Warning after truck accident BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk BUSINESSES who use forklift trucks are being urged to check their safety procedures after a Chichester company was fined for a breach of health and safety law. THe warning is being issued after a lorry driver, who was delivering timber
to Covers Builders Merchants in Quarry Lane, suffered life-changing injuries when a forklift truck crushed his hand against a metal post. Robert Gassor, 37, from Oxfordshire, made the delivery on March 18 last year. Rupert Green, chairman at Covers, said: “We extend our heartfelt sympathies to Mr Gassor and his family for the injury he has suffered as a result of the incident. “Following the incident involving Mr
Gassor, we have carried out a thorough internal investigation and review of all our policies and procedures and implemented additional preventative measures at all our depots. " When Mr Gassor arrived, the timber on his vehicle was unloaded using a forklift truck operated by a David Cover and Son Ltd (Covers) employee. After the timber had been unloaded, Mr Gassor got out of his cab and started
to stow away under the lorry, the bearers on which the timber had been placed. While he was doing this, the forklift truck returned and its Cover’s driver passed over paperwork. Mr Gassor then returned to stowing the bearers. As the forklift truck pulled away, its rear swung out and crushed Mr Gassor’s hand against a part-stowed bearer. Continued on page four

Hospital Trust is praised for efforts WESTERN Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has been named Apprentice Employer of the Year in Kent, Surrey and Sussex, by Health Education England. THe trust, which runs St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester, Worthing Hospital and Southlands Hospital in Shoreham, won four awards in total at the HEE KSS Apprentice Recognition Awards in Crawley. Four days later, another apprentice from Western Sussex Hospitals was also crowned Apprentice of the Year in Kent, Surrey and Sussex, at the National NHS Apprentice Recognition Awards in London. Tara Moynihan, 21 from Rustington in West Sussex, was commended by judges for “great leadership skills” she has demonstrated during her Level 4 Project Management apprenticeship. Nearly 100 apprentices are currently employed by Western Sussex Hospitals, earning money and gaining invaluable workplace experience while also working towards new qualifications. THe trust offers a broad range of
apprenticeship programmes, from healthcare and housekeeping to finance and catering. Apprenticeships currently available include theatres and education administration, general assistant roles on the wards, as well as estates maintenance. THe trust’s apprentice lead, Jo Hauffe, said: “I’m so proud of the apprentice programme we run in the trust - it has enabled us to give people from all backgrounds a chance to start a career in the NHS. “We watch them flourish into hard working, reliable members of the team and many of our apprentices have progressed onto professional degrees and gained promotion as a result of completing an apprenticeship.” THe trust hopes winning Apprentice Employer of the Year will help it continue to attract the best new apprentices to join its staff of more than 9,400 people in West Sussex.

Drink driver is jailed and fined A 55-YEAR-OLD man who was caught driving when nearly three times the legal drink drive limit has been sent to prison. In the early hours of Saturday, March 18, members of the public witnessed a Vauxhall Corsa swerving across the road as it travelled from Selsey to Chichester on the B2145. THey dialled 999 and police arrived to see Terry Scott getting out of the driver's seat with the key still in the ignition. He failed a roadside breath test and was arrested. In addition to blowing an alcohol reading of 91 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, he was found to be driving while disqualified and without insurance. Mr Scott, unemployed, of Heath Way, Iver, in Buckinghamshire, appeared at Crawley Magistrates' Court on Monday, March 20. He pleaded guilty to driving a motor
vehicle while above the legal alcohol limit, driving without insurance and driving while disqualified. He was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison, disqualified from driving for 38 months and ordered to pay a £115 fine. PC Tom Van Der Wee said: "THis job was an excellent example of the public contacting us to report a suspected drink driver. THe conviction of Terry Scott should serve as a reminder that we take such reports very seriously." People in Sussex can text officers on 65999 with the details of people they suspect of drink or drug driving or visit Operation Crackdown. You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. If you know someone is driving while over the limit or after taking drugs call 999.

Pedal power is all for hospice BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk SPENDING three days cycling 100 miles through France might sound like a challenge too far for many of us. But Mike Harrington is taking it on to support St Wilfrid's Hospice as it bids to reach its fundraising target and build a new centre in Bosham. THe 52-year-old from Chichester has participated in numerous cycling events, including on the Isle of Wight, in the New Forest and from London to Brighton. He has also, on 14 separate occasions, completed the popular Hayling to Paris bike ride. So when Mike heard about the Dream Wheelers challenge, he couldn’t sign up quick enough.
He said: “I have been cycling for 35 years, it’s a great way to keep fit and I particularly enjoy cycling through France. "THe Dream Wheelers route takes you through not only key historic landmarks, but also along beautiful scenic roads. "While I do cycle regularly, 50 miles per day is challenging enough, while still being achievable for most people with a reasonable level of fitness and a bit of training under their belts. "It’s also not so long that you don’t have time to enjoy a few stops along the way and time to wind down and get to know fellow cyclists in the evening.” Mike is looking forward to his next challenge and will be one of up to 30 participants taking on the 101 mile route through Normandy. THere are still a few places left on the bike ride which takes place from
THursday, June 15 to Sunday, June 18. To sign up please visit dreambuilding.org. uk. Registration costs £300 and it closes on Sunday, April 16. Participants must raise a minimum of £500 in sponsorship. All accommodation and transport is included. St Wilfrid’s Hospice needs to raise £15.5m to build their brand new purposedesigned hospice which will enable them to continue providing specialist high quality care to the community. Since launching their fundraising campaign, the local community has been quick to respond with donations and offers to run all sorts of events. A further £3m is still needed despite the 80 per cent target being reached by the end of March thanks for a £50,000 donation from Chichester District Council. To find out more visit stwh.co.uk.

Contactless payments at city car parks PEOPLE now have the option of paying with their card when parking their car thanks to the introduction of contactless payments. Chichester District Council has become one of the first councils in the country to introduce contactless payments, introducing the feature in 33 machines across the city centre. It builds on the success of payment by phone. Following the installation of new payment machines, shoppers will now have multiple payment options to choose from. THese are available in all city centre car parks, with the exception of Westgate and Avenue de Chartres car parks. THe Avenue de Chartres car park is also currently being refurbished. Councillor Gillian Keegan, cabinet member for commercial services, said: "We all know how frustrating it is when you have no spare change to pay for parking, so it's great that there will now be multiple different payment choices for shoppers to choose from. "In addition to this, the improvements coming to Avenue de Chartres will not only reduce long term maintenance costs, but also enhance safety and accessibility for car park users. "All of these improvements will continue to make parking in Chichester even easier, safer and more convenient."

Deal rejected by members A DEAL aimed at ending the longrunning dispute over driver-only operated trains has been rejected by members of the Aslef union. Members voted by 372 votes (51.8 per cent) to 346 (48.2 per cent) against the proposed deal on Southern Trains. General secretary Mick Whelan said: "We understand and support the decision arrived at in a democratic vote." But Govia THameslink Railway said it was "hugely disappointing". Spokesman Andy Bindon said: "We have shown a willingness and desire to find a solution to their dispute and we will now, once again, sit down with the union, understand the issues which led to this regrettable decision by the drivers and try and find a way forward to resolving it." Aslef members voted on a second deal after members rejected initial proposals in February. THey threw out the initial deal by a majority of 54.1 per cent after 11 days of talks between the rail operator and the union. Southern remains in a year-long dispute on the issue with the RMT union, which represents guards on Southern trains. THe firm wants guards to become on-board supervisors, which would leave drivers with the responsibility of opening and closing carriage doors. THe plan was initially opposed by the RMT union last April.

