A BUILDER from Selsey said he thought he was on the verge of having a heart attack when he found out he had won the jackpot in a EuroMillions draw.

THe lottery draw from Tuesday, November 19, saw the family an amazing £105,100,701.90 better off.

THe family won on the 25th birthday of THe National Lottery and were the ninth biggest winners in the country.

Steve THomson, 42, discovered the win while waiting to be picked up for work on Friday, November 22. THe self-employed builder only checked his ticket as his work partner was running late.

Sat at home alone, he wasn’t aware that a UK winner had banked the giant jackpot when he scanned down his three lines comparing them to the winning numbers.

Steve said: "I am not sure I even looked at the first two lines, the third one just jumped out and I could instantly tell they all matched. I started shaking a lot.

I knew it was a really big win but didn’t know what to do.

"I went out to my van, walked back in, thought about knocking on a neighbour’s door, went back to the van. I think I was on the verge of having a heart attack."

Steve decided that he had to tell his wife and quickly drove to the local shop where Lenka, 41, works.

She said: "As soon as he walked in I thought something was wrong and he said he had to talk to me immediately.”

THe couple sat in Steve’s works van and he shakily handed Lenka the ticket. She checked it and then scanned it using the National Lottery App and was overjoyed to see what she thought was a £105,000 win.

Immediately asking if they could go

away somewhere for Christmas, Steve had to point out the win was far more than that.

THe couple then both went off to work for the day promising to sort it all out later in the day and Steve put the winning ticket back in his wallet.

It was a long weekend for the couple after calling Camelot to confirm the win, with both Steve and Lenka admitting it had been tough to sleep and keep the news quiet. Lenka has even found herself awake and washing up in the middle of the night. THey told their family and close friends but then wanted to fully enjoy their win by sharing the news with everyone.

Steve said: “It would be so difficult to live a lie and not tell anyone about the win, especially with the fact we can both

By Kelly Wick stop working and move house.”

However, conscientious builder Stevekelly.wickham has promised not to leave any of his clients or his partner in the lurch. HeA UNIQUE f said: “I would have got all my jobs donethe city cen

by Christmas if this hadn’t happened!use the high Once I am over the shock I will need THe Elf to keep doing something, I am not theChichester B type just to sit still. My business partnerof Christm knows that if he needs a hand I’ll becrowds to th THe team h there.”

THe couple, who have been together foran accompa 17 years, met while working at a leisurethe city cen complex in Selsey. Both say that this winfollow the tr and their n is all about family.

Steve said: “THe children haven’t askedcompetition for much at all. His own room will be everything to our eldest son, who is 15.

Our other son did ask for a Tesla but he is only ten. And our daughter, who is eight, has her sights firmly set on a pink iPhone.”

Steve bought his winning ticket from East Beach PO and Candy Store in Selsey and the winning EuroMillions numbers from the draw were 08, 10, 15, 30, 42 and the Lucky Stars numbers were 04 and 06.

Goodwood world record attempt FRIENDS and former colleagues Marcus Green and Phil Rossall are aiming to break the Guinness world record for the full marathon wheelchair push at the iconic Goodwood Motor Circuit.

Phil was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2016 and wasn’t expected to live beyond two years.

He is now unable to move his limbs or breathe for himself, but he is determined to raise awareness and funds for people living with MND. A fan of motor racing and all things car-related, Phil is delighted to have the once in lifetime opportunity to go around Goodwood on December 8.

Earlier this year, the duo broke the world record for the half marathon wheelchair push, completing an event in Worthing in one hour, 29 minutes and 38 seconds – six minutes faster than the previous record.

Although Marcus is a very fast marathon runner, nine miles an hour is a huge ask for a sole runner pushing a wheelchair, a ventilator and a dead weight of 11 stone.

Marcus said: “Setting the world record for the half marathon push in Worthing was a wonderful accomplishment earlier in the year."

And meant a huge amount to Phil.

“Training has been intense since as this is another step up. Anything near the record time for the full 26.2 miles would be fantastic, while a break through the three hour barrier would be a major achievement, I am confident we can do this with a little bit more training."

THe current record is three hours and one minute, and is held by the same Canadian sportsman who held the record for the half marathon wheelchair push.

Have your-elf a very happy Christmas trail

f Eco-friendly products were shown to the Chancellor

From page one

f Staff at The Entertainer with their elf

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A UNIQUE festive trail has been set up in the city centre to encourage shoppers to use the high street this Christmas.

THe Elf Trail was created by the Chichester BID team as part of a package of Christmas entertainment drawing crowds to the city.

THe team has placed 12 elves, each with an accompanying children’s prize, around the city centre. Visitors simply need to follow the trail and locate all of the elves and their names, in order to enter the competition and have a chance to win

prizes as well as a special bonus prize.

Shops taking part in the trail include, Clothkits, Present Surprise, Good News newsagents and THe Entertainer.

Participants simply have to visit the shops on the Elf Trail list, write down their names and the add the letters on the front of the present each elf is guarding to make an anagram.

Chloe Smith, from Chichester, was with her daughter, Lizzie, aged six and her son, eight-year-old Teddy.

Chloe said: "We came to do some shopping this afternoon and then thought we would stay for the lights switch-on. We spotted an elf in one of the shops today

so we are going to have to come back to the shops so the kids can play the game another time.

"I think it's such a lovely idea because it gives the kids something to do while walking round the shops as they can get pretty bored!

"THe weather just needs to be a bit drier first before we go here, there and everywhere!"

Details of the Elf Trail are available in Chichester BID's festivities brochure, which is available from most retail outlets within the city centre, or you can download a copy from: chichesterbid.co.uk/ wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Elf-Trail.jpg

"Ultimately we don't pass that up which is why we said, yes, he is welcome to come along.

"I think the visit went very well. He got to see what we did. We were very nervous about timing but he is quite a quick walker which was good.

"As we walked around, we got the chance to put some of the issues to him, such as our customers needing certainty in getting the A27 sorted out.

"We can't see building materials if nobody is there to be the carpenter or the bricklayer, or whoever, and the world needs more people in the building trade as the current generation of builders are all getting older.

"We also put to him that the planning process is hopelessly bureaucratic and our customers largely are of the small and medium builders and developers and of course, bureaucracy bloods other bureaucracy so that favours the really big house-builders who can have big teams and people who know how to persuade planning officers that they really have got to give permission.

"Our guys tend to be people who are actually out on site during the day and doing it in the evening so again, we put that to him.

"We also said that the tax rules for family trading businesses which can be cast on to the next generation of business.

"If there were a change in the inheritance tax rules, that meant that shares in this company were taxable on transfer. We are not quite sure if

we would be able to continue this business for future generations."

Covers started in Chichester in 1846 and continues to be owned 100 per cent by the Green family.

THe company now has 14 sites and is one of the top 12 UK builders merchants. THey employ around 410 staff of whom 184 are in Chichester.

THey have recently invested around £3m in a new Southampton depot.

Mrs Keegan added: "It was very, very exciting to have the Chancellor here in Chichester. Obviously it is super busy at the election and he has been going around all the country so for him to make time to come to Chichester is brilliant. I was delighted.

"It was good for him to see the city and see Covers and get to know a little bit more about what goes on here.

"He had called me up and asked if it was OK to come to Chichester and asked where. Covers is quite a unique business, it's a family-owned business, it supplies a lot to help home-building in the area and a lot of eco-friendly products and I think that is going to be a huge focus going forward which I wanted him to see.

"I also wanted him to get a taste for the A27 in the rush-hour which is another part of the story. We all know we need to come up with a solution and have the backing of the Chancellor ,assuming we get a Conservative government."

Mr Green travelled to a special reception at Parliament in July after Mrs Keegan nominated Covers as Chichester’s constituency responsible business champion 2019.

129107 ` Green spaces ................

WITH the climate emergency high on the general election agenda, a survey by CPRE, the countryside charity, has revealed that 96 per cent of parents think it is important for children to experience green spaces first-hand and spend time in the natural world.

Findings reveal that political parties could harness ‘parent power’ to get them over the finishing line at the forthcoming general election by making it mandatory for every school child to visit the countryside, as part of the national curriculum.

Separate research by CPRE shows that 36 per cent of England’s population live too far from the current network of ten national parks and 34 AONBs for these areas to be classified as easily accessible.

CPRE has included improved access to green spaces for everyone in their 12 recommendations for how the next government can harness the potential of the countryside to promote a healthier economy and happier communities.

Children’s author and co-founder of Farms for City Children, Michael Morpurgo, and businesswoman and environmentalist Emma Bridgewater have added their voices to this call to action.

Emma, president of CPRE, said: “Younger people are leading the way in changing the way we treat our planet.

"Programmes like Blue Planet have done so much to raise awareness of the need to recycle and have succeeded in building awareness of the impact of climate change among children and young people."

Festive fireworks light up city's canal

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CHRISTMAS festivities at Chichester Canal started with a bang on Sunday.

THe Portsmouth Model Boat Display Team and the Chichester Model Boat Club showed off their illuminated model boats before escorting Father Christmas into the Basin.

Naturally, Santa arrived in the most appropriate method of transport – on the trip boat Richmond.

Santa had the important job of switching on the canal basin lights and the occasion was marked, as is becoming the canal’s tradition, with a short but

impressive firework display.

As the Georgia Ramblers played jazz on the cafe balcony, mulled wine, hot dogs and the obligatory mince pies were enjoyed by canal friends.

Meanwhile, volunteers reflected on the busy time ahead. All the Father Christmas cruises are now sold out, which will keep the volunteer deck and cabin crew busy with all hands on deck.

THe waterside cafe is open for business as usual until Christmas Eve for those who want to escape the seasonal hustle and bustle, or just get out of the cold and enjoy a nice hot drink.

Campaigners take part in a global hunger strike in city EXTINCTION REBELLION took to the city streets last Friday with drumming, banner-waving and chanting to bring attention to the Global Hunger Strike.

Governments around the world are being called upon to dramatically step up action in response to the climate emergency.

Four members of the local group, Juliet Mary Larken, Katherine Isobel Garda, Jill Schinas and Lynne Fornieles had joined 400 activists in 26 countries around the world who have gone without food since Monday, November 18, in solidarity with the world's starving.

More than 800 million people already suffer from hunger and starvation while billions more could

be at risk in the coming years as climate change hits food production, the activists say.

