Crunch time for our schools BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk SCHOOLS have reached breaking point in the ongoing funding crisis across the country. Directors from Bishop Luffa School in Chichester have visited the school to speak to students about the impact of the current financial crisis facing schools.
THe Worthless West Sussex campaign says that in real terms, per pupil funding is decreasing by approximately eight per cent while pupil numbers are increasing significantly. Some schools have even been asking parents for additional financial contributions. Headteacher Nick Taunt said: "THe directors asked to come in to show their support for the school and to help
raise awareness of the issues of school funding. "THis is part of the campaign to help parents and the government to understand just how seriously the cuts in education are biting. "THe government says there's more money in education than ever before but that's because there are more children than ever before and because of inflation which contributes to that.
"Schools have been making savings for many years. "THere's nothing left to meet these cuts other than making severe cuts. "THey do affect children. THis isn't just about us but I feel passionately that people need to know what is happening in all of our schools, particularly in a very low funded authority like West Sussex."

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk AN EXHIBITION to celebrate the achievements of Tim Peake has been named the winner of a prestigious national award. THe Tim Peake Exhibition at THe Novium Museum beat competition from museums across the country to win the title of best Temporary or Touring Exhibition 2017 at the Museum and Heritage Awards for Excellence. THe exhibition was curated by THe Novium Museum manager, Cathy Hakes, in partnership with Tim’s father, Nigel Peake. THe free exhibition takes visitors on a space journey that follows Tim’s adventure from growing up in Chichester to becoming the first British European Space Agency astronaut. Bernard Donoghue, director of the Association of Leading Visitor
Attractions (ALVA) and judge at the Museum and Heritage Awards, said: "THe judges loved that this exhibition was created in an impressively short amount of time; that it told the story of a genuine local hero; and that it inspired people – most importantly local children – to be ambitious, that everything is possible, and to reach for the stars." Cathy Hakes added: "It has been an absolute privilege to curate this exhibition and see thousands of visitors engaging with Tim’s inspiring story. "To be recognised by the Museum and Heritage Awards in this way is just phenomenal. Tim’s parents, Nigel and Angela, the ASDC Destination Space Programme, the UK Space Agency and Tim Peake himself have been so supportive and helpful and we are extremely grateful to them all.” Tim Peake said on Twitter: “Congratulations THe Novium Museum on the M and H Awards – great result and well deserved!”
f Paul Jarvis with the alpacas
Unusual guests at city hospice A HOSPICE welcomed a couple of very unusual visitors recently. Two alpacas from Dunreyth Alpacas, based on the outskirts of Chichester, came and visited some of the patients on the ward and in the day centre at St Wilfrid's Hospice. Contact with animals has been proven to help reduce stress, anxiety and depression and having a pet is known to help people feel happier and less isolated and lonely. Animals are also used as therapy for people who are ill or undergoing treatments and can even be used to help increase motor skills and joint movement. Inviting the alpacas to the hospice was the idea of nursing auxiliary, Helen Horsey. She had contacts at
Dunreyth Alpacas and thought it would be a great idea. Cathy Newsam, ward sister, said: “It was a very memorable day at the hospice and the patients who wanted to be visited by the alpacas said that it was the highlight of their day! "THe animals were extremely well behaved and very placid and docile. "THe visit brought a real sense of joy to the hospice and all the staff thought it was a wonderful experience - it certainly brought a great atmosphere into the ward.” At St Wilfrid’s, they are always on the lookout for unusual experiences that can bring pleasure to their patients. THey have thanked Dunreyth Alpacas for helping make happy memories for so many patients and staff.

Lots of fun at college show
Circus brings joy to pupils BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk CHILDREN had a special treat this week when the circus arrived on their school grounds. Parklands School Association invited Happy's Circus to perform at Parklands Primary School. It included breathtaking aerial acts and slapstick comedy. THe circus has been running for 30 years and specialises in running events for schools. Liz Brookes is a member of the PSA and organised the event. She said: "It's the first time we have done this. "My sister-in-law works in the school and she told me about it. I thought it was
a brilliant idea. "I had to book it about a year ago because they are so popular. "We always do a summer fair and a Christmas fair and it was just something a bit different. "THe kids were so excited which is so nice to see. "It's something really different. THe circus tent looks huge in the school field. It looks like a proper event. It's great." THere was also a barbecue, bouncy castle, face painting, raffles and refreshments. All proceeds from the event went directly to the school. Happy's Circus is a professional all human touring circus which visits schools and charities across the country. Visit happyscircus.co.uk to find out more information.
AROUND 4,000 visitors turned out and enjoyed a day filled with fun and games at the beautiful Brinsbury campus of Chichester College. Animal antics proved popular with people drawn to watching the dog agility exhibitions and horse shows. THere were lots of opportunities for visitors with various activities across the campus ranging from tree climbing to crazy golf. Lecturers were on hand sharing lots of DIY and gardening advice, while Southern Cranes gave people the chance to try their hand at controlling various construction machinery. Debbie Parker visited with her family. She said: “It was a fantastic day, as always and so much to see and do. It was so well organised and staff and students were helpful and informative. Well done to everybody involved – a big thumbs up from us.” Principal Shelagh Legrave OBE started the day by planting the first seeds for the new Brinsbury wildflower meadow. She said: “Every year, the Brinsbury Show gets bigger and better and I think this year was one of the best yet – the sun even made a welcome appearance for us. “THe show simply couldn’t happen without the support of our students and staff, who volunteer their time to organise, set up and run the event. THey are the real stars of the show.”
Post ` Recycling change BLUE paper and cardboard recycling bins for St Wilfrid's Hospice have been removed after it was felt it was no longer an effective way to raise funds. THe hospice can still recycle other items including old and foreign coins, printer cartridges and mobile phones.

Things to do this half term PARENTS looking for inspiration for things to do with the family this half term are being encouraged to have a look at the ‘Experience West Sussex’ website. THe website has grouped days out and activities into four different themes. THere are ideas for all the family, no matter what your interests are. West Sussex County Council Leader, Louise Goldsmith, said: “We’re so very lucky to live in West Sussex. It’s a beautiful county with countryside, coast, towns, villages and much more. "It means there’s lots to do on our doorstep when it comes to family activities for the school holidays. “THe Experience West Sussex website has ideas for fun days out, suggestions of places to go for refreshments and a range of itineraries based around the four themes." THe website also has cycling and walking routes across the county that can be downloaded together with the experiences of people who’ve used them, and ideas of events coming up across West Sussex. THis marks the third successful year of the Beautiful Outdoors campaign. Last year’s campaign was shown to bring in more than £1m into the West Sussex economy, with more than 100 businesses featured, and it’s hoped these figures will continue to grow this year.

Police in Sussex respond to attack BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk SUSSEX Police have increased their armed patrol presence in response to this week's horrific terrorist attacks at a concert in Manchester. A total of 22 people were killed and 64 others were injured at the concert on Monday where popstar Ariana Grande had been performing at Manchester Arena. Prime Minister THeresa May announced on Tuesday night that the threat level has now been raised to critical. Sussex Police confirmed they have bolstered their armed policing capability by increasing their armed officers shifts to 12 hours and have enhanced high visibility policing across the two force areas to provide reassurance for local communities. At this stage there are no requirements to deploy armed troops across Surrey or Sussex as there are in other parts of the country. Assistant Chief Constable Steve Barry said: "THe independent Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre raised the national threat level to ‘critical’ which means that their assessment is not only that an attack remains highly likely but a further attack may be imminent. “THis threat level applies to the whole of the UK and not any specific area. Our top priority for Surrey and Sussex is to ensure the safety of the public and in response to the increased national
threat level we have increased our armed policing capabilities across both counties and continue to carry out high visibility patrols. “You will see more armed police officers, working alongside regular patrol teams, around the two counties at key sites and in public areas over the coming days as we continue to operate in a state of heightened alert. “We continue to review security plans for upcoming public events and are working with event organisers to ensure there are appropriate measures in place to keep the public safe. “Against this backdrop you will see us continue to provide our day-to-day policing across the two counties. “Terrorists want to create discord, distrust and to create fear and we are determined to stand with our communities and work together to ensure we do everything possible to prevent them from achieving this. "As such, we reiterate the national advice that the whole UK public should remain alert and vigilant and report anything suspicious, however trivial it may seem, by calling the Anti-Terrorist Hotline 0800 789 321.” Campaigning for next month's General Election was suspended on Tuesday. A planned election debate due to take place at Chichester College with all the local candidates was cancelled on Tuesday evening. Meanwhile, a planned strike by Southern staff has been suspended. Members of the RMT Union were due to walk out on Tuesday.

f Marriott House and Lodge's Bake-off
Cooking up a storm as home hosts a Bake Off competition STAFF at a care home held their very own Great British Bake Off competition. Marriott House and Lodge Care Home hosted the event and challenged staff, residents and visitors to bake a cake. THe bakes ranged from fairy cakes, a traditional Dutch cake, Sponge cakes and a very elaborate chocolate cake. Each cake was judged for its taste and design by a panel of judges. Prizes were awarded and everyone then enjoyed the cakes with their afternoon tea. Marie Forrester, Acting Manager at
Marriott House and Lodge care home, said: “THis has been a huge amount of fun for all involved. "THere has been lots of secret planning and healthy competition between staff and residents and the outcome is fabulous designs and excellent tasting cakes. "We will be holding a similar but larger event later in the year.” Kevin Card, a resident at the home said: "We have weekly cooking sessions which I enjoy as I was a chef for many years, We used an old recipe for ginger and lemon cakes and they were delicious."

