbit, badgers, beavers,

A fossilised tibia (shinbone) belonging to Homo heidelbergensis, an extinct relative of modern-day humans was discovered.

birds, rodents and much more.

Towards the end of the initial investigations in 1993, a remarkable discovery was made.

A fossilised tibia (shinbone) belonging to Homo heidelbergensis, an extinct relative of modern-day humans was discovered.

This prompted the continuation of the ‘Boxgrove Project’ with funding from English Heritage. The tibia, which was the only postcranial (i.e. not part of the skull) bone of Homo heidelbergensis to have been discovered in northern Europe, led specialists to believe the individual was of a very strong build, standing over 1.8m (5ft 10) in height and weighing over 80kg. In 1995 two hominin incisors from a second individual were also discovered.

The tibia shows signs of having been gnawed by a carnivore of some kind. While it is not known whether the individual was specifically preyed upon or simply caught the attention of a scavenger after their death, what this does show is that the remains could be scattered over a large area and further human fossils may still be present in the ground.

The two incisors, found within just a few meters of each other, belonged to a single individual. They come from a different hominid to that of the tibia who had lived at a slightly later time.

They showed signs of severe gum disease, as well as traces of small cut marks on the

surface, the same as those found on other butchered bones across the site. Rather than cannibalism, however, this has been interpreted as a repeated activity by the individual involving the use of flint tools close to the mouth and may have related to food processing.

Another striking discovery made during excavations in 1995 was that of an antler from a now extinct giant deer which had been utilised as a soft hammer or making the finely crafted hand axes. Small pieces of flint had become embedded into the surface of the antler.

This soft hammer might be one of the earliest antler tools of its kind and reflects the sophisticated use of an elastic material, perfect for making thin cutting tools.

In 1997, part of the site was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. In 2003, the site was purchased by English Heritage.

Due to their national importance, the material excavated including the tibia and teeth from Boxgrove are now at the British Museum and the Natural History Museum, London.

For more information on the excavations please visit: boxgroveproject.wordpress.com/ resources or access the site report Boxgrove A Middle Pleistocene hominid site at Eartham Quarry, Boxgrove, West Sussex.

Chi continue to make history as club seal FA Cup replay win CHICHESTER City's remarkable FA Cup run continues as the club cruised into the third qualifying round of the world's oldest knockout competition.

Miles Rutherford's side showed great character and resilience to defeat Southern Premier side Hartley Wintney over two competitive matches this week.

A 0-0 tie away in Hampshire on Saturday ensured a replay at Oaklands Park in midweek.

And in front of a crowd of more than 200, Chi stood up to early pressure before sealing the victory through a Jamie Horncastle strike.

The 1-0 win sets up a tasty tie with Bostik Premier side Enfield Town in the third qualifying round next Saturday (October 5, 3pm).

It also seals the club a windfall of at least ÂŁ10,500 - with ÂŁ6,750 for winning the match alongside at least ÂŁ3,750 for the losers of the next round.

Win and Chi will net a further ÂŁ17,500 - a big sum for a side who are playing at step four for the first time in their history.

The cup run will bring back happy memories to long-term followers of Chi, not least the FA Cup run of 1960 which saw the side reach the first round before losing 11-0 to Bristol City.

Since then, Chichester have merged with Portfield - meaning the third qualifying round is the furthest the current club have reached in the competition.

Before the Enfield game, though, Chi have the small matter of taking on league rivals Three Bridges in the FA Trophy - the first time the club has ever

played in the competition.

The match at Oaklands Park tomorrow (3pm) will be the first of two meetings between the two Sussex sides in ten days, with the visitors set to welcome Chi in the Velocity Trophy on October 8.

Rutherford will look for more of the grit shown over two legs against Hartley, when Chi kept a strong attack at bay to record two clean sheets across 180 minutes.

It was backs to the wall stuff at times during the midweek replay.

The visitors had the ball in the back of the net inside five minutes but it was chalked off for an infringement.

Chi did have their own chances, noticeably a one-on-one which Josh Clack spurned when he could have fed Kaleem Haitham.

But on the whole it was the step three side who were in control, with City keeper Steve Mowthorpe doing well to keep them at bay.

It was much the same pattern in the second period as Jack Ball missed a good chance for Hartley.

Chi went ahead against the run of play in the 50th minute.

Gicu Iordache crossed from the right and Jamie Horncastle beat the opposing keeper with a delightful touch to send the Oaklands Park faithful into raptures.

