POSTAL workers have recently returned an historic yes vote in a ballot for Industrial Action. The vote saw a 76 per cent turnout of union members and 97.1 per cent of those voting yes. Only 18 months ago, the Communications Workers Union and Royal Mail made an agreement for the future, which included an historic pension solution, a mutual interest driven relationship and a joint vision for a successful postal service with social aims. Since the agreement, a new chief executive, Rico Black, has been appointed and changes made in senior management. Ruth Harris, CWU branch secretary, Portsmouth and district postal branch, said: "It is apparent that the great British postal service is at threat of being broken up in the interests of fast track profit and greed. "Thousands of jobs are at risk with
the company’s plans to set up a separate parcels business. "The universal service agreement which ensures a delivery to all households six days a week is at serious threat. "Industrial action is always a last resort. Our members do not want this for the public. "This is now very much in Royal Mail's hands, hopefully to get back on track and honour the previous agreement made in good faith with the CWU." There will now be a three-week process to conclude dispute resolution, before both sides consider the next steps. The CWU have said they want to work with Royal Mail to embrace change and deliver and exciting and innovative future for Royal Mail, with an expanding role for Postal Workers in supporting local communities and growing the economy.

Special visitor in the city From Me To You
News 3
f Chichester remainers campaign in London
Brexit could have big effect on city From page one
f Tatty Teddy was giving out free hugs in the city on Saturday By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk TEDDY FANATICS were able to get free hugs on Saturday when they visited a card shop in the city. The famous Tatty Teddy bear was hanging out in his home town of Chichester to say hello to shoppers. The beginnings of Me to You started in 1987 when Carte Blanche Greetings chairman and founder, Stephen Haines, approached illustrator Mike Payne to create a group of 'cute' characters to appear on a series of greeting cards. This led to the creation of various cartoon animals called the Miranda
gang, which included a brown bear with patches. In 1995, Carte Blanche gave the bear a new look and turned the bear from brown to grey, and with the addition of a bright blue nose, a few more patches and a story of his very own. Over 75 million Me to You plush bears have been sold since 2000. Tatty Teddy’s visit to Chichester forms part of a year-long tour of Clintons’ stores across the UK as the Me to You brand builds towards 25 years as the nation’s favourite bear. The visit was particularly special as Carte Blanche Greetings, the brand owner of Me to You, has its headquarters
just up the road in Tangmere. Marketing manager Grace Elphinstone commented: "Me to You is about sharing love and friendship with those in our life that mean the most. "The Tatty Teddy tour has been a wonderful opportunity to meet with fans up and down the country and hear how important Me to You has been in helping them to share the moments in life that really matter. "Clintons has been the perfect partner for our tour, having been part of the Me to You story since 1995, with customers heading to Clintons as ‘the destination’ for Me to You."

John also said the weakness of the pound makes raw materials for the horticultural industry more expensive. He added: "On the positive side; imported fresh produce is now more expensive, making home-produced fresh produce more competitive. "Little horticultural fresh produce is exported from the UK, so the competitive advantages that a weak pound gives to exporters is presently of little value to most." John also said there were concerns that post-Brexit, there could be a reduction in standards, allowing lower quality produce into the UK from outside of the EU, with fewer checks taking place, increasing the risk of pests and diseases entering the country. On Saturday, a large group of campaigners from the Chichester area went by train to take part in the ‘Let us be Heard’ march in central London. The group had been brought together by the European Movement local branch, Chichester Liberal Democrats and by word of mouth to friends and family. Although the date for the march had been decided a couple of months ago, it gained greater significance when
the government decided to hold an extraordinary Saturday sitting of Parliament on the same day to try to progress its Brexit plans. European Movement spokesman John Wilton said: "It was a privilege to be part of such an historic event that brought together people from all over the United Kingdom to stand up for what they believe in - for the future of our country, and especially for our young people, who will suffer most if Brexit goes ahead. "We were delighted so many local people turned out to join us on the ‘Let us be heard’ March in London, to send a clear message to the government that the people want the chance to have their say on whether or not we should leave the EU on the terms the government has negotiated or stay in the EU with the much better deal we already have. "As on previous marches, the atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming, with people from all over the UK and beyond, of all ages and diverse ethnicities coming together for the greater good. "As for the last march, back in March, it was estimated that around a million people had taken part, making it again one of the largest demonstrations ever seen in London."

` MP's climate speech CHICHESTER'S MP, Gillian Keegan, took part in one of the recent Queen’s Speech debates on the environment in the House of Commons. Mrs Keegan championed several local initiatives in her speech, including a local sustainable education charity, Tuppeny Barn; Chichester City Council, which has declared a ‘climate emergency,’ and The Woodhorn Group, 'a model of sustainable farming practice'. The MP has done significant work on the environment, which was evident in her speech where she referenced her meetings with campaign groups such as Extinction Rebellion, The Time Is Now and EcoChi. Mrs Keegan also spoke about her recent visit to a Passivhaus, where efficient materials and building practices provide homes with a minimal carbon footprint. A point she highlighted by sharing that an annual energy bill is less than £200. The Chichester MP went on to share her experience of going down a mine shaft with her grandfather as a girl, pointing out the transformation our energy economy has gone through within her lifetime. The MP concluded her speech by calling for a united approach in tackling climate change across every political party and every section of society.

City celebrations for FA cup result By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE CITY has erupted into celebrations after Chichester City FC made it through to the second round of the FA Cup. Bury FC was kicked out of the English Football League after they fell into administration so there was an odd number of teams left in the draw on Monday evening. The last three clubs in the draw were Chichester, Stevenage and Peterborough but it was lucky number 71 for the lowest ranking team, who received a bye and were automatically put through to the next round. Chichester City Football Club have also said they will donate some of the £30,000 odd prize money to Bury FC. A tweet by the club said: "The club would like to place on record that we will be making a donation to the appropriate organisation involved with the continuation of @buryfcofficial. Someone had to get the bye, maybe after six wins already we deserved it?" Mayor of the city, Cllr Richard Plowman said: "The latest news is wonderful. The people of Chichester are thrilled and proud of the news that Chichester FC are through to the next round of the FA Cup. "We all love a David and Goliath situation so very well done. The lads are great donating part of the next round prize money of £36,000 from the bye to struggling Bury FC. If there is spare ticket for the next match going, just let me know!"

are currently studying at the University of Chichester. Sports and activities manager at the university students union, Adam Sewell, said it was a great achievement for the club. He told the Chichester Post: "This is extremely important for the club, players, city and fans. "The players are role models and have a great ethos after they have said they will donate some of the money to Bury FC. It's highly commendable. "It is such a great result, especially after being one of the earliest clubs by entering around six rounds ago and achieving so many wins already. Getting the bye is just the luck of the draw and doesn't take anything away from their achievement. "Let's hope for a home fixture in the next draw. It would be good to see a big club as well but it's great for them just to be involved in such a prestigious competition." Shelagh Legrave, chief executive of the Chichester College Group, added: "It is thrilling to see Chichester City FC reach the second round of the FA Cup - what a tremendous experience for the club and their players. "We are particularly excited as Darin Kilpartrick - one of our lecturers - is the assistant coach at Chichester, so we will be following the second round draw very closely! "It is also inspiring to hear that they intend to donate some of their prize money to Bury - a great demonstration of true sportsmanship."

Knitting up a great idea for charity CHICHESTER’S Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice shop was delighted when local resident Granny Rosie popped in with one of her hand knitted displays for their Halloween window. Staff and volunteers joined her in a chat over some tea and cake while admiring her latest creation. Rosie Turner, known locally as Granny Rosie, has supported the shop for many years, knitting delightful figures for the windows. She is the mother-in-law of local author Kate Mosse, also a great supporter of the charity.
Shop manager Susy Pitt said: "Over the years, Granny Rosie has knitted amongst other things snowmen, ski-ing Santas, carol singers and a figure of the Queen and her corgis all in great detail and we know a lot of hard work goes into creating them. "The displays attract lots of attention from customers and passers-by who pop in for a closer look. “These witches will look wonderful in our window. We can’t wait to see what Granny Rosie will come up with next. She said she has some knitted nursery rhymes in mind!"