During the election period, Extinction Rebellion Chichester marched to the headquarters of the local political parties to raise the climate crisis issue.

Earth Strike - a general strike in defence of the planet will take place today (Friday) at the Cross, between 1pm and 4pm.

THe strike is currently supported by a number of trade unions, Extinction Rebellion Chichester and local youths.

THe day's focus will be on joining together to raise the alarm.

Museum market is so popular but it's road chaos for visitors

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

A COMBINATION of heavy rain and unexpectedly large numbers of visitors to its Christmas market led to roads chaos around the Weald and Downland Living Museum at Singleton.

THe popular annual event had been extended to a third day this year with plenty of customers visiting the 200-plus stalls scattered around the site's historic buildings, grounds and in marquees last Friday.

On Saturday, with the field used for parking becoming churned up into thick mud, visitors arriving from lunchtime onwards were unable to get into the museum grounds until others had left, causing frustrated drivers to park on roadside verges near the museum entrance and in the village of Singleton, leading to chaos on the narrow roads, especially as there was also an event nearby at Goodwood Racecourse.

Further rain late in the afternoon led market organisers to close the parking field and restrict entry on Sunday to pre-booked ticket holders and people arriving on foot with discounted entry for travellers by bus or bicycle.

Many disappointed people, who queued for up to an hour to reach the entrance then found they were unable to go in, expressed their upset on social media.

On Monday, museum marketing manager Emma Keen said: "Following last weekend’s Christmas market at the Weald and Downland Living Museum, we would

like to apologise to anyone unable to attend the event and for any inconvenience caused, due to the problems we experienced with car parking.

"THe issues came as a result of the high volume of rain in the run-up to the weekend as well as over the Friday and Saturday of the event. During the event we were forced to drastically reduce the parking available, in the interest of the health and safety of our visitors, which is something we take very seriously.

"To combat this, we kept everyone updated via our website and social media, and encouraged visitors to arrive by bus, bike or foot. We are offering refunds to anyone who pre-booked but could not access the Christmas market.

"THe Weald and Downland Living Museum recognises that the parking caused a significant issue to many people trying to attend the event as well as local residents, and we are very sorry for this. We are grateful for the support and understanding of the public as well as volunteers, staff and stall-holders, and are doing everything we can to review the issues and current policies in place to ensure this does not happen again."

For people who were able to visit, the market offered plenty of festive food and drink, such as roast chestnuts and warming mulled cider and mead, alongside stalls selling a wide range of

goods with an emphasis on originality and hand-crafted items, including ceramics, knitted garments and toys, jewellery, books and prints, wooden bowls, soap, candles and art.

Hayling Island donkeys were a popular attraction for young visitors and there were demonstrations of traditional skills

at the Tudor kitchen and newly-opened bakehouse.

Musicians throughout the weekend kept up spirits with seasonal tunes and songs. Performing were FB Pocket Orchestra, Chichester City Band, Southdowns Folk Singers, Worthing Silver Band, CFT's Get Singing! Choir, Sussex Folk Orchestra, Get Vocal Choir and Southdowns Concert Band.

A pop-up stand hosted by representatives of television's THe Repair Shop was a draw for many fans of the programme who were also able to look at the set where it is filmed in the museum's Court Barn and hear stories from behind the scenes.

` Police reports DURING the week from Monday, November 11, to Sunday, November 17, numerous reports were made to police, which included: In Truro Close, Chichester, between 2am and 6am on Monday, November 11, a property was entered through the lounge door and cash and a wedding ring were taken.

f Phil with his crowning glory pie

Secret santa? Stocking filler?

Give the gift of luxury this year.

Turner's Pies are fit for a Queen AWARD-WINNING baker Phil Turner was delighted when he got an order from Buckingham Palace for a shipment of his delicious pies.

Staff at Turner’s Pies were excited they had been given what they thought was the royal seal for their tasty offerings.

Phil, managing director of Turner's Pies, even went as far as encrusting a crown on the pies before they were dispatched to Her Majesty.

Phil said: "We had an order from a customer who gave a Buckingham Palace address and who wanted to use our pies by post service.

"It was gobsmacking really because surely there can be no bigger accolade than baking a pie for the Queen of England, let's face it!

"And so, we set about creating a very regal steak and kidney pie, with our master bakers taking time to carefully make a very special display of the ER emblem and a rather splendid crown. We were really chuffed with the outcome.

"We deliver within four days of an order being placed and we sent the special pies off, hoping

that perhaps this would be the start of an ongoing order.

"But we have heard nothing since and we can only think that they may well have been for members of Her Majesty's staff rather than the Queen herself so we’re not sure if she even got to tuck in.

"Being named in the Guild of Fine Foods' top 50 foods in the UK and having Harrods of Knightsbridge choosing to stock Turner’s Pies in their world-famous food halls means we know we make the best pies in the land so we know they are good enough for royalty.

“And you never know, with a bit of luck, Her Majesty and one or two other members of her family might have had the chance to try one of the pies!"

Turner’s Pies, voted class champion with their steak and mature cheddar pie at this year’s British Pie Awards, has four shops in West Sussex — in Worthing, Chichester, Bognor Regis and Rustington.

Campaigning for cyclists

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A FATAL collision in Chichester has left campaigners asking for changes.

THe accident involved a lorry and a pedal cyclist on the A259 Fishbourne Road West at the junction with Salthill Road, Chichester, just before 1.55pm on Wednesday last week. THe cyclist, a 45-year-old local woman, who has not been officially named yet, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Campaigners are raising questions about the safety of the road and cycle lane.

ChEmRoute is a project/campaign to provide safe, segregated and direct cycling provision between Chichester and Emsworth. Mr Rupert Emerson, former secretary of the project, said: "Another tragic fatality between Chichester and Emsworth was not only predictable, it was predicted to the authorities. Further deaths will occur and minor accidents continue while the excuse of insufficient money remains. We must reflect that if we want services we have to raise tax and spend wisely.

"Unfortunately, decisions being taken now mean that the ChEmRoute project for a safer A259 is already compromised with the failure to grasp the need to protect the route as it exits west from Chichester.

"If something is to be done about this

dangerous road it must be designed properly, otherwise 'improvements' could make matters worse not better.

"THere is no point wasting money on painting lines and pictures and it would be unwise to encourage cyclists onto the A259 if the cycle provision is not safely separated along a complete section. Work can be done in stages, from Chichester to Fishbourne and then Fishbourne to Bosham etc., but each stage has to be continuous, safe and direct.

"Transparency in local council decisionmaking is essential while nationally we need recognition the money thrown at 'smart' motorways is leading to horrible deaths, especially when no refuge or lane control is provided. More traffic is going to be fed our way from the enlarged M27 and this will impact the A27 and the A259.

Money must be redirected towards safe local cycle provision as part of a move away from our dependence on the motor car for every trip."

Cllr Sarah Sharp added: "We know how dangerous our roads are. THe ChEmRoute Campaign set out a vision that sadly the authorities have not been able to react adequately and now we have lost a valued member of the community."

Police want to speak to anyone who saw the collision or who may have dash cam footage. You can report this online or call 101, quoting Operation Davenham.

` Tree planting VOLUNTEERS from the Chichester Conservation and the Manhood Wildlife and Heritage Group will be planting trees at North Mundham.

On Sunday, from 10am – 3pm, trees will be planted in a field next to the recreation ground.

THere is parking in the North Mundham Village Hall and Playing Fields’ car park in School Lane.

Pop-up shops move to the city for Christmas

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

THREE businesses have moved into vacant shops in the city centre over the festive period.

Winter's Moon and Gnarly Tree are sharing a shop and next door is THe City Grocer.

Julie from Winter's Moon sells bespoke homeware and furniture, Gnarly Tree sells organic garments and the City Grocer is selling local produce.

Jonny Schofield started Gnarly Tree because he wanted to see the outdoor clothing industry better represent the life he leads with good design and great quality garments as he says - surfing in the UK rarely involves bikinis and sunshine.

He said: "I decided if I was going to pursue a clothing business I wanted to make sure that those producing it weren't being exploited and that the products were as sustainable as possible.

"Organic cotton production doesn't involve polluting pesticides or fertilisers and uses less water in production. THe cotton is also alternated with food crops, giving farmers more diverse income while improving food security within the local

community. Organic cotton isn't a luxury but a necessity if the industry is to be sustainable.

"I think everyone is increasingly aware of the impact cheap clothing has on workers and the environment, our mission is to encourage consumers to find garments they love, that is of a quality that will last and is made in a way which pays workers a fair wage and reduces the environmental impact as much as possible.

"Cheap clothing presents the consumer with an attractive offer but often hides the greater cost of fast fashion."

THe

three businesses opened their shops in North Street on Saturday, which coincided with the Christmas lights switch-on event.

Jonny continued: "Our opening weekend was incredible! We were blown away by the number of visitors we had and the enthusiastic response to seeing small local independents present in the high-street again.

"We feel incredibly lucky to have such

an prominent position in such a beautiful building - our landlord, John, has been very supportive. He's local and cares about Chichester and we're so grateful he's open to pop-up shops like ours.

Family switches on the city ready for the festive season

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

HUNDREDS of visitors to the city braved the rain and cold on Saturday evening to watch the annual lights switch-on.

THe annual Rotary clubs of Chichester Christmas tree blessing and switchon event began with the torchlight procession from East Street.

Pupils from Oakwood School treated crowds to carols with songs including Silent Night.

"As we have done in other years, we were delighted to sing at the turning on of the Christmas lights in Chichester to support our wider community," said head teacher Clare Bradbury.

"It is a highlight of our Christmas performing season for our pupils and despite the rain it put us all in a festive mood. Our choirs very much enjoy sharing their love of music at this time of year with visits to the hospice and local care homes.

"In particular, at this festive time of year, we teach our pupils to welcome and support others and look forward to hosting our second Funtington Community Christmas at Oakwood on Christmas Day." Canon Simon Holland gave a message to the community before he blessed the Rotary tree of goodwill.

Harry Garrow, of the Garrow family, from Heath End near Petworth, who donated this year's tree to the community, waited for the countdown and then pushed the button to light the

tree.

James Garrow said he donated the tree as he loves the city. He said: "I know they struggle to find a good tree and it was something I felt might help to raise money for good causes in Chichester.

"I love the city and it needs all the help it can get. THe tree has been in our garden but we are going to replace it now.

"It's been a very exciting night and it's been great to be part of it."