Firms warned after fork lift accident BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk Continued from page one. He was rushed to St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester, and had to have parts of three fingers amputated. THe accident was investigated by Chichester District Council’s environmental health officers who found there had been a breach of the Health and Safety at Work Act. Covers pleaded guilty to a breach of Section 3 of THe Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. THe company was fined £120,000 and ordered to pay costs of more than £6,000 plus a victim surcharge. In 2013, the Health and Safety Executive issued an updated code of practice regarding rider-operated lift trucks which warns of the hazards of forklift truck movements. It states that they should not be operated near pedestrians. Summing up, district Judge William Ashworth said: “THe accident was tragic for Mr Gassor. THe pain must have been unbearable, and he is still suffering enduring pain. "It is accepted that prior to the accident, the company had a good health and safety record. "It would appear that the company have done everything that they can after the accident to improve safety. THe company should be lauded for its
response.” Mr Green added: "THese include ensuring visiting drivers are kept in a holding area at the depot whilst forklift trucks are in operation and not allowing them to breach this area until the forklift has been safely stopped.” Louise Rudziak, head of housing and environment services at Chichester District Council, said: “Covers is a large and well respected local company and as the judge said, had a good health and safety record before this incident. “However, this was a preventable accident and could have been avoided if forklift truck movements near pedestrians had been restricted. "Unfortunately, this incident has led to life-changing injuries for Mr Gassor. He has lost his job and is no longer able to work as a lorry driver. “Covers have co-operated fully with the district council’s investigation and we acknowledge that lessons have been learned. "THe company has fully reviewed its safety procedures regarding forklift truck movements and a wide range of improvements have been introduced. "I would urge all companies in the district to review their procedures regarding the operation of forklift trucks. “I hope this case sends a strong message that the council will not tolerate anybody being put at risk as a result of safety failings and will prosecute where appropriate." Advice is also available from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) online at hse. gov.uk

Drinks flowed at Rag Race BY FIONA CALLINGHAM news@sussexpost.co.uk BOGNOR REGIS town centre saw the arrival of superheroes, TV characters, political figures and many other strange and wonderful creatures on Saturday during the University of Chichester's annual Rag Race event. Organised by the university's Student Union, this year's pub crawl saw money raised for the Rainbow Trust children's charity. Eager students arrived at the Student Union Bar, THe Hub, at the Bognor Regis campus as early as 6.45am to ensure they could be near the front of the pub crawl despite the event not starting until 9am. THey were already dressed in a highly imaginative range of costumes - something that makes Rag Race such an anticipated event in the area. Rag (Raising And Giving) Race is always the university's biggest fundraising event of the year. Last year saw more than 2,000 people take part and more than £10,000 was raised for a good cause. THis year the turnout was even greater aided by the glorious weather and increasing awareness of the event. Organisers are hoping that this year the final fundraising tally will beat that of previous years. Both the students and participating venues helped raise money with a £5
entrance fee for those taking part and contributions from the pubs and bars included on the route. THe Student Union worked alongside the pubs and bars around Bognor Regis to create a scheduled pub crawl which began at the Bognor Regis SU bar at 9am and ended at the pier nightclub Sheiks. Other pubs involved with Rag Race included the William Hardwicke in the High Street, THe Alex in London Road and QEII at THe Steyne. Even those working during the day found time to enjoy it. Sam Pallat, who DJ'ed at Jack's Beer & Burger Joint during the morning, said: "Rag race is always a pleasure to be a part of. It's great to see so many people come together, let go and enjoy themselves." Students have always embraced the fancy dress side of the day, and this year was no exception. Imaginative costumes were in abundance with most of those taking part opting to dress up in themed groups. Many of the town's residents enjoyed looking out for the various outfits on display. THe Rainbow Trust supports families who have a child aged up to 18 years with a life threatening or terminal illness across the UK. THe event is open to non-students who were asked to pay a more expensive fee (£10) to take part. To find out more about the Rainbow Trust visit rainbowtrust.org.uk
Cash can give areas a boost COMMUNITIES in the Chichester district that have taken new homes over the past two years are being invited to apply for money to spend on improvement projects. THe £250,000 funding pot is part of the New Homes (Parish Allocations) Scheme for 2017 – 2018. THe amount of money available per parish depends on the number of new homes that have been occupied during the period from January 6, 2014, to December 28, 2016. Applications can only be made by parish, town or city councils, but residents are encouraged to submit ideas for projects and improvements to their local parish. Parish councils are invited to apply for a share of the money before Monday, July 31. Cllr Eileen Lintill, cabinet member for community services at Chichester District Council, said: “As a council, our aim has been to protect this money for the benefit of those communities that have taken new development. "THis funding is an opportunity to invest in important facilities and activities that will support our local communities for years to come. “THe government recognises that more housing can result in extra pressures so it has passed this funding to local councils to help communities address their concerns.” Visit chichester.gov.uk/ newhomesbonus for more info.

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk A CHARITY which supports adults with learning disabilities is embarking on an ambitious project to raise £500,000 to redevelop its site - and is asking for help from the community. THe Apuldram Centre, based in the countryside on the outskirts of Chichester, wants to redevelop its current site which has become old and dated. THe Apuldram Centre is a registered charity supporting adults with learning disabilities. It has been running since 1989. It provides three distinct services to enable adults with learning disabilities to lead independent lives in the local area through day care, supported living and outreach. General manager Rachel Aslet-Clark said it was vital they redeveloped the centre. "It will just create a thriving environment. THis place is buzzing because of the people that are in it but when it's windy it lets it down because of the old building. "We will be able to enrich the experience and the quality of the experience that people who are vulnerable and disadvantaged get when they come here. "It will increase our ability to be more self-sustainable. All charities are being asked to do more for less. "Some significant infrastructure will enable us to become more self-sufficient in the future. "THis will provide a platform for us to be able to achieve all the ambitions we
have for the people that we support." At the rural day centre, adults attend and work in departments to engage in activities that are meaningful and linked to occupations such as horticulture, craft, woodwork and cookery. THe centre then runs a shop and a café where they sell homegrown and homemade produce. Although the centre receives an income from the local authority to enable them to provide support to people, they also need to generate income through trading or fundraising activities. Rachel added that they wanted to raise awareness and let people know they can pop in for a cup of coffee and give the centre a little boost. "We have a significant and ambitious plan to redevelop some of the old farm building and although a large philanthropic donor would be wonderful, we simply just need more people to visit us, spend a few pounds and grace us with their presence. "Everything that we are doing is about supporting adults to achieve their potential and encourage them towards a greater degree of independence. "We want to break down those barriers for social isolation. "We want to talk about people with learning disabilities. "THey live side by side everyone else in their communities." THe centre, which also supports people to live independentlyin their own homes, offers around 650 hours of support to people each week, helping more than 100 people across Chichester and the surrounding area. To find out more information about the centre, please visit the website at apuldram.org.

Clare takes on 100 miles in support of project in Zambia BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk WALKING 100 miles may sound like a daunting prospect but for Clare Anscombe it's her way of helping tackle poverty in Africa. THe 22-year-old from Chichester has spent the last week walking along the South Downs Way to support a project in Zambia. Clare will be volunteering in the country in June with international development organisation Restless Development, as part of the UK Government funded International Citizen Service (ICS) programme. She will work in partnership with Zambian volunteers to help lift some of the world’s poorest communities out of poverty. But before she leaves for Zambia she needs to raise £800 for Restless Development. So she decided to walk 100 miles along the South Downs Way from Winchester to Eastbourne. Clare said: "THe biggest challenge has probably been walking over consecutive days and knowing that when you've just completed six hours of walking you have to get up tomorrow and do it again! "Lots of tea and chocolate biscuits and knowing that the money raised will go to help so many young people in Zambia has really helped me to carry on walking! "I've enjoyed learning more about the

local area by walking the South Downs Way. THere are so many historic sites along the trail that I didn't know existed before, such as Winchester Hill and the Devils Jumps." And Clare knows it will all be worthwhile in the end. "It means a great deal for me to raise this money to help young people in Zambia. THe money raised from my fundraising will help to make sure that the communities in developing countries continue to benefit from the work of future volunteers, so it’s vital I reach my target. “THe project I’m working on aims to educate people about HIV and AIDS and improve livelihoods through sessions on CV writing and IT skills. "Over half the world's population is under 30, and in Zambia this population is continuing to grow. At the same time young people in Zambia are facing severe challenges, such as s high prevalence of HIV and unemployment. "It's a great opportunity to experience another culture and make a difference at the same time. "I’m really excited to get out there and start making a real difference to the lives of people in the developing world.” ICS allows young people aged 1825 to make a valuable contribution to sustainable development projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Patients enjoy art at hospice STUDENTS have been working on an art project with patients from St Wilfrid's Hospice to Every Wednesday, St Wilfrid’s Day Centre is always a hive of activity with their Creative Arts group. Since January, two students from Chichester University, Jane and Freya, have been working with a group of patients on an ‘Australian Outback’ project. THe patients made digging sticks, plaster models using press moulds and painted canvasses. Freya said: “One of the best parts of working with the hospice is inspiring the patients to go try out their new skills at home and the fact they bring their art work back in to show to the group.” St Wilfrid’s Hospice provides tailored end of life care both in the community and at the hospice.

"Our numbers are always limited to make sure visitors have the best possible experience. "To avoid disappointment, I would urge anyone planning to visit during the school holidays to book ahead.”