Thousands sign school petition By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A PETITION to stop the closure of a Chichester primary school has reached a milestone 1,000 signatures. But parents are darkly wondering if they have any chance, or if the consultation is just 'a tick box exercise'. Rumboldswhyke C of E infants School was founded 135 years ago and for many years it has fed into Central Junior School. Around five years ago Central School was put into ‘special measures’ and since then numbers at Rumboldswhyke School have been dropping. Parents, teachers, community members and supporters of the school are invited to a consultation evening organised by the county council on Thursday, November 7, at Rumboldswhyke C of E infants School at 6.30pm. The campaign group say they are confident that the strength of feeling in the community will be heard loud and clear on that evening and are keen to encourage members of the public to attend. The county councillor for Midhurst and Liberal Democrat parliamentary spokesperson said she was also continuing to fight for the five small schools, which include Compton and Up Marden Primary, Chichester; Rumboldswhyke C of E Infants, Chichester and Stedham Primary, Midhurst. Cllr Dr Kate O’Kelly said she was
delighted that a motion passed with cross party support and was in the end unanimous. The motion was calling for more support for small schools to help them find partners for federation. Cllr O’Kelly said school partnership leading to federation was a win-win for pupils, staff and communities and that closure should be the last resort. She also said that by passing this motion it meant the local authority must take a more proactive approach to helping schools find partners rather than looking at closure. "I am hopeful that the new cabinet member for education will reconsider, listen to our schools and communities who are calling for a halt to the consultation. "Both schools can gain from the relationship. The schools remain open in their villages, but they can share some resources, pupils gain a wider perspective with some shared activities but retain the joy of being in a small community, staff can benefit from shared planning and the larger scale." She added that said small schools sat at the heart of their communities and were loved and consultation on the future of any school should be the last resort and absolutely the last stage in the process. The online petition is live and can be signed at: tinyurl.com/y3opyopv or members of the public can sign a paper petition by emailing: cristina_32@ hotmail.com
f Jill Robertson from WASPI and MP Gillian Keegan
City's MP meets WASPI group LAST Wednesday, a significant group of women – classed as a ‘mass lobby’ - from up and down the country, attended an organised MPs drop in at Westminster. Chichester MP Gillian Keegan, visited the drop-in to obtain further information and to reconsider her position on the matter. Women born in the 1950s insist they have been unfairly treated in the transition of age ranges raising women’s retirement age to come into line with men’s. The 1995 Act sliding scale gave dates of no more than 63 or 64 years of age for the first cohort to be affected. The 2007 Act increased some of those in the latter part of the first cohort and the 2011 Act accelerated them even further, leaving little or no time to amend their savings or financially future-proof their livelihoods. "Two years ago, local WASPI women told us they were desperate then, they are now beyond desperation," said Elmer resident Helen Downes.
Several MPs went from the drop in back to the House of Commons, taking the opportunity to raise the issue in that afternoon’s continued debate on the recent Queen’s speech. MP Justin Madders said: "I want to express my disappointment that once again the WASPI women have not been mentioned. "It is a source of shame that the government continue to ignore that campaign in the face of overwhelming evidence of the injustice that has been served on them. "In fact, I have just come from a drop-in session where there were probably more members than there are in here. That shows that across the House there is genuine support for doing something for the WASPI campaigners."

Outstanding for city hospital By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk ST RICHARD'S Hospital is the first nonspecialist acute trust in the country to be rated ‘Outstanding’ in all the key inspection areas assessed by the Care Quality Commission. Improving upon the trust’s first ‘Outstanding’ rating from four years ago, the government’s health watchdog awarded the highest possible rating for services at Worthing Hospital, St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester and Southlands in Shoreham, following a rigorous inspection process which took place from June to August this year. Inspectors determined services at the NHS Foundation Trust were safe, effective, caring, responsive, well-led and resourced properly - with each category receiving an ‘Outstanding’ rating. The trust’s new CQC report, published on October 22, also confirms Western Sussex Hospitals as the first-ever acute trust to be rated ‘Outstanding’ for the safety of its services. Chief executive Dame Marianne Griffiths said: "Our staff and volunteers are phenomenal and I am absolutely thrilled the CQC has recognised this by establishing Western Sussex Hospitals as the first non-specialist acute hospital trust to receive a clean sweep of ‘Outstanding’ awards. "For staff to surpass the ‘Outstanding’ results we achieved from our last inspection four years ago is remarkable in its own right – but to do so in the context of us now seeing 55 more people in A&E every day, 4,200 more people in outpatients every month and 5,000
more inpatients each year, is frankly heroic. "Every time I say I could not be more proud of our people, they go and do it again! "Western Sussex Hospitals is a truly special place to work and I have the best job in the world. "I am especially proud of Western Sussex Hospitals becoming the first acute trust rated Outstanding for safety, because this tells our patients and their loved ones we are getting things right, that we’re learning when we don’t, and that they can depend on the people caring for them when they need us
most." The inspectors commended the “exceptional compassion” of staff, a “genuinely open culture”, and “an environment in which excellence in clinical care flourished”. The report states: “Staff felt engaged and proud to work for the trust. Results of a pulse survey in June showed that 93 per cent of staff recommended the trust as a place to work and 97 per cent as a place to be treated.” The CQC’s chief inspector of hospitals, Professor Ted Baker, visited St Richard’s Hospital on Monday to congratulate staff. He said: “Throughout the inspection

we found a strong culture of safety across the trust in which all staff were engaged. Staff spoke positively about the patient journey and the striving for continual improvement. "The hard work has paid off in making a real difference to the lives of people using the services. Everyone who has played a part in this should be very proud of this outcome."

Big Sleep Out at the cathedral raises awareness of homeless By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk ON SATURDAY around 77 people braved sleeping out in cardboard shelters for one night to raise vital funds for Stonepillow. The charity’s annual fundraising event took place in the grounds of Chichester Cathedral and was sponsored by Kiwi Recruitment. The evening has raised over £10,000 so far and this total is expected to increase with sponsorship still to come in. Laura Bulbeck, Stonepillow PR and events manager, said: "We would like to thank all the participants for their fundraising efforts, which will make a huge difference to the lives of homeless and vulnerable people and ensure that we can continue to support them. "We are so grateful to Kiwi Recruitment for sponsoring the Big Sleep Out and making it all possible." The Big Sleep Out does not aim to replicate homelessness but does give people a small insight into some of the harsh realities of rough sleeping. Before participants settled into their shelters for the night, one of Stonepillow’s clients bravely shared their experience of what it is like to be homeless and how they have turned their life around with support from the charity. James Clark, from Chichester, took part with his son, ten-year-old Joseph, and his friend, David Mason, also ten. Joseph said: "I am really excited about tonight. We have decorated our shelter and called it the cave. "We have got a porch where we can leave our bags and then a bit to sleep in." David said: "Our challenge is going to be to try and get to sleep! It makes me
feel sad how some people can be treated differently and the government doesn't help them enough." Dad James said he thought it was a great event to take part in. He said: "They have just started walking home from school on their own through town and they have noticed the homeless. "They have been buying things in Greggs and places to give to the homeless. I was quite surprised to know how alert they are to it all." On Wednesday, West Sussex County Council announced it had been awarded more than £340,000 to help rough sleepers get vital access to health services. The grant of £345,529 from the Department of Health and Social Care was awarded to the county council following a successful application to Public Health England (PHE). The money is part of the £1.9 million which has been allocated by PHE to be used on projects that will improve access to health services for people with mental ill health and substance misuse problems who are currently, or at risk of returning to, sleeping rough. The initiative will be co-ordinated by Stonepillow, on behalf of a number of homelessness support organisations. The project will start next February and run for 12 months. The funding will help to improve the links between hospitals and homeless services and reduce the number of hospital admissions of homeless people in West Sussex. The Hospital Admissions Referral Pathway (HARP) model will provide a nurse and outreach worker, who will be located across various homelessness services, to ensure that rough sleepers do not fall through the
primary healthcare net. Mayor of Chichester, Cllr Richard Plowman said: "Homelessness is unfortunately increasing all over the country and in Chichester we are particularly proud of the way the charities and churches help these people in need. "The sleep out at the cathedral in cardboard boxes, often with younger generation experiencing for the first time what sleeping rough is like, raises awareness. "A very valuable monetary contribution is made to these charities who have seen their grants from the local authorities much reduced when the need is growing." Tom Carron, local team leader from Rapid Relief Team, said: "This is the fourth year we have supported this event. It is really important to support the homeless people in the area and Stonepillow are a great charity to work with. "We are glad to do our bit to help them raise money for their services. "It's really important that the whole community get behind this and an event like this has great community spirit for all ages." Stonepillow would like to say a huge thank you to Rapid Relief Team Bognor Regis, COOK Chichester, South Downs Water and Costa, West Street, Chichester, for providing food and drink for the event and to all the local businesses that donated cardboard and raffle prizes.