Doug Price, community chairman of Rotary Chichester Priory, said: "We are so pleased so many came to support this lovely event organised by the Rotary clubs of Chichester, in such bad weather.

"Well, it was wet, wet, wet, wet, but the Chichester communities came out with their lanterns and umbrellas and supported the Rotary Festival of Light magnificently and they came in such numbers with their lanterns and lit up the streets of Chichester.

"Oakwood school sang so well again at the tree to start the evening. TS Sturdy Marching Band then led the lantern parade, down East Street to the Rotary tree of goodwill. THe band were all lit up looking really good and playing so well.

Our town crier, Cllr Richard Plowman, headed the parade.

"A really nice and rewarding, if very wet, evening. Well done everyone. Some 40 Rotary marshals did a fine job in maintaining control during the event, and were so pleased and satisfied with the tree presented to the Chichester community this year."

After the lights in the main streets and

the tree were illuminated, the Chichester Community Choir sang, accompanied by the Chichester City Band.

Craig Younger-Sword, 1st Baritone player in the band, said: “From a player's view, after arriving and setting up, Chichester City Band waited for the marching band to arrive, along with the rain.

"Suddenly, it was our turn, starting with Hark the Herald Angels Sing along with the community choir. THere was a great response from the audience who joined in heartily along with the carols as we all got wetter and wetter.

"It was, despite our discomfort, an enjoyable start to the Christmas festivities.�

Mayor of the city, and town crier for the evening, Cllr Plowman added: "Despite the weather, nothing seemed to dampen the Christmas spirit and goodwill.

"It reminded me of those magical light switch-ons from years ago in Chichester before Christmas became over commercialised.

"It is a time of year when being town crier is one of the best jobs.

It was great for the children to ring the bell and enjoy themselves.

"THe city streets and Rotary tree of goodwill looked great and the lights really twinkled and sparkled.

A very special evening this year."

` Dementia book A DEMENTIA sufferer held a book launch at Waterstones in Chichester last week.

Peter Copeland, a carer for his wife, Ann, has published the book, which she wrote in the early stages of her dementia.

THe book is called “In THe Garden and other children’s poems” and is about doing little things to help people.

THe couple have agreed 100 per cent of the profits will go to Dementia Support in Tangmere.

Ann has written these poems to help identify some of the little things that make a significant difference so we can appreciate life better.

Peter said: "THis book is poignant, as Ann’s ability to enjoy life has diminished.

"We are excited to be able to assist Dementia Support, a young charity, which aims to help people like Ann live as well as possible.

"I wanted the donations to go to Dementia Support because in its first year, it has directly supported 500 people with dementia or those pre-diagnosis, plus their carers, family members and friends.

"But every three minutes somebody will develop dementia.

THere are 5,500 people living with dementia in our area, but currently the charity can only reach 10 per cent."

THe Dementia Support charity is based at Sage House in Tangmere.

It is the first dementia hub in the country, bringing local dementia services under one roof.

Rotary coffee and craft sale

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

MORE than £1,400 was raised on Saturday at the annual charity coffee and craft sale organised by the Rotary Club of Chichester Harbour.

THerese Brook, chairman of community services at Chichester Harbour Rotary Club, confirmed that all the money raised would go to families in need and those escaping domestic violence.

She said: "We're extremely pleased that our coffee morning and craft sale at the Martlets Restaurant raised £1,418.

"THese funds will be spent locally supporting families in need of our help in our community, along with those escaping domestic violence.

"THose fleeing domestic violence are often left with nothing but the clothes they stand in, so the club helps by providing basic items such as beds and white goods, along with clothing.

"Alongside this work, at this time of year the club puts together around 300 Christmas sacks which are then distributed to those most in need in our community."

THere were plenty of unique gifts on offer at the cafe for anybody still hunting for Christmas gifts and, of course, a chance for people to see Santa.

In addition to the pop-up cafe, each week the club supplements the work of the food bank by providing a range of clothing to those visiting.

THerese said: "None of this work could be achieved by the club without the help

of the local community and we would like to take the opportunity to say thank you for this support. It enables us to help others."

Hugh judges city's festive windows

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A SPECIAL guest walked around the city in the pouring rain on Saturday afternoon to help judge the festive window competition.

THe shops were looking fabulously festive ready for Chichester BID’s Christmas window competition, which was judged by Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville.

Nearly 30 retailers entered the competition to showcase their Christmas creativity. Categories included in the competition were gold, silver gilt, silver and judge's choice for both medium/large retailers and independents.

Leading the way for the gold award in the medium/ large retailer category was Cancer Research UK with a Victorian-inspired display. THere were not one but two gold-winning independent retailers, with Katie Loxton and the newly opened Cherry Vintage showcasing standout windows.

In total, there were 12 Silver Gilt winners, 11 of which were independents and one a chain retailer. Some wonderful creativity was seen in all the winners of the Silver Gilt category, including Hennings Wine and Lucy With Diamonds for the independents, and L’Occitane in the medium/large retailer category.

Chichester BID also organised a special judge’s choice award, selected by Hugh Bonneville as his overall favourite festive window display.

Hugh said he was impressed by the combined festive efforts of the independent retailers in Draper’s Yard, giving them the top award for their take on the 12 Days of Christmas. North Street's Between the Lines received a highly commended award for their sparkling display.

Hugh said: “THanks and congratulations to all the retailers who took part in the window display competition, making the streets of Chichester buzz with festive cheer.

"So many shops made an effort and it was wonderful to see such a great variety of imaginative

f Hugh at Cherry Vintage

ideas brought to life. What a glorious start to the Christmas season.”

Jeanette Hockley, Chichester BID members service manager, added: "THank you so much to Hugh for taking the time to support the huge effort and imagination channelled into the window displays by businesses in Chichester. We hope shoppers and visitors to the city take the time to appreciate and enjoy all the displays as well as the many festivities that will be happening over the next few weeks."

Winners

Chichester BID is encouraging the public to have their say in the people's choice award by taking a photo of the participating shop you feel has the best festive display

by December 13, and posting to social media using #ChiBidXmas.

THe shop with the most public votes will be declared the winner.

` Visual Advent A LARGE number of properties in St Martin’s Square will be displaying the numbers one to 24 in individual windows to create a visual Advent calendar.

In addition to this being bit of fun for the residents of the Square, children under the age of 14 are invited to record onto a map where each number is located – and they can win a prize if they find them all.

Organiser, Mrs Monica Winnett, said: "I’m delighted to say that the Good News newsagents in St Martin’s Street are very kindly sponsoring this competition by offering a prize of goodies from their shop up to the value of £15.

"Some of the numbers will be easy to spot, others will be tucked away in the smaller windows of our houses, and some properties may display two different numbers."

Maps and instructions for the competition will be available from the Tourist Information Office at the Novium Museum in Tower Street, and are also available to pick up from the Good News newsagents.

Mrs Winnett added: "Once you have found all the numbers and written them onto the map, you just hand it back to where you got if from and we will pick a winner at random at the end of December. If it works, we’ll do it again next year!"

Popular pub runs reverse Advent calendar to help out those in need

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A REVERSE Advent calendar has been started to help those in need in the city.

THe Fountain pub is hosting the reverse calender to support the Chichester homeless charity, Chichester Four Streets Project.

THe idea asks Chichester people to drop in items on the Advent list to the pub to help the homeless.

Nevin Jinha, owner of THe Fountain Inn, in Southgate, came up with the idea as she is passionate about helping people where she can.

Barmaid, H. Darcy said: "Most of us will have a comfortable Christmas and sadly some can't so Nevin said she wanted to help ease that.

"We are asking loyal customers to help to make everyone's Christmas more comfortable where possible.

"We've been very fortunate and had lots of donations our way already.

"Andy, our head doorman, has collected sleeping bags and foam-backed sleeping mats already and we are in discussion with a shop about donations of two-man tents.

"We've got loads of bits now, including scarves, hats, gloves and toiletries, but it would be great to get even more."

THe reverse Advent calendar is asking for goods such as biscuits on December 17, toothbrushes on December 12, tinned soup on December 6 and breakfast bars on Christmas Eve - but any of the items can be donated throughout the month.

THe Four Streets Project is a community group set up to support homeless people

in Chichester.

Every night, volunteers meet those sleeping on the four high streets of Chichester to provide food, water and other essentials such as sleeping bags and blankets to those who need them. THey also give advice on local services that may be able to provide additional help and support.

Another of the group's initiatives, in conjunction with the Chichester Post, is the Community Coat Rack.

Living Advent Calendar Let the hunt begin!

In the heart of Chichester city centre.

You can have a chance to win a prize for hunting down all the advent calendar numbers hidden around St. Martin’s Square.

Homes in St Martin’s Square will be displaying the numbers 1-24 in their windows to create a visual Advent Calendar from 1st December. In addition to this being bit of fun for the residents of the Square, youngsters under the age of 14 are invited to record onto a map where each number is located – and they can win a prize if they find them all.

Organiser, Mrs Monica Winnett, says “I’m delighted to say that the Good News Newsagents in St Martin’s Street are very kindly sponsoring this competition by offering a prize of goodies from their shop up to the value of £15”. (If the winner is not local, a cheque for £15 will be posted to them.) “Some of the numbers will be easy to spot, others will be tucked away in the smaller windows of our houses, and some properties may display two different numbers.” Maps and instructions for the competition will be available from the Tourist Information Office at the Novium, and are also available to pick up from the Good News Newsagents. Monica says “once you have found all the numbers and written them onto the map, you just hand it back to where you got it from and we will pick a winner at random at the end of December. If it works, we’ll do it again next year!”

THis is not just for the homeless anyone who has a spare coat they no longer need can put one on the rack; anyone who needs a coat can take one.

Charity founder Donna Ockenden said: "THis is an amazingly kind gesture from the Fountain Inn pub and their customers.

"We were delighted to be contacted by them with this idea.

GREEN PARTY

THIS election must be about the environment and creating a sustainable future. THe Green Party of England and Wales’ manifesto sets out 10 radical proposals that put tackling the climate crisis and creating a fairer society at its heart.

Our government’s target of carbon neutrality of 2050 doesn’t go far enough.

THe Green Party focuses on plans to tackle climate change alongside the much needed proper funding of public services and electoral reform. Our proposals enable us to focus on climate action in combination with a creating a more equal society and is based on these bills: 1. Green New Deal Bill – aim for net zero emissions by 2030.