University students do their bit to support school children BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk CHILDREN have been enjoying their sensory garden which was built from scratch by a group of students from THe University of Chichester. THe students were tasked with transforming a patch of land at Petersgate Infant School in Clanfield as part of their ‘Make Change Happen’ project. Olivia Hitchen, Amy Marks, Frances
Curme and Rachael Bickle, who are in their final year of teacher training, spent months digging, clearing and designing the new garden. It includes a flower bed, a mud kitchen and a sensory path. Olivia, 21, said: “It’s been great. We are really proud of ourselves. We can’t believe how much we have done. “Everything that we have done, we have done with hardly any money.” THe girls managed to raise £165 through a raffle and also received £2,000 in grants. Rachael Bickle, 26, added: “THere have been lots of things that we haven’t done before that have been new experiences for us. “Some of the kids’ responses have been amazing. THey are so excited.” Headteacher Julie Tasker added: “We chose the project as a school and it was something that we wanted to work towards. “THe girls contacted me and were very excited about taking on the project. “As a school, with the reduced budgets there’s only so much we can do. THe staff haven’t got the time to put into external projects like this. “It’s a whole lot better than we ever imagined. "THe children that we have coming into the school have got ever changing and increasing needs. “We are an inclusive school. We have a child with a physical ability and we have
f Students with pupils one with a visual impairment. It’s really going to benefit them. “It’s incredible. THe space that was there before was just wasted space. ‘THe children and the staff are really excited about it.” Pupil Oliver Kelly, five, is in Year 1. He said: “I think it’s fantastic. I really like the music bit. I think I will be using it a lot.
“It’s a fun thing for the children at the school. We didn’t have anything like this before. “I might come in on a weekend with my family.” THe garden and outdoor learning area will help to stimulate children and will benefit pupils with autism, disabilities and learning difficulties.

Bereavement help success AROUND 5,800 recently bereaved West Sussex residents used a service last year which helps alleviate some of the strain when a loved one dies. THe free Tell Us Once service notifies multiple government and council agencies about a recorded death from a single point of contact. Residents in West Sussex also have access to a more unique service via the Coroner’s team. County Council Cabinet Member for Stronger, Safer Communities, Debbie Kennard, said: “When the cause of death is unknown then it is referred to our Coroner but this can take a bit longer to process. In the past this meant that when a death is registered it was too late to use the Tell Us Once service. “But with around 3,000 deaths referred to the Coroner each year, the team decided to take matters into their own hands and register the deceased’s details onto the Tell Us Once website so families can use it straightaway. “We are one of the few local authorities that offer this special service and it has already made a difference. It can help make a stressful situation that little bit easier.” THe service notifies organisations including HMRC, the DVLA and council services. In 2016/17, there were 8,730 deaths in the county and 5,845 used the Tell Us Once Service. For more information, visit westsussex.gov.uk.

It took the winners under 20 minutes to complete the distance and the final finishers were in just under an hour. After the race there was a barbecue, music
and prize giving. A total of £2,653.49 was raised for THe Sussex Snowdrop Trust.

"This isn't the rich, vibrant education we aspire to give" Continued from page one. "We are not in the business of scaremongering. Our job as headteachers is to present what is happening. "THere isn't enough money to pay for the basics. "THe survey of more than 700 heads across 14 counties makes for sombre reading when you hear of the number of teachers that are being cut from schools. "If you cut teachers, you have fewer classes. If you have fewer classes, you have larger classes and you have less choice. THis isn't the sort of rich vibrant education that we aspire to give to our children." Now, Mr Taunt is urging voters to look carefully at the manifestos for different parties ahead of the general election and see what they intend to do about funding. "We have been absolutely clear that we aren't a political movement," he added. "THe election is an opportunity to cast your vote and make a choice. THat's why we've published questions that parents might like to ask all candidates. "What are their priorities with regards to funding of all pupils? How will they protect per pupil funding in real terms? "THe fact is, our money comes from the government, and it's not enough. "THe directors have been listening to pupils and staff. "What impresses me about this place is that the staff are absolutely fantastic. THey push themselves to the limit to meet pupils' needs. "I'm aware that in all our schools there's a breaking point and it's our responsibility not to get to that point and to make sure that pupils get absolutely the best possible experience in the short
time that they have in school." THe directors were also celebrating recent awards given to the school. It has been nationally recognised for its exceptional 2016 performance by the Schools, Students and Teachers network (SSAT). THe awards recognise that the school is in the top 10 per cent of non-selective schools nationally for attainment and the top 20 per cent for progress. Bishop Luffa directors were keen to show support in this way for better funding. Nigel Hoggarth, chairman of directors, said: “THere is a fantastic feeling of calm and purposefulness here. “Teachers and pupils clearly love their school, and the SSAT awards demonstrate how successful they are. But they also spoke movingly to us of the extra pressures that come from larger classes and reduced resources.” Sue Williamson, chief executive of SSAT said: “It’s my great pleasure to commend Bishop Luffa School on their excellent 2016 performance, and to have the opportunity to highlight and share their great work to ensure the success of every child. "SSAT’s Educational Outcomes award recognises the professionalism, commitment and hard work of the leaders, teachers and students at Bishop Luffa School.” Directors also spent time on a tour with Year 9 pupils and listened to teaching and support staff talk about the impact that funding cuts are having. THe directors’ visit was part of the wider WorthLess? campaign in which governors across West Sussex schools demonstrated their concern about the school funding.

Councillors give the go-ahead to build 27 homes in village PLANS to build 27 new homes in the village of Birdham have been approved. Members of Chichester District Council's planning committee gave permission for the application to demolish two bungalows and build 27 new homes in Bell Lane. It comes despite Birdham Parish Council objecting to the plans over fears it would create problems with flooding which had only been solved recently.
Seven of the properties will be affordable homes. THe site will also provide 64 parking spaces including 10 visitor spaces both on plot and in garages. Secure cycle parking will also be available. It forms part of the Birdham Development Plan which was approved in July last year. Chichester Harbour Conservancy had also objected to the plans. Despite that, committee members gave it the green light.