` Brinsbury Farm EARLIER this month, Brinsbury College hosted the Sussex and Surrey National Farmers’ Union annual barbecue and farm walk. More than 60 farmers and employers from across East Sussex, West Sussex and Surrey attended the evening’s event. The farm walk is designed to help NFU members get a feel for the farm and the educational benefits for agriculture students. Brinsbury farm staff gave members of the NFU tractor and trailer rides. They also provided a tour of the farm to give an insight into what has been achieved at the Brinsbury College farm. Alex Hollands, college farm manager, said: “It was a great evening and we were delighted to see so many people turn out for the event, braving the cold weather to see our facility and enjoy the tractor and trailer rides. "Our agriculture students are the future of farming, so it's really important for us to work with the NFU and their members to ensure we're giving our students the best opportunities to learn and develop."

Blue gives back to charity By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A WOMAN from Chichester has given back to the charity she says changed her life. Blue Stevenson, 28 from West Witterings, took part in the Big Sleep Out to help raise funds for the charity, Stonepillow. Back in 2010, Blue was a teenager falling out with her family members and was told to leave home and moved into supported housing in Chichester. She said she was then kicked out of the supported housing as she didn’t have a job and was unable to pay for the housing. Blue then found herself homeless and sleeping at St Joseph’s night shelter but some nights she was unable to get access, meaning she would sleep inside doorways or at the hospital. She said: "As a female being homeless at the time I was homeless it was only me being the female with the rest who were all males. "I was scared and most nights I wouldn’t sleep at all. I would sit up all night, you never know what’s going to happen to you out there! Luckily, there was only a few nights that St Joseph’s were full." Blue said that Stonepillow helped her a lot, providing her with a roof to sleep under most nights with warm food and a place to shower and change. She also used the day centre during the morning for breakfast and chats and support about working and getting back on her fee. She said they helped her get into work and later find herself a property.
Blue added: "Without Stonepillow, I don’t think I would be where I am today, I would still be homeless. They changed my life. "With the help and support from volunteers at the charity who got me into a volunteered job which later turned into a real job, I moved into a flat supported by Stonepillow and now I live in a private rented three-bed house with my two
amazing children." Blue took part in the event with her niece, Sam, and her sister Kerri/ She said: "I never thought I’d be homeless it can happen to anyone at anytime. I wanted to do this to give back to the charity that helped me when I needed the help. "The sleep out was freezing! But so much fun. During the night I woke a few
times and had memories of my time on the streets. It all came back to me, which was a bit upsetting. However, knowing I was helping the homeless made me feel happy. "Without the support from Stonepillow I wouldn’t be where I am today, homelessness can happen to anyone they are vulnerable and really need the support from anyone!"

A climate march for A27 options By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk
PROTESTERS gathered in Chichester on Monday afternoon to ask the county council to re-think plans for the A27 at Arundel. A new ‘Green Alliance’ of campaigners marched from the cathedral to County Hall in West Street before the meeting of the environment, communities and fire select committee at 2pm. The committee met to discuss the response to Highways England's further non-statutory consultation on options for the A27 Arundel bypass. The Green Alliance group, which is made up of Extinction Rebellion, the Green Party, Arundel SCATE (South Coast Alliance on Transport and the Environment), ABNC (Arundel Bypass Neighbourhood Committee) and TLC (Tortington Local Community) took part in a ‘die-in’ to urge the council not to support any of the Arundel bypass routes. Campaigner Matilda Tristam said in a speech on the steps outside County Hall: "Magenta and grey options will severe wildlife corridors and devastate three villages, Binsted, Tortington and Walberton. All six options are 70mph dualcarriageways that would increase traffic and carbon emissions in a time of climate emergency. This is unacceptable. "We are asking West Sussex County Council to do the right thing, to think of the climate crisis, to think of the people of Binsted, Tortington, Walberton and Arundel,to vote against the party whip, to reject the magenta route and to reject all of Highways England's options."
News 15
` 90th birthday
The county council's draft response to the consultation was to support the magenta route, just as Arundel Town Council and Arun District Council have done. This route involves 4.4 miles of a new dual-carriageway to the south of the existing A27 and a new bridge over Binsted Rife. At the meeting, Cllr Derek Whittingham, member for Fontwell, told the committee in a statement magenta would bring hardship to Binsted's residents even though it was a favoured option by many people for various reasons. "The crimson option is very similar to the pink-blue route, which was subject to previous consultations before the national park came into existence and will involve crossing the relatively new park. "In short, my heart's preference is for the crimson option but I realise that a line through the national park is highly unlikely to be achieved. "So, pragmatically, and with considerable regret, I lend my support to the magenta route." Cllr Suzanne Clark, chairman of Walberton Parish Council, told the committee: "Walberton parish residents are adamantly against the magenta, amber and grey options, as most of them would cause irreparable damage to our communities and to the environment." She urged the council not to make any decision until "crimson has been given an open and fair consideration". The consultation closed yesterday and the next stage will see Highways England announcing their preferred route next year.

A 90-YEAR-OLD woman from Barnham was given a birthday present to remember when she was treated by her son, Dave, to a memorable flight at Goodwood Aerodrome. Patricia Stagg, who was treated to the flight, said: "I used to work for the British Overseas Airways Corporation as secretary to the catering manager. While I enjoyed a few trips overseas, this was unique as I have never been in a small aircraft before today. "It was an exhilarating experience and one I would recommend to anyone. Flying over the South Downs and seeing all the autumn colours was a real treat, Dave even planned the weather perfectly! "The flight flew by, so I’m now going to book myself in for lessons at the flying school." Flying experiences at Goodwood Aerodrome take place throughout the year with highly experienced instructors on hand to guide passengers through the basics of flying.

The minibuses, which will be used by adult services as well as for taking children to and from school, will replace older vehicles and be paid for out of the council’s capital programme. A council spokesman said: "We have a well-developed fleet asset management plan which identifies when vehicles are due for replacement according to locally agreed timelines. "In the 2020/21 financial year, 33 wheelchair-accessible minibuses will reach the end of their agreed life-cycle and will be replaced with new vehicles. “This ensures that the county fleet is

` Council signs CASH-STRAPPED West Sussex County Council has spent more than £600 on a couple of new signs for County Hall, Chichester. The council, which has to make savings of £75.5million over the next four years, used £603.30 from a budget for corporate items to pay for a West Sussex Fire and Rescue sign and another bearing the county logo. A spokesman said the existing County Hall sign had been ‘in a poor state of repair’ and, while replacing it, it was decided to add a fire and rescue sign for the first time. He added: “Before spending any money, we weigh up the costs against the benefits in order to make sure we deliver value for money to our residents. “It is vital that we have signs to help identify the headquarters of both the county council and West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.”
safe, reliable and sustainable, offering best value to West Sussex council taxpayers and a robust and reliable service to the minibus passengers. “Without maintaining a modern, efficient fleet, it would be very difficult for the county council to maintain its statutory duties for access to education.” The council operates a fleet assessment management plan that identifies vehicles and equipment which are due for replacement over a rolling five-year period. Chief fire officer Sabrina CohenHatton is scheduled to agree the purchase of the new minibuses on November 29. Report by Karen Dunn, local democracy reporter