2. People’s Vote Bill - deliver a people’s vote on EU membership.

3. NHS Reinstatement Bill - reverse NHS privatisation, scrap the 2012 Health and Social Care Act and increase NHS

funding by at least £6 billion per year until 2030.

4. Further and Higher Education Bill scrap undergraduate tuition fees.

5. Sustainable Economy Bill - set binding targets that address the environmental impact of economic activity.

6. Future Generations Bill - require public bodies to balance the needs of the present with those of the future.

7. Universal Basic Income Bill - introduce a universal basic income of £89 per week for all by 2025.

8. New Homes Bill - create a legislative framework for building 100,000 new zero-carbon homes for social rent each year.

9. Renters’ Rights Bill - make housing more secure and reduce rent.

10.

Voting Reform Bill - replace first past the post with proportional representation, introduce a fully elected House of Lords and extend the vote to 16 and 17-year-olds.

THe Green Party is the only party that is committed to net zero carbon by 2030 – we only have 10 years and can’t afford to wait any longer!

No wonder Johnson was so anxious to prevent Parliament from properly scrutinising his misnamed withdrawal agreement.

We need to leave with a clean break, ie, no overarching ‘deal’, before discussing trade relations from a position of strength.

LABOUR PARTY Jay Morton

JAY MORTON was born and raised locally and attended Felpham Community College. She now has a successful career as an architect, working mainly on social and affordable housing projects.

THe daughter of a local plumber and cook, she was the first in her family to go to university and has recently run a series of talks at the House of Commons titled ‘Glass Ceiling Not Glass Slipper’ to establish what holds women back in the 21st century.

Jay said: "I want to help build

caused by the A27 is a desperate issue facing Chichester. It needs a solution that will bring the community together. Any plan must provide a properly integrated transport system. Better public transport and the needs of pedestrians and cyclists must be considered, not just cars.

Dr Kate is at present campaigning to keep small rural schools open.

Education funding in West Sussex is historically low. Dr Kate is striving to increase funding per pupil so that all our children are offered an excellent education.

Dr Kate is a cycling enthusiast and rides all over the constituency.

She’s also a cold-water swimmer and walker. Dr Kate has the energy that Chichester needs.

DR KATE O'KELLY spent nearly 30 years working as a GP in the NHS before she moved into old age psychiatry specialising in dementia.

She was elected to West Sussex County Council in 2017 and Chichester District Council in 2018. She is a governor of two schools and a magistrate.

Dr Kate is an active, energetic campaigner who has proven that she can get results. If elected to Westminster she would be able to do far more for Chichester area residents.

Dr Kate has campaigned successfully to save bus services

VATIVE

PARTY

THIS election is about delivering Brexit and honouring our commitment to leave the EU. It is fundamental that we respect the result of the Referendum and restore faith in our democratic institutions. We have negotiated a sensible deal to leave and if elected again as your MP I will support a Conservative government seeking to honour this mandate.

It is crucial that we preserve Britain's successful economy in order to fund our great public

vital to rural communities.

DEMOCRATS THe crisis in PARTY social care has been intensified by the slashing of funding to local government.

Kate’s expertise will be devoted to resolving this issue and fighting for sustainable long-term funding for the NHS, a core Liberal Democrat policy.

Dr Kate is looking forward to helping the Liberal Democrats to lead the way on fighting climate change - the most critical issue facing us all.

services. I strongly support the Conservative commitment to fund our NHS with an additional £33.9bn each year, and locally I will continue my campaign to bring radiotherapy cancer services to St Richard’s in Chichester.

Looking to the future, we must tackle the issue of climate change and I am actively supporting our world-leading commitment to be a net-zero carbon economy by 2050 or sooner.

Since 2017, I have visited many local schools and successfully secured increased funding for each one. Small rural primary schools are the beating heart of our village communities and I will continue to support them so they can thrive.

On the A27, I am currently fighting

to get funding for an “all options consultation” to include both northern and southern routes to re-engage people in a transparent process and finally deliver a solution for the heavily congested A27. THis is critical as we build more houses to meet the needs of the next generation.

Investment is only possible with a strong economy in which our businesses can thrive, pay tax and provide good employment prospects. Only the Conservatives have a proven track record of delivering a strong economy and a record number of jobs.

Lastly, I pledge to continue to be an active local MP, accessible to all and working to bring our community and country together as we leave the EU.

a better future for Chichester.

Only Labour can deliver this by rebuilding our public services, giving our NHS, schools and police the money they need, tackling the climate emergency and giving people the final say on Brexit."

"Labour is determined to bring a divided country back together, while the Tories and the Lib Dems only seek to divide us further.

"Only Labour will give people the final say on Brexit, so if you want to leave the EU with a workable deal that doesn’t trash our economy, selling out our NHS, you’ll be able to vote for it.

"If you want to remain, you’ll be able to vote for that. But Brexit is not the only choice at this

election.

"We have a clear choice about our future on THursday, December 12.

"More Conservative cuts or a Labour government that will bring real change for the many, not the privileged few.

"A vote for anyone other than Labour in Chichester this time round will only help the Tories.

"Labour came second in Chichester at the last general election with double the support of the Liberal Democrats.

"So if you want to send the strongest possible message to the Tories, have a clear and democratic process to resolve the Brexit impasse and rebuild Britain, vote Labour.”

LIBERTARIAN PARTY UK Adam Brown

LIBERTARIAN

PARTY UK

OUR MANIFESTO is built on the principle that it is the individual who is best placed to understand what needs they have, and that the government should be there to protect people's rights and provide them the freedom to fulfil their potential. A few of our headline goals are set out here.

A written constitution: We have seen from the last three years that our political system which so far has existed on a form of gentlemen’s agreement is not fit for purpose, with a Parliament who are unwilling to keep to their manifesto promises. THe time is right, therefore, for a written constitution which secures the rights of individuals and holds politicians to account.

Removing politics from health care: THe NHS has long been used by the main political parties as a political football,

with funding promises and failures used for no other reason than to score political points. We would push for a health care professional -led system that is focused on the patients’ needs and free from political interference.

We would look to ensure that health care is prioritised with a clear and transparent funding system through a ring-fenced health tax with administrators answerable to the patients, not politicians.

Devolution of decisions to the most local levels: THe Libertarian Party believe that decisions should be taken as close to the people it affects as possible. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Chichester Harbour area.

Despite warnings by local communities and the Chichester Harbour Trust, increasing levels of development are still being pushed in this highly delicate area.

THe people of the Manhood Peninsula are not against development, but they know better than those outside the area, of the difficulties that need addressing in any development. We would look to ensure that local decisions are taken by local people.

Electors around Chichester will be voting on December 12, to choose the next government.

Polling stations will be open from 7am-10pm on Thursday, December 12, to elect the new MP for the Chichester constituency.

Six hopefuls are standing, including the previous MP, Mrs Gillian Keegan, to represent the area in the House of Commons for the next five years.

They have set out their views on this page and we will find out who has been successful when the result is declared. This is likely to be in the early hours of December 13.

LETTERS to the editor

Readers' letters are welcomed by the Chichester Post.

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

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

Dear Editor, THank you for headlining the shocking fact that low income, the high cost of living and the five week wait for universal credit has made the figures for Chichester district foodbank rise by a third during the first six months of this year. (Foodbank users up by a third - November 22).

Unfortunately, although the percentage increase is bad enough, your report does not inform readers of the scale of the problem. We are unable to ascertain from a percentage increase whether the usage rose from 10 to 13 or from 100 to 133.

Could you please provide more details?

Kind regards, Vincent Porter Highland Road

More and more younger people are growing up in generation rent, destined to rent from private landlords for the rest of their lives never being able to afford to buy in the town they work in.

Young people leaving university with tens of thousands of pounds in debt before they’ve even started their careers.

Large parts of our society are now living in an age of downward mobility where they are actually worse off than their parents' generation.

As a society, I think we are actually going backwards to a new Dickensian age where poverty, destitution and homelessness leading to poor physical and mental health and in some cases suicide, is almost normalised, with those in power wedded to an ideology that has no answers to solve any of these issues.

I’m not advocating any particular party here (read between the lines) but if we want to be a decent, compassionate society we must address these massive issues of inequality.

Kind regards Tom Kelly Selsey

Dear Editor, I was shocked by your front page article on the increase in food bank usage in Chichester, probably one of the richest towns in the country if house prices – currently 11.5 times the average salary – are anything to go by.

Dear Editor, I am not surprised that Labour candidate Jane Towers would find Liberal Democrat election material concerning (Letters, November 15 ).

Bar charts showing the huge Lib Dem gains in this year's local and European elections and leaving Labour trailing do indeed show that we are the only party with a chance of beating the Tories in Chichester. THey reflect the polling and the recommendations of the main tactical voting websites.

THe Liberal Democrats are the only opposition party competing with the Tories across the district and Dr Kate O'Kelly is the only parliamentary candidate actively campaigning across the whole constituency.

THe public want an MP who will safeguard public services like the NHS against a deeply damaging Tory Brexit deal and US medical corporations; someone who will put constituents before a Westminster career.

In former GP, Dr Kate O'Kelly, residents have the best chance in any of our lifetimes to get rid of a Tory MP and to elect a local champion who will put Chichester first.

Yours sincerely, Cllr Jonathan Brown Southbourne

An open letter to Liberal Democrat, Labour and Green Party Prospective Parliamentary Candidates: Dear PPC I attended the “Chichester in Europe – the way forward” meeting in the Assembly Rooms on Friday evening. My first ever attendance at anything even vaguely political.

It was encouraging to hear the unanimity among PPCs that you all support remaining in the EU. However, there seems to me little chance of any “way forward” and returning a ‘Remain’ MP from the Chichester constituency, unless there is agreement that only one of you as candidates stands against the incumbent MP. Without this, I can see you, as our Lib Dem, Labour and Green candidates at the election count, looking ruefully at each other, having quite feasibly polled over 50 per cent of the votes between you, but returning our current MP to Parliament to deliver a damaging Brexit. How will that feel?

You will have missed an historic (for Chichester), and once in a generation opportunity, to maximise our chances of stopping Brexit, either via a second referendum or otherwise . THat would be unforgivable.

As you will know, all tactical voting websites recommend voting for Liberal Democrats in Chichester would give the best chance of returning a ‘Remainer’ MP. I urge you to please follow the lead of other enlightened colleagues and get together to agree an electoral pact to help ensure this does not happen, and put our constituency and country before party and personal ambitions, on this one occasion.