Jim Crowley is ambassador CHAMPION jockey Jim Crowley has been announced as the new ambassador for the 2017 season at Goodwood Racecourse. Having travelled over 50,000 miles and ridden in more than 1,000 races, Jim Crowley’s 189 winners in the calendar year of 2016 crowned an incredible journey for the 38-year-old from Pulborough. Crowley started the 2016 season rated as a 66/1 shot to claim the Flat Jockeys Championship. He defied the odds, breaking many records including one which had been held for decades by the legendary Sir Gordon Richards and Fred Archer: an unbelievable 46 winners in one month. As just reward for winning the title, Crowley has secured the muchcoveted role as Sheik Hamdan Al Maktoum’s number one jockey. As a result, he will undoubtedly taste further success at Goodwood and in particular at the Qatar Goodwood Festival in August. Al Maktoum has enjoyed plenty of success at the meeting over the years and the likes of THikriyaat and Muthmir were successful in the last

two years. Crowley was the second most successful jockey at the track last season with eight winners, including the Cocked Hat Stakes at the May Festival on board Algometer. Crowley said he was thrilled: “I’m very proud to be taking up this role with Goodwood. "It’s my local track so riding a winner here means more to me than anywhere else. "THe quality of racing throughout the year is very high but the Qatar Goodwood Festival in August is the standout meeting and I hope I can ride lots of winners there.” Alex Eade, general manager for Goodwood Racecourse, said: “To secure the services of the leading jockey in the country is very exciting for everyone here at Goodwood. "Jim has always had a fantastic record riding here and I remember him securing a valuable double at our season finale in October on his way to claiming the Jockeys Championship – let’s hope he can win back-to-back titles this season.” Visit goodwood.com for more information.

"THe charity hopes that people living with dementia, including carers and families, will have the opportunity to share their stories and experiences." THe charity is encouraging people to host Dine for Dementia throughout the year. However, with national dementia awareness week taking place May 15-21, this is an ideal fundraising event that anyone can hold to raise money for dementia. Anyone interested in taking part should contact Nicki on 01243 888691 or nicki.clarke@dementiasupport.org.uk Dementia Support is a unique charity that brings together local dementia services under one roof.

Tributes paid to man who battled to get best for town TRIBUTES have been paid to a Bognor Regis man who fought tirelessly for the town.
f Laurie Barnes
Bognor Regis Civic Society chairman and town centre resident Laurie Barnes has passed away, aged 76. His vice-chairman at the society, Hugh Coster, said Laurie's death from prostate cancer late last month soon after he had been admitted to St Richard's Hospital, Chichester, had been a shock. "Now we mourn the loss of a kind, loyal and gentle friend who has guided the civic society from the days of its inception," he said. "And it is worth remembering that Laurie's contribution to the well-being of our town and its people has extended far beyond the civic society. "Before the society was even founded, and he was a founder member in 1998 and the first and only chairman, he was active in and around the town through other movements, notably BEAM (Bognor Environment and Amenities Movement), and was involved in a great deal of work to improve Hotham Park through the Hotham Park Heritage Trust. "And it should be remembered all of his valuable work and care for the town was entirely voluntary. "So we have much to thank him for, and to be grateful for the life of a noble, kind and generous man. We are privileged to have known him and will always remember him." Laurie's younger sister, Judy Longhurst,
said he was born in the Greater London area and went to Pinner County Grammar School. From there, he gained a degree in zoology from Regent Street Polytechnic in central London and then a MSc in marine biology at university in Bangor in north Wales. He worked in Kuwait for a few years in a period when he was married. She believed he returned to Bangor before he settled in Bognor Regis. "He was certainly dedicated to his environmentalism," said Judy. "He was a private man but he had lots of interests. He told me several times how happy he was in Bognor Regis." Laurie's fellow Hotham Park Heritage Trust member, Rosemary Warren, said: "Laurie was a committed environmentalist, passionate about Hotham Park. "It is thanks to Laurie that we have the wonderful legacy that is Hotham Park today. He chaired Hotham Park Heritage Trust through the negotiations with the Heritage Lottery Fund and Arun District Council, his leadership being pivotal in us all working together to achieve £2.2m for the restoration of the park. THose of you who knew him will know we have a great deal to thank him for. He was a loyal, kind and generous friend who was the ultimate volunteer and will be sadly missed." Laurie's funeral will be held at 2pm on April 20 at Chichester Crematorium. Judy has asked for donations to Prostate Cancer UK or charities like Greenpeace.

There's no need to struggle alone Slimming World are there to support you all the way SLIMMING World's philosophy is based on a deep understanding of how people with a weight problem feel - and a passionate desire to help them achieve their goals. Founded over 45 years ago, Slimming World is a network of warm and friendly groups run by highly trained consultants who care enormously about the success and wellbeing of every member. We spoke to a local head of Slimming World Claire Rose for more information. You offer a range of solutions and help for people looking to lose weight. What do you receive the most positive feedback on? Our members tell us they love Slimming World because you need never be hungry, no food is banned, and you get warmth, understanding, encouragement and friendship at every group. Every week we share recipes and stay-on track tips, and the group inspires each other to succeed. We support you every step of the way and you are in control. What's Food Optimising all about? Food Optimising is the easiest, most generous, flexible, liberating and effective health eating plan available. With Food Optimising, you can fill the biggest plate, go back for seconds and still lose weight! It's all about choice: you choose what to eat and when. Food Optimising without exercise will still result in weight loss - we guarantee it! However, when combined with exercise it will bring even greater results. It's a match made in heaven, and we call it Body Magic. Body Magic is a plan that helps you increase your physical activity in a way that fits your lifestyle. You don't have to join a gym and it brings brilliant results like a firmer, more toned body; more energy and vitality; stronger bones and joints; protection from some cancers, heart disease, diabetes and strokes. Why do you think it is important that people feel good about their bodies? Some of the members have told us how unhappy they were before joining Slimming World and that since losing weight they have bags of energy, and feel full of confidence like they never have before, uncovering the person they've always wanted to be. Many of our members have diabetes and in a survey, not only did our members with diabetes lose weight when they joined, 71% felt their diabetes control had improved.
What do you offer members with Slimming World? At your first group you get everything you need to get started plus free access to Slimming World's website for extra motivation mid-week. It costs less than £4.15 a week if you buy a 12week Countdown Course. We are becoming increasingly popular with men - we have around 10,000 male members and around 150 male Consultants running groups. Men love our generous eating plan - and they do very well on it. You can also join if you are pregnant. Slimming World's Food Optimising provides a healthy, well balanced diet and an ideal way to manage your weight when pregnant and breast-feeding. We've also created a special package that's free of charge for 11-15 year olds - its called Free to Go. THe focus is on healthy eating - not weight loss - with loads of praise for young members as they make positive lifestyle changes. You can discover more about free membership for 11-15 year olds at www.slimmingworld.co.uk/free2go. Why do you think the group memberships are so successful? A lot of our members have tried fad diets and slimming on their own and failed. With Slimming World you can eat as much Free Food as you want - and lose weight! At Slimming World we understand the need for a family friendly approach - and that's where Food Optimising comes in. It's a healthier way of eating and living, based on making small, simple changes to how you shop, cook and eat. It doesn't just help you lose weight - it lays healthy foundations for the family that last a lifetime. What can members expect from you? Whether you join a Slimming World group in Aberystwyth, Chichester or Yeovil, as soon as you walk through the door you can be assured of a warm welcome from your Consultant and fellow members - a bunch of really friendly people at various stages on their weight loss journey. Even before you lose a single pound, you can expect to feel good from the moment you decide to join; the people around you appreciate that, just by walking through the door, you've taken the hardest step of all.

Simon's Slimming World success story SIMON Lee from Chichester joined Slimming World in a bid to shed pounds. We spoke to him to find out more about his experience: "I started my Slimming World journey in May 2014 after seeing the before picture of me taken while on holiday, I’d known for a while that I had a weight problem but was in denial, I avoided having my picture taken, never went in the swimming pool on holiday, I was also beginning to suffer some health problems such as chronic sleep apnea, knee joint pain, breathlessness, tiredness and depression. "My daughter Natasha was already a member of slimming world and persuaded me to join and go with her, I didn’t really expect any results as I’d tried many diets and quickly given up mainly through being hungry or lack of willpower having little or no support, however with Slimming World this was about to change!

"All my health problems quickly disappeared as my weight began to fall and once I reached my target weight I was confident enough to get in the gym and tone up. My trouser size went from 44inches to 30inches and my chest from 50inches to 41inches. THis also gave me the confidence to compete in the BBC1 cooking competition The Box in 2015 winning my episode. "If anyone out there feels they need help and support please give Slimming World a try, I know without the help and support of the consultants and fellow members that I wouldn’t have been successful! So much so that I am now looking to train as a Slimming World consultant so that I can help other people achieve similar results."