The new county council leader Concern for the mental says he's proud and honoured f A report has shared the findings of a happiness survey
health of county's kids ALMOST 4,000 children in West Sussex are at risk of developing poor mental health because they live with parents who are hooked on alcohol or drugs. The figures were shared at a meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board, which heard the emotional wellbeing of some of the county’s ten and 11-yearolds was below the national average. A report to the meeting stated: “Particular groups of children are more likely to develop mental health problems. “Adverse childhood experiences such as being the victim of abuse, parental alcohol/substance use, poor parental mental health, and family instability can all impact on a child’s emotional wellbeing.” The report shared the findings of a happiness survey carried out in 2018 among 1,185 Year 6 pupils. Half of them said they had been bullied in the past year, with verbal bullying being the most common, while one-quarter said they never spoke to parents or teachers if they had problems or worries. The report also stated that the rate of self-harming among ten to 24-yearolds in West Sussex was higher than the national average, with young people aged 15-19 making up one-fifth of the county’s emergency hospital admissions for self-harm in 2017/18. None of these problems was new and, in 2015, the West Sussex local transformation plan was set up the aim of improving the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people.
Developed by the county council and the three clinical commissioning groups – Coastal West Sussex, Horsham and Mid-Sussex and Crawley – the plan helps to improve access to services and supports children and young people, whatever their needs. The document has to be refreshed every year by October 31 and the meeting was given a presentation about its progress and plans going forward. One big achievement was the launch of a face-to-face and online counselling service with YMCA Dialogue, while another was being named a mental health support teams trailblazer site. The aim is to place two teams in West Sussex schools. While the transformation plan has seen plenty of success, the report showed there was still work to be done. While there was an increase in the access children and young people had to emotional wellbeing and mental health services – higher then the NHS England target – the increased demand led to increased waiting lists/times. In addition, feedback from children and their parents/carers showed the referrals process for those needing the services was not clear. Going forward, the plan will focus on nine priority areas such as eating disorders, early intervention, prevention and targeted services and support, crisis care and urgent help, and working with the most vulnerable children and young people.

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk PAUL MARSHALL has been elected as the new leader of West Sussex County Council at a meeting of full council on Friday, October 18. Cllr Marshall said: "I am very proud and honoured to be the new leader of West Sussex County Council at this important time for our residents and staff. "My focus will be on delivering really good services to the residents of West Sussex. "In particular, my priorities are to make sure we make much-needed and significant improvements to our children’s services and our fire and rescue service, and meet the growing demands on adult services." He succeeds Cllr Louise Goldsmith, who stood down earlier this month and Cllr Marshall acknowledged her work as leader during nearly ten years in the role.

Dear Editor I read with interest your article in your October 11, edition (Issue 180) regarding raw sewage being released into Pagham harbour area. Well done, Sarah Logan, for bringing to attention this disgusting, but regular, discharge of raw sewage into the harbour area. Sarah is not the only person to spot this, it has been mentioned many times but conveniently buried and kept quiet. I have a small boat in Pagham and on many occasions I have been just off the beach and seen what is obviously raw sewage in the sea water, near to the harbour entrance. I am sure I am right by saying some years ago the council were told the water authorities couldn’t cope with much more sewage. I also believe they were at the time told, to ‘ deal with it’. Clearly the water company could not and still cannot ‘deal with it’. As such, they are allowed to discharge raw sewage into the sea. The greedy developers don’t give a
jot, they build, ruin areas, and leave with fat wallets. We, the residents, are left to pick up the pieces. They call it progress! Yours Sincerely Pete Wakeford Aldwick
Dear Editor, I have just been reading about A27 issues, yes a mess. Why don't we have a train stop (station) at Selsey? It stops at Chichester and Bognor Regis, so stop at Selsey. How many travellers (workers) would use that? That could take a few off the road and let's face it, how many times has the A27 been repaired? So much money has been spent on this road. Yours Sincerely, Marie Beazley Selsey

THE evenings may be drawing in as we move towards Christmas but a visit to the inspiring legacy of an internationally renowned garden designer and a plantswoman will lift anyone’s spirits! After an extended period of closure and following the death of founding father John Brookes, in March, 2018, the team at Denmans Garden in Fontwell have picked up the mantle and are continuing the renovations begun before his death. The four-acre garden – an absolute oasis of calm, is tucked immediately off the A27 dual-carriageway next to Fontwell Racecourse and is now owned by Gwendolyn van Paasschen, who is also chairman of the John BrookesDenmans Foundation, and in time plans of everydayto transfer ownership of the garden to the and fetchingfoundation.

From the 30 225937 or1930s, Joyce developed her self-taught rtners.org.uk skills as a plantswoman. “While John was important to Denmans, it is also
Joyce’s legacy because she really started it,” said Gwendolyn. “John, who was an established garden designer in the 1970s, brought students to see Joyce’s gravel gardens and after he moved here in 1980 their complementary talents led to today’s garden.” Now, following the closure period, John’s death and re-organisation, Denmans is again alive with gardening delight for all ages and all year round there is colour, interest and beauty around every corner. Work on renovating structures in the intimate contemporary garden is well underway and much of the new planting is now well established and settled, adding to the colour contrasts of shrubs and trees. Denmans boasts three full-time gardeners and Gwendolyn praised her “amazing” team for their hard work and the creation of a happy atmosphere to which regular visitors return time and again. For those who want to take home a little of the Denmans magic, seeds and plants are sold among other wares at the gift shop which, alongside the tearooms, are open without visiting the garden. Gwendolyn said: “It really is an incredibly special place with its own soul."

Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, and newcomer Kyliegh Curran star in the supernatural thriller, directed by Mike Flanagan, from his own screenplay based on the novel by Stephen King. Still irrevocably scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook, Dan Torrance has fought to find some semblance of peace. But that peace is shattered when he encounters Abra, a courageous teenager with her own powerful extrasensory gift, known as the shine. Instinctively recognising that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat and her followers, The True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality. Forming an unlikely alliance, Dan and Abra engage in a brutal life-or-death battle with Rose. Abra's innocence and fearless embrace of her shine compel Dan to call upon his own powers as never before - at once facing his fears and reawakening the ghosts of the past.

Youngsters can make their mark at museum YOUNG visitors to Amberley Museum will be making their mark with printing being one of the extra activities on offer at the open-air musuem and heritage centre. This fun drop-in printing workshop will get the whole family exploring different printmaking techniques. Younger children can explore patterns as they print their own marbled paper. With a 36-acre site and several woodland walks at Amberley, there will be plenty of autumn inspiration all around with the opportunity to create some beautiful leaf prints on fabric. Relief printing will also be available - the lines and shapes carved into the printing block will have no ink on them and the print will reveal the parts that haven‘t been carved. After trying out the activities, one of the most extensive working print shops in the south east will be open for
visitors to see some of the historic printing presses in operation. Suitable for all ages with equipment provided, these drop-in workshops will run from 11am-1pm and 2pm-4pm from Wednesday, October 30, to Friday, November 1. In addition to these extra half term activities, the narrowgauge railway and historic buses will be in operation, as well as all the usual informative and interesting exhibition areas in the former chalk and lime quarry. Amberley Museum is open 10am until 4.30pm, Wednesdays to Sundays, with last entry one hour before closing. The Limeburners Café serves a variety of sandwiches and snacks with hot food at lunchtime.