I believe there is far greater longer-term political capital to be gained, for you and your party, from that laudable course of action.

THank you.

Greg Brown Summersdale Chichester

Dear Editor, I want to complain about the policy change to use the waste disposal sites - the new need for ID. I live in West Sussex near the Hants border. It is easier to use the Havant site for waste disposal but from December 1 this will not be possible.

THe policy change will not save money as people like myself will now have to use the Chichester site.

In fact, it will cost more as someone has to be employed to check ID. Also, the impact on the environment will be negative as more people will be making longer journeys, adding to congestion around Chichester. It will also encourage fly tipping.

Or are the council bringing back a waste facility for those west of Chichester? Somehow, I doubt this.

THis is a good example of not looking at the big picture and paying lip service to any environmental policy.

People should be encouraged to use the most appropriate facility.

ID checking is just unnecessary bureaucracy.

Regards Peter Davey Southbourne

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK

November 28December 5 THE IRISHMAN is cinema of the highest order, with Martin Scorsese’s reality-inspired crime epic spanning decades. Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro), “paints houses” for big-shot gangsters, his paint, it should be noted, only comes in blood red. Sheeran’s main employer is the intense, sharp-eyed Russell Bufalino (Joe Pesci), though once Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino) enters the picture, Frank is torn between the sometimes clashing demands of two hardwilled, charismatic men. This superb cast is joined by Harvey Keitel and Anna Paquin.

Le Fête Du Cinema, the French film festival at Chichester Cinema at New Park, continues this week’s francophone choices (4 for 3 French films deal) with Persona Non Grata, a dark thriller set in the south of France, a place riddled with economic corruption and blackmail; The Hunchback of Notre Dame, with Anthony Quinn and Gina Lollobrigida, in the 1956 classic; Alice and the Mayor, a funny, lively touching film of a Lyon mayor (Fabrice Luchini), who has run out of ideas, a brilliant young philosopher coming to his aid; and Coincoin and the Extra-Humans, an absurdist epic in which a pair of policemen hunt for clues when ectoplasm starts falling from the sky. Take your French pick, too, with The Mystery of Henri Pick, a witty, enjoyable Agatha Christie type of sleuthing and Lullaby, the gripping thriller of a family with a young baby taken over by a new staff member.

The much-loved Casablanca is this week’s Ruby Tuesday treat (£2) with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in wartime north Africa, noble passion meeting Nazi occupation.

The Aeronauts injects a sense of magic with young widow Amelia (Felicity Jones) who joins

ambitious scientist James (Eddie Redmayne) as they mount a balloon expedition to fly higher than anyone in history.

Two returnee documentaries are Meeting Gorbachev, best documentary at the cinema’s recent film festival and Marianne and Leonard: Words of Love, Nick Broomfield’s in-depth look at the musician and his Norwegian muse.

The bulging winter programme of Performance events includes Doris Day as Calamity Jane (Nov 30); Western Stars, with Bruce Springsteen, on December 9 and Coppelia, the comic ballet coming from the Royal Ballet (Dec 10).

Have a look at the forthcoming education department’s Focus on Film, Illusions and Games: The Cinema of Jean Renoir (‘the greatest of all directors,’ Orson Welles), not to be missed (Nov 29, 18.00, £6.50) and many more events.

NEW RELEASE

Knives Out

Comedy, Crime, Mystery Screened at Picturedrome Cinema WHEN people get desperate, the knives come out. Get set for a spectacularly stylish and sordid whodunnit featuring a rogue’s gallery of Hollywood A-listers. The acclaimed writer and director of Brick, Looper, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi pays tribute to mystery mastermind Agatha Christie with a fun, modern-day murder mystery where everyone is a suspect.

When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at his estate just after his 85th birthday, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate. From Harlan's dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan's untimely death.

This witty and stylish whodunnit boasts a star-studded ensemble cast including Chris Evans, Ana De Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, and Jaeden Martell. With such a twisted web to untangle, a cast offering serious strength in numbers, and a script concocted with equal measures of menace and wit, expect to find yourself on edge all the way up until Knives Out’s big reveal.

Frozen 2

Animation, Fantasy, Musical Screened at Picturedrome Cinema RETURN to Arendelle and reunite with Frozen’s enchanting cast of characters for a magical tale filled with adventure, discovery, and mystical dangers. After reclaiming her rightful seat upon the throne in the final scenes of Frozen, Elsa is drawn north by a strange calling that encourages her to leave the safety of Arendelle and into a mysterious land filled with unknown dangers and remarkable revelations.

Once again joined by her plucky sister Anna and trusty companions Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven, Elsa bravely embarks upon an epic journey of selfdiscovery filled with tears, cheers, singalongs, and action aplenty – but will she uncover the answers she seeks in this autumn-bound land? Or will the source of her calling threaten all that she has fought for? After capturing the imaginations of film fans of all ages before going on to become the highest-grossing animated picture of all time, anticipation for a Frozen sequel has been heating up for the past six years. Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad reprise their roles, and Academy award-winning directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee return to the helm. In Frozen, Elsa feared her powers were too much for the world. In Frozen 2, she must hope they are enough.

Chilling, gripping yet hopeful take on life and death Theatre review 

By Alicia Denny THe Lovely Bones Until November 30 Chichester Festival Theatre, Oaklands Park, Chichester PO19 6AP 01243 781312 box.office@cft.org.uk www.cft.org.uk A PLAY which opens with an unnerving crashing noise, followed by the pretty realistic rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl, seems like a grim evening at the theatre but THe Lovely Bones becomes life affirming.

Bryony Lavery, who has used her talents on lighter fare at Chichester Festival THeatre, such as 101 Dalmatians, faced a difficult task in bringing American Alice Sebbold's 2002 international bestseller to the stage, not least because she had to devise a way to incorporate heaven, from where victim Susie can still see her family and friends, and earth, where they are dealing with the

consequences of her horrific death at the hands of a serial child killer.

She and production team succeed brilliantly, especially with the device of a reflective sheet over the back of the stage, enabling another dimension to be enacted at the same time as the main action, and the painted rectangle defining heaven where Susie, who narrates her own story, vents her frustration at the situation in a typical teenage way.

Charlotte Beaumont is outstanding as Susie, giving her all the naunces of a teenager forever caught in the tangle of feelings and experiences of that time in life and yet having to watch as her loved ones begin to move through their lives without her.

THe original book did not shy away from the

challenges of growing up, including sexual awakening, and the play has a number of graphic scenes but these are essential to the plot, showing not only Susie's reaction to them but also how those nearest and dearest to her deal with the aftermath of her tragic death.

Fanta Barrie, as Susie's sister, Lindsey, Jack Sandle, her tortured father, Samuel Gosrani, her boyfriend, Ray, and Leigh Lothian, with both her acting and singing as poet Ruth, are the pick of a talented supporting cast, while the ensemble scenes and appropriate music from the 1970s adds to the realism of the whole.

THe Lovely Bones is thought-provoking in its portrayal of a horrible event and its aftermath but, ultimately, it's about family and being able to move on after tragedy.

Nutrition to help aid your healing www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@ thewellbeingcompanyltd.com BACK pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, pain and discomfort, dizziness, heart disease, sleep issues, skin eruptions and dryness, brain malfunction are all common ailments that I see every day in my clinics. THey are common conditions that affect so many people on a daily basis and affect everyday living.

Being in pain and discomfort is a drain on your energy, and worse still, if you are having to take medication for the pain, too, this is going to have a toxic effect on your body. But if you are in serious pain, you have no choice, right?

Back pain is not just about the structure or misalignment of bones and vertebrae. In fact, any pain and discomfort you are feeling is also going to be related to some kind of deficiency, or toxin in the body, causing inflammation and disruption.

What I am seeing more and more of,

is that once you give the body exactly what it needs nutritionally, the healing process can take place a whole lot quicker. As far as I am concerned, no one really needs to suffer. THere are so many answers to health issues, that could just be really simple, when you know how.

One of the best discoveries I have made with almost every patient I see is the link between being deficient in omega oils and the link between pain and inflammation.

Making sure your body has a constant supply of Omega 3, 6 and 9 is challenging. Using a good quality supplement can be massively beneficial.

THe foods you can eat to help supply the body naturally are: 1. Mackerel 2. Salmon 3. Herring 4. Oysters 5. Sardines 6. Anchovies 7. Flax seeds 8. Chia seeds 9. Walnuts

Brussel sprouts In the new year, I am setting up a brand-new health and wellbeing business in the USA and then we are bringing it to the UK, and then after that globally, too. So, if any of you reading this have fancied running your own wellbeing company, get in touch and I will talk you through the plans to see if it’s something have always been looking for.

In order to set up this business, we have invested in a brand-new energetic health testing machine called a Qest4.

I have always worked with energy medicine, as for me it bridges the gap between conventional and holistic practises, and there is a place in our society for both.

Some people cannot get the answers they want from regular blood tests etc. THe results may come back negative, but the person is still experiencing serious symptoms.

THe Qest4 is programmed to delve a little deeper and really gets to the bottom of what’s

Play Area Volunteer – HM Prison Ford Volunteers are required to supervise and provide interesting/appropriate activities for visiting children within the play area of the social visits hall of the Prison. The play area is set out in a welcoming and attractive way; volunteers greet and talk with the children and their parents.

Activities include playing with toys and use of craft materials etc. Visits are on Sunday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 2 to 4pm plus half an hour either side, total commitment 3 hours per session. Volunteers can commit to one or more sessions, ideally once a fortnight.

Experience of working/being with children in a family environment (aged approx. 1 to 14) would be useful but training will be given. Must enjoy a challenge, be non-judgemental, friendly, approachable, enthusiastic, and reliable and have a sense of humour.

Disco volunteer! – Hammonds Care Home

Hammonds Care Home is a care home for people with learning disabilities. This opportunity will be for some Friday evenings between approximately 7pm and 10pm. You will travel on a minibus to a disco in either Bognor or Chichester with a group of people with learning disabilities and their carer/support workers. This will not involve any personal care; they would like a nice, kind, fun person who can interact with people and help them have fun at the disco.

Experience working or interacting with people with learning difficulties is desirable but not essential.

Shop or Trolley Volunteer – Friends of Chichester Hospitals

Join a friendly team of volunteers who help support patients, visitors and staff of St Richard’s Hospital by serving in the Friend’s Hospital shop or taking the daily trolley around the wards.