The joy could have been shortlived. Hartley thought they were level moments later but Mickell Platt’s effort was ruled out for offside.

It stayed like that for the rest of the evening as Mowthorpe pulled off the save of the night in the 83rd minute, getting down low to turn the ball round the post.

City denied win at the death CHICHESTER City Ladies will look to build on picking up their first point of the season but it could have been so much more as they were denied at the death in Gillingham.

Sadie Blakely has had a tough start to life in charge of the Oaklands Park side, losing her first five matches in the National Southern Premier.

With no points and only one goal to their name, Chi's new management team had a tough task in keeping the confidence of a young side high.

But things looked to be taking a positive turn in north Kent when an excellent strike from skipper Megan Fox gave City the lead.

With time ticking down, Chi looked to be on their way to all three points in front of a healthy crowd at Priestfield.

But, in a cruel twist of fate, the home side netted deep into injury time to ensure both sides shared the spoils.

The result leaves Chi sitting third bottom in the 12 team division with just a single point to their name.

Things do not get easier for Chi as Sunday sees them welcome fourth-place Watford to Oaklands Park (2pm).

The Hornets picked up a good point

against former Super League side Yeovil last time out, drawing 2-2.

Chi will have fond memories of taking on the Hertfordshire side, defeating them 1-0 in the league just five months ago.

But that was a very different Chi side, one that was full of experienced players who

were still mounting a promotion push deep into the season.

With the majority of that squad now gone, Blakely must rebuild with the emphasis on bringing through players from the club's successful development sides and giving them a taste of senior women's football.

SIDLESHAM have shocked the SCFL community by resigning their team from Division One with immediate effect.

In a short statement issued on Monday evening, the club cited a disagreement with the parish council over the use of the Recreation Ground home as the reason.

Council documents show an agreement made in 1985 which states the club have unlimited use of the eight hectare site with no rent paid.

But the council believes the site should be redeveloped so that it can be used by all of the community.

The decision means Sids, who were second-bottom of the SCFL Division One table, will no longer fulfil its fixtures for the coming season.

A club statement published on social media said: "It is with much sadness and regret that as with immediate effect, Sidlesham First Team have withdrawn from the SCFL. "The local parish council have cancelled our current agreement for use of the pitch.

"Negotiations are ongoing for a new agreement, but at this present time the club is unable to operate at county level.

"The current uncertainty

surrounding the club has made it impossible to recruit new, or now retain existing players to compete at the level required.

"Our West Sussex team will continue playing with the hope that a suitable agreement can be reached with the council.

"Sidlesham FC won’t be commenting further at this time."

Sids' last game was at the weekend with a 4-2 defeat to Southwick.

-- Fellow Division One side Selsey welcome fifth-place Mile Oak tomorrow (3pm) looking to win their first game in four.

Daren Pearce's side drew at Midhurst last time with Callum Dowdell getting the goal for the Blues.

But the home side equalised in a tempestuous second half which saw John Phillips sent to the sin bin.

That result leaves Selsey seventh, two points behind unbeaten Mile Oak ahead of their clash this weekend.

In Division Two, Bosham have a week off having been beaten 2-1 at Cowfold on Saturday. Alex Barnes scored for the Robins, who are seventh in the 15 team league.

Sportinbrief î ?

Football PAGHAM will be looking to make big strides as they have two crunch matches in the next week.

An under-strength Lions side were served a harsh lesson on the road last weekend when they fell to a 3-0 defeat to highflying Eastbourne Town.

A double from Dan Perry and second half strike from sub Jack McLean denied Pagham, who enjoyed good spells of possession throughout the match.

But manager Bob Paine will be pleased with the improvement shown by his young side in recent weeks.

Despite sitting second bottom in the SCFL Premier with four points from

eight matches, Pagham's performances defy their league position with bad luck and officiating decisions meaning their good play has not been rewarded with points.

But tomorrow serves up an ideal chance to make amends when they welcome Langney Wanderers to Nyetimber Lane (3pm).

With their opponents sitting in 14th and winning only once in their last eight in all competitions, Lions will sense a real opportunity to record their second league win of the season.

Then in midweek there is a visit from league rivals Little Common in the Sussex Senior Cup (Tuesday, 7.45pm).

Darts THE Lamb's Steve Perry came out the winner in a five leg thriller to take the Bognor Summer Captains title.

His opponent in the final was Dave Bourne (Little Legends) after he beat 2010 champion Colin Mace (Friary 'Z').