Downton Abbey actor opens project at popular museum BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk ACTOR Hugh Bonneville has opened a £6m project at THe Weald and Downland Living Museum. THe Downton Abbey star was at the launch of THe Gateway Project which has received £4m investment from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Hugh is a local resident and avid supporter of the museum. He said: "I just love coming here for a day out. "It wafts you back into history and it educates you at the same time. "It's very exciting to see it unveiled at last. THese are our roots. THis place is a three dimensional living storybook of our culture." More than 200 people were welcomed to a day of celebration that culminated in the opening ceremony. Martin Purslow, chief executive at the museum, said: “I am absolutely delighted to welcome the public to the three new buildings that make up THe Gateway Project following the largest investment in our 50 year history transforming the visitor experience at our museum from today and for years to come. "Our visitor attraction is not a stately home or a castle telling the story of the lords and ladies of the land. "Weald and Downland preserves the cultural heritage of the ordinary folk
and brings to life the extraordinary people that made this country, our own ancestors. We make the ordinary extraordinary.” THe Gateway Project is designed to transform the visitor experience with a newly configured car park, visitor centre, shop, café and community space. Following 10 years of planning, designing and building, these new areas are now open for the public to admire.
THe idea is that visitors will walk through displays educating on the South Downs as a true gateway to the National Park as well as explaining the museum's origins, region, purpose and collection before entering the outdoor collection at the recreated market square. Stuart McLeod, head of the Heritage Lottery Fund in the South East, said: “THe Weald and Downland Living Museum represents an important part
of the South East’s rural heritage with a number of its rescued buildings the only surviving examples of their type. "It also does award-winning work preserving traditional skills, ensuring they are passed onto future generations. "THanks to National Lottery players, a whole range of new facilities will now provide a wonderful resource for people to learn more about the architecture on display and the people who inhabited it.”

f James King behind the wheel
Apprentice wins industry award AN APPRENTICE from Chichester has won an award. James King, has been named the Southern Counties region Apprentice 2017 in the Federation of Master Builders’ (FMB) Master Builder Awards. As part of the Master Builder Awards the FMB carries out a nationwide search to find the building industry’s best apprentices. James, who works at Guilfoyle Construction in Chichester, was selected in a fiercely contested competition in which he was recognised for his high standard of workmanship and professional attitude toward his work and studies. James has been awarded Southern Counties Region Apprentice 2017 for his dedication and determination. Rather than continuing on the path working as a labourer for a ground work company, a job which he had been doing for several years, James pushed himself outside of his comfort zone and went back to college where he started a structured career path as an apprentice. THe best in Southern Counties will now go up against other winning
apprentices from around the UK with a chance to claim the coveted national Apprentice 2017 crown, as well as a cash prize of £500 from the FMB. THe national awards will be presented at a ceremony held at the Intercontinental Park Lane Hotel in London on September 15. It will be hosted by TV presenter and building enthusiast Nick Knowles. Phil Hodge, Director of FMB South said: “THis is a great opportunity for the FMB to reward the talented apprentices on which the UK construction industry will rely in the years to come. "THis award is a testament to their hard work and enthusiasm in their chosen occupation. "James is a shining example of how commitment, dedication and determination can achieve results and we wish him luck in the national final." James' lecturer Glen Smith has also heaped praise on James. He said: "James always listens intently and is a model student and the dedication that he shows is exceptional and encourages other students."

` New site for sales SELLERS and buyers are settling in to the new home for Sunday car boot sales in Bognor Regis. The weekly events from 8am2pm moved to the Rocks' site in Nyewood Lane and Hawthorn Road earlier this month. They were taken over by car booting business partners Ian Warnett and Ivy Watson who had run the sales for the previous operator, Bray Associates. Ian said: "We are bringing some life back to Bognor. The football club have bent over backwards to help us. "We are getting nearly 30 stalls a week, which is the same as we used to get at our previous site at the Hothamton car park in Queensway. "The public want the car boot sales. If they didn't, they would not have lasted for 40 years in the town." The sales began on the former bus station site in the High Street, now Morrisons' car park, before they moved to the Queensway. They were set to end before the football club stepped in to offer a new location. The club has opened its burger bar for snacks and hot and cold drinks for those who go to the sales. In the winter, the sellers will have the chance to use the Seasons clubhouse at the football ground to ensure the sales can continue every week for the first time regardless of the weather. The entrance for vehicles is from Bognor Sports Club in Hawthorn Road and for pedestrians from Nyewood Lane.

Protesting residents show plenty of the write stuff
f Residents at an anti-housing rally in Pagham
DETERMINED residents have taken the number of protest letters against planned housing in Pagham to more than 2,000. The lengthy campaign opposing the proposed developments has entered the thousands. The milestone figure was reached last Wednesday and was increased by letter number 2,001 the next day. A spokesman for the PAGAM protest group said: "At long last, the magical barrier has been broken. "Long live Pagham and Aldwick. A day to remember - May 18." The stream of correspondence to Arun District Council in the past five months has made the campaign among the biggest from the Bognor Regis area. The 2,000th letter was written by Charlotte Drew, of Swandene. She told Arun: "I object to the planned building of new houses which will have a devastating effect on the village and completely change its character and feel. "It will be put a strain on our local services, the roads will become congested and it will no longer feel like a safe place to raise our son." Grosvenor Way resident Adam Peal followed last Thursday by saying he had seen a steady increase in traffic in the 12 years he had lived in Rose Green. "The general traffic levels running from Pagham to Chichester are already at what appears to be capacity," he said. "Anyone who commutes between the
two, and beyond, already well knows the delays on a daily basis and the absolute carnage created by one or the other of the two roads on the west of town being restricted by an accident/roadworks/ increased traffic. "There is no sustainable room for growth without considerable road development which in itself would have to run across prime agricultural land." PAGAM (Pagham and Aldwick Greenfields Action Movement) is also urging residents to write further objections against Arun's decision to include the sites for 1,200 homes - at Sefter Road, Summer Lane and Hook Lane - in the draft version of its local plan land use blueprint. It is holding an advice session from midday-4pm tomorrow at Aldwick Royal British Legion Club in Hewarts Lane for anyone who needs help to put pen to paper. A statement from PAGAM says: "We are now at a critical point in the fight against Arun. They have produced something called a local plan which is trying to 'lock' in where housing can take place in the future. The residents can object to this positioning of housing developments amongst other things." The forms which are completed will be sent to the planning inspector. He will chair the crucial examination this summer into the local plan's proposals and listen to arguments for and against them before he issues his final decision.

Cheque mates help charities CAKE bakes at Felpham Community College have helped to save lives. THe tasty treats were among the recordbreaking fundraising activities staged by the college's sixth form charity committee in the latest charity week. THe £3,300 proceeds from the events were presented at the college to three charities - Cancer Research UK, Chestnut Tree House children's hospice and Help for Heroes - last week. Georgia Henton, one of the college's sixth form charity committee chairmen, said: "It was very worthwhile to stage the charity week. THe whole point is to let everyone get involved. "It's a really good way to let everyone do their bit and have some fun. It's a way of relaxing as well as raising money. "It's amazing to think that a cake sale can help to save someone's life. When you are doing it, it seems so insignificant and small but, as soon as you see how much good it can do, it is amazing." THe college's charity week has been staged annually each February for well over 20 years. But this year's was the first to reach £3,300. THe proceeds will be split equally between the charities. Georgia was helped by her fellow chairman Carly Jellett to show the activities which brought in the money. As well as baking and selling cakes, they included a penny challenge for Year 7 students, sponging teachers, a dodgeball tournament and the all-action Felpham's Got Talent contest.
"We did really well this year," she said. "A big thank-you to everyone who took part and helped us to raise this much money. All of your work has been really good." THeir fellow chairman, Alice Jarvis, greeted visitors to the cheque presentation. One of the cheques was received by Sandy Parkinson, a volunteer for Cancer Research UK. "As a volunteer, I know how hard it is to raise money," she said. THe donation would help the charity towards its target of three out of every four cancer patients surviving, from two out of four, at least ten years. "THis is a tough target to aim for and we work hard towards it every single day towards that becoming a reality," she said. For Chestnut Tree House, community fundraiser officer Tracy Bowdery said it cost £3.5m a year to run the hospice and its community services. Only a small amount came from the government. "THe rest of it comes from amazing people like you," she said. "We really couldn't do our work without you. We are so grateful you agreed to support us. It's local children you are helping and you are providing these services for." Help for Heroes local volunteer Keith Rule said the donation would help to injured servicemen and women. "THese people don't want charity. What they want is help getting back into society. We support them, enable them and inspire them," he said. THe charities are chosen each year by all the college's students.

DID YOU KNOW DIRECT CREMATION IS THE SIMPLEST OF ALL FUNERALS?
A
growing number of people who want a respectful cremation, without the need for a service or fuss are looking at this as a suitable alternative. In the current world we live, it is becoming more acceptable to move away from tradition and to celebrate a loved ones life how we see fit. Direct cremation is a considerate way of enabling you to do just that. The deceased is collected from St Richards Hospital or within the local area during office hours, respectfully placed in a simple coffin and transported to the crematorium. The ashes are then returned to the family. This meets the needs of people who have no close family, those who wish to just have a cremation and no service or those who wish to have a
memorial service at a time and place that suits their needs. Oaklands Funeral Service, an Independent Funeral Directors in Chichester would like to make people aware that this is a service they can provide. Referring to this service as a Considerate Cremation, it reflects on the sensitivity and the excellent care provided by the staff. It is also an economical option, with prices starting from £1,000 plus fees.* At Oaklands we often use our Chapel of Rest for informal gatherings or funeral services which can be led by a family member or civil celebrant.