Young voices combine for special day ENTHUSIASTIC young singers ensured an annual event in Bognor Regis lived up to its name. More than 400 infant and primary school pupils joined older students for the latest of the town's Big Sing occasions. THe day of songs old and new brought music to the fore from the members of the Felpham and Bognor Regis (FAB) schools group. One of the guests was Catherine Barker, head of music and performing arts for the United Learning group of schools like THe Regis School. She said: "I was honoured to be invited to the wonderful Big Sing 2017. THe whole day was brilliant from start to finish. I left Bognor Regis uplifted. "THe Regis School, working with West Sussex Music Hub, shows how singing, music and the arts can bring together the whole community in such a positive way. I look forward to the next event in 2018." THe theme of the day at THe Arena Sports Centre in Westloats Lane was respecting rights. Each school chose a song which related to the theme. THey included Love Can Build A Bridge, You've Got The Love and Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World.
THe performances got underway with Felpham Community College playing a range of songs as the primary school pupils arrived. Emily Barden, the leader for singing in West Sussex, led the warm-up for the 400-plus younger singers from Bartons Primary School, Bersted Green Primary School, Downview Primary School, Nyewood Infant and Junior schools, Rose Green Infant and Junior schools, Southway Primary School, Bishop Tufnell Junior School, Edward Bryant School and St Mary's Primary School. THe afternoon performances began with THe Regis School's sixth form and Year 11 students raising the roof with songs such as All the Small Things and Don't Stop Me Now with plenty of clapping along and singing from the lively audience. THe FAB teachers' choir followed this with its version of Can't Stop The Feeling accompanied by the sixth formers. THe day ended with the FAB boys' choir's rendition of Hold Back the River and Rockstar. THe choir combines students from each of the primary schools in the group. It was accompanied by THe Regis School's sixth formers for the first time to add a special touch to the occasion.

SCHOOLS across the south east will benefit from a £307m cash injection, the government announced this week. THe investment will help to create more than 43,000 new school places in the next three years. Education secretary Justine Greening said: "Our plan for Britain is to build a fairer society with a good school place available for every child. "THis investment of £307m in the south east, together with our proposals to create more good school places, will help ensure every young person in the region has the opportunity to fulfil their potential." THe announcement has come as headteachers around West Sussex maintain their WorthLess? campaign for fairer funding.

Brave Elsie chops hair for ill children
SIMPLY HAIR HAIRDRESSING
SPENCER HOUSE, LONDON RD, BOGNOR REGIS, WEST SUSSEX, PO21 1JS
Tel: 01243 837600
BOGNOR Regis school girl Elsie Miller made a stand to help others on Tuesday when she had half the length of her hair cut off in aid of the Little Princess Trust. In a daring and generous act Elsie, aged 9 years-old, made the decision to donate her long locks to children in need of wigs, and had more than half of her hair chopped off. Before the ‘trim’ her hair was an impressive length, almost reaching the tops of her legs. Now it sits just past her shoulders, something she’s found strange getting used to. THe Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs free of charge to boys and girls across the UK and Ireland who have sadly lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses. Although synthetic wigs are cheaper to produce, they don’t give the wearer the same feeling of confidence that real hair can. Anyone can apply for a wig and the trust hopes that this gesture will help the child and family during their condition.
Elsie’s hair was sent to the Little Princess Trust to help a young boy or girl gain their confidence once again. She first made up her mind to donate her hair after hearing about it from a neighbour. Having had long hair for most of her life the chop proved to be quite a change for Elsie although her mum, Anji, described how she was determined when she first entered the salon. She said: “Elsie was really positive about having it all cut off. Initially after having it done it was quite a shock, but now she’s getting used to it.” Elsie visited her local hairdressers Simply Hair in Spencer Street, Bognor Regis to ensure she was in safe hands when taking the plunge. Hairdresser Emily delicately plaited Elsie’s hair before cutting it. THe plait was later sent to the trust to be used for a wig.

Tea party is tasty way to beat polio SCONES and jam were lifesavers at Felpham Community College. THe enjoyable treats were served up at a tea party to celebrate the success of the college's partnership with Bognor Regis Rotary Club to help wipe out polio. THe event, pictured below, followed the blooming of 1,400 crocus bulbs planted in the college grounds last November - one for each student - for Rotary International's Purple4Polio campaign against the deforming disease. THe purple flowers were supplied by the club to highlight the campaign and the need for it to continue. About 50 guests joined some students who took part in the planting for the afternoon meal last week. Representatives from nearby schools, such as Downview Primary School, Felpham Parish Council, Arun District
Council, the school nurse service were also present along with parents, staff and governors from the college. Students Izzy Saunders and Charlie Cogger, both 15, gave a presentation at the tea party. Izzy said: "Today is about raising awareness of polio and the eradication of it around the world. As long as it remains endemic in one place, the whole world is at risk. "THe crocuses looked good and it was a good way to be part of the community." Charlie said: "Most cases of polio have been eradicated. THe disease causes deformity. Someone who has it would not be able to stand straight. "It destroys limbs and people can be born with them back to front." Fellow student Jackson Voight, 11, said: "We want to make sure polio doesn't
happen to anyone else. THat would be so sad." THe guest speaker at the tea party was Rotary's assistant governor for Surrey and Sussex, Paul Hickson. He spoke about his experiences in India where he had seen the polio vaccine given to the country's underfives as an ambassador for Rotary. "For the past three years, my wife and I have been out to Delhi and Amritsar," he said. "THe Indian government holds a national immunisation day and they vaccinate 172m children on that day. "Nobody thought India would be able to eradicate polio. THey had half of the world's cases in 2007 but they had wiped it out in 2011. "THe mass immunisation has to continue because cases still occur in the nearby countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan. "Seeing these Rotarians arrive from all over the world makes the Indians realise how important the immunisation is. "To get that work done is life-changing and lifesaving. You feel a great sense of worth seeing the vaccine being given." Every child who has been vaccinated dips a little finger in indelible purple paint to show they have taken part in the programme. THose at the tea party were invited to paint a crocus using purple paint. Charlie, Izzy and Jackson joined in, pictured right. Michelle Kelly, an assistant headteacher at the college, said:
f Charlie, left, Izzy and Jackson "Felpham students feel strongly about campaigning for change and this was an ideal opportunity to get involved and to raise awareness of an awful disease that needlessly still affects so many people. "We were planning a sea of purple when we were planting the crocuses and we have been successful. THe school site was awash with purple crocuses and looked amazing." Bognor Regis Rotary Club press officer
Peter Stemp said Rotary International had campaigned against polio for more than 30 years. THe millions of pounds which had been raised were doubled by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. "THere are about 50 cases of polio in the world a year," he added. "THere were three recently but we are very close to eradicating it. If it's possible to eradicate it, we will eradicate it."

Lifesaving walk HUNDREDS of Scouting members from the Bognor Regis area have walked to save lives. THe six to 18-year-olds strolled along the seafront last weekend to raise money for a town centre defibrillator. THe estimated turnout of some 250 Cubs, Beavers, Scouts and Explorer Scouts could have raised as much as £2,000 to enable one of the lifesaving machines to be installed. Richard Beckett, the chairman of Bognor Regis District Scouting, said: "I'm confident the money we will raise today will be enough to buy a defibrillator and have it installed. "THis is exactly what Scouting is about doing something for the community. "Doing a good deed for someone every day is part of the promises our members make. "We are quite hot on first aid as well. It forms part of several badges our members can take. Events like this also help them be aware of the wider community and do their bit for it." THe older walkers completed some two miles from Felpham Sailing Club to THe Waverley pub. THe younger ones did about half the distance from the bandstand to the Waverley or to the sailing club. Most took part last Saturday. A few staged the event on Sunday. Among those setting off on Saturday was Andrew Wigg, a 14-year-old Arctic Fox Explorer. "Hopefully, we can raise enough money for a defibrillator. We want to help others make sure everyone is OK and help to save people's lives. "THe walk will also make people more aware of the Scouting community. "THis is my eighth year in Scouting. You make new friends, take part in new activities and go on camping trips. It's good fun." 1st Felpham Monday Cub Erin Eddy, ten, said: "We are raising money to save lives. I've done other walks with the Cubs before.

New housing scheme for Pagham farmland f Firefighters with their sponges
Fire station event helps good cause FIRE crews in Bognor Regis swopped hose reels for buckets and sponges to raise hundreds of pounds for charity. THe whole-time and retained firefighters buffed up dozens of cars to bring in more than £800 for THe Fire Fighters Charity. THe succession of motors left looking as good as new after some old-fashioned elbow grease from the men at the fire station in West Meads Drive. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service press officer Gary Towson said: "It was a really good day last Saturday and I know the crews were delighted with how it went.
"THey had a good response from the public to help the charity as well as some referrals for our community safety work, which is always important. "It was one of the best days of its kind we have held recently and we are grateful for the public's support." THe Fire Fighters Charity supports more than 5,000 beneficiaries a year and provides treatment - physical or psychological - to firefighters who witness the devastating effects that serious incidents can have. However, the charity relies solely on donations from the general public because it does not receive government funding.