Working in pairs, there are three shifts each day (Mon - Fri) in the shop, each lasting 3 hours, while the trolley takes approx. 2 hours. The weekend trolley visits all wards, with 2 volunteers, and takes 3 to 3.5 hours. This is a chance to help make a daily difference for patients, for whom the trolley visit brightens the day. Visitors and outpatients may need a snack and a newspaper, and a friendly word if they are anxious. Hospital staff visit the shop on their short breaks and value quick and cheerful service before returning to the ward.

Divisional Organiser (Pulborough, Petworth and Storrington areas) – Dementia Support

Community Minibus Association (West Sussex) provides a door to door minibus service, run entirely by volunteers, for the benefit of residents in rural Sussex who may be isolated, in need of community support and who require access to essential needs because they are elderly, young, poor or living in isolated areas where there are inadequate transport facilities. This is a key role in the Charity, coordinating the efforts of the division’s team of volunteers and maintaining a vital two-way communication link between the team and the Board of Trustees, offering a great opportunity to shape the service provided to users in their division and influence the strategic direction of the Charity. There are no set hours and there will be a mix of working from home and being ‘on the road’ with the team and users.

To apply for these opportunities, or to see others in your area, please go to wwww.vaac.org.uk/volunteering.

BACK PAIN can be related to some kind of deficiency

going on in a person’s body energetically. THis helps guide me to devise what that person is lacking nutritionally in their body, so I can help put things right. As I already mentioned, when a person gets what they really need (without guess work) the body has this incredible ability to heal itself.

For the next few months I need to test a large number of clients on the Qest4. My usual price for a consultation is £250, but because this is a trial and I need to see a large number of people with a variety of different ailments, I am offering on a first come first serve basis, a health test or health MOT that takes one hour and 15 minutes for just £120.

THis can only take place in my Chichester based clinic, and not London or Guildford, but if you think you have been experiencing health challenges, or just want a health check-up, contact me.

Everything you eat, drink and put on your skin should have a purpose. If you don’t understand the ingredients, then it’s probably best not to use! But the saying, ‘you are what you eat’ is truly accurate!

CommunityNews&Views NODDY

NEWS WITH CHRISTMAS fast approaching, many of the furry residents at Mount Noddy will no doubt spend the festive season at the centre. RSPCA Sussex, Chichester and district branch care for abused, neglected and unwanted pets all year round, and have helped more than 300 animals so far in 2019.

While most dogs and cats will spend the day in front of a warm fire, playing with wrapping paper and maybe enjoying some leftover turkey, for some, Christmas is just another day waiting for their perfect match to walk in the door.

Two animals who are facing a Christmas in kennels are Marley, the American bulldog, and Chilli, the domestic short hair cat.

Some animals who come into Mount Noddy animal centre need a little extra time to prepare them for their new home. Marley, for example, has led a sheltered life, and not all his experiences with humans have been positive. THis has resulted in Marley being a bit cautious around new people. He came to us from an RSPCA animal welfare officer, he was underweight, with an untreated skin allergy. Our behaviour and welfare adviser created a special programme for Marley to help him understand that strangers are just friends he has not met yet. His skin has also improved, which has also made him feel better in himself. With patience, love and lots of positive reinforcement, Marley got more confident by the day, and has been ready to find love for a little while now.

We would like Marley to find a quiet, experienced home, with new owners who will be committed to keeping up his training.

THe initial effort will be rewarded with a friendly, playful young lad. He enjoys running around our field and walks in the woods.

He enjoys being around other dogs and could possibly live with a calm, confident dog. We feel he would be best suited to a home where all children are over 16 years old and able to help with his training needs. With continued patience and care, Marley will make a fantastic companion.

Similar to Marley, Chilli is also looking for a relaxing home to share with someone. Chilli is a sweet four-year-old girl, she loves company but needs time to build confidence up around new people. She adores cat nip and that is the way to her heart. Sprinkle a bit down and you've got a friend for life! She spends most of her days chilling on an outside lounger and so we think she would benefit from her own garden. Chilli would suit a quieter home without young children and pets where she can take time settling in and getting to know her new family. Chilli has been overlooked due to her colour and quiet nature, which is a shame as she will make a wonderful companion to the right person.

If you are not in the position to welcome a new family member into your homes right now, there are still lots of ways you can help. THe work does not stop for the staff during the holidays, and many of them will be delaying their Christmas dinner while they feed and clean all the animals at the centre. We are always looking for volunteers to help throughout the year, and Christmas and New Year are no exception.

All our volunteering roles are listed on the website, or feel free to contact the branch for more details.

THE ANNUAL dinner of the Chichester and District Law Society saw a local trainee solicitor honoured for achieving the highest mark in the Legal Practice Course (LPC) locally.

Claire Taylor, from Chichester, was presented with the award at the Chichester Cathedral event, shortly after commencing her training contract with the local office of Irwin Mitchell in August.

Also known as the Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice, the LPC is a compulsory course, designed to provide a bridge between academic study and the start of training in a law firm.

Irwin Mitchell colleagues Diane Nicholls, John Bunker, Dipal Patel, Hannah Worricker, Chrissy Leach, Margaret Windram and regional managing partner Paula James were there to see Pallant Chambers present Claire with her award.

Lion president Peter Wilson and members of the Lions health and welfare committee donated four Nebulisers to the Petworth ward at St Richard's Hospital, Chichester.

A nebuliser is a machine that helps patients to breathe in a medicine as a mist through a mask or a mouthpiece.

and District Law Society and Margaret Windram of Irwin Mitchell is this year’s co-president with Helen FitzSimmons. John Bunker, of Irwin Mitchell, was elected vice-president and will take up the chair in July, 2020.

Speaking after the event, Claire said: “I’m really pleased and proud to have won the award for the highest LPC mark locally. THe course isn’t easy but it’s a great feeling to pass and to have the opportunity to pursue my training here in my home city.

"Irwin Mitchell has supported me all the way and I’m really enjoying my first few months with the Irwin Mitchell team here in Chichester.

"I am very grateful to Pallant Chambers, our local set of barristers in Chichester, for sponsoring the prize and supporting our local law society. Solicitors and barristers work very closely together and Pallant Chambers are well known for their expertise.”

conditions such a bronchiectasis will use nebulisers to deliver medications to help reduce the thickness of phlegm and to deliver antibiotics.

People with cystic fibrosis use nebulisers to deliver medications to control the build-up of mucus and other symptoms.

A MEETING surrounding the upcoming election and a campaigning women’s group was held in Bognor Regis last week.

THe Bognor and Chichester South Coast WASPI group held the meeting at My Sister’s House, last Wednesday, to discuss current developments with the campaign, in light of the expected general election.

THe Bognor and Littlehampton prospective parliamentary candidate, Alan Butcher, was invited along, as well as all candidates of other parties.

THe women attending told stories of how the delay in receiving their pensions and having to wait for up to six years had been devastating for them and their families.

THey also said when the Government moved their retirement dates, based on the 2011 Pensions Act, they had not been allowed time to future proof any income as the notice period was not long enough.

After nearly five years of consistent campaigning, from grassroots level – many started just as conversation groups on social media – the generic term for these group had become known as ‘waspi’.

THe WASPI groups and all 1950s women attended further West Sussex general election hustings, including Chichester Cathedral yesterday (THursday).

CHILDREN at Compton and Up Marden CE Primary School got their Daily Mile off to a flying start, with the help of award winning local long-distance runner James Baker.

THe youngsters were thrilled to have a special sports man to launch their Daily Mile.

Firstly, James talked to the children during assembly about why he became a runner, how he trains and what he has achieved during his running career.

He said: "I believe THe Daily Mile can have a huge impact on all young people's lives, helping you to be fitter, healthier and happier.

"I'm delighted to be supporting THe Daily Mile at Compton School, and hope that every child everywhere has the opportunity to take part in this fantastic initiative."

James then led a warm-up activity and ran the Daily Mile with the whole school.

THe Daily Mile is a social physical activity, with children running or jogging – at their own pace – in the fresh air with friends.

Children can occasionally walk to catch their breath, if necessary, but should aim to run or jog for the full 15 minutes.

THe aim of THe Daily Mile is to improve the physical, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of children – regardless of age, ability or personal circumstances.

Head teacher Claire Inskip explained: "THe Daily Mile will be run every morning at the school. It’s a social physical activity, with children running or jogging – at their own pace – in the fresh air with friends.

"THey can occasionally walk to catch their breath, if necessary, but run or jog for the full 15 minutes. Every child at the school has the opportunity to do THe Daily Mile. THe children return to class ready to learn."

Mrs Inskip then thanked James and added: "THe children have been inspired by James and now plan to set themselves personal targets so they can strive to improve their timings each week and become even better runners."

The history of the village of Halnaker

By Amy Roberts, collections officer at the Novium Museum HAKNAKER is a small village located to the north east of Chichester. THe earliest recorded form of the name Halnaker, Helneche, comes from the Domesday survey of 1086.

Other variations of the name have included Hannac, Halnenaker, Halfnaked, Hanycarr and Hanekar.

THe area had been gifted to Earl Roger of Montgomery, who held the combined rapes of Chichester and Arundel, totalling around 83 manors. In 1105, Boxgrove and Halnaker were passed to Robert de la Haye, a Norman lord. De la Haye built his principle residence at Halnaker.

All that now remains in its place are the ruins of the later 14th century fortified manor house built by Robert De Hay, which have subsequently been Grade I listed and given the status of a scheduled ancient monument.

Most iconic of the ruins is the gatehouse. THe site is privately owned and is not open to the public.

In 1281, Halnaker is first recorded as having a deer park. In the 13th century, a chapel, dedicated to St Mary de Magdalene, was added to the residence. It remained in use for several centuries until 1704.

Both Robert and his brother died without having children and so the property passed through the marriage of their sister, Muriel, to the St John family. It passed again to the

Poynings family and then on to the Bonvilles.

In 1440, a licence to ‘empark’ an area of 300 acres of land and wood at Halnaker was granted.

In 1495, Elizabeth Bonville married Sir THomas West, the 9th Lord of Warr, who set about rebuilding and extending Halnaker House. At the dissolution of the monasteries, West became unpopular, owing to his religious sympathies, and was persuaded to exchange Halnaker for the abbey of Wherwell in Hampshire. In 1544, Henry VIII made John Jeny steward of Halnaker and Boxgrove.