Class of '83 to relive Bognor schooldays MORE than 100 former classmates in Bognor Regis are set to get together again tomorrow. Members of the Class of '83 at Bognor Regis Comprehensive School will be staging their first reunion. Tales of life in the classrooms of the school at its former spilt sites of Westloats Lane and Pevensey Road are sure to make the hours fly past. Good days, bad days, popular teachers and friendships will be revived at the event at Newtown Social Club. One of those looking forward to rewinding the clock is Lisa Powis. She said: "A distant, but treasured, memory of mine was of
parties with friends on the beach. These were good times. "People will be travelling to the reunion from as far away as Paignton
and Torquay, and even the USA. "Ex-pupils have caught up with old friends and someone recently met up with an
old friend in New Zealand, where they are now living." The reunion is taking place as the school friends begin to turn 50. Lisa grew up in Bognor Regis in a family of six. She and her twin brother were the joint youngest. They began at the comprehensive school in 1978 at a time when it was massive, with 12 classes a year. Lisa left in 1983 and her twin brother followed two years later after he had stayed on in the sixth form. They moved away but often return to Bognor Regis to visit their parents. The impetus for the reunion quickly grew from a Facebook page set up by another former pupil, Sue Davies, at the end of 2016. Beginning with only a few members, it has grown to more than 170. "I suggested a reunion," said Lisa. "We hope to get over a 100 people attending. A huge thank-you must be said to Sue for setting this all in motion. "We've had some mini-reunions to get people used to getting together as it can be quite daunting. "Since one of our mini-reunions, two people have got together and are now engaged. "It's been fantastic meeting up with everyone in the lead-up to the main event and the whole year group is really looking forward to tomorrow."

Klub's meal deal by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11 LIFE is about to become easier for members of a Bognor Regis charity's cooking group. THey have been awarded a ÂŁ300 grant for a dishwasher to make the meetings of 4Sight's Kitchen Klub less of a chore. THe machine is much needed after the six members with sight loss and three helpers have cooked their three-course meals. A recent menu consisted of devilled mushrooms, Hawaiian chicken and rice salad - with onions, peppers and bacon - and rhubarb and strawberry crumble. Diners washed down the sumptuous meal with a couple of bottles of wine. THe Klub meets monthly on Wednesdays and Chichester resident Paul Voller, 48, said it was a day he always anticipated. He was expertly cutting peppers for the meal in spite of having just five per cent vision. "When I cut any ingredients, I always try to do it in the middle so it's the furthest part away from my fingers. I start with the whole item and then do that for the half and then the quarter. "If I'm preparing something like tomatoes or apples, I will stand them upside down where the core comes out and that creates a flat area. "I always look forward to coming to the Klub and seeing how everybody is and having a nice meal at the end of it. "Coming here allows me to find out how to cook various foods. We can swap tips, talk to other people who have got eye conditions and have a laugh. "It's important to be able to cook food safely and it's also important to try to eat as much food as possible which is healthy."
Paul, whose last job was building hand driers for toilets, has the progressive condition retinitis pigmentosa but he said it was important to live the best life he could. "I usually cook at home once or twice a week. Sometimes, me and my daughter will just go for it and make a really big meal," he said. "But some cooking is trial and error. "Meat is probably the trickiest ingredient to cook. So much of that is about its colour or texture. You can skewer it with a sharp instrument to see how easily it goes in. "I usually try to remember how long it takes to cook, using my talking watch, and how far round I put the dial of my cooker, and repeat that if it works." Accessible kitchen equipment can also help. It includes talking microwaves, like that at the 4Sight premises in Victoria Drive, talking ovens and grills. THe Klub has a ÂŁ3 fee to cover the cost of ingredients. It was started and continues to be run some eight years later by Bognor Regis resident Shirley Buck. Shirley, 78, has dry age-related macular degeneration but she said she was determined it would not affect her love of good food. "Our members come here with a purpose. THey are not just sitting around talking about their eyes. "THey are working with people who have got the same problems but they just want to get on with what they are doing," she said. Members also enjoy each others' company outside the kitchen as well. Shirley lays on two social gatherings a year at her home and organises occasional outings. THe next is a trip along the Chichester Canal. Shirley hopes to arrange a new book group for blind and partially sighted people. THis is expected to start in Bognor Regis Library on a Wednesday this September.

Tee-mendous plans for new golf course f Bognor Regis firefighters take part in the campaign
Thumbs up for safety on roads FIREFIGHTERS from Bognor Regis were among those with a hands-on role in a safety campaign. The crews from the town's fire station went out during a global road safety week and My Red Thumb Day. They were spreading the word about the need for better road safety by cutting the number of drivers who use their phone at the steering wheel and who drive too fast. They also posed for photos to support putting phones away while driving. Gavin Watts, West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service's acting deputy fire officer, said: "I'm very proud of our service's commitment to campaigning for better road safety
across West Sussex. "We do a huge amount of work to make our county's roads safer and it's fantastic to have the opportunity to highlight this during these initiatives. "The important message to share now is that this work doesn't end here. "Speeding and distracted driving will continue to cause accidents and collisions as long as drivers ignore the laws put in place to protect people." Fire crews from Littlehampton, East Grinstead and Horsham were also among those who went out and about in their communities to pass on the message about the importance of good road safety.
f The park's existing putting green
PLAYING golf could become an adventure in Hotham Park in Bognor Regis. Landscape contractor ISS wants to create the 18-hole facility to replace the park's putting green. A statement by the designers of the new course, HM Adventure Golf, says: "The proposal includes a small lake and waterfall and also incorporates themed items and structures constructed from both natural materials and artistically carved 'concrete' render." A woodland theme will be given to the golf course and its features will include a forest waterfall, a woodland trail around the course, a tree trunk hole and a Hotham House putt through obstacle. "The theming associated with the adventure golf experience is essential to underpin the business itself," the statement adds. "The themed structures allow for the facility to be an attractive development that people will use repeatedly." The proposed golf course of some 1,500 sq m in the north of the park. It is designed to cope with up to 70-80 players at a time and fit in with the park's historic integrity. It is intended to extend the current car park with an extra 19 spaces. But these could be provided by re-aligning the existing spaces instead. The intended course will be surrounded by a 2m high anti-climb fence to help with security and control access.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge Dead men tell no tales.
Release date: 26 May Director: David Bowers Starring: Alicia Silverstone, Tom Everett Scott, Charlie Wright Genre: Comedy, Family BASED on one of the best-selling book series of all time by Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid chronicles the adventures of wisecracking school student Greg Heffley, who must somehow survive the scariest time of anyone's life: middle school. Now, in this latest entertaining chapter, Greg must also survive a Heffley family road trip during the summer holidays in order to attend

his Grandmother Meemaw’s 90th birthday party. As you would expect the trip goes hilariously off course thanks to Greg’s latest scheme to get to a video gaming convention, this family cross-country adventure turns into an experience the Heffleys will never forget. The Long Haul is the fourth instalment in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film series following on from 2010's original, the 2011 sequel Rodrick Rules and the Dog Days, released over five years ago back in 2012. Despite not being a reboot, the original cast and crew members from the first three films will not be reprising their roles, making this the first film to feature an entirely new cast. Jason Drucker and Owen Asztalos play Greg and Rowley, Alicia Silverstone and Tom Everett Scott will portray Greg's parents Susan and Frank, and Charlie Wright plays Greg's elder brother Rodrick, whilst David Bowers returns as director.
f Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul f Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar's Revengez Release date: 26 May Directors: Joachim Ronning, Espen Sandberg Starring: Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, Geoffrey Rush JOHNNY Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-new Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge. The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling
the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil's Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea—notably Jack. Jack's only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has had the displeasure of facing to date.