Minimally Invasive Treatment for Varicose Veins Nuffield Health 78 Broyle Road, Chichester, PO19 6WB 01243 884728 www.nuffieldhealth.com VARICOSE veins are a very common condition occurring in up to 30% of the population, more frequently in women. A vein is said to be varicosed when it has become tortuous and dilated, and hence very prominent, although many use the term to include small thread and spider veins. Varicose veins are caused when vein valves fail, the common sites being the valves in the groin and behind the knee. The valves ensure blood flows in one direction only; failure results in the blood travelling in the wrong direction in the vein, so called reflux, and this exerts high pressure on the vein causing varicose veins. Varicose veins cause a spectrum of symptoms ranging from cosmetic effects, through to aching and discomfort within the legs, limb swelling and finally skin changes that may result in ulceration; varicose veins are the most common cause of leg ulceration with 90% of ulcers resulting from valve failure. Early skin changes include eczema, brown discolouration and a thickening and loss of elasticity of the skin - these changes are particularly common on the inside of the ankle and lower leg. Treatment for varicose veins is by no means always necessary and although many patients desire treatment for cosmetic reasons, it is very reasonable to not seek intervention for veins that are causing no problems. Where veins are causing significant pain or discomfort intervention is
generally very successful in alleviating symptoms and it is very much for the individual patient to decide if their level of discomfort warrants treatment. Intervention however should always be offered where there are skin changes, bleeding from the veins or ulceration. Before discussing the treatment options with you your surgeon should perform, or arrange for you to undergo, a duplex ultrasound examination. This gives information about both the anatomy of the veins and how the blood is flowing within them and seeks to answer two questions. Firstly, which valve and which vein system is at fault, and secondly, which of the available treatments are you technically suitable for. Duplex ultrasound is pain free, non-invasive and without any side effects and no patient should undergo treatment of their varicose veins without an initial ultrasound assessment. Traditionally varicose veins were treated with a stripping operation. For some this remains the only technique suitable, and it remains a safe and effective treatment. However it has a number of disadvantages including the need for a general anaesthetic, the placing of an incision in the groin, a prolonged period before normal activity is resumed and post operative discomfort. Fortunately most patients are suitable for a more modern technique called endothermal ablation, the main dysfunctional vein being treated either with radiofrequency energy or by laser. Endothermal ablation involves the passage of a radiofrequency catheter or laser fibre into the vein through a tiny incision of just a few millimetres. Most patients are treated using a local anaesthetic technique where fluid is injected around the vein
itself using ultrasound guidance. The technique has a number of significant advantages, including the avoidance of general anaesthesia, rapid discharge following treatment, a far quicker return to normal activity and significantly reduced post-operative pain; the majority of my patients return to normal activity within 2-3 days, and most require no painkillers after the operation. Treatment is successful in around 98% of cases and complications, which may include deep vein thrombosis and thermal damage, are rare. In the seven years since we introduced the technique at the Nuffield Hospital, Chichester, we have not seen a significant complication. Recently, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recommended that all patients suitable for endothermal treatment should be offered this. Only those unsuitable, or who opt not to have it, should be considered for
injection treatment or traditional open surgery. A frequent concern voiced by patients is the risk of recurrence following the treatment of varicose veins and many seem to feel this inevitable. Although there is an appreciable rate of recurrence it is by no means inevitable, with around one in five patients suffering a recurrence of varicose veins. So should you be seeking treatment for your varicose veins? Almost certainly if you are suffering from eczema or skin changes, quite possibly if you feel your symptoms are affecting your quality-of-life, and for cosmetic reasons‌ well that's for you to decide. Mr David Beattie is a Consultant Vascular and General Surgeon at Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital. For more information or to book a Private Consultation with Mr Beattie, please call 01243 884553.

The gym itself has such a relaxed atmosphere; the team are incredibly friendly and so encouraging. The members, who consist of a wide age range of men and women, are all extremely welcoming.

DENISE KELLY A passionate and motivated 'health expert/nutritionist.
Super charge health for men www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@thewellbeingcompanyltd. com I HAVEN’T forgotten that last week I covered menopause, so it was all things female, and promised you guys out there that this week I would have something for you! When it comes to men’s health, it can often take a back seat compared to women, and you men deserve a look in! Us ladies are far better at discussing our issues openly compared to men and according to data, men generally avoid going to the doctors, skip more recommended screenings, and are more likely to practise riskier behaviour! Men are more likely to die sooner, live with more years of bad health, and have higher suicide rates. Of course, you cannot completely generalise, as all men and women are different, and things are slowly beginning to shift. Increasingly, there is more growing recognition that treating preventable causes of death and disability could close the medical gender gap, and we all need to do our bit to push our men to get checks, see the GP if something is not right, and live happier, healthier lives
wherever possible. The most common conditions affecting men’s health are heart disease, prostate, testicular and colon cancer, and in later life osteoporosis. Chronic lower respiratory disease and stroke are also on the radar, as are mental health issues. I cannot emphasise enough how keeping the body in balance is vital. If you are an excessive drinker, smoker, and zero exercise person, and live on fish and chips every day, your risks are going to increase. Mindful meditation and exercises such as yoga are ridiculously good for you guys, as it's more common for you to hide your stresses and emotions, causing internal turmoil on your body, contributing to more risk of mental health issues. I know some of you may be thinking 'I’m not going to Yoga! No way!' But it’s meant to be a man’s sport and the physical body you can also gain from regular yoga practise is extremely powerful and defined. Think Greek God! So, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Exercise is key, enough rest and sleep time is important, spending time in the fresh air is essential, drinking enough water and eating nutritious foods daily to keep your heart, hormones, digestion, muscles, bones and brain in tip top
LEEKS support sexual functioning and reduce the risk of prostate cancer
condition will all contribute to a more balanced you. There are many common everyday foods you can also be eating to help more than you may realise. 1. Leeks – They can support sexual functioning and reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Chop the green part of a medium leek into thin ribbons and add it to soups, sautés, and salads as often as possible. These cousins of garlic and onions are also packed with bone-bolstering thiamine, riboflavin, calcium, and potassium, and they're also rich in folic acid, a B vitamin that studies have shown to lower levels of the artery-damaging amino acid homocystein in the blood. 2. Artichokes – Lauded for centuries as an aphrodisiac, this fiber-rich
plant contains more bone-building magnesium and potassium than any other vegetable. Its leaves are also rich in flavonoids and polyphenol, antioxidants that can cut the risk of stroke. They are also high in vitamin C, which helps maintain the immune system. Basically, eat them as often as you can! Ripe ones feel heavy for their size and squeak when squeezed. 3. Ginger - Contrary to popular belief, ginger, which is a piquant addition to so many Asian dishes, is not a root, it's a stem, which means it contains living compounds that improve your health. Chief among them is gingerol, a cancer suppressor that studies have shown to be particularly effective against that of the colon. Chop ginger or grind it fresh
and add to all your dishes, smoothies and juices daily! 4. Figs - Packed with potassium, manganese, and antioxidants, this fruit also helps support proper pH levels in the body, making it more difficult for pathogens to invade. The fibre in figs can lower insulin and blood-sugar levels, reducing the risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Select figs with dark skins (they contain more nutrients) and have them as a snack or add to your breakfast foods. It’s the simple things that make the difference - small changes! If you want a consultation for a health issue you are concerned about, or have a health worry that you would like to discuss please don’t hesitate to contact me.