Perry started first after winning the bullseye, but it was an even leg with both players leaving 92 after seven throws. But they both struggled to finish the leg, and Bourne eventually hit double 1.

Leg 2 saw Perry start with a 140, followed by 81 & 100, but Bourne caught up with scores of 125 & 110. This time both players left 60 after 6 throws, but it was Perry who took the double.

Perry hit 85, 68 & 121 to start leg 3, but steady scoring from Bourne saw him take the lead and then go 2-1 up.

Leg 4 saw a 140 from Bourne, but he missed his chances, giving Perry time to catch up and hit his double.

The final leg saw Perry start with a ton and also hit a 140. But a ton and 120 from Bourne saw both players get to a finish.

Last year's runner-up, Bourne could only watch and hope - and Perry hit double top, taking the match 3-2, and the Summer Captains Champion title.

Darts IT'S taken five years but Chichester Snooker Club's Keith Robinson is once again the Bognor Summer Darts League's Secretaries knockout champion.

A total of 14 players took part in the end-of-season competition at the Newtown Social Club.

Robinson, who last lifted the trophy in 2004, had to do it the hard way beating four-time and reigning champion, Lee Franklin (Friary 'Z') in the first round.

After seeing off Rob Allen (Little Legends) in the semis, the Chi player faced Stuart Turner (ASC) in the final, after he removed Ricky Clark (Newtown Amity) from the knockout.

The final saw Turner, the 2006 runnerup, win the bullseye to go first, but small scores scuppered his chances, allowing Robinson to forge ahead and take the leg in 25 darts.

The second leg saw Turner pick up his game with scores of 92, 97 and 85.

But Robinson started with 95 and continued with 3 tons to get to the double first and take a 23 dart leg.

Leg 3 saw Turner start steady, but again Robinson hit two tons and three scores of 80 plus to finish the leg in 22 darts, taking the win 3-0 and his first Summer Secretaries Champion title.

TZ cohort race around Goodwood TONE Zone runner Chris Savill was on fine form as he led the club home in the 10k at the Goodwood Running Festival.

The event, held at the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit, has proved to be popular with runners from across the south east and beyond.

Despite the torrential rain the Bognor Regis Tone Zone runners turned out in force to compete across three different events.

Rebecca Sleet ran in the 5k with a time of 37:28.

In the 10k Savill was the first across the line for Tone Zone in 45:29, closely followed by Glenn Penfold in 47:16.

Lee Hayward finished in 53:19, 10 minutes down the road was Rebecca Holden in one hour two minutes, with Beth Suter finishing a few minutes behind in a personal best time of 1:05.

Wendy Morris was next to cross the line with a PB of 1:08.

Helen Wattam, Karen Butcher and Jessica Stevens all finished in 1:13 and 1:15 respectively.

Nic Baglee sneaked under the 1:45 barrier to finish the two lapped course in 1:44.

In the Half Marathon distance Mark Green finished 3rd in his age category and grabbed a new personal best of 1:44:05.

Alan Coombs ran with Mark up to 10 miles and finished just behind in 1:47:47. Peter Ramsdale was 1st in his age category and finished in 1:55:09.

A few other club runners were in Winchester for the Half Marathon, a tough hilly course.

Christo Oosthuizen finished 1st in category and 5th overall in a time of 1:23:56.

Lee Boniface came away from the Half Marathon with a new personal best time of 1:35:07.

Jess Thomson was just behind in 1:37:14.

Leigh Paige finished in 2:20, followed by Paul Stevenson, Stuart Thomson and Alan Haskell in 2:22, 2:22 and 2:28 respectively.

At the Hambledon 10k Sarah Zacal finished in 49 minutes 38 seconds on the tough hilly course. Zacal was the first lady to cross the line, beating the previous winner by just over a minute.

During the week Sam Yates took on the Butser Hill a tough 5 mile hilly fell race. Yates crossed the line in a very respectable time of 1 hour 11 minutes.

Forwards are key as Cornish await Blues

f Bognor won 39-12 at Winchester last weekend

Young charges keep on firing BOGNOR RFC Academy made it three wins in a row at Winchester last weekend in a seven try display - but the message from coach Tom James was there is still plenty for his young charges to work on.

The young side bounced back from a difficult start to eventually seal a 39-12 win on the road in Hampshire.

The hosts started brightly putting together a 20 phase passage of play which saw their strong running 8 crash over for a converted try.

Bognor came back, moving the ball wide to the impressive Cellan Robinson on the wing who was dragged down short of the line.

Scrum half Alfie Spurle used his bulk to touch down.