Bank holiday wines don't have to break the bank! Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys
BANK holiday weekend beckons and, although I cannot guarantee the weather, I can promise you 25 per cent off offers at both M&S and this week's featured wine retailer, Tesco's, on six bottles or more. The Tesco's offer expires on May 29 and you will be pleased to ascertain that you are allowed to purchase up to 36 bottles, if that is your wont! Back to the vine, the offer price tantalised me sufficiently to seek to procure some of the more expensive wines, given that the reduction is thereby greater , and I initiated my quest with the acquisition of a 2016 Tesco's finest 2016 Pouilly Fumé reducing from £12 to a mere £9, if one of six bottles or more, and all subsequent prices I quote, for the sake of brevity, will have regard to this bank holiday reduction! This wine is delightfully clean on the palate, has finely balanced acidity coupled with a lingering after-taste and is a good example of gooseberry and citrus flavours that are slightly understated with a touch of flint and is a safe buy at this enticing price! For just £3 more, the Château de Rully I er Cru La Pucelle, a vineyard dating back to the 12th century, with the name La Pucelle
referring to the youngest daughter being accorded an inheritance, is delightfully fragrant with creamy vanilla and a long finish and is a wine with a distinctive taste that could regale your taste buds! I next averted my attention to a rosé wine, namely a 2015 Côtes de Provence, which proved to be dry, very palatable, smooth and an ideal picnic wine at a reduced £6. In terms of reds, a veritable bargain enthralled me in the form of a Castillo San Lorenzo Reserva 2010 on offer at a
measly £4.50. This exhibited strawberry and plum fruit along with well-rounded tannins balanced with some vanilla oak culminating in a subtle spicy finish and a wine to procure post haste at this low price! Two other reds come into the bargain category in the form of two past favourites of mine, commencing with the 2015 Ogio Primitivo on offer for a paltry £3.75, a most palatable wine from the Puglia region, in the heel of Italy's boot, and exuding soft juiciness bursting with spicy blackcurrant

and raspberry fruit flavours. Fill your boots at this offer price! The second red, on offer at a miserly £4.13, is the Telegraph Station Pinot Noir from south Australia, and is definitely worth a punt! This wine is a subtle, light, summery red with raspberry and black cherry flavours and a hint of spice. It's also amazing value for a Pinot Noir! Now venturing in the more expensive section, I happened upon a 2014 Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec for the princely reduced sum of £12. This is a big , complex wine exhibiting juicy fruit flavour with subtle hints of sweetness. Well-balanced, with dry and tart aromas of red berry fruits and on the palate blackberry, cherry and

plum accompanied by cacao and vanilla oak. Its long, lingering finish coupled with a leathery tobacco and pepper aftertaste make this an ideal partner to any steak dish! However, my pièce de résistance this week is the Tesco's finest Mendoza Malbec of either 2015 or 2016 vintage with a mouthwatering price of just £ 5.63 - a veritable gem exuding blackberry and plum flavours with a subtle hint of spice produced in high altitude vineyards and a wine I will regularly add to my collection, given its undoubted quality! This weekend, wend your way to Tesco's to avail yourself of these oenological offers and ultimately enjoy!
Place the chipotle and ancho chillies in a small bowl. Pour over boiling water to just cover and leave for 15 minutes to soak. Drain in a colander, reserving the liquid. Place the chillies, garlic, oregano and a large pinch of sea salt in a food processor and blend to a paste. Add the lime juice and 4 tablespoons of the reserved liquid and blitz to combine. Transfer to a non-reactive bowl.
5.
Place the fish in the marinade, cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6.
For the salad, halve the tomatoes and slice the cucumber and spring onions. Halve, destone and roughly chop the avocado. Combine in a bowl with 3 tablespoons of oil and the lime juice. Season well.
7.
Preheat a barbecue or cast-iron griddle pan to a medium heat. Remove the fish from the refrigerator and cook, turning once, for about 3 minutes each side, occasionally adding some more marinade with a brush during cooking.
8.
Divide the fish among plates and serve with the avocado salad and freshly squeezed lime wedges.

Health &
Well-being
by Denise Kelly
Use diet to control your cholesterol IF YOU have just been diagnosed with high cholesterol, don’t despair! You don’t need to go on any hard-core drugs, or panic that it will be this way forever and your health is at risk for the rest of your life. It’s all in the diet! Eat clean and fresh! Take control of your own health by eating yourself well! Turning your health around does take effort, but this effort could actually save your life! Need I say more... So what should you be eating? 1. If you're looking to lower your cholesterol, the key may be simply changing your morning meal. Switching up your breakfast to contain two servings of oats can lower LDL ('bad') cholesterol by 5.3% in only six weeks. The key to this cholesterol buster is beta-glucan, a substance in oats that absorbs LDL, which your body then excretes. 2. If you're looking for a snack food that lowers cholesterol levels, research shows that you should get cracking! Apparently people who ate 1.5 oz of whole walnuts six days a week for a month lowered their total cholesterol by 5.4% and LDL cholesterol by 9.3%. Almonds and cashews are other good options. However, while nuts are heart healthy, they're also high in calories, so practice portion control. 1.5 oz is about a shot glass and a half. Use a shot glass to measure out your portion so you can see exactly how it looks. 3. Beans, beans—they really are good for your
clogging plaque at its earliest stage by keeping cholesterol particles from sticking to artery walls. Try for two to four fresh cloves a day. 5. Greens and more greens! Popeye ate it, and so should you! This popular green food contains lots of lutein, the sunshineyellow pigment found in dark green leafy vegetables and egg yolks. Lutein already has a reputation for guarding against age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness. Just ½ cup of a lutein-rich food daily also guards against heart attacks by helping artery walls "shrug off" cholesterol invaders that cause clogging. Look for bags of baby spinach leaves that you can use for salads or lightly steam with fresh fish. 6. Avocadosmare a great source of heart-healthy MUFAs, which may actually help raise HDL cholesterol while lowering LDL. And, more than any other fruit, this delectable food packs cholesterol-smashing beta-sitosterol, a beneficial plant-based fat that reduces the amount of cholesterol absorbed from food. 7. Asparagus is one of the top performers, as well as green beans, beets, eggplant, cauliflower, carrots, and okra. By steaming them you’re actually forcing your liver to use up more LDL cholesterol in order to digest them, which means lower LDL levels in your bloodstream. 8. Broccoli is loaded with vitamin K which can protect against arterial calcification or hardening

of arteries. LDL cholesterol can lead to serious heart conditions. Insufficient vitamin K accelerates arterial calcification. This vegetable is also packed with fibre which helps to normalize blood pressure. Consuming broccoli every day can also help you lose weight. So everyone’s a winner! These foods are all very accessible, so there is no excuse not to include them in your daily regime.

heart! Adding ½ cup of beans to soup lowers total cholesterol, including LDL, by up to eight per cent. The key to this heart-healthy food is its abundance of fibre, which has been shown to slow the rate and amount of absorption of cholesterol in certain foods. Try black, kidney, or pinto beans; each supplies about one-third of your daily fibre needs. 4. Aside from adding zing to almost any dish, garlic makes the list of foods that lower cholesterol; it's also been found to prevent blood clots, reduce blood pressure, and protect against infections.