CommunityNews&Views NODDY
NEWS THE ANIMAL welfare work we do at Mount Noddy is supported by generous donations from the public, as well as through fundraising events and charity shops. Although monetary donations are always gratefully received, people also donate their time by getting involved in volunteering, which is invaluable to us! We have volunteers for a variety of roles including keeping cats company, dog walking, reception events and we are also looking to recruit more fostering volunteers. So, if you have the time and are keen to get involved there is more than likely something that will suit you! On Mondays, Tula volunteers on reception. She gets involved in all of the duties and is a valued member of the extended team. Tula particularly enjoys conversations with potential adopters about animals we have at the centre. Reception can be an emotionally demanding role, too, as it is the first port of call when people need help. Volunteering on reception is certainly not for the faint-hearted! We also always appreciate people who want to come and spend some time with a cat in their pens or take a dog out for a walk. We have lots of regular volunteers who come and get involved, and of course this is massively appreciated by both the animals and centre staff. A volunteer taking a dog out frees up the animal care assistants' time, which they can then spend training or providing in-kennel entertainment. It’s vital that our residents have a variety of experiences, so volunteers helping with the daily husbandry is much appreciated by everyone. We also rely heavily on fostering volunteers, who open up their homes to centre animals while they wait for a permanent residence. Providing a more familiar environment for cats and dogs can really improve their welfare. Tracy Hodge is a fostering volunteer who has recently transformed the lives of three kittens. They were very afraid of people when they arrived at Tracy’s home, showing no interest in toys and spent most of the time hiding in the wardrobe. With patience, kindness and understanding from Tracy and her son, Samuel, their behaviour improved dramatically in just over a month. They all became much more confident and began to seek Tracy and Samuel's attention. They also relaxed enough to enjoy playing with each other and also Tracy. One kitten even developed a liking for fetch games! All three kittens have since gone to new homes, settling in with ease. None of this would have been possible without Tracy’s time, kindness and willingness to open up her home to animals in need. Tracy describes fostering as one of the best things she has ever done! ‘Fostering kittens and cats is very enjoyable and knowing that we have helped them on their journey to finding loving forever homes makes us feel very happy. The process is so very rewarding, and we feel honoured to have these cute, sometimes scared, but fun cats to enjoy in our home, safe in the knowledge that we are able to enhance and enrich their lives... Happy Days!’
WITH a Parliamentary role that includes encouraging developers to adopt more sustainable building methods, Chichester’s MP Gillian Keegan took a keen interest in the eco-build education centre at Tuppenny Barn, Southbourne, during a recent visit. With its straw bale walls and extensive use of natural materials, the centre is a muchused example of sustainable building as well as a focal point for schoolchildren wishing to learn about healthy eating and responsible lifestyles. The MP was given a tour of the building and organic growing areas by Maggie Haynes, Tuppenny Barn founder and chief executive. “This visit was important to us as we were able to tell
NEXT MONTH, Selsey Town Council’s lantern parade will be at the centre of this years’ Christmas celebrations. Last year’s parade saw 350 people taking part, led by local school children, a great display of both festive and community spirit. This year, the council incorporates its celebration of the local fishing industry into its Christmas preparations with the Sea’s The Day project supporting two willow lantern workshops in November using traditional materials. Cllr Glenda Baum, chairman of the events working group, explained further: "We’re delighted to team up with Creative Willow, which will be running the workshops at The Selsey Centre, using willow
our MP about the benefits of our work for our education charity and the positivity it has created,” said Maggie. “She took a keen interest in how the education centre was built and the costings and wanted to know more about our school visit programme and the nurture in nature horticultural therapy project. “She was also enthusiastic to hear about the pop up biweekly produce shop and its links to the local community.” Earlier, Mrs Keegan, in her role as Parliamentary chairman of the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development, had visited a low-energy house, called a PassivHaus, designed by Ruth Butler, a local award-winning architect.
once locally harvested and used by Selsey fisherman as shown in the Sea’s The Day project. "This will be a great opportunity to make your own traditional lantern to truly light up the evening on November 30." The workshops will take place on November 9 and 16 at The Selsey Centre. Lantern making tickets are only £2 each while accompanying parent/carer tickets can be booked free of charge. Tickets can be booked at Selsey Town Council or online at: ticketsource. The Festive Lantern Parade will take place on November 30, as part of the Town Councils’ Christmas lights event in Selsey High Street.
CHICHESTER’S last Swap Shop of the year is on Saturday, October 26 – a great opportunity to declutter, recycle, and even find the odd Christmas present or two for free. Transition Chichester’s ever-popular free exchange event is back at the Newell Centre, Tozer Way, from 10am to 12.30pm, with a pop-up café serving homemade soup and bread, and cakes. Take along any good quality, pre-loved items including clothing and fabric, books and DVDs, homeware, toys, stationery and tools – all clean and unbroken please – and take any amount away, all for free. There will also be a rail of clothing for sale to aid the Help Refugees charity in Calais. Swap Shop co-ordinator Sue Gilson said: "We look forward to Swap Shop so much as it always has such a happy, buzzy atmosphere. "Swap shoppers are always grateful to be able to pass on good items and know they will be very much appreciated, and delighted to go home with treasures they have found. "Incredibly, Swap Shop will have been held in Chichester for ten years next year, encouraging recycling, reusing and repairing in the city, and keeping so much stuff out of landfill. "Thank you so much to all our supporters and volunteers who have made this happen." For more information or to offer to help, please email: suegilsonhome@aol.com
RESIDENTS are being urged to light fires with ‘cleaner’ materials this winter as part of a campaign to cut pollution. The ‘Clean Burn Sussex’ campaign encourages people with solid fuel open fires or stoves to consider the type of wood or coal they use in order to reduce the release of harmful gases and particles into the air. Well-seasoned or kiln dried logs with a water content of less than 20 per cent are recommended as these give a cleaner, hotter burn. Smokeless coal, wood pellets, briquettes and heat logs are also preferable. Another way to reduce pollution is to switch to EcoDesign Ready Stoves which can cut harmful emissions by up to 80 per cent compared to an older stove and up to 90 per cent compared to an open fire Cllr Deborah Urquhart, West Sussex County Council cabinet member for environment, said: “As the weather gets colder, it becomes more and more tempting to warm up with a log fire at home. “Many people don’t realise that the traditional wood and coal fuel we use in our fires actually have a very negative impact on both the environment and our health. “The emissions they release are particularly damaging for those people with respiratory conditions including asthma. “We are therefore encouraging people to switch to these cleaner alternatives.” Before lighting a log fire or stove, make sure the chimney or flue is properly swept and cleaned to help prevent a fire from breaking out. Other safety precautions include using a spark guard, extinguishing the fire before going to bed, and fitting a smoke alarm. The air quality partnership Sussex Air has received £32,000 of government funding for the campaign, which runs across East and West Sussex and Brighton and Hove. The domestic burning of solid fuels on open fires and closed stoves is currently the main contributor of ‘particulate matter’ in the air, making up 38 per cent of the total.

Smuggling across the Chichester district By Amy Roberts, collections officer at the Novium Museum
f A representation of members of the Hawkhurst Gang breaking into the Custom House at Poole to recapture previously seized goods AS LONG as there have been customs controls there has been smuggling – from the earliest times right up to present day. Historically the isolation of the Sussex coast, with its sparse settlements and the close proximity to France, made it an ideal haunt for smugglers. Contraband was landed on virtually every holiday beach from Whitstable round to the Witterings and beyond. Though Chichester’s shores were further away from the main London markets, there were considerable natural advantages to smuggling along the Chichester coastline. The great tidal estuaries which form Langstone, Chichester and Pagham harbours provided sheltered and secluded landing sites and the racing tide through each narrow harbour entrance could be utilised to transport goods in rafts or floating tubs. In addition to this, the great lengths of shoreline, mud flats and tidal estuaries made parts of the harbour difficult to navigate for the often solitary riding officer tasked with the enforcement of law and order in relation to smuggling offences. In 1275, Edward I imposed a duty on the export of wool. It was at this same time the first evidence of organised smuggling emerged. Chichester was one of the wool ports named in the Statute of the Staple of 1353 and as such was one of the few places through which wool could be legally exported. There is also, however, ample evidence that this legal trade was accompanied by illegal trafficking. Over the centuries, the nature and scale of smuggling changed. Excise taxes were introduced on imported goods which shifted the focus of smuggling to items such as tea, coffee, sugar, chocolate, sherbet, wines, spirits, fine silks, lace, tobacco, salt and pepper.
The tales of the infamous Hawkhurst gang are well known in these parts, so instead this article will highlight some of the other lesser known local stories. On Monday, November 20, 1786, the Sussex Weekly Advertiser reported ‘Last week, Mr Ragless, riding-officer, at Flepham, seized 21 casks of Geneva, by the following stratagem: seeing a number of smugglers running their goods, near Ellmore, he went home and dressed himself in his wife’s clothes, and being so disguised, passed the smugglers spies unsuspecting, untill he arrived at the spot when they were in action, when he made good his seizure as above, and afterwards safely lodge the same in Arundel Custom House…’ The same week, Messrs. Ragless and Duke, riding officers, seized a boat containing 48 casks of Geneva, as it was running on shore near Pagham Point. The liquor they afterwards conveyed to his Majesty’s customhouse at Chichester.’ A few years later, another report by the Sussex Weekly Advertiser for Monday, August 17, stated ‘Last Thursday night, as the crew of a smuggling cutter, laden with spirits and tobacco, were employed in running their cargo, by means of their boat which they had sent on-shore near Eastbourne, laden, they were surprised by the “Stag” Custom House cutter, belonging to Chichester, the officer of which dispatched a boat, well manned and armed, to make seizure of the smuggling boat; but the people coming, as they supposed, to their assistance, resolved in maintaining the cargo, which the crew of the “Stag” perceiving, hove nearer into shore, and fired many shots of the smugglers, with a view to bringing them to a quiet surrender; but this was not producing the desired effect, they then fired

into the boat, and killed one of the smugglers, named Jesse Colman, dead on the spot, and desperately wounded two others, when they made good their seizure, and sailed with it to the westward.’ In 1868 the West Sussex Gazette reported on ‘The story of a sherry cask’. On the evening of March 20, 1868, a coastguard boatman saw a fisherman named Legg with something in tow which resembled a wine cask. In the morning, Legg was asked what kind of cask it was, to which he replied that it was an old cask and, finding it troublesome he let it go. The following morning the cask appears to have fallen into the hands of William Petts,
who was returning from dredging. He tried to get the cask ashore, but there was a strong breeze and he was obliged to cut it adrift. The next morning it was alleged that a cask of sherry containing from 100 to 120 gallons had been landed and that it had been the means of making many Selsey residents ‘joyous’. The chief officer of the Selsey coastguard station made his way to a copse in the neighbourhood, and there he discovered a cask supposed to hold 120 gallons of sherry, but which in reality had been sucked down to two gallons; and by the side of this cask he found a farm labourer excessively drunk.