OUTLINE plans have been revealed for dozens of new homes in Pagham. Domusea has asked Arun District Council to agree in principle the redevelopment of farmland around Church Barton House for housing. THe company is seeking to build 89 dwellings on 4.15 hectares at Horns Lane. A statement by the firm's planning agent, Paul White, says the site can join with other land in the Pagham south and north areas identified by Arun as being suitable for 1,200 homes. "Although in separate ownership to adjacent land in Pagham south, the site can be master planned to align with the neighbouring parcel of land to deliver a comprehensive development proposal," he states. "THe dwellings will contribute to the district council's pressing five-year housing land supply shortfall which, in December, 2016, stood at 2.12 years. "THe site is capable of providing a safe and acceptable means of access from Horns Lane and Summer Lane with adequate visibility on to Pagham Road. "Based on the trip generation rates, the development will cause no adverse traffic impact on the local highway network and the site access junction will operate well within reserve capacity." But Caroline Rogers, an environment officer at Chichester District Council, says extra surveys are needed to find out if protected species - like great crested newts, winter wildfowl and bats - are using the site.

OSCAR winners Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Alan Arkin team up as lifelong buddies Willie, Joe and Albert, in director Zach Braff’s comedy Going in Style. THe trio decide to buck retirement and step off the straight-and-narrow for the first time in their lives when their pension fund becomes a corporate casualty.

f Going In Style f The Boss Baby The Boss BabyzTaby Release date: April 7 Director: Tom McGrath Starring: Alec Baldwin, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow Genre: Animation, Comedy, Family DREAMWORKS Animation, director Tom McGrath (Madagascar,) and writer Michael McCullers invite you to meet a most unusual baby. Working as as an agent in the secret war between babies and puppies, he wears a suit, speaks with the voice and the wit of Alec Baldwin, and is also the star in this all new
animated comedy, The Boss Baby. Loosely based on the 2010 picture book of the same name written and illustrated by Marla Frazee, The Boss Baby is a hilariously universal story which focuses upon how a new baby's arrival can impact a family. THe film is told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator, a wildly imaginative 7 year old named Tim, voiced by Miles Bakshi. Living with his two parents Ted (Jimmy Kimmel) and Janice (Lisa Kudrow), Tim leads a happy life until the arrival of his new business minded sibling distracts attention away from him. With a sly, heart-filled message about the importance of family and togetherness, The Boss Baby is an authentic and broadly appealing comedy for all ages.

Raising a glass to loved ones Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys
I DEDICATED this week's column to a very dear friend, namely Laurie Barnes, who has sadly just passed away - the very gentleman who extolled the virtues of frequenting Lidl in the first place. It is Lidl's Spring Wine Cellar featuring lesser known wines or winemakers from predominantly three countries France, Spain and Italy. Italian wines were my initial port of call and a Vigneti Del Sole 2015 Veneto Bianco priced at £6.99 caught my eye with its appassimento style producing a soft, flavoursome, fruity white of pear and melon combination which proved to be decidedly easy on the palate. My last Italian selection was a 2015 Cascina Valentino Roero Arneis, Arneis being a little known, but characterful grape only grown in the Piemonte region of North-West Italy. Imagine the foothill of the Alps and conjure up Alpine streams and you will fully appreciate this fresh and dry wine whose delicate nature, slightly floral character and herbal fragrance ought to regale your taste buds for the princely sum of £8.99!
Turning westwards to Spain, I selected one white and one red. At £7.99, the 2015 Salneval Barrica Rías Baixas is, as the name suggests, a barrel-aged white from the Albariño grape with oak. With a creamy vanilla scent and citrus fruits to the fore of the taste-buds, this rounded wine lends itself to pairing with any seafood. THese Lidl offers are for a limited time
only, so give this one a try! As for my elected red, it transpired to be a 2011 Rioja Tempranillo Vendimia which intrigued me in terms of its age and also whether it could rival the average Reserva. At £7.49, this classic Rioja fails to disappoint and exudes dark fruit and a hint of chocolate and at this price certainly enticed me! France now beckoned and I
commenced at the lower end, selecting a Domaine de l'Ardennerie Muscadet Sur Lie from 2015 priced at an attractive £5.99 and noted its fresh and lively nature with classic minerality and hint of spring flowers and would complement a dish like scallops with aplomb! Bubbles next and a Bissinger and Co Premier Cru Brut priced at £16.99 had
fine bubbles, was biscuity with a hint of toast and brioche and indubitably justified its price tag! My final selection was a Promesse 2013 Château Soleil priced at £9.99, a wine I will stock up on, given its fruity nose, hints of white pepper and its status as a fine example of a Merlot. A wine to savour in tribute to Laurie à la prochaine !
PostDinner with chef Paul Evans
Spinach, pea and mozzarella open lasagne
difficulty: easy total time: 20 mins serves: 4
Method
INGREDIENTS For the pesto: • 100g peas, thawed if frozen • 50g blanched hazelnuts • 8tbsp extra virgin olive oil • 30g Parmesan, finely grated • 50g mint leavesa good squeeze of lemon juice For the ravioli • 450g spinach, washed • 8 fresh lasagne sheets • 150g peas, thawed if frozen • ½tbsp olive oil • 16 balls bocconcini (mini mozzarella) • double cream • Parmesan shavings or grated Parmesan, to serve
For the pesto, rinse the peas under cold water to defrost fully. In a food processor, blend the peas with the remaining ingredients and 2tbsp water until smooth. Season well, cover and set aside in the fridge until needed. When you’re ready to serve, have 2 large pans of boiling salted water on the go. In one, put the spinach followed by the peas a few minutes later. Cook for 1 minute then drain them all into a bowl. In the other pan, cook the pasta sheets in batches (otherwise they stick together), for 3 minutes per batch, or until al dente, and remove with a slotted spoon on to an oiled tray. To assemble, put a folded pasta sheet on each plate, some dollops of pesto, some spinach and peas, then top with another sheet, tear the mozzarella between them, and add the remaining veg, plus Parmesan, a good drizzle of olive oil and freshly ground black pepper. Pea shoots & pine nuts to garnish.

Health &
Well-being
by Denise Kelly
Get your spring health check YAY! THE sun is shining and we all start to look forward to the warmer months ahead (hopefully!) Spring is a fantastic time of year to shed a few pounds, increase your energy and get your body in tiptop condition. In my one to one clinics, I use an Asyra testing machine with my clients, which is amazing at detecting what’s going on in the body, including the condition of the blood, how your vital organs are working, and if you are lacking certain vitamins and minerals which are making you feel unwell. Consequently this could be affecting your hormones, nervous system, digestion, sleep, asthma, arthritis, osteoporosis, migraines, fertility etc. THe list of ailments goes on. Once you know what the underlying issues with your health challenges are, we can then deal with this together and start your nutrition plan to get you the energy that you really want and deserve to enjoy life to the full. My company motto is "Because life is for thriving, not just surviving!" and I truly believe this statement. If you are not firing on all cylinders, life can feel like an uphill struggle. Kind of treading treacle each day! I work a lot with corporate men, and often they get sent to me from their boss, who is on a mission to get all their staff fighting fit, so they have fewer sick days and work more efficiently every day of the week. Of course, this works well, and the money spent on inspiring great health,
about that person. It flags up a variety of things, and over the last eight years that I have used it in my practice, at times it has flagged up some very personal and life-changing issues. Perhaps one particular client has not been sleeping well, or that they are suffering with palpitations, or headaches, aching joints, nausea, or that they broke their collarbone five years ago, or that they have chronic indigestion. It even flags up how they are feeling emotionally! Honestly, it’s like the truth machine! All of a sudden, these clients are admitting all sorts to me, and wanting answers and solutions. I even had one guy, while I was working in Lithuania with Stat Oil, who had so much emotional stuff going on in his body, he felt like he was going to have a heart attack every day and was secretly terrified. He hadn’t told anyone. As a result of the test, he changed his life, left his job, and sadly left his wife. Of course that’s quite extreme, and I certainly don’t encourage that kind of drastic change. But he knew, deep down, that if he didn’t change his desperately unhappy life, he would probably have keeled over anyway. THe pressure that he was putting on himself to lead a life where he was not being true to himself, was literally killing him. THat story ended up with a happily ever after as both parties have since met new partners and are happier than ever. So it just goes to prove, that you need to be the change in your life story.

is money well spent, as everyone has the energy to perform to a higher standard without getting burnt out. However, some of these men don’t really want to see me initially, and often tell me there is nothing wrong with them when we first meet. And that’s where the Asyra machine comes into play.