Two years later, stewardship passed to Henry Firzalan, Earl of Arundel, before in 1561, the estate was granted to him by Queen Elizabeth I for an annual rental of £20. Two decades later, in 1587, however, the freehold was sold to John Morley, a merchant from Suffolk.

Morley and his family retained the residence for several years, making a series of improvements to the manor house during this time. John Morley’s son, William Morley, left Halnaker estate to his daughter, Mary.

After her husband’s death, she moved back to Sussex and devoted herself to charitable work with the nearby almshouses and a school in Boxgrove.

Unfortunately, Mary’s only son died at a young age, so when Mary passed away in

Some of the architectural features from the property were salvaged and used in other buildings locally

1752, she left the property to her cousin, Sir THomas Dyke Acland, who, in 1765, sold it to Charles, 3rd Duke of Richmond, owner of nearby Goodwood House. THe Duke’s interest in Halnaker was predominantly the estate, for at this time Halnaker House had already been abandoned. Although substantial ruins remain to this day, its roofs and walls were significantly robbed.

Some of the architectural features from the property were salvaged and used in other buildings locally, including THe Chantry in Canon Lane and THe Grange, a former residence of Tower Street, Chichester.

In the late 1930s, Lutyens designed a large and prestigious house in Halnaker known as Halnaker Park. It is two storeys high and built from painted brick, with a raised central portion with wings to either side. THe building is positioned to face south, taking in the views to the coastal plain.

In the 1940s, a large house was built in the

gardens of the former manor house, Halnaker House. THis house was demolished and a large neo-Georgian house, known as Little Halnaker, was built there in the early 2000s.

On Halnaker Hill stands the iconic Grade II listed Halnaker Windmill. It was built in the mid-18th century for the Duke of Richmond and was the feudal mill of the Goodwood Estate.

THe mill was operational until it was struck by lightning in 1905, damaging the sails and wind shaft. THe derelict mill was restored in 1934 by Neve's, the Heathfield millwrights.

Further repair work was carried out in 1954 by E Hole and Sons, the Burgess Hill millwrights.

More recently, the mill was restored in 2004.

In 2013, the site was fenced off for safety reasons and the latest phase of restoration began. THe exterior of the mill has been retiled, the cap repaired and new sails have been fitted to the mill, which is owned by West Sussex County Council.

Just give your all on big day urges Chi boss MILES RUTHERFORD has urged his players to give "their all" when Chichester City take on Tranmere Rovers in their massive FA Cup second round tie.

Boss Rutherford is part of a double-act with assistant manager Graeme Gee and their words will be the last the City players hear before they take on the League One side at Prenton Park on Sunday in the BT Sport televised game.

Isthmian League Chi will be massive underdogs for the tie but will have many neutrals rooting for them as the lowest ranked team still left in the competition.

Such has been the interest, the club hosted a press conference this week at their Oaklands Park home with four first team players

facing the media before the management and coaching staff fielded questions.

THe laid-back Rutherford look unruffled as ever and has vowed his message to the players on the day will not significantly change to the one he has been preaching during a run that started in August at the extra preliminary round stage.

Rutherford said: "I always ask for as much hard work as they can give us while Graeme is a bit different and tries to rally them up in a different way.

"But, for me, it is just about giving everything they have got and I just hope they do that on the day."

Gee admits his rallying call will be off the cuff but is desperate his players give a good account

of themselves and do not let the occasion get to them.

Gee said: "I try to say what befits the moment. It's a big occasion, we all know that and that is why you guys are here, but it is about trying to take the magnitude and emotion out of the game because I do feel we have to go there with some belief.

"THe players need to relax as much as they can, which will be very difficult.

"We've played in relatively big games, nowhere near this standard, but we played in the FA Vase last 16 and I think we'd all agree the occasion got the better of us and we didn't perform on the day.

"So on Saturday and Sunday it will be about getting the preparations right.

"I want everyone at this club, the players, coaches and volunteers to enjoy this occasion.

"I am a realist and this will never happen again for me, while Danny and Darin have a few years ahead of them. But this is going to be the biggest occasion for all four of us to date and we have got to embrace it.

"We just want to give a good account of ourselves and some strange things can happen in football - we shall see on the day what we're about."

Rutherford added: "You look at

the sides that are not in the Cup already. Sunderland are out of it and little, old Chichester are still in it so that's how much of an achievement it is.

"All four of us know realistically it won't happen again at this club so we just get on with it and grab the moment.

"All four of us have said on Sunday we shall go there with a smile on our face - which is normally hard for me - but I will be smiling all the way there and all the way back."

Danny Potter says he and fellow first team coach Darin Killpartrick will try to stick to what has been tried and tested on the run.

Potter said: "I think the message we need to give to the players is that nothing should change.

"No matter who the opposition is, we're going to play the game how we want to play the game and nothing should change that."

THings have changed, though, as the players illustrated.

Jamie Horncastle said: “It’s exciting. Where I work, a guy this morning came in and said he’ll be going down the pub and watching the game.

"Normally it’s us going down the pub and watching football - we don’t drink, mind! Now people are going to the pub to watch us.�

Tranmere Rovers (A) Sunday (December 1), at 3pm live on BT Sport

Axell glad he didn't call time MATT AXELL is so glad he shelved plans to hang up his boots.

THe 35-year-old midfielder was all ready to go out on a high after helping Chichester to the County League title last season but then had second thoughts.

Axell, who signed from Horsham prior to the 2018-19 campaign, told the Post: "I was pretty adamant I wasn't going to play this season.

"Last year was going to be my last year and I thought winning the league would be a good way to stop but then I decided to carry on and then this happened!

"I am pleased I carried on as I would have been pretty annoyed looking on if I had given up now."

Axell has enjoyed a successful non-league career, doing a County League double with East Preston and also enjoying success with Worthing.

But nothing compares to this.

He said: "THis is the highlight by a long way.

"I have achieved quite a lot but this is something that has passed me by. To play in the FA Cup second round, having got to the third qualifying round three times, is clearly

Sport 37

the highlight."

Axell, nursing a hamstring injury, stayed on the bench in Chi's dramatic 3-2 BetVictor South East win at Phoenix Sports last Saturday.

City went ahead through a 32nd-minute Kaleem Haitham strike and the hosts were

reduced to ten men just before the break when Kenny Alireu was shown red.

Lloyd Rowlatt doubled City's lead with a header but Phoenix hit back with two goals in three minutes through Jeff Duah-Kessie and George Whitelock before Connor Cody grabbed a 78th-minute winner.

Captain Cody will take Bullard's advice and soak up every minute CONNOR CODY will take a leaf out of Jimmy Bullard’s book when he skippers Chichester City in the biggest game in the club’s history.

THe defender will lead the non-league minnows out against League One Tranmere at Prenton Park in the FA Cup second round bidding to help his side pull off the mother of all giant-killings.

Although he knows there will be nerves aplenty for him and his team-mates as they face a club five divisions above them as the lowest ranked team left in the competition, Cody is determined not to allow what is likely to be a once-in-alifetime occasion to pass by in a blur.

And he reckons the advice of former Fulham and Hull star Bullard will stand him in good stead on the day.

Asked whether he would be able to savour the moment in front of crowd which will number in the thousands, Cody said: “Absolutely, because I think that is a massive point. “I have thought about it a lot and about trying to remind the lads to enjoy every moment. “Jimmy Bullard is one of my favourite former footballers and I watched an interview with him when he was talking about his retirement from football and how hard it was to fill that void and replace the buzz.

“He said that if he had any advice for any kind footballer playing that it would be to just enjoy every moment of it. “He said to take times in games and maybe have a look around when you’re taking a breather or listen to the noise. “Even at the level we are playing in, games which are in front of maybe 400 or 500 people at most, I just tend to ignore it so now at this point I believe it is something that every lad has got to savour. “Yes, you’ve got to focus on the game but you have to enjoy the noise of the game and enjoy the moment too.�

Tranmere will be massive favourites to progress against Chi, who are the only step eight side left in the competition along with Isthmian League Division One North outfit Maldon & Tiptree.

Cody knows that City cannot afford to let the tie get away from them early on.

He said: "THe biggest thing is staying in the game.

"It is making sure we don’t concede early because you know against a higher opposition that they will punish you and will kill off the game early if they can. “It’s a case of staying in the game and you saw Maldon do it against Leyton Orient, when they got a goal on the break, and that’s how we have to kind of approach it and hope for the best.�

Hardwell gets off to winning start PAGHAM boss Kerry Hardwell's reign got off to a winning start as they picked up only their second league win of the season.

Goals from Conor Geoghegan, Joe Clarke and Lewis Jenkins saw them to a 3-1 victory over visitors Broadbridge Heath.

THe Lions could even afford to miss a penalty through Lindon Miller en route to a welcome Southern Combination League premier division three points.

Geoghegan powered home a Toby Funnell corner but Miller, who was brought down, missed the resultant spot-kick before half-time.

It looked costly when Heath replied straight after the break but Clarke restored the lead after 72 minutes when he headed in another Funnell corner.

Jenkins finished the game off in the final minute, netting from a precision pass from fellow sub Cian Tilley.

Hardwell shook things up with his first team selection with Marco Giambelardini one of two debutants.

Chairman Tony Shea said: “It was a massive result for us and we’re really pleased with the start.

“We’ve been promising this sort of result but not delivering.

"He got a response in his first game.�

THree players joined in Hardwell's first week with Jack Hands and Jamie Carroll coming in from East Preston and Giambelardini from Bosham.

Shea expects more arrivals by tomorrow when Pagham host Horsham YMCA (3pm).

But he says Hardwell is also giving existing players a chance to impress.

Shea added: “He has told the whole squad everyone will be given a chance but it was not a big squad before he arrived.�

Shea also wished Chichester City good luck in their FA Cup clash at Tranmere.

He said: "We've been rivals for many years but it is a great achievement and all at Pagham wish them good luck."

THe Lions' game against visitors Newhaven was postponed on Tuesday night, as was Selsey's in division one against AFC Varndeanians.

Selsey did get their game on last Saturday, losing 3-2 at home to

Roffey after battling back from 2-0 down.

Selsey trailed 1-0 at half-time to a disputed penalty and went 2-0 down just before the hour.

THeir plight worsened when Joe Bennett was sent off for a second booking shortly after Ryan Morey had pulled a goal back on 65 minutes.