Community News & Views THIS is the first in a regular series of columns by the Aldingbourne Trust which will cover the start of a new era for its work. AMIRI Construction is thrilled to have been awarded a very special project for the Aldingbourne Trust. The contract at the Aldingbourne Country Centre will see Amiri Construction deliver a three-storey conference facility that has been funded by their own efforts and will include: a conference centre for 100 people comprising a new entrance, reception, shop, WCs and changing facilities, a new café for visitors and staff offices. Aldingbourne Trust is a local enterprise that helps people with learning disabilities to have the same opportunities as everyone else to live independent lives. The new building, pictured below, will enable it to continue its support of local businesses, communities and the people it supports to develop their skills and lead an independent life. Over ten years ago, a group of people it supports, volunteers, staff and trustees formed a development group to explore how they could make the best use of their site at the Aldingbourne
Country Centre. They were becoming aware of a growing demand for meaningful support for people with learning disabilities, and wanted to design a site which would work for future generations. They did a lot of market research, visiting places, speaking to people, running workshops and undertook a feasibility study to guide their thinking. During this time, the centre and its approach to social enterprise have really grown - an open farm, mini-golf, woodland walk, beekeeping, wood recycling, Forest Schools, horse rug-washing, adopting railway stations, digital media and music workshops, Sussex Saddlebacks pigs and their maze have all helped them to become a well-known and muchloved destination for families and local businesses. It’s a winning combination – people who are supported have more training and employment opportunities and the customers have a great experience at the centre. In 2010, the trust got the chance to buy some adjoining land which had been used as a quarry – this helped shape the agreement for a masterplan for the site which includes the new Quarry Building. In 2012, the trust obtained planning permission and has been raising funds ever since. Preparations began last year for the main works, with extra parking and improving the access road. Thursday, March 2, marked a day that will go into the history books for the trust... almost 40 years after its start, clients, staff, volunteers and trustees were invited to pick up a spade and start digging the footings. They came from near and far, and as a team, they made the first dig. With the site cleared, pictured below, work has commenced on the foundations and the new building is well underway!
HELPERS at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester are back behind their counter. THe Friends of Chichester Hospitals have resumed serving customers after the opening of their new shop. Customers began to flock into the premises in the hospital's outpatients department, pictured below, after an informal ribbon cutting by Rosemary Billinghurst, one of the longest-serving volunteers at 31 years. Friends' chairman Jane Ramage said: "Everyone is really excited and pleased to be back in business. "The new shop is bright and inviting and the volunteers are delighted to see so many longterm customers again after the break." The Friends had been without a shop for several weeks after their previous premises were taken over for a commercial outlet. Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the operator of St Richard's, provided the new location. The much-valued shop helped the Friends raise £80,000 last year to spend on
medical and other equipment for the hospital's patients thanks to the thousands of hours given by its members. They spent the final days before the shop's opening by ensuring its shelves were stocked with its popular range of funky and attractive gifts, snacks, newspapers, magazines and toiletries. The shop is increasing its stock of healthier food items, like sugar-free sweets and low sugar drinks. Customers with dietary intolerances can buy glutenfree biscuits and low-fat snacks. Medical aids, such as folding walking sticks, have also been introduced after requests from the hospital's physiotherapists and occupational therapists. Mrs Ramage praised the volunteers for continuing their trolley service to inpatients while the shop was closed but said the outlet had been much missed. "This is a new beginning and we are confident that the shop has a bright future," she said. The trust's chairman, Mike Viggers, said the Friends' work was enormously appreciated.
Sir, With regard to the article, 'Noise Fears over pre-school plans’, reported at the time of the committee hearing in Littlehampton on April 26, this appears to be a one-sided report and I would like to point out some inaccuracies. Firstly, we are not objecting to a play school expanding in Aldwick. They have an alternative. Our complaint is its nearness. It is not correct Simon Davis said he proposed limiting the garden area's use to 9am to 12.30pm weekdays - this is the current regulation approved by Arun Council. Cllr Hitchins said 'there is a need for these facilities' but went on to discuss noise and issues that residents suffer. He quoted another playgroup which requested permission for extra children and hours but was refused because of the noise. He, with the majority of the committee, were for protecting residents against noise and voted for a deferral stating noise as the issue. Noise continues unabated. Lee Austin states he completely understands residents’ needs and does not wish to upset anyone. We met with the playgroup before they began, stating our concerns. Dizzy Ducklings were written to at least twice before environmental health were involved. The playgroup, despite saying they finish at 1pm, finish at 2pm most days, carers leaving at 2.30pm. They state they do not operate during holidays but nine clubs in the summer are advertised for five to 11-year-olds for most of the day. As mentioned at the hearing, if Dizzy Ducklings wished to expand, why did they give up the hall at Willowhale, with facilities for 55 children? This was not annoying anyone and was on a site with a doctors' surgery, library and council offices. For us, the noise starts at 9am when cars arrive. At 9.15am, children come outside, leaving the side door of the hall open, where noise emits and echoes around the narrow garden. Even in the rain, they are out for more than two hours. Without windows open and TV on we can still hear screams and crying. Equipment is extremely close to our hedge. There is no peace until later in the afternoon. A lot of the problems could be avoided with some consideration. A small playgroup did reside here for years but had only 15 children and three helpers. They played further away and could hardly be heard. Space could be made for Dizzy Ducklings to play at the front of the church with barriers but this was dismissed. It is the closeness of outdoor play we are complaining about. We have grandchildren and are not against children having fun but crying and screaming children for at three-plus hours every weekday in what may as well be our garden is not something we wish for. Joan Jacobs, Aldwick
Sir, One recent issue alone of the Bognor Regis Post (May 12) presented a succession of sorry stories on the quality of decisions being made for Bognor Regis by Arun District Council. On the front page was a report the town council may have to leave its historic town hall home should the building be sold off by Arun to a pub/ restaurant company. The following pages reported how supposedly protected trees along the A259 were being felled to make way for a £1.4m cycle path – hardly very ‘green’. Reading on revealed protests against the installation of new eyesore Portaloos on the prom, instead of making existing underground toilets more accessible. That story also referred to Arun's other seafrontdisfiguring idea of moving the vintage bandstand elsewhere.
Beyond these reports are the bigger issues of the failure by Arun to come up with a local plan to regulate new housing and the longstanding open question of regeneration, huge amounts of public money already having been wasted on ill-considered options. Arun’s latest proposals appear largely to be two new gardens, albeit one under a striking glass roof. It may be early days for these proposals but, so far, it’s hard to envisage how this will truly attract more visitors to the town. A previous letter-writer highlighted a county councillor’s election statement WSCC provides 80 per cent of our local services. The current pressure to save public funds and this growing catalogue of damaging decisions only feeds the question of why Arun District Council exists at all.

Market House was a popular place to shop right at the heart of the city of Chichester By Pat Saunders, volunteer at The Novium Museum IN 1501 the Bishop of Chichester, Bishop Storey, gifted the Market Cross to the City. His aim was to provide a sheltered place for small, honest traders to sell their produce protected from the harsh elements. THe Market Cross continued to be used for this function until 1807 when THe Market House, known locally as the ‘Butter-Market’, opened. In 1802 the City Corporation had agreed that there was a real need for a fixed and central location to be sought for the sale of market goods. THis idea was unfortunately abandoned the very next year due to the great expense that this would incur. In 1806 the issue was raised again and this time it was agreed a Market House should be erected in a central location within Chichester.
THe City Council purchased what is now the site of the Market House on 8 May 1806 from William Humphrey, a brewer at Westgate, for the sum of £650. A Royal Assent was approved on 8 August 1807 which, by an act of parliament, granted permission for the construction of the building. THe original building was designed by architect John Nash and consisted of a single storey building, fronted by the familiar portico of six Doric columns and a niche or alcove at either end. It was constructed by builders William Brooks and THomas Cobden at a cost of £1,522. John Nash was a notable architect of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, responsible for the design of much of regency London, including Regency Street and Regent’s Park, as well as the design and

construction of the Royal Pavilion, Brighton for the Prince Regent. When the Market House opened in 1808, traders selling fish, poultry, butter, vegetables, eggs, cheese and other locally sourced products operated within the building. John Holder was appointed as collector of tolls (a charge levied for use of the building to sell goods) on a salary of £25. THe tolls were required to offset the running costs of the building. THe toll board pictured here, containing a list of the tolls levied for certain goods, as well as a set of weighing scales (also pictured) remain in THe Novium Museum collection. To prevent local traders from evading these tolls metal railings were erected at the Cross to force them to instead make use of the Market House to sell their goods. THe railings remained in place until 1872. THe level of tolls charged differed depending on the goods; for example a butcher or a seller of cheese, bacon or pickled pork was charged one shilling a day, However the toll for any basket of butter not exceeding 12lbs was two pence. A table of tolls was clearly displayed within the building. Over the last 200 years the building has undergone notable changes.
THe original niches at either end of the building were removed and in 1900 the Market House was almost totally remodelled. THe original wooden stalls and fish market to the rear were removed and an additional storey was erected. THis housed the Technical Institute and Art School. In the 1960’s the Art School moved to be merged with Worthing College. A structural survey of the building undertaken in the early 2000's identified the need for significant structural repairs, which could only be undertaken if the building was empty. As the leases of occupying tenants came to an end they were not renewed to allow the City Council time to develop a proposal for the building. THe Butter-market closed early in 2010 for a year-long refurbishment overseen by architect Harry Groucutt. THe re-design was inspired by London’s Burlington Arcade with its Victorian style lamps. THe previous tenants having moved elsewhere did not return. THe first new tenant was cake-shop Patisserie Valerie followed by Worthing jewellers G H Pressley.