With Charlie Weller, Ethan Teasdale and Jack Trenham securing good scrum ball, fly half Elvis Millen orchestrated the Bognor backs who began to stretch the Winchester defence.

Tyrone Masaki, in at centre, cut through and rounded the last defender to score. Jack Hickman converted.

Bognor continued to defend well around the ruck with Thompson and Norrell putting in the hits.

Gus Haplik and Hickman also contained the hosts' centres with some fine tackling.

Bradley Smith got Bognor over the gainline and skipper Harrison Southern was on hand to score.

Bognor extended their lead just before half time as Norrell used his long levers to smash over.

Bognor rang the changes at half time. Owen Thomas rose like the wind in the lineout and Giles powered through as the backs moved the ball wide to Ben Woolnough and Edward GilbertJones who always made ground.

Winchester infringed and a quick tap penalty saw Brad Smith step over, Jack Hickman converted.

Oscar Henson added some feistiness to proceedings and a planned lineout move saw Harrison Southern scorch over for his second try.

Another perfectly executed catch and drive ended with debutant Foote crashing over.

CHICHESTER RFC will look to chalk up their third win from four as they visit London Cornish tomorrow (2.15pm).

Scott Ashley's side bounced back in style last weekend, registering a bonus point victory over KCS Old Boys at Oaklands Park.

The 38-20 win meant that the Blues banished the memories of a derby day hiding at Havant while placing them eighth after only three games of the London One South campaign.

Now attention switches to the Richardson Memorial Fields in south London when Chi will look to keep the momentum going.

One thing they will look to improve on though is their opening five minutes, with Blues once again falling behind early against KCS last time out.

The visitors created an overlap and breached the Chichester defence close to the posts with just four minutes on the clock. A penalty followed giving KCS a 10-0 lead.

But Chi responded, kicking to the corner from a penalty and mauling over with Nick Blount touching down. 7-10.

Blues' tally was double shortly after when Sam Renwick dummied inside the last defender to score.

But within three minutes KCS were back on top with a converted try, a lead they extended with another penalty before the break.

Blues needed a response and they got it. A blistering 25 metre run from Renwick was stopped under the posts. The ball was recycled quickly out to Matt McLagan for a simple score in the corner. 19-20.

Blues were starting to look more comfortable and, with the visitors down to 14, took advantage as Charlie Wallace touched down a rolling maul for the bonus point try.

Chi extended the lead in the final ten minutes, first through Martin O’Callaghan before McLagan came off his wing to run a diagonal line between the KCS centres and receive a one handed off load from Shaun Baker to score under the posts, converted by Charlie Norton to seal the 38-20 win.

--Bognor RFC will be looking to bounce back after suffering a hammering at Sandown & Shanklin last time out.

The Purple and Greens returned from the Isle of Wight battered and bruised after suffering a 62-7 defeat.

Next up is a visit from winless Ellingham & Ringwood tomorrow (3pm).

Rocks players must stop the errors - or else

as ues

Old Boys

f Action from Dulwich | pics: Tommy McMillan

NEXT GAME

BOGNOR first team coach Robbie Blake is demanding his players start improving - or risk being dropped or even pushed out of the club.

The strong warning came in the immediate aftermath of the Rocks' 6-1 FA Cup defeat to National South side Dulwich Hamlet last weekend.

It was not the result or the performance which angered Blake; more the individual errors which players keep on committing which then lead to goals.

With Bognor, who are third bottom after winning only one of the opening seven league matches, hosting third from top Haringey Borough in the Isthmian Premier tomorrow (3pm) the pressure is on for an instant response from the Rocks first team.

How will this happen? Well Blake made it clear something needs to change - warning he could even leave the club himself if the situation does not improve.

Speaking after the Dulwich defeat, the former Bolton striker said: "[We will improve against Haringey] by showing character and bringing a couple of players in. We will be trying our damnedest to do that.

"I understand the situation but I have had enough now. Players

have to come in now or possibly I have to leave because you have to be given the tools.

"If I'm given the tools then I will do a good job. Unfortunately, the players out there are not doing that for us.

"The day I can't do anything for this football club is the day I walk away from it.

He added: "Unfortunately, the goals we are conceding are not down to lack of coaching or lack of not knowing jobs, it's individual errors and mistakes which are costing this football club. We need to change - either me change or the players have to change. It's just the way it is."

Bognor made the worst possible start at Dulwich falling behind to two early goals.

An error from on-loan Pompey goalkeeper Petar Durin then led to a third.