City urged to stay focused HISTORY makers Chichester City are being urged to "stay on the train" after they cruised into the second round of the FA Cup for the first time ever. Not so long ago the Oaklands Park club was on the brink of going out of business. But, following last weekend's 2-1 win at Bowers & Pitsea and Monday's draw which gifted them a bye, Chi are now into round two of the world's oldest knockout competition for the first time in the club's history. It marks a dramatic turnaround in fortunes for City who are flying high in their first ever season in Isthmian South East after winning the SCFL Premier last season. The challenge for the club is to now keep their feet on the floor starting tomorrow with a trip to Hythe Town in the league (3pm). Coach Darin Killpartrick said: "This journey continues. We want
to stay on the train and not get off but we’ve got to keep the players grounded. "We’ve got league games to play. You have to enjoy these moments though because they don’t come around that often. I want everyone to enjoy this occasion. However, we still need to concentrate on the league." The last and only previous time a City side had made it to the first round of the world’s oldest knockout competition was in 1960 when they lost to Bristol City 11-0. Now they’ve done it again after battling through six rounds of qualifying, making them the last club standing who started their cup adventure in August in the extra preliminary round. The underdogs got off to a dream start at Bowers & Pitsea when Matt Axell put them ahead with a 15th minute penalty after Josh Clack was impeded by

f Matt Axell converts a penalty for Chi
Bowers skipper Martyn Stokes. Chichester doubled their lead through a freak goal on 20 minutes when a clearance cannoned off Kaleem Haitham and looped beyond the keeper. The Essex side looked for a way back into the match but were denied by City keeper Steve Mowthorpe until bagging a consolation in added time. For Axell, a 35-year-old who nearly called time on his playing career in the summer, it was a very special moment. He said: “I thought the opportunity to reach the first round proper had passed me by in my career, to get there this season completely vindicates the decision to carry on playing�. “It’s potentially missing out on these sort of moments that makes it so hard to stop – that was by far my best day in football!� On the game, the midfielder felt Chi were obviously afforded the rub of the green in how they went ahead but ultimately deserved the victory. He said: "You start to think it’s going to be your day when you get a penalty early on, then the second goal not long after in the
manner we did but I don’t think with how the game played out anyone could argue we didn’t deserve that bit of luck. "We didn’t play particularly well, on the ball. I felt we could have controlled the game a bit better in possession in the second half. "But understandably, nerves set in and we didn’t want to take too many risks which naturally invited them on to us." The bye means Chi now have a month to focus on the league before returning to FA Cup action. It also means the club win the £36,000 first round prize money without breaking sweat - although Chi officials vowed to make a donation to the correct organisation involved with the continuation of Bury Football Club, whose demise gifted City the bye. Speaking after the draw, Chi coach Danny Potter said: "It’s been very unfortunate circumstances for them. "If they start a phoenix club from last year they’ll need their money to go their next journey to get back up the league.�

Draw 'fantastic for the club' LAST weekend's victory for Chichester City sparked a rollercoaster weekend which ended with manager Miles Rutherford live on national television. As one of only two eighth-tier teams left in the FA Cup, the BBC cameras were keen to talk to the manager of the Oaklands Park side as part of their live draw. Manager Rutherford was invited up to Maldon & Tiptree - the only other nonleague side from step four left in the competition - as the balls were pulled out of the hat live on national television. After a spot of makeup, Rutherford then watched in anticipation as lucky number 71 was the last one of 79 called. With League One side Bury going out of business, it meant Chi went flying into the second round - bagging more than ÂŁ30,000 of prize money in the process. Rutherford was straight in front of the cameras, telling the BBC: "It’s what we wanted, it’s what we got. Fantastic for the club.â€? Keeper Steve Mowthorpe, who accompanied Rutherford, said: “It’s amazing. It’s fantastic to be in the next draw and still get the prize money. Except for a big
Sport 37
away day or home draw, it’s the best result.� It did not take long for those at Chichester to think about what could be. City coach Danny Potter, who was watching with players at Oaklands Park, said: "It would be great to host the next draw. And we’re one game away now potentially
from a Premier League side.� Chi will now have to wait another few weeks before they get back to FA Cup action. The first round is scheduled for November 8 with the second round draw on November 11 with those ties played on the weekend beginning November 29.
f The FA Cup draw at Oaklands
Lions head to Horley full of fight after narrow loss PAGHAM'S pursuit of their first league win in eight matches takes them to Horley Town tomorrow (3pm). Bob Paine's young side are improving as the season rolls on - but now is the time to start picking up points. The Lions, who are currently third bottom of the SCFL Premier, know they need to turn dominating possession into taking chances. Tomorrow's match will be a tough test against a side who are currently fourth in the standings. That will be followed by a home match against Newhaven in the Peter Bentley Cup on Tuesday (7.45pm). Lions will look to draw the positives from their last performance which saw them a few centimetres away from picking up a well-deserved draw, Pagham dominated the opening period against in form United but were unable to find the breakthrough. Into the second period and the visitors took control of the match with two quickly-taken goals putting them in front. But whatever else this Lions side lack, it is not heart or spirit and they flew at the United
defence in waves. On 74 minutes, Tom Chalaye slid his shot just wide of the post, before, less than a minute later, Cian Tilley headed home from close in and the Lions were back in the game. A penalty for a trip on Chalaye with five minutes left gave them the perfect chance. But the sub unfortunately struck the ball wide of the goal. Tilley then almost stole a point, but his header was cleared off the line late on. In SCFL Division One Selsey welcome Bexhill United to the Bunn Leisure Stadium tomorrow (3pm) in the league cup. Blues, who have won just once in eight matches in all competitions, had their match against Seaford postponed last weekend. They will be looking for revenge against Bexhill who beat them 2-0 in the league just three weeks ago. In SCFL Division Two Bosham are hunting their first win in six as the head to Rustington (3pm). Goals from Alex Barnes and Joel Jackson were not enough to inspire the Robins to victory over ten-men Montpelier Villa as they lost 3-2 in the Division Two challenge Cup.
Sportinbrief î ? Women's Football CHICHESTER City Ladies return to action this week looking to pick up their first league win of the season. After a tough start, Sadie Blakely's side look to be showing positive signs in recent weeks. A young side are starting to show improvements on the pitch which led to a first victory of the season a fortnight ago. Chi will now look to build on that 4-2 extra time victory over lower-league Swindon Town in the National Vase when they head to Keynsham Town on Sunday (2pm). The hosts are currently bottom of the FA Women's National Southern Premier, having picked up no points
from their opening six matches. Chi are just two places and one point above them, with a 1-1 draw at Gillingham the only positive result to show this far in a competitive division. Blakely's side will have the perfect chance to correct that in the west country this weekend. They will look to pick up where they left off a fortnight ago when a good all round team performance helped them come from a goal behind to overcome the Robins. --City's Development Squad put in a strong showing in a 2-0 loss to Charlton Athletic's development squad at Sidlesham last weekend.