ALL-NEW NIRO WINS BEST HYBRID IN 2017 DIESEL CAR AWARDS KIA has received yet more recognition and won a tightly contested award in this year's Diesel Car and Eco Car Awards, with the all-new Kia Niro hybrid crossover winning best hybrid vehicle and the Kia cee’d and Sportage models coming well within the top 50 cars available in the UK, concluded by the panel of judges of Diesel Car and Eco Car. THe all-new Niro was launched in August, 2016, and presents customers with the high efficiency and low running costs of a petrolelectric car with the style, practicality and desirability of a compact crossover. THe judges awarded the model with an overall place of 38 and were impressed by the vehicle’s efficiency and customer-friendly styling and practicality. Ian Robertson, editor and publisher of Diesel Car and Eco Car, commented: “Some hybrids have often come under fire for being awkwardly styled, but not so the Kia Niro, which embraces the booming
crossover trend, but still offers walletfriendly running costs. Looking just as stylish as the Sportage SUV, the Niro can return over 70mpg and offer all the space a family should need. It might be high-tech, but its comprehensive seven-year warranty will reassure owners that this family-sized Kia is built to last.” Last year's car of the year for Diesel Car, the Kia Sportage, came in at a very respectable number three overall in the 2017 awards. THe vehicle has created huge success for the Kia brand in the UK in the past year and a half, with 2016 sales exceeding 40,000 alone. “Last year’s winner can hold its head high, smashing sales targets for Kia and still being one of the best medium SUVs money can buy. THe latest Sportage is the biggest yet, with plenty of space for five people and their luggage. On the road, the 1.7- and 2.0-litre diesel engines are refined, easy to

drive and free from body roll in the corners, making it a relaxing place for passengers. THat awesome seven-year warranty and an impressive list of standard kit makes the Sportage an even more compelling buy,” said Ian Robertson.

Crawley's Westlake takes crown as PostSport Bognor 10k marks record turnout A RECORD turnout for the Bognor 10km saw hundreds of people complete the seafront course, with many cheered on to personal bests. James Westlake, of Crawley Atheltics Club, was the winner, with a time of 31 minutes 47 seconds, less than a month after finishing 27th in the London Marathon. He was followed by Lewes Athletic Club's Matt Bradford (32:30) while Chichester Runners' James Baker (33:05) completed the top-three. In the women's race, Johanna Spannagl of Horsham Blue Star sprinted home in 38:50 to be crowned female champion. Cheltenham Harriers' Shona CrombieHicks came home in second, while Chichester Runners' Lucy Thraves (41:00) was third. There was plenty to cheer for the home crowd, too, with 76 runners from Bognor Tone Zone taking part in the Bognor Rotary Club event. Simon Gill was the first club runner to get back to West Park, finishing in an excellent sixth overall in 33:41. Kari Mack won her over 40 age category, coming home in 41.26 ,which also made
fourth overall in the ladies race. She said: "It was so great to see all the Tone Zone gang and such a great turnout on a beautiful day. Very well done everyone." One runner who really got into the beat of the race was Luke Simmonds. Afterwards, he said: "I'm pretty pleased with my Bognor 10k time of 43:48. I'm definitely not on form, as I had to work rather hard for it. "My average heart rate was 186bpm, with a max of 196. I think people could've heard me huffing if they stood at the finish line, when I was at mile four!" Five of the Bognor runners achieved PBs despite the heat: Colin Hiscock (39:40), Juliet Stallard (43:25), Jess Thomson (44:21), Claire Baker (54:00) and David Sinclair (54:35). Among the new runners entering their first race were husband and wife duo Darren and Bella Cobby. They only started running in January and exceeded their expectations, coming home in 53:51 and 1:03:02. Other first time runners were Ian Buchan (1:04:41), Zoe Hemes (1:07:03), Janice James (1:13:00) and Angela Money (1:15:48). A club spokesman said: "What a great achievement from them all."
DARTS: Nathan Warren of BRSA Wanderers fired in an amazing 12 dart leg in week six of the Bognor Friday Summer Darts League. His effort, which was part of 30 points per dart match, was not enough though to stop his side slumping to an 11-6 defeat to Squash Club. Here are the rest of the results:

Trophies keep coming at Chi ladies
f Chichester City Ladies under-16s
CHICHESTER City Ladies' record year just keeps on getting better and better - with the under-16s team also getting in on the silverware act. The youth team completed a league and cup double just days after the first team celebrated winning promotion to the FA Women's Premier League south after an unbeaten league campaign. The first part was completed at the start of this month at Worthing FC against Withdean Youth. Chichester took an early lead through Alex Collinghan. But Withdean proved to be clinical in front of goal, making it 3-1 with 25 minutes to go. The deficit was reduced when Collinghan caused problems for the Withdean defence and the ball ended up in the back of the net. Captain LouLou Robson then levelled the game 3-3 with a great strike from the edge of the box. Into extra time, and despite Chi hitting the post twice, they could not find a winner so the
game went to penalties. At this point it was anyone's game but Nicole Robinson pulled off some fantastic saves in goal for Chichester and Gracie White scored the final penalty to make it 3-2 on penalties and Chichester won. They then followed this up the following Sunday with a 4-0 league victory against Southdowns, a hat trick for Robson and a goal from Collinghan sealing the win. This means they also won the Sussex County Women's and Girls U16s division with 17 wins in 18 games. Club secretary Caroline Henry-Evans said: "Everyone at Chichester is extremely proud of their achievements this season and are looking forward to the many players who will be making the step up to senior ladies football next season." * Sidlesham FC is hosting a men's six-aside tournament on July 1 and a girls youth tournament on July 2. All are welcome. More details: www.pitchero. com/clubs/sidleshamfc.

Table-toppers Middleton go to Horsham full of confidence
f Chichester took the spoils against Bognor
MIDDLETON CC will be looking to make it three wins from four as they travel to Horsham tomorrow (12.30pm) hoping to extend their lead at the top of the Sussex Premier Division. The Sports Club side sit one point clear in first after wrapping up a convincing six-wicket win against Ansty on Saturday. After the visitors won the toss and elected to bat, the Middleton bowlers took no time to tear into the line-up.Matt Cooke (1 for 21) and Tommy Davies (2 for 25) both took early scalps before Craig Fowle (5 for 15) teared into the middle order, with Ansty eventually dismissed for just 95 in 34 overs. In reply, Middleton did stutter, falling to 29 for 3 early on. But a quickfire 42* from Ben Hansford, with support from Patrick Colvin (19*) guided Sean Heather's side home with nearly 30 overs to spare. That win took Middleton top of the ten team division. But with six of the sides winning two of their first three matches - among them tomorrow's opponent, Horsham, it will be tough for the newly-promoted Bognor team to stay there.
Bognor lose opener to Chi Bognor cruise to 150-run win
BOGNOR made an unsuccesful start to their West Sussex bowls league campaign, losing out to local rivals Chichester. It has taken three weeks of the season until competitive action arrived to Waterloo Square. With the sun shining and a cool breeze off the sea, it was perfect conditions for a match of fours between two friendly local rivals. It was Chi, though, who went home with the spoils, winning three of the four rinks with an 81-67 victory. Bognor won just one match, taking two points from the encounter. The eight-point win was Chi's first victory of the season from their third game, after suffering two close defeats to Southbourne and East Preston. Next up for the Priory Park side is an away match at Worthing on June 3. Bognor will make the same trip this weekend (tomorrow, 2pm). In division two, Pagham started their league campaign with a 64-64 draw against Pulborough. Thanks to winning two rinks to the
visitors' one, Pagham took six points. Fellow division two side Bognor B will finally get their campaign up and running tomorrow (2pm) when they host Pulborough at Waterloo Square. In division three, Middleton - whose last match against Worthing's Marine Gardens was rained off - will welcome Petworth to the Sports Ground tomorrow (2pm). Elsewhere, Selsey's Little Spain had their first home match of the season against Witterings BC last Saturday and emerged as fine victors, 100-74, winning on three rinks and losing on the other two. The following day Little Spain travelled to Emsworth for another friendly. The result was an excellent victory for Little Spain 80-69, winning on four of the five rinks. This Sunday, Little Spain host one of their major events of the year with their annual Invitation Trophy. Teams from around the area are taking part. It is a 10.30am start for the day-long event and spectators are very welcome.
f Bognor return to action tomorrow at Worthing