The history of the Summersdale housing estate stretches back hundreds of years By Pat Saunders, volunteer at The Novium Museum AFTER the Norman Conquest, a vast amount of land to the north of Chichester, where the Summersdale Estate is, was declared ‘Royal Forest’ and as such was subject to punitive laws. Royal Forests comprised land set aside for specific purposes, such as royal hunting, and was designed to protect the venison and other noble animals (red deer, roe deer, wild boar and fallow deer) of the chase as well as the greenery that sustained them. In 1244, Bishop Ralph Neville gave ‘Hauedstoke and Sumeresdale’ to the Church at Chichester and his successor Bishops. Apart from small farming units, the land remained largely unoccupied until the late 19th century; the only buildings north of the Roussillon Barracks were those on the Summersdale and Warren Farms. Summersdale Farmhouse (now
Summersdale House) first appears on the Tithe Map of 1846/47. At this time a Mr Hackett leased 129 acres from the Bishop, and his family lived in the house. From 1870, the land came into the ownership of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, who in 1894 sold it to auctioneer Charles Stride for £8,000. A short while later, between 1901 and 1913, Mr Stride began the development of the Summersdale Estate as it was known in early directories. THe design of the housing estate had four roads; THe Broadway, Highland Road, THe Avenue and Summersdale Road. THe evolution of the estate at that time was hierarchical, influenced by class, with most of the building sited on the former Barrack Field.
Apart from small farming units, the land remained largely unoccupied until the late 19th century.
f Residents of Summersdale celebrating the end of the war, 1945
f Destroyed air raid shelters at The Broadway, Summersdale, 1947
THe Avenue and part of Summersdale Road had spacious detached Edwardian houses and villas designed to cater for professionals like doctors, solicitors and senior officers of the Army and Navy. THe properties in Highland Road were more modest but were still built to individual designs and were intended for tradespeople like shopkeepers. THe Broadway, completed in 1903 was developed as a row of semi-detached houses of uniform appearance, all faced with flint, except for the mid-pair which display a slightly superior appearance for foreman class, the rest being for workers which, in the early years were rented. THese have patriotic names such as Methuen, Burgoyne, Napier and Roberts derived from the Boer War. Up to the 1920s, these houses were not connected to the main drains.
Each group of four had shared cesspools and wells. Built with THe Broadway was the corner shop which is now a One-Stop convenience store. THere had been ambitious plans for building a railway station for Summersdale sited in Brandy Hole Lane on the Chichester to Midhurst branch line. However, this did not happen; the route of the line is now Centurion Way. THe Summersdale area has been expanded upon over the years including the additions of THe Drive (a number of mock Georgian style mansions) in the 1970s, as well as Winterbourne Road with subsequent roads diverging off of it including mixed social housing. But the layout of the original early suburb of Summersdale to the north of the city remains largely unaltered.

Community News & Views A GLASS of wine led to plans for a unique dementia centre for the Post area receiving a £10,000 boost. THe substantial donation to Dementia Support has been made by Ian Poysden. Ian is the managing director of IEP Financial and met representatives of Dementia Support at a wine-tasting function near Chichester. He was impressed by Dementia Support's proposals to offer a complete dementia service under one roof at Tangmere for people living across the county. Support for people living with dementia is a cause close to Ian's heart following the diagnosis of his father-in-law with the condition. As well as the cheque, he has taken his involvement with the charity a step further by joining its fundraisers. Ian, pictured below with Dementia Support workers, said: "My wife, Michelle, and I have had personal experience of dementia. Over the coming months, it is my intention to help Dementia Support with their fundraising appeal by being on the fundraising advisory board committee. "Both my wife and I think the Dementia Support Hub is a fantastic idea and our business, IEP Financial, support it too as part of our corporate social responsibility policy. Although we are a small, local company, we believe in supporting the local community, especially in raising awareness." THe donation goes towards the renovation of Dementia Support's building and will help to develop the charity's dementia services. THe Dementia Support Hub will officially open next spring and will provide memory assessment, information and advice, community cafe, social activities, day care, befriending, wellbeing services and young onset dementia services. THe charity is working in partnership with the NHS, charitable and voluntary organisations, West Sussex County Council and other statutory organisations to create the bespoke, modern and functional community hub. IEP is based in Hove and Eastbourne and focuses on providing independent financial advice on pensions, investments, mortgates and protection. THe company has an established relationship with a number of charities across the south coast and promotes these causes through professional connections in the region. Over the past few years, IEP has supported the Chestnut Tree House children's hospice and the Rockinghorse Children's Charity.
JUNIOR firefighters from across the Bognor Regis and Chichester areas have had their skills recognised. THe latest 12 students, most are pictured below, to tackle the FireBreak challenge received awards of achievement at a ceremony last Friday. THe awards were presented by Acting Deputy Chief Fire Officer, Gavin Watts, at a ceremony at Bognor Regis fire station in West Meads Drive. THe pass out parade was attended by the students' families and friends. THey watched as the young graduates performed various drills they had learnt during the course. At the ceremony, Gavin said: "THe FireBreak scheme is something we take very seriously in West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service because of the opportunities it gives these young people. "Talking to them today, they say they've learnt teamwork, grown in confidence and some have overcome their fears." Chandler Merritt, one of the Firebreak graduates, said: "THe course was really good. "My favourite part was
using the hose reels to spray water. It was exciting and an experience that not many people my age get to have. "I had not heard of FireBreak course before but I would definitely recommend it to anyone." THe youngsters spent five consecutive days at the fire station learning a variety of new skills. THey included ladder and breathing apparatus drills, HeartStart first aid training and communication skills. Simon Woodland, the lead FireBreak instructor, said: "THis group of students has shown a real aptitude. "It's been a pleasure to see them perform so well during their parade today. "I'm sure their families and friends are just as proud of their achievements as we are." THe students attend the following Bognor Regis and Chichester schools: THe Academy, Selsey; Felpham Community College; Chichester Free School; Bourne Community College; St Philip Howard Catholic High School; Chichester High School; and Littlegreen School.
A SELECTION of sculptures, reliefs and paintings by artists working in the field of British Constructivism will go on display at Pallant House Gallery this spring. THe display complements the gallery’s major spring exhibition, Victor Pasmore: Towards a New Reality, which explores Pasmore’s controversial move from figurative to abstract art. Pasmore was a leading figure among the British Constructivists. His work is included in this exhibition alongside works by artists such as Kenneth Martin, Mary Martin, Anthony Hill and Norman Dilworth, all drawn from the Catherine Petitgas Collection. THe British Constructivists were an unofficial group of abstract artists with shared interests who were inspired in part by the ideals of
Russian Constructivism. British artist Kenneth Martin characterised the new constructed work as an "object which is real and not illusional in that it sets out to represent no object outside [itself ], but to contain within itself the force of its own nature". In the late 1950s and 1960s, the British Constructivists continued to exhibit their work and established the group’s central position within the development of the British avant-garde. By 1960, a new generation of artists including Peter Lowe, Gillian Ware, Norman Dilworth and Jeffrey Steele joined and became closely associated with the group’s ideas. THis exhibition will be available until June 11. For more information visit pallant.org.uk
MORE than 20 children have signed up to start the first violin orchestra in Bognor Regis. THe enthusiastic response has delighted violin teacher Inna Erskine after she devised the idea with Edward Bryant School in the town centre. Inna said: "With considerable deprivation in Bognor Regis, it's vitally important that we make music and art as accessible to as many people from as early an age as possible. "I went to Edward Bryant myself as a child and am so happy that I've been able to return and offer something new to the children. "I was desperately hoping for 12 children to be interested in participating and have been thrilled that 22 have signed up." But it took the generosity of a music shop owner to ensure the plans for the orchestra, pictured below, were not held up by a last minute lack of instruments. THe hire of the violins was agreed in principle with the West Sussex Music Services charity. However, when all the children had signed up, it emerged the music services did not have enough instruments in the correct size. Just four days remained before the first rehearsal when Inna contacted Mike Bosley, the owner of Mike's Music Workshop in Hawthorn Road, to see if he had 20 violins for rent for the term. He did but the fledgling orchestra's budget failed to match the hire prices. But generous Mike agreed to lend the instruments to the school in London Road for free when he heard the orchestra was about to be cancelled before it had even got started. "It's great that children can get the chance to play music at school and, although we only charge a relatively modest amount for our rental instruments, it is a fact that - with school budgets stretched - parents in many cases are not able to afford to give their children a chance to play. "When I was at school, both lessons and musical instruments were available for free. It's a shame that is not the case now. "Fortunately, we stock hundreds of instruments that we rent out or restore for sale, so we were able to help on this occasion." Inna moved back to Bognor Regis last July with her photographer husband and three children. She and another mum launched Harmony Hive, a preschool programme of classes held at the Regis School of Music in Sudley Road, in January. THe multi-sensory music and art-play group runs weekly on Tuesdays during term time. Its new set of pre-school classes begins on April 27.