In-form striker Max Davies got Selsey level with an 83rd-minute spot-kick but Daren Pearce's side conceded a 87th-minute winner.

Selsey go to Billingshurst tomorrow (3pm).

Gill enjoys his reign in Spain SIMON GILL reigned in Spain as 16 Bognor Regis Tone Zone Runners competed in the Benidorm 10k.

THe traditional yearly jaunt saw the runners enjoy some Spanish culture after landing on Friday lunchtime two days before the race on Sunday.

THere were a few sore heads but everyone made the start line and the morning of the race was the hottest time of the weekend.

Gill led home the group in a time of 36mins.57secs for 22nd overall.

THen came Jack Penfold in a personal best time of 38:08 with Peter Lee just behind in 38:25.

Danny Mahoney came through in 43:58, followed by Sarah Zacal and Byron Kearns on their first trip to Benidorm.

Zacal ran a personal best and finished third in her age category in 45:30 and was very thankful for the encouragement from Kearns on the course.

Shaun Smart and Marc Annals were next to finish in times of 46:07 and 47:11 respectively.

Carolyn Stapley hydrated well the day before and finished in 48:37, ten seconds ahead of head coach Keith Hardwell, who rounded off his year with some fantastic coaching.

THen came a flurry of three club runners, Glenn Penfold crossed the line in 51:39, followed by Karl Hayes and Neil Strudwick who finished hand in hand with a time of 51:54.

Neil Pacey crossed the line in 53:30 with Gary Bushby clocking 59:29.

Club chairman Peter Lomax rounded off the results in a time of 1:04 after helping a Crawley runner throughout the race.

Back home were Sam Yates and Leigh Paige, who were running the Festive Frolic, a lapped event in Havant.

Leigh Paige finished three laps (13.1 miles) in 2 hours 39 minutes with Sam Yates running two laps (nine miles) in 1:41.

Results - Benidorm 10k: Simon Gill 36:57, Jack Penfold 38:08 PB, Peter Lee 38:25, Danny Mahoney 43:58, Sarah Zacal 45:30 PB 3rd in category, Byron Kearns 45:30, Shaun Smart 46:07, Marc Annals 47:11, Carolyn Stapley 48:37, Keith Hardwell 48:47, Glenn Penfold 51:39, Karl Hayes 51:54, Neil Strudwick, 51:54, Neil Pacey 53:30, Gary Bushby, 59:29, Peter Lomax: 1:04:07.

AN under-strength Chichester suffered a blow at THurrock as they slipped to a 20-12 defeat in London One South.

Last minute withdrawals meant they made the trip to Essex with only two replacements.

Blues made five changes to the side that hung on for the victory against Dartfordians as Dane Gingell, Tyrese Makasi and John Lindsay joined the forwards, Shaun Baker returned in the backs and Tom Bowman was on the bench.

Chichester, with a gusting wind off the THames Estuary behind them, found themselves pinned into their own half from the start but looked comfortable and soaked up the pressure.

THurrock got the first score of the match with a 35-metre 15th-minute penalty and added a second two minutes later as Chi infringed again.

It took Blues 21 minutes to cross the halfway line with the ball.

A series of phases got Chi to within 12 metres of the try line but the ball was spilled to allow THurrock to clear their lines.

A five minute period of pressure from Blues nearly resulted in a try from Tom Blewitt but he was tackled into touch just short by the THurrock full-back.

Shortly after, Blewitt landed a penalty from in front of the posts but THurrock moved

further ahead with a well-worked move that finished with a try out wide and a fine conversion for a 13-3 lead.

In the final minutes of the half Blewitt kicked two further penalties to reduce the deficit to 13-9 and half time.

THe second half started like the first, with Blues pinned in their own half.

With 48 minutes played, THurrock's fly half sliced through as they added a converted try.

Blewitt reduced the deficit off the tee on 63 minutes but Blues could not find the offload to release a runner and unlock the THurrock defence to add another crucial try.

Blues left Essex frustrated that they did not take their chances and secure a losing bonus point.

Man of the match was Tom Bowman, who had expected to be on the bench for the 2nd XV. Chichester’s next match is on Saturday, December 7, when they entertain Camberley. Bognor let Fareham Heathens off the hook as they lost 17-14 at home in the Hampshire Premier.

Skipper Josh Burgess said: We bossed most of the game and then let them get some cheap tries off our mistakes."

Jeremy Newton and Chris Hay got the Bognor tries.

NEXT GAME

Bognor face a massive four days in season JACK PEARCE believes he will know much more about how realistic Bognor’s promotion aspirations are for the season after the next two matches.

THe Rocks go to Hornchurch tomorrow, who are fourth in the Isthmian Premier, and then host Enfield Town on Tuesday (7.45pm), who sit just outside the play-off places and currently five points ahead of the ninth-placed Nyewood Lane club.

Pearce sees the matches as pivotal as they bid to bounce back from their narrow FA Trophy defeat to Tonbridge Angels last Saturday which ended an eightmatch winning streak.

But he has selection headaches with Pompey loanees Joe Dandy, Josh Flint and Bradley Lethbridge, who is also injured, recalled.

Pearce said: “THe next four days are big days for us because we are playing two of the teams in the top six. We’ve got one away and one at home and they come on the back of a defeat.

“We shall see where we are after them and unfortunately we start tomorrow with three players unavailable with Lethbridge injured, and the two other boys recalled, so we shall where that takes us.

“It is one of the weaknesses we have and not an easy conundrum

but you just make the best use of what you have. But by this time on Wednesday we shall a much better idea of how our season will pan out.

"I am just looking for performances. If we can keep building on performances, then the results will come."

Bognor have boosted their squad with the versatile Ross Edwards becoming the second player to make the switch from Worthing this week following midfielder Ben Mendoza's arrival.THe duo's arrival helps cope with the problem of relying on loan players.

Pearce said: “Ross has a lot more physicality about him but also he is local. He is our player not a loan player."

Lethbridge has a hamstring injury and Pearce and coach Robbie Blake are resigned to losing his services for some time.

Pearce claimed: "He will miss all the big games we have coming up. It's a blow because he is a goal scorer and goals win you games.

It's up to the others now to step up to the mark."

Pearce confirmed Bognor have made Tonbridge aware of an alleged incident in which an object was thrown at keeper Amadou Tangara and have left them to make their own enquiries.

Hornchurch (A) Tomorrow (Saturday November 30), at 3pm

Trophy exit is a double blow JACK PEARCE was left feeling frustrated on two fronts after Bognor bowed out of the FA Trophy after a 2-1 defeat at Tonbridge Angels.

THe National League South hosts edged victory at Longmead.

Joe Turner converted a deep cross to give Angels the lead just before the break.

THey doubled their lead after 62 minutes when Tom Derry finished from another cross.

James Crane's 83rd-minute penalty, after he had been pulled back, saw Rocks finish strongly despite being down to ten men with Brad Lethbridge off the pitch injured and all the substitutes used.

THey could not find a leveller to force a replay but Pearce took encouragement from many aspects of the performance against the higher division outfit who they have clashed with many times over the years.

Boss Pearce said: "It was a good test and I came away with mixed feelings.

"We're obviously disappointed we are no longer in the cup, for two reasons.

"One is it is a financial blow for the club and the other is because it is a good way to keep testing yourself against teams from a higher level."

Pearce felt it was a clash that could easily have gone in his side's favour - had Rocks made more of their chances.

He added: "If we had won 2-1 they could not have complained, and even it had been

a draw they couldn't have complained.

"It was a very, very tight game and very evenly matched, although two different styles of football.

"We created two excellent chances early and missed them both before they missed a very good chance.

"THey scored just before half-time from

a harmless cross which should have dealt with. When they scored their second, you'd think it was all over but the lads showed the spirit that has come together over the past couple of months to get back in it.

"We got the penalty and had two efforts blocked on the line at the end so it was a good effort from the players."

IT WAS a shame to go out of the FA Trophy to Tonbridge Angels – especially as I played a part in our exit.

I hold my hands up, I messed up for one of their goals.

I felt we had the better chances to win the game overall but it just didn’t drop for us. THey are a typical Conference South side and quite physical but they took their chances and we didn’t.

I honestly don’t think there was a gulf between us either.

Even when Brad Lethbridge went off late on and we were down to ten men after using our subs, we still dominated the game and they were trying to hit us on the counter-attack.

But throughout the whole of the game I thought we had better chances and were the better team but we just got undone by mistakes.

THe first one was my mistake and a schoolboy error. It was terrible. It was a cross to the back stick and I was on my heels so the guy just nipped in front of me to score.

But we had chances before then and if you don't take them and they do, you’re left on the back foot and it allows them to constantly try to hit you on the counter.

THough we are out, we have some big games coming up in the league and it could be a blessing in disguise.

A few years ago we had a great run and a great weekend away at Grimsby but in the grand scheme of things that cost us the league. We ended up about eight games behind and playing catch-up. We lost games we should have won.

Obviously, it's not good to lose a game but what it does mean now is we can focus all our energy on the league. THat can be a good thing.

THe game was overshadowed by the incident with our goalkeeper, Amadou Tangara, after their second goal.

I'm not sure what happened but it started after they scored their first goal.

Something was said as they celebrated and it was a bit of mind games.

Amadou's a fiery character and I wouldn't want to upset him. But once he's reacted the fans have seen that and he has started to get abuse. THey obviously felt they could get inside his head. I believe he had a drinks can thrown at him and that's disgraceful.

It's a lot more personal when it's non-league. You are close to the fans and it is a bit different when you have 20,000 fans behind you because you can ignore them because you can't really hear anything.

When there are 40 or 50 people behind you, then you can actually see and hear the people. It's not a crowd, it is a group of people that you can directly relate to.

THey can get under your skin and they obviously got under Amadou's skin.

Players can deal with that but once it starts getting abusive or chucking things, then it is disgraceful.

We have got two tough games coming up now, with Hornchurch away and then Enfield at home.

We had two hard away games earlier in the season with Folkestone and Kingstonian where we said we would be happy if we could get three or four points and we won both.

THere is no reason why we cannot do that again.

We have added another Worthing player in Ross Edwards. He's a bit different to what we usually have as he's a bit of a unit. It is nice to have some more physicality in the side with Joe Cook at the back too. He trained this week and has good feet and can play - so he will be good for us although he will probably keep me out of the side!