James Crane pulled one back for the Rocks with a penalty before the home side ran away with it late in the second half.

Blake said: "We are just compounding error after error after error and it's not even as though teams are cutting us open.

"They weren't 6-1 better than us, we controlled big parts of that game and we're making errors which you would not see in the playground."

Haringey Borough (H) Tomorrow (Saturday, September 28), at 3pm

Blake: 'It's time for changes' TWO players - that's all Rocks first team coach Robbie Blake believes the club are missing to turn Bognor's faltering season around.

Two months into the Isthmian Premier campaign and the Nyewood Lane side are sitting third bottom in the standings and have been dumped out of the FA Cup. But Rocks regulars this year will no doubt be thinking how are things looking so bad, with the side often outclassing their opponents for large portions of the match.

But performances do not always match up to winning matches - as Bognor found out again last weekend when they were defeated 6-1 in the cup at National South side Dulwich Hamlet.

After falling behind to two early goals a mistake from on-loan Portsmouth keeper Petar Durin allowed the south London side to score a third.

From that deficit Rocks never really recovered - with the Bognor coach having some passionate heartfelt words to say once the final whistle had been blown.

Blake said: "I have told the players that inevitably it's a conveyor belt where they have had the opportunities to be a Bognor player and now they need to go. I have told them.

"They have had too many chances now and it's basic fundamental defending which is costing us now.

"We have to do it now. Supporters will

have their own opinions. But I feel we are two players away from being really good.

"We are playing through the lines, dominating a side who are two up against us and showed real signs of energy brightness and causing them a few problems.

"If it's 2-0 without that error then we get the penalty and 2-1 it's a different game."

The former Bradford and Bolton striker added: "There's no one that can tell me it was a 6-1 game.

"People on social media may be hammering me and Jack saying this and that. But it doesn't matter - the formations are not costing us those goals; there's only one thing and it's personnel."

f Rocks officials look on

Sport 39

NYECAMP NEWS

by Liam Goodley

I DON'T think many Rocks fans expected us to win at Dulwich but the 6-1 scoreline didn’t really do us justice.

Yes, they were physically stronger and quicker than us.

Yes, they had a lot more depth and seven on the bench (I think we had four!) But the end result was just cruel.

It was a shame as we have had some good matches against them in recent years.

But we are just not on the same level at the moment.

They have a bigger catchment area, a massive fan base and investment off the pitch. I think we're trying to get to that point but we're just not there.

I still think Robbie and Jack can turn it round but doesn’t seem like it at the moment.

Five losses from seven is not great and I can’t see where the next win will come from at the moment.

Haringey tomorrow will be a tough game as they are flying at the top at the moment I rated them last year and it looks like they have taken it through into the new campaign.

The problem is the worse our results, the more fans get unhappy and stop coming, which has an impact on the team. It's like an avalanche and it's hard to keep positive.

But times like this is when you see the difference between fans and supporters. The fans will be there to a certain extent until we start losing while there will always be a cohort who will be there regardless.

Already we're seeing an impact. The last home crowd was about 300 which is way down on our average. We also only had about 17 on the 50 seater coach going to Dulwich.

I don’t think anybody was confident of getting a result on the coach beforehand.

Champion Hill, though, is a nice ground with a good atmosphere. In parts it looks

old with open ends behind the goals. The whole set-up is good and they do well selling refreshments to regular crowds of 2,000-plus.

While some may not believe it due to the result I didn't think we played that badly!

There were one of two who did well. Muitt ran his socks off before they brought him off for fear of aggravating his injury. Brad looked dangerous at times, too.

I thought we didn’t play too bad and were far better than against Cheshunt.

If there was a silver lining to the defeat it was a game at Dulwich meant we got a healthy share of the gate receipts, as well as the losing prize money for the match.

All the chat on the message boards is about needing experienced players.

I do believe we need a new goalkeeper and a couple of centre backs to give us a stronger foundation.

We are struggling at the back and 90 per cent of goals against are our own mistakes which is not good enough.

When we go in front then that makes a difference. But when we fall behind the confidence drops. I think that's partly due to the way we play and also the players we have.

Some are saying we will be down by Christmas but I don’t agree with that.

We need to focus on the league and climb out of the relegation battle.

A lot has also been made of Robbie’s comments after he match but think he is right.

He's just as frustrated as anyone. The team he's picked is not performing and he probably feels like a broken record as individuals are still making errors.

I fear he will get frustrated and just leave. I hope it doesn’t come to that though as he has made a big impact.