Bognor and Chi on the hunt for victory
f Bognor Colts defeated Trojans 61-7
Bognor Colts smash Trojans BOGNOR COLTS began their journey to the RFU National Colts final at Twickenham with a comprehensive win over highflying Trojans at Hampshire Avenue last weekend. Near perfect conditions helped Bognor start in positive fashion. Fly half Ben Woolnough released Lewis Decarteret into space and the speedster needed only a metre to step his way past the cover to score the opening try. Bognor cut down many of the unenforced errors of previous weeks and added a second through Tyrone Masaki, who left the Trojans' cover for dead as he skated home to score in the corner. Decarteret converted from the touchline. The lightning start continued. Scrum half Alfie Spurle took a quick tap on halfway, taking the visitors by surprise and sped round the outside to score. German under 18 international Finn Glass put Bognor on the front foot. Smart play from Owen Henton gave Decarteret space to race over. Gus Haplik was next on the
scoresheet as he took a pass from Masaki to run in from half way. Trojans hit back – their strong running centre cutting through and feeding his speedy winger for a great try under the posts. In reply, strong running from James Billingham gave Decarteret room to touch down for his hat trick. Half time 40–7. Bognor made a raft of changes at half time which stopped their flow initially. But the two Charlies - Weller and Jays - linked well to give Bradley Smith the platform to crash over. Then Jack Hickman and Ollie Page combined to allow Spurle to scamper under the posts for a great team try. Decarteret ended proceedings after a majestic run from Foote which included a dozen elaborate dummies that astounded the crowd. Decarteret converted for a personal haul of 36 points. Bognor Greens now wait to find out their second round opponents while the Purples travel to Cranleigh for a friendly fixture.
BOGNOR RFC will be looking to make it backto-back wins as they look to continue their surge up the Hampshire Premiership table. The Purple and Greens picked up an impressive 37-22 victory over New Milton 7 District at Hampshire Avenue last weekend. The bonus point win has lifted Bognor up to seventh in the table with a spot in the top half of the standings in their grasp. Next up is a trip to Alresford tomorrow (3pm), a side who are two spots below the Purple and Greens after winning just two of their opening six matches. Another side looking to get their campaign back on track is Chichester, who are now eighth after losing on the road in central London last weekend. Blues have not yet found consistency in London South One, winning three and losing four of their opening seven matches. The latest defeat came at newly promoted Honourable Artillery Company last weekend when Chi returned home with a losing bonus point after a 16-10 loss. Next up is a home match against seventhplace Cobham, who visit Oaklands Park tomorrow (3pm).
Blues will look to make a better start than at HAC when the home side spent the first quarter camped inside the Blues' half, bagging two penalties for their pressure. Blues got a foothold, Zac Conoly making ground on a rare foray into the opposition half. From the ruck, Sandy Wheatley passed to Sam Renwick who burst through a gap in the defence to dot in the corner. 6-5. But HAC responded immediately, seizing on an interception to run in under the posts. 13-5 at the break. Chi came out the blocks and immediately had HAC under pressure. A clever grubber kick from Rhys Thompson was inches from being touched down by Matt McLagan. The referee called back McLagan when he was clean through for a Blues penalty. But it was HAC who added to their score, slotting over another penalty. Undaunted, Chi pinned the home side back and threw the kitchen sink at them. HAC were shown two further yellow cards in the final 10 minutes of the match, reducing them to 13. Blues took advantage with young winger Stewart Ellaby touching down to seal a losing bonus point.

Blake backing Rocks to keep winning games

NEXT GAME
ROCKS coach Robbie Blake has said he wouldn't swap his side for anyone after Bognor picked up six points from six in the last week. The Nyewood Lane side have had an inconsistent start to the Isthmian Premier season, languishing in the bottom half of the table. But two wins in the space of a week - first at leaders Folkestone Invicta, then in midweek at a strong Kingstonian side - has lifted spirits. Rocks are now are in the top half, with fans at the New Camp hoping Jack Pearce's charges are heading in the right direction. With a trip to Isthmian South Central side Uxbridge in the FA Trophy tomorrow (3pm) Blake is urging his side to keep up their good form. Speaking after the Folkestone win, Blake said: "They're engaged to where we need to be. "When we are at it and with it I wouldn't swap any players for any team in this league. "It's small steps but a step in the right direction, we need to keep building on it. "With the points tally at the minute it will take three or four wins on the spin before we start moving up places." Rocks took the lead on the Kent coast through a powerful James
Crane header. After the home side equalised, it looked like the match was heading for a draw before Dan Smith struck late to win three points for Bognor. That was followed by a professional 1-0 win at Kingstonian in midweek, with Ashton Leigh getting the winner. Speaking after the Folkestone win, Blake praised Invicta as "probably the best team we've played". However he reserved special praise for match winner Smith, who will take on more responsibility with Jimmy Muitt's departure to Dorking. Blake said: "One thing about Smudger [Smith] is he is a great professional. No one can say that whatever he gets out of this career he has missed out because of his attitude or commitment. "He is a credit to himself and he's a credit to us and we're very grateful and thankful we have him." The Rocks' back-to-back wins came with new keeper Amadou Tangara between the sticks, the fifth number one the club have had so far this season. Blake said: "It looks like we finally have someone with stature. "He's 27 years old, experienced at this level and in the long run I think he will be massive for us."

Jimmy departs for Dorking SHARPSHOOTER Jimmy Muitt has quit Bognor to make the move to National League South side Dorking Wanderers. The Rocks' top scorer from last season has been lured to play for Marc White's side with the chief attraction said to be playing the game at a higher level. The Meadowbank outfit currently sit fourth in the league table following promotion last season. Muitt, 24, joined the Rocks from Brighton after a serious knee injury scuppered his chances with the Seagulls. His boundless energy and keen eye for a goal ensured he quickly became a fan favourite, inspiring his own song to the tune of Reel 2 Real's I Like To Move It. Although Bognor boss Jack Pearce acknowledges it is a blow to lose a player as talented as the jet-heeled attacker, he says he couldn't stand in his way. The Rocks manager said: “Jimmy has been a fabulous servant to the club and any club would miss having a player in their ranks with the ability he has. "But we understand entirely his desire to play at the highest standard possible and so although it isn't ideal, Jimmy leaves with our heartfelt thanks for all of his efforts on our behalf. "We wish Jimmy all the very best as he makes the step up to join Dorking Wanderers and we look forward to seeing him do well.
"Make no mistake we have already begun the search to try to replace him, which won't be easy." Muitt had scored five goals from 12 appearances for the Rocks this season. After his first few seasons at the club had long spells either on the subs bench or the treatment table, he made his name last
season, scoring 26 goals before his injury partly halted Bognor's promotion push. Muitt returned in time to help the club lift the Sussex Senior Cup at The Amex. He will be remembered by many Rocks fans for a rocket of a strike against Leyton Orient which Nye Camp regulars rank among the best they have seen.

NYECAMP NEWS by Liam Goodley
WELL, what a week it's been for the Rocks. These past two matches have been terrific to watch from a fan’s point of view. There isn’t a much better feeling than seeing Bognor playing quality football away and getting wins. We have picked up two good results - the first at Folkestone Invicta, who are flying in the league, with a 2-1 win, and the second away in midweek to an impressive Kingstonian side (1-0). Our resolute style and recent killer instinct has certainly helped us grind these results out but the additions we have made in Joe Cook, Joe Hancott and Amadou Tangara, among others, has really bolstered the ranks. We certainly had a bad day against a hard-to-break-down Potters Bar Town (losing 4-0) who were set up to deny our attackers much of a chance at goal throughout the game. It was frustrating as again our errors cost us. We have gone through some goalkeepers this season, which has unsettled things in general and this really came to the fore in this game. What worried me the most about the match against the Scholars was the rarity in which we committed their goalkeeper, which was unlike the other four games in the past month where we have enjoyed some fantastic football and caused other teams problems. Prior to the Kingstonian game, I was sad to hear of the departure of Jimmy Muitt. Jimmy has been a great player for us and I don’t blame him for signing for a higher ranked side in Dorking Wanderers.
He now joins Jason Prior and Sami El-Abd at that club and I am sure they will be a force in that National South. I will always remember that goal he scored against Leyton Orient at the Lane. What a night that was! He was also influential and a key part of our recent county cup triumph and always gave 100 per cent. Whether we have seen the last of Jimmy is yet to be seen but I think its fair to say he has a bright future ahead of him. Sorry you are leaving, Jimmy, but thanks for all the effort you have put in for the Green Army. We still like to Muitt-Muitt! I have to say a big well done to Chichester City for reaching the second round proper of the FA Cup. Dabba and Miles have really got things together at that club and its great to see them attain this success. You could see what it meant to the whole team as they were drawn out last (after Bury’s collapse) and pick up an instant £36k! What we wouldn’t do for a similar situation at Bognor though hey! Maybe next year? I am really looking forward to taking on Uxbridge in the FA Trophy tomorrow. Everyone remembers our FA Trophy run in 2015/16 and our trip to Grimsby Town and it would be great to get a similar run together. Another away fixture, followed by Bowers & Pitsea next Tuesday will end a tough run of away days, though we have done well in recent matches! Chris, the coach driver, has certainly had his fair share of Rocks on Tour shifts recently! See you there! UP THE ROCKS