Sport 37
Blues are left facing the drop after PostSport coming up short to rivals Guildford CHICHESTER are staring the drop straight in the eye after a heartbreaking home loss to one of their relegation rivals. THe Blues have been hovering just above the danger zone of National League THree (London and South East) all season. But a run of five defeats in six has seen Rob Lawrence's side slip into the relegation places as the season draws to a close. THe latest defeat was a heartbreaking loss to Surrey side Guildford. After jumping out 31-10 lead, the Oaklands Park side were left shocked as the visitors scored 27 unanswered points to take a bonus point win. THe Blues now have two must-win games to come - starting tomorrow on the road at Colchester (3pm), who are already destined for the drop. THen it's on to a home match against thirdplace Westcombe Park, as Chi look to make up a three point gap on Southend directly above them. Speaking after the Guildford match, Roger Gould, the club's press secretary, said: "Chichester had a very good 35 minutes before and after the interval when they cruised into
their big lead but then lost the plot and the referee contributed to their downfall. "It was all very disappointing for the Blues and with Southend winning in the last minute at Hertford, Chichester are staring relegation in the face. THey will have to win their last two games to have any chance of survival." Guildford kicked off in sunshine and had most of the possession and territory for 25 minutes. But, after being reduced to 14 as prop Phil Veltom was sin-binned, Chi hit back - with Veltom, Jack Maslen and Henry Anscombe going over to give the Blues a 17-10 lead at the break. THat was extended in the second half when Ben Robson scored with his first touch before Martin O'Callaghan scored Chi's fifth to give the Blues a 31-10 lead. But Guildford hit back, engaging their driving maul tactics together with increasing dominance at the lineout. Chi's Ben Deavall received a yellow card and the Blues crumbled conceding three tries from short distances out. A late penalty and a further try condemned Chi to a heartbreaking defeat.
f Chi stormed into a lead against Guildford...
AS THE end of the Tuesday Double In Double Out season draws to a close, the Captains & Secretaries knockout and the Ladies knockout have taken place at the Newtown Social Club. First up were the officials, who went toe-to-toe in a World Cup format. THe captains and then the secretaries played a best of three legs match. If it's one-all, a sudden death one leg pairs game is played to find the winner. THe first semi-final saw Nick Hales & James Bartley (the Monters) against Les Totham & Sam Burgess (Wheatsheaf ). It went all the way to the pairs game, and for the second time on the night the Monters won in sudden death, making the final for the second year on the trot. THe second semi-final saw Lee Chapman & Phil Hayers (Neptune) take on Karl Wingate & Ian Hackett (Newtown Raiders), with the latter winning with the final tie to spare. THe final started with Hales winning the bull to go first. But Wingate had trouble hitting the in-shot and his troubles continued throughout with Hales winning the game. THe Secretaries game saw Bartley & Hackett go face to face. Both players hit big, but Hackett won through to take the match to the sudden death pairs game. Both Wingate and Hales missed the inshot to start the pairs game, but Bartley and Hackett got the teams going. At the end of the leg both teams started missing doubles, but eventually the double was hit by Hackett, making Wingate & Hackett from the Newtown Raiders the Captains and Secretaries knockout champions 2016/17. THe Ladies knockout saw nine players step up to compete.

f The successful Chi players
CHICHESTER Rugby under-10s took inspiration from the country as they travelled to Pulborough for a full day of competitive action. With the festival being for 'blended' squads, the Chi coaches allowed the squads to choose their own names - eventually settling on Chickens and Cows. Before the games kicked off, the coaches set the squads the goal of creating tries rather than scoring them - with the intention on getting the youngsters to use the space while keeping the width and depth. THe pep talk paid off - with the Chi teams winning seven out of the eight games they played. THe Cows secured wins over Bognor (60) East Grinstead (5-2) and Horsham (3-1) before rounding off the day with an excellent 6-0 victory against Worthing THis saw the squad use the width, with plenty of inter-passing and some fantastic off-loads in what the coaches described as a
fantastic display of running rugby. Noticeable performances were from Jonah Hutchings, Josuha Ellis, James ScrivenWood, and Oli Davidson while improving awards were given to Vittoria Agosti, Frankie Dallaway and Alfie Harris. THe Chickens were just as impressive, winning three of their four games. A 6-0 win over Burgess Hill was followed up with a 3-2 win over hosts Pulborough. A 3-1 defeat to Brighton was quickly forgotten after a 5-1 victory over Horsham. Noticeable performances were given by Finlay Ronnie, Jaiden Cloke, Sam Wilmot and Oscar Delacy. Improving awards were given to Yannick Mack, Archie Ross, Archie Willis and Oscar Pallant. THe coaches said afterwards: "THe whole squad have to be commended on their attitude on the day, to all opposing teams and officials; with the respect shown to all and the nature in which they took to and left the field of play on the day."

THe first round saw an 84 out-shot on the bull from Karen Wilson (Newtown Raiders), as well as a 116 in-shot from Hayley Gatford (Hunston Club), both on their way to meet in the first semi-final. Gatford managed to take the win and the place in the final. THe second semi-final saw Emma Bist (POW 'A') take on Trish Kidd (Cabin Cruisers). Kidd hit three tons on the trot in the first leg and duly finished by hitting double top. THe second leg saw Bist take it to the reigning champion in an awesome leg of darts, stretching the match to the third leg. THe last leg saw Kidd hit a 180 and then a 140, but she was still trailing Bist who was more consistent in her scoring. Both players missed a few out-shots, but eventually it was Kidd who had the luck, taking the second leg and the spot in the final. THe final saw Gatford versus Kidd. Both players hit their double to start, but Gatford found form and hit two tons on the trot. Her form dropped though, allowing Kidd to catch up with her. Kidd then took the leg, hitting the bullseye to take the first leg. Gatford got off the mark first in the second leg, while Kidd missed her inshot. But Kidd overtook with a 140, followed by a ton, and later another ton to leave herself 51. Gatford had nothing and was struggling, but it still took Kidd another eight darts to hit the double, and take the win to retain the Double-In Double-Out Ladies Champion title.

Surprise defeat cannot keep Chi down in excellent season
f The Lions face a battle to finish fourth
CHICHESTER City will be looking to bounce back after suffering only their third league defeat of the season. THe Lillywhites have surprised many in the SCFL Premier this term and are currently sitting five points off the top in third position. Any hopes of a late-run at the title were dashed on Saturday after falling to a 1-0 defeat at strugglers Peachaven and Telscombe. Curtis Ford struck late for Haven to condemn Chi to their first defeat in five games. With second place Haywards Heath winning at league leaders Shoreham, the Lillywhites are now off the pace of the top two. But with those at Oaklands Park not applying for promotion to the Ryman League, much of the focus is on finishing this season strong and building again for the following term. Focus now switches to the remaining five games of the season - starting tomorrow with a trip to Gorings Mead as Chi visit Horsham YMCA (3pm). Miles Rutherford's side will go into the match with confidence after beating YM 2-1 in the reverse fixture in October at Oaklands, Josh Clack and Joshua Case getting the goals.
Pagham push on for fourth Sids strike late to secure a draw Ne
PAGHAM'S search for consistency continues as the Lions once again failed to turn pressure into three points. Mark Bennett's side have been through a topsy-turvy year in the SCFL Premier. THe good news is that the Lions have reached their first final in more than a decade. But, for a club which has ambitions of promotion to the Ryman League, the current league position of fourth is not as good as many would hope. Pagham now have five games left - plus that cup final against Haywards Heath on May 1 - to secure a top four finish and look ahead to next season. THe run-in starts tomorrow when they welcome Crawley Down Gatwick to Nyetimber Lane (3pm). THe young Lions side will be keen to show Bennett that he can rely on them to push Pagham on after what has been a difficult year. Last Saturday's match against Newhaven was systematic of the troubles they have faced. In front of a decent home crowd, the Lions scored early - a sublime Scott Murfin
free-kick was arrowed towards Callum Overton who made no mistake heading over Jake Buss in the visitors' goal. But, as has been the case for most the season, the Lions failed to make the most of the lead and a Lee Robinson strike ensured the Dockers headed back east with a point. It could have been worse for the Lions as Robinson had earlier missed a penalty which, if converted, would have condemned Pagham to an unfortunate defeat. THe game summed up the issue for Bennett's side. Since the turn of the year, Pagham have been completely inconsistent. THey have won seven, drawn three and lost six of their 16 games in all competitions. For a team that had hoped to be pushing for promotion, many at Nyetimber Lane will admit they have been disappointed. If there is a glimmer of light, it is with the youth set-up. THis week Pagham's under21s reached the final of their age group cup after a 2-1 win over Shoreham.