BOGNOR CC chalked up their first win of the season with a convincing 150-run win against bottom side Portslade. Max Ashmore's side have been unlucky so far this term, pushing their Sussex Division Two opponents close. That good form paid off on Saturday in an excellent team performance which saw Bognor register their first 30 points of the season. After being put in to bat, Joe Ashmore led the way, putting on 102 for the second wicket with Mikey Harris (88) after Ollie Adams was

dismissed for 13. The skipper eventually fell for 48, but Harris pushed on and received able support from Josh Seward (27) and Joe Ashmore (44* from 28 balls) as Bognor reached 266 for 4 from 45 overs. In reply, Ashmore's side were clearly in the mood with Josh Sargeant (2 for 14), Sam Adams (3 for 31) and Scott Bingham (2 for 8) who pegged back Portslade throughout. The innings was eventually wrapped up by Ashmore, who finished with remarkable

figures of two wickets for one run off 5.2 overs. Next up for Bognor is a trip to Mayfield,who are sitting third after winning two from three. Elsewhere, in division three, both Pagham and Chichester Priory Park registered victories. Sean Rutter (4 for 18) was the star for Pagham with the ball as they reduced Haywards Heath to 101 all out. The Nyetimber Lane side knocked off the total with six wickets and 15 overs to spare, Aiden Zammit top-scoring with an unbeaten 66. Chi's win was a little closer, as Jonathon Heaven's side chased down Brighton & Hove seconds' total of 209 with one wicket and eight balls to spare. The star at Goodwood was Jay Hartard, who helped Chi home with an unbeaten 94. Next for Pagham is Crawley Eagles at Nyetimber tomorrow (12.30pm), while Priory Park travel to Eastbourne seconds (12.30pm). In division five west, Middleton seconds took the spoils in the Bognor Regis area derby against Pagham seconds. Stuart Nelmes (45) and Matthew Robinson (48) scored well as Middleton reached 235 before Pagham were bowled out for 103. Tomorrow, Middleton seconds host Billingshurst seconds; Pagham travel to Worthing seconds; and Chichester Priory Park seconds, whose last game was rained off, welcome Broadwater to Goodwood.
Aldwick back up and running after arson ALDWICK CC is well and truly back in business after arsonists torched their clubhouse. The club, based at the Felpham Oval in Brooks Lane, Bognor Regis, lost ÂŁ10,000-worth of equipment in the fire in February. Volunteers have since been busy raising money and donations to ensure the club was ready for the start of the 2017 campaign. The latest fund-raiser involved a visit from Ashes winner Matthew Hoggard, who was the main speaker at a dinner. On the pitch, the good news is they are up and running in division three of the West Sussex Invitation League. The bad is that they have won only one of their three fixtures so far. The latest defeat came on Saturday when Aldwick suffered a 70-run loss at Belgrave
Adelaide. After dismissing the home side for 142 (Keelan Belcher 3-32), Aldwick struggled in reply to reach only 72. The seconds, who play in division six, also slumped to defeat, losing to Lancing Manor by nine wickets after being bowled out for 74, Luke Spindler top-scoring with 24. There was some relief on Sunday when the Sunday XI beat Rustington in a friendly at Felpham Oval. Jamie Murphy (62) was the stand out for Aldwick as they batted first and reached 176 for 7 in 40 overs. In reply, a good team effort with the ball dismissed Rustington for 135. Next up for Aldwick first is Three Bridges thirds who visit Felpham Oval tomorrow (1pm) while the seconds travel to Portslade thirds.

f Ollie Pearce is set to stay at Bognor for the coming season - although top scorer James Fraser is moving on
Rebuilding of the Rocks begins - but Fraser and Budd move on THE Rocks' rebuilding process is underway - although top scorer James Fraser will not be at Nyewood as Bognor return to National League South. Less than a month after the Rocks secured promotion on that memorable day against Dulwich, club officials are starting to put together a squad for the new season. With manager Jamie Howell departing for Eastbourne Borough, it's up to general manager Jack Pearce and assistant Darin Kilpatrick to recruit and retain the talent. The Post can now reveal that Jimmy Muitt and Doug Tuck have signed papers to return to Nyewood next season. James Crane, Ollie Pearce, Chad Field and Harvey Whyte are also set to put pen to paper in the coming days. The Rocks have also added talented young centre half Corey Heath, a former Bognor youth player, who rejoins from Ryman Premier side Worthing, while 17-year-old Tommy Block is also on the books. However, Pearce has confirmed that last year's top scorer, Fraser, and fan favourite Darren Budd will not be returning due to "individual circumstances". Pearce said: "There's no one we have spoken to yet that's said they won't sign. "We are keen to keep the nucleus of the side together. "One of the reasons we did so well was the
team spirit and we need to build on that and move forward with that." On Fraser and Budd departing, he said: "Our circumstances have changed due to the level we are now playing at and because of that both have decided that their own personal interests will take them elsewhere. "Both have been at the club on two occasions. They have great respect for what we do and the club has great respect for them as individuals and players. "There's no falling out, no not agreeing terms, it's just individual circumstances and we wish them both all the best." Pearce was particularly excited with the addition of Heath, a young centre half who came through the youth ranks at Nyewood and worked with Kilpatrick at college. He added the club was keen to talk to Sami El-Abd, Gary Charman and Alex Parsons in the coming week. The long-standing club man also confirmed that the Rocks were keen to retain the services of goalkeeper Dan Lincoln. However, Pearce said that a number of clubs had shown an interest in snapping up the talented stopper. Pearce said: "We've not given up hope he will sign." "I'm hopeful they will all stay. But it's like everything - we will have a negotiation and then see what happens."
'Your club needs help to thrive' OVER the years, Bognor general manager Jack Pearce has done pretty much every job going at Nyewood Lane. But with the club on the rise and returning to National League South, the man who has devoted his entire life to the Rocks is calling for keen-spirited supporters to come forward and help the club thrive. Pearce said: " If we are going to compete in market for players then we need to step things up off the pitch. "There's lots more things the club has to do in terms of match day arrangement and many jobs in the football club that need doing. "We wish to free up as much money which we earn to spend on players and only way we can do that is by getting volunteers. "We are looking for people who are perhaps retired who still have skills - such as those with a trade or a background in accountancy or administration. "There are lots of areas where people can get job satisfaction; the only thing they won't get is the finance. But if people can give two or three hours a week then that will make a big difference to the whole club." Anyone interested can contact the club on 01243 822325 or visit the club's website.
IN THE past few days I have agreed terms to stay at Nyewood Lane for the next season. I think I've been quite clear that I wanted to stay. I've been at the club a long time and general manager Jack Pearce was keen to keep me on so it just made sense to commit for another year. Some of you may be thinking how signing a new deal with a National League South club relates to those in the Premier League. From a player's point of view, it is quite similar. At the end of the season, there is a bit of time when players have no contract with the club they have just played for. That means they can see what comes in terms of other clubs; or they can just wait for the current manager to ring them up. Jack likes to do things faceto-face which makes things easier for us; others like to do things a bit cloak and daggerlike by keeping contact to phones so there's no real trace who they are interested in. When Jack called, he arranged a meeting to come round and have a chat. We both spoke about our thoughts for the next year, where we want to be and the players we want to keep, as well as those players who may not be around for the next season. Then we talk figures and at the end both parties go their own ways. The player then waits a few days to mull things over and then if they want to stay, they will make a call back to say they agree terms. Most players at our level are on nine month contracts which just cover the season, so it starts in July and goes up to the start of May. I'm unsure who else has signed on to stay with Bognor next season. What I do know is that a lot of the lads are keen to stay. We have gone up a league. A lot of the lads are ambitious people. Some of the squad have played at this level before. Those who haven't want to give it a go, so I like to think the
nucleus of the side will be the same. I know a lot of the boys have made their loyalties clear and definitely want to stay so we will just have to wait and see how things pan out. Then there's the situation with the manager, which should be unsettling. However, because we have the backroom staff which are so fixed in place, the day-today running of things in terms of players will be more of the same. Dabba [Darin Kilpatrick] is, of course, massively influential and [fitness coach] Neil [Cockcroft] takes the most of the pre-season. Whoever we get in, they will be working with Dabba, which is a plus and I have got every faith with him to get the best personnel in terms of formation and of shape that we need to do well. It's actually quite exciting - even if it's not something I have experienced too much before. I actually signed when Mick Jenkins was manager and when he departed Dabba was my first real manager. He always said, though, that he was a coach and he wants to have his impact on the training pitch and man management was not his thing so then Jamie came in and he's been there ever since. The new manager will be someone entirely new for me. Dabba I knew from college so it will be first time I've had a new manager that I didn't know on a personal level. But I've been around long enough to know what's expected and I will do everything I can to deliver. For now, though, the focus is on rest. I'm going away in the summer as I'm getting married. It will be nice to have a break and come back for the new season fresh and rested. It's now that I get most time to do that with half-term and the end of the season coming around the same time. So it's on to the stag do and then I'll be back in a few weeks to prepare myself for the new season.