SIDLESHAM struck late to complete a remarkable comeback and keep their fading title hopes alive - just. THe SCFL Division Two side have been hot on the tails of Bosham all season in the hunt for the championship. But recent slip has left the Sids off the pace. With just three games left of the season, they sit in third, eight points behind their local rivals. Manager Daren Pearce must have thought his side had given up all hope as they fell twonil down to Upper Beeding on Saturday.
f Chi are full of cheer in one of their best ever seasons
But a remarkable comeback in the last two minutes saw the Sids peg back Beeding - first through Dan Bassil, then a last minute effort from Dale Hayes. THe draw keeps Sids third. But with Bosham still to visit the Rec on Easter Monday, Pearce's side are still mathematically in with a shot at the title. First, though, they must beat second-placed Jarvis Brook on the road tomorrow (3pm). A win for the Sids would suit Bosham fine, who are level on points but with two games in

hand on Brook. THe Robins have had a week off but return to action tomorrow, welcoming Roffey to Walton Lane (3pm). THe sides last met a fortnight ago when they played out a 0-0 draw. Elsewhere in SCFL Division One, Selsey's late season surge continues after a 5-1 win against surprise package Steyning Town. Goals from Tom Groom, Ryan Morey (2), Bradley Dean and Matthew Boulton sealed all three points for the Blues. Steve Bailey's side currently seventh in the table but are closing the gap on sides like fifthplaced Steyning, who have played four games more than them. Selsey have a tough match tomorrow, though, as they host second-placed Saltdean United (3pm). THe Tigers will no doubt be celebrating after securing promotion last weekend following a 5-0 home win against Seaford Town. In the FA Women's Premier League Division One (south west), it's D-Day for Chichester City Ladies. THe Green and White Army have been top of the table for most of the season winning 15 of their 16 league games so far. On Sunday, they welcome second-place Plymouth Argyle to Oaklands Park (2pm) knowing that a win over their closest rivals would all but seal the title for Chi.
Trophy success for Felpham youngsters THE FUTURE looks bright for these Bognor youngsters, pictured right, as they lifted their first piece of silverware. After some great performances from every team involved, Felpham Colts Youth Under 8s emerged as the winners of the Blackbird Cup. THe final, played at Shrubbs Field in Middleton, saw the youngsters overcome Chichester Under 8s 7-3. In what was an excellent team performance, Boris Kowelczyk and Jude Donovan both bagged a brace. THe other goals were scored by Teddy Stairs, Max Chester and Zeb Lawson. THe rest of team was made up of Lewis Aldred, Tobias Harwood, Aime Chiddle, Eli Yambo and Lennon Pye. It marks a successful year for Felpham Colts
FC, which offers football for players from under-6 right through to adults. THe club provides football for all those in the area who want to play, regardless of their ability.

Rocks rest legs and minds ahead of final promotion push Next Game
AFC Sudbury(A) TOMORROW | 3pm
JAMIE HOWELL says his Bognor side are fit and raring to go for a final promotion push. With just four games to go, the Rocks are still clinging on to the top of the Ryman Premier. But a 1-0 loss on the road at play-off challenging Enfield on Saturday, combined with a win for second-placed Havant & Waterlooville, means that Bognor's lead is now down to a single point. With just three weeks remaining, Howell knows how important it will be for his squad to be on top form. For that reason, he has given his players some time off this week so they are ready to make one final push - starting with a trip to AFC Sudbury tomorrow (3pm). Howell said: "We didn't train on Tuesday as I felt the Enfield loss took a lot out of us physically and mentally. "We had a lot of disappointed players after that match and, with a few games to go, I told them to go and rest their legs and their minds to make sure they are ready for Sudbury." THe loss in north London was the first in 12 league games for Howell's close-knit squad. But despite the lead at the top being cut, the manager remained upbeat for the crucial games to come. He said: "It was one of those things - we were a little bit unlucky but sometimes it goes like that. "THe most important thing is what we do at
Sudbury." On paper, Bognor will be favourites to return from Suffolk with all three points. Sudbury are third-bottom and have not won in five games, their last match resulting in a 0-0 draw at Worthing. But Howell knows better than to dismiss any side in this competitive division. He said: "THey are fighting for their lives so they will have extra incentive to do well. "In some ways it may be better to be playing a side that is 10th or 12th who have nothing to play for. But we will focus on what we have to do and we will need to play well to get something out of it." He added: "I don't need to pick people up. From the results that happened in midweek, we have mathematically finished second so it has already been a successful season no matter what it happens in terms of the run-in. "It's now down to what we do in the next four games as to where we finish." Howell received a timely reminder of thanks for the work he has done with Bognor this year in winning the manager of the month award for March. He said: "It's very nice but it is all about the team who have done brilliantly. It's a reflection of the players, as they are ones who are out there winning games of football. "All I am just focused on is Saturday and finishing as high as we can."
"I'll stick with players I know" BOGNOR boss Jamie Howell is a man who stays true to this word. So despite adding three players to his Rocks squad in recent days, the former Arsenal man says he will stick with the players who have pushed his side to the top of the Ryman Premier. As has been the habit in recent years, the Bognor new boys come with a decent footballing pedigree: Shabazz Omofe is an ex-Chelsea midfielder who signed from National League side Bromley, while 18-yearold Portsmouth midfielder Tommy Scutt has signed on loan until the end of season. Pagham keeper James Binfield has also been added as a back-up. Howell said the additions were all about providing cover in case of injuries. He said: "As is always the case with these things, people are looking to the next thing. "But we have great team spirit and have over-achieved this season. THat's credit to the players that we have. "I will probably go back to those we have because I trust them, like them and it's because of them that we are where we are. "THey know us and we know that they will deliver what we want."
WITH just four games to go, the Rocks are still well in the hunt for the Ryman Premier title. THe team has managed two wins and a loss during these past two weeks. Firstly, playing at home to a struggling Canvey Island side - a team which has performed well and in fact topped the form chart before visiting Nyewood Lane, was an interesting game and easily a potential banana skin for Bognor. But Bognor didn’t underestimate Canvey and played really well, eventually winning this game 4-0. It was a classic Rocks victory, with James Fraser netting (apparently his first) hattrick. Jimmy Muitt also got the other goal as Bognor ran out confident winners in the end. It was great to see Fraser get his hat-trick. He has really given it his all this season. It was then forward to Leiston at home in the rearranged fixture on Tuesday night. THe Blues provided a difficult contest but it was a fine goal by Jimmy Wild that was the difference. It was a bit nervy to watch at the end, but the boys again got the result and that was the main thing. ‘Zorro’ also gave it his all, too, and was in clear pain at the end with cramp. Gary Charman is affectionately known as 'Zorro' due to his protective mask. He’s also been bandaged up in recent matches after a nasty clash with a player in mid-air during the Canvey game. You need players like Charman. Personally, I think he works better in defence he’s good in the air and knows how to shrug off strikers much taller than he is.
It was then off to Enfield Town to take on this play-off chasing side last Saturday. We talk a lot about poor pitches, but this was one of the worst. THe ground has a sand underlay, and while I was talking to a nice Enfield fan, he told me that their usual groundsman hadn’t been available this season. You couldn’t play passing football on that surface, and so it proved as Rocks fell to a 1-0 defeat. To be honest, Bognor weren’t even worthy of a win here. You could see it on the players’ faces as they exited the field after the game. What’s important now is how the team bounces back. It was very downbeat on the coach home. THis was our first loss since Grays Athletic on January 28! But everyone on the trip back agreed that we needed a positive result at struggling AFC Sudbury tomorrow. Here’s hoping for just that! Well done goes to Dan Lincoln, winning the league’s Goalkeeper of the Month for March and Jamie Howell for Manager of the Month. Both successes are well deserved! Don’t forget to vote for your player of the year on the club's website or at the club shop at Nyewood Lane. I think the main player of the year award could go to a variety of contenders. All have gone beyond expectations this year. My favourites are Fraser, Charman, Lincoln and James Crane. Let me know who you think should win. I’ll see everyone on the coach to Sudbury tomorrow. Come on the Bognor boys just four games left now, so let’s fight to the end. UP THE ROCKS
